林轩原本已抬起了右手，浑身上下魔气喷薄，他不仅能够驱使五行元气，若以第二元婴为主，就算是这满天的魔气也能轻松为己所用。
Lin Xuan had already raised his right hand, and the aura of demonic energy was surging from his body. Not only could he control the five elements' essence qi, but if he used the second spirit embryo as the main one, even this overwhelming amount of demonic energy could be easily utilized.
“ jià …… rèn shí wǒ ？”
“嫁……认识我？”
"Ji... Do you know me?"
suī rán lín xuān yǐ zài cāi cè shēn fèn bèi cǐ nǚ kàn pò ， dàn tā suǒ xiǎng de shì duì fāng rèn chū zì jǐ shì líng jiè de xiū xiān zhě ， ér fēi xiàng xiàn zài zhè yàng lián míng zì dōu xiè lòu chū 。
虽然林轩已在猜测身份被此女看破，但他所想的是对方认出自己是灵界的修仙者，而非像现在这样连名字都泄漏出。
Although Lin Xuan had already guessed that his identity might have been revealed to this woman, what he was more concerned about was whether she recognized him as a cultivator from the Spirit Realm rather than knowing his name.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， zì jǐ shì dì yī cì lái dào cǐ jiè ， zěn me huì yǒu rén rèn de ， nán dào shuō ……
有没有搞错，自己是第一次来到此界，怎么会有人认得，难道说……
Hadn't something gone wrong? He was making his first visit to this world; how could anyone recognize him? Could it be...
bīng pò shèng zǔ ！
冰魄圣祖！
The Ice Soul Saint Ancestor!
xiǎng dào zhè ge míng zì lín xuān jī líng líng de dǎ le gè lěng zhàn 。
想到这个名字林轩激灵灵的打了个冷颤。
At the mention of that name, Lin Xuan shivered involuntarily.
mò fēi cǐ nǚ shì cóng bīng pò nà lǐ tīng shuō ？
莫非此女是从冰魄那里听说？
Could this woman have heard about me from the Ice Soul?
bú duì ， lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ， bīng pò shì rèn shí zì jǐ méi cuò ， rán ér què yě jǐn jǐn zhī xiǎo zì jǐ xìng lín bà le ， jù tǐ de míng zì zì jǐ bìng wèi tòu lù ， bīng pò shàng bù xiǎo de ， cǐ nǚ yòu hé cóng dé zhī ne ？
不对，林轩摇了摇头，冰魄是认识自己没错，然而却也仅仅知晓自己姓林罢了，具体的名字自己并未透露，冰魄尚不晓得，此女又何从得知呢？
No, he shook his head. The Ice Soul did indeed know him, but she only knew his surname, Lin. He had not revealed his full name to her, and the Ice Soul was unaware of it; how could this woman know?
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， rán ér xīn zhōng de yí huò ， què shì bàn fēn yě méi yǒu jiǎn shǎo de ， tái qǐ tóu lú ， bīng lěng de mù guāng zài cǐ nǚ shēn shàng sǎo guò ：“ nǐ rèn shí wǒ ？”
念及至此，林轩松了口气，然而心中的疑惑，却是半分也没有减少的，抬起头颅，冰冷的目光在此女身上扫过：“你认识我？”
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan sighed with relief, though his doubts remained unchanged. Raising his head, he scanned the woman with a cold gaze: "Do you recognize me?"
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān méi yǒu zài yǐn cáng xiū wèi shén me ， shēn shēn hū xī ， cóng tǐ nèi bào shè chū qiáng dà de lì 。
此时此刻，林轩没有再隐藏修为什么，深深呼吸，从体内爆射出强大的力。
At that moment, Lin Xuan no longer concealed what kind of cultivator he was. He took a deep breath and released powerful force from within.
“ hēng ， dòng xuán zhōng qī ， yě bù guò rú cǐ ， zhēn bù xiǎo de ， xiǎo jiàn gē gē wèi hé huì duì nǐ rú cǐ kàn zhòng 。” nà nǚ zǐ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， liǎn shàng dài zhe jǐ fēn chà yì zhī sè 。
“哼，洞玄中期，也不过如此，真不晓得，小剑哥哥为何会对你如此看中。”那女子的声音传入耳朵，脸上带着几分诧异之色。
"Hmph, mid-stage Profound Enlightenment, not much to it. I wonder why Little Sword Brother so admires you," the woman's voice entered his ears with an expression of surprise on her face.
“ xiǎo jiàn gē gē ？” lín xuān xiān shì yī è ， suí hòu biǎo qíng què biàn dé gǔ guài qǐ lái le ：“ nǐ shì shuō tián xiǎo jiàn me ？”
“小剑哥哥？”林轩先是一愕，随后表情却变得古怪起来了：“你是说田小剑么？”
"Little Sword Brother?" Lin Xuan was taken aback at first, then his expression turned strange: "Are you talking about Field Little Sword?"
“ nǐ guǒ rán rèn de ， zhè me shuō nǐ zhēn shì lín xuān le ？”
“你果然认得，这么说你真是林轩了？”
"You do recognize me, right? So, are you really Lin Xuan?"
nà nǚ zǐ liǎn shàng lù chū dà xǐ guò wàng zhī sè ， tā gāng gāng yě jǐn jǐn shì cāi cè ， suī rán yǒu bā chéng yǐ shàng de bǎ wò ， rán ér cǐ shí tīng lín xuān qīn kǒu zhèng shí ， xīn zhōng de huān xǐ kě xiǎng ér zhī 。
那女子脸上露出大喜过望之色，她刚刚也仅仅是猜侧，虽然有八成以上的把握，然而此时听林轩亲口证实，心中的欢喜可想而知。
The woman's face showed a look of great joy. She had only guessed earlier and had over eighty percent confidence in her guess, but now that she heard him confirm it herself, the joy in her heart was beyond measure.
“ zhēn shì tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù ， dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu ， shàng tiān hái zhēn shì dài běn gōng bù báo ， ruò jiāng nǐ chōu hún lián jí ， zuò wéi lǐ wù sòng yǔ xiǎo jiàn gē gē xiǎng bì tā yí dìng huì fēi cháng gāo xìng de 。”
“真是踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫，上天还真是待本宫不薄，若将你抽魂莲藉，作为礼物送予小剑哥哥想必他一定会非常高兴的。”
"Indeed, like finding a needle in a haystack, yet without effort. Heaven is indeed kind to me; if I were to use your Soul-Extraction Lotus as a gift for Little Sword Brother, he would surely be delighted."
nǚ zǐ huān xǐ bù jìn de shuō ， rán ér liǎn shàng què yǒu zhēng níng de biǎo qíng shǎn guò 。
女子欢喜不尽的说，然而脸上却有狰狞的表情闪过。
The woman spoke with unbridled delight, but there was a sinister expression flashing across her face.
guān yú tā de lái lì lín xuān bìng bù xiǎo de ， rán ér cǐ nǚ gāng gāng què bìng méi yǒu sā huǎng shén me ， tā zūn hào “ mó shé 。” yì bān rén jiē yǐ mó shé xiān zi chēng hū 。
关于她的来历林轩并不晓得，然而此女刚刚却并没有撒谎什么，她尊号“魔蛇。”一般人皆以魔蛇仙子称呼。
Lin Xuan did not know the origins of this woman, but she had just told no lies. Her title was "Demon Snake," and most people called her Demon Snake Fairy.
nǎi shì bǎo shé shèng zǔ de zhí xì hòu yì zhī yī ， ér qiě hái shì jí shòu chǒng ài de yí gè 。
乃是宝蛇圣祖的直系后裔之一，而且还是极受宠爱的一个。
She was one of the direct descendants of the Holy Serpent Ancestor, and she was greatly favored by him.
yǒu zhè me yī wèi shén tōng guǎng dà de lǎo zǔ zōng ， tā zì rán shì jiāo hèng bá hù ， shì tiān xià yīng xióng wèi wú wù ， nán rén zài tā yǎn zhōng gèng shì yǒu rú fèn tǔ 。
有这么一位神通广大的老祖宗，她自然是骄横跋扈，视天下英雄为无物，男人在她眼中更是有如粪土。
With such a powerful ancestor, she naturally became arrogant and domineering, regarding all heroes in the world as worthless. Men were nothing to her, mere dung.
rán ér è rén zì yǒu è rén mó huò zhě zhèng rú nà jù sú huà shuō de ， lǔ shuǐ diǎn dòu fǔ ， yī wù xiáng yī wù ， zhè wèi mó shé xiān zi shì xiāo zhāng bá hù ， rán ér yī cì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， què yǔ fēi shēng jǐ jiè de tián xiǎo jiàn xiāng yù le 。
然而恶人自有恶人磨或者正如那句俗话说的，卤水点豆腐，一物降一物，这位魔蛇仙子是嚣张跋扈，然而一次机缘巧合，却与飞升麂界的田小剑相遇了。
However, there is an old saying: "Like salt in tofu, one thing can subdue another." Despite being so arrogant, this Demon Snake Fairy met Field Little Sword by chance.
liǎng rén kāi shǐ wèi zhēng duó yī jiàn bǎo wù ， hái dà dǎ chū shǒu ， jié guǒ zhè wèi yǎn gāo yú dǐng de mó shé xiān zi zài tián xiǎo jiàn de shǒu zhōng què chī le bù xiǎo de kǔ tóu 。
两人开始为争夺一件宝物，还大打出手，结果这位眼高于顶的魔蛇仙子在田小剑的手中却吃了不小的苦头。
They fought over a treasure and even engaged in battle. As a result, the haughty Demon Snake Fairy suffered quite a beating at the hands of Field Little Sword.
ruò bú shì guān jiàn shí kè yǒu rén xiāng jiù ， shuō bù dìng jiù bèi tián xiǎo jiàn gěi dāng chǎng dǎ shā diào le 。
若不是关键时刻有人相救，说不定就被田小剑给当场打杀掉了。
If not for timely rescue, she might have been killed on the spot.
àn lǐ shuō ， tā yīng gāi hèn tián xiǎo jiàn rù gǔ kě shì shì jiù yǒu nà me qí tè ， tā bù jǐn hèn bù qǐ lái ， fǎn ér wèi tián xiǎo jiàn de yīng zī suǒ jué dǎo 。
按理说，她应该恨田小剑入骨可世事就有那么奇特，她不仅恨不起来，反而为田小剑的英姿所绝倒。
Logically speaking, she should hate Field Little Sword to the core. But somehow, despite her hatred, she was captivated by his handsome and powerful figure...
yīng jùn xiāo sǎ ， shí lì chū zhòng ， bù lùn xīn jī hái shì shǒu duàn dōu lìng rén pèi fú ， zhè yàng de nán zi jiǎn zhí kān chēng wán měi shēng wù 。
英俊潇洒，实力出众，不论心机还是手段都令人佩服，这样的男子简直堪称完美生物。
Unfortunately, it was unrequited love.
yuán běn shì nán rén rú fèn tǔ de mó shé xiān zi xīn dòng le ér qiě yī fā bù kě shōu shí ， tián xiǎo jiàn chéng wéi le tā xīn mù zhōng de bái mǎ wáng zǐ ……
原本视男人如粪土的魔蛇仙子心动了而且一发不可收拾，田小剑成为了她心目中的白马王子……
Field Little Sword was no ordinary person; his heart for cultivation and seeking Dao was just as intense as Lin Xuan's. How could he be swayed by a woman? Even if he were to be tempted, the Demon Snake Fairy's beauty would not catch his eye.
kě xī tā shì dān xiāng sī 。
可惜她是单相思。
However, Field Little Sword did not outright reject her advances, treating her like dung. He had already learned of her identity and cared little for her. But through her, he could gain great benefits from the Holy Serpent Ancestor. With his cunning, he was confident that he could easily subdue this woman with a flick of his wrist.
tián xiǎo jiàn shì hé děng rén wù ， nà xiū xiān wèn dào zhī xīn yǔ lín xuān xiāng bǐ yě bú huì xùn sè fēn háo ， qǐ huì wèi nǚ sè suǒ dòng ， jiù suàn dòng ， mó shé xiān zi de zī sè yě bú huì rù tā de yǎn zhōng 。
田小剑是何等人物，那修仙问道之心与林轩相比也不会逊色分毫，岂会为女色所动，就算动，魔蛇仙子的姿色也不会入他的眼中。
Maintaining a delicate balance, Field Little Sword never agreed to her advances but pretended to treat her as a close friend. In other words, he was rejected but still held out hope.
bù guò tián xiǎo jiàn dǎo shì méi yǒu yī kǒu huí jué ， jiāng duì fāng qì zhī rú cǎo jiè ， yīn wèi cǐ nǚ de shēn fèn ， tián xiǎo jiàn yǐ jīng dǎ tīng dào le ， mó shé xiān zi tā bù zài hū rán ér tōng guò cǐ nǚ ， què néng gòu cóng bǎo shé shèng zǔ nà lǐ huò dé mò dà de hǎo chù ， xū yǔ wēi yí ， yǐ tián xiǎo jiàn de shǒu duàn ， hái pà bù néng jiāng cǐ nǚ yú gǔ zhǎng zhī shàng 。
不过田小剑倒是没有一口回绝，将对方弃之如草芥，因为此女的身份，田小剑已经打听到了，魔蛇仙子他不在乎然而通过此女，却能够从宝蛇圣祖那里获得莫大的好处，虚与委蛇，以田小剑的手段，还怕不能将此女于鼓掌之上。
This strategy was extremely clever. When the Demon Snake Fairy, who had always been arrogant and domineering, met Field Little Sword, she suddenly became submissive. Whenever he asked for anything, she readily complied, carefully trying to please him.
ruò jí ruò lí ， duì yú cǐ nǚ de shì hǎo ， tián xiǎo jiàn cóng méi yǒu dā yìng guò ， dàn què yòu jiǎ zhuāng jiāng qí dàng zuò shì hóng yán zhī jǐ ， huàn jù huà shuō ， bèi jù jué dàn zǒng néng kàn dào yì diǎn xī wàng 。
若即若离，对于此女的示好，田小剑从没有答应过，但却又假装将其当作是红颜知己，换句话说，被拒绝但总能看到一点希望。
Over time, she learned some of his secrets. She remembered one occasion when she saw a portrait in his lair—Lin Xuan's portrait.
zhè yàng de shǒu duàn ， gāo míng zhī jí ， zài wài miàn xiāo zhāng bá hù de mó shé xiān zi jiàn le tián xiǎo jiàn ， què shì yī fù dī méi shùn mù dì mú yàng tián xiǎo jiàn dàn yǒu suǒ qiú ， wú bù yīng yǔn ， xiǎo xīn yì yì de tǎo tā huān xīn 。
这样的手段，高明之极，在外面嚣张跋扈的魔蛇仙子见了田小剑，却是一副低眉顺目的模样田小剑但有所求，无不应允，小心翼翼的讨他欢心。
Needless to say, it was Lin Xuan himself.
ér liǎng rén xiāng chǔ jiǔ le ， tā duō shǎo yě jiù zhī dào le yī xiē tián xiǎo jiàn de mì mì 。
而两人相处久了，她多少也就知道了一些田小剑的秘密。
Field Little Sword told her that this was the only person he both admired and feared among those at the same cultivation stage. He never submitted to anyone, but Lin Xuan was an exception.
jì de yǒu yī huí ， tā zài tián xiǎo jiàn de dòng fǔ ， jiàn le yī fù huà xiàng 。
记得有一回，她在田小剑的洞府，见了一副画像。
The Demon Snake Fairy was astonished by his words. In her mind, Field Little Sword was almost omnipotent; becoming a Saint Ancestor in time was not impossible. What kind of figure could make him both admire and fear?
bú yòng shuō ， jiù shì lín xuān de huà xiàng 。
不用说，就是林轩的画像。
She did not know because the portrait showed no extraordinary features. Lin Xuan looked too ordinary to be remembered easily.
tián xiǎo jiàn duì tā shuō ， zhè shì tā shēng píng zuì wèi pèi fú ， yě zuì jì dàn de yí gè rén wù ， zài tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě zhōng ， tā cóng bù fú rén ， rán ér zhè lín xuān ， què shì wéi yī de lì wài 。
田小剑对她说，这是他生平最为佩服，也最忌惮的一个人物，在同阶修仙者中，他从不服人，然而这林轩，却是唯一的例外。
But due to Field Little Sword's influence, she had a clear memory of his appearance.
mó shé xiān zi tīng le ， chú le jīng yà hái shì jīng yà ， xiǎo jiàn gē gē zài tā de xīn mù zhōng ， jī hū shì wú suǒ bù néng de cún zài ， jiā yǐ shí rì ， chéng wéi shèng zǔ ， yě bú shì bù kě néng de ， néng ràng tā pèi fú jì dàn de huì shì zěn yàng de rén wù 。
魔蛇仙子听了，除了惊讶还是惊讶，小剑哥哥在她的心目中，几乎是无所不能的存在，加以时日，成为圣祖，也不是不可能的，能让他佩服忌惮的会是怎样的人物。
She also asked Field Little Sword where this person named Lin Xuan was, but he always gave vague answers.
tā bù xiǎo de ， yīn wèi cóng nà fù huà xiàng shàng gēn běn jiù kàn bù chū rèn hé bù fán zhī chù ， lín xuān zhǎng dé tài pǔ tōng le ， gēn běn jiù shì diū jìn rén duī ， mǎ shàng jiù huì bèi yí wàng de nà zhǒng 。
她不晓得，因为从那副画像上根本就看不出任何不凡之处，林轩长得太普通了，根本就是丢进人堆，马上就会被遗忘的那种。
Unexpectedly, fate brought them together here.
bù guò yīn wèi xiǎo jiàn gē gē de yuán gù ， mó shé xiān zi dǎo shì jiāng lín xuān de róng mào jì de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
不过因为小剑哥哥的缘故，魔蛇仙子倒是将林轩的容貌记得清清楚楚。
Although the Demon Snake Fairy was somewhat infatuated with Field Little Sword, she was not unintelligent. From his few words, she could sense envy and hostility towards Lin Xuan.
tā yě céng wèn guò xiǎo jiàn gē gē ， zhè jiào lín xuān de rén zài hé chù ， tián xiǎo jiàn de huí dá ， què zǒng shì yǔ yān bù xiáng de 。
她也曾问过小剑哥哥，这叫林轩的人在何处，田小剑的回答，却总是语焉不详的。
So, her chance had come. If she could extract his soul and spirit essence as a gift for Little Sword Brother, would he treat her better?
wàn wàn méi xiǎng dào ， jī yuán qiǎo hé ， zì jǐ què zài zhè lǐ yù jiàn le 。
万万没想到，机缘巧合，自己却在这里遇见了。
The Demon Snake Fairy's heart was filled with excitement.
duì tián xiǎo jiàn ， mó shé xiān zi suī rán huā chī le yì diǎn ， què yě bìng fēi xiōng dà wú nǎo de rén wù ， cóng xiǎo jiàn gē gē de zhī yán piàn yǔ zhōng ， tā kě yǐ gǎn jué dào duì lín xuān de xiàn mù jí dù ， zǒng zhī ， jué duì shì hán yǒu dí yì de 。
对田小剑，魔蛇仙子虽然花痴了一点，却也并非胸大无脑的人物，从小剑哥哥的只言片语中，她可以感觉到对林轩的羡慕嫉妒，总之，绝对是含有敌意的。
Lin Xuan did not know any of this, but the connection between Field Little Sword and this woman was undeniable.
nà me ， zì jǐ de jī huì jiù lái le ， rú guǒ néng jiāng zhè xìng lín de xiǎo zi chōu hún liàn pò ， zuò wéi lǐ wù zèng sòng gěi xiǎo jiàn gē gē ， tā huì fǒu duì zì jǐ hǎo yì diǎn ne ？
那么，自己的机会就来了，如果能将这姓林的小子抽魂炼魄，作为礼物赠送给小剑哥哥，他会否对自己好一点呢？
Hearing her boast about extracting his soul, Lin Xuan laughed: "You, what are you? Even if Field Little Sword were to come here, he would still call me big brother. Are you too arrogant as a silly girl?"
mó shé xiān zi fāng xīn kě kě ， liǎn shàng quán shì xīng fèn zhī sè 。
魔蛇仙子芳心可可，脸上全是兴奋之色。
Since things had reached this point, there was no turning back for him. He spoke without any reservations.
ér zhè yī qiè ， lín xuān bìng bù xiǎo de ， bù guò cǐ nǚ yǔ tián xiǎo jiàn yǒu guān ， zhè yī qiè què shì kě yǐ kěn dìng de 。
而这一切，林轩并不晓得，不过此女与田小剑有关，这一切却是可以肯定的。
"Die!"
cǐ shí tīng duì fāng dà yán bù cán de shuō ， yào jiāng zì jǐ chōu hún liàn pò ， lín xuān xiào le ：“ nǐ ， suàn gè shén me dōng xī ， jiù suàn shì tián xiǎo jiàn lái dào cǐ chù ， yě yào jiào wǒ yī shēng dà gē ， wú zhī jiàn bì shì bú shì tài kuáng wàng le ？”
此时听对方大言不惭的说，要将自己抽魂炼魄，林轩笑了：“你，算个什么东西，就算是田小剑来到此处，也要叫我一声大哥，无知贱婢是不是太狂妄了？”
The Demon Snake Fairy's expression turned furious. With a flick of her jade hand, the emerald bracelet flew from her wrist and soared through the wind, expanding to hundreds of times its original size before spinning towards Lin Xuan like a ring.
shì qíng fā zhǎn dào zhè yī bù ， fǎn zhèng dōu shì méi yǒu bàn shàn le de ， lín xuān shuō huà ， yě jiù bù zài liú fēn háo de yú dì le 。
事情发展到这一步，反正都是没有办善了的，林轩说话，也就不再留分毫的余地了。
That old man with the scorpion tail had fallen to this mysterious treasure just now. Now, she was repeating the same trick; how would Lin Xuan handle it? She prepared to kill him here.
"What?"
Lin Xuan had already raised his right hand, and the aura of demonic energy was surging from his body. Not only could he control the five elements' essence qi, but if he used the second spirit embryo as the main one, even this overwhelming amount of demonic energy could be easily utilized.
"Ji... Do you know me?"
Although Lin Xuan had already guessed that his identity might have been revealed to this woman, what he was more concerned about was whether she recognized him as a cultivator from the Spirit Realm rather than knowing his name.
Hadn't something gone wrong? He was making his first visit to this world; how could anyone recognize him? Could it be...
The Ice Soul Saint Ancestor!
At the mention of that name, Lin Xuan shivered involuntarily.
Could this woman have heard about me from the Ice Soul?
No, he shook his head. The Ice Soul did indeed know him, but she only knew his surname, Lin. He had not revealed his full name to her, and the Ice Soul was unaware of it; how could this woman know?
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan sighed with relief, though his doubts remained unchanged. Raising his head, he scanned the woman with a cold gaze: "Do you recognize me?"
