hé hóng xuě gū máng shuǐ luò ， nà jǐ shí mó zú nǚ zǐ bā shì huā róng biàn sè 。
何红雪估盲水落，那几石魔族女子巴是花容变色。
He Hongxue estimated that the water droplets had fallen. The few demon women's expressions changed as if they were suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning.
jǐ nǚ què dìng zì jǐ méi yǒu tīng chí ”，…
几女确定自己没有听持”，…
The girls confirmed that they hadn't heard wrong...
lín xuān tā men suī rán bù céng jiàn guò ， rán ér fù hóng xuě de xiū wèi rú hé què shì qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
林轩她们虽然不曾见过，然而付红雪的修为如何却是清清楚楚。
Although Lin Xuan and her companions had never met, He Hongxue’s cultivation level was crystal clear to them. That was the Inner Profound Period senior ancestor of their family; such figures rarely appeared in everyday life.
nà kě shì běn jiā de dòng xuán qī shī zǔ ， děng xián nán dé yī jiàn de 。
那可是本家的洞玄期师祖，等闲难得一见的。
If someone as important as a senior ancestor called this person "senior," it could only mean...
lián tā dōu yào chēng zhī wèi qián bèi de rén ， nán dào shuō ”，…
连她都要称之为前辈的人，难道说”，…
The girls' eyes swept over Lin Xuan's figure, then quickly lowered their heads. If he were truly an Immortal Spirit period old monster, staring at him like that would be too disrespectful.
jǐ nǚ mù guāng zài lín xuān shēn shàng sǎo guò ， suí hòu yòu fēi kuài de dī chuí xià zhēn shǒu ， zhè wèi rú guǒ zhēn shì yī míng fèn shén qī de lǎo guài wù ， rú cǐ dīng zhe tā kàn kě shì tài guò shī lǐ le 。
几女目光在林轩身上扫过，随后又飞快的低垂下臻首，这位如果真是一名分神期的老怪物，如此盯着他看可是太过失礼了。
Should the other party get angry and kill them, they would have no choice but to accept their fate. After all, in such a being’s eyes, the difference between them and ants was negligible. Even if the family had some grudge, it wouldn’t dare offend an old monster of the Immortal Spirit period on their behalf.
duì fāng ruò shì fā nù ， jiāng zì jǐ dǎ shā le yě zhǐ yǒu zì rèn dǎo méi yī shuō ， bì jìng zài zhè zhǒng cún zài de yǎn zhōng ， zì jǐ zhè xiē rén yǔ lóu yǐ de qū bié ， nà yě shì wēi hū qí wēi de ， jiā zú jiù suàn lüè yǒu bù mǎn ， yě bù kě néng wèi zì jǐ zhè xiē rén qù dé zuì yī míng fèn shén qī lǎo guài wù 。
对方若是发怒，将自己打杀了也只有自认倒霉一说，毕竟在这种存在的眼中，自己这些人与蝼蚁的区别，那也是微乎其微的，家族就算略有不满，也不可能为自己这些人去得罪一名分神期老怪物。
In the end, they would just grit their teeth and accept this matter as nothing happened.
zuì hòu de jié guǒ ， kěn dìng shì niē zhe bí zi rèn le cǐ shì ， quán dāng shén me yě méi yǒu fā shēng guò 。
最后的结果，肯定是捏着鼻子认了此事，权当什么也没有发生过。
With these thoughts in mind, none dared to be disrespectful, each lowering her head even more obediently.
zhòng nǚ xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， zì rán bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo shī lǐ zhī chù ， yí gè bǐ yí gè dī méi shùn mù 。
众女心中如此想着，自然不敢有分毫失礼之处，一个比一个低眉顺目。
"Senior disciples, Senior Lin is a distinguished guest of our senior ancestor. He will stay here for the next few days, so you must take good care of him. Whatever requests he has, try your best to fulfill them. If there’s any neglect, my senior ancestor might blame me."
“ zhū wèi shī zhí ， lín qián bèi nǎi shì lǎo zǔ zōng de guì kè ， wèi lái jǐ tiān jiù zhù zài zhè lǐ le ， mí men yào hǎo shēng cì hòu zhe ， bù lùn qián bèi yǒu shén me yāo qiú ， dōu yí dìng yào jǐn liàng mǎn zú ， ruò yǒu fēn háo dài màn zhī chù ， lǎo zǔ zōng guài zuì xià lái ， biàn shì lián wǒ dōu dān dài bù qǐ de 。’’
“诸位师侄，林前辈乃是老祖宗的贵客，未来几天就住在这里了，弥们要好生伺候着，不论前辈有什么要求，都一定要尽量满足，若有分毫怠慢之处，老祖宗怪罪下来，便是连我都担待不起的。’’
He Hongxue swept her gaze over the girls and spoke with a serious expression.
fù hóng xuě mù guāng zài zhū nǚ shēn shàng sǎo guò ， biǎo qíng shí fēn yán sù de kāi kǒu le 。
付红雪目光在诸女身上扫过，表情十分严肃的开口了。
"Yes, Senior Ancestor."
“ shì ， shī zǔ 。’’
“是，师祖。’’
The girls curtsied gracefully; even if they had a thousand fears, they would never be disrespectful after confirming Lin Xuan's cultivation level.
zhòng nǚ yíng yíng yī fú ， zài què dìng lín xuān de xiū wèi yǐ hòu ， jiè tā men yī wàn gè dǎn zi ， yě jué bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo dài màn de 。
众女盈盈一福，在确定林轩的修为以后，借她们一万个胆子，也绝不敢有分毫怠慢的。
"Senior, for these next three days, I apologize for any inconvenience. If you find one of these maidservants suitable, please let her attend to your needs. Of course, if you need more, you can choose all of them."
“ qián bèi ， wèi lái sān tiān zhù zài cǐ chù ， wěi qū nín le ， zhè jǐ míng shì nǚ ， nín kàn shuí bǐ jiào shùn yǎn ， jiù ràng tā tiē shēn fú shì hǎo le ， dāng rán ， ruò shì yí gè shǐ huàn yā tou bù gòu ， quán xuǎn yě shì kě yǐ de 。’’
“前辈，未来三天住在此处，委屈您了，这几名侍女，您看谁比较顺眼，就让她贴身服侍好了，当然，若是一个使唤丫头不够，全选也是可以的。’’
He Hongxue turned around, and the solemn expression on her face vanished, replaced by a flattering smile.
fù hóng xuě zhuǎn guò tóu ， liǎn shàng yán sù de biǎo qíng xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì xiàn mèi de xiào róng 。
付红雪转过头，脸上严肃的表情消失得无影无踪，取而代之的是献媚的笑容。
"I don’t need anyone to serve me; I’m used to being alone," Lin Xuan said coolly.
“ bù yòng ， lín mǒu yí xiàng dú lái dú wǎng guàn le ， gēn běn jiù bù xū yào rén fú shì de 。’’
“不用，林某一向独来独往惯了，根本就不需要人服侍的。’’
"Very well... If there’s anything else you require, please let me know. Don’t hesitate."
“ zhè ……’’
“这……’’
"No, if Lady Fairy has any matters, just do as you wish."
fù hóng xuě xiān shì yī dāi ’ suí hòu lù chū yóu zhōng de xiào róng lái ：“ nà yě méi yǒu guān xì ’ suí qián bèi yuàn yì ， bù zhī dào nín hái yǒu shén me fēn fù ， huò zhě xū yào de ， qǐng jǐn guǎn shuō ， yí dìng bú yào kè qì 。，’
付红雪先是一呆’随后露出由衷的笑容来：“那也没有关系’随前辈愿意，不知道您还有什么吩咐，或者需要的，请尽管说，一定不要客气。，’
"Then I bid farewell."
“ méi yǒu ， xiān zi ruò yào shì ， zì biàn jiù shì 。’’
“没有，仙子若要事，自便就是。’’
He Hongxue's expression remained calm as she bowed to Lin Xuan and left.
“ nà qiè shēn jiù cǐ gào cí 。’’
“那妾身就此告辞。’’
Lin Xuan turned around and found the few beautiful demon women standing obediently in their places. Although he didn’t need maidservants, they wouldn't dare move without his command.
fù hóng xuě liǎn shàng bìng wú yì sè ， chōng zhe lín xuān yíng yíng yī fú ， suí hòu jiù lí kāi le cǐ chù 。
付红雪脸上并无异色，冲着林轩盈盈一拂，随后就离开了此处。
"Alright, hand over the key to this pavilion’sprohibition, and we can leave," Lin Xuan said indifferently.
lín xuān huí guò tóu ， fā xiàn nà jǐ míng róng yán xiù lì de mó nǚ zhèng dī méi shùn mù dì zhàn zài yuán dì ， lín xuān suī shuō bú yào shì nǚ ， dàn jì rán méi yǒu fēn fù ， tā men yòu nǎ lǐ gǎn hú luàn zǒu dòng ne ？
林轩回过头，发现那几名容颜秀丽的魔女正低眉顺目的站在原地，林轩虽说不要侍女，但既然没有吩咐，她们又哪里敢胡乱走动呢？
"Yes!"
“ xíng le ， jiāng zhè lóu gé de jìn zhì lìng pái gěi wǒ ， mí men jiù kě yǐ lí kāi le 。’’ lín xuān dàn dàn de shuō 。
“行了，将这楼阁的禁制令牌给我，弥们就可以离开了。’’林轩淡淡的说。
The girls exchanged glances but quickly stepped forward. The slender woman in front extended her hand, and a jade-like bone tablet flew out. She held it high above her head and presented it to Lin Xuan just a few inches away from him.
“ shì ！’’
“是！’’
Lin Xuan didn’t hesitate and grabbed it.
jǐ nǚ xiān shì miàn miàn xiāng qù ， dàn hěn kuài ， zhàn zài zuì qián miàn ， nà shēn cái xiū cháng de nǚ zǐ jiù tà qián yī bù ， yù shǒu yī fú ， yī kuài wēn rùn rú yù de gǔ pái fēi lüè ér chū ， cǐ nǚ shuāng shǒu pěng zhe ， gāo jǔ guò dǐng ， fèng dào le lín xuān shēn qián shù cùn zhī chù 。
几女先是面面相觑，但很快，站在最前面，那身材修长的女子就踏前一步，玉手一拂，一块温润如玉的骨牌飞掠而出，此女双手捧着，高举过顶，奉到了林轩身前数寸之处。
He then injected some demonic energy into the tablet and gently shook it. A black light shot out, and the spatial fluctuations covered theprohibition around the pavilion. Once theprohibition was lifted, he stepped inside.
lín xuān zì rán bú huì chí yí ， yī bǎ zhuā zài le shǒu lǐ 。
林轩自然不会迟疑，一把抓在了手里。
"Senior Sister, are we really leaving?"
suí hòu lín xuān lüè wēi zhù rù yì diǎn mó qì ， qīng qīng yī huǎng ， cóng lǐ miàn fēi chū yī dào hēi máng ， kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， fù gài zài gé lóu zhōu wéi de yī céng yǒu zhì wú xíng de jìn zhì yǐ bèi jiě qù ， suí hòu lín xuān dà bù zǒu jìn le gé lóu lǐ 。
随后林轩略微注入一点魔气，轻轻一晃，从里面飞出一道黑芒，空间波动骤起，覆盖在阁楼周围的一层有质无形的禁制已被解去，随后林轩大步走进了阁楼里。
"Yes, if our service wasn’t satisfactory, will Senior Ancestor be angry?"
“ biǎo jiě ， nán dào wǒ men jiù zhēn zhè yàng lí kāi cǐ chù ？’’
“表姐，难道我们就真这样离开此处？’’
The door creaked as Lin Xuan’s figure was blocked by it. The girls no longer acted so reserved; they surrounded the slender woman, who was clearly their leader in terms of both appearance and cultivation.
“ shì a ， rú cǐ shì fèng bù zhōu ， shī zǔ zhī dào le ， huì bú huì chǔ fá ？’’
“是啊，如此侍奉不周，师祖知道了，会不会处罚？’’
"Don't worry, this is your senior's choice. My senior ancestor shouldn’t blame us," she said with a frown but a pleasant voice.
zhī ya yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān de bèi yǐng yǐ bèi guān shàng de dà mén gěi dǎng zhù ， jǐ nǚ bù zài nà me jīn chí ， fēn fēn wéi zhù nà shēn cái xiū cháng de nǚ zǐ ， tā bù lùn róng mào xiū wèi jiē guān jué zhū nǚ ， xiǎn rán yě shì tā men zhōng de zhǔ shì zhě 。
吱呀一声传入耳朵，林轩的背影已被关上的大门给挡住，几女不再那么矜持，纷纷围住那身材修长的女子，她不论容貌修为皆冠绝诸女，显然也是她们中的主事者。
"But we should still be more respectful," she continued. "Second Sister, please prepare some tea for me. The rest of you, go to the kitchen and the orchard at the back to get some fine fruits and wine to serve our senior."
“ fàng xīn ， zhè shì qián bèi zì jǐ de xuǎn zé ， shī zǔ yīng gāi bú huì guài zuì 。，’
“放心，这是前辈自己的选择，师祖应该不会怪罪。，’
"Understood."
nà nǚ zǐ dài méi wēi pín ， hǎo tīng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ bù guò dà jiā yě bú yào zhēn de jiù tài guò dài màn le ， èr mèi ， mí yī huì er qù zhǔn bèi xiāng míng ， hái yǒu chēng men jǐ gè ， qù chú fáng hái yǒu hòu miàn de guǒ yuán zhǔn bèi yī xiē shàng hǎo de měi jiǔ guā guǒ ， gěi qián bèi sòng guò qù 。，’
那女子黛眉微颦，好听的声音传入耳朵：“不过大家也不要真的就太过怠慢了，二妹，弥一会儿去准备香茗，还有称们几个，去厨房还有后面的果园准备一些上好的美酒瓜果，给前辈送过去。，’
The girls nodded and went off to do their tasks.
“ zhī dào le 。’’
“知道了。’’
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan entered the bedroom inside the pavilion. The environment was quite pleasant; it far surpassed his previous accommodations. This place was specifically used for hosting distinguished guests, so its quality was incomparable to a regular inn.
jǐ nǚ diǎn diǎn tóu ， suí hòu jiù gè zì qù máng le 。
几女点点头，随后就各自去忙了。
Although Lin Xuan didn’t care about comfort, he nodded in satisfaction.
zài shuō lín xuān ， jìn rù le lóu gé ， lǐ miàn de huán jìng jí shì bù cuò ， zhì shǎo bǐ qián jǐ tiān zū lìn de hǎo shàng tài duō tài duō ， bì jìng zhè ér shì fù jiā yòng lái zhuān mén zhāo dài guì kè ， huán jìng yǔ yì bān de yì guǎn xiāng bǐ ， nà dāng rán shì bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
再说林轩，进入了楼阁，里面的环境极是不错，至少比前几天租赁的好上太多太多，毕竟这儿是付家用来专门招待贵客，环境与一般的驿馆相比，那当然是不可同日而语。
He went straight to the bed, which was carved from sandalwood and exuded an ancient charm. He lay down on it, feeling how soft and comfortable it was. It had been too long since he last rested properly.
lín xuān suī rán bù zài hū xiǎng shòu ， dàn yě mǎn yì de diǎn le diǎn tóu 。
林轩虽然不在乎享受，但也满意的点了点头。
Now, he needed to relax. Lin Xuan couldn’t meditate here but decided to rest a bit to recover his best state.
zhí jiē lái dào wò fáng ， chén shè nà jiào yí gè gǔ sè gǔ xiāng ， xiǎng bì fán jiān dì wáng de qǐn gōng yě bù guò rú cǐ ， lín xuān zhí jiē dào zài le nà zhāng yòng tán xiāng mù diāo kè ér chéng de chuáng shàng 。
直接来到卧房，陈设那叫一个古色古香，想必凡间帝王的寝宫也不过如此，林轩直接倒在了那张用檀香木雕刻而成的床上。
This trip to White Float City went much smoother than expected. Initially, he only wanted to exchange some powerful talismans, but the quantity exceeded expectations, and he also obtained three spirit talismans: the Reviving Talisman, the Perfect Substitute for Tribulation Talisman, and the Random Teleportation Talisman.
bèi rù hěn ruǎn ， yě hěn shū fú ， shuō qǐ lái ， zì jǐ yǐ jīng hǎo jiǔ méi yǒu hǎo hǎo de xiū xī guò 。
被褥很软，也很舒服，说起来，自己已经好久没有好好的休息过。
These three treasures had different functions and purposes, but they could all save him in critical moments. With this unexpected gain, his journey to Medicine King Valley became much safer. As long as he didn’t run into the Ancient Demon Sage’s true form, Lin Xuan believed that no existence could harm him.
rú jīn zé yào hǎo hǎo de fàng sōng fàng sōng ， lín xuān dāng rán bù kě néng zài zhè lǐ dǎ zuò ， zhèng hǎo xiē xī yī xià ràng zì jǐ huī fù dào zuì jiā zhuàng tài lái zhe 。
如今则要好好的放松放松，林轩当然不可能在这里打坐，正好歇息一下让自己恢复到最佳状态来着。
His mood lifted; it seemed like fate was on his side. Perhaps he wouldn’t need two hundred years and could advance to the Immortal Spirit period in the demon realm.
zhè cì bái fú chéng zhī xíng bǐ xiǎng xiàng de yào shùn lì xǔ duō 。
这次白浮城之行比想象的要顺利许多。
Lin Xuan thought thusly.
yuán běn zhǐ shì xiǎng yào duì huàn yī xiē wēi lì bù cuò de fú lù ， jié guǒ bù jǐn shù liàng chāo guò le yù jì 。
原本只是想要兑换一些威力不错的符箓，结果不仅数量超过了预计。
Of course, if he could get a thousand-year stone stalactite, it would be even more secure, but that depended on what happened over the next three days.
ér qiě hái dé dào le sān dà líng fú 。
而且还得到了三大灵符。
Before then, Lin Xuan needed to prepare himself. After all, talking with the head of the He family and an old monster of the Immortal Spirit period was no small matter, especially in someone else’s territory; he couldn’t afford any carelessness.
qǐ sǐ huí shēng fú ， wán měi tì jié fú ， suí jī chuán sòng fú 。
起死回生符，完美替劫符，随机传送符。
Suddenly, his expression changed as a light halo emerged from the bone tablet controlling theprohibition. A few moments later, faint footsteps could be heard, but they stopped at the door.
zhè yā zhòu pāi mài de sān jiàn bǎo wù ， gōng néng suī rán gè bù xiāng tóng ， yǒu zì jǐ de cè zhòng ， dàn zài guān jiàn shí kè ， dōu shì néng gòu jiù mìng de ， yǒu le zhè yì wài shōu huò ， yào wáng gǔ zhī xíng wěn tuǒ le xǔ duō ， zhǐ yào bù yī tóu zhuàng shàng gǔ mó shèng zǔ de běn tǐ ， lín xuān xiāng xìn ， yǐ méi yǒu shén me cún zài néng gòu liú xià zì jǐ 。
这压轴拍卖的三件宝物，功能虽然各不相同，有自己的侧重，但在关键时刻，都是能够救命的，有了这意外收获，药王谷之行稳妥了许多，只要不一头撞上古魔圣祖的本体，林轩相信，已没有什么存在能够留下自己。
Clearly, she was waiting for him to give instructions.
xīn qíng dà hǎo ， kàn lái lǎo tiān yé yě zhàn zài zì jǐ yī biān ， yě xǔ gēn běn bù xū yào liǎng bǎi nián ， zài mó jiè zì jǐ jiù kě yǐ jìn jiē dào fēn shén qī 。
心情大好，看来老天爷也站在自己一边，也许根本不需要两百年，在魔界自己就可以进阶到分神期。
"Didn't I say no need for service?"
lín xuān rú cǐ zhè bān de xiǎng zhe 。
林轩如此这般的想着。
"Senior, please forgive me. We didn’t disregard your orders; we brought some wine and fruits for you to taste," a young woman replied.
dāng rán ， rú guǒ néng gòu huàn dào qiān nián shí zhōng rǔ jiù gèng yǒu bǎ wò ， bù guò zhè jiù yào kàn sān tiān yǐ hòu de qíng kuàng le 。
当然，如果能够换到千年石钟乳就更有把握，不过这就要看三天以后的情况了。
"Oh?"
zài zhè zhī qián ， lín xuān yào yǎng jīng xù ruì ， bì jìng yǔ tā miàn tán kě shì fù jiā lǎo zǔ ， fēn shén qī lǎo guài wù ， yòu shì zài bié rén de dì pán shàng ， róng bù dé fēn háo de mǎ hǔ 。
在这之前，林轩要养精蓄锐，毕竟与他面谈可是付家老祖，分神期老怪物，又是在别人的地盘上，容不得分毫的马虎。
Lin Xuan was surprised but quickly understood. Unlike human cultivators, ancient demons could also practice cultivation without eating, but many of these demon creatures enjoyed food and drink, often indulging in feasts. Therefore, the girls' behavior wasn’t surprising.
tū rán ， lín xuān shén sè yī dòng ， suí hòu xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào guāng yùn cóng nà cāo zòng jìn zhì de gǔ pái zhōng fēi lüè ér chū ， guò le piàn kè ， xì suì de jiǎo bù shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dào mén kǒu de shí hòu ， què tíng xià le 。
突然，林轩神色一动，随后袖袍一拂，一道光晕从那操纵禁制的骨牌中飞掠而出，过了片刻，细碎的脚步声传入耳朵，到门口的时候，却停下了。
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness; come in."
xiǎn rán shì zài děng tā fēn fù 。
显然是在等他吩咐。
He Hongxue’s calm voice echoed. Although he didn’t have an appetite like ancient demons, he still appreciated good food. Since they had brought it to his doorstep, there was no need to be overly formal and ask them to carry it back.
“ lín mǒu bú shì shuō le ， bù xū yào rén cì hòu me ？’’
“林某不是说了，不需要人伺候么？’’
Postscript: The baby has a cold and went to the hospital today, so the update is late. I apologize but will make up for it with more content in the next chapter. Fantuyu will start typing immediately.
He Hongxue estimated that the water droplets had fallen. The few demon women's expressions changed as if they were suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning.
"Senior?"
The girls confirmed that they hadn't heard wrong...
Although Lin Xuan and her companions had never met, He Hongxue’s cultivation level was crystal clear to them. That was the Inner Profound Period senior ancestor of their family; such figures rarely appeared in everyday life.
If someone as important as a senior ancestor called this person "senior," it could only mean...
The girls' eyes swept over Lin Xuan's figure, then quickly lowered their heads. If he were truly an Immortal Spirit period old monster, staring at him like that would be too disrespectful.
Should the other party get angry and kill them, they would have no choice but to accept their fate. After all, in such a being’s eyes, the difference between them and ants was negligible. Even if the family had some grudge, it wouldn’t dare offend an old monster of the Immortal Spirit period on their behalf.
In the end, they would just grit their teeth and accept this matter as nothing happened.

He Hongxue swept her gaze over the girls and spoke with a serious expression.
"Yes, Senior Ancestor."
The girls curtsied gracefully; even if they had a thousand fears, they would never be disrespectful after confirming Lin Xuan's cultivation level.
"Senior, for these next three days, I apologize for any inconvenience. If you find one of these maidservants suitable, please let her attend to your needs. Of course, if you need more, you can choose all of them."
He Hongxue turned around, and the solemn expression on her face vanished, replaced by a flattering smile.

"Very well... If there’s anything else you require, please let me know. Don’t hesitate."
"No, if Lady Fairy has any matters, just do as you wish."
"Then I bid farewell."
He Hongxue's expression remained calm as she bowed to Lin Xuan and left.
Lin Xuan turned around and found the few beautiful demon women standing obediently in their places. Although he didn’t need maidservants, they wouldn't dare move without his command.
"Alright, hand over the key to this pavilion’sprohibition, and we can leave," Lin Xuan said indifferently.
