第两千四百九十六章金乌后裔
Chapter 2496: Golden Solar Bird Descendant
bì jìng rú jīn de tā ， yǐ bú shì dāng nián wú yōu wú lǜ de xiǎo xuě hú ， ér shì jiān fù zhe yī zú xīng shuāi de gōng zhǔ 。 běn zhāng yóu wǎng yǒu wèi nín tí gōng gēng xīn ]
毕竟如今的她，已不是当年无忧无虑的小雪狐，而是肩负着一族兴衰的公主。本章由网友为您提供更新]
Finally, she was no longer the carefree little snow fox of old. She had become a princess bearing the weight of her clan's prosperity and decline.
bù guò zhè kàn shì jiān nán de jué zé ， xiāng ér què jǐn yòng le jǐ xī de gōng fu jiù ná dìng zhù yì le 。
不过这看似艰难的抉择，香儿却仅用了几息的功夫就拿定注意了。
However, this seemingly difficult choice took Shang'er only a few breaths to decide upon.
xiù páo yī fú ， yī chóu dài mú yàng de bǎo wù fēi lüè ér chū 。
袖袍一拂，一绸带模样的宝物飞掠而出。
With a wave of her sleeve, a ribbon-like treasure flew out.
xiāng ér yī jiù shì bàn zài lín xuān de shēn cè 。
香儿依旧是伴在林轩的身侧。
Shang'er remained by Lin Xuan’s side.
huò xǔ ， tā xū yào kǎo lǜ de dōng xī hěn duō ， rán ér zěn me néng yīn wèi yī xiē gù jì jiù zhì dà kuài tóu yú bù gù 。
或许，她需要考虑的东西很多，然而怎么能因为一些顾忌就置大块头于不顾。
Perhaps she needed to consider many things. But could she really ignore the big guy just because of some concerns?
nà yàng ， duì xuě hú zú lái shuō ， huò xǔ shì zuì jiā xuǎn zé ， dàn xiāng ér zì jǐ ， què huì liáng xīn bù ān de 。
那样，对雪狐族来说，或许是最佳选择，但香儿自己，却会良心不安的。
That would be the best choice for the Snow Fox Clan, but Shang'er herself would feel guilty about it.
hé kuàng ， yī wū bù sǎo ， hé yǐ sǎo tiān xià ， ruò shì lián zì jǐ qīn jìn zhī rén dōu bǎo bú zhù ， yòu zěn me néng ràng xuě hú yī zú chāng shèng wú yōu ne ？
何况，一屋不扫，何以扫天下，若是连自己亲近之人都保不住，又怎么能让雪狐一族昌盛无忧呢？
After all, one cannot clean the world if they can't even sweep their own house. How could she ensure the prosperity and safety of the Snow Fox Clan if she couldn’t protect those close to her?
xiāng ér suī shì nǚ zǐ ， rán ér zhè shí hòu biǎo xiàn chū lái de háo mài dà qì ， què shì jīn guó bù ràng xū méi de 。
香儿虽是女子，然而这时候表现出来的豪迈大气，却是巾帼不让须眉的。
Despite being a woman, Shang'er displayed an impressive and bold demeanor at this moment—no less than any man.
lín xuān liǎn shàng bù dòng shēng sè， rán ér xīn zhōng què yě shì yǒu jǐ fēn xīn wèi de 。
林轩脸上不动声sè，然而心中却也是有几分欣慰的。
Lin Xuan’s face remained calm, but he felt a sense of relief in his heart. He hadn't made a mistake.
zì jǐ méi yǒu kàn cuò 。
自己没有看错。
Even with just one person against three妖族, he might not necessarily lose, but Shang'er's choice warmed his heart.
suī rán yǐ tā yī rén zhī lì ， duì shàng sān míng yāo zú ， yě wèi bì huì shū ， dàn xiāng ér zhè yàng de xuǎn zé ， hái shì ràng tā xīn zhōng nuǎn nuǎn de 。
虽然以他一人之力，对上三名妖族，也未必会输，但香儿这样的选择，还是让他心中暖暖的。
As the great battle was about to erupt, suddenly, a streak of light appeared from afar, speeding towards them like an arrow.
yǎn kàn dà zhàn yǐ dào yī chù jí fā jī fā de dì bù ， yuǎn chù ， tū rán yòu liàng qǐ le yī dào jīng hóng ， fēng chí diàn chè ， xiàng zhè biān fēi lái le 。
眼看大战已到一触即发jī发的地步，远处，突然又亮起了一道惊虹，风驰电掣，像这边飞来了。
A voice rang out: "Brother Ice Bear, Princess Shang'er, don't fight. What’s going on? Why are you fighting among yourselves?"
tóng shí ， yī yōu rán de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ bīng xióng xián dì ， xiāng ér gōng zhǔ ， qiè mò dòng shǒu ， nǐ men zhè shì zěn me le ， zì jǐ rén wéi hé nào dào zhè bān zì xiāng cán shā de dì bù 。”
同时，一悠然的声音传入耳朵：“冰熊贤弟，香儿公主，切莫动手，你们这是怎么了，自己人为何闹到这般自相残杀的地步。”
This voice was completely unfamiliar to Lin Xuan, but it was very familiar to both Shang'er and the three妖族. With a frown, they indeed paused.
zhè shēng yīn duì lín xuān lái shuō shì mò shēng yǐ jí ， rán ér jiù xiāng ér yǔ nà sān míng yāo zú lái shuō ， què shì zài shú xī bù guò ， méi tou yí zhòu ， guǒ rán zàn qiě tíng xià lái le 。
这声音对林轩来说是陌生以极，然而就香儿与那三名妖族来说，却是再熟悉不过，眉头一皱，果然暂且停下来了。
Lin Xuan said nothing, his eyes narrowing as he looked towards the source of the voice.
lín xuān jiàn le ， yě méi yǒu shuō shén me ， ér shì yǎn jīng wēi mī ， xiàng nà shēng yīn chuán lái de dì fāng wàng qù 。
林轩见了，也没有说什么，而是眼睛微眯，像那声音传来的地方望去。
Soon, the streak of light approached them, gradually becoming clearer.
hěn kuài ， nà jīng hóng jiù yóu yuǎn jí jìn ， zhú jiàn qīng xī 。
很快，那惊虹就由远及近，逐渐清晰。
Then, the light dimmed, stopping between the two sides. A white-robed elder with well-proportioned features stood there, but for some reason, they seemed sneaky and shifty when together.
suí hòu guāng máng yī liǎn ， zài shuāng fāng de zhōng jiān tíng le xià lái ， shēn chuān bái páo de lǎo zhě ， wǔ guān dōu shēng dé bù cuò ， rán ér bù zhī wèi hé ， còu zài yì qǐ ， què gěi rén yī zhǒng zéi méi shǔ yǎn de gǎn jué 。
随后光芒一敛，在双方的中间停了下来，身穿白袍的老者，五官都生得不错，然而不知为何，凑在一起，却给人一种贼眉鼠眼的感觉。
But one could not judge a person by their appearance.
bù guò wěi suǒ guī wěi suǒ ， rén què shì bù kě mào xiàng de 。
不过猥琐归猥琐，人却是不可貌相的。
King Frost Rat!
hán shǔ wáng ！
寒鼠王！
A Great Successor-stage妖族!
fēn shén qī dà chéng de yāo zú ！
分神期大成的妖族！
His strength was formidable—perhaps even the most powerful among the three kings.
tā de shí lì ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō shì sān wáng zhōng zuì biāo hàn de yí gè 。
他的实力，甚至可以说是三王中最彪悍的一个。
Unlike the clumsy yet brave Multi-Arm Bear, King Frost Rat was not only strong but also cunning and intelligent.
ér qiě yǔ yǒng měng dàn chǔn bèn de duō bì xióng bù tóng ， hán shǔ wáng bù jǐn shí lì chū zhòng ， ér qiě shì jiǎo huá duō zhì de 。
而且与勇猛但蠢笨的多臂熊不同，寒鼠王不仅实力出众，而且是狡猾多智的。
Shang'er didn't dare to be too rude: "Lady Shang'er pays her respects to King Frost Rat."
xiāng ér miàn duì tā yě bù gǎn tài guò wú lǐ ， yíng yíng yī fú ：“ xiǎo nǚ zǐ jiàn guò hán shǔ wáng le 。”
香儿面对他也不敢太过无礼，盈盈一福：“小女子见过寒鼠王了。”
The Multi-Arm Bear called him brother affectionately: "Brother."
ér duō bì xióng de chēng hū gèng wéi qīn rè ：“ dà gē 。”
而多臂熊的称呼更为亲热：“大哥。”
"Princess, there's no need for such formalities."
“ xiǎo gōng zhǔ bù bì duō lǐ 。”
“小公主不必多礼。”
King Frost Rat couldn’t accept Shang'er’s bow either. He slightly turned his body and then looked back: "Brother Ice Bear, what are you doing? Why are you fighting with Princess Shang'er?"
hán shǔ wáng què yě bù gǎn zhēn shòu xiāng ér zhè yī lǐ ， wēi wēi cè guò shēn tǐ ， suí hòu yòu zhuǎn guò tóu lú ：“ bīng xióng xián dì ， nǐ zhè shì gàn má ， zěn me yǔ xiāng ér gōng zhǔ dòng qǐ shǒu lái le ？”
寒鼠王却也不敢真受香儿这一礼，微微侧过身体，随后又转过头颅：“冰熊贤弟，你这是干嘛，怎么与香儿公主动起手来了？”
King Frost Rat was genuinely surprised. This Ice Bear guy had been infatuated with the Snow Fox princess.
hán shǔ wáng shì zhēn de yǒu xiē chà yì ， bì jìng bīng xióng zhè jiā huo miàn duì xuě hú xiǎo gōng zhǔ zhěng gè jiù yī huā chī 。
寒鼠王是真的有些诧异，毕竟冰熊这家伙面对雪狐小公主整个就一huā痴。
Could it be related to that stranger?
nán dào shì yǔ nà mò shēng de nán zi yǒu guān xì ？
难道是与那陌生的男子有关系？
Jealousy over a rival would certainly come to mind first, but the stranger’s appearance wasn’t remarkable. A proud and haughty Snow Fox princess wouldn't have such low standards for her gaze.
zhēng fēng chī cù ， zhè wú yí shì zuì róng yì ràng rén xiǎng dào de ， kě nà mò shēng nán zi de róng mào yì diǎn yě bù chū qí ， xīn gāo qì ào de xuě hú gōng zhǔ yǎn guāng yīng gāi bú huì zhè me dī 。
争风吃醋，这无疑是最容易让人想到的，可那陌生男子的容貌一点也不出奇，心高气傲的雪狐公主眼光应该不会这么低。
King Frost Rat was puzzled inside, but he had to ask out loud.
hán shǔ wáng xīn zhōng yí huò， biǎo miàn shàng ， dāng rán yě shì yào kāi kǒu xún wèn le 。
寒鼠王心中疑huò，表面上，当然也是要开口询问了。
The Multi-Arm Bear didn’t hide either. He explained the entire situation straightforwardly without adding unnecessary details in front of the main parties involved.
duō bì xióng dāng rán yě méi yǒu yǐn mán de yì tú ， dāng zhe zhèng zhǔ ér tóng yàng bù hǎo yì sī tiān yóu jiā cù ， yú shì yǒu yī shuō yī ， jiāng shuāng fāng zhēng dòu de lái lóng qù mài jiǎng qīng chǔ 。
多臂熊当然也没有隐瞒的意图，当着正主儿同样不好意思添油加醋，于是有一说一，将双方争斗的来龙去脉讲清楚。
Since someone else was handling it, Shang'er naturally didn't speak up. She and King Frost Rat were essentially on the same side; as a princess, she understood this clearly.
jì rán yǒu rén dài láo ， xiāng ér dāng rán bú huì duō kǒu ， hé jīn kuàng hán shǔ yǔ bīng xióng gēn běn jiù shì yī qiū zhī hé ， zhè yì diǎn ， xiǎo gōng zhǔ yòu qǐ huì xīn zhōng bù qīng chǔ 。
既然有人代劳，香儿当然不会多口，和金矿寒鼠与冰熊根本就是一丘之貉，这一点，小公主又岂会心中不清楚。
If not for her inferior strength, she wouldn’t be watching their expressions now.
ruò fēi zì jǐ shí lì bù jí ， yòu qǐ huì zài zhè lǐ kàn tā men de liǎn sè。
若非自己实力不及，又岂会在这里看他们的脸sè。
But to save the Snow Fox Clan, she had no choice but to play along.
bù guò xiàn zài wèi le xuě hú yī zú ， què bù dé bù xū yǔ wēi yí 。
不过现在为了雪狐一族，却不得不虚与委蛇。
As for Lin Xuan, he cared less. A cold smile played on his lips as if watching two clowns perform.
zhì yú lín xuān ， jiù gèng bù zài hū ， zuǐ jiǎo biān dài zhe yī sī lěng cháo zhī sè， jiù fǎng fú zài kàn liǎng gè xiǎo chǒu biǎo yǎn shì de 。
至于林轩，就更不在乎，嘴角边带着一丝冷嘲之sè，就仿佛在看两个小丑表演似的。
However, King Frost Rat was indeed much stronger than Multi-Arm Bear.
zhǐ bù guò zhè hán shǔ wáng ， què shí bǐ duō bì xióng qiáng le xǔ duō 。
只不过这寒鼠王，确实比多臂熊强了许多。
Even with Shang'er’s help, Lin Xuan didn’t have full confidence in victory against four opponents. Moreover, even if they won, it wasn't guaranteed that the other party wouldn’t escape. With many high-ranking妖修in the Frosty Soul Ice Plain, unexpected trouble could arise during their fight.
tóng shí duì shàng sì míng yāo zú ， suī yǒu xiāng ér xiāng zhù ， lín xuān yě bù gǎn shuō yǒu bì shèng de bǎ wò ， hé kuàng jí biàn néng yíng ， yě nán bǎo duì fāng bú huì táo tuō ， hé kuàng hán pò bīng yuán gāo jiē yāo xiū zhòng duō ， wàn yī zhēng dòu tú zhōng ， yòu yǒu yāo wù gǎn dào cǐ chù ， kě jiù yǒu xiē má fán le 。
同时对上四名妖族，虽有香儿相助，林轩也不敢说有必胜的把握，何况即便能赢，也难保对方不会逃脱，何况寒魄冰原高阶妖修众多，万一争斗途中，又有妖物赶到此处，可就有些麻烦了。
Lin Xuan remained calm on the surface but was internally assessing the situation and comparing both sides’ strengths. He would act only after careful consideration. He always thought thrice before acting.
lín xuān biǎo miàn bù dòng shēng sè， rán ér nèi xīn shēn chù ， què zài héng liáng zhe xíng shì ， yǐ jí shuāng fāng shí lì de duì bǐ ， móu dìng ér hòu dòng ， ruò méi yǒu shí zú de bǎ wò ， lín xuān zuò shì qíng ， xiàng lái shì sān sī ér hòu xíng de 。
林轩表面不动声sè，然而内心深处，却在衡量着形势，以及双方实力的对比，谋定而后动，若没有十足的把握，林轩做事情，向来是三思而后行的。
Both parties had their own plans and reservations. In a short while, half a cup of tea passed.
shuāng fāng hù yǒu dǎ suàn ， yě hù yǒu gù jì ， hěn kuài ， bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu guò qù 。
双方互有打算，也互有顾忌，很快，半盏茶的功夫过去。
The Multi-Arm Bear finished explaining everything. King Frost Rat’s hearty laughter echoed: "I thought it was something big. It's just a misunderstanding. Brother Ice Bear, Princess Shang'er, for my sake, don’t hold grudges. After all, we are all妖族living in the Frosty Soul Ice Plain. We see each other every day. Why fight over trivial matters and hurt our harmony?"
duō bì xióng yǐ jiǎng wán le shì qíng de shǐ mò ， hán shǔ wáng shuǎng lǎng de xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ wǒ dāng shì duō dà de shì ne ， yuán lái shì wù huì ér yǐ ， xióng xián dì ， xiāng ér gōng zhǔ ， kàn wǒ de miàn zi ， dōu bú yào jì jiào le ， bì jìng dà jiā tóng wèi yāo zú ， qiě shēng huó zài hán pò bīng yuán ， dī tóu bú jiàn tái tóu jiàn ， yòu hé bì wèi xiē xǔ xiǎo shì ， ér hù xiāng shāng le hé qì ne ？
多臂熊已讲完了事情的始末，寒鼠王爽朗的笑声传入耳朵：“我当是多大的事呢，原来是误会而已，熊贤弟，香儿公主，看我的面子，都不要计较了，毕竟大家同为妖族，且生活在寒魄冰原，低头不见抬头见，又何必为些许小事，而互相伤了和气呢？
This was indeed reasonable.
zhè fān huà ， dào yě shì hé qíng hé lǐ de 。
这番话，倒也是合情合理的。
The Multi-Arm Bear didn't want to fight Princess Shang'er either. Besides, he always followed King Frost Rat’s lead, so he couldn’t oppose him.
duō bì xióng suī yǒu xiē bù yuàn ， dàn yī lái ， tā què rán bù yuàn yì yǔ xiāng ér gōng zhǔ bīng róng xiāng jiàn ， èr lái ， píng shí jiù wéi hán shǔ wáng mǎ shǒu shì zhān ， xí guàn chéng zì rán ， zì rán shuō bù chū fǎn duì de yì jiàn 。
多臂熊虽有些不愿，但一来，他确然不愿意与香儿公主兵戎相见，二来，平时就唯寒鼠王马首是瞻，习惯成自然，自然说不出反对的意见。
As for Princess Shang'er, she had already turned against the Ice Bear clan—this was a bad strategy. Now that someone was mediating, it was better to take this opportunity.
zhì yú xiāng ér gōng zhǔ ， yǔ bīng xióng yī zú jiāo wù dào rú cǐ dì bù ， běn jiù shì xià xià cè ， rú jīn jì yǒu rén zuò hé shì lǎo ， dāng rán yě jiù jiè pō xià lǘ 。
至于香儿公主，与冰熊一族交恶到如此地步，本就是下下策，如今既有人做和事老，当然也就借坡下驴。
"By the way, this friend of yours has such formidable strength but looks unfamiliar. You’re not from our Frosty Soul Ice Plain, right? Could you tell us your origins?" King Frost Rat turned and scanned Lin Xuan, his doubts evident. A mere Successor-stage妖族could pressure Multi-Arm Bear to such an extent; it wasn’t just the treasure. He must have some extraordinary abilities. Could he be a great celestial spirit?
“ duì le ， zhè wèi dào yǒu shí lì rú cǐ bù fán ， miàn mào què mò shēng dé jǐn ， xiǎng bì bú shì wǒ men hán pò bīng yuán de yāo zú ， lái lì shì shén me ， kě fǒu gào zhī ne ？” hán shǔ wáng yòu zhuǎn guò tóu ， mù guāng zài lín xuān shēn shàng sǎo guò ， xīn zhōng yě yǒu diǎn dí gū ， qū qū yī fēn shén chū qī de yāo zú ， jū rán néng jiāng duō bì xióng bī dào rú cǐ dì bù ， kǒng pà bù jǐn jǐn shì kào nà bǎo wù ， běn shēn bì yě yǒu bù fán zhī chù ， nán dào tā shì shén me liǎo bù qǐ de tiān dì líng zú ？
“对了，这位道友实力如此不凡，面貌却陌生得紧，想必不是我们寒魄冰原的妖族，来历是什么，可否告知呢？”寒鼠王又转过头，目光在林轩身上扫过，心中也有点嘀咕，区区一分神初期的妖族，居然能将多臂熊bī到如此地步，恐怕不仅仅是靠那宝物，本身必也有不凡之处，难道他是什么了不起的天地灵族？
He didn't expect Lin Xuan to actually reveal his origins so readily. Even if he refused, there would still be some clues.
tā dào yě méi xiǎng guò ， lín xuān jiù zhēn néng jiāng lái lì xiāng gào ， bù guò jiù suàn shì tuī tuō ， duō shǎo yě néng kàn chū yì diǎn duān ní lái de 。
他倒也没想过，林轩就真能将来历相告，不过就算是推脱，多少也能看出一点端倪来的。
Surprisingly, Lin Xuan was extremely open: "Friend, I am called Lin Xuan. This is my first time in the Frosty Soul Ice Plain. I am a descendant of True Spirit..."
rán ér chū hū yì liào ， lín xuān què shuǎng kuài yǐ jí ， biǎo qíng sì hū gēn běn jiù méi yǒu shén me yǐn mán zhī yì ：“ dào yǒu kè qì le ， zài xià xìng lín míng xuān ， què shí shì dì yī cì lái dào hán pò bīng yuán ， wǒ nǎi zhēn líng hòu yì ……”
然而出乎意料，林轩却爽快以极，表情似乎根本就没有什么隐瞒之意：“道友客气了，在下姓林名轩，确实是第一次来到寒魄冰原，我乃真灵后裔……”
"Descendant of True Spirit?"
“ zhēn líng hòu yì ？”
“真灵后裔？”
Before Lin Xuan finished speaking, everyone present was stunned. The Ice Bear and King Frost Rat exchanged glances, while the Corpse Wasp King stood dumbfounded. Shang'er princess was deeply impressed by the big guy’s audacity—such lies were told without blinking.
lín xuān huà yīn wèi luò ， zài chǎng jǐ rén jiù jīng dāi le ， bīng xióng hán shǔ miàn miàn xiāng qù ， wú gōng shī wáng yě shì dāi ruò mù jī， zhì yú xiāng ér gōng zhǔ ， zé shì pèi fú wú bǐ ， dà kuài tóu hái zhēn gǎn chuī xū ， sā zhè yàng de huǎng yě shì bù dài zhǎ yǎn dì 。
林轩话音未落，在场几人就惊呆了，冰熊寒鼠面面相觑，蜈蚣尸王也是呆若木jī，至于香儿公主，则是佩服无比，大块头还真敢吹嘘，撒这样的谎也是不带眨眼地。
No wonder the others reacted this way.
yě nán guài zhòng yāo yǒu rú cǐ fǎn yìng 。
也难怪众妖有如此反应。
True Spirit, in a sense, could be considered a妖族.
zhēn líng ， cóng mǒu zhǒng yì yì shàng ， yě kě yǐ shuō shì yāo zú 。
真灵，从某种意义上，也可以说是妖族。
But it was the strongest kind.
dàn què shì zuì qiáng de nà zhǒng 。
但却是最强的那种。
A being that all other妖were in awe of. If one had even a trace of True Spirit bloodline, it would be like human cultivators having the best spiritual root—enviable.
nà shì ràng wàn yāo yǎng shì de cún zài ， ér ruò shì yōng yǒu xiē xǔ zhēn líng de xuè tǒng ， jiù fǎng fú rén lèi xiū shì yōng yǒu zuì hǎo de líng gēn yì bān ， ràng rén xiàn mù 。
那是让万妖仰视的存在，而若是拥有些许真灵的血统，就仿佛人类修士拥有最好的灵根一般，让人羡慕。
No wonder this guy, only at the Successor-stage, could make Ice Bear King look so desperate.
nán guài zhè jiā huo bù guò qū qū fēn shén chū qī ， jiù néng ràng bīng xióng wáng láng bèi yǐ jí 。
难怪这家伙不过区区分神初期，就能让冰熊王狼狈以极。
Thinking of the mountain golden solar bird diagram, Multi-Arm Bear couldn't help but blurt out: "Could you have the true blood of the legendary Golden Solar Bird?"
duō bì xióng xiǎng dào gāng cái de shān yuè jīn wū tú ， gèng shì rěn bú zhù tuō kǒu ér chū ：“ nán dào nǐ yōng yǒu de ， shì chuán shuō zhēn de jīn wū zhēn xuè me ？”
多臂熊想到刚才的山岳金乌图，更是忍不住脱口而出：“难道你拥有的，是传说真的金乌真血么？”
"Indeed. I do possess some of the Golden Solar Bird's bloodline."
“ bù cuò ， lín mǒu què shí yōng yǒu xiē xǔ jīn wū de xuè tǒng 。”
“不错，林某确实拥有些许金乌的血统。”
Lin Xuan’s proud voice echoed. He took up the banner and continued to mislead his opponent, which would be beneficial for him.
lín xuān ào rán de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， chě qǐ hǔ pí zuò dà qí ， shùn zhe duì fāng de yì si ， hú shuō bā dào xià qù ， néng gòu wù dǎo duì shǒu ， duì zì jǐ zì rán yě shì yǒu hǎo chù dì 。
林轩傲然的声音传入耳朵，扯起虎皮做大旗，顺着对方的意思，胡说八道下去，能够误导对手，对自己自然也是有好处地。
PS: Monday, please give me a recommendation vote, thanks.

Chapter 2496: Golden Solar Bird Descendant
Finally, she was no longer the carefree little snow fox of old. She had become a princess bearing the weight of her clan's prosperity and decline.
However, this seemingly difficult choice took Shang'er only a few breaths to decide upon.
With a wave of her sleeve, a ribbon-like treasure flew out.
Shang'er remained by Lin Xuan’s side.
Perhaps she needed to consider many things. But could she really ignore the big guy just because of some concerns?
That would be the best choice for the Snow Fox Clan, but Shang'er herself would feel guilty about it.
After all, one cannot clean the world if they can't even sweep their own house. How could she ensure the prosperity and safety of the Snow Fox Clan if she couldn’t protect those close to her?
Despite being a woman, Shang'er displayed an impressive and bold demeanor at this moment—no less than any man.
Lin Xuan’s face remained calm, but he felt a sense of relief in his heart. He hadn't made a mistake.
Even with just one person against three妖族, he might not necessarily lose, but Shang'er's choice warmed his heart.
As the great battle was about to erupt, suddenly, a streak of light appeared from afar, speeding towards them like an arrow.
A voice rang out: "Brother Ice Bear, Princess Shang'er, don't fight. What’s going on? Why are you fighting among yourselves?"
This voice was completely unfamiliar to Lin Xuan, but it was very familiar to both Shang'er and the three妖族. With a frown, they indeed paused.

Shang'er didn't dare to be too rude: "Lady Shang'er pays her respects to King Frost Rat."

Even with Shang'er’s help, Lin Xuan didn’t have full confidence in victory against four opponents. Moreover, even if they won, it wasn't guaranteed that the other party wouldn’t escape. With many high-ranking妖修in the Frosty Soul Ice Plain, unexpected trouble could arise during their fight.
Lin Xuan remained calm on the surface but was internally assessing the situation and comparing both sides’ strengths. He would act only after careful consideration. He always thought thrice before acting.
Both parties had their own plans and reservations. In a short while, half a cup of tea passed.
The Multi-Arm Bear finished explaining everything. King Frost Rat’s hearty laughter echoed: "I thought it was something big. It's just a misunderstanding. Brother Ice Bear, Princess Shang'er, for my sake, don’t hold grudges. After all, we are all妖族living in the Frosty Soul Ice Plain. We see each other every day. Why fight over trivial matters and hurt our harmony?"
This was indeed reasonable.
The Multi-Arm Bear didn't want to fight Princess Shang'er either. Besides, he always followed King Frost Rat’s lead, so he couldn’t oppose him.
As for Princess Shang'er, she had already turned against the Ice Bear clan—this was a bad strategy. Now that someone was mediating, it was better to take this opportunity.
"By the way, this friend of yours has such formidable strength but looks unfamiliar. You’re not from our Frosty Soul Ice Plain, right? Could you tell us your origins?" King Frost Rat turned and scanned Lin Xuan, his doubts evident. A mere Successor-stage妖族could pressure Multi-Arm Bear to such an extent; it wasn’t just the treasure. He must have some extraordinary abilities. Could he be a great celestial spirit?
He didn't expect Lin Xuan to actually reveal his origins so readily. Even if he refused, there would still be some clues.
Surprisingly, Lin Xuan was extremely open: "Friend, I am called Lin Xuan. This is my first time in the Frosty Soul Ice Plain. I am a descendant of True Spirit..."
"Descendant of True Spirit?"
Before Lin Xuan finished speaking, everyone present was stunned. The Ice Bear and King Frost Rat exchanged glances, while the Corpse Wasp King stood dumbfounded. Shang'er princess was deeply impressed by the big guy’s audacity—such lies were told without blinking.
No wonder the others reacted this way.
True Spirit, in a sense, could be considered a妖族.
But it was the strongest kind.
A being that all other妖were in awe of. If one had even a trace of True Spirit bloodline, it would be like human cultivators having the best spiritual root—enviable.
No wonder this guy, only at the Successor-stage, could make Ice Bear King look so desperate.
Thinking of the mountain golden solar bird diagram, Multi-Arm Bear couldn't help but blurt out: "Could you have the true blood of the legendary Golden Solar Bird?"
"Indeed. I do possess some of the Golden Solar Bird's bloodline."
Lin Xuan’s proud voice echoed. He took up the banner and continued to mislead his opponent, which would be beneficial for him.
