lín xuān yǎn zhōng liú lù chū yī sī yà sè 。（ quán wén zì diàn zi shū miǎn fèi xià zài ）
林轩眼中流露出一丝讶色。（全文字电子书免费下载）
Lin Xuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise. (Full text without ads)
xiāng ér zhí zhǎng xuě hú yī zú ， lì shí yǐ yǒu bǎi nián zhī jiǔ ， wēi yí rì zhòng ， àn lǐ shuō ， shì bù yīng gāi zhè me chén bú zhù qì de 。
香儿执掌雪狐一族，历时已有百年之久，威仪日重，按理说，是不应该这么沉不住气的。
Xiang'er had been in charge of the Snow Fox Clan for over a century, and her authority was growing stronger by the day. It didn't make sense that she would be so flustered.
chú fēi shì zhēn fā shēng le shén me bù dé le de biàn gù ， yǐ zhì yú tā dōu lái bù jí tóng zì jǐ dǎ yī shēng zhāo hū 。
除非是真发生了什么不得了的变故，以至于她都来不及同自己打一声招呼。
Unless something unforeseen had happened, leaving her no time to notify him.
lín xuān wú yì juǎn rù yāo zú fēn zhēng de xuán wō ， bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， xiǎn rán yě shì bù néng gòu zhì shēn shì wài de 。
林轩无意卷入妖族纷争的漩涡，不过此时此刻，显然也是不能够置身事外的。
Lin Xuan did not wish to get entangled in the纷争 of the妖族, but he could not remain indifferent at this moment.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， mài bù cóng zhè lǐ zǒu le chū qù 。
林轩叹了口气，迈步从这里走了出去。
He sighed and stepped out from where he was. Then he released his spiritual sense, quickly zeroing in on Xiang'er's location. Lin Xuan used a concealment technique to follow her silently.
suí hòu jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， hěn kuài jiù yǒu le shōu huò ， suǒ dìng xiāng ér gōng zhǔ zài hé chù ， lín xuān shī zhǎn yǐn nì zhī shù ， qiāo wú shēng xī de zhuī guò qù le 。
随后将神识放出，很快就有了收获，锁定香儿公主在何处，林轩施展隐匿之术，悄无声息的追过去了。
If possible, he would have preferred not to hide his tracks, but with Xiang'er no longer by his side, he would surely be seen as an enemy if he went out carelessly.
rú guǒ kě yǐ ， tā yě bù xiǎng yǐn cáng xíng jì ， rán ér rú jīn xiāng ér bù zài shēn cè ， zì jǐ dà dà liē liē de chū qù fēi bèi rèn dìng wèi dí rén bù kě 。
如果可以，他也不想隐藏行迹，然而如今香儿不在身侧，自己大大咧咧的出去非被认定为敌人不可。
Lin Xuan did not want any misunderstandings leading to conflict. So for now, hiding his form was the best and most correct choice.
lín xuān kě bù xiǎng yīn wèi wù huì ， ér yǔ tā men qǐ chōng tū ， suǒ yǐ ， zàn shí yǐn nì shēn xíng ， shì zuì jiā yě zuì zhèng què de xuǎn zé 。
林轩可不想因为误会，而与他们起冲突，所以，暂时隐匿身形，是最佳也最正确的选择。
The area here was already at the heart of Snow Fox Clan territory. Following the principle of outer tightness and inner looseness, the defenses were not as stringent. Lin Xuan encountered no significant obstacles and easily reached his destination.
hǎo zài zhè lǐ yǐ shì xuě hú zú lǐng dì de fù xīn zhī chù ， gēn jù wài jǐn nèi sōng de yuán zé ， fáng hù fǎn ér bú shì zuì yán mì de ， lín xuān yī lù méi yǒu yù jiàn tài dà de bō zhé ， qīng sōng zì zài jiù lái dào mù dì dì le 。
好在这里已是雪狐族领地的腹心之处，根据外紧内松的原则，防护反而不是最严密的，林轩一路没有遇见太大的波折，轻松自在就来到目的地了。
Before him stood an ice-carved pavilion.
yìng rù yǎn lián de shì yī dòng bīng diāo yù zuó de gé lóu 。
映入眼帘的是一栋冰雕玉琢的阁楼。
This description was not exaggerated; the building truly was constructed from ten-thousand-year-old玄冰 and寒玉.
zhè yàng de xíng róng méi yǒu fēn háo kuā zhāng zhī chù ， yīn wèi yǎn qián de jiàn zhù ， zhēn de shì yòng wàn nián xuán bīng yǔ hán yù duī qì ér chéng de 。
这样的形容没有分毫夸张之处，因为眼前的建筑，真的是用万年玄冰与寒玉堆砌而成的。
The entire structure was enveloped in a layer of semi-transparent cold aura.
zhěng gè jiàn zhù ， bāo guǒ zhe yī céng bàn tòu míng de hán qì 。
整个建筑，包裹着一层半透明的寒气。
Such a building would be priceless, offering the Snow Foxes significant advantages for cultivation.
jiù zhè jiàn zhù ， yě shì yī jià gé bù fēi de bǎo wù ， xuě hú zài lǐ miàn xiū xíng ， xiǎng bì yǒu shì bàn gōng bèi de xiào guǒ 。
就这建筑，也是一价格不菲的宝物，雪狐在里面修行，想必有事半功倍的效果。
The pavilion wasn't particularly large, as expected, with no guards present. Lin Xuan's face lit up; he flashed through the air like a fish and quietly entered.
zhěng dòng gé lóu bìng bù shèn dà ， bù chū yù liào de ， shì yí gè shǒu wèi yě wú ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī xǐ sè ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， rú tóng yī wěi yóu yú yì bān ， qiāo wú shēng xī de qián rù le lǐ miàn 。
整栋阁楼并不甚大，不出预料的，是一个守卫也无，林轩脸上露出一丝喜色，身形一闪，如同一尾游鱼一般，悄无声息的潜入了里面。
---
……
……
On the other side of the story:
zài shuō lìng yī biān 。 quán wén zì wú guǎng gào
再说另一边。全文字无广告
Inside the pavilion, the atmosphere was tense, almost menacing.
cǐ kè gé lóu zhōng de qì fēn què yǒu xiē sēn yán 。
此刻阁楼中的气氛却有些森严。
Xiang'er sat on the main seat, while several dozen妖族 stood behind and beside her.
shèn zhì yǒu jǐ fēn sù shā de wèi dào zài lǐ miàn 。
甚至有几分肃杀的味道在里面。
Lin Xuan couldn't use his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye, but from their appearances, he could tell that not all these cultivators were part of the Snow Fox Clan.
zhǔ wèi shàng zuò zhe de shì xiāng ér gōng zhǔ 。
主位上坐着的是香儿公主。
Their cultivation levels were impressive; even the weakest was at the late stage of Cave Profound Realm.
ér zài tā de bèi hòu yǔ shēn cè ， zhàn zhe de yāo zú zú yǒu qī bā rén zhī duō 。
而在她的背后与身侧，站着的妖族足有七八人之多。
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan was initially taken aback but quickly recovered.
cǐ kè lín xuān suī rán wú fǎ shǐ yòng tiān fèng shén mù ， dàn cóng zhè xiē jiā huo de wài mào yě néng gòu pàn duàn chū ， zhè xiē yāo xiū bìng fēi jiē shǔ yú xuě hú zú 。
此刻林轩虽然无法使用天凤神目，但从这些家伙的外貌也能够判断出，这些妖修并非皆属于雪狐族。
It wasn't strange. The Snow Foxes had established themselves in the Frost Soul Ice Plain with both their own efforts and the support of their benefactor.
bù guò xiū wèi dōu shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
不过修为都是非同小可。
Since arriving in the Spirit World, the clan's power was still weak, so they sought external assistance by luring other妖族 to join as guest elders, offering them significant benefits.
zuì ruò de yí gè ， yě shì dòng xuán hòu qī dà chéng jìng jiè de 。
最弱的一个，也是洞玄后期大成境界的。
This tactic wasn't new, but it worked much better for the Snow Foxes due to Xiang'er’s exceptional talent. Born with three tails, her potential was unparalleled; she could even reach the Tribulation Transcending Realm in a thousand years.
lín xuān kàn dào zhè yí mù ， xiān shì yǒu xiē cuò è ， bù guò hěn kuài jiù fǎn yìng guò lái le 。
林轩看到这一幕，先是有些错愕，不过很快就反应过来了。
The loose cultivation groups were willing to join because of this. Xiang'er's potential meant that they might benefit from her protection if she reached the Tribulation Transcending Realm one day.
qí shí yě méi shén me hào qí guài de 。
其实也没什么好奇怪的。
It made sense. With such a genius as their guest elder, luring other妖族 was much easier.
xuě hú néng gòu zhè me kuài zài hán pò bīng yuán lì zú ， chú le xiāng ér nà wèi yì fù de dà lì zhī chí yǐ wài ， běn shēn de nǔ lì ， yě bù kě qīng rǔ 。
雪狐能够这么快在寒魄冰原立足，除了香儿那位义父的大力支持以外，本身的努力，也不可轻辱。
Otherwise, relying solely on their own strength, how could the Snow Foxes compete with Ice Bear and Frost Mouse in the three-way balance?
yóu yú lái líng jiè de shí jiān shàng duǎn ， zú nèi yāo xiū de lì liàng hái bǐ jiào bó ruò ， yú shì tā men cǎi qǔ le jiè yòng wài lì de fāng fǎ ， jiǎn dān de shuō ， jiù shì lā lǒng xī shōu qí tā de yāo zú ， gěi hěn hǎo de tián tóu ， zuò běn zú de kè qīng zhǎng lǎo 。
由于来灵界的时间尚短，族内妖修的力量还比较薄弱，于是他们采取了借用外力的方法，简单的说，就是拉拢吸收其他的妖族，给很好的甜头，做本族的客卿长老。
These were simple truths that Lin Xuan quickly understood.
jǐn guǎn zhè yī zhāo bù suàn xīn qí ， qí tā yāo zú yě cháng cháng yòng ， rán ér xiào guǒ ， dōu yuǎn méi yǒu xuě hú yī zú hǎo ， jiū qí yuán yīn ， zé shì xiāng ér de yuán gù 。
尽管这一招不算新奇，其他妖族也常常用，然而效果，都远没有雪狐一族好，究其原因，则是香儿的缘故。
Then he took another look and his expression turned strange. The unexpected guests he recognized included two towering figures: one tall and muscular, the other an ugly old man.
zhè wèi yī chū shēng jiù yōng yǒu sān tiáo wěi ba de xiǎo xuě hú ， qí tiān fù ， jiǎn zhí nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ miáo shù ， fǒu zé yě bú huì duǎn duǎn de qiān nián ， jiù chéng wéi fēn shén qī de dà néng le 。
这位一出生就拥有三条尾巴的小雪狐，其天赋，简直难以用言语描述，否则也不会短短的千年，就成为分神期的大能了。
The former had recently fought him.
ér nà xiē sàn xiū zhī suǒ yǐ yuàn yì jiā rù xuě hú zú ， jiù shì kàn zhòng le zhè yì diǎn ， xiāng ér de qián lì wú xiàn ， wèi lái jiù suàn shì mài rù dù jié qī ， yě yǒu nà me yī sī kě néng dì 。
而那些散修之所以愿意加入雪狐族，就是看中了这一点，香儿的潜力无限，未来就算是迈入渡劫期，也有那么一丝可能地。
Of course, they were Multi-Armed Bear and Frost Mouse King.
dà shù dǐ xià hǎo chéng liáng ， ruò xiāng ér gōng zhǔ zhēn chéng wéi dù jié qī dà néng yāo zú ， shēn wèi xuě hú zú kè qīng zhǎng lǎo de tā men zì rán yě néng gòu shòu qí bì hù ， huò dé wú jìn de hǎo chù 。
大树底下好乘凉，若香儿公主真成为渡劫期大能妖族，身为雪狐族客卿长老的他们自然也能够受其庇护，获得无尽的好处。
But these guys weren't alone; behind them stood many of their own powerful cultivators, including Ten Thousand Corpses King and Thousand Legs Venerable.
zhè ge dào lǐ shì hěn qiǎn xiǎn de 。
这个道理是很浅显的。
This was a strange situation. They had clashed before, but under the mediation of Frost Mouse King, it had been temporarily resolved.
ér qiě hái yǒu yì diǎn ， jǐn shàng tiān huā yuǎn yuǎn jí bù shàng xuě zhōng sòng tàn 。
而且还有一点，锦上添花远远及不上雪中送炭。
Ice Bear and Frost Mouse were indeed in the same camp, but there was no reason to turn on each other so abruptly.
rú jīn xuě hú zú hái ruò ， suǒ yǐ xū yào tā men de jiā rù ， ruò zhēn děng gāi zú qiáng dà huò zhě xiāng ér gōng zhǔ jìn jiē dù jié qī le ， tā men jiù suàn yǒu yì jiā rù ， bié rén yě bú huì yào le 。
如今雪狐族还弱，所以需要他们的加入，若真等该族强大或者香儿公主进阶渡劫期了，他们就算有意加入，别人也不会要了。
They followed him back to their base shortly after his return, bringing many powerful cultivators with them.
nà xiē gāo jiē yāo xiū dōu shì huó le bù zhī dào duō shǎo wàn nián de lǎo guài wù ， zhè diǎn dào lǐ ， zì rán shì xīn zhōng yǒu shù 。
那些高阶妖修都是活了不知道多少万年的老怪物，这点道理，自然是心中有数。
Even if the three clans had long-standing issues, this move seemed out of place.
suǒ yǐ ， yǔ qí tā zú bù tóng ， yǒu le xiāng ér zhè wèi tiān cái zuò jīn zì zhāo pái ， zhāo lǎn qǐ qí tā de yāo zú ， què shì fèn wài shùn lì de 。
所以，与其他族不同，有了香儿这位天才做金字招牌，招揽起其他的妖族，却是分外顺利的。
Was there a plot?
fǒu zé ， xuě hú zú gēn jī shàng qiě ， jǐn píng běn zú de lì liàng qǐ néng yǔ bīng xióng ， hán shǔ dǐng zú ér sān ？
否则，雪狐族根基尚且，仅凭本族的力量岂能与冰熊，寒鼠鼎足而三？
Lin Xuan's thoughts raced. Meanwhile, Xiang'er’s mind was similar but she kept her composure. Her face showed clear signs of coldness.
zhè dào lǐ yě shuō bù shàng duō nán ， lín xuān lüè yī sī suǒ ， yě jiù xiǎng qīng chǔ qí zhōng de guān jié le 。
这道理也说不上多难，林轩略一思索，也就想清楚其中的关节了。
The benevolent do not come; those who come are not benevolent. But don't jump to conclusions yet. Regardless, we need to understand their intentions first.
suí hòu tā zài dìng jīng yī kàn ， biǎo qíng què bù yóu de gǔ guài qǐ lái 。
随后他再定睛一看，表情却不由得古怪起来。
"King Frost Mouse and King Ice Bear, why have you suddenly visited? Is there something you want?"
yīn wèi lìng yī biān de yāo zú ， yě jiù shì nà xiē bù sù zhī kè ， zì jǐ jū rán yě shì tóng yàng rèn shí de 。
因为另一边的妖族，也就是那些不速之客，自己居然也是同样认识的。
Xiang'er's anger was evident in her direct approach, leaving no room for politeness.
wéi shǒu de liǎng gè ， yí gè shēn cái gāo dà ， yí gè zé shì róng mào chǒu lòu de lǎo zhě 。
为首的两个，一个身材高大，一个则是容貌丑陋的老者。
"Haha, Princess Xiang'er, you're straightforward. Since you've asked, I won't beat around the bush," Frost Mouse King spoke first, his face showing a smile that didn't reach his eyes, clearly harboring ill intentions.
qián zhě bù jiǔ qián cái yǔ zì jǐ dòng le shǒu de 。
前者不久前才与自己动了手的。
"Oh?"
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì nà duō bì xióng yǔ hán shǔ wáng le 。
不用说，自然是那多臂熊与寒鼠王了。
Xiang'er's expression remained calm; she couldn’t afford to lose her composure now.
bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zhè liǎng gè jiā huo jiù bú shì gū shēn dào cǐ de 。
不过此时此刻，这两个家伙就不是孤身到此的。
"Old man and Brother Bear came here because we have leads on the stolen treasures from the Holy Temple," Frost Mouse King continued.
tā men de shēn hòu ， tóng yàng zhàn yǒu bù shǎo běn zú de gāo shǒu ， bāo kuò wàn shī wáng hái yǒu nà qiān zú zūn zhě dōu zài qí zhōng 。
他们的身后，同样站有不少本族的高手，包括万尸王还有那千足尊者都在其中。
"What?!"
zhè jú miàn kě jiù yǒu xiē guǐ yì le 。
这局面可就有些诡异了。
This time, Xiang'er was visibly taken aback. The responsibility for the theft lay with their clan, so any clues would be significant. How could she not care?
shuāng fāng shì fā shēng guò chōng tū méi cuò ， kě zài nà hán shǔ wáng de tiáo jiě xià yǐ zàn shí píng xī le 。
双方是发生过冲突没错，可在那寒鼠王的调解下已暂时平息了。
Lin Xuan's reaction was more composed; as they say, an outside observer sees clearly. These were clearly up to no good.
bīng xióng hán shǔ shì yī qiū zhī hé méi cuò ， dàn yě méi dào lǐ fān liǎn rú tóng fān shū 。
冰熊寒鼠是一丘之貉没错，但也没道理翻脸如同翻书。
"Ha ha, such a serious matter, how could I joke about it? Today, Brother Bear and I came here hoping you can give us an explanation," Frost Mouse King smiled wickedly.
zì jǐ yǔ xiǎo gōng zhǔ cái huí dào zhù dì ， tā men jiù qián hòu jiǎo de gēn lái le ， ér qiě hái dài lái zhè lǐ duō gāo shǒu 。
自己与小公主才回到驻地，他们就前后脚的跟来了，而且还带来这里多高手。
"What explanation?"
jiù suàn sān zú zǎo yǒu bù hé ， zhè yàng zuò ， wèi miǎn yě yǒu xiē bù tài hé cháng lǐ le 。
就算三族早有不合，这样做，未免也有些不太和常理了。
Xiang'er finally realized the gravity of the situation, her face filled with suspicion.
nán dào shì yǒu yīn móu ？
难道是有阴谋？
"Princess Niece Xiang'er, I dare to call you so. Given the circumstances, why pretend? The treasures in the Holy Temple were stolen because you colluded with human cultivators and committed theft!"
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， ér cǐ kè xiāng ér de xiǎng fǎ yǔ tā shì chà bu duō ， bù guò biǎo miàn shàng ， xiǎo gōng zhǔ què bù dòng shēng sè ， dàn liǎn shàng de hán yì ， shì gè rén dōu néng kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
林轩脑海中念头转过，而此刻香儿的想法与他是差不多，不过表面上，小公主却不动声色，但脸上的寒意，是个人都能看得清清楚楚。

Chapter 2503 - The Benevolent Do Not Come
Lin Xuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise. (Full text without ads)
Xiang'er had been in charge of the Snow Fox Clan for over a century, and her authority was growing stronger by the day. It didn't make sense that she would be so flustered.
