bù guò hěn kuài ， lín xuān jiù bù qù xiǎng le ， yīn wèi tā kàn jiàn le yí gè shú xī de shēn yǐng 。
不过很快，林轩就不去想了，因为他看见了一个熟悉的身影。
However, Lin Xuan quickly dismissed such thoughts as he saw a familiar figure.
bǎi huā xiān zi 。
百花仙子。
The Fairy of Hundred Flowers.
yīng gāi méi yǒu kàn cuò ， jiù zài nà yuǎn chù qiū líng hòu miàn de 。
应该没有看错，就在那远处丘陵后面的。
He was certain that his eyes were not deceiving him; she was indeed behind those distant hills.
cǐ nǚ jū rán méi yǒu yǔn luò ？
此女居然没有陨落？
How could this woman have survived the explosion?
lín xuān dà wèi hài rán 。
林轩大为骇然。
Lin Xuan was greatly astonished. He knew how terrifying the self-destruction of the True Scripture Golden Jade Toad could be, though he couldn't fully assess it due to his current realm. Just thinking about how even time and space were reduced to nothing, and the laws of nature turned into chaos, gave him an idea.
jīn yuè zhēn chán zì bào běn yuán yǒu duō kě pà ， tā suī rán yīn wèi jìng jiè de yuán gù ， bù néng wán quán gū suàn qīng chǔ ， dàn xiǎng xiǎng ， lián shí kōng dōu huà wèi xū wú ， tiān dì fǎ zé ， dōu bèi zhà chéng le hùn dùn yī piàn ， jiù kě yǐ gū suàn chū 。
金玥真蟾自爆本源有多可怕，他虽然因为境界的缘故，不能完全估算清楚，但想想，连时空都化为虚无，天地法则，都被炸成了混沌一片，就可以估算出。
In such a situation, this woman had not perished? Was there something wrong with his eyes?
zhè yàng de qíng kuàng xià ， cǐ nǚ jū rán méi yǒu yǔn luò ， yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ？
这样的情况下，此女居然没有陨落，有没有搞错？
Even if she was at the late-stage Transcendation Realm, or a super-strong cultivator with a domain, it would still be too outlandish.
jiù suàn shì dù jié hòu qī ， jiù suàn shì yōng yǒu lǐng yù de chāo jí qiáng zhě ， zhè yě wèi miǎn tài lí pǔ 。
就算是渡劫后期，就算是拥有领域的超级强者，这也未免太离谱。
But reality lay before him, leaving no room for doubt. He now needed to decide whether he should approach her.
kě shì shí zài yǎn qián bǎi zhe ， róng bù dé lín xuān huái yí ， tā xiàn zài xū yào sī kǎo de ， shì zì jǐ yīng bù yīng gāi guò qù 。
可事实在眼前摆着，容不得林轩怀疑，他现在需要思考的，是自己应不应该过去。
After all, this contradicted his initial thoughts. Originally, he had assumed that she and the True Scripture Golden Jade Toad had perished together, allowing him to reap the benefits of their struggle—like a fish taking advantage of two fighting crabs.
bì jìng ， zhè yǔ zì jǐ zuì chū de xiǎng fǎ bù tóng 。
毕竟，这与自己最初的想法不同。
But it seemed like things were not as simple as that. The woman was alive and well. What should he do?
yuán běn ， tā yǐ wéi cǐ nǚ yǐ jīng yǔ jīn yuè zhēn chán tóng guī yú jìn le ， yú shì ， zì jǐ kě yǐ jiǎn pián yí ， hé bàng xiāng zhēng ， yú wēng dé lì 。
原本，他以为此女已经与金玥真蟾同归于尽了，于是，自己可以捡便宜，河蚌相争，渔翁得利。
Although Lin Xuan knew that even if she survived this ordeal, she would undoubtedly be severely injured, the explosion's power was too formidable for any cultivator, let alone a late-stage Transcendation Realm expert or a True Immortal in her position.
dàn xiàn zài kàn lái ， gēn běn jiù bú shì nà me huí shì 。
但现在看来，根本就不是那么回事。
Moreover, they were only about a hundred feet apart. He had already detected her presence. With the Fairy of Hundred Flowers' terrifying divine sense at late-stage Transcendation Realm, it was impossible for him to go unnoticed.
cǐ nǚ hǎo hǎo huó zhe ， nà zì jǐ gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
此女好好活着，那自己该怎么办呢？
The only reasonable explanation was that she couldn't move.
suī rán lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， cǐ nǚ jiù suàn táo guò yī jié méi yǒu yǔn luò ， dàn yě kěn dìng shì zhòng shāng wú yí de ， bì jìng zhēn líng běn yuán bào zhà de wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， bié shuō tā yī dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， jiù suàn shì zhēn xiān yǔ qí yì dì ér chǔ ， yě jué bù kě néng jiù wán hǎo wú sǔn le 。
虽然林轩心中有数，此女就算逃过一劫没有陨落，但也肯定是重伤无疑的，毕竟真灵本源爆炸的威力非同小可，别说她一渡劫后期的修仙者，就算是真仙与其易地而处，也绝不可能就完好无损了。
Although his divine sense was suppressed in this abandoned space, its effects were much milder compared to when he was in a chaotic state.
hé kuàng zhè me jìn de jù lí ， liǎng zhě xiāng jù ， bù guò bǎi zhàng ér yǐ ， zì jǐ dōu fā xiàn le cǐ nǚ de zōng jì ， yǐ bǎi huā xiān zi dù jié hòu qī de kě pà shén shí ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě méi yǒu lǐ yóu bù fā xiàn zì jǐ 。
何况这么近的距离，两者相距，不过百丈而已，自己都发现了此女的踪迹，以百花仙子渡劫后期的可怕神识，无论如何，也没有理由不发现自己。
Lin Xuan extended his divine sense. Sure enough, the woman lay quietly on the ground, showing no signs of movement. Her pale face had bloodstains at the corner of her mouth, but her eyes, bright as the starry sea, remained open, indicating that she was not unconscious despite being severely injured.
nà tā wèi hé què shì ruò wú dǔ ， wéi yī hé lǐ de jiě shì jiù shì cǐ nǚ gēn běn dòng tán bù dé 。
那她为何却视若无睹，唯一合理的解释就是此女根本动弹不得。
She must have noticed him too.
suī rán zài zhè fèi qì kōng jiān zhōng ， shén niàn yě shòu dào yā zhì ， dàn yǔ zài hùn dùn zhuàng tài shí xiāng bǐ què yào hǎo le bù zhī fán jǐ 。
虽然在这废弃空间中，神念也受到压制，但与在混沌状态时相比却要好了不知凡几。
But there was no reaction from her. The only logical explanation was that she couldn't move.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū qù 。
林轩将神识放出去。
Lin Xuan pondered this carefully. Analyzing it further, his reasoning seemed sound. After all, the True Scripture Golden Jade Toad had perished, and in such a state of injury, she had no reason to ignore him.
guǒ rán fā xiàn cǐ nǚ jiù jìng jìng de tǎng zài yuán dì ， jìng shì sī háo wèi dòng de yàng zi 。
果然发现此女就静静的躺在原地，竟是丝毫未动的样子。
Returning here, even a fool would know he should have some plan.
liǎn sè cāng bái wú bǐ ， zuǐ jiǎo biān yǐn yǒu xuè jì ， rán ér yī duì càn ruò xīng hǎi de yǎn móu què shì zhēng zhe ， xiǎn rán cǐ nǚ ， suī xiàn rù zhòng shāng wú yí què bìng méi yǒu hūn mí 。
脸色苍白无比，嘴角边隐有血迹，然而一对灿若星海的眼眸却是睁着，显然此女，虽陷入重伤无疑却并没有昏迷。
Regardless of what that plan might be, this situation required caution from her side. But since she did nothing, it suggested that she was indeed unable to move.
yóu cǐ ， tā kěn dìng yě fā xiàn le zì jǐ 。
由此，她肯定也发现了自己。
Lin Xuan knew how the cultivation world worked; there were no principles of benevolence or righteousness here. With his experience and acumen, he would not make a foolish move out of pity for a woman. He would take advantage of her weakness—kill when one is ill. He had no connection with this Fairy of Hundred Flowers, so eliminating her and taking her storage bracelet and personal treasures would be beneficial.
rán ér què méi yǒu sī háo biǎo shì 。
然而却没有丝毫表示。
The wealth of a late-stage Transcendation Realm cultivator was beyond imagination. It could range fromprimordial spirit treasure (primordial spiritual artifacts) to reverse-defying elixirs that allowed for immediate advancement. Or perhaps some precious material exclusive to True Immortal realms? Her cultivation techniques or secret arts, if mastered, would be invaluable.
dòng tán bù dé yǐ chéng le wéi yī de jiě shì 。
动弹不得已成了唯一的解释。
The value of these items surpassed all measure.
lín xuān xīn shí yǒu le chuǎi mó 。
林轩心十有了揣摩。
Such thoughts stirred Lin Xuan's emotions greatly, but he still did not act rashly.
zǐ xì yī fēn xī ， zhè ge sī lù yīng gāi shì hé qíng hé lǐ 。
仔细一分析，这个思路应该是合情合理。
Right, no rash actions.
bì jìng jīn yuè zhēn chán yǐ jīng yǔn luò ， cǐ nǚ zài zhòng shāng qíng kuàng xià ， méi yǒu lǐ yóu hái duì zì jǐ shì ruò wú dǔ 。
毕竟金玥真蟾已经陨落，此女在重伤情况下，没有理由还对自己视若无睹。
Lin Xuan was not a simple-minded cultivator. He had faced countless trials and always considered both the pros and cons.
zì jǐ qù ér fù fǎn ， huàn gè bái chī dōu zhī dào yīng gāi huì yǒu suǒ dǎ suàn 。
自己去而复返，换个白痴都知道应该会有所打算。
After all, there were always two sides to every coin.
bù guǎn zhè ge dǎ suàn shì shén me ， cǐ nǚ zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià yīng gāi dōu yào yǒu suǒ fáng bèi cái shì 。
不管这个打算是什么，此女这种情况下应该都要有所防备才是。
He had only considered the potential gains from this risky endeavor. But what about the risks?
rán ér tā què shén me yě méi zuò ， nà bú shì wú fǎ dòng shì shén me ？
然而她却什么也没做，那不是无法动是什么？
Indeed, the Fairy of Hundred Flowers was severely injured and likely unable to move. However, she was a late-stage Transcendation Realm powerhouse with a domain. Even if she could barely survive the explosion, who knew what other tricks she might have up her sleeve?
lín xuān suī rán bù qīng chǔ zhè wèi bǎi huā xiān zi shì zěn me cóng nà kě pà de bào zhà zhōng cún huó ， dàn shòu zhòng shāng bù néng dòng yě shì hé qíng hé lǐ de 。
林轩虽然不清楚这位百花仙子是怎么从那可怕的爆炸中存活，但受重伤不能动也是合情合理的。
The disparity in their power was vast. She could potentially kill him with just a flick of her wrist.
jī huì lái le 。
机会来了。
These thoughts were not exaggerated; he had witnessed the Fairy's terrifying abilities firsthand.
xiū xiān jiè kě bù jiǎng shén me rén yì dào dé ， yǐ lín xuān de yuè lì chéng fǔ ， gèng bú huì zuò chū shén me lián xiāng xī yù de yú chǔn jǔ dòng ， chèn qí bìng ， yào qí mìng ， tā yǔ zhè wèi bǎi huā xiān zi kě méi yǒu jiāo qíng ， jiāng qí miè chú ， rán hòu qí chǔ wù dài yǐ jí suí shēn suǒ xié dài de bǎo wù jiù guī zì jǐ le 。
修仙界可不讲什么仁义道德，以林轩的阅历城府，更不会做出什么怜香惜玉的愚蠢举动，趁其病，要其命，他与这位百花仙子可没有交情，将其灭除，然后其储物袋以及随身所携带的宝物就归自己了。
Who said that a tiger in decline would be bullied or that a dragon in shallow waters would be mocked by shrimp?
zhè duì rèn hé yī míng xiū shì lái shuō ， dōu shì jué dà de yòu huò yī míng dù jié hòu qī xiū shì de shēn jiā bǎo guì dào hé zhǒng chéng dù ， jiǎn zhí shì nán yǐ yán yù de 。
这对任何一名修士来说，都是绝大的诱惑一名渡劫后期修士的身家宝贵到何种程度，简直是难以言喻的。
Facing such formidable opponents, one must have the qualifications to take advantage of their weakness.
xiān tiān líng bǎo ？
先天灵宝？
Lin Xuan was unwilling to risk it. It wasn't out of cowardice; rather, based on his experience, late-stage Transcendation Realm experts, even severely injured and unable to move, likely had some secret techniques that could unleash their full potential.
hái shì néng ràng rén zhí jiē jìn jí de nì tiān líng yào 。
还是能让人直接晋级的逆天灵药。
Even if she used such a technique, he would be severely hurt, but it wouldn't matter since he would already have perished before then. Considering the risks versus benefits, taking advantage of someone's weakness was not a wise choice; it might result in his death here instead of any gain.
huò zhě mǒu yī zhǒng zhēn xiān zhī jiè cái néng yǒu de bǎo guì cái liào ？
或者某一种真仙之界才能有的宝贵材料？
A losing proposition, and Lin Xuan knew he would not do that.
hái yǒu tā suǒ xiū liàn de gōng fǎ ， huò zhě jīng shàn de mǒu zhǒng mì shù ， ná dào wài miàn ， wú yī lì wài dōu shì jià zhí lián chéng zhī wù 。
还有她所修炼的功法，或者精擅的某种秘术，拿到外面，无一例外都是价值连城之物。
What else could he do?
bù jià zhí lián chéng dōu bù zú yǐ xíng róng 。
不价值连城都不足以形容。
Should he leave now?
zhè xiē dōng xī de bǎo guì gēn běn jiù dào le bù néng gū jià de chéng dù 。
这些东西的宝贵根本就到了不能估价的程度。
Given her severe injuries, she wouldn't harm him as long as he didn't provoke her. After all, it was unwise to hurt oneself for no benefit. But this choice was still unsatisfactory.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， xīn zhōng yě shí fēn jī dòng ， liǎn sè biàn huàn bù yǐ ， rán ér tā yī jiù méi yǒu qīng jǔ wàng dòng 。
念及至此，以林轩的城府，心中也十分激动，脸色变幻不已，然而他依旧没有轻举妄动。
He had endured so much danger and hardship only to gain nothing. Who would be content with such a situation? Seeing so many treasures but unable to take any of them—it was truly frustrating.
duì ， bù néng qīng jǔ wàng dòng 。
对，不能轻举妄动。
Damn!
lín xuān kě bú shì tóu nǎo jiǎn dān de xiū xiān zhě ， tā lì jīng fēng xuè yǔ wú shù ， kǎo lǜ wèn tí yě dōu yào cóng zhèng fǎn dé shī liǎng gè fāng miàn sī suǒ 。
林轩可不是头脑简单的修仙者，他历经风血雨无数，考虑问题也都要从正反得失两个方面思索。
Lin Xuan's heart was filled with frustration. What could he do now?
yào xiǎo de ， fán shì yǒu lì jiù yǒu bì 。
要晓得，凡事有利就有弊。
His mind raced, and as someone known for his quick thinking and cleverness, he quickly changed his perspective.
zì jǐ gāng gāng ， jǐn jǐn shì cóng mào xiǎn yī bó ， néng gòu huò dé de shōu yì lái kǎo lǜ 。
自己刚刚，仅仅是从冒险一搏，能够获得的收益来考虑。
If he couldn't take advantage of her weakness, how about offering help?
rán ér kě néng de wēi xiǎn ne ？
然而可能的危险呢？
The Fairy of Hundred Flowers' current condition was dire; she was practically immobile due to severe injuries. Would she be grateful if he offered assistance?
bù cuò ， bǎi huā xiān zi rú jīn shì shāng shì jí zhòng ， shí yǒu ** dòng tán bù dé ， rán ér bú yào wàng jì ， tā kě shì dù jié hòu qī dà néng ， ér qiě hái bú shì pǔ tōng de hòu qī xiū shì ， nǎi yōng yǒu lǐng yù de qiáng zhě 。
不错，百花仙子如今是伤势极重，十有**动弹不得，然而不要忘记，她可是渡劫后期大能，而且还不是普通的后期修士，乃拥有领域的强者。
The answer was obvious—she would be.
lián gāng gāng de bào zhà yě néng jiāng xiǎo mìng táo tuō ， rú jīn jí biàn shì dòng tán bù dé ， rán ér shuí yòu zhī dào ， tā hái yǒu méi yǒu qí tā yā xiāng dǐ de zhāo shù ？
连刚刚的爆炸也能将小命逃脱，如今即便是动弹不得，然而谁又知道，她还有没有其他压箱底的招数？
By doing so, he could form a good relationship with a late-stage Transcendation Realm expert. Such an opportunity was rare for him, and building such connections could bring immense benefits.
However, Lin Xuan quickly dismissed such thoughts as he saw a familiar figure.
The Fairy of Hundred Flowers.
He was certain that his eyes were not deceiving him; she was indeed behind those distant hills.
How could this woman have survived the explosion?
