yún hǎi miàn jī kuān guǎng ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， jìng fǎng fú wú biān wú jì ， qióng lóu yù yǔ ， yǎn yìng zài nà máng máng de yún qì lǐ ， gèng tiān shén mì 。
云海面积宽广，一眼望去，竟仿佛无边无际，琼楼玉宇，掩映在那茫茫的云气里，更添神秘。
The expanse of the cloud sea was vast, stretching out endlessly as one gazed upon it. Jade pavilions and palaces were hidden among the misty clouds, adding to its mysterious allure.
tài yuǎn de jiàn zhù ， kàn bù qīng chǔ ， dàn shāo jìn xiē de tíng tái lóu gé ， wú bù shì huá měi zhuàng lì dào jí chù 。
太远的建筑，看不清楚，但稍近些的亭台楼阁，无不是华美壮丽到极处。
Distant buildings could not be clearly seen, but closer structures such as terraces and pavilions were marvels of beauty and grandeur.
yào me shì yòng měi yù jīng diāo xì zuó ， yào me jiù shì yòng míng guì yì cháng de shù mù ， yī yī dā jiàn ér chéng de ， gèng yǒu shèn zhě ， jū rán shì yòng yī zhěng kuài de shuǐ jīng liàn zhì ér chéng de 。
要么是用美玉精雕细琢，要么就是用名贵异常的树木，一一搭建而成的，更有甚者，居然是用一整块的水晶炼制而成的。
Some were meticulously carved from fine jade, while others were constructed from rare trees. Even more impressively, some were crafted entirely from a single block of crystal.
zài fǔ yǐ yè míng zhū ， qī cǎi shí ， zǔ mǔ lǜ zuò wèi zhuāng shì ， xiǎn de shì měi lì wú bǐ 。
再辅以夜明珠，七彩石，祖母绿做为装饰，显得是美丽无比。
These were further adorned with night pearls, multicolored stones, and emeralds, making them breathtakingly beautiful.
bù shí hái yǒu shào nǚ yín líng bān de xiào shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ 。
不时还有少女银铃般的笑声传入耳里。
Occasionally, the sound of silver laughter would reach their ears.
yún hǎi xiān jìng ， guǒ rán shì shèng míng wú xū 。
云海仙境，果然是盛名无虚。
The Cloud Sea Immortal Realm was indeed as renowned as its name suggested. However, it differed from usual times; today marked a grand celebration for Senior Daoist Nailedong and Fairy Qianqian's union. While not decorated with red and gold, the cloud sea added an extra layer of joy to the festivities.
bù guò yǔ wǎng rì bù tóng ， jīn tiān shì nài lóng zhēn rén yǔ qiān qiān xiān zi dà xǐ ， yún hǎi shuō bù shàng pī hóng guà cǎi ， dàn yě yīn cǐ ， píng tiān le jǐ fēn xǐ qì 。
不过与往日不同，今天是鼐龙真人与芊芊仙子大喜，云海说不上披红挂彩，但也因此，平添了几分喜气。
Beyond the beautiful maidservants, many guests had arrived, numbering more than a hundred in total—though this did not include the disciples and apprentices accompanying them.
chú le nà xiē róng mào jiāo hǎo de shì nǚ ， hái yǒu xǔ duō kè rén lái dào le cǐ dì 。
除了那些容貌姣好的侍女，还有许多客人来到了此地。
A hundred guests might seem few, but their cultivation levels were astonishing. All were cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage.
shù liàng yě bù tài duō 。
数量也不太多。
Indeed, there were over a hundred powerful beings at the Tribulation Transcending stage gathered here. Such an assembly was unprecedented in millions of years; even during regular gatherings, it would be rare to see more than two or three familiar faces.
bù guò bǎi rén yǒu yú 。
不过百人有余。
The disciples and apprentices accompanying their mentors did not count, but even the old monsters at the Tribulation Transcending stage found this unusual.
dāng rán ， zhè shì zhǐ zhēn zhèng shòu yāo de bīn kè ， bù bāo kuò suí shì zài yī páng de mén rén dì zǐ 。
当然，这是指真正受邀的宾客，不包括随侍在一旁的门人弟子。
It was all due to Senior Daoist Nailedong's influence.
bǎi yú rén de bīn kè ， shuō qǐ lái zhēn bù suàn duō ， rán ér tā men de xiū wèi ， què lìng rén chēng mù ， wú yī lì wài ， quán shì dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě 。
百余人的宾客，说起来真不算多，然而他们的修为，却令人瞠目，无一例外，全是渡劫级别的修仙者。
This statement held no exaggeration. Among them, there had been double cultivation ceremonies before, but other Tribulation Transcending powerhouses would rarely attend such events, save for a few close friends.
duì ， dà jiā méi yǒu kàn cuò ， cǐ kè jù jí zài zhè lǐ de ， guāng shì dù jié jí bié wèi de dà néng ， jiù yǒu bǎi rén zhī duō 。
对，大家没有看错，此刻聚集在这里的，光是渡劫级别为的大能，就有百人之多。
However, Senior Daoist Nailedong was different; he was at the late-stage Tribulation Transcending level. While outwardly appearing to be on par with the guests paying their respects, his later-stage cultivation was vastly different from that of early or mid-stage cultivators.
zhè zhǒng zhèn róng ， shuō hài rén tīng wén ， nà shì háo bù wèi guò ， yì bān qíng kuàng xià ， dù jié jí bié de cún zài ， dōu shì shén lóng jiàn shǒu bù jiàn wěi 。
这种阵容，说骇人听闻，那是毫不为过，一般情况下，渡劫级别的存在，都是神龙见首不见尾。
Innumerable years ago, even as a young cultivator, Senior Daoist Nailedong had already shaken the three realms with his power. Even if faced against the Three Celestial Immortals and the Three Demon Kings, they would not dare claim victory; both sides were on equal footing, true top-tier beings of the three realms.
jí shǐ ǒu yǒu xiǎo jù ， yě bù guò shì liǎng sān gè xiāng shú de hǎo yǒu zài yì qǐ ， yǐn jiǔ zuò lè ， jiāo huàn xiū liàn xīn dé ， xiàng yǎn qián zhè yàng ， shàng bǎi rén jù zài yì qǐ ， bù shuō jué wú jǐn yǒu ， dàn zhì shǎo jìn bǎi wàn nián lái ， cóng wèi yǒu guò 。
即使偶有小聚，也不过是两三个相熟的好友在一起，饮酒作乐，交换修炼心得，像眼前这样，上百人聚在一起，不说绝无仅有，但至少近百万年来，从未有过。
To say that this was an unprecedented event, it was no exaggeration. The Three Celestial Immortals and the Three Demon Kings themselves would hesitate before facing Senior Daoist Nailedong.
nà xiē gēn suí shī mén zhǎng bèi qián lái de mén rén dì zǐ zàn qiě bù tí ， biàn shì nà xiē dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， zì jǐ yě jué de xī qí 。
那些跟随师门长辈前来的门人弟子暂且不提，便是那些渡劫期老怪物，自己也觉得稀奇。
But apart from Senior Daoist Nailedong, there was another remarkable figure: Fairy Qianqian herself.
zhè dōu shì nài lóng zhēn rén de miàn zi 。
这都是鼐龙真人的面子。
She was not just a beauty; since the fall of King Asura, the most beautiful woman in the three realms was undoubtedly the Queen of the Nine-Tailed Fox, Empress Qingqiu. However, while Empress Qingqiu was indeed the most beautiful, Fairy Qianqian's charm likely surpassed her.
zhè huà jué wú kuā dà zhī chù ， yīn wèi tā men zhè xiē rén zhōng 。 yě céng yǒu jǔ xíng guò shuāng xiū dà diǎn ， dàn chú le jǐ gè zhì jiāo hǎo yǒu wài ， qí tā dù jié qī dà néng nǎ ér yǒu kě néng lái nà me duō 。
这话绝无夸大之处，因为他们这些人中。也曾有举行过双修大典，但除了几个至交好友外，其他渡劫期大能哪儿有可能来那么多。
Charm was not just about appearance; it encompassed interests, personality, and manners—essentially a comprehensive evaluation. While Empress Qingqiu was undoubtedly beautiful, as the Queen of the Nine-Tailed Fox and one of the top-tier beings in the three realms, her status alone made her unattainable for ordinary cultivators.
rán ér nài lóng zhēn rén bù tóng ， nà kě shì dù jié hòu qī de cún zài ， biǎo miàn shàng ， yǔ nà xiē qián lái gōng hè de bīn kè shì tóng yī jí bié de ， dàn hòu qī yǔ chū qī ， shèn zhì zhōng qī xiū shì dōu shì wán quán bù tóng 。
然而鼐龙真人不同，那可是渡劫后期的存在，表面上，与那些前来恭贺的宾客是同一级别的，但后期与初期，甚至中期修士都是完全不同。
Even Tribulation Transcending powerhouses might have an opportunity to meet her, but even then, they would likely feel inferior. While not outright shameful, it was indeed daunting to pursue such a relationship.
nài lóng zhēn rén yǐ jīng chāo tuō le shòu yuán de shù fù 。 zài shù bǎi wàn nián qián 。 kě yǐ shuō ， jiù yǐ shì wēi zhèn sān jiè le 。
鼐龙真人已经超脱了寿元的束缚。在数百万年前。可以说，就已是威震三界了。
Fairy Qianqian, on the other hand, exuded charm that made anyone around her feel like they were basking in spring sunshine. Although she could not match Empress Qingqiu's beauty, she was still an incomparably stunning beauty. Moreover, as a mid-stage Tribulation Transcending cultivator who excelled at cooking, this was particularly rare.
zhè yàng shuō ba ， jí shǐ sān dà sàn xiān yǔ sān dà yāo wáng duì shàng nài lóng zhēn rén 。 yě bù gǎn yán bì shèng ， shuāng fāng guī gēn jié dǐ ， yǐ jīng shì yí gè céng miàn de cún zài 。 zhēn zhèng de sān jiè dǐng jí 。
这样说吧，即使三大散仙与三大妖王对上鼐龙真人。也不敢言必胜，双方归根结底，已经是一个层面的存在。真正的三界顶级。
There is an old saying:
qí shí ， bié shuō nài lóng zhēn rén le ， biàn shì jīn tiān de xīn niáng ， qiān qiān xiān zi 。
其实，别说鼐龙真人了，便是今天的新娘，芊芊仙子。
To control a man’s heart, first control his stomach.
nà yě bú shì yì bān de rén wù 。
那也不是一般的人物。
It is said that Senior Daoist Nailedong had been captivated by Fairy Qianqian's culinary skills. After repeatedly enjoying her meals without paying, he gradually fell under the spell of her personality and character, leading to his transformation from a playboy to someone seriously considering marriage.
yào shuō měi lì ， zì cóng yīn sī zhī zhǔ ， ā xiū luó wáng yǔn luò ， fàng yǎn sān jiè ， dì yī měi nǚ ， dāng fēi qīng qiū guó zhǔ mò shǔ 。 méi cuò ， jiù shì chuán shuō zhōng de jiǔ wěi tiān hú 。
要说美丽，自从阴司之主，阿修罗王陨落，放眼三界，第一美女，当非青丘国主莫属。没错，就是传说中的九尾天狐。
Many of his close friends, upon receiving the invitation, first instructed their disciples to buy a calendar, wondering if today was April Fool’s Day. When they confirmed it wasn't, some cautious individuals even used flying swords to send messages to Senior Daoist Nailedong for verification before coming to Penglai Immortal Island to witness this unprecedented event.
rán ér qīng qiū guó zhǔ shì yàn jué sān jiè méi cuò ， kě yào lùn dào mèi lì ， qiān qiān xiān zi kǒng pà què yào shèng shàng yī chóu 。
然而青丘国主是艳绝三界没错，可要论到魅力，芊芊仙子恐怕却要胜上一筹。
Upon meeting Senior Daoist Nailedong, the guests congratulated him but also teased him good-naturedly. They were all mid-stage Tribulation Transcending powerhouses, some even late-stage old monsters, with a million-year-old relationship with him.
méi cuò ， jiù shì mèi lì 。
没错，就是魅力。
Senior Daoist Nailedong laughed along, showing no sign of his later-stage power.
yǔ měi lì bù tóng ， suǒ wèi de mèi lì ， chú le róng mào shēn cái 。 zhè zuì jī běn de tiáo jiàn yǐ wài ， hái bāo kuò ài hào ， xìng gé ， dài rén jiē wù ， děng gè fāng miàn de dōng dōng 。 kě yǐ shuō ， shì yī zōng hé sù zhì dì kǎo hé 。
与美丽不同，所谓的魅力，除了容貌身材。这最基本的条件以外，还包括爱好，性格，待人接物，等各方面的东东。可以说，是一综合素质的考核。
"Big Brother Nailedong, I heard that when you pursued Sister Qianqian, it was full of twists and turns. You were even expelled from her cave several times," a man's playful voice entered their ears. The man looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, but he had merely used his youth-preserving technique; in reality, he was at the mid-stage Tribulation Transcending level.
jiǔ wěi tiān hú shì hěn měi méi cuò 。 rán ér táng táng de qīng qiū guó zhǔ ， sān jiè zuì dǐng jí de cún zài ， bié de bù tí ， guāng shì zhè shēn fèn jiù gāo bù kě pān 。
九尾天狐是很美没错。然而堂堂的青丘国主，三界最顶级的存在，别的不提，光是这身份就高不可攀。
"Yes, big brother, you said that this life, you would revel in the flower bed. How quickly did your initial intention change?" The one who teased Senior Daoist Nailedong was a young woman. Despite their familiarity and good relationship, it was purely platonic.
pǔ tōng xiū xiān zhě ， nà shì nán yǐ jiàn shàng yí miàn 。
普通修仙者，那是难以见上一面。
Indeed, with his reputation as the top playboy in the three realms, he had countless female cultivators in his past, but those were all in the past. Today marked his union with Fairy Qianqian; how could Senior Daoist Nailedong invite women who had any connection to him here? Unless he was being unreasonable.
dù jié jí bié de dà néng huò xǔ yǒu jī huì ， dàn nǎ pà shì hòu qī cún zài ， jiàn dào zhè sān dà yāo wáng zhī yī ， yì bān lái shuō ， yě huì gǎn jué zì jǐ xùn le yī chóu 。
渡劫级别的大能或许有机会，但哪怕是后期存在，见到这三大妖王之一，一般来说，也会感觉自己逊了一筹。
"Indeed, big brother, what kind of woman is your future sister-in-law that you don't want to introduce us?" Another voice entered their ears.
shuō zì bēi yǒu xiē tài guò ， dàn yào shuō zhuī qiú ， nà yě dàng zhēn shì méi yǒu shén me yǒng qì de 。
说自卑有些太过，但要说追求，那也当真是没有什么勇气的。
The other cultivators around them looked curious. While Fairy Qianqian was indeed a mid-stage Tribulation Transcending powerhouse, her previous anonymity made it hard for them to have heard of her before.
ér qiān qiān xiān zi bù tóng ， rèn hé rén yǔ tā zài yì qǐ dū huì gǎn jué rú mù chūn fēng ， zhì yú róng mào ， gù rán shì bù jí jiǔ wěi tiān hú ， dàn yě shì yī děng yī de jué sè měi nǚ méi cuò 。
而芊芊仙子不同，任何人与她在一起都会感觉如沐春风，至于容貌，固然是不及九尾天狐，但也是一等一的绝色美女没错。
Now, she had suddenly emerged and caused Senior Daoist Nailedong to change his ways, leading him to consider marriage. What kind of extraordinary woman could subdue even Senior Daoist Nailedong?
The expanse of the cloud sea was vast, stretching out endlessly as one gazed upon it. Jade pavilions and palaces were hidden among the misty clouds, adding to its mysterious allure.
Distant buildings could not be clearly seen, but closer structures such as terraces and pavilions were marvels of beauty and grandeur.
