“ bú shì ， bú shì 。”
“不是，不是。”
"No, no."
nài lóng zhēn rén de cǎn jiào nà jiào yí gè yǐn rén cè mù ：“ lǎo pó ， zěn me kě néng ne ， wǒ zǎo jiù shuō guò ， zhè bèi zi zhǐ ài nǐ yí gè ， āi yō ， qīng diǎn ， zhè me duō dào yǒu zài páng biān ， nǐ yě gěi wǒ liú diǎn miàn zi hǎo me ？”
鼐龙真人的惨叫那叫一个引人侧目：“老婆，怎么可能呢，我早就说过，这辈子只爱你一个，哎哟，轻点，这么多道友在旁边，你也给我留点面子好么？”
Master Nael Dragon's agonized cry drew everyone's attention: "Honey, how could this be? I've always said that in this life, you're the only one for me. Ouch, be gentle, there are so many friends around; give me some face!"
“ miàn zi ， shuí ràng nǐ yǐ qián nà me huāng táng wú chǐ de 。”
“面子，谁让你以前那么荒唐无耻的。”
"Face? It was your fault for being so shameless before."
qiān qiān xiān zi zuǐ shàng zhè yàng shuō ， dào dǐ hái shì jiāng nài lóng zhēn rén de ěr duǒ gěi fàng kāi le 。
芊芊仙子嘴上这样说，到底还是将鼐龙真人的耳朵给放开了。
Though Qianqian Fairy's words were harsh, she still released Master Nael Dragon's ears.
zhōu wéi ， suǒ yǒu de hè kè wú bù kàn dé chēng mù jié shé ， lián guǎng hán zhēn rén yǔ qīng qiū guó zhǔ dōu dāi le ， rěn xiào rěn dé hěn xīn kǔ 。
周围，所有的贺客无不看得瞠目结舌，连广寒真人与青丘国主都呆了，忍笑忍得很辛苦。
Around them, all guests were stunned, even Broad Cold Immortal and Queen of Qingqiu found it hard to suppress their laughter.
yǎn qián zhè yí mù ， shí zài shì ràng rén rěn jùn bù zhù ， rán ér ruò shì zhè yàng xiào chū lái ， wèi miǎn yòu tài bù gěi nài lóng zhēn rén miàn zi le 。
眼前这一幕，实在是让人忍俊不住，然而若是这样笑出来，未免又太不给鼐龙真人面子了。
This scene was too amusing to resist, but laughing at such a moment would be disrespectful to Master Nael Dragon.
zhòng lǎo guài wù wú nài zhī yú ， zhǐ hǎo pīn mìng yùn zhuàn fǎ lì ， jiāng zì jǐ de jīng mài fēng zhù ， rú cǐ ， cái zǒng suàn méi yǒu xiào chū shēng lái le 。
众老怪物无奈之余，只好拼命运转法力，将自己的经脉封住，如此，才总算没有笑出声来了。
The old immortals could only force themselves to seal their meridians with their cultivation techniques, managing not to burst out in laughter.
“ qiān qiān ， wǒ zhēn de zhǐ ài nǐ yí gè 。”
“芊芊，我真的只爱你一个。”
"Qianqian, I really love you alone."
nài lóng zhēn rén què máng zhe hǒng lǎo pó ， xīn zhōng yù mèn bù yǐ ， zhè lín xiǎo zi zhāo fēng yǐn dié ， dǎo méi de ， zěn me què shì zì jǐ 。
鼐龙真人却忙着哄老婆，心中郁闷不已，这林小子招蜂引蝶，倒霉的，怎么却是自己。
Master Nael Dragon was busy comforting his wife, feeling extremely depressed. This Lin Xuan had been attracting bees and butterflies; why did it end up being him?
hái yǒu méi yǒu tiān lǐ 。
还有没有天理。
Is there any justice left?
zài shuō lìng yī biān 。
再说另一边。
On the other side,
lín xuān yě jué de qì fēn guǐ yì ， gù bù shàng rén duō ， xiǎng yào jiě shì jǐ jù ， bù guò tā de jiě shì ， nà shì hěn yǒu cè lüè dì 。
林轩也觉得气氛诡异，顾不上人多，想要解释几句，不过他的解释，那是很有策略地。
Lin Xuan also felt the atmosphere strange. Ignoring the crowd, he wanted to explain a bit, but his explanation was strategic.
“ xiāng ér ， wǒ gěi nǐ jiè shào yī xià ， xià hóu lán ， wǒ de jié bài mèi mèi ， yǐ hòu kě shì nǐ de xiǎo gū zi 。”
“香儿，我给你介绍一下，夏侯兰，我的结拜妹妹，以后可是你的小姑子。”
"Xiang'er, let me introduce you to Xiahou Lan, my sworn sister. She will be your aunt in the future."
“ lán ér ， zhè shì xiāng ér ， yǔ wǒ yǐ jīng yǒu bái shǒu zhī yuē ， yǐ hòu jiù shì nǐ sǎo zi 。”
“兰儿，这是香儿，与我已经有白首之约，以后就是你嫂子。”
"Lan'er, this is Xiang'er; we have a lifelong bond, and she will be your sister-in-law."
zhè jiè shào ， jiǎn dān míng liǎo yǐ jí ， liǎng jù huà yī chū ， zhòng lǎo guài wù dōu lián lián diǎn tóu ， zài xīn zhōng “ ó ” le yī shēng ， yuán lái tā yǔ liǎng nǚ ， shì zhè yàng de guān xì 。
这介绍，简单明了以极，两句话一出，众老怪物都连连点头，在心中“哦”了一声，原来他与两女，是这样的关系。
His introduction was straightforward, leaving the old immortals nodding in agreement as they mentally sighed, "Ah." He had such a relationship with these two women.
zhè ge niàn tou gāng gāng zhuǎn guò ， què yòu xīn zhōng yī jīng 。
这个念头刚刚转过，却又心中一惊。
Just as that thought crossed his mind, he suddenly felt alarmed.
děng děng ， zhè liǎng gè shào nǚ ， xiū wèi zàn qiě bù tí ， dàn què fēn bié shì jiǔ wěi tiān hú hái yǒu qīng qiū guó zhǔ jí wéi qīn jìn de rén wù ， bú shì xuè qīn hòu bèi ， yě shì mén rén dì zǐ 。
等等，这两个少女，修为暂且不提，但却分别是九尾天狐还有青丘国主极为亲近的人物，不是血亲后辈，也是门人弟子。
Wait, these two young ladies might not have high cultivation levels now, but both were close to Nine-tailed Fox and Queen of Qingqiu. They weren't blood relatives or juniors; they were disciples.
zhè lín xiǎo zi yǔ liǎng nǚ shì zhè zhǒng guān xì ， nà rú cǐ yī lái ， tā qǐ bù shì yě jiù biàn xiàng de chéng wéi le sàn xiān yāo wáng de qīn qī 。
这林小子与两女是这种关系，那如此一来，他岂不是也就变相的成为了散仙妖王的亲戚。
This Lin Xuan had such a relationship with the two women, which meant he was indirectly related to the Demon King and Nael Dragon Immortal.
hái yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén chēng xiōng dào dì 。
还与鼐龙真人称兄道弟。
Did this little guy really have a spirit realm?
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， zhè xiǎo jiā huo ， zhēn shì fēn shén qī me ？
有没有搞错，这小家伙，真是分神期么？
Even if it were a Great Power of Transcending Tribulation, few would be so bold.
jiù suàn shì dù jié qī dà néng ， yě shǎo yǒu zhè yàng biāo hàn de 。
就算是渡劫期大能，也少有这样彪悍的。
The old immortals envied and resented him. Those who had planned to cause trouble for Lin Xuan after his wedding on Penglai Immortal Island quietly abandoned their plans.
zhòng lǎo guài yòu xiàn yòu dù ， yuán běn yǒu shǎo shù ， xiǎng yào děng hūn lǐ jié shù ， lín xuān lí kāi péng lái xiān dǎo hòu ， qù zhǎo tā má fán de jiā huo ， yě quán bù qiāo qiāo dǎ xiāo yuán lái de niàn tou le 。
众老怪又羡又妒，原本有少数，想要等婚礼结束，林轩离开蓬莱仙岛后，去找他麻烦的家伙，也全部悄悄打消原来的念头了。
Lin Xuan's exact strength was still unknown, but with such relationships with a Demon King and Nael Dragon Immortal, causing trouble would be like an old man hanging himself—crazy.
zhè lín xuān jù tǐ shí lì rú hé ， zàn qiě bù tí ， xiàn zài dōu hái shì yí gè wèi zhī zhī mí ， dàn jiù píng tā yǔ sàn xiān yāo wáng hái yǒu nài lóng zhēn rén zhè yàng de guān xì ， zhǎo tā má fán ？
这林轩具体实力如何，暂且不提，现在都还是一个未知之谜，但就凭他与散仙妖王还有鼐龙真人这样的关系，找他麻烦？
Be careful; Lin Xuan might not get into any trouble, but he could drag you into a huge whirlpool.
nà bú shì lǎo shòu xīng shàng diào ， nǎo dài yǒu wèn tí 。
那不是老寿星上吊，脑袋有问题。
This little guy had such a powerful background. It wasn't worth stirring up trouble with him.
xiǎo xīn lín xiǎo zi méi shì ， què jiāng zì jǐ juǎn jìn jù dà de xuán wō lǐ 。
小心林小子没事，却将自己卷进巨大的漩涡里。
Lin Xuan's explanation seemed to have worked as the sorrow in Xiang'er's eyes vanished, replaced by a sweet smile.
zhè lín xiǎo zi bèi jǐng rú cǐ liǎo de ， nǎ shì yì bān dù jié qī cún zài néng gòu zhāo rě ， hái shì bú yào méi shì ér zhǎo shì ér le 。
这林小子背景如此了得，哪是一般渡劫期存在能够招惹，还是不要没事儿找事儿了。
Xiang'er was now at the Spirit Realm stage; compared to when she was born, her tail had grown to six, making her a Six-tailed Spirit Fox. With such beauty, it could turn anyone's head.
ér lín xuān de jiě shì ， xiǎn rán yě qǐ dào le xiào guǒ ， xiāng ér yǎn zhōng de wěi qū xiāo shī bú jiàn le ， qǔ ér dài zhī de tián tián de xiào yì 。
而林轩的解释，显然也起到了效果，香儿眼中的委屈消失不见了，取而代之的甜甜的笑意。
She had the power to make even the moon hide its face and fish sink to the bottom of the sea.
xiāng ér rú jīn yǐ shì fēn shén qī ， yǔ chū shēng shí xiāng bǐ ， wěi ba yǐ jīng yǒu le liù tiáo zhī duō ， suǒ wèi liù wěi líng hú ， nà yě shì néng gòu diān dǎo zhòng shēng de 。
香儿如今已是分神期，与出生时相比，尾巴已经有了六条之多，所谓六尾灵狐，那也是能够颠倒众生的。
This Demon Fox clan's strength was directly proportional to the number of tails; with more tails, their appearance would naturally change.
shuō yǒu bì yuè xiū huā ， chén yú luò yàn zhī róng ， nà shì yì diǎn yě bù wèi guò 。
说有闭月羞花，沉鱼落雁之容，那是一点也不为过。
If Xiang'er ever reached nine tails, she might be as beautiful as her master.
yào shuō zhè yāo hú yī zú ， bù jǐn shí lì yǔ wěi sì de shù liàng chéng zhèng bǐ ， jiù suàn shì róng mào ， yě huì yǔ yīn wèi wěi ba de zēng duō ， ér zài yuán yǒu de jī chǔ shàng ， fā shēng yī xiē biàn huà 。
要说这妖狐一族，不仅实力与尾巳的数量成正比，就算是容貌，也会与因为尾巴的增多，而在原有的基础上，发生一些变化。
That smile left everyone speechless. Many old immortals at the Tribulation Stage drooled and sighed in regret. If they met such a woman elsewhere, they would surely try to marry her as a concubine. But since this girl was a disciple of Nine-tailed Fox, they couldn't even think about it; otherwise, they'd be asking for trouble.
ruò xiāng ér yǒu zhāo yī rì ， néng gòu jìn jiē ， chéng wéi jiǔ wěi tiān hú ， nà me měi mào ， jiāng huì bù xùn sè yú tā de shī fù 。
若香儿有朝一日，能够进阶，成为九尾天狐，那么美貌，将会不逊色于她的师傅。
But Lin Xuan's audacity was truly breathtaking—daring to show such closeness with the disciple of Nine-tailed Fox. Could it be that Princess New Moon had given her permission?
zhè yī xiào ， dàng zhēn shì ràng bǎi huā wèi zhī shī sè ， bù shǎo dù jié qī lǎo guài wù dōu kǒu shuǐ zhí liú ， àn tàn kě xī ， ruò shì néng zài qí tā dì fāng yù jiàn zhè yàng piào liàng de nǚ zǐ ， kěn dìng huì xiǎng fāng shè fǎ ， qǔ lái zuò zì jǐ shì qiè dì ， rán ér cǐ nǚ shì jiǔ wěi tiān hú de dì zǐ ， zì rán bù gǎn cún zhè niàn xiǎng le ， fǒu zé qǐ bù shì zhǎo sǐ ？
这一笑，当真是让百花为之失色，不少渡劫期老怪物都口水直流，暗叹可惜，若是能在其他地方遇见这样漂亮的女子，肯定会想方设法，娶来做自己侍妾地，然而此女是九尾天狐的弟子，自然不敢存这念想了，否则岂不是找死？
Everyone looked at Nine-tailed Fox as she approached and bowed deeply: "Youngster, I've met you before."
bù guò zhè lín xiǎo zi dàng zhēn shì dǎn dà bāo tiān ， lián jiǔ wěi tiān hú de dì zǐ ， yě gǎn biǎo xiàn dé zhè me qīn mì ， nán dào tā men liǎng gè de shì ， shì qīng qiū guó zhǔ mò xǔ 。
不过这林小子当真是胆大包天，连九尾天狐的弟子，也敢表现得这么亲密，难道他们两个的事，是青丘国主默许。
"Mmm, not bad,"
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， dà jiā bù yuē ér tóng ， xiàng yī páng de jiǔ wěi tiān hú wàng qù 。
想到这里，大家不约而同，像一旁的九尾天狐望去。
Nine-tailed Fox's melodious laughter echoed in his ears, filled with approval.
pèng qiǎo lín xuān de yě shàng qián yī bù ， chōng zhe jiǔ wěi tiān hú shēn shēn yī yī ：“ wǎn bèi jiàn guò guó zhǔ 。”
碰巧林轩的也上前一步，冲着九尾天狐深深一揖：“晚辈见过国主。”
"Two thousand years have passed since our last meeting. Your strength has improved a level; no, it's more than that. The power within your body is several times greater than the last time. It's not possible to advance from Spirit Realm Middle Stage to Late Stage just like that. You must be diligent in cultivation and had some extraordinary experiences."
“ ń ， bù cuò ， bù cuò 。”
“嗯，不错，不错。”
"Senior flatters me,"
jiǔ wěi tiān hú yín líng bān de xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shēng yīn zhōng míng xiǎn dài zhe jǐ fēn zàn xǔ zhī sè ：“ shàng cì yī bié ， yǒu liǎng qiān nián le ， yǔ shàng huí jiàn miàn xiāng bǐ ， nǐ de shí lì yòu jìn le yī jí ， yí ， bú duì ， bù zhǐ shì yī jí ， nǐ tǐ nèi de fǎ lì ， bǐ shàng cì shēn hòu le shù bèi yǒu yú ， zhè kě bú shì cóng fēn shén zhōng qī jìn jiē dào fēn shén hòu qī néng gòu bàn dào dì ， kàn lái nǐ xiǎo zi bù jǐn xiū xíng kè kǔ ， hái lìng yǒu qí yù 。”
九尾天狐银铃般的笑声传入耳朵，声音中明显带着几分赞许之色：“上次一别，有两千年了，与上回见面相比，你的实力又晋了一级，咦，不对，不止是一级，你体内的法力，比上次深厚了数倍有余，这可不是从分神中期进阶到分神后期能够办到地，看来你小子不仅修行刻苦，还另有奇遇。”
Lin Xuan remained humble despite Nine-tailed Fox's praise.
“ qián bèi miù zàn le 。”
“前辈谬赞了。”
This demeanor impressed the old immortals present.
miàn duì jiǔ wěi tiān hú de zàn xǔ ， lín xuān de biǎo qíng ， yī jiù shì bù kàng bù bēi dì 。
面对九尾天狐的赞许，林轩的表情，依旧是不亢不卑地。
"You're Lin Xiao? "
zhè fèn xīn xìng ， ràng zài chǎng de dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， yě àn àn pèi fú bù yǐ 。
这份心性，让在场的渡劫期老怪物，也暗暗佩服不已。
Before Lin Xuan could finish his greeting with Queen of Qingqiu, Broad Cold Immortal's voice interrupted him. This surprised Lin Xuan; he had no connection to Broad Cold Immortal and was planning to pay respects only after meeting Nine-tailed Fox.
“ nǐ jiù shì lín xiǎo zi ？”
“你就是林小子？”
Why did the other ask about him first?
lín xuān shàng zài yǔ qīng qiū guó zhǔ jiàn lǐ ， yī páng guǎng hán zhēn rén de shēng yīn yòu chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
林轩尚在与青丘国主见礼，一旁广寒真人的声音又传入耳朵。
Could it be because Xiahou Lan mentioned him to her father?
ràng lín xuān yě bù yóu de dà gǎn jīng è ， tā zì wèn yǔ guǎng hán zhēn rén kě shì yì diǎn dōu bù shú ， yuán běn dǎ suàn cān bài wán jiǔ wěi tiān hú ， cái qù jiàn lǐ yī èr de 。
让林轩也不由得大感惊愕，他自问与广寒真人可是一点都不熟，原本打算参拜完九尾天狐，才去见礼一二的。
Lin Xuan felt a bit alarmed but also curious, where was Princess New Moon?
méi xiǎng dào duì fāng què xiān wèn shàng le zì jǐ 。
没想到对方却先问上了自己。
Lin Xuan wasn't just an ordinary cultivator in the mortal realm; his strength and experience had greatly improved. He could hardly compare himself to his former self.
nán dào shì yīn wèi xià hóu lán de yuán gù ？
难道是因为夏侯兰的缘故？
He immediately noticed that Xiahou Lan's current state was vastly different from before—not only her increased power but also that she no longer shared a body with New Moon, now having separate bodies.
xiǎo mèi zài tā fù qīn miàn qián tí guò zì jǐ ？
小妹在她父亲面前提过自己？
Despite this curiosity, Lin Xuan didn't find it too surprising; after all, as an Immortal of the Spirit Realm, separating two souls should be within his capabilities. He had his methods.
lín xuān àn àn yǒu xiē jīng yì ， tóng shí yòu shí fēn hào qí ， nà me xīn yuè gōng zhǔ zài nǎ lǐ ？
林轩暗暗有些惊异，同时又十分好奇，那么新月公主在哪里？
Xiahou Lan and New Moon being one soul in two bodies were essentially the same person. Even with Broad Cold Immortal's help, they now had separate bodies but remained part of his daughter. Thus, if Xiahou Lan mentioned him to her father, it wouldn't be strange.
lín xuān rú jīn ， kě bú shì zài rén jiè shí de xiǎo xiū xiān zhě ， shí lì jiàn shí bǐ dāng chū ， dōu gāo le bù zhī fán jǐ ， shuō bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ ， nà yě háo bù wèi guò 。
林轩如今，可不是在人界时的小修仙者，实力见识比当初，都高了不知凡几，说不可同日而语，那也毫不为过。
Lin Xuan's thoughts raced as Broad Cold Immortal continued.
zì rán yī yǎn jiù kàn chū ， rú jīn de xià hóu lán ， yǔ dāng chū ， yǐ jīng wán quán bù tóng ， bìng bù jǐn jǐn shì shí lì tí gāo le ， guān jiàn zài yú ， tā bù zài shì yī tǐ liǎng pò ， yǔ nà xīn yuè gòng yòng yí gè shēn tǐ le 。
自然一眼就看出，如今的夏侯兰，与当初，已经完全不同，并不仅仅是实力提高了，关键在于，她不再是一体两魄，与那新月共用一个身体了。
"You don't need to speculate; both New Moon and Lan'er have spoken about you. But I remember you not because of your daughters but due to Flower Power Friend..."
bù guò hào qí guī hào qí ， lín xuān yě méi yǒu gǎn dào tài guò bù kě sī yì ， bì jìng yǐ sàn xiān de shí lì ， xiǎng yào bāng nǚ ér jiāng liǎng gè hún pò fēn kāi ， yīng gāi yě bù suàn tài nán 。
不过好奇归好奇，林轩也没有感到太过不可思议，毕竟以散仙的实力，想要帮女儿将两个魂魄分开，应该也不算太难。
Lin Xuan was taken aback; the other had guessed his thoughts entirely. No wonder he was an old immortal who lived for millions of years, with deep scheming like the sea. He needed to be cautious when conversing with such beings.
kěn dìng yǒu zì jǐ de shǒu duàn 。
肯定有自己的手段。
Though reminded, Lin Xuan still showed respect and a hint of surprise: "Flower Power Friend, you mean Fairy Flower? How is her injury, has she recovered?"
"No, no."
Master Nael Dragon's agonized cry drew everyone's attention: "Honey, how could this be? I've always said that in this life, you're the only one for me. Ouch, be gentle, there are so many friends around; give me some face!"
"Face? It was your fault for being so shameless before."
Though Qianqian Fairy's words were harsh, she still released Master Nael Dragon's ears.
Around them, all guests were stunned, even Broad Cold Immortal and Queen of Qingqiu found it hard to suppress their laughter.
This scene was too amusing to resist, but laughing at such a moment would be disrespectful to Master Nael Dragon.
The old immortals could only force themselves to seal their meridians with their cultivation techniques, managing not to burst out in laughter.
"Qianqian, I really love you alone."
Master Nael Dragon was busy comforting his wife, feeling extremely depressed. This Lin Xuan had been attracting bees and butterflies; why did it end up being him?
Is there any justice left?
On the other side,
Lin Xuan also felt the atmosphere strange. Ignoring the crowd, he wanted to explain a bit, but his explanation was strategic.
"Xiang'er, let me introduce you to Xiahou Lan, my sworn sister. She will be your aunt in the future."
"Lan'er, this is Xiang'er; we have a lifelong bond, and she will be your sister-in-law."
His introduction was straightforward, leaving the old immortals nodding in agreement as they mentally sighed, "Ah." He had such a relationship with these two women.
