ruò shì bié de xiū shì yù dào le ， fēi gǎn xiè shàng tiān de ēn cì bù kě 。.
若是别的修士遇到了，非感谢上天的恩赐不可。.
If it were any other cultivator, they would be eternally grateful for the heavens' favor.
rán ér qín xīn de xīn qíng ， què shì fēi cháng máo dùn de 。
然而琴心的心情，却是非常矛盾的。
However, Qīn Xīn's mood was very conflicted.
yì fāng miàn ， zuò wèi xiū xiān zhě ， tā rú hé bù zhī dào líng jiè de hǎo chù ， xiū xiān zhī lù ， kěn dìng néng gòu zài jìn yí bù ， gù ér tā de xīn qíng yě shì shí fēn huān xǐ de 。
一方面，做为修仙者，她如何不知道灵界的好处，修仙之路，肯定能够再进一步，故而她的心情也是十分欢喜的。
On one hand, as a cultivator, she knew all too well the benefits of the Spirit Realm. The path to cultivation could certainly take her further, and thus she felt extremely joyful. On the other hand, her dual-cultivation partner did not have such an opportunity; being separated from her beloved was naturally painful. Although the resources in the Spirit Realm were abundant, from now on, she would be alone.
kě lìng yì fāng miàn ， zì jǐ de shuāng xiū dào lǚ ， què méi yǒu zhè yàng de jī yuán ， yǔ ài rén fēn kāi ， zì rán shí fēn tòng kǔ ， líng jiè zī yuán suī rán fēng fù ， kě cóng cǐ yǐ hòu ， zì jǐ què xíng dān yǐng zhī le 。
可另一方面，自己的双修道侣，却没有这样的机缘，与爱人分开，自然十分痛苦，灵界资源虽然丰富，可从此以后，自己却形单影只了。
Although theoretically, it was possible for them to meet again someday, that was too difficult. Talents emerged endlessly in the human world, and only a few could ascend to the Spirit Realm. Moreover, even if Lin Xuan had truly ascended here, meeting him would be incredibly challenging. Perhaps they would never see each other again.
suī rán lǐ lùn shàng ， tā yě yǒu kě néng yǔ lín xuān chóng féng 。
虽然理论上，她也有可能与林轩重逢。
Every time she thought of this, Qīn Xīn felt extremely despondent. But since things had come to this point, regret was useless. The only thing she could do was focus on cultivation. Her husband was no ordinary cultivator; perhaps he truly had the chance to ascend to the Spirit Realm. In other words, although the chances of reuniting were slim, as long as she lived well, there was still hope.
rán ér nà tài nán le 。
然而那太难了。
However, a thousand years passed, and her husband's whereabouts remained unknown. Later, by sheer luck, she ended up in the hands of Fairy Míngyuán. Although she had no worries about food or clothing, and the resources for cultivation were abundant, fortune turned into misfortune; from then on, her fate was tied to someone else.
fàng yǎn rén jiè ， tiān cái bèi chū ， kě néng gòu fēi shēng dào líng jiè de cái jǐ gè 。
放眼人界，天才辈出，可能够飞升到灵界的才几个。
The Heavenly Sound Palace was a massive place, and Fairy Míngyuán herself was a powerful cultivator who had passed through the Tribulation. Although Qīn Xīn's strength had progressed rapidly over the years, she could not hope to escape her grasp.
gèng bú yào shuō líng jiè miàn jī guǎng bó ， jiù suàn lín xuān zhēn fēi shēng dào le cǐ chù ， xiǎng yào chóng féng ， nà yě shì qiān nán wàn nán de 。
更不要说灵界面积广博，就算林轩真飞升到了此处，想要重逢，那也是千难万难的。
Qīn Xīn was no weak woman, but human resources were limited. At this point, she almost resigned herself to her fate.
yě xǔ fū qī liǎ cóng cǐ jiù tiān gè yī fāng ， yǒng yuǎn zài nán yǒu jù shǒu de yī kè 。
也许夫妻俩从此就天各一方，永远再难有聚首的一刻。
However, things in the cultivation world are unpredictable. When Fairy Míngyuán went out on a mission, Senior Sister Qín risked her life to help. The situation seemed to turn for the better, and it looked like they could escape.
měi xiǎng dào cǐ chù ， qín xīn jiù àn rán yǐ jí 。
每想到此处，琴心就黯然以极。
But just as the cicada's trap was set, the mantis fell into another one. Several of Fairy Míngyuán's disciples, who had always been at odds with her, saw Qín's intentions and played a game of瓮中捉鳖 (catching a turtle in a jar). The situation took a sharp turn for the worse; being surrounded by several people, escaping from the Heavenly Sound Palace was now impossible.
rán ér shì yǐ zhì cǐ ， ào nǎo yě méi yǒu yòng chǔ 。
然而事已至此，懊恼也没有用处。
Well, perhaps this was fate. Qīn Xīn's eyes were filled with despair. She no longer held any hope of escaping.
tā néng zuò de ， jiù shì hǎo hǎo xiū xíng 。
她能做的，就是好好修行。
But how could she drag Senior Sister Qín into this?
fū jūn bú shì xún cháng de xiū xiān zhě ， yě xǔ zhēn yǒu fēi shēng dào líng jiè de yī kè 。
夫君不是寻常的修仙者，也许真有飞升到灵界的一刻。
Qīn Xīn was a cultivator who knew right from wrong and had made up her mind to fight her way out, even if it meant dying, so that Senior Sister Qín might have the chance to escape.
huàn jù huà shuō ， chóng féng de xī wàng suī rán bù duō ， dàn zhǐ yào zì jǐ hǎo hǎo huó zhe ， zǒng hái shì yǒu de 。
换句话说，重逢的希望虽然不多，但只要自己好好活着，总还是有的。
However, it was easier said than done. With a resolve to die, Qīn Xīn prepared for battle!
rán ér qiān nián de guāng yīn guò qù le ， fū jūn yī jiù xíng zōng liǎo wú 。
然而千年的光阴过去了，夫君依旧行踪了无。
But at this moment, an unbelievable scene unfolded. Just as fate seemed to be against her, her husband actually appeared here.
hòu lái ， jī yuán qiǎo hé ， tā gèng luò zài le miào yīn xiān zi de shǒu zhōng ， suī yī shí wú yōu ， xiū xiān de zī yuán gèng shì fēng hòu ， dàn fú xī huò suǒ yī ， cóng cǐ zì jǐ de mìng yùn ， què xì zài le bié rén de shǒu lǐ 。
后来，机缘巧合，她更落在了妙音仙子的手中，虽衣食无忧，修仙的资源更是丰厚，但福兮祸所依，从此自己的命运，却系在了别人的手里。
Qīn Xīn almost could not believe what she saw with her own eyes. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
tiān yīn gōng nǎi páng rán dà wù ， miào yīn xiān zi gèng shì dù jié qī de dà néng xiū xiān zhě 。
天音宫乃庞然大物，妙音仙子更是渡劫期的大能修仙者。
The heavens were indeed kind; meeting Lin Xuan again now was enough for her to die contentedly.
zì jǐ zhè qiān nián lái shí lì suī jìn zhǎn xùn sù ， dàn bù kě néng yǒu jī huì bǎi tuō tā de 。
自己这千年来实力虽进展迅速，但不可能有机会摆脱她的。
For a moment, Qīn Xīn felt as if she were in a dream. But soon, her tender emotions turned into concern.
qín xīn bú shì ruǎn ruò de nǚ zǐ ， kě rén lì yǒu shí ér qióng ， shì qíng fā zhǎn dào zhè yī bù ， tā chà bu duō yǐ jīng rèn mìng le 。
琴心不是软弱的女子，可人力有时而穷，事情发展到这一步，她差不多已经认命了。
With the situation so perilous, would coming here not drag her husband into this?
kě xiū xiān jiè de shì qíng ， shuí yě shuō bù qīng chǔ 。
可修仙界的事情，谁也说不清楚。
Her death was nothing to be afraid of, but how could she let him share her fate of soul and body scattering apart?
miào yīn yǒu shì wài chū ， qín shī mèi mào sǐ chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， shì qíng chū xiàn le zhuǎn jī ， yǎn kàn zhe yǐ néng táo chū le shēng tiān qù 。
妙音有事外出，秦师妹冒死出手相助，事情出现了转机，眼看着已能逃出了生天去。
"Dear, you...you must leave quickly."
rán ér táng láng bǔ chán huáng què zài hòu ， miào yīn de jǐ míng dì zǐ ， xiàng lái yǔ zì jǐ bù hé ， qín shī mèi de yì tú ， luò zài tā men yǎn lǐ ， zhè jǐ gè jiā huo wán qǐ le wèng zhōng zhuō biē de zhǔ yì 。
然而螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后，妙音的几名弟子，向来与自己不和，秦师妹的意图，落在他们眼里，这几个家伙玩起了瓮中捉鳖的主意。
As they say, worry can cloud one's judgment. Qīn Xīn's face was filled with anxiety.
xíng shì jí zhuǎn zhí xià ， jì yǐ bèi jǐ rén wéi zhù ， xiǎng yào táo chū tiān yīn gōng zì rán shì jué wú kě néng le 。
形势急转直下，既已被几人围住，想要逃出天音宫自然是绝无可能了。
"It is too late to leave," a cold voice entered her ears. The middle-aged woman's face was full of mockery as she looked at Lin Xuan and spoke each word clearly: "You have the audacity to sneak into my Heavenly Sound Palace, plotting mischief. You must be prepared to die for it. You and Qīn Xīn are a pair of doomed lovers."
bà le ， yě xǔ zì jǐ mìng gāi rú cǐ ， qín xīn yǎn zhōng yǐ mǎn shì jué wàng zhī yì ， duì yú táo chū shēng tiān ， tā yǐ bù bào rèn hé xī wàng le 。
罢了，也许自己命该如此，琴心眼中已满是绝望之意，对于逃出生天，她已不抱任何希望了。
"Is that so?"
zhǐ shì ， zěn me néng jiāng qín shī mèi lián lěi zài zhè lǐ 。
只是，怎么能将秦师妹连累在这里。
Lin Xuan did not get angry but laughed in surprise. A mere Spirit Diversion cultivator dared to threaten him; this was sheer foolishness.
qín xīn shì ēn yuàn fēn míng de xiū xiān zhě ， yǐ xià dìng jué xīn ， jiù suàn zì jǐ yǔn luò ， yě yào shā chū yī tiáo xuè lù ， ràng qín shī mèi yǒu jī huì táo tuō 。
琴心是恩怨分明的修仙者，已下定决心，就算自己陨落，也要杀出一条血路，让秦师妹有机会逃脱。
Of course, saying that Senior Sister was reckless had its reasons. Lin Xuan turned his head and no longer practiced concealing his aura, gradually releasing the immense spiritual pressure.
rán ér shuō shuō róng yì ， zhēn xiǎng yào zuò dào ， què shì qiān nán wàn nán de 。
然而说说容易，真想要做到，却是千难万难的。
Boom!
qín xīn yǐ bào dìng bì sǐ de jué xīn le ！
琴心已抱定必死的决心了！
The surrounding Spirit Diversion cultivators stepped back several steps, their knees trembling, almost collapsing to the ground. The arrogant expressions on their faces vanished, replaced by fear and trepidation. The middle-aged woman trembled as she pointed at Lin Xuan: "You...are an old monster who has passed through the Tribulation?"
kě jiù zài zhè shí ， gèng bù kě sī yì de yí mù chū xiàn le 。
可就在这时，更不可思议的一幕出现了。
"Indeed," Lin Xuan's voice was calm. But the woman had already been terrified to death; how could she dare to respond?
zài zhè qiān jūn yī fà zhī jì ， fū jūn jū rán lái dào le zhè lǐ 。
在这千钧一发之际，夫君居然来到了这里。
"What, husband? You are a Tribulation cultivator now?" Qīn Xīn's surprised voice entered her ears, and her face was equally filled with disbelief.
qín xīn jī hū bù xiāng xìn zì jǐ de shuāng mù 。
琴心几乎不相信自己的双目。
Remembering when they parted ways in the human world, he was only at the late Core Formation stage. Ascending to the Spirit Realm was already remarkable; how could it be possible for him to have progressed from there to the Tribulation level in just a few thousand years?
tiān dǐ xià zěn me huì yǒu zhè yàng de qiǎo hé ？
天底下怎么会有这样的巧合？
After all, she possessed the Nine-Spirit Body and had been fully supported by Fairy Míngyuán, with abundant medicinal pills without any letup. She had only reached Spirit Diversion.
shàng tiān dài zì jǐ zhēn shì bù báo ， néng zài zhè shí hòu yǔ lín xuān xiāng féng ， jiù suàn yǔn luò ， tā yě xīn mǎn yì zú 。
上天待自己真是不薄，能在这时候与林轩相逢，就算陨落，她也心满意足。
The difference between Tribulation and Spirit Diversion was merely one stage, but the difficulty was incomparable.
yī shí jiān ， qín xīn rú zài mèng lǐ 。
一时间，琴心如在梦里。
Qīn Xīn knew this well, so she found Lin Xuan's rapid advancement unbelievable.
dàn shǎo qǐng ， mǎn qiāng de róu qíng yòu huàn zuò le dān xīn zhī yì 。
但少顷，满腔的柔情又换做了担心之意。
Was he bluffing?
rú jīn qíng shì wēi jí ， fū jūn lái dào zhè lǐ ， qǐ bù shì yào jiāng tā yě juǎn jìn qù ？
如今情势危急，夫君来到这里，岂不是要将他也卷进去？
But that spiritual pressure could not be deceived; it was undoubtedly a Tribulation cultivator. His power surpassed Fairy Míngyuán by far.
zì jǐ sǐ bù zú xī ， dàn zěn me néng ràng fū jūn yě péi zì jǐ luò yí gè hún fēi pò sàn de jié jú 。
自己死不足惜，但怎么能让夫君也陪自己落一个魂飞魄散的结局。
"Indeed," Lin Xuan's smiling voice entered her ears.
“ fū jūn ， nǐ …… nǐ kuài lí kāi zhè lǐ 。”
“夫君，你……你快离开这里。”
The blue-robed young woman beside her was both shocked and delighted.
sú huà shuō ， guān xīn zé luàn ， ōu yáng qín xīn liǎn shàng mǎn shì huáng jí 。
俗话说，关心则乱，欧阳琴心脸上满是惶急。
She was Qīn Xīn's close friend, having heard of Lin Xuan's existence but never imagining that a cultivator from another world could reach the Tribulation level. If it weren't for seeing this with her own eyes, she would not believe such a miracle existed in the world.
“ lí kāi ， wéi shí yǐ wǎn 。”
“离开，为时已晚。”
Lin Xuan's appearance naturally resolved the crisis; before his immense strength, all previous problems were insignificant.
jiù zài zhè shí ， yī bīng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà zhōng nián nǚ zǐ de liǎn shàng mǎn shì jī cháo zhī sè ， kàn zhe lín xuān ， yī zì yī dùn de kāi kǒu le ：“ gé xià hǎo dà de dǎn zi ， jū rán gǎn qián rù wǒ tiān yīn gōng lǐ ， jì tú móu bù guǐ ， jiù yào yǒu yǔn luò de jué wù ， nǐ yǔ nà ōu yáng qín xīn ， zuò yī duì tóng mìng yuān yāng hǎo le 。”
就在这时，一冰冷的声音传入耳朵，那中年女子的脸上满是讥嘲之色，看着林轩，一字一顿的开口了：“阁下好大的胆子，居然敢潜入我天音宫里，既图谋不轨，就要有陨落的觉悟，你与那欧阳琴心，做一对同命鸳鸯好了。”
"Dear, we should leave as soon as possible," Qīn Xīn's reminder voice entered his ears.
“ shì me ？”
“是么？”
"Agreed."
lín xuān tīng le duì fāng de yán yǔ ， bù jǐn bù nù ， fǎn ér yà rán shī xiào qǐ lái 。
林轩听了对方的言语，不仅不怒，反而讶然失笑起来。
Of course, Lin Xuan had no objections. He then glanced at the trembling cultivators beside him and said thoughtfully: "What do you think of these people, Qīn Xīn? How should we handle them?"
qū qū yī fēn shén qī cún zài ， jū rán yě gǎn wēi xié zì jǐ ， jiǎn zhí shì yú chǔn yǐ jí 。
区区一分神期存在，居然也敢威胁自己，简直是愚蠢以极。
"Since they are fellow disciples, please spare them," the blue-robed young woman spoke up.
dāng rán ， yào shuō zhè dà shī jiě bù zhī sǐ huó ， yě shì yǒu tā de yuán gù ， cǐ shí lín xuān huí guò tóu lú ， bù zài shī zhǎn liǎn qì zhī shù ， jiāng qiáng dà yǐ jí de líng yā yì diǎn yì diǎn de shì fàng ér chū 。
当然，要说这大师姐不知死活，也是有她的缘故，此时林轩回过头颅，不再施展敛气之术，将强大以极的灵压一点一点的释放而出。
"Hmm, good."
hōng ！
轰！
Lin Xuan showed no hesitation. This girl named Qín Yú had risked her life to save his wife; Lin Xuan was deeply grateful for her help. Since she asked for mercy, it was only right that he granted this favor both out of reason and emotion.
wéi zhe tā men de fēn shén qī xiū shì lián tuì shù bù ， shuāng xī yī ruǎn ， chà diǎn guì dǎo zài dì shàng 。
围着他们的分神期修士连退数步，双膝一软，差点跪倒在地上。
The several Spirit Diversion cultivators sighed in relief. But just then, Lin Xuan's expression turned extremely gloomy: "Which fellow cultivator is hiding in the shadows, afraid to come face-to-face with me?"
liǎn shàng jiāo hèng de biǎo qíng xiāo shī wú zōng ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì wèi jù yǔ huáng kǒng ， nà zhōng nián nǚ zǐ gèng shì hún shēn fā dǒu ， zhǐ zhe lín xuān ：“ nǐ …… nǐ shì dù jié qī lǎo guài ？”
脸上骄横的表情消失无踪，取而代之的是畏惧与惶恐，那中年女子更是浑身发抖，指着林轩：“你……你是渡劫期老怪？”
(To be continued)
If it were any other cultivator, they would be eternally grateful for the heavens' favor.
However, Qīn Xīn's mood was very conflicted.
