xīn zhōng zuò xià jué zé ， lín xuān yě bù duō zuò dān gē ， tā yǔ yuè ér jiān de qíng yì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zěn me rěn xīn kàn zhe ài qī shòu kǔ ne ？
心中做下抉择，林轩也不多做耽搁，他与月儿间的情谊非同小可，怎么忍心看着爱妻受苦呢？
With a decision made in his heart, Lin Xuan did not waste much time. His bond with Moon was no trivial matter; how could he bear to see her suffer?
xiù páo yī fú ， dàn jiàn líng guāng dà zuò ， yī bǎo tǎ xíng zhuàng de gǔ bǎo fēi lüè ér chū ， shì yàng gǔ piáo ， yī kàn jiù bú shì fán wù 。
袖袍一拂，但见灵光大做，一宝塔形状的古宝飞掠而出，式样古朴，一看就不是凡物。
He swept his sleeves and a brilliant aura emerged as an ancient treasure tower flew out. The design was simple yet ancient, clearly not something ordinary.
wàn hún tǎ ！
万魂塔！
The Tower of Ten Thousand Souls!
zhè yě suàn shì yī jiàn tōng tiān líng bǎo le 。
这也算是一件通天灵宝了。
This could be considered a divine treasure that reached the heavens.
dāng rán ， yǐ lín xuān rú jīn de shí lì ， qū qū hòu tiān líng bǎo yǐ jīng méi yǒu shén me liǎo bù qǐ ， bù guò yòng lái chǔ cún sì yǎng líng chóng ér yǐ 。
当然，以林轩如今的实力，区区后天灵宝已经没有什么了不起，不过用来储存饲养灵虫而已。
Of course, with Lin Xuan's current strength, mere Post-Natural Spirit Realm treasures were nothing to him. He merely used it for storing and nurturing spirit insects.
suí hòu lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， dòng zuò shì huǎn shí jí ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
随后林轩右手抬起，动作似缓实急，一指向前点去。
Next, his right hand rose, moving swiftly despite its apparent slowness, pointing forward.
pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī dào fǎ jué zài yǎn lián zhōng yī shǎn ér guò ， suí hòu zhī ya shēng dà zuò ， nà bǎo tǎ de mén hōng rán dǎ kāi le 。
破空声传入耳朵，一道法诀在眼帘中一闪而过，随后吱呀声大做，那宝塔的门轰然打开了。
A crackling sound filled the air as a spell flashed before his eyes. The door of the treasure tower creaked open with a loud noise.
yǎn qián chū xiàn le yí gè xuán wō ， zuò rǔ bái zhī sè ， yī dào dào líng guāng zài lǐ miàn liú zhuǎn 。
眼前出现了一个漩涡，做乳白之色，一道道灵光在里面流转。
Before him appeared a vortex, glowing in a milky white color, with streams of spiritual light swirling within it.
suí hòu ， chóng míng shēng yóu yuǎn jí jìn de chuán kāi ， yī duǒ sān sè chóng yún yóu xuán wō zhōng fēi le chū lái ， dàn zǐ xì yī kàn ， què yòu yín guāng càn làn 。
随后，虫鸣声由远及近的传开，一朵三色虫云由漩涡中飞了出来，但仔细一看，却又银光灿烂。
Then, the chirping sounds grew louder and closer. A three-colored insect cloud emerged from the vortex, but upon closer inspection, it shone silver.
yù luó fēng ， chéng zhǎng suī rán huǎn màn ， dàn lín xuān sì yǎng le zhè me duō nián ， tǐ biǎo chà bu duō yě huà wèi le yín sè ， zhǐ bù guò yī jiù yǒu yī xiē huā wén fú xiàn zhe 。
玉罗蜂，成长虽然缓慢，但林轩饲养了这么多年，体表差不多也化为了银色，只不过依旧有一些花纹浮现着。
The Jade Silk Bee. Although its growth was slow, Lin Xuan had nurtured them for so many years that their bodies almost glowed silver, though some patterns still appeared.
lín xuān méi yǒu cáng zhuō ， wǔ wàn yù luó fēng quán bù ná chū ， duì fāng yī kàn jiù bú shì hǎo hū yōu de rén wù ， cǐ shì shè jí dào yuè ér de ān quán ， lín xuān dāng rán bù gǎn zì zuò cōng míng de jié wài shēng zhī le 。
林轩没有藏拙，五万玉罗蜂全部拿出，对方一看就不是好忽悠的人物，此事涉及到月儿的安全，林轩当然不敢自作聪明的节外生枝了。
Lin Xuan did not hide his intentions and brought out all fifty thousand Jade Silk Bees. The other party was no fool; this matter involved Moon's safety, so he could not afford to be clever.
bù guǎn rú hé ， xiān jiāng xiǎo yā tou huàn huí lái zài shuō 。
不管如何，先将小丫头换回来再说。
Regardless, they would first get the little girl back.
cǐ shí lín xuān wéi yī yí hàn de jiù shì yù luó fēng de fēng hòu ， yǐ jīng yì wài yǔn luò diào le ， fǒu zé ， huā shàng jǐ qiān nián ， zì jǐ kě yǐ chóng xīn jiāng cǐ líng chóng péi yù ér chū 。
此时林轩唯一遗憾的就是玉罗蜂的蜂后，已经意外陨落掉了，否则，花上几千年，自己可以重新将此灵虫培育而出。
The only regret Lin Xuan had at that moment was that the queen bee of the Jade Silk Bees had already met an unexpected demise. Otherwise, with a few thousand years, he could have bred them anew.
rú jīn ， zé bù cún zài zhè ge kě néng xìng le 。
如今，则不存在这个可能性了。
Now, such a possibility no longer existed.
hǎo kě xī ， bié de dōng xī qiě bù tí ， wéi yī ràng lín xuān jué de yí hàn de jiù shì shí jiān zhī lì 。
好可惜，别的东西且不提，唯一让林轩觉得遗憾的就是时间之力。
What a pity. Other than time power, which was his sole regret, everything else seemed fine.
bù guò rú jīn zài xiǎng zhè xiē yǐ chún shǔ duō yú ， tā tàn le kǒu qì 。 jiāng zá niàn cóng nǎo hǎi zhōng qū chú chū qù 。
不过如今再想这些已纯属多余，他叹了口气。将杂念从脑海中驱除出去。
Nevertheless, reflecting on these matters now would be premature. He sighed and cleared his mind of杂念.
lín xuān kě bú shì pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， zì rán bú huì yīn wèi yì diǎn cuò zhé jiù yī jué bù zhèn le ， ná de qǐ ， fàng dé xià ， sú huà shuō 。 sài wēng shī mǎ yān zhī fēi fú 。
林轩可不是普通的修仙者，自然不会因为一点挫折就一蹶不振了，拿得起，放得下，俗话说。塞翁失马焉知非福。
Lin Xuan was not an ordinary cultivator; he would not let setbacks bring him down. He could pick up what he put down, as the saying went: "The man who loses a horse may find it a blessing in disguise."
cǐ shì jiū jìng huì rú hé fā zhǎn ， xiàn zài jiù xià jié lùn ， míng xiǎn hái wéi shí guò zǎo le 。
此事究竟会如何发展，现在就下结论，明显还为时过早了。
It was too early to draw conclusions about how this matter would develop.
lín xuān xīn zhōng de xiǎng fǎ qiě bù tí ， huàn yuè é kàn jiàn mǎn tiān de chóng yún què shì liǎn shàng kuáng xǐ 。
林轩心中的想法且不提，幻月蛾看见满天的虫云却是脸上狂喜。
Lin Xuan's thoughts aside, the Moon Moth was overjoyed upon seeing the insect clouds. After taking deep breaths to calm her excitement, she spread her wings and a few streaks of greenish light appeared. A simple storage bag—no, it should be called a spirit beast pouch—appeared before her.
shēn shēn hū xī ， cái jiāng xīn zhōng de jī dòng yā yì xià qù ， suí hòu zhǐ jiàn tā liǎng zhǐ chì bǎng yī shàn 。 diǎn diǎn qīng xiá fú xiàn ， suí hòu yī shì yàng gǔ piáo de chǔ wù dài …… bù ， yīng gāi shì líng shòu dài chū xiàn zài le miàn qián 。
深深呼吸，才将心中的激动压抑下去，随后只见它两只翅膀一扇。点点青霞浮现，随后一式样古朴的储物袋……不，应该是灵兽袋出现在了面前。
"Quickly!"
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
The Moon Moth's voice rang in Lin Xuan’s ears as spiritual light surged out from the treasure. The insects were wrapped up and confined into the spirit beast pouch.
huàn yuè é qīng hē de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu líng guāng dà zuò ， yī dào dào qīng xiá cóng nà bǎo bèi zhōng fēi le chū lái ， yī juàn yī guǒ 。 jiù jiāng yù luó fēng kùn zhù ， shōu huí dào líng shòu dài lǐ miàn qù le 。
幻月蛾轻喝的声音传入耳朵，随后灵光大做，一道道青霞从那宝贝中飞了出来，一卷一裹。就将玉罗蜂困住，收回到灵兽袋里面去了。
Extremely smooth!
shùn lì yǐ jí ！
顺利以极！
Of course, this was due to Lin Xuan's cooperation. Otherwise, the Jade Silk Bees would not have sat idly by; they would have been captured.
dāng rán ， zhè yě shì yīn wèi lín xuān pèi hé de yuán gù ， fǒu zé ， yù luó fēng kě bù huì zuò yǐ dài bì ， rèn yóu tā bǔ zhuō le qù 。
当然，这也是因为林轩配合的缘故，否则，玉罗蜂可不会坐以待毙，任由她捕捉了去。
The entire process took about a stick of incense time. The insect clouds vanished as the sky turned clear and blue.
zhěng gè guò chéng chí xù le dà yuē yī zhù xiāng de gōng fu ， màn tiān de chóng yún guī yú xū wú 。 tiān sè bì lán rú xǐ ， chóng xīn xiǎn de qíng lǎng yǐ jí 。
整个过程持续了大约一炷香的功夫，漫天的虫云归于虚无。天色碧蓝如洗，重新显得晴朗以极。
The Moon Moth looked very satisfied until she had captured the last Jade Silk Bee.
huàn yuè é de biǎo qíng shí fēn mǎn yì ， zhí dào jiāng zuì hòu yī zhī yù luó fēng yě bǔ zhuō le qù 。
幻月蛾的表情十分满意，直到将最后一只玉罗蜂也捕捉了去。
"Friend, you have fulfilled your promise. Should I release my friend now?"
“ rú hé ， dào yǒu yǐ jīng dá chéng nǐ de yuàn wàng le ， shì fǒu yīng gāi mǎ shàng duì xiàn chéng nuò ， jiāng wǒ de péng yǒu fàng huí lái ne ？”
“如何，道友已经达成你的愿望了，是否应该马上兑现承诺，将我的朋友放回来呢？”
Lin Xuan's cold voice echoed in his ears, naturally with no good expression.
lín xuān lěng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zì rán méi yǒu shén me hǎo liǎn sè 。
林轩冷冷的声音传入耳朵，自然没有什么好脸色。
Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, Lin Xuan had faced countless hardships but such a situation where he was at a disadvantage was rare indeed. He felt quite unsatisfied.
zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， lín xuān suī rán jīng lì liǎo wú shù de jiān nán xiǎn zǔ ， dàn xiàng zhè yàng chī yǎ ba kuī de qíng kuàng ， nà kě shì qū zhǐ kě shǔ 。
自从踏上修仙之路，林轩虽然经历了无数的艰难险阻，但像这样吃哑巴亏的情况，那可是屈指可数。
"Friend, you can rest assured. I will honor my promise."
xīn zhōng zì rán shì hěn bù shuǎng de 。
心中自然是很不爽的。
The Moon Moth's mood was excellent; she paid no mind to it and spread her wings as the huge cocoon started glowing intensely, slowly flying towards Lin Xuan.
“ dào yǒu fàng xīn 。 xiǎo mèi zì rán huì xìn shǒu chéng nuò 。”
“道友放心。小妹自然会信守承诺。”
Alongside the black storage bag came, which contained treasures left behind by the Sky-Flying Demon Ancestor.
huàn yuè é xīn qíng hǎo jí ， bù yǐ wéi yì ， chì bǎng yī shàn ， nà jù dà de cán jiǎn jiù kāi shǐ líng guāng kuáng shǎn ， xú xú xiàng zhe lín xuān fēi le guò lái 。
幻月蛾心情好极，不以为意，翅膀一扇，那巨大的蚕茧就开始灵光狂闪，徐徐像着林轩飞了过来。
The Moon Moth did not intend to break her word.
yī tóng fēi lái de hái yǒu nà hēi sè de chǔ wù dài 。 bú yòng shuō ， lǐ miàn zhuāng de shì fēi tiān mó zǔ suǒ yí liú xià lái de bǎo wù 。
一同飞来的还有那黑色的储物袋。不用说，里面装的是飞天魔祖所遗留下来的宝物。
Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. He looked pleased but remained vigilant; in the world of cultivation, it was common for people to turn on each other at the last moment.
huàn yuè é guǒ rán bù dǎ suàn shí yán 。
幻月蛾果然不打算食言。
Lin Xuan was no easy fool; he naturally needed to be cautious.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn huān xǐ ， dàn bìng méi yǒu fàng sōng jǐng tì ， xiū xiān jiè ěr yú wǒ zhà ， zuì hòu yí kè cái fān liǎn de shì qíng ， yě lǚ jiàn bù xiān 。
林轩松了口气，脸上露出几分欢喜，但并没有放松警惕，修仙界尔虞我诈，最后一刻才翻脸的事情，也屡见不鲜。
However, his worries proved unnecessary.
lín xuān kě bú shì hǎo hū yōu de xiū xiān zhě ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， zì rán dōu yào fáng zhe yī shǒu le 。
林轩可不是好忽悠的修仙者，于情于理，自然都要防着一手了。
The Moon Moth did not intend to break their agreement. Her only action was taking out a spirit talisman that ignited without wind and enveloping her in a complex teleportation array.
bù guò shì shí zhèng míng ， tā de dān xīn shì duō yú 。
不过事实证明，他的担心是多余。
This array was intricate and non-trivial, seemingly containing spatial laws within it.
huàn yuè é bìng méi yǒu dǎ suàn yǔ lín xuān sī pò liǎn pí ， tā wéi yī de dòng zuò ， jiù shì qǔ chū yī zhāng líng fú ， wú fēng zì rán ， suí hòu yī jù dà de chuán sòng zhèn ， bāo guǒ zhù tā de shēn tǐ 。
幻月蛾并没有打算与林轩撕破脸皮，它唯一的动作，就是取出一张灵符，无风自燃，随后一巨大的传送阵，包裹住它的身体。
Then, the light grew bright as her body blurred and she teleported away.
cǐ chuán sòng zhèn xuán miào fán fù ， yī kàn jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lǐ miàn sì hū yǐn yǐn hán yǒu kōng jiān fǎ zé 。
此传送阵玄妙繁复，一看就非同小可，里面似乎隐隐含有空间法则。
"This fellow is truly meticulous; he even planned his escape."
suí hòu guāng yùn dà zuò ， tā de shēn tǐ yī zhèn mó hú ， yǐ chuán sòng xiāo shī diào le 。
随后光晕大做，它的身体一阵模糊，已传送消失掉了。
Lin Xuan sighed but did not chase after. With such thorough preparations, Lin Xuan, even at late-stage Tribulation Transcendence, was certain he could not catch up now.
“ zhè jiā huo ， dào zhēn shì xīn sī zhěn mì ， lián rú hé táo zǒu ， jū rán dōu suàn jì hǎo le 。”
“这家伙，倒真是心思缜密，连如何逃走，居然都算计好了。”
Rather than waste effort, it would be better to focus on Moon's condition first.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， bìng wèi qù zhuī 。
林轩叹了口气，并未去追。
Although he speculated that Moon should be fine, Lin Xuan remained uneasy without seeing her awake.
duì fāng zhǔn bèi rú cǐ chōng zú ， zì jǐ jiù suàn shì dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě tiě dìng zhuī bù shàng le 。
对方准备如此充足，自己就算是渡劫后期的修仙者，此时此刻，也铁定追不上了。
With a thought, Lin Xuan swept his sleeves and a sword energy darted out.
yǔ qí huā fèi tú láo de gōng fu ， bù rú xiān guān zhù yuè ér de qíng kuàng rú hé 。
与其花费徒劳的功夫，不如先关注月儿的情况如何。
Without hesitation, it slashed fiercely at the huge cocoon.
suī rán zhào zì jǐ tuī cè ， yuè ér yīng gāi méi yǒu dà ài ， dàn bú jiàn tā sū xǐng ， lín xuān zǒng shì xīn zhōng bù ān 。
虽然照自己推测，月儿应该没有大碍，但不见她苏醒，林轩总是心中不安。
On the surface, Lin Xuan’s action seemed rash, but with his strength, he could control precisely. He would not accidentally injure Moon.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào jiàn qì yú yóu ér chū 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩袖袍一拂，一道剑气鱼游而出。
Sizzle...
sī háo tíng dùn yě wú ， biàn cháo zhe nà jù dà de cán jiǎn hěn hěn zhǎn luò 。
丝毫停顿也无，便朝着那巨大的蚕茧狠狠斩落。
The sound of silk being torn filled his ears as the white threads were cut. Although the threads had extraordinary toughness, Lin Xuan was now a late-stage Tribulation Transcendence顶级大能.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， lín xuān cǐ jǔ yǒu xiē mào shī ， dàn shí lì dào le tā zhè yàng de děng jí ， zì rán kě yǐ zuò dào jīng zhǔn de kòng zhì ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě bú huì wù shāng dào yuè ér de 。
表面上看，林轩此举有些冒失，但实力到了他这样的等级，自然可以做到精准的控制，无论如何，也不会误伤到月儿的。
Then, following suit, sword light intersected and soon the cocoon was in shambles, revealing Moon's face, as if she was sleeping soundly.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
Although it seemed fine from the outside, how could he wake her up?
fǎng fú bù jǐn bèi sī liè de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà bái sè de xì sī bèi gē pò ， qí rèn xìng suī rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn lín xuān rú jīn kě yǐ shì dù jié hòu qī de dǐng jí dà néng le 。
仿佛布锦被撕裂的声音传入耳朵，那白色的细丝被割破，其韧性虽然非同小可，但林轩如今可已是渡劫后期的顶级大能了。
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment before taking out a vial of spirit pill. The fragrance wafted as he fed it to Moon.
suí hòu lín xuān rú fǎ páo zhì ， yī dào dào jiàn guāng jiāo cuò ér chū ， hěn kuài jiù jiāng nà cán jiǎn pī le gè qī líng bā luò ， yuè ér de róng yán fú xiàn ér chū ， jiù fǎng fú shuì shú 。
随后林轩如法炮制，一道道剑光交错而出，很快就将那蚕茧劈了个七零八落，月儿的容颜浮现而出，就仿佛睡熟。
He waited beside her.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn méi yǒu dà ài ， dàn yào zěn me ， cái néng jiāng tā huàn xǐng guò lái ？
表面上看没有大碍，但要怎么，才能将她唤醒过来？
After about a cup of tea’s time, Moon's eyelashes moved and she slowly opened her eyes.
lín xuān lüè yī chén yín ， xīn zhōng yǐ yǒu jì jiào ， xiù páo yī fú ， jiāng yī píng líng dān qǔ chū ， fāng xiāng sì yì ， wèi yuè ér chī le xià qù 。
林轩略一沉吟，心中已有计较，袖袍一拂，将一瓶灵丹取出，芳香四溢，喂月儿吃了下去。
The first thing she saw was Lin Xuan's smile.
lín xuān biàn zài yī páng shǒu hòu 。
林轩便在一旁守候。
"Master, how did you end up here? That Moon Moth..."
guò le dà yuē yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， yuè ér de jié máo dòng le dòng ， suí hòu huǎn huǎn zhēng kāi le shuāng móu 。
过了大约一盏茶的功夫，月儿的睫毛动了动，随后缓缓睁开了双眸。
"The Moon Moth has been sent away."
rù mù suǒ jí ， biàn shì lín xuān de xiào liǎn 。
入目所及，便是林轩的笑脸。
A smile played on the corner of Lin Xuan's lips.
“ shào yé ， nǐ zěn me zài cǐ chù ， nà huàn yuè é ……”
“少爷，你怎么在此处，那幻月蛾……”
"What happened? I..."
“ huàn yuè é ， yǐ jīng bèi wǒ dǎ fā zǒu 。”
“幻月蛾，已经被我打发走。”
Hearing that from the master, Moon was still confused. Suddenly, she noticed a difference in Master.
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān ， liú lù chū yī lǚ xiào róng 。
林轩的嘴角边，流露出一缕笑容。
She released her divine sense and widened her eyes in surprise: "Master, when did you successfully advance to late-stage Tribulation Transcendence?"
“ jiū jìng zěn me huí shì ， wǒ ……”
“究竟怎么回事，我……”
The little girl looked incredulous; had she been unconscious for so long? And where was the Spirit Clan Saintess? What happened during this time?
tīng shào yé zhè me shuō ， yuè ér yī jiù yǒu xiē mí hū ， suí hòu tū rán fā xiàn yǎn qián de shào yé yǔ guò qù yǒu xiē bù tóng 。
听少爷这么说，月儿依旧有些迷糊，随后突然发现眼前的少爷与过去有些不同。
"Stupid girl, if you want to know, I’ll tell you one by one," Lin Xuan's face was full of warm smiles as he began narrating.
tā jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， suí hòu biàn jīng yà de dèng dà le shuāng mù ：“ shào yé ， nǐ shén me shí hòu ， yǐ chéng gōng jìn jí ， dào dá le dù jié hòu qī ？”
她将神识放出，随后便惊讶的瞪大了双目：“少爷，你什么时候，已成功晋级，到达了渡劫后期？”
After a while:
xiǎo yā tou de biǎo qíng yǒu xiē bù kě sī yì ， nán dào zì jǐ ， jìng hūn mí le zhè me jiǔ ， hái yǒu nà líng zú shèng nǚ ， zhè me yě bú jiàn le zōng jì ， zì jǐ hūn mí de zhè duàn shí jiān ， jiū jìng fā shēng le duō shǎo jīng cǎi de biàn gù 。
小丫头的表情有些不可思议，难道自己，竟昏迷了这么久，还有那灵族圣女，这么也不见了踪迹，自己昏迷的这段时间，究竟发生了多少精彩的变故。
"So that’s how it is. Master, it’s all my fault; the Jade Silk Bees were also deceived," Moon’s face was filled with self-blame.
“ shǎ yā tou ， nǐ xiǎng tīng ， wǒ yī yī shuō yǔ nǐ 。” lín xuān liǎn shàng mǎn shì hé xù de xiào yì ， suí hòu biàn kāi shǐ wěi wěi jiǎng shù 。
“傻丫头，你想听，我一一说与你。”林轩脸上满是和煦的笑意，随后便开始娓娓讲述。
PS: After reading this, please remember to give me a recommendation vote, thank you!
With a decision made in his heart, Lin Xuan did not waste much time. His bond with Moon was no trivial matter; how could he bear to see her suffer?
He swept his sleeves and a brilliant aura emerged as an ancient treasure tower flew out. The design was simple yet ancient, clearly not something ordinary.
The Tower of Ten Thousand Souls!
This could be considered a divine treasure that reached the heavens.
Of course, with Lin Xuan's current strength, mere Post-Natural Spirit Realm treasures were nothing to him. He merely used it for storing and nurturing spirit insects.
Next, his right hand rose, moving swiftly despite its apparent slowness, pointing forward.
"Zhi..."
A crackling sound filled the air as a spell flashed before his eyes. The door of the treasure tower creaked open with a loud noise.
Before him appeared a vortex, glowing in a milky white color, with streams of spiritual light swirling within it.
Then, the chirping sounds grew louder and closer. A three-colored insect cloud emerged from the vortex, but upon closer inspection, it shone silver.
The Jade Silk Bee. Although its growth was slow, Lin Xuan had nurtured them for so many years that their bodies almost glowed silver, though some patterns still appeared.
Lin Xuan did not hide his intentions and brought out all fifty thousand Jade Silk Bees. The other party was no fool; this matter involved Moon's safety, so he could not afford to be clever.
Regardless, they would first get the little girl back.
The only regret Lin Xuan had at that moment was that the queen bee of the Jade Silk Bees had already met an unexpected demise. Otherwise, with a few thousand years, he could have bred them anew.
Now, such a possibility no longer existed.
What a pity. Other than time power, which was his sole regret, everything else seemed fine.
Nevertheless, reflecting on these matters now would be premature. He sighed and cleared his mind of杂念.

After about a cup of tea’s time, Moon's eyelashes moved and she slowly opened her eyes.
The first thing she saw was Lin Xuan's smile.
"Master, how did you end up here? That Moon Moth..."
"The Moon Moth has been sent away."
A smile played on the corner of Lin Xuan's lips.
"What happened? I..."
Hearing that from the master, Moon was still confused. Suddenly, she noticed a difference in Master.
She released her divine sense and widened her eyes in surprise: "Master, when did you successfully advance to late-stage Tribulation Transcendence?"
The little girl looked incredulous; had she been unconscious for so long? And where was the Spirit Clan Saintess? What happened during this time?
"Stupid girl, if you want to know, I’ll tell you one by one," Lin Xuan's face was full of warm smiles as he began narrating.
After a while:
"So that’s how it is. Master, it’s all my fault; the Jade Silk Bees were also deceived," Moon’s face was filled with self-blame.
