zhè dào bù jǐn jǐn shì yīn wèi bǎo shé xìng gé guāi lì de yuángù， ér shì yóu yú tā hèn lín xuān rù gǔ 。
这倒不仅仅是因为宝蛇性格乖戾的yuángù，而是由于她恨林轩入骨。
This wasn't just because the precious snake, Yuángù, had a rebellious personality. It was due to her deep-seated hatred for Lin Xuan.
shēn wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， què luò dào ròu shēn bèi huǐ de dì bù ， suī rán yīn huò dé fú ， dàn yòu zěn me kě néng yīn cǐ shì huái ne ？
身为真魔始祖，却落到肉身被毁的地步，虽然因祸得福，但又怎么可能因此释怀呢？
As the true demon primordial ancestor, she had ended up with her physical body destroyed, though this had brought unexpected benefits. But how could she possibly forgive such a fate?
bù ràng lín xuān qiú shēng bù néng ， qiú sǐ bù dé ， shí zài nán yǐ lìng tā xīn zhōng qì xiāo de 。
不让林轩求生不能，求死不得，实在难以令她心中气消的。
She wouldn't let Lin Xuan live or die at will; it was impossible to soothe her anger.
“ shào yé ， duì bù qǐ ， yuè ér bù néng zài péi nǐ le ， nǐ …… yí dìng yào hǎo hǎo huó zhe 。”
“少爷，对不起，月儿不能再陪你了，你……一定要好好活着。”
"Master, I'm sorry, Yue'er can no longer accompany you. You... must live well."
ér jiù zài zhè shí ， shào nǚ wēi ruò de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yuè ér rěn shòu zhe nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de tòng kǔ ， huí guò tóu lú ， tā de liǎn shàng dài zhe xiào róng ， mù guāng …… què liú lù chū nóng nóng de juàn niàn zhī sè 。
而就在这时，少女微弱的声音传入耳朵，月儿忍受着难以想象的痛苦，回过头颅，她的脸上带着笑容，目光……却流露出浓浓的眷念之色。
At that moment, the weak voice of the young girl entered his ears. Despite enduring unimaginable pain, Yue'er turned around with a smile on her face, but her eyes revealed deep affection.
zhè shì …… bù hǎo ！
这是……不好！
This was... not good!
“ yuè ér ， bú yào ！”
“月儿，不要！”
"Yue'er, don't!"
zì cóng liǎng rén xiāng yù ， hòu lái yòu zuò le zhè me duō nián de fū qī ， yì zhí xiāng yī xiāng shǒu zài yì qǐ ， lín xuān tài liǎo jiě yuè ér le 。
自从两人相遇，后来又做了这么多年的夫妻，一直相依相守在一起，林轩太了解月儿了。
Since they met and became husband and wife for so many years, Lin Xuan knew Yue'er very well. The thought flashed through his mind like lightning, and he understood exactly what she intended to do.
xīn zhōng de niàn tou rú diàn guāng shí huǒ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐ shēn qiè de míng bái ài qī xiǎng yào zuò shén me 。
心中的念头如电光石火，林轩心中已深切的明白爱妻想要做什么。
Suddenly, a great fear enveloped his heart, making it hard to breathe.
dùn shí ， lín xuān gǎn jué zì jǐ de xīn ， bèi yī jù dà de kǒng jù gěi bāo wéi le 。
顿时，林轩感觉自己的心，被一巨大的恐惧给包围了。
On the other side, the precious snake also sensed something was amiss. Warning bells rang in her mind as she turned around, her gaze falling on Yue'er. She could no longer maintain her composed demeanor.
lián qì dōu tòu bù chū 。
连气都透不出。
Was this girl preparing for self-destruction?
ér lìng yī biān ， bǎo shé yě gǎn jué dào le bù tuǒ 。
而另一边，宝蛇也感觉到了不妥。
And not just a show; the chaos in her aura had reached critical levels within an instant.
xīn tóu jǐng zhào pín chū 。
心头警兆频出。
Indeed, to the precious snake, Yue'er was but an ant—just a渡劫初期 cultivator, hardly worth mentioning.
zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， mù guāng zài yuè ér shēn shàng sǎo guò ， zài yě wú fǎ bǎo chí chāo rán píng jìng de xīn tài le 。
转过头颅，目光在月儿身上扫过，再也无法保持超然平静的心态了。
But that referred to absolute strength. If she were to self-destruct...
zhè yā tou zhǔnbèi zì bào ？
这丫头zhǔnbèi自爆？
Sacrifice one's body, dare to pull down the emperor? At such close range, although he wouldn't perish, injuries, even severe ones, were inevitable.
ér qiě jué fēi zuò zuò yàng zi ， tā shēn shàng qì xī de hùn luàn ， yī shùn jiān ， jiù dào le lín jiè de chéng dù 、
而且绝非做做样子，她身上气息的混乱，一瞬间，就到了临界的程度、
How could it be... injured by this ant?
méi cuò ， zài bǎo shé yǎn zhōng ， yuè ér zhǐ shì lóu yǐ ， qū qū dù jié chū qī ， gēn běn jiù bù zhí yī tí 。
没错，在宝蛇眼中，月儿只是蝼蚁，区区渡劫初期，根本就不值一提。
The precious snake moved swiftly, flying over a thousand feet away in an instant. She didn’t want Lin Xuan to suffer but wasn’t foolish enough to risk her life for it.
dàn nà shì zhǐ jué duì shí lì ， dàn ruò shì zì bào ， nà jié guǒ jiù bù yí yàng le 。
但那是指绝对实力，但若是自爆，那结果就不一样了。
Yue'er's plan failed.
shě de yī shēn guǎ ， gǎn bǎ huáng dì lā xià mǎ ， zhè me jìn de jù lí ， zì jǐ suī rán bú huì yǔn luò ， dàn shòu shāng ， shèn zhì shì zhòng shāng ， què shì nán miǎn de 。
舍得一身剐，敢把皇帝拉下马，这么近的距离，自己虽然不会陨落，但受伤，甚至是重伤，却是难免的。
"Little girl, playing tricks on me is too immature. This time, I'll seal your essence soul and prevent you from using any power. See what you can do then."
zěn me kě yǐ …… shāng zài zhè lóu yǐ de shǒu lǐ ？
怎么可以……伤在这蝼蚁的手里？
With a malicious thought, she intended to recapture Yue'er. However, an unexpected event occurred just as she was about to do so.
bǎo shé shēn xíng yī huǎng 。 zhuǎn shùn zhī jiān ， yǐ fēi chū le qiān yú zhàng de jù lí ， tā suī rán xiǎng ràng lín xuān tòng kǔ ， què bú huì yú chǔn de ná zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng ér qù zuò dǔ zhù 。
宝蛇身形一晃。转瞬之间，已飞出了千余丈的距离，她虽然想让林轩痛苦，却不会愚蠢的拿自己的小命儿去做赌注。
A dark shadow approached silently and tightly embraced her.
yuè ér de jì huà luò kōng 。
月儿的计划落空。
The precious snake was shocked. Who could approach this close without being detected?
“ xiǎo yā tou ， zài wǒ miàn qián wán huā yàng ， nǐ hái tài nèn le ， zhè yī cì ， jiāng nǐ yuán yīng jìn gù ， ràng nǐ yī sī fǎ lì dōu shǐ bù chū ， kàn nǐ hái néng rú hé 。”
“小丫头，在我面前玩花样，你还太嫩了，这一次，将你元婴禁锢，让你一丝法力都使不出，看你还能如何。”
Could there be other cultivators lurking around?
tā è dú de xiǎng zhe 。 zhèng xiǎng yào chóng xīn jiāng yuè ér qín huí shǒu lǐ ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yì biàn tū qǐ 。
她恶毒的想着。正想要重新将月儿擒回手里，然而就在这时，异变突起。
But soon, she realized it was Lin Xuan who had grabbed her.
yī hēi yǐng wú shēng wú xī ， yǐ qī dào jìn chù ， yī bǎ jiāng tā jǐn jǐn bào zhù 。
一黑影无声无息，已欺到近处，一把将她紧紧抱住。
"Want to hurt Yue'er? Try going through my corpse first."
bǎo shé dà jīng shī sè ， shuí néng gòu chōng dào zhè me jìn de jù lí ér bù bèi fā xiàn ne ？
宝蛇大惊失色，谁能够冲到这么近的距离而不被发现呢？
Lin Xuan's body was covered in blood, seemingly on the brink of death, yet he radiated a dangerous aura like a fierce tiger.
nán dào zhōu wéi hái mái fú dé yǒu qí tā de xiū xiān zhě 。
难道周围还埋伏得有其他的修仙者。
"Impossible, how... how could you approach this Saint Ancestor?"
dàn hěn kuài ， tā jiù zhī dào zì jǐ qǐ rén yōu tiān le ， nǎ ér yǒu bié de xiū xiān zhě ， shì lín xuān jiāng tā bào zhù 。
但很快，她就知道自己杞人忧天了，哪儿有别的修仙者，是林轩将她抱住。
The precious snake’s expression was akin to seeing a ghost. Even if Lin Xuan was severely injured now, his speed matched none of his peak moments.
“ xiǎng yào shāng hài yuè ér 。 xiān tà guò wǒ de shī tǐ zài shuō 。”
“想要伤害月儿。先踏过我的尸体再说。”
Lin Xuan didn’t answer but tightly held the precious snake, preventing her from harming Yue'er.
lín xuān hún shēn shàng xià dōu zài liú xiě ， míng míng yīng gāi yǎn yǎn yī xī le ， bù zhī wèi hé ， què xiàng yī tóu měng hǔ 。 hún shēn dōu yǒu wēi xiǎn de qì xī liú lù 。
林轩浑身上下都在流血，明明应该奄奄一息了，不知为何，却像一头猛虎。浑身都有危险的气息流露。
How he moved here and grabbed her remained unclear to him. The only reasonable explanation was instinct.
“ bù kě néng ， nǐ …… nǐ zěn me kě néng jiē jìn běn shèng zǔ ？”
“不可能，你……你怎么可能接近本圣祖？”
"Master."
bǎo shé de biǎo qíng ， jiù yǔ jiàn guǐ xiāng chà fǎng fú ， bié shuō lín xuān cǐ kè shēn shòu zhòng shāng 。 jiù suàn quán shèng zhī shí ， yě méi yǒu zhè yàng de sù dù 。
宝蛇的表情，就与见鬼相差仿佛，别说林轩此刻身受重伤。就算全盛之时，也没有这样的速度。
Yue'er broke free from the demon's grasp, but her face showed no joy as Lin Xuan had plunged into a dangerous situation again.
lín xuān dāng rán bú huì huí dá tā le ， zhǐ shì jǐn jǐn bào zhù bǎo shé 。 ràng tā méi yǒu yú lì ， yǔ shāng hài yuè ér 。
林轩当然不会回答她了，只是紧紧抱住宝蛇。让她没有余力，与伤害月儿。
She wanted to rush over, but she heard Lin Xuan’s sharp command: "Don't come."
gāng cái rú hé nuó yí dào cǐ chù ， qí shí lín xuān zì jǐ yě xī lǐ hú tú ， jiàn yuè ér dǎsuàn zì bào ， zhòng chuāng bǎo shé ， wèi zì jǐ zhēng qǔ yī xiàn shēng jī ， lín xuān zhǐ jué de rú tí hú guàn nǎo ， ěr duǒ “ wēng ” de yī xià ， jiù shén me dōu bù zhī dào 。
刚才如何挪移到此处，其实林轩自己也稀里糊涂，见月儿dǎsuàn自爆，重创宝蛇，为自己争取一线生机，林轩只觉得如醍醐灌脑，耳朵“嗡”的一下，就什么都不知道。
Her body froze, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Master... why!"
rú hé bào zhù bǎo shé ， tā bù qīng chǔ 。
如何抱住宝蛇，他不清楚。
"Stupid girl, how could I let you shield me? If we must sacrifice, it should be me. Remember what I said—no one can hurt you unless they step over my corpse."
rú hé lái dào zhè lǐ ， yì bù xiǎo de 。
如何来到这里，亦不晓得。
Yue'er began to sob.
yī qiè dōu shì xī lǐ hú tú ， běn néng fǎnyīng shì wéi yī hé lǐ de jiě shì le 。
一切都是稀里糊涂，本能fǎnyīng是唯一合理的解释了。
The precious snake’s cold voice echoed: "Enough talking?"
yuè ér tuō lí mó zhǎo ， qiào liǎn shàng què bú jiàn fēn háo xǐ sè ， yīn wèi lín xuān yòu xiàn rù le jù dà wēi xiǎn de xuán wō 。
月儿脱离魔爪，俏脸上却不见分毫喜色，因为林轩又陷入了巨大危险的漩涡。
"I’m saying that two little brats like you shouldn’t卿卿我我在 me. It's time to stop being heroic and using empty talk. Since you've offended the primordial ancestor, I'll ensure you can neither live nor die."
tā xiǎng chōng guò lái ， què tīng jiàn lín xuān yī shēng duàn hē ：“ bié guò lái 。”
她想冲过来，却听见林轩一声断喝：“别过来。”
The precious snake didn't rush to attack; in her eyes, Lin Xuan and Yue'er were prey. She could toy with them at her leisure.
yuè ér shēn xíng dùn zhù ， biǎo qíng què shì xiǎng kū ：“ shào yé …… wèi shén me ！”
月儿身形顿住，表情却是想哭：“少爷……为什么！”
"Yue'er."
“ shǎ yā tou ， wǒ zěn me néng ràng nǐ wèi wǒ zuò yǎn hù ， jí biàn shì yào xī shēng ， yě yīng gāi shì wǒ ， hái jì de shén me ， wǒ céng jīng shuō guò ， bù lùn shuí ， xiǎng yào shāng hài nǐ ， dōu yǒu yí gè qián tí ， nà jiùshì cóng wǒ de shī tǐ shàng tà guò qù 。”
“傻丫头，我怎么能让你为我做掩护，即便是要牺牲，也应该是我，还记得什么，我曾经说过，不论谁，想要伤害你，都有一个前提，那jiùshì从我的尸体上踏过去。”
Lin Xuan spoke then.
yuè ér kāi shǐ le yīng yīng kū qì 。
月儿开始了嘤嘤哭泣。
"What?"
bǎo shé lěng lěng de shēng yīn què chuán rù le ěr duǒ lǐ ：“ shuō gòu le me ？”
宝蛇冷冷的声音却传入了耳朵里：“说够了么？”
"Do you know a saying—'If you don’t want to die, don’t do it'? Villains often fall because they overestimate their luck."
“ shén me ？”
“什么？”
"You should blame yourself for pushing me so hard. You shouldn't have hurt Yue'er."
“ wǒ shuō nǐ men liǎng gè xiǎo jiā huo ， zài wǒ miàn qián qīng qīng wǒ wǒ ， shì bú shì yě yīng gāi yǒu gè xiàn dù ， dōu zhègè shí hòu le ， hái chěng shén me yīng xióng ， kǒu shé zhī lì méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， jì rán dé zuì le běn shǐ zǔ ， wǒ huì ràng nǐ men yǒng shēng yǒng shì qiú shēng bù néng ， qiú sǐ bù dé 。”
“我说你们两个小家伙，在我面前卿卿我我，是不是也应该有个限度，都zhègè时候了，还逞什么英雄，口舌之利没有用处，既然得罪了本始祖，我会让你们永生永世求生不能，求死不得。”
Hearing this, the precious snake felt uneasy but couldn’t think of how Lin Xuan could still pose a threat.
bǎo shé méi yǒu máng zhe dòng shǒu ， zài tā de yǎn lǐ ， lín xuān liǎng rén jiùshì dài zǎi de liè wù ， zì jǐ kě yǐ māo xì lǎo shǔ ， jiāng tā men màn màn zhé mó ， wán quán yòng bù zhe xīn jí de 。
宝蛇没有忙着动手，在她的眼里，林轩两人jiùshì待宰的猎物，自己可以猫戏老鼠，将他们慢慢折磨，完全用不着心急的。
"Dragon has scales that must not be touched; you've revealed mine today. So... let's go to hell together."
“ bǎo shé 。”
“宝蛇。”
Lin Xuan roared, yet his entire body did not emit any frenzied aura. He didn't choose self-destruction.
lín xuān què zài zhè shí hòu kāi kǒu le 。
林轩却在这时候开口了。
Instead, the aura around him grew stronger, surging and multiplying in a matter of moments, becoming incredibly powerful.
“ shén me ？”
“什么？”
Despite being severely injured, this was happening.
“ nǐ yǒu méi yǒu tīng guò yī jù huà ， jiào zuò bù zuò sǐ jiù bú huì sǐ ， fǎn pài yǔn luò ， cháng cháng jiùshì yīn wèi fèihuà tài duō 。”
“你有没有听过一句话，叫做不作死就不会死，反派陨落，常常jiùshì因为fèihuà太多。”
The precious snake's eyes widened as she realized only one possibility existed.
“ yào guài ， jiù guài nǐ bù yīng gāi zhè yàng bī wǒ ， nǐ shí bù gāi ， qù shāng hài yuè ér de 。”
“要怪，就怪你不应该这样逼我，你实不该，去伤害月儿的。”
As dusk approached, though the sun hadn’t set fully, the sky began to darken. Yet, at the horizon, a bright color appeared.
bǎo shé tīng dào zhè lǐ ， xīn zhōng jué de bù tuǒ ， dàn yòu xiǎng bù chū ， shì dào rú jīn ， lín xuān hái néng rú hé ， tā shì zài xū zhāng shēng shì me ？
宝蛇听到这里，心中觉得不妥，但又想不出，事到如今，林轩还能如何，他是在虚张声势么？
In the twilight sky, clouds gathered ominously. More terrifyingly, the元气 in an area of tens of thousands of miles suddenly became chaotic and rushed towards this spot.
“ lóng yǒu nì lín ， chù zhī bì nù ， bǎo shé ， jīn tiān shì nǐ jiāng wǒ de nì lín jiē luò ， suǒ yǐ …… nǐ yǔ wǒ yì qǐ xià dì yù hǎo le 。”
“龙有逆鳞，触之必怒，宝蛇，今天是你将我的逆鳞揭落，所以……你与我一起下地狱好了。”
The most intense元气 was right where they were. In a blink, the元气 and clouds merged into a bizarre vortex, stretching over ten thousand feet wide and bottomless.
lín xuān yī shēng dà hē ， rán ér hún shēn shàng xià ， què méi yǒu kuáng luàn de qì xī mí sàn ér chū ， tā méi yǒu xuǎn zé zì bào 。
林轩一声大喝，然而浑身上下，却没有狂乱的气息弥散而出，他没有选择自爆。
"What is this..."
qià qià xiāng fǎn ， lín xuān shēn shàng de qì xī ， biàn dé qiáng dà le qǐ lái 。
恰恰相反，林轩身上的气息，变得强大了起来。
The precious snake’s eyes narrowed as she showed signs of shock.
jié jié pān shēng ！
节节攀升！
A heavenly tribulation!
duǎn duǎn de shùn xī ， jiù bào zhǎng le shù bèi yǒu yú ， qiáng dà dé bù kě sī yì 。
短短的瞬息，就暴涨了数倍有余，强大得不可思议。
A tribulation for a cultivator advancing to a higher stage.
ér zhè shí hòu ， tā míng míng shì shēn shòu zhòng shāng de 。
而这时候，他明明是身受重伤的。
And judging by its intensity, it far exceeded ordinary later-stage tribulations. Even her own advancement was nothing compared.
bǎo shé dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， zhè zhǒng kě néng xìng zhǐ yǒu yí gè 。
宝蛇瞪大了眼珠，这种可能性只有一个。
"You..."
ér tiān dì jiān de yì xiàng ， fǎng fú yě yìn zhèng le tā de cāicè。
而天地间的异象，仿佛也印证了她的cāicè。
She was both shocked and angry, finally understanding Lin Xuan’s plan.
cǐ shí yǐ shì bàng wǎn ， tài yáng suī méi yǒu wán quán là xià shān pō ， dàn tiān sè yǐ kāi shǐ jiàn jiàn de hūn àn le 。
此时已是傍晚，太阳虽没有完全落下山坡，但天色已开始渐渐的昏暗了。
This brat was audacious, daring to forcefully undergo the tribulation at such a time. He wanted to借势use the power of the heavenly tribulation to reinforce himself.
rán ér zài nà tiān biān jī yuán zhī chù ， què chū xiàn le yī mǒ liàng lì de yán sè 。
然而在那天边机缘之处，却出现了一抹亮丽的颜色。
How bold!
mù guāng suǒ jí de tiān kōng ， fēng qǐ yún yǒng ， gèng jiā kě pà de shì ， fāng yuán shù shí wàn lǐ de tiān dì yuán qì ， yī xià zi biàn dé hùn luàn yǐ jí ， cháo zhe zhè lǐ fēng kuáng de níng jù 。
暮光所及的天空，风起云涌，更加可怕的是，方圆数十万里的天地元气，一下子变得混乱以极，朝着这里疯狂的凝聚。
For this was like a double-edged sword.
ér yuán qì zuì wèi nóng liè zhī chù ， zhèng shì zì jǐ suǒ zài de zhè zuò shān gǔ ， jǐn jǐn zhuǎn shùn de gōng fu ， yuán qì yǔ yún cǎi róng hé ， xíng chéng le yī guǐ yì yǐ jí de xuán wō 。
而元气最为浓烈之处，正是自己所在的这座山谷，仅仅转瞬的功夫，元气与云彩融合，形成了一诡异以极的漩涡。
And for him, it was even more dangerous.
This wasn't just because the precious snake, Yuángù, had a rebellious personality. It was due to her deep-seated hatred for Lin Xuan.
As the true demon primordial ancestor, she had ended up with her physical body destroyed, though this had brought unexpected benefits. But how could she possibly forgive such a fate?
She wouldn't let Lin Xuan live or die at will; it was impossible to soothe her anger.

At that moment, the weak voice of the young girl entered his ears. Despite enduring unimaginable pain, Yue'er turned around with a smile on her face, but her eyes revealed deep affection.
This was... not good!
"Yue'er, don't!"
Since they met and became husband and wife for so many years, Lin Xuan knew Yue'er very well. The thought flashed through his mind like lightning, and he understood exactly what she intended to do.
Suddenly, a great fear enveloped his heart, making it hard to breathe.
On the other side, the precious snake also sensed something was amiss. Warning bells rang in her mind as she turned around, her gaze falling on Yue'er. She could no longer maintain her composed demeanor.
