jiàn guài bù guài ， qí guài zì bài 。
见怪不怪，其怪自败。
Strange things are no longer strange.
lín xuān suī rán xīn zhōng huì nù ， dàn liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， yī jiù shì yún dàn fēng qīng de 。
林轩虽然心中恚怒，但脸上的表情，依旧是云淡风轻的。
Lin Xuan, though filled with anger in his heart, still wore a calm expression on his face.
zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， tā suǒ jīng lì guò de wēi xiǎn mó nàn shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， yǎn qián zhè diǎn xiǎo wù huì yòu suàn dé le shén me 。
自从踏上修仙之路，他所经历过的危险磨难数不胜数，眼前这点小误会又算得了什么。
Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, countless dangers and tribulations had been encountered. This small misunderstanding was nothing compared to those experiences.
jūn zǐ tǎn dàng dàng ！
君子坦荡荡！
A gentleman is broad-minded!
lín xuān xīn zhōng wú kuì ， liǎn shàng biǎo qíng zì rán bù huāng 。
林轩心中无愧，脸上表情自然不慌。
With no guilt in his heart, Lin Xuan's expression remained composed as he coughed lightly, guiding everyone back to discussing how to attack the main lair of the域外天魔.
yī shēng qīng ké ， yǐn dǎo dà jiā jì xù tǎo lùn zěn yàng jìn gōng yù wài tiān mó de zǒng duò 。
一声轻咳，引导大家继续讨论怎样进攻域外天魔的总舵。
This time, the enthusiasm among the cultivators had significantly increased. After all, with the fall of the Void Lord and two consecutive major victories that decimated the enemy forces, the域外天魔 were now leaderless and severely weakened. The outcome of this battle was clear; as long as they didn't suffer an extremely unlucky streak, victory would be certain.
zhè yī cì ， zhòng xiū shì de rè qíng míng xiǎn gāo zhǎng le xǔ duō 。
这一次，众修士的热情明显高涨了许多。
The thought of driving those vicious域外天魔 out filled everyone with joy. Lin Xuan's task assignments proceeded smoothly.
kě bú shì me ， xū wú mó jūn yǔn luò ， jiē lián liǎng chǎng dà jié xiāo miè le duì fāng dà liàng de yǒu shēng lì liàng ， rú jīn de yù wài tiān mó ， bù jǐn qún lóng wú shǒu ， ér qiě yuán qì dà shāng 。
可不是么，虚无魔君陨落，接连两场大捷消灭了对方大量的有生力量，如今的域外天魔，不仅群龙无首，而且元气大伤。
...
cǐ zhàn shèng suàn rú hé ， gēn běn bù yòng duō shuō 。
此战胜算如何，根本不用多说。
Meanwhile, outside the Cloud Conceal Mountain.
zhǐ yào bú shì yùn qì dǎo méi dào jí chù ， kěn dìng néng gòu yī zhàn ér kè ， xiǎng dào kě yǐ jiāng nà xiē qióng xiōng jí è de yù wài tiān mó gǎn chū cǐ chù ， zài chǎng de xiū shì wú bù huān xīn gǔ wǔ 。
只要不是运气倒霉到极处，肯定能够一战而克，想到可以将那些穷凶极恶的域外天魔赶出此处，在场的修士无不欢欣鼓舞。
Times had changed. When Lin Xuan and Elder Dragon returned, they turned the tide, and now within a million miles around Cloud Conceal Mountain, there was no trace of the域外天魔.
lín xuān fēn pài rèn wù ， yě jiù shùn lì dào jí chù 。
林轩分派任务，也就顺利到极处。
The sky was slightly darkening; this was an uninhabited wilderness mountain.
……
……
Though called a wilderness mountain, it was actually quite picturesque. Green trees shaded the paths, and wildflowers bloomed in competition for beauty. However, due to its thin aura, few people ventured here. The Cloud Conceal Mountain stretched for tens of thousands of miles, with countless insignificant hills that were hard to count. Disciples responsible for patrolling rarely visited such places.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， yún yǐn shān wài wéi 。
与此同时，云隐山外围。
Yet today, a pavilion had been erected on the mountain top.
shì yì shí yí ， nài lóng jiè de jú miàn yuán běn wēi xiǎn wú bǐ ， rán ér lín xuān yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén huí lái hòu ， què lì wǎn kuáng lán ， rú jīn yún yǐn zōng fāng yuán shù bǎi wàn lǐ ， zǎo yǐ méi yǒu yù wài tiān mó de zōng jì 。
事易时移，鼐龙界的局面原本危险无比，然而林轩与鼐龙真人回来后，却力挽狂澜，如今云隐宗方圆数百万里，早已没有域外天魔的踪迹。
Recently built and unadorned, it was clearly a temporary structure created by gathering sand into a tower.
tiān sè yǒu xiē hūn àn ， zhè lǐ shì yī zuò liǎo wú rén jì de huāng shān 。
天色有些昏暗，这里是一座了无人迹的荒山。
It stood out slightly amidst the landscape.
shuō shì huāng shān ， qí shí jǐng sè yě hěn bù sú 。
说是荒山，其实景色也很不俗。
But a young maiden added a touch of beauty to this place. Her lips as red as jade, her skin like water, Qin Yan remained ethereal.
lǜ shù chéng yīn ， lù biān de bǎi huā yě zhēng qí dòu yàn ， zhǐ bù guò xiāng duì qí tā dì fāng lái shuō ， líng qì hěn shì xī bó ， gù ér yě jiù shǎo yǒu rén dào zhè lǐ le 。
绿树成荫，路边的百花也争奇斗艳，只不过相对其他地方来说，灵气很是稀薄，故而也就少有人到这里了。
Then, a black lotus bloomed beside the pavilion.
bì jìng zhěng gè yún yǐn shān mài ， mián yán shù shí wàn lǐ 。
毕竟整个云隐山脉，绵延数十万里。
The young maiden named 折翼 stepped out from inside.
zhè yàng bù qǐ yǎn de xiǎo shān shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， gēn běn jiù nán yǐ jì shù ， jí biàn fù zé xún luó de dì zǐ ， děng xián yě shǎo dào cǐ chù 。
这样不起眼的小山是数不胜数，根本就难以计数，即便负责巡逻的弟子，等闲也少到此处。
"Big sister, I truly don't understand why you sent me to give that gift to Lin Xuan. That boy is ungrateful; isn't it worth helping him?"
rán ér jīn tiān zài nà shān dǐng zhī shàng ， què duō chū le yī zuò liáng tíng 。
然而今天在那山顶之上，却多出了一座凉亭。
"Folding Wings, you've said too much today."
xīn jiàn bù jiǔ ， shàng miàn shǎo yǒu diāo zhuó ， xiǎn rán shì yǒu rén yòng jù shā chéng tǎ de fǎ shù 。 lín shí dā jiàn qǐ lái de 。
新建不久，上面少有雕琢，显然是有人用聚沙成塔的法术。临时搭建起来的。
Qin Yan's expression showed dissatisfaction.
kàn shàng qù yǒu xiē tū wù 。
看上去有些突兀。
"Big sister, why are you so执着? I just didn't want you to suffer anymore."
rán ér yī wèi miào líng shào nǚ què píng kōng gěi zhè lǐ zēng tiān le yī mǒ lì sè 。
然而一位妙龄少女却凭空给这里增添了一抹丽色。
"I know what to do. Besides, this is a win-win situation and not merely about giving Lin Xuan a gift," Qin Yan's cold voice carried an air of profundity.
zhū yù wèi chún shuǐ zuò fū ， qín yán yī jiù shì zhè yàng bù shí rén jiān yān huǒ 。
朱玉为唇水做肤，秦妍依旧是这样不食人间烟火。
"You mean..."
suí hòu yī duǒ hēi sè de lián huā zài liáng tíng biān zhàn fàng kāi le 。
随后一朵黑色的莲花在凉亭边绽放开了。
"What took you so long to realize? Folding Wings, you're too slow. Yes, the Void Lord died in our hands, and his元婴 couldn't escape. He perished in your flying demon fire, reduced to ashes. How can you doubt it?"
nà míng jiào zhé yì de miào líng shào nǚ cóng lǐ miàn zǒu chū lái le 。
那名叫折翼的妙龄少女从里面走出来了。
"Words are deceiving; seeing is believing," Qin Yan argued. "It's unreasonable that we would be uncertain about having killed an enemy ourselves."
“ jiě jiě ， wǒ zhēn bù míng bái nǐ jì rán zì jǐ dào le cǐ chù ， wèi hé yào wǒ qù gěi nà lín xuān sòng zhè fèn dà lǐ ne ， nà lín xiǎo zi nǎi shì bù shí hǎo dǎi zhī tú ， nǐ zhè yàng bāng tā zhēn de zhí de me ？”
“姐姐，我真不明白你既然自己到了此处，为何要我去给那林轩送这份大礼呢，那林小子乃是不识好歹之徒，你这样帮他真的值得么？”
"Big sister, what’s wrong with you? You must have a problem!"
“ zhé yì ， nǐ jīn tiān de huà yě tài duō 。”
“折翼，你今天的话也太多。”
"You shouldn't look at me like that. Your thoughts are too naive. A cunning rabbit has three holes. We did kill the Void Lord, but only his main body. Who knows if he had another元婴 or some other form?"
qín yán liǎn shàng lù chū bù mǎn zhī sè 。
秦妍脸上露出不满之色。
"The intelligence is uncertain, but I suspect this possibility is very real."
“ jiě ， nǐ wèi hé nà me zhí zhuó ， wǒ zhǐ shì bù xiǎng nǐ zài shòu shāng hài bà le 。”
“姐，你为何那么执着，我只是不想你再受伤害罢了。”
Qin Yan's analysis resonated in the air, and the black-robed maiden nodded with admiration.
“ gāi zěn me zuò ， wǒ xīn lǐ qīng chǔ 。 hé kuàng cǐ jǔ ， nǎi shì shuāng yíng de xuǎn zé ， bìng fēi dān chún lái gěi lín xuān sòng lǐ de 。” qín yán qīng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xiàn chū jǐ fēn gāo shēn mò cè 。
“该怎么做，我心里清楚。何况此举，乃是双赢的选择，并非单纯来给林轩送礼的。”秦妍清冷的声音传入耳朵，现出几分高深莫测。
"Big sister, you have far-reaching plans; your little sister falls short."
“ nǐ shì shuō ……”
“你是说……”
"Now, stop flattering. This time, Lin Xuan will be the main force against the Void Lord. But that item is mine to obtain. So, don't slack off in preparation. Go and make sure everything is clear."
“ zěn me ， xiàn zài cái xiǎng dào ， zhé yì ， nǐ wèi miǎn yě tài chí dùn le ， méi cuò ， xū wú zài wǒ men shǒu lǐ yǔn luò 。 jìn gōng nài lóng jiè de tiān mó dà jūn yě yuán qì dà shāng diào le ， dàn ruò zhè yàng ， jiù qīng yán shèng lì ， yǐ wéi shèng xià de yù wài tiān mó 。 shì tǔ jī wǎ gǒu ， yě tài tiān zhēn le ， hé kuàng ……”
“怎么，现在才想到，折翼，你未免也太迟钝了，没错，虚无在我们手里陨落。进攻鼐龙界的天魔大军也元气大伤掉了，但若这样，就轻言胜利，以为剩下的域外天魔。是土鸡瓦狗，也太天真了，何况……”
"Don't worry, I understand."
qín yán shuō dào zhè lǐ ， dùn le yī dùn ：“ xū wú shì fǒu zhēn de sǐ le ？”
秦妍说到这里，顿了一顿：“虚无是否真的死了？”
Folding Wings smiled but then hesitated.
“ jiě jiě 。 nǐ zhè huà hé yì ？”
“姐姐。你这话何意？”
"However..."
zhé yì xiān zi de dài méi wēi wēi zhòu qǐ ， jué měi de miàn róng shàng mǎn shì jīng yí ：“ xū wú kě shì wǒ men qīn shǒu zǎi de ， yuán yīng yì méi yǒu néng gòu táo tuō 。 zài nǐ de fēi tiān mó huǒ zhōng yǔn luò ， rán chéng huī jìn diào le ， nǐ zěn me ……”
折翼仙子的黛眉微微皱起，绝美的面容上满是惊疑：“虚无可是我们亲手宰的，元婴亦没有能够逃脱。在你的飞天魔火中陨落，燃成灰烬掉了，你怎么……”
"What's the problem?"
sú huà shuō ěr tīng wèi xū ， yǎn jiàn wèi shí ， zì jǐ qīn shǒu miè shā le dí rén hái bù què dìng ， tiān xià nǎ ér yǒu zhè ge dào lǐ ？
俗话说耳听为虚，眼见为实，自己亲手灭杀了敌人还不确定，天下哪儿有这个道理？
Qin Yan turned her head.
jiě jiě nán dào nǎo dài yǒu wèn tí ？
姐姐难道脑袋有问题？
"That boy isn't easily outwitted; if he discovers this treasure, how will we handle a potential dispute with him?"
“ bié zhè me kàn zhe wǒ ， shì nǐ zì jǐ de xiǎng fǎ tài tiān zhēn le yī xiē ， sú huà shuō jiǎo tù sān kū ， wǒ men shì miè shā le xū wú ， dàn yě jǐn jǐn shì běn tǐ méi cuò ， shuí zhī dào zhè jiā huo yǒu méi yǒu xiū liàn dì èr yuán yīng ， huò zhě huà shēn zhī lèi de dōng dōng ne ？”
“别这么看着我，是你自己的想法太天真了一些，俗话说狡兔三窟，我们是灭杀了虚无，但也仅仅是本体没错，谁知道这家伙有没有修炼第二元婴，或者化身之类的东东呢？”
"This..."
“ qíng bào suī bù xiǎo de ， dàn jù wǒ cāi cè ， zhè zhǒng kě néng xìng shí zài shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。”
“情报虽不晓得，但据我猜测，这种可能性实在是非同小可。”
"Big sister, don't hesitate. If the goddess has feelings for you, why not marry him? All your troubles would be solved."
qín yán de fēn xī chuán rù ěr duǒ ， hēi yī shào nǚ tīng le ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yě yóu yí huò biàn wèi pèi fú ：“ jiě jiě shēn móu yuǎn lǜ ， xiǎo mèi yuǎn yuǎn bù jí 。”
秦妍的分析传入耳朵，黑衣少女听了，脸上的表情也由疑惑变为佩服：“姐姐深谋远虑，小妹远远不及。”
"You're crazy, girl! How dare you mock me!"
“ hǎo le ， shǎo pāi mǎ pì ， zhè yī cì duì fù xū wú ， zì rán yǐ lín xuān tā men wéi zhǔ ， dàn nà jiàn dōng xī ， běn xiān zi shì zhì zài bì děi ， suǒ yǐ jiē xià lái de zhǔn bèi yě bù kě mǎ hǔ ， nǐ zhè jiù xià qù jiāng shì qíng jiāo dài qīng chǔ 。”
“好了，少拍马屁，这一次对付虚无，自然以林轩他们为主，但那件东西，本仙子是志在必得，所以接下来的准备也不可马虎，你这就下去将事情交代清楚。”
Qin Yan's delicate face turned red, adding to her beauty as she grew angry. With a wave of her sleeves, a colorful demon sword materialized and shot at the other.
“ jiě jiě fàng xīn ， xiǎo mèi lǐ huì dé 。”
“姐姐放心，小妹理会得。”
This playful exchange was quite dramatic.
zhé yì xiān zi wēi xiào zhe kāi kǒu le ， suí hòu liǎn shàng què yǒu lù chū yī sī chí yí zhī sè ：“ zhǐ shì ……”
折翼仙子微笑着开口了，随后脸上却有露出一丝迟疑之色：“只是……”
With giggles echoing in their ears, countless mountains crumbled into dust.
“ zhǐ shì rú hé ？”
“只是如何？”
"Big sister, are you really moved by such indignation?"
qín yán jiāng qín shǒu zhuǎn guò 。
秦妍将螓首转过。
"You're dead, girl! How dare you mock me?"
“ nà xìng de xiǎo zi kě yě bú shì shěng yóu de jiā huo ， rú guǒ yì fā xiàn le zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， dào shí hòu yǔ wǒ men zhēng qiǎng ， què yòu rú hé ？”
“那姓的小子可也不是省油的家伙，如果亦发现了这件宝物，到时候与我们争抢，却又如何？”
Qin Yan cast hand seals, but she felt uneasy. As they say, cutting through tangled threads is difficult; love is a complex matter that can't be easily explained in words.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
The entanglements of love and hate extended from the mortal world to the spiritual realm. What was her attitude towards Lin Xuan? Was she fond of him or not?
“ jiě jiě ， wǒ kàn nǐ jiù bié yóu yù le ， jì rán shén nǚ yǒu xīn ， bù rú jià gěi tā ， yī qiè fán nǎo jiù yíng rèn ér jiě le 。”
“姐姐，我看你就别犹豫了，既然神女有心，不如嫁给他，一切烦恼就迎刃而解了。”
She couldn't quite put it into words, which made her angry.
“ hú shuō ， sǐ yā tou ， nǐ jū rán gǎn xiāo qiǎn wǒ 。”
“胡说，死丫头，你居然敢消遣我。”
...
qín yán qiào liǎn yī hóng ， gèng zēng lì sè ， què shì bó rán dà nù ， xiù páo yī fú ， qī cǎi liú lí de tiān mó jiàn yóu yī xiù zhōng fēi lüè ér chū ， xiàng duì fāng jī shè 。
秦妍俏脸一红，更增丽色，却是勃然大怒，袖袍一拂，七彩琉璃的天魔剑由衣袖中飞掠而出，像对方激射。
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan was also troubled by his emotions. On one hand, Cloud Fairy's ambiguous behavior left him uncertain whether she was an ally or an enemy.
zhè dǎ nào kě gòu jīng xīn dòng pò 。
这打闹可够惊心动魄。
On the other hand, after the grand hall discussion where Qinxin and Yue'er couldn't vent their jealousy, they began to show it in private.
suí zhe gē gē gē de jiāo xiào chuán rù ěr duǒ ， bù zhī dào duō shǎo zuò shān fēng huà wèi jī fěn le 。
随着咯咯咯的娇笑传入耳朵，不知道多少座山峰化为齑粉了。
Qinxin was still easy to handle, but Yue'er, though gentle as ever, wasn't easily appeased. After years of experience, she had her own opinions and wouldn't be swayed by Lin Xuan's words on everything.
“ jiě jiě ， rú cǐ nǎo xiū chéng nù ， kě shì zhēn dòng xīn le ？”
“姐姐，如此恼羞成怒，可是真动心了？”
Folding Wings, a demoness with unpredictable behavior, could cause trouble if she discovered the treasure. Lin Xuan needed to be cautious.
“ sǐ yā tou ， nǐ hái hú shuō ？”
“死丫头，你还胡说？”
His two wives were clear in their intentions, and they began to argue with him. Despite his quick wit, it took some effort to calm them down.
qín yán yù shǒu fǎ jué dǎ chū ， rán ér xīn zhōng què zài dǎ chù ， sú huà shuō jiǎn bù duàn ， lǐ hái luàn ， qíng zhī yī zì ， yòu qǐ shì yán yǔ shuō dé qīng chǔ 。
秦妍玉手法诀打出，然而心中却在打怵，俗话说剪不断，理还乱，情之一字，又岂是言语说得清楚。
...
ēn yuàn jiū gé ， cóng rén jiè mián yán dào líng jiè zhī zhōng ， zì jǐ duì dài lín xuān ， jiū jìng shì shén me yī zhǒng tài dù ， xǐ huān me ？
恩怨纠葛，从人界绵延到灵界之中，自己对待林轩，究竟是什么一种态度，喜欢么？
Phew, what a hassle!
huò zhě bù xǐ huān ？
或者不喜欢？
Lin Xuan discreetly wiped sweat from his forehead; he was glad this conversation hadn't reached Elder Dragon's ears or he would have been scolded for not being content with his wives' understanding and easy-to-please nature.
gè zhōng zī wèi ér ， tā yě mí mí hū hū ， shuō bù qīng chǔ 。
个中滋味儿，她也迷迷糊糊，说不清楚。
How fortunate it was to have such sensible wives! How different from Qianqian, who was so stubborn that she made him kneel on a washboard for half a month after saying just three days.
suǒ yǐ cái huì nǎo xiū chéng nù 。
所以才会恼羞成怒。
He felt truly pitiful. (To be continued...)
Strange things are no longer strange.
Lin Xuan, though filled with anger in his heart, still wore a calm expression on his face.
Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, countless dangers and tribulations had been encountered. This small misunderstanding was nothing compared to those experiences.
A gentleman is broad-minded!
With no guilt in his heart, Lin Xuan's expression remained composed as he coughed lightly, guiding everyone back to discussing how to attack the main lair of the域外天魔.

After all, with the fall of the Void Lord and two consecutive major victories that decimated the enemy forces, the域外天魔 were now leaderless and severely weakened. The outcome of this battle was clear; as long as they didn't suffer an extremely unlucky streak, victory would be certain.
The thought of driving those vicious域外天魔 out filled everyone with joy. Lin Xuan's task assignments proceeded smoothly.

Meanwhile, outside the Cloud Conceal Mountain.
Times had changed. When Lin Xuan and Elder Dragon returned, they turned the tide, and now within a million miles around Cloud Conceal Mountain, there was no trace of the域外天魔.
