lín xuān de biǎo qíng yǒu xiē huǎng hū ， ā xiū luó wáng de biǎo qíng ， què shì míng yàn dào jí chù ， yī pín yī xiào ， dōu tòu chū wú jìn de wēn róu ， rán ér yǔ xī rì de yuè ér xiāng bǐ ， nà wēn róu zhī zhōng ， yòu tòu chū jǐ fēn dà qì ， ràng rén rú mù chūn fēng ， shì yǐn měi jiǔ 。←，
林轩的表情有些恍惚，阿修罗王的表情，却是明艳到极处，一颦一笑，都透出无尽的温柔，然而与昔日的月儿相比，那温柔之中，又透出几分大气，让人如沐春风，似饮美酒。←，
Lin Xuan's expression was a bit dazed. The Apsara King, however, looked radiant to the extreme, her every frown and smile exuding boundless tenderness. But compared to Mo'er from the past, this gentleness also carried an air of grandeur that made one feel like they were basking in spring breeze or sipping fine wine.
“ zěn me ， shào yé rèn bù dé wǒ ？”
“怎么，少爷认不得我？”
"How could it be? Master, do you not recognize me?"
“ nǐ jiū jìng shì yuè ér hái shì ā xiū luó ？” lín xuān tàn le yì kǒu qì de shuō 。
“你究竟是月儿还是阿修罗？”林轩叹了一口气的说。
"Are you Mo'er or the Apsara?" Lin Xuan sighed.
“ zhè yǒu qū bié me ？”
“这有区别么？”
"It makes no difference," she replied with a smile.
nà jué měi de nǚ zǐ ， què shì xiào qǐ lái le ：“ yuè ér jí shì ā xiū luó ， ā xiū luó jí shì yuè ér ， dōu shì wǒ 。”
那绝美的女子，却是笑起来了：“月儿即是阿修罗，阿修罗即是月儿，都是我。”
The beautiful woman laughed: "Mo'er is the Apsara and the Apsara is Mo'er. They are all I am."
hǎo ba ， zhè yàng de huí dá děng yú méi shuō 。
好吧，这样的回答等于没说。
Well, such an answer was essentially meaningless.
lín xuān yǒu xiē wú yǔ ， dàn xīn zhōng què yě àn zì sōng le kǒu qì ， bù guǎn rú hé ， chóng xīn huò dé ā xiū luó wáng de lì liàng yǔ jì yì hòu ， méi yǒu yǔ zì jǐ shēng fēn ， zhè jiù yǐ jīng shì zuì hǎo de jié guǒ 。
林轩有些无语，但心中却也暗自松了口气，不管如何，重新获得阿修罗王的力量与记忆后，没有与自己生分，这就已经是最好的结果。
Lin Xuan was speechless but secretly relieved. Regardless of anything else, the fact that he had regained the Apsara King's strength and memories without any estrangement was already the best outcome possible.
hé bì hái yāo qiú zhè me duō ， yòu hé bì yào jiāng yī qiè dōu nòng qīng chǔ ， sú huà shuō ， nán dé hú tú ……
何必还要求这么多，又何必要将一切都弄清楚，俗话说，难得糊涂……
Why should he demand so much more? Why did he need to clarify everything? As they say, it’s better to be wise in folly...
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān yě jiù ān xīn xià qù ， bù guò hěn kuài ， tā yòu xiǎng dào yí gè wèn tí ：“ duì le ， tián xiāng zài nǎ lǐ ？”
想到这里，林轩也就安心下去，不过很快，他又想到一个问题：“对了，田襄在哪里？”
With this thought, Lin Xuan felt at ease. However, soon after, another question popped into his mind: "By the way, where is Tian Xiang?"
bù guǎn zài zěn me sōng xiè ， lín xuān kě bù huì wàng diào zhè kě pà de qiáng dí 。
不管再怎么松懈，林轩可不会忘掉这可怕的强敌。
No matter how relaxed he was, Lin Xuan would not forget about this formidable enemy.
cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù suàn qǐ ， lín xuān cóng méi yǒu zhè me jué wàng guò ， duì fāng jī hū shì bù kě zhàn shèng de 。
从踏上修仙之路算起，林轩从没有这么绝望过，对方几乎是不可战胜的。
Since he started on his cultivation path, Lin Xuan had never felt so desperate. The opponent seemed almost invincible.
jiù zài gāng cái ， hái dǎ le gè tiān fān dì fù ， zěn me cái yī zhǎ yǎn de gōng fu ， tián xiāng jiù bú jiàn le ？
就在刚才，还打了个天翻地覆，怎么才一眨眼的功夫，田襄就不见了？
Just a moment ago, they had fought to the point of turning heaven and earth upside down. How could Tian Xiang have disappeared in just a blink of an eye?
chú le yí huò hái shì yí huò ， ér xiǎn rán zhè yī qiè ， dōu yīn wèi yǎn qián de ā xiū luó 。
除了疑惑还是疑惑，而显然这一切，都因为眼前的阿修罗。
All that remained was more confusion, clearly due to this Apsara before him.
lín xuān liǎn shàng ， bù yóu de lù chū xún wèn zhī sè 。
林轩脸上，不由得露出询问之色。
Lin Xuan's face showed a questioning look.
“ shào yé ， nǐ fàng xīn ， tián xiāng zhǎo bú dào zhè lǐ ， zhì shǎo sān nián zhī nèi ， tā zhǎo bú dào cǐ chù 。” ā xiū luó de liǎn shàng lù chū tián tián de xiào róng 。
“少爷，你放心，田襄找不到这里，至少三年之内，他找不到此处。”阿修罗的脸上露出甜甜的笑容。
"Master, don't worry; Tian Xiang won't find his way here for at least three years," the Apsara said with a sweet smile.
shén me qīng guó qīng chéng ， chén yú luò yàn de xíng róng dōu cāng bái dào jí chù ， zhè yī xiào de fēng qíng nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ xíng róng 。
什么倾国倾城，沉鱼落雁的形容都苍白到极处，这一笑的风情难以用言语形容。
Such beauty and charm were hard to describe. Compared to Mo'er, she had a similar appearance but a completely different demeanor.
cǐ shí de ā xiū luó ， cóng róng mào lái shuō ， yǔ yuè ér yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì ， dàn qì zhì què shì jiǒng rán bù tóng 。
此时的阿修罗，从容貌来说，与月儿有几分相似，但气质却是迥然不同。
She was more noble yet more approachable. Her grace was like a gentle breeze, her allure indescribable.
gèng jiā de gāo guì ， dàn yě gèng jiā de qīn hé 。 fēng qíng wàn zhǒng ， ràng rén rú mù chūn fēng ， qí mèi lì nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ xíng róng 。
更加的高贵，但也更加的亲和。风情万种，让人如沐春风，其魅力难以用言语形容。
"Um... Mo'er, I'll still call you that. You said Tian Xiang won't find us here. Why is that?"
“ è …… yuè ér ， wǒ hái shì jiào nǐ yuè ér ba ， nǐ shuō tián xiāng zhǎo bú dào cǐ chù ， zhè shì wèi hé ？”
“呃……月儿，我还是叫你月儿吧，你说田襄找不到此处，这是为何？”
Lin Xuan's face showed confusion.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū bù jiě zhī sè 。
林轩脸上露出不解之色。
He had already experienced Tian Xiang's strength; as the top cultivator among true immortals, he could almost do anything.
tián xiāng de shí lì ， tā yǐ jīng lǐng jiào guò ， zuò wèi zhēn xiān zhī zhōng de dì yī qiáng zhě ， shuō wú suǒ bù néng yě bù wèi guò 。
田襄的实力，他已经领教过，做为真仙之中的第一强者，说无所不能也不为过。
What did it mean when you couldn’t find this place?
shuō tā zhǎo bú dào cǐ chù ， zhè huà jiū jìng shì shén me yì si ne ？
说他找不到此处，这话究竟是什么意思呢？
"And, Yuanyuan, where are my big brother and his group?"
“ hái yǒu 。 yuàn yuàn ， wǒ dà gē ， tā men yòu zài nǎ lǐ ？”
“还有。媛媛，我大哥，他们又在哪里？”
"Master, rest assured. Everyone else is in a safe location."
“ shào yé ， nǐ fàng xīn ， qí tā rén ， dōu zài yī ān quán de dì diǎn 。”
“少爷，你放心，其他人，都在一安全的地点。”
"That’s good."
“ zhè jiù hǎo 。”
“这就好。”
Hearing what the Apsara said, Lin Xuan felt relieved, but his doubts still lingered. He waited silently for her explanation.
tīng ā xiū luó zhè yàng shuō ， lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， dàn xīn zhōng de yí wèn ， yī jiù huī zhī bù qù 。 jìng jìng de děng tā jiě shì 。
听阿修罗这样说，林轩松了口气，但心中的疑问，依旧挥之不去。静静的等她解释。
By the way, the mobile game *A Thousand Refinements* will go live on May 21st. I'll be playing it as well; welcome everyone to explore this world with me!
shuō jiàn shì ， bǎi liàn chéng xiān de shǒu yóu wǔ yuè èr shí yī hào jiù huì quán miàn kāi cè le ， huàn yǔ yě huì wán de ， huān yíng gè wèi dào yǒu dào shí hòu yǔ wǒ yì qǐ chàng yóu bǎi liàn de shì jiè ó
说件事，百炼成仙的手游五月二十一号就会全面开测了，幻雨也会玩的，欢迎各位道友到时候与我一起畅游百炼的世界哦
"Speaking of where we are now, we need to go back a million years."
“ zhì yú wǒ men xiàn zài shēn zài hé chù 。 zé yào cóng shù bǎi wàn nián shuō qǐ 。”
“至于我们现在身在何处。则要从数百万年说起。”
"A million years?"
“ shù bǎi wàn nián shuō qǐ ？”
“数百万年说起？”
"Yes."
“ ń 。”
“嗯。”
The girl nodded: "Master, you know that my past life was the Apsara and yours was Hua Yu..."
shào nǚ diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ shào yé nǐ yě zhī dào ， wǒ de qián shì shì ā xiū luó ， shào yé nǐ zé shì huà yǔ ……”
少女点了点头：“少爷你也知道，我的前世是阿修罗，少爷你则是化羽……”
"Wait, your past life?"
“ děng děng ， nǐ de qián shì ？”
“等等，你的前世？”
Lin Xuan immediately grasped the key point: "You said past life. So are you really Mo'er?"
lín xuān yī xià jiù zhuā zhù zhè jù huà de zhòng diǎn le ：“ nǐ shuō qián shì 。 zhè me shuō ， nǐ zhēn shì yuè ér le ？”
林轩一下就抓住这句话的重点了：“你说前世。这么说，你真是月儿了？”
"Of course," she laughed.
“ zhè hái yǒu jiǎ me ？”
“这还有假么？”
The girl continued: "I am definitely Mo'er. Although I have regained my past life's strength and memories, and my appearance has been restored, it is based on this life. Therefore, I am not the Apsara; I am still Mo'er."
shào nǚ xiào qǐ lái le ：“ wǒ dāng rán shì yuè ér ， suī rán dé dào le qián shì de lì liàng yǔ jì yì 。 róng mào yě yǐ jīng jiě fēng ， dàn què shì yǐ zhè yī shì wèi jī chǔ ， wǒ dāng rán bú shì shén me ā xiū luó ， jiù shì yuè ér de 。”
少女笑起来了：“我当然是月儿，虽然得到了前世的力量与记忆。容貌也已经解封，但却是以这一世为基础，我当然不是什么阿修罗，就是月儿的。”
She stuck out her tongue playfully as she spoke.
shuō dào zhè lǐ ， shào nǚ tǔ le tǔ shé tou ， hái zuò le yí gè tiáo pí de shén sè 。
说道这里，少女吐了吐舌头，还做了一个调皮的神色。
"But you fought Tian Xiang earlier..."
“ kě nǐ gāng cái yǔ tián xiāng dòu fǎ ……”
“可你刚才与田襄斗法……”
"Very brave and decisive, right?"
“ hěn yǒng lì guǒ jué duì ba ？”
“很勇厉果决对吧？”
Mo'er laughed: "Since I have regained my past life's memories and personality, it’s natural that some of those traits would influence me. Especially the Apsara King's power; in this life, I am too weak to handle such strength. At that moment, my character was closer to my past self."
yuè ér xiào qǐ lái le ：“ jì rán shì huò dé le qián shì de jì yì ， xìng gé ， qì zhì duō shǎo dāng rán huì shòu yī xiē yǐng xiǎng de ， yóu qí shì ā xiū luó wáng de lì liàng ， zhè yī shì de wǒ ， xìng gé tài róu ruò ， gēn běn jiù bú shì hé jià yù ， nà ge shí kè ， biǎo xiàn chū lái de xìng gé ， dāng rán jiù gèng jiē jìn yú qián shì le 。”
月儿笑起来了：“既然是获得了前世的记忆，性格，气质多少当然会受一些影响的，尤其是阿修罗王的力量，这一世的我，性格太柔弱，根本就不适合驾驭，那个时刻，表现出来的性格，当然就更接近于前世了。”
"Ah, I see."
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。”
“原来如此。”
Lin Xuan's doubts finally cleared.
lín xuān xīn zhōng de yí huò zhōng yú sàn qù 。
林轩心中的疑惑终于散去。
Mo'er then leaned her head against his shoulder. The former Apsara had once restrained the entire world with her power; now, she exhibited a tender side befitting a young girl.
yuè ér zé jiāng tóu kào zài le shào nián de jiān tóu ， xī rì de ā xiū luó ， ràng sān qiān shì jiè shù shǒu ， cǐ kè ， què biǎo xiàn chū xiǎo nǚ ér yì bān de wēn róu 。
月儿则将头靠在了少年的肩头，昔日的阿修罗，让三千世界束手，此刻，却表现出小女儿一般的温柔。
"And where are we right now? As I said, we need to go back a million years. Back then, you were Hua Yu, but your personality was vastly different. You were overly conventional and too easily trusting."
“ zhì yú wǒ men xiàn zài shēn zài hé dì ， wǒ yǐ jīng shuō guò ， yào cóng jǐ bǎi wàn nián shuō qǐ ， nà shí hòu shào yé nǐ shì huà yǔ zhēn rén ， rán ér xìng gé ， què yǔ xiàn zài dà bù yí yàng ， tài guò yū fǔ ， yě tài guò róng yì qīng xìn rén le 。”
“至于我们现在身在何地，我已经说过，要从几百万年说起，那时候少爷你是化羽真人，然而性格，却与现在大不一样，太过迂腐，也太过容易轻信人了。”
"Conventional, trusting others—do you mean Tian Xiang?" Lin Xuan's face showed deep thought.
“ yū fǔ ， qīng xìn bié rén ， nǐ shì shuō tián xiāng nà jiā huo ？” lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī de shén sè 。
“迂腐，轻信别人，你是说田襄那家伙？”林轩脸上露出若有所思的神色。
"Yes, no one else," Mo'er sighed. "Tian Xiang is a genius, but his nature is treacherous. I had advised you many times to be wary of him, but back then, you didn’t listen."
“ bù cuò ， chú le tā ， hái huì yǒu shuí ne 。” yuè ér tàn le kǒu qì ：“ tián xiāng ， píng xīn lái shuō ， yě shì tiān cái ， kě xī què shì kǒu fù mì jiàn ， xīn xìng gèng shì hěn dú ， dāng nián ， wǒ yě céng quàn guò nǐ duō cì ， ràng nǐ yào jǐng tì tián xiāng nà jiā huo ， kě nà shí hòu de nǐ ， què shì bù yǐ wéi rán 。”
“不错，除了他，还会有谁呢。”月儿叹了口气：“田襄，平心来说，也是天才，可惜却是口腹蜜剑，心性更是狠毒，当年，我也曾劝过你多次，让你要警惕田襄那家伙，可那时候的你，却是不以为然。”
Lin Xuan was speechless about his past self and listened as Mo'er continued:
lín xuān tīng dào zhè lǐ yě shí fēn wú yǔ ， duì yú zì jǐ de qián shì ， àn àn bǐ shì ， ér yuè ér de shēng yīn ， zé jì xù chuán rù ěr lǐ ：
林轩听到这里也十分无语，对于自己的前世，暗暗鄙视，而月儿的声音，则继续传入耳里：
"Seeing this fellow's wolfish ambitions and numerous schemes, I could do little alone. But I wouldn't ignore it either. Back then, I still excelled in divination; although fate is unpredictable, the signs were not favorable. Unfortunately, you didn’t heed my advice back then, so I had to secretly prepare..."
“ yǎn kàn zhè jiā huo láng zi yě xīn ， zhū duō suàn jì ， wǒ què shì gū zhǎng nán míng ， dàn zì rán yě bú huì zuò shì bù lǐ ， nà shí hòu de wǒ ， hái jīng shàn bo suàn zhī shù ， suī shuō tiān jī nán cè ， dàn cóng guà xiàng shàng fēn biàn ， wǒ men què yě shì xiōng duō jí shǎo le ， piān piān nà shí hòu nǐ yòu bù tīng quàn ， suǒ yǐ wǒ zhǐ yǒu yí gè rén ， àn zuò zhǔn bèi le ……”
“眼看这家伙狼子野心，诸多算计，我却是孤掌难鸣，但自然也不会坐视不理，那时候的我，还精擅卜算之术，虽说天机难测，但从卦象上分辨，我们却也是凶多吉少了，偏偏那时候你又不听劝，所以我只有一个人，暗做准备了……”
"You mean you were already planning your rebirth at that time?" Lin Xuan's face showed surprise.
“ nǐ shì shuō ， nà shí hòu ， nǐ jiù zài wèi tóu tāi zhuǎn shì zuò móu huà le ？” lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī yà rán zhī sè 。
“你是说，那时候，你就在为投胎转世做谋划了？”林轩脸上露出一丝讶然之色。
"Exactly," Mo'er laughed triumphantly. "It wasn't just for rebirth; back then, I thought Tian Xiang would be hard to deal with. Unfortunately, the more I feared something, the more likely it was to happen. This fellow truly became a true ancestor realm cultivator. Luckily, I found this treasure back then."
“ bù cuò 。” yuè ér zé dé yì de xiào qǐ lái le ：“ kě bù jǐn jǐn shì wèi le zhuǎn shì ， dāng nián ， wǒ biàn xiǎng guò ， nà shí hòu de tián xiāng bì dìng bù hǎo duì fù ， méi xiǎng dào yuè dān xīn shén me ， yuè róng yì yù jiàn ， zhè jiā huo ， zhēn chéng le dào zǔ jìng jiè de qiáng zhě ， hái hǎo ， wǒ dāng nián zhǎo dào zhè me yī jiàn bǎo wù 。”
“不错。”月儿则得意的笑起来了：“可不仅仅是为了转世，当年，我便想过，那时候的田襄必定不好对付，没想到越担心什么，越容易遇见，这家伙，真成了道祖境界的强者，还好，我当年找到这么一件宝物。”
"Treasure?"
“ bǎo wù ？”
“宝物？”
"Yes, that's where we are now. It’s actually inside a treasure, somewhat similar to spatial artifacts, but trivial treasures like Musty Treasures pale in comparison. I call it the River of Time and Space."
“ bù cuò ， jiù shì wǒ men xiàn zài suǒ zài de dì diǎn ， qí shí shì zài yī bǎo wù lǐ miàn ， yǔ kōng jiān fǎ bǎo yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù ， dàn xū yú zhēn bǎo yǔ tā xiāng bǐ shí zài shì ruò bào le ， wǒ chēng hū wǒ wéi shí kōng zhī hé 。”
“不错，就是我们现在所在的地点，其实是在一宝物里面，与空间法宝有几分相似之处，但须臾珍宝与它相比实在是弱爆了，我称呼我为时空之河。”
"The River of Time and Space? Isn’t that a mountain?" Lin Xuan was surprised.
“ shí kōng zhī hé ， zhè bú shì yī zuò shān me ？” lín xuān yǒu xiē chà yì le 。
“时空之河，这不是一座山么？”林轩有些诧异了。
"Originally a river; over time, it transformed into a mountain. This type of treasure is never static."
“ yuán běn shì hé liú ， cāng hǎi sāng tián ， zé biàn zuò le shān ， zhè zhǒng lèi xíng de bǎo wù ， yuán běn jiù bú huì yī chéng bù biàn 。”
“原本是河流，沧海桑田，则变做了山，这种类型的宝物，原本就不会一成不变。”
Mo'er's voice continued to resonate in his ears, but he didn't need to dwell on this point since it wasn't crucial. According to Mo'er, the item had existed from the beginning of creation and, while not as powerful as the Five-Dragon Seal or Ten Thousand Volumes of Heaven, excelled in other aspects.
yuè ér de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr biān ， lín xuān zé tīng dé sì dǒng fēi dǒng ， dàn yě bù yòng jiū jié zhè ge wèn tí ， bì jìng zhè yì diǎn gēn běn jiù shì bú zhòng yào dì 。
月儿的声音传入耳边，林轩则听得似懂非懂，但也不用纠结这个问题，毕竟这一点根本就是不重要地。
It was like a hidden treasure between time and space, making any attacks ineffective. Therefore, hiding here was safe; even with Tian Xiang's divine powers, it would take him three years to uncover its secrets.
fǎn zhèng jù yuè ér suǒ shuō ， zhè shì yī jiàn hóng méng chū shēng shí jiù dàn shēng de bǎo wù ， suī rán bǐ bù shàng wǔ lóng xǐ yǔ wàn juàn tiān shū ， dàn zài yī xiē bié de de fāng miàn hái yóu yǒu shèng guò 。
反正据月儿所说，这是一件鸿蒙初生时就诞生的宝物，虽然比不上五龙玺与万卷天书，但在一些别的的方面还尤有胜过。
"According to you, we have three years to prepare?"
tā jiù rú tóng zài shí jiān yǔ kōng jiān de jiā fèng zhī zhōng ， suǒ yǐ rèn hé gōng jī dōu méi yǒu yòng ， suǒ yǐ cáng zài lǐ miàn shì ān quán de ， tián xiāng jiù suàn yǒu tōng tiān chè dì de shén tōng ， méi yǒu sān nián de guāng yīn ， yě xiū xiǎng jiāng zhè bǎo wù de mì mì kàn pò 。
它就如同在时间与空间的夹缝之中，所以任何攻击都没有用，所以藏在里面是安全的，田襄就算有通天彻地的神通，没有三年的光阴，也休想将这宝物的秘密看破。
"Yes," the Apsara King nodded with a smile.
“ zhào nǐ zhè me shuō ， wǒ men hái yǒu sān nián de guāng yīn lái zuò zhǔn bèi le ？”
“照你这么说，我们还有三年的光阴来做准备了？”
Three years?
“ bù cuò 。” ā xiū luó wáng xiào zhe diǎn le diǎn tóu 。
“不错。”阿修罗王笑着点了点头。
Lin Xuan’s face showed a serious expression. Three years might seem long, but for cultivators, it was merely an instant. At their level, closing off in seclusion could last millions of years; what could be done in three years? (To be continued...)
Lin Xuan's expression was a bit dazed. The Apsara King, however, looked radiant to the extreme, her every frown and smile exuding boundless tenderness. But compared to Mo'er from the past, this gentleness also carried an air of grandeur that made one feel like they were basking in spring breeze or sipping fine wine.
"How could it be? Master, do you not recognize me?"
"Are you Mo'er or the Apsara?" Lin Xuan sighed.
"It makes no difference," she replied with a smile.
The beautiful woman laughed: "Mo'er is the Apsara and the Apsara is Mo'er. They are all I am."
Well, such an answer was essentially meaningless.
Lin Xuan was speechless but secretly relieved. Regardless of anything else, the fact that he had regained the Apsara King's strength and memories without any estrangement was already the best outcome possible.
Why should he demand so much more? Why did he need to clarify everything? As they say, it’s better to be wise in folly...
With this thought, Lin Xuan felt at ease. However, soon after, another question popped into his mind: "By the way, where is Tian Xiang?"
No matter how relaxed he was, Lin Xuan would not forget about this formidable enemy.
Since he started on his cultivation path, Lin Xuan had never felt so desperate. The opponent seemed almost invincible.
Just a moment ago, they had fought to the point of turning heaven and earth upside down. How could Tian Xiang have disappeared in just a blink of an eye?
All that remained was more confusion, clearly due to this Apsara before him.
Lin Xuan's face showed a questioning look.
"Master, don't worry; Tian Xiang won't find his way here for at least three years," the Apsara said with a sweet smile.
Such beauty and charm were hard to describe. Compared to Mo'er, she had a similar appearance but a completely different demeanor.
She was more noble yet more approachable. Her grace was like a gentle breeze, her allure indescribable.
"Um... Mo'er, I'll still call you that. You said Tian Xiang won't find us here. Why is that?"
Lin Xuan's face showed confusion.
He had already experienced Tian Xiang's strength; as the top cultivator among true immortals, he could almost do anything.
What did it mean when you couldn’t find this place?
"And, Yuanyuan, where are my big brother and his group?"
"Master, rest assured. Everyone else is in a safe location."
"That’s good."
Hearing what the Apsara said, Lin Xuan felt relieved, but his doubts still lingered. He waited silently for her explanation.
By the way, the mobile game *A Thousand Refinements* will go live on May 21st. I'll be playing it as well; welcome everyone to explore this world with me!
"Speaking of where we are now, we need to go back a million years."
"A million years?"
"Yes."
The girl nodded: "Master, you know that my past life was the Apsara and yours was Hua Yu..."
"Wait, your past life?"
Lin Xuan immediately grasped the key point: "You said past life. So are you really Mo'er?"
"Of course," she laughed.
The girl continued: "I am definitely Mo'er. Although I have regained my past life's strength and memories, and my appearance has been restored, it is based on this life. Therefore, I am not the Apsara; I am still Mo'er."
