shòu yāo xié ？
受要挟？
Would he be coerced into submission?
yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé qǐ huì shì guāi guāi jiù fàn de zhǔ ér ？
以林轩的性格岂会是乖乖就范的主儿？
Lin Xuan's personality wouldn't allow him to be a docile subordinate. If it came to that, he was willing to risk everything, but of course, he would only do so as a last resort.
rú guǒ yǒu bì yào tā qíng yuàn pīn gè yú sǐ wǎng pò ， dāng rán ， ruò fēi wàn bù dé yǐ ， tā bú huì zhè me zuò 。
如果有必要他情愿拼个鱼死网破，当然，若非万不得已，他不会这么做。
In fact, danger and opportunity coexisted. The key lay in whether one could seize the opportunity. Looking at the Phoenix Fairy before him, Lin Xuan's mind began to formulate a plan.
qí shí wēi xiǎn yǔ jī yù shì bìng cún de ， guān jiàn shì kàn nǐ néng fǒu zhuā zhù ， kàn zhuó yǎn qián de kǒng què xiān zi ， yí gè jì huà qiǎo rán chū xiàn zài le lín xuān de nǎo hǎi zhōng 。
其实危险与机遇是并存的，关键是看你能否抓住，看着眼前的孔雀仙子，一个计划悄然出现在了林轩的脑海中。
To be her bodyguard?
dāng bǎo biāo ？
当保镖？
Let’s see who uses whom. Lin Xuan's lips curled slightly. With this woman's appearance, perhaps his long-standing problem might finally be resolved. The only trouble was that golden aura in his dantian.
jìng shuí lì yòng shuí zán men zǒu zhe qiáo ， lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo wēi wēi shàng qiào ， yì zhí yǐ lái de nán tí ， shuō bù dìng huì yīn wèi zhè ge nǚ rén de chū xiàn yíng rèn ér jiě ， wéi yī de má fán ， jiù shì nà dào cún zài yú zì jǐ dān tián qì hǎi zhōng de jīn máng 。
竟谁利用谁咱们走着瞧，林轩的嘴角微微上翘，一直以来的难题，说不定会因为这个女人的出现迎刃而解，唯一的麻烦，就是那道存在于自己丹田气海中的金芒。
Get up, Lin Xuan thought curiously. The opponent was indeed a transformed-stage monster cultivator, but he wasn't an ordinary condensation stage cultivator either. Moreover, the Phoenix Fairy had clearly been severely injured; logically speaking, even if he couldn’t resist her, he shouldn’t be completely defenseless. But that golden aura—whether it was the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield or sword energy—couldn’t stop it at all. Something with such power could only come from…
qǐ lái ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yě yǒu xiē qí guài 。
起来，林轩心中也有些奇怪。
Lin Xuan recalled a certain ancient text and his eyes flashed with excitement. However, his composure hid this well; the momentary gleam vanished quickly.
duì fāng shì huà xíng qī de yāo xiū méi cuò ， kě zì jǐ yě bú shì pǔ tōng de níng dān qī xiū xiān ， hé kuàng kǒng què xiān zi míng míng shēn shòu zhòng shāng ， àn lǐ shuō ， zì jǐ jiù suàn bù dí ， yě bù zhì yú sī háo dōu méi yǒu huán shǒu zhī lì ， kě gāng gāng nà dào jīn máng ， bù guǎn shì jiǔ tiān líng dùn ， hái shì jiàn qì ， dōu bù néng zǔ dǎng fēn háo ， yǒu zhè zhǒng wēi lì de ， chú fēi shì ……
对方是化形期的妖修没错，可自己也不是普通的凝丹期修仙，何况孔雀仙子明明身受重伤，按理说，自己就算不敌，也不至于丝毫都没有还手之力，可刚刚那道金芒，不管是九天灵盾，还是剑气，都不能阻挡分毫，有这种威力的，除非是……
"How about that? Fellow Daoist, have you made up your mind yet? If you temporarily serve as my bodyguard, I will naturally return your freedom once my injuries heal," said the Phoenix Fairy, tilting her head and speaking with a seductive voice.
lín xuān xiǎng qǐ le mǒu běn kàn guò de shàng gǔ diǎn jí ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ jīng guāng ， lǐ miàn jìng yǐn yǐn hán yǒu xǐ yuè xīng fèn zhī sè ， bù guò yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， zì rán yǐn cáng dé jí hǎo ， yī shǎn jí méi 。
林轩想起了某本看过的上古典籍，眼中闪过一缕精光，里面竟隐隐含有喜悦兴奋之色，不过以林轩的城府，自然隐藏得极好，一闪即没。
"I can't do it." Lin Xuan shook his head without hesitation.
“ zěn me yàng 。 dào yǒu kě xiǎng hǎo le 。 zhǐ yào zàn shí zuò běn xiān zi dì bǎo biāo 。 děng wǒ shāng shì hǎo zhuǎn 。 wǒ zì rán huì hái nǐ zì yóu 。” kǒng què xiān zi yī yǎng zhēn 。 shēng yīn chōng mǎn yòu huò dì dào 。
“怎么样。道友可想好了。只要暂时做本仙子地保镖。等我伤势好转。我自然会还你自由。”孔雀仙子一仰臻。声音充满诱惑地道。
"What?" The Phoenix Fairy's eyes widened in shock. This young man was clearly cunning; did he not understand the principle of being able to bend or break? Wasn’t he trying to force a confrontation?
“ bàn bú dào 。” lín xuān xiǎng yě méi xiǎng jiù yáo le yáo tóu 。
“办不到。”林轩想也没想就摇了摇头。
"Do you fear that I will activate my restraints and kill you now?" The Phoenix Fairy spoke slowly, her voice icy.
“ shén me 。” kǒng què xiān zi dèng dà le shuāng yǎn 。 mǎn liǎn jīng è 。 zhè xiǎo zi míng míng shì xīn sī líng lóng dì jiā huo 。 nán dào lián dà zhàng fū néng qū néng shēn dì dào lǐ yě bù dǒng 。 xiǎng yào yú sǐ wǎng pò ？
“什么。”孔雀仙子瞪大了双眼。满脸惊愕。这小子明明是心思玲珑地家伙。难道连大丈夫能屈能伸地道理也不懂。想要鱼死网破？
"I don't." Lin Xuan laughed heartily. "Cultivators seek longevity; who wouldn't cherish their lives."
“ nǐ bù pà wǒ xiàn zài dòng jìn zhì shā le nǐ me ？” kǒng què xiān zi yī zì yī dùn dì shuō 。 shēng yīn bīng hán dào le jí chù 。
“你不怕我现在动禁制杀了你么？”孔雀仙子一字一顿地说。声音冰寒到了极处。
He paused, and the Phoenix Fairy bit her teeth, waiting for him to continue.
me bù pà 。” lín xuān hā hā dà xiào le qǐ lái ：“ xiū xiān zhǐ wèi cháng shēng 。 yòu yǒu shuí huì bù zhēn xī zì jǐ dì shēng mìng 。”
么不怕。”林轩哈哈大笑了起来：“修仙只为长生。又有谁会不珍惜自己地生命。”
"However, I am used to going it alone and detest being bound by others. Without freedom, I would rather die," Lin Xuan said firmly, not showing any fear in his eyes.
dào zhè lǐ 。 tā dùn le yī dùn 。 kǒng què xiān zi yǎo le yǎo bèi chǐ 。 děng zhe tā shuō huà 。
到这里。他顿了一顿。孔雀仙子咬了咬贝齿。等着他说话。
"You want me to kill you now?" The Phoenix Fairy said with a murderous look on her face.
“ bù guò lín mǒu rén dú lái dú wǎng guàn le ， zuì tǎo yàn dì jiù shì bèi rén guǎn shù ， méi zì yóu ， wú níng sǐ 。”
“不过林某人独来独往惯了，最讨厌地就是被人管束，没自由，吾宁死。”
"I can do that, but before acting, please consider this: although I was ambushed, I still have some fighting power. Using some secret techniques, I can contain the golden aura within my body for two or three minutes at most. That time is more than enough for me to fight to the death with you."
zhǐ shì zàn shí ràng nǐ dāng běn xiān zi de bǎo biāo ér yǐ ， děng wǒ shāng shì hǎo zhuǎn ， huī fù fǎ lì ， zì rán huì jiāng zì yóu hái nǐ 。”
只是暂时让你当本仙子的保镖而已，等我伤势好转，恢复法力，自然会将自由还你。”
The Phoenix Fairy's face turned red with anger, but she had lived for a thousand years and could endure this. Honestly speaking, Lin Xuan’s threats were not exaggerated…
zi shuō dé jiǎn dān ， dào shí shí yán ràng wǒ zěn me bàn ， zhǎo shuí kū qù ？” lín xuān mǎn liǎn de bù yǐ wéi rán 。
子说得简单，到时食言让我怎么办，找谁哭去？”林轩满脸的不以为然。
One who was willing to risk everything dared to pull down an emperor. If he truly sacrificed his life, she would have no choice.
“ nǐ bù xiāng xìn wǒ de huà ， yǐ wéi běn xiān zi huì qī piàn nǐ yí gè xiǎo xiǎo de níng dān qī xiū xiān ma ？”
“你不相信我的话，以为本仙子会欺骗你一个小小的凝丹期修仙吗？”
"Even if you win in the end, my death will come with a price. Do you think your situation will be any better then?" The Phoenix Fairy fell silent. Lin Xuan's combination of threats and inducements hit her hard. Although she was stronger than several Core Formation stage experts like Tai Xu Daoist, when it came to scheming, beasts were no match for humans.
“ tán bù shàng xìn yǔ bù xìn ， zhǐ shì zài xià shuō guò ， wǒ de mìng yùn gèng xǐ huān zhǎng wò zài zì jǐ dì shǒu lǐ 。” lín xuān dīng zhe kǒng què xiān zi de yǎn jīng ， sī háo méi yǒu wèi jù 。
“谈不上信与不信，只是在下说过，我的命运更喜欢掌握在自己地手里。”林轩盯着孔雀仙子的眼睛，丝毫没有畏惧。
"Do you want me to release you now? Or do you wish to cooperate?" Lin Xuan didn't have such grandiose demands; he just wanted some sincerity from her. Seeing that his fish had taken the bait and feeling happy inside, he showed no outward signs of it.
nà wǒ xiàn zài jiù shā le nǐ 。”
那我现在就杀了你。”
The Phoenix Fairy was a bit confused. She had been the one doing the coercion, but now she seemed to be cooperating. But at this moment, she didn’t have the energy to nitpick over details. As Lin Xuan said, if she truly parted ways with this annoying cultivator, her current condition made it impossible for her to find another bodyguard in the Quinyi Mountains. As a mid-stage transformed beast and the renowned Phoenix Lord of the Quinyi Mountains, she might have no other choice but to die here.
“ xiān zi dāng rán kě yǐ zhè me zuò ， dàn dòng shǒu qián ， yě qǐng kǎo lǜ qīng chǔ ， lín mǒu suī rán zhōng le àn suàn ， dàn bìng fēi sī háo huán shǒu zhī lì dōu méi yǒu ， yòng yī xiē mì shù jiāng tǐ nèi dì nà lǚ jīn máng kùn zhù ， shí jiān jiǔ le zuò bú dào ， liǎng sān fēn zhōng hái shì yǒu bǎ wò de ， ér zhè diǎn shí jiān duì lín mǒu lái shuō yǐ jīng zú gòu le ， yǐ xiān zi xiàn zài de shēn tǐ zhuàng kuàng wǒ zú kě yǐ yǔ pīn gè yú sǐ wǎng pò 。”
“仙子当然可以这么做，但动手前，也请考虑清楚，林某虽然中了暗算，但并非丝毫还手之力都没有，用一些秘术将体内地那缕金芒困住，时间久了做不到，两三分钟还是有把握的，而这点时间对林某来说已经足够了，以仙子现在的身体状况我足可以与拼个鱼死网破。”
Thinking of this, the Phoenix Fairy felt dejected as she looked at Lin Xuan deeply: "What do you want? Just lay down your terms."
kǒng què xiān zi mǎn miàn nù róng ， dàn tā huó le qiān nián zhī jiǔ ， zhè diǎn rěn nài lì hái shì yǒu de ， píng xīn lái shuō ， lín xuān de zhè fān wēi xié què shí méi yǒu kuā dà zhī chù ……
孔雀仙子满面怒容，但她活了千年之久，这点忍耐力还是有的，平心来说，林轩的这番威胁确实没有夸大之处……
"There’s nothing much. It's only right that I reciprocate when someone holds my life in their hands. For your sake, I will have some leverage over you. This way, we can work together with a common goal," said Lin Xuan.
shě de yī shēn guǎ gǎn bǎ huáng dì lā xià mǎ ， rú guǒ tā zhēn dì pīn le xìng mìng bú yào ， zì jǐ hái zhēn ná tā méi yǒu bàn fǎ 。
舍得一身剐敢把皇帝拉下马，如果他真地拼了性命不要，自己还真拿他没有办法。
With these words, he raised his right hand and flicked it lightly. A small green flame the size of an egg leaped out from his palm.
“ hé kuàng jiù suàn xiān zi zuì hòu yíng le ， lín mǒu yǔn luò ， yě bù kě néng sī háo dài jià dōu méi yǒu fù chū ， nà shí hòu shāng shàng jiā shāng ， xiān zi yǐ wéi de jǐng kuàng yòu néng hǎo dào nǎ lǐ qù me ？”
“何况就算仙子最后赢了，林某陨落，也不可能丝毫代价都没有付出，那时候伤上加伤，仙子以为的景况又能好到哪里去么？”
Green Illusory Fire!
kǒng què xiān zi mò rán ， lín xuān zhè fān ruǎn yìng jiān shī huà jī zhòng le tā dì yào hài ， suī rán cóng xiū wèi lái shuō tā bǐ tài xū zhēn rén děng jǐ gè yuán yīng qī lǎo guài hái shèng shàng yī chóu ， dàn lún dào gōu xīn dòu jiǎo ， yāo shòu bì jìng bú shì rén lèi de duì shǒu 。
孔雀仙子默然，林轩这番软硬兼施话击中了她地要害，虽然从修为来说她比太虚真人等几个元婴期老怪还胜上一筹，但轮到勾心斗角，妖兽毕竟不是人类的对手。
The Phoenix Fairy narrowed her eyes. She was familiar with this fire; she had easily blocked one of its attacks before, and its power didn't fall short of that of a Core Formation stage expert's abilities.
“ nǐ yù rú hé ， xiǎng wǒ xiàn zài jiù fàng le nǐ me ？”
“你欲如何，想我现在就放了你么？”
What does he want to do?
mǒu bìng méi yǒu zhè yàng de shē qiú ， zhǐ shì xiān zi xiǎng yào hé zuò ， zěn me yě yào ná chū yì diǎn chéng yì lái le 。” lín xuān jiàn yú ér yǐ jīng shàng gōu ， xīn qíng dà hǎo ， bù guò biǎo miàn shàng ， què yì diǎn yì sè yě méi yǒu lù chū 。
某并没有这样的奢求，只是仙子想要合作，怎么也要拿出一点诚意来了。”林轩见鱼儿已经上钩，心情大好，不过表面上，却一点异色也没有露出。
The answer soon became clear. Lin Xuan held the flame in his right hand while using his left to cast a spell.
kǒng què xiān zi tīng dé yǒu diǎn mí hū ， míng míng shì zì jǐ yāo xié duì fāng ， zěn me sān rào liǎng rào ， jiù biàn chéng le xié shǒu hé zuò ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā yǐ méi yǒu xīn qíng jì jiào zhè xiē xì zhī mò jié ， zhèng xiàng lín xuān shuō de ， rú guǒ tā zhēn de yǔ zhè kě wù de xiū xiān yī pāi liǎng sàn ， yǐ xiàn zài zì jǐ dì shēn tǐ zhuàng kuàng ， gēn běn jiù bù kě néng zài zhǎo dào dì èr gè bǎo biāo ， nà zì jǐ táng táng huà xíng zhōng qī de yāo shòu ， zài kuí yīn shān mài yě shēng míng hè hè dì kǒng què lǐng zhǔ ， kǒng pà zhēn de zhǐ yǒu zài zhè lǐ yǔn luò yī tú 。
孔雀仙子听得有点迷糊，明明是自己要挟对方，怎么三绕两绕，就变成了携手合作，但此时此刻，她已没有心情计较这些细枝末节，正像林轩说的，如果她真的与这可恶的修仙一拍两散，以现在自己地身体状况，根本就不可能再找到第二个保镖，那自己堂堂化形中期的妖兽，在奎阴山脉也声名赫赫地孔雀领主，恐怕真的只有在这里陨落一途。
"Quickly."
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， kǒng què xiān zi yī zhèn xiè qì ， shēn shēn dì kàn le yī yǎn lín xuān ：“ nǐ jiū jìng xiǎng yào rú hé ， huà xià dào ér lái hǎo le 。”
想到这里，孔雀仙子一阵泄气，深深地看了一眼林轩：“你究竟想要如何，划下道儿来好了。”
The flame flickered as it appeared green overall but had a small black dot at its center, which didn’t dissipate.
“ méi shén me ， zhǐ shì lái ér bù wǎng fēi lǐ yě ， xiān zi shǒu zhōng wò yǒu zài xià de shēng sǐ ， wǒ duì xiān zi ， zì rán yě yào yǒu suǒ chè zhǒu ， zhè yàng dà jiā hé zuò ， cái huì tóng xīn tóng dé 。”
“没什么，只是来而不往非礼也，仙子手中握有在下的生死，我对仙子，自然也要有所掣肘，这样大家合作，才会同心同德。”
At this moment, that black aura was extracted by Lin Xuan’s secret technique and condensed into a tiny pill.
wán zhè huà ， lín xuān tái qǐ yòu shǒu ， qīng qīng yī fān ， hū dì yī shēng ， yī tuán jī dàn dà xiǎo de bì lǜ huǒ yàn zài zhǎng xīn zhōng yuè shēng qǐ lái 。
完这话，林轩抬起右手，轻轻一翻，呼地一声，一团鸡蛋大小的碧绿火焰在掌心中跃升起来。
This was the essence of the Absolute Poison Pill. Even if Core Formation stage experts were immune in the spirit world, Lin Xuan believed that even such old monsters would be unable to withstand it on Earth.
bì huàn yōu huǒ ！
碧幻幽火！
"Take this; once our cooperation ends, I will help you neutralize the poison in your dantian," said Lin Xuan.
kǒng què xiān zi mī le mī yǎn ， duì zhè huǒ yàn tā yìn xiàng shēn kè ， céng qīng yì dǎng xià le yī cì zì jǐ de gōng jī ， qí wēi lì bù bǐ yuán yīng qī lǎo guài de shén tōng xùn sè 。
孔雀仙子眯了眯眼，对这火焰她印象深刻，曾轻易挡下了一次自己的攻击，其威力不比元婴期老怪的神通逊色。
The Phoenix Fairy hesitated but then accepted. With her keen eyesight, she saw how serious this poison was. After all their discussions, she understood that if she didn’t submit, it would only lead to a mutual demise. She gritted her teeth and swallowed the pill: "That’s enough!"
zhè xiǎo zi xiǎng yào gàn shén me ？
这小子想要干什么？
She felt depressed; just now, she had held his life in her hands, but after such a short time, he seemed to have taken control.
dá àn hěn kuài jiù jiē xiǎo le 。
答案很快就揭晓了。
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Phoenix Fairy wasn’t a mindless beauty, she was still from the Quinyi Mountains where beasts revered strength over cunning. She might be too inexperienced for now!
lín xuān yòu shǒu pěng zháo huǒ yàn ， zuǒ shǒu què qiā le yī dào fǎ jué ， qīng qīng yì diǎn 。
林轩右手捧着火焰，左手却掐了一道法诀，轻轻一点。
Everything went smoothly, and they could now discuss their cooperation. Working together would benefit both sides; perhaps she could solve his long-standing problem.
Would he be coerced into submission?
Lin Xuan's personality wouldn't allow him to be a docile subordinate. If it came to that, he was willing to risk everything, but of course, he would only do so as a last resort.
In fact, danger and opportunity coexisted. The key lay in whether one could seize the opportunity. Looking at the Phoenix Fairy before him, Lin Xuan's mind began to formulate a plan.

Lin Xuan recalled a certain ancient text and his eyes flashed with excitement. However, his composure hid this well; the momentary gleam vanished quickly.
"How about that? Fellow Daoist, have you made up your mind yet? If you temporarily serve as my bodyguard, I will naturally return your freedom once my injuries heal," said the Phoenix Fairy, tilting her head and speaking with a seductive voice.
"I can't do it." Lin Xuan shook his head without hesitation.
"What?" The Phoenix Fairy's eyes widened in shock. This young man was clearly cunning; did he not understand the principle of being able to bend or break? Wasn’t he trying to force a confrontation?
"Do you fear that I will activate my restraints and kill you now?" The Phoenix Fairy spoke slowly, her voice icy.
