zhè yī cì yǒu le lín xuān pèi hé 。 jiě chú jìn zhì de guò chéng zì rán fēi cháng shùn lì ， piàn kè hòu ， kǒng què xiān zi fǎ jué yī shōu 。 yě suō huí le tóu 。 liǎn shàng yī jiù bǎo chí zhe měi lì ér yòu rén de yūn hóng 。
这一次有了林轩配合。解除禁制的过程自然非常顺利，片刻后，孔雀仙子法诀一收。也缩回了头。脸上依旧保持着美丽而诱人的晕红。
This time, Lin Xuan was cooperating. The process of removing the restrictions went very smoothly as a result. After a moment, the Fairy Peacock withdrew her hand and retracted her head. Her face still retained its beautiful and alluring flush.
“ nǐ de jìn zhì yǐ jiě 。 xiān zi duì xiàn le chéng nuò 。 wǒ men 。 hòu huì yǒu qī 。”
“你的禁制已解。仙子兑现了承诺。我们。后会有期。”
"Your restrictions have been lifted. The fairy has fulfilled her promise. We will meet again."
shuō zhè huà shí 。 kǒng què xiān shèn zhì bù gǎn shì lín xuān de yǎn jīng 。 yǔ bì 。 shēn xíng yī zhuǎn 。 qī cǎi líng guāng yǒng xiàn 。 huà wèi yī dào yào mù de jīng hóng 。 qǐng kè jiān 。 jiù xiāo shī de wú yǐng wú zōng 。
说这话时。孔雀仙甚至不敢视林轩的眼睛。语毕。身形一转。七彩灵光涌现。化为一道耀目的惊虹。顷刻间。就消失的无影无踪。
When she spoke these words, even the Fairy Peacock dared not look Lin Xuan in the eye. After finishing, she turned around, and a colorful spiritual light emerged, transforming into a dazzling rainbow that vanished without a trace.
wàng zhe yuǎn fāng tiān jì de cán yǐng 。 lín xuān xià yì shí de shēn chū shǒu lái 。 mō le mō zuǐ chún 。 sì hū liú yǒu xiāng qì de yú yùn 。
望着远方天际的残影。林轩下意识的伸出手来。摸了摸嘴唇。似乎留有香气的余韵。
Lin Xuan looked at the faint image of the fairy in the distance, his hand instinctively reaching out to touch his lips, as if still feeling the lingering fragrance.
suí jí xīn zhōng yī sōng 。 zhè de jié guǒ 。 kě shuō shì wán měi yǐ jí le 。
随即心中一松。这的结果。可说是完美以极了。
He then let out a sigh of relief. The result was almost perfect. After such a harrowing experience, he could emerge unscathed; it seemed like he had been incredibly lucky.
jīng guò gāng gāng de wú mào 。 zì jǐ néng gòu wú sǔn 。 kě wèi fú dà mìng dà 。
经过刚刚的无冒。自己能够无损。可谓福大命大。
The Fairy Peacock not only managed to keep her promise but also remembered it. This outcome was far beyond his expectations.
kǒng què xiān zi gòu bù fān | yǐ shì jiǎo xìng yǐ jí 。 méi xiǎng dào tā yī rán huì duì chéng nuò jǐn jì 。 zhè shí zài shì tài chū hū yì liào le 。
孔雀仙子够不翻|已是侥幸以极。没想到她依然会对承诺谨记。这实在是太出乎意料了。
"Looks like my position in the fairy's heart is even higher than I imagined."
“ kàn lái 。 zì jǐ zài zhè wèi xiān zi xīn zhōng de de wèi 。 xiǎng xiàng de hái gāo a 。”
“看来。自己在这位仙子心中的的位。想象的还高啊。”
Lin Xuan smiled wryly, a mixture of amusement and self-deprecation on his face.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo lù chū yī sī zì cháo 。 pǒ wèi de de xiào le xiào 。
林轩嘴角露出一丝自嘲。颇为的的笑了笑。
Just moments ago, he had narrowly escaped death, but his gains were significant. The residual primordial spirit light was one thing; with the restrictions lifted, all that remained were benefits. In the future, when he formed an immortal embryo, these would be immensely helpful.
gāng gāng jiǔ sǐ yì shēng 。 bù guò zì jǐ de shōu yě shì fēi xiǎo 。 cán liú de běn mìng líng guāng bú yòng shuō 。 jìn zhì jiě chú 。 shèng xià lái de jiù quán shì hǎo chù 。 rì hòu jié yīng zhī shí 。 huì dà yǒu bāng zhù 。
刚刚九死一生。不过自己的收也是非小。残留的本命灵光不用说。禁制解除。剩下来的就全是好处。日后结婴之时。会大有帮助。
This wasn't just one aspect of it. He also advanced in cultivation, entering the late-stage Essence Condensation period. Initially, Lin Xuan hadn't noticed his near-death experience; he wouldn't have cared about other changes.
zhè hái jǐn jǐn shì qí yī 。
这还仅仅是其一。
But now that the Fairy Peacock had left, he could clearly see how different his current state was from before. The joy in his heart was beyond measure. As they say, those who survive great calamities are destined for good fortune. The ancients were not lying to me.
hái yǒu jiù shì xiū wèi cì jìn jí 。 tà rù le níng dān hòu qī 。 qǐ chū lín xuān bìng wèi jué 。 gāng cái mìng xuán yī xiàn 。 bú huì qù zhù yì qí tā de yì biàn 。
还有就是修为次晋级。踏入了凝丹后期。起初林轩并未觉。刚才命悬一线。不会去注意其他的异变。
Wait a minute, there might be more than just that level up.
dàn cǐ kè kǒng què xiān zi yī zǒu 。 lín xuān zì rán xiàn xiū wèi yǔ gāng gāng yǐ shì wán quán bù tóng 。 xīn zhōng de xǐ yuè kě xiǎng ér zhī 。 sú huà shuō dà nàn bù sǐ bì yǒu hòu fú 。 gǔ rén chéng bù qī wǒ 。
但此刻孔雀仙子一走。林轩自然现修为与刚刚已是完全不同。心中的喜悦可想而知。俗话说大难不死必有后福。古人诚不欺我。
Lin Xuan used Inner Vision and saw the changes in his dantian. The originally pale green spiritual energy now had a hint of dark black. But it wasn't discolored; instead, it seemed deep and beautiful.
děng děng 。 sì hū bù zhǐ shì jí 。
等等。似乎不止是级。
Lin Xuan felt the nature of this change, his expression turning strange. There was excitement, curiosity, but more than anything, anxiety.
lín xuān shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī fǎ 。 jiàn dān tián lǐ miàn 。 líng lì sì hū shēng le biàn huà 。
林轩施展内视之法。见丹田里面。灵力似乎生了变化。
After a moment's pause, Lin Xuan took a deep breath and slowly raised both hands, palms facing up.
yuán běn nà yī sī sī qīng méng méng de líng qì duō chū le yì diǎn yǒu hēi de yán sè 。 dàn bìng bù xiǎn de bān bó 。 fǎn ér yǒu yī zhǒng shēn suì de měi lì 。
原本那一丝丝青蒙蒙的灵气多出了一点黝黑的颜色。但并不显的斑驳。反而有一种深邃的美丽。
With a snap, a red light ball about the size of a fist leaped out from his right palm, emitting a glaring light. The spiritual energy inside was extraordinary; it was none other than the supreme Daoist technique.
lín xuān gǎn shòu le yī xià de xìng zhì liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng biàn gǔ guài jí 。
林轩感受了一下的性质脸上的表情变古怪极。
The light ball seemed to rise like the sun, then its surface shattered, revealing a small bird with sharp beak and claws circling above him.
yǒu jīng xǐ 。 yǒu yí huò 。 dàn gèng duō shì huàn de huàn shī 。
有惊喜。有疑惑。但更多是患的患失。
This bird let out a clear cry, flying around Lin Xuan's head, looking incredibly beautiful.
dāi le bàn xiǎng 。 lín xuān xī le kǒu qì 。 huǎn huǎn jiāng liǎng shǒu jǔ qǐ 。 píng shēn zhǎng xīn xiàng shàng
呆了半响。林轩吸了口气。缓缓将两手举起。平伸掌心向上
At the same time, his left palm also changed. A small black mist seeped through the skin and violently churned before transforming into a strange snake with a single horn on its back and two wings.
de yī shēng 。 yī lún hóng sè de guāng qiú cóng tā de yòu shǒu zhǎng xīn yuè shēng chū lái jǐn yǒu quán tou dà xiǎo 。 què chū cì mù de liàng guāng 。 lǐ miàn de líng lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 zhèng shì dào jiā de wú shàng zhēn fǎ le 。
的一声。一轮红色的光球从他的右手掌心跃升出来仅有拳头大小。却出刺目的亮光。里面的灵力非同小可。正是道家的无上真法了。
The snake shot up to hover three feet above Lin Xuan’s head.
nà guāng qiú fǎng fú chū shēng de yáng yī tiào yī tiào 。 suí jí biǎo miàn suì kāi lái 。 cóng lǐ miàn huàn huà chū yī yá jiān zuǐ lì de xiǎo niǎo 。
那光球仿佛初升的阳一跳一跳。随即表面碎开来。从里面幻化出一牙尖嘴利的小鸟。
Clearly, this was related to the dark arts.
cǐ niǎo yī shēng qīng míng 。 zài xuān de tóu dǐng pán xuán bù yǐ 。 xiǎn de měi lì yǐ jí 。
此鸟一声清鸣。在轩的头顶盘旋不已。显的美丽以极。
Even with his composure, Lin Xuan couldn't help showing signs of extreme joy. He shook both hands, breaking down the bird and snake into spiritual energy which he absorbed back into his body.
ér zài tóng yī shí jiān 。 zuǒ de zhǎng xīn tóng yàng yǒu le biàn huà 。 yī tuán | xiǎo de hēi wù jìn chū pí fū jù liè fān yǒng 。 zuì hòu huàn huà chū yī tóu shēng dú jiǎo bèi yǒu shuāng chì de guài shé 。
而在同一时间。左的掌心同样有了变化。一团|小的黑雾浸出皮肤剧烈翻涌。最后幻化出一头生独角背有双翅的怪蛇。
Three good things in one go! Such changes were unprecedented for Lin Xuan.
áng tǔ xīn 。 fēi dào le xuān tóu dǐng sān chǐ zhī chù 。
昂吐芯。飞到了轩头顶三尺之处。
Previously, relying on Yin-Yang Art, although he could master both positive and negative techniques separately, it was limited to single use only. There was no叠加effect. But now, with the balance of yin and yang, he could simultaneously cast both positive and negative spells.
xiǎn rán 。 zhè shì mó dào de tōng 。
显然。这是魔道的通。
Don't underestimate this; his strength had increased significantly.
jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ 。 kè yě rěn bú zhù lù chū le kuáng xǐ zhī sè 。 shuāng shǒu yī dǒu 。 nà xiǎo niǎo yǔ guài shé fēn jiě chéng líng lì chóng xīn bèi tā xī rù le shēn tǐ 。
即便以林轩的城府。刻也忍不住露出了狂喜之色。双手一抖。那小鸟与怪蛇分解成灵力重新被他吸入了身体。
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan calmed down. He flipped his left hand, revealing another storage bag. This was from the treasure hall where he killed that Hu surname spy. He was about to check what he had gained when suddenly, he seemed to remember something and his face turned extremely unpleasant.
zhēn shì sān xǐ lín mén zhè zhǒng yì biàn lín xuān yǐ qián shì xiǎng yě bù céng xiǎng 。
真是三喜临门这种异变林轩以前是想也不曾想。
"Damn it, how could I forget this?"
yǐ qián píng jiè zhe yīn yáng jué mì shù 。 tā suī rán tóng shí shēn jiān zhèng mó zhī zhǎng dàn què jǐn néng dān dú shǐ yòng 。 suī yě yǒu bù shǎo hǎo chù 。 què shì pǒ wèi yǒu xiàn de 。 zhì shǎo méi yǒu dié jiā de xiào guǒ 。
以前凭借着阴阳诀秘术。他虽然同时身兼正魔之长但却仅能单独使用。虽也有不少好处。却是颇为有限的。至少没有叠加的效果。
Lin Xuan muttered to himself, running a hand through his hair as he looked in the direction the Fairy Peacock had retreated. His expression kept changing as he struggled with a decision.
ér zhè cì 。 lín xuān yě bù zì jǐ de dān tián qì hǎi lǐ 。 jiū jìng shēng le shén me 。 dàn què yīn yáng tiáo hé 。 ràng tā kě yǐ tóng shī zhǎn zhèng mó liǎng zhǒng fǎ shù 。
而这次。林轩也不自己的丹田气海里。究竟生了什么。但却阴阳调和。让他可以同施展正魔两种法术。
To be honest, it was understandable why he forgot about this.
qiān wàn bú yào xiǎo kàn le 。 rú cǐ yī lái 。 tā de shí lì kě shì píng kōng bào zhǎng le bù shǎo 。
千万不要小看了。如此一来。他的实力可是凭空暴涨了不少。
Initially, Lin Xuan already had Zhou's plan and thus flattered her, pleasing her interests to gain her favor. The goal was to have her help him after removing the spiritual light restrictions.
xī le kǒu qì 。 jiāng jī dòng de xīn qíng píng fù xià qù 。 lín xuān chóng xīn huī fù le lěng jìng de biǎo qíng 。 zuǒ shǒu yī fān 。 zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng yòu duō chū le yí gè chǔ wù dài 。
吸了口气。将激动的心情平复下去。林轩重新恢复了冷静的表情。左手一翻。掌心之中又多出了一个储物袋。
Everything seemed well-planned until fate took an unexpected turn. Lin Xuan never imagined that the process would be so... intimate.
zhè shì zài cáng bǎo gé zhǎn shā le nà hú xìng jiān xì suǒ de 。 lín xuān zhèng xiǎng jiǎn diǎn yī xià lǐ miàn de shōu huò 。 tū rán 。 tā xiàng xiǎng qǐ le shén me 。 liǎn sè yī xià zi biàn de jí wéi nán kàn 。
这是在藏宝阁斩杀了那胡姓奸细所的。林轩正想检点一下里面的收获。突然。他像想起了什么。脸色一下子变的极为难看。
Worse still, in his moment of weakness, he had indecently fondled this beautiful fairy cultivator. Once he regained his senses, he was more worried about his own safety than anything else.
“ gāi sǐ 。 zěn me jiāng zhè jiàn shì qíng gěi wàng le 。”
“该死。怎么将这件事情给忘了。”
Moreover, even if he remembered the situation back then, whether he dared to ask for help was questionable.
lín xuān zì yán zì yǔ de dí gū le yī jù 。 shēn shǒu zài hòu nǎo mō le mō 。 tái qǐ tóu 。 wàng xiàng kǒng què xiān zi dùn zǒu de fāng xiàng 。| biǎo qíng biàn huàn gè bù tíng 。 xiǎn rán nán yǐ zuò xià jué dìng 。
林轩自言自语的嘀咕了一句。伸手在后脑摸了摸。抬起头。望向孔雀仙子遁走的方向。|表情变幻个不停。显然难以做下决定。
Thinking about it, Lin Xuan's lips twitched into a bitter smile.
shuō qǐ lái 。 yě zhēn bù néng guài tā 。
说起来。也真不能怪他。
However, soon his frown deepened.
qǐ chū 。 lín xuān yǐ yǒu zhōu
起初。林轩已有周
Should he go or not?
de jì huà 。 gù cái qū yì fèng chéng 。 tóu qí suǒ hào 。 ràng kǒng què xiān zi duì zì jǐ hǎo gǎn dà zēng 。
的计划。故才曲意奉承。投其所好。让孔雀仙子对自己好感大增。
The Fairy Peacock had left only moments ago. With his divine sense, he could still faintly perceive her whereabouts. For some reason, she seemed to be moving quickly. If he used all his strength, perhaps he could catch up.
mù dì shì xiǎng jiě chú líng guāng jìn zhì yǐ hòu 。 ràng zhè wèi nǚ yāo xiū bāng zì jǐ yí gè xiǎo máng 。
目的是想解除灵光禁制以后。让这位女妖修帮自己一个小忙。
But there was also risk involved.
běn lái yí bù bù dōu suàn hǎo le de 。 nǎ zhī dào xíng shì jí zhuǎn zhí xià 。 xuān zuò mèng yě bù céng xiǎng zhè jiě jìn guò chéng huì rú cǐ xiāng yàn a 。
本来一步步都算好了的。哪知道形势急转直下。轩做梦也不曾想这解禁过程会如此香艳啊。
Although the Fairy Peacock had shown him mercy and kept her promise by removing the spiritual light restrictions, it would be presumptuous to assume that she harbored any interest in him.
gèng zāo gāo de shì zì jǐ yī hú tú 。 sè lìng zhì hūn 。 jū rán bào zhe zhè wèi měi lì de nǚ yāo xiū dà sì qīng bó 。
更糟糕的是自己一糊涂。色令智昏。居然抱着这位美丽的女妖修大肆轻薄。
Women's hearts are like the ocean floor; hard to fathom.
dài qīng xǐng yǐ hòu 。 zì rán shì wèi zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng dān yōu 。 nǎ lǐ hái jì de xiān qián de móu huà 。
待清醒以后。自然是为自己的小命担忧。哪里还记的先前的谋划。
Lin Xuan, though focused on his cultivation, understood this basic principle. The prettier a woman was, the faster her mood could change.
hé kuàng 。 tuì yī wàn bù shuō jiù suàn jì dí dàng shí nà zhǒng qíng xíng 。 shì fǒu hái yǒu dǎn zi kāi kǒu 。 yě hái shì liǎng shuō 。
何况。退一万步说就算记的当时那种情形。是否还有胆子开口。也还是两说。
The Fairy Peacock had been seduced and had accumulated goodwill from stealing his treasure. It was possible that she harbored some feelings for him in her heart.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ 。 lín xuān qiān le qiān zuǐ jiǎo 。 lù chū yī sī kǔ xiào 。
想到这里。林轩牵了牵嘴角。露出一丝苦笑。
In that case, pursuing her would be easy enough.
bù guò hěn kuài 。 tā de méi tóu yòu shēn shēn zhòu qǐ 。
不过很快。他的眉头又深深皱起。
But what if...
qù hái shì bù qù 。
去还是不去。
After all, this was just one possibility.
kǒng què xiān zi lí kāi wèi jiǔ 。 yǐ zì jǐ de shén shí 。 yī jiù kě yǐ miǎn qiǎng gǎn yìng dào tā de xíng zōng 。 bù zhī wèi hé 。 fēi de sì hū kuài ó 。 zì jǐ ruò shì quán lì shī zhǎn 。 wèi shǐ zhuī bù shàng lái 。
孔雀仙子离开未久。以自己的神识。依旧可以勉强感应到她的行踪。不知为何。飞的似乎快哦。自己若是全力施展。未始追不上来。
Another scenario was completely opposite.
kě zhè yàng zuò 。 yě yǒu yí dìng de fēng xiǎn 。
可这样做。也有一定的风险。
At the time, the Fairy Peacock had been dazed by his kiss and had momentarily softened. She didn't pursue his indiscretion. But now she was calm and realized how inappropriate it was. Perhaps she regretted her actions.
suī rán gāng gāng kǒng què xiān zi le zì jǐ yī mǎ 。 shèn zhì hái jǐn jì chéng nuò 。 jiāng nà líng guāng jìn zhì yě jiān | chú 。
虽然刚刚孔雀仙子了自己一马。甚至还谨记承诺。将那灵光禁制也坚|除。
In that case, pursuing her would be walking into a trap, leading to certain death.
dàn ruò jiù cǐ tuī duàn kǒng què xiān zi duì zì jǐ yǒu yì 。 wèi miǎn bù zhī tiān gāo de hòu 。 zì yǐ wéi shì le 。
但若就此推断孔雀仙子对自己有意。未免不知天高的厚。自以为是了。
Both scenarios were highly probable. For a moment, Lin Xuan was at a loss, unsure of what to do.
nǚ rén xīn 。 hǎi dǐ zhēn 。
女人心。海底针。
A wrong move could spell disaster. The wrong choice might lead to untold suffering.
lín xuān suī rán yī xīn kǔ xiū 。 cóng wèi cháng shì guò fēng huā xuě yuè de shēng huó 。 dàn zhè jī běn de dào lǐ hái shì dǒng 。
林轩虽然一心苦修。从未尝试过风花雪月的生活。但这基本的道理还是懂。
Although his strength had increased significantly, if he and the Fairy Peacock clashed now, his chances of escaping were less than 20%.
yuè měi lì de nǚ rén biàn liǎn yuè shì xùn sù 。
越美丽的女人变脸越是迅速。
Should he chase her or not? It all came down to understanding a woman's psychology, which couldn't be judged by common sense.
kǒng què xiān zi bèi zì jǐ yī fān qīng bó 。 jiā shàng cǐ qián dào bǎo suǒ jī lěi de hǎo gǎn 。 gù rán yǒu kě néng shào nǚ huái chūn 。 zài xīn dǐ xià yī lǚ duì zì jǐ de qíng sù 。
孔雀仙子被自己一番轻薄。加上此前盗宝所积累的好感。固然有可能少女怀春。在心底下一缕对自己的情愫。
No matter how smart Lin Xuan was, it would be useless.
nà yàng de huà 。 zhuī shàng qù dìng shì méi yǒu shén me wèn tí 。
那样的话。追上去定是没有什么问题。
But if he gave up, the task at hand had to be completed by an Immortal Form cultivator, and no one else seemed capable of solving this problem for him except the Fairy Peacock.
This time, Lin Xuan was cooperating. The process of removing the restrictions went very smoothly as a result. After a moment, the Fairy Peacock withdrew her hand and retracted her head. Her face still retained its beautiful and alluring flush.
"Your restrictions have been lifted. The fairy has fulfilled her promise. We will meet again."
When she spoke these words, even the Fairy Peacock dared not look Lin Xuan in the eye. After finishing, she turned around, and a colorful spiritual light emerged, transforming into a dazzling rainbow that vanished without a trace.

But now that the Fairy Peacock had left, he could clearly see how different his current state was from before. The joy in his heart was beyond measure. As they say, those who survive great calamities are destined for good fortune. The ancients were not lying to me.
Wait a minute, there might be more than just that level up.
Lin Xuan used Inner Vision and saw the changes in his dantian. The originally pale green spiritual energy now had a hint of dark black. But it wasn't discolored; instead, it seemed deep and beautiful.
Lin Xuan felt the nature of this change, his expression turning strange. There was excitement, curiosity, but more than anything, anxiety.
