距此以北数万里，范围老大了些，不过没有关系，总好过我们如没头苍螟般的四处乱跑，只要花点时间，总能将那丫头找到二”独角老者不在意的道。
North of here by several ten thousand miles, the area was larger, but that didn't matter. It was better than wandering aimlessly like headless flies. With some time, they would surely find the girl." The one-horned elder casually said.
， zhū xiōng shuō dé yǒu lǐ ， shì bù yí chí ， wǒ men zhè jiù qù ， shěng de yè cháng mèng duō ， bèi bié rén jiāng xiān jī qiǎng zhàn le 。”
，朱兄说得有理，事不宜迟，我们这就去，省的夜长梦多，被别人将先机抢占了。”
"Brother Zhu is right. Time is short; let's go now to avoid sleeping on our swords and having someone else seize the initiative."
lán jiāo diǎn le diǎn tóu ， shēn xíng yī zhuǎn ， kě pà de yāo qì wéi rào yú tā de shēn biān ， huà wèi yī duǒ huī méng méng de yún cǎi sù dù jí kuài ， yī shǎn ， jiù dùn chū le bǎi yú zhàng yuǎn 。
蓝蛟点了点头，身形一转，可怕的妖气围绕于他的身边，化为一朵灰蒙蒙的云彩速度极快，一闪，就遁出了百余丈远。
Blue Serpent Elder nodded and transformed into a terrifying aura that surrounded him, turning into a grayish cloud. He sped away over a hundred feet in an instant.
lǎo zhě yǎn jīn hán máng yī shǎn ， tóng yàng huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
老者眼巾寒芒一闪，同样化为一道惊虹消失不见。
The elder's eyes flashed with cold light as he similarly turned into a streak of lightning and vanished.
huāng yuán dùn shí yòu níng jìng le xià lái ， bái xuě piāo luò ， hǎo xiàng shén me yě bù céng fā shēng guò 。
荒原顿时又宁静了下来，白雪飘落，好像什么也不曾发生过。
The vast wilderness soon fell silent again, snowflakes drifting down as if nothing had happened.
lìng yī biān ， lín xuān yī rì dài zài huǒ yún kū ， pán xī ér zuò ， shuāng shǒu hù wò ， zhǎng xīn zhōng kōng ， yī lì tiān chén dān jiù bèi fàng zài qí zhōng 。
另一边，林轩依日待在火云窟，盘膝而坐，双手互握，掌心中空，一粒天尘丹就被放在其中。
On the other side, Lin Xuan remained seated cross-legged inside the Flame Cloud Cave. His hands were clasped together, his palm empty, holding a Heavenly Dust Pill within it.
tà rù xiān dào zhè me jiǔ ， duì yú lán sè xīng hǎi de yùn yòng ， lín xuān jī hū yǐ dào le chū shén rù huà de dì bù ， dàn ráo shì rú cǐ ， tā yě bù gǎn yǒu sī háo qīng hū ， bì jìng zhè zhǒng dān yào tài guò nán dé ， rú guǒ tí chún shī bài ， zì jǐ kě méi yǒu dì fāng kū 。
踏入仙道这么久，对于蓝色星海的运用，林轩几乎已到了出神入化的地步，但饶是如此，他也不敢有丝毫轻忽，毕竟这种丹药太过难得，如果提纯失败，自己可没有地方哭。
After so many years of cultivation, Lin Xuan's mastery over the Blue Star Sea was nearly at the point where he could enter and exit with ease. However, he still didn't take any chances, for such rare pills were too precious to be taken lightly. If purification failed, there would be no place for him to cry.
hǎo zài bìng méi yǒu chū chí lòu ， sān shí yú kē líng yào ， lín xuān zhǐ tí chún fèi le liǎng lì ， shèng xià de ， yǐ zú yǐ ràng tā jié yīng chéng gōng èr
好在并没有出弛漏，三十余颗灵药，林轩只提纯废了两粒，剩下的，已足以让他结婴成功二
Fortunately, nothing went wrong. Out of thirty or so spirit herbs, Lin Xuan only wasted two in the process, leaving enough to ensure his condensation core formation.
dāng rán ， zhè jǐn jǐn shì tuī cè ， lín xuān yě bù gǎn shuō jiù yí dìng wàn wú yī shī le èr
当然，这仅仅是推测，林轩也不敢说就一定万无一失了二
Of course, this was just speculation; he couldn't say with certainty that it would be completely safe.
， shào yé 。”
，少爷。”
"Master."
tián měi de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cái xuān huí guò tóu ， jiù kàn jiàn le yuè ér jiāo měi de miàn róng ， xiǎo ， yā tou zhōng yú nài bú zhù jì jī ， lái zhè lǐ dǎ tàn xiāo xī ， què qià hǎo pèng jiàn shào yé jiāng zuì hòu yī lì tiān chén dān tí chún wán bì 。
甜美的声音传入耳朵，材轩回过头，就看见了月儿娇美的面容，小，丫头终于耐不住寂箕，来这里打探消息，却恰好碰见少爷将最后一粒天尘丹提纯完毕。
A sweet voice entered his ears as Lin Xuan turned around and saw Mo'er's beautiful face. "Little girl finally couldn’t stand the boredom and came here to gather information. She happened to catch you finishing the purification of the last Heavenly Dust Pill."
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān yě liú lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， mù guāng yī zhuǎn ， què fā xiàn le dūn zài shào yé jiǎo páng de xiǎo hú lí 。
林轩的嘴角边也流露出一丝笑意，目光一转，却发现了蹲在少爷脚旁的小狐狸。
Lin Xuan’s lips curled into a smile, but he noticed a small fox crouching beside him.
dì yī cì jiàn dào lín xuān ， xiǎo jiā huo míng xiǎn yǒu xiē wèi jù ， dà bàn gè shēn zi dōu suō zài shào nǚ hòu miàn ， què yòu rěn bú zhù tàn chū bàn gè nǎo dài ， měi lì de yǎn jīng zhuǎn a zhuǎn ， xiǎn de jí qí kě ài 。
第一次见到林轩，小家伙明显有些畏惧，大半个身子都缩在少女后面，却又忍不住探出半个脑袋，美丽的眼睛转啊转，显得极其可爱。
The little guy seemed visibly frightened when they first met, huddled behind the girl, yet couldn't resist peeking out with half his head. His beautiful eyes constantly shifting made him look incredibly cute.
， yí ， zhè shì ” lín xuān kàn jiàn xiǎo dōng xī ， bù yóu de yǎn jīng yī mī ， liǎn tǔ liú lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì 。
，咦，这是”林轩看见小东西，不由得眼睛一眯，脸土流露出几分诧异。
"Hey, this..." Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he saw the small creature, showing a hint of surprise on his face.
， shào yé ， zhè shì xiāng ér ， wǒ xīn rèn shí de hǎo péng yǒu ， nǐ bié kàn tā zhǐ shì zhǐ gāng gāng chū shēng de xiǎo hú lí ， shí lì què bù ruò ， ér qiě hái huì shuō huà de 。” yuè ér xiàn bǎo shì de kāi kǒu ， tóng shí shēn tǐ yī cè ，ｌ xiǎo jiā huo zhěng gè chū xiàn zài lín xuān de yǎn lián le 。
，少爷，这是香儿，我新认识的好朋友，你别看她只是只刚刚出生的小狐狸，实力却不弱，而且还会说话的。”月儿献宝似的开口，同时身体一侧，ｌ小家伙整个出现在林轩的眼帘了。
"Master, this is Xiang'er. She's my new friend. Don’t be fooled by her tiny size; she has considerable strength and can even speak," Mo'er said proudly, shifting her body to reveal the little fox in full view.
， sān wěi yāo hú ！”
，三尾妖狐！”
"Three-tailed妖狐!"
lín xuān de liǎn tǔ què lù chū le hài rán zhī sè ， tā de jiàn shí zì rán yuǎn fēi tiān zhēn làn màn de yuè ér kě bǐ ， yòu xǐ huān yuè dú tǔ gǔ diǎn jí ， duì yú hú zú de yī xiē chuán shuō ， yě shì yǒu suǒ ěr wén 。
林轩的脸土却露出了骇然之色，他的见识自然远非天真烂漫的月儿可比，又喜欢阅读土古典籍，对于狐族的一些传说，也是有所耳闻。
Lin Xuan’s expression turned astonished. His knowledge far exceeded Moer’s innocence, having read many ancient texts on foxes. Three tails meant a powerful late-stage demon beast, yet this small creature had just been born. Her cultivation potential was beyond imagination—perhaps even surpassing those with the Holy Spirit Root.
sān tiáo wěi ba ， nà dài biǎo huà xíng hòu qī de dà yāo shòu ， kě yǎn qián de xiǎo jiā huo ， míng xiǎn chū shēng wèi jiǔ ， nà tā xiū xiān de zī zhì kě xiǎng ér zhī ， xiàng shì shèng líng gēn de tiān cái yě pà mǎ nán jí 。
三条尾巴，那代表化形后期的大妖兽，可眼前的小家伙，明显出生未久，那她修仙的资质可想而知，像是圣灵根的天才也怕马难及。
With proper effort, she would easily reach the transformation stage and ascend to the spirit realm in no time.
zhè ge xiǎo jiā huo ， zhǐ yào bú shì tài guò tōu lǎn ， huà xíng qī qīng ér yì jǔ ， fēi shēng líng jiè yě shì zhǐ rì kě dài de shì 。
这个小家伙，只要不是太过偷懒，化形期轻而易举，飞升灵界也是指日可待的事。
Lin Xuan’s envy showed on his face after the initial shock. Where did Moer get such a remarkable little妖狐?
lín xuān chī jīng guò hòu ， yǎn zhōng yě bù yóu de liú lù chū xiàn mù lái le ， yuè ér zhè yā tou ， cóng nǎ lǐ guǎi lái le zhè me yī zhī jīng shì hài sú de xiǎo yāo hú ？
林轩吃惊过后，眼中也不由得流露出羡慕来了，月儿这丫头，从哪里拐来了这么一只惊世骇俗的小妖狐？
Thoughts raced through Lin Xuan's mind as he naturally wore a warm smile. Little Princess's fear gradually disappeared, taking steps forward until she stopped a few feet from him and said in a baby voice, "Big guy, I want candy."
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn dòng ， liǎn tǔ yě zì rán ér rán de lù chū le wēn hé de xiào róng ，… xiǎo gōng zhǔ yǎn zhōng de jù yì jiàn jiàn xiāo shī ， yí bù yí bù de wǎng qián nuó ， zhōng yú zài lín xuān shēn qián zhàng yú de dì fāng tíng zhù ， nǎi shēng nǎi qì de kāi kǒu ，“ dà kuài tóu ， wǒ yào chī táng 。”
林轩脑海中念头转动，脸土也自然而然的露出了温和的笑容，…小公主眼中的惧意渐渐消失，一步一步的往前挪，终于在林轩身前丈余的地方停住，奶声奶气的开口，“大块头，我要吃糖。”
This nickname froze Lin Xuan’s expression, while Moer couldn’t help laughing.
zhè ge chēng hū ràng lín xuān de biǎo qíng yī jiāng ， yuè ér yě rěn bú zhù yǐ shǒu yǎn kǒu ， chī chī de xiào qǐ chéng le 。
这个称呼让林轩的表情一僵，月儿也忍不住以手掩口，吃吃的笑起乘了。
Over these days of companionship, Moer and Little Princess had hit it off. However, the little troublemaker was quite greedy, having devoured all sorts of spirit pills from Moer's body.
zhè xiē shí rì xiāng chǔ ， yuè ér yǔ xiǎo gōng zhǔ hěn shì tóu yuán ， bù guò zhè xiǎo huài dàn què pǒ wèi zuǐ chán ， jiāng yuè ér shēn shàng de gè zhǒng líng dān chī le gè dǐ cháo tiān 。
这些时日相处，月儿与小公主很是投缘，不过这小坏蛋却颇为嘴馋，将月儿身上的各种灵丹吃了个底朝天。
But she heard that this big guy still had many more hidden away, so she came to beg for some candy.
bù guò tā tīng yuè ér jiě shuō guò ， zhè ge dà kuài tóu shēn gōng hái yǒu xǔ duō ， yú shì xiǎo jiā huo pì diān pì diān de pǎo lái tǎo táng chī le 。
不过她听月儿姐说过，这个大块头身工还有许多，于是小家伙屁颠屁颠的跑来讨糖吃了。
Lin Xuan understood what happened and couldn’t help but laugh. Using spirit pills as bait, he quickly grew familiar with the little妖狐. Although not as close as Moer, their relationship was good enough.
lín xuān nòng qīng chǔ liǎo shì qíng de shǐ mò ， kū xiào bù dé ， jiāng líng dān dāng táng wán ， zhè xiǎo jiā huo yě zhēn gòu shē chǐ ， bù guò kàn le kàn xiǎo yāo hú pì gǔ hòu miàn de sān tiáo wěi ba ， lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn dòng ， piàn kè jiān yǐ zuò xià jué dìng le 。
林轩弄清楚了事情的始末，哭笑不得，将灵丹当糖丸，这小家伙也真够奢侈，不过看了看小妖狐屁股后面的三条尾巴，林轩眉头一挑，脑海中念头转动，片刻间已做下决定了。
"Master, you treat Xiang'er so well; are you planning to make her your spirit beast?" Moer finally couldn't resist asking after three days of companionship. She knew Master’s character all too well.
lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài chǔ wù dài tǔ yī pāi ， zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng yǐ duō chū le yí gè yù píng lái ， píng sāi dǎ kāi ， dào chū jǐ lì xīng hóng rú xuè de yào wán èr
林轩伸出手来，在储物袋土一拍，掌心之中已多出了一个玉瓶来，瓶塞打开，倒出几粒腥红如血的药丸二
"I do want to, but it can’t happen." Lin Xuan sighed with regret on his face.
xuè yán dān ！
血延丹！
"Why not?" Moer looked puzzled.
yuè ér liǎn tǔ lù chū chī jīng zhī sè ， zhè kě shì níng dān qī xiū shì yòng lái tū pò píng jǐng yòng de ， bǐ zēng jìn xiū wèi de dān yào hái yào zhēn guì dé duō ， shào yé shén me shí hòu zhè me dà fāng le ？
月儿脸土露出吃惊之色，这可是凝丹期修士用来突破瓶颈用的，比增进修为的丹药还要珍贵得多，少爷什么时候这么大方了？
"Stupid girl; you should read more books. The abilities of the fox clan are distinguished by their tail count. Three-tailed妖狐, six-tailed灵狐, nine-tailed天狐—look at this little guy. He’s barely born and already has three tails. In legends, even spirit realm fox kings wouldn’t surpass him in talent. With such a rare birth, he can never sign a contract with humans."
xiǎo ， gōng zhǔ què méi tāo guǎn nà me duō ， wén zhe cǐ dān suǒ sàn fà chū lái de xiāng qì ， xiù le xiù bí zi ， rán hòu yī kǒu tūn le jìn qù ， liǎn shàng lù chū pǒ wèi mǎn yì de yàng zi 。
小，公主却没涛管那么多，闻着此丹所散发出来的香气，嗅了嗅鼻子，然后一口吞了进去，脸上露出颇为满意的样子。
"Oh?" Moer felt disappointed. She wanted to stay with the little fox, but now it seemed unlikely.
jiù zhè yàng ， yǐ líng dān zuò wèi yòu jiē ， lín xuān hěn kuài yě yǔ xiǎo yāo hú shú xī le qǐ lái ， suī rán bù xiàng yuè ér nà me tóu yuán ， dàn bǐ cǐ jiān de guān xì yě hěn bù lài 。
就这样，以灵丹做为诱接，林轩很快也与小妖狐熟悉了起来，虽然不像月儿那么投缘，但彼此间的关系也很不赖。
"But why are you still treating Xiang'er so well? Giving her all those precious spirit pills as candy?"
， shào yé ， nǐ duì xiāng ér nà me hǎo ， shì xiǎng yào shōu tā zuò nǐ de líng shòu ma ？” sān tiān yǐ hòu ， yuè ér zhōng yú rěn bú zhù hào qí de kāi kǒu ， yǔ lín xuān zài yì qǐ nà me jiǔ ， tā dāng rán míng bái shào yé wú lì bù qǐ zǎo de xìng gé 。
，少爷，你对香儿那么好，是想要收她做你的灵兽吗？”三天以后，月儿终于忍不住好奇的开口，与林轩在一起那么久，她当然明白少爷无利不起早的性格。
Lin Xuan didn’t answer immediately. He had his reasons for doing this.
， wǒ dǎo shì xiǎng ， dàn bù xíng de èr ” lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， liǎn tǔ mǎn shì wǎn xī 。
，我倒是想，但不行的二”林轩叹了口气，脸土满是惋惜。
Though he couldn't make the little fox his spirit beast, befriending her was definitely a win-win situation. With the Heavenly Dust Pill successfully refined and condensation core formation assured, there were no doubts about it. Although the path to immortality remained long, Lin Xuan believed he would eventually enter the Separation Stage and ascend to the spirit realm.
， wèi shén me ？” yuè ér de liǎn shàng lù chū bù jiě zhī sè 。
，为什么？”月儿的脸上露出不解之色。
This little妖狐’s potential was extraordinary; in a few hundred years, she would surely ascend to the spirit realm. Even there, with time, she could become a powerful demon king with six tails.
， shǎ yā tou ， píng shí yě bù duō kàn kàn shū ， yāo hú yī zú de běn lǐng shì yòng wěi ba de shù liàng lái qū fēn de ， suǒ wèi sān wěi yāo hú ， liù wěi líng hú ， jiǔ wěi tiān hú ， nǐ kàn kàn zhè xiǎo jiā huo ， chū shēng wèi jiǔ ， jiù yōng yǒu sān tiáo wěi ba ， chuán shuō zhōng líng jiè de hú yāo wáng yě bù guò rú cǐ ， tā zhè yàng de tiān zī ， shēn gōng kěn dìng yǒu tiān hú de xuè tǒng ， jiù suàn hěn xī ǎi ， yě méi kě néng yǔ rén lèi qiān dìng qì yuē de 。”
，傻丫头，平时也不多看看书，妖狐一族的本领是用尾巴的数量来区分的，所谓三尾妖狐，六尾灵狐，九尾天狐，你看看这小家伙，出生未久，就拥有三条尾巴，传说中灵界的狐妖王也不过如此，她这样的天资，身工肯定有天狐的血统，就算很稀蔼，也没可能与人类签订契约的。”
Lin Xuan wouldn’t befriend such promising creatures. A few spirit pills were nothing compared to gaining her trust and friendship, which would bring untold benefits once he ascended to the spirit realm.
， ó ？” yuè ér pǒ wèi wǎn xī ， tā hái xiǎng yǔ xiǎo hú lí zài yì qǐ ， dàn xiàn zài kàn lái ， què xiǎn rán shì bù tài kě néng dì “ nà nǐ wèi hé hái duì xiāng ér nà me hǎo ne ， bǎ gè zhǒng zhēn guì de de líng dān gěi tā dāng táng wán chī ？”
，哦？”月儿颇为惋惜，她还想与小狐狸在一起，但现在看来，却显然是不太可能地“那你为何还对香儿那么好呢，把各种珍贵的的灵丹给她当糖丸吃？”
Though considering spirit realm matters was too far off now, Lin Xuan’s cunning mind already began laying groundwork...
lín xuān méi yǒu huí dá yuè ér de wèn tí ， tā zhè me zuò ， dāng rán shì yǒu zì jǐ dǎ suàn dì 。
林轩没有回答月儿的问题，他这么做，当然是有自己打算地。
整理思绪后，林轩向莫儿解释了自己的打算。
suī rán bù néng jiāng xiǎo hú lí shōu zuò líng shòu ， dàn yǔ qí jiāo hǎo yě jué duì shì wěn zhuàn bù péi de ， tiān chén dān yǐ liàn zhì chéng gōng ， jié yīng shì méi yǒu shén me xuán niàn le ， suī shuō xiān tú yī jiù màn màn ， dàn lín xuān xiāng xìn ， zì jǐ kěn dìng huì yǒu tà rù lí hé qī ， bìng chéng gōng fēi shēng líng jiè de yī tiān ，
虽然不能将小狐狸收做灵兽，但与其交好也绝对是稳赚不赔的，天尘丹已炼制成功，结婴是没有什么悬念了，虽说仙途依旧漫漫，但林轩相信，自己肯定会有踏入离合期，并成功飞升灵界的一天，
“真的吗，少爷，香儿居然这么厉害？”灵界也能成为一方霸主，莫儿实在无法将贪吃的狐狸和这个联系起来。
North of here by several ten thousand miles, the area was larger, but that didn't matter. It was better than wandering aimlessly like headless flies. With some time, they would surely find the girl." The one-horned elder casually said.
