“ xiǎo mèi nián yòu ， hái wàng xiān shī ráo tā yī mìng ！” sū zhǎng yù fǎn yìng hěn kuài ， lián máng cháo zhe lǐ fán kē tóu rèn cuò 。
“小妹年幼，还望仙师饶他一命！”苏长玉反应很快，连忙朝着李凡磕头认错。
"Little Sister is young, please spare her life!" Su Changyu reacted quickly and hurriedly knelt before Li Fan to apologize.
xiāo héng yě mǎ shàng xǐng wù guò lái ：“ qǐng xiān shī ráo xiǎo mèi yī mìng 。”
萧恒也马上醒悟过来：“请仙师饶小妹一命。”
Xiao Heng also immediately understood: "Please spare Little Sister's life."
lǐ fán yě bù huí dá ， zhǐ shì ráo yǒu xìng qù de kàn zhe bèi fù chóng shén tōng zhuō zhù de sū xiǎo mèi 。
李凡也不回答，只是饶有兴趣的看着被缚虫神通捉住的苏小妹。
Li Fan did not answer but instead watched with interest as Su Xiaomei was caught by the entangling insect technique.
bèi dí rén zhì zhù ， wú fǎ dòng tán 。
被敌人制住，无法动弹。
Bound by the enemy, she could not move.
sū xiǎo mèi yī zhāng xiǎo liǎn ， bèi biē dé tōng hóng 。
苏小妹一张小脸，被憋得通红。
Su Xiaomei's small face turned a deep red from being unable to breathe.
suí hòu ， yī gǔ lì liàng cóng tā tǐ nèi yǒng chū 。 lǐ fán gǎn yìng dào , zhè chà nà jiān ， sū xiǎo mèi de lì liàng biàn fān le yí bèi yǒu yú 。
随后，一股力量从她体内涌出。李凡感应到, 这刹那间，苏小妹的力量便翻了一倍有余。
Then, a surge of power emerged from her body. Li Fan sensed that in this instant, Su Xiaomei's strength had doubled.
“ tiān fù shén tōng me ？” lǐ fán mù guāng yī shǎn ， méi yǒu sōng kāi jìn zhì 。
“天赋神通么？”李凡目光一闪，没有松开禁制。
"Is it ainnate supernatural power (talent technique)?" Li Fan's eyes flashed but he did not release the restraint.
tā yào kàn kàn sū xiǎo mèi de jí xiàn zài nǎ lǐ 。
他要看看苏小妹的极限在哪里。
He wanted to see where Su Xiaomei's limits lay.
gǎn shòu dào duì fāng de shì xiàn zài zì jǐ shēn shàng lái huí yóu zǒu ， zì jǐ què wú fǎ fǎn kàng 。
感受到对方的视线在自己身上来回游走，自己却无法反抗。
Feeling the other person's gaze roaming over her body while she could do nothing about it, Su Xiaomei's anger burned endlessly within her.
cóng xiǎo dào dà hái méi yǒu shòu guò zhè zhǒng qū rǔ de sū xiǎo mèi ， xīn zhōng de nù huǒ wú zhǐ jìng de rán shāo qǐ lái 。
从小到大还没有受过这种屈辱的苏小妹，心中的怒火无止境的燃烧起来。
A streak of crimson appeared in her eyes, like a burning flame, flickering intensely.
yī mǒ chì hóng zì tā de yǎn jīng zhōng chǎn shēng ， fǎng fú rán shāo de liè yàn yì bān ， zhuó zhuó tiào dòng 。
一抹赤红自她的眼睛中产生，仿佛燃烧的烈焰一般，灼灼跳动。
Her body grew hot, and so did the temperature around her.
tā de shēn qū biàn de gǔn tàng ， shùn dài zhe lián zhōu shēn de kōng qì wēn dù dōu suí zhī shàng shēng 。
她的身躯变的滚烫，顺带着连周身的空气温度都随之上升。
Su Xiaomei's strength doubled once more.
sū xiǎo mèi de lì liàng , yòu shì fān le yí bèi 。
苏小妹的力量, 又是翻了一倍。
However, it was useless!
zhǐ bù guò , méi yòng ！
只不过, 没用！
Anger still swirled in her heart.
fèn nù yī rán zài tā de xīn jiān pán rào 。
愤怒依然在她的心间盘绕。
The red in her eyes gradually spread throughout her entire body, dyeing her black hair with a strange crimson hue.
yǎn móu zhōng de chì hóng zhú jiàn kuò sàn dào quán shēn ， jiāng hēi sè de tóu fà rǎn shàng yī mǒ yāo yì de hóng sè 。
眼眸中的赤红逐渐扩散到全身，将黑色的头发染上一抹妖异的红色。
Thin wisps of white smoke began to emerge from various parts of her body.
shēn tǐ gè chù yǐn yǐn mào chū yī sī bái yān 。
身体各处隐隐冒出一丝白烟。
Su Xiaomei's strength doubled again!
sū xiǎo mèi de lì liàng ， yòu fān le yí bèi ！
苏小妹的力量，又翻了一倍！
Seeing this scene, Xiao Heng was so upset that tears welled up. He kept kneeling and bowing repeatedly.
xiāo héng jiàn dào zhè yí mù ， jí de yǎn lèi dōu kuài chū lái le ， bú zhù de kē tóu 。
萧恒见到这一幕，急的眼泪都快出来了，不住的磕头。
Su Changyu remained calm on the surface, but his bloodstains revealed his true feelings.
sū zhǎng yù miàn sè píng jìng ， zhǐ shì tā é tóu de xuè jì fāng xiǎn shì chū tā cǐ kè nèi xīn de zhēn shí gǎn shòu 。
苏长玉面色平静，只是他额头的血迹方显示出他此刻内心的真实感受。
"Has her power increased eightfold? A talent technique, truly unreasonable in its strength," Li Fan nodded inwardly.
“ lì liàng shì yuán xiān de bā bèi me ， tiān fù shén tōng ， guǒ rán qiáng de bù jiǎng dào lǐ 。” lǐ fán àn zì diǎn tóu 。
“力量是原先的八倍么，天赋神通，果然强的不讲道理。”李凡暗自点头。
Although he felt Su Xiaomei's power could still grow, it would likely cause internal damage to her body. He only intended a test and did not need to push it too far.
suī rán jiē xià lái lǐ fán gǎn jué sū xiǎo mèi de lì liàng hái néng jì xù péng zhàng ， bù guò nà huì duì tā shēn tǐ zào chéng àn shāng 。
虽然接下来李凡感觉苏小妹的力量还能继续膨胀，不过那会对她身体造成暗伤。
Thus, the blue flame illusionary spirit appeared in his mind. Li Fan extended his right hand and placed it on Su Xiaomei's head.
lǐ fán zhǐ shì shì tàn xià ér yǐ ， yě bù bì zuò dào rú cǐ dì bù 。
李凡只是试探下而已，也不必做到如此地步。
A wave of icy force flowed into her body.
yú shì ， shí hǎi zhōng lán yán huàn líng xiǎn xiàn , lǐ fán shēn chū yòu shǒu , fǔ àn zài sū xiǎo mèi tóu dǐng 。
于是，识海中蓝炎幻灵显现, 李凡伸出右手, 抚按在苏小妹头顶。
Su Xiaomei's body temperature gradually decreased, and the red in her pupils vanished.
yī gǔ bīng hán zhī lì , guàn shū qí zhōng 。
一股冰寒之力, 灌输其中。
Her fierce expression slowly calmed down.
sū xiǎo mèi shēn tǐ wēn dù zhú jiàn xià jiàng ， tóng kǒng zhōng de chì sè zhú jiàn xiāo shī 。
苏小妹身体温度逐渐下降，瞳孔中的赤色逐渐消失。
The entangling insect technique failed, and Su Xiaomei fell from the sky. In an instant, she regained her balance and rushed towards Li Fan.
zhēng níng de miàn páng yě màn màn biàn dé píng jìng xià lái 。
狰狞的面庞也慢慢变得平静下来。
She clung tightly to his leg, not letting go: "Master! You finally came!"
fù chóng shén tōng shī xiào ， sū xiǎo mèi cóng kōng zhōng là xià 。
缚虫神通失效，苏小妹从空中落下。
Li Fan chuckled lightly. This title was extremely rare in today's world of cultivation; it almost no longer existed.
chà nà jiān , tā chóng xīn wěn zhù shēn xíng , chōng xiàng lǐ fán 。
刹那间, 她重新稳住身形, 冲向李凡。
He did not respond but instead picked Su Xiaomei up from his leg and set her aside, examining her closely.
yī bǎ bào zhù lǐ fán de dà tuǐ , sǐ sǐ zhuā zhù ， bù kěn sōng shǒu ：“ shī fù ！ nǐ zhōng yú lái le ！”
一把抱住李凡的大腿, 死死抓住，不肯松手：“师傅！你终于来了！”
Due to her special constitution, although she should be around ten years old now, her height and build were similar to that of a six or seven-year-old child.
“ shī fù ……” lǐ fán qīng xiào ， zhè ge chēng hū ， zài dāng jīn de xiū xiān jiè ， kě shì fēi cháng fēi cháng shǎo jiàn le 。
“师傅……”李凡轻笑，这个称呼，在当今的修仙界，可是非常非常少见了。
She stared at Li Fan with wide eyes, looking adorable.
jìn hū jué jì 。
近乎绝迹。
Li Fan smiled and then shifted his gaze to Su Changyu and Xiao Heng.
méi yǒu yīng tā ， zhǐ shì yī bǎ jiāng sū xiǎo mèi cóng tuǐ shàng ná xià ， fàng zài yī páng ， xì xì dǎ liàng 。
没有应她，只是一把将苏小妹从腿上拿下，放在一旁，细细打量。
Seeing Su Xiaomei out of danger, they sighed in relief but did not dare to stand. They knelt on the ground.
sì hū shì yóu yú tè shū tǐ zhì de yuán yīn ， suī rán sū xiǎo mèi cǐ shí yīng gāi shí duō suì le ， dàn shēn gāo tǐ xíng què zhǐ shì xún cháng liù qī suì ér tóng yì bān dà xiǎo 。
似乎是由于特殊体质的原因，虽然苏小妹此时应该十多岁了，但身高体型却只是寻常六七岁儿童一般大小。
Ten years ago, when Li Fan left, he had taught Xiao Heng the Xuanhuang Qixin Spell along with its usage method without explicitly warning him not to spread it.
cǐ kè tā dèng dà le yī shuāng yǎn ， zǐ xì dǎ liàng zhe lǐ fán ， shā shì kě ài 。
此刻她瞪大了一双眼，仔细打量着李凡，煞是可爱。
Given that Su Changyu still harbored Immortal-Demon Mist from his body, it was clear that he understood the importance of not spreading forbidden techniques lightly.
lǐ fán xiào le xiào ， yòu jiāng shì xiàn yí dòng dào sū zhǎng yù hé xiāo héng shēn shàng 。
李凡笑了笑，又将视线移动到苏长玉和萧恒身上。
He did not tell anyone about it.
tā men jiàn sū xiǎo mèi yǐ jīng tuō lí le wēi xiǎn ， xuán jí sōng le kǒu qì 。
他们见苏小妹已经脱离了危险，旋即松了口气。
But...
zhǐ bù guò yī rán bù gǎn qǐ shēn ， wān yāo guì fú yú dì 。
只不过依然不敢起身，弯腰跪伏于地。
What's wrong with this kid?
shí nián qián ， lǐ fán lín zǒu zhī jì ， céng chuán xiāo héng 《 xuán huáng qīng xīn zhòu 》 yǐ jí xiāng pèi tào yào wù de shǐ yòng fāng fǎ 。
十年前，李凡临走之际，曾传萧恒《玄黄清心咒》以及相配套药物的使用方法。
Feeling Xiao Heng's condition, Li Fan's expression darkened.
méi yǒu tè yì dīng zhǔ ， bù néng jiāng qí wài zhuàn 。
没有特意叮嘱，不能将其外传。
While there were signs that the Immortal-Demon Mist had been somewhat purged, only a small portion was affected. It was as if nothing had changed.
cóng yī páng de sū zhǎng yù tǐ nèi réng rán chōng mǎn xiān fán zhàng lái kàn ， tā xiǎn rán yě dǒng de fǎ bù kě qīng chuán de dào lǐ 。
从一旁的苏长玉体内仍然充满仙凡瘴来看，他显然也懂得法不可轻传的道理。
Didn't you wash off all your mist in just a month last life?
méi yǒu jiāng qí gào sù páng rén 。
没有将其告诉旁人。
It has almost been ten years now!
zhǐ bù guò ……
只不过……
You are too lax!
zhè xiǎo zi shì shén me qíng kuàng ？
这小子是什么情况？
Li Fan coldly said to Xiao Heng: "Traveling from Great Li to the world of cultivation will take about ten days. If you haven't purged the mist by then, I'll throw you into the sea and feed you to the fish. Do you understand?"
gǎn shòu zhe xiāo héng tǐ nèi de zhuàng kuàng , lǐ fán liǎn yī hēi 。
感受着萧恒体内的状况, 李凡脸一黑。
Xiao Heng's face turned pale, and he trembled all over.
xiān fán zhàng shì yǒu diǎn bèi qū chú de jì xiàng ， dàn shì zhǐ shì yī xiǎo bù fèn ér yǐ 。
仙凡瘴是有点被祛除的迹象，但是只是一小部分而已。
Su Changyu looked at him helplessly and shook his head inwardly.
gēn méi yǒu yī yàng 。
跟没有一样。
Su Xiaomei looked on with glee as she watched Xiao Heng.
nǐ shàng bèi zi kě zhǐ yòng le yí gè yuè jiù xǐ qù yī shēn zhàng qì le ba ？
你上辈子可只用了一个月就洗去一身瘴气了吧？
Originally, they planned to leave quietly with these three people.
rú jīn dōu kuài guò qù shí nián le ！
如今都快过去十年了！
But after thinking about it, given that ten years had passed, the resources collected in Great Li were surely ready by now.
shí zài tài guò xiè dài ！
实在太过懈怠！
With Hao Zhenghao's unexpected death, no one has taken over this smuggling route yet.
dāng xià ， lǐ fán lěng shēng duì xiāo héng shuō dào ：“ cóng dà lí ， qù wǎng xiū xiān jiè ， lù shàng yǒu shí jǐ tiān shí jiān 。 yào shì dào xiū xiān jiè shí ， nǐ hái méi yǒu qū zhàng chéng gōng ， wǒ jiù bǎ nǐ rēng jìn hǎi lǐ qù wèi yú 。 míng bái le ma ？”
当下，李凡冷声对萧恒说道：“从大离，去往修仙界，路上有十几天时间。要是到修仙界时，你还没有祛瘴成功，我就把你扔进海里去喂鱼。明白了嘛？”
Since he was here, he might as well make use of his trip.
xiāo héng wén yán ， dùn shí liǎn sè fā bái ， hún shēn chàn dǒu 。
萧恒闻言，顿时脸色发白，浑身颤抖。
After all, 2000 points of contribution weren't insignificant.
sū zhǎng yù wú nài de kàn le tā yī yǎn ， àn zì yáo tóu 。
苏长玉无奈的看了他一眼，暗自摇头。
Even a mosquito is meat.
sū xiǎo mèi yī fù xìng zāi lè huò de yàng zi ， xiào xī xī de kàn zhe xiāo héng 。
苏小妹一副幸灾乐祸的样子，笑嘻嘻的看着萧恒。
Deciding on a course of action, Li Fan manipulated the surrounding qi and rang the bells at the four lookout towers.
yuán běn dǎ suàn ， jiù zhè yàng dài zhè sān wèi qiāo qiāo lí kāi 。
原本打算，就这样带这三位悄悄离开。
Instantly, the sound of the bells spread throughout Great Li's capital, causing quite a stir.
kě zhuǎn niàn yī xiǎng ， shí nián guò qù ， dà lí yī jiè sōu jí de wù zī kěn dìng yǐ jīng shì yòu zhǔn bèi hǎo le 。
可转念一想，十年过去，大离一界搜集的物资肯定已经是又准备好了。
Li Fan brought Su Xiaomei and the others to the previous square, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Li.
hé zhèng hào yì wài shēn yǔn ， zhè tiáo tōu dù xiàn lù mù qián hái méi rén jiē shǒu 。
何正浩意外身陨，这条偷渡线路目前还没人接手。
After half a day, the emperor and his ministers all came before Li Fan.
zì jǐ jì rán yǐ jīng lái le yī tàng ， yě bù néng bái pǎo 。
自己既然已经来了一趟，也不能白跑。
They looked at Su Xiaomei and her companions with various expressions but did not dare to be careless. They knelt on the ground one after another.
bì jìng ，2000 diǎn gòng xiàn dù yě bù suàn shǎo le 。
毕竟，2000点贡献度也不算少了。
"Welcome the Immortal Master!"
wén zi zài xiǎo yě shì ròu 。
蚊子再小也是肉。
Li Fan said straightforwardly: "This transaction will be personally transported by me. Have you prepared your supplies?"
dāng xià xīn zhōng yǒu le zhǔ yì ， cāo zòng tǐ nèi líng qì ， qiāo xiǎng le sì zuò liào wàng tǎ xià de zhōng 。
当下心中有了主意，操纵体内灵气，敲响了四座瞭望塔下的钟。
Although the emperor had doubts, he confirmed this with a nod as Li Fan's identity was real and undeniable.
shà shí jiān ， zhōng míng zhī shēng chuán biàn le dà lí jīng chéng ， yǐn qǐ yī zhèn bù xiǎo de sāo dòng 。
霎时间，钟鸣之声传遍了大离京城，引起一阵不小的骚动。
He hurriedly instructed his ministers to prepare everything.
lǐ fán dài zhe sū xiǎo mèi sān rén ， lái dào le zhī qián nà ge guǎng chǎng shàng ， děng dài dà lí huáng dì de dào lái 。
李凡带着苏小妹三人，来到了之前那个广场上，等待大离皇帝的到来。
The next morning, many people gathered at the square.
xiǎo bàn tiān zhī hòu ， dà lí jūn chén ， dōu lái dào lǐ fán miàn qián 。
小半天之后，大离君臣，都来到李凡面前。
Most were young faces, some of whom Li Fan recognized from his previous life when he first entered the world of cultivation.
tā men kàn zhe lǐ fán shēn hòu de sū xiǎo mèi sān rén ， miàn sè gè yì 。
他们看着李凡身后的苏小妹三人，面色各异。
Releasing the Taiyin Boat onto the square, Li Fan addressed these people: "The world of cultivation may not be as idyllic as you imagine; it is full of danger."
dàn què dōu bù gǎn dài màn ， fēn fēn guì le yī dì 。
但却都不敢怠慢，纷纷跪了一地。
"You might face death in this journey."
“ gōng yíng xiān shī ！”
“恭迎仙师！”
"I am giving you one last chance. If you do not wish to go, you can choose to give up. I will take care of your elders and ensure no difficulty for you."
lǐ fán zhí jiē liǎo dàng de shuō dào ：“ cǐ cì jiāo yì ， jiāng huì yóu wǒ qīn zì yùn sòng nǐ men tiāo xuǎn zhī rén chū qù 。 nǐ men de wù zī kě zēng bèi hǎo ？”
李凡直接了当的说道：“此次交易，将会由我亲自运送你们挑选之人出去。你们的物资可曾备好？”
After saying this, Li Fan coldly observed their choices.
dà lí huáng dì suī yǒu yóu yí ， dàn miàn qián de xiān shī shēn fèn què shì zhēn shí wú wù 。
大离皇帝虽有犹疑，但面前的仙师身份却是真实无误。
These young people did not expect such a turn of events. They looked at each other, unsure how to proceed.
yú shì máng bù dié diǎn tóu 。
于是忙不迭点头。
Then, a sharp voice rang out in the square: "Please rest assured, Master Immortal. Although the path of immortality is perilous and arduous, my desire for immortality remains unshaken through countless lifetimes!"
lǐ fán zǒu le yī tàng huáng gōng bǎo kù ， jiāng wù zī jiē shōu ， huí tóu fēn fù dào ：“ míng rì yī zǎo ， wǒ hái zài guǎng chǎng děng nǐ men 。 guò shí bù hòu 。”
李凡走了一趟皇宫宝库，将物资接收，回头吩咐道：“明日一早，我还在广场等你们。过时不候。”
Li Fan's expression turned peculiar as he followed the voice with his gaze. He felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
dà lí huáng dì wéi wéi chēng shì ， lián máng xià qù ràng chén mín qù zuò zhǔn bèi 。
大离皇帝唯唯称是，连忙下去让臣民去做准备。
It turned out that the one speaking was the fat man from his previous life who had extorted and threatened him before being casually killed by Li Fan.
dì èr tiān yī zǎo ， guǎng chǎng shàng jù jí le xǔ duō rén 。
第二天一早，广场上聚集了许多人。
Inspired by this, many people hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to venture into the world of cultivation.
dà duō dōu shì xiē nián qīng miàn kǒng ， qí zhōng yī xiē ， lǐ fán hái yǒu diǎn miàn shú 。
大多都是些年轻面孔，其中一些，李凡还有点面熟。
However, some chose to give up.
jiù shì lǐ fán shàng yī shì chū rù xiū xiān jiè yù dào de nà pī rén 。
就是李凡上一世初入修仙界遇到的那批人。
"Difficult words cannot persuade a doomed soul. The choices you make will be your own responsibility; do not blame anyone when you die."
fàng kāi tài yǎn zhōu ， zhì yú guǎng chǎng zhī shàng ， lǐ fán duì zhe zhè xiē rén shuō dào ：“ xiū xiān jiè wèi bì rú nǐ men xiǎng xiàng de nà bān měi hǎo ， ér shì chōng mǎn xiōng xiǎn 。”
放开太衍舟，置于广场之上，李凡对着这些人说道：“修仙界未必如你们想象的那般美好，而是充满凶险。”
Watching these young faces filled with excitement and nervousness board the Taiyin Boat one by one, Li Fan silently thought to himself.
"Little Sister is young, please spare her life!" Su Changyu reacted quickly and hurriedly knelt before Li Fan to apologize.
Xiao Heng also immediately understood: "Please spare Little Sister's life."
Li Fan did not answer but instead watched with interest as Su Xiaomei was caught by the entangling insect technique.
Bound by the enemy, she could not move.
Su Xiaomei's small face turned a deep red from being unable to breathe.
Then, a surge of power emerged from her body. Li Fan sensed that in this instant, Su Xiaomei's strength had doubled.
"Is it ainnate supernatural power (talent technique)?" Li Fan's eyes flashed but he did not release the restraint.
He wanted to see where Su Xiaomei's limits lay.
Feeling the other person's gaze roaming over her body while she could do nothing about it, Su Xiaomei's anger burned endlessly within her.
A streak of crimson appeared in her eyes, like a burning flame, flickering intensely.
Her body grew hot, and so did the temperature around her.
Su Xiaomei's strength doubled once more.
However, it was useless!
Anger still swirled in her heart.
The red in her eyes gradually spread throughout her entire body, dyeing her black hair with a strange crimson hue.
Thin wisps of white smoke began to emerge from various parts of her body.
Su Xiaomei's strength doubled again!
Seeing this scene, Xiao Heng was so upset that tears welled up. He kept kneeling and bowing repeatedly.
