bàn suí zhe yī shēng liáo liàng de hǒu jiào , xiāo héng miàn qián de zhè tóu páng rán jù wù , shēn xíng huǎn huǎn suō xiǎo , zuì zhōng biàn huí le yè fēi péng yuán běn mú yàng .
伴随着一声嘹亮的吼叫,萧恒面前的这头庞然巨物,身形缓缓缩小,最终变回了叶飞鹏原本模样.
With a loud roar, the massive creature in front of Xiao Heng slowly shrunk until it reverted to Ye Feipeng's original form.
xiǎo pàng zi niǔ le niǔ bó zi , quán shēn shàng xià gǔ gé fā chū yī zhèn pī lǐ pā lā de bào xiǎng ." xiǎo xiāo zi , nǐ kàn wǒ zhè shǒu duàn rú hé ?" yè fēi péng dé yì yáng yáng de wèn dào .
小胖子扭了扭脖子,全身上下骨骼发出一阵噼里啪啦的暴响."小萧子,你看我这手段如何?"叶飞鹏得意洋洋的问道.
The plump boy stretched his neck, causing a series of cracking sounds from his bones. "Little Xiao, how do you find my skills?" Ye Feipeng asked with pride.
xiāo héng duì zì jǐ zhàn bài yě bù gǎn dào jǔ sàng , ér shì hào qí de kàn zhe yè fēi péng , suí hòu fēi shēn shàng lái zài tā shēn shàng hú luàn dì yòu mō yòu niē :" pàng zi , nǐ shì yǐ shén mó fǎ jié chéng de jīn dān ? shēn wéi rén lèi , jìng rán néng biàn dé hé zhēn zhèng de yì shòu yī yàng ? yuán běn wǒ yǐ wéi zhī qián de bèi shēng shuāng chì yǐ jīng shì jí xiàn le , méi xiǎng dào jū rán hái néng zài jìn yí bù !"
萧恒对自己战败也不感到沮丧,而是好奇的看着叶飞鹏,随后飞身上来在他身上胡乱地又摸又捏:"胖子,你是以什麽法结成的金丹?身为人类,竟然能变得和真正的异兽一样?原本我以为之前的背生双翅已经是极限了,没想到居然还能再进一步!"
Xiao Heng wasn't discouraged by his defeat but instead curiously observed Ye Feipeng as he climbed up and started feeling him all over. "Fat boy, what mystical technique did you use to form your Golden Core? As a human, how can you transform into an actual beast like the true monsters?"
yè fēi péng yě bù zhì zhǐ xiāo héng luàn mō de shǒu , áng zhe tóu , shén qíng pì nì .
叶飞鹏也不至止萧恒乱摸的手,昂着头,神情睥睨.
Ye Feipeng didn’t stop Xiao Heng’s hands from roaming his body but instead raised his head with a haughty expression.
méi yǒu zhí jiē huí dá xiāo héng de wèn tí , ér shì wāi zhe nǎo dài shuō dào :" shèng shòu kūn péng zhī lì , zì rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě . zěn me yàng ? xiàn mù bù ?"
没有直接回答萧恒的问题,而是歪着脑袋说道:"圣兽鲲鹏之力,自然非同小可.怎么样?羡慕不?"
Without directly answering, he tilted his head and said, "The power of the Sacred Beast Kunpeng is naturally formidable. How do you feel? Envious?"
" zhè cì wǒ zài dù jué xǐng yī bù fèn xuè mài lì liàng , zì yuǎn gǔ jì yì zhōng , yòu lǐng wù le yī mén shén tōng ."
"这次我再度觉醒一部分血脉力量,自远古记忆中,又领悟了一门神通."
"During this awakening, I regained some of my bloodline strength and gained another divine technique from ancient memories."
"[ dù xuè yuán ], kě yǐ jiāng wǒ tǐ nèi péng bó zhuàng dà de kūn péng jīng xuè fēn huà chū yī bù fèn , dù huà sòng gěi bié rén . shǐ de duì fāng zài xī shōu zhī hòu , yě néng jì chéng bù fèn kūn péng de shén tōng . ér wǒ běn shēn de shí lì què bú huì shòu dào yǐng xiǎng ."
"[渡血缘],可以将我体内蓬勃壮大的鲲鹏精血分化出一部分,渡化送给别人.使得对方在吸收之后,也能继承部分鲲鹏的神通.而我本身的实力却不会受到影响."
"[Pierce Bloodline], can split a portion of my robust Kunpeng essence blood and pass it on to others. After they absorb it, they will inherit part of the Kunpeng’s divine techniques. My own power remains unaffected," he explained.
" jiù xiàng dāng chū de nà wèi kūn péng , duì wǒ yè jiā xiān zǔ suǒ zuò de nà bān ."" nǐ yào bù yào shì yī shì ?"
"就像当初的那位鲲鹏,对我叶家先祖所做的那般.""你要不要试一试?"
"Like how that Kunpeng did for my ancestor Ye family." "Do you want to try?"
yè fēi péng chōng mǎn yòu huò dì shuō dào :" yǐ nǐ rú jīn sì fǎ jīn dān de jìng jiè , rú guǒ zài huò dé kūn péng jīng xuè , kǒng pà dàn xī zhī jiān , shí lì jiù yào yuǎn chāo guò wǒ . zhēn de bù kǎo lǜ xià me ?"
叶飞鹏充满诱惑地说道:"以你如今四法金丹的境界,如果再获得鲲鹏精血,恐怕旦夕之间,实力就要远超过我.真的不考虑下么?"
Ye Feipeng诱惑地说：“With your current Fourth Technique Golden Core realm, if you gain more Kunpeng essence blood, your strength will surpass mine in a moment. Do you not consider it?”
" shèng shòu kūn péng ?" xiāo héng de yǎn shén shǎn guò yī sī yóu yí , zhī qián yè fēi péng dōu shì kǒu kǒu shēng shēng " yāo shòu \ yì shòu " de , zěn me yī duàn shí jiān bú jiàn , jiù gǎi kǒu shèng shòu le ?
"圣兽鲲鹏?"萧恒的眼神闪过一丝犹疑,之前叶飞鹏都是口口声声"妖兽\异兽"的,怎么一段时间不见,就改口圣兽了?
"Sacred Beast Kunpeng?" Xiao Heng’s eyes flickered with doubt. Before, Ye Feipeng always referred to the beasts as "monster" or "beast," but now he called them "sacred beasts." Why did this change?
wēi wēi dǎ liàng le yǎn yè fēi péng , xiāo héng bù dòng shēng sè de jù jué dào :" hā hā , miǎn le miǎn le . nǐ nà zhǒng zhàn dòu fāng shì tài guò biāo hàn , hái shì wǒ de kōng zhī fǎ lái de shuài qì , bǐ jiào shì hé wǒ ."
微微打量了眼叶飞鹏,萧恒不动声色的拒绝道:"哈哈,免了免了.你那种战斗方式太过彪悍,还是我的空之法来的帅气,比较适合我."
After a brief observation of Ye Feipeng, Xiao Heng replied nonchalantly, "Haha, no thanks. Your fighting style is too brutal. My Void Technique is more handsome and suits me better."
yè fēi péng jiàn zhuàng , dīng zhe xiāo héng xǔ jiǔ , zuì zhōng yě méi yǒu qiǎng qiú .
叶飞鹏见状,盯着萧恒许久,最终也没有强求.
Seeing Xiao Heng’s response, Ye Feipeng stared at him for a long time but eventually gave up.
" duì le , tóu gǔ qián bèi de yù jǐng nǐ zěn me kàn ?" chén mò piàn kè , xiāo héng tū rán wèn dào .
"对了,头骨前辈的预警你怎么看?"沉默片刻,萧恒突然问道.
"By the way, what do you think of Head Bone Senior’s warning?" Xiao Heng suddenly asked after a moment of silence.
jiù zài bù jiǔ qián , chén shuì xǔ jiǔ de tóu gǔ qián bèi tū rán xǐng le guò lái . zhǐ shì zài liú xià yī tiáo " táo , lí kāi cóng yún hǎi !" de shì jǐng xìn xī hòu , jiù zài dù jìn rù chén mián .
就在不久前,沉睡许久的头骨前辈突然醒了过来.只是在留下一条"逃,离开丛云海!"的示警信息后,就再度进入沉眠.
Not long ago, the long-sleeping Head Bone Senior woke up and left a warning message: "Flee! Leave Cunyun Sea!" before falling back into slumber. This left Xiao Heng puzzled.
zhè ràng xiāo héng yǒu xiē bù míng suǒ yǐ .
这让萧恒有些不明所以.
Although he didn’t know what Head Bone Senior had predicted, out of trust, Xiao Heng decided to lead everyone away from Cunyun Sea to the nearby Stone Lin State for refuge.
suī rán bù zhī dào tóu gǔ qián bèi yù cè dào le shén mó , bù guò chū yú duì tā de xìn rèn , xiāo héng hái shì dǎ suàn , jiē xià lái jiù dài lǐng zhòng rén yuǎn dùn cóng yún hǎi , qián wǎng zuì jìn de shí lín zhōu bì nàn .
虽然不知道头骨前辈预测到了什麽,不过出于对它的信任,萧恒还是打算,接下来就带领众人远遁丛云海,前往最近的石临州避难.
Ye Feipeng’s eyes flickered as he thought, "This old thing really has some tricks. It can sense the impending Red Flame Devastation. But..."
yè fēi péng mù guāng shǎn shuò , xīn lǐ àn dào :" kàn lái zhè lǎo dōng xī hái zhēn yǒu diǎn mén dào , jū rán néng duì bù jiǔ hòu de chì yán fén hǎi yǒu suǒ gǎn zhī . bù guò ……"
叶飞鹏目光闪烁,心里暗道:"看来这老东西还真有点门道,居然能对不久后的赤炎焚海有所感知.不过……"
Just a moment later, Ye Feipeng's gaze became resolute once more.
jǐn jǐn shì yóu yù le piàn kè , pàng zi de mù guāng jiù chóng xīn biàn dé wú bǐ jiān dìng .
仅仅是犹豫了片刻,胖子的目光就重新变得无比坚定.
"Red Flame Descends, a disaster to others; but for me, it’s a stroke of fortune."
" chì yán jiàng shì , duì yì bān rén lái shuō , shì miè dǐng dà huò ; duì wǒ ér yán , què shì pō tiān de fù guì ."
"赤炎降世,对一般人来说,是灭顶大祸;对我而言,却是泼天的富贵."
"I waited so long for this moment. How could I give up easily?"
" wǒ kǔ kǔ děng le zhè me duō nián , jiù shì wèi le zhè yī kè de lái lín . yòu zěn me kě néng qīng yì fàng qì ."
"我苦苦等了这么多年,就是为了这一刻的来临.又怎么可能轻易放弃."
He said calmly, "Head Bone Senior has mysterious powers, but he is severely injured and his strength is diminished. His words shouldn’t be taken entirely at face value. I think this is just him being overly paranoid."
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ , tā dàn dìng de shuō dào :" tóu gǔ qián bèi suī rán shén tōng mò cè , dàn tā bì jìng shòu shāng pǒ zhòng , shí lì dà dǎ zhé kòu . suǒ shuō huà yě wú xū jǐn xìn . wǒ jué de zhè yīng gāi zhǐ shì tā yí shén yí guǐ bà le ."
想到这里,他淡定的说道:"头骨前辈虽然神通莫测,但他毕竟受伤颇重,实力大打折扣.所说话也无需尽信.我觉得这应该只是他疑神疑鬼罢了."
"We’ve been in Cunyun Sea for so long; nothing bad can happen!" Xiao Heng’s unease grew as he saw Ye Feipeng’s carefree attitude.
" wǒ men dài zài cóng yún hǎi zhè me duō nián , dōu yì zhí hǎo hǎo de . néng chū shén mó dà shì !" xiāo héng kàn zhe yè fēi péng nà yī fù mǎn bù zài hū de yàng zi , xīn zhōng gèng shì yí dòu cóng shēng .
"我们待在丛云海这么多年,都一直好好的.能出什麽大事!"萧恒看着叶飞鹏那一副满不在乎的样子,心中更是疑窦丛生.
Based on his understanding of the plump boy, if there was any uncertain danger before, he would have fled first. He wouldn’t be so casual now, ignoring potential threats.
àn zhào xiāo héng duì xiǎo pàng zi de liǎo jiě , ruò shì yǐ qián , rú guǒ yǒu shén mó bù què dìng de wēi xiǎn de huà , tā dìng rán shì nìng kě xìn qí yǒu bù kě xìn qí wú \ dì yī fǎn yìng xuǎn zé táo pǎo .
按照萧恒对小胖子的了解,若是以前,如果有什麽不确定的危险的话,他定然是宁可信其有不可信其无\第一反应选择逃跑.
Was it because of increased strength and a swollen ego? Or perhaps due to the effects of Kunpeng essence blood?
jué bú huì xiàng xiàn zài zhè yàng , dà dà liē liē \ wú shì kě néng dào lái de wēi jī .
绝不会像现在这样,大大咧咧\无视可能到来的危机.
Feeling something wasn’t right, Xiao Heng didn’t directly argue or advise but instead adopted an expression that said, "You make a valid point. I’ll think about it."
shì yīn wèi shí lì biàn qiáng , xīn tài péng zhàng le ? hái shì yīn wèi , zhè kūn péng jīng xuè de yǐng xiǎng ?
是因为实力变强,心态膨胀了?还是因为,这鲲鹏精血的影响?
They chatted for a while before Xiao Heng hurriedly bid farewell. Ye Feipeng watched Xiao Heng’s retreating figure with a grim look.
yǐn yǐn jué de yǒu xiē bú duì de xiāo héng , méi yǒu zhí jiē chū yán fǎn bó quàn jiè , ér shì lù chū yī fù " nǐ shuō de hěn yǒu dào lǐ , wǒ zài zǐ xì xiǎng xiǎng " shén qíng .
隐隐觉得有些不对的萧恒,没有直接出言反驳劝诫,而是露出一副"你说的很有道理,我再仔细想想"神情.
"Enough. It’s just some trivial human connections. Better to cut ties now and avoid being accused of lacking sentiment after my ascension."
liǎng rén yòu xián liáo le jǐ jù , zuì hòu xiāo héng cōng cōng cí bié . yè fēi péng kàn zhe xiāo héng yuǎn qù de bèi yǐng , mù guāng yīn chén .
两人又闲聊了几句,最后萧恒匆匆辞别.叶飞鹏看着萧恒远去的背影,目光阴沉.
The plump boy snorted, raised his head, and his eyes flashed with blood-red light. "My destiny is in my hands; I will surely succeed!"
" bà le , bù guò xiē xǔ fán sú zhī yuán . tí qián zhǎn duàn yě hǎo , shěng de wǒ hé dào zhī hòu , bèi rén shuō bù niàn jiù qíng ."
"罢了,不过些许凡俗之缘.提前斩断也好,省的我合道之后,被人说不念旧情."
Black wings unfolded from behind him, and he vanished in an instant.
xiǎo pàng zi lěng hēng yī shēng , jǔ tóu wàng tiān , yǎn móu shǎn guò yī mǒ xuè sè ." tiān mìng zài wǒ , wǒ hé dào bì gōng chéng !"
小胖子冷哼一声,举头望天,眼眸闪过一抹血色."天命在我,我合道必功成!"
On the deserted island, Xiao Heng was talking to Su Changyu when he felt Ye Feipeng’s departure. He glanced at him with a strange expression.
qī hēi yǔ yì zì bèi hòu zhǎn kāi , wēi wēi yī shàn , yè fēi péng de shēn yǐng shà shí xiāo shī zài yuán dì .
漆黑羽翼自背后展开,微微一扇,叶飞鹏的身影霎时消失在原地.
"Since Head Bone Senior has given us instructions, it’s not baseless speculation. For safety, we should evacuate Cunyun Sea," Su Changyu nodded in agreement with Xiao Heng's decision.
huāng dǎo shàng , zhèng zài hé sū zhǎng yù shuō huà de xiāo héng , gǎn jué dào yè fēi péng de lí kāi , yuǎn yuǎn kàn le yī yǎn , shén sè mò míng .
荒岛上,正在和苏长玉说话的萧恒,感觉到叶飞鹏的离开,远远看了一眼,神色莫名.
Eighteen years ago, eight people had come from the Otherworld to this world of cultivators, including Li Fan for show. Only one male and one female remained, barely entering the Qi Condensation Stage after years of companionship. They eventually married and recently gave birth to a son named Han Wuxiu. With the sisters, they were the only inhabitants on the island.
" jì rán tóu gǔ qián bèi yǐ jīng yǒu le jiāo dài , xiǎng bì bú shì kōng xué lái fēng . jǐn shèn qǐ jiàn , wǒ men hái shì chè lí cóng yún hǎi ba ." sū zhǎng yù diǎn diǎn tóu , rèn tóng le xiāo héng de jué dìng .
"既然头骨前辈已经有了交代,想必不是空穴来风.谨慎起见,我们还是撤离丛云海吧."苏长玉点点头,认同了萧恒的决定.
The makeshift flying boat could still be used for migration, but Xiao Heng frowned.
dāng chū hé xiāo héng tā men yī tóng cóng lí jiè lái dào zhè xiū xiān jiè de , hái yǒu lìng wài qī rén . bù guò shì lǐ fán wèi le zuò zuò yàng zi , suí yì tiāo xuǎn de . shí bā nián guò qù le , tā men yǒu de rǎn bìng bù xìng shēn gù .
当初和萧恒他们一同从离界来到这修仙界的,还有另外七人.不过是李凡为了做做样子,随意挑选的.十八年过去了,他们有的染病不幸身故.
"Yue Ting and Yuzhen these two girls have been acting mysterious lately, replying to my messages in a perfunctory manner."
yǒu de chí chí wú fǎ qū chú tǐ nèi zhàng qì , suǒ xìng fàng qì le xiū xíng de niàn tou ; yòu rěn shòu bù liǎo zài huāng dǎo de jiān kǔ , bǎi bān qiú qíng zhī xià , ràng xiāo héng bǎ tā men sòng dào le zhōu biān de fán rén dǎo yǔ , dù guò yú shēng .
有的迟迟无法祛除体内瘴气,索性放弃了修行的念头;又忍受不了在荒岛的艰苦,百般求情之下,让萧恒把他们送到了周边的凡人岛屿,渡过余生.
"I’ll go see them and bring them over."
qī rén zhī zhōng zhǐ yǒu yī nán yī nǚ zuì zhōng liú le xià lái , miǎn qiǎng tà rù liàn qì qī . zhè èr rén cháng nián zhāo xī xiāng chǔ , àn shēng qíng sù , jié wèi fū qī .
七人之中只有一男一女最终留了下来,勉强踏入炼气期.这二人常年朝夕相处,暗生情愫,结为夫妻.
Fortunately, the sisters knew better and gave him their location. It wasn’t far from the island. Seven days later, Xiao Heng arrived at their presence.
zuì jìn dàn xià yī zi , qǔ míng hán wú yōu . zài jiā shàng yīn shì jiě mèi , jiù shì huāng dǎo mù qián quán bù rén yuán le .
最近诞下一子,取名韩无忧.再加上殷氏姐妹,就是荒岛目前全部人员了.
To his surprise, they were accompanied by an early-stage cultivator named Zhao Erbao, who was bowing and acting suspiciously.
dǎo shàng nà zhǐ fēi zhōu miǎn qiǎng hái néng yòng , qiān xǐ qǐ lái dào yě fāng biàn . zhǐ shì …… xiāo héng zhòu le zhòu méi tou .
岛上那只飞舟勉强还能用,迁徙起来倒也方便.只是……萧恒皱了皱眉头.
Yun Ting’s frown deepened as she said unhappily, "Zhao Erbao, how much more do you need to gather before you can restore the Dao Rhythm?"
" yuè tíng \ yǔ zhēn zhè liǎng gè xiǎo yā tou zuì jìn bù zhī dào zài máng xiē shén mó , shén shén mì mì de , fā xiāo xī yě huí fù de hěn fū yǎn ."
"玥婷\雨珍这两个小丫头最近不知道在忙些什麽,神神秘秘的,发消息也回复的很敷衍."
"We went through so much trouble to find a bunch of antiques. You picked out only a few useful ones? Are you playing me for a fool?"
" wǒ xiān qù kàn kàn , bǎ tā men jiē guò lái ba ."
"我先去看看,把她们接过来吧."
Zhao Erbao quickly smiled and said, "Young Miss, I couldn’t possibly. These ancient Dao Rhythms are hard to come by. In such a short time, the two of you found so many—what divine powers!"
hǎo zài jiě mèi liǎng yě zhī dào qīng zhòng , tí qián gěi le tā men suǒ zài wèi zhì , dào yě bù nán zhǎo . jù lí huāng dǎo yě bù suàn tài yuǎn , qī tiān zhī hòu , xiāo héng lái dào jiě mèi liǎng miàn qián .
好在姐妹两也知道轻重,提前给了她们所在位置,倒也不难找.距离荒岛也不算太远,七天之后,萧恒来到姐妹两面前.
"With ten heads, I wouldn’t dare deceive you!"
ràng xiāo héng yǒu xiē yì wài de shì , gēn jiě mèi liǎng yì qǐ de , hái yǒu yī wèi zhù jī xiū shì . dī tóu hā yāo , yī shuāng yǎn jīng guǐ guǐ suì suì , kàn shàng qù jiù bù xiàng hǎo rén .
让萧恒有些意外的是,跟姐妹两一起的,还有一位筑基修士.低头哈腰,一双眼睛鬼鬼祟祟,看上去就不像好人.
"Dao Rhythm antiques?" Xiao Heng’s eyes narrowed as he listened to their conversation.
yīn yuè tíng cǐ kè cù zhe méi tóu , shén sè bú yuè :" zhào èr bǎo , hái yào sōu jí duō shǎo , cái néng fù xiàn nǐ shuō de nà shén mó dào yùn a ?"
殷玥婷此刻蹙着眉头,神色不悦:"赵二宝,还要搜集多少,才能复现你说的那什麽道韵啊?"
It was Sister Yuzhen who transmitted the explanation: "We were searching for ancient Dao Rhythms. They are rare and precious, and we found a few that could be useful."
With a loud roar, the massive creature in front of Xiao Heng slowly shrunk until it reverted to Ye Feipeng's original form.
The plump boy stretched his neck, causing a series of cracking sounds from his bones. "Little Xiao, how do you find my skills?" Ye Feipeng asked with pride.
Xiao Heng wasn't discouraged by his defeat but instead curiously observed Ye Feipeng as he climbed up and started feeling him all over. "Fat boy, what mystical technique did you use to form your Golden Core? As a human, how can you transform into an actual beast like the true monsters?"
