Chapter 1177: with translation of chapter title

Hmph, these guys actually dare to sneak attack this young lady, without even checking how much you weigh.

Translation: "Hmph, these guys actually dare to sneak attack this young lady, without even checking your own weight."

Hmph, these guys actually dare to sneak attack this young lady, without even checking how much you weigh.

Seeing Lin Feng settle the Stone Clan's great elder, Zi Yan came to the pit, kicked the corpse at the bottom with disdain, and her delicate nose let out an involuntary light hum.

Translation: "Seeing Lin Feng settle the Stone Clan Great Elder, Zi Yan then came to the pit, somewhat disdainfully kicking the corpse at the bottom, her delicate nose involuntarily letting out a light hum."

Need to keep "As soon as her words fell" => "As soon as her words fell". Good.

As soon as her words fell, she pointed to a little girl about eleven or twelve years old in the distance and said, "Lin Feng, could this little girl be the strange fire within your body?"

Translation: "As soon as her words fell, she pointed to a little girl about eleven or twelve years old in the distance and said, 'Lin Feng, could this little girl possibly be the strange fire within your body?'"

same.

As they talked, Zi Yan's jewel-like beautiful eyes kept scanning Xiao Ling, filled with amazement.

Translation: "While speaking, Zi Yan's gem-like beautiful eyes continuously sized up Xiao Ling, her gaze full of astonishment."

Although she knew Lin Feng could merge various strange fires, who would have thought it could produce something like this?

Translation: "Although she had long known that Lin Feng could fuse multiple strange fires, who could have expected that this could also fuse into such a thing."

Exactly, I am the master's best battle partner, and Xiao Ling is too!

Translation: "That's right, I am the master's best partner in battle, Xiao Ling is too!"

Exactly, I am the master's best partner in battle, Xiao Ling is too!

Hearing that, Xiao Ling from afar quickly flew over, head held high and chest out, saying.

Translation: "Hearing that, Xiao Ling from afar immediately flew over swiftly, head held high and chest out, saying."

Hearing that, Xiao Ling from afar immediately flew over swiftly, said with head held high and chest out.

Furthermore, as they spoke, the girl's delicate, porcelain-doll-like face was full of pride.

Translation: "And while speaking, this girl's delicate face, as fine as a porcelain doll, was also full of a proud expression."

This guy, how is he looking so displeasing?

Translation: "This guy, how is he looking so annoying?"

The Chinese phrase means "This guy, how is he looking so displeasing?"

Seeing Xiao Ling's clear but foolish gaze, Zi Yan immediately felt terrible.

Translation: "Seeing Xiao Ling's clear yet foolish gaze, Zi Yan instantly felt that something was terribly wrong."

Because she saw her former self in them.

Translation: "Because in the other person she saw her former self, just the same."

Better: "Because in that person she saw her former self, exactly the same."

Although she had Lin Feng, Cai Lin sister, and others with her during that time, giving her a happy childhood.

Translation: "And during that time, although Lin Feng, Sister Cai Ling, and others accompanied her, giving her a pleasant 'childhood'."

But during that time, I certainly didn't lose face much, and was often laid across Lin Feng's thigh for a spanking.

Translation: "But during that time, I certainly didn't lose face little, and was often placed on Lin Feng's thigh to be spanked."

line: Need to keep nuance: "I certainly didn't lose face much" => "I certainly didn't lose face much", and we say: "I certainly didn't lose face much, and was often placed on Lin Feng's thigh to be spanked." Contains quotes with English, fine.

Now thinking about it, Zi Yan feels extremely ashamed.

Translation: "Now thinking about it, Zi Yan feels extremely ashamed."

line: Note: there is a period after the word "shame". Good.

Haha, you little girl, your level suddenly jumped up like that—must be from gaining lots of benefits by following me in the Bodhi ancient tree.

Translation: "Haha, you little girl, look at your level suddenly jumping up like that—must be because you followed me and gained a lot of benefits inside the Bodhi Ancient Tree."

Seeing Xiao Ling's cute move, Lin Feng casually tucked the Stone Clan great elder's corpse into his ring, then went over and rubbed her little head.

Translation: "Seeing Xiao Ling's cute action, Lin Feng casually stored the Stone Clan Great Elder's corpse on the ground into his space ring, then came to the girl's side and rubbed her little head."

As Lin Feng's hand touched Xiao Ling's head, he found her temperature extraordinarily high—any ordinary person touching it would likely ruin their hand.

Translation: "And as Lin Feng's palm touched Xiao Ling's head, he discovered that her body temperature was extraordinarily high; an ordinary person touching it would probably have their hand ruined directly."

However, her hair is smooth and her head size just right, making her perfect for stress relief.

Translation: "However, this girl's hair is smooth, her head size is just right, making her quite suitable for stress relief."

Hehe, when the Bodhi ancient tree dragged the master into the hundred-world reincarnation, I also hurriedly sneaked in. Since the tree's spirit isn't very high, it had this bug, letting me get a freebie.

Translation: "Hehe, back then when the Bodhi Ancient Tree dragged the master into the hundred-world reincarnation, I also hurriedly sneaked in together. And that Bodhi Ancient Tree seems not very high in spiritual intelligence, so it had this bug, letting me take advantage."

Seeing her master's question, Xiao Ling, while letting Lin Feng knead her head, explained.

Translation: "Seeing her master inquire, Xiao Ling, while allowing Lin Feng to knead her head, explained."

Xiao Ling, did you also go through the hundred-world reincarnation?

Translation: "Xiao Ling, did you also enter the hundred-world reincarnation?"

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng startled, his expression stunned as he spoke.

Translation: "Hearing that, Lin Feng was instantly startled, his expression one of astonishment as he spoke."

As for Zi Yan, not knowing what the hundred-world reincarnation entailed, she could only purse her lips and stay silent.

Translation: "As for Zi Yan, since she didn't understand what the hundred-world reincarnation was about, she could only purse her lips and not insert herself into the two's conversation."

Mm.

Translation: "Mm."

Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Xiao Ling nodded and explained: "Perhaps because I'm a strange fire, in there each life I became a strange fire, and each reincarnation lasted an extremely long time—who knows how long I've been cycling?"

Translation: "Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Xiao Ling nodded and explained: 'Perhaps because I am a strange fire, in there each lifetime of reincarnation I turned into a strange fire, and each reincarnation period was extremely long; who knows how much time I spent reincarnating in there.'"

At that point, a hint of fear appeared on Xiao Ling's cute face.

Translation: "Saying this, a trace of lingering fear also rose on Xiao Ling's cute face."

Next, she fearfully grabbed Lin Feng's sleeve, leaned against him, and continued: "Back then I kept reincarnating in there, constantly turning into different strange fires, to the point I almost forgot who I was and how I came to be; if there were a second time, even if they killed me, I definitely wouldn't go back in."

Translation: "Immediately after, she, somewhat frightened, grabbed Lin Feng's sleeve and leaned against him, while continuing: 'Back then I kept reincarnating in there, constantly turning into different strange fires, to the point I almost forgot who I was and how I came to be; if there were a second time, even if beaten to death, I would certainly not go in there.'"

While speaking, Xiao Ling kept burrowing into Lin Feng's arms like a pet seeking comfort, trying to find a sense of safety.

Translation: "While speaking, Xiao Ling, like a little pet seeking comfort, kept burrowing into Lin Feng's embrace, trying to find a hint of security."

Seeing that, Lin Feng also helplessly smirked, then rubbed her head again, comforting: "Xiao Ling, you don't need to be afraid—you've already made it out of that hundred-world reincarnation, so what's there to fear?"

Translation: "Seeing this, Lin Feng also helplessly curled his lips, then rubbed the girl's little head again, comforting: 'Xiao Ling, you needn't fear; you've already made it out of that hundred-world reincarnation, so what's there to fear?'"

Besides, didn't that experience give you plenty of benefits?

Translation: "Besides, didn't that ordeal give you a lot of benefits?"

Upon hearing that, Xiao Ling nodded and said: "That's also true—since experiencing the hundred-world reincarnation in the Bodhi ancient tree, my energy and spirit have surged. After it ended, I began gathering spirit, and just now finally succeeded. Most importantly, my strength has now reached the Dou Saint level, so I can help the master defeat villains."

Translation: "Hearing that, Xiao Ling nodded and said: 'That's also true; since experiencing the hundred-world reincarnation in the Bodhi Ancient Tree, my energy accumulation and spirituality have surged greatly. After that ended, I began Spirit Gathering, and just now I finally succeeded. Most importantly, my strength has now reached the Dou Sheng level, so I can help the master beat bad guys.'"

Saying that, she promptly put her hands on her hips, posing as if waiting for the master to praise her.

Translation: "Saying that, the girl promptly put her hands on her hips, looking like she wanted the master to praise her."

The Dou Saint level was expected. However, according to my estimate, your normal combat power against others should be around two- to three-star Dou Saint. But considering you differ from other strange fires—being a fusion of more than ten extraordinarily rare heavenly flames, and also able to unleash the World-Burning Imperial Lotus—your combat power can't be gauged by ordinary standards.

Translation: "The Dou Sheng rank was also expected. However, according to my estimate, your normal combat power when fighting people should be only about two- to three-star Dou Sheng. But considering you differ greatly from other strange fires, being a fusion of more than ten kinds of extraordinarily strange flames from heaven and earth, and also being able to cast the Burning World Imperial Lotus, your fighting power probably can't be measured by common sense."

After hearing Xiao Ling's words, Lin Feng stroked his chin a few times, then spoke thoughtfully.

Translation: "After hearing Xiao Ling's words, Lin Feng immediately reached out to rub his chin a few times, then spoke thoughtfully."

From the aura he sensed, he could tell Xiao Ling's strength was no more than two- to three-star Dou Saint.

Translation: "From the aura he sensed, he could tell Xiao Ling's strength was also only about two- to three-star Dou Sheng."

However, this girl is a fire spirit formed from more than ten extraordinary flames, and she can also merge the Imperial Lotus, making her combat power threatening even to four-star, up to five-star Dou Saint beings.

Translation: "However, this girl is a fire spirit composed of more than ten kinds of strange flames, and she can also fuse the Imperial Lotus, so her combat power can actually threaten four-star, even five-star Dou Sheng beings."

As for that other ten-colored Imperial Lotus, if he hadn't used about forty percent of his own battle qi to help her, Xiao Ling alone would certainly not be able to condense it.

Translation: "As for that other ten-colored Imperial Lotus, if he hadn't used about forty percent of his own Dou Qi to help this girl, Xiao Ling alone would certainly not be able to condense it."

After all, although Xiao Ling is a strange fire spirit, this only helps increase the speed and degree of fusion using that advantage, making the Imperial Lotus merge more perfectly and boosting the power of this combat technique.

However, the energy required for the fusion does not decrease much.

Therefore, if this girl were to face the Stone Clan great elder alone, with no help, she would surely fail spectacularly.

Moreover, not to mention a six-star Dou Saint; even against a five-star Dou Saint, she could at most repel them, and attempting to kill would likely result in mutual destruction.

Forget it, we'll talk about that later; we're still on the battlefield, so hurry—let's retrieve the other three corpses and then act quickly.

Thinking of his mother still at the battlefield where they just fought, Lin Feng then said to Xiao Ling and Zi Yan.

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't have time to keep talking to them; his figure instantly vanished from the spot.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Seeing that action, the remaining Zi Yan and Xiao Ling, without further words, each rushed toward a two-star Dou Saint corpse.

The next moment, he appeared beside that Stone Clan four-star Dou Saint.

However, upon arriving beside her, Lin Feng discovered that this female four-star Dou Saint of the Stone Clan had already completely stopped breathing.

Seeing that, Lin Feng promptly removed the ring from her finger and slipped it into his collar.

As for the corpse, he stored it in his ring.

We've also collected the remaining two corpses.

Just as the former finished gathering the bodies, Zi Yan and Xiao Ling returned to Lin Feng's side.

Next, two rings of different colors were almost simultaneously tossed by the two women.

Along with them came two bodies disfigured beyond recognition.

Seeing that, Lin Feng directly reached out to catch them, then placed the rings in his collar and stored the bodies in his ring.

After doing that, Lin Feng then waved at Zi Yan and said, "Let's go."

As soon as his words fell, Lin Feng once again shot toward the northwest.

Seeing that, Zi Yan lightly nodded, then her curvy figure instantly shot out, following behind Lin Feng.

Ah, master, wait for me!

And Xiao Ling, seeing this situation, hurriedly shouted, then her tiny body turned into a copper-colored stream of light, flashing across the sky, and then entered Lin Feng's body.

Crack!

Just as Lin Feng and the two continued toward the Northwest Continent, inside the solemn courtyard whose gate plaque bore the vigorous characters 'Ancestral Hall', on a stair-like wooden table in the main hall, among the many spirit tablets flickering with faint green light, the four tablets that were extremely high up suddenly cracked without warning and then dimmed.

And one of those cracked tablets was situated directly beneath the uppermost tablet.

Of course, in this hall where the tablets were placed, it wasn't empty; there were two young people with pale gray skin guarding the hall's entrance.

Hearing a sound from behind, the two simultaneously turned their heads to look back.

Since the hall's door was unlatched, the two women promptly saw those tablets situated toward the front, but which were now cracked and had dimmed, made of jade.

Seeing this situation, which had never occurred in over ten years of their duty, the two's expressions involuntarily turned strange.

Oh no, the spirit tablets of the Grand Elder, the Stone Sunflower Elder, and others have shattered!

And after being dazed for a moment, the two suddenly seemed to recall something, then hurriedly ran out while shouting loudly.

Ula! Ula!

However, this shouting didn't last long; one of the startled, at-a-loss people hastily began to summon everyone to gather.

Hurry, something major has happened!

Meanwhile, as people were busy with their affairs elsewhere, numerous gray figures swiftly flew out from all around, rushing at top speed toward the source of the sound.

Soon, a considerable portion of them landed at the entrance of the Ancestral Hall.

Immediately thereafter, a gray-skinned old man who looked frail and aged turned his gaze toward the two panicked young people, furrowed his brows, and said, "What's the matter with you two? Why are you so flustered, and why have you even triggered the clan's alarm?"
