"Qi Luck seal? What does that mean?" Xiao Feng hurriedly asked.

Translation: "Qi Luck seal? What does that mean?" Xiao Feng hurriedly asked.

Xun Shuang Immortal Maiden sprang up from the bed, ice shards falling, filled with anxiety and bewilderment she stared at the Heaven-Shaking Arrow, asking: "Senior Supreme Treasure, can my child still awaken? Please tell me what to do; I will do my utmost."

Translation: Xun Shuang Xianzi also suddenly sat up from the bed, ice shards falling, she stared at the Heaven-Shaking Arrow with anxiety and uncertainty, asking: "Senior Supreme Treasure, can my child still awaken? Please tell me what to do; I will do my utmost."

Note: "Supreme Treasure senior" = Senior Supreme Treasure.

Heaven-Shaking Arrow said: "Stay calm, don't be so agitated. As a Qi Luck Supreme Treasure, I sense that your child's body bears a firm Qi Luck seal. Earlier we found that Xun Shuang had a Qi Luck wound; though it hardly harms her, it mainly concentrates on the child."

Translation: The Heaven-Shaking Arrow said: "Stay calm, don't be so agitated. As a Qi Luck Supreme Treasure, I sense a firm Qi Luck seal on your child's body. Earlier we found Xun Shuang had a Qi Luck wound; it actually does her little harm, mainly concentrated on the child."

Note: "Qi Luck Supreme Treasure" = Qi Luck Supreme Treasure.

Upon hearing this, the two became even more perplexed.

Translation: Upon hearing this, the two became even more puzzled.

"Arrow Brother, can you explain more clearly? Speaking like this will make us anxious to death!" Xiao Feng eagerly wanted to know exactly what to do, and whether the child could recover.

Translation: "Jian Ge, can you explain more clearly? Speaking like this will make us anxious!" Xiao Feng eagerly wanted to know exactly what to do, whether the child could recover.

Seeing his eager expression, the Heaven-Shaking Arrow had to make a long story short, explaining: "As long as you find two gentle-natured Qi Luck Supreme Treasures to undo the Qi Luck seal, your child will recover and continue developing. It won't die; this child, blessed by heaven's mandate, is an Unrivaled Divine Fetus."

Translation: Seeing his eager expression, the Heaven-Shaking Arrow had to make a long story short, explaining: "As long as you find two gentle-natured Qi Luck Supreme Treasures to unlock the Qi Luck seal, your child will recover and continue developing.

Note: "Qi Luck Supreme Treasure" = Qi Luck Supreme Treasure; "Qi Luck seal" = Qi Luck seal; "blessed by heaven's mandate" = blessed by heaven's mandate; "Unrivaled Divine Fetus" = Unrivaled Divine Fetus.

It can still recover!

Blessed by heaven's mandate!

The Heaven-Shaking Arrow's words made both of them show ecstatic expressions.

"Really? Can my child still come back to life!" Xun Shuang Immortal Maiden exclaimed joyfully, hot tears falling.

Translation: "Really? My child can still come back to life!" Xun Shuang exclaimed joyfully, hot tears falling.

Heaven-Shaking

The Arrow gave an affirmative reply: "It's not dead at all, so what's this talk of coming back to life? This Divine Fetus at least needs to gestate for tens of thousands of years before birth; you slowly search for the gentle Qi Luck Supreme Treasures and slowly endure."

We need to combine lines 15 and 16? They are separate lines but together form a sentence. We must output each line separately with its translation. So line 15 is just "Heaven-Shaking". We need to translate that line alone. It's just the character "Heaven-Shaking". As a term, we translate meaning: "Heaven-Shaking". But it's part of the name. However we must output a translation for line 15. The instruction: translate each line. So we need to translate "Heaven-Shaking" as "Heaven-Shaking". Similarly line 16: "The Arrow gave an affirmative reply: 'It's not dead at all, so what's this talk of coming back to life? This Divine Fetus at least needs to gestate for tens of thousands of years before birth; you slowly search for the Qi Luck Supreme Treasure and slowly endure.'"

Thus line 15: Heaven-Shaking -> Heaven-Shaking. (We could also keep as Heaven-Shaking as translation.)

Line 16: The Arrow gave an affirmative reply: "It's not dead at all, so what's this talk of coming back to life? This Divine Fetus at least needs to gestate for tens of thousands of years before birth; you slowly search for the Qi Luck Supreme Treasure and slowly endure."

Note: The term "Arrow" refers to the Heaven-Shaking Arrow; we can translate it as "The Arrow". "Divine Fetus" translates to Divine Fetus. "Qi Luck Supreme Treasure" translates to Qi Luck Supreme Treasure. "slowly endure" translates to slowly endure.

"Up, up to tens of thousands of years?"

Translation: "Tens of thousands of years?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng went dumbfounded.

Translation: Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng went dumbfounded.

If a child gestates for tens of thousands of years, wouldn't that mean it's ten thousand years old as soon as it's born?

Translation: A child gestating for tens of thousands of years—wouldn't that mean they're ten thousand years old right after birth?

Just how terrifying would that child be!

Translation: Just how terrifying would that child be!

Only then did the two understand what the Heaven-Shaking Arrow meant by an Unrivaled Divine Fetus.

"Dao friend, hehe..." the Heaven-Shaking Arrow chuckled, then flew back into Xiao Feng's body and disappeared.

Xiao Feng heard.

Upon hearing, his feelings became complicated, not knowing whether it was embarrassment or gloom.

Thus line 39: "Xiao Feng heard". Line 40: "Upon hearing, his feelings became complicated, not knowing whether it was embarrassment or gloom."

But we need to keep each line as a single output line. We'll do that.

He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he changed the subject, asking: "How are you feeling?"

"I feel a bit cold; the residual power of the Azure Dragon is strong, requiring several years of adjustment to fully eradicate." she replied.

Translation: "A bit chilly; the residual might of the Azure Dragon's power is strong, needing several years of adjustment to fully eradicate." she replied.

Upon hearing her say she was cold, Xiao Feng wanted to hug her to give her warmth.

Translation: Upon hearing her say she was cold, Xiao Feng wanted to go over and give her warmth.

But Xun Shuang Immortal Maiden is no ordinary girl; she doesn't fall for his tricks. Right after saying that, she added: "I can heal myself; Dao friend, if you have time, please help find the 'gentle Qi Luck Supreme Treasure' mentioned by that Supreme Treasure senior just now. I'm temporarily unable to move, my magical power is stagnant, and I cannot travel far."

Translation: But Xun Shuang Xianzi is no ordinary girl; she simply won't fall for his tricks. Having just said that, she added: "I can heal myself; fellow cultivator, if you have time, please help find the 'gentle Qi Luck Supreme Treasure' mentioned earlier by that Supreme Treasure senior. I'm temporarily unable to move, my magical power stagnant, unable to travel far."

Note: "Supreme Treasure senior" = Supreme Treasure senior.

"Hmm, I'll handle searching for the Supreme Treasure; you first recover your health." Xiao Feng nodded.

Translation: "Sure, I'll handle searching for the Supreme Treasure; you first recover your health." Xiao Feng nodded.

Looking at Xun Shuang Immortal Maiden with ice forming on her body, he had many things to say, but when the words reached his lips, he didn't know how to start.

Translation: Looking at Xun Shuang Xianzi with ice forming on her body, he had many things to say, but when the words reached his lips, he didn't know how to begin.

"This..."

Translation: "This..."

Xiao Feng laughed and cried at once.

"Dao Ancestor was too wicked. I truly respect you in my heart, and I really had no intention to harm you."

Translation: "the Dao Ancestor was too wicked. I truly respect you, really had no intention to harm you."

"That's good." Xun Shuang nodded, not dwelling on the topic.

"That... will you... change back?" Xiao Feng asked cautiously.

He still liked that peerless fairy maiden; although she was still herself now, her appearance was much more ordinary, so she always seemed to be missing something.

Xun Shuang Xianzi saw his expectant look, clenched her hands, gritted her teeth, and squeezed out: "Fellow cultivator, please conduct yourself properly; don't make the same mistake again!"

"I... alright." Xiao Feng gave a bitter smile.

He really just wanted her to regain her original appearance; it was purely visual appreciation, with no improper thoughts.

Unfortunately, Xun Shuang Xianzi didn't think so; after what happened before, she was now full of wariness toward him, no longer the close friends who once discussed the Dao and could talk about anything.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but think of a saying: If they can't become lovers, they will become enemies.

Although the situation now isn't that serious, it's pretty much the same.

"Please leave, fellow cultivator." Xun Shuang Xianzi coldly issued the order to evict.

Xiao Feng nodded and said: "Alright, then I'll go out to inquire about news of the supreme treasure; you stay home and heal properly. If you need anything, you can tell the people downstairs; they're all my... good friends."

After saying that, he gazed at her reluctantly, then glanced at her lower abdomen, feeling a bit worried and wistful, turned and went downstairs.

By now a full day had passed since he obtained the Nine-turn Returning Soul Pill; in fact, he could begin cultivating for the second day.

But someone at home was driving him away, so he could only disappear for a few hours, arranging the cultivation time.

adjusting to the latter half of the day.

Xun Shuang Xianzi watched Xiao Feng leave until his aura vanished within the secret realm.

She spread her divine sense, beginning to familiarize herself with the surroundings.

As soon as the first second passed, she was shocked by the Yingying Yan Yan downstairs.

Just moments ago, half-conscious and half-delirious, she hadn't noticed the women around her.

Now upon looking, Xiao Feng's so-called "good friends" were surprisingly many, and each one was so beautiful that she couldn't help but feel a complex mix of emotions.

Extending her detection a bit farther, the environment of the entire World Ancient Tree fell within her perception.

For a moment, Xun Shuang couldn't help but be stunned, shocked by the superior environment of Xiao Feng's cave abode.
