Chapter 2166: and ===GLOSSARY===

This thing looks kinda effeminate...

We need to keep the quotes? The Chinese includes 「」. Should we keep them? Probably we should keep the quotation marks as part of translation? The instruction: translate faithfully, not add or omit. The Chinese uses 「」 as quotation marks. In English we can use double quotes or keep the Chinese quotes? Usually we replace with English quotes. But that would be adding? Not exactly; we are translating punctuation. The instruction didn't specify to keep Chinese punctuation. We can use English quotes. I'll use English double quotes.

Thus: "This thing looks kinda effeminate..."

Xiao Feng complained.

I can also change into other forms. the Star River Divine Rope immediately replied.

Then its appearance shifted, transforming into a...... sparkling star-light bracelet.

Even more effeminate...

Xiao Feng covered his face.

Xun Shuang witnessed the whole process of him obtaining the Primordial Holy Artifact, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Aren't you capable of countless transformations? Just turn into a girl's form."

Oh, that's also right!

Xiao Feng laughed.

Not wanting to be called effeminate, the best solution is to directly turn into a woman!

He shifted his form, directly copying Xun Shuang beside him; the two were identical.

Looking at the Star River Divine Rope now, an exquisite star-light bracelet adorned the Fairy Maiden's jade wrist, indeed very beautiful.

Don't turn into me, change into someone else. Seeing him like that, Xun Shuang had a not-so-pleasant memory flash through her mind, and immediately expressed resistance.

I won't, you look the best; from now on I'll stroll outside every day using your body! Xiao Feng acted like a rascal, keeping Xun Shuang's appearance, and continued to examine the loot.

There were still many things in the loot bag; the 3300-level Law Extreme Boundary Venerable was very generous.

Xiao Feng took out the second item and had a look.

Although this time it wasn't a Primordial Holy Artifact, it was also a ninth-tier Supreme Treasure, equally strong.

Star Constellation Mask: 9th-tier Supreme Treasure, containing all information of nine powerful beings, can transform into their forms or gain their abilities, each switch requires at least a 60-second interval.

This is a silver-white mask, a treasure born after the fall of the Star Lord, lacking sentience, belonging to a "functional" Supreme Treasure.

Xiao Feng used his Divine Sense to examine, gaining a deeper understanding

briefly.

Star Constellation Mask actually functions similarly to the Star Lord's form-switching ability; used by a player, it offers nine selectable contents, with two usage modes: one is to gain only power, the other is to gain both power and appearance change.

If the form remains unchanged, keeping a human physique, the gained power is relatively low, only 30%; transforming yields 100%.

Of course, these nine beings are not as powerful as the Star Lord demonstrated.

Their levels are all locked at 2000-level Venerable Realm, possessing about ten septillion of blood, about ten quintillion of divine origin power and divine power resistance, with some fluctuations depending on the form's traits.

In terms of law comprehension value, they are all 1,000,000, effective only when casting spells, and do not affect body-tempering effects.

The laws of the nine forms are all different; for example, the Taotie form is the law of devouring, the angel form is the law of battle intent, the stone giant form is the law of strength, the star form is the law of true solar fire, and so on...

Xiao Feng roughly calculated that if he himself used this, the increase in attack power would also be terrifying.

Transforming into the angel form, with ten quintillion divine origin power at hand, the skill can destroy heaven and earth.

But...

The mask's function and his Myriad Gods Demon Battle Body cannot be used simultaneously.

That is to say, either he transforms into a feral beast or into the Star Constellation form; the two cannot stack.

His current divine origin power is about ten quadrillion; after the Myriad Gods Demon Battle Body enhancement, it becomes about seventy quintillion, stronger than the Star Constellation form, the only drawback being that he becomes weakened for a period after use.

So this mask is not very meaningful for Xiao Feng himself.

。 ->. (just a period) Actually line 35 is just a period. We'll output ".".

This could be given to Ning'er; her burst strength is strong, if she transforms into the angel or human emperor form among the nine, wielding the Fallen Gold Crow Divine Bow, I estimate even I would get hurt. Xiao Feng muttered to himself.

Xun Shuang slightly nodded in agreement.

Xiao Feng hadn't considered her, and she didn't feel any loss either; after all, she never liked relying on external objects, and furthermore, the power this mask brings might not be as strong as her own.

Let's see what else there is.

Xiao Feng continued to take out things from the bag.

Two peerless Fairy Maidens that looked exactly alike sat quietly, one serene and tranquil, the other full of joy, completely two different styles.

But both are perfect!

The third item appeared in both of their views.

This time it was a disc-shaped jade object.

Grand Star Technique

Introduction: One of the ultimate secret arts of stellar regulations, it records the method for cultivating the mysteries of the stars, allowing one to obtain stellar might and become immensely powerful. Upon comprehension to the highest realm, one can advance to a ninth-tier secret art.

Restriction: Due to a grudge of blood feud and hatred, the player "Xiao Feng" cannot comprehend it.

Uh...

Seeing the introduction, Xiao Feng was still happy, never expecting to actually obtain an eighth-tier secret art quality skill book.

But upon seeing that sentence, he was completely embarrassed.

He actually wasn't allowed to learn it!

Outrageous!

Shuang'er, I'll give this to you; once you learn it, teach it to me and others. Xiao Feng handed the jade disc to Xun Shuang.

Xun Shuang took it and used her Divine Sense to investigate it a bit.

After a moment, she exclaimed in astonishment: "What a powerful stellar secret art, it is in no way inferior to the Stellar Great Dao recorded in the 'Primitive Classic'."

She had comprehended the Heavenly Dao laws, which originally also included the Stellar Dao.

Xiao Feng nodded and said: 'The more you refer to this,'

'your comprehension of the Stellar Laws should be easier.'

Well, then I won't stand on ceremony with you, fellow cultivator. Xun Shuang accepted this treasure.

Xiao Feng was a little unhappy, pinching her cheek: "Can you not call me fellow cultivator? It's too distant."

"Otherwise?" Xun Shuang asked.

Xiao Feng really wanted to say "call me husband!"

But he knew Xun Shuang would definitely not agree, so he suggested: "Call me by name, or shout 'senior brother'—that would be a bit closer."

"You're only in your twenties, how can you be my senior brother? Besides, you're not a disciple of Yunchu Shan... Let's just call you fellow cultivator; I'm used to it, hard to change." Xun Shuang smiled faintly, then turned back.

Xiao Feng felt a wave of helplessness.

Actually he could see that Xun Shuang's attitude toward him was different from before; her approval was growing, and she was getting a little used to—or even compromising with—his repeated advances.

However, the Fairy Maiden is thin-skinned and stubborn, unwilling to admit these things, so verbally she still keeps her distance, as if trying to prove she hasn't fallen for his ways.

"Fellow cultivator it is, then—it's also a kind of alternative term of endearment..."

Xiao Feng muttered.

None of the women around him call him fellow cultivator; Han Zichen calls him "dao brother," which is a bit closer than fellow cultivator, but there are still some differences between the two.

Compared to being called husband, older brother, or dad, being called fellow cultivator...

Hmm... it's also a special kind of charm!

"You should go."

At that moment, Xun Shuang suddenly picked up the spoils bag resting on her lap and stuffed it into Xiao Feng's arms.

"Why are you rushing me away?" Xiao Feng made an expression just like hers, putting on a look of grievance as he asked.

Xun Shuang's gaze pointed to the wooden hut's

outside, toward the direction where he usually cultivates, she said: "Many people are waiting for you."

"Yeah, a lot of people are waiting—why don't you come with me?" Xiao Feng said, full of anticipation.

Xun Shuang shook her head, said nothing, but refused decisively.

She knows very well what Xiao Feng does all day at home.

Trying to drag her into the water? Impossible!

"Sigh, how exactly can I earn your approval?" Xiao Feng wondered.

Xun Shuang replied: "If by 'approval' you mean that kind of thing, then you'd better not even think about it."

"Not giving any chance at all..."

Xiao Feng wore an expression of helpless regret.

"Hmm." Xun Shuang showed a smile, seeing his expression, she thought he had given up, and felt quite good.
