One of my fairy-like friends

"Hmm." Huang Feiyan nodded, a little embarrassed, "At least I didn't embarrass myself too much, after all, Feixuan and Qingying have already reached the Divine Palace, and I'm only at the Divine Palace now."

Upon hearing this, Huang Junru glanced at her for a day and then let out a soft snort.

Huang Junru was quite dissatisfied with Huang Feiyan's cultivation, which had been stagnant at the Qi Sea stage. The women of the Huang family should be exceptionally outstanding. They had the blood of the phoenix god flowing through their veins. It should be known that the dragon and phoenix races are both extremely powerful. Adult dragons and phoenixes are basically at the Human King realm, and even more powerful ones. Some have even broken through to become Extreme Dao beings. Both races are extremely powerful. Although they are only life forms derived from phoenix blood and the phoenix blood in their veins is relatively thin, as long as they cultivate, their strength should not be too weak.

When the Huang family was not suppressed by the Great Dao, there were times when saints were everywhere in the family, dozens of great saints, and two human kings. The family was extremely powerful.

In fact, with Huang Junru's talent, she should have grown to an extremely terrifying level in an era without the suppression of the Great Dao.

However, she was born within a thousand years after Empress Qingzi attained enlightenment. At that time, the suppression of the Great Dao was more severe than in later periods. Unless she encountered some great opportunity, it would be too difficult for her to become a saint.

"Am I still at the Qi Sea level? Your words make me feel ashamed," Mingyan said with a helpless smile.

"How long have you been cultivating?" Huang Feiyan gave Mingyan a charming eye roll.

That makes sense...

Feng Shiyi sized up Huang Feiyan, then looked at Huang Junru, who was huddled behind Ming Yan, seemingly a little scared.

"Oh, right, I forgot to ask you, who exactly is this fairy?" Huang Feiyan asked with a smile.

“Her name is Feng Shiyi… She seems to have been sent here by Bai Ze, the Demon King of the Southern Continent. I don’t know her purpose, but I plan to send her back to Bai Ze,” Ming Yan said.

"Bai Ze?" Huang Jun frowned slightly. "How did you get involved with her?"

"Mother, do you know this Bai Ze?" Huang Feiyan asked curiously.

“One of the demon kings of the demon race, but she doesn’t manage much affairs, but her strength is extremely powerful. She should be the most powerful among all the demon kings in the Southern Continent. There are even rumors that she has become a saint.” Huang Junru said, “But under the suppression of the Great Dao, it is extremely difficult to become a saint, so it is unknown whether she is a saint or not.”

Mingyan thought of his master. Wasn't his master a saint who achieved enlightenment despite the suppression of the Great Dao? His master was truly amazing...

“If she is truly a saint, then she should be the strongest person below Empress Qingzi…” Huang Junru paused, glanced at Ming Yan, and continued, “…”

The sudden pause of the Phoenix King was probably a hint to his sister, Wang Qingchu...

But actually there is another master, who is a true saint.

"Why would she send Fairy Feng here?" Huang Feiyan asked, puzzled. She glanced at Feng Shiyi, who was hiding silently behind Ming Yan. She seemed to dislike her gaze. Whenever she looked at him, she would bury her head behind Ming Yan. This woman was getting too close to Ming Yan.

“I don’t know either,” Mingyan shook his head.

“I’ve heard that the Demon King Bai Ze has a rather eccentric personality. You’ll need to be careful when you send her back,” Huang Junru said. “If there’s any danger, Fei Yan has a way to contact me. Remember to tell me and your master immediately.”

Huang Junru knew that Yue Wuxia must have left some kind of protection for Ming Yan. Even if Bai Ze really became a saint, he would not dare to easily provoke the Huang family and the Fengling Yueying Holy Land. Although Bai Ze was a demon king, his ancestors had never produced an extreme demon emperor. Without an imperial weapon, even if he was a saint, he might not be a match for someone who wielded an imperial weapon.

"I understand, Auntie." Mingyan felt a warmth in his heart. This auntie, whose tone was cold and icy, actually had a warm side and took good care of him.

"Also, there are some things I want to say to you privately." Huang Jun beckoned to Ming Yan, "Come with me."

Upon hearing this, Ming Yan nodded, instructing Feng Shiyi to stay by Huang Feiyan's side for the time being. Feng Shiyi, somewhat flustered, grabbed Ming Yan's sleeve, "No, I want to stay with Ming Yan, Ming Yan, don't leave me..."

“I’ll bring her back right away. Fei Yan is my friend, you can trust her.” Ming Yan patiently explained, “It won’t be long.”

“I…Mingyan, you can’t lie to me…” Feng Shiyi’s eyes showed a hint of hesitation. She looked at Huang Feiyan, then at Mingyan, waiting for his reply.

"Of course I wouldn't lie to you..." Mingyan said helplessly, not expecting her to be so clingy...

Feng Shiyi then loosened her grip on Ming Yan's clothes, stood beside Huang Feiyan with a wronged expression, and timidly glanced at Huang Feiyan.

Huang Feiyan was also somewhat amused and exasperated. Did she look that fierce? Why was she so afraid of her?

Chapter Thirty-One: Huang Junru's Entrustment (18/30)

Mingyan turned around and saw that Feng Shiyi and Huang Feiyan were keeping their distance. Feiyan seemed to want to talk to Feng Shiyi, but Feng Shiyi was rather resistant.

Seeing this, Mingyan sighed softly. How could he trust himself but not Feiyan?

I have a feeling that if things continue like this, some trouble will arise.

Mingyan turned his head and walked to the side with Huang Junru.

He noticed a gold bracelet on Huang Junru's wrist. The bracelet was the perfect size for Huang Junru, and the red palace dress and gold bracelet were a perfect match, making her look noble and elegant without being vulgar in the slightest.

Just now, Fei Yan's wrist seemed to have something shiny gold, and it was this gold bracelet that she picked up?

Is this a treasure of the Huang family? Mingyan doesn't recall ever seeing either of them wear it before.

“This was a gift from your sister to me and Feiyan,” Huang Junru said, turning her head.

Mingyan was somewhat surprised. How did she know he was staring at the bracelet on her wrist? Did she have eyes in the back of her head? Or was this the power of a cultivator at the Human Realm?

So, if I were to secretly watch my master, wouldn't my master be fully aware of it?

I think I peeked at Aunt Huang too... cough cough, but it can't really be called peeking, I just glanced at her.

"It's a gift for Auntie and Fei Yan," Mingyan said with a smile, revealing that it was a gift from his sister.

“Yes, both Feiyan and I like it very much. Feiyan is obsessed with it.” Huang Junru nodded gently. Although her tone was still indifferent, one could feel a unique sense of peace. “I know you are going to the Southern Continent. The demon race in the Southern Continent is more powerful than that in the Eastern Continent. Although Gu Hanshuang of the human race in the Southern Continent is indeed stronger than the demon race, the number one demon race actually comes from the Southern Continent. Don’t let your guard down too much when you go there.”

“I know, Auntie.” Mingyan nodded.

Huang Junru stretched out her hand, "Tell me in detail, what's the deal with this Feng Shiyi?"

Mingyan then gave a general account of what had happened since he met Feng Shiyi. Huang Junru frowned slightly, lowered her head, and pondered.

As a cultivator at the Human Transformation Realm, she could naturally sense Feng Shiyi's extraordinary nature. Although Feng Shiyi did not have any cultivation, her physical body was clearly different from ordinary people.

“She is very likely a demon, otherwise she could not possess such a physical body without any cultivation.” Huang Junru said, “In any case, she should be sent back. Since Bai Ze’s waist token is on her, there must be some relationship between her and Bai Ze. If Bai Ze personally sent her to your side, he may have some purpose. We should not let our guard down against her. Although Bai Ze is unlikely to threaten your life, he may have some scheme against you.”

Mingyan nodded, "This junior understands."

Mingyan naturally wouldn't completely trust Feng Shiyi. Although the woman looked extremely innocent and pitiful, he always kept a degree of wariness towards her. Bai Ze wouldn't have sent her to him without a reason. Her appearance in front of him must have been for some purpose, but whether it was beneficial or detrimental to him was unclear.

Huang Junru stretched out her arm, opened her jade palm, and a miniature carriage appeared in her hand. The carriage was very exquisite and beautiful, and it contained spatial laws, with a small mansion inside.

"I'm giving it to you as a means of transportation, so you'll have less to endure and less trouble. Remember, if you encounter any problems, be sure to tell me. Since the teleportation portal is unusable on your way to the Southern Continent, it will take us a long time to get here, so we can't afford to be delayed even for a moment. The Huang family has some connections in the Southern Continent, and they might be able to arrange for someone to protect you. Be very careful."

"Auntie... thank you." Mingyan could feel the concern in Huang Junru's cold tone, and his heart softened. Perhaps it was because this strong contrast brought him a certain impact, and Mingyan was somewhat moved.

“In my eyes, you are a member of the Huang family. You saved Fei Yan and Qing Fei. The Huang family owes you a lot.” Huang Junru shook her head.

Mingyan pursed his lips and nodded, "In my heart, Auntie is also my family."

He reached out and took the carriage without further ado. Huang Junru took his hand in return. Her palm was like silk, her skin delicate, like a gentle breeze caressing the back of his hand. "Take good care of Feiyan."

"Ah."

Huang Junru then released Mingyan's hand and turned to leave.

Mingyan looked at the miniature carriage in his hand. This was Huang Junru's vehicle, and in a sense, it was also a symbol of Huang Junru's status. Why didn't she give it to Feiyan, but instead gave it to him?

Mingyan looked up, but didn't see Huang Junru's background. She was a cultivator at the Human Realm, and in the blink of an eye, she had traversed an extremely long distance, and he didn't know how far she had gone.

He turned around and returned to the two women. When Feng Shiyi saw Ming Yan approaching, she quickly grabbed his sleeve and hid behind him. Huang Feiyan felt a little helpless and said, "My mother has left?"

“Yes, she left the carriage to us.” Mingyan held the miniature carriage and handed it to Huang Feiyan, but Huang Feiyan did not reach out to take it. She shook her head and said, “Since Mother gave it to you, then you can keep it.”

Huang Feiyan was well aware of Huang Junru's feelings for Mingyan. She even felt that, in fact, Huang Junru might have preferred Mingyan to be her son...

Mother was extremely satisfied with Mingyan and liked him very much. She regarded him as a member of the Huang family and even treated him as her own son.

Of course, Mingyan might not know these things yet...

"Let's go, let's set off." Huang Feiyan put aside her chaotic thoughts and smiled.

Mingyan nodded and walked into the teleportation array with Huang Feiyan and Feng Shiyi.

Feng Shiyi remained silent, keeping her distance from Huang Feiyan, clutching Ming Yan's clothes tightly, unwilling to let go.

Huang Feiyan glanced at Feng Shiyi and saw that she had turned her head to the side. She couldn't help but transmit her voice to Ming Yan and said, "I feel like she really dislikes me."

"Who knows... I still don't know anything about this woman's background, or what her purpose was in getting close to me. With you by my side, I can feel a little more at ease," Mingyan replied.

Hearing Mingyan say this, Huang Feiyan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Mingyan didn't have those kinds of feelings for this woman, which was good...

That's right. Doesn't Mingyan still like Ning Feixuan? How could he suddenly fall for a woman who just appeared? Although she is very beautiful, it's not that Huang Feiyan is arrogant. She is also very beautiful, and Mingyan hasn't shown any ulterior motives.

In a sense, Huang Feiyan really admired Ming Yan's devotion. He was so devoted to Ning Feixuan now, so he would be just as devoted to her in the future, wouldn't he?

Chapter Thirty-Two: So-called Liking

The teleportation array activated, and Huang Feiyan subconsciously moved closer to Ming Yan.

She used to go out alone often. In order to find a way to cure Huang Qingfei, she went to many places in the Eastern Continent, but she had never been to the Southern Continent.

Didn't she also meet Mingyan during her travels?

No, to be precise, she encountered danger during her travels and ended up being found by him.

Huang Feiyan was still very fortunate that it was Mingyan who found her, and not someone else.

The feeling of the interstate teleportation array is very different from that of a regular teleportation array. After the teleportation array started operating, one could clearly feel a slight discomfort, and one's eardrums were vibrating. Ming Yan looked around and found that he was relatively okay; some people were trembling all over.

Strangely, although the continents of Yaoguang Star are divided into four major continents, the feeling of teleporting between them is completely different, as if he has been transported to another world...

Why do I feel this way when we are on the same continent?

Mingyan felt that there were still many things he didn't know about Yaoguang Star.

Perhaps only after becoming a fully-fledged adult king body at the half-step extreme level will he be able to fully understand Yao Guang Star.

Huang Feiyan also reached out and grabbed Mingyan's clothes. She was more uncomfortable than Mingyan, but better than the others.

Mingyan turned to look at her and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

Huang Feiyan shook her head, indicating that she was fine. Mingyan then turned to look at Feng Shiyi, who had remained silent and hadn't said a word, only to find that she had fallen asleep against him, her breathing steady, clearly fast asleep.

...It seems like it doesn't have any impact, otherwise how could I have fallen asleep? If there were any real problems, I would have woken up long ago.

It must be said that Feng Shiyi's physical body is indeed extraordinary. Even Ming Yan felt uncomfortable, but Feng Shiyi was still able to sleep.

----------------

It took half a day to teleport from the Eastern Continent to the Southern Continent, and we still haven't arrived.

During the journey, Feng Shiyi woke up twice, muttering that she was very hungry, and then fell asleep again soon after.

Even when Feng Shiyi was asleep, she was still clutching Mingyan's clothes tightly, unwilling to let go.

Huang Feiyan watched Feng Shiyi leaning against Mingyan, and she didn't know what to feel. She sighed softly in her heart, hesitated for a moment, and then moved closer to Mingyan again, resting her head on his shoulder.

Mingyan turned his head to look at Huang Feiyan and saw that her face was flushed and her eyes were closed. He couldn't help but ask with concern, "Feiyan, are you alright? Your face is a little red."

"It's nothing, I just wanted to rest for a while..." Huang Feiyan didn't dare to open her eyes. She was too shy to look at Ming Yan's face and expression.
