One of my fairy-like friends

"Then let's rest for a while." Ming Yan offered his shoulder to Huang Feiyan to lean on, which was of course no problem for him.

Is it possible to rely on Feng Shiyi, who is behind you, but not on Huang Feiyan, who is closer to you? Of course not.

"Thanks..."

"Don't say thank you, I wonder who said that," Mingyan joked.

"..." Huang Feiyan's pretty face flushed, and she gently patted Ming Yan, "Okay... I won't tell..."

Huang Feiyan lowered her hand and leaned on Mingyan's shoulder. She was slightly shorter than Mingyan, so it was just right for her to lean on him.

It feels good to have a shoulder to lean on.

It makes people feel at ease.

Huang Feiyan had never spoken more than three sentences with any other man since meeting Mingyan. Mingyan was the only person she had a deep conversation with. After so many things happened between them, they naturally became friends.

At first, Huang Feiyan didn't realize that she had any unusual feelings for Mingyan, since Mingyan had made it clear from the beginning that he had a certain obsession with Ning Feixuan.

Previously, Huang Feiyan didn't quite understand Mingyan's thoughts, but now, after realizing her own feelings, she discovered that Mingyan was actually quite similar to her.

Being saved is such a subtle feeling that it can easily be channeled into other emotions, like...love?

But she and Mingyan were different. Feixuan wouldn't give Mingyan an answer. Mingyan's feelings for Feixuan weren't unshakable. He probably had some doubts. After all, he wouldn't get any reply or feedback. In the end, this relationship would just fizzle out.

Will Mingyan give him an answer? Huang Feiyan thinks he will, because he will eventually realize that Feixuan will not give him anything, and at that time, he will notice the other people around him.

"Mingyan, do you still like Ning Feixuan?" Huang Feiyan asked softly.

"She must like me, right?" Mingyan still had a feeling that he wanted to marry her.

Although he rarely mentioned it, in fact, just before he was about to suffocate and die, he saw her beautiful figure appear in front of him and subdue the evil cultivator who had massacred the village with a wave of his hand.

That scene was something Mingyan would never forget; it was deeply etched in his mind.

At that very moment, Mingyan felt his heart, which had almost stopped beating, resume beating again. The beating was so slow, yet so heavy. He seemed not to have recovered from the feeling of oxygen deprivation. He opened his mouth and stared blankly at Ning Feixuan.

Although Mingyan always felt that Ning Feixuan was unlikely to outshine everyone else, in fact, Ning Feixuan left a very deep impression on him; her timing was perfect.

Mingyan was just a sixteen-year-old boy. She saved him and even helped him take revenge himself.

No one ever explained to Mingyan what love was, but perhaps that suffocating admiration was what love was?

Although he has now reached the level of Ning Feixuan in the past, his thoughts have not changed at all.

He waited quietly. Although he wouldn't shamelessly pester Ning Feixuan, he was willing to wait until Ning Feixuan avenged herself and until her inner turmoil was resolved. He believed she would eventually change.

If it really is just wishful thinking on his part, then... it's not too late to give up then.

But no matter what, Mingyan will definitely repay her kindness.

She saved his life, that counts as one time; she let him take revenge himself, that counts as another time.

You'll have to pay it back sooner or later.

"Should? Aren't you sure?"

“To be honest, I’m a little hesitant because I think my definition of what I call liking or love is very vague,” Mingyan said. “But without a doubt, I want to have her. It might sound a bit… but that’s what I really think.”

Yes, Mingyan is too naive. Growing up in such a remote village, I heard he's somewhat withdrawn due to his personality. No one ever taught him anything; he had to figure everything out and learn on his own. No one told him what was right or wrong...

No one corrected him... He didn't judge whether it was right or wrong.

Perhaps Mingyan actually mistook certain emotions for feelings for Ning Feixuan?

Thinking of this, Huang Feiyan smiled slightly. If that were the case, it would be even more fortunate.

Chapter Thirty-Three: The Entangling Wind Master

Half a day later, the three of them finally arrived in Nanzhou.

They left the teleportation array. Originally, Mingyan wasn't in a hurry to travel, but because of Feng Shiyi's presence, he wanted to send her back to Bai Ze's side as soon as possible. This woman was too mysterious, and Mingyan thought it wasn't a wise choice to keep her by his side.

The three of them walked out of the teleportation array. Feng Shiyi clung tightly to Ming Yan's clothes, staying close by every step of the way.

Huang Feiyan watched from the side, sighing slightly in her heart. In fact, before she came, she had thought about how she and Mingyan would interact. Although it was not appropriate to tell Mingyan her thoughts now, there should be some progress, right? But Feng Shiyi's presence made her feel as if there was an inescapable barrier between them.

Feng Shiyi's unwillingness to leave even for a moment prevented her from doing some of the things she had planned in advance.

Ugh.

It would be good to send Feng Shiyi back sooner rather than later.

"I'm hungry, Mingyan, I want to eat something." Feng Shiyi followed Mingyan and whispered, "I can't walk anymore."

The teleportation array landed in a town. There weren't many mortals in the Southern Continent to begin with, and in this border area, you could hardly find any mortals at all. If it was all cultivators, then although there were some shops selling food and the like in the town, they would definitely be quite scarce.

After all, they are all cultivators, and cultivators don't need to eat; spiritual energy is everything to them.

Of course, there are also cultivators who enjoy eating, since eating is not forbidden in cultivation.

This is a border region, so there should be food, but Mingyan didn't take Feng Shiyi to look for it. The three of them left the town and headed directly to the location of the next teleportation array. They could hunt something along the way for Feng Shiyi to eat.

Before long, Mingyan sensed that someone was following them, and he frowned.

The border area is quite chaotic, which Mingyan could roughly guess. In areas that are not part of the sacred lands of aristocratic families, there is basically no one managing them, so it is normal for the security to be poor.

However, apart from the rather special Feng Shiyi, Ming Yan and Huang Feiyan are at the initial stage of Qi Sea and the initial stage of Divine Palace, respectively. Moreover, their appearances show their age. Although the appearance of a cultivator does not represent their true age, seeing a cultivator who looks so young but has such high cultivation is very likely to be a genius of some force. No one should dare to provoke them.

Huang Feiyan had obviously noticed this as well. The three of them had just left the city, and Mingyan hadn't even had time to take out his carriage when someone followed them. Huang Feiyan transmitted her voice to Mingyan, "Someone is following us, and their cultivation level is about the same as mine."

Ming Yan frowned. If her cultivation level was similar to Huang Feiyan's, then she was also at the Divine Realm.

"Let's see what he's up to. If he really intends to harm us, then we'll deal with him and rid the people of a scourge," Ming Yan transmitted his voice.

Huang Feiyan nodded, and the three of them did not release the chariot, but instead took to the air and flew towards the outside world.

Not long after, Huang Feiyan frowned. "He doesn't seem to have come along. What happened?"

They weren't moving fast, deliberately slowing down for fear of losing each other. Otherwise, although Ming Yan was only at the Qi Sea Realm, he possessed the Human King Body, and ordinary Divine Palace Realm cultivators couldn't keep up with his speed. Huang Feiyan was no ordinary Divine Palace Realm cultivator either; she was a descendant of the Phoenix. Both of them were stronger than normal Divine Palace Realm cultivators.

Since the other party is a cultivator from the Divine Palace, there's no way they couldn't keep up.

"Could it be to monitor us?" Mingyan stopped and frowned. "But why? We just arrived in Nanzhou. Could there be anyone else who knows we're coming here? Impossible."

“Aunt Yue should have only told us this news…” Huang Feiyan pondered for a moment, then looked at Feng Shiyi with a strange expression. Mingyan met her gaze and understood Huang Feiyan’s consideration.

There was another person who knew they had returned to the Southern Continent.

That was Bai Ze, the one who sent Feng Shiyi to his side. She must have known that Ming Yan would set off for Nanzhou to send Feng Shiyi back...

"So that person is a member of the demon race? To confirm that we've come to the Southern Continent?" Mingyan thought for a moment. He couldn't understand why Bai Ze would do this, nor did he know what it represented, so he couldn't deduce whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that Bai Ze knew their whereabouts.

"Very likely," Huang Feiyan said. "Do we need to conceal our whereabouts?"

Mingyan pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright."

Regardless of whether it's Bai Ze or not, it's not good for their whereabouts to be known. They have absolutely no privacy, and Ming Yan doesn't like that feeling. His strength isn't enough to support him doing anything so openly.

Moreover, if it were Bai Ze, then Bai Ze shouldn't be able to threaten his and Huang Feiyan's lives. After all, she brought Feng Shiyi to her side and seemed to hope that he would send Feng Shiyi back.

But if it were someone else, that might not be the case.

“My mother’s carriage is engraved with an array. Once activated, it will be very difficult to detect unless one is a cultivator at the Xuanji Realm or above,” Huang Feiyan said.

Above the Xuanji Realm, isn't that the Renying Realm? The Xuanji Realm is basically filled with elders from various holy lands and aristocratic families, and the Renying Realm is even more so, as they are all Saint Lord level figures. It's unlikely that they would come here specifically to arrest them, right?

Mingyan released Huang Junru's carriage, which began to enlarge after being activated. Mingyan then led Feng Shiyi and Huang Feiyan inside.

The space inside the carriage has not yet been restored, but compared to the two rooms when the spatial laws were first damaged, it has only become four rooms.

After Huang Feiyan entered the carriage, she activated the array on the carriage, and the carriage immediately disappeared.

"Go and choose a room to rest," Mingyan said to Feng Shiyi, who had been following closely behind her.

Feng Shiyi pouted, "I want to be with Mingyan. She said I can't leave Mingyan."

“I’m right next to you, not far away,” Mingyan explained.

"No, I must be with Mingyan." Feng Shiyi wasn't as agreeable as before. She frowned, her eyes gradually welling up with tears. "I can only be with Mingyan... If Mingyan is in this room, then I will be in this room too. If Mingyan is in that room, then I will be in that room too..."

Huang Feiyan, standing beside her, frowned slightly, feeling a bit of a headache. This woman was indeed very persistent...

"Why do you insist on being with me?" Mingyan was also puzzled. "Everyone here is someone you can trust. Feiyan is my good friend, and you can trust her just as much as you trust me."

“No, she said I can only trust Mingyan…” Feng Shiyi shook her head forcefully, her voice beginning to tremble with tears, “Mingyan, please don’t leave me… please… I won’t eat… don’t think it’s a hassle, don’t leave me…”

Mingyan was at his wit's end. He sighed and looked at Huang Feiyan, who helplessly shrugged, indicating that she had no solution either.

She didn't want Feng Shiyi to get close to Ming Yan. She wished Feng Shiyi would go as far away as possible and not disturb the two of them. But obviously, Ming Yan couldn't just throw Feng Shiyi out. He wasn't that kind of person. If he really was, Huang Feiyan wouldn't have these feelings for him.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Feng Shiyi's Secret 17/30

Mingyan sighed. No matter what he said, Feng Shiyi insisted that she had to be with Mingyan because it was "her" who said it.

What exactly did Bai Ze say to Feng Shiyi?

Left with no other choice, Mingyan had to agree. Huang Feiyan, watching from the sidelines, also felt uneasy and could only stay for the time being.

The chariot took off and flew towards the next teleportation array.

Mingyan had a fairly clear idea of ​​the general location of the next teleportation array, but once they arrived at the destination, they would need to stop and learn more about it.

The border towns were in disarray, and Mingyan, with Feng Shiyi in tow, did not want to linger.

Mingyan did not return to the room, but stayed outside. Feng Shiyi followed closely behind her. It was clear that she was a little hungry, as she occasionally rubbed her lower abdomen and pouted, but said nothing.

She had previously said, "I won't eat anymore, don't abandon me..."

Feng Shiyi wouldn't think that she ate too much, so he had to abandon her, would he?

I really don't understand her thought process. Feng Shiyi's way of thinking is indeed slightly different from theirs. Compared to myself, she seems more like a blank sheet of paper.

But... is she pretending, or is she really that naive?

If she's just pretending, what does she want to gain from it?

Not long after, Huang Feiyan also came out and sat down beside Ming Yan. She glanced at Feng Shiyi, who was almost pressed against Ming Yan, and felt a mix of emotions...

Because she had taken the position that rightfully belonged to her, Huang Feiyan felt a strong urge to tear Feng Shiyi off Ming Yan and throw her aside.

Huang Feiyan's gaze was not friendly. Seeing this, Feng Shiyi was a little scared and moved closer to Mingyan, but she didn't say anything. As long as she stayed by Mingyan's side, that was fine.

Huang Feiyan realized that her gaze might have been a bit fierce, and her face flushed slightly. What was wrong with her? Why was she getting jealous of this woman who looked a bit silly? Mingyan wouldn't like her anyway. This stupid and troublesome woman... Once they sent her back, wouldn't it still be time for the two of them to be alone together?
