One of my fairy-like friends

So, you're overthinking it, aren't you?

Thinking this, Huang Feiyan casually asked, "Are you and your senior sister this close?"

"Hmm... because my senior sister and I have a very good relationship." Mingyan nodded. Since such close contact was perfectly acceptable given their close relationship, it didn't seem like a problem if others found out. So Mingyan didn't hide it at all, and didn't even think about it much before nodding.

"..." Huang Feiyan paused, unable to help but glance at Ming Yan, but she quickly realized that she could not show too much surprise, so she quickly controlled her expression and asked casually, "Then what kind of intimate things did you and your senior sister do?"

“We hold hands often…” Mingyan said, “and my senior sister also kisses me often.”

"...Oh...oh...is that so? Where should I kiss you?" Huang Feiyan's tone unconsciously rose, but she quickly suppressed it and asked in a low voice.

"A kiss on the cheek," Mingyan said. In the past, when they were practicing, his senior sister would often kiss Mingyan on the cheek, saying it was to help him get used to something.

"...I see..." Huang Feiyan breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a kiss on the cheek...but that doesn't seem right. It felt a bit too intimate, didn't it?

Hmm...yes, that's right. Qingying must see Mingyan as her younger brother, so in her opinion, a kiss on the cheek is no big deal. Although Huang Feiyan felt a little uneasy, she felt that she shouldn't go to Qingying to say anything because of this. Even if she really became Mingyan's Daoist partner in the future, she shouldn't interfere with the relationship between her and her junior brother and sister.

“However, we’ve kissed,” Mingyan added, noting that this only started recently. “My senior sister even likes to stick her tongue in.”

"...Really?" Huang Feiyan was silent for a moment, her voice low and deep. "Your senior sister kissed you?"

"Hmm...? What's wrong?" Mingyan noticed the unusual tone in Huang Feiyan's voice and couldn't help but glance at her. Huang Feiyan's expression wasn't strange at all. She smiled slightly, "Nothing... I just think that you senior sisters and junior brothers... have a very good relationship. It's enviable."

"Hehe, that's true." Mingyan nodded with a smile. His senior sister was very good to him, so how could their relationship be bad?

After Mingyan turned his head away, Huang Feiyan went completely bewildered. What was that?!

Just now, she was making excuses for Yue Qingying, thinking that it was just that the two of them were too close, kissing each other on the cheek and such. Although it was indeed a bit intimate, it didn't necessarily have to be taken to heart. Even if she had a little bit of a knot in her heart, she should bear it.

But then Mingyan turned around and added, "They also kissed."

Kissing is one thing, but Yue Qingying even likes to stick her tongue inside?!

I've never done that before!

It's one thing for Mingyan to be a bit confused about this kind of common sense, but does that mean you, Yue Qingying, are the same?

Impossible. Huang Feiyan and Yue Qingying have a very good relationship, so she naturally knows that Yue Qingying is not that kind of person. Unlike Mingyan, who grew up in the deep mountains and forests and had no one to give him a proper education.

It's impossible for either of them to lack this common sense; Qingying definitely knows what she should and shouldn't do.

Why would she do that?!

Huang Feiyan asked seemingly casually, "Have you always interacted like this since you first met?"

"Of course not. My relationship with my senior sister is also progressing gradually. The kissing thing actually only started recently. Before I left Feng Lingyueying, my senior sister kissed me on the lips." Ming Yan shook his head. Although his senior sister took good care of him in the past, the two of them had not spent enough time together. Compared to not knowing each other well enough, even close people can have intimate contact, but they had not reached the stage of kissing before.

I only started recently...

In other words, Qingying did this knowing she was going to marry Mingyan...

What exactly is Qingying trying to do?

Huang Feiyan frowned, realizing she needed to ask Qingying properly.

Huang Feiyan still harbored a lingering thought that Yue Qingying was simply too focused on her sect relationship with Mingyan, and that she regarded Mingyan as her own younger brother, which was why she did what she did.

After all, Qingying had never seemed to stop Mingyan from being with her. She had even come to the Huang family in person to inform her that Mingyan was going out. So... so she needed to confront Qingying to find out what she really thought.

However, now...

“Mingyan…” Huang Feiyan looked at Mingyan.

"Hmm?" Mingyan hummed in response, and then saw Huang Feiyan lean forward and kiss his lips, much to his surprise.

Huang Feiyan was shorter than Ming Yan, so she had to stand on tiptoe to kiss his lips.

Did the non-smoker kiss himself?

Is it okay for friends to kiss? It seems even the fairy sister doesn't kiss herself?

Mingyan's mind wandered, and for some reason he thought of his master. Could he kiss his master's lips?

Chapter Fifty: Long-Plotted Treachery

Huang Feiyan's lips were warm.

It's soft and fluffy, with a subtle sweet flavor.

This wasn't Mingyan's first time kissing a woman; he had already had Wang Qingchu and Yue Qingying as precedents, but each time the feeling was different.

Wang Qingchu's lips were as soft as cotton, making one unable to resist indulging in them and feeling completely at ease.

Yue Qingying's lips were delicate and slightly elastic, like soft candy, with an endless sweetness.

Huang Feiyan's lips were probably somewhere in between the two types mentioned earlier; they felt soft to the touch, yet had a slight elasticity.

Unlike others, her lips were more fiery, but not scalding.

She is a descendant of the phoenix. The phoenix... in legend, seems to be a divine bird that controls fire. As a descendant of such a being, it is not surprising that her lips are more fiery than others.

Like Wang Qingchu and Yue Qingying, Huang Feiyan also tried to extend her tongue.

Mingyan found it rather strange. Was this act of sticking one's tongue into the other person's mouth considered close contact? Moreover, the wet and sticky sensation made him feel that this was not something friends should do.

He felt Huang Feiyan's breath on his face, warm and damp, making his body feel hot.

Mingyan did not push Huang Feiyan away; if she wanted to kiss him, then so be it.

Fei Yan acted strangely after hearing that she had kissed her senior sister.

Perhaps it's because... after finding out that she and the fairy sister had been intimate, she's a little bothered, since they don't seem to be that close... It's normal for her to care.

Although Yue Qingying was his senior sister, she was also his friend, and he felt he shouldn't fall behind...

It wasn't that Mingyan hadn't treated everyone equally, but rather that he always felt this kind of thing was rather delicate.

Mingyan naturally trusts the people around him. If he can't trust the people around him, who else can he trust?

So they shouldn't be lying to him, but his intuition seemed to suggest that something was wrong, leaving Mingyan conflicted.

In this situation, Mingyan wouldn't take the initiative. People like Wang Qingchu and Yue Qingying took the initiative themselves. If they themselves don't think it's a big deal, then... let's just pretend it's nothing.

Huang Feiyan kissed for a long time, as if she wanted to make up for what she had missed earlier.

Mingyan didn't stop her until she had kissed him enough, at which point he stepped back a little.

Huang Feiyan's face was rosy, her eyes were moist, and the fire in her eyes was even more dazzling. Mingyan was a little stunned for a moment. Feiyan was too beautiful.

Previously, Mingyan only thought that Huang Feiyan was very beautiful, but now, looking at her again, it was no longer just "very beautiful". It was like the finishing touch on a painting. Ever since Mingyan saw that flame in her eyes, he felt that Feiyan's overall temperament had reached a new level.

Huang Feiyan pursed her lips, then stuck out her little tongue and licked the corner of her mouth. Noticing Ming Yan staring at her blankly, her face flushed even more. She couldn't help but reach out and touch her neck, turning her face to the side, and said shyly, "Why are you looking at me like that..."

"Feiyan seems even prettier than before," Mingyan said with a smile, snapping out of his reverie.

"Really..." Huang Feiyan knew that Ming Yan wasn't the kind of person who would flatter someone and rarely praised their appearance. It was precisely because of this that Huang Feiyan felt a little sweet inside.

She wanted to ask, "Do you like me?"

But as the words were about to come out, he suddenly realized that he shouldn't have said them.

Huang Feiyan pursed her lips, her joy and shyness fading slightly. The feeling of admiring someone but not being able to express it, and having to keep it bottled up inside, was truly uncomfortable.

But let's wait, just as Mingyan is waiting for Ning Feixuan, we must wait too.

"Mingyan..."

Just then, a voice suddenly rang in their ears, startling them both. They cautiously turned their heads to look and found that it was Feng Shiyi, who had woken up at some point.

She tugged at Mingyan's sleeve, looking at him with a pitiful expression, "Why isn't Mingyan by my side anymore?"

“I haven’t gone far.” Mingyan reached out and gently patted Feng Shiyi’s head, speaking softly.

"Oh..." Feng Shiyi leaned closer to Ming Yan, her eyes fixed on Huang Feiyan for a few moments, then focused on Huang Feiyan's lips. She then turned to look at Ming Yan's mouth and asked hesitantly, "What were you doing just now?"

“A kiss,” Ming Yan said calmly. “It’s an act of expressing intimacy.”

Huang Feiyan's face flushed. Something seemed wrong. She couldn't possibly teach this to an outsider.

However, this statement doesn't seem to be wrong; it is indeed an expression of closeness, but that kind of closeness doesn't include friendship...

"..." Feng Shiyi blinked, reached out and touched her cherry lips, "Then...can I kiss Mingyan?"

"No, our relationship hasn't reached that point yet." Mingyan rejected Feng Shiyi. What was his relationship with Fei Yan? And what was his relationship with Feng Shiyi?

The Huang family treated him as one of their own, and Fei Yan trusted him completely. As for Feng Shiyi, Ming Yan didn't even know her specific background.

"Oh..." Feng Shiyi looked a little disappointed. She rubbed her flat stomach. "I'm hungry, Mingyan."

When Huang Feiyan heard that Feng Shiyi wanted to kiss Mingyan, her heart skipped a beat. She was a little nervous, afraid that Mingyan would actually kiss Feng Shiyi. After all, Mingyan's understanding of this matter was not so normal; he had been misled by them.

If Mingyan kisses another woman, she will definitely be the one who suffers. This is her future husband. Why should other women be kissed by him?

Fortunately, Mingyan refused, which relieved her. However, when she thought about the reason for his refusal, which was that Mingyan did not trust Feng Shiyi enough, she felt bitter again. So, as long as he trusts someone and feels close enough, he can be close to them, right?

So, if my second aunt wanted to, she could basically kiss her whenever she wanted.

Qingying went even further; they had already kissed... Moreover, Mingyan's current descent into the wrong path is most likely due to Qingying's influence. It's highly probable that she was the one who led Mingyan astray, which further suggests that Qingying had long harbored ill intentions towards Mingyan...

This won't do. Qingying and Mingyan are so close. They say proximity breeds affection, but we can't let them just stay like this. I must be there when Mingyan is at Fengling Yueying to prevent anything uncontrollable from happening between them...

Moreover, when the Huang family came to ask for Yue Qingying's hand in marriage, Qingying didn't say anything. Now that things have been settled, she's been doing this and that with Mingyan... Huang Feiyan has some resentment towards Yue Qingying.

Chapter 51 The Origin of the Demon Race

Three days later, the carriage arrived at a new place.

Yu Mudan led Ming Yan, Huang Feiyan, and Feng Shiyi out of the car. She was originally from the Southern Continent... a demon from the Southern Continent. Although she was very low-key, she was naturally much more familiar with the places in the Southern Continent than Ming Yan and the others.

"Has Gu Hanshuang returned from Dongzhou?" Mingyan asked. Gu Hanshuang had stayed at Fenglingyueying for a while before leaving. She hadn't stayed long, probably because Mingyan was always unwilling to chat or interact with her, so he got tired of it.

She was proud by nature, so it was unlikely that she would take the initiative to seek out Mingyan to "cultivate feelings," and it was normal for her to leave.

"According to the information I have received, that is indeed the case." Yu Mudan nodded. "I am actually very interested in knowing some details about what happened after Gu Hanshuang went to Fenglingyueying. I wonder if Brother Ming would be willing to reveal them?"

“There are no details. I don’t really want to have any contact with her. You know her personality. Although she said back then that ‘we might become Daoist partners,’ it naturally fizzled out as I avoided her,” Mingyan said, shaking his head.

Yu Mudan's lips curled up slightly. "In my opinion, Brother Ming and Gu Hanshuang are indeed not on the same path and can never get along. Brother Ming's actions are normal and correct."

It was clear that Yu Mudan was very pleased with Ming Yan's handling of the situation; perhaps in her eyes, this was a case of Gu Hanshuang getting the short end of the stick.

It's as if Mingyan and you are on the same side...

Huang Feiyan, standing next to him, pouted. She hadn't really cared much about Mingyan chatting with other women before, but a series of recent events had made her start to pay more attention.
