One of my fairy-like friends

Stealing from someone's ancestral graves and eating their offerings is truly despicable. If Mingyan weren't so trustworthy and didn't intend to go back on his promises, I really wouldn't have been willing to help this guy.

Gu Hanshuang naturally said that she had lost track of them and that they were probably still hiding inside. The Saint Lord-level figures did not ask any further questions and left.

Knowing that they had walked a certain distance, Mingyan threw the fish belly out and tossed it aside. The fish belly was still unconscious. Gu Hanshuang was very careful with her actions. Mingyan told her not to wake up for a while, and it didn't wake up for a while.

After finishing the fish belly, Mingyan and the others did not linger. Gu Hanshuang suggested that they act together, and Mingyan did not refuse, as he could take this opportunity to get closer to Gu Hanshuang.

In addition, Mingyan originally planned to learn about love and romance from his senior sister, but now it seems... that's not appropriate.

The group first returned to the Dragon Palace of the South China Sea.

It is worth mentioning that news spread that Yu Mudan had briefly fought Gu Hanshuang and was not at a disadvantage, which made everyone extremely interested in this mysterious woman.

The group did not linger at the South China Sea Dragon Palace and soon left the place.

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

Soon, a month had passed. Unfortunately, apart from the ancient dragon tree and the "tower" they found in the dragon's nest, Mingyan and his group did not find anything else. And what they found was obviously unrelated to the previous civilization. But that's how opportunities are. You can't have everything. With the immortal fruit and the "tower", they had already made a great harvest.

Mingyan was eager to return to Dongzhou and hand over the immortal fruit and the "tower" to his master, hoping that his master could calm down.

During this time, Yu Mudan hid herself very well and did not contact Ming Yan. So, although Gu Hanshuang had been searching for her, she did not find any clues. When she left the sea area, Yu Mudan did not show herself. However, she must have been mixed in with the crowd, but she was just very good at hiding.

After leaving the sea area, Mingyan told Gu Hanshuang that he planned to return to Dongzhou. Gu Hanshuang did not intend to go to Dongzhou and left Zhenhai City first.

Mingyan and the others returned to the place where they had stayed briefly before, and Huang Junyi was still there.

Upon returning, Huang Feiyan immediately told Huang Junyi about Mingyan's assassination attempt. Huang Junyi frowned slightly, "Tiangang seems to have forgotten some past events, daring to even harm someone the Huang family is supposed to protect. I will explain this to my sister when we get back and we will begin investigating. Mingyan, you must also be careful and not let them succeed."

Mingyan nodded. After resting for a while, they immediately set off back to Dongzhou.

During the journey, Mingyan gave Huang Junyi a celestial fruit, which Huang Junyi accepted with a smile, and even teased Mingyan a little...

This fairy sister is different from Fei Yan, her senior sister, and her older sister. They all... told themselves that what they did was okay, but the fairy sister was different. She knew there was a problem, and she didn't mind letting him know there was a problem, but she still did that with him...

The group boarded the carriage and left Zhenhai City.

Feng Shiyi also wanted to leave with Mingyan. This guy was very clingy and didn't want to leave Mingyan at all.

Meanwhile, Huang Feiyan found an opportunity to meet Huang Junyi.

"Second Aunt... I'd like to ask you for a favor." Huang Feiyan had originally thought that Mingyan might stay in Nanzhou for a while longer, so she hesitated. But she didn't expect Mingyan to decide to return to Dongzhou immediately. This made Huang Feiyan feel that she had no time to hesitate at all. Once Mingyan returned to Dongzhou, he might quickly deal with Ning Feixuan's matter. At that time, Yue Qingying could take advantage of her proximity to get the moon first, and she would become the loser. That wouldn't do.

Therefore, she found the only person she could consult, Huang Junyi.

"Oh?" Huang Junyi looked at Huang Feiyan with interest. "Tell me more?"

"Ahem... Due to certain circumstances, Mingyan and I... have taken a step closer?"

"What's gotten closer? Explain in detail," Huang Junyi said warily.

"It's just that... Mingyan and I... Mingyan and I have consummated our marriage." Huang Feiyan's face was flushed, and she coughed twice.

Huang Junyi looked at Huang Feiyan with a strange expression, then chuckled, "What are you talking about? I don't have that kind of courage even if I knew Feiyan."

Chapter 88 Huang Junyi Prepares for Action

Huang Feiyan looked at Huang Junyi with wide eyes, somewhat indignant.

What does that mean? What do you mean she knows Huang Feiyan doesn't have that kind of courage? Don't underestimate me...

However, without the matter of the immortal fruit, perhaps... it would have been very difficult for me and Mingyan to take this step. If we hadn't taken this step, when Mingyan and Feixuan parted on bad terms, could I and Mingyan really have gotten together?

Moreover, even if this development takes place... don't forget, there's also Yue Qingying, who also has this relationship with Ming Yan.

Huang Feiyan couldn't help but recall Feng Shiyi's words: only in this way could Mingyan be saved...

She didn't quite understand what this meant. Was it only by having marital relations with Mingyan that they could save him? Why was that?

No, no, I'm getting carried away. Huang Feiyan coughed twice. "It's true. Why would I lie to you?"

"Really?" Huang Junyi's beautiful eyes were filled with deep surprise. "No...you really slept with Mingyan?"

“Of course.” Huang Feiyan hesitated for a moment, then took out a palm-sized fragment from her Qi Sea World, with lotus-shaped bloodstains remaining on it. “This is proof…”

At that time, both Huang Feiyan and Yue Qingying collected the bloodstains as a kind of testimony. They had both taken that step. Although it was a bit sudden, neither of them had expected to have a relationship with Mingyan so quickly. It lacked some romance, and with other people present, it lacked a bit of atmosphere and tenderness. But it was enough. If they could be with Mingyan in the future, all of that could be made up for.

Huang Junyi's expression underwent a subtle change. She looked at Huang Feiyan with a faint sense of unfamiliarity in her eyes. For a moment, she didn't say a word, just silently looking at Huang Feiyan, probably not knowing what to say either.

"But the problem is that although Mingyan and I have consummated our marriage, Qingying and Mingyan have also consummated their marriage at the same time." Seeing that her second aunt had fallen silent, Huang Feiyan couldn't help but feel a little smug. You have ulterior motives towards Mingyan every day, but you can only listen to me and Mingyan consummate our marriage.

However, after a brief moment of smugness, Huang Feiyan came to her senses. Now was not the time to be complacent; the crisis was not yet over.

Upon hearing this, Huang Junyi snapped out of her daze, and her expression immediately turned strange. "...So, how did you two consummate your marriage? Tell me in detail."

Huang Feiyan could only recount the situation at the time. Upon hearing this, Huang Junyi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a charming smile. "It turns out it wasn't you who initiated it at all. I thought your personality had changed and you were taking the initiative. Turns out it was just because of the immortal fruit."

As for Feng Shiyi's identity, Huang Junyi wasn't surprised. She had actually guessed Feng Shiyi's identity earlier. Her physical body was too extraordinary, probably even surpassing that of a Saint in the Manifestation Realm.

"Ahem..." Huang Feiyan's face was flushed. She had been quite smug just now, but now that she had been seen through, she felt a little embarrassed. She really didn't have the courage to take the initiative to bring it up with Mingyan, or even actively seek to have marital relations with him. After all, it would be a loss if Mingyan disliked her because of this. "In short, the current situation is... After Mingyan returns to Dongzhou, he will definitely deal with Ning Feixuan's matter soon. In the end, it will definitely end badly. At that time, I need to make sure that Mingyan chooses me instead of Yue Qingying."

"Oh? So, you came to me wanting my help? Right?" Huang Junyi crossed her legs, the gold trim on her red dress making her look exceptionally noble. Her eyes were bright and captivating, and her tone was alluring. "Let me hear how you want me to help you?"

"Help me?" Huang Feiyan asked warily. "I just want my second aunt to give me some advice. Don't overthink it, second aunt."

"Give me ideas? That's easy. Two people are definitely more than one." Huang Junyi crossed her arms, making the already impressive Holy Mountain appear even more magnificent, and a charming smile played on her lips.

Huang Feiyan immediately panicked, "I didn't want my second aunt to help me like this! No! You're not helping me at all, are you?"

"I don't like what you're saying. How is this not helping you?" Huang Junyi said unhappily. "How is this not helping you? You came to me yourself, which means you think you can't compete with Yue Qingying at all. Otherwise, why would you come to me? You could have just not come to me and compete with Yue Qingying yourself."

Huang Feiyan knew she was no match for Yue Qingying. Her best friend of many years had poured too much emotion into Mingyan and revealed a side of her that she had never seen before... Yue Qingying was too clever and too skilled. Mingyan simply couldn't outmaneuver her and would be completely outmatched!

From this perspective, Qingying seems like a bad woman, while I am just a pitiful person trying to prevent the person I love from being harmed by a bad woman.

But... you can't rely on yourself alone. The reason bad women are bad is because they understand men's hearts too well, they know too well how to seize their weaknesses, and then subtly kick others aside and possess him...

Huang Feiyan bit her cherry lips, a hint of struggle on her beautiful face. But should she really ask her second aunt for "help"? Her feelings for Mingyan were obvious; she hadn't hidden them at all and had even openly told her that she had designs on Mingyan.

"What exactly are you struggling with?" Huang Junyi stood up and walked to Huang Feiyan. "Don't forget, you can pursue him slowly and make your feelings for him pure, but you must never lose him, because you know very well what Mingyan means to the Huang family."

From the moment Mingyan first came to the Huang family, Huang Junyi had been observing him. She truly liked his personality. She knew very well that as long as the Huang family treated him well enough, he would never abandon the Huang family once he grew up. He would even risk his life for the Huang family. Of course, the Huang family didn't need him to go to such lengths, but he would definitely do it.

And coincidentally, this very person can also help the Huang family solve many problems. If the Huang family is concave, then Mingyan is convex, perfectly filling what the Huang family lacks. There is no one more suitable than Mingyan.

Huang Feiyan sighed softly. She always tried to avoid this point and forget about it, because every time she thought about it, she felt that her feelings for Mingyan were not so pure, as if something else was mixed in. But after Huang Junyi brought it up, Huang Feiyan had no choice but to keep this matter in her heart.

This is not only about her personal happiness, but also about the Huang family.

If Mingyan weren't a member of the Huang family and couldn't marry her, he would naturally help the Huang family given their relationship with them. But what does that mean? From now on, the Huang family's bloodline will be mixed with Mingyan's blood, yet Mingyan is an outsider? What kind of logic is that?

One of the conditions under which the Huang family agreed to rely on Mingyan to solve the current problem of the Huang Blood Pool losing its activity was that Mingyan must be a member of the Huang family. This point must not be shaken. If Mingyan chooses Qingying, then without a doubt, his relationship with the Huang family will only be one of gratitude and friendship, and he will not be considered a member of the Huang family at all.

The Huang family believes that Mingyan marrying into the family is the best option, but everyone knows that the possibility of that is too low. They personally took him away to Feng Lingyueying, so they can't let Mingyan marry into the family. If they had kept Mingyan in the first place, things might have been different, but now, marriage is the best way.

"So I came to...my second aunt for help."

"Then how else do you think I can help you?" Huang Junyi chuckled. "Anyway, we'll have to use the Phoenix Blood Pool mixed with Mingyan's bloodline to nurture the next generation. I'm not opposed to using a straightforward method at all."

"..." Huang Feiyan's thoughts were complicated. She only knew to look for her second aunt. She had no other choice. As for Huang Junyi's statement that two people are more than one, she did not consider it at all. What a joke! If her second aunt started it, what if it got out of control? With so many women in the family, what would she, as a wife, be?

"Still hesitating? By the time you start hesitating, Yue Qingying might be climbing into Mingyan's bed again." Huang Junyi sat down again and smiled slowly.

"Second Aunt, there's no need to try to provoke me. It won't work. Qingying can't possibly do this right now." Huang Feiyan rolled her eyes. Yue Qingying was also waiting for a result regarding Mingyan and Ning Feixuan's matter. Before that, even she wouldn't dare to make any rash moves.

"Then you should seize the initiative even more." Huang Junyi smiled. "Let me help you, Fei Yan. Don't hesitate any longer. If you hesitate any longer, you will lose Ming Yan."

"..." Huang Feiyan looked at Huang Junyi, "What kind of aunt are you, always thinking about climbing into your nephew's bed?"

"I'm helping you," Huang Junyi said righteously. "Otherwise, with your own abilities, you would have lost Mingyan without even realizing it."

"Pah!" Huang Feiyan couldn't listen anymore and turned to leave. Huang Junyi sighed heavily at the sight. She was truly hopeless. The reasoning was so simple, how could she still not understand? No matter how powerful Yue Qingying was, she was only one person. How many people were there in the Huang family? It was like choosing between a single tree and a forest, and in the forest, there were many other trees that were no less powerful than that single tree. What would Mingyan choose?

With Huang Feiyan and her, can Yue Qingying stand against them? Unless she drags Yue Wuxia into it as well, but Yue Wuxia's aloof and detached demeanor is similar to her sister Huang Junru, how could she possibly be tempted by so-called "mortal desires"?

If you hesitate now and only realize what's happening afterward, it might be too late.

Huang Junyi pondered for a moment and realized that she could not let Huang Feiyan continue like this. She had given her the opportunity to date freely because she originally thought there was still plenty of time. Now it seemed that time was running out and she needed to get Mingyan on the Huang family's side as soon as possible.

Chapter Eighty-Nine: Confession

Mingyan was in his room. Feng Shiyi was already asleep. Mingyan tried to contact his master using the Heart-Connecting Pendant, but it was all in vain. He could not reach his master.

Mingyan sighed inwardly and gave up on contacting his master.

There's a lot to do when I get back. First, I need to go back to Feng Lingyueying to tell my master what I've learned, and then...

Mingyan recalled Ning Zetian's words, his mind becoming slightly heavy. He began to suspect something was amiss, but Ning Feixuan's own observation was undeniable. Mingyan decided to spend some time investigating. If it was indeed Ning Zetian, he wouldn't feel any pressure helping Ning Feixuan; if not...

There must be a culprit and a debtor; we can't just kill people indiscriminately. It's unacceptable for the real murderer to go unpunished while others die unjustly.

As for what to do with Feng Shiyi, Mingyan didn't have a good solution either, so he could only keep her by his side for the time being.

Mingyan rubbed his temples, sighed softly, and was about to get up when he noticed his senior sister pushing the door open and entering.

Yue Qingying wore a light blue long dress with a corset around her waist, which showed off her slender waist. She was never lacking in looks and figure. Her charm was amazing. Before, she was just her senior sister. But now, after so many things have happened, looking back, she can't ignore her amazing charm.

Mingyan felt a ripple in his heart, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled, "What brings you here, Senior Sister?"

"I came to check on you," Yue Qingying said with a smile. "I also wanted to have a chat with my junior brother."

After saying that, Yue Qingying walked gracefully to Ming Yan and sat down next to him.

The faint fragrance quickly enveloped Mingyan. Mingyan thought of the complicated relationship between his senior sister and himself, and he didn't know what to feel. However, he didn't show it on his face. "Senior sister left Feng Lingyueying. Does Master know?"

"Of course I know." Yue Qingying chuckled. "I've almost finished dealing with Feng Lingyueying's matter, and that's why I asked my master to let me leave."

Judging from this, Senior Sister must have set off before Master arrived, but she was not as fast as Master, so she arrived here much later.

Mingyan opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say, his eyes wandering.

He used to be completely trusting of his senior, sharing everything with her. He confided all his secrets to her. But now, knowing that she had lied to him about that matter...

It's not that I don't trust my senior sister at all. In matters of great importance, I can still trust her, and even entrust my life to her. But when it comes to issues related to relationships between men and women, can I really trust her?

My senior sister knows exactly what she's thinking, yet she still does it. Why is that?

What my sister told me doesn't seem to be true either. It's not like you can do these things just because you're close to someone... Did my senior sister lie to me about this?

Yue Qingying seemed to sense that Mingyan was preoccupied, so she reached out and took his hand. Just as she was about to speak, Mingyan unexpectedly pulled away. Yue Qingying was stunned for a moment and looked at Mingyan's face, but he did not look at her directly. Yue Qingying could only see his profile, on which his expression was complicated.

"Junior brother? What's wrong with you?" Yue Qingying didn't continue to hold Mingyan's hand when she saw this, but asked softly.

Mingyan finally turned to look at Yue Qingying, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Senior Sister, I'm a little tired..."
