One of my fairy-like friends

The Peach Banquet at Yaochi is still three months away, and nothing major is expected to happen during this time.

Mingyan and Yue Qingying haven't left the cabin for the past month, or rather, they haven't gotten out of bed.

Mingyan believed that he was the person in the world who understood his senior sister the most. Although he might still be unable to fathom her thoughts, he had a complete and thorough understanding of her body.

This also means that Yue Qingying has a very good understanding of Ming Yan.

For the past month, the two of them have been cultivating, so their cultivation has progressed rapidly. However, this is of little use to Ming Yan, who needs to create a real life in his Qi Sea to break through. Meanwhile, Yue Qingying's cultivation has reached the peak of the initial stage of the Divine Realm and is close to breaking through.

Although the improvement wasn't particularly high each time, the effect didn't diminish with repeated use, and the improvement became quite noticeable.

This made them both quite content, and they even considered cultivating in the wooden hut until they went to Yaochi for the Peach Banquet...

However, Yue Wuxia's telepathic message forced the two to abandon this idea.

Because Yue Wuxia told Mingyan and Yue Qingying that Huang Junru had personally come to the Fengling Yueying Holy Land.

Huang Feiyan did not come with her, a signal that made Yue Wuxia vaguely feel that something was wrong.

Upon hearing Yue Wuxia's telepathic message, Mingyan couldn't help but have several thoughts running through his mind...

Why didn't Fei Yan come? Did the Huang family decide to cancel the engagement?

If that's the case, he'll have a real headache, because he's already decided not to give up on non-smoking products, and now canceling... what a joke?

Yue Qingying didn't cling to Ming Yan, but instead sent him to handle Huang Junru's matter.

Huang Junru quickly arrived at the immortal island and expressed her desire to speak with Mingyan alone.

Mingyan led her to his room. Senior Sister Yue Qingying had already returned to her room, leaving only Mingyan and Huang Junru in the room.

After using some methods to ensure that their conversation would not be overheard by others, Huang Junru said seriously, "The Huang family has reached a conclusion. We will maintain our previous decision, but regarding the choice of spouse... in addition to Fei Yan, we also hope that you will marry another person."

"...Huh?" Mingyan didn't quite understand. His expression was strange. "Could you...repeat what you just said? I think I...misheard?"

"Besides Fei Yan, we also plan to have you marry another woman from the Huang family." Huang Junru's expression was cold, but Ming Yan knew that her attitude was relatively mild.

Even after listening to it again, Mingyan still found it unbelievable. "Why would they do that?"

“Because Feiyan is a phoenix, she currently has no memories of being a phoenix. But if she were to recall those things from her past life, whether she would still be with you is anyone’s guess…” Huang Jun Rupo explained patiently.

Mingyan immediately understood. This was a contingency plan. If Phoenix didn't accept his feelings for Mingyan, at least there were other people in the Phoenix family who could ensure that Mingyan would still be the Phoenix family's son-in-law, and that he would still be a member of the Phoenix family...

Hearing her say that, Mingyan felt a little gloomy.

Phoenix is ​​an existence of the highest order, having lived two lifetimes totaling 20,000 years, while Fei Yan has only lived for eighteen years. Compared to her 20,000 years of memories, the memories and relationships of those eighteen years are but a drop in the ocean. Whether she would even care about these memories is uncertain...

If she doesn't care, then her feelings for him are naturally insignificant in her eyes...

If that's the case, what about non-smoking? Will non-smoking... simply disappear?

Thinking of this, Mingyan felt a lump in his throat. "If...if Phoenix's memories awaken, then Feiyan...can she still be considered Feiyan?"

"..." When Huang Junru heard Ming Yan ask this, a different expression appeared on her usually cold face for the first time. She sighed softly and reached out to touch Ming Yan's head. "I don't know either... I'm not even sure if she will acknowledge me as her mother. It is said that the Phoenix Ancestor was extremely proud... That's why we have to make two preparations."

There are too many uncertainties for the Huang family. First, it's uncertain when Huang Feiyan will regain her memories. Second, when will Phoenix regain its strength? And will it be able to revive the Phoenix Blood Pool?

The Huang family is a continuation of the Phoenix clan, but perhaps it's just a setup by the Phoenix to watch her rebirth. After her revival, whether she'll be willing to resolve the Phoenix Blood Pool issue is unknown, and even if she is, it's unclear whether she can resolve it.

The Phoenix Blood Pool is formed from the essence and blood of the phoenix after it transforms into the Dao. Now, this essence and blood should all be in Huang Feiyan's body. The phoenix's rebirth does not necessarily mean that she can return to her former supreme level. Don't forget, there is still an empress in the world now.

The only thing the Huang family can be certain of right now is that Mingyan can help them, and that a marriage alliance between them is possible...

Chapter 113 Another Person from the Huang Family

Mingyan remained silent for a while before raising his head to look at Huang Junru, "Auntie, do you hope that Phoenix herself will awaken, or do you hope that Feiyan will remain Feiyan?"

Huang Junru lowered her hand and let out a long sigh. "As a mother, I naturally hope that Feiyan will remain Feiyan. But on the other hand, as the head of the Huang family, if the Phoenix Ancestor really revives, we will be more confident in facing the impending dark turmoil."

Being a mother and being the head of the household are two different perspectives, so naturally, the things one thinks about are different.

If there were a way to have the best of both worlds, there would be no need to worry.

Mingyan knew that Huang Junru must be even more heartbroken than he was, because that was her daughter. Although the Huang family's way of procreation was more like that of sisters, in her heart, that was her daughter.

There is no answer to this question, and I'm sure even Huang Junru couldn't give an answer.

But Mingyan has his own answer, and that's enough.

He said, "Auntie, you don't need to do this. Whether Fei Yan acknowledges this relationship or not, I am still a member of the Huang family."

"I know your feelings, but it's not enough for you to simply express them," Huang Junru's tone softened. "This is about making the entire Huang family consider you a member of the Huang family. Therefore, you need to marry another person from the Huang family. Of course, you don't need to truly fall in love with her..."

Huang Junru knew this was a difficult situation. Mingyan clearly liked Huang Feiyan, but due to a series of unforeseen events, things had turned out this way.

Mingyan frowned, "How can that be? We can't let the Huang family suffer..."

“This is hardly a grievance…” Huang Junru’s expression was somewhat subtle.

"Can I ask about another candidate? It wouldn't be... Second Aunt, would it?" Mingyan suddenly felt a little strange. If there was anyone in the Huang family with whom he had an ambiguous relationship, it seemed to be only Fairy Sister. Fairy Sister seemed to be the best candidate.

"..." Huang Junru was silent for a moment, then gently shook her head, "Junyi is, after all, Feiyan's elder. It wouldn't be good if word got out that she married you at the same time as Feiyan. She is a different person, and can be considered a member of the younger generation of the Huang family, and is of the same generation as Feiyan."

Not the Fairy Sister? Mingyan was somewhat surprised, but after hearing Huang Junru's reason, he understood the Huang family's predicament.

The Huang family has never married off a daughter before. Now, for the first time, they are setting a precedent. If two generations marry the same man, it will inevitably cause gossip. In the world of cultivation, seniority is very important. It doesn't matter if sisters marry the same man, but if they cross the generation line, they will be gossiped about.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if someone is of the same generation as you marry your cousin or sisters. But if it's someone from your elders, or as Huang Junru just said, it's very problematic if Huang Feiyan and Huang Junyi, who are from two different generations, are married together.

In addition, the relationship between a master and disciple is something that needs to be especially avoided in this world, in order to prevent some people from being disrespectful to their elders and having ulterior motives towards their young and beautiful disciples. Therefore, the general public is opposed to master-disciple relationships.

However, under normal circumstances, if such a thing really happened, it would most likely not be exposed. As long as others don't know, then you can do whatever you want.

"Have I seen her before?" Mingyan frowned.

"I have met her," Huang Junru said calmly. "Of course, although I have met her, you probably don't know her. She is the daughter of an elder of the Huang family, named Huang Nishang."

“…” Mingyan shook his head, “How can this be…”

“If you really want to help the Huang family, then don’t object. You don’t need to fall in love with her; just becoming husband and wife in name is enough,” Huang Junru said. “You don’t need to feel any guilt. Before coming here, I had already persuaded Feiyan.”

"Huh? Fei Yan accepted it too?" Ming Yan was a little confused. "Could it be... that Auntie explained the situation to her?"

"If you're referring to Phoenix, then we haven't told her yet. I only explained to her that we've encountered certain circumstances, so we need to nominally marry someone else to you, but this person won't have any feelings for you, and it doesn't even need to be public, so she reluctantly accepted," Huang Junru said calmly.

"..." Fei Yan is really easy to deal with. With this kind of personality, she will really suffer. Ming Yan sighed. However, since things have come to this point, Ming Yan has nothing to object to. It's just that the nominal Daoist partners within the Huang family will marry him together, but in reality, they don't need to have any feelings for each other.

Compared to this matter, Mingyan was more concerned about the Phoenix.

It's hateful that his cultivation level is too low to stop all of this. If he were a fully grown adult with a kingly body, would he need to consider so many things?

“If you have nothing to do at Fenglingyueying, I’d like to take you back to the Huang family with me. Don’t tell Feiyan about it for now. Also, I’d like you to meet Huang Nishang,” Huang Junru said.

Mingyan was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Alright..."

Seeing that Mingyan had agreed, Huangjunru no longer hesitated and explained the situation to Yue Wuxia. Mingyan then greeted his senior sister.

Yue Qingying did not stop Mingyan from leaving. She understood that it was better to guide than to block. She didn't even have the idea of ​​going with him. She just smiled and said that Mingyan could handle it himself and that he didn't need to worry about her.

Mingyan was deeply moved, feeling that he was truly blessed to have met such a wonderful senior sister.

After bidding farewell to his senior sister and master, Mingyan set off with Huang Junru for the Huang family.

After Mingyan left, Yue Wuxia asked, "Aren't you going with him?"

"No need. If I go with him, I'll only get in the way." Yue Qingying shook her head and smiled, "Let him handle it himself."

Aren't you afraid your junior brother will change his mind?

"If I can't make my junior brother change his mind, neither can Huang Feiyan." Yue Qingying shook her head. Right now, she only needs to perform well, and victory is on its way. There's no need for any extra maneuvers, as doing so would only put her position in danger.

“Master, there’s no need to worry about my relationship with my junior brother. I know what I’m doing,” Yue Qingying replied.

Yue Wuxia closed her eyes and after a while replied, "I hope you really have a plan."

————————————————————————

On the way, Mingyan kept thinking about non-smoke and Phoenix.

Previously, when Huang Jun said that the Phoenix Ancestor was extremely proud, it was essentially saying that the Phoenix herself was arrogant. If she truly awakens her memories, then everything might be beyond repair...

If... if either Phoenix's own consciousness cannot awaken, or Fei Yan disappears, then he will definitely not let Fei Yan disappear...

No matter what method is used, he will not sit idly by.

Chapter 114 Phoenix Robe

Upon arriving at the Huang family, Huang Junru originally intended to only take Mingyan to see Huang Nishang, but Mingyan politely declined. He had no interest in seeing his nominal fiancée at the moment; he wanted to see Huang Feiyan first.

Upon hearing this, Huang Junru did not object, but asked Mingyan not to tell Huang Feiyan about the phoenix for the time being, as this matter might have a heavy impact on Huang Feiyan's mentality.

After that, Huang Junru escorted Mingyan to Huang Feiyan's door and then quickly left.

Mingyan stood in front of Huang Feiyan's door, sorted out his thoughts, and raised his hand to knock, but the door suddenly opened and Huang Feiyan appeared in the doorway. She reached out and pulled Mingyan into the room.

Did you know I was coming?

"Of course, I've been waiting for you for a long time. You've been back in Fenglingyueying for so long and haven't come over..." Huang Feiyan's tone was a little resentful. After all, there was Yue Qingying, a senior sister in Fenglingyueying, who had ulterior motives towards Mingyan. The longer Mingyan stayed in Fenglingyueying, the greater the risk of being devoured.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, Mingyan was a disciple of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land, a Holy Son, and a disciple of the Moon Shadow Holy Lord. He couldn't possibly leave the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land to come to the Phoenix Family.

Huang Feiyan felt that the thing she regretted most in her life was having the idea of ​​sending Mingyan to Fenglingyueying.

If Mingyan had been left in the Huang family back then, there wouldn't be so many entanglements now, and Qingying and Mingyan wouldn't have the relationship they have now.

It's a pity, but it's too late for regrets. Mingyan was personally sent to Fengling Yueying by the Huang family, and then Fengling Yueying valued him so much that Qingying also fell in love with Mingyan. Every time Huang Feiyan thinks of this, she wants to slap her past self.

Well... he really was having such a good time that he forgot all about home. Mingyan felt that in the past month, no life had been born in his Qi Sea, but his senior sister's belly was probably about to give birth.

However, this must not be said to Fei Yan, otherwise Fei Yan might explode on the spot, and she wouldn't even need to wait for the Phoenix incident, she would explode right now.

“That is my sacred place, and my home,” Mingyan said.

“This is your home too.” Upon hearing this, Huang Feiyan paused, turned around to look at Ming Yan, and pouted.

Mingyan smiled and said, "I know."

"You don't seem to know... Mother must have told you about that, right? For some reason, at the same time I marry you, someone else will marry you." Speaking of this, Huang Feiyan's tone was slightly resentful. "I don't even know what the reason is, really..."

"Yes, I know. Auntie told me about it, I think her name is..." Mingyan remembered Huang Nishang's name, but he pretended not to remember it clearly. Huang Feiyan smiled when she saw this. She knew that Mingyan definitely didn't care much about that person. "I don't know either. Mother told me about Second Aunt before, but I strongly objected!"

So the Huang family really considered Fairy Sister? Mingyan was surprised. Wasn't it agreed that they wouldn't make any plans because of seniority?

Now it seems that this was something that non-tobacco companies fought for?
