One of my fairy-like friends

Well... to be honest, if the fairy sister really became his wife in name... wouldn't she become even more unrestrained with that title?

However, Mingyan was still somewhat surprised to hear that Huang Feiyan was also unaware. "Didn't your aunt tell you about her identity beforehand?"

"They didn't say anything specific because when they told me, there weren't any concrete arrangements yet. I only know that she's my peer... Hmm, I'm also planning to meet her and chat with her while I'm at it," Huang Feiyan said with a smile.

Prepare her mentally beforehand, lest she really become attached to Mingyan. That won't do. Although the Huang family members love each other, men cannot be shared!

"...Hmm...I remember now, it seems...it seems her name is Huang...Ni Chang?" Ming Yan's eyes darted around, his expression one of trying hard to recall. Ming Yan naturally wanted Huang Feiyan to think he didn't care much about Huang Ni Chang, but because his memory was so good, even if he didn't care, he remembered the name very clearly...

"Huang Nishang..." Seeing Ming Yan struggling to recall, Huang Feiyan's smile deepened. However, mentioning this name made Huang Feiyan ponder for a moment, and she said with some surprise, "I don't think I know her?"

“It’s normal that you don’t recognize the Huang family, which has so many members.” Ming Yan shrugged. The exact number of members in the Huang family is unknown, but it is definitely no less than that of ordinary holy land families. These holy land families have a large number of members, mostly over 100,000. Only some holy lands have relatively fewer disciples because their recruitment standards are too high, such as the Fenglingyueying Holy Land.

However, the Huang family does not rely on recruitment. It has been passing down its traditions internally, and its population has only increased compared to the past. The total number of people may exceed 100,000, and there should be tens of thousands of Huang family women who cultivate immortality within the clan alone.

"That's true, I thought I would choose someone who is well-known within the Huang family, but it seems to be slightly different from what I imagined. Huang Nishang, that's a nice name..." Huang Feiyan nodded upon hearing this. Even cultivators couldn't possibly remember so many names.

Moreover, there are too many people in the Huang family, and some names are repeated. Even if she recognizes the name, she may not recognize the person.

"Shall we go see her together later?" Mingyan said.

"Hmm...Hmm? No, no, you can go see her yourself." Huang Feiyan said quite generously.

Mingyan looked at Huang Feiyan with a strange expression, somewhat surprised. Had Feiyan changed? She actually asked him to go see that woman alone...? Wasn't Feiyan the most prone to jealousy?

Huang Feiyan was indeed prone to jealousy, but she had other ideas. She wanted to make an agreement with the other party to prevent Mingyan from actually having anything happen with that woman.

But she definitely couldn't say those things to Mingyan's face, otherwise Mingyan might think that she didn't trust him. Huang Feiyan thought that her move was very clever, as it would make Mingyan feel that he trusted and had confidence in her!

"Really?" Mingyan asked tentatively.

"Hmm... Go quickly! Come back to me later!" The more Huang Feiyan thought about it, the more impressive she felt. She had killed two birds with one stone with this move, and her expression couldn't help but show a little smugness.

Mingyan noticed the hint of smugness on her face... or rather, Feiyan's expression was so obvious that he noticed it at a glance.

In this way, Mingyan understood some of Huang Feiyan's meaning. She probably wanted to express her trust in him in this way. Mingyan felt helpless and amused, but also a little touched.

"We've only just met, and you're already telling me to go find other women? What kind of logic is that?"

"Then...give me a kiss before you go!" Upon hearing this, Huang Feiyan immediately looked at Ming Yan, but her pretty face quickly turned red, and she lowered her head shyly.

Despite being incredibly shy, Fei Yan is surprisingly proactive with her words; this side of her is quite adorable...

Mingyan lowered his head, smiled, and kissed Huang Feiyan on the lips. "Then I'll go first?"

"Go ahead, go ahead..." Huang Feiyan stood with her hands behind her back, a sweet and shy smile on her fair face, looking completely satisfied.

Huang Feiyan has peach blossom eyes, and when she smiles, they look like two crescent moons... or perhaps that's not quite right. Mingyan thinks Feiyan's eyes are like the night sky, as if stars are twinkling within them...

I will not allow the phoenix to erase you.

Mingyan turned his head and decided to go to Yaochi later to ask his sister if she had any ideas. If his sister couldn't do it, he would ask the Empress. If neither of them could, he would have to find a solution himself.

There's always a solution. If you can't solve the problem, then deal with the person who caused it.

After Mingyan left Huang Feiyan's residence, he hadn't walked far when he encountered Huang Qingfei.

Mingyan was about to perform the ceremony, but stopped halfway through.

Huang Qingfei smiled and shook her head. "You, you should just relax and treat me like your aunt. You still can't shake your old habits."

Mingyan pursed his lips. "Did Auntie come to see me?"

"Well, it's time to take you to meet Huang Nishang. Hmm... She's rather aloof, but she voluntarily offered to marry you, though only in name." Huang Qingfei said with her hands behind her back, her smile gentle. "So actually, she doesn't want to get too close to you and wants to keep a certain distance."

Mingyan nodded. "Auntie, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Seeing that Mingyan understood, Huang Qingfei's gaze softened, "It's a bit unfair to make you accept these things. Don't you think I don't trust you?"

“How could that be?” Mingyan shook his head. “I know about the special circumstances of the Huang family, and I also know about their difficulties.”

"...Hehe, if you had been born a few hundred years earlier, that wouldn't be bad either." Huang Qingfei paused for a moment upon hearing this, then chuckled. Before Mingyan could understand the meaning of her words, Huang Qingfei led Mingyan away.

The Phoenix Clan has many small teleportation arrays. Through these arrays, Mingyan quickly arrived at a place he had never been before.

The inner courtyard of the Phoenix Clan is too large; the outer courtyard is probably less than one percent the size of the inner courtyard. It's normal that he hasn't been here before.

Huang Qingfei led Mingyan to a courtyard and then left first.

Mingyan stood in the courtyard and saw a woman sitting in the pavilion in the distance. Her figure was blurry and indistinct.

I can't tell her cultivation level; it seems she's someone from the Huang family who doesn't cultivate immortality.

In fact, it was precisely these women within the Huang family who did not cultivate immortality who were most eager to solve the problem of the Phoenix Blood Pool, so Ming Yan was not surprised at all.

It seems that the Huang family doesn't want her to know too much about her, and has even set up some barriers to obscure her vision.

"Miss Huang Nishang?" Ming Yan called out from afar without getting close.

"Young Master Ming... I presume you already know the family's arrangements, so I will say no more..." Huang Ni Chang's voice rang out, gentle as water, truly unlike a woman from the Huang family.

"Hmm... I'm sorry to have troubled Miss Huang Nishang," Ming Yan said with a hint of apology.

“I should be the one saying this…” Huang Nishang’s voice was extremely gentle. “It should be our Huang family that has caused trouble for Young Master Ming… Young Master Ming clearly likes Miss Feiyan… but he has no choice but to marry a stranger like me. Please accept my gratitude, Young Master Ming.”

She was even gentler than Huang Qingfei, the gentlest member of the Huang family Mingyan had ever known... This surprised Mingyan.

Chapter 115 Taking Fei Yan to See Her Sister

A soft, gentle voice, like a flowing stream, and a tender, graceful way of speaking can reveal a lot about a person.

“The Huang family also has its own difficulties, which I understand. Besides, we are only husband and wife in name only,” Mingyan said with a smile.

Huang Ni Chang remained silent for a moment before softly saying, "I hope Young Master Ming won't hold a grudge because of this..."

“Of course not.” Mingyan shook his head.

“Then…that’s good.” Huang Nishang nodded gently. “Please ask Young Master Ming to explain to Miss Feiyan for me, so as to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.”

"Please rest assured, Miss Huang Nishang, Feiyan is very understanding." Upon hearing this, Mingyan spoke up for his fiancée.

"...That's good then." Huang Nishang seemed silent for a moment before saying, "I can feel Young Master Ming's respect for me. It seems that Young Master Ming doesn't look down on those without cultivation at all..."

Ming Yan was somewhat surprised to hear this. He smiled and said, "When the Huang family brought me back, they never looked down on me because of my cultivation level. They treated me with the utmost respect. I remember all the kindness the royal family showed me. I am definitely not an ungrateful person."

Huang Nishang smiled gently, and Ming Yan gave a slight bow. "Then, Miss Huang Nishang, I will not disturb you any longer. I will take my leave now."

"Hmm..." Huang Nishang responded softly, "I hope everything goes well for you and Miss Feiyan, and that there will never be a day when you need to use that fake relationship between us."

"Thank you for your kind words." Mingyan smiled and nodded. He had a very good impression of Huang Nishang. It seemed that Mingyan did not dislike any of the women in the Huang family. These women in the Huang family each had their own personality, but they all suited his taste.

Having been here once, Mingyan knew how to get around. He didn't need anyone to guide him back. With the help of the teleportation array, Mingyan quickly returned to the area where Huang Feiyan was. Just as he was about to go find Huang Feiyan, he encountered Huang Junyi.

She was dressed in a red palace gown, carrying a wine gourd in her hand, her long hair casually tied up. She naturally noticed Mingyan, so she raised her hand and shook the gourd at him with a smile, "Isn't this Mingyan? Why don't you have a drink with your sister?"

"I can't hold my liquor, sister." Mingyan remembered that the Huang family had actually considered the suggestion that his fairy sister marry him as well, and he couldn't help but feel a little awkward, even a little afraid to look Huang Junyi in the eye.

"Wouldn't that be even better?" Huang Junyi said with a grin, "It's easier to get things done when you're drunk."

"Hmm?" Mingyan became alert. "What's easy to do? What are you talking about, sister?"

"Huh? Didn't I say it's good to be drunk? What makes things easier?" Huang Junyi was a little confused, but Ming Yan didn't think he had misheard. He was confident in his memory. Perhaps the fairy sister had let something slip?

No, with her cultivation level, how could she possibly let something slip like that? She must have done it on purpose.

Mingyan sighed helplessly, "Sister, you're not joking with me, are you..."

Huang Junyi smiled brightly, "Have you met Huang Nishang?"

"Yes, I've met him." Mingyan nodded. "He's a nice person."

"So, what about her...?" Huang Junyi blinked and asked curiously, "Do you have any feelings for her?"

"What do you mean by 'good feelings'? I think Miss Huang Nishang is a pretty nice person. If you mean the kind of attraction between men and women..." At this point, Mingyan shook his head, "Sister, you're overthinking it."

"I see..." Huang Junyi stroked her chin, then chuckled, "I didn't expect our little brother to be so devoted."

I'm not exactly devoted... Hearing her say that, Mingyan coughed twice in his heart. Then he saw Huang Junyi approach, put her arm around his neck, and said with a smile, "Come on, let's go have a drink with your sister."

Mingyan shook his head. "Sister, I can't drink with you. I have to go find Feiyan."

"Hmm...that's true, Fei Yan really needs some time to be with her right now." Huang Junyi sighed softly upon hearing this. "Ming Yan, do you...think we should let Phoenix awaken?"

“If it doesn’t affect non-smoking, then it’s perfectly fine. But if it does affect non-smoking…” Mingyan took a deep breath. “I won’t allow that to happen.”

"Hehe..." Huang Junyi patted Mingyan's shoulder and laughed, "You can do things that none of us can. On one hand, Feiyan is my niece, and on the other hand, Phoenix is ​​the ancestor of our entire Huang family..."

Mingyan knew that the Huang family was in a very difficult position, including Huang Junru, who was torn between her own daughter and the Huang family's ancestor...

“I understand.” Mingyan nodded.

Huang Junyi smiled and said, "It would be great if everything went smoothly."

Mingyan nodded, and Huang Junyi didn't say anything more. She picked up her wine gourd and walked forward, her voice carrying, "Go do what you want to do. We're in a difficult position, but we won't stop you, nor do we want to. Mingyan..."

The fairy sister actually supports her own ideas; in order to keep Fei Yan, she's even willing to prevent the phoenix from waking up...

But she could never say those words aloud, because she had phoenix blood flowing through her veins; she was a descendant of the phoenix...

Mingyan shook his head and returned to Huang Feiyan's room.

Huang Feiyan's room was simply decorated. Cultivators generally don't crave luxury, and Huang Feiyan was no exception.

She seemed to know Ming Yan had arrived, and was looking at him with a smile, "How was it?"

"What do you mean, how about it?" Mingyan walked into the room and asked with a smile.

"That Huang Nishang? What kind of person do you think she is?" Huang Feiyan walked up to Ming Yan, wrinkled her nose, and sniffed Ming Yan's scent. Hmm? Why does she smell like her second aunt?

"He's a nice person, very gentle," Mingyan said.

"Gentle..." Huang Feiyan blinked, put her hands behind her back, and walked around Mingyan once. "Did you just run into your second aunt?"

"Hmm? I ran into my sister on my way back. She dragged me out for drinks." Mingyan nodded. He must have smelled the fairy sister's fragrance... Feiyan was very sensitive to these kinds of things.

"I see... um..." Huang Feiyan stopped, rested her chin on her hand, thought for a moment, and then asked, "When you went back this time, did your senior sister say anything?"

"For example?" Mingyan tilted his head and asked in return.

"Um... well... for example... cough cough... nothing..." Ming Yan's "for example" stumped Huang Feiyan. She didn't know if Ming Yan knew that Yue Qingying liked him. If he didn't know, she didn't want to bring it up for Yue Qingying. After all, if she didn't bring it up, Ming Yan wouldn't have to make a choice.

Moreover, judging from Mingyan's behavior, Yue Qingying probably didn't explicitly say so. Thinking of this, Huang Feiyan couldn't help but laugh. What? Saying it's important, but lacking even the courage to say it outright? What kind of nonsense is that? Hilarious!

"Hmm?" Mingyan raised an eyebrow. "So, do you want my senior sister to tell me something?"

"No, no! Cough cough... that..." Huang Feiyan tried to change the subject. Her eyes darted around, but she couldn't seem to find a suitable reason. She was getting anxious, so she looked at Mingyan's lips and her face flushed. She still stood on tiptoe and kissed Mingyan's lips.
