One of my fairy-like friends

"Because..." Huang Feiyan's face flushed slightly, unsure how to begin...

You can't just say my second aunt is a vixen, can you? That would be a bit inconsiderate of age... But this could be considered my second aunt's disrespect for her elders first...

"Hmm?" Huang Qingfei tilted her head. "Why?"

"Ahem... Second Aunt is sometimes... rather ambiguous with Mingyan, and I'm worried that Mingyan might misunderstand..." Huang Feiyan still gave Huang Junyi some face and didn't directly call her a vixen.

"I see." Huang Qingfei smiled slightly. "You're overthinking it. If you're worried, I'll keep an eye on things for you."

Huang Feiyan was grateful upon hearing this, "Thank you so much, Auntie..."

"No need to thank me. Go ask your mother if she's with her," Huang Qingfei said casually.

Huang Feiyan nodded and turned to leave.

Huang Qingfei watched Huang Feiyan's departing figure and sighed softly. Deceiving Huang Feiyan was not her intention, but this matter could not be seen by Feiyan. Otherwise, if Feiyan pushed open the door and saw Mingyan and her second sister feeding each other wine mouth to mouth, wouldn't that cause an uproar?

Huang Qingfei didn't believe Huang Feiyan should make some sacrifices for the Huang family. She knew that Huang Feiyan trusted her a lot. If she had said those words, Feiyan's trust in her would probably have diminished. It was Feiyan's mother who was more suitable to persuade Huang Feiyan.

Chapter 125 This is not smoke

Not long after, Huang Feiyan found Huang Junru and inquired about Mingyan's whereabouts.

Huang Junru naturally knew Mingyan's whereabouts. She had been observing Mingyan and was well aware that he was currently playing a kissing game with her second sister.

Huang Junru naturally knew about and supported the relationship between Huang Junyi and Mingyan.

In fact, although she had never mentioned it to anyone, Huang Junru was the first person to know about Mingyan's human king body. She had always tacitly approved of Huang Junyi and Mingyan's closeness. Of course, at that time she never thought that the Huang family would be so entangled with Mingyan.

As those events unfolded, the entanglement between the Huang family and Mingyan deepened, and Huang Feiyan's relationship with Mingyan became increasingly intimate.

If Huang Junru had been allowed to decide earlier whether to keep Mingyan in the Huang family or tie Mingyan to the Huang family, then the one who would be marrying Mingyan now would probably not be Huang Feiyan, but Huang Junyi.

Huang Junru tacitly approved of Huang Qingfei's conversation with Mingyan, as she had known about Huang Junyi's feelings for Mingyan for a long time. Although Huang Feiyan was ultimately chosen in the subsequent family discussions, this was unfair to Huang Junru. Later, as the second choice was not to choose an elder, Huang Nishang was chosen...

Therefore, Huang Junru would tacitly allow Mingyan and Huang Junyi to have some overly intimate things happen between them.

Huang Junru said, "I called Mingyan over earlier and talked to him about some things. He should be back in the ancient book archive now. What do you need him for?"

"It's nothing... I was just asking..." Huang Feiyan had already breathed a sigh of relief when she learned from Huang Qingfei that it wasn't Huang Junyi who had called Mingyan away. "What did Mother and Mingyan talk about?"

"Regarding your engagement," Huang Junru said coldly, but Huang Feiyan was already used to it; she knew what kind of person her mother was.

"...So the engagement is settled?" Huang Feiyan asked softly.

"It's basically settled, but we haven't decided on a specific time to announce it," Huang Junru said calmly.

Huang Feiyan bit her cherry lips. She hoped it would be as soon as possible. Once the relationship was made public, Qingying would lose the right to compete with her. At that time, Qingying would no longer be her rival in love, and the two could resume their previous relationship.

However, Mingyan believed that there was no need to rush. Huang Feiyan was not sure of his reasons for not rushing, but she guessed that Qingying was interfering. Huang Feiyan did not want to force Mingyan, but if her mother made Mingyan accept it, that would be a different story.

So when he heard that his mother hadn't discussed the timing of the announcement with Mingyan, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"Well... Mother, I'll be going now..." Huang Feiyan was relieved to know Mingyan wasn't with Huang Junyi. Now that Mingyan had gone to the ancient book archive, Huang Feiyan wanted to do some things herself...

For example, to meet Huang Ni Chang...

Huang Junru nodded gently, and Huang Feiyan turned to leave. But after thinking for a moment, she turned back and asked, "Mother, where does Huang Nishang live? I want to see her."

Huang Junru glanced over and said, "Why do you suddenly want to see her?"

“After all, she’ll be marrying Mingyan like me in the future, so… I want to talk to her,” Huang Feiyan said softly.

"She lives in..." Huang Junru didn't ask too many questions, just gave her an address, and Huang Feiyan left after receiving the address.

Huang Ni Chang lives in the eastern part of the Huang family's inner courtyard. This area is mainly inhabited by members of the Huang family who do not cultivate immortality. It seems that Huang Ni Chang herself is not a cultivator.

Not being a cultivator means her lifespan won't be very long. Even though she has phoenix blood flowing through her veins, she'll only live twenty or thirty years longer than a normal person.

To be honest, given this situation, Huang Feiyan wasn't too worried about Mingyan and her becoming a real couple in name only, but she still wanted to be on the safe side.

When Huang Feiyan arrived at the courtyard where Huang Nishang lived, she saw Huang Nishang watering the flowers in the courtyard.

Huang Feiyan hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward. Huang Nishang seemed to hear the footsteps and looked at Huang Feiyan with some surprise in her eyes.

This face... is so unfamiliar. Huang Feiyan felt she had never seen it before.

"Miss Fei Yan? You... came to see me?"

Upon hearing the title "Young Miss," Huang Feiyan snapped out of her reverie and smiled slightly. "No need to be so polite. We're both from the Huang family. You must be a bit older than me. May I call you Sister Ni Chang?"

"If Miss doesn't mind, of course." Huang Nishang nodded gently, her smile warm and inviting.

Her temperament was indeed similar to her aunt's. Huang Feiyan had a good impression of people with this kind of personality. She smiled and said, "You don't have to call me Miss. You can just call me by my name, Feiyan."

Huang Nishang smiled and nodded, but did not call out to Fei Yan.

"Am I bothering you?" Huang Feiyan walked up to Huang Nishang and asked.

"No, but I suppose... Fei Yan came to see me for something, right?" Huang Ni Chang put down the watering can in her hand and gestured for Huang Fei Yan to sit down and chat. After the two sat down, Huang Fei Yan hesitated for a moment before saying, "I just wanted to see you. After all, you and I... will both marry Ming Yan in the future."

"I'm only marrying Young Master Ming in name only," Huang Nishang said with a light laugh. "You don't need to worry, I won't have any entanglements with Ming Yan."

Seeing that her intentions had been easily seen through, Huang Feiyan blushed slightly, somewhat embarrassed, "It's not that I doubt you..."

"Of course." Huang Nishang smiled gently, her eyes filled with autumn water, making people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

"I'm sorry..." Huang Feiyan took a deep breath, "This kind of thing has already wronged you. I was also worried about some things happening. Please forgive my disrespect."

“There’s no need for that. I understand your thoughts.” Huang Nishang smiled. “Mingyan and I will not meet unless absolutely necessary, so you don’t need to worry. I’m just an ordinary person. In ten, twenty, or thirty years, I will be old and faded. Mingyan will probably have long forgotten my existence by then.”

Her tone was calm, but Huang Feiyan felt a little melancholy listening to her. In fact, everyone in the Huang family could cultivate immortality, as they all had phoenix blood flowing through their veins, but many of them simply didn't want to... It was a pity. The Huang family respected everyone's wishes, and unless the Huang family encountered a crisis that required everyone to cultivate immortality, they were always willing to respect the wishes of the Huang family members.

Huang Feiyan changed the subject and chatted with Huang Nishang about everyday matters, no longer mentioning the engagement. The two talked for nearly an hour before Huang Feiyan left.

Huang Nishang stood up, walked to the flowerbed, picked up the watering can, and gently shook her head, "This is not smoke..."

Chapter 126 The Three Sisters of the Huang Family

After that, Huang Feiyan came to the ancient book archive again, and this time, she found Ming Yan.

Mingyan and the fairy sister played many fun games. After hearing Huang Junru's telepathic message, they arrived at the ancient book library.

From his heart, it was wrong to deceive Fei Yan. If it were the Ming Yan of the past, he would probably have hesitated and been conflicted. But the Ming Yan of today has lofty goals. He will make up for Fei Yan's sacrifice now, and the good days are yet to come.

Having found Mingyan, the slight worry deep in Huang Feiyan's heart, which she herself had not even noticed, was completely dispelled. She sat down next to Mingyan without calling out to him, and simply rested her chin on her hands, quietly watching him.

Although Mingyan himself didn't care much, his appearance was extremely outstanding. He and Huang Feiyan were definitely a perfect match. Huang Feiyan sat beside him watching, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her pretty face. She looked a little silly, but very cute.

Ming Yan turned his head to look at Huang Feiyan, finding it somewhat amusing.

I remember when we first met, our social statuses were very different. Mingyan kept calling her "Fairy Sister," and Feiyan seemed more like an older sister. But now, in Mingyan's eyes, she seems more like a simple young girl.

She was only about a year older than Mingyan.

"Did I disturb you?" Seeing that Ming Yan had noticed her presence, Huang Feiyan lowered her hand and asked cautiously.

"No." Ming Yan reached out and took Huang Feiyan's hand, pulling her closer. "Why did you come here?"

"I just want to be with you...that's all..." Huang Feiyan's pretty face flushed slightly. She secretly observed Ming Yan's expression, and his shy appearance revealed the image of a girl in her first love.

"We have a long life ahead of us," Mingyan said with a smile, if only he hadn't died in battle when the Dark Turmoil began...

"Even so, I still want to cherish every minute and every second. I don't know what kind of turmoil the arrival of the Dark Turmoil will cause, so I might as well treat every day as if it were my last..." Huang Feiyan said softly.

Mingyan could understand Huang Feiyan's thoughts. The two had just confirmed their relationship, and it was indeed the closest they had ever been. They couldn't wait to be together every moment. Mingyan squeezed Huang Feiyan's hand, "There's no need to be so pessimistic..."

Huang Feiyan leaned gently on Mingyan's shoulder and closed her eyes. "I'm not pessimistic... I just want to cherish the relationship between us."

all the time.

Mingyan had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Actually, it wouldn't be impossible if it were just Feiyan alone.

However, Fei Yan, Fairy Sister, and Senior Sister were all too good to Ming Yan, so good that he was unwilling to give them up and succumbed to his greed, wanting to have them all.

If one or two of them weren't so good, perhaps Mingyan wouldn't have been able to make up his mind to have them all?

Now, there's no escaping it.

"What are your plans for the future?" Huang Feiyan asked.

"Right now, I should focus on cultivating as quickly as possible and break through to the Divine Realm as soon as possible." Mingyan's goal is the Human Realm, and he is still far from that realm.

"Although you are only at the Qi Sea level now, if we were to fight, you probably wouldn't be weaker than me at all, right?" Huang Feiyan is at the initial stage of the Divine Palace. She is much stronger than ordinary Divine Palace cultivators. After all, she is the reincarnation of a phoenix. Although the phoenix has not yet awakened, she still has powerful phoenix blood in her body.

However, the Human King Physique is an exception to the rules. This physique is mysterious and powerful. Apart from the fact that there is no precedent for it to become an emperor, this physique can be said to be the strongest physique in the world. Moreover, don't forget that the Human King Physique was the one that created the current cultivation system.

With Mingyan's current strength, he could probably sweep aside all the younger generation except for Gu Hanshuang and Yu Mudan. Even if he faced Gu Hanshuang and Yu Mudan, he might still have a fighting chance.

Moreover, Mingyan's relationship with these two seems somewhat delicate; they're not exactly enemies, and he doesn't necessarily need to defeat them, right? Although defeating them is only a matter of time.

“But I need to break through to the Human Realm to save my sister,” Mingyan emphasized. “Therefore, I cannot stop my cultivation for even a moment.”

Huang Feiyan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. Of course, she knew that the "sister" here did not refer to her second aunt, but to the Yaochi senior Wang Qingchu, who was at the half-step extreme level. In other words, after Mingyan arrived at Renying, there would be one more half-step extreme level expert in the world. Wouldn't that give them more confidence in the face of the dark turmoil?

What Huang Feiyan didn't know was that she herself was actually a potential half-step extreme Dao. If the phoenix were to awaken, because there was an extreme Dao emperor in the world, even if she were to undergo Nirvana, she would not be able to regain the throne. Therefore, she was also a half-step extreme Dao, and had once reached the pinnacle of the half-step extreme Dao. She was definitely capable of clashing with the emperor-level powerhouses in the outer realms.

After all, historically speaking, emperor-level powerhouses from other regions are generally inferior to great emperors.

However, regarding the Phoenix... Mingyan subconsciously looked at Huang Feiyan and couldn't help but sigh. The best-case scenario was that Feiyan possessed the strength and combat memories of the former Phoenix. The worst-case scenario was that Feiyan became a part of the Phoenix, but an unimportant part, which would be troublesome.

Mingyan cannot allow such strength.

Humans are selfish, and when things really came to this point, Mingyan found it difficult to uphold his sense of righteousness and think about the world.

He turned back to the fact that he had been searching for the opportunity for the birth of a god.

His Qi Sea world had long since completed the conditions for the birth of life, but the birth of the first life was nowhere in sight... Mingyan disliked this feeling of waiting quietly, as it made him feel like he was wasting time.

Seeing that Mingyan was lost in thought, Huang Feiyan naturally did not disturb him. She sat quietly to the side, watching Mingyan. She was not noisy or fussy, and had a smile on her face, slightly shy. What a beautiful young lady.

Unfortunately, Mingyan wasn't in the mood to pay attention to these things right now; he was thinking about the origin of life...

But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find any clues. Mingyan sighed softly and had to give up the idea for the time being.

Without the right opportunity, he probably would never have imagined it in his entire life. Mingyan was a little irritated. He turned to look at Huang Feiyan and saw the beautiful woman beside him looking at him shyly. Mingyan's restless mood quickly calmed down. He smiled and said, "Feiyan, let's go for a walk."

"Um..."

The two left the ancient book library, and not far away, the three sisters of the Huang family—Huang Junru, Huang Junyi, and Huang Qingfei—stood together.

"Why are you backing down now that things are at their most urgent?" Huang Junru's expression was indifferent, but those who knew her well knew that this indifference was just a habit, and everyone was already used to it.

"I'm not backing down, I just think there's no need to rush," Huang Junyi said with a light laugh, her hands behind her back.
