One of my fairy-like friends

"What are you waiting for? Why don't you improve your strength as soon as possible?" Huang Junru frowned.

"I guess Second Sister wants to savor the time she spends being intimate with her little man, thinking that she can break through to the next level after she's had her fill of fun," Huang Qingfei said with a light laugh.

These words made Huang Junru frown even deeper. "Huang Junyi, don't forget, Feiyan doesn't know about this yet. Now is the best time. If Feiyan finds out, then you can't do this anymore..."

"No rush, right, Second Sister?" Huang Qingfei smiled. "Anyway, Second Sister isn't doing this to increase her strength."

These words made Huang Junyi glance at her. In Huang Feiyan and Mingyan's eyes, her aunt was dignified and beautiful, but in reality, she was a bit cunning. As her second sister, Huang Junyi knew this very well.

“I know my limits, I won’t have to wait too long,” Huang Junyi said.

"Hmph, you'll have to explain to Feiyan yourself later. If Feiyan can't accept it, just you wait." Huang Junru snorted coldly. She supported Huang Junyi and Mingyan getting together, but in fact, she had made some agreements. If it weren't for these agreements, even if the union of Huang Junyi and Mingyan would bring a lot of benefits to the Huang family, Huang Junru would probably not have accepted it, considering Huang Feiyan.

After all, she's my own daughter. Even if I have to betray her, I have to do it in a way that's worthwhile. I can't stab her too deeply, in case my daughter can't accept it.

Huang Junyi said with a smile, "Don't worry, big sister, I won't embarrass Feiyan."

Huang Qingfei's smile remained unchanged. "If you need any help, just call me. I'll help you keep Feiyan calm."

"If Fei Yan knew you were doing this in private, your image would be completely ruined," Huang Junyi sighed after hearing Huang Qingfei's words.

“If Feiyan knew where you and Mingyan were being all lovey-dovey and touching each other like that before… I just didn’t want Feiyan to break down.” Huang Qingfei said, “I still can’t compare to my second sister. After all, my second sister was the one who stabbed me in the back. I was just trying to help cover up the wound.”

Huang Junyi raised an eyebrow, "You rascal..."

Huang Qingfei smiled gently, then turned and left.

"Even if Feiyan finds out later, don't provoke her too much," Huang Junru said coldly. "I don't want Feiyan to come to me complaining. So, do you want me to deal with you, or not?"

"Big sister... I really know my limits..." Huang Junyi said helplessly, "Don't worry, I definitely won't provoke Feiyan too much."

Huang Junru glanced at Huang Junyi, gave a soft snort, and turned to leave as well.

Huang Junyi curled her lips. They were both stabbing Fei Yan in the back, but the two of them wiped the blood clean and acted as if they had nothing to do with it. If Fei Yan exploded, wouldn't all three of them be the murderers?

However, as long as Fei Yan is by Ming Yan's side, things will settle down. Huang Junyi trusts this little man of hers quite a bit. Since he has said it out loud, Fei Yan will surely find out at some point in the future.

Thinking of the scene where he carried her and Fei Yan to bed together, Huang Junyi's face flushed. She spat lightly, "How shameless! What are you thinking?"

Chapter 127 A Happy Ending

Mingyan spent nearly half a month at the Huang family's residence. During this time, he used his free time to search for an opportunity for the birth of life.

As for his unavailable time...

Either I'm keeping Feiyan company, or I'm secretly keeping Fairy Sister company. Sigh, having a lot of people means being busy, it's a happy kind of trouble.

That day, Mingyan was discussing the origin of life with Feiyan when Huang Qingfei suddenly found them. She brought news that the Holy Yuan Dynasty had invited Mingyan to its capital as soon as possible.

Ming Yan frowned. The matter of the Holy Yuan Dynasty was already in the past. Empress Yin had previously said that she might send him to the Holy Yuan Dynasty again in six months to use his blood to prolong the life of the old Holy Emperor of the Holy Yuan Dynasty.

It seems the time has come. Mingyan had already agreed beforehand. Huang Junru was also present at the time. She wanted Mingyan to be on good terms with the Holy Yuan Dynasty, so she also suggested that Mingyan consider agreeing.

The fact that the Holy Yuan Dynasty has directly approached the Huang family isn't entirely unusual, but isn't this a bit premature? Wasn't it supposed to be half a year? It hasn't even been half a year yet...

Mingyan nodded. "Then let's set off immediately."

Huang Qingfei said, "Feiyan's mother will accompany you on this trip. Recently, things have not been peaceful within the territory of the Holy Yuan Dynasty. A large number of ferocious beasts and spirit beasts have gathered near the central abyss for unknown reasons. If you plan to seek opportunities there, you need to be extremely careful."

Mingyan was puzzled, but he noted the information down. Not long after, Huang Junru arrived. She didn't waste any words and explained everything that Huang Qingfei needed to know. She then took the two of them and set off.

Now that Huang Qingfei has broken through to the Renying level, with her in charge of the Huang family, Huang Junru can travel freely without worrying about any danger to the Huang family while she is away.

If Huang Junyi also breaks through to the Human Welcome Realm, that would be even better. After all, with two Human Welcome Realm cultivators who can move around outside at any time, the Huang family disciples can walk sideways without fear.

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

Five days later, the three arrived in the territory of the Holy Yuan Dynasty.

The Holy Yuan Dynasty has been extremely lively recently. The beast tide near the Central Abyss has attracted a lot of attention, and everyone wants to see what's going on.

Beast tides are not uncommon, but it is extremely rare for one to occur in a place like the Central Abyss.

Although the ferocious beasts and spirit beasts are generally unaffected in their activities near the central abyss due to certain special characteristics, such a large-scale gathering is still unprecedented.

In addition, because the area near the central abyss is blocked by herds of beasts covering the mountains and plains, including many spirit beasts comparable to those at the Human Realm, human cultivators are currently unable to enter and are isolated outside.

On the way, Mingyan wanted to ask Feng Shiyi what was going on, but Feng Shiyi was already asleep and could not be woken up no matter how Mingyan called her.

After arriving at the Holy Yuan Dynasty, Huang Junru never reappeared. Mingyan and Huang Feiyan strolled around the city and heard a lot of news.

There are many speculations that the beast tide is plotting something, possibly preparing to attack the Holy Yuan Dynasty. However, such speculations have no basis. There have been instances of beast tides attacking humans and demons before, but they would not target imperial-level holy lands and aristocratic families that possess imperial artifacts. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble? A Human Realm cultivator wielding an imperial artifact can sweep away a group of Human Realm spirit beasts. There has never been a case of a Great Emperor of the Extreme Dao being born and leaving behind an imperial artifact.

Another theory suggests that something happened inside the central abyss, and because some of the spirit beasts and ferocious beasts are the creatures closest to the central abyss, they sensed it long ago, which is why the beast horde blocked the path for humans and demons to reach the central abyss.

However, on a normal day, not many humans and demons go to the Central Abyss. It's too dangerous. If you go to the Central Abyss, your Dao and Dharma will be suppressed. Unless you are very confident in the strength of your physical body, you will not go to the Central Abyss rashly.

Mingyan felt that the second guess was much more reliable.

At this moment, Ming Yan received a telepathic message from Huang Junru: "It seems that many forces are eyeing the imperial artifacts of the Holy Yuan Dynasty. There are at least five cultivators at the Human Transcending Realm in this city."

Huang Junru's tone was somewhat grave, "The situation is more urgent than I had anticipated."

Five cultivators at the Transcendent Realm? Ming Yan's expression changed slightly. It seemed that many people knew that the old Holy Emperor was about to perish and were preparing to take action against the Holy Yuan Dynasty.

As long as the old Holy Emperor is alive, a powerful expert at the Human Realm wielding an Emperor-level weapon will be in his capital city, beneath which is a powerful Emperor-level formation. Even if these five people also wield Emperor-level weapons, they would not dare to act rashly. After all, if they were to fight to the death, they might also be seriously injured and become the prey of others.

Those with cultivation levels who use Emperor-level artifacts typically employ high-attack, low-imitation techniques. Therefore, Emperor-level artifacts mostly serve as a deterrent, and they dare not use them lightly, as it could easily result in mutual destruction.

However, if this old Holy Emperor were to die... even if a half-step Human-Welcoming Realm expert wields an Emperor-level weapon and masters an Emperor-level formation, they would completely lack the formidable deterrent power of a Human-Welcoming Realm expert. The damage inflicted by a half-step Human-Welcoming Realm expert using an Emperor-level weapon is on a completely different level compared to a Human-Welcoming Realm expert using an Emperor-level weapon. They could easily absorb the damage. As for the subsequent division of spoils, that would be another matter.

No wonder Empress Yin was so anxious; moreover, the old emperor's lifespan is shorter than initially planned, he must have suffered some injury recently...

Although Huang Junru has arrived here, she does not possess any imperial artifacts. The imperial artifacts remain with the Huang family. Unless the Holy Yuan Dynasty fully trusts Huang Junru and entrusts her with control of both the imperial artifacts and the national protective array, Huang Junru's appearance will likely not deter them from their plan to seize the imperial artifacts.

But is that possible? The Holy Yuan Dynasty is currently afraid that the Imperial Artifact will fall into the hands of others. As a result, before even fighting, they have already handed over the Imperial Artifact. If Huang Junru takes the Imperial Artifact and leaves, the Holy Yuan Dynasty will have no ability to resist and will be destroyed directly.

Even if two holy land families have the best relationship, they would never lend out imperial artifacts. If the other party wants to use it, most of the time it is their own family members who will make appearances or participate in battles with the imperial artifact. No one dares to gamble by simply handing the imperial artifact over to someone else.

Ming Yan frowned. The Holy Yuan Dynasty was facing such a crisis; if they were to get involved...

Judging from the fact that the Holy Yuan Dynasty summoned him, it's likely that his blood could indeed extend the life of the old Holy Emperor. However, extending life doesn't mean that the old Holy Emperor will immediately be able to jump up and smash these invaders to pieces just because Ming Yan gave him his blood. He still needs time to adjust his body, which means that during this period, Huang Jun Rulai will probably have to stall for time.

Mingyan's thoughts are different now than when he was born. If it were before, he would probably be bursting with a sense of justice and want to help the Holy Yuan Dynasty. But now, he is thinking more about whether it will put the people he cares about in danger.

For example, Huang Junru, and Huang Feiyan...

And, benefits.

What are the benefits of helping the Holy Yuan Dynasty? If his blood is useful to the old Holy Emperor and the Holy Yuan Dynasty survives this crisis, then Yin Hanyan will also break through to the Human Ying Realm in the future. This means that he will have another Human Ying Realm expert behind him who wields an Imperial Artifact. When needed, this Human Ying Realm cultivator can step forward.

"What do you plan to do?" Huang Junru transmitted her voice to Ming Yan, asking for his thoughts. He was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't want to get involved in this mess."

Mingyan didn't want Huangjun to be in danger, as she was his mother-in-law. Mingyan didn't want to be so reckless, especially since his relationship with the Holy Yuan Dynasty wasn't particularly close to begin with. If his relationship with the Holy Yuan Dynasty were like his relationship with the Huang family, he certainly wouldn't hesitate, but this was the Holy Yuan Dynasty.

Just as Huang Junru was about to speak, her expression suddenly became subtle. Then, Mingyan received another telepathic message. The voice was extremely familiar; it was none other than his master, Yue Wuxia.

"Go and help the Holy Yuan Dynasty."

"Master?!" Mingyan was very surprised. He didn't expect to hear his master's voice. He was overjoyed. Now that he had his master's opinion, Mingyan didn't hesitate anymore.

The master most likely brought an imperial artifact, but she... is a saint... A saint wielding an imperial artifact could easily sweep through this area; she can solve all these problems right now...

However, she didn't seem to have any idea about solving the problem... Mingyan thought for a moment and quickly understood. He transmitted his voice to Yue Wuxia, "Does Master not want to reveal his strength and gain favors along the way?"

If Yue Wuxia were to directly resolve the current crisis, her strength would be exposed, leaving her without a trump card. By not taking action now and merely existing as a safeguard, she can ensure that they have no worries. And the more dangerous the situation is for the Holy Yuan Dynasty, the more favors they will gain.

"You've figured it out, why aren't you doing it yet?" Yue Wuxia snorted. Ming Yan chuckled, and couldn't help but recall his master's reaction after she exposed that she had been secretly observing him. His heart skipped a beat. This time, his master had been observing him for a long time, which was why he appeared so timely.

Where can you find such a good teacher?

Huang Junru said, "Since that's the case, then let's get involved in this matter."

Mingyan nodded.

Soon, Huang Junru appeared and, together with Ming Yan and Huang Feiyan, openly arrived at the Shengyuan Imperial Palace, where they met Empress Yin and the Crown Prince.

Empress Yin's expression was solemn. She held a jade seal in her hand, which was the imperial artifact of the Holy Yuan Dynasty—the Holy Yuan Xuanhuang Jade Seal. She handed it directly to Huang Junru without hesitation.

This performance greatly surprised Mingyan, Huang Junru, and Huang Feiyan.

"Your Majesty, what is this...?!" Ming Yan had thought that the Holy Yuan Dynasty would never hand over the Imperial Artifact to them, but to their surprise, Empress Yin directly handed the Imperial Artifact to Huang Junru. This decisiveness astonished them.

"Besides trusting you, what other options do we have?" Empress Yin, dressed in palace attire, exuded elegance and grace, displaying the aura of an empress. However, her expression now held a hint of helplessness. "His Majesty could have held on for a while longer, but you must be aware of the recent beast tide, young friend. Several spirit beasts at the half-step Human Realm crossed the border intending to seize the Imperial Artifact. His Majesty was forced to intervene, and this intervention weakened him further..."

Yin Hanyan's words were tinged with helplessness and suppressed anger. Now that the Holy Yuan Dynasty was weak, everyone wanted to gain something, but they were powerless to do anything about it.

"Although there has never been a precedent of entrusting an imperial artifact to an outsider, the Huang family, though domineering in its actions, has never broken its word. I am willing to trust the Holy Lord of the Huang family," Empress Yin said earnestly.

"Please, Your Majesty, buy His Majesty enough time!" The Crown Prince also had a serious expression, but Ming Yan found it somewhat strange that he addressed the old Holy Emperor as "Your Majesty."

But these things aren't important now. Now that Huang Junru has taken over the imperial weapon, she can act even better.

Originally, she planned to disguise herself as carrying the Phoenix Clan's Imperial Artifact. As long as the other party didn't know the truth, they wouldn't dare to make a move easily. Even if they did make a move, with Yue Wuxia there, she wouldn't be afraid at all. It was just that Yue Wuxia might be exposed. But now that the Holy Yuan Dynasty has given her the Imperial Artifact, she no longer needs to disguise herself. She can just use the Imperial Artifact to make a strong statement. In the case of the same Human-Welcoming Realm, the Imperial Artifact's high attack and low imitation characteristics are enough to intimidate others and make them dare not make a move easily. Therefore, Yue Wuxia doesn't need to show her face.

The favor was done, the crisis was resolved, and the true strength was not exposed. Isn't this a win-win situation?

Chapter 128 My Master Has Me in His Heart

Huang Junru did not know that Yue Wuxia was already a Saint Realm cultivator, but she could tell from Yue Wuxia's confident tone that she must be carrying an Emperor Artifact. With a usable Emperor Artifact, Huang Junru felt more at ease. In addition, the Holy Yuan Dynasty had now handed over their Emperor Artifact and the national protection formation, which naturally gave Huang Junru even more confidence.

They don't want to fight to the bitter end, and neither does the other. Both are wary of each other. As long as a strategic balance is achieved, this crisis will naturally be resolved.

As for Mingyan, he naturally has an imperial artifact. As long as his master is there to oversee things, everything will be fine.

Mingyan gave his blood to Empress Yin Hanyan, who then gave it to the Crown Prince to use in order to prolong the life of the old Emperor.

Huang Junru directly released her aura and that of the Emperor's weapon without any concealment. She wanted the other cultivators in the city who were about to reach the Transcendent Realm to know that she was there and that she was wielding an Emperor's weapon.

When Huang Junru and the aura of the imperial artifact of the Holy Yuan Dynasty appeared simultaneously, the several cultivators in the city who were at the peak of their cultivation were indeed shocked.

They sensed Huang Junru's arrival long ago. Of course, they only knew that someone had come, but they didn't know who it was. However, now that Huang Junru had released her aura, the others naturally knew who it was. They originally thought that Huang Junru had come to get a share of the spoils, but they didn't expect that Huang Junru would actually stand on the side of the Holy Yuan Dynasty, and the Holy Yuan Dynasty would even hand over the imperial artifact to Huang Junru?!

This unprecedented situation secretly surprised the holy masters who were facing the realm, but they remained silent and none of them left.

If you, Phoenix Lord, can protect the Holy Yuan Dynasty for a time, can you protect it for a lifetime? Appearing so brazenly in the Holy Yuan Dynasty, does your Phoenix family no longer want it?

Once those who have grudges against the Huang family find out, the Huang family itself will be in danger.

However, what these people didn't know was that the Huang family still had a Human Realm expert left behind... so Huang Junru was very confident.

As for Feng Lingyueying, although on the surface Feng Lingyueying only has Yue Wuxia as a powerful expert, she never worries about Feng Lingyueying being in any danger whenever she leaves Feng Lingyueying. As for why, that is something worth pondering.

Mingyan was sending a telepathic message to his master, "Master, what brings you here?"
