One of my fairy-like friends

It's not that there's no other way... but is it really necessary to do this?

On one hand, she didn't want Mingyan to have any more people around him; on the other hand, he was a respected elder...

Yue Wuxia felt somewhat weary. She already had an answer in her heart, but telling Mingyan and Yue Qingyou directly was impossible. Just because she could accept the situation didn't mean she could put in the effort to work things out between them...

It's a given that Mingyan is surrounded by many women, but that doesn't mean Yue Wuxia would actively act as a pimp for Mingyan and other women...

Wang Qingchu turned her head to look at Yue Wuxia, a faint smile playing on her lips, lost in thought.

Chapter 177 Fei Yan is about to awaken

Huang Feiyan slowly walked to Yue Qingying's door. She didn't know why she came here, and she was now somewhat confused about her own thoughts.

The two people inside the door should be able to sense their impending arrival. I wonder what Qingying and Mingyan are thinking. One of them is her best friend, and the other is her fiancé. And now her fiancé is standing outside the door, while the other two are inside... what are they doing?

Huang Feiyan remained silent for a while, then leaned against the doorway.

She was no longer a novice. While she hadn't had a lot of experience with Mingyan, she had tried quite a few positions and was fairly knowledgeable about matters between men and women.

Mingyan and Yue Qingying were inside, so it was impossible for them to be sitting together cozy reading books and practicing traditional cultivation...

At this very moment, the two of them are perhaps...

Huang Feiyan placed her hands behind her back, a faint pain piercing her heart.

Although she had somewhat accepted Mingyan and Yue Qingying's relationship, standing at the doorway at this moment still made Huang Feiyan feel uneasy...

She couldn't help but recall herself in that long dream...

In my dream, I not only didn't mind this kind of thing, but I was actually quite happy to see it happen...

Although Huang Feiyan has always denied that those were her true thoughts, compared to her current unhappiness... she'd rather have that mindset; she wouldn't feel so bad then...

Will this kind of thing happen less often in the future?

Although she held the title of fiancée, she couldn't stop the women around Mingyan. Now there was Qingying, Feixuan seemed to have returned to Mingyan's side, and there was also Yue Ningshuang, as well as Huang Nishang and her second aunt...

Can it be stopped? Huang Feiyan no longer has any intention of possessing it all...

This can't go on... This constant, stabbing pain... It's better to live in my dreams, at least then I wouldn't feel so miserable...

Huang Feiyan sighed softly and leaned against the door. The two people inside the room naturally sensed Huang Feiyan's presence.

Yue Qingying lay on the bed, her eyes flickering slightly. "What is Fei Yan doing standing outside the door?"

“…” Mingyan felt a mix of emotions. “She probably knew we were in there, right?”

"So what? I've already laid it all out with Fei Yan, and she knows everything." Yue Qingying shook her head. "Compared to those... junior brothers, the white stockings you gave me are really pretty... and this outfit... um~"

Yue Qingying's mood wasn't affected by Huang Feiyan; Mingyan gave her a school uniform and white stockings...

Although Yue Qingying was past sixteen or seventeen, now twenty-one, she was naturally beautiful. Wearing her school uniform—a blazer, white shirt, knee-length skirt, and white stockings—and with a specially changed hairstyle...

Yue Qingying looked so pure and beautiful that it made Ming Yan's mouth water.

The purer something is, the more one wants to defile it; that's probably the mentality.

Mingyan was somewhat amused and exasperated when he noticed Huang Feiyan outside the door get up and eventually leave...

Mingyan sighed inwardly. Actually, it would be better if Feiyan were really like in his dream. At least he wouldn't feel sad, right? Just like Feixuan, he might even be secretly excited watching her, and might even stand outside the door playing the flute to entertain the people inside.

Fei Xuan is alright, but Ming Yan has always felt guilty towards Huang Fei Yan. When he made the decision to have both of them, Ming Yan was already aware of this situation.

"Alright, alright, junior brother, look at me. Don't think about Fei Yan anymore. She'll figure it out eventually." Yue Qingying didn't hear Ming Yan's reply, nor did she feel his slightly rough movements. She turned her head to look at Ming Yan, pouting slightly. "Even I would be angry, you know? Thinking about other women while doing this kind of thing..."

Mingyan turned around and leaned against Yue Qingying's back, "I'm sorry... Senior Sister..."

"Then let's show it with actions." Seeing Mingyan's condition improve, Yue Qingying smiled slightly...

————————————————————————————

An Ran found Ning Mengru's residence and paid her a visit.

Ning Mengru was a sage and had discovered An Ran's existence long ago. She was quite surprised when she learned of An Ran's cultivation level. She never expected that the female cultivator that Ming Yan had brought in would have already broken through to the Taiyi level.

The two were not master and disciple, but after Yaochi took in An Ran and Shui Ruyan, she had a highly respected elder of Yaochi take them as disciples and took good care of them. Therefore, An Ran was very grateful to Yaochi.

Moreover, Empress Qingzi herself has an inextricable relationship with Yaochi. As the Empress's personal disciple, An Ran naturally knew that Empress Qingzi had told her about her connection with Yaochi. Yaochi can be considered to have done a favor for both the master and disciple.

"Queen Mother!" An Ran bowed upon seeing Ning Mengru. "I apologize for my impolite visit, Queen Mother."

"No need to be so polite." Ning Mengru smiled and helped her up, saying with some emotion, "That sickly child from back then has now become a fairy who can stand on her own."

"I have to thank Yaochi for taking me and Ruyan in back then..." An Ran said, "I will always remember Yaochi's kindness to us and to my master..."

"This was entrusted to me by Yan'er, so I naturally cannot neglect it." Ning Mengru smiled and said, "If you want to thank someone, thank Yan'er."

"..." An Ran smiled gently. Now it seemed that Ming Yan and Yao Chi's relationship had become quite intimate. This was good. Repaying Ming Yan was also a way of repaying Yao Chi.

"Although I am not strong enough yet, please do not hesitate to ask if there is anything I can do for you, Your Highness. Although I believe only Young Master Ming is qualified to use my power, repaying Yaochi is also a way of repaying Young Master Ming..."

For some reason, Ning Mengru's face flushed red. Yaochi was practically becoming Mingyan's harem. The Queen Mother of the West and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi had become his consorts. With Wang Qingchu's presence, this statement was indeed true.

Noticing Ning Mengru's flushed face, An Ran felt a little strange, but didn't ask any further questions.

"Before you came to the Huang family, did you return to Yaochi?" Ning Mengru asked, coming back to her senses.

An Ran nodded. "I went back to Yaochi to see Ruyan. Later, I wanted to visit the Empress, but an elder told me that the Empress and the Holy Maiden had come to the Huang family. I guessed that Young Master Ming must be here as well, so I rushed over."

When she mentioned "Young Master Ming," her tone and expression were noticeably different, and Ning Mengru felt a strange unease. She had known for a long time that An Ran liked Ming Yan, but she hadn't expected that her relationship with Ming Yan would turn out this way...

Chapter 178 A Similar Stroke of the Same Idea

I wonder what An Ran's expression will be when she finds out that she and Ming Yan are in that kind of relationship.

Although Ning Mengru felt somewhat uneasy, she certainly wouldn't show it on her face. She didn't want others to know about these things. Losing face as Ning Mengru was fine; what was done was done. But she didn't want to lose face for Yaochi. As the Queen Mother of the West, being with a junior would inevitably cause gossip...

However, the person in front of you is a potential rival in love.

It's quite a coincidence that both master and disciple have some connection to Yaochi...

The Empress herself seems to have some expectations for Mingyan, and who knows how many secrets Mingyan still holds.

————————————————————————

Huang Qingfei is brewing wine. She brews a batch of new wine every year and stores it until a certain time has passed before taking it out to drink.

This custom has been around for over a hundred years.

In fact, these immortal wines can be stored for thousands or even tens of thousands of years without any problem. The Huang family also has a huge wine cellar containing many ancient immortal wines. However, it is obvious that we cannot exhaust the resources, so we will naturally brew new wine after drinking them.

As Huang Qingfei calmly prepared the new wine, she suddenly looked up and found that her eldest sister, Huang Junru, had appeared beside her at some point, looking at her calmly.

"Big sister? What brings you here?" Huang Qingfei stopped what she was doing and smiled.

"I came to see you, and by the way... I wanted to talk to you about some things." Huang Junru's expression was indifferent, but Huang Qingfei and Huang Junru were sisters and knew each other very well, so she naturally knew that this indifference had no other meaning.

"Let's go to the side." Huang Qingfei nodded, tidied herself up, and walked side by side with Huang Junru to a nearby pavilion where they sat down.

The two sisters have a height difference; Huang Junru is taller than Huang Qingfei, and with her clothing and accessories, she appears exceptionally noble and somewhat aloof. Huang Qingfei, on the other hand, looks like Ning Mengru—the kind of person who is very approachable at first glance, making it easy for others to feel good about her.

"What brings you here, elder sister?" Huang Qingfei asked with a smile.

"Let's talk...about our future," Huang Junru said. "I didn't go to see Junyi; she's completely focused on Mingyan right now..."

Huang Qingfei looked at Huang Junru and smiled without saying a word.

"What do you think of the phoenix?" Huang Junru turned her head to look at Huang Qingfei.

“There’s nothing to worry about. Originally, Fei Yan’s matter might have made things difficult for us, but now that Ming Yan has a solution, we can rest assured.” Huang Qingfei smiled and said, “Sister, are you still worried about Fei Yan? I think that Ming Yan has solved the Phoenix problem, so there is no need to worry about Fei Yan disappearing.”

Huang Junyi paused for a moment, then continued, "So, what do you want to do in the future?"

"Do something..." Huang Qingfei repeated softly, then smiled and said, "Just do what you did before, now."

"You should know what I'm talking about," Huang Junru said calmly, seemingly implying something.

Huang Qingfei smiled slightly, "Eldest sister, do you want me to be like second sister?"

"It's not about what I want, but... what do you think?"

“I think… let nature take its course.” Huang Qingfei shook her head. “I’m not against it, but I don’t want to deliberately try to get closer to it.”

"I thought you were unwilling to let Fei Yan down." Huang Junru's expression was indifferent, but there seemed to be a slight hint of teasing in her tone.

If Mingyan saw his mother-in-law, who was so serious and aloof, speaking in such a tone, I wonder what he would think.

Huang Qingfei chuckled, “Now that things have come to this, there are too many things I’ve done to wrong Feiyan. If Feiyan came to me and said what I’ve done to wrong her, I’d probably have to ask her back, ‘Too many, which one are you referring to?’”

Huang Junru raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat sighing.

"But... Eldest sister, what does Ni Chang think?" Huang Qingfei looked at Huang Junru with a smile. "Ni Chang, do you want to stay by Mingyan's side forever? Actually, it's quite acceptable for Feiyan to both Second Sister and me, but Ni Chang's situation, as you know, is rather special."

Huang Junru was silent for a while, then said, "I asked Ni Chang, and she has already made up her mind. I... don't want to change her mind."

"Hmm? So, you really intend to stay by Mingyan's side?" Huang Qingfei chuckled and shook her head. "Well, that's it. Our Huang family has been wiped out by Mingyan, from our ancestors to our generation... Ha..."

Huang Junru asked, "Do you care about what other people think?"

"I don't really care. As long as she's happy, that's all that matters. I'm just a little worried about whether Feiyan can come to terms with these things." Huang Qingfei smiled and said, "But based on my understanding of Feiyan, she has always been quite magnanimous. Perhaps there are some things she can't accept right away, but given enough time, she will eventually be able to accept them."

Huang Junru sighed softly, paused for a moment, and then said, "Putting everything else aside, I still hope that you and Jie Mingyan can get together. Although the Dark Turmoil has been delayed, improving your strength as soon as possible is still of paramount importance."

"Elder sister, I want to ask you a question. How much of Ni Chang's feeling for Ming Yan is genuine? Is it simply a desire to break through this barrier, or... has she truly fallen in love with him?" Huang Qingfei asked in return after hearing this.

"...You might as well ask her about this yourself." Huang Junru stood up, seemingly intending to leave.

"She must have told you, right?" Huang Qingfei also stood up and smiled. "Or is it that she just doesn't want to say it?"

"..." Huang Junru turned her back to Huang Qingfei, closed her eyes, and after thinking for a moment, said, "She has probably really fallen in love with him."

“I see…” Huang Qingfei paused for a moment, then smiled slightly, “Elder sister, you don’t need to worry about me. I still have a good impression of Yan’er. It would be strange if nothing happened if he took the initiative.”

“If you don’t object, then it really doesn’t matter.” Huang Junru nodded gently, then said, “Recently, I learned something…”

"Hmm?" Huang Qingfei looked at Huang Junru.

You know Yue Ning Shuang, right?

"Well, I guess so." Huang Qingfei nodded. Although she had been unconscious for a long time, Ning Feixuan was already Ning Mengru's disciple before she fell into a coma. Before that, she had never heard of Ning Mengru having taken on any other disciples, so she was a little confused when she learned about Yue Ningshuang.

"She is actually Ning Mengru," Huang Junru said, turning her head before leaving.

Huang Qingfei was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. It seemed that they were indeed similar in purpose.
