One of my fairy-like friends

"You like her?" Huang Qingfei stood with her hands behind her back, dressed in a green robe, elegant and beautiful, with an ethereal air about her.

“...If it’s now, probably not yet. As for the future, who knows…” Mingyan shook his head. “I’m going to find her… well, it’s complicated. It’s hard to explain in a few words. If Auntie is interested, I don’t mind telling her the details.”

Huang Qingfei smiled and shook her head, "No need, I wasn't really curious about it, I just asked casually..."

"...Does my aunt think I'm a womanizer? Is that why she asked this question?"

"You are indeed a bit of a flirt, but I don't mind. In my eyes, you are a member of the Huang family, one of our own. It doesn't matter if you're a little flirtatious," Huang Qingfei said calmly.

Hearing this, Mingyan didn't know how to feel. Although he was now considered a member of the Huang family, his relationship with them was mostly due to Feiyan, Nishang, and the Fairy Sister. To put it bluntly, he was still an outsider son-in-law. And this outsider son-in-law was so promiscuous, yet the Huang family didn't seem to care much... It made him feel less like a son-in-law and more like a son born into the Huang family and carrying their blood...

Chapter 210 The Beautiful and Kind-hearted Phoenix Consort

This sense of belonging shouldn't be too strong.

“…” Mingyan scratched his head, unsure of what to say.

"But you do have a lot of women around you, can you manage to take care of them all?" Huang Qingfei chuckled. "I feel like you're a bit overwhelmed... Should I give you some tonics?"

Mingyan's expression turned serious. "Auntie, you can rest assured, I'm in good health..."

A man can't say no, which means he can't prove to his aunt how strong he is. Otherwise, he would definitely let his aunt experience what it means to be full of energy.

"Really?" Huang Qingfei turned her head, a faint smile playing on her lips. Although there was no hint of contempt or disdain, Mingyan still felt he was being doubted. He said seriously, "Auntie can ask Feiyan, my sister, and Ni Chang about this..."

"Why don't you just prove it to me directly?" Huang Qingfei tilted her head and looked at Ming Yan, her words were indeed surprising, making Ming Yan's heart skip a beat.

This...this isn't right, is it? You can't just prove it, Auntie...

Mingyan felt a little embarrassed, but then again, his aunt hadn't been angry when the fairy sister joked like that before. What was his aunt thinking...?

Mingyan stared at Huang Qingfei for a while, and then, as if possessed, he reached out and grasped Huang Qingfei's hand.

Mingyan's heart was pounding. He would never have done something so daring before. What was wrong with him now?

Kan Mingyan cautiously looked at Huang Qingfei, only to see her looking down at Mingyan's hand holding her jade-like hand. After a while, Huang Qingfei raised her head and smiled, "You're quite bold."

She didn't struggle and let Mingyan hold her hand. Mingyan really couldn't understand his aunt's intentions. He had so presumptuously taken her hand, but his aunt wasn't angry at all, and was even smiling.

"...Is your aunt annoying?"

“Not at all… It’s like, my nephew is holding my hand? Well, I wouldn’t say it’s like, you are indeed my nephew.” Huang Qingfei said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Mingyan couldn't quite describe his feelings. It turned out his aunt treated him like a child; no wonder she wasn't angry...

"Hmm... perhaps this is a bit vague, or inaccurate..." Huang Qingfei thought for a moment, perhaps feeling that her previous words were not accurate enough. After pondering for a while, she said, "I've never been held by a man before, but I don't mind you holding my hand. Perhaps it's because I see you as a nephew? Or perhaps it's simply because it's you holding my hand, so I don't resist?"

Mingyan's heart pounded. What was his aunt thinking?

He discovered that he actually had thoughts of possessing Huang Qingfei for himself...

Why am I becoming so greedy... Do I want to possess all the women around me?

I didn't think that way before...

At first, he only wanted to marry Ning Feixuan; later, he wanted them all; then, he accepted anyone who came his way; and now, it seems he's starting to take the initiative...

Huang Qingfei naturally twisted her fingers and inserted them between Mingyan's fingers, their fingers intertwined. "It feels different from when I held Feiyan's hand when we were little... Feiyan's palm was warmer than yours, and much smaller... Your palm is bigger than mine, it doesn't feel like a child's, it's more like I'm the child."

Huang Qingfei seemed oblivious to everything, continuing to chuckle, "Hehe... if we keep holding hands like this, and then we meet Second Sister, we'll really become her brother-in-law..."

"Auntie..."

"Hmm?" Huang Qingfei looked up at Ming Yan, a slight smile on her face. "What's wrong?"

“…” Ming Yan looked at Huang Qingfei and saw that she looked normal, no different from usual. He was silent for a while and then said, “I am indeed not a child anymore.”

"Yes, of course I know that." Huang Qingfei chuckled. "From any perspective, you're not a child... How about trying to hug me?"

Huang Qingfei once again uttered something astonishing. Ming Yan was stunned for a while, then remained silent for a moment before finally reaching out his other hand and putting his arm around Huang Qingfei's waist.

"Hmm...so this is what it feels like...I've seen Feiyan lying in your arms, seen Second Sister leaning against you, seen Ni Chang...held in your arms...I've always wondered what this feeling is like, and now it seems it really is quite nice, making one somewhat nostalgic..." Huang Qingfei gently snuggled against Ming Yan's chest. "You have a faint, refreshing fragrance about you, and leaning against you makes me feel very safe..."

"As long as my aunt doesn't dislike me..."

“How could I hate it? Actually, I’ve wanted to try this feeling for a long time…” Huang Qingfei raised her head and looked at Mingyan with a smile. “In fact, in my opinion, you are not only Feiyan’s fiancé, but also… the man of our entire Huang family, the entire Huang family… You should understand what I mean.”

Previously, Huang Junru didn't know the truth about the drying up of the Phoenix Blood Pool, so she told Mingyan that if any women of the Huang family wanted to have children, they would probably need Mingyan's help.

However, now that the reason for the Phoenix Blood Pool's drying up has been clarified, and my sister has revived, she has already begun preparations to restore the Phoenix Blood Pool's vitality, so there's no need to use the traditional method we discussed earlier.

"We don't need it anymore, do we?"

“They don’t need it, but I think… I do need it.” Huang Qingfei smiled and said, “Yan’er, actually… I quite like you.”

"...Auntie..."

"Don't say too much else. I want to know, if I tell you I like you, how will you respond?" Huang Qingfei smiled calmly. Was this a confession?

"Of course I won't refuse Auntie..." Mingyan nodded. He didn't have much to think about. It was just that the generational order was a bit strange, but with Huang Junyi around, the generational order was already messed up anyway, so it didn't matter.

"..." Upon hearing Ming Yan's reply, a faint blush finally appeared on Huang Qingfei's calm and pretty face. "...I see...Actually, I didn't expect things to come to this point...I've been thinking about how to express my thoughts in a suitable way...But you were unusually bold today, so I just blurted it out...I've been watching you for so long that I've unknowingly fallen for you...Luckily, you didn't reject me."

"Of course I wouldn't refuse, my aunt is so beautiful and kind..."

"Beautiful inside and out?" Huang Qingfei smiled gently. "If Fei Yan had said that, I would have believed it. You have seen my 'different' side."

Ahem... My aunt is indeed a bit cunning, but it doesn't matter...

Chapter 211 Calling for Wife

Huang Qingfei gave Mingyan a very special feeling...

Before today, Mingyan had never felt that Huang Qingfei paid any special attention to him. She always seemed so calm and collected, as if everything was written on her face, yet she was impossible to understand.

She didn't have that mysterious air about her, but she hid her thoughts very well.

To put it in Mingyan's words, it's like... a bit of a repressed pervert, right?

On the other hand, now things are really messed up. Aside from Huang Junru, everyone around Fei Yan has some kind of ambiguous relationship with her...

"What are you thinking about?" Huang Qingfei looked up at Ming Yan and saw that he seemed to be lost in thought, so she couldn't help but ask.

Mingyan snapped out of his reverie, looked at Huang Qingfei, and then smiled, pursing his lips. "I was just wondering what Feiyan's expression would be if she knew?"

“Feiyan might have been angry before, but not necessarily now. I heard she had already agreed to let you 'cultivate' with... Second Sister and Ni Chang.” Huang Qingfei smiled. “I will personally go and talk to Feiyan… By the way, do you think this is a little sudden?”

"What does 'aunt' refer to...?"

"I'm suddenly telling you that I like you." Huang Qingfei chuckled lightly, her tone always so calm and unwavering.

Mingyan blinked. "It is indeed... a little sudden. After all, my aunt has never shown any affection for me before, or maybe I'm just too stupid to notice her thoughts... But, sudden as it may be, I won't refuse."

"You've become greedy, and bold. If it were before, you definitely wouldn't have dared to hold my hand like this, and you probably would have hesitated for a long time before my confession." Huang Qingfei's tone was always as calm as ever. She smiled, "However, I don't dislike this change. If it weren't for this, I might have a real headache..."

“…” Mingyan pursed his lips. It seemed that he wasn't the only one who felt he had changed; in other people's eyes, he had changed too…

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

"Weren't you going to see Sister Mengru? Go take care of your business. I'm going to find Feiyan to talk about what happened between us." Huang Qingfei patted Mingyan's hand. "Or do you have other plans?"

"No rush." ​​Mingyan held Huang Qingfei's hand, shook his head, and strolled leisurely with her. "I want to talk to my aunt more."

"Hehe, of course no problem, but...aren't you going to change your tune now? Although Fei Yan and I both have phoenix blood, strictly speaking, we don't have any kinship like in the mortal world." Huang Qingfei laughed, "Call me aunt or sister, it doesn't matter."

"What would you like me to call you, Auntie?"

"Hmm... try calling me 'wife'?" Huang Qingfei paused briefly, then chuckled.

"My lady~" Mingyan smiled, but did not refuse, and called softly. Huang Qingfei's lips curled up slightly, "Not bad...call me a couple more times?"

"My wife, my wife."

Huang Qingfei smiled, her smile growing even wider, "...It sounds quite nice...I never imagined that one day I would actually hear someone call me 'wife'..."

"Is it because Auntie never thought she would get married?"

“Of course, since drinking the blood of the Phoenix Blood Pool can lead to childbirth, why would one need to marry?” Huang Qingfei smiled slightly. “However, even if the Phoenix Blood Pool were to return to its former state, if I wanted a child, I would definitely not choose the Phoenix Blood Pool again.”

Huang Qingfei and Mingyan held hands, her smooth fingers were so lovely to touch. She turned to look at Mingyan and said, “I’ve been thinking about it. Calling me ‘wife’ isn’t appropriate. No matter what, you are Feiyan’s fiancé. If you call me ‘wife’ in front of Feiyan in the future… Feiyan will probably be angry with you. It’s one thing if she can accept us, but she definitely won’t want her title as the legal wife to be taken away.”

"So, whatever you shout is up to you. Besides, Yan'er, no matter what, you are Fei Yan's fiancé, and Fei Yan is your fiancée. This is absolutely non-negotiable, do you understand?" Huang Qingfei said sternly, "This is something that cannot be compromised under any circumstances. If you can't even stand by this, then Fei Yan..."

"I know, Auntie, don't worry. I've always been mindful of my boundaries. I know that's Fei Yan's bottom line, and actually, it's mine too." Ming Yan nodded. In any case, Fei Yan was the first woman he was sure he would marry after giving up on Ning Feixuan, so his fiancée, and even his future wife, would all be Fei Yan.

"Then I'm relieved." Huang Qingfei smiled slightly. "Now that you've wiped out the entire Huang family..."

No, right? The Huang family has so many people... Besides, even you three sisters didn't manage to take them all down...

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

The two chatted for a while before Huang Qingfei left first. She was going to find Feiyan and tell her about their relationship. Mingyan originally wanted to go with her, but Huang Qingfei refused.

Huang Qingfei felt that it would be better for her to speak on this matter herself. If Mingyan went, it would put some invisible pressure on Feiyan, and there were some things that were difficult to say. Although Mingyan didn't think it was a big deal, he didn't say anything more because Huang Qingfei insisted.

He trusted Huang Qingfei to handle it, and he himself continued searching for Ning Mengru...

Although he had the unexpected gain of Huang Qingfei, the purpose of this trip was still to see if he could persuade Aunt Ning. Once Aunt Ning was convinced, then his master...

To be honest, the conflict between Aunt Ning and Master was something she herself had started. If the two of them were harmonious, how could Mingyan benefit? To maintain the tension between them, he had to prevent any real conflict from arising, so that he could profit from it...

Mingyan arrived at Ning Mengru's door, pushed it open, and saw Ning Mengru sitting cross-legged in the air with her eyes closed, seemingly cultivating.

Mingyan blinked. What era are we living in? Still using traditional cultivation methods? A month of cultivation might not even match the speed of a single instance of modern cultivation...

However, he did not disturb Ning Mengru. He just stood there quietly watching Ning Mengru, who was sitting cross-legged in the air, surrounded by ethereal energy.

Not long after, Ning Mengru landed slowly on the ground. She looked at Ming Yan, who was still staring at her silently, and said with a smile, "You came here just to stare at me?"

Chapter 212 Not an outsider

"I just didn't want to disturb Aunt Ning," Ming Yan smiled slightly. "Besides, Aunt Ning was truly captivating just now, surrounded by an ethereal aura, like a living fairy..."

Ning Mengru rolled her eyes at Ming Yan, "No matter how fairy-like she is, I'm already tired of her."

"How could that be? Aunt Ning underestimated her charm. Tired of her? She'll never get tired of her." Ming Yan said casually.

"...Have you become a bit too glib lately?" Ning Mengru walked up to Ming Yan, put her hands behind her back, and walked around him a few times. The fragrance in her hair was quite strong, making Ming Yan feel a little intoxicated.

"Is there?"

"Of course." Ning Mengru stopped and stood in front of Ming Yan, her expression somewhat suspicious. But after a moment, her expression returned to normal. "I heard you've been going to Gu Hanshuang and Yu Mudan's place quite often lately?"
