One of my fairy-like friends

"..." Phoenix was silent for a moment, then said, "As things stand, the best approach might be for you to control the body for a period of time, and for me to control it for a period of time..."

Phoenix doesn't want to become Mingyan and Huang Feiyan's daughter. Strictly speaking, it's still her own body, and she should be Mingyan and Huang Feiyan controlling her daughter... This is too convoluted.

Not to mention, if she really became a daughter, all her cultivation would be gone, and she would have to start all over again...

Starting from scratch is perfectly acceptable, but Phoenix was once someone who stood at the pinnacle of the world, looking down upon it, invincible for 20,000 years. Now, to ask her to start from scratch... Phoenix wouldn't do this unless she was truly left with no other choice.

Ultimately, why should one simply hand over their cultivation level to someone else?

"So, you're like my second personality?"

"You're more like my second personality," Phoenix scoffed. "But it doesn't matter anyway. Once your strength returns to its peak, it's the right thing for you to have a few more children with Ming..."

At this point, Phoenix hesitated. Based on her investigation, she had discovered something very troublesome.

The Human King Body can indeed create pure-blooded phoenixes for the Phoenix Clan, but the problem lies in... the secret to maintaining the pure bloodline of the phoenix is ​​that the Human King Body's bloodline doesn't merge with the phoenix blood; it only strengthens and perpetuates it. Therefore, strictly speaking, Mingyan and Huang Feiyan's child is a product of replication and strengthening using the original phoenix blood, which means... their offspring will likely only be female...

The Phoenix Clan can continue for one generation, but what about the future?

Moreover, it's probably not just the Phoenix God Clan; the problem of the Human King Physique is likely a common issue. They probably can't continue the Human King Physique bloodline through normal reproduction. No wonder this special physique can't be passed down through bloodlines normally.

However, Phoenix was somewhat curious: if there were two human king bodies... could the human king body be passed down through bloodline?

In conclusion, the fact that a new generation of phoenixes can be produced is already quite good in the eyes of the phoenixes; they cannot ask for too much.

There will definitely be new solutions in the future. Just like when she hadn't chosen to create the Phoenix Clan in an attempt to be reborn, she wouldn't be alive today. Back then, she was also at a loss, but after more than two million years, didn't she find a solution? And now, although she can only take it one step at a time, there will definitely be new solutions in the future. As long as she lives long enough, she will always encounter new solutions.

"So we've reached a consensus?" Huang Feiyan smiled. "Actually... I was thinking, you don't seem as resistant to Mingyan as before anymore. Why don't you give it a try with Mingyan..."

Phoenix became somewhat wary upon hearing this, "You're not trying to set me up with Mingyan, are you?"

"If you say my body is also your body, then in a sense, you've already consummated your marriage," Huang Feiyan said with a smile. "It's not that hard to accept, is it?"

"I advise you to give up that idea. The things Mingyan did back then... I can overlook them because he can help me reproduce the next generation of phoenixes, but if you want to force me to be with him... ha..." Phoenix sneered.

Chapter 215 The Unusual Non-Smoke

"Haven't you thought about it? The new generation of Phoenix Gods will also be Mingyan's children. To Mingyan, you and I are their mothers, and Mingyan is their father. The mother and father don't get along... You wouldn't raise those children to be hostile to Mingyan, would you?" Huang Feiyan asked hesitantly halfway through her sentence.

"...You're overthinking it. But they are all offspring of the Phoenix Clan. Although they need Mingyan's help to be born, they don't have Mingyan's blood flowing in their veins. I can't say how they will treat Mingyan..." the Phoenix said calmly.

However, this statement is not accurate. In reality, the blood of the king will definitely flow in their veins, but it will not affect their bloodline. The way they exist is rather mysterious.

"As long as you don't teach recklessly, there definitely won't be any problems," Huang Feiyan said. "I still think you can get along well with Mingyan..."

Phoenix snorted coldly and didn't continue speaking. She didn't hold it against Mingyan because she needed him, and she was helpless against him now. She could indeed let it go in the future, but letting it go was one thing, and talking about "getting along well" was another... well, let's just forget about it.

Seeing that Phoenix didn't respond, Huang Feiyan secretly chuckled to herself; she wasn't in a hurry...

Once we've convinced Mingyan to launch his own offensive, and also when we reach the top of the hill, we can switch to Phoenix's personality. After disgusting Phoenix a few times, Phoenix will eventually give in.

Huang Feiyan put the flower wreath back on, turned around, and found that Huang Qingfei had appeared silently behind her.

"Auntie?" Huang Feiyan smiled. Auntie is the best. Auntie wouldn't betray her like Second Aunt and try to steal her man.

After Huang Feiyan noticed her, Huang Qingfei walked up with a smile.

"I noticed you seemed lost in thought just now, so I didn't disturb you." Huang Qingfei was dressed in green, looking elegant and pure.

"Actually, I was just chatting with Phoenix," Huang Feiyan explained somewhat embarrassedly. She wondered if her aunt had noticed her quiet yet expressive demeanor. If her aunt had seen it, the scene would have been quite strange...

"I see... You still keep in touch with Phoenix?" Huang Qingfei was somewhat surprised to hear this.

"Hmm... Ever since they learned that Mingyan could help the Phoenix Clan revive, the Phoenix's attitude has changed; at least they've become less unapproachable." Huang Feiyan nodded gently. "Let's not talk about the Phoenix anymore. Auntie, are you here to see me or just passing by?"

"I have something I'd like to talk to you about." Huang Qingfei smiled, pursed her lips, and sat down on a bench. She then patted the seat next to her, gesturing for Huang Feiyan to sit down.

Huang Feiyan sat down as well, turned her head to look at Huang Qingfei, and smiled, "Auntie seems quite happy today? Your smile is brighter than before, did something happy happen?"

"I suppose so." Upon hearing this, Huang Qingfei subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face. Was it really that obvious? So obvious that Fei Yan could see it at a glance? She was slightly losing control of her expression.

"Let me guess, Auntie came to see me about this too, right? Did she want to share it with me?" Huang Feiyan continued with a smile.

"...Yes, it is indeed the same thing..." Huang Qingfei put down her hand. Feiyan seemed to have become much smarter recently. Was it just her imagination?

However, sharing this with you... is certainly a happy thing for me, but for you... that's another story...

After a moment of contemplation, Huang Qingfei said, "I just met with Mingyan."

"Hmm...? And then?" Huang Feiyan didn't realize what Huang Qingfei wanted to say, after all, the sentence was indeed very short and didn't reveal much information.

"Then we established a relationship." Huang Qingfei's tone was very calm. Her gaze was fixed on Huang Feiyan's face. She didn't beat around the bush and said it quite directly.

"Hmm...?" Upon hearing this, Huang Feiyan subconsciously tilted her head. Had they confirmed their relationship? Confirmed what relationship? A romantic relationship...? That shouldn't be the case; her aunt didn't seem to have that kind of feeling for Mingyan.

Huang Feiyan subconsciously rejected the correct answer, but after rejecting it, she still couldn't figure out what kind of relationship Huang Qingfei meant by "establishing a relationship".

"To put it more bluntly, it's that... Mingyan and I have also become Daoist partners, Feiyan." Seeing that Huang Feiyan still seemed somewhat confused, or rather, unwilling to believe it, Huang Qingfei became even more direct. If Huang Feiyan still didn't understand, or still refused to believe, then there was nothing she could do...

Huang Feiyan remained silent for a brief moment, and Huang Qingfei waited quietly for a while as well. She didn't know how Huang Feiyan would react, but in any case, her relationship with Mingyan was already established, and she wouldn't regret it. If Feiyan wanted to blame her, then so be it...

But as Huang Qingfei waited, what she received wasn't Huang Feiyan's negative emotions. Instead, she saw a smile slowly spreading across Huang Feiyan's face. "I knew Auntie couldn't escape either..."

"..." Seeing that Fei Yan's behavior was a bit unusual, Huang Qingfei tentatively asked, "Fei Yan... are you alright?"

"Of course it's alright." Huang Feiyan smiled brightly. "Wouldn't this make our relationship even closer? Does Auntie think I'd be angry?"

"At least she'll be as composed as she is now... It seems I was overthinking it?" Seeing that Huang Feiyan's emotions weren't feigned, Huang Qingfei breathed a sigh of relief. But why didn't Feiyan care about such things now?

She remembered that after her second sister's affair was exposed, Fei Yan was so angry that she was practically steaming, but when it came to her and Ming Yan's affair, Fei Yan was so calm... not only was she not angry, but she could even smile.

Huang Qingfei could tell, of course, that the smile wasn't forced, but rather carried a hint of helplessness.

Could it be because I'm closer to Fei Yan...? But that doesn't make sense. Wouldn't it hurt more to be betrayed by someone you're closer to?

Huang Qingfei couldn't quite understand it, but since Feiyan didn't care, she could finally relax.

"I've already figured it out. Whether it's Sister Ni Chang, or Second Aunt and Little Aunt... we're all family. Actually, I was thinking a while ago about whether Little Aunt would also fall into Ming Yan's clutches, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly..." Huang Feiyan hugged Huang Qingfei's arm. "I was raised by Little Aunt since I was little. I never thought that one day, I would marry the same person as Little Aunt..."

Chapter 216 Jade Peony is in a hurry

Upon hearing this, Huang Qingfei chuckled softly, then reached out and ruffled Huang Feiyan's hair. "I thought you'd be angry. I was prepared to hear you scold me..."

"I was taught by my aunt, how could I swear?" Huang Feiyan pouted upon hearing this. "But... Aunt, was it Mingyan who actively pursued you, or..."

"I guess you could say I was the one who confessed," Huang Qingfei shook her head. She pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know exactly when I started liking him... it's just that every time I noticed him, my gaze would always drift to him, and after looking at him for a while, I naturally developed feelings for him... Of course, maybe it's because he saved me back then..."

"...Mingyan really got a good deal; even my aunt has fallen for him..." Huang Feiyan pouted. "He almost swept them all away..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Qingfei couldn't help but smile. "Do you regret becoming his fiancée?"

"Of course I don't regret it. If my fiancée isn't me, then what am I?" Huang Feiyan shook her head like a rattle drum. "My mother was very wise in making that decision back then."

Regardless, at least she has a title, a title that Ming Yan acknowledges, and Huang Feiyan is already quite satisfied with that.

Don't underestimate this title. Huang Feiyan believes that both Qingying and Feixuan actually want it.

Hehe... In the end, I still won, I won!

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

Mingyan disappeared for a few more days, and for Yu Mudan, these days truly felt like an eternity.

She didn't know if Ming Yan had secretly contacted Gu Han Shuang, because she was currently weaker than Ming Yan. If Ming Yan had indeed secretly visited Gu Han Shuang, she probably wouldn't have been able to find out...

She hadn't intended to put too much pressure on herself, but considering certain possible scenarios, Yu Mudan couldn't help but feel nervous...

Bai Ze hasn't shown his face during this time. He had already planted seeds for the suspicious Yu Mudan and was just waiting for them to sprout. Trying to hint at things to Yu Mudan repeatedly would only make her realize that something was wrong.

She had been observing Yu Mudan's condition through her divine sense these past few days, and just as she had expected, Yu Mudan had been extremely restless and uncomfortable, pacing back and forth in her room, pondering the relationship between Ming Yan and Gu Hanshuang.

Gu Hanshuang hadn't left her house for the past few days, so Yu Mudan couldn't deduce from her movements whether Mingyan had visited her...

A few days ago, Bai Ze went to see Gu Hanshuang and they talked about some things. Gu Hanshuang seemed to be somewhat persuaded by Ming Yan. Gu Hanshuang, who had always been firm in her stance on this matter, showed for the first time that "if Yu Mudan doesn't hold it against me, the past grievances can be wiped clean." Of course, Gu Hanshuang did not explicitly say so, but she did reveal a similar idea.

However, getting Yu Mudan to let go of their troubles won't be easy...

That day, Yu Mudan finally couldn't sit still any longer and took the initiative to leave the room and go directly to find Gu Hanshuang.

Gu Hanshuang didn't give Yu Mudan the cold shoulder. She quickly opened the door and saw Yu Mudan standing outside. Gu Hanshuang frowned slightly and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to talk to you, don't look at me like that, I'm very friendly..." Yu Mudan smiled, although she wished she could trample Gu Hanshuang under her feet and grind her face with her feet, Yu Mudan's expression management was quite good and she would not show it.

Gu Hanshuang noticed that Yu Mudan's gaze kept drifting into the room while she was speaking. She smirked and said coldly, "You're here to talk to me to make sure Mingyan hasn't come to see me, right? I can tell you, Mingyan comes to see me all the time. You don't need to look."

Gu Hanshuang said these words to spite Yu Mudan, because Mingyan hadn't come for several days either, but judging from Yu Mudan's behavior, he probably hadn't gone to see her either. This made Gu Hanshuang trust Mingyan even more; it seemed Mingyan was indeed somewhat biased towards her... and hadn't let her down by genuinely considering him a friend...

As for what Mingyan was busy with, she didn't care. Mingyan had so many women around him, he couldn't possibly spend all his time on his friend, her.

Yu Mudan smiled and said, "You don't need to scare me. I know Mingyan hasn't come to see you these past few days."

"Believe it or not," Gu Hanshuang said coldly. "Get lost, I don't have time to waste with you."

"..." Yu Mudan shrugged. "Look, your attitude is always so rude; it doesn't seem like you want to make up with me at all..."

"I just can't stand your hypocritical attitude," Gu Hanshuang sneered.

Yu Mudan smiled, a hint of gloom in her eyes. She turned and left, her heart filled with unease...

Gu Hanshuang wasn't the type to lie. Yu Mudan, having been Gu Hanshuang's rival for many years, knew her quite well...

So what she just said is probably true. Mingyan has likely met Gu Hanshuang several times in secret. As for why they met in secret...

That's naturally because they don't want me to know, and the reason they don't want me to know...

Yu Mudan was indeed wrong this time; Gu Hanshuang was lying. However, this was also because Yu Mudan had been accumulating anxiety for some time, which led her to believe what she was more willing to believe...

Watching Yu Mudan leave, Gu Hanshuang snorted coldly and closed the door.

Yu Mudan, on the other hand, returned to her room...

No... I can't just sit here and wait to die... If this continues, I'm afraid I'll be at the mercy of Ming Yan and Gu Hanshuang...

If these two really join forces, even Master might not be able to do anything... This is in the Huang family, and right under Wang Qingchu's nose. Even if Master wanted to stop them, he would be powerless.

If the two of them were to join forces, all that awaited him would likely be endless humiliation...

Actively trying to please Ming Yan would indeed damage her dignity, but compared to the endless humiliation she would suffer if Ming Yan and Gu Hanshuang joined forces, it was nothing at all...

Yu Mudan took a deep breath. Although she thought it was extremely shameful to sacrifice her beauty, she had no choice but to do something now that things had come to this.

They say a great man can bend and stretch, and so can a woman... Even if I suffer a little grievance now, when I humiliate Gu Hanshuang later, won't I be able to get my revenge?

With that thought in mind, Yu Mudan finally made up her mind!
