One of my fairy-like friends

“They can choose to leave or not, but you have no choice.” Huang Nishang twisted the hand that Ming Yan was holding, her jade fingers slipping between his fingers. She stared at Ming Yan and said, “This is your home, and I’m not going to let you leave.”

"So domineering?"

Huang Nishang's lips curled up slightly, it wasn't exactly a smile, but it was clear that she was quite happy.

An Ran and Ning Feixuan exchanged a glance. This guy was directly showing off his love in front of them.

Isn't this a bit inappropriate?

"You said you came to see me, is there something else?" Mingyan asked, recalling what Huang Nishang had said when she first arrived.

"I just... wanted to see you, and be with you..." Huang Nishang shook her head. What important thing could there be now? Being able to cultivate together was the most important thing.

Upon hearing this, Mingyan felt a surge of warmth in his heart. If Feixuan and Anran hadn't been there, Mingyan might have already carried Huang Nishang into the house.

————————————————————————

In the sacred land of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, Yue Qingyou is cultivating with her eyes closed.

She had long since reached the peak of the Human Realm and had been trying to break through to the Manifestation Realm. However, not everyone is like Yue Wuxia, who could break through to the Manifestation Realm in an era when the Great Dao was severely suppressed. The requirements for talent were too demanding, and a certain amount of luck was also needed. She probably would not have the opportunity to break through in this lifetime.

Although she knew she would stop here and was mentally prepared, how could she be willing to accept the thought that she would have no hope of breaking through in this life and be trapped in the Human Realm?

They were so close, they felt they had touched the boundary of sainthood, yet they could never cross it...

Yue Qingyou opened her eyes and slowly sighed.

Just then, Yue Qingyou sensed Yue Wuxia's presence. She raised an eyebrow. Hmm? Wuxia is back?

She quickly got up and went out of the house. Sure enough, Yue Wuxia was standing not far from the door.

Chapter 227 Martial Uncle, Be My Disciple's Wife

"Uncle-Master." Yue Wuxia nodded to Yue Qingyou. She did not bow, even though Yue Qingyou was of a higher seniority than her. After all, she was the Holy Lord, and Yue Qingyou did not need her to bow.

"Wuxia, you're back. Where are Mingyan and Qingying?" Yue Qingyou walked up with a smile. The two were dressed similarly, but their appearances were different and their personalities were also completely different.

"They haven't come back. I came back to talk to my martial uncle." Yue Wuxia said calmly. She had made an appointment with Ming Yan to ask him for help, but since one of them was in Fengling Yueying and the other was in the Huang family, they couldn't keep having Wang Qingchu pick them up and drop them off.

Therefore, Yue Wuxia entrusted Wang Qingchu to send her back. After dealing with Yue Qingyou, she planned to take her to the Huang family, which would also make it easier for Mingyan to act.

Yue Qingyou was somewhat surprised to hear this. She said, "Just say what's on your mind."

"..." Yue Wuxia shifted her gaze to the side. How could she say such a thing directly? Should she ask if she wanted to be her disciple's wife?

“My Martial Uncle’s cultivation has been stuck at the Human Welcome Realm for a long time.” Yue Wuxia’s gaze returned, and she said, “Perhaps there is a way to help my Martial Uncle break through to the Manifestation Saint Realm.”

"Oh? Tell me more." Yue Qingyou immediately became interested upon hearing this. Yue Wuxia was not a person who spoke carelessly; she spoke very tactfully. Generally, mentioning something likely meant that she already had a method, which made Yue Qingyou look forward to it.

"Uncle-Master should know that the Wind Spirit Scripture and the Moon Shadow Scripture complement each other, right?" Yue Wuxia remained silent for a while, then took a roundabout approach, not daring to say it directly.

"Hmm... do you mean I should just find someone who knows the *Wind Spirit Scripture* for dual cultivation?" Yue Qingyou frowned slightly upon hearing this. "While I want to break through, I don't think it requires going to this extent..."

"What if it's Yan'er?" Yue Wuxia hesitated for a moment before asking, "What if the person I cultivate with is Yan'er?"

"Yan'er? Why did you suddenly mention Yan'er?" Yue Qingyou actually liked Ming Yan quite a bit, because in her eyes, Ming Yan had always been a filial disciple. Well... although she discovered the relationship between Ming Yan and Yue Wuxia, it did not affect her opinion of Ming Yan. After all, what does it matter if they are master and disciple? Although outsiders might gossip, as long as they are both happy, that's all that matters.

But when Yue Wuxia mentioned dual cultivation and then mentioned Ming Yan, Yue Qingyou couldn't help but feel that it was a bit absurd.

"..." Yue Wuxia was silent for a moment, then said, "If the person you were cultivating with was Yan'er, would you agree?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Yan'er is your disciple and your husband. What kind of dual cultivation would I have with Yan'er?" Yue Qingyou rolled her eyes. "Strictly speaking, Yan'er and I are two generations apart."

“Yan’er not only cultivates the Wind Spirit Scripture, but he also possesses the Human King Physique. If Martial Uncle is willing to cultivate with Yan’er, he will surely be able to break through to the Manifestation Saint level.” Yue Wuxia said seriously, “Martial Uncle, please don’t think I’m joking.”

Yue Qingyou was somewhat amused and exasperated. "I know you're not joking, but why are you telling me this? Do you really think I would engage in dual cultivation with Yan'er for the sake of my cultivation level?"

“I hope you will do this.” Yue Wuxia was silent for a moment before saying, “Because if you, my martial uncle, cannot break through, your lifespan will only be four or five hundred years left… while I am a saint, and I will probably still be able to rely on Yan’er to continue breaking through in the future. My lifespan is still very long, and I don’t want you, my martial uncle, to leave me…”

Yue Qingyou rubbed her temples, paused for a moment, and then said, "Birth, aging, sickness, and death are inevitable for everyone. Even the Great Emperor will eventually die, let alone me. Besides, I've already lived enough..."

"Doesn't Master Uncle want to watch Mengli grow up? Doesn't Master Uncle want to see the world five hundred years from now?" Yue Wuxia walked in. "Master Uncle, there are still many people who care about you. I care about you, Qingying cares about you, Yan'er cares about you, and Mengli cares about you too. Are you willing to just leave us like this?"

"You make it sound like I'm about to die..." Yue Qingyou smiled helplessly. "Don't I still have five hundred years of lifespan left?"

"That's only if you're lucky enough to have a full five hundred years. If you're unlucky, you might only have two or three hundred years. It's not impossible," Yue Wuxia said, shaking her head.

"Are you cursing me?" Yue Qingyou rolled her eyes.

"...No." Yue Wuxia shook her head. "Uncle-Master, come with me to the Huang family."

"You really intend for me to cultivate with Yan'er?" Yue Qingyou asked, somewhat puzzled. "How am I supposed to face Yan'er? How am I supposed to face Meng Li? Meng Li really likes her senior brother."

Given that traitor's character, he'll definitely want them all... not a single one will escape.

"Uncle-Master, do you dislike Yan'er?"

"Of course I don't dislike it." Yue Qingyou shook her head. "However, that doesn't mean I can accept dual cultivation with Yan'er..."

“If you don’t dislike it, you’ll eventually come to like it, Uncle-Master. Are you willing to make a bet with me?” Yue Wuxia insisted, while Yue Qingyou had a terrible headache. “Why should I bet with you?”

"If I win, Martial Uncle, please don't resist anymore. If I lose, I will never mention this matter again," Yue Wuxia said earnestly.

"...What are we betting on?"

"I'll bet you'll fall for Yan'er," Yue Wuxia said. If Mingyan couldn't win over her martial uncle, no one else could either. Besides, who else could help her martial uncle break through besides Mingyan? So if her martial uncle wasn't won over by that traitorous disciple in the end, she wouldn't have persisted in the first place.

"..." Yue Qingyou rubbed her temples. "Does Yan'er know about these things?"

"I know, I've already told him."

"So, this is your idea?" Yue Qingyou lowered her hand, looking at Yue Wuxia, somewhat speechless. "Didn't you consider that if Yan'er and I really got together, your relationship with him would become awkward? The generations would be messed up. I'm your senior uncle, you're his master, and I'm with him..."

"It doesn't matter. If that day ever comes, I'll call him what I want, and he'll call me what he wants." Yue Wuxia didn't care; seniority was a trivial matter.

"...What is Yan'er's attitude towards this matter?" Yue Qingyou asked.

Yue Wuxia said, "He also found it strange at first, but I convinced him, and he is willing to try to pursue his master."

"..." Yue Qingyou was completely speechless. "How did you become a matchmaker, trying to set Yan'er up with someone?"

"So, Uncle-Master has agreed?" Yue Wuxia asked in return.

"..." Yue Qingyou's feelings were complicated. If it were any other man, she would refuse without hesitation, but if it were Yan'er...

No, that's precisely because it's Yan'er that I can't accept it...

Looking into Yue Wuxia's expectant eyes, she remained silent for a moment. She knew Yue Wuxia didn't want to die young; she understood Yue Wuxia's thoughts, but this kind of thing...

Shall we gamble?

It's just a gamble, and besides, I'm not actually against Yan'er...

If she and Yan'er can't spark any romance, Wuxia will naturally give up. But if she really develops feelings for Yan'er... well, that doesn't seem so bad, does it?

Chapter 228 Yue Qingyou Agreed

After a moment of silence, Yue Qingyou finally nodded.

Seeing Yue Qingyou nod, Yue Wuxia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her martial aunt didn't dislike her, the rest was up to that rebellious disciple...

"Then, Martial Uncle, come with me to the Huang family. You don't need to worry about Feng Lingyueying; Yan'er's sister will take care of her for us," Yue Wuxia said. Since she had agreed, they should hurry to the Huang family and get that rebellious disciple to start his conquest.

"Why are you in such a hurry..." Yue Qingyou said, somewhat amused. "Before leaving, I should at least give some instructions to the elders below. Also, I can't leave Mengli here unattended; I need to take her with me later."

If Liu Mengli can't find her, she'll definitely be worried.

When she heard that her martial uncle wanted to bring Liu Mengli along, Yue Wuxia did not refuse. She could understand Yue Qingyou's idea, after all, she was also a master.

After saying that, Yue Qingyou turned around and went to deal with these matters. Yue Wuxia waited in place. Before long, Yue Qingyou finished dealing with the matters and returned with Liu Mengli.

Upon seeing Yue Wuxia, Liu Mengli quickly bowed. This was her senior brother's master and the Holy Lord of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land, so she should naturally pay her respects.

Yue Wuxia nodded slightly. Perhaps it was because she loved the house and its crows, but Yue Qingyou and Mingyan both cared about Liu Mengli, so her attitude towards Liu Mengli was also quite good.

Moreover, Liu Mengli's aptitude for cultivation is quite good, in some ways almost comparable to Ming Yan's. Yue Wuxia is someone who cherishes talent.

————————————————————————————

Because An Ran was present, Ming Yan did not directly carry Huang Ni Chang and Ning Fei Xuan to cultivate together. However, given An Ran's current affection for him, she certainly wouldn't refuse if he wanted to.

At this moment, Mingyan received a telepathic message from Yue Wuxia, who told him that she had brought Liu Mengli and Yue Qingyou and asked him to come over quickly.

Mingyan was a bit overwhelmed. He hadn't figured out how to face Yue Qingyou yet, so why was his master in such a hurry?

However, since his master had summoned him, he had to go.

Soon, Mingyan returned to the courtyard where he lived with his senior sister and master. If nothing unexpected happened, the Supreme Elder and his junior sister would also live here.

As soon as Mingyan entered the courtyard, he saw his master, the Supreme Elder, and his junior sister standing together. Upon seeing Mingyan, his junior sister Liu Mengli immediately beamed with joy and ran over quickly, "Senior brother!"

In fact, Liu Mengli hadn't figured out the situation yet. Yue Qingyou just told her to go to a certain place and then brought her to Yue Wuxia. After waiting for a while, her senior brother's sister, Wang Qingchu, suddenly appeared, and in the blink of an eye, they appeared here.

But it doesn't matter at this moment. Since my senior brother is here, it doesn't matter where we are.

Liu Mengli rushed into Mingyan's arms. Mingyan instinctively hugged her and pulled her up, then said with some surprise, "Mengli, have you grown taller again?"

Mingyan remembered that when he last saw Liu Mengli, she looked like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Now, only a few months later, she looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. Why did time pass so quickly for her?

"Really? I can't feel it. But it's good to grow up early." Liu Mengli said with a grin. She wrapped her legs around Mingyan's waist and her arms around his neck, hanging on him like a little wombat.

Mingyan was surprised. If he waited a few more months, would Liu Mengli be about the same age as him?

At this moment, Mingyan received a telepathic message from Wang Qingchu: "Your junior sister is really strange. She has nothing wrong with her body, but her growth rate is extraordinary. You don't need to worry. Her body and cultivation are fine, and her foundation is very solid."

"Can't you see anything strange, sister?" Mingyan frowned. How could such a strange thing happen?

Looking at Ming Yan, Yue Qingyou blushed and looked away. Recalling Yue Wuxia's absurd words, she felt ashamed. She and Ming Yan were two generations apart, yet Yue Wuxia wanted to force them together.

Upon hearing Ming Yan's words, Yue Wuxia looked at Liu Mengli deeply again, and then frowned slightly.

She hadn't noticed it before, but now, upon closer inspection, Yue Wuxia also noticed the anomaly. She remembered that when she last saw Liu Mengli, Liu Mengli looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, but now she was already a graceful young woman.

"Uncle-Master, why has Mengli grown up so quickly?" Yue Wuxia asked Yue Qingyou beside her.

"I don't know either. I just feel like Mengli has grown up in the blink of an eye." Hearing Yue Wuxia's question, Yue Qingyou, who was feeling shy, came back to her senses and shook her head. "But I checked her body and didn't find anything wrong. It shouldn't be a bad thing, right? Besides, I think Mengli actually wants to grow up."

After saying that, Yue Qingyou looked at Mingyan. Liu Mengli never hid her feelings for Mingyan. In front of Yue Qingyou, Liu Mengli often mentioned Mingyan and her senior brother. Perhaps in Liu Mengli's heart, she had long wanted to marry Mingyan.

Although Mingyan found it strange, since his sister said that his junior sister's body was fine, he temporarily put aside his worries. He looked at Yue Qingyou and called out with a smile, "Aunt Yue."

Upon hearing Ming Yan's address, Yue Wuxia couldn't help but glance at Ming Yan. Aunt Yue? Does this rebellious disciple really consider himself his peer?

Yue Qingyou nodded. Because of what Yue Wuxia had mentioned earlier, Yue Qingyou was a little afraid to look Mingyan in the eye. It was all Wuxia's fault, making her feel ashamed to face Mingyan. Thinking of this, Yue Qingyou couldn't help but give Yue Wuxia a resentful look.
