One of my fairy-like friends

Upon hearing Ming Huiyin's words, Ming Yan opened his mouth, unsure of what to say...

He was special, the one who was spoiled... It was one thing for his other siblings, since Mingyan hadn't seen them in person, but his sister had been with him for so long and treated him so well. His mother's evaluation of his sister still made Mingyan feel a little sad...

He shook his head, avoiding the topic, and asked, "What state is Mother in now? Since she can control your body..."

“This is just an incomplete wisp of soul…” Ming Huiyin shook her head. “I was trapped inside. My complete soul couldn’t leave; I could only leave by separating a fragment of my soul, and that was only because you brought my physical body back…”

"A remnant soul?" Ming Yan blinked.

"Hmm... what you see now is not the complete me. I lack many memories, and in fact, I cannot fully control this body at all. But it doesn't matter, because although I am just a remnant soul, I remember everything about you." Ming Huiyin smiled.

Chapter 236 Sister and Mother

Ming Huiyin withdrew her hand, stood up from the coffin, and stepped out. She grasped Ming Yan's hand and said, "The rest of your soul is still trapped inside. Sending out my part has exhausted me, and I have fallen into a deep sleep again. I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up before you become an emperor."

Upon hearing this news, Mingyan didn't know whether to be happy or sad...

Seeing Ming Yan's downcast expression, Ming Huiyin smiled and said, "Don't be so sad. I'm behind the door and in front of you. To me, this is the real me. The complete me is just someone with those insignificant memories from the past. Just think of me as someone who came out and then lost my memory, only remembering things about you. That's all."

Hearing Ming Huiyin say this, Ming Yan felt a little better. He let out a long breath and asked, "Then, Mother... do you still remember what happened to my sister?"

“Wang Qingchu? I remember her. After all, she was a defective product I created to make you. She’s related to you. Besides, didn’t you like her quite a bit?” When Ming Huiyin heard about Wang Qingchu, her words were devoid of emotion, flat and indifferent, as if she were talking about an object. This was completely different from her attitude towards Ming Yan.

"...Does Mother dislike Sister?" Mingyan couldn't help but ask. In the future, Sister and Mother would definitely see each other often, so they couldn't always have this attitude, right?

"Dislike? I wouldn't say dislike." Ming Huiyin smiled. "To me, it doesn't matter what she does... but I'm quite satisfied that she stayed and protected you."

When the topic came up, Ming Huiyin's attitude improved considerably.

Mingyan then said, "My sister has always been very good to me. She taught me the family tradition, guided me forward, and even exchanged greetings with me... She also respects Mother..."

Ming Huiyin stared at Ming Yan for a while, then cupped his face in her hands and smiled, "Do you not want me to argue or fight with her?"

“...I just hope that you can get along well, after all, my sister is also my mother’s daughter…” Mingyan said.

Ming Huiyin was almost the same height as Ming Yan. She held Ming Yan's face in her hands, her expression gentle and doting. This intimate feeling was very much in line with Ming Yan's imagination of his mother. This kind of maternal love was not hidden at all, but was shown to Ming Yan in a straightforward and unrestrained way.

“Yan’er…” Ming Huiyin frowned slightly, “I’ve said it before, you are my only child, they are not my children…including Wang Qingchu…”

Seeing his mother frown, Mingyan felt a pang in his heart. Her face was so beautiful, and as his mother, any expression she made would affect Mingyan. He subconsciously wanted to smooth her slightly furrowed brows, but hearing Ming Huiyin's words, Mingyan felt a pang of sadness.

“However, in my eyes, although she is not my child, she has been with you for so long. Whether you like her, treat her as a sister or a wife, it doesn’t matter to me.” Ming Huiyin smiled and said, “Although she is not my child, she can be my child’s sister or my daughter-in-law.”

“…” Mingyan should have been happy, but after hearing these words, he didn’t know what to say for a moment. He shook his head and asked, “Mother said before that she couldn’t control this body very well. Will there be any problems?”

“There’s nothing seriously wrong, it’s just that I can’t unleash my full potential… and this body isn’t complete either…” Ming Huiyin shook her head. “It’s probably similar to Wang Qingchu, that’s all.”

That's all...? My sister's physical body is already comparable to that of a Great Emperor, isn't it? Mingyan remained silent for a moment. Perhaps only his mother had the right to say such a thing. After all, she was the one who created the current cultivation system, and her strength probably surpassed that of a normal Great Emperor, right?

"Is Mother's strength already surpassing that of the Great Emperor?" Mingyan asked curiously.

“...I have no memory of that.” Ming Huiyin shook her head. “That kind of thing doesn’t matter…I’ll find out after I become an Emperor.”

Is this what Mother meant before? She only kept the memories related to him, and nothing else... Mingyan originally had many questions he wanted to ask, but now he could only give up.

My current state is somewhat like that of Feng Shiyi. I have an immortal physical body, but I lack the corresponding Dao and Dharma, so I cannot unleash the original power of this body. However, as my mother said, it doesn't matter.

Mingyan glanced at the wall; behind the door was only silence. He took a deep breath. "Mother, let's go back. I want to introduce you to the people around me... some I've talked to you about before, and some I haven't..."

"Hmm... let's go..." Ming Huiyin smiled. Although she had no interest in those people, she would extend her affection to Ming Yan as long as he liked them.

In some ways, Wang Qingchu and Ming Huiyin were similar in this respect.

Mingyan put away the crystal coffin and then sent a telepathic message to Wang Qingchu. However, this time Wang Qingchu did not appear immediately, but waited for a while before appearing before the two of them.

Wang Qingchu glanced at Ming Huiyin. She had been watching the situation from outside. After the period of reflection, she was no longer surprised by Ming Huiyin's awakening. However, she had also heard what Ming Yan said to Ming Huiyin.

After a brief silence, Wang Qingchu slowly knelt down and bowed slightly to Ming Huiyin. Then she stood up and said calmly, "I know you don't see me as your daughter, but it doesn't matter to me. As long as Yan'er considers me his older sister, that's enough. I'm only kneeling to thank you for creating me... and also to thank you for making me Yan'er's older sister."

However, Wang Qingchu later added in a separate telepathic message, "But I'll still have the chance to call you 'Mother' in the future."

Ming Huiyin's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded gently without saying anything more. After all, Ming Yan still liked Wang Qingchu, and she wouldn't want to embarrass Wang Qingchu.

Mingyan, upon hearing his sister's words, didn't know what to say... This family is making such a fuss...

After seeing Ming Huiyin nod, Wang Qingchu smiled slightly and looked at Ming Yan, "Let's go home, Yan'er..."

"Hmm..." Mingyan nodded, and then Wang Qingchu stepped forward and took Mingyan's other hand. Mingyan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already at the Huang family...

Wang Qingchu released Mingyan and smiled, "You should introduce your mother to the others. Come find me after you've finished."

Mingyan nodded, and Wang Qingchu turned and left. Mingyan looked at Ming Huiyin and smiled, "Mother, I'll take you to see my master! She's the best master in the world!"

Chapter 237 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Meet

Ming Huiyin was being led by Ming Yan. When she saw Ming Yan turn around, she smiled and nodded.

In fact, Ming Huiyin had little interest in anything except Ming Yan, but seeing Ming Yan so enthusiastic about introducing her to the people around him, she naturally wouldn't refuse him.

She is interested in learning about things that her child is interested in or likes, even if she herself has no interest in these things.

Mingyan took his mother's hand and led her to Yue Wuxia's door. He pushed the door open and went inside.

Inside the room, Yue Wuxia was meditating. She sensed Ming Yan entering and slowly opened her eyes. Immediately, her gaze was drawn to Ming Huiyin.

This woman...?

Yue Wuxia found it difficult to describe the scene she saw in words; even the most beautiful sights she had ever seen could not compare to her beauty.

The allure of this beauty transcends gender; anyone who sees Ming Huiyin for the first time will be awestruck by her beauty...

However, Yue Wuxia quickly came to her senses because she felt a strong sense of oppression... This feeling was similar to the feeling Feng Shiyi gave her. Even though she could not sense any cultivation level from her, nor could she sense the powerful aura similar to that of Wang Qingchu, when she stood there, it was as if she were a mountain that could never be seen from above, standing between heaven and earth. That strong sense of oppression made Yue Wuxia feel a little breathless.

Yue Wuxia was almost certain that this person's strength far surpassed hers, having reached a level she would likely never be able to reach in her lifetime.

Who is she? Why is Mingyan holding her hand?

These were all Yue Wuxia's feelings in a fleeting moment, but in the blink of an eye, Ming Yan hadn't even spoken yet.

"Mother, this is my master." Ming Yan introduced her to Ming Huiyin with a smile, "She is the best master in the world!"

Mother...? Yue Wuxia suddenly remembered that Mingyan had talked about "mother". His mother seemed to be trapped somewhere. When he occasionally talked about "mother", Mingyan would feel a little lost.

Long ago, Mingyan even regarded her as a mother figure deep in his heart, but at that time, Mingyan didn't even know he had such a mother...

However, after learning that his mother was still alive, Mingyan rarely showed such emotions anymore...

Sometimes Yue Wuxia wasn't sure whether she liked or disliked the role that Mingyan had once regarded as his mother. But when she learned that Mingyan's mother was still alive, while she was happy for Mingyan, she probably also felt a little bit of disappointment.

But that's all in the past...

After all, she's now this traitor's woman...

Yue Wuxia came to her senses and noticed that Ming Huiyin was calmly looking at her.

Her eyes were unfathomable, and her dark pupils seemed to devour light, making Yue Wuxia feel a chill run down her spine. She felt like prey being watched, unable to move a muscle.

"Master?" Ming Yan was a little puzzled when he saw Yue Wuxia staring blankly at Ming Huiyin. Why was his master acting like this when he saw his mother? He called out to Yue Wuxia, and only then did Yue Wuxia come back to her senses. When she looked at Ming Huiyin again, she found that Ming Huiyin's gaze had returned to Ming Yan, and she was looking at Ming Yan sideways.

Yue Wuxia could see that her gaze was different from the uncomfortable look she had given her earlier. The way she looked at Ming Yan was no different from that of a mother in the mortal world who excessively spoils her child.

Yue Wuxia snapped out of her daze, realizing she had perhaps acted somewhat inappropriately. She quickly stood up, walked to the two women, and solemnly bowed to Ming Huiyin, saying, "Greetings, Mother..."

Ming Huiyin's gaze shifted to Yue Wuxia again. She could naturally sense that Yue Wuxia was no longer a virgin. Her body was almost entirely imbued with Ming Yan's aura. Clearly, she was Ming Yan's woman and could be considered his daughter-in-law.

In Ming Huiyin's view, Yue Wuxia's cultivation level was too weak. If she had lived normally until now, such a person would never have come into Ming Yan's sight. However, she couldn't have been with Ming Yan since his childhood, and for Ming Yan, she was a very important master...

Mingyan couldn't help but chuckle to himself as he heard his master bow solemnly. His master really did seem a bit like a daughter-in-law...

"No need for formalities." Ming Huiyin nodded. "Since you call me Mother, it means you acknowledge your identity. I hope you can stay with Yan'er and not make him sad."

Ming Huiyin's voice was like celestial music, but it left Yue Wuxia with a somewhat unpleasant feeling, because she sensed a condescending attitude in it.

Unlike Wang Qingchu, Ming Huiyin held an unshakable position in the heart of this rebellious disciple. However, Wang Qingchu would not put pressure on her as a family member. Even when their views clashed, Wang Qingchu simply did not interfere much in her relationship with Ming Yan.

But the "mother" before her... Yue Wuxia had a feeling that if her views clashed with hers in some way, she probably wouldn't give her a friendly look...

I've heard that the relationship between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law is one of the most difficult to manage in the mortal world. I never thought I'd be in that situation myself.

Yue Wuxia slowly raised her head and nodded gently.

Mingyan smiled and said, "Mother, don't be so serious. We are family."

Ming Huiyin's gaze returned to Ming Yan, her eyes overflowing with doting affection. "Hmm... I'll be careful..."

Yue Wuxia breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ming Huiyin seemed to care a lot about this rebellious disciple. As long as Ming Yan didn't show any bias, he should be able to balance this difficult mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship.

Indeed, we should trust this traitor. Yue Wuxia came to her senses and felt much more relieved.

Ming Yan pulled Ming Huiyin to sit down, and then beckoned to Yue Wuxia, indicating that Yue Wuxia should sit on the other side next to him. Yue Wuxia did not refuse, and the three of them sat down and chatted for a while.

Ming Huiyin didn't speak first; her gaze remained fixed on Ming Yan as she listened with a smile to Ming Yan and Yue Wuxia's conversation.

Mingyan also felt a little strange. He had seen his mother once before. At that time, his mother was dressed in black and never smiled. Now, her beautiful eyes looked lifeless back then, a world of difference from now. The only thing that was the same was the love she showed for him.

Mother has said that this is a remnant soul that only retains memories related to him. So, although the complete Mother loves him, she might not show it so openly. Perhaps she would restrain herself a little.

Chapter 238 Mother and Daughter Confrontation

Ming Yan left Yue Wuxia's place with Ming Huiyin, and then went to see his senior sister.

When Yue Qingying saw Ming Huiyin, her reaction was similar to that of Yue Wuxia. Both of them stared at Ming Huiyin, somewhat stunned. Their mother's beauty was too captivating, appealing to both men and women.

However, when Mingyan revealed Ming Huiyin's identity to Yue Qingying, her senior sister was not as composed as her master. She bowed somewhat flusteredly, but for some reason, Mingyan couldn't quite put his finger on whether it was just his imagination, but he felt that his mother's attitude towards his senior sister was more affectionate than her attitude towards their master...

Mingyan didn't dare ask, after all, what if it was just her imagination? What if her mother mistook it for her master's message saying that she treated her master worse than her senior sister? Wouldn't her mother think her master was petty...?

Mingyan was actually prepared that taking his mother to meet his family might trigger some conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but fortunately, that didn't happen.

However, now that his mother is living with him, some problems will likely arise in the future... Mingyan can actually sense that his mother is different from his sister; he feels... his mother's possessiveness towards him is greater than his sister's...

As for the desire to control, Mingyan didn't feel it much. Even if his mother did have some desire to control him, she didn't show it.

After that, Mingyan naturally took his mother to meet the other people.

Aunt Ning, Fei Xuan, Fei Yan, Fairy Sister, Little Aunt, and Ni Chang.

When Ming Yan went to find Ning Mengru and Ning Feixuan, the two happened to be together. The master and disciple were equally surprised to see Ming Yan leading a strange woman in, and were still trying to guess Ming Huiyin's identity...

Ning Mengru thought that Mingyan had found another woman somewhere, and she was a little jealous. What did he want to do by coming to her door hand in hand?

But after learning that she was Ming Huiyin, Ming Yan's mother, she was shocked. Ning Mengru was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole. Luckily, she didn't send a telepathic message to Ming Yan, or she would have been mortified.
