One of my fairy-like friends

Mingyan had heard Bai Ze mention this before, and thinking about it now, this must be what Feng Shiyi meant when she said a long time ago, "I will die if I'm not by your side"...

Not only will he die, but she will die too, because in the future that Bai Ze saw, Ming Yan died, and the Empress also died in battle because she was no match for the invaders from the outer realms. This time, the scale of the invasion is far greater than ever before.

And if Ming Yan is alive, it means that Wang Qingchu can be resurrected, and even Ming Huiyin can be resurrected...

Mingyan snapped out of his daze and said, "Senior Bai Ze, I'll take my leave now."

"Hmm..." Bai Ze nodded. After Ming Yan left, Bai Ze pondered his words for a moment, then closed her eyes, trying to see her future...

But it was still shrouded in mist, and nothing could be seen.

She opened her eyes, hesitated briefly, and then looked at Mingyan's future again...

This time, she made a different discovery.

Although she still wasn't there, after searching carefully for a long time, she discovered some gaps...

Someone did something, but their existence cannot be observed...

Upon closer inspection, this unobservable person's trajectory largely overlaps with hers...

She was taken aback, then tried to look at Gu Hanshuang and Yu Mudan's future, and discovered the same problem; it seemed that there was an unobservable person who had always been there...

Could she actually see her own future?

She tried to predict her future, but because it was impossible to observe, she could only search for clues in the gaps between fragments of the future, making it very difficult to reconstruct it. After trying for a while, Bai Ze gave up...

This is too difficult, and even if she could observe it, she couldn't easily change the future...

In particular, the future has already entered the optimal world line.

Chapter 254 At worst, I'll just consider it as being chewed by a dog.

After leaving Bai Ze, Ming Yan originally intended to go straight back, but halfway there he changed his mind and turned to walk towards Huang Feiyan's residence.

Huang Feiyan was actually quite idle at home. She didn't need to cultivate at all. Phoenix's strength was constantly recovering, and as her cultivation level increased, the recovery speed also increased. She had already reached the peak of Taiyi.

Not to mention, when it comes to cultivation, how can anyone compare to cultivating with Ming Yan?

What era are we living in? Why are we still using traditional methods of cultivating immortality?

Now that Huang Feiyan has nothing to do, she chats with Phoenix. Phoenix is ​​too lazy to pay attention to Huang Feiyan, but he has to, otherwise this crazy woman will pull her out to control her body at certain times... Being able to control one's body is naturally a good thing, but if it happens at certain times, it's not so nice.

Today, Huang Feiyan was chatting with Phoenix again. Huang Feiyan was quite curious about Phoenix's life before he became emperor. When Phoenix talked about his glorious history, he seemed quite willing to listen.

She had endured countless hardships and wanderings on her journey, only to finally achieve the throne and look down upon the world. This was the greatest affirmation for her, so when Huang Feiyan asked, Phoenix didn't mind talking about it.

Mingyan quietly approached, wanting to surprise Huang Feiyan, but found her with her eyes closed as if she were cultivating. He then quietly entered the room.

However, Phoenix quickly discovered Mingyan's presence. Although she shared a body with Huang Feiyan, they were essentially one body with two souls. Her divine soul was far stronger and more perceptive than Huang Feiyan's, so she stopped and told Huang Feiyan.

Huang Feiyan opened her eyes and was pleasantly surprised to see Ming Yan. She quickly ran over and threw herself into his arms, "Ming Yan! What brings you here?"

Mingyan smiled somewhat helplessly, "Although I did intend to give you a little surprise, your reaction makes me feel a little guilty, as if... you had no idea I would come..."

"Who told you to have so many people to keep up with these days? I don't even know when it will be my turn!" Huang Feiyan pouted.

Mingyan put his arm around Huang Feiyan's slender waist, pulled her into his embrace, and sighed softly, "I'm sorry to have wronged you."

"I'm not wronged." Huang Feiyan smiled and pursed her lips. "I've already accepted the fact that other people are by your side, so what's there to feel wronged about? Even if I am, since I promised you I wouldn't care about those things, I won't show it."

"So you mean you're still feeling wronged?" Mingyan couldn't help but chuckle. Wasn't this a roundabout way of saying that he was actually still feeling wronged?

"I didn't say that." Huang Feiyan blinked innocently. "Don't misunderstand, okay?"

Mingyan sighed softly, "I'm sorry..."

"Don't apologize, I really don't feel wronged." Huang Feiyan smiled slightly. "We have a long future ahead of us, plenty of time to spend together..."

Yes, the future is still long... Mingyan put his arm around Huang Feiyan and said, "Are you and Phoenix still communicating recently?"

“Yes, we talk often.” Huang Feiyan nodded. “Phoenix usually ignores me, but when it comes to her life before she became emperor, she is willing to speak up.”

Mingyan smiled and asked, "Have you and her come up with a solution to your current problems?"

Huang Feiyan has completely separated and is no longer part of the Phoenix's memory. The two are considered the same person, but in Mingyan's eyes, they are not the same person. This situation does not seem to be a solution.

“We’ve discussed this issue. She believes this body is hers, and I believe this body is mine. Neither of us is willing to back down, so we can only maintain the status quo.” Huang Feiyan shrugged helplessly. She wasn’t interested in the phoenix’s cultivation level, since she still had Ming Yan, so cultivation wasn’t an issue. She just felt that her body shouldn’t be handed over to someone else, and she didn’t want to.

Mingyan said, "Maintaining the status quo won't work..."

Mingyan didn't want a phoenix to suddenly appear halfway through like before. Although he was bold enough, it was still very frustrating for him to lose interest halfway through.

"But we don't have a good solution either," Huang Feiyan said helplessly. "Unless we can split ourselves in two like the Empress... but splitting ourselves in two, frankly speaking, we're still not complete individuals..."

The Empress split into two people, but Huang Feiyan and the Phoenix were completely different. They were originally two people. Separating their physical bodies was not a good thing. Even someone as powerful as her mother could not exert her full strength if her physical body was incomplete.

Therefore, this solution is definitely not a perfect solution...

In fact, both Mingyan and Huang Feiyan had a relatively ideal solution...

That is to make the phoenix a daughter-like being...

Huang Feiyan can nurture the phoenix as a new life. If she is born, she will have a more powerful talent than a pure-blooded phoenix. However, this requires the phoenix's consent, because this is a life created based on her, not a forced replacement after the fetus is formed. Therefore, if she does not agree, there is no condition for creating a new life.

But how could Phoenix be willing to hand over the achievements it had made after so many years of wandering?

Mingyan was silent for a moment, then said, "Let Phoenix come out. I'll talk to her myself and see if I can persuade her."

Huang Feiyan nodded. She wasn't wearing a flower wreath at the moment, so her expression changed the next moment, and she became cold.

"I will not give up this physical body. It is my body, and it is also my cultivation. I can accept sharing all of this with Huang Feiyan, but I cannot accept handing it over to her, no matter what." The phoenix clearly knew what the two were talking about; after all, without the suppression of the flower wreath, the phoenix could clearly sense what was happening outside...

Mingyan opened his mouth, but before I could even speak, you were already shutting me down.

However, Mingyan was not one to give up so easily. He adjusted his mindset and said, "This matter has to be resolved eventually. I don't want you to jump out at me again at certain times."

"It's not like I wanted to take control of my body." Phoenix's eyes widened in anger. She was furious just thinking about it. That crazy woman, Huang Feiyan, must have some serious illness...

“...You don’t want things to continue like this, do you?” Mingyan was somewhat speechless. He shrugged. “It has to be resolved eventually.”

"If you want me to give up my physical body and cultivation, I'd rather be replaced..." Phoenix snorted coldly. "Anyway, this physical body is no longer clean. If I'm replaced, I might as well consider it as being chewed up by a dog."

Chapter 255 You're Always There

“…” Ming Yan frowned and said, “You should know very well that if it were my child with Fei Yan, their talent would be terrifying.”

Phoenix sneered, "I, a great emperor, am not only going to hand over my physical body and cultivation to someone else, but also become the daughter of the enemy who stole my body and cultivation. I am not that magnanimous."

"Don't talk about enemies, I'm just offering a solution." Mingyan shrugged.

"This is fine for now. I said I don't mind sharing my body and cultivation with Huang Feiyan." Phoenix also calmed down a bit, and she gave a soft hum.

“I mind!” Mingyan rolled his eyes. “You say it’s your physical body, but you seem to have forgotten that although it’s your blood, Feiyan was born from her mother’s own flesh and blood. From the moment she lost consciousness, it was Feiyan’s physical body. You did indeed undergo Nirvana, but what is undergoing Nirvana is your soul, not your physical body. Your physical body has long since disintegrated.”

The phoenix has no physical body, because in the final moments of her life, she created the Phoenix Clan and transformed into rain, forming the Phoenix Blood Pool as it exists today.

Phoenix remained unmoved, saying, "I will not agree to anything you say."

Mingyan sighed, "You're so stubborn..."

“I will not back down on this matter, it’s different from other issues.” Phoenix frowned and said seriously, “I think my acceptance of sharing my physical body and cultivation with Huang Feiyan is already the most ideal solution. I hope to maintain the status quo and not make any further changes.”

"Don't you think this is very inconvenient?" Mingyan said helplessly.

"Then why don't you make Huang Feiyan give up her position? Her cultivation level isn't high right now. With your abilities, you can easily help her reach her current level in the future," Phoenix suddenly said.

Mingyan glared at Phoenix, "Are you crazy? Feiyan is my wife, and you want my wife to be my daughter?"

"It's not impossible," Phoenix shrugged.

Mingyan rolled his eyes. Phoenix was still as stubborn as ever, yet in this matter, she held the real power, and Mingyan couldn't do anything about it for the time being...

"Bring Fei Yan out. I want her to impersonate you," Ming Yan sneered.

"...Are you sick?" Phoenix was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then her face flushed slightly, and she said angrily, "Is this all you can do to vent your anger?"

Ming Yan sneered, "Then why don't you come in person if you're so capable?"

Mingyan couldn't stand Fenghuang's stubbornness and had to teach her a lesson.

Phoenix took a deep breath. When her cultivation was still low, she had also heard similar vulgar words, but later, those who dared to say such things all met a miserable end. And when she became stronger, all she received was respect and hostility. No one dared to treat her with such contempt.

What's infuriating is that she can't do anything about Ming Yan. Not only will Ming Yan's cultivation level likely be no weaker than hers in her complete form by the time she recovers her strength, but he also has someone like Wang Qingchu by his side...

Out of sight, out of mind. Phoenix directly returned control of the body to Huang Feiyan, who did not refuse and took over the physical body.

When Huang Feiyan woke up, she chuckled, then put the emerald green flower wreath back on and laughed out loud, "Phoenix is ​​almost driven mad by you! She'd love to skin you alive!"

Mingyan smiled and said, "She should be annoyed... However, this matter is still not resolved."

Mingyan had a bit of a headache. This phoenix... well, at least maintaining the status quo wasn't entirely unacceptable.

"Don't rush." ​​Huang Feiyan gently embraced Mingyan and smiled, "Take your time, Phoenix will accept it eventually, we have plenty of time."

Mingyan pursed his lips and nodded.

"Then let's begin. Treat me like a phoenix, don't be shy." Huang Feiyan smiled charmingly.

——————————————————————————————————————

Solo cultivation isn't fast, so soon, Huang Ni Chang and Huang Jun Yi joined in.

Mingyan actually found it quite interesting; it seemed like Ni Chang was always present whenever multiple people were cultivating together.

You're there for every silver peep!

With Huang Ni Chang and Huang Jun Yi joining, it will naturally be quite helpful for Ming Yan's cultivation improvement.

The aunt didn't join in, after all, Mingyan hadn't officially taken the final step with Huang Qingfei yet, and it would be somewhat inappropriate to engage in multi-person cultivation on the first try.

After leaving the Huang family, Mingyan returned to the courtyard where Feng Lingyueying lived. He originally wanted to go back to see his mother, but he stopped halfway there and then headed towards Yue Qingyou's residence.

Yue Qingyou is living with Liu Mengli. The Supreme Elder must be waiting for her these days, but because of her mother, she really hasn't had much time. She also spent some time cultivating with everyone else...

She's probably sulking because she hasn't visited the Supreme Elder in so long.

Mingyan arrived at the door of Yue Qingyou and Liu Mengli's room, and knocked. Soon, Liu Mengli peeked out, and upon seeing Mingyan, she quickly opened the door, "Senior brother! Come in quickly! Come in quickly!"

Mingyan patted her head, smiled slightly, and went inside.

Then he saw Yue Qingyou sitting cross-legged, with her back to Mingyan.

Mingyan blinked. The Supreme Elder must know he had come. Was she turning her back to him to tell him that she had some feelings about what he had made her wait for so long?
