One of my fairy-like friends

As expected, Yue Qingyou finally broke through to the Manifestation Realm and became a saint.

Now, there's at least two thousand years left, so Master doesn't have to worry about Aunt Yue's lifespan running out...

Master's cultivation had already reached the edge of the Great Sage realm, and with the help of Yue Qingyou and Liu Mengli, she successfully broke through to the Great Sage realm.

After his breakthrough, Master's feelings were somewhat complicated...

Well, after nearly a thousand years of dedicated cultivation, he broke through to the level of a sage. He thought he would never be able to advance even half a step further in his life, and would never be able to touch the edge of a great sage. But unexpectedly, he broke through so easily.

How easy and enjoyable is it to cultivate with others? How slow and lonely is traditional cultivation? In comparison, she always felt that her nearly 1,000 years of cultivation before meeting Mingyan was worthless.

Senior Sister's cultivation has also improved. She and Mingyan had cultivated together many times before and had reached the edge of Taiyi. Now she has successfully broken through to the Divine Seal realm.

Mingyan's cultivation level has been continuously improving and will always be higher than Yue Qingying's. Therefore, for Yue Qingying, Mingyan's help to her will only be more than her help to Mingyan. This is why Yue Qingying never refuses to cultivate with multiple people. If she didn't do this, her help to Mingyan would not have been as important as before.

At this point, of all the women around Ming Yan, apart from Wang Qingchu and Ming Huiyin, who are two special individuals, only Feng Shiyi and the Empress are special individuals who could be considered as either two or one, and have never cultivated with Ming Yan.

Feng Shiyi had been following him around the whole time. She was a bit silly and clumsy, and a little clingy. To say he liked her that much would be a lie, but he did have a brotherly feeling towards his silly little sister...

I have a strange feeling that one day, something will happen between us.

As for the Empress, it seems that it's not something he can refuse.

Aside from Feng Shiyi and the Empress, there seems to be no one else...

Therefore, Mingyan is preparing to hold a wedding.

It's right here at the Huang family's residence, and there's no need to invite anyone else... nor can anyone else be invited. For example, Ning Mengru and Yue Wuxia, because of their special identities, cannot be told to the world that Ning Mengru is the Queen Mother of the West of Yaochi. They have to consider Yaochi's reputation to some extent.

As for Yue Wuxia, she is Mingyan's master after all. It's best not to spread the taboo relationship between master and disciple. Even though Yue Wuxia herself may not care at all... Mingyan still doesn't want her to be subjected to too much criticism. Besides, there's no need for other people to witness it.

To hold a wedding with one groom and a dozen or so brides...

However, before that, Mingyan needs to ask Yin Hanyan and Bai Ze for their thoughts.

Mingyan would of course ask for the opinions of others, but Yin Hanyan and Bai Ze were special cases.

Although they had consummated their marriage with Mingyan, their relationship, strictly speaking, wasn't very deep.

Therefore, Mingyan decided to talk to Yin Hanyan again.

Since the last time many people cultivated together, Yin Hanyan had actually returned to the Holy Yuan Dynasty once, and she entrusted Wang Qingchu to deliver it.

Her reason for returning was to tell the old Holy Emperor that she was ready to leave the Holy Yuan Dynasty.

After hearing Yin Hanyan's words, the old Holy Emperor did not show any particular surprise. He simply nodded slowly and sighed, "You have spent the best years of your life in the Holy Yuan Dynasty. It is time for you to leave and find your happiness. The so-called favors have long been settled. If you ask me, it is Yuyan who owes you a favor now. So don't be polite to her. Take care of her for me. When I am no longer able to support the dynasty, let her come back to take over the Holy Yuan."

Although they were husband and wife in name only, they had no feelings for each other. Yin Hanyan treated being Empress as a job, and the old Emperor had no other thoughts. However, when he was nearing the end of his life, he was still worried about Zhu Yuyan and couldn't bring himself to ask Yin Hanyan to leave. But now that Yin Hanyan had been taken to the Huang family and then personally sent back by Wang Qingchu, he didn't need to think too much to know that both Zhu Yuyan and Yin Hanyan probably had some kind of relationship with Mingyan. However, he had no objection to this. On the contrary, the old Emperor actually hoped that Yin Hanyan would pursue her own happiness.

Yin Hanyan remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly to him before turning and leaving.

From then on, the Shengyuan Dynasty had no more Empress Yin...

Not long after returning to the Huang family, Ming Yan came to visit.

"Your Majesty the Empress." Mingyan bowed to her, but Yin Hanyan smiled and dodged away. Mingyan winked at her.

"Don't call me Empress anymore. I'm no longer Empress. You should know that I've left the Holy Yuan Dynasty." Yin Hanyan smiled and said, "Besides, do you need to bow to me? Your cultivation is no worse than mine now, and your seniority is much higher than mine. In addition, we've already consummated our marriage... If anyone should bow, it should be me bowing to you."

Mingyan paused for a moment, then quickly waved his hand, "Don't bow to me, I don't have that habit... But...Is...Aunt Yin...leaving the Holy Yuan Dynasty?"

"Aunt Yin? That's a nice way to address you." Yin Hanyan smiled and said, "Otherwise, why would I stay in the Holy Yuan Dynasty after we've already consummated our marriage? Or do you have some special preference for other people's wives? Let me make it clear, the old Holy Emperor and I are only husband and wife in name. We've never even held hands. I can't satisfy your kind of desire."

Upon hearing this, Ming Yan's forehead immediately creased with annoyance. "I don't have that kind of hobby, it was just a bit of an accident..."

"What's so surprising? Aren't you going to take responsibility?" Yin Hanyan laughed, her smile alluring. She was a fox demon, naturally alluring, and the old Holy Emperor was indeed a "saint" in the mortal world. If he wasn't moved, at least Ming Yan's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

"Is Aunt Yin willing to let me take responsibility?" Mingyan asked.

"Don't think that just because I'm a fox demon, I'm easygoing. I'm actually a very traditional woman." Yin Hanyan's lips curled up slightly. She walked up to Ming Yan with her hands behind her back, leaned in slowly, and whispered in his ear, "Besides, such a handsome young man, I have no reason not to make him take responsibility, okay?"

After saying that, Yin Hanyan chuckled. Her eyes crinkled, and her smile was so charming and alluring that it made Ming Yan's heart tremble.

Good heavens, this Yin Hanyan is no less than the Fairy Sister from back then. Moreover, the Fairy Sister had phoenix blood flowing through her veins, while this Yin Hanyan is a pure-blooded fox spirit!

Of course, if Huang Junyi finds out, she'll definitely come and fight. So what if she's a vixen? She's still a "slut," and Ming Yan's "slut" is no less than her vixen!

“I will take responsibility,” Mingyan said with a smile.

"You can't avoid taking responsibility even if you want to." Yin Hanyan said with her hands behind her back and a bright smile.

Chapter 283 There Might Be More Brides

Seeing that she was in a good mood and judging from her tone, it didn't seem like she wanted to leave, so Mingyan went along with it and said, "Then... Aunt Yin, would you like to marry me?"

"...Marry you? Heh, there's probably a long line of people waiting to marry you, it's definitely not my turn." Yin Hanyan paused for a moment, then smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Even if Mingyan has feelings for her, it certainly wouldn't be to this extent. He loves so many people, how could he possibly favor a woman he's just started a relationship with?

"I want to have a wedding," Mingyan said with a smile. "There might be quite a few brides..."

"...Are you planning to...marry all the women you like?" Upon hearing this, Yin Hanyan immediately understood Ming Yan's meaning, and then looked at Ming Yan with a strange expression. "Are you really planning to do that?"

“Aunt Yin doesn’t seem to know me very well yet,” Mingyan said with a smile. “Holding this wedding is now a must. I’d like to know if Aunt Yin would be willing to join in.”

"...I..." Yin Hanyan looked at Ming Yan, momentarily at a loss for words. After a pause, she lowered her head and said, "I seem to be a little different from them. Between you and me, it seems..."

“We can get married first and then fall in love,” Mingyan said with a smile. “Since we’ve already done the things that should have been done last, getting married first and then falling in love doesn’t seem like a big deal, does it?”

"...Hehe." Yin Hanyan smiled, but then gradually fell silent. "Do you...really want to marry me?"

“Hmm…I have no doubt that I will fall in love with Aunt Yin in the future, so I will not regret it. But does Aunt Yin think the same way as me?” Mingyan smiled and said, “If Aunt Yin also thinks that there is a promising future for us, then getting married now is just bringing forward the wedding that was originally going to be held later. Doesn’t Aunt Yin think so?”

"...I can't tell if you're telling the truth or a lie...but...I want to believe it's the truth..." Yin Hanyan was actually a little nervous. Even though she had been empress for hundreds of years, she still felt an uncontrollable nervousness when the topic of marriage came up...

Mingyan reached out and took Yin Hanyan's hand, smiling as he said, "Please trust me, and trust your own judgment, Aunt Yin. I will make you happy."

"...Sigh, what if...I'm just saying what if, what if I regret it later?" Yin Hanyan lowered her head, looking at Ming Yan's hand holding her right hand, and asked.

"I won't let Aunt Yin have any regrets," Mingyan shook his head.

Hearing his extremely confident words, Yin Hanyan's lips couldn't help but curl upwards again, "Then... alright, I'm willing to marry you..."

Mingyan smiled. "From this day forward...you are my fiancée..."

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

Mingyan quickly told everyone about his plan to hold a wedding and asked for their consent.

After gaining the approval of Gu Hanshuang and Yin Hanyan, Yu Mudan also joined the group. With Yu Mudan's joining, Zhu Yuyan, who was already infatuated with Mingyan, naturally joined the group without hesitation.

Mingyan and Zhu Yuyan had a conversation.

When Mingyan came to Zhu Yuyan and asked her if she would marry him, she had already learned from Yu Mudan that Mingyan was holding a grand wedding with no outsiders present, and she had been waiting for Mingyan's arrival.

She didn't actually know if Mingyan would come to see her. Although she hoped he would, she couldn't control his thoughts, so Zhu Yuyan was actually a little uneasy.

Zhu Yuyan finally breathed a sigh of relief when Ming Yan actually appeared in front of her and asked her questions.

"I do!" Zhu Yuyan replied.

"...Once everything settles down, I will make up for what I owe you, doubly so," Ming Yan replied after hearing Zhu Yuyan's answer.

Zhu Yuyan smiled and shook her head, "You've never owed me anything; it was all done willingly by me."

Mingyan simply smiled and offered no explanation.

Later, Mingyan went to see Bai Ze again, and Bai Ze's reply to Mingyan was quite interesting.

She smiled and said, "I can see your future, and I can see myself in it, so there's no need for many words. I will marry you."

Bai Ze was decisive and straightforward, not even giving Ming Yan a chance to say much. Upon hearing this, Ming Yan could only open his mouth, then pursed his lips and smiled, "I will make up for the time we owe each other in the future."

Bai Ze chuckled. "I can see all of that."

Mingyan sighed, feeling like he had something to say but couldn't, and could only nod.

Then came the arrival of her senior sister, followed by Ning Feixuan, and An Ran and Huang Feiyan also joined in.

Huang Feiyan naturally wouldn't refuse, because no matter what, she was the unwavering mistress of the house...

As expected, Huang Ni Chang showed her unusually "cold" support for Ming Yan's grand wedding, and Huang Jun Yi and Huang Qing Fei also joined in.

Seeing this, Ning Mengru seemed to have no reason to object. Under the persistent persuasion of her disciple Ning Feixuan, she was willing to marry Mingyan. Of course, even if Ning Feixuan hadn't tried to persuade her, it probably wouldn't have been difficult for Mingyan to get Ning Mengru to agree.

Mingyan also told his master about this matter. His master's answer was to let Mingyan gain Yue Qingyou's approval first, and then she would tell Mingyan the answer.

However, Mingyan could still tell from her master's eyes that she had no intention of refusing. Mingyan chuckled and then ran to find her junior sister first.

The junior sister's dream since childhood was to marry Mingyan, so she didn't think much about it. "If I don't marry my senior brother, I must be a fool. So, senior brother, I will be your wife from now on."

Her pure feelings hadn't changed even after all these years. This time, Mingyan didn't ruffle her hair, but gently kissed the corner of her mouth, which made Liu Mengli smile with joy.

“Being so easily satisfied makes you easy to overlook. They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease,” Mingyan said with a smile.

"But I'm my senior brother's little darling, I can't let him worry about me. Besides, I know my senior brother won't ignore me." Liu Mengli said with her hands behind her back and a smile.

She was so confident because from the moment Mingyan arrived at Yutai Blessed Land, her gaze had been fixed on him and had never left him.

Mingyan smiled and nodded, "Your senior brother will not let you down."

The junior sister chuckled, "Senior brother, you still need to go find Master, right? Go quickly, your junior sister is very considerate."

Mingyan smiled, then turned and walked into Yue Qingyou's room.

"You came in without even pushing the door open." Yue Qingyou rolled her eyes at Ming Yan. "You're going to marry Meng Li?"

"I still want to marry Aunt Yue." Mingyan nodded and added, "Aunt Yue, will you marry me?"

"You still don't want to marry me?" Yue Qingyou raised her chin and glanced at Ming Yan sideways.

"If Aunt Yue is willing to marry me, how could I not?"

"That's more like it." Yue Qingyou crossed her arms, then lowered her head and smiled casually. "I think your master is right. You've ruined our Yue Cinema..."

"I disagree. There are so many people in the Moon Cinema. Even if I were to cause trouble, I would only have caused trouble for Master, Senior Sister, Aunt Yue, and Junior Sister. How could I have caused trouble for everyone?!" Mingyan objected.

Yue Qingyou curled her lips, "Two of the most outstanding young women, your senior sister and your junior sister, Dean and Vice Dean of Yueying Cinema, that is, your master and me, have all been ruined by you. Isn't that enough to ruin them all?"

"No, I didn't open a silver theater at the Moon Cinema... cough cough, organizing multiple people to cultivate doesn't count."

Upon hearing this, Yue Qingyou's eyebrows shot up. "You really want to cause trouble at the Moon Cinema?!"

"I was just refuting Aunt Yue, I didn't mean I was really planning to cause trouble at the Moon Cinema," Mingyan quickly explained.

Yue Qingyou gave a soft hum, then sighed, "Go ahead and marry me... I, Yue Qingyou, have lived for over 1,500 years, and I never imagined I'd be adding a junior who's over 1,500 years younger than me..."
