One of my fairy-like friends

Seeing this, Huang Qingfei shook her head and chuckled, then looked at Ning Mengru, "Sister Mengru, did this sudden visit cause you any delay?"

"What are you saying?" Ning Mengru scolded, reaching out her jade-like hand to pull Huang Qingfei back. "When you were young, you always loved to follow me around, why are you so distant now?"

The friendship between Huang Qingfei and Ning Mengru is known throughout the world. The previous Queen Mother of the West of Yaochi even gifted Huang Qingfei a peach tree growing beside an ancient peach tree, imbued with celestial energy, representing the friendship between Yaochi and the Huang family.

To be honest, the Huang family and Yaochi are two completely different places, and I don't know how they became connected.

The Huang family has always been domineering, with a very rich foundation, and they are absolute in their word. Yaochi, on the other hand, is always a place of moderation, peace, and justice. These two places don't seem like they can get along.

Huang Qingfei smiled and looked at Ning Feixuan, "Feixuan, Feiyan has something she wants to talk to you about, so I'll chat with your master about some family matters."

Ning Feixuan nodded and bowed. After Huang Qingfei and Ning Mengru left, she looked at Huang Feiyan and smiled, "I thought you came here to chat and have fun, but it seems you wouldn't come here without a reason? Tell me, what can I do to help you?"

Huang Feiyan's face flushed slightly, as if she had thought of something. She pursed her lips and said, "Let's talk as we walk. It's not that I'm asking you for any help, but I just want to ask you some questions."

The two walked side by side, both tall and graceful, their delicate steps captivating and breathtaking.

The Yaochi Holy Land was filled with women. Ning Feixuan was not masked. She stood with her hands behind her back, dressed in palace attire, smiling radiantly. She was absolutely stunning. Ming Yan felt that Ning Feixuan was not quite worthy of the title of the number one in the Eastern Continent, but she was definitely a top beauty. Apart from a few others, it would be difficult to find anyone in the Eastern Continent who could compare to her among the previous generation of fairies.

"What is it?"

Huang Feiyan hesitated for a moment, then started chatting with Ning Feixuan about everyday matters. The two strolled along, laughing and joking. Although Ning Feixuan was puzzled as to why Huang Feiyan didn't get straight to the point, she was happy to chat with Huang Feiyan about daily life and felt quite comfortable.

After a while, Huang Feiyan started talking about Ning Feixuan's relationship status.

"Isn't it allowed for women to marry outside your Yaochi Holy Land? Have you met anyone who catches your eye?" Huang Feiyan asked with a smile.

Ning Feixuan shook her head and said reproachfully, "You know my situation. How could I have such thoughts right now? I haven't avenged my great enemy yet, and I'm already thinking about love. How can I face my parents? How can they be at ease if I don't personally kill the enemy and bring him to my parents' graves to pay my respects?"

"Really not?"

Ning Feixuan raised her eyebrows slightly, keenly noticing something amiss. She glanced sideways at Huang Feiyan, "You...you wouldn't be here to test my intentions, would you? Could it be Ming Yan?"

Huang Feiyan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, "How did you think of Ming Yan so quickly?"

Seeing that Huang Feiyan's surprise didn't seem feigned, Ning Feixuan felt relieved. It seemed she wasn't there to test the waters. She shook her head and chuckled, not revealing Mingyan's confession. After all, she had rejected Mingyan; revealing it would only embarrass him.

But who is Huang Feiyan? Her mind raced, and she quickly came to her senses. Could it be that Mingyan had revealed his true feelings, and then Ning Feixuan discovered it?

"Have you discovered someone who likes you?"

"It seems like there are a lot of people who like me." Ning Feixuan said with a half-smile.

It wasn't that Ning Feixuan was arrogant; as a member of the Yaochi Holy Land, she had a tremendous number of suitors, including young geniuses, holy sons and daughters, and even some demon geniuses...

Ning Feixuan grew up in Yaochi, so her temperament is naturally excellent. Her appearance and talent are also outstanding. Who wouldn't want such a Daoist partner?

There are many beautiful female cultivators, but those who are both beautiful and powerful, and whose temperament inspires confidence, are few and far between.

"..."

"Could it really be that Mingyan sent you to test my intentions?" Ning Feixuan was somewhat surprised to see Huang Feiyan's hesitant expression.

"Ah...nothing like that." Huang Feiyan quickly shook her head, her expression somewhat abnormal, but she also understood Ning Feixuan's meaning. Her suspicions likely stemmed from discovering Mingyan's feelings for her. She was troubled, unsure whether she should ask.

Ning Feixuan seemed to sense Huang Feiyan's predicament. Seeing Huang Feiyan's expression, she frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and after careful consideration, said, "Mingyan confessed to me some time ago. You know my situation. Although Mingyan is indeed extremely outstanding, I am focused on cultivating the Dao and still need revenge. I have no other thoughts, so I rejected him. You are my best friend and also Mingyan's friend, so it's fine to tell you. But please don't spread this around, lest Mingyan lose face. Although we can't be Daoist partners, at least we can still be friends..."

Huang Feiyan was somewhat taken aback when she saw this. She hadn't expected Mingyan to actually confess. She quickly said, "Don't misunderstand, Feixuan. Mingyan didn't ask me to come and find out what's going on. He's not that kind of person. He wouldn't use our relationship to benefit himself."

Seeing Huang Feiyan's strong reaction, Ning Feixuan nodded. "I guessed he wasn't that kind of person. But why are you asking about this?"

"...I just wanted to know what my best friend thought. Actually, I've known for a while that Mingyan likes you, and it's put me in a difficult position. After all, you're my friend too, and I can't really help him." Huang Feiyan shook her head. "But, you really don't have any feelings for Mingyan?"

“It’s not that I don’t like him; I actually think he’s quite nice, but I just don’t want to get involved.” Ning Feixuan shook her head gently.

"I still don't like it..."

"..." Ning Feixuan was silent for a while, then said, "Then just pretend I don't like it."

"You really don't like Mingyan?"

"really."

"Won't you give him another chance in the future?" Huang Feiyan continued to ask.

Ning Feixuan was extremely surprised, wondering why Huang Feiyan needed to confirm so many times. She was never such a talkative person before. However, she still nodded, "I am like this now, and I will be like this in the future. I... don't like him, I really don't like him."

Huang Feiyan was silent for a moment, then nodded and smiled slightly, "Then let's not talk about him anymore. I actually came to ask you if you want to go..."

Meanwhile, Ning Mengru and Huang Qingfei strolled along, Ning Mengru speaking with a hint of worry, "The rumors about the Huang family's Phoenix Blood Pool..."

Huang Qingfei chuckled, "Why is Sister also concerned about this matter?"

"This is, after all, related to the future of your Huang family. The Huang family and Yaochi have always been on good terms. If you need any help, please feel free to come and ask me for help. Don't be shy." Ning Mengru said with a serious expression. There were rumors that the Huang family's Huang Blood Pool had been abandoned because the Huang family seemed to have not had any newborns for many years. Huang Feiyan had become the last bloodline of the Huang family.

"Let this matter spread. In a year or two, we'll see the truth." Huang Qingfei stood with her hands behind her back and a light smile on her face. "Sister Mengru, don't worry. Do you think I'll be polite to you?"

"Hehe, that's true. When I was young, a certain girl even asked me for the Immortal Peach Tree." Ning Mengru giggled, her figure alluring and extremely seductive.

"That's just because Consort Qing was young and didn't know any better," Consort Huang Qing smiled helplessly.

Chapter 136 Friendship is no longer pure

Half a day later, Huang Qingfei and Huang Feiyan left the Yaochi Holy Land.

There were only three people on this trip. Huang Junyi went to Fenglingyueying first, so there were only two of them at Yaochi Holy Land. The Huang family rarely travels in a large entourage.

Moreover, Huang Qingfei is a half-step Human Realm cultivator. Unless a large number of half-step Human Realm cultivators surround and kill them, or a Human Realm cultivator tries to harm them, the two will not be in any danger.

"Did you find out Fei Xuan's attitude towards Ming Yan?" Huang Qingfei asked with her hands behind her back and a gentle smile. From a young age, she either followed her mother or liked to pester Ning Mengru, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi at the time. Her personality was very different from Huang Junru and Huang Junyi, just like these two. Huang Junru was cold and aloof. Except for her relatives, she rarely showed any kindness to outsiders. Her words were always as cold as ice, making people shiver. Huang Junyi was very proper in front of others, but she was by no means warm. She had a feeling of keeping people at a distance. Only Huang Qingfei was the most gentle and the easiest to communicate with among the three sisters.

The three sisters have different personalities, but they have never quarreled. They complement each other. Huang Junru dotes on her two younger sisters, and has been so since childhood. Their mother conceived them in her later years and passed away relatively early. Huang Junru is the eldest sister. As the saying goes, the eldest sister is like a mother.

Although Huang Junyi appears polite and proper in public, she is actually not very willing to communicate with people and prefers to stay alone, drink some wine, and daydream for a while.

However, after meeting Mingyan, he became a little more talkative and interesting.

Huang Feiyan's personality is similar to Huang Qingfei's, because Huang Feiyan was raised by Huang Qingfei.

Huang Feiyan nodded gently, "Feixuan...she said she doesn't have those feelings for Mingyan. I asked her many times, and it doesn't seem like she's just saying that; it's the truth."

Huang Qingfei smiled gently, "Although Yan'er is a very good child, he has only met Feixuan a few times. She shouldn't be so deeply in love with Yan'er. If she were so easily moved, she wouldn't be Ning Feixuan."

"..." A hint of hesitation crossed Huang Feiyan's pretty face. "Is this really the case?"

"Have you ever seen your mother change her mind about the decision she made?" Huang Qingfei smiled and said, "Moreover, your second aunt and I both agree. Although there are some dissenting voices in the family, they are not strong."

"I don't quite understand. Logically speaking, there should be many people in the family opposing this kind of thing..."

“Feiyan, this matter concerns the future of the Huang family, and you, sister, can weigh the importance of it.” Huang Qingfei shook her head. “If we don’t do this and can’t find any other way, then in order to continue the Huang family line, we will have no choice but to recruit sons-in-law. Even if some people don’t mind, most people are unwilling to live with men. Moreover, in order to continue the family line, if no one wants to fall in love with outsiders, we may have to force some people to marry outsiders. Nobody wants to become a sacrifice.”

It is indeed true that the Phoenix Blood Pool of the Phoenix Clan has been destroyed.

Huang Feiyan bit her lip and nodded gently, a hint of guilt on her face. "If it weren't for me, perhaps this wouldn't have happened at all."

"How can I take all the blame on you?" Huang Qingfei chuckled. "Everyone in the family is a sister. Has anyone blamed you? Have you heard a single whisper of gossip?"

Huang Feiyan shook her head.

"Then that's settled. This is a matter for the entire Huang family. It's just that you and Mingyan are the closest, so we need you to handle it," said Huang Qingfei.

"Auntie, I feel that Second Aunt is closer to Mingyan than I am," Huang Feiyan whispered.

"Second sister?" Huang Qingfei's expression was strange. She glanced at Huang Feiyan and said, "She told me before that she hoped to see you and Mingyan get together. She has emphasized this to me and eldest sister several times, which has annoyed eldest sister."

"Ah..." Huang Feiyan blushed deeply. "Why does Second Aunt praise him so much? Although Mingyan and I have a good relationship, we are just friends and there is no romantic feeling between us."

"The past is the past. From now on, you should change your mind. Or is it that you don't like Mingyan?"

"How could that be? After all, he saved my life and helped our Huang family so much." Huang Feiyan shook her head, her pretty face flushed. "I do have some good feelings for him, but it's far from love."

“Once you have a good feeling, once you have a heart, it will slowly turn into love, my silly niece.” Huang Qingfei patted Huang Feiyan’s head and smiled, “Do you know how worried I was at first?”

“I don’t know…” Huang Feiyan shook her head.

“I was worried that you would be wronged, and that you didn’t like Mingyan, but now I understand your feelings completely. You don’t actually resist being with Mingyan, do you?” Huang Qingfei’s eyes were filled with gentle tenderness.

"..." Huang Feiyan's pretty face flushed red, making her look incredibly beautiful. She couldn't help but pout and say, "Auntie..."

"Girl, you've grown up." Huang Qingfei smiled and said, "Mingyan is the most suitable for you. He has a clean background. Although he is currently in love with Ning Feixuan, Ning Feixuan is not moved by him at all. Sooner or later, she will come to her senses. There is no one else by his side. Moreover, he is a human king body. With the protection of Feng Lingyueying and our Huang family, before the welcoming ceremony, who can do anything to him? After the welcoming ceremony, apart from that empress, who can do anything to him? The dark turmoil is coming soon. The empress naturally hopes to have a great adult king body standing by her side to fight alongside her."

"You don't dislike Mingyan, and you even have a slight liking for him. Girl, you'd better hurry up. He is devoted to Ning Feixuan, but that doesn't mean you can't leave a mark on his heart. Although our Huang family has never had any male members since the founding of the clan, the Phoenix God Clan was once divided into Phoenix and Phoenix. Every woman in the clan is a Phoenix seeking Phoenix. Moreover, my niece is exceptionally outstanding. As long as you put your heart into it and are patient, it won't be difficult to make Mingyan think only of you."

"Auntie... this is still far from over..." Huang Feiyan's pretty face was burning hot, her eyes were filled with tears, and she was extremely shy.

"Only you can write this stroke. As for whether Yan'er will add the final stroke, that depends on whether Yan'er can enjoy the favor of a beauty," Huang Qingfei said with a light laugh.

Huang Feiyan almost buried her face in her chest.

Huang Qingfei smiled and waited a while before saying softly, "This matter concerns your personal happiness, as well as the future of the entire Huang family. There is no one more suitable than Yan'er. He possesses the Human King Physique. Empress Qingzi has only ruled the world for a little over a thousand years, and Yan'er is second only to the emperor. He can not only help the entire Huang family, but also protect it. I shouldn't have told you about these considerations, lest the pure love between you and him become impure. I'm telling you this so that you won't feel like you've violated the ancestral teachings."

"Of course, there is still a chance to refuse. If you say no, then stop and we will find another way. Although Mingyan's blood is indeed... well, I will not let my niece suffer. The Huang family has never wronged its own family." Although Huang Qingfei was gentle, she still had the domineering aura of a phoenix flowing in her veins.

Both the dragon and phoenix divine races have perished. The dragon clan and the phoenix family are unaware of this, but the phoenix clan has always had this domineering nature.

Huang Feiyan's face flushed. She pursed her lips and said softly, "I...I never said I was wronged...but the matter between Mingyan and me can only be discussed in the future..."

"Of course, you can't do it all at once, and you can't be so greedy. Spend more time with him, and he will know how good you are, and you will know whether he is worthy of your trust." Huang Qingfei smiled and said, "Let's go to Fenglingyueying. I suppose Ning Feixuan has been preparing for a while and should be setting off soon. It all depends on your performance along the way."

Huang Feiyan was even more embarrassed. The thought of seeing Mingyan, whom she had mentioned to her aunt, made her so ashamed that she wanted to disappear into the ground. The two of them were originally just friends of the opposite sex, but now, due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, she was afraid that her feelings for him were no longer...so pure.

"Your second aunt should have arrived at the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land by now," Huang Qingfei said. "She values ​​Mingyan the most..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Feiyan felt much less embarrassed. She thought to herself, "Even my aunt probably couldn't have guessed how close my second aunt is to Mingyan."

Meanwhile, in the Fenglingyueying Holy Land, Yue Wuxia opened her eyes, sensed an aura, raised her eyebrows slightly, stood up, and quietly walked to Yue Qingying's door to observe the situation inside.

“If she behaves like this, you should put your arm around her waist, like this…” Yue Qingying pulled Mingyan’s arm and placed it on her slender waist, smiling as she spoke.

Yue Wuxia raised an eyebrow and transmitted her voice to Yue Qingying and Ming Yan, "We have guests arriving. You two prepare to welcome them."

Chapter 137 Master is overthinking it

Yue Qingying's body stiffened slightly, then she smiled gently, and instead of placing her hand on Ming Yan's back, she clasped it together. She said softly, "Let's go, junior brother, let's go greet the guests."

"Hmm." Mingyan nodded, feeling touched. When his senior sister explained to him how girls react, she always demonstrated by herself. In the past few days, he didn't know how many times he had touched his senior sister's slender waist and shoulders. Several times, by accident, his senior sister had grabbed his hand and his fingertips had traced some inappropriate places, but his senior sister never said anything.

Mingyan was deeply moved; he remembered all the kindness his senior sister had shown him.

Yue Qingying led Mingyan out of the room. Seeing Yue Wuxia also push open the door and come out of the room, she bowed to Yue Wuxia and asked, "Master, may I ask which guest has come to visit?"

"Huang Junyi of the Huang family." Yue Wuxia seemed to have just appeared from inside the house. Upon hearing this, she spoke calmly, glancing at Ming Yan and Yue Qingying's clasped hands with her beautiful eyes, but said nothing.

Upon hearing this name, Yue Qingying's pretty face froze for a moment. She subconsciously glanced at Ming Yan before shifting her gaze back. "I wonder what brings Second Aunt Huang here this time?"
