Chapter 104: Forced Marriage
Mingyan thought back. In fact, to say Mingyan was special to someone was not quite right. Or to be more precise, Mingyan was special to everyone.
Perhaps some would say that being special to everyone meant being ordinary to everyone. But in reality, Mingyan was different to everyone. To his sister, to his master, to his senior sister, to Huang Feiyan… in fact, Mingyan’s attitude towards each of them had some differences. Perhaps it was the different ways of getting along brought about by their identities.
After kissing Wang Qingchu, Wang Qingchu was finally willing to let Mingyan leave. This made Mingyan feel a little nervous. A kiss now, and if Wang Qingchu didn’t let Mingyan out in the future, what method would he use to deal with it… no, what method would Mingyan use to satisfy Wang Qingchu, that would be a problem…
Mingyan naturally liked the feeling of being with Wang Qingchu. Because getting along with his sister was very comfortable, making one feel reluctant to leave. But Mingyan couldn’t stay there forever. That was a gentle land, but it could also be a tomb.
Mingyan found the Queen Mother of the West, Ning Mengru. Huang Qingfei was also there. Seeing Mingyan return after a few days, Huang Qingfei did not ask where he had been, but said with a gentle smile, “Is the matter resolved?”
“Yes,” Mingyan nodded, then bid farewell to the Queen Mother of the West. After that, Mingyan set off with Huang Qingfei on the journey back to the Huang family.
During this time, they had basically been on the road. Fortunately, Mingyan’s cultivation had not been delayed.
Now Mingyan’s Qi Sea had the conditions for life to be born, but to really make life be born, Mingyan still needed some coincidences. Mingyan didn’t know how to create these coincidences, which gave him a headache. Mingyan couldn’t just wait quietly for life to be born, right?
Mingyan had also asked Wang Qingchu about this problem, but Wang Qingchu had told him that the life in her Qi Sea was born soon after she had completed the construction of her Qi Sea… Mingyan could only hope that his Qi Sea would be the same.
“So, have you found your answer?” Huang Qingfei flew with Mingyan, sending a mental message to him and asking.
Huang Qingfei’s tone was lighter than Huang Feiyan’s. That gentle feeling was indeed like a celestial maiden from Yaochi. The Temptress Sister seemed to have said that because Huang Qingfei liked to follow Ning Mengru since she was a child, her personality was very similar to Ning Mengru’s. Of course, Huang Qingfei was still from the Huang family. Although she was very gentle in front of Mingyan, she also had the side that belonged to the Huang family.
“I suppose so,” Mingyan thought Huang Qingfei was asking about whether he would agree to marry Huang Feiyan, but then Mingyan came to his senses. “Does Little Aunt also know about Feiyan’s marriage to me?”
“Of course. After all, it’s the first time the Huang family has married off a daughter. It’s a big deal. Only after obtaining the consent of most of our Huang family can this matter proceed smoothly,” Huang Qingfei chuckled lightly and nodded. “So, are you planning to marry Feiyan?”
“I like Feiyan, but isn’t it too early to talk about marriage now?” Mingyan said tentatively.
“It’s not early. You and Huang Feiyan are not young anymore. In the world of mortals, at your age, the children are already several years old,” Huang Qingfei said lightly.
Several years old? Huang Feiyan was only eighteen, right? Maybe nineteen? Anyway, Mingyan was almost eighteen. Did people in the mortal world have children at thirteen or fourteen? Mingyan was a little surprised. This was a little different from his understanding.
“If you and Huang Feiyan get married earlier, it will also let us rest assured earlier. In the future, you can do everything together as a couple,” Huang Qingfei chuckled lightly. “And, this also means that you are a true member of our Huang family.”
Mingyan didn’t want to get married so quickly. After all, he had not chosen Huang Feiyan, but… his senior sister and Huang Feiyan. So if he married Huang Feiyan so early, it would be the heaviest blow to his senior sister. His senior sister might not be able to take it. So, Mingyan wanted to delay the marriage.
Mingyan also understood that it was not enough to just let Huang Feiyan and his senior sister accept each other. He also had to let the Huang family accept it, and his master also had to accept it…
This was a bit difficult. The Huang family had never married off a daughter before. Now they were marrying one off, and the other party also wanted to marry another woman. It was not an easy matter for the Huang family to accept.
As for his master… Mingyan was nervous. His master was still angry now. No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible for her to accept. But his master was, after all, his master. It should be a little better than the Huang family.
“It’s not that I don’t want to get married. I just think it’s too early. I want to cultivate my relationship with Feiyan a little more first,” Mingyan sent a mental message. “After all… I used to see Huang Feiyan as a friend. Now, suddenly, we’re talking about getting married…”
“Hmm…” Huang Qingfei said, “It’s the same to get married first and then talk about feelings.”
Besides Huang Feiyan, no one in the Huang family had ever been in a relationship. It wasn’t that they were completely clueless about feelings, just that six of their seven orifices were open. So to them, they didn’t want Mingyan and Huang Feiyan to delay for too long. Feelings, if you slept together more, you would have them.
Mingyan was a little speechless for a moment. It seemed to be right. After all, if Mingyan didn’t have the option of “senior sister,” he wouldn’t mind marrying Huang Feiyan directly. Feelings, after getting married, would slowly, slowly develop.
But he couldn’t, because Mingyan still had his senior sister.
Mingyan shook his head. “But although I don’t plan to get married for now, my thoughts are pretty much settled. Little Aunt, what does the Huang family want me to help with?”
Huang Qingfei thought for a moment and sent a mental message to Mingyan. “It’s better for your future mother-in-law to tell you about this matter.”
Mother-in-law? Mingyan was stunned for a moment before he remembered. This should be referring to his mother-in-law, right? In other words… Huang Junru?
After a while, the two of them finally returned to the Huang family. Huang Qingfei immediately brought Mingyan to Huang Junru’s residence. After putting him down, Huang Qingfei said, “Go and talk to her yourself. I won’t go in.”
“Ha…” Mingyan nodded, raised his hand, and was about to knock, but the voice from inside the door had already come out. “Mingyan, come in.”
Mingyan’s knocking action turned into pushing the door. Mingyan stepped in and saw Huang Junru standing in the room, looking at him with a cold gaze.
Huang Junru wore a dark red palace dress, her hair coiled up, with various hair ornaments on her head, extremely magnificent. Among the three sisters, her makeup was particularly noble. The Temptress Sister’s makeup was very casual, with a unique charm and few decorations, while Huang Qingfei’s was simple and elegant. The three sisters were all different.
Although Huang Junru looked very cold, Mingyan knew that this was already considered gentle. Perhaps it was more appropriate to describe it as “her gaze was calm.”
Mingyan had originally wanted to bow, but then he remembered that Huang Junru had said he didn’t need to bow when he saw her. So Mingyan dismissed the idea and called out very politely, “Aunt.”
Huang Junru nodded lightly. “Qingfei told me you’ve already agreed?”
“I suppose so. I just think we don’t have to be in a hurry to get married. I want to cultivate my relationship with Feiyan first,” Mingyan nodded. Since he had made a decision, Mingyan didn’t plan to be indecisive and go back and forth. As a man, he had to be responsible.
“Then let’s get engaged first and then announce it to the world,” Huang Junru walked slowly to Mingyan. She was a little shorter than him, with a faint fragrance on her body. It was hard to say what it was, but it left a deep impression after smelling it, a little intoxicating.
But Mingyan couldn’t agree to announcing it to the world, at least not now. Mingyan quickly said, “Such a big matter, I need to talk to my master first…”
“You don’t have to worry about this. We talked to your master about this a long time ago. She also supports you and Feiyan getting married,” but Huang Junru directly cut off the reason Mingyan used to delay time. Mingyan was speechless upon hearing this. Indeed, everyone thought he and Ning Feixuan wouldn’t end up together…
“Mother, may I come in?” At this time, Huang Feiyan suddenly appeared outside the door. She looked at Mingyan and Huang Junru, and said softly.
Huang Junru glanced at Huang Feiyan, then nodded lightly. Only then did Huang Feiyan walk in and stand beside Mingyan. She glanced at Mingyan from the side, then said, “I also think we shouldn’t be in a hurry… since he… already has this idea, then it’s enough to let nature take its course…”
As Huang Feiyan spoke, her beautiful face was a little flushed. Her appearance, makeup, and dress were very similar to Huang Junru’s, but their temperaments were different. Huang Junru’s was cold, while Huang Feiyan’s was a bit like Huang Qingfei’s, but not exactly the same. Huang Feiyan was more lively and cute.
Mingyan couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Huang Feiyan. Seeing her beautiful face flushed, as if she had noticed his gaze and couldn’t bear the strong shyness, Huang Feiyan turned her head to the side, her hands behind her back, her jade-like fingers twisting uneasily. Huang Feiyan must be nervous and shy in her heart…
To think that if Mingyan rejected her, chose to give her up…
Perhaps Huang Feiyan would quietly watch Mingyan, her face pale, her hands hanging limply, her originally rosy cherry lips a little dry, her eyes filled with a heartbreakingly pitiful gaze, wanting to speak to keep him, wanting to plead, but being hurt to the point of heartbreak by his ruthless words…
How could I let go… seeing such a scene, could my heart really harden?
Could Mingyan still turn and leave after seeing such a scene?
Moreover, Mingyan and Huang Feiyan had already had the reality of a husband and wife.
“It seems you two both have your own ideas…” Huang Junru closed her eyes, thought for a moment, and then said, “Then it’s up to you two to arrange it. But don’t delay for too long. Also, since you’ve decided to marry Feiyan, it’s time to tell you what I haven’t said before.”
“The Huang family has encountered trouble. You should be very clear about the matter of the Phoenix Blood Pool,” Huang Junru waved her hand, motioning for Huang Feiyan to leave first. Seeing Huang Junru talking about official business, and seeing her wave Huang Feiyan away, Huang Feiyan’s lips couldn’t help but twitch slightly, a little dissatisfied. There was no need to make Huang Feiyan leave for these things. She already knew everything.
But Huang Feiyan still left, leaving Mingyan and Huang Junru alone.
Mingyan nodded. “Feiyan told me before that it seems… the Huang family has found a solution?”
