Chapter 101: Why Choose Between Two?
Huang Junru didn’t say what favor she needed Mingyan to do after he agreed, but told Mingyan that he had enough time to think about this question.
To be honest, Mingyan was very stunned. He had just given up on Ning Feixuan, and the Huang Family had given him a “big surprise”…
Mingyan sat in the inner courtyard of the Huang family, a little confused.
He had originally thought that after resolving the matter of Ning Feixuan, he could live a good life with his senior sister… but it seemed that it was still a bit difficult…
Senior Sister… Feiyan…
At this time, Mingyan’s eyes were suddenly covered by a pair of gentle jade-like hands. The person behind him deliberately pinched her throat and said, “Guess who I am?”
“You’re Feiyan. I’m too familiar with your scent,” Mingyan said softly.
“Aiya, can’t you just play along and pretend you can’t guess?” Huang Feiyan heard this and immediately withdrew her hands helplessly. “This is no fun.”
With that, Huang Feiyan sat down beside Mingyan and smiled. “When did you come? Why didn’t you come to find me right away?”
“I just arrived, and then I went to see your mother, Huang Junru. She just told me something,” Mingyan looked at Huang Feiyan, his expression strange. “She said… she wants to marry you to me.”
Huang Feiyan’s expression was still normal at first. When Mingyan was speaking, she stared into his eyes. But after waiting for a while, her face became a little flushed, and then it became redder and redder. She bit her cherry lips shyly and lowered her head. “Then… are you willing to marry me?”
Seeing Huang Feiyan like this, how could Mingyan not know what she was thinking? It was indeed as he had thought. She liked him.
“How… should I answer you?” Mingyan looked ahead, his feelings complicated, not knowing what to say.
“…” Seeing Mingyan’s conflicted expression, Huang Feiyan pursed her lips and put her hands behind her back. “Do you hate me?”
“I don’t hate you. To be honest, I probably have a good impression of you, Feiyan,” Mingyan thought back to when he had first met Huang Feiyan until now. His impression of the Huang Family was too good. Everyone in the Huang Family was very good. Huang Feiyan was good, Huang Junyi was good, Huang Qingfei, Huang Junru, they were all very good. So much so that it would make him really feel like he was treating the Huang Family as his own.
His relationship with Feiyan indeed felt a little more than just friends.
It was just that there was a wall before, blocking the two of them. And now, this wall was gone. Only then did Mingyan realize that his feelings for Feiyan… might not be so simple as just friends.
It was precisely because of this that Mingyan was a little confused. What was going on? He clearly wanted to be with his senior sister, but when it came to rejecting Feiyan, he couldn’t seem to say it.
Hearing Mingyan’s words, Huang Feiyan’s face burned. “I like you… I’ve liked you for a long time. From the time at the Rain Terrace Blessed Land, I gradually came to like you. Will you think I’m very casual for saying this?”
“No, but I’m a little surprised. I didn’t think I would make you have such feelings for me,” Mingyan shook his head.
“…Have you forgotten that you’ve saved me more than once?” Huang Feiyan’s face was flushed, and she said in a low voice, “I still remember the scene of you telling me to hide first, and then you went to hold off Yun Ling yourself…”
“That’s because in my opinion, if you had died, then we would definitely die. If I bought you enough time, there might still be a chance of survival,” Mingyan said. “I just did what I thought was the most correct action at that time.”
“It’s not important why you did it. What’s important is that even though you were only at the Gathering Stream Realm at that time, you protected me many times. I think, if you were at your current realm at that time, and then saved me, perhaps I might not have had that feeling for you…” Huang Feiyan pursed her lips. Mingyan was so weak at that time, yet he was willing to stand in front of her…
This strong contrast had deeply moved Huang Feiyan at that time.
It was a pity that at that time, for her little aunt’s sake, Huang Feiyan didn’t have much thought for matters of love between men and women and didn’t discover her feelings at the first moment. If she had discovered it at that time, perhaps Mingyan would have stayed directly at the Huang family and would not have been sent to Wind Spirit Moon Shadow. If he hadn’t been sent to the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sacred Land, there would naturally be no Yue Qingying, this rival.
Mingyan turned his head and looked at Huang Feiyan.
To be fair, Huang Feiyan was really beautiful. The genes of the entire Huang family were very good, so she naturally wouldn’t be bad. Mingyan especially liked Huang Feiyan’s eyes.
In her eyes, he seemed to be able to see two burning flames, burning like an unyielding fire.
She had given Mingyan the Sun and Moon Scripture, allowing him to formally develop his Human King Physique. Even when he was at his weakest, she had never looked down on him. In her eyes, Mingyan and she were equals.
Mingyan felt that he still had a faint good impression of Huang Feiyan. If his senior sister hadn’t said those words, perhaps he would have considered it and agreed?
But his senior sister was also waiting for him. Was Mingyan supposed to leave his senior sister for Feiyan?
His senior sister was also very good to him… So, was Mingyan supposed to reject Feiyan?
Mingyan looked at Huang Feiyan and saw the deep expectation in her eyes, waiting for him to agree, waiting for him to marry her…
He couldn’t say the words of rejection.
Perhaps discovering Mingyan’s entanglement, Huang Feiyan pursed her lips. “You don’t have to be in such a hurry. Think about it more… anyway, I like you. This point can’t be changed. As for whether you like me or not…”
Huang Feiyan pouted, a little aggrieved. “I’m not good at pleasing people, but if you marry me, I will definitely be very, very good to you…”
Hearing these words, Mingyan couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, feeling both amused and exasperated.
“What are you laughing at?” Huang Feiyan nudged Mingyan with her shoulder and said seriously, “I’m serious…”
“I think you’re a little cute…” Mingyan said honestly.
“Is that so… ahem, that’s a good thing…” Huang Feiyan coughed lightly twice to ease her embarrassment. “Do you… still like Feixuan?”
“No,” Mingyan shook his head. “It’s just that I probably can’t give you an answer in a short time, Feiyan. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay… you can think about it carefully. Anyway, I… won’t marry anyone but you,” Huang Feiyan was overjoyed to hear this. Had Mingyan really resolved the matter with Feixuan this time? But after his latter words, she still pouted. “If you don’t marry me, I won’t get married. I’ll wait for the day you come to me…”
Hearing Huang Feiyan’s words, Mingyan’s heart was a little complicated. He stood up, reached out, and pulled Huang Feiyan up. “You used to take advantage of me not knowing that kissing was something between Dao companions and spouses, and secretly kissed me.”
“…” Huang Feiyan was greatly embarrassed and muttered in a low voice, “Because that’s the only way… to get closer to our relationship…”
Seeing Huang Feiyan carefully peeking at his expression, Mingyan admitted that he found it really cute…
Feiyan… Senior Sister…
Mingyan took a deep breath. “Feiyan, I want to go to Yaochi. After that… perhaps I will give you an answer.”
“Hmm… hmm…” hearing that Mingyan still wanted to go to Yaochi, Huang Feiyan was a little uneasy, but in the end, she didn’t say anything and nodded. “I’ll let… I’ll let my little aunt send you off.”
I can’t let my second aunt send Mingyan off. Now that he’s no longer bound by Ning Feixuan, who knows what my second aunt will do to him?
Mingyan nodded and didn’t say thank you. With his relationship with the Huang family, there was no need for such things.
Not long after, Mingyan saw Huang Qingfei. She wore a green dress and seemed a little out of place with the other women of the Huang family.
“Little Aunt,” Mingyan bowed. Huang Qingfei had her hands behind her back and said with a grin, “Are you ready? If you’re ready, we’ll set off.”
“Hmm…” Mingyan nodded, then took out Huang Junru’s carriage. The three of them set off again and arrived at Yaochi Sacred Land.
Ning Feixuan had not yet returned. Mingyan and Huang Qingfei first found Ning Mengru and told her about the Ning family’s matter. After hearing this, Ning Mengru nodded and then asked, “Your relationship with Feixuan… what’s wrong?”
“It’s about the same as before, right?” hearing Ning Mengru ask this, Mingyan said. Before, Ning Feixuan had also liked to hide from him and didn’t want to have any relationship with him… now… it’s about the same.
Ning Mengru sighed softly but did not mention the matter of the Mandarin Duck mirror, which made Mingyan sigh in relief. It seemed that Aunt Ning was still very reasonable.
After bidding farewell to Ning Mengru, Mingyan came to Wang Qingchu’s tomb and once again entered her Qi Sea world.
His sister was looking for Mingyan, and he also had some things he wanted to ask his sister.
Wang Qingchu was swinging on a swing with her bare feet. Mingyan had made it with her. She liked it very much, especially when Mingyan pushed her from behind. It was hard to imagine that such a woman would be a female hero who had once saved the world.
“Sister,” Mingyan walked to the swing. Wang Qingchu had been staring at him from the beginning. Seeing Mingyan approach, she smiled brightly. “You’re here. I know you have some things you want to ask me. Go ahead.”
“Didn’t you have something to say to me, Sister?” hearing this, Mingyan squatted in front of Wang Qingchu. She casually placed her calves on Mingyan’s shoulders, wrapping them around his neck, and giggled. “Let’s talk about your matters first.”
“…It’s just…” Mingyan told Wang Qingchu about his senior sister and Huang Feiyan. He was a little troubled. “Whether it’s my senior sister or Feiyan… I don’t want to hurt either of them. But if I choose one, the other will be sad, right?”
“Silly, didn’t I tell you before?” Wang Qingchu let go of her calves, pressed her white and tender lotus feet against Mingyan’s chest, drew circles, and smiled. “Why do you have to choose between two? You like your senior sister, and you like Huang Feiyan. Then just make them both your Dao companions, wouldn’t that be fine?”
