Chapter 141: Love Is War
“If you don’t fight for it, you will have nothing,” Ning Mengru said softly. “Mingyan… is no longer like before, only liking you. You should know that, right?”
“Yes… he and Feiyan… seem to be very close…” Ning Feixuan nodded lightly. “This is also one of the reasons why I’m a little at a loss. If he and Feiyan have really taken some steps in their relationship, then I…”
“He is not married, and you are not. What are you worried about?” Ning Mengru tapped Ning Feixuan’s forehead, both helpless and amused. “If you do nothing, are you just going to hope that he will have a change of heart?”
These words made Ning Feixuan stunned. That’s right. He was not married, and she was not. Even if she wanted to pursue Mingyan, so what? Could Huang Feiyan say anything?
And, Huang Feiyan had never shown her that she liked Mingyan very much. At least she had never said it herself. Then why couldn’t Ning Feixuan pursue Mingyan?
Thinking of this, Ning Feixuan’s whole mental state immediately recovered. She looked at Ning Mengru and said sincerely, “Thank you for clearing my doubts, Master… I understand now!”
Seeing this, Ning Mengru patted Ning Feixuan’s shoulder again and smiled slightly. “Think twice before you act. Don’t regret it, don’t leave any regrets. So if there is anything you want to do, just do it.”
“Yes!” Ning Feixuan nodded vigorously. She had already made up her mind to… make Mingyan fall in love with her again!
Since Mingyan had already liked her once, then there could be a second time. Or perhaps, a rekindling of old feelings…?
But, Mingyan’s current attitude towards her was subtle. After the Ning family matter was over, Mingyan had shown an attitude of not even wanting to be friends with her. And now, although they had become so-called friends again, it was more of a nominal friendship…
The distance between them had become a foregone conclusion after the Ning family matter was over…
If she told Mingyan her thoughts just like this, she would most likely not get the reply she wanted. On the contrary, she would very likely be rejected by Mingyan.
She was not as strong as Mingyan. If she was rejected by Mingyan once, then she… whether she could still summon the courage to face Mingyan, she herself did not know. So, she could not directly tell Mingyan her feelings… she needed to let Mingyan know through other means…
Here, Mingyan and Yue Qingying came out of the room. Yue Qingying helped Mingyan straighten his collar. The blush on her face had not yet faded. “After this, when you are with Feiyan, let’s just pretend you rejected me. Don’t let her find out, unless you are ready to let her know about these things.”
“Senior Sister… I have really wronged you,” Mingyan gently caressed Yue Qingying’s fair and smooth beautiful face, a little pitying. “You have given so much.”
“Since I have already promised you, I will not go back on my word,” Yue Qingying shook her head and then chuckled lightly.
Mingyan was indescribably moved. To have such a considerate and virtuous wife, he was truly blessed from a previous life.
“Actually, during this time, I have had some dreams intermittently,” Yue Qingying gently rested her head on Mingyan’s chest and said softly, “I have dreamed of some things that I have not experienced before. They may be scenes from the future…”
“That’s just a dream, Senior Sister. Those things can’t be taken seriously,” Mingyan shook his head.
“Hmm… I know… don’t you want to hear what I dreamed about?” Yue Qingying’s smile was gentle.
“If you want to tell me…” Mingyan nodded.
“This time, it seems to be a different future from what I dreamed of before. In this future… I seem to have reached the Great Dao,” Yue Qingying leaned against Mingyan, her slender jade-like hand gently caressing his chest, and said in a soft and gentle voice, “I dreamed that we had lived… a long life. I can’t remember many of the details…”
“This seems to be a good ending, doesn’t it?” Mingyan smiled slightly.
“Yes… but, even so, you, who failed to become an Emperor, only lived for nine thousand years…” Yue Qingying sighed softly. “If we could live forever, that would be great…”
Mingyan didn’t know if a Human King Physique could live a second life like a Supreme Dao Great Emperor after taking a whole immortal medicine. But from his senior sister’s meaning, it seemed that he had not lived a second life. Mingyan smiled. “Isn’t nine thousand years enough?”
“Not enough. I want to be with you forever. So after you left me, I went with you,” Yue Qingying said mournfully.
Mingyan was moved. Just as he was about to speak, he was stunned. Wait…?
“Does this story sound very familiar?” Yue Qingying looked up at Mingyan, a light smile on her lips. “Do you feel like you’ve heard this story somewhere before?”
“Great Empress Yue Ying… and Human King Feng Ling?” Mingyan said in surprise. “This dream you had, the story of these two ancestors seems a bit similar…”
“Yes… it does feel very similar,” Yue Qingying nodded lightly. “Junior Brother… do you believe in reincarnation?”
Mingyan couldn’t help but think of Huang Feiyan. The phoenix was, in a sense, also a rebirth. But… the phoenix’s was not a reincarnation at all, because she had left behind all her life’s blood essence when she transformed into the Dao. And Huang Feiyan’s birth had taken back all this blood essence. Huang Feiyan was not a reincarnation. Huang Feiyan was the phoenix herself. This was not a reincarnation. More accurately, it should be called nirvana…
Reincarnation… does such a thing really exist in this world? Mingyan was silent for a while, then shook his head. “I don’t believe in reincarnation. But my feelings for you, Senior Sister, are still firm and unshakable.”
Hearing this, Yue Qingying chuckled. “I don’t believe it either… and, although the story of the two ancestors is very moving, I don’t like it. Because in the end, both of them passed away. And I want to be with you, Junior Brother, forever… forever…”
Isn’t forever a bit greedy… but Mingyan thought of his sister… perhaps, there really was a way to live forever, maybe?
Yue Qingying let go of Mingyan. “Hmm, we’ve gone off-topic. It’s better if we don’t stay together for too long. Otherwise, Feiyan will get suspicious…”
Hearing this, Mingyan felt a little upset, but he didn’t know what to say. He could only nod.
“Go and accompany Feiyan. She also needs your company,” Yue Qingying smiled slightly.
Mingyan looked at Yue Qingying in silence and finally nodded. But before he left, he lowered his head and kissed his senior sister on the lips, then left.
And after Mingyan left, Yue Qingying smiled slightly. Of course, she didn’t really support Mingyan and Huang Feiyan being together. She still wanted to have Mingyan all to herself.
But you have to give something to get something. To have her junior brother all to herself, in some places, Yue Qingying had to be willing to sacrifice, to widen the gap in Mingyan’s heart between her and Huang Feiyan…
Huang Feiyan was so prone to jealousy. Over time, Mingyan would always feel a little annoyed.
And what about her? Yue Qingying was silently giving, being considerate to her junior brother, and even directly expressing that she could accept Huang Feiyan.
The grievances Mingyan suffered from Huang Feiyan, she would gently resolve. This way, over time, the difference between her and Huang Feiyan would be revealed.
After that, Mingyan would finally be unable to resist and tell her about their relationship. Could Huang Feiyan accept it?
Yue Qingying knew Huang Feiyan too well. How could she possibly accept such a thing? Huang Feiyan would be very sad, and then try to make Mingyan give her up. And what about her? From the very beginning, Yue Qingying had shown that she didn’t mind Huang Feiyan’s existence… she could even, at an appropriate time, express that if Huang Feiyan insisted that she leave, she could, for the sake of her beloved junior brother, satisfy Mingyan and Huang Feiyan…
In this situation, what would Mingyan choose?
Although she was very sorry… but in love, there were only winners and losers. So these means, Yue Qingying had to use them. Otherwise, she herself might become the loser…
She wanted to be the winner in love, so she had to be ruthless…
At this time, Yue Wu Xia walked out. Her gaze was clear and cold. Yue Wu Xia glanced at Yue Qingying. “You took the initiative to let him go and find Huang Feiyan?”
“Yes…” Yue Qingying came back to her senses. Seeing that it was Yue Wu Xia, she smiled and nodded.
“You even took the initiative to push him to another woman? What are you thinking?” Yue Wu Xia frowned. Although she had not interfered in Mingyan’s fickle behavior, she found Yue Qingying’s behavior very strange.
“This is just to make him think I’m more generous,” Yue Qingying explained. She told Yue Wu Xia her general thoughts. Yue Wu Xia looked at Yue Qingying with a strange expression. “You are very good at playing these tricks…”
“This is not a ‘trick’. Love is war. Although there is no bloodshed, one must be careful with every step,” Yue Qingying smiled. “To have the last laugh, you can’t be without some schemes.”
Yue Wu Xia walked past Yue Qingying and into the house. “Although your idea seems very complete, be careful not to try to steal a chicken only to lose the rice. At that time, not only will you have failed to complete your plan, but you will have really pushed him away. If that’s the case, don’t come crying to me then.”
Hearing this, Yue Qingying wrinkled her small nose. “Master… in this aspect, you may not know as much as I do.”
“Do you know a saying in the mortal world? Those who drown are those who can swim,” Yue Wu Xia turned her head, her gaze calm. “Don’t play with fire.”
“Of course not,” Yue Qingying was extremely confident.
Yue Wu Xia withdrew her gaze, then her brow furrowed slightly. “This smell…”
“Smell… ah…” Yue Qingying was still a little confused when she heard these two words, but then her face turned bright red. She quickly used her cultivation method to wave away the lingering smell in the air…
She looked at Yue Wu Xia’s cold expression, a little embarrassed…
