Chapter 66: Can’t Just Leave You and Feiyan Unattended
Huang Junyi held the Emperor Feather, able to feel the aura within it.
That was her ancestor. She knew very well that this Emperor Feather came from the same source as her.
“The Phoenix ancestor should have only left one Emperor Feather,” Huang Junyi looked at the feather in her hand and pondered for a moment. “Where did you find it?”
“I ascended the Demon Clan’s sacred mountain once and found it at the summit,” Mingyan said. “I hope you can keep this matter a secret, Sister.”
This wasn’t something worth showing off. If it got out, it would likely cause a lot of trouble for both him and Bai Ze.
“Of course,” Huang Junyi chuckled. “I’m not that stupid… But the question is, why was this Emperor Feather on the Demon Clan’s sacred mountain?”
Mingyan said, “When I went up the mountain before, Bai Ze didn’t mention this to me. The Emperor Feather was just placed on the summit without any protection. It feels like she was completely unaware.”
Huang Junyi thought for a moment and said, “It’s hard to explain… Could Bai Ze have intentionally let you get it?”
“Why through me?” Mingyan shook his head. He had considered this reason but couldn’t figure it out. “The appearance of the Emperor Feather on the summit is definitely not that simple… but it’s hard to draw a conclusion now. I will find some time to ask Bai Ze some questions and investigate.”
Huang Junyi nodded slightly and chuckled. “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
“You’re being too formal, Sister,” Mingyan smiled. The Huang Family treated him as one of their own, so he naturally treated the Huang Family as his own.
“Are you just… giving it to me like this?” Huang Junyi looked at the Emperor Feather in her hand. She couldn’t feel any reluctance from him. He didn’t even give the feather a second glance.
If it were anyone else, it would be fine. After all, the Emperor Feather could only be used by those with phoenix bloodline. If others obtained it, besides using it to trade with the Huang Family for benefits, there was no other use.
But Mingyan was different. He could use the Emperor Feather, which meant that to him, it was not just something that could be used to trade with the Huang Family for benefits. It could become his life-saving trump card.
One must know that the ability of the Huang Family’s Emperor Feather was extremely heaven-defying.
Since ancient times, there have been many cultivation methods and magic treasures that could allow one to possess several times their strength for a short period of time, but most of them had extremely serious consequences, ranging from injuring one’s cultivation to costing one’s life.
Even his * would drain his stamina, which was already a very light punishment.
Ning Feixuan’s “Western Spirit Physique” could also, to some extent, double her strength in a short period of time, but the Western Spirit Physique was very special; the strengthening was localized, so there was no punishment.
But the Emperor Feather was different. Using it had no side effects, just that it also had a time limit and couldn’t be used to strengthen oneself indefinitely.
But this point was already extremely rare. As far as Huang Junyi knew, besides the Emperor Feather, there was no second method in the world that could so simply and so greatly increase one’s strength without a terrifying price.
“What do you mean by that, Sister?” Mingyan was a little surprised to hear this, not quite understanding her meaning.
“I mean, something as precious as the Emperor Feather, you’re just giving it to me so easily? The Huang Family is willing to make some exchanges with you…” Huang Junyi chuckled.
Mingyan frowned. “What are you talking about, Sister?”
“You really don’t want to exchange anything?” Huang Junyi naturally knew what she was saying. A faint smile was on her beautiful face. “If it were anything else, I wouldn’t say a word and would just accept it, because it’s you who gave it to me, and you’re not an outsider. But the Emperor Feather is extremely important to the Huang Family and has a special meaning. To just accept it like this, my heart can’t be at ease.”
“Do you still feel you owe me, Sister?” Mingyan smiled helplessly. “Why don’t you think about it carefully, Sister? It’s much more worthwhile for me to return the Emperor Feather to the Huang Family than to use it to exchange for something. Anyway, if it’s returned to the Huang Family, if I want to use it in the future, would you not be willing to lend it to me? This way, the Huang Family will also feel they owe me a favor. Don’t you think so, Sister?”
“So you’ve known all along…” Huang Junyi was a little surprised and then chuckled. “I thought you were just naively thinking that since the Huang Family is good enough to you, you would just return it to us.”
“It’s better not to say it so clearly,” Mingyan pursed his lips. “Besides, to me, even without that consideration, this Emperor Feather would still be returned to the Huang Family. The Huang Family is already extremely good to me. The Emperor Feather is so important to them. If I still covet other things, then that wouldn’t be me.”
Huang Junyi sighed softly in her heart. This little brother was not as naive as she had thought. He actually understood what he was doing and would also consider the benefits. But obviously, in his heart, benefits were definitely not the first priority.
That was right. These words didn’t need to be said so clearly. If they were, it would feel like their relationship was mixed with some impurities.
“It was I who was being too serious,” Huang Junyi chuckled and shook her head. “Then I’ll accept it. It seems the Huang Family owes you another favor. We can’t repay it all.”
“Aren’t you repaying it now by following us and protecting us, Sister?”
“That doesn’t count. I came here out of my own thoughts,” Huang Junyi’s smile was charming. “I can’t just leave you and Feiyan unattended.”
Those words… the Temptress Sister is worried about his and Feiyan’s safety, right? It should be like that, right? Mingyan hesitated. For some reason, he always felt that there was a hidden meaning in her words.
“There will always be a time when I need the Huang Family’s help,” Mingyan didn’t think about it anymore and said.
“Yes. Also, why did your master come here? I’ve never seen her so… flustered. In my impression, since we were young, I’ve never seen your master get angry…” Huang Junyi looked at Mingyan. This was definitely related to him, but as for the specific reason…
“Because I was too disappointing, made a mistake, and let Master down,” Mingyan sighed softly. “I hope Master can calm down soon.”
“Hehe, what young person doesn’t make mistakes?” Huang Junyi chuckled. “Your master is just too concerned about you, that’s why she was so flustered. If you make a mistake, just correct it. A cultivator’s life is too long. How can everything be done perfectly? You will always make mistakes for various reasons.”
Huang Junyi did not ask what mistake he had made, giving him enough face. Mingyan smiled faintly. “Then I’ll take my leave first, Sister.”
“Hmm…” Huang Junyi looked at the Emperor Feather in her hand, unprecedentedly well-behaved, not taking the opportunity to take advantage of him.
The Emperor Feather…
Mingyan can also use the Emperor Feather. I need to tell my big sister this information as soon as possible…
Indeed, Mingyan is the lucky star of the Huang Family. To have been able to bring him back and form a good relationship was truly the right thing to do.
