Chapter 17: Ningshuang on the Left, Wuxia on the Right
Huang Nishang lowered her head, seeming to ponder for a moment before saying, “Don’t underestimate your help to me. I’ve been stuck at a certain realm for a long time. You can help me break through to the next one. For a cultivator, this is a tremendous opportunity.”
“…Then that’s good,” Mingyan nodded. Although he couldn’t understand how he, a mortal, could help Huang Nishang, who was likely a very powerful existence in the entire cultivation world, he didn’t have the knowledge, and Huang Nishang did, so he had no right to question it.
To possess such strength at such a young age… after Mingyan came to his senses, he truly felt like a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh.
But this way, he could understand why Huang Nishang, such a favored daughter of the heavens, would come here… Mingyan was willing to believe that Huang Nishang was not deceiving him.
He wouldn’t think less of Huang Nishang because of this, assuming she was a person who would sacrifice her own chastity to improve her strength.
After all, he had also seen her concern for Huang Feiyan with his own eyes. The reasons a person does something are often more than one; one’s view cannot be so one-sided.
“…Do you think I’m despicable, that I would use my own chastity in exchange for an increase in strength?” After Huang Nishang had spoken, she looked at Mingyan calmly for a long while before speaking again. It seemed she had also realized her words just now were a bit strange.
Mingyan had just been thinking about this question. At this moment, he smiled frankly and said, “I don’t think that at all. I can only feel your care and concern for Feiyan.”
“…” Huang Nishang herself couldn’t explain why she cared so much about Huang Feiyan. She said, “From the first day I came here, the first moment I saw you, I felt you could be trusted. A voice deep in my heart told me so as well, and I found myself unconsciously willing to get close to you… Do you believe in the concept of past lives?”
Mingyan tilted his head. “Past lives? Do you mean something like reincarnation?”
Huang Nishang nodded lightly. “Perhaps we knew each other in a past life. Otherwise, I can’t explain why I would inexplicably trust you and feel close to you. In a past life, we were probably very intimate.”
Mingyan was stunned. He thought of the images he had seen before. Was that a past life?
He seemed to have seen Huang Feiyan, seen Wuxia, and seen Ningshuang in those images. It seemed he had indeed seen Huang Nishang as well…
Speaking of which, from the very first time Mingyan had seen Huang Nishang, he had never felt any suspicion towards her.
Do past lives really exist?
“You are special. That is why I truly made such a decision, to help you and Feiyan, and also to help myself,” Huang Nishang said calmly. “I am not the kind of woman who doesn’t respect herself. It is only for a special reason that I am willing to make this sacrifice.”
Mingyan nodded. “I understand what you mean, Cousin. You don’t need to explain further. I have never looked down on you.”
Mingyan’s tone was sincere. After all, this was his truest thought; he just needed to say it out loud, frankly, without fabrication.
Huang Nishang looked up at Mingyan, staring at him for a long while. Mingyan thought he could see a hint of a smile in her eyes, but he couldn’t be sure until she withdrew her gaze. “That’s good… I… actually have some good feelings for you. You are quite to my liking.”
“Is that so?” Mingyan smiled, a little embarrassed.
Huang Nishang looked down at Mingyan’s hand holding hers, was silent for a moment, and said, “I don’t resist you getting close to me. Perhaps… you really are the best choice for me.”
The best choice…
Mingyan looked at Huang Nishang. Was she willing to stay?
…
After leaving the mansion, Mingyan went to the royal palace. He arrived at the Moon Shadow Palace. Before he even entered, he could faintly hear Yue Ningshuang’s voice. It seemed she was also at her sister’s place.
The maids at the door saw Mingyan arrive and respectfully called out, “Your Highness.” After Mingyan nodded, he pushed the door open and walked in.
Yue Ningshuang was indeed at Yue Wuxia’s. The two sisters were talking about something, their expressions a bit subtle.
When they saw Mingyan walk in, Yue Ningshuang stood up, walked over quickly, and hugged Mingyan’s arm, saying with a grin, “Husband? You’re here~”
“Shameless.” Hearing Yue Ningshuang call him ‘husband’, Yue Wuxia’s brows furrowed slightly. Her expression returned to its usual clear and cold look. She glanced at Yue Ningshuang. “You haven’t even married him yet, and you’re already calling him husband.”
“What’s the big deal? Anyway, the only ones here are the two of us, Mingyan’s future wives, and Mingyan, our future husband~” Yue Ningshuang didn’t care about such formalities, especially since there were no outsiders. She shrugged, pouted, and was completely unbothered.
Yue Wuxia rolled her eyes. Seeing this, Mingyan simply took Yue Ningshuang with him and sat down in Yue Wuxia’s seat, then pulled both of them onto his lap, one on the left leg, one on the right.
Yue Wuxia sighed but said nothing, while Yue Ningshuang’s smile was exceptionally bright. She knew her sister wouldn’t resist.
With two beauties in his arms, Mingyan had one arm around the elder sister Yue Wuxia’s slender waist, and the other around Yue Ningshuang’s. Both were tall, slender beauties, and as he held them, they blocked his view.
“These past few days, have you set a date for the wedding?” Yue Wuxia turned her head and asked.
“Not yet. Because there’s one more thing to take care of before that. After that, we can get married,” Mingyan smiled. “My two wives won’t have to wait long.”
“Is Sister getting anxious?” Yue Ningshuang said with a giggle. She poked Yue Wuxia’s stomach with her finger. “So eager to get married and carry on Mingyan’s family line?”
Yue Wuxia couldn’t help but raise her hand and slap Yue Ningshuang’s hand away. “You mischief-maker… At least I plan to call him husband after I marry him. You haven’t even married him yet, and you’re acting as if you have.”
Yue Ningshuang giggled, turned sideways, and kissed Mingyan on the lips. “Husband, whose performance do you like more right now, mine or my sister’s?”
“I like yours more,” Mingyan said with a grin.
Yue Wuxia turned her head and gave Mingyan an eye-roll but didn’t make a fuss. She knew Mingyan was definitely saying it just to provoke her. “Intimacy before marriage. If word of this got out, the reputation of our Yue family would be completely ruined by you two.”
“Will word get out?” Yue Ningshuang’s smile was confident. “Besides, Sister, it’s not good for you to be so uncooperative~ We’re both Husband’s fiancées now. Shouldn’t we go along with whatever he wants to do?”
Yue Wuxia snorted coldly. “As if he’d behave himself even if I didn’t go along with him.”
With that, she patted Mingyan’s mischievous hand on her thigh and said, “Ningshuang and I have both been seeing some strange images recently.”
“Strange images?” Mingyan subconsciously thought of the scattered images he had seen, and his heart couldn’t help but stir. “Tell me in detail?”
Yue Wuxia then told Mingyan about the images she had seen. After Yue Wuxia finished, Yue Ningshuang also described the images she had seen.
These images all had one thing in common: in them, they were all with Mingyan. Mingyan raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help but think of what his cousin, Huang Nishang, had said. “Do you… do you believe in past lives?”
“Past lives?” Yue Ningshuang had a moment of realization. “Husband, are you saying those were our past lives?”
“It’s possible,” Mingyan nodded. “Actually, I’ve seen some images too. Things I’ve clearly never experienced, yet the impression is deep.”
Yue Wuxia pondered for a moment, then looked up, thinking of those images of herself with Mingyan. Although there was no sound, she felt as if she could sense the feeling of them being together, which seemed to carry a faint warmth. The expression on her face softened. “If we were husband and wife in a past life…”
“Then we are still together in this life, which means our fate hasn’t ended. Maybe in the next life, and the one after that, we’ll still be together,” Yue Ningshuang said with a giggle, then kissed Mingyan on the face several more times.
Yue Wuxia really couldn’t watch anymore. She reached out and pushed Yue Ningshuang away, her brows raised. “Do you have any sense of propriety and decency?”
The originally touching scene had been stirred up by Yue Ningshuang’s few words and had taken on a different flavor. Yue Wuxia was also exasperated.
Yue Ningshuang’s smile grew even brighter. She glanced at Mingyan and nudged her chin towards Yue Wuxia. Mingyan immediately kissed Yue Wuxia on the face several times.
Yue Wuxia didn’t resist. Her face was burning hot, her gaze slightly evasive, but her face didn’t move away.
Watching from the side, Yue Ningshuang shook her head repeatedly. In truth, her sister was just a little annoyed that Yue Ningshuang had been kissing Mingyan constantly, but she was unwilling to lower herself to kiss him. So when Mingyan took the initiative, she began to enjoy it.
Sigh, so stubborn. That bad habit still hasn’t been cured.
But it was fine. At least, it was much better than before.
As Yue Ningshuang was thinking, she remembered those images again… actually, besides the images of herself, she would occasionally remember some scenes where she seemed to be someone else… she seemed to be another person…
There were also scenes with Mingyan, but the Mingyan in those scenes was very respectful towards her, not like a husband and wife…
But there was no need to mention these images. After all, she was more willing to accept the scenes where she and Mingyan were more intimate.
Yue Ningshuang came back to her senses, looked at Yue Wuxia beside her, and found that Mingyan was still holding her, his hands roaming up and down. She couldn’t help but be both amused and exasperated.
On one hand, she calls me shameless, but on the other, she doesn’t resist being kneaded all over. Is this my sister’s “propriety and knowledge”?
Yue Ningshuang watched this scene with a grin and didn’t interrupt, just watching her husband bully her sister. Besides, she actually really liked this role.
When her husband was intimate with her, he was her brother-in-law. When he was intimate with her sister, he was her own husband, her sister’s brother-in-law. This sense of transgression was really interesting.
How exciting.
Yue Wuxia clearly knew Yue Ningshuang was watching, but she didn’t refuse Mingyan’s closeness because of it. On the contrary, she was enjoying it. Anyway, she wasn’t the one who initiated it; Mingyan was.
Mingyan hadn’t been able to resolve his “problem” for a while and was actually quite pent up. But no matter how much he took advantage, he couldn’t go all the way, so he didn’t bully Yue Wuxia for too long. He looked up and saw Yue Ningshuang looking at him from the side, saying with a grin, “Is that enough? Husband? Don’t you want to do something more to my sister?”
Yue Wuxia was silent, but her gaze couldn’t help but shift to Mingyan, as if waiting for his answer.
Although Mingyan was like an arrow notched on a bow right now, he couldn’t let it fly carelessly. This was reserved for Huang Feiyan. Only by hitting the bullseye directly could he be without restraint later. Besides, even though these days had been a bit torturous, Mingyan was not an overly lustful person. So he smiled and said, “No hurry. On our wedding night, neither of you sisters will be able to escape.”
“Alright, alright~ Then my sister and I will play ‘stacking’~ Sister, do you want to be on top or on the bottom?” Yue Ningshuang asked Yue Wuxia with a giggle.
Even though Yue Wuxia was used to being calm, Yue Ningshuang’s words made her blush profusely. “Pah, who wants to play ‘stacking’ with you! Shameless! And you’re a princess!”
Hearing the word ‘stacking’, Mingyan couldn’t help but swallow. He looked at Yue Ningshuang and gave her an appreciative glance. My wife Ningshuang has so many ideas. Good, good, good!
Receiving Mingyan’s praise, Yue Ningshuang giggled, not caring about such things. “Sister, we’re sisters, you know. Of course we have to make good use of the advantages of being sisters. Are you dense?”
“What kind of advantage is that?” Yue Wuxia was a little speechless. This shameless thing was called an advantage?
But since Yue Ningshuang had already said it, even if she was unwilling, Mingyan would probably force her to do it…
Thinking of this, Yue Wuxia’s face was expressionless. At that time, it probably wouldn’t be a matter of whether she wanted to or not.
Mingyan smiled, saying nothing, but everything was understood without words.
“And, Sister, shouldn’t you go and meet Huang Feiyan?” Yue Ningshuang said. “Even if you two have equal status in the future, that will be our home for some time. You definitely have to go.”
Yue Wuxia was silent for a moment, then nodded lightly. “Yes, I know…”
If she wasn’t going to live there in the future, Yue Wuxia wouldn’t go to see Huang Feiyan. But she would definitely have to move in for a period of time. Her father had no intention of retiring now, so that would be their residence for a long time. It was time to go and see Huang Feiyan.
Since she had already agreed to Mingyan and that he didn’t have to divorce his wife, Yue Wuxia felt there was no need to make the relationship too tense. As long as the other party didn’t actively pressure her, she planned to lower her own stance a little.
Yue Ningshuang squinted and smiled. She didn’t tell Yue Wuxia about Huang Nishang; she wanted Yue Wuxia to see for herself.
It’s not just us sisters here. If my sister doesn’t work hard, her status is really precarious, you know?
Seeing Yue Wuxia agree, Mingyan also breathed a sigh of relief. In truth, he also wanted to take Yue Wuxia back, but although she had accepted the fact that he wouldn’t divorce his wife, to actually have Yue Wuxia take the initiative to visit their home…
Thinking of this, Mingyan couldn’t help but look at Yue Ningshuang again and gave her an appreciative glance. She was truly his considerate little padded jacket. Speaking of which, didn’t that make Ningshuang his little sister-in-law now?
As the old saying goes, a little sister-in-law is always the brother-in-law’s considerate little padded jacket. That saying really wasn’t wrong!
