Chapter 185: What if I Say, I Don’t Want to Refuse?
Mingyan walked forward and held Ning Mengru’s hand. “Is Aunt Ning worried that after I know the truth of the matter, your image in my heart will collapse? If you are worried about this, then you can rest assured.”
Ning Mengru bit her cherry lips. After hearing this, only then did she slowly turn her head and glance at Mingyan. The area around her eyes was actually a little red, and her eyes were even a little moist.
“Mmm… how should I put it? The direct and lively Ningshuang is you, and the gentle, dignified, and generous Aunt Ning is still you. There is no such thing as an image collapse,” Mingyan smiled slightly. “So, Aunt Ning, you don’t have to worry about this.”
Ning Mengru pursed her lips. She took a few deep breaths. “You… Feixuan… you two… when… did you know…?”
“It’s been a long time,” Mingyan smiled. “Aunt Ning, are you finally planning to admit it?”
Ning Mengru turned her head to the side again. “Since… since you already know, then why… didn’t you expose me earlier?”
“Because, I think perhaps only with a dual identity, under the identity of Yue Ningshuang, can you completely release yourself… and, I was waiting for you to tell me on your own… but just now, you said you wanted to talk to my sister… my sister promised you that she would help you hide, and even erase the existence of ‘Yue Ningshuang’, right?” Mingyan looked at Ning Mengru calmly and asked.
Ning Mengru pursed her lips. “…Don’t blame the ancestor… it was I who asked her to hide it…”
“Of course I won’t blame my sister, nor will I blame you, Aunt Ning,” Mingyan smiled slightly. “I just don’t want you to deal with the identity of ‘Yue Ningshuang’.”
“…” Ning Mengru didn’t know what she was thinking, and her beautiful face flushed. She was a little ashamed. “You… when you heard me ask you to pursue me, were you… thinking it was very ridiculous?”
“Of course not. I understand your thoughts. No matter what the purpose was, when you first approached me with Ningshuang’s identity, you must not have been in love with me. You approached me for a certain purpose. I think it might be related to Feixuan, right? Later… maybe the act became real, but it was indeed through… a way that completely disregarded yourself. So, you wanted me to take the initiative to pursue you. I can completely understand your thoughts. It’s very normal. I won’t think it’s ridiculous, because I have always felt that I owe Ningshuang.” Mingyan shook his head, denying Ning Mengru’s thoughts.
Hearing Mingyan’s words and seeing his serious expression, Ning Mengru’s heart was a little complicated…
In fact, in Ning Mengru’s heart, although she still hoped that Mingyan would like the identity of Yue Ningshuang—after all, that was also a part of her—she also felt that for herself to be given away for free like this, how could Mingyan cherish her too much? At this moment, hearing Mingyan’s heartfelt words, she didn’t know what to say…
“I feel very lucky to be liked by you, Aunt Ning,” Mingyan held Ning Mengru tightly and smiled slightly. “And, to me, there is actually a very good thing. Ning Mengru, although she has already agreed to become my Dao companion, is at the same time still the Queen Mother of the West, the face of Yaochi. She not only belongs to me, but also to Yaochi. But Yue Ningshuang is completely mine, just mine…”
Hearing Mingyan’s words, Ning Mengru’s ears were burning hot, and her earlobes were flushed red. She said shyly, “You… what are you talking about…”
“Am I not?” Mingyan smiled slightly. “Could it be that Ningshuang is not mine alone?”
Ning Mengru turned her head away, pretending to ignore Mingyan. Mingyan leaned over with a grin and kissed her on the face.
“Aiya… what are you doing…” Ning Mengru’s whole body trembled. “I am Ning Mengru now! Not Yue Ningshuang. You are not allowed to kiss me!”
“But you are now also my Dao companion, my wife. What? I can’t kiss you?” Mingyan held Ning Mengru tightly. Since he had already been frank with Aunt Ning, then there was naturally no need to hide anything anymore. When she was still Yue Ningshuang, the two of them were already very familiar with each other. Mingyan had even taught her everything he had, leaving nothing behind. If it were that he hadn’t revealed her identity, it would be one thing. But now that he had, and the two of them were so familiar with each other, what restraint and reserve did they still need?
“…” Ning Mengru couldn’t refute Mingyan’s words and was kissed by him a few more times. She was so shy that she wanted to turn away, but she was held tightly by him.
It was also strange to say. As a Saint, she actually couldn’t break free from the embrace of a mere Tai Yi like Mingyan.
Under extreme shyness, Ning Mengru simply used the Emperor-level artifact directly. In Mingyan’s arms, she turned herself into Yue Ningshuang.
Mingyan just watched as Ning Mengru turned into Yue Ningshuang. He blinked, looked at the Yue Ningshuang in his arms, who, although not so plump, was not lacking in the places that should have flesh. After a small pause, he directly bent down, held her by the back of her knees, and held her horizontally.
Perhaps it was because she had changed into the identity of Yue Ningshuang that Ning Mengru’s shyness had improved a lot. She took the initiative to wrap her arms around Mingyan’s neck. “…What are you going to do?”
“I want to do what we used to do often,” Mingyan smiled slightly.
“…I just accepted you…” Yue Ningshuang turned her hot and beautiful face to the side again.
“But we have dual cultivated more than once,” Mingyan smiled slightly. “Although I don’t mind you using this identity of Yue Ningshuang, I think that this time, it’s better to use Aunt Ning’s identity.”
“…Do you want to see me lying under you that much?” Yue Ningshuang muttered softly.
“I have waited a long time,” Mingyan placed Yue Ningshuang on the bed. He said seriously, “But, if you are not willing now, I will not force you. You can make the decision yourself.”
Let me make the decision myself…
Yue Ningshuang lay on the bed, her gaze on Mingyan’s face, her beautiful face flushed. After a long while, she finally let out a long breath. Then she suddenly changed back to Ning Mengru’s appearance and then turned her head to the side, unwilling to look at Mingyan. “Since things have come to this… do I still have the right to refuse?”
“Of course you do,” Mingyan stood where he was and did not pounce. He smiled slightly.
Ning Mengru paused for a while, and only then did she turn her head to look at Mingyan. Her beautiful eyes were a little moist, and her tone had returned to that gentle and dignified feeling. But the words she said were not so dignified. “Then… what if I say, I don’t want to refuse?”
