Chapter 74: Ning Mengru Is Tired
Mingyan was not an impatient person, but when the atmosphere was right for certain things, he would not be shy.
The timing just now was indeed good. Seeing that Yue Ningshuang was shy but had no thought of refusing, Mingyan knew that going with the flow was the best choice.
But his sister’s words made Mingyan a little confused…
Although Mingyan had verbally agreed, he was very puzzled.
To say that Yue Ningshuang was special… he couldn’t really feel it.
Particularly beautiful?
That doesn’t count as… special, does it?
At least around him, there were many beautiful people. Not to mention other places, just in this Yaochi, there was still Ning Feixuan. Before, when An Ran was at Yaochi, she was not bad either. Aunt Ning, his sister Wang Qingchu, and if looking beyond Yaochi, then there’s Feiyan, his Senior Sister, the Temptress Sister, Nishang, Feiyan’s mother Huang Junru, his little aunt, Elder Yue Qingyou, Gu Hanshuang, Jade Peony, Bai Ze, his master Yue Wu Xia…
Thinking about it this way, there were many beautiful people around Mingyan. After seeing so much beauty, one would naturally overlook it. Just like air to a mortal, it had become a commonplace thing. Normally, one would not pay much attention to it. Of course, unless it was gone.
So, in Mingyan’s view, was Yue Ningshuang beautiful? Of course she was. Very beautiful. Her clothes were as beautiful as a flower, and her every smile could move one’s heart. But this aspect was not very special, because Mingyan had seen too much. What he cared about were other things.
There were also special aspects. For example, her way of pursuing him, which was to humble herself to the dust, was very special. But this should not be the reason why his sister had stopped him.
So, why didn’t his sister let him touch Yue Ningshuang?
Mingyan walked back, puzzled, thinking about this question. But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn’t figure it out.
On the way, Yue Wu Xia contacted Mingyan with the concentric pendant, asking when he would be back.
So Mingyan roughly explained the situation here. Yue Wu Xia soon fell silent.
Of course, Yue Wu Xia naturally hoped that Mingyan would come back early. The current Mingyan always gave her a feeling that he could lose control at any time, especially after Wang Qingchu’s revival and after Mingyan had almost gained the ability to do whatever he wanted.
Once such a Mingyan lost control, his destructive power would be astonishing. Because Wang Qingchu herself might not do anything bad—she was, after all, a former female hero. But her doting on Mingyan gave him the opportunity to use her powerful strength…
Mingyan’s original heart was naturally not bad. Yue Wu Xia knew her own disciple very well. But not being bad was one thing…
Wang Qingchu was a female hero. Yue Wu Xia had no right to evaluate her; history had already proven her worth. And Mingyan’s original heart was not bad. The two of them together, it seemed there would be no problem. But the problem was that Wang Qingchu’s “education” of Mingyan was “laissez-faire.”
Yue Wu Xia still remembered what Wang Qingchu had said to her when they first met…
Wang Qingchu wanted Mingyan to release his true nature, to make him more unrestrained…
A strong person like Wang Qingchu, who had advanced step by step, generally had amazing self-control. Yue Wu Xia herself was also a Saint and had some experience in this. But for Mingyan to suddenly have a half-step Great Dao sister who doted on him without a bottom line… was equivalent to suddenly obtaining incomparably powerful strength. Such obtained strength could easily corrupt the originally good-hearted Mingyan.
And once he was corrupted… then he probably couldn’t be pulled back. Although Yue Wu Xia was already a Saint, Wang Qingchu was a half-step Great Dao. In this world, besides the Great Empress, who could stop her?
Yue Wu Xia was a little anxious, but she knew that now, she couldn’t force Mingyan to do anything…
She had to increase her importance in Mingyan’s heart. She had to use herself to stabilize Mingyan’s thoughts, to get him to rationally use the power he could now wield.
After Mingyan left Wang Qingchu’s place, he went straight to Yue Ningshuang’s residence. After all, he had left in a hurry at that time, and he didn’t know if Yue Ningshuang would overthink it.
And Ning Mengru, who knew Mingyan was on his way, was also a little anxious. This Ning Feixuan didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving. Ning Mengru coughed twice. “Feixuan, you go back first. I still have some things to deal with…”
There are things that need to be dealt with?
Hearing this, Ning Feixuan understood in an instant. If there was something that required her to leave to be dealt with, then it must be related to Mingyan.
Ning Feixuan was silent for a while, nodded lightly, and did not deliberately stop Ning Mengru…
After all, she was still willing to believe her master. No matter why Ning Mengru had to disguise herself as another person and develop such a relationship with Mingyan… she was already his intimate partner. Perhaps if she whispered in his ear, Mingyan’s view of her would change?
She still… wanted to go back to how things were with Mingyan too much… no, strictly speaking, she wanted to go back to Mingyan’s previous attitude towards her, while she herself would be different from before. Not only would she respond to Mingyan, but she would also do her best to please him…
So, Ning Feixuan actually didn’t want any changes to happen after she had just made a little bit of progress.
“Then, Master, I’ll go and find my senior sister first,” Ning Feixuan nodded lightly. Hearing this, Ning Mengru smiled and nodded. As long as Ning Feixuan left and didn’t pester her, everything was fine…
After Ning Feixuan left, Ning Mengru directly transformed into Yue Ningshuang and instantly appeared in Yue Ningshuang’s room.
She had been really tired recently. It wasn’t that her body was tired from changing back and forth. She was now a Saint; the strength of a Saint’s body was naturally immense. She could perform this transformation hundreds of millions of times. The tiredness… was mental. Although Ning Mengru and Yue Ningshuang were one and the same, they were two personalities that were completely different.
At the beginning, for Ning Mengru, becoming Yue Ningshuang allowed her to release some emotions that she would not normally show. For her, venting a little was not bad. But she had to be Ning Mengru in the end. So when she returned to being Ning Mengru, she had to restrain herself again…
Over time, after a few switches, Ning Mengru began to get a little confused. Was Yue Ningshuang the disguise, or was Ning Mengru the disguise…
When she was Yue Ningshuang, her personality was more inclined to her true self. But it was a fake identity. She had to be careful not to reveal herself and be discovered.
When she was Ning Mengru, it was her real identity. But in all aspects, she needed to be more careful… not to be discovered by Mingyan and Ning Feixuan…
Yue Ningshuang sat in the courtyard and saw Mingyan walk in. A smile appeared on her face, but it was a little forced. After seeing it, Mingyan quickly came over. “Ningshuang, why do you look unwell? Are you angry…?”
“Huh? No, no…”
