Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

7: Section 7When the time comes, I’ll build a Hundred Flowers Palace in the Endless Fire Territory and bring all the harem members over. Everyone will live happily together.

Just as Yun Xiancheng was daydreaming, Medicine Lady taught Xiao Yan the Flame Mantra. Then, she lifted her youthful yet charming face and said to Yun Xiancheng:

”Xiancheng! Your cute junior sister wants to cultivate. Aren’t you going to prepare some medicinal herbs?” Upon hearing this, Yun Xiancheng nodded and said, ”Please instruct me, Master.”

”Three stalks of Purple Leaf Orchid Grass, two plants of Bone-Cleansing Flower, and one Wood-element first-tier magic core. They’re all cheap stuff. You can get your hands on them, right?” ”Of course.”

Yun Xiancheng agreed.

”Alright then. You two prepare first. I’m going back to rest.”

Loli Master Medicine Lady stretched, revealing her graceful waist.

Then, a puff of dust flew by, and she returned to the ring. Afterward, her face flushed red as she muttered to herself:

”How... how could I possibly have feelings for a teenager? That boy’s physique must be special. Even a spiritual body can’t resist it?” Medicine Lady crossed her arms, sat cross-legged on the Lotus Platform, took a deep breath, and suppressed her emotions.

”Senior Brother... I feel like ever since you appeared, my luck has turned around.” Xiao Yan looked up at Yun Xiancheng and said.

Yun Xiancheng nodded and shamelessly walked up to her, embracing her in his arms. ”That means I’m your lucky star.”

The young lady blushed again. Such intimate contact made her heart race.

[Xiao Yan’s closeness +5. Current closeness: 25/100] ”Only when no one’s around, okay?”

She whispered softly, smelling Yun Xiancheng’s sun-like scent. ”Mm.”

Yun Xiancheng buried his face in the young lady’s dark, beautiful hair, took a deep breath, and smelled the fragrance of unripe green apricots. ”You should familiarize yourself with the Flame Mantra that Medicine Master passed on to you. I’ll handle the pill matters for you.”

Yun Xiancheng whispered gently in her ear, the warm breath from his nose casting a faint red veil over the young lady’s ear.

”Those medicinal herbs cost about a thousand gold coins. This is something Medicine Master refined for me... I should at least pay a bit.” Then, the young lady took out three hundred gold coins—her savings over the years.

The materials Medicine Lady wanted were easy to obtain, costing only about a thousand gold coins. For Yun Xiancheng, it was easy to get them.

But for Xiao Yan, it was different. After all, everything is relative.

Since the young lady had such intentions, Yun Xiancheng naturally wouldn’t refuse. ”Mm, then I’ll accept them.”

After putting the gold coins from the young lady’s hand into his storage ring, Yun Xiancheng took the opportunity to gently squeeze her palm. Xiao Yan giggled in surprise, her laughter crisp and pleasant, like silver bells ringing in the spring breeze.

Yun Xiancheng’s hand mischievously slid up the young lady’s arm, all the way to her cheek, giving it a gentle rub. The young lady let out a whimpering moan.

After playing around with her for a while, Yun Xiancheng bid farewell to the young lady. He went down the mountain and returned to the Xiao Family courtyard.

From afar, Yun Xiancheng saw Xiao Mei. She was wearing a peacock blue dress, the color particularly bright under the sunlight. Xiao Mei seemed to be looking for someone, glancing around.

Then, as if she had spotted her target, her face immediately lit up with joy, and she waved vigorously at Yun Xiancheng. Thump!

The young lady was quite bold, unhesitatingly throwing herself into Yun Xiancheng’s arms.

The peacock blue hem of her dress swept over the green brick ground, shimmering with the soft luster unique to silk. As Xiao Mei rushed over, she carried a faint, fresh, and sweet rose body fragrance.

Yun Xiancheng’s left hand, wearing the storage ring, brushed over her tender nape. The black iron ring surface reflected a cold glint in the sunlight.

The fine hairs on the young lady’s neck stood on end from the touch, and she immediately let out a trembling, kitten-like whimper. ”Young Master, where have you been? I’ve been looking for you so hard.”

Unlike the reserved and restrained Xiao Yan, Xiao Mei was relatively more proactive.

Perhaps it was also related to the first time they met, when Yun Xiancheng accidentally made her speak her true feelings. That extreme sense of shame had made her less resistant to these hugs and embraces now.

A faint light flashed in Yun Xiancheng’s eyes as System information appeared before him: Xiao Mei

Realm: Dou Zhi Qi, seventh stage

favorability: 60/100 (When she sits quietly in her seat, dressed like a little peacock, not daring to overstep any rules, and your youthful new generation’s silhouette, standing against the older generation, is imprinted in her pupils. This is somewhat unbelievable to her. At the same time, your arrival brought change. She realized some of her past words and actions were inappropriate. All of this stirred waves in this young lady’s heart. Keep it up, and soon you can enjoy her.)

Closeness: 20/100 (Squeezing and hugging excite her.)

”I went to visit Xiao Yan. I saw her leave alone and was worried about her safety.” Yun Xiancheng told the truth. Xiao Mei showed an ”I knew it” expression:

”Young Master is too gentle. Miss Yan Ran is also looking for you. She even said you must have gone to secretly meet with Xiao Yan.”

How could this be a secret meeting? Yan Ran is slandering me! Yun Xiancheng inwardly grumbled.

011 The Two Delicate Flowers of the Xiao Family

Yun Xiancheng’s palm cupped Xiao Mei’s nape. The young lady’s peacock blue dress bloomed like a flower under the moonlight, spreading ripples layer by layer.

The hair ornament in the young lady’s hair tinkled coldly due to her shyness. The crisp sound mixed with the unique sweet rose fragrance from her hair, lingering at the tip of his nose.

Xiao Mei’s nose lightly brushed against the cloud-patterned trim of Yun Xiancheng’s black brocade inner garment, as if kissing his scent. A moonbeam-like glow spread around the bright moon at her ear, dyeing it a hazy amber. The young lady’s eyes sincerely stared at Yun Xiancheng, as if wanting to deeply imprint this handsome young master in her heart.

By now, Xiao Mei had roughly understood Yun Xiancheng’s personality. He was a gentle person.

Xiao Mei had also read books and deeply understood the principle: ”One takes on the color of one’s company.”

She thought that such a gentle person like him would definitely not like those opportunistic, ill-intentioned girls.

If he knew she used to be that kind of opportunistic girl... would she still have a chance? Xiao Mei asked herself in her heart. The young lady looked up at Yun Xiancheng and softly asked:

”Young Master, would you like a girl whose personality might be a bit opportunistic?” Upon hearing this, Yun Xiancheng was somewhat surprised she would ask such a question.

It seemed she was still brooding over her past opportunistic behavior.

Yun Xiancheng smiled slightly, reached out, and gently patted her head. ”Of course not. People with bad personalities are to be kicked out of the harem.”

”So, Xiao Mei, you need to change and become the kind of person I like—a gentle and generous one.” Yun Xiancheng gently lifted her chin with one hand and continued:

”First, you should apologize to Xiao Yan until she forgives you.” Yun Xiancheng pointed out the direction and goal she needed to strive for.

Xiao Mei nodded vigorously. From these instructions, she felt his expectations and concern for her. She grabbed Yun Xiancheng’s hands and said earnestly, ”I will. I definitely will.”

Moonlight poured down, and the young lady’s sincere and determined expression was clearly reflected in Yun Xiancheng’s eyes. She also longed to change, to become the kind of person he liked.

She also remembered Yun Xiancheng’s confident and composed silhouette when he calmly faced the Grand Elder, that unique elegant aura. ”That one from the Cloud Mist Sect, you’re quite capable.”

Just as Xiao Mei was gazing affectionately at Yun Xiancheng, an elegant yet slightly teasing voice sounded in their ears. Yun Xiancheng followed the sound and looked.

He saw a young lady with hair cascading like a waterfall to her waist and a graceful figure slowly approaching. It was Xiao Xun Er, whom he had met once before.

A golden flame ignited in Xiao Xun Er’s clear eyes, illuminating her exquisitely beautiful face brilliantly. ”It hasn’t been long, yet Xiao Mei, the Xiao Family’s delicate flower, has already become your captive.” Xiao Xun Er’s tone carried a hint of playfulness.

Upon seeing Xiao Xun’er’s arrival, Xiao Mei reacted like a bristling kitten, casting a somewhat wary gaze at this unexpected guest. Yun Xiancheng paid no mind to Xiao Xun’er’s teasing, merely offering a slight bow and saying:

”Good evening. Although we’ve met once before, this encounter truly marks our first formal meeting. I am Yun Xiancheng, a visitor from the Cloud Mist Sect. Xiao Xun’er, Xiao Yan’s younger sister.”

Her gaze fell upon Xiao Mei in Yun Xiancheng’s arms, a hint of ambiguous amusement in her eyes as she remarked:

”When we first met, you were hugging and clinging to Nalan Yanran. Now, you’re hugging and clinging to our Xiao Family’s Xiao Mei. It seems you, a disciple of the Cloud Mist Sect, are quite the lecher.”

Yun Xiancheng nodded calmly and replied frankly:

”Beauty is innate. I appreciate beauties, using my eyes to admire the exquisite wonders meticulously carved by heaven and earth.”

Then, he looked at Xiao Xun’er, smiled slightly, and said, ”Just as Xun’er’s Beauty is the same.” ”A bit too glib-tongued,”

Xiao Xun’er shook her head, though there was no anger in her eyes, and continued:

”However... thank you nonetheless. You protected Yan’er’s integrity and even found a reason to explain the cause of her Dou Zhi Qi loss.”

Xiao Xun’er, after all, was a descendant of an ancient clan, so she naturally didn’t fully believe the excuse Yun Xiancheng used to fool everyone. Yet, from his words and actions, she could sense his genuine concern and protection for Xiao Yan.

”As the only former rival in this family qualified to compete with me, she hasn’t spoken to me for three years. It makes me feel quite bored.”

A trace of envy appeared on Xiao Xun’er’s face. ”You, on the other hand, can talk to people as soon as you arrive. That’s nice.” Yun Xiancheng carefully pondered the deeper meaning in the young lady’s words.

[Xiao Yan lost her Dou Zhi Qi. After her mother passed away, she became disheartened and actively cut off contact with Xiao Xun’er. The former rivals who once competed against each other haven’t spoken for three years.]

(She is as lonely as snow in the Xiao Family, finding it difficult even to seek someone to talk to.) Simultaneously, the System information in his eyes flickered.

[She is very lonely, seemingly yearning for something different. This could be used as a breakthrough point.]

”Thank you for your gratitude, Miss. Yan’er is also my adorable junior sister. Looking out for her is only natural.

Even Xiao Yan’s younger sisters are like my own family, so naturally, I will help whenever I can.” Yun Xiancheng said, reaching out to pat Xiao Mei’s head. Xiao Mei was no longer maintaining that ”bristling” wary state. Feeling Yun Xiancheng’s warm hand, her expression became very comfortable, and she obediently nuzzled against it. ”You...” Xiao Xun’er chuckled softly, her laughter as pleasant as silver bells.

His desire to build a harem was never concealed; he was quite an honest person. He doesn’t even plan to let me off.

Probably just another young master type who relies on his status to act recklessly. A fleeting thought crossed Xiao Xun’er’s mind. She then straightened her brows, shrugged her shoulders, cast aside these distracting thoughts, and continued with the main matter.

”Yan’er... does she really have a chance to recover?” Her tone became serious. ”Naturally,” Yun Xiancheng replied, bringing Xiao Mei closer to Xiao Xun’er. ”Moreover, tomorrow, I plan to take her to the market to purchase medicinal herbs for cultivation.”

Looking at Yun Xiancheng’s face, Xiao Xun’er took two slight steps back but still caught the faint, refreshing scent emanating from him.

This refreshing scent penetrated her nostrils, bringing a comforting aroma that the young lady firmly remembered. The young lady’s previously tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

”Are you showing off something?” Xiao Xun’er said somewhat annoyed.

”I mean, since you are both Xiao Yan’s younger sisters, why not go out together?” Yun Xiancheng explained.

”Me? Can I go too?” Xiao Mei was taken aback upon hearing this, then remembered Yun Xiancheng’s instructions to her and immediately nodded vigorously: ”Mhm! I’ll do my best.”

Hearing this suggestion, Xiao Xun’er’s heart also stirred.

This guy from the Cloud Mist Sect has refinement and is quite reasonable, far from those idiotic young masters. Her eyes lit up, and she nodded: ”Let’s do as you suggest.”

Subsequently, the young lady’s originally serious expression immediately softened, becoming much more relaxed. She walked over to Yun Xiancheng and carefully examined his face.

She seemed to ignore Xiao Mei below. Xiao Xun’er finally nodded heavily:

”Since you arrived, everything boring has changed a bit. That’s good. Should I thank you?”

Then, without waiting for Yun Xiancheng to speak, she moved slightly and slowly departed, leaving only a faint scent of purple lotus lingering in the air.

”Remember? Tomorrow, you must accompany your sister out.” Yun Xiancheng gently tapped Xiao Mei’s forehead, reminding her again.

”Mhm, mhm.” The young lady obediently agreed twice, then left, looking back with each step. At this moment, the crescent moon hung high in the night sky; it was already quite late.

Yun Xiancheng strode back to the carriage, only to see Nalan Yanran sitting cross-legged on the carriage bed, pouting angrily.

”You philandering scoundrel, you’ve already met so many younger sisters just after leaving the Cloud Mist Sect.” She muttered. ”But you will always be my first.” Yun Xiancheng walked over and embraced the young lady in his arms.

The young lady broke free from Yun Xiancheng’s embrace and said, ”I smell two different floral scents on you. One is Xiao Mei’s, and the other is Xiao Yan’s, right?”

Nalan Yanran said, pushing Yun Xiancheng down onto the bed, one hand drawing circles on his chest.

”Correct.” Yun Xiancheng never concealed his thoughts, admitting frankly. ”When can I become your younger sister?” Nalan Yanran said with a light laugh. Nalan Yanran waved her hand, and the carriage curtains slowly closed.

An invisible barrier enveloped the entire carriage; this was the Anti-Peeping Barrier provided by the System. In the darkness, the young lady seemed to be using her teeth to undo some restraint.

”Must teach the lecherous Xiancheng a lesson.” She murmured to herself. Yun Xiancheng once again skillfully pinned Nalan Yanran beneath him.

Although in darkness, both had excellent vision, largely unaffected.

He gently kissed Nalan Yanran’s fair neck. ”Then come, my dear.” He said in a low, husky voice.

Moonlight spilled through the gaps, the jade pendant at the young lady’s waist and the clasp at Yun Xiancheng’s waist colliding, emitting crisp, pleasant sounds. The red coral hair ornament adorning the young lady’s black hair swayed in the moonlight, like dancing flames.

The sachets hanging from the four corners of the carriage trembled, blending Yun Xiancheng’s body scent with the ephemeral fragrance emitted by the young lady’s perspiration, brewing an intoxicating, ambiguous aroma... 012 Dating should be done with Young ladies!

Leaning by the window, Xiao Yan’s eyelashes fluttered slightly,

Feeling the vibrant flow of Dou Zhi Qi within her body, a flash of joy crossed the young lady’s eyes.

It feels great to still have Dou Zhi Qi! Should I continue cultivating today?

Her daily life was usually this dull: cultivate, work, then get dragged away by some blind old woman to do hard labor. How could a young lady’s body endure such hardship? It left various scrapes and bruises on her.

Leaning against the window frame, she focused her gaze, pondering today’s arrangements. At that moment, an extremely soft ”click” sounded from beside her. On the window frame, a section of a dark robe with hidden patterns suddenly reflected.

Yun Xiancheng lightly tapped the window with his knuckles, the rhythmic sound startling the Blue-Crowned Sparrows under the eaves. ”Good morning, Xiao Yan.”

The young lady was startled, hurriedly pulling together her loosely worn sleeping clothes.

But the collarbone on her lapel was still fully visible to the scoundrel Yun Xiancheng.

The young lady’s cheeks flushed, her voice tinged with shyness: ”Senior Brother, how do you appear and disappear so mysteriously? Also, isn’t this the women’s courtyard? How did you get in?” [Xiao Yan’s intimacy +5, currently 20/100]

Yun Xiancheng curled the corner of his mouth slightly, explaining: ”I happen to live next door to you. Stepping out brings me right to your window.” It turned out that Family Head Xiao Zhan had thoughtfully arranged the guest room next to Xiao Yan’s.

To the right was Xiao Mei’s room; the left one happened to be vacant, so he smoothly moved in. Hearing this, Xiao Yan instantly understood her father’s intention.

She thought to herself: ”Is Father really treating me as Senior Brother’s destined partner? But what about Xiao Mei and Xun’er?”
