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

14: Section 14Seeing this, Nalan Yanran hastily reached out to cover his mouth, but he, in turn, caught her fingertip and gently bit it. The young lady’s cheeks instantly flushed crimson. She nervously glanced to both sides, seeing that Xiao Mei was still sleeping soundly.

Ya Fei hadn’t even stirred a single hair, which finally allowed her to relax a little. She leaned close to his ear and whispered in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s, ”You... you’re not trying to...”

Before she could finish, she felt an unusual heat pressing against her from behind, like a scorching branding iron, instantly stiffening her body. An unspeakable premonition flooded her heart, swallowing all her unspoken words.

023 Guess who wakes up first?

Yun Xiancheng’s lips curled into a faint smile. He suddenly exerted force, and with an outstretched arm, he pulled Nalan Yanran’s soft body into his embrace.

With a roll, the tables instantly turned, and their figures disappeared into the soft brocade quilt, leaving only faint sounds, like layered waves, echoing softly in the silent room.

Nalan Yanran was caught off guard and let out a gasp. She instinctively stretched out her slender arm to push against his firm shoulder, unsure if the resistance was genuine or not. But then, she suddenly felt the rustle of silk beneath her. It turned out that her Senior Brother had already been mischievous, untying the sash around her waist with one hand.

The gentle morning breeze, carrying the thin curtains, lightly brushed against her jade-like smooth leg, bringing a touch of coolness that made her toes curl into round, jade-like beads.

But she stubbornly bit her luscious lips, not daring to let out a single alluring whimper. The young lady asked in a voice as tiny as a mosquito’s, with a hint of tremor:

”Now, here?” ”Shhh—”

Yun Xiancheng gently nipped her small and sensitive earlobe, chuckling softly. Then, his fingertips moved slightly, ambiguously brushing against Nalan Yanran’s Dantian. ”Mm...”

A faint whimper escaped her throat, like pearls breaking their string, fleeting in an instant.

The young lady tightly pursed her cherry lips, her knuckles white as she gripped half a silk handkerchief. Faint watery reflections in her eyes spread into ripples in the flickering candlelight. His wandering fingertips brushed over her tender skin, and the fire in his heart seemed to burn, turning the fair young lady’s skin pink.

Just then, a fresh morning breeze swept through the curtains, making the wind chimes in Ya Fei’s room jingle. The crisp sound caused the young lady to tense her waist.

She was terrified that the other two would be woken up and dared not make any rash moves—like a ferret held by the scruff of its neck, unable to move.

Her Senior Brother, however, as if playing a prank, poured his hot breath entirely into her sensitive ear, his deep voice like a captivating spell.

”Good Junior Sister, who do you think will discover this scene first? Will it be Xiao Mei, or will Ya Fei be the first to see you like this?”

The young lady felt the fire-attribute Dou Qi emanating from her Dantian and spreading throughout her body, letting out a faint whimper.

In the end, both Xiao Mei and Ya Fei slept very soundly and were not woken by their movements, which could be considered saving some face for Nalan Yanran, the Young Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect.

By mid-morning, when the warm sunlight filled the entire room, Xiao Mei and Ya Fei slowly woke up, opening their sleepy eyes.

When they saw Yun Xiancheng and Nalan Yanran once again sleeping together, they both felt that life was truly too decadent, but also vaguely envious.

”It’s time to prepare the items for the next auction.”

Ya Fei, her face slightly flushed, leaned against Yun Xiancheng’s shoulder and spoke softly, her voice gentle and charming.

Yun Xiancheng heard this, extended a finger, and gently pinched the Beauty’s small and delicate nose, saying with a smile:

”If possible, please help me find any treasures that can nourish the soul. I’ve been feeling a bit weak lately and need to properly nourish my soul.”

”Nourish the soul?”

Ya Fei frowned slightly upon hearing this, then extended a slender finger to gently stroke her smooth chin, pondering:

”Such soul-nourishing treasures are extremely rare, priceless, and hard to come by. However, I will pay close attention to any relevant news, and as soon as I have any, I will inform you immediately.”

While Yun Xiancheng was happily playing with the Young ladies, what was our Xiao Yan doing?

She was still diligently cultivating. Although her journey back was smoother than before, reaching the Dou Practitioner stage, according to the original pace, would still take more than half a year, nearly a year.

Keep it up, our Xiao Yan, you can do it!

”You brat, always appearing and disappearing mysteriously, nowhere to be seen all day, never cultivating seriously. You’re infuriating me!”

The afternoon sunlight streamed into the room through the carved lattice window. Yun Xiancheng gently knocked on Xiao Yan’s door. Instantly, warm steam mixed with a rich medicinal fragrance slowly wafted out from the crack in the door.

The Medicine Lady was seen sitting cross-legged on a floating snow-white lotus platform, her jade-like bare feet gently swaying. The silver bells on her ankles chimed crisply with her turn of the head.

Xiao Yan was curled up in a medicinal tub carved from green jade, filled with warm water infused with Foundation Establishment Elixir.

The warm water barely covered her delicate collarbone, and her damp hair clung tightly to the faint peach-pink side of her neck, making her appear charming and alluring.

”You brat, always appearing and disappearing mysteriously, nowhere to be seen all day, never cultivating seriously. You’re infuriating me!” The Medicine Lady puffed out her cheeks and ungraciously threw a lotus seed carved from green jade at Yun Xiancheng.

The lotus seed arced gracefully through the air and, by the time Yun Xiancheng caught it with a backhand, it had already turned into faint ice marks. Yun Xiancheng twirled the crushed ice between his fingertips and said with a light chuckle:

”I’ve been running around to gather medicinal ingredients for alchemy, not neglecting my cultivation. Please understand, Master.”

The green lotus platform suddenly floated in front of Yun Xiancheng. The Medicine Lady’s tender face, illuminated by the gradually darkening twilight outside the window, appeared exceptionally charming: ”Just remember to cultivate diligently and not slack off.”

All Masters in the world seemed to be the same. From her tender face, Yun Xiancheng saw a concern very similar to Yun Yun’s, which warmed his heart.

”Senior Brother?”

At this moment, Xiao Yan, who had been curled up in the medicinal soup, also poked half of her delicate little face out of the soup.

Her eyes, bright as stars, curiously and secretly observed Yun Xiancheng. The bubbles she exhaled burst on the surface of the elixir, sparkling with tiny golden glints. When she saw Yun Xiancheng’s gaze sweep over, the young lady immediately buried her chin in the water, revealing only her ear tips, red as if about to bleed. ”Look at you!”

The Medicine Lady lightly tapped the lotus platform with her bare feet and flew in front of Yun Xiancheng, extending her scallion-white finger and saying indignantly, ”How dare a grown man trespass into a young lady’s boudoir? Get out quickly!”

As she spoke, she was about to push his back. ”Master, no need!”

Xiao Yan suddenly spoke in an urgent voice, the splashing water wetting her long eyelashes: ”Anyway, I don’t do anything when I take a medicinal bath... let Senior Brother stay and cultivate.” Her voice gradually became as faint as a mosquito’s, growing softer and softer, yet it made the smile in Yun Xiancheng’s eyes deepen. ”Since that’s the case, I’ll stay and learn alchemy with Master.”

The Medicine Lady sighed helplessly, supporting her forehead. The green lotus platform circled Yun Xiancheng three times, seemingly scrutinizing him:

”You brat, you’re always appearing and disappearing mysteriously, and as soon as you arrive, you want to learn something? How could it be that easy?” She suddenly moved close to Yun Xiancheng, her childlike face reflecting mature eyes, appearing particularly contradictory: ”Yaner has not yet condensed her Qi Cyclone, so she naturally cannot learn alchemy. But since you are already a Dou Master level expert... you can indeed begin to learn alchemy.” ”But you, who runs around everywhere, haven’t even prepared an alchemy cauldron. How will you refine medicine?”

”But you, who runs around everywhere, haven’t even prepared an alchemy cauldron. How will you refine medicine?”

Then, the Medicine Lady extended her finger and gently tapped Yun Xiancheng’s head. An ancient pill formula immediately appeared in Yun Xiancheng’s mind. This was a Tier 1 healing pill formula, seemingly very suitable for beginners to start cultivating.

”Hurry up and go buy an alchemy cauldron and medicinal ingredients! And! Don’t disappear again and only come back tomorrow!”

024 Intimate Contact During Alchemy

A cave in the back mountains of the Xiao Family.

Yun Xiancheng straightened the alchemy cauldron, while the Medicine Lady sat on the lotus platform, guiding her Disciple on how to refine pills. Xiao Yan, who was cultivating nearby, also temporarily paused her arduous training and watched Yun Xiancheng’s alchemy.

Yun Xiancheng wiped the sweat from his forehead as the Blood Coagulation Grass slowly and successfully shattered into cinnabar-colored specks within the alchemy cauldron. ”Leaf veins to the east, roots to the south.”

The Medicine Lady lightly tapped the edge of the lotus platform with her bare feet, softly guiding Yun Xiancheng.

She watched Yun Xiancheng’s wind-attribute Dou Technique slowly transform into fire, completely focused. But she was caught off guard as the young man suddenly leaned back, his spine pressing against her.

She immediately smelled the fresh scent of his body, a blend of faint osmanthus and rose, as if sun-drenched. ”You!”

A blush spread across the Loli Master’s face.

Although this sensation made the Loli Master feel as if she were still alive, accidentally being pressed against him like that still made her feel shy.

Yun Xiancheng, as if oblivious, adjusted the angle of the cauldron and turned his head to ask the Loli Master’s tender face, ”What’s wrong, Master?”

As soon as he turned around, his handsome face, like that of an exiled immortal, met the Medicine Lady’s eyes.

Then, his warm breath brushed against her face, making her body tremble naturally.

Though nervous, the Loli Master maintained her dignity as a teacher and didn’t show it. Instead, she continued to guide her good Disciple: ”Don’t forget to reduce the flame by three points... otherwise, it will ruin the medicinal properties.”

Xiao Yan peeked out from the side, fragments of Vitality Fruit still clinging to her wet hair. She held one, idly eating it: ”Senior Brother, is this your tenth attempt already?”

”Don’t disturb him yet!”

The Medicine Lady waved her sleeve, conjuring a cold mist to block the young lady’s view, but she herself couldn’t help but lean closer to the mouth of the cauldron.

Only to see snow-white powder pouring out like moonlight, piling into a small hill on the stone platform—ten-tenths purity, yielding three doses in one attempt. Yun Xiancheng lay back on the bluestone, the stinging pain of mental exhaustion throbbing in his temples.

As his vision blurred, a cool touch suddenly pressed against his brow: ”You capable idiot.” The Medicine Lady knelt by the lotus platform, forming ice crystals with her ethereal fingertips to cool him down. ”Rest for a while.”

The last syllable trailed off. The young man suddenly grasped her wrist, his hot palm feeling the coolness of her spirit body. The Medicine Lady pressed her small hand to her own forehead: ”Master’s hand is even cooler than ice crystals.”

The Loli Master’s small face flushed red.

[Yao Chan Intimacy +5, current intimacy 5/100] ”You idiot, you’re still taking advantage even in this state.”

Xiao Yan also came to Yun Xiancheng’s side at this time, kneeling on the ground. Yun Xiancheng slid down smoothly, perfectly lying between Xiao Yan’s knees. ”Oh!”

The young lady was startled by the sudden lap pillow, her small face slightly red, but she didn’t push Yun Xiancheng away.

Yun Xiancheng’s fingertips emitted a trace of Dou Qi, forming a thin blanket of wind between the young lady’s smooth and fair knees. ”Senior Brother is truly considerate.”

Xiao Yan said, gently stroking her Senior Brother’s hair with one hand.

”This Disciple certainly knows how to take advantage.”

The Medicine Lady recalled their previous intimate interaction and said, but dared not delve deeper.

”Vitality Fruit. This fruit indeed has healing effects. I heard that when injured mercenaries have no medicine, they would directly crush the fruit to collect its juice.”

Xiao Yan held a Vitality Fruit in her hand and accidentally crushed it.

Pale golden juice splattered on Yun Xiancheng’s face. ”I’m sorry!”

The Medicine Lady couldn’t help but say, ”Crushing it is the worst way to use it. Vitality Fruit for medicine needs to have its skin peeled with Dou Qi-wrapped fingertips, not so crudely.” ”I, I’ll clean it up right away!”

The young lady realized she hadn’t brought a handkerchief and was momentarily at a loss as to how to clean the juice. Then, a thought flashed through her mind.

She extended her small tongue and licked Yun Xiancheng’s face, little by little. An unexpected delight!

Seeing such a cute Xiao Yan, Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but reach out and gently stroke the young lady’s flowing hair.

The young lady visibly stiffened for a moment, her small face flushing even more, but she bravely continued to lick the fruit juice from Yun Xiancheng’s face. ”How indecent!”

The Medicine Lady couldn’t help but say, shaking her head as she looked at Yun Xiancheng’s happy expression.

After a good while, the fruit juice on Yun Xiancheng’s face was licked clean by the young lady, leaving a rich scent of green plums. The young lady, blushing, spoke incoherently:

”I, I’m going outside the cave to cultivate Dou Techniques.” She fled, holding up her skirt, like a startled snow rabbit.

After the young lady fled, Yun Xiancheng’s mental energy also recovered quite a bit. He returned to the alchemy cauldron once more.

The Medicine Lady hugged her knees, floating above the alchemy cauldron, her bare feet lightly tapping the cauldron’s rim every now and then: ”Don’t think that just because you have good talent you can be lax. When I learned alchemy back then,

I studied hard all alone, without any cute Junior Sisters to serve me.”

Yun Xiancheng picked up a Vitality Fruit covered in night dew: ”Then Disciple will offer Master the service that is many years late.” A clear breeze suddenly surged from his fingertips, enveloping his fingers, and the Vitality Fruit was peeled open, revealing its flesh.

”I’m a spirit body... are you messing around, brat?!” [Side Quest: Elixir of Honey]

[Venerable Yao, the Medicine Lady, now only exists as a spirit body, living in Xiao Yan’s ring. She is very satisfied with her two Disciples. However, living as a spirit body prevents her from experiencing this world again—but you can give her touch, you are her window to experience this world.]

”I’m not messing around, Master, please eat the fruit.” Yun Xiancheng said.

The Medicine Lady was also stunned by Yun Xiancheng’s serious demeanor.

”Fine, fine, I’ll play along with your little act.” She opened her small mouth and gently bit into the fruit flesh.

The next moment, her pupils sharply constricted; she looked utterly disbelieving of what she was experiencing. [Yao Chan Affection +10, current affection 55/100]

She took a few bites, completely eating the Vitality Fruit, then looked up at her Disciple with her small face.

”Master, what’s wrong?” Yun Xiancheng asked with a half-smile.

”Disciple is Master’s good cotton-padded jacket, aren’t I?” ”Yes.”

The Medicine Lady replied softly, then lightly coughed:

”It’s time to refine medicine!” Hearing this,

Yun Xiancheng threw a Vitality Fruit into the cauldron and began refining pills.

The fierce flames ignited. Compared to his first attempt, Yun Xiancheng was now familiar with the process, so no major errors occurred.

However, Yun Xiancheng suddenly felt playful and simultaneously threw Poppy Flowers into the cauldron. ”Refining herbs simultaneously requires controlling two different flames at once.”

Seeing this, the Medicine Lady, though somewhat anxious, hastily patted Yun Xiancheng’s shoulder and reminded him what to do. ”It’s your first time refining medicine, you should prioritize stability, really.”

With the Loli Master’s guidance and embrace in his ears, Yun Xiancheng dared not be distracted.

Controlling two flames at once consumed a large amount of his mental energy, preventing him from being distracted or teasing the Medicine Lady. ”His alchemy performance... truly impressive.”

Seeing the perfectly controlled flames, the Medicine Lady couldn’t help but praise the young man’s mental energy talent.

Yun Xiancheng pressed his palms against the cauldron ears, the scattered hair on his forehead quickly becoming soaked with sweat—the pale green fruit and Poppy Flowers were gradually turning into powder in the fire. ”Now!” The Medicine Lady stomped her bare feet on the lotus platform, but her spirit body passed through the cauldron due to exerting too much force.

Yun Xiancheng took the opportunity to wrap his arm around her waist, his nose brushing against the crown of her head as he chuckled, ”Master’s skill at throwing herself into my arms is even more exquisite than alchemy.” The golden light that suddenly burst from the cauldron swallowed the Medicine Lady’s indignation.
