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

22: Section 22The Young lady suppressed the embarrassment in her heart, raised her head, and gazed at Yun Xiancheng’s flawless, handsome face with a pleading look. Smelling the faint body fragrance emanating from him, she asked in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.

Yun Xiancheng did not respond to her immediately. Instead, he deliberately used his hand to gently stroke her beautiful legs, which were clad in Ice silk stockings, savoring the delicate and smooth sensation.

That strange sensation surged into her heart again, making her body go numb once more.

Yun Xiancheng’s palm gently stroked the line of her taut leg. The surface of the Ice silk stockings was slightly stained with fine sand and un-

melted snow water from the recent battle, making them look a bit dirty.

However, as his large hand gently brushed over them, the tiny dust and stains vanished instantly, as if by magic, becoming clean and new again.

Xiao Yu’s body trembled slightly, seemingly trying desperately to resist a strange sensation, but she eventually gave up the struggle. She merely panted in shallow breaths, trying to calm her violently pounding heart.

This was an extremely secluded spot on the Back Mountain of the Xiao Family, rarely visited by people, so they did not have to worry about being discovered. Xiao Yu bit her cherry lips tightly, her delicate body trembling slightly, and her exquisite, beautiful face was filled with shyness and nervousness.

At this moment, the standard light purple short skirt she wore, which symbolized her status at Jia Nan Academy.

had been roughly pulled up to her waist by Yun Xiancheng, revealing the snow-white undershorts embroidered with Silver Thread Dark Patterns beneath, making her look even more alluring. Because her right leg was forced high, her toes nearly touched Yun Xiancheng’s shoulder.

The delicate Golden Bell chain on her ankle also chimed crisply—ding-dong, ding-dong—along with her rapid gasps. The sound was clear and pleasant, yet carried an indescribable hint of ambiguity.

The Young lady’s fair earlobes were so red they looked ready to bleed.

Yet, she stubbornly widened her bright, watery eyes and stared straight at Yun Xiancheng, seemingly wanting to express her dissatisfaction and resistance through her gaze.

She had barely uttered half a syllable before it was abruptly cut off by an uncontrollable tremor in her throat, preventing her from speaking a complete word. Yun Xiancheng’s thumb, slightly calloused, was gently resting on the pure white silk material, slowly circling.

Even through a thin layer of Ice Silkworm Silk, one could clearly feel the warm, soft, and delicate sensation, making one yearn to explore deeper. In the distance, a deafening roar faintly echoed through the valley.

Startled, three or two Cold Crows resting on the branches flapped their wings, soaring across the sky dyed red by the sunset, leaving behind lonely silhouettes. Yun Xiancheng’s slender knuckles gently tapped the Young lady’s soft knee pit, instantly causing the delicate Golden Bell chain to ring chaotically again. The sound was

crisp and rapid, like rain hitting plantain leaves.

His warm palm, pressed against the cool, smooth Ice silk stockings, slowly moved three inches, meticulously smoothing out the last few wrinkles left by the battle until they were flat and new.

Xiao Yu’s slightly trembling final sound brushed past Yun Xiancheng’s ear like a feather, then dissipated in the wind, full of helplessness and pleading. Yun Xiancheng’s long index finger hooked the silver thread dark pattern at the edge of her undershorts.

The Young lady’s toes, wrapped in Sheer Stockings, curled slightly. The cold wind of winter blew across their bodies.

She felt a chill rush straight from her soles to her head, and her whole body couldn’t help but shiver. Yet, even this couldn’t suppress the fine beads of sweat on her neck. At this moment, she could no longer speak a complete sentence, only allowing Yun Xiancheng’s fingertips to wander wantonly over her body, teasing her fragile

Suddenly, Yun Xiancheng’s fingertip abruptly pressed down with increased force, and the young man’s index finger was swallowed half an inch deep. Xiao Yu immediately trembled violently, her delicate body involuntarily tensing up.

The Golden Bell chain on her ankle also shook violently, emitting a rapid and disorderly chime, crisp and melodious, like rain hitting plantain leaves.

The Young lady’s toes were tightly straightened. Through the thin layer of Ice silk stockings, her pink, tender toe tips were faintly visible, delicate and incredibly tempting.

The exquisite Silver Thread Dark Patterns on her undershorts were also glistening from the constant seep of her sweat, making them even more seductive.

A few broken whimpers spilled from her throat, small and helpless. Her entire person, like a kite with a broken string, uncontrollably tilted forward.

038 Soft and Pliant Xiao Yu

Seeing this, Yun Xiancheng was quick to react. He extended his long arm and steadily wrapped it around the Young lady’s slender waist, which was small enough to be encircled by a single hand.

Following the momentum, he pulled her soft body into his embrace, feeling a yielding softness and a sweet fragrance—the unique, refreshing scent of a Young lady. Xiao Yu took the opportunity to lean her smooth forehead lightly against his shoulder, and her waterfall-like Black Hair scattered, concealing her now flushed cheeks.

She parted her shell-like teeth slightly, gasping for breath. Her chest rose and fell dramatically, like stormy waves crashing on the shore. Her cheeks were flushed like the sunset, a beauty beyond compare.

Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and clear tears seemed to slip down, quietly tracing her creamy face, leaving shallow wet trails that made her look even more delicate and pitiful, inspiring compassion.

At this moment, Xiao Yu was completely limp, as if she had lost all her strength, finding it difficult even to lift a single finger.

She could only let Yun Xiancheng hold her tightly, feeling his warm and powerful arms. Xiao Yu rested her forehead against his shoulder, her Black Hair scattered wildly, symbolizing the Young lady’s chaotic state of mind. She panted in small breaths, her cheeks flushed, and a few crystalline tears dropped as her eyelashes fluttered.

The mountain breeze gently swept past, carrying a few emerald bamboo leaves that landed on the Young lady’s greenish-blue skirt hem, emphasizing her fresh and refined appearance.

Her dark, soft Black Hair was scattered haphazardly, the tips still bearing a few drops of undried dew, emitting a faint fragrance. Merged with the quiet valley, she looked like a stunning painting.

After a long while, the Young lady gradually sobered up, feeling that the young man in her arms was utterly hateful.

She slowly raised her delicate fist and gently tapped his shoulder. The force was as soft as a butterfly flapping its wings, completely harmless. However, her body had deeply imprinted that strange sensation in her memory, unable to shake it off.

A quiet, elegant lily fragrance silently spread from her, intermingling with the fresh scent of bamboo leaves nearby, forming a unique and captivating aroma that was intoxicating.

”Don’t... tell anyone about what happened today. Not a single word!” Xiao Yu lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, so faint it was almost inaudible.

The Eldest Sister of the Xiao Family lowered her head, her cheeks flushed like March peach blossoms, and even her earlobes were tinged with the color of the sunset. ”Mhm.”

Yun Xiancheng lightly kissed her forehead, his movement gentle as if afraid of disturbing a sleeping butterfly. He then set her down. As soon as the Young lady stood up, she stumbled forward two steps, causing the Golden Bells on her toes to jingle chaotically.

He quickly supported her slender waist, allowing her to lean on his shoulder as they walked slowly. [Xiao Yu

Realm: Three-star Dou Practitioner

Favorability: 20 → 50/100 (They say the Eldest Sister is like a mother. Xiao Yu is very concerned about her younger sisters, so you, who helped the sisters reconcile, are very pleasing to her.)

Intimacy: 10 → 40/100 (The host’s bold actions left a deep impression on Xiao Yu, and you truly aren’t afraid of Xiao Yu’s aversion.) [Side Mission Unlocked: Beginning of Jia Nan]

[The Young lady, having entered Jia Nan Academy, has seen a wider world and more geniuses—but compared to you, they are slightly inferior. Your courage, control,

sense of control, and desire for conquest have unknowingly influenced the Young lady.]

Only by daring to fight will you win.

Yun Xiancheng was also somewhat fearful afterward; such behavior could easily lead to the Young lady’s aversion. However, the Young lady did not resist, but rather seemed to be enjoying the situation.

This must be attributed to the Finger Techniques he had honed on Ya Fei over the past few months, which were superb and instantly caused the Young lady to succumb.

Moreover, it seems Xiao Yu is the type suited for Forced Affection, being a little soft and pliable. Combining these two aspects prevented Xiao Yu from feeling aversion.

Thinking this, Yun Xiancheng embraced the Young lady from behind. Her body tensed slightly, but she soon relaxed.

”Don’t do this in front of my younger sisters, okay?” she said.

Yun Xiancheng leaned close to the Young lady’s ear and licked her bright red little ear. ”Okay.”

After the two returned to the ceremony venue, they saw Xiao Ning and Xiao Yan competing on the Martial Arts Platform.

“Xiao Yan, what kind of love potion did you give my sister?” Xiao Ning said, clearly displeased.

It was obvious why Xiao Ning occasionally bullied her within the family and added fuel to the fire against Xiao Yan.

He viewed Xiao Yu’s concern for Xiao Yan as Xiao Yan giving Xiao Yu a love potion, thus leading him to resent Xiao Yan.

Well, they are just children after all, and the reason for bullying doesn’t need to be good, just present.

Even if his physique wasn’t suited to this era, and he hadn’t received modern education, he hadn’t learned how to refine a Post-Graduate Elixir... which was a good thing.

When Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yu walked back to the crowd, Ya Fei, Yan Ran, and Xiao Mei immediately noticed that Xiao Yu seemed somewhat different. This change was subtle, but the three Young ladies, having vast experience, immediately guessed that Xiao Yu might have also fallen victim to the poison hand.

“Hehe, this way, Sister Xiao Yu and I are practically becoming even closer relatives, right?” Xiao Mei smiled contentedly, shaking her little head, chuckling inwardly.

Thinking about her three sisters living together under one roof in the future, Xiao Mei felt very happy. Yan Ran, however, was much more numb, only thinking that perhaps she should pinch Xiancheng’s waist more often, as it felt quite nice. Ya Fei’s expression was complex, and she seemed to be starting to reflect on whether she had been too demanding.

Xiao Xun Er lacked this experience, but she was very good at analyzing the atmosphere. She clearly sensed the suggestive expressions of the three Young ladies and analyzed what might have happened—oh wow.

Xiao Xun’er looked at the changed Xiao Yu, and to say she wasn’t curious would be a lie.

”Why are Xiao Ning and Xiao Yan fighting?” Xiao Yu asked, looking at the two battling on stage.

Yun Xiancheng briefly stated his guess. Xiao Yu frowned:

“Nonsense. Family members should help each other. For Xiao Ning to blame his siblings over such a matter... truly chills the hearts of the family.”

“Xiao should teach him a lesson. If he can wash away the lead and return to simplicity later, that’s fine, but I fear he’ll go astray.” “It depends on his destiny.”

Yun Xiancheng was not Xiao Ning’s relative, although theoretically, he was currently courting his sister.

But he was generally only nice to pretty girls; for everyone else, maintaining courtesy was enough. If anyone dared to provoke his family, he would kill them.

Xiao Ning was currently at the eighth segment of Dou Zhi Qi. Facing Xiao Yan’s ninth segment of Dou Zhi Qi, he was completely suppressed and retreated steadily against Xiao Yan’s attacks. ”Sister!?”

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Ning saw the person who terrified him standing beside Xiao Yu. His Dou Qi operation failed, and Xiao Yan seized the opportunity, punching him off the platform. ”Winner, Xiao Yan!”

Xiao’s ninth segment of Dou Zhi Qi caused some spectators to exclaim in surprise, realizing that the genius of yesteryear had truly returned. Ya Fei, meanwhile, smiled slightly, calculating how to use Xiao Yan to advertise and boost the brand reputation of the Foundation Establishment Elixir.

With the end of the battle, the Young ladies of the Xiao Family were about to go up for the ancient Coming-of-Age Ceremony. “How troublesome.”

Xiao Mei was slightly glum. Before leaving, she kissed Yun Xiancheng on the forehead.

With various spices draped over them, the Young ladies performed the Heaven-Worshipping Ritual, which carried a sense of sacredness, allowing Yun Xiancheng to feast his eyes. During this interval, Yan Ran grabbed Yun Xiancheng’s hand:

“There are more and more little sisters now, and they’re all from the same family. Senior Brother is truly blessed.”

Yun Xiancheng nodded, pinching the Young lady’s small nose: “Little Jealous Treasure.”

039 Yan Ran Misunderstood Something

Yun Xiancheng sat in the Xiao Family Side Courtyard, holding a pot of hot tea.

He saw a flowering crabapple tree in front of the courtyard, its branches lush, letting a few streaks of sunlight filter through.

The light penetrated, casting mottled shadows on the bluestone slab, falling onto Yan Ran’s face. After the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, the Xiao Family disciples would go to the Dou Qi Pavilion to select cultivation methods.

The faint clamor of the newcomers heading to the Dou Qi Pavilion drifted over, isolating this small area into two separate worlds. This excitement, naturally, had nothing to do with Yun Xiancheng.

After all, the Xiao Family’s Library Pavilion mostly contained Yellow-rank Cultivation Methods, which were truly beneath his notice.

“I need to go back and continue preparing for the auction. Xiao Yan said she is willing for me to use her story for publicity. With this, if my younger brother’s master brings over the next batch of Foundation Establishment Elixir, we can make a fortune.”

Ya Fei wore a red silk dress, which accentuated her alluring figure. She looked at Yun Xiancheng and opened her lips to say: “The relevant medicinal ingredients have also been gathered.”

Ya Fei lightly tapped her storage ring, took out several boxes of medicinal ingredients, handed them to Yun Xiancheng, and then spoke again:

“I just wonder if the Giant Shark Mercenary Group will send people to bid again.” “They definitely will.”

Yun Xiancheng smiled faintly, accepted the medicinal ingredients, and said confidently:

“They absolutely won’t realize they were exposed so quickly. In their view, everything was seamless, and they never showed any flaws.” “As long as a mercenary wearing the Giant Shark Mercenary Group’s emblem steps into the auction house, we can follow the vine to find the melon and capture them in one fell swoop.”

The two pressed their foreheads together, their noses lightly touching, exchanging a kiss as a temporary farewell. Ya Fei took delicate steps, turned, and departed, the faint fragrance clinging to her seeming to linger in the air.

Thus, only Xiao Yu and Yan Ran remained in the courtyard.

At this moment, Xiao Yu was sitting on a chair in the side courtyard. Yan Ran sat beside her, elegant and composed.

Sunlight spilled down, coating Xiao Yu’s fair earlobe with a faint halo, like a coral bead dipped in milk, tracing her slender swan neck down into the depths of her crossed collar.

A pale purple ice-silk school uniform dress further highlighted her graceful figure. She looked in Yun Xiancheng’s direction, her fingertips clutching the skirt turning white.

Her pearly teeth lightly bit her red lip, leaving shallow crescent marks, revealing her inner nervousness and unease.

Yan Ran looked at her appearance, wondering inwardly what this Young lady had done with her good Senior Brother to become so shy? While the Young lady was still puzzled, she saw the figure of her Senior Brother, who had just bid farewell to Ya Fei, suddenly move.

Clad in a mysterious black robe, his sleeve brushed past the weeping flowering crabapple in front of the steps, stirring up a light breeze as he walked toward Xiao Yu. The clean, sun-drenched scent instantly enveloped the Young lady.

His long, slender fingers gently lifted Xiao Yu’s chin, only to see her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, afraid to meet his gaze. After a long moment, Xiao Yu finally blushed and uttered in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz: “Pervert.”

Hearing this, Yan Ran immediately gave Xiao Yu a thumbs-up, agreeing internally: “Heh! That’s right, Senior Brother is a pervert.”

However, her expression remained unchanged, and she tried her best to minimize her presence. Clearly, Xiao Yu was still brooding over what had just happened.

She tightly gripped the hem of her skirt, her head bowed low, not even daring to look Yun Xiancheng directly in the face. Yet, her tone carried a hint of coquettishness, suggesting she wasn’t truly disgusted.

If she were truly repulsed, she probably wouldn’t have uttered the word “pervert” with such a flirtatious undertone.

Hearing this, Yun Xiancheng neither confirmed nor denied it; he simply pulled Xiao Yu gently into his embrace, saying tenderly: “I apologize, I will take responsibility.” As soon as he said this, Xiao Yu’s cheeks instantly turned crimson, like a ripe, tempting apple.

For some reason, her heart also began to beat faster, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.

“Senior Brother... already did it with her?” Nalan Yanran slightly parted her lips, feeling somewhat shocked. “Will you really go to Jia Nan Academy afterward?”

She suddenly asked, raising her head slightly, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in her eyes as she cautiously looked at Yun Xiancheng.

“Of course. Isn’t Jia Nan Academy recruiting students soon? I will go.” Jia Nan Academy probably has many cute Young ladies; I definitely can’t miss it.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu’s heart swelled with joy, and she instinctively gripped the corner of Yun Xiancheng’s robe tightly:

“With your current age and strength... even at Jia Nan Academy, you would definitely be top-tier. I believe you will certainly pass the assessment.” She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then added:

“Besides, the instructor recruiting this time... is my instructor. When the time comes, I’ll take you to meet her. She will definitely be very satisfied with you.” “Mhm, I’m looking forward to it too, Yu’er.”

Yun Xiancheng extended a finger and lightly tapped Xiao Yu’s nose, unable to suppress a doting smile.

Xiao Yu’s personality was actually very gentle. Although she could maintain the appearance of an elder sister when facing the Young ladies of her family, her soft and gentle nature was undisguised when she was around her peers.
