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

32: Section 32”Is it Xun’er’s guard?”

This thought flashed through Yun Xiancheng’s mind, and he frowned slightly. However, he didn’t feel afraid; instead, a playful smile curled at the corners of his mouth, and a mischievous impulse surged within him.

With this in mind, Yun Xiancheng not only didn’t restrain his behavior, but instead groped Xiao Xun’er even more boldly.

His hands moved like agile snakes across her soft, delicate body, wantonly teasing her sensitive nerves. ”Mmm~ No~”

Xiao Xun’er said this with her mouth, but she couldn’t help but feel excited.

She knew very well that her personal guard, Yinger, must be watching her silently from the shadows at this moment.

She really wanted to know, how would Yinger feel when she saw her and her little hubby being so intimate, even acting somewhat dissolute? Would her loyal little maid feel sad and heartbroken because of this?

Xiao Xun’er’s face was flushed, and she thought with a mischievous sense of humor, a sly smile curling at the corner of her mouth involuntarily. She was just worried that she might attack her little hubby; she must not let her hurt him...

At this moment, Yinger, who had been hiding in the shadows, was kneeling weakly on the ground, her delicate body trembling slightly, her eyes filled with pain and struggle.

She watched with her own eyes as this high and mighty Second Miss of the Gu Clan was wantonly molested by a savage from the countryside. She watched as the Second Miss’s pretty face flushed red, looking at her little lover with tender affection.

On that exquisite and beautiful face, a pair of watery eyes were wide open, as if they were about to shed bloody tears, filled with despair.

As Xiao Xun’er’s most loyal Servant, she longed to rush up immediately and tear the bumpkin who dared to offend the Second Miss into ten thousand pieces to defend the Second Miss’s dignity.

However, as Xiao Xun’er’s most trusted guard, how could she stop the person she liked right in front of Xun’er?

If she really did that, not only would it displease Xun’er, but she might even lose Xun’er’s trust, which was something she absolutely could not accept. Thus, the situation became what it was now: she could only watch helplessly as Xiao Xun’er was wantonly molested by Yun Xiancheng, unable to do anything.

Watching that deeply affectionate and inseparable couple, she felt like a pathetic victim, mercilessly toyed with by fate, her heart filled with sorrow and helplessness.

Of course, Yinger was not a victim; she was just Xun’er’s Servant. ”Your Dou Qi is fine.”

Xiao Xun’er sensed the state of the Dou Qi within Yun Xiancheng’s body; it was a normal foundation, and his roots hadn’t been ruined by excessive forced growth.

On the contrary, his foundation could be considered very solid among his peers. This... After sensing this, Xiao Xun’er couldn’t believe it at all.

Because this either meant that Yun Xiancheng had good resources, or it meant that Yun Xiancheng had honed himself repeatedly.

If Yun Xiancheng’s surname was Gu and he had awakened the Dou Di Bloodline, this would be understandable, but if Xiao Xun’er remembered correctly, this should be the Jia Ma Empire.

This was just an ordinary country in the Northwest Continent, not like the Central Plains with all its resources, let alone the ancient clans. Could it be...

Xiao Xun’er suddenly remembered something.

The reason they, as descendants of the ancient clans, could cultivate faster than ordinary people was because of the power of their ancient ancestors within their bloodlines.

Then what about the first Dou Di ancestor of these bloodlines? The initial Dou Di ancestor obviously couldn’t rely on a Dou Di Bloodline, yet they were still able to become a Dou Di. Clearly.

A true Dou Di does not need a bloodline to become a Dou Di.

A guess flashed through Xiao Xun’er’s mind. Yun Xiancheng might have the potential of a Dou Di.

The young girl buried her head in Yun Xiancheng’s chest, her heart filled with great excitement.

If Xiancheng really had the potential of a Dou Di, then surely Mother and the sisters would agree, right?

She imagined the scene where her little lover took the final step, stepping on colorful clouds, and came to the Gu Clan to propose to her... Yun Xiancheng smiled slightly, reached out to cup the back of Xiao Xun’er’s head, and ran his fingers through the young girl’s hair.

The foundation he built by cultivating with several people like this was certainly more efficient than cultivating alone.

At this moment, the system’s familiar broadcast sounded. [Unlocked Side Quest: Ancient Guard]

[The Second Miss of the Gu Clan, Gu Xun’er, came to this remote place to play, so naturally, she would have a personal guard to protect her. Given the strength of this place, only one Dou Huang was dispatched to accompany Xun’er. This Dou Huang is not a direct descendant of the Gu Clan, but a descendant of a Servant clan, and she grew up with Xun’er. She is a few years older, young and beautiful.]

Hmm, another difference between this world and the original world has appeared. It seems Xun’er’s guard is also a young girl, and one that can be romanced.

Is this what it means to be a young lady of a great clan? There’s even a buy-one-get-one-free element.

060 Fighting with the Young ladies.

Yinger felt a surge of hot blood rush to her head, her chest heaving with turbulent qi and blood. Unable to suppress it any longer, she spat a mouthful of crimson blood onto the ground.

She gritted her silver teeth, her pearly teeth biting her red lips, but her beautiful eyes were like frost, staring fixedly at Yun Xiancheng’s handsome face. ”Madman!”

She whispered, seemingly contemplating whether to deal with Yun Xiancheng later. After all, she was the loyal Servant of the Second Miss of the Gu Clan, and she had her own sense of priorities. When tonight’s events were over, she still needed to remonstrate with the Second Miss and analyze the pros and cons!

A dignified daughter of the Gu Clan, a proud daughter of heaven, how could she be so intimate with this savage from the Northwest border? It was truly beneath her status!

”Tonight, I must find an opportunity to have a good talk with Yinger. Otherwise, given her unyielding personality, if she clashes with my little hubby and causes the situation to worsen, it would be a loss that outweighs the gain.”

Xiao Xun’er rose gracefully from Yun Xiancheng’s warm embrace. As soon as she landed, she immediately began to dwell on this matter.

”No, tonight might be too late; long delays are prone to mishaps. I will find a gap later to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.” Xun’er’s gaze narrowed slightly, and her eyes became firm.

Her little hubby was the man destined for her, Xiao Xun’er. She would never allow him to be offended by any Servant around her, not even the slightest bit of harm; that was absolutely unacceptable!

”Our primary task in this night raid on the Jiale Family is to launch a surprise attack on the Jiale Family’s market in the southeast corner of the city.” Yun Xiancheng said in a calm tone, speaking slowly:

”The Jiale Family surely wouldn’t expect the Xiao Family to dare to strike first and launch a sudden counterattack. Therefore, the defenses at that market probably won’t be too strict right now.”

”This surprise attack is intended to ’beat the grass to startle the snake,’ disrupt the enemy’s formation, and force their main force to gather in one place. Only then can we settle the outcome in one fell swoop and complete the task in a single battle.”

The plan was simple and concise, pointing straight to the core. After all, when one’s strength is sufficient to crush everything, complex schemes appear superfluous.

The main point of this battle was to find a way to lure that Dou Ling level mercenary leader and that Dou Ling level Alchemist to the same place.

Afterward, one only needs to unleash the mysterious iron sword box given by Yun Yun, and it can instantly erupt with thunderous power, annihilating them all. Even if the wish is not fulfilled in the end and the enemy experts are not all gathered, it would be no major issue.

At that time, one only needs to trouble the loli master to possess him and personally hunt down the remnants, ensuring nothing goes wrong.

At worst, he could just let the loli master ”lick/sweeten” his neck a few more times afterward, treating it as labor and compensation for her.

”At that time, sisters, do not be soft-hearted. Womanly benevolence is not allowed. You must know that they are all life-and-death enemies of our Xiao Family, so you must cut the weeds and eliminate the roots to prevent future trouble.”

Nalan Yanran said in a cold tone, warning solemnly.

”This is a serious battle concerning the rise and fall of your Xiao Family. If you are slightly careless, you are very likely to fall into danger, or even die on the spot. You must not take it lightly.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan and Xiao Mei also changed their expressions. Their originally playful expressions were completely restrained, replaced by solemnity and gravity, and they did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent.

”We understand.”

”Since that is the case, there is no time to lose. Let’s move.”

Yun Xiancheng nodded to signal, said no more, and immediately took the lead, stepping forward to lead the Young ladies as they sped toward the predetermined location.

Goose-feather-like heavy snow danced across the sky, and the world was vast and white.

The biting cold wind, carrying snowflakes, cut through the night sky of Wutan City like countless icy blades, casting a frost-covered shroud over the coming bloody conflict.

This market of the Jiale Family was quite large in scale, arguably their most important property in Wutan City.

In the past, a considerable number of guards were stationed here to maintain the security and order of the market.

Now, ever since the cooperation agreement was reached with the Giant Shark Mercenary Group, the defensive strength of this market was even more formidable than before, truly as solid as a fortress.

The entrance to the market was brightly lit, bustling with noise, and exceptionally lively.

Several Dou Masters wearing the distinct emblem of the Giant Shark Mercenary Group on their chests, along with several others in the standard uniforms of the Jiale Family, stood there.

Dozens of Dou Practitioners and Dou Masters in various attire were chatting arrogantly, their words filled with undisguised insolence and wild arrogance.

”Brothers, once we completely wipe out those wretches of the Xiao Family, this Wutan City will be ours to command! When that time comes, wealth and glory will be within our grasp, and we will have all the Beauties and fine wine we desire!”

A sturdy Giant Shark mercenary with a booming voice and powerful aura shouted loudly to the crowd of mercenaries, full of grand ambition.

He was a One-Star Great Dou Master, the very person Yun Xiancheng had sensed earlier.

His tone was filled with bright expectations for the future and absolute confidence in the coming victory.

Yun Xiancheng and his group moved like ghosts, weaving through the curtain of snow, silently closing in on the Jiale Family’s market.

Using the falling snow as cover, they were like spirits merged with nature, their movements swift and silent, alerting no one.

”Let’s strike here.” Yun Xiancheng paused, raised his hand to signal the Young ladies behind him to stop, his gaze like a torch, locked onto the brightly lit market entrance in the distance.

His tone was calm, yet carried a chilling sense of determination.

No further words were needed; the Young ladies already understood.

Nalan Yanran raised her delicate hand like a proud phoenix, while Xiao Mei, in a peacock blue dress, and Xiao Yan, in black attire, nodded in tacit agreement.

Their figures instantly transformed into three swift phantoms, shooting towards the market entrance like arrows released from a bow.

”Enemy attack! There’s an enemy attack!”

The guards at the market entrance were no fools; almost at the same moment Xiao Mei and the others moved, they keenly sensed the suddenly tense, murderous atmosphere in the air.

The shrill alarm cut through the night sky, resounding throughout the entire market and shattering the original false prosperity and clamor.

However, their warning was ultimately a step too late.

Xiao Mei’s footwork was agile, dancing like a butterfly through flowers amidst the crowd; she had two sharp longswords in her hands, the blade light shining like silk, cold and piercing.

Every flash of her blade inevitably brought forth a spray of scarlet blood and a cry of painful agony.

Her figure was elusive, weaving freely through the enemy ranks, specifically targeting low-star Dou Practitioners to ensure the battle would not last long.

After her dual cultivation with Yun Xiancheng not long ago, she, who also possessed Wind-Attribute Dou Qi, had received the effects of some medicinal pills.

Her attacks now carried the essence of wind and clouds; although the cultivation technique she practiced was somewhat lacking—merely a wind-type technique from the Xiao Family’s collection—she had gained a slight boost from Yun Xiancheng.

In this battle, she was practically unstoppable.

Xiao Mei’s figure was as elusive as a ghost, shuttling under the curtain of snow.

Every appearance was like the arrival of the Grim Reaper, mercilessly reaping the lives of low-star Dou Practitioners, clean and efficient, without any hesitation.

Although she had never personally killed anyone in the true sense, she struck with courage at this moment.

Xiao Yan was not to be outdone; her black attire rustled in the night wind, her Dou Qi surging, her momentum like a rainbow.

She let out a delicate shout, brandishing the xuan heavy ruler, like a dragon emerging from the sea, unstoppable.

Every swing carried the immense force of splitting mountains and shattering stones.

Ordinary low-star Dou Practitioners, whether flesh and blood or fine iron weapons, were as fragile as rotten wood under her ruler, instantly disintegrating.

Xiao Yu followed closely behind her two younger sisters, especially Xiao Yan, as Xiao Yan’s use of the xuan heavy ruler left quite a few openings, all covered by this eldest sister guarding the flanks.

Nalan Yanran, as a Nine-Star Douzhe, naturally targeted the high-star Dou Practitioners.

The young lady tapped the ground with her jade feet, cyan Wind-Attribute Dou Qi swirling around her body; in the blink of an eye, it condensed into five incredibly solid cyan longswords, emitting a terrifying pressure that made one breathless.

The One-Star Great Dou Master, seeing this, turned pale with fright and wanted to intervene to stop her from releasing this astonishing Dou Technique.

Yet, he saw a white cloud appear before him.

Yun Xiancheng suddenly emerged from the mist like a divine dragon, holding a sharp longsword, the blade flashing, cold and intimidating.

His figure was like lightning, his sword momentum like a rainbow; the longsword in his hand easily sliced through the Great Dou Master’s throat, his movement so fast it was dazzling—there was simply no time to react.

”I am much stronger than before.” Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but say.

After taking the medicinal pill given by his master, aside from the increase in Realm, his Dou Qi also gained a trace of dragon and tiger strength, becoming faster and stronger.

He had been able to easily slay Great Dou Master mercenaries before, and now he could kill them with a single sword strike.

”I just wonder if I can contend with ordinary Dou Ling mercenaries?” He thought to himself, holding his sword horizontally, smiling coldly at the remaining Dou Masters: ”Want to pass? Ask my sword first.”

”Wind Spirit Fractal Sword.”

Just then, Nalan Yanran’s cold voice echoed in the night sky like a fairy from the nine heavens.

As her words fell, the five cyan longswords condensed from her Dou Qi, carrying irresistible power, descended from the sky and slashed fiercely into the group of Dou Practitioners not far away.

”Boom—!!”

The longswords cut several powerful high-star Dou Practitioners in half on the spot, blood splattered everywhere, and severed limbs flew, the scene extremely tragic.

The aftermath of the Dou Technique’s explosion swept out like a gale, causing a small-scale blast, making the already chaotic scene even more messy and devastated.

Heavy snow poured down, Dou Qi danced wildly, and amidst the clamor of the battlefield, only Xiao Xun’er’s figure flashed, disappearing from where she stood, and when she reappeared, she was silently standing before her guard, Yinger.

”Yinger, greets the Miss.” Seeing Xiao Xun’er suddenly descend, Yinger paused, then bowed respectfully, her posture humble.

”You saw everything just now, didn’t you?”

Xiao Xun’er parted her red lips, her tone calm and indifferent, yet carrying an unquestionable majesty, completely different from the quiet and shy girl she was in front of Yun Xiancheng.

Hearing this, Yinger lowered her head further, her slender neck almost buried in her collar, and could only respond in a low voice: ”Yes.”

”Yun Xiancheng is the person I, Xiao Xun’er, have tied my life to; you must keep this in mind.”

The young lady’s voice was cold, carrying a trace of indisputable authority; only now did she reveal the nobility and pride hidden within the direct bloodline of the Gu Clan.

”Yinger understands, but...” Yinger slightly raised her head, wanting to speak but hesitating, ultimately unable to hide the faint dissent in her tone.

”I already know what you are thinking.” Xiao Xun’er seemed to have insight into Yinger’s thoughts, shaking her head lightly, her tone helpless: ”You are always stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat easily.”

Xiao Xun’er sighed, patted Yinger’s shoulder, and said: ”I will allow you to find time to see him.”

”However, remember not to harm a hair on his head. If anything happens to him...”

At this point, Xiao Xun’er’s tone suddenly turned sharp, and although she did not state it clearly, the threat within was already obvious.

Hearing this, Yinger’s delicate body trembled slightly, cold sweat seeping from her forehead, as if the secret thoughts in her heart had been completely seen through by Xiao Xun’er, leaving her nowhere to hide.
