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

37: Section 37To reassure Medicine Lady further, Yun Xiancheng slowly extended his hand, carefully grasping her icy fingers, attempting to use the warmth of his palm to dispel the chill at her fingertips.

His gaze was gentle and focused, as if trying to convey the sincerity of his emotions through his eyes. ’What this Disciple says... is true, word for word.’

Medicine Lady looked into his eyes—they held a brilliance like the starry sky, beautiful. ’You probably think this way about every pretty girl...’

Medicine Lady’s tone was leisurely, but the tail end carried a hint of barely perceptible bitterness, sounding especially clear in the empty Cave.

Yun Xiancheng sensed the faint trace of bitterness in Medicine Lady’s words. He knew that mere words alone might not completely dispel the doubts in her heart.

Thinking of this, the youth’s eyes sharpened. Gritting his teeth slightly, he suddenly extended both arms and tightly embraced Medicine Lady, who was seated on the Lotus Platform! ’Yes, Master is absolutely right.’

To Medicine Lady’s surprise, Yun Xiancheng did not outright deny it, nor did he craft clever excuses. Instead, he admitted frankly, his straightforward tone actually causing her to be taken aback.

He had always disdained concealing his own feelings, and even less was he willing to put on a hypocritical front before her. Establishing a harem, gathering beauties to his side, was his heartfelt desire from the start, and there was no need to hide it.

Yun Xiancheng’s tone shifted, becoming increasingly earnest. His low voice carried a trace of undeniable gravity.

’But Master must understand, for this Disciple, any woman who enters my home is someone I wish to cherish, someone I should protect.’ ’To be precise, every ’sister’ within my ’home’ is someone this Disciple treats with heartfelt sincerity, someone I am willing to love with genuine affection.’

He slightly tightened his arms, drawing Medicine Lady’s petite frame even closer against his chest, as if wanting to meld her into his very flesh and blood.

’Since they have already entered my home, I, Yun Xiancheng, will naturally shoulder the responsibility for their lives from now on, sharing both honor and disgrace, life and death—and among them, naturally, that includes you, Master.’

Yun Xiancheng said seriously.

’Fine. Fine, you... unfilial lecher!’

Hearing these words, Medicine Lady’s delicate body stiffened abruptly. Her originally dim eyes instantly widened, filling with astonishment and shock.

She never expected Yun Xiancheng to utter such shocking, audacious words to this extent! ’You... you dare to... you actually dare to set your sights on your own Master!?’

As soon as the words left her mouth, Medicine Lady’s pretty face was already flushed crimson, burning hot. In the next instant, the youth lowered his head and directly kissed Medicine Lady’s slightly parted red lips!

The sudden intimacy caused Medicine Lady’s delicate body to tremble violently. Her toes, out of shock and shyness, involuntarily curled slightly, her icy toes...

...also unconsciously gripping the edge of the Lotus Platform tightly.

She never expected Yun Xiancheng would use such a... such a bold and unrestrained method to ’comfort’ her!

The youth’s kissing technique carried an irresistible fervor and dominance, instantly prying open Medicine Lady’s slightly stiff pearly teeth.

His nimble tongue took advantage of the opening, entwining deeply and tightly with her slightly stiff, yet still fragrant and soft little tongue, dancing together in harmony, creating a shared melody.

Medicine Lady’s delicate body grew increasingly limp. Her originally tense frame gradually relaxed under the youth’s fervent and domineering kiss. After a long while, the two slowly separated, only a glistening bridge of saliva connecting them.

Yun Xiancheng looked at Medicine Lady, her eyes dazed with a faint trace of confusion. At the same time, her small hand was tightly clutching the corner of his clothes, as if she hadn’t expected her good Disciple...

...to not only intend to marry Xiao Yan, but to also include her, his Master, on the harem list. ’Master...’

Yun Xiancheng spoke softly again, his voice slightly hoarse, adding a touch of mesmerizing magnetism. ’This... is the promise this Disciple wants to make to you.’ ’Let us... become that pair of mandarin ducks flying side by side, sharing life and death, walking hand in hand to the ends of the Fighting Qi Continent, witnessing all the splendor of the world...’

’...and taking in all the beautiful scenery under heaven. How about it?’

Hearing this, ripples stirred in Medicine Lady’s heart. She actually believed Yun Xiancheng’s discourse about the harem. The youth’s extraordinary confidence and sense of responsibility were imprinted in her memory.

He had always been like this.

It seemed he had never concealed his desire and ambition to establish a harem and possess a multitude of beauties.

He remained deeply convinced of this, even carrying a kind of near-arrogant confidence, as if firmly believing he possessed sufficient capability and resolve to shoulder the fates and lives of so many women...

’You, this kid... still so young, how can you be so full of grand aspirations?’

And at this moment, surprisingly, no disgust or revulsion arose in Medicine Lady’s heart. Instead, the previous sadness and despair gradually faded.

Replacing them was a long-lost feeling of being moved and anticipation, a vivid sensation of her heart starting to beat powerfully again. Immediately after, a peculiar confidence and heroic spirit also quietly sprouted within her chest.

She raised her head, her gaze burning as she stared at this audacious yet utterly charming good Disciple before her—he was her own Disciple, so why couldn’t he?

At worst, she would help him reach the supreme position of Dou Emperor, letting him rule over all, his might shaking the universe!

As an Emperor, why couldn’t he take on the responsibility of shouldering others’ lives and become the Master of a harem’s three palaces and six courts?

Medicine Lady extended her jade-like arms, tightly embracing Yun Xiancheng’s robust waist, and nodded. ’Since that’s the case, then this Master... will give you this chance.’

[Medicine Lady’s status bar has been updated.]

[Medicine Lady]

Realm: Unknown

Favorability: 60/100 (Medicine Lady was betrayed by her first Disciple, your senior sister, Han Fenger, making her extremely sensitive to such matters. Unexpectedly, you directly leaped beyond the Master-Disciple boundary to confess your feelings, which is surprising. What’s even more unexpected is that Medicine Lady actually walked out of her despair because of such comfort.)

Intimacy: 40/100 (What she might want to ask in her heart at this moment is... are you truly willing to accompany her to the ends of the Fighting Qi Continent?)

071 — Lick

Yun Xiancheng had always been an attentive, good husband adept at discerning the moods of the women in his home.

Having just gently comforted Medicine Lady with soft words, and having only had time to enjoy a storm-like kiss, his heart was already preoccupied with another Master—Yun Yun.

After just a brief moment of tenderness with Medicine Lady, Yun Xiancheng had already begun preparing, planning to go and console his other Master, Yun Yun, who was burdened with unresolved troubles. To ensure both of his Masters were sincerely convinced and ultimately became part of his ’family,’ he could be said to have exhausted his mind and energy, going to great lengths.

Although Yun Yun wasn’t as emotionally expressive or nearly broken as Medicine Lady, deep within the lake of her heart, there also lay a thorn of unresolved resentment. Whenever Yun Yun’s gaze shifted, inadvertently sweeping over the sisters of the Xiao Family, Yun Xiancheng could keenly sense that this beautiful and gentle good Master of his...

...was again secretly pondering those troublesome, unnecessary thoughts.

She always inevitably assumed the role of an elder, harboring all sorts of worries, being overcautious, and adding to her own troubles.

She even faintly felt that her destined fate was to watch helplessly as Yun Xiancheng married others, while she herself would remain alone, solitary and desolate, spending the rest of her life in loneliness.

What utter nonsense! He, Yun Xiancheng, was determined to bring Yun Yun into his harem. How could he allow her to become disheartened, saddened, and lost in sorrow alone?

Tsk, Yun Yun might have her reservations, being overcautious and adding to her own troubles, but he, Yun Xiancheng, had always been a willful and unrestrained person. Why would he care about such trivial, mundane restraints?

What in this world could be more captivating, more soul-stirring and dream-inspiring, than joyfully uniting in marriage with the esteemed Master who raised you from childhood and spending a lifetime together?

Night quietly descended, stars scattered, dotting the deep night sky.

After that heavy snowfall of goose feathers, the sky over Wutan City was now clear as if washed, dotted with stars. The air was also exceptionally fresh and pleasant, refreshing to the heart.

Only the occasionally gusting, piercingly cold wind silently reminded everyone that this season was still the harsh winter, where water freezes and the cold cuts to the bone. The miniature Medicine Lady’s petite body sat securely and comfortably within the front fold of Yun Xiancheng’s robe.

Only her small, exquisite head was visible, gently enveloped by the waves of warmth emanating from Yun Xiancheng’s body, feeling cozy and utterly content. ’Ah, so warm.’

Medicine Lady’s expression was noticeably much more relaxed now. Her tightly knitted brows gradually smoothed out, and the look of worry between them had mostly dissipated, replaced by a sense of ease and laziness.

However, when she inadvertently noticed the direction Yun Xiancheng was currently heading, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat puzzled, curiosity suddenly arising in her heart.

’This direction... doesn’t seem to be the road leading to the Mittel Auction House, does it?’ Medicine Lady tilted her head slightly, her tone faintly questioning, her clear voice carrying a trace of barely detectable inquiry.

[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]

”Well, I am just about to go find Master Yun Yun.” Yun Xiancheng admitted candidly, without the slightest intention of concealment.

”Hmm? Everything is fine, so why are you suddenly going to find her?” Medicine Lady was increasingly puzzled, her pair of lively, beautiful eyes filled with questions and curiosity.

”Master Yun Yun also has hidden worries in her heart; she always feels that my wings are gradually growing stronger, and that I will eventually spread them to soar high, fly away, leave her, and let her keep an empty chamber alone.” Yun Xiancheng explained truthfully, his tone carrying a trace of helplessness, a trace of doting, and even more, a sense of heartache and cherish for Yun Yun.

”How could I, Yun Xiancheng, ever do such a heartless and ungrateful thing as abandoning someone after having my way with them? My Masters are all people who have shown me kindness; they are also the people I, Yun Xiancheng, respect and admire the most. It is destined that I will marry them into my household, have them stay with me day and night, remain together forever, and grow old together!”

As soon as his words fell, Medicine Lady showed a hint of shyness.

She tucked her small head, like a frightened little rabbit, instantly into Yun Xiancheng’s lapel, leaving only a wisp of soft hair dangling playfully outside.

”You, you... you Disciple, what are you... what kind of nonsense are you spouting again... really... aren’t you ashamed... it’s not just your Master, is it?” Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but laugh, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly, revealing a doting smile.

He carefully took the miniature Medicine Lady out from his lapel, held her gently in his palm, bowed slightly, and pressed a light kiss, as gentle as a dragonfly skimming the water, onto her pink, tender cheek.

Medicine Lady was instantly like an electric shock, her delicate body trembling violently, her small face turning bright red in an instant, like a ripe apple, dripping with charm and extremely seductive:

”You lecher, you big pervert, your Master must have been blind to have taken you as a Disciple back then, really... really infuriating! You apprenticed to learn skills, so it turns out it was for... for this kind of... this kind of dirty thoughts, really... how shameless!”

”Master, please do not think of your Disciple so poorly, so dirty, and so unbearable.” Yun Xiancheng’s expression was solemn, serious, and he argued righteously, his tone so sincere and his expression so innocent that it could almost pass for real:

”It is clearly because you, Master, are truly too innocent and lively, too... fascinating and addictive...”

”It’s all Master’s fault for making your Disciple unable to control his feelings for a moment; it is only human nature and understandable. I hope you, Master, will not hold a grudge against this petty person, and will be more forgiving and understanding.”

”Hmph, glib-tongued, flattering, twisting right and wrong, and arguing irrationally! You wicked little Disciple, really... you are a rotten piece of wood that cannot be carved, a child who cannot be taught!” Medicine Lady blushed and scolded with a coquettish, thin anger. Although her tone was stern, it was clearly fierce in appearance but weak in reality, having no power at all, but instead adding a bit of charm.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something interesting, she changed the subject and asked with a playful tone: ”By the way, later, are you not going to... make your Master Yun Yun also... a complete mess, head over heels?”

”This... well... I suppose so.”

Having his thoughts so bluntly pointed out by Medicine Lady, Yun Xiancheng felt a bit embarrassed, speaking with a slightly shy manner; his usual thick skin seemed to have become a bit thinner.

Upon hearing this, Medicine Lady immediately became interested. Her originally slightly shy and angry little face instantly bloomed with a look of great interest, her pair of lively, beautiful eyes curving into two crescents as she smiled.

”Since that is the case, why doesn’t Master let the Disciple demonstrate properly how the Disciple plays with Master Yun Yun?” Medicine Lady’s tone carried a bit of mischievous playfulness, obviously watching the fun without thinking it too big.

”Hmm.” Yun Xiancheng heard this, pretended to ponder, and after a moment, his expression became solemn, and he said seriously:

”Then the Disciple must put in great effort so as not to disappoint Master’s interest in watching the show. It’s just...” Yun Xiancheng’s eyes shifted, his tone suddenly turning light and frivolous, ”Since it is a performance, it would not be good to waste the effort. Master, how do you think this reward should be settled?”

Implicitly and explicitly, he was asking Medicine Lady to give him a reward. As for what kind of reward, looking at his frivolous gaze, Medicine Lady knew a thing or two.

Medicine Lady’s shyness and anger grew even more, her snow-white cheeks instantly dyed with a charming color, like a ripe peach on a branch, making one drool.

”Fine, fine, fine, I’ll do as you say, I’ll do whatever you want!” Amidst the coquettish scolding, a fragrant breeze struck. Her exquisite body flew out like an arrow released from a bowstring, instantly escaping the youth’s palm and returning to its original size in mid-air.

In the blink of an eye, the Beauty lightly stretched her legs, and with lightning speed, firmly clamped onto Yun Xiancheng’s head, pressing it fiercely towards herself. ”You hopeless, rebellious Disciple, really... you are infuriating me!”

Medicine Lady’s face was flushed with red clouds, coquettishly and thinly angry, yet she could not hide the smile in her eyes; she was clearly annoyed and embarrassed, yet she was enjoying it.

Medicine Lady gave a coquettish huff, her tone carrying a bit of shyness and helplessness. The ice-silk underpants she was wearing were pressed tightly against Yun Xiancheng’s lips, bringing waves of delicate tactile sensations.

Her skin was as soft and smooth as congealed fat, and an involuntary blush of mixed tension and shyness appeared on her face, making her even more charming and moving. Yun Xiancheng gazed intently at the ice-silk underpants of Medicine Lady, who was right in front of him, the tip of his nose surrounded by the unique honeysuckle fragrance of the young girl.

He couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, then with a mischievous smile, he gently pressed his lips against the cool and smooth fabric, and the tip of his nimble tongue began to move restlessly, probing and teasing.

”Hmm. It seems you are quite skilled, you little wicked Disciple...” Medicine Lady whispered coquettishly, as melodious as an oriole, every wisp revealing an uncontrollable infatuation.

The young girl’s voice drifted in the air, as if present and absent, plucking at the heartstrings. In the air, that faint honeysuckle fragrance became increasingly rich and fragrant.

It was obvious that Medicine Lady had already gradually sunk and lost herself under Yun Xiancheng’s heart-stirring offensive, her originally tense, delicate body becoming soft and powerless.

”Master... your Disciple is clearly thinking of you seriously, how can you wrong your Disciple like this? It really makes your Disciple very sad.” Yun Xiancheng said while acting even more wantonly, having already pried open a gap in the ice-silk underpants, thoroughly enjoying the butterfly resting on the honeysuckle, lingering and forgetting to return.

Medicine Lady had completely surrendered at this moment, unable to say any words of refutation, and could only weakly tilt her head back, emitting a few indistinct moans from her mouth, as if she had already reached some kind of limit.

Seeing this, Yun Xiancheng quickly took her, who was somewhat exhausted, into his arms, gently stroking her back, patiently waiting for her spirit to gradually recover.

After a while, the young girl slowly opened her beautiful eyes, her face still pink, as seductive as a ripe apple. ”It... it was... barely passable.”

She shyly buried her head in Yun Xiancheng’s broad chest, her voice as thin as a mosquito, her shyness overflowing: ”The reward has already been given to you, now take me to see how you tease your Master Yun Yun.”

”This... how can this count as a reward?” Yun Xiancheng heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, his tone leisurely as he said, as if he was not very satisfied with the ”reward” given by Medicine Lady.

At this moment, Medicine Lady noticed that something was pressing against her waist. She followed that blush-inducing tactile sensation and looked down slowly. When she truly saw that Buzhou Mountain, which seemed to connect heaven and earth, with majestic momentum, and magnificent grandeur.

Her originally charming little face instantly turned incomparably red, like burning sunset clouds, almost dripping blood. ”You, you... you innocent Disciple... you... you actually dare to...”

Medicine Lady widened her eyes in terror, filled with shock, shyness, and a trace of unbelievable confusion.

She stammered, seeming unable to even speak a complete sentence, obviously completely shocked by the shocking scene before her eyes.

”Master, I want you to, use your mouth...” Yun Xiancheng did not finish.
