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

56: Section 56”Borrow? Isn’t that just outright robbery?” Linger, upon hearing Yun Xiancheng’s words, was momentarily startled and couldn’t help but blurt out.

However, before she could finish, Xiao Yi Xian, who was nearby, quickly covered her mouth, stopping her from continuing. Then, she explained, ”In the path of cultivation, can one call it stealing? We are merely borrowing; we will return it to them later.”

Xiao Yi Xian knew a lot about this; one look and it was clear she was a natural-born troublemaker. ”Is that so?” Linger felt it was inconceivable.

Yun Yun looked at Yun Xiancheng and asked with a strange tone, ”However, I learned from books… the Amethyst Winged Lion King race seems to be a unique species that reproduces parthenogenetically. You wouldn’t happen to…” Her gaze held an indescribable strangeness, as if probing some secret.

Although Medicine Lady was hiding in the storage ring and did not show herself, she seemed to be using that same indescribable, strange gaze to silently stare at Yun Xiancheng, her eyes filled with mockery and curiosity.

Yun Xiancheng certainly knew what this gaze represented. They were suspecting whether he would make a move on the Amethyst Winged Lion King and do something beastly.

No, what is going on with these two Masters of his? In their eyes, is he really that kind of person?

”Master… I have absolutely no interest in beasts! I am a decent person!” Yun Xiancheng waved his hands in a hurry, clarifying with a serious face, fearing they would misunderstand. ”Really?”

Yun Yun tilted her head, her eyes filled with suspicion; clearly, she did not fully believe his explanation.

This conversation, slightly ambiguous, instantly drew the attention of the three young women. Several intense gazes focused on him, making him feel inexplicably shy.

”Alright, alright. When Xiao Yan and I go in, you two just stay here obediently and don’t move around, okay?” Yun Xiancheng quickly changed the subject, looking at Linger and Xiao Yi Xian, speaking softly, fearing they would let their imaginations run wild. The two young women nodded obediently, indicating their agreement.

Yun Yun stopped teasing her good Disciple and instead spread her cyan wings, her figure rising lightly into the clouds.

Subsequently, she no longer concealed her aura. With her as the center, a cyan tornado gradually formed, whistling, swirling, and churning the surrounding air; the momentum was immense and awe-inspiring.

Immediately after, from within the Cave, a deafening roar erupted, as if it were about to tear the sky apart.

Accompanied by rising purple flames, a massive purple Lion King appeared. It spread its wings, blotting out the sky; it was majestic and awe-inspiring, its aura oppressive enough to strike fear into anyone who looked upon it.

”Now is the time, Yaner, let’s go.” Yun Xiancheng grabbed Xiao Yan’s hand directly and ran into the Cave.

111 But beast-girls are another matter entirely.

Inside the Master of the Amethyst Winged Lion’s lair, the walls shimmered with a faint purple light, imbuing the entire Cave with a mysterious atmosphere.

Xiao Yan’s laughter sounded relaxed and carefree, echoing through the Cave, as if she were not in a dangerous situation, but rather strolling in her own back garden.

Yun Xiancheng looked helpless, watching Xiao Yan laugh until she shook all over. Feeling the sticky saliva on his face, his heart was a mix of complicated emotions. Like petting a cat, he gently rubbed the fuzzy little head of the Amethyst Winged Little Lion.

The Little Lion seemed to enjoy his touch, its tail wagging frantically, and from time to time, it happily stuck out its tongue, looking very affectionate.

Yun Xiancheng had never raised a cat, nor did he know if the lions of the Fighting Qi Continent had any relation to cats, but this Little Lion felt like a very clingy, good cat. The kind that doesn’t hiss.

”Senior Brother, it looks like she really likes you.” Xiao Yan watched this scene and couldn’t help but say with a smile, her eyes filled with mockery and teasing.

”This is a headache… If it were hostile towards me, I could steal things with a clear conscience. But this Little Lion is so clingy to me that I feel a bit embarrassed, as if I’m bullying a child.” Yun Xiancheng said helplessly, his tone carrying a hint of distress.

”Since Senior Brother still has a bottom line, then it naturally doesn’t matter. These treasures of heaven and earth are not necessities for Yaner; it doesn’t matter if I have them or not.” Xiao Yan shrugged and said nonchalantly. Anyway, she didn’t value these worldly possessions; as long as she could be with Senior Brother, it was enough.

Medicine Lady also floated out from the storage ring. Watching Xiao Yan’s carefree appearance, she said, half in frustration and half in exasperation, ”Geez, you two… the treasures are right in front of you, yet you can sit there and remain unmoved; it’s really infuriating! Are you not even a little bit tempted?”

Yun Xiancheng, carrying the Little Lion, walked to the amethyst platform in the center of the Cave. On the platform was a huge purple ball of light, containing extremely powerful energy that made one feel awe-struck.

”This accompanying purple crystal source is indeed a good thing; it can accelerate our cultivation and enhance our strength. But the Little Lion needs this thing just as much; for her, it is even more important. When she reaches the fourth tier, if she swallows it in one gulp, she can directly become a Fifth-tier Magical Beast.” Yun Xiancheng looked at the accompanying purple crystal source and said with some hesitation. He knew this item was very important for them, but for the Little Lion, it was even more precious.

”You wouldn’t have really taken her as your pet, would you? Amethyst Winged Lions are proud creatures; how could they easily submit to humans? Besides, they reproduce parthenogenetically; they don’t have those organs! Their reproduction is a continuation of energy, do you understand?”

Medicine Lady rolled her eyes and continued to explain with annoyance, seemingly speechless at Yun Xiancheng’s thoughts. ”Even if you raised a Little Lion, you wouldn’t be able to use it! You’d just be left staring blankly, unable to do anything!”

”I have no interest in beasts!” Yun Xiancheng emphasized again. He felt somewhat helpless about Medicine Lady’s increasingly frequent lewdness. It seemed it was time to find a moment to properly ”educate” her, let her know the power of her husband, and make her more bashful.

”Oh right!” Yun Xiancheng suddenly remembered something, a glimmer flashing in his eyes. He took out a pill that emitted a faint light from his storage ring; it was the Transformation Pill!

The Transformation Pill that was given as a system reward back then—who would have thought it could be used at this moment? It really is destiny! Who would have thought that more than half a year ago, the system had already anticipated this situation! It truly planned ahead!

”This is… a Transformation Pill? Where did you get this?” Medicine Lady was indeed a Master of alchemy; she identified the origin of the pill at a glance. Her eyes were filled with shock and suspicion as she couldn’t help but ask.

”Obtained from the Cloud Mist Sect.” Yun Xiancheng spouted nonsense; in any case, Medicine Lady didn’t know about his past.

”Hey, impressive. The technique used for this Transformation Pill is refined, the pill veins are clear, and the medicinal potency is thick. It’s almost as good as something I would refine personally! I didn’t expect you brat to have such a good thing!” Medicine Lady looked at Yun Xiancheng with a face full of suspicion, her tone filled with disbelief.

”I don’t believe that fellow in your Cloud Mist Sect has the level to refine such a perfect Transformation Pill.”

”That impressive? Perhaps it was a pill of yours that our Cloud Mist Sect was lucky enough to purchase a few years ago. After all, your alchemy skills are unparalleled in the world, and no one can match them!” Yun Xiancheng buttered up Medicine Lady with sweet words, while inwardly admiring her confidence. He truly believed that Medicine Lady’s techniques could rival the system’s products.

Of course, he also truly believed that he was the most respectful Disciple in the Fighting Qi Continent. Without further hesitation, Yun Xiancheng fed the Transformation Pill to the Little Lion as if it were a candy bean.

The Little Lion seemed to trust Yun Xiancheng implicitly and had no defenses. With a roll of its little tongue, it swept the Transformation Pill into its belly and swallowed it. The Transformation Pill melted upon contact with the mouth, turning into a warm current that instantly surged throughout the Little Lion’s entire body.

Immediately after, the Little Lion’s body began to undergo drastic changes. Its originally fuzzy body gradually became smooth and delicate. Its limbs also began to thin out slowly, its original lion head began to shrink, and its facial features became more refined. Its body began to curl up, and it let out a painful moan, as if it were enduring great agony.

[part:deepseek-chat]

Seeing this, Yun Xiancheng quickly scooped her into his arms, gently stroking her body and soothing her with a soft voice. At that moment, a dazzling purple light suddenly erupted from within her, illuminating the entire Cave.

As the light faded, a petite and adorable figure appeared in Yun Xiancheng’s embrace. It was a little girl who looked to be only about 1.4 meters tall.

She had short purple hair and a pair of large, watery eyes that sparkled with vivacious light, her long eyelashes fluttering.

Her small nose, pink pouty lips, and a pair of fluffy purple beast ears made her look even more playful. At this moment, her skin, bathed in the glow of the amethyst, appeared exceptionally alluring.

Having just transformed, the Little Lion seemed not to fully understand what had happened. She instinctively opened her mouth. ”Ah-ah... g-gege...”

She called out unclearly, her voice tender and sweet, practically melting Yun Xiancheng’s heart. Just then, a black outer garment suddenly descended from above, draping over the Amethyst Winged Loli.

Xiao Yan, flustered, wrapped the garment around her, then shot Yun Xiancheng an annoyed glare, chiding coquettishly, ”Senior brother, didn’t you say you weren’t interested in beasts?”

Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but laugh, a sincere smile spreading across his face. ”But a beast-girl is a different matter.”

This guy... he really went for the lion after all, didn’t he?

”Little Lion, Little Lion, can you understand what we’re saying?”

Xiao Yan leaned down, her limpid eyes gazing at the small purple-haired, beast-eared figure curled up in Yun Xiancheng’s arms, and asked softly.

The Little Lion was slightly taken aback, then gently nodded. The pair of fluffy beast ears on her head swayed gently with her nodding motion, cuteness reaching its peak.

Her timid voice was soft and pleasant, carrying a hint of newborn-like purity.

Hearing this adorable voice, Xiao Yan felt a ripple in her heart, as if she herself was about to melt from the sheer charm. ”Mm, Little Lion! Good girl~” Then, she turned her head, her gaze shifting to Medicine Lady floating nearby, and teased mischievously, ”Master, I think she’s much cuter than you.” Medicine Lady instantly puffed up her little face in anger, almost jumping off her Ice Lotus!

”Nonsense! I’m your elder, full of dignity! How could I possibly be... be like her, acting all cute!?”

”But Master’s figure is pretty much the same as hers,” Xiao Yan muttered under her breath, precisely hitting Medicine Lady’s sore spot.

Just as this ”heartwarming interaction” between Master and Disciple was happening, ”What name should the Little Lion be called?”

Yun Xiancheng stroked the smooth purple hair of the little one in his arms and asked gently. ”Name?”

The Little Lion tilted her fluffy little head, her amethyst-like eyes looking at Yun Xiancheng, seeming somewhat confused and puzzled.

”Like... I’m called Yun Xiancheng, she’s called Xiao Yan. The first character is the surname, representing where one’s lineage comes from; the following character is the given name, our own unique identifier.”

Yun Xiancheng patiently explained in the simplest terms.

Listening to this explanation, the Little Lion’s large, dark eyes rolled thoughtfully, as if she was seriously considering it.

”Gege is called Yun Xiancheng? Jiejie is called Xiao Yan?” ”That’s right.”

A moment later, she lifted her head, her small hand gently resting on Yun Xiancheng’s chest. In a soft, sticky voice tinged with a hint of dependence, she spoke, ”Then... I’ll be called Yun Yan.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was instantly overjoyed, feeling immensely pleased. ”So adorable, it’s like she’s the daughter of me and senior brother.” Medicine Lady, who had been watching the show, also nodded slightly at this moment. She drifted down lightly to perch on Yun Xiancheng’s head, saying with a hint of satisfaction:

”Consider yourself lucky, kid. To think you’d just pick up such a cute descendant of the Amethyst Winged Lion clan for free. Your Master here thinks she’s quite skilled at teaching Disciples. How about—”

”Stop right there,” Yun Xiancheng interrupted without hesitation. ”Her mother is still outside. Matters of education should be left to her birth mother.”

As soon as the words fell, Medicine Lady seemed to suddenly notice something. Her little face filled with shock as she stared intently at Yun Xiancheng. ”Good Disciple, you... you wouldn’t be thinking of... w-women...”

Yun Xiancheng’s expression remained unchanged, neither confirming nor denying. He simply lowered his head to sense Yun Yan’s current Realm.

She was originally at the peak of a Third-tier Magical Beast, just a step away from the Fourth-tier. Now, having taken the Transformation Pill and successfully assumed human form, her Realm had directly skyrocketed to the peak of the Great Dou Master level.

Magical beasts transforming not only grant them human cultivation talent but also retain the special physique inherent to magical beasts themselves. Their starting point indeed far surpasses that of ordinary humans.

The only drawback is that after reaching the upper limit of their racial bloodline, advancing further becomes exceptionally difficult; their potential is not limitless. ”Master... why do you always suspect I’m interested in beasts?”

Yun Xiancheng still did not directly answer Medicine Lady’s heavily suggestive question. ”Hmph! You’re interested in the ones who have transformed!”

Medicine Lady wouldn’t be easily fooled by Yun Xiancheng. Her little bottom wriggled indignantly against his neck. ”Alright, alright. My family’s Master Yun is still fighting that Big Lion to the death out there. Let’s not waste time here.”

Yun Xiancheng changed the subject. Holding the tiny Yun Yan, he beckoned to Xiao Yan beside him. ”Let’s go, Yaner. We’ll go stop this unnecessary fight first.”

With that, Yun Xiancheng, holding the Little Lion, with Xiao Yan following closely behind, the two stepped out of the Cave glowing with hazy purple light. As soon as they exited, the residual waves of intense energy collisions hit them, carrying heat and fierce winds.

On the open ground not far away, Yun Yun’s cyan clothes fluttered slightly, with a few minor tears at the hem. Her aura was somewhat disordered, clearly having experienced a fierce battle. Opposite her, the massive Amethyst Winged Lion King also bore several shallow sword marks on her body.

Her majestic purple fur was slightly singed. A pair of beast eyes burning with fury and fighting spirit were locked firmly on Yun Yun. Violent energy gathered around her once more, clearly preparing to launch an even fiercer attack.

Yun Yun also took a deep breath again, readying herself to unleash the Wind Spirit Fractal Sword. ”Hold it!”

Yun Xiancheng’s clear voice, infused with Dou Qi, rang out, clearly reaching the ears of the two powerful figures locked in combat.

The sudden voice caused both Yun Yun and the Master of the Amethyst Winged Lion to pause their poised movements. Their sharp gazes simultaneously turned towards the source of the sound.

Seeing that it was Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan emerging unharmed, a flicker of surprise passed through Yun Yun’s eyes, and her tense aura relaxed slightly.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King’s gaze swept over Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan with vigilance, finally settling on the small, purple-haired, beast-eared, exquisitely delicate figure nestled in Yun Xiancheng’s arms.

That intimately familiar bloodline aura, yet in a completely different, petite human form.

The powerful Lion Lord’s massive body shuddered violently. Her majestic beast eyes instantly filled with disbelief, shock, and bewilderment. H-her daughter?! How did she become like this?!

She herself was already a Sixth-tier Magical Beast but still hadn’t completed her transformation. How could her daughter have transformed ahead of time!?

What stunned this mother even more was that her daughter, the descendant who should have inherited the pride and independence of the Amethyst Winged Lion clan,

was now, at this moment, like a docile kitten, obediently nestled in the arms of an unfamiliar human male. Her small hands tightly clutched his lapel, her little face nuzzling against his chest, displaying an expression of utmost dependence and intimacy!

This... this completely overturned her understanding! How could her daughter be like this!?

The violent energy brewing around the Lion King dissipated significantly under this dual impact. Her huge beast eyes fixed intently on her daughter in Yun Xiancheng’s arms... and on him, who was holding her daughter.

Her gaze was filled with earth-shattering confusion, incomprehensible shock, and a trace of barely perceptible scrutiny.

Seeing this scene, Yun Yun actually couldn’t help but laugh out loud. ”I knew it...”

She smiled slightly and also gave up gathering her Dou Qi.

The chaotic phenomena in the surrounding heaven and earth, caused by their battle, gradually began to disperse.

”Amethyst Winged Lion King, now that our juniors are so close, how about we turn hostility into friendship?”

The Amethyst Winged Lion King looked at Yun Yun’s expression, then glanced at her daughter’s appearance. Finally, her gaze fixed on the man holding her daughter.
