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

57: Section 57113 You rebellious Disciple, do you not even intend to let the older one go?

A tiny figure was wrapped in Xiao Yan’s black outer garment, which was slightly too large for her. The purple-haired, beast-eared Little Lion stood on her tiptoes, reaching out with her small hands to gently stroke the Amethyst Winged Lion King’s soft yet resilient purple fur.

”Mama... they are... friends.. good people.” Her voice was soft and sweet, carrying a childlike certainty as she tried to defend her newly made friends.

The massive Lion King lowered her head, looking at how her daughter was siding with outsiders. A hint of complexity flickered in her majestic beastly pupils, containing both helplessness and a touch of warmth from being moved by her daughter’s innocence.

On the other side, Yun Yun stood with her arms crossed, watching Yun Xiancheng with leisure. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a half-smiling look, as if saying: ”See, I knew it.”

Feeling uncomfortable under Yun Yun’s insightful and playful gaze, Yun Xiancheng hurriedly cleared his throat in an attempt to salvage his image. He explained quickly, ”Master, I reiterate... I am normal!”

Yun Yun lightly covered her red lips with her jade-like hand and burst out laughing.

”Alright, alright, no need to explain so much. Master understands everything, everything.” Her tone clearly implied she ”understood” something else entirely.

After the brief standoff and explanation, the atmosphere eased slightly. Both sides restrained their auras and entered the actual negotiation phase.

Yun Yun and Yun Xiancheng came before the Amethyst Winged Lion King and chose a flat area of ground to sit cross-legged. Just as Yun Xiancheng sat down and before he could even steady himself, his arms felt a sudden warmth.

Yun Yan, like a young swallow returning to its nest, slipped right in. She familiarly found a comfortable spot to curl up, her small head even rubbing against his chest.

”Lion Lord,” Yun Yun spoke first, breaking the silence. ”We have come this time to trade goods for the treasure of your clan—the purple spirit crystal.” The Master of the Amethyst Winged Lion’s low voice rang out, carrying a hint of deliberation:

”This item is the condensed essence of my clan; it takes twenty years to nurture just one. It is exceptionally precious. To exchange for it...”

Her gaze fell upon her daughter’s petite human form, a flicker of longing passing through her beastly pupils. Finally, she spoke slowly, her tone carrying a hint of testing: ”...Do you have any spare... Transformation Pills in your hands?”

Yun Yun naturally did not have any. She calmly shifted her gaze toward Yun Xiancheng.

Yun Yun understood in her heart. This Disciple of hers had traveled abroad and possessed many means; he could even obtain an Earth-Rank Technique, so he might truly have some in stock.

”Naturally.” Yun Xiancheng smiled slightly and took out another medicinal pill flowing with a strange luster from his storage ring. It was indeed a Transformation Pill. ”Would the Lion King like to inspect it?” he asked politely.

The Amethyst Winged Lion stared fixedly at the pill. Although she couldn’t see anything definitive, she turned to look at her daughter. Little Yun Yan immediately understood, nodding vigorously before looking up.

Her amethyst-like eyes were wide as she looked at her mother with deep admiration, pleading softly, ”Mama, eat this. Become... become beautiful.. play with Yun Yan.”

That voice was pitiable and naturally charming, enough to melt anyone’s heart.

Even Yun Yun, standing to the side, couldn’t help but narrow her eyes, watching the cute little thing with a joyful smile, finding it extremely amusing. Seeing this, the last shred of doubt in the Amethyst Winged Lion King’s heart vanished.

Her precious daughter had already successfully transformed, personally verifying the pill’s miraculous effects. These humans wouldn’t go so far as to use a fake to trick her again. ”Deal!” she responded in a deep voice. ”You are taking the purple spirit crystals this time... to nurture the younger generation, right?”

”Yes,” Yun Yun nodded. ”This one, and another who didn’t come today. We need three in total...” Yun Xiancheng added at the right time, ”I don’t need one. Just give them to my two Junior Sisters.”

He was already a Great Dou Master, so the purple spirit crystal had limited effect on him. It was far less practical than deep and thorough dual cultivation with the girls. ”Then it’s two...” The Amethyst Winged Lion King said deeply, ”Fine, then we shall exchange this Transformation Pill for two purple spirit crystals!” The deal was struck, crisp and straightforward.

Yun Xiancheng lightly tossed the Transformation Pill in his hand. The pill traced a streak of light, accurately falling into the gaping maw of the Master of the Amethyst Winged Lion.

The Lion King did not hesitate in the slightest and swallowed it into her belly.

Almost the instant the pill entered her stomach, a surge of majestic yet gentle energy erupted from within the Lion King! A dazzling purple light soared into the sky, completely enveloping her massive body.

The light was brilliant but not piercing; instead, it carried a strange rhythm of life. The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and only the hum of the flowing energy could be heard.

Within the purple light, the originally majestic and powerful lion silhouette began to shrink, change, and elongate rapidly... Her bones made faint popping sounds, as if undergoing a complete transformation.

A moment later, the dazzling purple light slowly receded like a tide. What was revealed in its place was no longer that awe-inspiring King of Magical Beasts, but a tall, graceful, and peerlessly beautiful woman.

She had a waterfall of long purple hair that draped softly over her body, covering most of it. Faint amethyst glints seemed to flow between the strands. Her skin was whiter than snow, appearing even more translucent and delicate against the backdrop of her purple hair.

Her facial features were exquisite beyond compare. Between her brows and eyes was a natural laziness and charm, yet she did not lack the majesty of a ruler.

Most notably, her eyes remained that deep purple, though they now lacked the ferocity of a beast, gaining a few hints of a mature woman’s soft charm and depth.

Her figure was curvaceous and full, every inch exuding a breathtaking mature charm. She was like a perfectly ripe peach, carrying a heart-palpitating ”lazy maternal” vibe, with a fatal temptation hidden within her lethargy.

She was barefoot, her ankles slender. Having just taken human form, she seemed a bit unaccustomed to standing on two legs; her figure swayed slightly before she managed to steady herself.

She raised her hands with a slight daze, looking at her slender, fair fingers.

She then looked down at her curvaceous and flawless body. Her beautiful purple eyes were filled with wonder and a hint of indescribable complexity. Yun Yun and Xiao Yan were also staring wide-eyed, not expecting that after the Lion King transformed, she would be such a magnificent Beauty.

”Mama!” Little Yun Yan broke free from Yun Xiancheng’s embrace and cheered. She ran over on her short legs and hugged the purple-haired Beauty’s waist, looking up with eyes full of joy.

”Mama... so beautiful!”

Yun Xiancheng, meanwhile, draped a layer of clothing over the Lion King.

”You certainly know how to care for people. Is this how you tricked my daughter?”

She turned her head, looking at Yun Xiancheng. Her voice carried a blend of laziness and maturity. ”It wasn’t.”

Yun Xiancheng spoke the truth. The Little Lion explained:

”It was me. I was the proactive one.”

114 You fellow, do you make Master bring a Beauty home every once in a while?

Since the transformation, the originally tense atmosphere had quietly melted away, replaced by a subtle harmony. At the very least, they were no longer like opposing enemies who could break into conflict at any moment.

The purple-haired Beauty—the Big Lion after her transformation—gracefully reached out her hand in an inviting gesture, signaling Yun Xiancheng and his party to rest for a while in her spacious and bright cave.

Although she and Yun Yun had indeed had a brief clash earlier...

...for a dignified Dou Huang expert, the wounds caused by those seemingly intense collisions were no more significant than an ordinary person stubbing a finger. They had recovered to their original state in just a few moments.

”My daughter shares a surname with you and your Master.”

The Big Lion leaned lazily against a massive amethyst. Her beautiful purple eyes shifted, finally landing on Yun Xiancheng. Her tone seemed casual, but it actually held deep meaning.

She was not as innocent and naive as her young daughter; she keenly sensed the subtle connection between the name ”Yun Yan” and Yun Xiancheng. ”I... I chose it myself...” Hearing her mother mention this, Little Yun Yan’s face turned slightly red. She lowered her head in embarrassment and muttered softly. Since her daughter had said so, the Big Lion naturally couldn’t pursue it further. She just nodded faintly. ”Yun, it is a good image, symbolizing the sky and freedom. Very good.”

Having said that, she slowly stood up and walked toward Yun Xiancheng with steps that were slightly awkward for a new human but still graceful.

That peerlessly beautiful face drew near, and a pair of seductive eyes, still flickering with faint purple flames, stared intently into Yun Xiancheng’s eyes. Her nostrils flared slightly. As if confirming something, or as if smelling a scent that made her feel pleasant, she took a soft, deep breath.

In the Big Lion’s perception, the clean and fresh scent on Yun Xiancheng’s body was a bit like... like the warm, reassuring fragrance emitted by her own soft fur when the sun shone on it on a clear day.

At the same time, this main fragrance was also wonderfully mixed with various elegant floral scents, as if they were secluded orchids in a mountain stream, camellias in a courtyard... or even the night-blooming cereus that quietly blooms at night.

In short, it was an indescribable yet exceptionally harmonious array of floral scents, layered and intertwined to form a unique and enchanting aroma.

She found that she... liked this scent very much.

If she weren’t still maintaining her dignity as an elder and her pride as a ruler, perhaps she, like her daughter, wouldn’t be able to resist pouncing on him and nuzzling him:

To absorb more of this comforting aura.

Yun Yun took in every subtle change in expression on the Big Lion’s face as she experienced the joy of rebirth, thinking to herself:

Could my precious Disciple really... really be planning to take this mother and daughter pair from the Amethyst Winged Lion tribe... *cough cough*... into his harem?! Meanwhile, Xiao Yi Xian and Linger had been completely captivated by the adorable little Yun Yan.

They were surrounding her, teasing her fluffy ears and wagging little tail amidst constant laughter; the atmosphere was peaceful.

After smelling Yun Xiancheng’s body fragrance, the Big Lion lightly tapped the amethyst tabletop beside her with her knuckles, then slowly opened her sexy red lips, her voice carrying a hint of lazy magnetism as she said:

”For some reason, I feel that you, young man... are quite good.” A hint of imperceptible confusion flickered across her face.

For the Amethyst Winged Lion King tribe, who had no concept of ”reproduction” and relied solely on energy inheritance for offspring...

That subtle attraction toward the opposite sex, originating from life’s instincts, was a brand new and incomprehensible strange feeling. ”However,”

She changed the subject, her tone certain: ”Since my daughter is so close to you and even willing to share your surname, it proves that you are definitely not a bad person.

”My daughter and I have just taken human form. There are still many things we aren’t used to regarding this body and the human world.” ”Why don’t... you stay here a while longer to accompany me and my daughter while we get used to this feeling of rebirth, how about it?”

The Big Lion made a reasonable suggestion, her purple eyes carrying a hint of sincere request.

Hearing this proposal, Yun Xiancheng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. ”Naturally. You have just taken human form, which is equivalent to a rebirth; you indeed need time to adapt, and you should also begin learning human cultivation methods.”

Saying this, Yun Xiancheng took out an ancient scroll from his storage ring and handed it to the Big Lion, introducing it:

A flash of shock crossed the Big Lion’s purple eyes.

Although she was a Magic Beast, as a Rank 6 Peak existence standing at the top of the Northwest Continent’s food chain, she naturally understood what an ”Earth-Rank Technique” meant in this region; its value went without saying.

It could be said that by practicing an Earth-Rank Technique, the possibility of breaking through to the Dou Zong realm in the future far exceeded those human experts who practiced Black-rank High-grade Cultivation Methods. ”Giving such a heavy gift upon our first meeting?” The Big Lion took the scroll; it felt warm in her hand, and she could feel the profound aura contained within. She looked up at Yun Xian-

-cheng, her tone carrying a hint of scrutiny.

”Yun Yan likes me very much, and my principle has always been this—treat friends with the warmth of a spring breeze and never hesitate to help.” Yun Xiancheng smiled frankly, explaining with a sincere gaze.

Looking at Yun Xiancheng’s gentle and harmless smile, as well as the comforting and intimate aura he radiated, the Big Lion felt the newborn qi cyclone in her dantian jump slightly. A strange feeling surged in her heart once more.

Finally, she slowly nodded, accepting this heavy gift and the goodwill it represented. ”Then... I shall follow your kindness.” She paused, a flash of determination in her purple eyes. Her red lips parted slightly as she said with a lazy smile:

”Yun... is a good surname. From now on, I shall be called... Yun Ziyi.” Yun Yun did not stop Yun Xiancheng’s actions; on the contrary, she highly approved.

Although the Cloud Mist Sect was the number one sect in the Jiama Empire, its foundation was actually not solid. Due to the lack of inheritable Earth-Rank Techniques, every generation only had one Dou Huang presiding over it.

If Yun Xiancheng truly built a good relationship with Yun Ziyi, it meant the Cloud Mist Sect would have an additional Dou Huang helper.

”Chenger, you stay here and accompany them. I still need to go back and teach Yanran,” Yun Yun said.

Yun Xiancheng hugged Yun Yun with some reluctance and said, ”Mm. However... this Disciple has a request.”

Yun Yun was a bit surprised. ”What is it?”

”Linger, come here for a moment.” Linger obediently walked to Yun Xiancheng’s side.

”Greetings, Sect Leader Yun.”

”Linger is a confidante I recently met... but Yaner and I are currently out on a journey of experience, and it’s a bit inconvenient to bring her along. If possible, I would like to ask Master to look after her for me.”

Yun Xiancheng said.

Hearing this, Yun Yun looked at Linger. ”Linger? What do you think?”

”Linger does not wish to hold the Young Master back. If the Young Master is willing to make an arrangement for Linger, Linger is deeply grateful.” Yun Yun calculated the time.

”Then I shall take you to the Cloud Mist Sect. You can stay there for a while, and I can also guide your cultivation.” ”Thank you, Sect Leader...” ”You are Chenger’s... yet-to-be-married wife, don’t be nervous.” Yun Yun patted her shoulder and smiled.

”Any parting words to say?”

Linger nodded and ran to Yun Xiancheng’s side, kissing him on the cheek. ”Young Master... Linger will miss you. Linger wants to be married into your home...” Seeing her bashful appearance, Yun Xiancheng pulled her into an embrace and kissed her lips. ”Mm, I will.”

115 The Big and Little Lions Want to be Petted

”Roasting can actually give food such a flavor? Hmm... perhaps the key lies in the control of the heat.”

Yun Ziyi was dressed in a hazy, light purple gauze dress, leaning back lazily as she took small bites of a piece of Rank 3 Magic Beast hind leg meat that was sizzling with oil. This peerless Beauty, transformed from a Sixth-tier Magical Beast, had never been educated in human etiquette.

But even during a simple meal, every movement still exuded a natural elegance and nobility, as if it were an instinct engraved deep within her bloodline.

”Yaner, be more refined when eating.”

Her gaze shifted to the little Yun Yan nearby, who was holding a large piece of roast meat with both hands, her head buried as she took large bites, her mouth covered in oil. Her image was quite boisterous, and her mother’s tone carried a hint of helpless indulgence.

Of course, upon hearing the name ’Yaner’, Xiao Yan’s delicate body subconsciously tensed up a bit. After all, a Dou Huang expert was still someone she had to face with nervousness. Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle; this wasn’t the first time Xiao Yan had reacted this way. ”Mmph, Mama...”

Hearing her mother’s reminder, Yun Yan finally realized her lack of decorum.

Her little face flushed red as she quickly put down the piece of meat and began to chew and swallow in small bites, mimicking her mother.

However, whether it was the boisterous eating or the current pretense of being refined, on this purple-haired, beast-eared, and adorable loli, it all seemed exceptionally endearing.

”Are you settling in well?”

Yun Ziyi turned her gaze toward Yun Xiancheng, who was sitting composedly nearby, and asked softly. Her voice carried a hint of the raspiness from her recent transformation, yet it added a bit more lazy magnetism.

”Mm, thank you for your concern, Purple Wing. Seeing how you’ve been meticulously decorating the cave dwelling these past few days, I thought you must be tired, so I wanted to prepare a small feast to show my appreciation,” Yun Xiancheng said gently.

”You are very thoughtful.”

Yun Ziyi nodded slightly, accepting his kindness, then changed the subject:

”The cultivation method you gifted me is exceptionally smooth to practice... and vaguely, I can feel a strange connection.”

Her purple eyes gazed at Yun Xiancheng with a hint of inquiry. ”The connection with you is the clearest... as if I can perceive your existence in the unseen. Next is the heart-to-heart connection with Yaner.”

”Furthermore, I can also feel that this technique is definitely no ordinary item; it is extremely profound and seems to have immense room for improvement. You...”

Her red lips curved slightly into a shallow, intrigued smile. ”I’m becoming more and more interested in you.” After a dinner with a subtle atmosphere ended, it was time for the usual cultivation session.
