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

97: Section 97Seeing that her younger sister had also found a good match, Gu Yue’s face involuntarily revealed a faint, gratified smile. An expression like jealousy could appear on anyone’s face, but it absolutely could not be hers.

She gracefully sat on the edge of the bed, her gentle gaze turning to Xiao Yi Xian on the couch: ”Sister Xiao Yi Xian, should Yao Ye also call you... sister?” Hearing Yao Ye being so well-behaved and polite, Xiao Yi Xian’s bright eyes instantly curved into adorable crescents.

”I knew Xiancheng first. In terms of affection, I should indeed be your sister,” she said with a smile. ”You may call me Xiao Yi Xian, or simply ’sister’, either is fine.”

Upon hearing this, Yao Ye seemed slightly hesitant, her eyes flickering. ”But, sister, you look to be only around twenty,” she blinked, with a touch of youthful charm, ”your age seems even a bit younger than Gu Yue’s.”

Xiao Yi Xian pondered for a moment upon hearing this. Her thoughts turned; Xiancheng’s side would surely not lack sisters in the future.

This title of ’sister’ would be unavoidable among peers, and even more so towards elders later on. For sisters like them who were of similar age, there was no need to be bound by it. ”How about this? From now on, we sisters can address each other by name,” Xiao Yi Xian suggested softly, her tone gentle. ”Among peers, we need not distinguish between seniority or superiority, but rather

build our friendship on sisterly affection. What do you think?”

Xiao Yi Xian’s suggestion was indeed considerate.

Yao Ye was also intelligent. Considering that by Xiancheng’s side, elders might be respectfully addressed as ’sister’, while juniors would be ’younger sister’.

For those of them who were similar in age, addressing each other by name would indeed be more comfortable and avoid much unnecessary formality. Yao Ye nodded with a faint smile. ”That would be excellent.”

Yun Xiancheng bent down, scooped the delicate Heavenly Moon in his arms into a bridal carry, and walked slowly to sit on the edge of the bed.

”The high-end combat power of the Izumo Empire has been cleared out. Ye’er, how much longer will you need to clean up the remnants and pursue the fleeing enemies?”

The moment Yun Xiancheng opened his mouth, it was about military and state affairs. This made Heavenly Moon, curled up in his arms and secretly anticipating something else, purse her lips slightly, feeling a touch of disappointment.

”I’m afraid it will still take some time. Our ancestor left a Dou Qi inheritance for my sister and me. I also need to go into seclusion for a while to fully absorb it.” With that, she flipped her delicate hand, and a dazzling golden sphere of Dou Qi light appeared in her palm.

”I estimate that if I can fully refine this, I should be able to break through to the Dou Huang Realm in one go, living up to our ancestors’ legacy.”

”Within the Izumo Empire, many prominent families have already submitted letters of surrender. As for their imperial capital... after this battle, its central authority is paralyzed. The Jia Ma Empire has, in the true sense, defeated this thousand-year-old rival.”

When discussing state affairs, Yao Ye regained the composure and sophistication of an empress. After finishing her words, she actively took Yun Xiancheng’s hand, her gaze brilliant and earnest. ”Thank you, Xiancheng. If not for you, how could we have today’s situation... my hero.”

Yun Xiancheng clasped Gu Yue’s delicate hand in return, pulling her closer, and lowered his head to press against her lovely lips.

If her younger sister was already moved, how could her elder sister resist? Yao Ye not only didn’t evade, but instead, her starry eyes half-closed, her breath fragrant like orchids, she actively responded. As their lips and tongues intertwined, in just a moment, her delicate body had gone soft, her eyes seductive and hazy, collapsing limply in Yun Xiancheng’s embrace.

”You once joked about gifting this Jia Ma Empire as a betrothal present. Though ruling a kingdom was not my wish, now, this is indeed our shared family enterprise.” Yun Xiancheng whispered in her ear, a hint of teasing in his tone. ”Your Majesty, my Empress, you must guard this family enterprise well.”

Seeing Yun Xiancheng being so intimate with her elder sister, Heavenly Moon, who was watching from the side, immediately felt a surge of jealousy. With a coquettish cry, she squeezed into Yun Xiancheng’s other side, urgently saying:

”I... I can also refine pills! I can also help Xiancheng!”

Seeing her so eager and adorable, Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but smile gently. ”Mm, our Yue’er must also cultivate diligently. In the future, you will surely be able to refine the finest pills.”

Seeing her younger sister’s urgency, Yao Ye secretly laughed, adding to her own allure. She grabbed Yun Xiancheng’s hand, taking his long fingers into the warmth of her mouth, her gaze flowing.

”Mmm... husband’s fingers are so sweet~”

Seeing her elder sister’s bold and flirtatious act, Heavenly Moon first widened her apricot eyes, her small mouth slightly agape. Then, she copied the example, grabbing Yun Xiancheng’s other hand and putting his fingers in her mouth, though her movements were noticeably more inexperienced.

The two played around for half the night before remembering Xiao Yi Xian was also present. Then, blushing, the two of them fled from the spot.

This pair of peerless sisters seemed to be secretly competing now, making Xiao Yi Xian, watching from the side, chuckle. ”But... since they don’t want it, then I’ll take it.”

Xiao Yi Xian pressed against Yun Xiancheng, sitting astride him, her eyes fixed on him, her dark hair turning snow-white. The long-separated pair intertwined their fingers, singing joyfully within the tent.

Outside the tent, Ying, Yun Yun, Big Lion, and Lü Man stood guard for them through the night, isolating this small space.

And incidentally, they studied Ying’s superb peeping skills. ”Is this perspective really that fun?”

Yun Yun watched for a long while before finally shaking her head helplessly.

”I think if I push you in right now and let you experience true bliss, you’ll know this peeping is nothing.”

Ying’s small face flushed bright red. Having her sole source of entertainment over the past few years utterly devalued like this, she wanted to retort but felt somewhat weak. Yun Yun was just talking, but Big Lion gave a gentle push, shoving Ying out from the shadows.

196 You Will Become My Shadow

”Hey, hello.”

Pushed out, Ying looked at Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yi Xian, feeling utterly awkward. Xiao Yi Xian, seeing Ying suddenly intrude, happened to be at the critical moment of ascending to bliss. The young woman let out a startled cry, nearly falling backward.

But relying on her Dou Wang strength, she forcibly controlled her bodily functions, then bent over, burying her head against Yun Xiancheng’s chest. However, she was still busy with the main task, not daring to look at Ying.

”Come, come to my side.”

Yun Xiancheng was much calmer. Having accompanied many young women before, he naturally wouldn’t be shy about such things. He beckoned to Ying. Ying obediently approached, nuzzling her head against Yun Xiancheng’s hand.

Her small face was flushed. After peeping for three years, this was the first time she had gotten this close to the Young Master in such a situation.

However, she considered herself quite experienced. Although she had only watched from the side, seeing equals knowing, and knowing equals mastery. She had long understood much of what the Young Master and the Madams played, including the Young Master’s preferences, like how they usually stacked when making a ’hamburger’. ”This sister... wait a moment, wait a moment...”

Xiao Yi Xian spoke intermittently, her eyes rolling back, clearly in a state of hazy consciousness. Ying looked at her appearance now—a similar sight she had seen many times.

The Madams had all become like this under the Young Master’s guidance. She understood this was a state of extreme joy.

Just like the world in her cognition, she could learn about blue skies, white clouds, waterfalls, and yellow sand from books, but she had never seen them in her homeland. Xiao Yi Xian’s current state, she had read about in books but never experienced.

Letting the Young Master and the Madams feel at ease, happy, and ensuring their safety—with her, absolutely no one would be able to see them. She was like the seasoned master manipulating a play to proceed normally, all for the sake of the male and female leads performing normally.

But tonight, was she herself going to become the female lead in the play? Her mind was in chaos, her thoughts many.

After a long bout of wild thoughts, she felt Yun Xiancheng’s hand stroking her head. Kneeling on the floor, she gently nuzzled against it, responding to his touch.

She suddenly realized this behavior was rather like a little dog, sitting beside its master while he attended to business, the master reaching out a hand to stroke its head.

Ying had self-awareness. As an attendant to the daughter of the Gu Clan’s Patriarch, her status was essentially that of a small pet. But if she climbed into Yun Xiancheng’s bed, what would change?

Wouldn’t she be on equal footing with the Second Miss? That wouldn’t do.

But hadn’t the Second Miss hinted that she could climb into the Young Master’s bed?

Amidst her wild thoughts, Ying was suddenly embraced by Yun Xiancheng, her head resting on a soft pillow. ”Your face is so hot.”

Yun Xiancheng placed a hand on Ying’s cheek, speaking softly. ”You’ve been by my side for a long time. And you really like to peep.” Hearing the Young Master say this, her face grew even hotter.

”Actually, you don’t need to be afraid. You could have come in earlier. In my home, everyone is the same.”

Ying was also clear about Yun Xiancheng’s philosophy, but she still opened her mouth to say, ”No... it’s not appropriate.” ”Order between superior and inferior is the natural law and moral order. Ying is merely a guard; she should not overstep.”

Hearing this request, Yun Xiancheng shook his head helplessly. Who actively lowers their own status like this!

Hmm... it seemed she had been a guard since childhood, educated as such. And to be Xun’er’s guard, she must have been the most diligent one.

And indeed, through diligence, she had achieved an unimaginable position: the personal guard of the Second Miss of the Gu Clan, a future Dou Sheng, a core member of the Second Miss’s retinue.

But because of this, she deeply believed in the worldview instilled in her by the Gu Clan: the most diligent, the most servile. Yun Xiancheng hooked a finger under her chin, making her look into his eyes.

”Then I will say, you are also my wife. Among my wives, there should be no distinction.” This immediately made Ying feel embarrassed.

After all, it was a statement challenging the worldview she had held for over twenty years.

But she was no fool. Her mind raced, trying to find a solution, an answer that would not betray herself nor disappoint him. After thinking for a while, she slowly spoke.

”Then I... I am the dowry maid brought by the Second Miss. I belong to the Young Master. I do not seek status; being able to stay by the Young Master’s side is enough.” Yun Xiancheng smiled gently, slowly removing her black clothes, revealing snow-white skin.

Then, with one hand, he held her wrist, pinning her down, while the other gently stroked her blushing cheek. Ying did not resist. On the contrary, her legs instinctively wrapped around Yun Xiancheng’s waist.

”My Shadow Guard, no matter what you think—dowry maid, chamber maid—since you are willing to entrust your life to me, then, I will naturally”

give you an answer.

Yun Xiancheng only spoke half the sentence before gently kissing her lips.

Ying clumsily welcomed Yun Xiancheng’s French kiss. Before long, she too melted into a puddle of softness, collapsing on the bed. Yun Xiancheng continued:

”Live as my Shadow Guard, as my wife, not as a servant.”

At this moment, Ying’s mind was already a wedding scene, allowing little room for thought. Lying beneath Yun Xiancheng, she let out soft whimpers:

”Mmm... Young Master... I understand.” ”You used the wrong form of address.”

Yun Xiancheng hooked her chin, his other hand slowly moving down her spine. ”Mmm... husband...”

Stars danced before Ying’s eyes. Under the assault of Yun Xiancheng’s fingers, she had become a complete mess. She cooed.

Seeing the Beauty had no resistance left, Yun Xiancheng knew it was time for the main event. ”Then get ready.”

Saying this, Yun Xiancheng positioned the Beauty in a completely exposed posture. The young woman instinctively wanted to cross her arms over her chest, but both her hands were pinned above her head by Yun Xiancheng, leaving no room for control.

”Please... please accept me.”

Ying’s thousand words ultimately condensed into one sentence.

Then, she tightly grasped Yun Xiancheng’s back, experiencing the sensation of that moment.

In that instant, she felt as if she had ascended to the clouds above, lifting her head to gaze at the magnificent Heavenly Palace above the cloud layer. She threw her head back, her consciousness completely blurred, but her body instinctively held Yun Xiancheng tighter.

Her sensitivity astonished Yun Xiancheng. Perhaps her years of peeping had accumulated much desire, and now, finally getting her wish, the explosion of longing was terrifyingly intense.

But Yun Xiancheng was fearless.

He controlled the overall rhythm, letting Ying, experiencing intimacy for the first time, taste the bliss of the Heavenly Palace. She understood the source of the Madams’ happiness.

Soon, she completely surrendered in his embrace, stepping from behind the scenes onto the stage for the first time, enjoying the infinite pleasure her husband brought her.

197 Very Urgent, You All Should Hurry Up and Hold the Wedding.

Early the next morning, Ying, like a little puppy, sweetly woke Yun Xiancheng. Seeing Ying peeking out from his lap, Yun Xiancheng gave a light smile to show he was happy with her actions.

Ying swallowed, taking the divine nectar down her throat. Then she said:

”What the husband says is what Ying follows.”

She was like a flower after being nourished, a hint of allure lingering at the corners of her eyes.

She now probably understood what it meant to experience a different life. Her eyes were even moist.

Yun Xiancheng ruffled her head and said, ”Then you are my exclusive Shadow Guard.”

The Beauty did not hesitate. She nuzzled Yun Xiancheng’s hand and said, ”Ying will always guard the Young Master’s side.”

”If Xun’er and I both fall into the water, who will you save first?” Hearing this question, Ying answered smoothly:

”I will serve you in the water together with Madam Xun’er.” A perfect answer.

Hearing this, Yun Xiancheng stopped teasing her. He felt the chain reaction brought by Ying’s breakthrough.

Thanks to the family network sharing, he had broken through to Eight-star Dou Ling.

Kneeling beside her was Xiao Yi Xian. It turned out Xiao Yi Xian had been teaching her how to perform the morning grooming service for Yun Xiancheng. ”How is it, husband?”

Xiao Yi Xian covered her mouth with a smile. At this moment, her hair was snow-white, the strands cascading down from her collarbone to her chest. ”Very good.”

Yun Xiancheng praised Xiao Yi Xian’s teaching skills. Ying’s first time was clumsy, but one could clearly feel her striving to learn.

The three of them joked and played for a while before dressing. Ying once again melted into Yun Xiancheng’s shadow. ”It’s probably time to return.”

Yun Xiancheng looked at the newly risen morning sun and said seriously.

Returning to the Cloud Mist Sect to deal with Yun Shan was relatively simple. Ying and Lü Man were both genuine One-star Dou Zongs, far more powerful than Yun Shan, a Ten-star Dou Huang.

It was just unknown how many Soul Hall Protectors would come. Most likely only one, but it was hard to say... After all, after his actions in Izumo, once the

intelligence reached the Soul Hall Protectors, if they wanted to back Yun Shan, they might, to be safe, send an extra Protector to the Cloud Mist Sect?

Then the final enemies would most likely be one Ten-star Dou Huang and two Soul Hall Protectors.

Yun Xiancheng rubbed Xiaoer, who was sleeping on his neck, mentally calculating the final battle on Yun Lan Mountain.

At that moment, Yun Xiancheng saw Jia Xingtian leaning on a cane, accompanied by the royal sisters, chatting with Yun Yun at the entrance. The sisters were dressed in red, looking very festive.

Jia Xingtian had aged beyond recognition, so weak he even needed a cane to walk, showing none of the majesty he once had as a Dou Huang.

Almost without needing Yun Yun’s reminder, Yun Xiancheng actively left the tent, bringing Xiao Yi Xian with him, and approached them.

”Cough... Yun Xiancheng, I don’t have long to live. Some things must be done ahead of time. You don’t mind me troubling you again, do you?” Jia Xingtian said between coughs.

”Not at all. Senior Jia, would you like to sit and talk?” Seeing his condition, Yun Xiancheng asked.

”No need for that. I’m about to die, so let’s skip the idle talk.”

In his words, one could still catch a trace of his former forthrightness, indifferent to his own life and death.

”After separating my Dou Qi, I will die immediately. I won’t last until the return journey.” Jia Xingtian’s turbid eyes looked at Yun Xiancheng.

Yun Xiancheng simply bowed with clasped hands. ”Xiancheng will shoulder their lives, without regret for a lifetime, and will absolutely never let them suffer any grievance. Naturally, I will protect them.”
