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

112: Section 112However, these seemingly conciliatory words did not truly solve the problem.

The three beauties were still refusing to give in, once again falling into a stalemate.

Amidst this slightly awkward atmosphere, Yun Xiancheng, who had been smiling silently on the side, finally spoke.

He stretched out his arms and, like a hawk catching chickens, easily gathered the three arguing Young ladies—Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yi Xian—into his broad embrace.

”Alright, alright, my three good wives, do not argue anymore.”

Yun Xiancheng lowered his head and kissed each of their smooth foreheads, his voice tinged with indulgence and helplessness: ”It makes no difference who sits in this seat; there is no need to fight and hurt our harmony.”

Feeling Yun Xiancheng’s warm and powerful embrace, as well as the familiar scent wafting from him, whatever the three Young ladies originally wanted to say ultimately turned into a few low, aggrieved, yet satisfied whimpers.

In the end, it was Nalan Yanran who first broke the silence. She sniffled and said in a reluctant tone: ”Hmph, since husband has said so... then... very well. This young lady shall show mercy today and not lower myself to your level. I will leave this seat to you!”

After speaking, she pretended to be magnanimous and broke free from Yun Xiancheng’s embrace. Her gaze swept across the room and finally landed on Linger, who was sitting quietly to the side.

She walked gracefully to Linger’s side and said softly: ”Sister Linger, shall I sit with you today?”

Seeing this, Linger hurriedly nodded, made room for Nalan Yanran, and thoughtfully served her a cup of warm, fragrant tea: ”Mm, of course that is fine. Sister Yan, the tea is still a bit hot, please drink slowly so you don’t burn yourself.”

Seeing Nalan Yanran voluntarily back down, Xiao Yan thought for a moment and felt that continuing to argue would be beneath her. Thus, she gracefully took a step back and ultimately chose to sit beside Lin Fei, who had previously been pulled down to sit by Snow Charm.

Xiao Yi Xian watched their actions, stunned for a moment, and then turned her gaze to Yun Xiancheng beside her, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

Yun Xiancheng looked at her gently, nodded slightly, and said with a hint of affirmation: ”Alright, my Xiao Yi Xian, since they have already made their choices, you can sit here with peace of mind this time.”

229 Enjoying the Feast

Xiao Yi Xian sat beside Yun Xiancheng with her hands on her lap, head lowered, being watched by the gazes of the other Young ladies.

Or rather, the person the other Young ladies were watching was Yun Xiancheng; Xiao Yi Xian was just receiving some residual glances because she was sitting beside him. However, it still brought considerable mental pressure to Xiao Yi Xian.

Yun Xiancheng’s hand rested on her shoulder, soothing the young lady’s emotions.

Xiao Yi Xian took a deep breath, trying to calm her slightly rapid heartbeat.

She could clearly feel the outline of Yun Xiancheng’s fingers and the reassuring body heat radiating from his palm. This familiar and warm feeling quickly stabilized her originally chaotic emotions.

The next moment, she summoned up all her courage and took the initiative to reach out her slightly cool small hand, gently grasping Yun Xiancheng’s large hand resting on her shoulder, their fingers interlacing tightly.

Yun Xiancheng was slightly startled, then nodded knowingly, allowing her to hold his hand so intimately without any intention of pulling away. Xiao Yi Xian’s fingers were slender and long, but their touch carried a strange, icy coolness, like a piece of fine cold jade.

Moreover, when their skin was in close contact, Yun Xiancheng could vaguely feel an extremely faint, almost imperceptible burning sensation from her fingertips.

This feeling was not painful; instead, it carried a strange tingling sensation. Presumably, this was because she had not yet activated the autonomous defense system of the Calamity Poison Body, and the deadly poison within her had not been fully triggered.

”Why are you all still stunned?”

Yun Xiancheng raised his eyes and swept his gaze over the Young ladies at the dining table who had yet to pick up their chopsticks and were only staring at him longingly. His tone carried a hint of helplessness and amusement: ”Could it be... you are not hungry? These are all Sister Ya Fei’s thoughtful efforts.”

”Husband, your words are truly a bit muddled.”

Hearing this, Ya Fei on the side couldn’t help but cover her lips and chuckle, her eyes flowing with charm.

”The sisters are looking forward to it so eagerly not because they aren’t hungry, but because they are waiting for you, the head of the household, to pick up your chopsticks first.”

Hearing this, Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but shake his head, his tone carrying a bit of disapproval: ”We are all one family, why bother with these empty formalities? There is no need, truly no need.”

Although Yun Xiancheng did not care about these so-called ”rules,” the Young ladies at the dining table all behaved exceptionally well and sensibly.

They just looked at him quietly, with sweet smiles on their faces, yet no one was the first to move their chopsticks, clearly giving him the full dignity of the ”head of the household.” ”Husband, that is where you are wrong. It is unnecessary, yet necessary.”

Green Savage on the side took over the conversation, her voice carrying a touch of maturity and wisdom.

”In the future, when there are more sisters, it is inevitable that some will have different personalities. Some basic, simple rules will not affect everyone.”

She paused and finally said: ”It can also show the sisters’ respect for you.” Yun Xiancheng thought for a moment and finally said: ”Do not engage in that ’order of superiority and inferiority’ stuff.” Hearing this, the Young ladies naturally understood and were very clear about it.

Ya Fei smiled beautifully. Her slender hand, which had originally been resting quietly on the table, unknowingly and gently placed itself on Yun Xiancheng’s other hand resting on the table’s edge.

She also ”lent a hand” by naturally picking up the pair of exquisite ebony chopsticks in front of Yun Xiancheng for him.

At this moment, Yun Xiancheng had his left hand held tightly by Xiao Yi Xian and his right hand held gently by Ya Fei; he was truly in a ”dilemma.”

He simply relaxed completely, leaned back comfortably in his chair, assumed a lazy posture of ”do as you please,” and let Ya Fei serve him.

Seeing Yun Xiancheng’s ”do as you please” appearance, Ya Fei’s heart couldn’t help but flutter, but she immediately warned herself not to be too presumptuous.

She suppressed the ripples in her heart and thoughtfully selected a dish of steamed sea bass from the food in front of her, carefully picking up a small piece for Yun Xiancheng.

Signaling that everyone could start eating.

After Yun Xiancheng symbolically moved his chopsticks, the Young ladies at the table moved their chopsticks as if they had received the ”signal to lift the ban.”

For a time, the sound of bowls and chopsticks clashing and the laughter of the Young ladies filled the air at the dining table, and the atmosphere was extremely lively. ”Lord Guan, please try this snow frog soup that Sister Ya Fei stewed herself; it is very nourishing.”

Ya Fei said softly, personally serving Yun Xiancheng a small bowl of crystal-clear snow frog soup that emitted a faint, fragrant scent.

Yun Xiancheng opened his mouth with a smile, letting Ya Fei feed him a spoonful of warm snow frog, savoring the smooth, tender, and delicious taste.

Ya Fei’s beautiful eyes shone with anticipation, watching Yun Xiancheng’s expression unceasingly, like a primary school student waiting for a teacher to grade their homework.

”Mm, the taste is excellent, sweet but not greasy, smooth and refreshing.” Yun Xiancheng did not hold back his praise and said with a smile, ”Sister Ya Fei’s cooking skills have truly improved.”

Receiving affirmation from her beloved, the smile on Ya Fei’s face became even brighter.

She didn’t say much, but couldn’t help leaning forward and gently planting a kiss with a faint, lingering fragrance on Yun Xiancheng’s smooth cheek.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian felt a slight stir in her heart.

She glanced at the ”soft-shelled turtle soup” on the table, had a sudden inspiration, and carefully took a whole turtle shell from the soup basin. She then used a spoon to carefully scoop some thick soup and a few pieces of tender turtle meat from inside, placing them into the shell, and then expectantly handed this ”special” nourishing food to Yun Xiancheng.

At this moment, Yun Xiancheng’s two hands were being ”occupied” by Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian on his left and right, so he naturally could not lift the turtle shell himself. He had no intention of breaking free and just looked at the two beauties with a smile.

Ya Fei was intelligent and quick-witted; seeing this, she understood immediately and signaled to Xiao Yi Xian with her eyes. Xiao Yi Xian was also a quick-thinking person and instantly understood what Ya Fei meant.

Her left hand, which was being held by Yun Xiancheng, maintained its interlaced position, while her free right hand steadily lifted the shell containing the turtle meat and thick soup, gently serving Yun Xiancheng.

The texture of the turtle meat was completely different from ordinary poultry or livestock, carrying a unique deliciousness and chewiness, and the soup was rich and mellow with a long-lasting aftertaste. After tasting it carefully, Yun Xiancheng nodded with satisfaction, looked at Xiao Yi Xian with gentle eyes, and said softly: ”The taste is very good. You put in a lot of thought. Thank you, my Xiao Yi Xian.”

Receiving such sincere praise from Yun Xiancheng, Xiao Yi Xian was immediately overjoyed, her beautiful eyes smiling into curved crescent moons, looking indescribably charming and cute.

The other Young ladies around them, watching the intimate interaction between Yun Xiancheng, Ya Fei, and Xiao Yi Xian, felt a little envious in their hearts, but since they were ”out of reach,” they could only watch the three of them ”showing affection” longingly.

However, as the saying goes, ”Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets their mind to it.”

Green Savage, whose cultivation had already reached the Dou Zong Realm, had a mischievous smile on the corner of her mouth.

She stretched out her jade chopsticks holding a dish and tapped them lightly and seemingly casually on the edge of the table in front of her.

The next moment, a surprising scene occurred—in the air between her and Yun Xiancheng, a small spatial refraction unexpectedly appeared, allowing her to reach her hand through.

”Husband~ Take a look and see what delicious food Green Savage has picked up for you~”

Green Savage’s voice carried a hint of pride and a desire for credit. With a slight movement of her jade chopsticks, she sent an aromatic braised lion’s head through that small spatial refraction, delivering it with pinpoint accuracy to Yun Xiancheng’s lips.

Watching this magical scene, Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but laugh heartily. He opened his mouth without hesitation and accepted this feeding from Green Savage.

This stunning feat of long-distance feeding by Green Savage undoubtedly opened the door to a new world for the other Young ladies present. They were all dumbfounded, and immediately began to rack their brains, each showing off their own unique abilities.

Xiao Yan, being the closest, was naturally unwilling to fall behind. She was already sitting not far from Yun Xiancheng, so she only needed to arch her body slightly and extend her arm to deliver her carefully selected dish to her husband’s mouth.

Following closely behind were Lin Fei, Snow Charm, Linger, and Nalan Yanran, the Young ladies who were sitting a bit further away.

They either needed to half-stand up or lean their bodies forward as much as possible to barely manage to deliver the delicacies on the tips of their chopsticks to Yun Xiancheng’s mouth.

Facing such a passionate and varied feeding offensive from the Young ladies, Yun Xiancheng always wore a faint smile, refusing no one and accepting each one gladly.

Gradually, this late-night snack, which had originally been ”orderly,” evolved into a lively ”group feeding party” filled with laughter. The Young ladies, like tireless little bees, swarmed around Yun Xiancheng, scrambling to feed him the food they considered most delicious, bit by bit.

Nearby, Big Lion Zi Yi rested her cheek on one hand, watching the lively scene of ”the husband being fed by many beauties” with great interest. She felt that such a picture was truly heartwarming and amusing.

230 Deep Sisterly and Brotherly Affection

With everyone full of food and wine and the moon high in the sky, the lively family banquet finally came to an end.

With a gentle yet authoritative smile on her face, Ya Fei ”invited” the sisters, who were still enjoying themselves, out of Yun Xiancheng’s bedroom, clearing away the ”obstacles” for the sweet time she would soon enjoy alone with her lover.

Considering that Ya Fei had graciously hosted everyone and spent so much effort preparing such a sumptuous dinner, and the other Young ladies had already had their turn, it was naturally her turn according to the order.

Thus, they dispersed in twos and threes with smiles of slight intoxication, returning to their respective rooms to rest.

The layout of the Yun Residence was quite ingenious, with the main courtyard where Yun Xiancheng lived as the core, and other independent, exquisite courtyards built around its perimeter like stars surrounding the moon.

Therefore, after leaving Yun Xiancheng’s courtyard, the Young ladies only needed to take a few steps to return to their own cozy little dwellings. The straight-line distance was not far. However, for these infatuated women who had long since tied their hearts completely to Yun Xiancheng, even these few short steps still seemed too long.

They wished they could be stuck tightly to their beloved husband day and night, every moment, never to be separated for even a second.

After everyone had left, Ya Fei turned around and gently closed the door, then carefully drew the heavy curtains, isolating everything from outside prying eyes. She took a few night-luminescent pearls the size of pigeon eggs from her storage ring and embedded them one by one into the grooves specially left in the corner of the wall.

In an instant, a soft and bright pearlescent light poured down, illuminating the entire room as if it were daylight, yet with a bit more haziness and ambiguity than the day, possessing a uniquely intoxicating charm.

”My dear,” Ya Fei walked gracefully to Yun Xiancheng’s side, sat down close to him, and rested her head gently on his shoulder. Her voice was soft and seductive, carrying a hint of imperceptible testing, ”Will you… will you hold a grudge because I didn’t let the other sisters stay to accompany you?”

”I won’t.” Hearing this, Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but laugh. He reached out, gently wrapped his arm around Ya Fei’s soft, boneless shoulders, shook his head, and said with a hint of sincere apology, ”Come to think of it, I have spent too little time accompanying Sister Ya Fei on ordinary days.”

Hearing these thoughtful words from Yun Xiancheng, Ya Fei felt a warmth in her heart, feeling that all her fatigue and hard work had vanished at this moment.

She reached out with her two warm, soft hands, tightly clasped Yun Xiancheng’s large hand, knitted her beautiful eyebrows slightly, and said with a touch of feigned anger: ”Husband! What are you saying? You are really going to be the death of Ya Fei!”

She tilted her pretty face up slightly, looked into Yun Xiancheng’s eyes with absolute seriousness, and said word by word: ”In Ya Fei’s heart, Husband is a great hero, standing tall and shouldering the world, with countless more important and greater missions waiting for you to complete. For us women in the back courtyard, being able to accompany you and offer a little help when you occasionally feel tired is already our greatest honor; how could we dare to ask for more?”

Hearing this, Yun Xiancheng felt a surge of emotion. He lowered his head, reached out with his finger, and gently pinched Ya Fei’s pert, beautiful nose, his eyes filled with doting smiles: ”My good sister, you cannot say it that way.” He paused, his tone becoming extremely solemn: ”In my heart, you are my wife, the most important and irreplaceable existence in my, Yun Xiancheng’s, life.”

As Yun Xiancheng spoke, he no longer gave Ya Fei a chance to argue, directly lowering his head and kissing her red, slightly parted lips, which looked like they were dripping with nectar.

This was a lingering and long kiss, filled with deep love and tenderness that could not be melted away. Their lips and tongues intertwined, their breath mingled, as if they wanted to merge each other into the depths of their souls.

After a long while, until both felt slightly oxygen-deprived, they reluctantly and slowly separated.

Yun Xiancheng gently rubbed Ya Fei’s lips, which were slightly swollen from the kiss, with his thumb, gazing into her beautiful eyes that were shimmering with moisture due to passion, and continued softly: ”Each of you is meant to accompany me, Yun Xiancheng, to walk this long path of cultivation together and see the prosperity of this vast world. My mission, isn’t it also your mission?”

Immediately after, he added with a tone of self-deprecation, sighing lightly: ”You are the most important ties I have in this mundane world, the indispensable other half of me, Yun Xiancheng.”

Listening to this heartfelt confession from Yun Xiancheng, Ya Fei’s heart was already filled with tenderness and immense emotion. However, she still spoke with a touch of coquettish anger, lightly punching Yun Xiancheng’s chest, and complained: ”What a glib-tongued little fellow! Husband, you are becoming increasingly good at saying these sweet words to comfort people. Back then, you were only seventeen years old and were already a famous Dou King Expert in the region. Although Ya Fei is many years older than you, in terms of cultivation, I have long been left far behind by you. Although I am a sister in name, in reality, I cannot help you, my younger brother, in the slightest. It is truly shameful to speak of it.”

Hearing this, Yun Xiancheng just smiled dotingly, stretched out his arms, and pulled Ya Fei’s plump, mature, and curvaceous body tightly into his embrace. With a thought, a simple and elegant storage ring appeared in his hand out of thin air, with flowing light faintly shimmering on it.

”These are some spoils of war I ’captured’ from the Myriad Scorpion Gate within the Izumo Empire some time ago. Inside are mostly gold, silver, jewelry, medicinal herbs, ores, and some cultivation techniques. They are of no use to my cultivation, and I don’t use them on a daily basis. Sister, you are clever and skilled at managing household affairs, so let these things be managed by you. It can be considered adding some assets to our home.”

Ya Fei looked at the storage ring Yun Xiancheng handed over, and her heart couldn’t help but stir.

She naturally remembered that three years ago, in Wutan City, Yun Xiancheng had jokingly said that he would let her manage the family’s financial power in the future.

It’s just that, coming right out and handing over such a large pile of ”captured” spoils for her to manage, this way of ”housekeeping” was truly… quite unique.

Ya Fei smiled and took the storage ring, her voice carrying a hint of seriousness: ”Younger brother, do you have any special needs for your daily cultivation? Sister can also see if I can use these assets to collect them for you, to help your cultivation progress further.”

She almost immediately wanted to use these resources on Yun Xiancheng.

Yun Xiancheng’s path of cultivation was different from ordinary people; he basically didn’t rely much on external resources.

For him, with the internal circulation system formed by his confidantes, he basically didn’t need to consume many resources.

”Look at you, look at you,”

Hearing this from Yun Xiancheng, Ya Fei couldn’t help but pout her red lips in feigned dissatisfaction, resting her head gently on his chest, and said with a hint of resentment: ”Sister wants to do something for you, but you don’t need anything at all. In this way, wouldn’t Sister become a useless ornament? Do you still think Sister… is useful to you?”
