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

122: Section 122Seeing that Colorful Butterfly was ready, Yun Xiancheng gently pulled her into his arms, lowering his head to plant a soft kiss on her forehead. Then, his lips moved all the way down, finally coming to rest on her soft red lips.

Colorful Butterfly felt an unprecedented surge of heat instantly rise from her lower abdomen, rapidly spreading throughout her entire body.

Her heart rate accelerated, her breathing became hurried, and her whole being was immersed in this wonderful sensation.

Yun Xiancheng’s kiss was gentle yet domineering, as if he wanted to suck out Colorful Butterfly’s very soul. Colorful Butterfly felt her consciousness become a bit blurred, completely submerged in this unprecedented, marvelous feeling.

Seeing this, Moon Charm and Hua She Er smiled slightly and found their own positions, beginning to gently kiss Yun Xiancheng’s ears and neck. Colorful Butterfly felt as if she were floating among the clouds, surrounded by an unprecedented sense of happiness and satisfaction.

Her slender snake tail continuously coiled around Yun Xiancheng’s waist, forming an even tighter connection and intimacy with him. At this moment, Colorful Butterfly finally understood why Moon Charm and Hua She Er were always so obsessed with and attached to Yun Xiancheng.

Such a man and such a feeling were simply the most beautiful enjoyment in the world, making one unable to stop or extricate themselves. Outside the window, the bright moon hung high, casting a cold moonlight. Inside the room, however, it was filled with the spirit of spring and a passion like fire.

248 Black-Corner Region

The wheels rolled over the rugged, uneven dirt road, making a monotonous ”creak” sound. Yun Xiancheng sat cross-legged inside the carriage, near the window.

The massive black city on the horizon outside the window was gradually becoming clearer.

At this moment, the petite and exquisite Medicine Lady was sitting steadily on the bridge of Yun Xiancheng’s nose.

She seemed to have a special fondness for Yun Xiancheng’s high nose bridge, occasionally stretching out her delicate little feet to gently rub against his warm nose tip—a gesture that was intimate yet carried a bit of childish playfulness.

The icy, smooth touch of Medicine Lady’s undergarments pressed against his skin, bringing a sense of comfort and coolness. To Yun Xiancheng’s left and right, ”Big Lion” and ”Little Lion” respectively leaned against him.

Like two pieces of clingy candy, they domineeringly occupied Yun Xiancheng’s broad shoulders, leaning gently against the hollow of his neck, breathing evenly with tranquil sleeping faces.

Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan sat side-by-side opposite Yun Xiancheng, taking great interest in admiring the ever-changing, exotic, and rugged scenery outside the window.

The land the carriage was traveling through was the famous Black-Corner Region, known throughout the northwestern region of the Fighting Qi Continent.

Compared to places like the relatively orderly Jia Ma Empire, the greatest characteristic of this place was one word—chaos! A chaos that went deep into the marrow, with disputes everywhere.

Here, murder and arson were just common occurrences; backstabbing was as natural as breathing. In every street and alley, desperate outlaws with fierce gazes and powerful auras could be seen everywhere.

Because the place itself was already a lawless land of chaos, it naturally attracted even more heinous criminals who had committed monstrous crimes in other regions and had nowhere else to go, coming here to seek ”protection” and opportunity.

All of this formed a vicious cycle, making this land filled with lawless desperadoes who viewed human life as cheap as grass.

”The first destination of our trip should be coming up soon.”

Yun Xiancheng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, now slowly opened his eyes, which were as deep as the starry sky. He looked calmly at the massive black city getting closer outside the window and spoke in a gentle voice.

”After traveling a bit further, we will need to abandon the carriage and proceed on foot.”

Hearing Yun Xiancheng speak, Xiao Yan happened to ask her own question: ”Husband, why don’t we go directly to Jia Nan Academy? Wouldn’t that be faster?”

”Because traversing this peril-filled Black-Corner Region will better temper you all.”

Yun Xiancheng turned his head, looking at Xiao Yan with a gentle gaze and a meaningful slight smile on his lips.

He had his own considerations. Over these years, because his wings as a ”butterfly of variables” had flapped too ”actively” and ”frequently,”

Xiao Yan’s path of growth had become somewhat too smooth compared to the trajectory in the original story, one could even say... it lacked true tempering.

This directly resulted in her being a high-level Great Dou Master now.

However, her actual combat experience, especially the kind of brutal fighting experience on the edge of life and death that requires bursting forth with all one’s potential, was relatively lacking.

More importantly, the current Xiao Yan had not yet successfully comprehended and executed the ’Buddha’s Fury Fire Lotus,’ which could be called her signature trump card in the future. Therefore, he had to find a way for her to successfully comprehend and master this powerful Dou Technique during this upcoming trip through the Black-Corner Region!

”You might not be very clear on this,” Yun Xiancheng paused and continued to explain, ”Purchasing things in this Black-Corner Region, especially in those large auction houses where dragons and snakes mingle, is worlds apart from how it was in the Jia Ma Empire.”

”In the Jia Ma Empire, as long as you can afford to pay and win the item you want, you can basically take it away safely after the auction ends without encountering much trouble.”

”But here in the Black-Corner Region,”

His tone shifted, becoming a bit more serious:

”The situation is completely different. What prevails here is the naked law of the jungle, where the strong are respected and the weak are prey for the strong.”

”Those who fail at the auction, or those desperadoes who simply covet the treasures in your hands, will swarm like sharks smelling blood to besiege and plunder you. Murdering for goods is a truly common occurrence here.”

”Oh? In that case... Husband, do you mean that if we really encounter those blind fools later, I should be the one to step forward and—”

”—resolve them all?”

Hearing this, in Xiao Yan’s lively, starry eyes, there wasn’t a hint of fear; instead, a raging, eager-to-try fighting spirit instantly ignited.

Yun Xiancheng looked at her eager and cute appearance, nodded with satisfaction, and said warmly: ”Correct, that is exactly what I mean.”

He paused and turned his gaze to Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian, who were also listening with eyes shining brightly, and continued:

”Of course, Yan Ran, and my Xiao Yi Xian, the two of you shall also participate this time. It’s a good opportunity for me to see properly—”

“—just how much your cultivation has improved during this period.”

”That’s great! Don’t worry, Husband, Yan Ran definitely won’t let you down!” ”Mm! I will work hard.”

Beside him, Xiao Yi Xian and Nalan Yanran both nodded excitedly, their beautiful eyes also burning with the same fervent fighting spirit and anticipation as Xiao Yan.

”Hehe, then Yaner and I will be the ones providing support and backup for you and the younger sisters this time?”

Purple Wing, who had been quietly leaning against Yun Xiancheng’s shoulder pretending to sleep, stuck out her lilac tongue and gently blew a puff of hot air onto Yun Xiancheng’s sensitive earlobe, asking softly with a hint of teasing laughter.

Feeling the tingling itch from his ear, Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but smile helplessly.

He reached out and gently rubbed Purple Wing’s smooth, lustrous purple hair, saying tenderly: ”Yes, exactly. I’ll be counting on my Purple Wing.”

He paused and added, ”Alright, everyone, enough small talk. Besides training, we have a more important task in coming to the Black-Corner Region—that is, to find Lü Man and regroup with her.”

As he spoke, Yun Xiancheng was the first to stand up. Seeing this, the Young ladies all followed him and stepped out of the carriage.

With a thought, Yun Xiancheng stored the expensive, luxurious carriage into the storage ring on his hand. Then, the massive white cloud wings behind him suddenly unfurled.

He reached out and easily picked up Nalan Yanran by her waist.

The rest of the Young ladies spread their wings and flew into the sky together, heading straight for the black city. As Yun Xiancheng and his group flew at high speeds with their wings unfurled, absolutely no one dared to look for trouble.

After all... those capable of manifesting wings from Dou Qi were basically Dou Kings. In this place where the strong are respected, the way to survive is to not provoke strong enemies casually. ”Hehe, speaking of which, I really didn’t expect it.”

Purple Wing spread her gorgeous and eerie Purple Wings, flying side by side with Yun Xiancheng in mid-air. ”Among us sisters, in the end, only Yun Yun didn’t come to the Black-Corner Region with you for training.”

”Master, after all, needs to protect the Jia Ma Empire...” Yun Xiancheng smiled faintly upon hearing this, not dwelling on the matter. He changed the subject and continued, ”However, Lü Man’s behavior was quite unexpected.”

Back when Yun Xiancheng’s group left the Jia Ma Empire to head for the Black-Corner Region, Green Savage had already taken Qing Lin back to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion headquarters at top speed.

Because she had successfully broken through to the Dou Ancestor realm with Yun Xiancheng’s secret help, her strength had increased greatly. Consequently, her status and position within the Heavenly Serpent Mansion were much more honorable and prominent than before.

Thus, she took the initiative to apply to the higher-ups to come to this chaotic Black-Corner Region to preside over a branch here.

This decision was naturally so she could meet her ’husband,’ whom she thought of day and night, sooner in this foreign land. The group chatted and laughed as if no one else were around, their figures moving like lightning.

They didn’t deliberately hide their aura or speed, still moving like streaks of light of various colors, flying recklessly over the giant black city below.

Ordinary people on the ground with weaker cultivation couldn’t even see them clearly, only vaguely sensing several powerful auras flashing past overhead like a hurricane.

After a while, the group finally arrived at their destination.

Above the Heavenly Serpent Mansion’s outpost in this giant black city, Yun Xiancheng’s gaze saw from afar...

...in front of the gates of a large manor, two familiar figures in green robes and bamboo hats stood gracefully.

One had a curvaceous and charming figure—it was Green Savage, whom he was looking for. The other was petite and exquisite—it was Qing Lin, held tightly by Green Savage’s hand.

The two seemed to have been waiting for a long time. ”Husband!”

Almost the moment Yun Xiancheng’s group appeared above the outpost, Green Savage below noticed them.

She suddenly raised her head, and when she saw the familiar green figure she had dreamed of, her face immediately filled with uncontrollable surprise and excitement, and she let out a joyful cry.

Yun Xiancheng’s group descended quickly like tired birds returning to their nest. After he steadily placed Xiao Yi Xian and Nalan Yanran on the ground...

Green Savage, who had been waiting for a long time, impatiently threw herself into his arms like a swallow returning to the woods, hugging him tightly. ”Lü Man, I hope you’ve been well.”

Yun Xiancheng gently patted the soft shoulders of the Beauty in his arms, his voice carrying the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

Qing Lin stood gracefully to the side, her small eyes hidden under the bamboo hat also filled with longing for Yun Xiancheng. ”Is the auction here about to start?”

Previously on the family network, Lü Man had mentioned the auction in this city. ”Is your Heavenly Serpent Mansion determined to get the final item of this auction?”

This auction was quite significant for Xiao Yan; not only was there the Yin-Yang Dragon Profound Pill, but also the Three Thousand Lightning Movement, a classic Dou Technique that could be used for a long time. Yun Xiancheng asked.

”It’s rumored to be a pill from Medicine Emperor Han Fenger, but there’s no specific information on what it is,” Lü Man said with a smile.

Hearing this, Medicine Lady suddenly sat up straight, her usual good mood vanishing without a trace, replaced only by anger. Lü Man continued:

”If Husband wants anything, we can manipulate things then, substituting the items and using our Heavenly Serpent Mansion’s assets to get it for you.”

249: The Person Who Killed Yao Chan

In the city’s auction house, Yun Xiancheng sat in the Heavenly Serpent Mansion’s private room, facing Medicine Lady, while the other Young ladies focused on the auction.

”Master, if you feel any unease, feel free to speak. I am listening.”

Yun Xiancheng’s warm and peaceful voice, like a clear spring, gently flowed through Yao Chan’s slightly chaotic mind.

Her eyes, which had been trembling slightly with emotion, gradually calmed down after meeting Yun Xiancheng’s calm, waveless eyes. ”Mhm.”

Yao Chan nodded gently, her small head lowering slightly. After a moment of silence, she said slowly, ”Chenger, it’s time I told you about my past.”

Yun Xiancheng smiled tenderly upon hearing this.

He reached out both hands and carefully held the petite and exquisite Medicine Lady, his movements gentle as if afraid of disturbing her. Then, he lowered his head and planted a light kiss on her small, delicate forehead.

”Oh! You child! I told you not to do such frivolous things at such a solemn moment!”

Medicine Lady’s face turned red from his sudden intimacy. She stomped her feet slightly in his broad, warm palm, speaking in a reproachful yet tender voice.

”Ahem.” She coughed twice, trying to calm her slightly disordered thoughts, closed her eyes again, and her expression became serious and solemn.

”Listen well, Chenger!”

She spoke in a somewhat majestic tone, word by word.

”I! Yao Chan, was once an existence standing at the peak of the Fighting Qi Continent’s Alchemist world! The world honored me as ’Venerable Yao’! I was also the founding ancestor of the Starfall Pavilion in the Central Plains...”

”...and the champion who swept the competition to take first place in the Pill Tower’s Alchemist Competition!”

At this point, she seemed worried that Yun Xiancheng wouldn’t believe her ’glorious’ past and couldn’t help but peek with one eye, steal-glancing at him with a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

Yun Xiancheng nodded. ”Yes, Master, you are indeed the continent’s number one Alchemist. I believe you.” Yao Chan closed her eyes, satisfied, and continued:

”Before I died, I once took a Disciple.”

”Han Fenger, right?” ”Yes, it’s her.”

Yao Chan said sadly, ”She should be considered your senior sister. I raised her as my own daughter, but she betrayed me, colluded with outsiders, and killed me.”

She clenched her fists in dissatisfaction.

”To think I saved her when we first met. What an ungrateful wolf!”

It was no different from the plot Yun Xiancheng knew, except that Yao Chan had taken a female Disciple.

”Master, I understand how you feel,” he said softly, his tone carrying a hint of comfort.

[The tragedy of this master-Disciple falling out lies in the small misunderstandings that were never communicated in time. What finally led to that irreversible abyss was often the unnecessary concealment and suspicion between them.]

That ethereal and gentle female voice rang out in the depths of Yun Xiancheng’s mind at just the right time, softly explaining the possible deep-seated reasons behind this tragedy.

[So, many times, being open and honest is much better than acting mysterious and deliberately concealing things.] Hearing this voice, Yun Xiancheng’s heart didn’t waver. Instead, he asked:

”Don’t use riddles to state the harm of riddles!” (I like it.)

The Beauty’s voice floated in Yun Xiancheng’s mind; he could even hear the laughter contained in her words.

Medicine Lady looked into Yun Xiancheng’s eyes and asked softly, ”Chenger, do you want your senior sister?” ”?”

Yun Xiancheng was stunned and asked, ”Don’t you hate her?”

Medicine Lady lowered her head and whispered, ”I raised her for over ten years after all, viewing her as my own daughter. Even though she betrayed me, I can’t bring myself to blame her too much.”

”So you want her to...” Yun Xiancheng asked.

”If possible, I hope she lives in a secluded courtyard in the future and serves only you,” Medicine Lady finally said.
