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

127: Section 127The Yun Xiancheng before them had a face as smooth as jade, eyebrows like sharp swords, and eyes like bright stars—deep and luminous. His features exuded a sense of clarity and nobility, as if he were born with an otherworldly, celestial aura.

His figure was tall and upright, like a graceful jade tree standing in the wind. Every movement caused his clothes to flutter, as if a transcendent immortal had descended to the mortal realm.

That innate nobility and elegance made one forget worldly trivialities and feel a sense of awe. ”This is entirely my fault, Instructor Ruo Lin. Please feel free to criticize me as you wish.”

Yun Xiancheng’s voice was clear and gentle, like the striking of jade stones, carrying a faint apology yet maintaining his unruffled elegance. He gave a slight nod, his demeanor humble and polite, yet never losing the grace of a refined gentleman.

Ruo Lin rested her cheek in her hand, gazing at Yun Xiancheng’s calm smile. Her intention to scold him instantly dissipated by half; looking at the boy like this, it was impossible to stay angry.

She could clearly sense Yun Xiancheng’s current cultivation level. That subtle pressure made her feel a touch of helplessness: ”Then again, I couldn’t possibly teach someone at your level. If you really had come earlier, I would have worried about not being able to teach you well.”

Currently, she was only barely at the Dou Ling level. Facing Yun Xiancheng, who was in the Dou Wang realm, she truly couldn’t find the drive to act as his teacher. This feeling was quite strange—the student being more powerful than the teacher.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiancheng tilted his head slightly and comforted her warmly, ”A disciple need not be inferior to the master, and a master need not be more virtuous than the disciple. As the saying goes, one may learn the Way earlier or later, and each has their own specialty.”

As his voice fell, he slowly rose, his robes fluttering and carrying a hint of fragrance. His gesture of cupping his hands was extremely elegant: ”Instructor Ruo Lin, I still have much I do not understand. Please, just treat me as an ordinary student.”

These words were spoken with such humble politeness and grace that they felt like a spring breeze, causing a wave of warmth to rise in Ruo Lin’s heart. Ruo Lin also stood up, lightly supporting Yun Xiancheng’s arm; the touch, smooth as jade, made her heart tremble slightly.

She nodded and said, ”You child... then come to my class. But be warned, campus life is different from what you’re used to.” Yun Xiancheng nodded in agreement and then added, ”And my wives as well.”

Hearing this, Ruo Lin’s expression became somewhat unreadable. Her gaze instinctively shifted to Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yan behind him. Wives... this boy said it so naturally.

For some reason, hearing Yun Xiancheng speak so frankly, she actually felt it was only natural. Perhaps it was because the words and actions of Xiao Xun’er and the others over the past three years had subconsciously influenced her.

After all, this youth of seventeen or eighteen had already married at fourteen or fifteen, taking several wives at once, and then marrying again three years later—it seemed quite normal. Or perhaps it was Yun Xiancheng’s own unique temperament that made such words still carry a calm, elegant air, making it feel...

Like everything was perfectly logical.

This boy always possessed a power that made people believe in him.

To Ruo Lin, Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yan were somewhat unfamiliar. She caught sight of Yun Yan’s figure and was momentarily stunned; this child looked so small... She had intended to swat Yun Xiancheng’s hand with her ruler, but then she remembered that Yun Xiancheng had married Xiao Mei at fourteen, and back then, Xiao Mei’s figure was only slightly more developed than Yun Yan’s, so she let it go.

”That won’t be a problem. I can settle it by submitting a school selection application.”

Ruo Lin tried to sense the cultivation levels of Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yan, only to find they were higher than hers, making her perception unclear. The strength of these two girls...

Unlike Yun Xiancheng, who openly displayed his realm to her, these two Young ladies were wary of Ruo Lin and did not reveal their true strength.

That faint, flickering aura made Ruo Lin inwardly shocked. More Dou Wangs.

Ruo Lin felt a bit of a headache realizing her class might be gaining three more Dou Wangs. Now the students really were stronger than the teacher.

She reminded them, ”However, Xiancheng, this is the final year for your cohort in the Outer Academy. The Advancement Exams are at the end of the year. If you don’t pass, you graduate normally; if you rank among the top in the Advancement Exams, you can enter our Inner Academy.”

She added, ”Your strength is certainly up to par, but if you fail some basic general knowledge written exams, your ranking will drop, which might be a bit embarrassing.”

”I see.” Yun Xiancheng nodded, showing a smile slightly brighter than usual. ”I will study hard.”

School, exams, rankings—these words stirred a slight sense of nostalgia in his heart. It had been a long time since he had experienced student life.

Before coming to this world, he had sixteen years of schooling, which was nearly half of his past life. Those days of burying his head in books and those times of sweating over exams felt somewhat heartwarming in retrospect.

When it came to being a student, Yun Xiancheng considered himself quite confident. At the very least, in terms of studying, he had never lost. ”The hotpot is boiling; we can put the food in now.”

Xiao Xun’er, who had been obediently keeping silent and waiting for her husband and teacher—the two ’adults’—to finish their conversation, spoke up at just the right moment to shift the topic to dining. Her voice was soft and pleasant, her timing perfect.

After not seeing her for years, the young lady’s ability to manage a situation had become even more refined, drawing silent admiration.

She gazed at Yun Xiancheng with a faint smile, her eyes filled with endless tenderness and longing. Those beautiful eyes seemed to speak, recounting the pain of lovesickness over the past three years.

The two Xiao sisters, Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei, sat beside Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan’s position was closest to Yun Xiancheng.

Consequently, Xiao Mei accidentally sat right next to Yun Xiancheng. Feeling the gazes from all around—some curious, some envious, some jealous—she couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.

Everyone is looking at me...

Yun Xiancheng gently placed his hand on her shoulder. The sense of security from his warm palm instantly calmed her down.

She leaned slightly against Yun Xiancheng, her heart full of security. ”Husband~ Have this piece of beef~”

Having calmed down, Xiao Mei picked up a slice of beef, cooked it in the pot for a few seconds until it was done, and prepared to feed it to Yun Xiancheng. Her movements were gentle and meticulous, her eyes brimming with deep love.

Yun Xiancheng took the slice of beef from the chopsticks. The sight of his soft lips lightly touching the chopsticks made the hearts of the women present race.

It was tender and delicious. This was likely the meat of some one-star bovine Magic Beast. The texture was similar to beef marinated with starch in his previous life, but different—it was tender while also carrying an extremely rich beef aroma. The ingredients in this world were indeed better than in his previous life.

Yun Xiancheng looked at Xiao Mei with a smile: ”Mei’er, it’s very delicious.”

That gentle smile was like spring rain, instantly melting Xiao Mei’s heart. Seeing the smile bloom on Yun Xiancheng’s peerless face, she couldn’t help but smile radiantly herself.

She then withdrew the chopsticks and lightly held them in her mouth, enjoying the wonderful feeling of an indirect kiss with Yun Xiancheng. The sweet taste spread in her mouth, causing a blush to stain her cheeks.

Xiao Yi Xian sat on Yun Xiancheng’s other side, sitting with Yun Yan, watching Xiao Mei, Xiao Yu, and Xun’er. To the two of them, the Xiao sisters were beings that only existed in the family network.

Because they weren’t well-acquainted, they hadn’t chatted much privately. Xiao Yu was also observing Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yan.

Both girls were like finely carved pieces of jade. To be Xiancheng’s wives, it was only natural they were sisters. Noticing Xiao Yu’s gaze, Xiao Yi Xian looked toward her.

Seeing such a mature, beautiful woman like Xiao Yu, she was slightly stunned. Was this still the physique of a student?

Well... considering she married Yun Xiancheng very early and had long been a virtuous wife, it was perfectly natural for her to have this aura of a beautiful wife in every gesture. Xiao Yi Xian didn’t speak, only nodding slightly in greeting.

Xiao Yu nodded back to her, also saying nothing.

They weren’t that close, and for a moment, they didn’t know what to say.

259 New School Uniform

The Outer Academy of Jia Nan Academy was quite accommodating. Xun’er said she knew the daughter of the Outer Academy’s Vice Dean, and with just a few words, she got Xiao Yi Xian and the Little Lioness into the academy.

And with the forms Ruo Lin filled out, the enrollment issue was easily resolved.

Putting on the pale purple uniform of Jia Nan Academy, Yun Xiancheng felt a sense of youth. That long-lost student aura flowed through him, as if time had wound back to his school days before the transmigration.

But more than that, it was the innate, elegant, and ethereal quality he possessed in this life.

The two temperaments blended perfectly; the vigor of youth and the transcendent celestial aura complemented each other.

Combined with his peerless face, he became a landscape unto himself wherever he went. Xiao Xun’er stood behind him, her slender jade hands styling his hair.

The young lady’s movements were gentle and meticulous, every strand of hair carefully arranged. She tied Yun Xiancheng’s long hair into a bun and then placed a headpiece on him.

By now, Yun Xiancheng was already a head taller than her. Xun’er could only stand on her tiptoes, leaning against his shoulder. She greedily inhaled the unique body fragrance on him, that clear and elegant scent leaving her intoxicated.

”Husband~ what do you think of Instructor Ruo Lin?” Xiao Xun’er’s voice held a hint of probing, a faint, almost imperceptible nervousness flashing in her eyes. ”Hmm, she is as serene as a flower reflected in water; naturally, she is a most beautiful soul,” Yun Xiancheng replied honestly, his voice carrying a sense of appreciation.

Hearing this evaluation, Xiao Xun’er’s heart tightened slightly, but she soon felt relieved. She understood her husband; appreciating beautiful things was part of his nature.

Yun Xiancheng turned back and gently pulled Xun’er into his embrace. The young lady’s slender waist was so supple it felt as if she had no bones; she accepted Yun Xiancheng’s embrace without any resistance.

Letting out a soft ”Mhm,” she leaned into Yun Xiancheng’s chest. She tilted her head slightly and planted a gentle kiss on his lips. The warm sensation made both of them tremble.

This kiss was heart-melting, as gentle as a spring breeze. After a while, Xun’er said softly, ”Then Husband must not miss out on such a beauty. Over these three years, Instructor has also taken great care of us.”

Her words held deep meaning, being both a gesture of gratitude toward Ruo Lin and a hint for Yun Xiancheng. Instructor Ruo Lin was indeed a good person, and... she was very good to her husband as well; even though he had skipped school for so long, she had let it slide.

”Mhm, I will,” Yun Xiancheng promised, gently stroking Xun’er’s hair.

After changing clothes and stepping out of the dressing room, the Young ladies were waiting outside. Seeing Yun Xiancheng in a new outfit, their eyes lit up, their admiration plain to see.

”Husband looks good in everything!” Xiao Mei was the first to speak, her voice full of praise. She lunged forward and hugged Yun Xiancheng.

Yun Xiancheng smiled and stroked her hair.

”Indeed, this school uniform actually has a different charm on Husband.” Xiao Yu walked to his side, holding his hand with both of hers, her eyes also filled with affection.

Instructor Ruo Lin remained silent for a moment, carefully observing Yun Xiancheng. That transcendent temperament paired with the academy uniform created a wonderful chemical reaction.

She spoke slowly, ”In all my time teaching here, you are the first person who can wear the school uniform with such a unique charm.”

Yun Xiancheng smiled warmly. ”Our school’s uniform is indeed very good-looking. Besides, a green mountain needs a forest to complement it...” His words were humble and polite, yet not lacking in confidence.

”Next is the matter of your accommodation...” Ruo Lin said after some thought, a trace of hesitation flashing in her eyes. Yun Xiancheng asked directly, ”Can I sleep with my wives?”

As soon as he said this, the Young ladies’ eyes lit up, and they all cast expectant looks. How wonderful it would be to live with their husband.

”No!” Ruo Lin immediately shook her head. ”That’s the girls’ dormitory. I don’t want those adolescent girls to have a collective breakdown seeing you.” Her tone carried a mix of helplessness and worry.

With this boy’s looks and temperament, if he moved into the girls’ dormitory, who knew how much of a commotion it would cause. ”Mhm, I understand,” Yun Xiancheng nodded in agreement.

Hearing this answer, the Young ladies’ eyes dimmed instantly, their disappointment palpable. Yun Xiancheng asked again, ”Does the school have private courtyards for rent? I can pay.”

Upon hearing this, the Young ladies’ eyes lit up again, as if seeing a glimmer of hope.

Feeling the Young ladies’ eyes switching on and off like lightbulbs, Ruo Lin was almost amused to the point of exasperation. These girls’ intentions were far too obvious.

She nodded. ”How about this: there’s a vacant property right next to my residence. Just give me a small deposit, and you can move in.” ”Thank you, Instructor,” Yun Xiancheng bowed with his hands clasped, his manner respectful and polite.

”Then you must study hard and take first place in this exam for me,” Ruo Lin said with a hint of expectation as she looked into his ink-black eyes. Yun Xiancheng nodded. ”Since it is Instructor’s request, I will do my best to fulfill it.”

He was a Dou Wang; his strength went without saying. Next, he just needed to gain a simple understanding of some general education courses. Sixteen years of academic experience from his previous life, plus the talent of this life, would not go to waste.

”Husband is so amazing!” Xiao Mei looked at Yun Xiancheng. ”No matter what it is, Husband can do it well.” ”Yes, Husband is the best!” Xiao Yu chimed in, her eyes full of adoration.

Xiao Yi Xian had also changed into her light purple school uniform by then. She had even changed her hair to white and came bouncing into Yun Xiancheng’s arms.

”Husband, do I look good?” ”Yes, you look good.”

Yun Xiancheng held her, stroking her white hair and nuzzling her forehead.

After their moment of tenderness, Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan, and the Little Lion finally walked out of the room, led by Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei.

Five delicate light purple flowers came into view, looking at Yun Xiancheng with various expressions. Cold sweat broke out on the back of Ruo Lin’s neck.

She couldn’t believe what these people might get up to during school; she had better take precautions early.

”Oh, right,” Ruo Lin coughed. ”There are some rules in the Outer Academy that I need to tell you.” ”Please advise us, Instructor,” Yun Xiancheng said respectfully.

”First, overly intimate behavior is not allowed during class hours. Most students in the Outer Academy are still children; you can’t set a bad example.” Ruo Lin looked at the Young ladies present. ”Even though you are married, you still need to be mindful of your influence in the academy.”

”We understand, Instructor,” Xiao Xun’er replied on behalf of everyone.

”Second, the academy has a curfew. You are not allowed to wander outside after ten at night,” Ruo Lin continued. ”Also, no loud noises in the dormitory area.”

”Those are no problem,” Yun Xiancheng nodded in understanding. ”That’s good then,” Ruo Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

260 Red Sleeves Adding Fragrance to Night Reading

That night, in the courtyard next to Instructor Ruo Lin’s, Yun Xiancheng lit a bronze oil lamp. Holding a scroll in his hand, he was silently reading.

The courtyard was a typical single-entry siheyuan, with blue bricks, gray tiles, and upturned eaves. Currently, only he lived there. The main courtyard glowed with a faint orange light, while other areas were dark and silent, appearing somewhat empty and cold.

Outside the window, the cicadas chirped incessantly, and everything seemed peaceful and serene. The night breeze brushed through the parasol tree leaves in the courtyard, making a rustling sound that intertwined with the cicada calls into a symphony unique to summer nights.

Yun Xiancheng read his book, listening to the cicadas and smelling the faint fragrance burning in the incense burner. That fragrance had two distinct scents: one as crisp as snowflakes, the other as elegant as phoenix flowers.

This snowflake-scented incense was a simplified version of the one Snow Charm had refined last time. Before leaving, she had sent many, saying that if he missed her, he should light one to smell her body fragrance. At that time, Snow Charm had shown a rare shy expression, her voice as quiet as a mosquito.

The phoenix flower-scented incense was a gift from Lin Fei. When she gave it to him, she happened to run into Snow Charm, who was about to leave. The two of them were jealous for a while and were on the verge of fighting, so Yun Xiancheng had carried them both to bed, one on each side.

The faint fragrance soothed Yun Xiancheng’s mind, allowing him to read peacefully. These two scents were surprisingly harmonious when mixed together.

He had fallen behind on more than two years of coursework and needed to catch up in a very short time. Although passing the exam wouldn’t be difficult given his cultivation level, he still needed to master the basic theoretical knowledge.

Though it wasn’t hard anyway.

Of course, even if Yun Xiancheng wanted to spend the night reading alone, the Young ladies would never allow it.

Sure enough, Xiao Yan poked her head out from outside the window, her bright eyes staring straight at Yun Xiancheng. ”Husband, I want to sleep with you.”

Her voice carried a hint of coquettishness, her eyes full of her attachment to Yun Xiancheng. Yun Xiancheng looked at the girl outside the window and nodded gently. ”Come in, dear.”

Xiao Yan climbed through the window with satisfaction, her movements as light as a swallow. She went to the room where Yun Xiancheng slept, intending to take away the original single bed and take out...

a Super Heavenly Bed that filled the entire room.

Since everyone was going to sleep together, the bed naturally had to be big enough. Xiao Yan thought to herself.

Upon opening the door, she saw the Little Lion Yun Yan already sleeping on Yun Xiancheng’s bed, curled up in a ball, as cute as a coiled kitten. The girl’s sleeping face was peaceful and serene, with a faint smile on her lips.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan’s expression didn’t change. As expected, everyone wanted to be with Husband.

Just as she was nimbly swapping the beds, setting up the new one before Yun Yan could fall off, she saw Nalan Yanran hiding under the bed frame. It was obvious she wanted to ”attack” Yun Xiancheng in the middle of the night.

Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran locked eyes and were stunned for a moment. Thud!

The Little Lion Yun Yan fell to the floor and rubbed her head in distress. ”Why is Big Sister bullying Yun Yan?” Her voice carried a hint of grievance, her large eyes filling with tears, looking pitiable.
