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

131: Section 131Xun’er was such a clever and perceptive girl; she immediately sensed the shift in Instructor Ruo Lin’s attention.

She noticed that in Ruo Lin’s eyes, only her husband seemed to remain, completely ignoring ”auditors” like them. Her lively eyes darted around mischievously, and she instantly threw the instructor’s earlier warning about ”minding her manners” to the back of her mind.

”Hehe, husband.” She let out a very soft chuckle that only she could hear.

In the next moment, like an elegant and agile cat, she noiselessly moved from her seat and leaned in behind Yun Xiancheng. She reached out her two lotus-root-like white arms and gently, tenderly hugged Yun Xiancheng’s waist from behind.

Then, she buried her exquisite and flawless little face intimately against Yun Xiancheng’s neck, closed her eyes, and took a deep, greedy breath of the fresh, crisp scent that belonged only to him and that she missed so dearly.

”...Husband’s scent... smells so good.”

Seeing this, how could Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei sit still? They had already learned the relevant content; their reason for staying here today was naturally not to genuinely listen to the lecture.

From the beginning, they had only one goal—to spend as much time as possible with their Lord Guan.

Seeing that Xiao Xun’er had already taken the lead, they also immediately acted in tacit understanding. One on the left and one on the right, they also leaned in, pressing closely against Yun Xiancheng, using their soft bodies to constantly rub against him on both sides.

”Husband, Younger Sister Xuner is too cunning; how can she monopolize you all by herself?” Xiao Mei whispered in his ear coquettishly. ”That’s right, husband,” Xiao Yu’s mature and charming voice carried a hint of lazy laughter, ”we want a hug too.”

Ruo Lin, who was on the podium, was originally immersed in the warm atmosphere of teaching Yun Xiancheng alone. Suddenly seeing this scene of beauties surrounding him and competing for attention, the black lines that had just faded from her forehead instantly reappeared, and there were more and darker than before.

These three girls! They really... they’re becoming more and more lawless!

She gritted her teeth, finally reaching the end of her patience. She stopped lecturing and walked quickly behind Yun Xiancheng. With a ”swish,” she produced a Ruler symbolizing her authority as an instructor from her Storage Ring, and then, without mercy, she landed three consecutive ”Smack! Smack! Smack!” on the restless little hands of The Three Xiao Sisters.

”Ouch!” ”It hurts!”

”Teacher, what are you doing?”

Three cries of pain rang out simultaneously, and the Young ladies all showed expressions of pain, retracting their hands aggrievedly.

Then, they looked at Ruo Lin with watery, pitiful eyes, as if accusing her of ”brutality.”

Ruo Lin stood beside Yun Xiancheng and glared down at them. She also glanced at Nalan Yanran, who had already shrunk her head back in fear. Only then did she clear her throat, trying to maintain her dignity as a teacher, and coughed lightly:

”All of you, behave! Don’t disturb Chenger during class!”

Seeing this, Yun Xiancheng only gave a faint smile. He turned his head and looked at the three small faces behind him, which were filled with grievance.

When the three sisters met his gentle gaze, their pitiful expressions became even more sincere, as if they were three innocent kittens scolded by their master, making one feel an instinctive sense of pity.

Yun Xiancheng shook his head with a chuckle. He stood up slightly and used his body to inconspicuously rub against their shoulders and cheeks, as if silently comforting them.

The Young ladies immediately felt this tenderness that was exclusively theirs. The grievance on their faces vanished instantly, replaced by satisfied and sweet smiles.

Ruo Lin saw all of this and felt another wave of helplessness. She glanced at Yun Yan, who was sleeping soundly in Yun Xiancheng’s arms, with even a bit of crystal-clear saliva trickling from the corner of her mouth, and pondered for a moment.

This little girl... she’s already a Dou King at such a young age. This talent is probably not much different from that monster in the Inner Academy.

Such a genius has her own unique way of growing; ordinary discipline probably wouldn’t be of much use to her... She finally decided to give up. Forget it, I’ll just leave her be.

As an excellent instructor, Ruo Lin still had a good eye for people. She knew when to intervene and when not to. Facing this group of ”students” whose strength, background, and temperament far exceeded those of ordinary people, forcing pressure would only be counterproductive.

”Teacher, can we continue with the lesson?”

Just as her thoughts were racing, Yun Xiancheng’s gentle and elegant voice rang out again. With a smile like a spring breeze on his face, he easily pulled Ruo Lin back into the classroom atmosphere.

Looking at him, the slight frustration in Ruo Lin’s heart also dissipated. She returned a gentle smile: ”Mm, alright, let’s continue.”

She walked back to the center of the podium and resumed her lecture. With the previous groundwork, the progress of the subsequent lesson was astonishingly fast.

Ruo Lin only went over the key knowledge points broadly. She knew that with Yun Xiancheng’s comprehension, he would definitely understand these contents as soon as he heard them and could even infer other things from them.

As for the other Young ladies... well, they weren’t important. As long as they didn’t disturb Xiancheng’s listening, they could do whatever they wanted.

Thus, in the time that followed, a strange and harmonious scene appeared: the instructor on the podium put all her heart and soul into the only male student who was listening seriously, lecturing with great excitement and high spirits; and that male student also always responded with the most focused gaze and the most serious listening.

As for their surroundings, it was a ”field of fallen bodies.” The Young ladies were either sleeping or lying down, or leaning against Yun Xiancheng, enjoying this rare leisure time on their own.

The instructor and her ”only” student thus ”had class” happily together, completely immersed in their world of two. Until the sun set in the west, and the golden afterglow filled the entire platform, dyeing everything with a layer of warm color.

”Ugh...” Nalan Yanran suddenly lifted her head and blinked her eyes somewhat confusedly. She had actually... fallen asleep during class! And she had slept so sound-

-ly that she didn’t even remember when she had fallen asleep.

She rubbed her eyes and looked around, finding that most of the Young ladies around her also looked exhausted and bleary-eyed.

It seemed that for people like them, who were used to fighting and cultivation, this basic theory class indeed had some kind of powerful and irresistible hypnotic spell that made one feel drowsy very quickly.

In the entire field, the only ones who could still remain awake and spirited were actually only Ruo Lin on the podium and Yun Xiancheng, who had been sitting as straight as a pine tree from beginning to end.

And... these two.

Nalan Yanran looked at them and felt that the atmosphere was somewhat off. They were looking at each other affectionately—at least it seemed that way to her. Especially Instructor Ruo Lin; the way she looked at Yun Xiancheng was so gentle it seemed as if water could drip from her eyes, and her beautiful eyes were practically dripping with affection.

”Ahem!” Ruo Lin also seemed to have noticed the passage of time and the ”tragic state” of the students below, and a blush couldn’t help but creep onto her face. *Oh no... today I seem to have been too focused on Xiancheng alone, to the point of completely ignoring everyone else... I didn’t even manage the classroom discipline. If this were seen by-*

*-other instructors, they would definitely laugh at me...*

She announced somewhat embarrassedly, ”It, it’s getting late. Today’s class will end here.” ”Thank you for your hard work, Teacher.”

Yun Xiancheng stood up and stretched his body. He walked to Ruo Lin’s side and naturally reached out to help her pack up the textbooks and lecture notes on the podium, his movements skillful and considerate.

As he packed, he asked in a natural tone, as if chatting, ”Where does Teacher usually go to eat?”

”Huh?” Ruo Lin was stunned by his sudden question and subconsciously answered, ”Naturally, I just go to the Instructors’ Cafeteria to make do. Some-

-times when I’m busy with cultivation, I just take a few Bigu Pills and get by.”

Although practitioners don’t have a great demand for food, most still maintain the habit of eating normally. After all, gourmet food is also a form of enjoyment and relaxation.

Sometimes, after a hard day of cultivation, enjoying a delicious dinner and relaxing the tense nerves can actually make the cultivation speed a bit better than constant bitter cultivation.

”In that case,” Yun Xiancheng stopped his movements and turned to look at her, a sincere smile in his eyes, ”if Teacher doesn’t mind, why not come to our house to eat together in the future? My wives usually cook at home, and their skills are quite good. Adding another set of chopsticks is absolutely not a problem.”

He extended an invitation to Ruo Lin in a gentle tone.

Ruo Lin was completely stunned. She stared blankly at Yun Xiancheng, at his eyes that seemed to contain a sea of stars, her mind a complete blank.

”I... go to your house to eat?”

”Mm.” Yun Xiancheng nodded affirmatively. ”Teacher has taken the trouble to teach us; as students, we should also show some appreciation. It’s just a simple meal, a small token of gratitude. I hope Teacher won’t refuse.”

Eating a meal personally prepared by a student in the student’s residence...

This was an incredibly novel and unique experience that Ruo Lin had never encountered in her previous life.

She imagined the scene, and an inexplicable expectation that she couldn’t quite explain grew in her heart. She looked at Yun Xiancheng’s face, which looked even more beautiful in the sunset, and as if possessed, she nodded gently, ”Yes, that’s fine.”

Receiving an affirmative answer, the smile on Yun Xiancheng’s face became even warmer.

Ruo Lin looked at him and finally relaxed completely. She looked at Yun Xiancheng seriously and solemnly, her voice soft: ”Then... it will be hard on you all.”

The evening breeze brought a coolness mixed with the fragrance of grass and soil.

The group slowly walked down the steps of the Luguan Classroom, long shadows trailing behind them. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. ”Teacher, what should we cook tonight? Is there anything special you’d like to eat?”

Nalan Yanran naturally took one of Yun Xiancheng’s hands, while her other hand swung playfully in front of her. She looked up with her exquisite face and curiously asked Instructor Ruo Lin, who was walking ahead of them.

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a golden oriole in a valley, dispelling the last bits of weariness from the sunset.

Instructor Ruo Lin’s footsteps paused slightly. She turned half her body and looked at the group of young, beautiful boys and girls behind her, especially Yun Xiancheng, who was surrounded by the girls. A warm current called ”warmth” that she had never felt before surged in her heart.

She smiled somewhat shyly, her smile looking exceptionally soft in the sunset.

”Me... I don’t have any dietary restrictions. I’ll eat whatever you make.” Ruo Lin thought for a moment and added seriously, ”Really, as long as it’s something you made yourself, anything is fine.”

Ruo Lin had never tasted a meal specifically made for her by someone else. Even in her childhood, the best food she had was a small meal prepared separately for her by her family’s eldest aunt. After becoming an adult, she hadn’t eaten many exquisite dishes.

”It’s getting late now, I’m afraid there won’t be enough time to prepare a big dish from scratch...” Yanran’s dark eyes rolled around, and then she seemed to think of a good idea, her eyes lighting up. ”Right! Teacher, why don’t we try making Boiled Beef? The weather has been getting colder lately. Eating something spicy will both whet the appetite and warm the body. It couldn’t be more suitable!”

As she spoke, she seemed to already smell the spicy and fresh aroma, and couldn’t help but swallow her saliva softly.

”Boiled Beef! Yay! I love spicy food the most!” Hearing this, Xiao Mei immediately poked her cute little head out from the other side of Yun Xiancheng, her face full of an excited smile. ”Sister Yanran, I’ll help you! Washing vegetables, cutting meat, and being an assistant—I’m the best at that!”

Nalan Yanran smiled and nodded, giving her an appreciative look. ”Alright, it’s a deal then. Mei’er, you’re quick and nimble. With your help...”

”...we’ll definitely be able to start eating soon.”

Back in Wutan City, Xiao Mei often followed behind Yanran, acting as her little kitchen maid. The two of them would prepare meals for Yun Xiancheng together, and they had long since developed a perfect rapport.

”Husband, how can just one spicy dish be enough? What if the teacher isn’t used to eating spicy food?” Xiao Yu’s mature and charming voice sounded in Yun Xiancheng’s ear.

She had approached Yun Xiancheng at some point, her soft body lightly brushing against his arm. Her warm breath fanned his ear, carrying a hint of subtle flirtation.

”How about Yu’er prepares another dish of Stewed Cabbage for everyone? The cabbage is stewed until it’s very soft, melting in the mouth, with a delicious broth. It’s light and refreshing, perfect for balancing the spiciness of the Boiled Beef and also good for the stomach. What do you think, husband?”

She was always like this, thoughtful and considerate, making people feel as if they were basking in a spring breeze.

”Sister Yu’er is so thoughtful!” Nalan Yanran praised sincerely. ”Then it’s settled! One meat and one vegetable, one spicy and one light—perfect!”

Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan looked at the Young ladies discussing heatedly, feeling a bit envious but completely unable to join in. Xiao Yan rubbed her nose awkwardly and muttered softly, ”I don’t know the first thing about cooking.”

Really, if I had known, I should have learned a few tricks. Now I can’t even help make a meal for my husband. I feel so useless...

Xiao Yi Xian smiled gently and said softly, ”When I lived with husband, Linger was the one preparing the meals. I... I know much more about medicinal herbs than ingredients. I’m afraid that if I’m not careful, I’ll turn a pot of delicious food into a pot of deadly poison.”

There was a bit of self-deprecation in her words, but the look she gave Yun Xiancheng was full of attachment and tenderness.

Just then, a furry little head popped out from Yun Xiancheng’s embrace. ”Food! Yun Yan wants food! Husband, Yun Yan is hungry!”

The Little Lioness Yun Yan, who had slept through the entire class, was now exceptionally energetic.

She was like a clingy koala, using all four limbs to huddle tightly in Yun Xiancheng’s embrace. She looked up with her cute and exquisite little face, enjoying her husband’s warm and strong embrace, and kept acting spoiled.

Ruo Lin looked at the warm and harmonious family scene before her, the indulgent and doting smile on Yun Xiancheng’s face, and the undisguised...

...admiration and happiness in the Young ladies’ eyes. She couldn’t help but show a smile of relief mixed with a bit of envy.

Seeing a happy scene, people will unconsciously feel happy as well. However, life is always more sudden than drama.

A loud shout full of vigor suddenly broke this warmth and harmony.

A young man dressed in luxurious white clothes, with an indelible gloom and arrogance between his brows, walked aggressively toward Yun Xiancheng, flanked by two followers.

With one glance, he saw Yun Xiancheng in the crowd, who stood out like a crane among chickens, handsome beyond mortal measure. The flames of jealousy instantly erupted from his heart, burning his eyes red.

He opened his mouth, a provocative ”Where did this pretty boy come from?” already at his throat, intending to use it as a start to humiliate this man who dared to touch the goddess in his heart.

But just as he was about to speak, from the corner of his eye, he saw Instructor Ruo Lin standing next to Yun Xiancheng. Ruo Lin? Hmph, just an ordinary instructor from the Outer Academy.

Bai Shan sneered in his heart. If it were before, he might have had some respect for an instructor.

But things were different now. He was no longer the fledgling Dou Practitioner he once was, but a genuine Great Dou Master! His talent and strength had long surpassed most of the instructors in the Outer Academy.

Moreover, he came prepared this time, using the academy’s rules and regulations as his weapon. What did he have to fear?

So, he swallowed the insults that were at his lips and replaced them with an even more sarcastic expression, thinking he occupied the moral high ground. He raised his voice, intentionally letting everyone around hear clearly:

”Oh, isn’t this Instructor Ruo Lin? What a coincidence.” He said with a fake smile. ”However, I’m quite curious, Instructor Ruo Lin, for you to...”},{

...be so intimate and touchy with your male student in broad daylight, aren’t you worried... that if this gets out, it will seriously affect your reputation as an exemplary teacher?

Bai Shan put on an all-or-nothing posture, his arrogant stance seemingly completely forgetting the painful memory of having his heart pierced by a combined sword strike from Xiao Mei and Xiao Yu and lying in the infirmary for half a month.

...

”Bai Shan! What nonsense are you talking about!” Ruo Lin’s face instantly darkened. She furrowed her beautiful brows and looked at the student before her, who could once be considered a star pupil. Her eyes were full of disappointment and anger. ”Apologize to your classmate immediately! Otherwise, don’t blame me for using my status as an instructor to punish you with confinement!”

She was about to step forward to reprimand this ignorant and arrogant fool, but she felt a figure appear in front of her—not particularly burly, yet seemingly capable of propping up the entire sky.

Yun Xiancheng took a step forward, precisely shielding Ruo Lin and all the Young ladies behind him.

Bai Shan was incredibly arrogant now. He ignored Ruo Lin’s anger, his gaze like a knife, staring fixedly at Yun Xiancheng. Yun Xiancheng was also looking at him, his eyes as calm as a thousand-year-old well, without the slightest ripple.

However, at the moment Bai Shan’s gaze fully met Yun Xiancheng’s face, he felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning from the nine heavens, freezing in place.

His mind went blank. All his anger, all his jealousy, and all his schemes were instantly crushed by an indescribable surge of shock.

What a... perfect person.

It was a face that could not be described with any words.

Handsome, noble, indifferent, and ethereal. Even piling up all the beautiful words seemed unable to describe even a fraction of his grace.

Those eyes seemed to contain the stars and the universe; just one look was enough to make one feel inferior, unable to even muster the courage to look directly at him.
