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

152: Section 152Yun Xiancheng looked at her confused little face, which was clearly written with the words ”This doesn’t make sense,” and smiled gently once again.

He reached out and gently, dotingly rubbed her little head, which also felt excellent to the touch. ”Hehe, that’s not the case, Zi Yan.”

”In this home, there is no such thing as a boss, nor is there any such thing as a subordinate. I, along with them, and all the Young ladies, are all the same; we are all equal.”

”The same??”

Although Zi Yan had not received much education, she had always believed that strength was supreme, and a trace of confusion appeared on her face.

Meanwhile, the Little Lion on the side keenly seized this once-in-a-lifetime, perfect opportunity to strike at a ”competitor.”

She immediately made a face full of mockery at Zi Yan, and then, in a tone full of superiority, laughed loudly:

”Hmph! You don’t even understand such a simple principle! You silly barbarian who ran out from the mountains and has never seen the world!” ”You...!”

Hearing this, little Zi Yan’s beautiful, large purple eyes instantly widened!

She was just about to retort, but when she saw that handsome big brother still smiling gently at her, the anger that was about to erupt was miraculously suppressed by an invisible force. She looked at the Little Lion, who was full of hostility toward her, and in the end, only snorted disdainfully.

Then, she proudly crossed her arms, turned her little face to the side, and said in a feigned naive tone:

”Fine... this young lady is in a good mood today, so I won’t lower myself to the level of an ignorant Little Lion like you. Then... since you all say the rooms are the same, this young lady will go and see for herself when the time comes before making a decision.”

Just as the atmosphere in the room became somewhat subtle and interesting because of the ”clash” between the two little ones, a crisp, pleasant, and girlish voice full of surprise and curiosity suddenly drifted in from outside the courtyard.

”? Did I see that right? Little sister Yun Yan, when did she get another cute little sister who looks exactly like her?”

Nalan Yanran was seen walking gracefully into the elegant courtyard from the direction of the main hall, carrying a platter of exquisite fruit that had just been sliced and was emitting an alluring fragrance.

She looked at the back of Zi Yan, who was sitting in the pavilion with her back to her, also having purple hair and purple eyes, and a petite, exquisite figure. A look of immense curiosity appeared on her face as she asked,

”I am not her little sister!!!”

Once these words were spoken, it was equivalent to instantly igniting the powder keg that had already been primed in little Zi Yan’s heart!

This petite future Dragon Emperor with a fiery temper suddenly stood up from the stone bench, turned around, pointed at the oblivious Nalan Yanran, and screamed loudly in a tone full of anger and protest!

”How could this young lady possibly be the little sister of a meowing lion spirit?! It is simply the greatest insult to this young lady!”

Seeing this, Yun Xiancheng thought to himself, ”Oh no.” Just before that little ancestor was about to completely explode and cause some irreparable damage, he flashed over and tightly, gently pulled her petite, explosive body into his arms.

313 Little Dragon, forgive your offense.

”Mmph! You... let me go! Let me go! You bad guy! Hurry up and let this young lady go!”

Feeling herself completely enveloped by that familiar embrace, full of warmth and a sense of security, little Zi Yan let out a few indistinct whimpers of unwillingness and embarrassment.

Like an angry kitten caught by the scruff of its neck, she struggled symbolically and slightly for a few moments before quickly ceasing to resist. ”Hmm... forget it, for the sake of him holding me so comfortably, this young lady will temporarily forgive that woman’s rudeness.”

On the other side, Nalan Yanran was such a clever and perceptive girl. Seeing the ”little one” in her husband’s arms—who was still struggling but had a look of obvious shyness and secret delight on her face—and associating it with her husband’s usual philanthropic nature of ”picking people up wherever he goes,” she immediately understood what was going on. It turned out that her husband had once again brought back a new, cute little sister for their big family from who knows what corner.

Thinking of this, her pretty face, which had previously held a hint of curiosity, instantly changed into another expression—one full of warm spring breezes, incredibly gentle, and as kind as a big sister next door.

She walked slowly to Yun Xiancheng’s side, carrying the fruit platter in her hand. She first dotingly glanced at Zi Yan, who was still squirming restlessly in his arms, and then, in a tone full of kindness and welcome, said softly to her:

”Oh my, so it’s a new little sister. Sister was truly rude just now; please don’t take offense, little sister.”

”To have such a cute guest like you come to rest in our humble abode is truly... a great honor for us sisters.”

Nalan Yanran’s words were so watertight and made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

Afterward, she began, quite naturally, to pull the still somewhat bewildered Zi Yan along, enthusiastically and in detail introducing the ”ingenious” and ”wise” room layout of their ”new home.”

It turned out that when they had first moved into this manor, the room layout here was also that kind of traditional, square, single-person room full of a sense of distance.

However, this old design, which was full of ”inequality,” soon aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Young ladies, especially Xiao Yan, who was a ”woman of action.”

Because, with this layout, it was inevitable that some rooms would be located very far away from the master bedroom where their husband lived. For these Young ladies, who wished they could stick to their husband’s side twenty-four hours a day, this was absolutely intolerable.

And so, taking advantage of the precious time when Yun Xiancheng and the Little Lion went out together to play and search for Zi Yan, the Young ladies pooled their wisdom and efforts to carry out a drastic, thorough renovation of the entire manor’s internal structure, one filled with ”love”!

And the current layout takes Yun Xiancheng’s spacious, huge master bedroom, located at the very center of the manor, as the absolute core. Then, all the Young ladies’ rooms, like stars surrounding the moon, form a perfect circle, tightly and intimately surrounding his room!

This circular arrangement, full of ”equality” and ”harmony,” ensures to the greatest extent that everyone can be at an equal distance from Yun Xiancheng’s room. As for that ”favoritism” or ”distinction between near and far,” those are just dregs of family tradition from who knows where; we don’t do that here.

”So... that’s how it is.”

When Zi Yan had thoroughly understood all these contents, which were full of ”profound” implications, her little head, filled with magical beast thinking, immediately felt that this layout was... truly too reasonable!

This was more in line with the kind of orderly family relationship that a powerful and well-ordered ”tribe” should have, according to her simple impression filled with concepts of hierarchy!

”Yes! The boss should live in the very center! And then, we... we, um, should live around him, protecting him! This is very reasonable! Extremely reasonable!”

Therefore, she quickly understood and, with immense approval, accepted this set of ”unspoken rules” regarding choosing rooms that the ”seniors” had carefully selected and established.

Of course, out of consideration for everyone’s privacy, and... in order to make it more convenient and stealthy for her husband to conduct some ”night patrols” filled with ”love,” the Young ladies all had their own separate rooms, and there was no situation where several people lived together.

As the other Young ladies, one after another, finished dealing with the trivial matters of organizing their respective rooms, they returned one by one, in twos and threes, to the elegant pavilion that served as a common activity area. Then

”Eh? Mei’er, look! When did little sister Yun Yan get another cute little sister? She looks exactly like she was carved from the same mold!”

[part:deepseek-chat]

Yes, yes! Sister Yu, look! Both of them have purple hair! So cute!

Zi Yan’s little face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, listening with extreme frustration as several new, pretty big sisters uttered words similar enough to make her explode on the spot.

In that moment, she felt she was facing an unprecedented, immense provocation and insult!

Several times, she wanted to break free from that warm embrace, then seriously and earnestly argue with these clueless sisters.

But in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to make a scene.

She just silently buried her little head even deeper, more dependently, into Yun Xiancheng’s embrace, which was filled with a sense of security. Then, she closed her eyes, savoring the unique scent on him—a mix of various floral fragrances that intoxicated her completely.

And also... the scorching, resentful gaze from the Little Lion beside her, who was also held in her husband’s arms, a gaze so hot it almost seemed to ignite her on the spot.

Being misunderstood by so many people, though a bit annoying...

But being held by big brother like this all the time... isn’t that pretty good too?

314 Dragon and Lion Rivalry

”Are you really going to that so-called Blazing Heaven Qi Tower?

Inside the pavilion, the evening breeze carried the refreshing, unique fragrance of hundreds of herbs from the distant medicine garden.

Little Zi Yan, who had just chosen her favorite room with the largest floor-to-ceiling window and ran back satisfied to claim credit,

upon hearing Yun Xiancheng and the others discussing their upcoming plans, immediately showed obvious, undisguised confusion and puzzlement in her dazzling amethyst-like eyes.

She plopped down on the stone stool next to Yun Xiancheng, her fair, jade-like, petite bare feet dangling idly in the air, and asked in a curious, milky tone tinged with disdain:

”What’s so great about that crummy place? It’s dark, stuffy, and hot. That weird, inexplicable fire inside is restless all day, throwing tantrums all the time—it’s dangerous!

Once when I was starving, I sneaked in and took a couple bites of the energy crystals there, and I almost got my skin burned off by the fire poison! It wasn’t tasty at all!”

As she spoke, this fiery-tempered little Dragon Emperor, as if reminded of something unpleasant again, instantly filled her delicate, doll-like face with grievance and indignation.

She moved in front of Yun Xiancheng, stretched out her two fair, tender little hands, tightly grasped his warm and strong big hand, and said as if tattling:

”And! And the students in the Inner Academy are all so boring! All they know is fighting, killing, and competing—no fun at all!

None! Just because I’m a bit stronger, they secretly give me nicknames behind my back, calling me things like ’Brute Force Princess’! It’s just too much!”

While saying this, she vigorously shook Yun Xiancheng’s arm, lifted her adorable little face, which clearly read ’comfort me now,’ and looked at him with big, watery eyes full of expectation and a hint of pleading, asking:

”Brother Xiancheng, tell me the truth! Do I really look like a very fierce, very bad villain?”

Yun Xiancheng looked at her innocent, aggrieved, and adorable appearance, feeling his affection for her almost overflowing.

He gently shook his head, then reached out with his other free hand and tenderly, dotingly ruffled the fluffy, delightful purple hair on her little head, softly praising:

”How could that be? In Brother Xiancheng’s eyes, our Zi Yan is clearly the most well-behaved and cutest child in the whole world.” ”Hehe... really?”

Little Zi Yan, hearing his unreserved praise, instantly brightened up, her purple eyes, which had held a trace of aggrieved tears, now shining like two dazzling, lit-up stars!

Unable to contain her inner joy any longer, a brilliantly sweet smile, filled with happiness and satisfaction, bloomed on her face. ”Right! Right! That’s what I thought!”

She happily bounced on the spot a couple of times, then, with great affection—almost dependency—leaned her little head against Yun Xiancheng’s broad, warm shoulder, saying in a blissful, coquettish tone:

”Since Brother Xiancheng says so... then... then Zi Yan is happy.” Hehe.

This big brother is not only good-looking and smells nice, but even his words sound so pleasant! I... I think I like him more and more.

However, just as this simple-minded Little Ancient Dragon was still immersed in boundless happiness and sweetness from being praised by the one she adored, unable to extricate herself...

She suddenly, keenly noticed that on Yun Xiancheng’s other side, that ’little runt’ with the same purple hair and eyes, who had been hostile toward her since earlier, had quietly moved closer at some point!

She saw that hateful ’Little Lion’ now staring at her with a provocative, triumphant, and challenging gaze, then, right in front of her, intimately took Yun Xiancheng’s free right hand.

She stuck out her pink, agile little tongue and began carefully, inch by inch, gently licking his slender, well-defined fingers!

Zi Yan watched Yun Yan’s incredibly bold, incredibly ’shameless’ intimate action in a daze. Her little head, which had just been filled with sweetness from the praise, suddenly couldn’t process what was happening.

Wh-what... what is she doing?!

Is... is doing something like this... even allowed??

Instinctively, she cast her confused and bewildered, pleading gaze toward the few ’normal-looking’ pretty big sisters around her.

However, to her even greater shock and confusion, she saw that Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yu, and even Xiao Xun’er...

upon witnessing this ambiguous, sensual, almost ’taboo’ scene before them, didn’t even frown!

Not only did they show no intention of stepping in to stop it, but they all turned a blind eye, even wearing slight ’watching a good show’ smiles on their faces, as if they were already accustomed to such things.

When she turned her gaze back to that hateful ’Little Lion’ again, filled with shock and doubt... Zi Yan was horrified to discover that the creature was now escalating matters even further.

She had taken Yun Xiancheng’s slender index finger completely into her small, moist cherry-like mouth.

And was now vividly making soft, ambiguous sucking sounds! How outrageous!

This... this is simply a blatant provocation!

The petite future Dragon Emperor’s heart, filled with pride and competitiveness, was instantly ignited by Yun Yan’s masterclass-level, ’green tea’-flavored provocation!

Hmph! So what if it’s... so what if it’s licking fingers?! Who doesn’t know how to do that?!

Do you think you’re the only one who knows how to please Brother Xiancheng this way?! Let me tell you, this young lady learns much faster than you! And does it much better too!

Seeing this, she, not wanting to be outdone, immediately grabbed Yun Xiancheng’s other free hand—the one she had been resting her head on. Then, imitating Yun Yan’s earlier, utterly seductive manner...

she also stuck out her own pink, yet somewhat clumsy, little tongue.

And began carefully, lick by lick, attentively licking his slender, flawless jade-like fingers! However, completely contrary to the sense of ’provocation’ and ’showing off’ she had imagined...

when Zi Yan actually placed Yun Xiancheng’s warm, slightly calloused finger into her own equally warm, moist little mouth...

a strange, utterly novel sensation she had never experienced before instantly shot from her tongue tip like an electric current, spreading through her entire body from head to toe!

First, she tasted a faint, salty flavor, similar to sweat.

But that saltiness wasn’t unpleasant at all; instead, it carried a unique, masculine scent belonging to a grown man.
