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

161: Section 161[After Xiao Yan lost her Dou Qi and her mother passed away, she became disheartened and took the initiative to cut off contact with Xiao Xun’er. The former rivals had not seen each other for three years...]

(She was as lonely as snow in the Xiao Family, finding it difficult to even find someone to talk to.) At the same time, the system information in his eyes flickered.

[She is very lonely and seems to long for something different; this can be used as a breakthrough point.]

”Thank you for your gratitude, Young Lady. Yan’er is also my lovely junior sister; it is only natural for me to look out for her.”

”Even Xiao Yan’s younger sisters are like family to me, so naturally, I will help whenever I can.” As Yun Xiancheng spoke, he reached out and rubbed Xiao Mei’s head. Xiao Mei no longer maintained her ”bristling” state of vigilance; feeling Yun Xiancheng’s warm hand, her expression became very comfortable, and she rubbed against it obediently. ”You...” Xiao Xun’er let out a light laugh, her voice sounding as pleasant as silver bells.

He never hid his intention of starting a harem, making him quite an honest person. He didn’t even want to let her go.

Perhaps he’s just another one of those playboy young masters who act recklessly based on their status. This thought flashed through Xiao Xun’er’s mind before she adjusted her brows, shrugged her shoulders, cast aside these distracting thoughts, and continued with the business at hand.

”Does Yan’er... really still have a chance to recover?” Her tone became serious. ”Naturally.” Yun Xiancheng, leading Xiao Mei, moved a bit closer to Xiao Xun’er. ”And tomorrow, I’m going to take her to the market to buy medicinal ingredients for her cultivation.”

Looking at Yun Xiancheng’s face, Xiao Xun’er took a couple of small steps back, yet she still caught the faint, refreshing scent coming from him.

This fragrance seeped into her nostrils, bringing a reassuring scent that the young lady firmly committed to memory. The furrowed brows she had held earlier softened slightly.

”Are you showing off something?” Xiao Xun’er said irritably.

”What I mean is, since you are all Xiao Yan’s sisters, why don’t we all go out together?” Yun Xiancheng explained.

”Me? I can go too?” Xiao Mei was stunned for a moment, then remembering Yun Xiancheng’s instructions to her, she immediately nodded vigorously. ”Mm! I’ll work hard.”

Xiao Xun’er’s heart also stirred upon hearing this proposal.

This fellow from the Cloud Mist Sect was cultured and quite reasonable, far beyond those idiotic young masters. Her eyes lit up, and she nodded. ”We’ll do as you say.”

Then, the young lady’s originally serious expression suddenly collapsed, becoming much more relaxed. She walked up to Yun Xiancheng and carefully examined his face.

She seemed to ignore Xiao Mei below her, and Xiao Xun’er finally gave a heavy nod.

”After you arrived, all the boring things have changed a bit. It’s quite nice. Should I thank you?”

Then, without waiting for Yun Xiancheng to speak, her figure moved slightly as she slowly departed, leaving only a faint scent of purple lotus lingering in the air.

”Did you remember? You must accompany your sister out tomorrow.” Yun Xiancheng lightly tapped Xiao Mei’s forehead, reminding her again.

”Mm-hmm.” The young lady obediently responded a couple of times before leaving, looking back with every step. By now, the crescent moon hung high in the night sky; it was already late.

Yun Xiancheng strode back to the carriage, only to see Nalan Yanran sitting cross-legged on the carriage bed, looking puffed up with anger.

”You big flirt, you’ve only just left the Cloud Mist Sect and you’ve already met so many ’sisters’.” she grumbled. ”But you will always be my number one.” Yun Xiancheng stepped forward and pulled the young lady into his embrace.

The young lady broke free from Yun Xiancheng’s embrace and said, ”I smell two different floral scents on you. One is Xiao Mei’s, and the other must be Xiao Yan’s.”

As Nalan Yanran spoke, she pushed Yun Xiancheng down onto the bed, tracing circles on his chest with one hand.

”Yes.” Yun Xiancheng never hid his thoughts and admitted it frankly. ”Then I can be your sister too.” Nalan Yanran said with a light laugh. She waved her hand, and the carriage curtains slowly closed.

An invisible barrier enveloped the entire carriage; this was the anti-peeping barrier provided by the system. In the darkness, the young lady seemed to be using her teeth to undo some sort of binding.

”I must give the lecherous Xiancheng a little lesson.” she whispered to herself. Yun Xiancheng once again pressed Nalan Yanran beneath him with practiced ease.

Although they were in the dark, both of them had excellent vision and were largely unaffected.

He planted a soft kiss on Nalan Yanran’s fair neck. ”Then let’s begin, darling.” he said in a low, husky voice.

Moonlight spilled down through the gaps. The jade pendant at the young lady’s waist clashed with the buckle at Yun Xiancheng’s waist, producing a crisp and pleasant sound. The red coral hairpins adorned in her black hair swayed in the moonlight like flickering flames.

The incense sachets hanging from the four corners of the carriage trembled, mixing Yun Xiancheng’s body scent with the orchid-like fragrance emitted by the young lady’s sweat, brewing an intoxicating and ambiguous aroma... 012 Dates should be with Young ladies!

Leaning by the window, Xiao Yan’s eyelashes trembled slightly.

Feeling the Dou Qi flowing vibrantly within her body, a look of joy flashed in the young lady’s eyes.

The feeling of having Dou Qi back is so good! Should I continue cultivating today?

Usually, her life was this boring: cultivating, working, and then being dragged off to do hard labor by some blind old woman. How could a young lady’s body endure such hardship? It had left various scrapes and bruises on her.

Leaning against the window frame, she narrowed her gaze, pondering today’s plans. At that moment, a very faint ”click” sounded from her side. On the window hinge, a corner of a black robe with dark patterns was suddenly reflected.

Yun Xiancheng lightly rapped his knuckles on the window, the rhythmic sound startling the blue-crested sparrows under the eaves. ”Good morning, Xiao Yan.”

The young lady was startled and hurriedly pulled her loose nightgown together.

But the collarbone above her lapel was still fully seen by that scoundrel Yun Xiancheng.

The young lady’s cheeks flushed, and she said bashfully, ”Senior Brother, why are you always appearing and disappearing like a ghost? Also, isn’t this the women’s courtyard? How did you get in?” [Xiao Yan’s intimacy +5, current 20/100]

Yun Xiancheng slightly curled his lips and explained, ”I happen to live next door. My door is right by your window.” It turned out that Clan Leader Xiao Zhan had thoughtfully arranged the guest room next to Xiao Yan’s.

To the right was Xiao Mei’s room, and the one on the left happened to be vacant, so he moved in smoothly. Hearing this, Xiao Yan instantly understood her father’s intentions.

She thought to herself, ”Is Father really treating me as Senior Brother’s Dao companion? But what about Xiao Mei and Xun’er?”

Yun Xiancheng withdrew his gaze from Xiao Yan’s collarbone and said naturally, ”Today, why don’t you come with me to the market? We might be able to buy the medicinal ingredients you need.”

”Okay, okay, Senior Brother! Just wait for me!” With that, the young lady pulled the curtains shut.

At this time, Nalan Yanran walked to the door of the room with bare feet on the blue bricks. She leaned lazily against the doorframe, a half-visible crimson hickey peeking out from the collar of her snow-white inner garment.

”Senior Brother, sneaking around someone’s door so early in the morning, are you trying to learn how to build a nest like a swallow?” Before she could finish, Yun Xiancheng had already wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

The un-faded rouge mark behind the young lady’s ear became a mystery entangled with the lingering orchid scent on his lapel.

The two shared a long kiss. After a while, a thread of saliva connected them like a Magpie Bridge. ”Senior Brother, aren’t we going back to the sect?”

”I want to accompany my junior sister in her cultivation. Yanran, you can return to the sect first and report the relevant matters to Master.”

Nalan Yanran’s gaze instantly sharpened. If he was like this while she was around, if she wasn’t... he’d probably find dozens of them. No! She couldn’t go back! She spoke resolutely, ”Then I won’t go back for a while either!”

Yun Xiancheng chuckled and pulled her into his arms. ”Mm, I also can’t bear to see you leave.”

The young lady’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she soon softened. ”Hmph, I’m only staying because I’m worried you’ll go around flirting while you’re out.”

Yun Xiancheng lightly kissed her forehead and whispered mockingly, ”Even if you’re here, I’ll still do it.” ”Ah!”

Xiao Mei happened to stumble upon this romantic scene at that moment. She paused and stepped back. Seeing both their gazes fall on her, she lowered her head and whispered with a red face, ”Did I come at a bad time?” Yun Xiancheng shook his head. ”No, you’ve come at exactly the right time.”

Hearing his greeting, Xiao Mei hurried forward, hugged one of his arms, and rubbed against it gently, looking extremely cute.

After a while, she spoke, ”I came to bring clothes for Yan’er.” She lifted the clothes in her hand.

”Then go quickly, don’t keep her waiting.” Yun Xiancheng nodded, gesturing toward the door.

Xiao Mei obediently knocked on the door, only to hear a questioning voice from inside. ”Who is it?”

”Sister, it’s me. I’ve brought your clothes.”

The room was silent for a moment before Xiao Yan slowly spoke, ”Please come in.” Xiao Mei looked back, casting a lingering glance at Yun Xiancheng, then stepped inside.

Xiao Mei felt that her previous apology wasn’t enough to make up for her faults. She whispered, ”Sister... for the past three years, I’m sorry...” Xiao Yan hummed in response. Looking up and seeing her younger sister’s distraught expression, the past instantly rushed back to her mind.

The young girl who used to follow closely behind her, sweetly calling her ”Sister,” and that departing figure who gradually grew distant after she lost her Dou Qi—at this moment, they seemed to overlap with the Xiao Mei before her.

Xiao Yan slightly shook her head. ”Those things are in the past. Help me change.” Xiao Mei’s body trembled slightly as she walked toward Xiao Yan.

”There must have been quite a conflict between these two before. You really are a lecher.” Nalan Yanran whispered into Yun Xiancheng’s ear.

”Is the temptation of sisters really that great?” Nonsense!

Of course it is.

Who could refuse the sight of a pair of sisters looking at them with deep affection, two beauties with similar features sweetly calling them ”husband”?

Yun Xiancheng answered internally. ”I’ve been found out by Yanran.”

And Yun Xiancheng also spoke to Yanran with some embarrassment.

[Nalan Yanran’s jealousy value increased by 5 points, currently 85/100] ”lecher.”

Nalan Yanran gave Yun Xiancheng a light punch, then began to ponder her own situation. What advantages did she have to compete with the Xiao sisters?

The Nalan Family didn’t have much of a chance; there wasn’t a suitable younger sister to act as a pillar.

Like a sudden flash of inspiration, an excellent answer flashed through the young lady’s mind—a teacher-student double. Just thinking about that scene made her face turn red.

No, no, no, how could she be like this!? Yun Yun was her beloved Master!

But... Master must also have feelings for this lecher.

The more the young lady thought, the hotter her head became. This was too rebellious!

[Nalan Yanran’s jealousy value decreased by 5 points, currently 80/100] What is this little girl thinking about?

Yun Xiancheng looked at the dazed Nalan Yanran with a hint of doubt.

He gently pinched her nose. It felt good, like jade.

He gave it a little rub. Not bad, comfortable.

Suddenly, a hint of purple lotus fragrance wafted into his nose.

”It seems every time I see you, there’s always a Beauty in your arms.” Xiao Xun’er arrived, stepping through that scent of purple lotus.

Shadows of purple lotuses swayed beside her, but they couldn’t match the crimson makeup traced at the corners of her eyes. She held a round fan in her hand, covering half of her pretty face.

She smiled gently, walked up to Yun Xiancheng, and after taking a deep breath, continued as if bathed in a spring breeze, ”I was wondering, have you ever thought about pulling me into your arms too?”

Yun Xiancheng nodded. ”Mm, yes.”

Hearing this, Xiao Xun’er was startled at first, then shook her head.

”That’s not going to happen. I’m not an easy girl to win over like Xiao Mei.” ”But... do I look good today?”

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes holding a hint of expectation as she asked. ”Very beautiful.”

Yun Xiancheng answered truthfully.

Although the young lady had guessed Yun Xiancheng would say that, actually hearing the compliment still made her heart skip a beat. Strange... he was too strange.

She smelled the scent on his body—it was like the warm, comfortable smell of fur after being baked in the sun, making one unable to help but feel an attachment. Even just being together in silence felt peaceful.

This feeling... was quite nice.

[Xiao Xun’er’s favorability increased by 10 points, currently 10/100] Although he wasn’t sure why her favorability was rising.

But looking at the situation—the path to winning over Xiao Xun’er was long and difficult!

But he wasn’t in a hurry. Xiao Xun’er was a descendant of the Ancient Clan with the strongest background, a direct path to the late-game content.

He would just slowly increase her favorability. ”Senior Brother...”

Only Xiao Yan’s voice was heard as the young lady slowly stepped out of the room, dressed in a magnificent light red gown, surrounded by Xiao Mei. The vermilion door creaked open, and Xiao Yan stood in the glow of the horizon.

The rouge-colored dress carefully chosen by Xiao Mei was now being whipped into breathtaking waves by the morning breeze.

Xiao Yan’s striking Beauty appeared, making Yun Xiancheng unable to help but swallow his saliva. Nalan Yanran, who was watching his reaction from the side, was overcome with jealousy and pinched his waist.

Xiao Xun’er nodded slightly. She glanced at Xiao Yan, a small smile appearing on her lips behind the round fan.

The feeling of seeing an old friend again was nice. She looked at Yun Xiancheng’s back again.

”Meeting a new, interesting fellow... is also quite nice.”

013 Dating with the Young ladies

Late spring morning light brushed over the Xiao Family Market.

Beneath the vermilion archway, freshly baked breakfast items were steaming.

Yun Xiancheng brushed aside the gauze curtain, and the bustling long street came into view.

On the left, a pharmacy overflowed with the bitter scent of Atractylodes, while on the right, a rouge stall emitted a cloying sweetness. In the center, a fire dragon spat by a street performer burned a hole through the morning mist. Xiao Yan, who hadn’t left the Xiao residence in three years, felt an immediate sense of discomfort at the sight of such commotion.

She instinctively gripped the corner of Yun Xiancheng’s sleeve tightly, her fingertips sinking into her senior brother’s flesh, as if grasping a life-saving reed, unwilling to let go. Seeing the young lady’s distress, Yun Xiancheng moved slightly to her side and pulled her into his arms.

He wore the token of the Xiao Family’s Guest Elder at his waist—just a moment ago, the First Elder of the Xiao Family had visited personally to apologize for yesterday’s insolence.

He was a magnanimous person; after all, the First Elder hadn’t dealt a lethal blow to Xiao Yan, so he had merely struck the First Elder three times to vent his own anger. As for whether Xiao Yan’s anger had subsided, that was her own business.

Nalan Yanran stood beside Yun Xiancheng. Seeing the two of them embracing, she felt half-annoyed and also gripped his other arm tightly, her eyes carrying a hint of competition as she looked at Xiao Yan.

While Xiao Yan was feeling tender in his embrace, she was glared at by Nalan Yanran. With a sly smile, she avoided the others’ gazes and whispered, ”Sister...”

Hearing this call, Nalan Yanran’s intended posture instantly crumbled. Her small face flushed, her annoyance vanished, and it turned into a bit of pride. ”Hmph... I’ll forgive you this time.”

Xiao Xun’er and Xiao Mei didn’t notice their secret struggle at this time. They were looking at jewelry again.

Seeing Yun Xiancheng’s gaze sweep over, Xiao Xun’er pointed in one direction.

Yun Xiancheng looked where the young lady’s slender hand pointed and saw an old man guarding an ebony display stand.

On the display stand, malachite hairpins and rhinoceros horn combs were layered together, with various women’s ornaments laid out; it looked like a jewelry stall. Xiao Mei looked at the top layer, appearing a bit dazed.
