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

188: Section 188068 The Beauties Compete in Radiance

”Master, you must be joking.”

Yun Xiancheng’s face turned slightly red, looking very much like a shy young man as he murmured,

”Since I’ve been cultivating within the sect, I rarely get the chance to go out. To be able to meet all these good friends, I am truly happy in my heart.” Looking at Yun Xiancheng’s slightly bashful expression, Yun Yun also felt gratified that he had made new friends.

”Since they are Chenger’s friends, then as his Master, I should leave behind some small gifts.” After thinking for a moment, Yun Yun took out three scrolls from her storage ring.

”These three books are Mysterious Level Low-Grade cultivation techniques for the Wind, Fire, and Water attributes. Consider them a gift from Chenger and me to the Xiao Family.” Then, after a thought, she looked at Mei’er’s clever kitchen-maid appearance, smiled slightly, and took out another scroll.

”This is my Cloud Mist Sect’s Mysterious Level Mid-Grade Wind attribute technique. Consider it a gift for you, Mei’er; do not spread it to outsiders.” ”Thank you, Sister Yun Yun!”

Xiao Mei happily accepted the four scrolls and gave a deep bow to Yun Yun, thanking her on behalf of the family. Looking at this young girl, an imperceptible trace of loss quietly welled up in Yun Yun’s heart.

Her beautiful eyes gazed at Yun Xiancheng’s slightly reddened face, and a thought actually arose in her heart—perhaps one day he would eventually leave her. These Young ladies of the Xiao Family were all so lovely and were a perfect match for Chenger.

Even any one of them could be with Chenger... while she could only watch him tie the knot and settle down for life with other girls. After all... he was her Disciple. Between Master and Disciple, how could... Xiao Xun’er sat opposite Yun Yun, her body naturally exuding an innate nobility.

For some reason, upon seeing a woman with such mature charm as Yun Yun, Xun’er couldn’t help but release her own nobility, like flowers competing for Beauty, wanting to shine in reflection with her.

”Has Sect Master Yun Yun grown accustomed to staying here these past few days?” As soon as Mei’er left, Xun’er immediately took up the conversation. She smiled and said:

”Chenger has been very popular in our Xiao Family these days. At first, none of us were interested in him, but he is indeed an interesting person, so we all gathered around him one by one.”

These words were quite ambiguous, as if saying that all these Young ladies were Yun Xiancheng’s confidantes—and it seemed they really were.

This matter was well-known to the Young ladies in their hearts. Among them, there were those like Yanran and Mei’er who didn’t mind Yun Xiancheng starting a harem, and even felt that the speed at which Yun Xiancheng was building his harem was too slow.

But for Yun Yun, it was different.

Upon hearing Xiao Xun’er’s words, she visibly became dejected. However, she still forced a smile and said:

”You are all good children. It is Chenger’s blessing to have a fated connection with you.”

”Not at all, the Sect Master overstates it. Xiancheng is also a rare and extraordinary man with an unrestrained imagination. One day, he will shock you!”

Xiao Xun’er smiled slightly. Looking at the somewhat sorrowful Yun Yun, she only felt that she seemed a bit too ’proper,’ perhaps even a bit pedantic, but Yun Yun was indeed an extremely beautiful woman.

Xiao Xun’er could guarantee that with Yun Xiancheng’s lecherous nature, how could he possibly let Yun Yun stay in an empty room alone?

Hehe, she just didn’t know how Yun Xiancheng would make a pedantic person like Yun Yun accept his harem theory. However, she likely wouldn’t be able to see such family matters herself, which was a bit of a pity.

Xiao Xun’er chatted briefly with Yun Yun again, then slowly sat down, feeling a secret joy in her heart that this cold, white-clad fairy would sooner or later become a plaything in Yun Xiancheng’s palm.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan silently tasted the exquisite tea snacks. She had no choice, because at this moment, the Medicine Lady inside the ring was insanely jealous. ”My Disciple has never been this well-behaved in front of me!”

Looking at the docile and obedient Yun Xiancheng in front of Yun Yun, she let out bursts of lamentation.

Medicine Lady wished she could transform into her miniature form and run onto Yun Xiancheng to make a fuss, but fearing Yun Yun’s presence, she had to give up. ”A mere Dou Huang! How dare she!”

Medicine Lady’s mournful cries rang in Xiao Yan’s eardrums, making it awkward for the girl to step forward and ask Yun Yun for cultivation insights.

Xiao Yu sized up this Cloud Mist Sect Master with curiosity. Her appearance that day had been very shocking, leaving a lasting memory for Xiao Yu.

Even now, with her aura normal and wearing a faint smile, Yun Yun exuded the temperament of a mature Beauty throughout her being.

It made the girl unable to help but think: So mature, so beautiful!

Then, she quietly scrutinized herself and her sisters; they were all delicate flowers about to bloom.

The daughters of our Xiao Family are not inferior at all! It’s just that we haven’t fully blossomed yet!

The girl thought to herself, and a bit of a competitive spirit couldn’t help but surge within her.

At this time, Ya Fei walked in from outside, wearing a dignified long dress with a smile on her face: ”Sister Yun Yun, good day.”

”Oh, the one from the Mittel Family... her name is Ya Fei, right... hello.” Yun Yun nodded, then as if suddenly remembering something, she spoke up:

”By the way, I remember taking Chenger to your Mittel Family when he was a child. I wonder if you two back then...” ”Naturally, we knew each other.”

Ya Fei hugged Yun Xiancheng from behind and said intimately:

”Xiancheng told me back then that he would marry me when he grew up! Sister Yun Yun must be our witness!”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the previously harmonious Young ladies suddenly became sharp. Instantly, it felt as if a thousand swords were slashing through the air.

Everyone was doing fine, so why did you come and declare sovereignty as soon as you arrived? The harmony was broken, and the competition began.

Yun Xiancheng suddenly felt the burning gazes of the Young ladies all projected onto him.

Xiao Mei also walked up intimately, hugging Yun Xiancheng’s arm with both hands, and said affectionately to Yun Yun: ”Sister Yun Yun! Brother Xiancheng is Mei’er’s savior; he helped Mei’er correct her bad habits from the past!” Xiao Yan glared at her sister, stepped forward, and shrunk into Yun Xiancheng’s embrace without saying a word.

Xiao Xun’er found this scene quite amusing and also stepped forward to hug Yun Xiancheng. For a moment, four Young ladies were hugging Yun Xiancheng, leaving Yun Yun dumbfounded.

Usually the boldest, Nalan Yanran now acted like a modest young lady because her Master was present, pressing her hands on her thighs and trying her best to look dignified.

”Your relationship is quite good, and Xiancheng is indeed lucky.”

Yun Yun covered her mouth and smiled, but there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes. These girls and her Disciple were such a good match.

At this moment, within the entire room, various fresh and elegant floral scents intertwined and permeated the air, lingering around Yun Xiancheng’s nose.

The faint Camellia on Yun Yun, the cold night-blooming cereus on Yanran, the elegant green apricot on Xiao Yan, the noble purple lotus on Xun’er, the sweet rose on Xiao Mei, and the fresh Lily on Xiao Yu.

These fragrances made Yun Xiancheng feel as if he were surrounded by a cluster of beauties. It could truly be said: The beauties compete in radiance, each with their own unique charm.

Building a divine bridge when the road ends.

There was a lot going on today, so the post is a bit slow. I’m thinking about whether to start a group chat.

069 Two Masters, Someone is Jealous

“Um... Master, that is roughly how things happened.”

Yun Xiancheng reported to Yun Yun, who was seated at the head, in an honest and simple tone. His attitude was respectful, like a primary school student who had made a mistake and was reporting to his teacher.

Yun Yun looked with a gentle gaze at Xiao Yan, who sat somewhat stiffly before her. The girl’s figure was petite and slightly immature; her legs were pressed together, swaying slightly with nervousness, and her large, watery eyes stole glances at her from time to time, full of apprehension.

“The two of you, Senior Brother and Junior Sister, went out for a trip and actually brought back a little Junior Sister for me. Really...” Yun Yun shook her head helplessly, her tone carrying a hint of blame, but more of it was doting and indulgence:

“However, our Cloud Mist Sect primarily focuses on Wind attribute Dou Techniques, while Yaner’s attribute is Fire. The technique attributes don’t match, so it might not be suitable for her to cultivate at the Cloud Mist Sect.”

After a moment of silence, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly with a faint smile. She looked at Xiao Yan with a soft gaze and said warmly:

“Although the Cloud Mist Sect’s techniques might not be suitable for you and cannot guide your cultivation well, since... since Chenger and Yanran both like you so much and are willing to accept you, how could I, as your Master, have the heart to refuse?”

As she spoke, she took the initiative to hold Xiao Yan’s cold little hand and said in a gentle tone:

“Since you have already entered my tutelage and become a Disciple of the Cloud Mist Sect, then as your Master, I will naturally do my best to teach you and pass on everything I know.”

“Of course, if you feel that traveling and adventuring outside is more beneficial to your cultivation, Master will never force you to stay in the sect. Everything will follow your own heart.”

Her eyes were filled with the gentleness and maternal love of a teacher, and her tone was as mild as a spring breeze, making one feel refreshed.

”You only need to remember, as long as you are in the Jia Ma Empire for one day, you are my, Yun Yun’s, Disciple, and you deserve the same treatment as Chenger and Yanran. No one is allowed to bully you, do you understand?”

Yun Yun’s gentle and considerate words immediately moved Xiao Yan to tears.

She remembered the darkest and most desperate moment of her life; it was Yun Xiancheng who descended like a god, dispelling the darkness around her and bringing her light and hope.

Now, his Master, Sect Leader Yun of the Cloud Mist Sect, was also as warm as sunlight, giving her such gentle care and protection, making her feel incredibly warm as if she had found a true home.

This Master and Disciple duo were truly rare, gentle, and kind people in this world... Xiao Yan could no longer control her inner excitement and suddenly threw herself into Yun Yun’s warm embrace, her tears finally bursting forth as she choked out, ”Thank you, Sister Yun Yun... thank you.”

Yun Yun gently stroked the back of her head and asked softly, ”You little silly, what nonsense are you saying? What should you call me, hmm?” ”Thank you, Master.”

Xiao Yan leaned in Yun Yun’s arms and spoke in a voice as low as a mosquito’s buzz, her heart filled with gratitude and happiness.

Medicine Lady quietly watched Yun Yun coax away the Xiao Yan she had been so concerned about with just a few words, and a sense of despair suddenly filled her heart.

She felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, her petite body slumping weakly within the ring space, her eyes hollow and devoid of all luster.

Yun Xiancheng keenly noticed that a silent drama of ”jealousy” seemed to be playing out between his two Masters.

Well, more accurately, only one Master was being jealous unilaterally, while the other was completely unaware of what was happening. This gave him a bit of a headache, but headache or not, he had to find a way to solve the problem.

Although Yun Yun could not yet perceive Medicine Lady’s existence, Medicine Lady was, after all, a girl with delicate thoughts and rich emotions.

Having been betrayed by her previous Disciple, she certainly had some psychological trauma. Witnessing that ”warm scene of a kind Master and filial Disciple” just now would undoubtedly exacerbate her negative emotions, making her even more sad and distressed.

It seemed that the progress of winning over Medicine Lady’s side really needed to be accelerated; it could no longer be delayed.

Both of his Masters were equally dear to him; they were both women he wanted to love and cherish properly, and he could not favor one over the other.

Letting either side feel wronged was not an option; he had to properly soothe Medicine Lady and absolutely could not let her continue being jealous. Otherwise, if the harem caught fire, it would be a huge mess.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiancheng quietly approached Xiao Yan and, taking advantage of everyone’s lack of attention, moved his fingers nimbly.

He surreptitiously slipped the ancient ring she was wearing on her finger between his own; his speed was truly breathtaking. Xiao Yan keenly sensed Yun Xiancheng’s small movement; she was brilliantly clever and instantly understood his intention.

At the same time, she quickly realized that she had just been so focused on getting close to her new Master, Yun Yun, that she had neglected her Master Medicine Lady, who had always cared for her deeply. Guilt and regret immediately welled up in her heart.

”I must apologize properly to Master Medicine Lady later, comfort her well, and make her happy...” she thought to herself, determined to make up for her oversight.

As the sky gradually darkened and the twilight gathered, Yun Xiancheng looked out the window. Seeing that night had fallen, he spoke up at the appropriate time, ”It’s getting late, and the night is deep. Master, let me take you to your room to rest. You’ve had a long journey and must be tired after the day’s events.”

Hearing this, Yun Yun followed his gaze to the completely dark sky outside and nodded slightly, saying gently, ”Mm, that’s fine. It is indeed late. Then, sisters, I will go to rest first. I’ll talk with you all properly tomorrow.” ”Goodnight, Sister Yun Yun, I hope you have sweet dreams!” Xiao Mei waved goodbye sweetly, her voice charming and lovely.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun’er nodded slightly with elegant poise and said softly, ”Goodnight, Sect Leader Yun. Please take care.” ”Goodnight, sisters. You all should rest early as well.”

Yun Yun returned a gentle smile, and then, accompanied by Yun Xiancheng and Nalan Yanran, she moved with graceful steps, slowly leaving the hall and heading toward the room that had been meticulously

prepared for her.

The room arranged for Yun Yun was naturally a new one built by the Xiao Family specifically to welcome this distinguished guest. Located in the backyard of the Xiao Family manor, the environment was quiet and elegant, far from the hustle and bustle. It was a square, ancient-style courtyard house full of Oriental charm.

”Staying in this small city is quite peaceful. However, Chenger, Yanran, when will you return to the sect?” Yun Yun sat on the platform in the center of the courtyard, looking at her two adorable young Disciples behind her with a slight smile.

”Yaner wants to go out on an adventure. She is only a Dou Practitioner, and adventuring outside is too dangerous, so I want to follow her,” Yun Xiancheng said.

Hearing this, Yun Yun nodded.

”Mm, that is only right. Yaner needs a Dao Protector.”

Yun Yun walked up to Yun Xiancheng and unconsciously took his hand, closing her eyes to sense his cultivation level. ”An Eight-Star Dou Shi?”

Yun Yun was slightly stunned. She really hadn’t expected Yun Xiancheng’s growth rate to be so fast; in just half a year, his realm had progressed by leaps and bounds to this point. Her brows smoothed out, and she smiled sweetly.

”Mm, my Disciple is quite good. It seems that even without the resources of the Cloud Mist Sect... you can still cultivate very well.” Looking at his Master’s sweet smile, Yun Xiancheng almost couldn’t resist leaning in for a kiss.

But he held back, simply wrapping his hands naturally around her waist and pressing close to her, feeling her breath.

Feeling her Disciple’s bold behavior, Yun Yun did not push him away immediately. Instead, she allowed him to boldly take her into his embrace. ”Mm, I will keep a good eye on Yaner.”

Seeing this scene, Yanran knew that Yun Xiancheng indeed had designs on Yun Yun—

But why was he a bit absent-minded? Why didn’t he continue? Hurry up and win Master over!

Yanran kept cheering for her Senior Brother in her heart.

However, Yun Xiancheng was indeed a bit absent-minded. Medicine Lady still needed comforting, and he couldn’t win over Yun Yun right now; that would be a bit of a nightmare.

”Master... at three o’clock tonight, I will come to... clear your meridians for you,” Yun Xiancheng whispered in Yun Yun’s ear.

Master Yun Yun could wait a little longer to enjoy herself.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yun Yun’s earlobe turn red. His Master did not respond directly but instead changed the subject.

”Then Yanran will return to the sect with me to cultivate. You have a Three-Year Agreement with Yaner; stay in the sect and cultivate well. Strive to secure your title as Senior Sister and don’t lose to your Junior Sister.”

After changing the subject, Yun Yun also left Yun Xiancheng’s embrace and spoke to Nalan Yanran, who was watching the scene from the side.

”Then goodnight, Master.” Yun Xiancheng cupped his hands and bowed to Yun Yun before leaving.

He hurried toward the Back Mountain; he still had an adorable little Master to care for.

070 Good... what an unfilial disciple you are...

Inside the Cave, it was dark and quiet, with only the occasional flicker of flames in the Medicine Cauldron providing a faint light, illuminating the two silent figures. The air was filled with a faint scent of medicinal herbs, yet it could not mask the oppressive atmosphere.

Deep in the Cave, Yun Xiancheng sat cross-legged, lowering his head and eyes, his gaze falling heavily on the person before him.

Medicine Lady was still sitting on the Lotus Platform, her bare feet tucked in as she held her knees to her chest. Her thin plain clothes outlined her slender and fragile silhouette. She kept her eyes downcast, her long eyelashes casting faint shadows under her eyelids, making it impossible to see the emotions in her eyes.

She exuded a sense of detachment that kept people a thousand miles away, as if she were using her silent posture to build a high wall, isolating everything from the outside world. ”Master...”

He called out softly once more, his voice even gentler this time, carrying a hint of cautious probing, as if afraid of disturbing some fragile treasure. After a long while, Medicine Lady slowly raised her head. Those eyes, once as clear as water, were now dull and lifeless, as if covered by a layer of gray mist.

They had lost their former radiance.
