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

204: Section 204”Are you... leaving?” ”Yes.”

Yun Xiancheng nodded slightly, his tone calm and without a ripple.

Linger bit her lip tightly, handed the Dou Technique scroll in her hand to the mercenary behind her, then raised her head and mustered the courage to say, ”I want to go with you.”

Perhaps the feelings of a young girl are always so bold, reckless, guided only by what is in her heart, disregarding consequences, seeking only to be true to herself.

Yun Xiancheng was not a person who would easily refuse others. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, and his tone carried a hint of playfulness as he asked, ”Have you thought it through? This is an elopement, you know.” ”Yes!”

Linger nodded vigorously, her tone firm, and without the slightest hesitation, she embraced Yun Xiancheng. Yun Xiancheng did not refuse; he pulled the young lady into his arms and gently rubbed her head.

”Miss!” The mercenaries of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group were stunned. How could their leader’s daughter be getting whisked away just like that? However, they couldn’t attack this son-in-law; firstly, he was very strong, and secondly, the Miss was the one who initiated it.

As excellent workers, these mercenaries knew the ways of the workplace well. Thus, after calling out once, they didn’t pursue it further.

”Go back and tell Father that I’m married off!” Linger said to the mercenaries from within Yun Xiancheng’s embrace. ”Consider those gold coins and the scroll as my dowry.”

Using dead people’s money as... *cough cough*, well, can’t say, can’t say. Anyway, the Blood Battle Mercenary Group wouldn’t know.

Yun Xiancheng himself didn’t have much concept of gold coins, as he hadn’t really spent much money. Regardless, he came to Qingshan Town empty-handed, and leaving with a Beauty in his arms was enough.

”Yes, yes, yes.” The mercenaries dared not provoke bad luck, so they took the things and ran off.

Yun Xiancheng pinched Linger’s nose and said, ”I will take care of you from now on.”

Linger smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Xiao Yi Xian stood to the side, quietly watching everything happening before her.

When she saw Linger gazing at Yun Xiancheng with eyes full of affection, an unspeakable sense of bitterness welled up deep in her heart.

However, she did not reveal too much emotion on her face, only watching quietly as Yun Xiancheng took Linger’s hand and walked slowly toward her.

”Are you going to find your junior sister?” Xiao Yi Xian raised her head and asked softly in a slightly hoarse voice, her tone carrying a hint of undisguisable reluctance and worry.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiancheng turned his head, his deep eyes gazing at her, and smiled slightly. Then, he flicked his finger, and a flame ignited out of thin air. It instantly transformed into a raging inferno, engulfing the entire Wan Yao Pharmacy, the flames soaring into the sky, dyeing half the sky red.

Killing and setting fires is truly the best choice for destroying corpses and covering up evidence. After doing all this, he turned around and said to Xiao Yi Xian with a smile, ”I originally did plan to look for my junior sister first, but... I plan to accompany you first.”

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head gently and said firmly, ”I am not important. Your junior sister is out training alone and probably needs your company and protection more. You should go take care of her first; don’t worry about me, I can manage on my own.”

Yun Xiancheng also shook his head, walked to her side, and stretched out his arms, ignoring her struggles and refusals. He pulled her tightly into his arms, feeling the faint, lingering fragrance emanating from her, his heart filled with tranquility.

”Then I definitely cannot let you go.” Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian’s delicate body trembled slightly, feeling Yun Xiancheng’s warm and powerful embrace, as well as his gentle words.

All her grievances and unease dissipated. She slowly closed her eyes, saying no more, letting Yun Xiancheng hold her tightly. Although he had just been in intimate contact with another girl, now, after being tightly embraced by him, the young lady felt that the bitter feeling had dissipated significantly, replaced by an indescribable sweetness and happiness.

”You lecherous guy, are you trying to hit on both of us at the same time?” She said this while in his arms, not looking like she was scolding him at all.

Yun Xiancheng nodded, ”You are wrong... It should be said that I want to marry you both. From now on, forever and always, we will be together.”

How could a teenage girl bear the weight of a promise for the next hundred, or even thousand or ten thousand years? Xiao Yi Xian said nothing more, feeling the warmth and sense of security emanating from him.

”Fine, it’s not... impossible.”

A moment later, Yun Xiancheng slowly unfurled the cloud-like, snowy white cloud wings on his back, took them with him, and flew slowly away from the Wan Yao Pharmacy, which had turned into a sea of fire, toward the distant horizon.

104 Let’s go into seclusion with the Young ladies!

Floating in the air, the two Young ladies felt the scorching body temperature of Yun Xiancheng.

”What Realm are you at now?” Xiao Yi Xian leaned against Yun Xiancheng’s arm, raised her head, looked at his profile with a slightly curious gaze, and asked softly.

”Nine-star Dou Master.” Yun Xiancheng smiled slightly and answered in a calm tone.

”So amazing.” Linger and Xiao Yi Xian exclaimed in unison, their eyes filled with admiration and respect.

At this moment, Linger was being carried on Yun Xiancheng’s back, the two snowy white cloud wings encircling her neck like a cute scarf, making her look even more petite and adorable.

”Not powerful enough yet. To protect you both, I still need to become stronger.” Yun Xiancheng reached out, gently flicked Xiao Yi Xian’s small, perky nose, and said in a gentle tone.

The two flew all the way, and when they arrived near the cliff where they had gone treasure hunting last time, Yun Xiancheng suddenly felt that the spiritual energy in one place was exceptionally abundant, with a concentration far exceeding other places, so he took Xiao Yi Xian deeper inside to investigate.

After flying for a while, they arrived in front of an unremarkable small mountain. Yun Xiancheng flew upward, but the higher he flew, the more he could feel the rapid consumption of Dou energy in his body. With his Dou Master level strength, he was almost reaching the brink of exhaustion.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy within Yun Xiancheng was obtained through cultivation together with his wives, which was much denser than the spiritual energy cultivated by a single person, so he barely managed to hold on. Eventually, after some effort, they finally flew to the top of the small mountain.

The view suddenly opened up, and a beautiful and tranquil small basin came into view. A crystal-clear stream meandered out from the center of the basin, nourishing the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees, making the place full of vitality and presenting a scene of flourishing prosperity.

Surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, it was dreamlike and illusory, obscuring the entrance to the basin, making this place isolated from the world, like a paradise on earth, not easily detected by ordinary people. Between the clouds and mist, wafts of medicinal fragrance drifted over from time to time, refreshing the heart and lungs, making one feel relaxed and happy. Clearly, many precious and rare herbs grew here; it was indeed an excellent place for seclusion.

”This really is a nice place for seclusion, where one can cultivate in peace and improve one’s strength.” Xiao Yi Xian revealed a faint smile on her face and said sincerely, obviously full of love for this place.

”With a Beauty by my side, no matter where I am, it is a beautiful time and scenery, surpassing countless others in this world.” Yun Xiancheng turned his head, looked affectionately at Xiao Yi Xian’s clear and bright eyes, and said in a gentle tone, his eyes filled with deep love.

”Really... you only know how to say sweet things...” Hearing Yun Xiancheng’s sweet words of love, Xiao Yi Xian gently twined her fair fingers around her own black, shiny hair, a shy smile appearing on her pretty face, but her heart was slightly uneasy. She bit her moist, thin lips with her pearly teeth and said in a voice as low as a mosquito’s buzz, ”But... I am a Poison Master... an inauspicious person... If my poison gas erupts in the future, it will harm you.”

Seeing this, Yun Xiancheng felt heartbroken. He gently pulled her into his arms, and without waiting for her to finish speaking, he domineeringly kissed her delicate, dripping-red lips.

Xiao Yi Xian’s delicate body trembled slightly, feeling that warm and powerful embrace. And with his intensely aggressive kiss, a ripple of sweetness couldn’t help but arise in her heart. Her body instinctively wanted to resist, but her reason and spirit ultimately sank into Yun Xiancheng’s endless tenderness, giving up resistance and letting him take whatever he wanted.

Their tongues intertwined like two spirit snakes, probing each other, chasing each other, conveying their love to each other without reservation.

After a long while, their lips parted, and the two slowly separated. Xiao Yi Xian’s body was limp, as if she had lost all her strength, and she collapsed into Yun Xiancheng’s arms. The young lady was panting slightly, her whole body weak, as if she didn’t even have the strength to move a finger.

After a while, she slowly raised her head, her misty eyes filled with a hint of shyness and anticipation. She stared intently at Yun Xiancheng’s eyes, wanting to say something, but not knowing how to begin.

As if he had seen through her thoughts, Yun Xiancheng spoke first: ”I do not care whether you are a Poison Master or not. If you do not believe my words... then I will use my actions to prove it.”

Upon hearing such a passionate confession from Yun Xiancheng, Xiao Yi Xian’s pretty face instantly turned beet red.

However, she did not reply directly to Yun Xiancheng, only burying her head in his broad chest.

She breathed heavily, not daring to meet his gaze, her young maiden’s heart constantly torn between sweetness and shyness. Seeing this, Yun Xiancheng shook his head helplessly, though he did not mind it.

After all, there were still many days left to spend with Xiao Yi Xian; how could he not win her over?

”G-get married?” Linger did not expect that, having originally chosen to elope with Yun Xiancheng on a whim, they would be discussing such a topic on the very first day.

”Yes, I am serious.” Yun Xiancheng nodded, his tone solemn.

Without waiting for the Young ladies to answer, Yun Xiancheng showed an unusual assertiveness regarding this matter. He had to marry them; it was a must.

At this moment, his progress in winning them over had already reached this stage; if he did not marry them, it would be truly unjustifiable.

After walking into the valley hand in hand with the Young ladies, Yun Xiancheng began to build a small cabin by the stream, preparing to settle down here with the Young ladies and live a happy life away from the strife of the world.

Xiao Yi Xian had originally wanted to go collect herbs first, utilizing her exquisite medical and poison skills to find some precious and rare medicinal materials to improve her strength.

However, seeing Yun Xiancheng and Linger working hard to build the cabin, she put down her work, took the initiative to come to Yun Xiancheng’s side, helped him out, and together they added bricks and tiles to their new home.

The three of them worked until dusk. Under the reflection of the setting sun, their cabin was finally built. Although it appeared a bit crude, it was full of warmth and love.

The three sat side by side under the eaves, looking at the new home they had built with their own hands, and smiled at each other. All their fatigue vanished, and their hearts were filled with happiness and satisfaction.

Subsequently, Yun Xiancheng once again gently kissed the young lady in his arms. This time, the young lady did not react too strongly.

She slowly closed her eyes, opened her arms, and took the initiative to hug him, enjoying this warm and peaceful moment, feeling the love between them.

Linger, who had been silent, suddenly summoned her courage, reached out with slender fingers, and gently tugged at the corner of Yun Xiancheng’s clothes, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s: ”Young Master... I... I also want to...”

A moving blush appeared on her fair cheeks, like a peach blossom about to bloom, delicate and dripping with charm, her eyes filled with anticipation and shyness.

Seeing this, Yun Xiancheng smiled slightly, opened his arms, and gently embraced her into his arms as well. The young lady, however, took the initiative to wrap her arms around Yun Xiancheng’s neck and kissed him.

105 Living with the Young ladies

The chirping of cicadas in the valley gradually subsided, but the summer heat had not yet dissipated; the tail end of summer still carried a bit of sultriness. The morning mist was like a light veil, entwining the bamboo fence, while dew drops condensed on the leaf tips, crystalline like pearls.

Xiao Yi Xian had already risen and was busy in the herb garden she had personally cultivated in the courtyard, her figure light and focused.

She leaned over to carefully inspect a newborn perilla plant, her fingertips gently brushing across the emerald green leaves as if treating a precious treasure. Yun Xiancheng pushed open the slightly old wooden door and leaned against the door frame, quietly admiring her back, his gaze gentle.

The morning light spilled down, plating a faint golden edge on her slender silhouette, setting off a sense of tranquility and peaceful Beauty. ”Not sleeping a bit more?” He asked with a hint of the laziness and hoarseness of someone who had just woken up, his voice low and magnetic.

Xiao Yi Xian turned her head at the sound, a few specks of dirt on her cheeks, making her look even more natural and simple. She curved her brows and eyes at Yun Xiancheng, her smile bright and moving. ”Herbs can’t wait for sleeping in.”

She straightened up and gently patted the dirt off her hands, her movements crisp and neat. ”Porridge is warming on the stove, and Linger is watching the heat.”

Yun Xiancheng said softly, walking into the courtyard and picking up the water ladle placed in the corner.

He walked slowly to the stream, the clear stream water reflecting his image. Compared to three months ago, there was a little less sharpness between his brows and a little more gentleness. Life in the valley was simple and plain, like spring rain moistening things silently, making one’s pace of life slow down a bit.

Subsequently, he returned to the courtyard carrying a ladle full of clear water. Linger had already walked out of the kitchen carrying three bowls of steaming white porridge. The white rice porridge was boiled thick and soft, with a few bright red goji berries sprinkled on the surface, its color enticing.

”Taste it, today I specially added some licorice tips freshly picked by Sister Xiao Yi Xian, to clear heat and detoxify.” Linger handed one of the bowls to Yun Xiancheng, her tone gentle.

Yun Xiancheng took the porridge bowl; the steam obscured his vision, making it appear even warmer in the blur.

The three sat around the stone table in the courtyard, silently drinking their porridge, enjoying this rare tranquility.

All around, there were only the slight sounds of bowls and spoons clashing occasionally, and a few crisp and pleasant bird calls from afar, further setting off the quietness of the valley.

”Marrying you as my wives, I am truly very happy.” Yun Xiancheng suddenly spoke, his tone sincere and emotional.

Hearing such straightforward and passionate words, Xiao Yi Xian was no longer as shy and blushing as she was at the beginning; instead, she felt it was only natural, and a faint sense of pride welled up in her heart.

Linger, too, was moved and unable to contain herself; these three months of life had been quiet and leisurely.

Moreover, the young lady had not hesitated to actively pursue Yun Xiancheng, and at this moment, the progress of winning him over had already reached the stage of sleeping in the same bed.

Regarding the matter of marriage, the two Young ladies no longer had any resistance, although at this moment, they were not truly married.

”In the afternoon, I want to go to that cliff on the south side to take a look.” Xiao Yi Xian put down her bowl and suddenly said.

”I heard that a medicinal herb called ’stone cicada flower’ grows there, which is a necessary raw material for my practice of refining poison.”

Yun Xiancheng raised his eyes and looked at her with a hint of worry. ”I will accompany you.”

”The road is rugged and difficult, and the cliff is slippery; I will go myself.”

”I will accompany you.” He repeated it again, his tone calm and firm, carrying an air that brooked no refusal.

Xiao Yi Xian looked up at him, and in the end, did not insist further, the corners of her mouth slightly lifting, outlining a sweet arc. ”Okay.”

”Then I will watch the house.” Linger said softly, as if a bystander.

Yun Xiancheng looked at her appearance and rubbed her head.

In the afternoon, sunlight pierced through the dense and lush canopy, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground, swaying gently with the breeze.

Yun Xiancheng walked in front to clear the way, holding a sharpened wooden stick in his hand, pushing aside the vines and branches blocking the path.

Xiao Yi Xian carried a medicine basket on her back, following closely behind, her steps light and steady.

”It is here.” Xiao Yi Xian raised her hand and pointed to a steep and precipitous cliff in front, her tone carrying a hint of excitement.

The cliff was damp and cold, its surface covered with thick moss, and only in some small crevices did some weeds grow tenaciously.

”The stone cicada flower usually grows in the damp crevices of the cliff on the shady side, and its color is light purple.”

Xiao Yi Xian raised her head and searched carefully, not missing any corner.

Yun Xiancheng carefully examined the cliff in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed, seemingly a bit worried. ”It is too high, and also too slippery.”

”I will try.” Xiao Yi Xian said, reaching out to grasp a protruding rock that looked like a foothold.

Yun Xiancheng was quick-eyed and fast-handed, grabbing her wrist and stopping her action. ”Don’t move, it’s too dangerous.”

His palm was broad and powerful, carrying a scorching temperature, firmly holding her slender wrist. Xiao Yi Xian’s heart jumped, and subconsciously she wanted to retract her hand, but it was held even tighter by him.

”I will go up.” Yun Xiancheng let go of her hand and turned to look at the cliff, his expression focused and serious.

He observed carefully for a moment and soon found the place where the stone cicada flower might exist; he quickly had a clue. ”You and Linger wait here for me, don’t move around.”

After speaking, a pair of cloud wings, as bright as moonlight, suddenly unfolded from behind Yun Xiancheng.

His figure was as light as a swallow; in an instant, he soared into the air, like a nimble bird, flying towards the sky.

Xiao Yi Xian looked up at his figure, her heart tightening involuntarily, filled with worry.

Sunlight spilled down, reflecting on his focused and handsome profile, with distinct lines and sharp angles, further highlighting his firmness and decisiveness.

Yun Xiancheng soon found a crevice and carefully reached his hand in to grope.
