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

208: Section 208Medicine Lady wasn’t so easily fooled by Yun Xiancheng. Her little bottom wriggled indignantly against his neck. ’Alright, alright. My Master Yun is still fighting that Big Lion for her life. Let’s not waste time here.’

Yun Xiancheng changed the subject. Holding little Yun Yan, he called to Xiao Yan beside him: ’Come on, Yaner. Let’s go stop this unnecessary fight first.’

So saying, Yun Xiancheng, carrying the Little Lion, with Xiao Yan following closely behind, the two of them stepped out of the den shimmering with an amethyst-purple glow. The moment they exited the cave, a wave of intense residual energy from a violent collision washed over them, carrying scorching heat and fierce winds.

On the open ground not far away, Yun Yun’s cyan robes fluttered slightly. There were a few minor tears at the hem, and her aura was somewhat disordered, clearly having gone through a fierce battle. Across from her, the massive Amethyst Winged Lion King also bore several shallow sword marks on its body.

Her majestic purple fur was slightly singed. A pair of beastly pupils burning with fury and fighting spirit were locked firmly on Yun Yun. The violent energy around her body was gathering once more, clearly preparing to launch an even fiercer attack.

Yun Yun also took another deep breath, readying herself to unleash the Wind Spirit Fractal Sword. ’Hold!’

Yun Xiancheng’s clear voice rang out, infused with Dou Qi, clearly reaching the ears of the two experts locked in combat.

The sudden voice caused both Yun Yun and the Master of the Amethyst Winged Lion, who were poised to strike, to pause. Their sharp gazes turned in unison toward the source of the sound.

Seeing that it was Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan emerging unharmed, a flicker of surprise passed through Yun Yun’s eyes, and the tension in her aura relaxed slightly.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King’s gaze swept over Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan with vigilance, finally settling on the petite figure nestled in Yun Xiancheng’s arms—a small form with purple hair, beast ears, and features as delicate as carved jade.

That intimately familiar bloodline aura, yet in a completely different, diminutive human form.

The powerful Lion Lord’s massive frame trembled violently. Her majestic beast eyes instantly filled with disbelief, shock, and bewilderment. Her... her daughter?! How could she have become like this?!

She herself was already a Sixth-tier Magical Beast, yet she hadn’t completed her transformation. How could her daughter have transformed ahead of time?!

What stunned this mother even more was that her daughter, the heir who should have inherited the pride and independence of the Amethyst Winged Lion clan,

was at this moment clinging to a strange human male like a docile kitten, obediently nestled in his arms, her small hands tightly clutching his lapel, her little face nuzzling against his chest, appearing utterly dependent and intimately affectionate!

This... this completely overturned her understanding! How could her daughter be like this?!

The violent energy brewing around the Lion King dissipated by half in the face of this double shock. Her huge beastly eyes stared fixedly at her daughter in Yun Xiancheng’s arms... and at him who held her.

Her gaze was filled with earth-shattering confusion, incomprehensible shock, and a hint of barely perceptible scrutiny.

Seeing this scene, Yun Yun couldn’t help but laugh out loud. ’I knew it...’

She smiled slightly and also gave up on condensing her Dou Qi.

The chaotic phenomena in the surrounding heaven and earth, caused by their clash, gradually began to disperse.

’Amethyst Winged Lion King,’ Yun Yun spoke up, breaking the silence, ’since our juniors are so close, perhaps we could turn hostility into friendship?’

The Amethyst Winged Lion King looked at Yun Yun, then at the state of her own daughter. Finally, her gaze fixed on the man holding her daughter.

’You rebellious Disciple, don’t tell me you plan to spare not even the big one?’

The small figure was wrapped in Xiao Yan’s black outer robe, which was slightly too large for her. The purple-haired, beast-eared Little Lion stood on tiptoe, stretching out a small hand to gently stroke the Amethyst Winged Lion King’s soft yet resilient purple mane.

’Mama... they are... friends... good people.’ Her voice was soft and sticky, carrying a childlike certainty as she tried to defend her new friends.

The massive Lion King lowered her head. Seeing her daughter siding with outsiders like this, a complex mix of emotions flickered in her majestic beast eyes—helplessness, and a touch of warmth stirred by her daughter’s innocence.

On the other side, Yun Yun crossed her arms, watching Yun Xiancheng with leisurely composure. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a teasing, knowing glint, as if saying, ’See? I told you so.’

Feeling thoroughly uncomfortable under Yun Yun’s all-seeing, playful gaze, Yun Xiancheng hurriedly cleared his throat, trying to salvage his image. He quickly explained, ’Master, let me reiterate... I’m perfectly normal!’

Yun Yun lightly covered her red lips with a jade hand and let out a soft laugh.

’Alright, alright, no need to explain so much. Your Master understands, she understands.’ Her tone clearly indicated she ’understood’ something else entirely.

After a brief standoff and explanation, the atmosphere eased somewhat. Both sides withdrew their auras, entering a genuine negotiation phase.

Yun Yun and Yun Xiancheng approached the Amethyst Winged Lion King, choosing a flat piece of ground to sit cross-legged. As soon as Yun Xiancheng settled down, before he could even get comfortable, warmth filled his lap.

Yun Yan, like a young swallow returning to its nest, slipped right in, familiarly finding a comfortable spot to nestle. Her little head nuzzled against his chest once more.

’Lion Lord,’ Yun Yun spoke first, breaking the silence, ’the purpose of our visit is to propose an exchange, seeking your clan’s treasure—the purple spirit crystal.’ The Master of the Amethyst Winged Lion’s low voice rumbled, carrying a note of deliberation:

’This item condenses the essence of our clan. It takes twenty years to nurture a single piece, making it exceptionally precious. If you wish to exchange for it...’

Her gaze fell on her daughter’s petite human form. A flash of longing appeared in her beast eyes. Finally, she slowly spoke, her tone carrying a hint of inquiry: ’...do you have any more... Transformation Pills in your possession?’

Naturally, Yun Yun didn’t have any. She subtly shifted her gaze toward Yun Xiancheng.

Yun Yun understood in her heart. This Disciple of hers had traveled widely and had many methods, even capable of acquiring Earth-Rank Techniques. Perhaps he really had some in stock.

’Of course,’ Yun Xiancheng smiled slightly, retrieving another pill shimmering with a strange radiance from his storage ring—another Transformation Pill. ’Would the Lion King like to inspect it?’ he asked politely.

The Amethyst Winged Lion’s gaze fixed intently on the pill. Though she couldn’t discern its properties, she turned to look at her daughter. Little Yun Yan immediately understood, nodding vigorously. Then she lifted her little face.

Her amethyst-like eyes opened wide, looking at her mother with deep admiration. She pleaded softly, ’Mama, eat this... become... become pretty... play with Yun Yan...’

The voice was pitifully sweet, carrying a natural, endearing charm that could melt one’s heart.

Even Yun Yun beside them couldn’t help but narrow her eyes, watching the adorable little creature with amusement, finding it all quite entertaining. Seeing this, the last trace of doubt in the Amethyst Winged Lion King’s heart vanished.

Her precious daughter had already successfully transformed, personally verifying the pill’s miraculous effect. These humans surely wouldn’t try to deceive her with a fake now. ’Deal!’ she rumbled in agreement. ’You seek the purple spirit crystal this time... to nurture juniors, I presume?’

’Yes,’ Yun Yun nodded. ’For this one, and another who isn’t here today, a total of three pieces are needed...’ Yun Xiancheng added timely, ’I don’t need any. They are for my two junior sisters.’

He was already a Great Dou Master. The purple spirit crystal had limited effect on him, far less substantial than the ’in-depth and thorough’ dual cultivation with the girls. ’Then that’s two pieces...’ the Amethyst Winged Lion King said solemnly. ’Good. Then two purple spirit crystals in exchange for this Transformation Pill!’ The deal was struck, clean and simple.

Yun Xiancheng lightly tossed the Transformation Pill in his hand. It traced a streak of light, landing precisely into the gaping maw of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The Lion King swallowed it without the slightest hesitation.

Almost the instant the pill entered her stomach, a vast yet gentle energy erupted from within the Lion King’s body! Dazzling, resplendent purple light shot into the sky, completely enveloping her massive form.

The light was brilliant but not blinding, instead carrying a strange rhythm of life. The surrounding air seemed to solidify, leaving only the hum of flowing energy audible.

Within the purple light, the originally majestic and imposing lion-shaped silhouette began to rapidly contract, change, and elongate... Bones emitted faint cracking sounds, as if undergoing a complete physical reconstruction.

A moment later, the dazzling purple light receded like a tide. What was revealed in its place was no longer the awe-inspiring king of magical beasts, but a stunningly beautiful woman with a tall and graceful figure.

She had a cascade of purple hair, smooth as a waterfall, cascading down her body, covering most of it. A faint amethyst luster seemed to flow between the strands. Her skin was whiter than snow, appearing even more luminous and delicate against the backdrop of her purple hair.

Her features were exquisitely beautiful. Between her brows and eyes carried a natural laziness and allure, yet it did not lose the dignity befitting a ruler.

Most distinctive were her eyes, which remained that deep purple color. Only now, they lacked their former bestial ferocity, gaining instead the soft charm and depth of a mature woman.

Her figure was voluptuous and full, with curves that rose and fell enticingly. Every inch radiated a breathtakingly mature charm, like a perfectly ripe peach, exuding an innate, heart-stirring ’lazy maternal’ allure—lethally tempting in its languor.

She stood barefoot, her ankles slender. Freshly transformed into human form, she seemed somewhat unaccustomed to standing on two legs. Her body swayed slightly before she managed to steady herself.

[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]

She raised her hands in a slightly dazed manner, looking at her slender, fair fingers.

She lowered her head to examine her own curvaceous and flawless body. Her beautiful purple eyes were filled with astonishment and an indescribable, complex emotion. Yun Yun and Xiao Yan were also dumbfounded, never expecting that after the Lion King transformed, she would be such a stunning Beauty.

”Mommy!” Little Yun Yan broke free from Yun Xiancheng’s embrace, cheered, and ran over on her short legs. She hugged the waist of the purple-haired Beauty, tilting her small face up with eyes full of joy.

”Mommy... so pretty!”

Yun Xiancheng then draped a layer of clothing over the Lion King.

”You are quite good at caring for people. Is this how you tricked my daughter?”

She turned her face to the side, looking at Yun Xiancheng. Her voice carried a mix of laziness and maturity. ”That is not the case.”

Yun Xiancheng spoke the truth. The Little Lion explained: ”It was me. I initiated it.”

114 You fellow, do you have Master bring a new Beauty home every once in a while?

After the transformation, the originally tense atmosphere quietly melted away, replaced by a subtle harmony. At the very least, they no longer looked like opposing enemies ready to clash at any moment.

The purple-haired Beauty—the Big Lion after transformation—gracefully reached out her hand, making an inviting gesture to signal Yun Xiancheng and his group to rest for a while in her spacious and bright cave.

Although she and Yun Yun had indeed exchanged a small fight just now.

But for a proper Dou Huang expert, the wounds caused by the seemingly fierce collision earlier were no more significant than an ordinary person bumping their finger. They were inconsequential and healed back to normal in an instant.

”My daughter shares the same surname as you and your Master.”

The Big Lion leaned lazily against a huge piece of amethyst. Her beautiful purple eyes shifted, finally landing on Yun Xiancheng. Her tone seemed casual, but it actually held deep meaning.

She was not as innocent as her young daughter and keenly noticed the subtle connection between the name ”Yun Yan” and Yun Xiancheng. ”It... it was something my daughter chose herself...”

Hearing her mother mention this, little Yun Yan’s small face turned slightly red. She lowered her head shyly and muttered softly. Since her daughter had said so, the Big Lion naturally couldn’t continue to press the matter. She just nodded faintly: ”Yun, it is a nice image, symbolizing the sky and freedom. Very good.”

After saying this, she slowly stood up and walked to Yun Xiancheng’s side, taking steps that were slightly awkward from having just assumed human form, yet still elegant.

Her stunning face was close. A pair of charming eyes, still flickering with faint purple flames, stared intently at Yun Xiancheng’s eyes, her nostrils twitching slightly. As if confirming something, or perhaps having smelled something that made her feel pleasant, she took a gentle, deep breath.

In the Big Lion’s perception, the clean and refreshing scent on Yun Xiancheng was primarily like... like the warm, comforting aroma emitted when sunlight shines on one’s own soft fur on a sunny day.

At the same time, this main scent was strangely mixed with all kinds of elegant floral fragrances, as if it were the orchids in a mountain stream, or the... camellias in a courtyard? Or even the night-blooming cereus that quietly bloomed at night.

In short, it was a variety of indescribable yet exceptionally harmonious floral scents, layered and intertwined together, forming a unique and charming aroma.

She found that she... really liked this scent.

If she weren’t still maintaining the airs of an elder and the dignity of a monarch, perhaps she would have been like her daughter, unable to resist pouncing on him to rub against him, soaking up more of this comforting scent.

Yun Yun took in the subtle changes in the expression of the Big Lion, who was experiencing the joy of rebirth, and thought to herself: My precious Disciple, he wouldn’t really... really be planning to take this pair of Amethyst Winged Lion mother and daughter... ahem... into his harem, would he?!

On the other side, Xiao Yi Xian and Linger had been completely captivated by the cute little Yun Yan. They were surrounding her, teasing her furry ears and wagging little tail, with constant laughter and a peaceful atmosphere.

After smelling Yun Xiancheng’s body scent, the Big Lion gently tapped the amethyst tabletop beside her with her knuckles, then slowly opened her sexy red lips. Her voice carried a hint of lazy magnetism as she said: ”I don’t know why, but I feel that you, this young man... are quite good.”

A trace of imperceptible confusion appeared on her face. For the Amethyst Winged Lion King clan, which had no concept of ”reproduction” and relied solely on energy inheritance to pass on descendants, that subtle attraction to the opposite sex, stemming from life’s instinct, was a brand new and strange feeling that was hard to understand.

”However,” she changed the subject, her tone firm: ”Since my daughter is so close to you and is even willing to share your surname, it means you are definitely not a bad person.”

”Our mother and daughter have just transformed into human form. There are still many things we are not used to regarding this body and the human world.” ”Why don’t... you stay here for a while and accompany me and my daughter to get familiar with this feeling of rebirth? How about it?”

The Big Lion made a reasonable suggestion, her beautiful purple eyes carrying a hint of a sincere request.

Hearing this proposal, Yun Xiancheng thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement: ”That is only natural. You have just transformed into human form, which is equivalent to being reborn. You do indeed need time to adapt, and it is time to start learning human cultivation methods.”

As he spoke, Yun Xiancheng took an ancient-looking scroll from his storage ring and handed it to the Big Lion, introducing it:

A flash of shock appeared in the Big Lion’s purple eyes. Although she was a magical beast, as a Sixth-tier Magical Beast at the peak, standing at the top of the food chain in the Northwest Continent, she naturally understood what an ”Earth-Rank Technique” meant in this region. Its value went without saying.

It could be said that practicing an Earth-Rank Technique made the possibility of breaking through to the Dou Zong Realm in the future far greater than that of human experts practicing Black-rank High-grade Cultivation Methods.

”You are giving such a heavy gift upon our first meeting?” The Big Lion took the scroll. It felt warm to the touch, and she could feel the profound aura contained within it. She raised her eyes to look at Yun Xiancheng, her tone carrying a hint of scrutiny.

”Yun Yan likes me very much, and my principle of conduct has always been this—treat friends with the warmth of a spring breeze and help them without reservation.” Yun Xiancheng smiled frankly, explaining with a sincere gaze.

Looking at Yun Xiancheng’s gentle and harmless smile, as well as the aura he exuded that made her feel comfortable and close, the Big Lion felt the newly formed qi cyclone in her lower dantian jump slightly. A strange feeling surged into her heart once again.

In the end, she slowly nodded, accepting this generous gift and the goodwill: ”Then... let it be according to your kindness.”

She paused, a flash of determination in her beautiful purple eyes. She parted her red lips slightly, carrying a hint of a lazy smile, and said: ”Yun... is a nice surname. From now on, I shall be called... Yun Ziyi.”

Regarding Yun Xiancheng’s actions, Yun Yun not only did not stop him, but on the contrary, she was very much in favor of it. Although the Cloud Mist Sect was the number one sect in the Jiama Empire, its foundation was actually not solid. Due to the lack of inheritable Earth-Rank Techniques, there had only ever been one Dou Huang expert in charge throughout the generations.

If Yun Xiancheng could really establish a good relationship with Yun Ziyi, it meant that the Cloud Mist Sect would have an additional Dou Huang helper.

”Chenger, you stay here and accompany them. I still need to go back to teach Yanran.” Yun Yun said.

Yun Xiancheng hugged Yun Yun, feeling slightly reluctant, and said: ”Okay. However, Disciple has a request.” Yun Yun was somewhat surprised: ”What is it?”

”Well... Linger, come here.” Linger walked obediently to Yun Xiancheng’s side. ”Greetings, Sect Leader Yun.” She bowed.

”Linger is a new female companion I’ve met... However, Yaner and I are currently training, so it’s not convenient to bring her along. If possible, I would like to ask Master to take care of her for me.” Yun Xiancheng said.

Yun Yun heard this and looked at Linger: ”Linger? What do you think?”

”Linger does not wish to hold Young Master back. If Young Master is willing to make arrangements for Linger, Linger is eternally grateful.” Yun Yun calculated the time.

”Then I will take you to the Cloud Mist Sect. You can stay there for a while, and I can also guide your cultivation.” ”Thank you, Sect Leader...”

”You are Chenger’s... future bride, don’t be nervous.” Yun Yun patted her shoulder and smiled. ”Is there anything you want to say before parting?”

Linger nodded, ran to Yun Xiancheng’s side, and kissed his cheek. ”Young Master... Linger will miss you. Linger wants to be married by you...” Looking at her shy appearance, Yun Xiancheng hugged her and kissed her lips. ”Mm, I will.”

115 Big and Little Lion are about to be petted.
