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

214: Section 214This Dou Huang expert Beauty looked at the bright red, quite ”mundane” snack in front of her, and hesitated slightly.

But under her daughter’s expectant gaze and Yun Xiancheng’s gentle stare, she still took it. She copied her daughter’s actions, carefully taking a small bite. A sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth, a simple and direct flavor she had never experienced before.

A trace of novelty flashed in her beautiful purple eyes, and then, she actually began to taste it in small bites, just like a little girl. The corners of her mouth beneath the veil seemed to lift slightly.

Watching this mother and daughter who both loved sweets, Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but feel a wave of warmth in his heart. He handed candied haws to Xiao Yan, Lin Fei, and Snow Charm.

Lin Fei and Snow Charm took the candied haws, both wearing shy smiles on their faces, and secretly peeked at Yun Xiancheng from the corners of their eyes.

The group continued to walk through the bustling night market, each holding a skewer of candied haws. Lin Fei remained that enthusiastic guide, chattering away while introducing various local snacks and interesting stalls.

Yun Xiancheng bought them one by one, injecting investment from the Imperial Capital into the economy of Blackrock City.

Gradually, everyone became more familiar with each other. Without realizing it, Lin Fei and Snow Charm had come very close to Yun Xiancheng—at least for the two Young ladies, this distance was very close.

Yun Xiancheng seemed to notice their movements and suddenly reached out again, holding both of their hands at the same time. ”Ah!”

The two Young ladies were still shy, but they didn’t pull away like the first time.

Xiao Yan saw this scene and nodded. As expected, Senior Brother’s progress in conquering them was quite good.

Purple Wing watched this scene, then looked at Xiao Yan, and touched her chin once again. ”With conditions as good as Xiancheng’s, these two Young ladies are quite persistent.”

The group walked to the end of their journey. This was no longer a commercial pedestrian street, but a closed residence. This residence was not small, and it was evident that its owner was wealthy.

”Purple Wing, keep a close watch later. If that guy dares to run, use your Dou Qi to catch him.”

”Hmm, the person inside isn’t very strong; I don’t even need to be too serious.” Yun Ziyi nodded.

Lin Fei and Snow Charm were stunned; they didn’t seem to have accepted the transition from a pleasant stroll to breaking into someone’s home to kidnap them.

Chapter 126 Old thing, return my item! (Fifth Update)

”Old thing, return my Young Sect Master token!”

With an angry shout, accompanied by a crisp slapping sound, Yun Xiancheng mercilessly slapped a wretched-looking old man across the face.

This old man was none other than Gu Te, the younger brother of the famous Pill King Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire.

”Heh, your mouth is quite tough? Looks like your skin is itchy, and you’re asking for a beating!”

The old beast was tied up tightly with purple Dou Qi ropes, like a zongzi waiting to be slaughtered, with his own smelly sock stuffed into his mouth.

He could only make indistinct ”wuwu” sounds and had just tried to struggle to say something. ”Bang!”

Yun Xiancheng didn’t give him any chance to speak at all. A heavy, powerful punch slammed fiercely into his face, instantly collapsing his nose bridge and splattering blood, directly disfiguring him.

Immediately following, Yun Xiancheng’s elbow sank downward with the momentum, fast as lightning, and a vicious elbow strike accurately smashed into the base of Gu Te’s ear!

”Puff!” With a dull thud, accompanied by the faint sound of bone fracturing, one of Gu Te’s ears was actually torn off by this violent strike, dripping with blood!

”What an elbow strike like a blade, clean and neat.”

Watching from the side, Yun Ziyi saw Yun Xiancheng’s skilled and ruthless fighting technique and actually nodded slightly, a trace of appreciation flowing in her beautiful purple eyes. ”How did this person provoke you?” She then asked lazily, her tone indifferent, as if the bloody scene just now was commonplace.

The few Young ladies watching, including Lin Fei and Snow Charm, also cast curious gazes over, obviously wanting to know what deep hatred existed between this old man and Yun Xiancheng.

”This old thing, taking advantage of when I was young and ignorant, used sweet talk to trick me out of that Young Sect Master of Yunlan Sect token that symbolizes my status.” Yun Xiancheng didn’t shy away from exposing family scandals and stated the reason directly.

After all, in his view, the Young ladies present would sooner or later be part of his harem and were his own people, so there was no need to hide anything.

”This person...” Lin Fei frowned, looking at the dying old man on the ground, a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes. ”What’s his background? He doesn’t look like a good person.”

”The younger brother of Pill King Gu He.” Yun Xiancheng said indifferently, and with a backhand, slapped Gu Te’s swollen, bleeding face again.

Lin Fei and Snow Charm were stunned; they never expected that the brother of the famous Pill King Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire would be right in front of them—and appearing in such a miserable state. At this moment, Gu Te was already dying, the wound where he lost his ear was still spurting blood, and he looked like a ragdoll, clearly not long for this world.

”Your mouth is really tough,” Yun Xiancheng looked at his refusal to speak and sneered. ”After suffering such torture, you still won’t open your mouth to beg for mercy.”

”Hmm... Senior Brother,” Xiao Yan, who had been observing from the side, gently tapped Yun Xiancheng’s waist and whispered a reminder, ”Look at his mouth... Perhaps he wanted to confess long ago, but he was blocked.”

Only then did Yun Xiancheng notice the foul-smelling cloth in Gu Te’s mouth. He pulled it out with his Dou Qi.

”Ah! My little ancestor! Spare my life!” As soon as he could speak, Gu Te began to wail like a slaughtered pig, tears and snot streaming down his face, and cried out miserably, ”Isn’t... isn’t it just that I tricked you out of your token as a joke when you were young and ignorant! Do you... do you have to beat an old man like me so miserably? Wuwuwu...”

”Stop acting pitiful here, old thing,” Yun Xiancheng’s eyes were cold, and his tone was eerie: ”You’ve snuck out on your own for many years and don’t even acknowledge your brother. Even if I finish you off here today, presumably no one will know Gu Te is dead for decades.”

His words were filled with killing intent; he already didn’t take Gu Te’s life seriously. Yun Ziyi observed Yun Xiancheng’s cold demeanor toward outsiders from the side and nodded inwardly. Hmm, there is indeed no need to show mercy to enemies and irrelevant outsiders; if they need to be killed, kill them, cleanly and neatly. It seems she had learned another survival rule of the human world from this little guy.

”Don’t! Don’t, don’t, don’t! Little ancestor! Young Sect Master of Yunlan Sect! I’ll confess! I’ll confess everything! The token! The token is at...”

Seeing the cold, genuine look in Yun Xiancheng’s eyes, Gu Te was scared out of his wits; how could he dare to gamble that the other party wouldn’t really kill him? He hurriedly spilled everything like beans: ”I... the treasures I’ve collected over the years, as well as your token, are all... all hidden over there! There’s a secret compartment behind the cliff in that direction! You... feel free to take it all! I only beg you to raise your hand and spare my dog’s life!”

He pointed with a trembling finger toward a seemingly ordinary cliff not far away.

”Wouldn’t it have been better to be like this sooner?” Yun Xiancheng nodded and walked toward the direction Gu Te pointed. After a few steps, he paused, seemingly not believing Gu Te’s words, and then looked thoughtfully at Yun Ziyi beside him.

Yun Ziyi understood and nodded slightly, flicking her jade finger gently. ”Snap!” A crisp finger-snapping sound rang out.

Almost at the same time, the purple Dou Qi ropes binding Gu Te tightened violently, and then, as if possessing life, twisted and cut wildly. ”Ah—!” A short and shrill scream came to an abrupt end.

Gu Te, who was alive just a moment ago, was instantly stirred into several blurry chunks of flesh by the violent Dou Qi, scattered all over the ground. The scene was extremely bloody.

However, at the very moment Gu Te was strangled! ”Boom!” A deafening roar suddenly erupted from the direction of the cliff Gu Te had previously pointed to!

A tyrannical energy fluctuation, filled with a destructive aura, suddenly erupted like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, rushing straight toward Yun Xiancheng, who had just walked up to the cliff face!

This energy fluctuation had unexpectedly reached the Dou Wang level!

Evidently, that old guy Gu Te had hidden such a sinister trump card!

He was holding onto the idea that if he was going down, he would take Yun Xiancheng with him.

”Watch out!” Yun Xiancheng’s pupils constricted.

Subconsciously, he cared for the Young ladies beside him, but someone was faster than him!

Little Yaner, who had been standing obediently beside Yun Ziyi, let out a delicate shout the instant the energy erupted, her small figure rushing out like a cannonball!

She clenched her pink fists, the Dou Master level Dou Qi around her body erupting without reservation, and she slammed a punch fiercely toward the incoming energy!

Bang!

The two powerful energies collided violently, producing a deafening roar as violent shockwaves swept in all directions!

After all, Little Yaner had only just reached the Dou Master level, and her foundation was still shallow.

Having hastily clashed head-on with an attack that had been premeditated by a Dou Master, she immediately let out a muffled groan.

Her small fist was torn and bleeding, and her body was sent flying backward by the force.

Just at this moment, Yun Ziyi’s figure appeared behind Little Yaner like a ghost, her jade hand reaching out gently.

The aftershocks from the collision and the subsequent incoming energy were completely dissolved into nothingness.

Her movements were understated, fully displaying the composure and power of a Dou Huang expert.

”You were quite good at enduring.”

Her daughter was injured, which touched upon a certain bottom line of hers, making her mood uncharacteristically bad.

Yun Ziyi snorted coldly, looking at Gu Te, who had already been turned into minced meat, a cold glint flashing in her eyes:

”Willing to shatter your own body just to drag someone down with you. It seems the feud between you two is even deeper than I imagined?”

Yun Xiancheng stepped forward quickly, catching the flying Little Yaner steadily in his arms.

Seeing her injured little fist, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

He grabbed her small, torn, and bleeding hand, and without hesitation, lowered his head to gently lick the wound with the tip of his tongue.

”Brother… it hurts.” Little Yaner pouted, her eyes red, and said with a wronged expression.

”Anyway, let’s loot the body. It’s okay, it’s okay, Yaner is the bravest,”

Yun Xiancheng said while gently tending to the wound, comforting her softly, ”Brother will lick it for you, and it won’t hurt soon.”

Feeling Yun Xiancheng’s lips and tongue, the Little Lion’s face was soon filled with a happy smile.

Xiao Yan was already accustomed to this; she walked forward and checked the condition of the meat chunks:

”It’s probably because Senior Brother’s previous punches were too heavy, causing him to harbor hatred and launch a counterattack before he died.”

”Oh, humans are actually so unafraid of death; that is quite impressive.” Yun Ziyi nodded, saying nothing more.

The two of them seemed quite calm regarding Gu Te’s tragic death, one could even say they were indifferent, clearly deeply influenced by Yun Xiancheng’s philosophy of ”no need to show mercy to enemies.”

However, Lin Fei and Snow Charm on the side were completely stunned, their small faces pale, and their bodies trembling slightly.

”Dan… Pill King Gu He’s brother. Just… just like that, he died?”

It took a long while for Lin Fei to stutter out this sentence, her voice trembling.

”That is the Pill King’s brother! A person of some status in the Jia Ma Empire, and he was… he was just easily… turned into minced meat?!”

Snow Charm cast her gaze toward Yun Ziyi, who had acted decisively and possessed an unfathomable aura.

Forcing down the shock in her heart, she slowly opened her mouth, her voice filled with a trace of awe and disbelief:

”Senior… Senior, are you a Dou Huang expert?”

Upon hearing this, Yun Ziyi turned her head to look at Snow Charm, her purple eyes revealing a rare trace of gentleness.

For these two Young ladies who, in her eyes, would sooner or later join Yun Xiancheng’s ”harem,” her attitude was indeed much better.

She nodded gently, acknowledging it: ”Mm, Snow Charm.” She even naturally called out Snow Charm’s name.

Hearing a genuine Dou Huang expert call her name so naturally, Snow Charm felt her heart skip a beat.

She was so shocked she nearly lost her voice, quickly lowering her head, not daring to look directly at the other party again.

The Little Lion’s hand had already healed, and she was snuggled in her mother’s arms, asking for a hug.

Seeing this, Yun Xiancheng stepped forward, reached out again, and gently stroked Snow Charm’s snow-like long hair, comforting her softly:

”It’s okay, it’s okay… don’t be afraid, we are all our own people.”

This time, Snow Charm did not shyly retreat like before, nor did she refuse.

Her body just stiffened slightly, then relaxed, letting that warm, large hand stroke the top of her head.

The young lady raised her head, looking at Yun Xiancheng’s face, which wore a gentle smile, and her fair little face flushed red again.

”I will keep this secret,” she said.

Only then did Lin Fei notice the situation, cold sweat appearing on her small face.

Her and Snow Charm’s current self-perception was just as little fans; at this level, they were still just ”outsiders.”

Moreover, they didn’t know that Yun Xiancheng’s team had long regarded them as potential ”little sisters.”

”Wuwu! I will also keep the secret!” Lin Fei said hurriedly, fearing being seen as an informant.

Yun Xiancheng also stroked her little head:

”In this world… only one’s own people are worth trusting,” Yun Xiancheng said leisurely.

These words were so vague, making the two Young ladies nervous.

”However, it doesn’t matter. Of course, you are still our own people, my two little fans.”

Yun Xiancheng switched back to the ”good cop” role, speaking gently like a spring breeze, which made his two little fans’ hearts go up and down.

Now that the two Young ladies shared a secret with them, they would naturally become part of their side, making it more convenient to get close.

For Yun Xiancheng, the real trophy of strangling the old man in front of the two Young ladies was these two beauties.

”Stop teasing them, Senior Brother. Let’s go check this guy’s collection.”

Xiao Yan appeared in time, helping the two little fans, who wore expressions of relief.

Yun Xiancheng nodded, then followed his perception to find a tightly hidden treasure vault.

Inside were all sorts of rare treasures that Gu Te had swindled and scammed over the years.

There were many medicinal herbs that could refine quite a few pills for cultivation.

”The materials for the Dou Ling Pill and Huangji Pill are all here… Tsk tsk, there’s really quite a lot of stuff. There’s also this spirit liquid, which can be used for your Little Lion. And these materials, I can further perfect Yaner’s xuan heavy ruler.”

Medicine Lady looked at these materials and said in Yun Xiancheng’s mind, ”The Ice Spirit Condensing Spring is complete.”

Xiao Yan held a small bottle in her hand, full of smiles.

”Then the preparations for absorbing the Heavenly Flame are complete,” Medicine Lady said slowly.

”I will be refining pills for Yaner during this period. You can keep it for a few days and eat your little fans.”

”By the way, prepare some gifts for the bad Disciple’s wives. Oh, a Master as good as me is rare to find.”

Medicine Lady hid in Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan’s minds and said leisurely.

”This Disciple will certainly honor you again,” Yun Xiancheng said in his heart. Medicine Lady then fell silent.

Hmm, it seems she has tasted the sweetness.

The big and small Lions didn’t have much desire for the heavenly treasures, only nodding lightly and looking at the collection.

But Snow Charm and Lin Fei were completely stunned.

All sorts of treasures that were dazzling to them were piled up like junk.

Yun Xiancheng handed the task of counting the treasures to Xiao Yan, while he came to the side of the two Young ladies, Lin Fei and Snow Charm.

”If there is anything you need, feel free to take some.” Yun Xiancheng looked very generous.

But even though Yun Xiancheng was generous, the two Young ladies didn’t dare to actually take anything.

”Forget it… our alchemy level is not very profound, and even if we took them, it wouldn’t be enough to refine pills. It’s better not to take them,” Lin Fei refused flatly.

”Chenger, I will be refining pills these few days. I will grant you a few days of leisure to play with your two little fans,” Medicine Lady added leisurely in Yun Xiancheng’s soul.

Yun Xiancheng nodded:

”That makes sense. Since that’s the case, I will stay here for a few days and accompany you in your cultivation.”

”Really?!” Lin Fei looked very happy.

”Human society is very lively.”
