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

234: Section 234”Just eat it.” Yun Xiancheng didn’t dwell on the form of address with her, but simply rubbed her hand gently, his tone carrying a hint of unquestionable authority, ”Just do it for Qing Lin.”

Green Savage looked at the Huangji Pill in her palm, which emitted an enticing aroma, and then at Yun Xiancheng’s deep and serious eyes, her mind filled with a flurry of thoughts.

She was someone who believed in repaying kindness. Facing such a grand gift, her heart was not without its ripples.

Especially... when she saw the pure ”earnestness” in Yun Xiancheng’s eyes, untainted by any impurities... How could he, how could he so easily say such heart-palpitating words?

By his side, he clearly already had so many beautiful wives and concubines... That was it.

Perhaps, precisely because he already possessed such a vast ”harem,” he didn’t mind having one more, two more, or even more. Green Savage’s heart was in a mess, like a lake surface blown by a gale, unable to find peace again.

This young gentleman was indeed very special. The bloody yet controlled ”birthday banquet” from their first meeting had left a deep impression on her. He was also very handsome, incredibly handsome.

As if a deity descended from the heavens, he did not seem to belong to the mortal world.

Under Yun Xiancheng’s gaze, which seemed to see through everything, Green Savage took a deep breath and finally swallowed the Huangji Pill in one gulp.

The pill melted upon entering her mouth, turning into a surging and pure torrent of energy that instantly flooded her entire body! ”Cultivate well.”

Yun Xiancheng did not disturb her; he merely sat cross-legged, facing her, quietly standing guard. Green Savage did not refuse.

She knew she had accepted his favor and had to repay him in her own way. She could clearly feel the intent contained within Yun Xiancheng’s calm gaze.

That intent was very clear. He wanted her.

He wanted her to become a member of his ”big family.”

But... she, Green Savage, had kept herself pure since her debut and had never been involved with any man... Amidst her tangled thoughts, the energy within Green Savage’s body was climbing at an astonishing speed! The medicinal power of the Huangji Pill allowed her to overcome the bottleneck that had troubled her for years,

as easily as if it were made of paper!

Peak Dou Huang!

When she opened her eyes again, the surging power within her made her unable to resist letting out a hearty low roar! She had succeeded! She had finally stepped into the realm of Peak Dou Huang!

However, when she opened her eyes, what she saw was Yun Xiancheng’s back; he had already stood up and was facing the cave entrance.

For some reason, a trace of unspeakable disappointment suddenly welled up in Green Savage’s heart. If only he were looking at her during this most important moment... Yun Xiancheng seemed to sense her emotions, turned around, and reached out his hand to her. ”Congratulations, Green Savage.”

Green Savage looked at that large and warm palm, her heart trembling slightly.

She could have stood up directly using her own strength, but as if possessed, she still reached out and took his hand.

His fingers were unexpectedly... very large and warm, carrying a reassuring power. Yun Xiancheng led her to the cave entrance, his gaze looking into the distance, toward the direction of the Jia Ma Holy City.

Over two years ago, he and Yanran, two little fellows who were merely Dou Practitioners, had left the Cloud Mist Sect and the Jia Ma Holy City with their own concerns, heading for Wutan City.

Over two years later, he was already a Dou Ling, surrounded by two Dou Huangs... His ”big family” had already begun to take shape.

In his perception, the family network was becoming increasingly lively. Every day, the Young ladies were sending text messages to each other for ”small talk,” and from time to time, he could hear them complaining, telling him to speed up the network.

And he knew that atop that Yun Lan Mountain that pierced the clouds, the one who had colluded with the Hall of Souls and was now about to come out of seclusion... Yun Shan, was also about to appear.

He had to possess the power to resist Yun Shan! He didn’t want to drag things out for too long.

Ideally... everything would be completely ended the moment he ascended the Cloud Mist Sect!

169 Late, late!

With only three short months left before the much-anticipated Three-Year Agreement, the scene of the Alchemist Convention in the capital of the Jia Ma Empire was bustling with people and a heated atmosphere. Lin Fei and Snow Charm, Yun Xiancheng’s former ”little fans” and current ”virtuous wives,”

were currently standing at the entrance of the venue, their faces carrying a hint of anxiety as they kept looking into the distance, seemingly waiting for someone.

Ya Fei, dressed in a gorgeous and elaborate long dress that fully displayed her mature charm, stood elegantly between the two of them. With a faint smile on her face, she softly comforted them:

”Don’t worry, they’re about to arrive.”

”But... Sister Ya Fei,” Lin Fei pouted, her tone carrying a hint of complaint.

”Yesterday in the family network, the Young Master and Sister Xiao Yan said they were almost here, but now the competition is about to start and we still haven’t seen them!”

Ever since that miraculous ”family network” was opened, these Young ladies who had shared the most intimate ”skin-to-skin contact” with Yun Xiancheng could vaguely perceive each other’s locations through this network and even engage in some simple mental communication.

Through this network, they could not only keep track of Yun Xiancheng’s whereabouts at any time but also judge his ”conquest progress” based on the number and status of newly joined ”sisters”!

Furthermore, only the Young ladies who had shared skin-to-skin contact with Yun Xiancheng—the most intimate kind—could enter the family network to send messages.

For example, Xun’er, because she hadn’t reached the final step, only had her name listed in the family network. She had unlocked the initial function of knowing locations but could not send messages.

”Alright, don’t wait any longer,” Ya Fei gently patted their shoulders and urged, ”The competition is about to start. Go down and participate quickly. I think they should be arriving very soon.”

Lin Fei and Snow Charm looked at each other. Although they were still anxious, they didn’t dare miss the competition, so they nodded and turned to walk into the massive Alchemist Convention competition venue.

Royal Plaza, as the venue specifically used by the Jia Ma Empire to host the Alchemist Convention, was extremely grand in scale, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of Alchemists refining pills simultaneously.

Of course, the number of participants in this competition didn’t reach that terrifying figure, but there were still over two thousand Alchemists registered, making for a spectacular scene.

On the viewing platform, big shots from various factions gathered.

Yun Yun, the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect, usually focused on her cultivation and rarely participated in such public viewing events. But this time, she made an exception.

There was no other way... who told her precious Disciple to participate in this competition?

She stood in a prominent position on the viewing platform, beside the guardian of the Jia Ma Empire’s royal family, the elderly but spirited Jia Xingtian—Old Man Jia. ”Hahaha! Sect Leader Yun, why hasn’t your kid Xiancheng arrived yet?” Old Man Jia stroked his beard and said cheerfully to Yun Yun, his tone carrying

a hint of teasing.

”Soon, soon.” Yun Yun had a helpless smile on her face; she didn’t know how many times she had answered this question today.

”Soon, soon... that’s probably just reaching the gates of the capital?” Old Man Jia nodded with a smile, then as if remembering something, said, ”By the way, I heard your kid Xiancheng brought back a decent Disciple this time?”

”Yes,” Yun Yun mentioned Xiao Yan, a soft smile appearing on her face, ”Consider her Yanran’s... well, childhood friend. Her name is Xiao Yan. Just a while ago, she broke through to the Great Dou Master realm.”

”Oh? A Great Dou Master? Truly impressive!” A flash of admiration crossed Old Man Jia’s eyes.

As they spoke, Old Man Jia’s topic suddenly shifted, his tone becoming somewhat suggestive: ”Sect Leader Yun, your kid Xiancheng, this year... he should be seventeen or eighteen, right?”

Hearing this, alarm bells rang in Yun Yun’s heart, and she immediately looked at him warily: ”Old Man Jia, you... what are you trying to do?” ”Hehe,” Old Man Jia gave a dry laugh and rubbed his hands together, looking like someone ”worrying himself sick over his own granddaughter.”

”It’s nothing, I just feel... my girl Yao Ye is getting on in years. She’s twenty-three or twenty-four this year, and she still hasn’t found a suitable—”

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun immediately understood Old Man Jia’s intentions.

She sneered inwardly. Wanting to target my Chenger? No way!

But her expression remained unchanged. Following Old Man Jia’s lead, she asked naturally, ”Oh? Is that so? Then when does Old Man Jia think... would be a suitable time for Yao Ye and Little Chengzi to go on a date?”

Now, it was Old Man Jia’s turn to be stunned!

He had originally thought that with his hints, Yun Yun would at least show some ”reserve” or ”difficulty,” allowing him to then propose a ”marriage alliance.”

But he hadn’t expected Yun Yun to be so direct, even mentioning a ”date”?! And from the sound of it, it was as if she wanted to ”marry off” her own Disciple?!

Old Man Jia couldn’t help but cough a few times, trying to hide his embarrassment. ”Ahem... Sect Leader Yun, do you really want to marry off your boy Xiancheng that much?”

Yun Yun looked at him with a strange gaze, as if looking at an idiot, and said as if it were a matter of course, ”That girl Yao Ye, The Eldest Princess, is already at the Peak Dou Ling level this year, right? Her talent isn’t bad either. Marrying my Chenger... she’s barely a match.”

”What are you saying!!” Old Man Jia was completely incensed, shouting with his beard fluttering and eyes wide, ”What do you mean ’marry your Chenger’?! It’s clearly the boy Xiancheng—”

”—who should marry into the family of my granddaughter Yao Ye!!”

”Hehe, how could I possibly marry off such an excellent and precious Disciple? If anyone is marrying into a family, it’s your princess marrying my Disciple!” Two of the Jia Ma Empire’s top powerhouses on the surface, two Dou Huangs, were actually arguing over their juniors’ ”marriage” at this moment.

On this viewing platform, like common market women, they traded barbs and sharp words, ”competing” over whose child was more excellent and who should ”marry” whom!

Because they were some distance away, they had to raise their voices. Thus, The Eldest Princess heard everything.

If outsiders saw this scene, their jaws would surely drop!

The Jia Ma Empire’s Eldest Princess, Yao Ye, was currently standing not far away. Watching her grandfather and the Sect Master of Yun Yun act like this, a helpless, bitter smile appeared on her face.

She had heard of his reputation but had never met him.

As The Eldest Princess of the imperial family and a princess who already held real military power, she had her own information sources. ”Enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven...”

She recalled the information on Yun Xiancheng.

Yun Xiancheng appeared in Yan City a month or two ago, bringing Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan. The three Young Sect Masters of the Cloud Mist Sect discovered the Mo family’s dirty secrets and enforced justice on behalf of Heaven, slaying the Mo Family Head.

”Enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven...”

Yao Ye silently repeated those five words in her heart, a hint of envy flickering in her eyes.

”How nice... to have that power, that courage, to follow one’s heart and punish those who do evil...” ”Your boy Cheng isn’t here yet; he’s going to be late!” Old Man Jia seemed to realize there was no point in arguing further and shifted the topic back to Yun Xiancheng.

His eyes darted around, and suddenly another ”idea” popped up. ”How about this, Sect Leader Yun! Let’s make another bet?”

”If your boy Cheng fails to arrive and is late before the Alchemist Convention begins... then he shall join my family and marry my Yao Ye!”

”If he arrives on time... well... then I’ll let Yao Ye marry into yours!” ”Deal!” Yun Yun agreed without even thinking.

Yao Ye watched her grandfather’s ”old prankster” behavior and Sect Leader Yun’s unhesitating response, feeling even more helpless.

She looked up at the sky, wanting to relax. As a result, she saw—

In the distant horizon, a pair of exquisite cloud wings radiating a faint glow were speeding toward the capital at an incredible pace.

[Recognition failed or blank page]

170 Yao Ye

”Is... Is that a Dou Huang?!”

In the audience, sharp-eyed spectators had already noticed the figures speeding through the sky and cried out in alarm. ”End of entry time... five seconds remaining!”

In the center of the venue, the referee responsible for timing announced the time with a hint of urgency.

Four! Three! Three!

At this critical moment!

A white figure, like a meteor piercing the sky, landed steadily within the competition grounds of the Royal Plaza!

Yun Xiancheng held Nalan Yanran in a princess carry, his robes fluttering elegantly as if he hadn’t descended from the heavens but had stepped out of a painting. Immediately following him, several figures also possessing wings landed almost simultaneously.

Yun Ziyi held Xiao Yan, Green Savage held Qing Lin, and the Little Lioness Yun Yan flapped her wings alone. Their movements were light and precise, not even kicking up a speck of dust upon landing.

”Time’s up!”

The timekeeper froze for a moment before suddenly reacting and announcing the end. They... they actually arrived at the very last moment!

”That gentleman in white... could he be the Young Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect?”

Someone recognized the unique attire of the Young Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect on Yun Xiancheng and speculated.

Yun Xiancheng was seventeen or eighteen this year, having shed his youthful greenness. He was tall, his face handsome, and his temperament extraordinary. Compared to when he left home two years ago, there was a world of difference.

At this moment, he was a Jade-faced gentleman, elegant and poised, truly like a Transcendent immortal descending into the mortal world.

”Yaner, you go and participate in the competition.” Yun Xiancheng set Nalan Yanran down and turned to the nearby Xiao Yan, speaking in a gentle tone. ”As for this competition—”

”I won’t be participating.”

He knew his own alchemy level. Although he had the Medicine Lady’s guidance, he never actually studied it. In such a large-scale competition, it would be difficult to achieve a good rank.

It was better not to participate at all.

Moreover, having finally returned to his long-lost hometown, he wanted to catch up with old friends and feel the joy of reunion. He naturally nodded slightly to the spectators who were in an uproar due to their appearance, as a greeting.

Two Young ladies suddenly rushed forward and hugged him in front of everyone. Yun Xiancheng calmly accepted the girls’ embrace.

”Lin Fei, Snow Charm, do your best in this exam.”

Yun Xiancheng rubbed the girls’ heads and smiled as he encouraged them. And then—

In the audience, many female spectators had nosebleeds from the sweetness of the scene. Some with low blood pressure fainted outright, while others even tried to jump down from the stands to hug Yun Xiancheng.

Instantly, the order of the competition grounds became chaotic, leaving the soldiers responsible for maintaining order with helpless expressions.

But in the capital, this Young Master of Yun Lan’s fame was too great. Handsomeness was his primary label. Currently, the most circulated image of him was a portrait from when he was fourteen. That portrait was already considered the finest in the world, though it still looked somewhat innocent.

Even so, it was basically a ”side dish” for many women in the capital practicing the Ziwei Art.

Now that he was seventeen and even more handsome, the sensation he caused was even more terrifying than before. This Young Master of Yun Lan’s smile could truly topple cities and ruin nations.

Of course, homosexuality was illegal in the Jia Ma Empire. Some gay men who tried to buy Yun Xiancheng’s portrait as a ”side dish” were arrested on the spot, sent to the army to have their heads shaved, and then gassed by the Izumo Empire’s Poison Masters during the war.

The most righteous episode for the Poison Masters.

Subsequently, he spread his cloud wings once more and flew straight toward the viewing platform with the Young ladies by his side—there, he would find the old friend he most wanted to see. ”Master! Long time no see!”

Yun Xiancheng arrived before the viewing platform, retracted his cloud wings, and greeted the familiar figure warmly. Yun Yun looked at her precious Disciple before her, her eyes filled with relief and longing.

”You rebellious Disciple, you’ve finally arrived!” she said reproachfully, yet her tone was filled with doting affection. Yun Xiancheng smiled and then began to introduce the Young ladies beside him to Yun Yun.
