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

255: Section 255The three Young ladies all blushed, their cheeks flushed, with a hint of shyness and surprise in their eyes. Their bashful appearance made one feel pity and love.

For some reason, Yun Xiancheng vaguely saw a hint of maternal instinct appear in their eyes, except for Little Lioness Yun Yan.

She just tilted her head curiously, looking endearingly naive.

Being young truly means no maternal instinct yet.

”Should I say that Queen Medusa only achieved this much after meeting Xiancheng?”

Yun Yun looked at Yun Xiancheng curiously, with a hint of inquiry and admiration in her eyes, and within that curiosity, there was also a touch of pride for her disciple. ”You could say that.” Yun Xiancheng didn’t feign modesty, admitting it frankly with a confident smile.

Cai Lin snorted softly in Yun Xiancheng’s consciousness space, her voice carrying a hint of tsundere, but she didn’t object. Because without Yun Xiancheng, she would have already been burned to death by the Alien Flame, so there was nothing to refute.

”The female leader of the Snake-People Clan? Her bloodline evolved? It seems my Lord also has some capabilities.”

Lü Man, who was beside them, looked at the Five-Star Dou Zong Cai Lin, roughly understanding what had happened. A hint of realization and surprise flashed in her eyes, and she thought to herself, in the future, there would probably be another sister related to snakes.

Pure, but it doesn’t matter. She has Qing Lin for dual combat, so her ecological niche is still unique. Moreover, the Snake-People female leader is not currently in the family network, not even nominally, so she’s not worth mentioning.

”Now that things are settled, I should probably take Qing Lin back to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.” Lü Man said softly, her tone carrying a hint of reluctance.

Yun Xiancheng, at some unknown moment, took her hand. A warm touch came from his palm, a warmth that seemed to melt all sorrow of parting, holding her tightly.

”Stay for a while longer.” A smile blossomed on his face, as if saying, ’With me here, you can’t go anywhere.’ Lü Man didn’t know Yun Xiancheng’s thoughts?

Her small face flushed, a hint of shyness in her eyes, and she playfully chided, ”You rascal.”

Of course, she only responded softly, but she didn’t object, letting him hold her hand. Her heart was already swayed, and that reluctance made her unable to refuse.

While the two were making a commotion.

Ying silently merged into Yun Xiancheng’s shadow again, like the most loyal guardian, silently, as if treating Yun Xiancheng’s shadow as her own territory, never to be separated.

”So where do we rest next?”

Yun Ziyi combed her purple, slightly disheveled fur, her voice carrying a hint of fatigue. ”Yun Lan Mountain is quite damaged now, let’s go back to Gama Emperor City first.”

Yun Xiancheng suggested, his gaze sweeping over the devastated Yun Lan Mountain. Its former glory was now a ruin, a sight that evoked sighs.

The Young ladies had no objection, nodding one after another. They knew that as long as he was there, it didn’t matter where they went. That trust bound them closely together.

Yun Yun looked back at Yun Lan Mountain, covered in battle scars. The former human habitation was now covered in smoke, the original buildings, and even the mountain itself, had been leveled, a scene of desolation that was shocking.

She smiled helplessly, ”The Cloud Mist Sect is finished.”

Then she saw Yun Xiancheng suddenly poke his head out and say with a serious expression:

”Wherever we are, that is Cloud Mist.” His voice was firm and powerful, as if carrying some magic, instantly dispelling the gloom in Yun Yun’s heart and making her eyes light up.

Yun Yun was stunned, her melancholic mood suddenly eased considerably.

”You child...” She covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes filled with tenderness and relief. ”Yes, that’s right.

217 Yunlan Academy

”If my husband intends to rebuild Cloud Mist, I will naturally do my best to help.”

Yao Ye wore a bright yellow dragon robe, dignified and luxurious, with a gentle smile on her face, her gaze falling on Yun Yun. After inheriting her ancestors’ power, she was already a One-star Dou Huang, exuding a faint majesty.

After the battle of Cloud Mist, Yun Xiancheng and others moved into Ya Fei’s newly built Yun Residence in the Emperor City. It was more luxurious and comfortable than their old residence in Wutan City. A hint of regret flashed in Yao Ye’s eyes, presumably because she regretted not being able to participate in the battle on Yun Lan Mountain.

However, this was harmless. When Yun Shan was killed, the Young ladies in the family network responded very actively. The resonance of Dou Qi and their thoughts allowed their power to also merge into Yun Xiancheng’s sword moves. How could one think they hadn’t tried hard enough?

”Cloud Mist? If possible, just restore the old buildings. As for more, I have no intention of doing it.” Yun Yun was currently sipping fragrant tea, listening to Yao Ye’s suggestion, and spoke slowly.

Having been the Cloud Mist Sect Master for the past decade or so, everything familiar turned into smoke in the end, leaving her somewhat lost and sad.

However, Chenger is still here, Nalan Yanran is still here, Yaner is still here. As long as they are all here, everything is still manageable. That warm bond will be enough from now on.

”Oh?” Ya Fei was serving tea and water to the Young ladies nearby. Hearing the conversation between Yao Ye and Yun Yun, she seemed to have an idea. Her phoenix eyes flickered, and she opened her mouth to speak:

”How about building an academy? To cultivate talents for Yè’er... and also to prevent the Cloud Mist Sect’s legacy from being broken.” Her voice carried a hint of shrewdness and deliberation.

”An academy?” Yun Yun pondered the suggestion for a moment, a hint of thought flashing in her eyes. Finally, she raised a practical question: ”That’s good, but we Cloud Mist don’t have many disciples left to be teachers.”

”I think I can be that teacher...”

Linger suddenly spoke, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s, with a hint of shyness.

She was sitting cautiously in her seat, appearing somewhat unaccustomed to being in the same hall with so many of Yun Xiancheng’s wives. Her careful demeanor made people feel pity.

Yun Yun looked at Linger, this small-town girl Yun Xiancheng brought back. At that time, she had adopted an attitude of treating everyone equally and had also taught her many of the Cloud Mist Sect’s cultivation methods and Dou Techniques.

”If the Cloud Mist Sect were still here, you would also be suitable to be my disciple.” Yun Yun sighed, placing her hand on her shoulder, her tone carrying a hint of regret and affirmation.

”Linger doesn’t crave anything, she just wants to be able to help her husband, to help everyone. That’s what Linger wants to do.” Although her voice was soft, it was full of determination and sincerity, causing the surrounding Young ladies to nod in agreement, their eyes filled with approval.

Xiao Yan summarized from the side, her tone cool and direct: ”After all... we are family.” Hearing this, the women nodded one after another. That unspoken understanding and recognition filled the entire space with warmth.

Seeing this, Ya Fei’s eyes rolled, and she immediately had an idea. She spoke, her tone carrying a hint of cunning: ”This academy, naturally, must be strict in recruiting disciples. After all, with the lessons learned from the former Cloud Mist Sect... disciples must be evaluated on their character, their cultivation, and more importantly, they must all be female disciples.”

”All female disciples?” Yun Yun was startled, seemingly not understanding the deeper meaning of Ya Fei’s words, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Seeing Yun Yun’s expression, Ya Fei smiled, a cunning glint in her phoenix eyes: ”Naturally, they must all be female, and they must be dignified in appearance, outstanding in temperament, preferably the kind... who are unmarried.”

”Hoo hoo, it can be like this?” Lü Man sat cross-legged on the futon, a hint of understanding and peculiarity flashing in her eyes, and chuckled, ”This isn’t an academy, it’s clearly a concubine training class for husband!”

”This...” Yun Yun didn’t expect Ya Fei to be so ”sensible,” guessing her thoughts so thoroughly. For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond, and a blush couldn’t help but creep onto her face.

But the Cloud Mist Sect isn’t a cannon fodder sect!

The women were at a loss and could only look at Yun Xiancheng.

Yun Xiancheng, who was beside them, was leaning back on the sofa, looking at two smaller lolis.

Qing Lin and Little Lioness had grapes in their mouths, and the two lolis glared at each other, both vying to feed grapes to Xiancheng.

Xiaoer was perched on Yun Xiancheng’s neck, watching the actions of the two ”sisters,” seemingly learning something.

He felt the gazes of the women on him, thought for a moment, and pulled Little Lioness and Qing Lin into his arms. Then he kissed Qing Lin, taking the grape.

The grape mixed with the girl’s sweetness. Yun Xiancheng looked at the blushing Qing Lin and gently pinched her nose.

Afterward, Yun Xiancheng looked at Little Lioness again, and before he could do anything, Little Lioness proactively kissed him.

The other Young ladies watched Yun Xiancheng’s interaction, each with her own thoughts.

Among them, Heavenly Moon looked the most displeased. Out of her princessly reserve, she didn’t use her physical advantage to get close like Qing Lin and Yun Yan. But precisely because of this, she missed a perfect opportunity.

The expressions of the other girls varied. Seeing Yun Xiancheng like this, they might as well continue to attend to some serious matters. ”Ahem, are we discussing the Yunlan Academy?”

Yun Xiancheng, sensing the subtle atmosphere, quickly cleared his throat and brought the topic back on track. His gaze swept over Ya Fei, then looked at Yun Yun, and said:

”All female disciples. Hmm, that’s fine, but these types of appearances are out of the question.”

It was fortunate that this was the Fighting Qi Continent, a medieval world, where most people received traditional virtuous and gentle education, and there were few rebellious types.

Before he finished speaking, he casually tossed out several portraits. The people in the portraits had varied appearances, yet they all shared an uncomfortable common trait.

One of them was clearly the face of a certain classic, unspeakable ”Fu Moumou” from his previous life, carrying an indescribable air of meanness and malice. ”So ugly,” Qing Lin said bluntly, her small face filled with disgust.

”Just looking at them, I can tell these people are rather mean-spirited,” Nalan Yanran couldn’t help but say, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

”Ahem, Yanran, don’t judge a book by its cover,” Yun Yun gently reminded her from the side, although she herself found those faces somewhat unsettling. ”But their overall aura just feels strange.” Yanran felt a little wronged, pouting her lips; she was only speaking based on intuition. Ya Fei and Gu Yue understood the art of judging people, and physiognomy was one method.

Unlike the superficial appearance of the face, physiognomy is a concentrated reflection of personality and habits, an externalization of inner temperament.

Even with the same face shape, different habitual movements and the resulting temperament formed by later upbringing can lead to extremely vast differences among people with that same face shape.

The types of physiognomy Yun Xiancheng presented were practically the embodiment of negative traits like malice, cunning, and treachery, making people instantly dislike them. ”That is natural. People like this absolutely cannot be allowed to disturb our Academy.”

Ya Fei said this, though no one knew what she was planning to do with Yun Xiancheng inside.

”Talents for governing a nation require great ambition. If such mean-spirited people are given administrative opportunities, they will only increase the burden on the nation and the family,” Yao Ye also spoke.

218 Younger Sisters

After the reconstruction matters of Yunlan Academy were settled, the atmosphere in the hall eased slightly, and Yao Ye’s gaze quietly turned towards Yun Xiancheng.

She gently parted her red lips and asked with a hint of hesitation, ”So, next... Xiancheng, are you going to leave the Jia Ma Empire?” Upon hearing this, Yun Xiancheng merely nodded lightly.

He calmly stated, ”Two years ago, I enrolled in Jia Nan Academy. Since my studies are not yet complete, I naturally must go there to continue my education.” Gu Yue heard this, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

She softly asked, ”Does a Dou King Expert actually need to enroll in school to study?”

Her tone carried a degree of disbelief, as a Dou King was already a renowned master in the Jia Ma Empire. ”Why can’t someone at the Dou King realm attend school?”

Yun Xiancheng countered casually, his tone matter-of-fact: ”I am only seventeen, nearly eighteen, in the prime of my youth. Is this not the time for study? ”I see, Lord Guan wants to go to the Academy to look for some young and beautiful younger sisters, right?”

In the crowd, someone whispered softly. Although the voice was quiet, it spread out like a ripple.

As soon as this was said, all the women in the hall covered their mouths and chuckled lightly, and the slightly solemn atmosphere instantly became lively. Yun Yun gently stroked her chin with a slender finger, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

A moment later, her gaze fell upon Linger and Nalan Yanran, and she finally made her decision: ”In that case, I will remain here and guard the Jia Ma Empire.”

She then looked at Purple Wing, who was half-reclining in the grand armchair, and asked, ”Purple Wing, what are your thoughts?” Heavenly Lion Yun Ziyi was currently half-leaning in the spacious grand armchair, her posture lazy and comfortable.

Hearing Yun Yun call her, she simply replied calmly, ”Wherever Xiancheng is, I will attend to him there.” Yun Yun looked at her carefree and comfortable appearance, and a hint of envy unconsciously appeared in her eyes.

After all, as the companion Yun Xiancheng personally brought back from the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Yun Ziyi’s life trajectory was almost entirely bound to him, free from the burdens of worldly trivialities.

She also envied Yun Ziyi’s ability to accompany Xiancheng without any worries; that pure and direct companionship was exactly what her heart desired, yet it was a luxury she sought but could not attain.

”There’s no need for the pain of separation.”

Although Big Lion Yun Ziyi was merely a transformed lion, precisely because of this, she could sometimes discern the awkwardness in human hearts. She spoke softly, ”When you feel lonely, just talk to Xiancheng directly; everyone can contact each other.”

The spiritual network Yun Xiancheng built for the family connected every one of them. ”Mhm.”

The Big Lion’s words were true. Yun Yun could only sigh lightly in the end, instructing, ”Take good care of Xiancheng.”

”Hey, hey, hey, Great Sect Master Yun.” Green Savage, clad in a tight green outfit, rolled her eyes and looked helplessly at Yun Yun. She complained, ”Qing Lin and I are the ones who will be separated furthest from our husband, aren’t we?”

Heavenly Serpent Mansion was quite a distance from the Jia Ma Empire. If nothing unexpected happened, they probably wouldn’t be able to meet easily for a long time. As she spoke, her figure had unknowingly moved behind Yun Xiancheng, gently embracing him.

”Mm, mm, Husband, don’t bother with those worldly affairs. Come and spend the night with Qing Lin and me tonight.”

At this moment, all the Young ladies were present in the hall. Green Savage’s bold and direct declaration of love immediately caused the faces of the other Young ladies to blush slightly. Yun Xiancheng heard this, slowly turned his head, leaned down, and kissed Green Savage on the lips.

The two kissed passionately, lost in the moment, as if silently stirring the heartstrings of everyone present. This intense emotion made the surrounding air ambiguous and heated.

After a long while, their lips slowly parted.

Yun Xiancheng comforted her, ”Then wait until I become a Dou Zun... or until you, Lü Man, become a Dou Zun.”

Only experts have the right to speak. Heavenly Serpent Mansion is a Dou Zun power, and one Dou Zun holds great influence. If Lü Man could advance to Dou Zun, she could indeed do whatever she wished.

But Dou Zun was still too distant for Lü Man. Xiao Yi Xian had already walked up to Yun Xiancheng.

Dressed in a simple, elegant skirt, she stood barefoot on the dustless wooden floor, her eyes full of determination and attachment, stating frankly, ”I want to go with you. I don’t want to be separated from you.”

”Mhm, we will go together.”

Yun Xiancheng stood up, gently embraced her, and also began to kiss her passionately.

After a while, Xiao Yi Xian, blushing, shyly slumped onto Yun Xiancheng’s lap, lowering her head and muttering softly, ”Everyone is here.” Although her words were quiet, they carried a hint of sweet reproach.

Unconsciously, the Young ladies in the hall had gradually gathered around Yun Xiancheng, surrounding him completely. ”Ahem.” Yao Ye clearly sensed the delicate fragrance spreading around.

She was somewhat familiar with this scent; it was the subtle fragrance naturally produced by the body during arousal.

Looking at Heavenly Moon’s eager expression beside her, she spoke softly with a hint of encouragement, ”Yue’er, go ahead. Everyone is like this, there’s no need to be shy.”

Since her older sister was so open-minded, Heavenly Moon no longer pretended to be reserved and prepared to move closer to Yun Xiancheng. However, she found that the area was now overcrowded, completely blocking Yun Xiancheng, making it impossible to squeeze in.

Just then, Green Savage and Yun Yun met with opposing fists, Dou Qi swirling around them, seemingly having a confrontation.

”Ha! I am a One-star Dou Zong! The husband’s wife! Obtaining the husband’s priority usage rights is reasonable and compliant!” Green Savage declared self-righteously, a hint of smugness and challenge in her eyes.

”Heh heh, who here isn’t Chenger’s wife?” Yun Yun refused to back down. ”I am also Chenger’s master. He is leaving soon, and every minute and every second...”

”...is extremely precious. Exclusive possession is forbidden.”

The two women immediately exchanged blows rapidly, their Dou Qi colliding and producing muffled sounds. Needless to say, Green Savage, being a Dou Zong, had the upper hand and forced Yun Yun back several steps.

”Ahem.” Yun Xiancheng couldn’t stand it anymore either. He lightly coughed, attempting to stop their ”fight.”

As soon as he spoke, Green Savage and Yun Yun immediately distanced themselves, standing on the left and right, arms crossed over their chests, turning their faces away from each other, yet still harboring a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes.

”Master, Lü Man, today, let the younger sisters go first.”

Yun Xiancheng said this, his tone carrying a trace of helplessness and indulgence, yet also an undeniable authority. These words were extremely vague: did ’younger sisters’ refer to those younger than Yun Xiancheng, or the younger sisters of these elders? But Qing Lin, Little Lioness Yun Yan, and Heavenly Moon looked at their petite figures, realizing they were likely included. Nalan Yanran chuckled and quietly stood behind Yun Xiancheng, her eyes glittering with cunning light.

Xiao Yan, dressed in a black skirt, glared at Nalan Yanran and asked, ”Are you a younger sister? Why are you leaning on him?”

Nalan Yanran rolled her eyes and laughed, ”I am one year younger than Husband, so why can’t I be counted as a younger sister?” Her face was full of righteous confidence, making her impossible to refute.

Xiao Yan calculated her age internally. She was older than Yanran, and upon careful calculation, she was actually older than her Senior Brother. But Young Empress Xiao Yan would not be stumped by such a small matter.
