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

300: Section 300However, completely unlike the pleasure of ”provocation” and ”demonstration” she had imagined... once Zi Yan actually took Yun Xiancheng’s warm, slightly calloused fingers into her own warm and moist little mouth, an incredibly wonderful and completely unfamiliar sensation, like an electric current, instantly spread from the tip of her tongue to her entire body!

First, she sensed a faint, salty taste, similar to sweat. But that saltiness was not unpleasant; instead, it carried a unique scent belonging only to an adult male, full of masculine vigor. Then, before she had time to savor that saltiness, a much richer and more intoxicating fragrance, as if countless exotic flowers and herbs had been mixed together, rushed into her nasal cavity like a burst dam! ”Desire?”

315 Dragon and Lion Competition. That fragrance was so pleasant, so intoxicating, that Zi Yan felt her brain becoming dizzy at that moment. Her little head, which had originally been filled with a spirit of ”competitiveness” and ”comparison,” instantly went blank, leaving only a most pure and primitive instinct—she wanted to smell more.

Soon, Yun Xiancheng’s long fingers were completely and unreservedly covered by the fragrant nectar of this petite future Dragon Emperor, who was equally gifted. On the other side, the instigator of this ”war,” Little Lion Yun Yan, looked at the pitiful ”Little Ancient Dragon” who had been completely led astray by her. In her beautiful large purple eyes, a mischievous and triumphant smile appeared, filled with the meaning of ”the grand plan has succeeded.” Hmph, fighting with me? Little one, you’re still a bit too green!

As the most considerate and sensible ”good wife” of her husband, Little Lion would naturally not really act as some so-called ”bad person.” Although her instinct, derived from being a Magical Beast, truly made her full of vigilance and hostility toward this ”fellow” before her, who looked so similar to her and whose bloodline seemed more noble than her own, in her heart, her husband’s feelings were always in first place! As long as it was something that could make her husband happy and pleased, then, let alone adding one more ”competitor,” even if it meant she had to join this annoying fellow... that would not be out of the question. Moreover, Little Lion had her own unique and absolute self-confidence... Hmph! That is, no matter how much you, this foolish brute-force king, jump around and get spoiled in the future! I, Yun Yan, as the legitimate main wife who entered the door earlier and has accompanied my husband for a long time, will never have my status in my husband’s heart easily surpassed by you, a latecomer!

I don’t know how much time had passed, but after a while, Little Zi Yan, who was immersed in that unprecedented, wonderful dual feast of taste and smell, suddenly felt that her body had become a bit strange. First, a strange, uncontrollable heat slowly rose from her Dantian Purple Palace, and then, like a prairie fire, it quickly spread throughout her entire body. Immediately after, under that heat, another incredibly intense and strange sensation, like a burst dam, rushed up frantically. What... what is going on? I... I seem... I seem to be... about to... I can’t hold it back...

Her exquisite little face, already flushed with shyness, instantly turned as red as a ripe tomato. She didn’t say any more nonsense, not even having time to say a proper goodbye. She just jumped up from the stone bench, then turned into a purple streak of light, and fled in a panic towards the direction of the bedrooms that had just been assigned, without looking back.

”Hehe... It seems our little girl still can’t quite accept this kind of welcome ceremony filled with love...” Xiao Xun’er walked up gracefully, gently covering her beautiful, smiling face with the round fan in her hand, and said with a chuckle in a teasing tone.

The ones who came out next were Xiao Yu and Xue Ni. As Xue Ni’s best and only good friend, Xiao Yu very proactively took on the task of hosting this newly arrived ”sister.” Furthermore, she guided her step-by-step, encouraging her to integrate into the glorious family of Yun Xiancheng’s harem, which was full of ”harmony” and ”friendship,” as quickly and without any misgivings as possible.

I don’t know what kind of ”magical” whispers Xiao Yu said to her. At this moment, Xue Ni’s plump, pretty face, which had been a bit reserved and uneasy, was already covered in a rosy flush. She lowered her head, her hands nervously clutching the corner of her clothes, not daring to even take a deep breath, much less look up at Yun Xiancheng who was watching her with a smile. Only occasionally, like a startled little deer, would she quickly and secretly glance at him, then immediately withdraw her gaze as if she had been electrocuted. That appearance, full of shyness and longing, was incredibly pure, looking just like a young girl who had just experienced her first love and was seeing her crush for the first time.

”Hmm... I see it’s getting late.” Just then, that energetic and vibrant voice rang out again. ”Let’s go and find out about the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda! I’m already a bit impatient! If that place can really accelerate our speed of becoming stronger, as Senior Sister Xue Ni said, then I can better help Senior Brother!”

Yun Xiancheng looked at her cute, high-spirited appearance, nodded gently, and said, ”That’s fine. Instructor Ruo Lin and Xiao Yi Xian should still be resting in their rooms at home. With them helping to watch, that little one, Zi Yan, shouldn’t be able to cause any trouble. Let’s go check out the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda first.”

Doing things as soon as they are decided has always been a fine tradition of Young ladies. Under the leadership of Yun Xiancheng, the Young ladies chattered away, preparing to leave this elegant manor together to explore the legendary cultivation holy land. Meanwhile, Little Lioness Yun Yan, who had just ”won a great victory,” lazily let out a big yawn. ”So sleepy...”

Today, she first had an incredibly intense ”in-depth exchange” with her husband that lasted for several hours, and then she spent so much time pitting her wits against that annoying newcomer, ”Zi Yan.” She felt that her already limited energy was truly exhausted.

She walked up to Yun Xiancheng, stood on tiptoe, and planted a loud, affectionate kiss full of love and reluctance on his handsome profile. Then, she said goodbye in a sleepy, sweet tone: ”Husband... and everyone, big sisters... then Yun Yan won’t go with you... Yun Yan... Yun Yan is so sleepy, I want... I want to go sleep for a while first...”

After saying this, she could no longer hold on and moved her weak little legs. In a flash, she slipped into the huge Master bedroom that belonged to Yun Xiancheng—a spacious room filled with his comforting scent. Then, like a cute kitten that had found its favorite little nest, she skillfully curled her petite body into a ball and lay on the soft and comfortable big bed that still retained Yun Xiancheng’s scent. She let out a satisfied, steady breathing sound and fell into a deep sleep.

316 Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda. The Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda, this giant black cone that looked like it had been plunged into the earth, stood quietly in the core area north of the Jia Nan Academy Inner Academy. Its tower body was forged from an unknown strange metal, and the entire structure presented a deep and cold dark black color. Even under the warm winter sunlight, it did not reflect any light at all.

”As expected... it’s this scent, it can’t be wrong.” Just as the group stepped into the vast open-air plaza centered on the giant tower, a crisp girl’s voice, filled with a hint of exclamation, quietly rang out deep in Yun Xiancheng’s mind.

[part:gemini-2.5-flash]

“The energy core supporting this Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda, which provides an almost cheating-like, miraculous cultivation effect, is none other than the Fallen Heart Flame, ranked tenth on the strange fire ranking list.

Fourth!”

Yao Chan, existing in soul form within Yun Xiancheng’s storage ring, spoke with a hint of excitement that only top Alchemists could truly understand.

With this period of recuperation and the continuous nourishment from Yun Xiancheng’s pure life energy, her soul origin had recovered significantly. Therefore, the things she could perceive were naturally much more than before.

“I never expected it. The Dean of Jia Nan Academy actually possesses such capability.” Her voice carried a touch of admiration.

“To be able to suppress a strange fire here and then use its primordial flame power to construct such an ingeniously crafted training pagoda, making it an excellent tool for training junior students and improving their cultivation.

“Hmm, this move is indeed quite interesting.” She critiqued it like an experienced gourmet.

“This ’heart flame’ refined from the heart of a strange fire indeed offers unimaginable great help to cultivators at the Great Dou Master and Dou Spirit stages.

It can not only refine Dou Qi but also temper their soul power subtly. However, once one’s cultivation reaches the Dou King Realm, the effect of this level of ’heart flame’ becomes ordinary; it can be used, but it’s just...

At this point, Yao Chan’s tone became somewhat worried again.

“Chenger, I’ve observed that most of these Young ladies around you are still in the Great Dou Master and Dou Spirit stages.

This Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda will be very useful for them. But for you, cultivating here won’t provide any significant benefits and will only slow down your original cultivation rhythm.

Yun Xiancheng merely smiled gently at her words, and in his heart, he softly replied with a tone full of indulgence and certainty, “Master, you worry too much.”

“For me, if the Young ladies become stronger, then I become stronger.” “Moreover...”

He changed the subject, and his gentle tone now carried an undeniable, powerful arrogance stemming from absolute confidence.

“My current cultivation speed is already fast enough, so what if there’s no extra boost?” This was a mysterious, gigantic black pagoda completely buried underground.

At this moment, the heavy pagoda gate, cast from an unknown metal and dozens of zhang tall, was tightly shut.

And before that massive gate, on the vast open-air plaza, countless Jia Nan Academy students, dressed in unified Inner Academy uniforms, were already sitting cross-legged.

They were not casually scattered like in the Outer Academy, but rather distinctly divided into various large and small sections according to different uniform badges and aura factions.

Within each section, one or two students with the strongest auras implicitly formed the center, creating groups full of order and cohesion.

At this moment, all of them had their eyes closed, meditating quietly, waiting for the heavy gate to open. “Wow... look at them, husband.”

Xiao Yan leaned next to Yun Xiancheng, extending a fair finger to point at the distinct student groups in the distance, her vibrant face

couldn’t help but show some confusion and surprise.

“How come these Inner Academy students are all forming little gangs? This doesn’t look like something students should be doing at all! It’s more like... it’s more like those mercenary groups in the Black-Corner Region, fighting tooth and nail for territory.”

“Hehe, Yaner sister, you don’t understand this.”

Beside them, Xiao Yu, who had learned a lot of Inner Academy news from Xue Ni, chuckled softly upon hearing this.

“The Inner Academy is not an ivory tower full of warmth and peace like the Outer Academy. Here, ’getting stronger’ is the sole truth that supersedes everything else. And to get stronger faster and more efficiently, besides one’s own talent and effort, the strength of a team is naturally indispensable.”

Xue Ni whispered, “Strong groups can exploit the weak to earn Fire Energy.” As a victim, she understood this deeply.

She continued, “We’re about to enter the training pagoda.”

Before she could finish, Yun Xiancheng suddenly covered her mouth. The young lady blushed, immediately feeling flustered and melting into Yun Xiancheng’s embrace.

Xue Ni was about to say that entering the training pagoda would involve a heart flame attack, but with Yun Xiancheng’s action, she knew he might want to test the Young ladies’ talents.

She cleverly stayed in Yun Xiancheng’s embrace, no longer speaking. “Hmm, so if that’s the case...”

Nalan Yanran, who was nearby, suddenly rolled her eyes, as if she had thought of something fun, and asked with a smile,

“We, this large group of people, stick together with husband all day long, listening to his every word. So... don’t we count as the newest and strongest gang in Jia Nan Academy, with husband as our leader?”

“Perhaps.”

Yun Xiancheng looked at their chattering appearance, merely gave a faint response, and not wanting to dwell on the topic, he casually changed the subject.

“Alright, don’t just stand here. Let’s find a spot to sit down and wait.”

Seeing Yun Xiancheng’s obvious reluctance to discuss further, the Young ladies, being intelligent, immediately understood. They exchanged glances, each seeing a knowing, sweet, and proud smile in the other’s eyes. They naturally knew why their husband disliked this topic.

If, strictly speaking, according to the definitions of “follower” and “leader”.

Then, these Young ladies who willingly and completely dedicated everything to Yun Xiancheng could indeed be considered a cohesive “gang” with him as their absolute core.

However, deep down in Yun Xiancheng’s heart, he instinctively and immensely disliked this rhetoric that demeaned his beloved wives as mere “followers”.

In his view, they were not his subordinates, much less his dependents.

They were his lovers, his unique family whom he was willing to protect with his life.

However, although the husband himself felt some aversion to this, the other Young ladies did not feel much aversion.

After all, in their hearts, Yun Xiancheng was like the brilliant sun hanging above the nine heavens, illuminating all things, so dazzling and unique.

And they were willing to be the brilliant stars revolving around him, chasing his light, and sharing his warmth. Their conversation did not deliberately avoid others.

Therefore, when Xiao Yan’s remark, full of surprise and meaning, “doesn’t look like something students should be doing,” clearly reached the ears of the veteran students who were meditating nearby.

Instantly, it was like pouring a splash of cold water into a pot of calm hot oil, immediately attracting the attention of many. “Where did this yellow-haired girl come from? Her tone is quite arrogant!”

“Exactly! When is it your turn, you wet-behind-the-ears freshmen, to meddle in our Inner Academy affairs?”

“Doesn’t look like students? Hehe, wait until you’ve been here for a year or so, and been severely exploited a few times by those old timers, then let’s see if you can still say such naive things!”

One by one, those veteran students opened their unfriendly eyes, casting cold gazes filled with scrutiny and hostility

towards Yun Xiancheng and their small group, who looked completely out of place, like “outsiders.”

They originally wanted to see which ignorant brat dared to openly incur public wrath in such an occasion. But when they discovered that the speakers were a group of overly beautiful new faces they had never seen before.

They were slightly stunned, and then immediately remembered the astonishing rumor that had spread throughout the entire Inner Academy not long ago regarding this Fire Energy Hunting Competition.

It was said that in this year’s hunting competition, an incredibly heaven-defying freshman team composed of several Young ladies appeared. Not only were they not successfully robbed by those poor veteran students...
