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

303: Section 303Carved upon it was a lifelike image of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, which cleverly and completely isolated the private world within the courtyard, filled with the atmosphere of Young ladies, from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

”Yue, I heard you managed to trick that batch of newcomers this year, who were rumored to be god-like, into joining our Moon Spirit?”

Yun Xiancheng and his group, led by Han Yue, had not yet fully approached the tightly closed vermilion lacquered gate.

A crisp and pleasant young girl’s voice, filled with a teasing tone, drifted out leisurely from behind the screen like an oriole leaving the valley.

Before the voice had faded, with a soft ”creak,” the heavy vermilion lacquered gate was pushed open from the inside, revealing a crack.

A lively little head, styled with playful double buns, peeked out from the gap.

It was a beautiful young woman of about twenty-one or twenty-two.

She had originally wanted to see what kind of ”monsters” their usually cold and aloof leader had brought back.

However, after her gaze swept over the group of Young ladies behind Han Yue.

It finally, like iron filings attracted to a magnet, without any warning and with extreme precision, locked onto Yun Xiancheng, the only man in the sea of red, dressed in purple embroidered with clouds.

In that instant, time seemed to stand still.

The young woman’s lively eyes, which had originally held a hint of curiosity and mischief, suddenly widened!

She felt as if her heart had been fiercely gripped by an invisible hand, and even her breathing had completely stopped at that moment.

Hmm?

She was a bit confused, seemingly unable to believe what her eyes were seeing was real.

One drop, two drops...

A few strands of bright red, warm liquid unexpectedly and uncontrollably dripped quietly from her small, upturned nose.

”Plop!”

A crisp and dramatic loud noise suddenly broke the silence of the place!

The vermilion lacquered gate that had just been pushed open was slammed shut again by the young girl in a flustered, almost fleeing posture.

Immediately following this, a shocking scream filled with panic, excitement, and a bit of incoherence erupted from within the tightly closed courtyard!

”Oh no!!! Yue... she... she... she’s dating someone!!!”

This loud, gossip-filled shout instantly echoed through the entire Moon Spirit base like a thunderclap on a clear day.

It also completely dyed Han Yue’s already slightly flushed, cold, and pretty face with a layer of moving, yet shy and annoyed red.

Her hand, holding her sword, with distinct knuckles, tightened unconsciously, and her fingertips turned slightly white.

She didn’t even dare to look at Yun Xiancheng’s expression at this moment, just subconsciously reaching out her other hand.

Gently and somewhat awkwardly, she touched her already burning cheeks.

Her cold voice carried a hint of stuttering urgency that even she hadn’t noticed.

”S-sorry... they... they might have misunderstood something.”

Looking at this usually cold and aloof ice Beauty before him.

She was currently showing such a flustered, cute appearance like a frightened little deer.

In Yun Xiancheng’s deep, star-like eyes, a gentle and kind smile involuntarily rippled.

He shook his head gently, and his clear, warm voice, like a pool of clear spring water, cooled down the awkward atmosphere just right.

”It’s fine,” he said with a smile, ”I can tell that the daily atmosphere of Moon Spirit is quite relaxed and happy.”

His words naturally considered Han Yue’s state, being very thoughtful and meticulous, without the slightest questioning, let alone any teasing.

That composed gentleness and demeanor belonging to a superior seemed to have an invisible magic, causing Han Yue’s heart, which had been beating wildly like a drum, to miraculously calm down in an instant.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the inexplicable shyness and agitation in her heart, and restored her cold and aloof appearance.

Only the moving blush that hadn’t completely faded from the roots of her ears quietly betrayed her inner lack of calm.

”Hee hee, Sister, look, didn’t that girl just... didn’t she have a nosebleed?”

Just at this moment, a low, teasing young girl’s voice sounded quietly from behind Yun Xiancheng.

Xiao Mei was covering her mouth, winking at Xiao Yu beside her, and gossiping in a low voice.

Although these words were not loud, who among those present was weak?

Moreover, the two of them never intended to deliberately avoid others.

Causing that pretty face, which had finally recovered a bit of coldness, to uncontrollably heat up slightly again.

Hmm.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu also touched her chin with feigned seriousness, then, in a tone full of scrutiny, as if she were selecting a new concubine for her husband.

Commented, ”Putting aside that reckless appearance just now, looking at her features, she is quite dignified and virtuous.”

Hearing this, Xiao Mei’s lively eyes rolled around, and a more mischievous, fox-like bad smile appeared on her face.

She pretended to gently pat Xiao Yu’s arm and advised:

”Oh, Sister, you can’t say it like that. Our husband is not that kind of lecher who forces people. This kind of thing, in the end, still depends on the girl’s own willingness.”

”Yes, yes, yes, my good sister, you are the one who understands husband’s heart the best.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu also shook her head helplessly, but her face carried a smile full of doting and tacit understanding.

”But you also know that husband, he just has this not-so-proactive personality. If he really meets some shy and coy sisters, I’m afraid... I’m afraid she won’t be able to get husband in this lifetime.”

Hiss... Why does this King feel like... like I’ve been subtly insulted by these two little girls?

Deep in Yun Xiancheng’s mind, Cai Lin, who was resting with her eyes closed, suddenly shuddered for no reason, and a very subtle, strange feeling of being unintentionally verbally violated arose in her heart.

Although the two little girls didn’t know she was secretly living in Yun Xiancheng’s mind, the coy Cai Lin felt as if she had done something wrong, thinking that Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei were implying something about her.

322 Hee hee, I am the real wife of the Heavenly Lord!

Listening to the two young girls behind her, engaged in intimate conversation full of ”family atmosphere” as if no one else was around, a stormy sea surged in Han Yue’s heart.

On one hand, she felt that the behavior of these two girls was really... really strange.

As Yun Xiancheng’s wives, not only did they not stop their husband from contacting other women, but on the contrary, they were here, excitedly discussing looking for a new wife for him?

This... this is simply an unheard-of, rebellious thing!

But on the other hand, when she saw the look of happiness and naturalness on the faces of the two young girls when they said these words, as if they were already accustomed to this.

In her heart, she uncontrollably gave birth to a strong, almost jealous envy.

What kind of family atmosphere is that?

And what kind of powerful personal charm is that, enough to make all women willingly abandon worldly prejudices for it?

However, apart from these complex emotions, more of what Han Yue felt in her heart was an indescribable, almost ecstatic excitement!

Great... he... he is not that kind of ascetic, unromantic block of wood, and certainly not a eunuch!

This discovery allowed her heart, which had been suspended in mid-air, filled with hesitation and anxiety, to completely settle down in an instant.

At least, she didn’t have to worry that the sincerity she might give in the future would eventually only be met with his cold, unromantic indifference.

Just as Han Yue was lost in thought.

Behind that tightly closed vermilion lacquered gate, it suddenly became lively.

”Hey! Xiao Die! Didn’t you just say that the leader brought back a peerless handsome senior brother? Where is he? Where is he?”

”Exactly, exactly! Let me see! What kind of sacred being is it that could actually make our leader Han, who is usually aloof and like a ten-thousand-year iceberg, moved by worldly feelings?”

”Don’t push, don’t push! Let me see first! I tell you, I only took one look just now, just one look! And I almost... almost lost my dao heart on the spot and fainted!”

Bursts of curious and excited, chirping young girls’ voices kept coming from behind the door.

Immediately after, that tightly closed gate was again quietly pushed open a crack.

One, two, three heads.

In an instant, seven or eight curious little heads of various shapes and charms, like bamboo shoots after the rain, scrambled to peek out from the crack in the door, wanting to see the true face of the legendary ”boyfriend of Han Yue.”

They saw Yun Xiancheng, who was standing there smiling, his white clothes whiter than snow. In that instant, the entire world seemed to have fallen completely silent.

Behind the door, which had previously been filled with noise and gossip, silence fell instantly, as if dead.

Those seven or eight little heads, which had just been filled with curiosity and excitement, were now all frozen in place, as if under a petrification spell. On their faces, all at once, appeared the same stunned expression of shock and obsession as the girl named ”Xiao Die” earlier. After a long while, no one knew who was the first to recover from that heaven-defying shock.

Then, with a short, shy exclamation of ”Ah,” those seven or eight little heads, like startled rabbits, ”whooshed” and all retracted back in unison!

Immediately after, from behind the door came bursts of suppressed exclamations and complaints, filled with shyness and annoyance. ”Oh my god! Did I... did I... did I just drool earlier?”

”It’s over, it’s over! I must have been staring blankly just now! Now the leader has seen it all! My image is completely ruined!”

”It’s all your fault, Xiao Die! Why didn’t you tell us sooner that he... he... he looks so... so unfair!” ”Don’t slander me! I told you all already!!!”

After another while, seemingly having finally prepared themselves mentally, the vermilion-lacquered door, filled with stories, finally opened slowly under the anticipation of everyone.

This time, the one who walked out was still the young girl with double buns named ”Xiao Die,” who had been the first to have a nosebleed. She had already put on a serious expression, pretending to be calm and mature.

Only her cheeks, which were still abnormally red, and her eyes, which still dared not meet Yun Xiancheng’s and kept darting around, betrayed her inner nervousness and panic.

She walked up to everyone, bowed deeply and somewhat stiffly to Yun Xiancheng and the others, and said in a voice that sounded like it was squeezed through her teeth, feigning calmness: ”Wel... welcome... fellow juniors, to... our Moon Spirit.”

Seeing her cute, forced composure, the gentle smile on Yun Xiancheng’s face deepened a little. He nodded gently to her and the Moon Spirit Young ladies behind her, who were also keeping their heads down, not daring to look at him, and said, ”Hmm, hello, seniors.”

Afterwards, he seemed to feel it was necessary to help the ice Beauty beside him, who was so embarrassed she was about to dig a three-bedroom apartment into the floor with her toes, out of her predicament.

Thus, he changed the subject and explained in a tone that was equally gentle but clear, ”Also, there is one thing I think it is necessary to clarify in advance.” ”I am not currently Senior Han Yue’s boyfriend.” ”What—!?”

As soon as these words were spoken, it was no less than another heavy bomb, exploding in the already fragile hearts of the Moon Spirit Young ladies!

The girl named Xiao Die was struck as if by lightning, standing completely frozen in place. Before she could react, a girlish voice, filled with triumph and a hint of showing off, rang out from beside Yun Xiancheng again.

Nalan Yanran, somehow, had already affectionately and naturally hugged Yun Xiancheng’s empty, strong arm. She pressed her soft, well-developed, and resilient body tightly and unreservedly against him.

Then, lifting her bright and charming face, which was full of possessiveness and a happy smile, she announced to the group of petrified Moon Spirit Young ladies in a tone filled with the meaning of a victor, sweet to the point of being cloying: ”Hee hee, sorry, seniors. I am the one who is husband’s... wife.” ”Wha... what!? Wi... wife!?”

If Yun Xiancheng’s words just now were merely a heavy bomb, then Nalan Yanran’s declaration, filled with the aura of the ”main wife” and worthy of being called a ”trump card,” was like a magnitude 12 super earthquake capable of destroying everything. In an instant, it completely shattered the already crumbling worldview of the Moon Spirit Young ladies!

”Enough!” At this moment, a cold, sharp, and commanding shout, filled with shame and anger, suddenly rang out! Han Yue really couldn’t watch anymore. She strode forward with her long legs and flashed in front of the Moon Spirit Young ladies, who had already lost their armor and were in disarray.

With her arms crossed, her phoenix eyes, usually cold and arrogant like a cold pool, were now burning with two raging flames of ”frustration at their failure to meet expectations”! ”You seniors, acting so jumpy in front of the juniors, what kind of decorum is this?!” ”All of you, go to the faction warehouse and contribute some Fire Energy as punishment!”

Also! From now on, you must all treat these new juniors well! If they don’t understand anything, you must tell them everything you know without holding back.

Speaking of this, her cold voice paused slightly. She turned her head and looked with complicated emotions at Yun Xiancheng, who was looking at her with an innocent smile, and then, with a headache, rubbed her temples and continued: ”Junior Yun... is relatively special. So, I hope you all... act normally...”

Although she said that, when Han Yue saw the group of Young ladies behind her still staring foolishly at Yun Xiancheng’s side profile, as if they had lost their souls, she knew that her words had probably been in vain. These guys... couldn’t be counted on.

Just as an unprecedented, deep sense of powerlessness arose in Han Yue’s heart, Yun Xiancheng stepped forward at the right moment. He took a step and, without leaving a trace, blocked himself between Han Yue and the wolf-like Moon Spirit Young ladies, his face still wearing that gentle and sincere smile that no one could refuse.

”Seniors, I think we should hurry and take us to the inner hall to sit down.” He used that clear, gentle voice, which seemed to carry a certain magic to soothe people’s hearts, and said softly: ”I am not talented, but I happen to have brewed a few pots of good tea to clear the heart and reduce heat for you all. Later, let’s sit down and chat slowly, how about that?”

323 The Matter of an All-Female Gathering. The inner hall of the Moon Spirit station was decorated elegantly and refinedly, revealing the exquisite care of a young woman everywhere.

Wisps of light smoke from specially made incense swirled in the air like thin mist, emitting a faint, elegant, cold fragrance that could calm people’s minds, like the sky clearing after snow.

The tea leaves Yun Xiancheng brought this time had leaves of a verdant color, shaped like sparrow tongues, and only needed a splash of hot water. A rich, fragrant, and refreshing aroma instantly filled the entire hall, suppressing the previous cold fragrance.

When the Moon Spirit Young ladies who had lost their composure at the door, each with flushed faces and not knowing where to put their hands and feet, sat back in their respective seats, Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei, with extreme naturalness and tacit understanding, took the initiative to take on the task of serving tea to everyone.

The two of them were seen, one holding the exquisite teapot carved from warm jade, and the other holding a tray full of white porcelain teacups, moving with light, lotus-like steps and graceful postures among the pear wood tables. Their movements were so skilled, so elegant, as if they had done this a thousand times.

Every time they reached a spot, they would offer a gentle, virtuous, and perfectly appropriate smile to the Moon Spirit senior sitting upright, and then say softly: ”Senior, please have some tea.”

That gentleness and thoughtfulness, unintentionally exuded from their very bones, exclusive to wives. That composed demeanor, filled with happiness, which had long since regarded ”serving the husband” as a matter of course, was like an invisible heavy hammer, striking hard at the hearts of all the Moon Spirit Young ladies present!

Each of them, as if under a petrification spell, sat in their seats, somewhat dazed. Holding the cup of tea in their hands that was still emitting curling heat, they felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles, their whole bodies exuding an indescribable awkwardness and discomfort. They... they... were actually really considering themselves as Junior Yun’s wives... Moreover, looking at their appearance, not only were they not forced or unwilling, but on the contrary... on the contrary, they were enjoying it?!
