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

334: Section 334She took a step forward, and under Liu Fei’s astonished gaze, she grabbed Yun Xiancheng’s hand.

Her breath was cool, yet carried a slight hint of provocation: ”Classmate Cheng, I’m just wondering, why did you visit Han Yue first? Do you think my sister and I aren’t good enough?”

Yun Xiancheng was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He probably hadn’t expected that after a few months, Liu Qing, who had once questioned him for her sister, would become so direct and proactive.

This question was indeed tricky.

However, Yun Xiancheng didn’t panic. He clasped her hand in return, pulling her closer, his arm instinctively wrapping around her soft waist.

He shook his head, his warm breath brushing against her cheek:

”Not at all. I’m merely visiting everyone in the order I met them when I first arrived at the Inner Academy.” This answer was watertight. Liu Qing snorted inwardly but wasn’t annoyed.

She extended her other hand, gently placing it on his firm chest, her fingertips, through the fabric, touching his steady, powerful heartbeat.

She raised her eyes, looking directly into his through her mask, and asked, word for word: ”Visiting? Then how can my sister and I become, not just ’everyone’, but truly ’your own’ people?”

Yun Xiancheng chuckled inwardly. This girl was even more interesting than he’d imagined.

He was in a good mood now and felt like teasing her. He didn’t answer, but simply wrapped his arm around her waist and gently pressed her against the wall behind them, creating an ambiguous ’kabedon’ pose.

”That depends on your thoughts,” he murmured, looking down at her, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Liu Qing was only slightly shorter than Yun Xiancheng, but at this moment, she subconsciously bent her knees, allowing herself to be more completely encircled in his embrace, looking up at him.

”How can this man be so wicked!” Liu Qing complained inwardly.

She just wanted to hear him say words of pursuit himself, but he insisted on keeping her in suspense like this.

She pouted slightly, her words tinged with a coquettishness and grievance she hadn’t even noticed: ”I... I want to hear you say it.”

This awkward yet sweet conversation between the two made the Moon Spirit Young ladies, who had been secretly peeking from behind the clouds, scratch their ears and cheeks in impatience, wishing they could roll around on the spot.

Just then, Liu Fei, who had been acting as a background board, could no longer tolerate it.

Her face flushed red, she suddenly jumped out from behind her sister, mustered all her courage, and pushed Yun Xiancheng’s back with both hands. Yun Xiancheng was caught off guard, and his body ’naturally’ leaned forward.

Thus, to Liu Fei’s delighted gaze and the silent cheers of the Moon Spirit Young ladies, his lips accurately met Liu Qing’s slightly pouting, soft lips beneath her silver mask.

391 The Liu Family’s Twin Lotus Desires Favor

Liu Fei stared intently at the scene before her, her eyes wide and still, standing motionless beside them.

Her elder sister, always awe-inspiring, the majestic jade-faced spear Liu Qing, known throughout Jia Nan Academy.

Now lay across Yun Xiancheng’s embrace, a tender smile on her face, appearing languid and charming, every gesture revealing the demeanor of a young girl, utterly different from her former domineering presence.

A surge of frustration rose in Liu Fei’s chest. She frowned her delicate brows, her mind in a daze. Something about this scene was amiss, subtly discordant, yet she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

As she stood there, a myriad of thoughts rushed into her mind, and doubts constantly arose.

By common sense, the one nestled in his embrace should be her adorable self. Why had it become her sister today?

Could it be that the ways of heaven had turned, and the world was upside down? The sister in her memory, what a formidable presence!

The day she first met Yun Xiancheng, she had grabbed his collar, her gaze sharp, her voice cold, speaking directly. Yet the person before her now, with a look of spring desire, and a soft, charming demeanor, was utterly different from her past self.

Could it be that her sister had been subjected to some Dragon-Subduing Tiger-Taming Technique? Or was she dreaming with her eyes open, seeing an illusion?

Liu Fei’s lips parted slightly, wanting to speak but hesitating, her expression changing several times. Her mind was blank, reason and emotion clashing.

Her usual calm and composed demeanor was completely gone. She stood rooted to the spot, her brows tightly furrowed, her eyes wide, her face etched with shock. The vastness of the world and its many changes were perhaps no more than this.

Seeing this, all the Moon Spirit Young ladies covered their mouths and chuckled softly, fearing to disturb this good show. They all moved quietly, tiptoeing behind a screen. Pairs of bright eyes flickered in and out through the gaps in the screen, some filled with envy, some with secret joy, some with curiosity.

They were well-versed in the art of spectating, fearing to get caught in the situation, wishing only to observe from afar and not get involved. Each one whispered, fearing to disturb this romantic tale. Yun Xiancheng observed all around him, taking in every subtle change in Liu Fei’s expression.

He was well-versed in the ways of the boudoir, discerning the thoughts of young women, and immediately understood the crux of the matter. If he allowed discord to arise between the two sisters, wouldn’t he be cutting off his own arms?

Moreover, as the saying goes, ’peaches and plums don’t speak, but paths are worn beneath them.’ He had always been considerate, so how could he let the beauties immerse themselves in confusion and loss alone?

Yun Xiancheng said nothing, only extended a slender finger to gently caress Liu Fei’s chin, his fingertip applying slight pressure, like plucking a zither string or stroking a flower petal. A unique sensation filled his heart.

As expected, Liu Fei’s expression immediately changed.

The confusion, injustice, and doubt in her eyes instantly vanished, replaced by a misty shimmer.

Her body leaned slightly forward, subconsciously resting her cheek against Yun Xiancheng’s palm, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, revealing a hint of dependence.

A soft hum escaped her throat, faint and melodious, charming and pleasant to the ear, like a kitten being stroked, utterly content. Liu Fei instantly transformed into a sweet, docile maiden, completely different from before.

”How can a daughter of the Liu family act like a kitten?” Liu Qing looked at her sister’s appearance, her lips curling into a smile, speaking with a cheerful expression.

Her words held three parts teasing and seven parts triumph. She currently enjoyed Yun Xiancheng’s embrace exclusively, as if she had gained the upper hand, the unspoken rivalry between the sisters evident.

At these words, Liu Fei immediately felt humiliated.

She abruptly looked up, a surge of indignation accumulating between her brows, her phoenix eyes wide open, shooting an unfriendly gaze at her sister. In the past, her sister had always been caring towards her, never uttering a single word of sarcasm.

Today, however, because of a man, she had acted contrary to her usual self, treating her poorly. How could her heart bear it?

Liu Fei’s chest was filled with both resentment and confusion, and even a faint, ineffable sadness, a mix of emotions. Yun Xiancheng saw the two women’s eyes clashing, a spark ready to ignite a prairie fire, and immediately knew something was amiss.

Sisters turning against each other, how could that be what he desired? At this thought, a glint flashed in his eyes. With a shift of his arm, before Liu Fei noticed, his other hand had already reached Liu Qing’s lips.

His knuckles were nimble, like plucking zither strings, gently parting those two rosy lips, entering her mouth, and touching her crimson tongue. Liu Qing parted her cherry lips, obediently welcoming him.

Her usually sharp, electric eyes now flowed with watery light, her brows and eyes brimming with spring desire, her demeanor soft and charming.

She allowed Yun Xiancheng’s fingertips to tease her fragrant mouth, sometimes sucking, sometimes gently biting, willingly becoming his servant, her movements alluring, utterly devoid of the jade-faced spear’s majesty and cold allure.

Seeing this, Liu Fei’s heart was in turmoil, filled with shock, confusion, and an indescribable strange emotion swirling within her.

”It’s alright, you are both my little kittens, is that okay?” Yun Xiancheng’s eyes held a smile, his words containing both authority and hints of tender affection. While caressing Liu Fei’s chin, his fingertips varied in pressure, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes loose, sometimes tight; and while teasing Liu Qing’s fragrant mouth, sometimes playing with her tongue, sometimes gently tapping her teeth.

Both Liu Sisters were under his control, involuntarily blooming with distinctly different charms, like precious, long-nurtured cats, docile and clinging to their owner.

Wherever Yun Xiancheng’s fingertips reached, it was as if they possessed divine power. In less than half a cup of tea’s time, the tension between the two sisters had vanished without a trace. Liu Qing’s soul drifted, her body and mind completely lost, her eyes slightly closed, with only a sliver of spring water flowing ceaselessly, reflecting Yun Xiancheng alone.

Although Liu Fei retained some of her wits, under Yun Xiancheng’s skillful touch, she also gradually entered a pleasant state, her emotions fluctuating, her breathing slightly quickened, her face like a peach blossom. After a long while, Yun Xiancheng slowly withdrew his hands, his gaze lingering on the sisters, his expression relaxed and content.

Liu Qing had now completely let down her guard, leaning against Yun Xiancheng’s chest, clinging to him like a kitten, listening to the powerful thumping in his chest.

Beneath her mask, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes filled with affection. Her usual overbearing chill had completely melted away, leaving only a pool of spring water, brimming and ready to overflow. ”Is this... the feeling of being protected?”

Liu Qing’s cherry lips parted slightly, her voice low, yet clearly reaching Yun Xiancheng and Liu Fei’s ears.

These words, once spoken, conveyed a hint of fragility and emotion. The formerly awe-inspiring jade-faced spear now fully displayed a young woman’s tender affection.

She yearned for love and protection, much like a long-frozen lake finally melting after a spring breeze. From a young age, Liu Qing had shouldered the responsibility of an elder sister, taking Liu Fei away from their family to study at Jia Nan Academy. Along the way, she had overcome countless obstacles, naturally daring not to slacken in the slightest.

To protect her sister, she wore a silver mask, appearing cold and sharp externally, secretly concealing her strength, never revealing a hint of weakness in front of others. In the past, she had always borne the heavy burden, protecting her sister. When had she ever been protected by others?

Only today did she realize that relying on the embrace of a strong person, allowing him to embrace and protect her, brought such peace of mind. Although Liu Qing’s words were soft, Yun Xiancheng and Liu Fei heard every single one.

Yun Xiancheng reached out and stroked Liu Qing’s black hair, his fingertips lingering. He didn’t say a word, but that gentle nod of his head was more eloquent than a thousand words. Deep affection surged in his eyes, as he naturally understood the turmoil in this woman’s heart.

Her shedding of the cold, hard armor and revealing her inner softness was a rare and precious act of trust and reliance. Liu Qing also said no more, resting quietly against Yun Xiancheng’s chest, her breath filled with his mixed floral scent.

Years of vigilance and tension gradually melted away with each breath. She closed her eyes, letting her mind drift in this sanctuary.

The clamor of the mortal world and the worries of mundane affairs were all shut out, leaving only the present tranquility and serenity, as if in another lifetime. Liu Fei gazed at her sister for a moment, and the knot in her chest gradually loosened.

She shifted slightly, leaning against Yun Xiancheng’s shoulder, her lips parting slightly, yet remaining silent.

Just like a ray of light piercing through the mist in her heart, she suddenly understood her sister’s inner weariness and longing. Liu Qing, who was usually as sharp as a knife and sword, shielding her sister from wind and rain, actually had such a vulnerable side. Humans are not plants; her sister was also flesh and blood, how could she always be strong?

To be able to unload the heavy burden and return to her true self as a woman was not necessarily a bad thing.

”It’s really good to be... Xiancheng’s girlfriend, together with older sister.” Liu Fei softly spoke her true feelings, her voice gentle but full of sincerity. The worries that had just bothered her had now vanished.

Instead of competing, it’s better to share. Why contend for Yun Xiancheng’s exclusive affection when they could walk hand in hand, basking in the spring breeze of love together? The three of them leaned on each other, and a long time passed without them realizing it.

It was as if they had carved out a pure land in the chaotic mortal world, untouched by the dust and clamor.

The Moon Spirit Young ladies behind the screen had originally only intended to feast their eyes and watch a joke, but they unexpectedly witnessed this tender scene. Their hearts melted, smiles played on their lips, and their eyes were filled with laughter.

The sweet and warm atmosphere seemed to be infectious, causing every bystander to involuntarily become engrossed in it, their hearts rippling. ”What has happened in the Inner Academy these three months?” After a moment of silence, Yun Xiancheng finally opened his lips to ask.

Although he was asking about serious matters, his fingers still roamed through Liu Qing’s black hair, sometimes gently stroking, sometimes intertwining, his gestures intimate and ceaseless.

Liu Qing stirred slightly in his arms but did not look up, still intoxicated by this rare moment of tenderness. Liu Fei lowered her eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and said:

”We’ve actually become much richer. Xiao Yan, Classmate, won the Medicine Gang leader in alchemy, and Nalan Yanran, Classmate, defeated the White Gang leader. Plus my operations, we’ve almost

monopolized more than half of the Fire Energy circulation in the Inner Academy.”

As she spoke, her eyebrows lifted slightly, and a hint of self-satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

Such a situation not only demonstrated their strength but also represented a large-scale expansion of Yun Xiancheng’s influence in the Inner Academy, which was naturally something to be proud of. Yun Xiancheng’s brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this, his expression solemn. After a moment, he spoke:

”Since that’s the case, let’s give welfare work to ordinary students. Work-for-relief, let’s see what these students can do.”

Although he didn’t say it explicitly, his words revealed his intentions. Wealth is merely icing on the cake, not help in a crisis; monopolization might bring temporary profit, but it cannot last long.

Not to mention, Fire Energy. He no longer needed it.

Liu Fei’s eyes lit up, and she nodded, saying, ”Understood. The ordinary students in the Inner Academy indeed have a hard life.” She readily agreed without hesitation, her words and actions showing conviction and respect.

Yun Xiancheng nodded slightly, his fingers gently stroking Liu Fei’s black hair, his movements gentle and intimate.

The traditional customs of the Inner Academy had always bothered him. Within one academy, the strong were distinct from the weak, and the noble from the humble, which had a cruel resemblance to capital operations.

Students originally sought knowledge to understand principles and cultivate themselves. If they only knew how to scheme and scramble for fame and profit, wouldn’t that be putting the cart before the horse? The academy should cultivate talents, not create marketplaces.

The long-standing rules of the Inner Academy were so similar to the strong bullying the weak and the rich oppressing the poor in the secular world. As the saying goes, ”the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer”; this saying truly does not deceive me.

Yun Xiancheng had long had a plan in mind. Since it was for learning, cultivating talent should be paramount. How could students be allowed to wallow in conflict?

He wouldn’t claim to have a heart for saving the world, but rather than seeing this kind of academy struggle, he preferred to see the academy vibrant, everyone eager to learn, and each finding their place. Only then would it live up to the name ”Academy.”

392 Lively

As Xiao Yan and her group arrived at the entrance of the Moon Spirit’s residence, a soft, sweet, and cloying fragrance wafted out. Upon stepping inside, the sight before them made all the Young ladies halt in unison.

On the large cloud bed, Yun Xiancheng was casually reclining, while the Liu Sisters, who were usually haughty, were now docilely leaning on either side of him, intimately rubbing their heads against his cheeks, their posture like two valuable cats who had found their master.

”Senior Brother?” Nalan Yanran’s call was not loud, but it clearly cut through the atmosphere in the room.

Her gaze fell on Liu Qing’s profile, which, after removing her mask, appeared slightly more charming and not much different from Liu Fei’s, and her heart tightened. Her thoughts raced, and she quietly immersed herself in her mind, quickly checking the ”family network” built by Yun Xiancheng as its core.

When she discovered that the newly added members’ intentions were densely listed with the Moon Spirit Young ladies, who were chattering away with the Young ladies from the Jiama Empire, and even being scrutinized by Yun Yun,

Yun Yun had the Moon Spirit Young ladies completely subdued.

Nalan Yanran watched for a long time, and only when she found no sign of Liu Qing and Liu Fei did her suspended heart slowly settle, and the knot in her chest slightly eased.

Phew, good thing. Since they haven’t intimately communicated with husband, it won’t affect the competition yet. Dou Qi circulated within her body, and her five-star Dou Spirit cultivation gave her a steady foundation.

The exquisite Dou Techniques secretly taught by Yun Xiancheng were her sharpest blades. With the Inner Academy selection competition approaching, if she were to face Liu Qing, she was absolutely confident she could defeat that long-famous jade-faced spear.

At that time, wouldn’t the advantage she had painstakingly cultivated vanish in an instant? Fortunately, that kind of intimate pleasure, the cultivation method of Yin and Yang interaction, was not something that could be achieved overnight.

At present, although the Liu Sisters were intimate in their posture, they didn’t seem to have truly entered the inner chambers yet. Everything still had room for change. As this thought crossed her mind, Nalan Yanran’s pupils suddenly contracted.

In her sight, Liu Qing, who had just been docilely leaning, slowly extended her delicate pink tongue and gently and slowly licked his smooth, jade-like jaw a few times.

The action exuded complete trust and flattery, so intimate that there was no concealment whatsoever. Nalan Yanran almost bit through her silver teeth.

Liu Qing! Have you gone mad? Where is your ice-cold, aloof, and proud jade-faced spear persona? You just licked him? Who was that you who grabbed Senior Brother’s collar and questioned him? This change in attitude is too fast!

Liu Qing was completely oblivious to the various gazes cast her way. She slightly closed her eyes, all her attention immersed in that moment of intimacy. The warmth emanating from his skin and the clear scent lingering in her nostrils intoxicated her, as if the entire world had receded.

She closed her eyes, seemingly having an epiphany. ”Senior Brother!”

This time, Nalan Yanran’s voice volume increased by several points, and the anxiety and dissatisfaction contained within it were audible to anyone.

She no longer hesitated, her lotus steps moving lightly, her figure like a wisp of clear breeze, Bypass the Xiao sisters in front, passing the Xiao Family Sisters in front, and walked directly behind the cloud bed.

Her slender hands wrapped around his neck, and her soft, ample bosom naturally pressed against his broad back. Even through two layers of clothing, they could still feel each other’s warmth and heartbeats.

Elder Su asked me to convey a message: he specifically wants you all to participate in next week’s Inner Academy selection competition.” Yun Xiancheng’s eyelids lifted slightly, and a questioning single syllable escaped his throat: ”Oh?”

Nalan Yanran gently rested her chin on his shoulder, her warm breath caressing his ear:

”Elder Su’s intention is to use this opportunity to legitimately allow you to enter the lowest level of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda. The heart flame there is greatly beneficial even to Dou King Experts.”

Yun Xiancheng nodded, indicating he understood, and his gaze then turned to the group of people who had just entered. ”Long time no see.” His voice was warm, like a clear spring flowing over jade.

Xiao Yan found a cushion directly facing Yun Xiancheng and sat down, her beautiful eyes looking straight at him without avoidance, uttering simple and direct words: ”I missed you.” Xiao Mei and Xiao Yu took positions on the other side, Xiao Mei resting her chin on her hand, leaning forward, her soft, sweet voice like it was coated in honey.

”Husband, are you free tonight to spare some time for us sisters?” Although Xiao Yu next to her remained silent, her watery eyes were filled with the same anticipation.

Yun Xiancheng replied with a smile, ”Mm, of course.”

Hu Jia and Xue Ni found a corner to sit. Hu Jia’s personality was always straightforward; she crossed her arms and teased, ”These past three months, the Xiao Family members have truly been waiting with bated breath, our—our husband.”

She bit the last two words very lightly, so lightly that it seemed she was speaking to herself, yet a faint blush uncontrollably spread across her earlobes. Only Xiao Xun Er stood quietly behind the crowd, silent.
