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

21: Section 21Ya Fei felt embarrassed by her shameful actions and said with a hint of panic in her voice, ”What was Yan Ran doing earlier?”

She was practicing Dou Techniques in the training hall of the Mittel Auction House. It’s getting late now, and Yan Ran could return to rest at any time.

”It’s fine, Yan Ran might not care,” Xiancheng comforted.

This posture had already made Ya Fei feel quite flustered.

Yan Ran might not care, but Ya Fei did, so she didn’t follow up on Xiancheng’s words.

Her legs clamped around the back of Xiancheng’s head. ”Brother Cheng, why is your tongue also...!!!!” She only felt a flash of white light.

Before she could finish, the Beauty’s soft body seemed to melt into a pool of spring mud, collapsing weakly onto the soft bed. Her cherry-like mouth opened slightly, gasping for breath like a fish out of water...

The winter sun always carried a bone-chilling cold, like sharp knives mercilessly scraping against one’s cheeks.

The morning in Wutan City was gloomy, with fine snowflakes falling, dressing the earth in silver and adding a touch of solemnity. The Xiao Family’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony has always been a significant day in Wutan City.

Many forces friendly to the Xiao Family would send representatives to observe the ceremony to understand the growth of the younger generation and strengthen their mutual ties.

On the Xiao Family Training Ground, fine snow fluttered down, landing on the bluestone ground and condensing into a layer of ice as thin as a cicada’s wing, reflecting a cold light that made it feel even colder.

The observation seats, which used to be crowded with guests in previous years, were now more than half empty, appearing exceptionally desolate.

Only the flag of the Mittel Auction House fluttered in the northwest corner, making a snapping sound as if silently declaring its support.

Compared to previous years, this Coming-of-Age Ceremony was far too quiet. Many small forces that should have come to congratulate them seemed to fear the increasingly powerful Jiale Family and did not dare to attend.

”Being this quiet saves a lot of time for small talk and avoids having to deal with hypocrites.” Ya Fei pulled her expensive fox fur coat tighter and spoke to the Black Robed Man beside her.

Slowly stepping under the eaves, her crimson skirt lightly swept over the snow on the steps, leaving behind several graceful curves. ”Sister Ya Fei, I hope you are well. Why have you come?”

The young girl Xiao Yan curtsied; the blue hem of her skirt rippled like an ink lotus. She was wearing the dress previously gifted by Xiao Mei, which seemed a bit thin for winter.

Ya Fei nodded slightly and said with a smile, ”I naturally came to visit my cute and beautiful sisters. How could I miss such an important day?”

Beside Ya Fei stood two people wearing black cloaks that completely concealed their faces.

Judging by their positions and behavior, they seemed to be Ya Fei’s guards. However, the sharp-eyed Xiao Yan recognized them both at a glance.

”Brother Xiancheng, Sister Yan Ran, you’ve come too!” She hurriedly greeted them, her voice full of surprise. ”Yes, it’s been a long time, so we specifically came to see you.”

Nalan Yanran also nodded slightly as a response to Xiao Yan’s greeting, then asked with concern, ”Have you been tired of cultivation lately? Have you been slacking off?”

Wow, asking about cultivation as soon as we meet. Yan Ran, when did you become such a Nagging mother?

Xiancheng complained inwardly. ”I wouldn’t dare neglect my cultivation.”

A pale green Dou Qi surged around the girl, causing the icicles on the eaves to rattle and fall.

The pressure of the 9th Stage Dou Zhi Qi ruffled the stray hairs by Ya Fei’s ears, making the Beauty look even more charming.

”Not bad, you’ve reached the 9th Stage Dou Zhi Qi so quickly.” Yan Ran suddenly felt a bit of pressure.

Although she was already a Seven-star Dou Practitioner and could break through to the eight-star level at any time, she felt the gap between them had narrowed.

Hmph, it’s all because Senior Brother refused to return to the sect and use the sect’s resources for cultivation.

After a brief exchange of cultivation insights, Xiao Mei suddenly let out a light cry, breaking the silence: ”Sister Yu is back? When did she return?”

Xiao Mei’s cry also woke Xiao Xun’er, who had been dozing.

She covered a yawn with her circular fan, her slender fingers pinching a crescent moon mark into Xiancheng’s palm. ”That one who’s studying abroad... humph.”

”What did Xiao Yu do to you? Why do you look so unhappy the moment we meet?” Xiancheng helplessly pinched her small, delicate nose.

He was surprised to notice a faint peach-blossom flush behind the girl’s fair ears, looking vibrant and incredibly enticing. At this moment, Xiao Xun’er did not reject Xiancheng’s touch, but explained with a hint of coquettishness.

”She didn’t do anything to me, it’s just that she was probably one of the few who could talk to Xiao Yan over the past three years, which is better treatment than I got.”

The girl had a bit of pride and wanted to compete even on this level. Xiancheng helplessly flicked her smooth forehead.

Xiao Xun’er didn’t mind such intimate contact... 10 points of intimacy shouldn’t be this close.

Xiancheng thought for a moment; it seemed that although the upper limit was locked, it likely just didn’t display the true affection level. Then, he looked up.

He immediately saw a beautiful girl in an academy-style uniform skirt, with a pair of long, slender legs, standing there gracefully.

She was chatting warmly with Xiao Mei, her face beaming with the smile of an elder sister.

036 Competing with Xiao Yu

The moment Xiancheng and Xiao Yu’s fingers touched.

The icicles hanging from the eaves reflected the morning sun, shattering into crystal dust against Xiancheng’s black hood. Xiao Yu’s crossed knees trembled slightly, and the hem of her Jia Nan Academy uniform swayed gently.

The boy’s features were like a jade carving dipped in frost, but the smile on his thin lips was like a spring breeze in March. The girl was dazed for a long moment before she slowly spoke:

”Oh, so you’re the Young Sect Master of Yunlan Sect. Grandfather told me about you.” Her voice trailed off into the white mist she exhaled, and the tips of Xiao Yu’s ears quietly turned red.

The silver buttons on the collar of her dark blue school uniform rose and fell with her rapid breathing. She had been attracted by this handsome face and was dazed for a moment; how embarrassing!

Xiancheng looked at the shy expression of the eldest Xiao sister and couldn’t help but recall the shy looks of Xiao Yan and Xiao Mei. When The Three Xiao Sisters were shy, their expressions were quite similar.

As expected of sisters from the same clan, they were adorable. Xiao Yu knew about Xiancheng.

After she returned home for the holidays, her grandfather specifically sought her out to tell her about the major events that had occurred recently. The main subject was this Young Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect.

Whenever her grandfather talked about him, his face was full of joy, acting as if he already considered him a grandson-in-law. Ridiculous! How could he be like that?

Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with her grandfather’s unsolicited matchmaking, to be honest, Xiao Yu had developed a fair amount of curiosity about Xiancheng. Xiao Yu had attended Jia Nan Academy and had broadened her horizons, seeing many geniuses.

She just wondered what level this Young Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect, who was already a Dou Master at such a young age, would be at if placed in the genius-filled Jia Nan Academy. However, despite her many thoughts, the moment she saw Xiancheng, she was still accidentally captivated by his handsome face, making her lose face slightly.

”Thank you, young master, for helping my two sisters reconcile. During these three years while I was away studying, I was powerless to help, and seeing my two sisters act like strangers made me very sad.”

As the eldest sister, Xiao Yu lacked nothing in etiquette.

Upon meeting, she first thanked Xiancheng for mediating the relationship between Xiao Yan and Xiao Mei.

As she spoke, Xiao Mei shyly toyed with the hem of her Pomegranate Skirt. The green snake hairpin gifted by Xiancheng trembled in her hair. ”It’s mostly my fault. Three years ago, I was too... snobbish, which ruined my relationship with my sister.”

Xiao Yan nodded: ”I also saw that Mei’er sincerely wanted to change, which is why I forgave her.” Xiao Mei’s former personality...

Xiao Yu knew it very well. The fact that this Young Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect could lead Xiao Mei onto the right path clearly showed he was full of righteousness.

Seeing her two sisters like this, Xiao Yu naturally had a good impression of Xiancheng. ”Please sit, please sit.”

Xiancheng invited Xiao Yu to sit aside and watch the Coming-of-Age Ceremony as if he were the host, momentarily making Xiao Yu forget who the actual host was.

Then she sat down obediently, her long and beautiful legs pressed together. So fragrant.

Recalling their previous conversation, the first thing Xiao Yu savored was the scent of the sun on Xiancheng.

This fragrance gave off a sense of peaceful leisure like a quiet afternoon, making one forget the fatigue of life and want to lie peacefully beside him. Xiao Yu’s long legs naturally attracted Xiancheng’s gaze for a few seconds.

His gaze swept over the girl’s tight short skirt and her long, straight, crossed legs. The texture of her skin faintly visible under the dark blue Ice silk stockings made him want to touch them carefully.

The girl’s body also began to gradually emit a unique floral fragrance belonging to a young maiden. To distract himself, Xiancheng had to speak:

”You are a student of Jia Nan Academy, right?”

”I heard that Jia Nan Academy will be recruiting students soon. I wonder if I can sign up?” Hmm?

The girl murmured inwardly.

Xiancheng’s words made Xiao Yu a bit puzzled, but she still explained:

”That shouldn’t be a problem. As long as your side doesn’t object, Jia Nan Academy has always welcomed everyone to sign up.”

At this moment, she was also curious: how much of a gap was there between the Young Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect and herself? So she said:

”Young Master, why don’t we have a match?”

When Yan Ran heard this, she thought, ’Hehe, this vixen is about to be taught a lesson by Senior Brother. How could a mere Three-star Dou Practitioner compare to Senior Brother, who is at the Dou Master level?’

Nalan Yanran suddenly became lively, wanting to see her Senior Brother pummel the vixen.

But Xiao Xun’er, who was beside her, became interested. Covering half of her small face with her circular fan, she also revealed a faint smile.

She also knew that Xiancheng definitely had an interest in Xiao Yu. Since he was interested, how could he possibly pummel the vixen? Thus, Xiao Xun’er was certain that Xiancheng would surely take advantage of Xiao Yu during the upcoming spar.

Hehe, the Young Sect Leader of Cloud Mist Sect, Nalan Yanran, still has a narrow vision. Xiancheng nodded, indicating he agreed.

However, Xiao Yu had naturally heard from her grandfather that Xiancheng was at least at the Dou Master level. ”Your realm is higher than mine, so you have to go easy on me.”

She stood up and came before Xiancheng, speaking.

Xiancheng watched Xiao Yu’s beautiful legs walking toward him and nodded, ”Naturally, I will suppress my strength.”

In an instant, Xiao Yu suddenly burst forth, her long, beautiful leg kicking toward Xiancheng.

The area was crowded, and although everyone had the strength to protect themselves and didn’t fear accidental injury, Xiancheng didn’t want his harem members to end up disheveled. So, at the moment Xiao Yu exerted her strength, he retreated toward the back.

One chasing and one fleeing, the two directly left the Coming-of-Age Ceremony scene, leaving a group of girls staring at each other.

Ya Fei, being the oldest, quickly made a judgment: ”Let them go, we will wait for the ceremony.”

At this time, snow filled the sky and thick clouds gathered. Feather-like snowflakes fluttered down, dyeing the entire Wutan City and the rolling mountain forests with a layer of crystal-clear frost.

Looking out, it was a vast expanse of white, like a fairy-tale world wrapped in silver.

The two traveled quickly until they reached a secluded spot deep in the mountain forest. After confirming no one was around, they stopped, no longer needing to worry about accidentally injuring others.

Amidst the silver-wrapped mountain forest, two figures moved like darting swallows, agile and swift. ”For the sake of fairness, I will only use the strength of a Three-star Dou Practitioner.”

Before Xiancheng’s voice had even faded, Xiao Yu moved. Her jade leg, covered in Ice silk stockings, carried a sharp whistling sound as it aimed straight for his face.

The boy remained calm in the face of danger. With a flick of his fingers, three wisps of wind, barely perceptible to the naked eye, quietly bloomed.

The Dou Qi hit the girl’s long legs covered in Ice silk stockings with pinpoint accuracy. Where the stockings met her skin, a faint breeze seemed to brush past. He raised his hand, snaking it up the graceful curves like a dragon climbing a jade pillar.

The Ice silk stockings felt delicate and smooth against the skin; it was such an indescribably wonderful sensation.

”Ah!” Xiao Yu suddenly felt the back of her knee go soft, her strength instantly vanishing. Her knee pad rubbed violently against the hard bluestone ground, sending out stinging sparks.

Her figure staggered as she retreated. The earrings hanging by her ears also shook messily, and the hem of her black short skirt flew about wildly, momentarily revealing a glimpse of spring.

Building a Divine Bridge at the Dead End. There are two more chapters today.

037 Touching Xiao Yu

However, at this moment, the girl had no time to worry about such things. She only felt her cheeks burning as if scorched by fire. What a strange feeling... The girl’s face flushed like a peach blossom, and she felt incredibly shy, sensing an unprecedented and strange sensation surging within her body.

Like rushing lava, it flowed crazily through her limbs and bones, finally converging at her lower abdomen, making her mind waver. However, they were in the middle of a battle, and she absolutely could not be distracted!

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down and expel all distracting thoughts from her mind, once again locking her gaze on Xiancheng. She slowly grasped the sword hanging at her waist, about to draw it.

But she saw Xiancheng lightly grind his toe, crushing a silver ginkgo leaf in the crack of the bluestone tiles into fine powder.

Then, three wisps of clear wind flowed from between his fingers, turning into three incomparable Wind Blades that shot toward the girl. The Wind Blades stacked a second layer of force out of thin air.

This... is this the power a Three-star Dou Practitioner can exert?

The girl’s eyes widened, looking at everything before her in disbelief.

This power was definitely not something an ordinary Three-star Dou Practitioner could reach; it was at least the sum of the power of two or even three such practitioners.

There was no time for her to think. Xiao Yu leaned her body back, narrowly avoiding the sharp Wind Blade that swept past her face. The sharp blade grazed a nearby old pine tree knot, sending out a pungent smell of sulfur and sparks.

The moment she dodged the attack, Xiao Yu’s long left leg carved a three-inch-long scratch on the bluestone ground. She suddenly exerted force, her graceful body leaping into the air.

She intended to smash down on Xiancheng’s shoulder with the momentum of a mountain-splitting blow.

Just then, several more Wind Blades whistled toward her, hitting accurately around the girl, causing her figure to stall and freeze in mid-air.

Xiancheng seized this golden opportunity, closing in and concentrating his Three-star Dou Practitioner energy in his palm. He firmly supported the crook of her raised leg, forcing the girl into a split.

Xiancheng hung the girl’s long, beautiful leg over his shoulder with one hand, while the other hand pressed against the old pine tree behind her, trapping the girl between himself and the tree trunk, making her unable to move.

At this moment, the two were inches apart, almost face to face.

Xiancheng could even clearly see the girl’s completely flushed cheeks, feel the warm breath from her nose, and sense her rapid and erratic heartbeat.

At such a close distance, facing a man she found attractive, she felt incredibly embarrassed and distressed. ”C-can you let me down now?”
