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

51: Section 51”I can go back and hand it over to the group.” Just then,

A flurry of dense footsteps clearly reached the ears of Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yi Xian, coming from afar, growing louder and louder.

Xiao Yi Xian’s face suddenly turned pale, and she hurriedly explained:

”It wasn’t me who called them!” ”Nor was it me!”

Linger’s small face was equally pale; this situation was truly too prone to misunderstanding.

Yun Xiancheng remained calm in the face of danger. Stretching out his long arms, he pulled Xiao Yi Xian and Linger tightly into his embrace. His expression was as serene as water, and his voice carried a convincing strength:

”I believe you.”

Although Xiao Yi Xian didn’t know why Yun Xiancheng would suddenly pull her into his arms, seeing his calm and deep eyes, she gradually felt at ease. She leaned her head gently against his chest and whispered:

”Mm. As long as you believe us.”

Linger, with her small face flushed red and her heart thumping incessantly, lay on Yun Xiancheng’s other side.

Why did Yun Xiancheng suddenly hug them? Firstly, it was to take the opportunity to take a little advantage.

Xiao Yi Xian’s body was actually very soft, her waist being the most noteworthy part. As the footsteps drew closer, an arrogant voice rang out.

”Hehe, Xiao Yi Xian, thank you for leading the way. It seems the information I received was indeed not false!”

A dozen figures slowly emerged from the darkness outside the door. A familiar, faint laugh rang out triumphantly within the stone room. ”Mu Li!”

Hearing this voice, Xiao Yi Xian immediately gritted her teeth.

But as soon as Mu Li entered, he saw Yun Xiancheng, Xiao Yi Xian, and Linger all huddled together, and his face turned red instantly.

It wasn’t the shy red of a young lady, but the kind of red from being explosive with rage. ”You... you... you...”

He was so angry that he was momentarily speechless.

This was the second purpose of suddenly hugging Xiao Yi Xian. ”Adulterous couple!”

Mu Li roared, but he quickly calmed down and mocked, ”But unfortunately, you adulterous couple will soon be dead.”

”How did you find out about this place?” Xiao Yi Xian frowned.

”You should know, I have never told anyone other than my assistant!”

”The answer is obvious, isn’t it, Xiao Yi Xian? If you surrender now, I will be merciful and let you live, so you can see how our Wolf Head Mercenary Group conquers Qingshan Town!”

Mu Li sneered.

Hearing that it was her own assistant who had betrayed her, her heart tightened sharply, and her hands rested weakly against Yun Xiancheng’s body.

A sense of loneliness and helplessness washed over Xiao Yi Xian. This—

Yun Xiancheng whispered in her ear:

”It’s okay, Xiao Yi Xian, I am by your side.”

Hearing Yun Xiancheng’s gentle words, Xiao Yi Xian’s sense of helplessness vanished instantly. ”Xiancheng, you said you would protect me, right?”

She spoke softly in Yun Xiancheng’s arms. ”Naturally, my lady.”

Yun Xiancheng held Xiao Yi Xian and Linger with both hands, then looked toward Mu Li.

”A mercenary group without even a Great Dou Master... A frog at the bottom of a well, how dare you bark like a common thug?” ”A mere Dou Practitioner dares to be so arrogant?”

Young Master Mu Li was a six-star Dou Practitioner. He considered himself a genius, and he believed this youth before him, who looked about fifteen or sixteen, couldn’t possibly be stronger than him! ”Cut the crap, all together now!”

Following Mu Li’s shout, five brilliant sword lights moved simultaneously. Then, without any suspense, five streaks of blood flashed.

Five mercenaries fell to the ground with a thud, their headless corpses still spraying blood outward. !?

The remaining mercenaries never expected such a thing to happen; the expressions on their faces turned to terror. ”You—”

Mu Li looked at Yun Xiancheng’s young face and finally squeezed out these words: ”You’re not a Dou Practitioner!?”

Immediately after, another sword light flashed, carving a hideous deep gash across his chest.

Falling to the ground along with his corpse were the headless bodies of four other mercenaries. Yun Xiancheng performed his Dou Technique once more, slaying the remaining people.

Seeing Yun Xiancheng kill people like chopping melons and vegetables, Xiao Yi Xian was also stunned. She hadn’t expected this seemingly gentle person to be so ruthless when it came to killing.

”Why leave his corpse intact?” Xiao Yi Xian asked.

”Mm. I like them air-dried.”

A meaningful smile appeared on Yun Xiancheng’s face.

101 Two Days with the Young ladies

”Do you think if someone sees this corpse many years from now, they will think it’s some kind of funeral tradition?”

Yun Xiancheng took out a rope and hung Mu Li’s corpse high up on the cliff, leaving it to endure the wind and rain as a warning. He turned around and looked at Xiao Yi Xian and Linger beside him.

Xiao Yi Xian stared blankly at Yun Xiancheng’s act of hanging the corpse, feeling a bit dazed. She never imagined that the elegant, gentlemanly Yun Xiancheng would do something so chilling.

After a moment, she suddenly smiled beautifully, like a melting iceberg or a hundred flowers in bloom, and said softly:

”I think I understand why you didn’t think my poison cultivation was a bad thing. It turns out you, Xiancheng... are also a ruthless person.”

Looking at Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Xiancheng, Linger felt they seemed to share many secrets. However, being carefree, she sat right down next to Yun Xiancheng:

”I didn’t expect the Young Master to have such interests.” ”What, were you two scared?”

Yun Xiancheng sat cross-legged beside her and asked.

The bright moonlight poured down, splashing onto his snow-white clothes, making him look even more handsome, elegant, and ethereal. ”Scared? You aren’t even afraid of me... so why would I be afraid of you?”

Xiao Yi Xian replied. Linger nodded:

”I was a little scared, but since it’s something the Young Master did, Linger can accept it.”

”Mm, don’t be afraid. This is my creed in life: toward those close to me, I will be as warm as spring. But toward my enemies, I will be as cruel as winter.”

Xiao Yi Xian also leaned in and sat beside Yun Xiancheng. The moonlight stretched the shadows of the three very, very long. At the end of the shadows, their figures were close together, like a perfect match.

”It’s really good to be your friend.”

Compared to before, she felt the distance between herself and Yun Xiancheng had shortened significantly. ”You are the people close to me.”

Yun Xiancheng’s words carried a strong sense of possessiveness, but Xiao Yi Xian seemed to completely misunderstand the concept, taking ’people close to me’ to simply mean friends.

Linger’s small face turned red, but she said nothing. ”What do you plan to do for the next two days?” Yun Xiancheng softly changed the subject.

”Me? Naturally, I’m going to study that Poison Scripture. And you?” ”I’ll stay with you.”

Yun Xiancheng answered without hesitation.

Xiao Yi Xian’s pretty face flushed. She lightly tapped his shoulder and grumbled playfully:

”What nonsense are you talking?” ”I’m serious.”

Yun Xiancheng’s gaze was burning as he nodded seriously. ”Two days from now, we will return to Qingshan Town to kill.”

Xiao Yi Xian’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she responded excitedly, ”Mm!”

Yun Xiancheng sat cross-legged at the edge of the cliff, quietly watching the sun rise and the moon set, feeling the passage of time.

When the morning sun rose, Xiao Yi Xian would silently stand behind Yun Xiancheng, holding the Poison Scripture and reading it carefully, occasionally closing her eyes to meditate, immersed in the mysteries of the Way of Poison.

Linger sat to the side practicing. For some reason, she summoned her courage and rested her head on Yun Xiancheng’s lap.

She stuck her tongue out slightly, her small face a bit red. Yun Xiancheng rubbed her head.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi Xian felt a twinge of sourness in her heart, but she didn’t show it. The three of them spent the time peacefully.

And when the bright moon hung high and Linger was asleep to the side, Xiao Yi Xian would unconsciously move to Yun Xiancheng’s side, then muster her courage to secretly lie in his arms.

Yun Xiancheng seemed to notice and let out a questioning sound. ”Xiancheng... you won’t mind, will you?”

A young lady who has fallen in love always becomes exceptionally proactive and brave.

Yun Xiancheng smiled slightly, raised his hand, and subconsciously rubbed her soft hair, saying in a gentle tone, ”I don’t mind. Sleep.”

Xiao Yi Xian looked up, a trace of concern in her beautiful eyes as she asked softly:

”Aren’t you... going to rest?” ”I can rest while sitting.”

Hearing Yun Xiancheng say this, Xiao Yi Xian finally felt relieved. She slowly closed her eyes, a sweet smile playing on the corners of her mouth.

And so, two days passed in the blink of an eye. Almost before the two Young ladies could savor it, they had to leave. Xiao Yi Xian was observant and seemed to have noticed the situation between Yun Xiancheng and Linger.

She took out her herb-gathering basket and adjusted the size so that Linger could barely stand inside. Yun Xiancheng carried Linger on his back and said with a smile:

”Linger, hold on tight to me then.” ”Mm!”

Linger hugged Yun Xiancheng’s body tightly, not daring to let go.

Xiao Yi Xian gave him a playful, annoyed look, then proactively dove into Yun Xiancheng’s arms, finding a comfortable position. ”Let’s go.”

Yun Xiancheng once again picked up Xiao Yi Xian in a princess carry, and a pair of wings as white as clouds unfolded from his back.

Experiencing flight again, Xiao Yi Xian no longer felt the nervousness and shyness of the first time. In Yun Xiancheng’s warm embrace, what she felt was a full sense of security.

”After the killing is done, where do you plan to go?”

After landing, Xiao Yi Xian asked softly. Yun Xiancheng thought for a moment and said slowly:

”To find my junior sister. I came out this time to accompany her for experience and to be her Dao Protector.” Xiao Yi Xian looked blankly at Yun Xiancheng, her eyes filled with complex emotions, and finally, she just softly uttered: ”Mm, you are really good to your junior sister.”

Yun Xiancheng smiled slightly, reached out, and gently hugged her, saying softly, ”I am good to everyone close to me.”

Afterward, the two separated, putting a bit of distance between them. They each tidied their gear and headed toward the mercenaries’ camp. At this time, the mercenary camp still had a scale of about sixty or seventy people. Some peripheral mercenaries who went out hunting had suffered some losses. Especially the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, which had lost over a dozen people.

There were over a hundred people when they first set out, and only seventy or eighty remained upon their return. The casualty rate this time was quite high.

”Xiao Yi Xian... our Young Group Leader Mu Li, do you know where he went?”

As soon as they saw Xiao Yi Xian, the members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group surrounded her aggressively, wanting to ask about their Young Group Leader’s whereabouts. Their tone was unfriendly; it was less of an inquiry and more of a confrontation.

Yun Xiancheng’s gaze turned cold. Without hesitation, he struck, instantly slashing the throat of a mercenary who was too close to Xiao Yi Xian. ”I said... don’t get too close to her.”

Shocked by that icy gaze and the decisive killing, the originally aggressive mercenary group members retreated repeatedly, trembling like cicadas in winter, no longer daring to say anything more.

”I have only been gathering herbs in the mountains these past three days. How would I know where he went?”

Xiao Yi Xian’s expression was calm as she brushed them off. ”Alright, we should head back to Qingshan Town.”

The mercenaries of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group naturally didn’t believe Xiao Yi Xian’s explanation, but since she had said so, they had no choice but to drop it. However, their eyes were gloomy, clearly harboring resentment.

Seeing this, Yun Xiancheng frowned. Xiao Yi Xian noticed and whispered, ”Should I use some methods?”

Yun Xiancheng nodded. ”Let me do it instead.”

Linger said, running back to her own group of mercenaries and calling out a few times.

Then, a group of people aggressively surrounded the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. Without a word, they brandished their weapons and began attacking them.

The Wolf Head mercenaries never expected them to actually dare to strike. In an instant, they suffered heavy casualties. Before long, they were wiped out completely.

According to the original order, Linger’s behavior was quite bold and would disrupt the original balance of Qingshan Town, leading to conflict. But...

She believed that Yun Xiancheng would definitely be able to deal with the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

102 Helpless Xiao Yi Xian?

Qingshan Town was still the same vivid image in Xiao Yi Xian’s memory.

Familiar streets and shops, bustling crowds—everywhere was filled with vitality.

Xiao Yi Xian took a deep breath. That long-lost mundane atmosphere rushed into her lungs, giving her a slight illusion of being separated by a lifetime.

After the mercenary group disbanded, the members went their separate ways, returning to their lodgings in town. As for the members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group?

On the way back, the people of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group had a clash with the Wolf Head members and killed them all. Yun Xiancheng had a young lady on either side of him, looking like a wealthy young master enjoying the company of multiple beauties.

”Young Master Xiancheng, Linger is going back now. I’ll look forward to our next meeting,” Linger said.
