Battle Through the Heavens: Soul Travels Through Clouds and Mountains, Becoming a Winning Artist

Chapter 14 The Xiao Family's Number One Long Legs!

Yun Congxin remembers that Xiao Yu was always described in just one sentence in the book.

[Sexy, shapely thighs]

Alas, I was still young back then, and all the beauties in the story were like the Steel Shadow, so Yun Congxin didn't realize at all just how exaggeratedly beautiful her legs were, as this leg beauty who was emphasized every time she appeared.

At the time, it seemed like nothing special.

Seeing it with my own eyes now, Yun Cong was awestruck by its divine beauty.

Firstly, because Xiao Yu is already quite tall, standing at around 1.8 meters, she can support an exaggeratedly long pair of jade-like legs. So, although her legs are stunning and dazzling, her overall body proportions are also very natural.

Secondly, Xiao Yu's legs are not only long, but also straight. This straightness doesn't mean they are thin and bony, but rather that they are firm and smooth, showing that the beautiful woman in front of you has maintained excellent habits since childhood, which is why she has such stunningly beautiful legs.

If the two points mentioned above are considered replicable beauties, and others can barely replicate them through maintenance and stretching, then such a perfect curve must be a gift from heaven, an unreplicable miracle!

These beautiful legs weren't thick like wine glasses, nor were they thin and bony like bamboo shoots; they were long, straight, and so white they reflected light. Even Yun Congxin, who had seen countless photoshopped, heavily filtered, and technologically enhanced legs, had never seen such stunningly beautiful legs.

"What a pity... Are the brains of these people on the Dou Qi Continent clogged with too much Dou Qi? Not a single one of them has invented high heels!" Yun Congxin thought to himself, feeling rather silly.

He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of the unacceptable thoughts that kept popping up, and wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand before leaning in.

Although my physical body is that old ghost Yunshan, who has lived for who knows how many years, my soul is still that young soul of Yun Congxin!

Yun Congxin mentally encouraged himself, and mustered his courage to strike up a conversation: "Little girl..."

In the dead of night, even the once bustling Xiao family home was now deserted, with only the lamp hanging from the eaves casting a dim light. The silence was unsettling, and Xiao Yu could almost hear the candle burning inside the lampshade. After getting up in the middle of the night, she always felt something following her, and a sense of panic made her want to hurry back to her room.

Just then, she heard Yun Congxin softly calling her name.

Yun Congxin's voice was very soft, yet it lingered in Xiao Yu's ears like the whisper of a wronged ghost.

Xiao Yu was so frightened that her waist went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

"Who... um..."

She almost instinctively wanted to shout, but Yun Congxin quickly covered her mouth.

"Don't shout, don't shout. I'm Xiao Yan's friend, I mean no harm. Please calm down, okay?" Yun Congxin looked into Xiao Yu's terrified eyes and said softly, "I'll let you go now, just don't cause trouble, okay..."

Upon seeing that the person who had startled her was a living, breathing person, Xiao Yu's fear instantly turned into anger. She completely ignored Yun Congxin's kind words of advice and delivered a vicious uppercut to Yun Congxin's abdomen.

Her fist, imbued with fighting spirit, slammed mercilessly into the abdomen of the despicable man before her, but it felt like hitting a steel plate. Not only was he unharmed, but the impact also made Xiao Yu's fist ache.

"Are you calm now? If you're calm, can you please stop acting recklessly and listen to me quietly?" Xiao Yu's movements seemed as slow as a tortoise in Yun Congxin's eyes, but Yun Congxin still didn't resist and took Xiao Yu's full-force attack. It wasn't just because the attack from a mere Dou Shi wasn't even enough to tickle him, but also because Xiao Yu's pale face made him realize that he had frightened her.

"...What do you want to do?" Although Xiao Yu realized after that attack that the mysterious man in front of her was very strong, much stronger than her grandfather, she still put her hands in front of her chest in a defensive stance.

Xiao Yu secretly resolved that if this person intended to do something wrong, she would rather commit suicide than let him succeed!

"Let me introduce myself. I'm a disciple of the Yunlan Sect, a friend of Xiao Yan. You can call me... Yun Shan." Yun Congxin was unaware of Xiao Yu's inner turmoil. He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "The matter is complicated and cannot be explained in a short time. Could you take me to see the Xiao family patriarch?"

"Ah...ah?"

Xiao Yu hadn't expected things to develop this way at all. Somewhat confused, she asked, "What's the matter that you have to say now? It's the middle of the night; Uncle Xiao must be asleep by now..."

After saying that, she looked at Yun Congxin suspiciously again and asked, "Are you really that little rascal Xiao Yan's friend?"

"Lead the way first, we can talk about any questions tomorrow. This is urgent, I need to see the Xiao family steward immediately," Yun Congxin urged.

Yun Congxin's attitude made Xiao Yu a little nervous. She whispered, "Then come with me... What happened? Did that rascal cause trouble?"

...Wait a minute, that's not right. Why does that tone sound a bit disdainful? I remember Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan are siblings, aren't they?

Yun Congxin was puzzled. He had completely forgotten that the young and impetuous Xiao Yan was a complete hooligan, and his relationship with Xiao Yu could only be described as chaotic. It was only after the Xiao family suffered a disaster that the siblings, who depended on each other for survival at Canaan Academy, reconciled, and only then did their familial affection melt away the previous unpleasantness.

"It's not exactly causing trouble, but Xiao Yan really made a big splash this time... However, his actions were too flamboyant, which caused some problems. That's why the old sect leader ordered me to come to the Xiao family to help you out."

"The old sect leader?"

"Yes, you don't know yet, do you? Xiao Yan defeated Nalan Yanran, the young sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, and gained the old sect leader's favor. The old sect leader gifted him a jade pendant for guest elders, with words personally engraved on it. Holding this pendant is like having the sect leader himself here!"

"That's amazing? Isn't that a good thing?"

"Yes, it was supposed to be a good thing," Yun Congxin sighed. "It's shameful to say, but the sect has been neglecting its management for years, and the arrogance of the Yunlan Sect disciples is common knowledge. Now there are plenty of scoundrels trying to kick the Xiao family while they can win the favor of beauties, and even more wicked bastards are stirring up trouble with the local bullies, all waiting to see the Yunlan Sect make a fool of itself, surrounded by wolves..."

"Is it that serious?" Xiao Yu asked worriedly.

"It's more serious than you think, which is why the old sect leader sent me here to quell the trouble," Yun Congxin lied without changing his expression. "But this time, with the Yunlan Sect backing you up, these troubles might not be such a bad thing as an opportunity."

As they spoke, Xiao Yu led Yun Congxin to a private room in the deep courtyard. There was a dog at the door of the room, a cat by the window, and a flower garden in the courtyard, creating a very lively atmosphere.

"Xiao Zhan keeps a dog... Hey, this dog is really well taken care of, it's plump and strong!" Yun Congxin muttered to himself as he gestured for Xiao Yu to knock on the door.

Yun Congxin hid his hands in his sleeves, his fighting spirit swirling silently in his palms like leaping sprites.

The gentle breeze drowned out all sound; the cat and dog were fast asleep and heard nothing.
