Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 120 Hu Jia, Xiao Xun'er (Two chapters combined, please subscribe)

Looking out, the endless plains were nothing but monotonous black.

The slightly gloomy, dark sky unconsciously creates a depressing and irritating atmosphere. It's no wonder that this eerie Black Corner Plain attracts fugitives from various countries of the Northwest Continent, giving rise to those chaotic rules.

"What happened outside? Why did the team stop?" Xiao Yue asked as the Canaan Academy's aerial team suddenly landed.

"We have received intelligence that a small black storm is about to hit the area ahead. There is no time to avoid it, so we have no choice but to stop and defend against it."

Ruolin began to explain.

Black storms are a unique meteorological disaster here. Every year, black storms that blot out the sky appear on the plains from time to time, killing countless people. If it is a large black storm, its power is enough to destroy a city. Even a Dou Wang level expert is at risk of falling. Fortunately, black storms of that level do not appear once every ten years or so.

Ruolin had only been speaking for a few minutes.
The already dim sky over the Black Corner Plain suddenly turned completely dark without any warning, and soon after, a howling wind suddenly swept down from the sky!

Some of the weaker students in the Canaan Academy group were suddenly swayed by the strong wind, and they were so frightened that they quickly grabbed onto anything around them.

"Whoosh—!"

The storm swept down from the dark sky, like a demon with its jaws wide open, devouring everything in its path.

Within the circle formed by the giant monsters' tails intertwined, the instructors and students hid, their weapons firmly embedded in the ground, fixing their bodies like nails.

Pitch blackness enveloped everyone.

Amidst the howling wind, no one could sense whether anyone was beside them. Even the alchemy students in the group, with their keen spiritual perception, were rendered ineffective at this moment. The oppressive feeling of having all five senses disabled was terrifying.

Xiao Yue did not join the Canaan Academy team in resisting the black storm. The instructors of Canaan Academy were all experienced, and this small storm was no problem for them. If something really happened, she would naturally step in.

in the dark,
Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows slightly.

She suddenly caught a whiff of an old friend's scent—the Soul Palace! Glancing at a place of unknown direction, she saw strange red lights flickering there, accompanied by faint, indistinct sounds.

Xiao Yue's eyes flickered slightly before she quietly crept over.

"Who are you? Why are you hunting me down? I don't think I've ever had any grudge against you!" A red soul swayed back and forth in the dark storm.

At this moment, he was facing the darkness, his face contorted with fear.

"Jie Jie~"

A chilling laugh echoed from the darkness, followed by a black chain that shot out like a black snake, nimbly coiling around the red soul.

"Uhh—!!"

The energy chains, seemingly formed from an extremely strange energy, had just touched the red soul when puffs of white smoke seeped out from its body, followed by a shrill scream that resounded throughout!

No matter how much the other struggled, even summoning a red flame from its soul, it still couldn't do anything to the black chains. The latter could only watch helplessly as its soul grew weaker and weaker until it was finally taken away by the chains.

"Hehehe~ No matter how glorious you were in life, even if you were once a Dou Wang powerhouse, once you become a soul body, you will become the target of my Soul Palace's hunting!" The harsh and unpleasant laughter echoed in the black storm.

"Uh!"

The ear-piercing laughter suddenly stopped!

Xiao Yue appeared behind him and struck him with a palm, shattering his soul.

"I didn't expect... that the Soul Palace would also be here." Xiao Yue shook her head, and then her figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

...

"Miss Xiao Yue, are you alright? I didn't see you when we were fighting the black storm."

Upon seeing Xiao Yue's return, Instructor Ruolin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly came to greet her.

"It's nothing, I was just accidentally swept away for a while..." Xiao Yue smiled and shook her head.

Ruolin, unsuspecting, said, "It's good that you're alright. That small black storm was quite fierce, but we had an experienced mentor in our team, so we managed to get through it safely."

Xiao Yue nodded.

After gathering up their scattered belongings, the Canaan Academy team continued their journey.

After a long flight, passing through several large cities in the Black Corner region, the entire flight team finally arrived at their destination—Canaan City.

……

……

"This is Canaan City? It truly lives up to its reputation as the most peaceful and prosperous city in the Black Corner Region..."

Xiao Yue's waist-length silver hair fluttered gently in the wind. She sat by the window of the flying magical beast, resting her chin on one hand, gazing leisurely at the scenery below.

below,

The outline of a magnificent city slowly appeared in the twilight of the setting sun.

The city's buildings are arranged in a staggered and orderly manner, possessing both the elegance and refinement of Western architecture and the simplicity and grandeur of Eastern architecture. The towering white spires point straight to the sky, contrasting with the low eaves, forming a unique and harmonious landscape.

"Woo~"

Xiao Cai also poked her little head out of the window, her beautiful light purple eyes full of curiosity.

at last,

The flying monster slowly landed at the 'airport' of Canaan City.

Instructor Ruolin gently raised her hand and knocked on Xiao Yue's door, saying softly, "Miss Xiao Yue, we've arrived."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue gently patted Xiao Cai's head and said with a smile, "Let's go, little one."

Xiao Cai excitedly jumped back onto Xiao Yue's shoulder, her big purple eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Afterwards, Instructor Ruolin led Xiao Yue out of the airport where the flying magical beasts were located. As soon as they got off the plane, the atmosphere was immediately surrounded by the liveliness and hustle and bustle of Canaan City.

The city's size and popularity are in no way inferior to the capital of the Gama Empire, and in the city center stands the renowned Canaan Academy in the Northwest Continent.

Canaan City can basically meet the daily needs of students. If they need to hunt magical beasts, they only need to leave the city to find a large forest, which is rich in natural treasures. Students of Canaan Academy can freely hunt magical beasts or gather herbs.

but,

Once you leave the city, you'll be in the chaotic and disorderly Black Corner Region... "Instructor Ruolin, I missed you so much!"

A woman's laughter drifted into Xiao Yue and the others' ears from afar. Then, a red figure flashed over quickly from a distance, and finally, with a grin, she grabbed Ruolin and touched her slender waist, teasingly saying, "Let me touch you and see if you've gained weight?"

Instructor Ruolin was somewhat helpless at the sudden hug. She gently pushed away the girl in the red dress, her eyebrows furrowing slightly and a blush rising on her cheeks. She scolded, "You little rascal, you're always so disrespectful. I'm an instructor at the academy."

The girl in the red dress didn't take it to heart at all; instead, she laughed heartily, her bright eyes sparkling with a lecherous light.

She grabbed Ruolin's arm and said playfully, "Oh dear, even if you're my mentor, don't be so serious. We finally get to meet, cheer up! You were blushing just now!"

"Huh...who is this silver-haired lady? She looks unfamiliar!" Then, the girl in the red dress looked Xiao Yue up and down with her bright eyes, seemingly quite interested in her.

She has a lively and active personality, and she can't help but want to get close to any pretty new face she sees.

"Sister, your hair is so beautiful, can I touch it?" The girl in the red dress giggled and reached out to touch Xiao Yue's cheek.

however,
Xiao Yue's reaction was unexpected. It seemed that the other party had seen through her attack route. Just as the girl in the red dress was about to touch Xiao Yue's cheek, Xiao Yue gently turned her head and skillfully avoided the touch.

The girl in the red dress missed her target, a look of surprise on her face, as if she hadn't expected Xiao Yue to react so quickly.

However, she did not give up. Instead, she laughed even more excitedly, quickly adjusted her posture, and moved closer to Xiao Yue like a mischievous kitten, preparing to launch another "attack".

this time,

Her target shifted to Xiao Yue's waist, intending to give her a surprise hug, but just as her arms were about to encircle Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue suddenly made her move.

Xiao Yue smiled slightly, reached out and gently grasped the wrist of the girl in the red dress. A faint smile appeared on her lips as she said, "Such presumptuous behavior is not a good habit."

The girl in the red dress was stunned by Xiao Yue's sudden grip. She blinked her eyes blankly, trying to break free from Xiao Yue's hold, but found that her wrist was firmly fixed in the air as if by iron clamps, and she could not move at all.

At this time,

A joyful voice came from afar.

"Sister Yue'er?"

As the crisp, pleasant sound of surprise faded away,

Then a figure in purple robes, carrying a fresh, youthful fragrance, rushed into Xiao Yue's arms.

"haven't seen you for a long time…"

Xiao Yue said with a light laugh, slightly opening her arms to let the girl rush into her embrace.

In the midst of the conversation,
She stretched out her long, slender, fair fingers and gently pinched Xiao Xun'er's delicate, flower-petal-like face. This adorable little girl who had been by her side since childhood had now grown into a graceful young woman.

At this moment, the girl had long, straight black hair that reached her waist, and white stockings that hugged her slender and long legs beautifully. Her graceful and slender curves exuded vitality and alluring youthful energy.

"Sister Xiao Yue, Xun'er has been eagerly anticipating this every day these past few days," Xiao Xun'er said softly, looking up at her.

A gentle smile appeared on Xiao Yue's lips. Taking advantage of her height, she reached out and gently stroked the slightly upturned pretty face of the girl in her arms.

Looking into the girl's eyes, which were overflowing with joy and anticipation, Xiao Yue felt a slight ripple in her heart.

This is the adorable girl she watched grow up...

"Xun'er...you...?"

The intimate interaction between the two left the girl in the red dress standing to the side somewhat stunned. She blinked, looking a little bewildered.

"Ahem, gentlemen, please be mindful of the occasion."

Seeing this, Instructor Ruolin, who was some distance away, coughed lightly, breaking the warm atmosphere of the reunion.

The streets were bustling with people at this time.

Although the residents of Canaan City were already used to the students of Canaan Academy, they still couldn't help but stop and take a few glances when they saw such a group of beautiful women gathered together.

Especially when the girl and the tall, silver-haired woman were embracing, some people on the street seemed to smell a different kind of lily fragrance.

Hearing Ruolin's cough, Xun'er, who was nestled in Xiao Yue's arms like a little bird, finally snapped out of her initial happiness and excitement at seeing the person she had been longing for. Instantly, a blush spread across her delicate, lotus-like face, and she quickly withdrew from Xiao Yue's embrace, then shrank behind Xiao Yue like a shy mimosa.

Xiao Yue smiled gently.
She held Xiao Xun'er's little hand as she had when they were children, then turned to look at the red-dressed girl standing there dumbfounded, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes, and said with a smile, "Little girl, it seems we haven't formally introduced ourselves yet."

The girl in the red dress snapped out of her daze, a slightly embarrassed smile appearing on her face. She scratched her head and said somewhat apologetically, "Oh dear, how rude of me. My name is Hu Jia, I'm a student at Canaan Academy, and I'm Xun'er's classmate."

Saying,

The girl in the red dress glanced back and forth between Xiao Yue and Xiao Xun'er, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. When she saw the two holding hands, she immediately sensed something unusual between them.

Normally, Xiao Xun'er would ignore her advances, but today, the usually reserved and aloof girl with long, straight black hair was now willing to throw herself into the arms of that tall, silver-haired woman!

I'm so...so envious!
If she could, she'd love to get a hug from Xun'er too! Of course, it would be even better if she could hug that tall, gentle, silver-haired older sister...

Hu Jia secretly fantasized in her heart, a mischievous smile appearing on her face. She quietly approached Xiao Yue and teased her in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Silver-haired sister, you and Xun'er are... hehe, I know, I know."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue couldn't help but shake her head with amusement. She gently pinched Hu Jia's nose and said, "Little girl, don't overthink things."

Hu Jia blinked, seemingly a little incredulous, but seeing Xiao Yue's frank gaze, she didn't say anything more. She could only awkwardly touch her nose, thinking: It seems I misunderstood. But since the two of them have such a good relationship, there will definitely be opportunities in the future!

"Also, you shouldn't call me Silver-haired Sister, you should call me Teacher..." Xiao Yue's lips curled up slightly. She had seen the list Ruolin had given her, so she said this.

"Teacher??" Hu Jia's eyes widened.

"So you're our mentor who's been missing for over two years!" Hu Jia jumped up excitedly; this was too thrilling.

Xiao Xun'er, who was in the distance, seemed to know what Hu Jia was thinking, so she snorted with some dissatisfaction. Her hand, which was being held by Xiao Yue, tightened even more, as if she was afraid that her Yue'er sister would be taken away by someone else.

"Sister Yue'er... Hu Jia doesn't like boys..." Xiao Xun'er whispered a few words in Xiao Yue's ear on tiptoe, informing her of Hu Jia's special situation that she liked girls.

Upon hearing her words, Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows slightly.

A girl who likes girls? That's quite rare, no wonder the girl in the red dress started touching Ruolin and her right away.

but,

Xiao Yue felt she had no right to lecture anyone on this, after all, she herself rarely interacted with men, and the people she knew were mostly queens, mature women, and cute younger sisters...
