Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

The boy's eyes were clear and unwavering, showing no trace of a joke. However, before Ye Huasheng could speak, Su Fengyang, standing beside him, said directly:

"Hey bro, even though Feng Hua is a bit delicate-looking, she's a man. Have you ever seen a woman speak as fiercely as Feng Hua?"

Is that considered a compliment? Thank you!

The young man remained unmoved, still staring intently at Ye Huasheng.

"You can come with me if you want, but you have to call me brother. Also, you said they aren't good people, what have they done?"

“Brother, they need to cross this river to reach the palace on the other side, but spiritual power cannot be used in this river. A Spiritual Master tried to fly across, but fell into the river as soon as he got on it, and then the fire got bigger and bigger, burning him to ashes. So none of them dare to go across. They said to let the one with the lowest cultivation level try, but I'm the one with the lowest cultivation level here.” Ye Huasheng looked at the boy and saw that he was a Level 2 Holy Spirit cultivator and looked harmless. No wonder he was being bullied.

"However, if you want to come with me, how do you know I won't harm you?"

“I can sense that you and your brother are good people.”

"Heh, kid, don't think you've found a backer. Look at him, that pale-faced, weakling. What good will you get from teaming up with him? You'd be better off listening to us and going down there to try. We have a fifth-level Spirit Master here; they might still be able to rescue you in time," Ye Wanhai said grandly. The others echoed his sentiments.

"That's right. Look at the backer you found. He's just a level 5 Holy Spirit. What can he do?"

"Haha, with him around now, you're not the one with the lowest cultivation level anymore!"

The boy wasn't in a hurry, and answered weakly:

"Oh, then why didn't you save that person when he died?" He was simply stating a fact, yet he left them speechless, because he was right. Even if they wanted to save him, they probably couldn't have kept up with the speed of the flames.

Ye Huasheng saw through their true colors; a group of hypocritical people looking for scapegoats and stepping stones, yet they came up with so many excuses.

She grabbed the boy's hand, holding Su Fengyang's hand with her left and the boy's hand with her right, and walked towards the River of Fire without hesitation.

Ye Huasheng had saved Su Fengyang before, so he trusted her completely. The young man only knew that Ye Huasheng was kind-hearted, so he also trusted her unconditionally. The three of them walked firmly and unwaveringly.

Then Ye Huasheng's voice came out:

"No one is born strong. Everyone improves step by step through their own efforts. Today you laugh at me, you are laughing at your past selves. In the future, you will not even be worthy of looking up at me."

After saying that, she led the two of them and plunged into the river of fire.

Those surrounding her hurriedly backed away when they saw her jump right in.

"She's crazy! Back off!"

Just as she was about to enter the water, her voice reached their ears softly:

"Don't use your spiritual power. You can all swim, right? Since even the Spirit Sect can't fly there, we'll swim. Also, don't let go of my hand." After cultivating for so long, they forgot that they also started as ordinary humans, and humans have a survival instinct.

To Ye Huasheng's surprise, she had thought that the flames would cause her excruciating pain, but instead, it was so warm inside. The fire gently washed over her body, and with each wash, she felt a little more relaxed, and it even brought out the impurities in her body.

This is marrow cleansing!

In contrast, the other two had their skin burned red by the flames, but were not in mortal danger.

"The flames in this river of fire have the function of cleansing the marrow. You two focus on dealing with it, and I will lead you across." As for Ye Huasheng, she didn't need any guidance at all; the flames cleansed her marrow on their own.

The two looked at Ye Huasheng and saw that he seemed unharmed.

He roared inwardly: "Comparison is the thief of joy! But thankfully, this person is on the same side, haha."

The onlookers were stunned to see that they were unharmed and swimming around inside.

Wei Xiangyang reacted the fastest:

"Let's swim across without using our spiritual power. Let's hurry, or they'll get there first."

"Okay." As for why Wei Xiangyang was so kind as to tell them, he didn't know what the situation was inside the palace, so he naturally wanted them to scout ahead.

In a panic, everyone jumped in like ducks into water, followed by cries of agony.

"Ouch!! That hurts!!"

"I'm on fire!!"

Ye Wanhai's eyebrows were almost burned off.

Even Wei Xiangyang couldn't help but shout out:

"how so!"

Meanwhile, Su Fengyang and the boy swimming ahead were completely dumbfounded as they listened to the pig-like screams from behind.

It doesn't seem to hurt that much, does it? Sure enough, they're getting old and useless.

Little did they know that Huo He had only exerted a little force on the two of them out of respect for Ye Huasheng; if they had come on their own, they would have suffered the same fate as the others.

The river became shallower and shallower, and the three of them finally crossed it successfully. Ye Huasheng actually advanced directly to the sixth level of the Holy Spirit after the marrow cleansing, and there were faint signs of a breakthrough.

Su Fengyang didn't level up, but the young man did level up and became a level three Holy Spirit cultivator.

There was no time to congratulate each other. Although there were howls behind them, they were indeed moving forward. At this moment, the palace gates opened wide. Time was money, so they rushed into the gates. The road was very, very long. They had already exchanged names but had not yet reached the end. Ye Huasheng also learned that the boy's name was Yun Che, a name that suited him very well.

Finally, a glimmer of light appeared ahead. The three of them hurried in and then closed their eyes at the same time. The long period of darkness had made their eyes particularly sensitive to light.

After adjusting to the surroundings, I opened my eyes and was stunned by the sight before me. Four pillars stood tall, each entwined with a burning fire dragon, its form lifelike, as if it were about to soar into the sky. However, the area around the pillars was a mess, with fire spirit mushrooms, fire corals, golden bottles, and golden tables shattered all over the ground, as if a fierce battle had just taken place.

The only part that is still relatively intact is a round platform in the very center of the pillar and a dragon-shaped jade pendant on top of the platform.

"Feng Hua, this ruin is fake, isn't it? There aren't any treasures here." Yun Che asked doubtfully.

Su Fengyang glanced at him, as if to say: Brother, what you asked is what I also wanted to ask.

Logically speaking, shouldn't this place be overflowing with treasures? What's going on with all this broken walls and ruins? They were the first to arrive, so they shouldn't have been beaten to it. Could it be that the seemingly shabby jade pendant is a treasure?

Shabby? If his owner knew you said his things were shabby, he would definitely turn his head away.

“Look, there’s something on that round platform!” Ye Huasheng said.

The two of them looked at the round platform at the same time.

Then he heard Su Fengyang shout:

“It’s golden, it’s a small snake. Given its color and its location in these ruins, it’s probably a mutated snake. Its bloodline must be extraordinary. Feng Hua, go and take it away quickly.” Su Fengyang had never seen Ye Huasheng’s beast before and assumed that she definitely didn’t have a contracted beast yet, so he sent her to do so.

The snake that was called "Little Snake":

"!!! You're the snake, your whole family are snakes, I am the one!! Fine, I'm tired now, I'll let you live a little longer."
