Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

In three days, the spirit beasts will besiege the city. It is said that the spirit beasts besiege the city on that day every year. In the past, some powerful people have come to investigate why the spirit beasts would riot and besiege the town on that day, but in the end, they only got a rough conclusion.

“There is a mysterious power underground near Yanze City. This power leaks out once a year, and the leaked energy directly drives the growth of the power of spirit beasts. Some level six sacred beasts even use this power to undergo tribulation and become divine beasts.”

This power is extremely violent and cannot be withstood by the human body; only spirit beasts with thick hides and tough flesh can benefit from it.

With nothing else to do, Ye Huasheng asked the city lord about the matter of cultivating both internal and external strength. In fact, her body had been burned by the flames of the Black Flame and repaired to gain that kind of power. Yun Chuzhen briefly explained it to her.

This method of internal cultivation is similar to the one she used before her rebirth. The western region is lacking in spiritual energy, so cultivators are reluctant to use all their spiritual power, because that would mean that for a long time you would need to constantly absorb the thin spiritual energy to fill the void in your body. So when she was leading the army, she often only covered her vital parts with spiritual power and then relied on the most primitive attacks to repel the monsters. After being beaten by monsters many times, her body naturally became strong.

Three days later.

The siege by spirit beasts has finally begun. At this moment, the area in front of and on the city gates is filled with cultivators. They form small teams of a few people, each holding a variety of weapons, all eager to fight.

Ye Huasheng, Yun Che, and Yun Churong also stood on the city wall with the city lord Yun Chuzhen.

Yun Churong's face was serious, and she instantly released the aura of a third-level Spirit Master.

"Guests from afar, Yanze City has prepared food and enough low-grade first, second, and third-rank spirit pills for you. Please feel free to fight the spirit beasts and gain more rewards from each battle. However, I must make this clear beforehand: please act within your capabilities. If you lose your life due to greed, Yanze City will not be held responsible!"

"Rest assured, Lord City Lord, we understand the rules. We came here voluntarily. Our lives and deaths are preordained, and our wealth and honor are determined by fate!"

"Alright! Then let's prepare for battle!" Yun Chuzhen had barely finished speaking.

Dust billowed from the sand dunes in front of the city gate, accompanied by a rumbling sound. Leading the pack were sand scorpions, known for their speed on the sand. Each scorpion's sharp tail stood erect, its tip gleaming black, clearly indicating it contained potent venom.

A group of hairy spiders followed closely behind. All eight of their legs were covered with terrifying hairs, and sticky green silk could be vaguely seen around their mouths.

There were also spotted snakes, toothed rats, and centipedes… Looking at this diverse group of spirit beasts, Ye Huasheng suddenly realized why, despite the massive numbers of spirit beasts attacking the city every year, they hadn't become extinct. These spirit beasts reproduced extremely quickly; their nests were probably still full of eggs.

For a moment, the hairs on her body stood on end. After all, she was still a girl, and she still had some fear of such a spirit beast.

Seeing her like this, Yun Chuzhen thought she was in a hurry to make a move, so he reminded her:

“Feng Hua, the siege of the spirit beasts will last for a long time. What has come out now are just scouts. Let the people below deal with these low-level spirit beasts first. You can conserve your energy and deal with the sacred beasts that come out later.”

Ye Huasheng responded with a faint smile.

At this moment, the people below excitedly rushed forward, and spiritual energy surged everywhere. The team members cooperated perfectly. Some held shields to block the scorpion's venom, while others used longswords to attract the spider's attention. Then, their teammates seized the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

The human team worked together seamlessly, driving the spirit beasts back in defeat. Injured? No problem, there are healing pills to collect when they return to town.

Hungry? No problem, the city has prepared plenty of food to stave off hunger. Eat and get back to work.

At this moment, in their eyes, they were not fighting spirit beasts, but rather gleaming white spirit jade. With spirit jade, they could provide food and clothing for their families, pay for their children's schooling, and buy more things that would benefit their cultivation, improve themselves, and become stronger.

Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, Level 5, finally this is the last wave of Level 5 spirit beasts, and this siege of spirit beasts has lasted until noon.

Ye Huasheng watched with great excitement from the city gate, rubbing his hands together in anticipation. Meanwhile, the people below the city had been replaced. Those who were not strong enough had retreated back into the city and been replaced by a group of people with higher cultivation levels.

Finally, when the first Steel-Toothed Tiger, a Level 1 Sacred Beast, appeared, Ye Huasheng couldn't wait and rushed down with a "whoosh".

"Feng Hua!" Upon seeing this, Yun Che hurriedly tried to follow, but was stopped by Yun Chuzhen.

"With his strength, he's more than capable of dealing with these sacred beasts. If you go down there, he'll have to be distracted protecting you. Just stay here obediently."

Yun Che lowered his head in disappointment. He was too weak now, and staying by her side would only be a burden to her.

As for Ye Huasheng, once she entered the beast horde, she was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins. Each sacred beast was accompanied by some spirit beasts. Ye Huasheng held a curved knife the size of her palm. Every time the curved knife spun and slashed, blood splattered everywhere. The spirit beasts were directly slashed in vital points and fell silent. Before long, a pile of spirit beast corpses had been piled up around Ye Huasheng, and a clearing had been made around her.

Her method of close combat is precisely what Yun Chuzhen referred to as internal cultivation.

However, spirit beasts were too low-level for her, so she wasn't interested in their cores. She leaped over the mountain of corpses and headed straight for the level-two sacred beast that was issuing commands from behind.

Finally, someone found her.

"What is that!" As he exclaimed in surprise, more people looked at Ye Huasheng.

She moved with incredible agility, leaving behind a trail of corpses of mythical beasts wherever she went.

"He actually charged this far on his own, and he killed so many spirit beasts? Is he even human?!"

"He looks quite young, what a prodigy! Let's catch up with him quickly, or he'll wipe out all the sacred beasts by himself!"

The fighting spirit among the group intensified, but some observant individuals noticed upon arrival that the spirit beasts' cores hadn't been extracted. According to the rules, whoever hunted the spirit beast's core kept it. However, faced with such a large number of spirit beast corpses, one of them hesitated and asked:

"My lord, you haven't yet retrieved the beast cores of the spirit beasts you hunted!"

"The spirit beast cores are useless to me. Take them if you want them!" The boy's clear voice came from afar.

Then, a look of delight flashed in the eyes of the person asking the question:

"Thank you, sir!" These words caused a huge stir. Everyone on the field began frantically digging for beast cores, and even those who had gone back to rest returned to the city upon seeing this.

"Sigh, you're not strong enough, why are you out here again?"

"It's alright, that lord is here!" At this moment, Ye Huasheng became the backbone of everyone. Some people are born with the aura of a leader, so Ye Huasheng was a general who protected the country before, and he is a role model today.
