Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

On the boundless sea, the wind was calm and the waves were still. Occasionally, seabirds would fly by. Ye Huasheng sat at the bow of a large ship, feeling the salty sea breeze, and his thoughts couldn't help but return to the past few days.

After leaving Yanze City, she calculated that there was still a month before the Holy City Academy's enrollment, which was plenty of time, so she planned to continue her training.

There are two ways to get to the Holy City: by land or by water. Originally, she thought that since she hadn't reached the Spirit Sect yet and couldn't fly, fighting on land would be the best option. However, after exchanging the Spirit Jade, she overheard a rumor.

"Brother, have you heard? There's something good on that nameless island after you cross the Thousand Straits!"

"It's a desolate place, what good stuff could there be? Besides, I've passed by there several times, and I haven't seen anything different."

"It's what the people who recently went beachcombing said. They said a big bulge suddenly appeared on the ground of that island, and it's constantly absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth. There must be a great treasure there!"

"Since we have nothing else to do, why don't we go and take a look? Maybe we can even get something out of it!"

"This is what I also wanted to tell you. My cousin said that the price of the boat to go there has risen to 1,000 spirit jades per person. We probably can't afford to go," he said with some regret.

"Damn, a thousand jade, ten times the usual price! Is this robbery?! No wonder there have been so many rich kids at the dock these past few days, they're all here for this. You'd better tell your cousin to be careful. If this news is true, that's fine, but if it's false, these big families definitely won't let it go." Although the man spoke a bit roughly, what he said was indeed true.

"Have you two brothers ever been to that nameless island? I'll pay for your boat fare. Would you be willing to show us the way?" The two men were overjoyed. They had wanted to go but had been stopped by the expensive boat fare. Now that someone was paying for their boat fare just to show them the way, where else could they find such a sure-fire business opportunity?

The two quickly looked at the source of the voice, but a hint of hesitation flashed in their eyes, because the speaker was a boy who looked very young.

And this person was none other than Ye Huasheng.

Ye Huasheng, who was not far from them, easily overheard their conversation. Then she asked Jiuling, but Jiuling did not sense any spiritual energy fluctuations. However, Jiuling also said that if something is not alive and cannot be sensed even when it is not present, then that thing is likely a weapon. Combined with the fact that people saw spiritual energy entering, it is very likely that a divine artifact is absorbing energy in preparation for breaking out of the ground. And she just happens to be missing a suitable weapon.

Ye Huasheng easily saw the doubt in their eyes. With a flick of her wrist, a heavy pile of spirit jade appeared in her hand.

"Brothers, I won't pursue whether this matter is true or false. Besides, I want to go and see for myself. Even if it's not you, I'll find someone else." The two men exchanged glances and then readily agreed.

"Then thank you very much, young brother. My name is Wang Cheng, and his name is Zhao Yu. May I ask your honorable name, brother?"

"Brilliance".

"Brother Fenghua, if we hurry up we might still be able to get a seat on the ship." Then the two of them rushed to the dock and boarded the ship worth a fortune.

Suddenly, a cool sea breeze brought Ye Huasheng back to reality, and then she heard Wang Cheng's voice:

"Brother Fenghua, we'll be there in a little while. The sea breeze is cold, why don't you go back to your cabin and rest for a while?"

Ye Huasheng looked up at the sun, which was obscured by clouds:

"Brother Cheng, is there any wind or rain at sea today?"

"Wind and rain? No way, at this time of year, it's sunny every day." As he spoke, Wang Cheng looked up at the sky. More and more clouds were appearing, gradually changing from blue to dark gray. He was puzzled. This season is the fishing season every year, so the sunny weather should last for a long time. Why is the sky turning cloudy? Then, based on his usual experience at sea, he discovered something incredible.

“Brother Fenghua, I have been making a living in this sea area for many years. If I am not mistaken, the location of that dark cloud seems to be the nameless island, which is where we are going.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Huasheng stood up immediately, gazing into the distance. A cold wind surrounded him, and in front of him were piled-up clouds. Logically, such a large cloud layer should have brought rain, but not a single drop fell. Looking more closely at the dark clouds, he noticed occasional flashes of light within them.

It's not raining!

It's a tribulation of lightning!

The light in the dark clouds is lightning gathering! Could it be that the time has come for that divine artifact to emerge from the ground?

"Brother Cheng, several groups of people have recently gone to this nameless island."

Seeing Ye Huasheng's urgency, Wang Cheng guessed that the treasure was about to be unearthed, and he quickly called Zhao Yu out.

"Yu Zi, you have a lot of information. Do you know how many ships have gone to Nameless Island?"

"Including the five ships we've been on today."

Five boats, each capable of holding about forty people, and including those who hadn't arrived yet, a total of two hundred people went.

"Brother Cheng, go tell the captain that the treasure is about to be unearthed. If he still wants to get some benefits, tell him to hurry up." Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng and Zhao Yu hurriedly went into the cabin to deliver the message.

Oh dear, we've come all this way, we shouldn't miss it.

The ship was accelerating at a visible speed, cutting through the waves as it headed straight for its destination. However, Ye Huasheng was also puzzled; why was the formation of the lightning tribulation so slow?

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the lightning tribulation was not only slow to form, but also exceptionally massive. The dark clouds had almost spread across half the island, and in the area not covered by the dark clouds, a dense crowd of people stood.

It seems there's still time; the divine artifact hasn't been unearthed yet, and the tribulation lightning hasn't struck.

The ship docked, and the people on board rushed off to the small island, afraid of missing out on some treasure. Ye Huasheng, however, was in no hurry. Judging from the situation, the tribulation lightning would not fall for a while.

At this moment, the people in front burst into shouts, and Ye Huasheng looked over curiously.

Then I couldn't help but exclaim:

"Holy crap, there are two!"
