Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

Near the sea on that island, there was a huge circular pit. Floating on the pit was a round black sphere of light. The black sphere of light was surrounded by a thick spiritual energy of heaven and earth. You could vaguely see something inside, but you couldn't make out its shape. What was certain was that it was a divine artifact inside!

Beside the sphere of light, leaning against the shore was a beast with a human body and a fish tail. She had sea-blue hair and sapphire-like eyes. Her upper body was resting on the shore, and her long blue tail hung in the sea.

It's a mermaid!

Mermaids are a special species. They are born with a human body and an animal tail and cannot go ashore. Only after they become divine beasts will their tails turn into legs and they will be able to walk on land.

However, not many mermaids become divine beasts. Most of them are good at assisting others and do not have a strong beast body, so they cannot withstand the cleansing of lightning tribulations.

This mermaid, having borrowed the power of the divine artifact, hoped to use it to overcome her tribulation, hoping it would give her a chance to survive.

At this moment, her breathing was unstable, and she was using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around the divine artifact to replenish her body, which was still that of a sacred beast. That was why the tribulation lightning had not yet struck.

She glanced at the humans surrounding her, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"If any human is willing to swear an oath to the heavens and sign an equal contract with me to shield me from some of the lightning tribulation, I will repay them with my utmost loyalty." She knew that her survival was difficult, but if a master could shield her from some of the lightning tribulation, she might be able to live. She still had grudges to settle, how could she die!

In order to survive, she made a gamble, betting her freedom for the rest of her life.

However, those present hesitated to act. Swearing an oath to the heavens meant that the oath had to be kept. If they failed, they would be punished by the heavenly beings of the upper realm. The tribulation of lightning was no small matter. How could these people withstand it with their flesh and blood? In that case, not only would they fail to obtain the divine beast, but they would also lose their lives in vain.

Despair flashed in the mermaid's eyes. Just as she was absorbing spiritual energy and preparing to deal with the lightning tribulation on her own, a voice rang out.

"I, Feng Hua, hereby swear that after becoming the master of the mermaid, I am willing to shield her from the tribulation of lightning." A beam of light surrounded Ye Huasheng, and the oath was complete. Ye Huasheng did not use her real name; the oath was made for this person, regardless of her real name. If she broke the oath, the God of Punishment would appear and kill her.

Then she continued:

"Would you be willing to sign an equal contract with me, and stay by my side from now on?"

“I do, my dear master, my name is Lan Ying.”

With the formation of the rules of heaven and earth, a connection was formed between the two of them.

The people around, witnessing what was happening, immediately erupted into an uproar.

"Whose kid is this? He's so greedy, he's got a death wish! Does he really think this tribulation is child's play?"

"These days, there are so many ignorant and arrogant people. Let's see how he tries to withstand this tribulation. I'm afraid he won't even be left with ashes in the end."

Lan Ying's eyes sparkled with joy, because she sensed that there was an even more powerful being in her master's contract, and she was sure she could survive!

Lan Ying's body erupted with power, the power of a level six sacred beast bursting forth. The lightning tribulation also detected her presence, and a rumbling sound echoed in the sky. A sacred beast needs to undergo three lightning tribulations to upgrade to a divine beast, and a divine artifact also needs to undergo three to be unearthed. Therefore, they had to withstand a total of six lightning tribulations.

Ye Huasheng went all out, unleashing his full spiritual power as a level three Holy Spirit Warrior.

With a loud boom, two bolts of lightning struck simultaneously, one towards the divine artifact breaking through the ground, and the other towards Lan Ying.

Lan Ying was about to go forward when Ye Huasheng blocked her way.

"Lan Ying, prepare for the final tribulation." Only by experiencing the final tribulation can Lan Ying truly be reborn, so she must endure the final one.

As the first bolt of lightning was about to strike, Ye Huasheng used the momentum to leap up, gathering all his spiritual power in his hands to create a spiritual energy shield.

Lightning bolts scattered down along the shield, creating holes in the island. Then, a soft cracking sound rang out, and the spiritual energy shield, unable to withstand the impact of the subsequent lightning, shattered into pieces.

Ye Huasheng did not back down; she simply took the remaining lightning bolts with her own body.

In the vast world, it seemed as if she were the only one left; Lan Ying's eyes were now fixed on the small figure standing in front of her.

People's attention was inevitably drawn to it.

A sharp pain shot through her entire body as lightning entered her. Her limbs suddenly went numb, and she fell downwards, landing directly on a clump of fluffy long fur. It was Jiu Ling who appeared and caught her.

Jiuling placed her next to Lan Ying, and her body became even larger.

The second bolt of lightning arrived in an instant, two more bolts in total, and both of them were aimed at Lan Ying.

With a low growl, Jiuling firmly protected Ye Huasheng and Lan Ying beneath its body. With its head held high, two bolts of lightning struck Jiuling directly. Jiuling staggered from the impact, kneeling on one knee. Its beautiful fur was charred black, but a fighting spirit shone in its eyes.

With a push of its hind legs, it leaped into the sky and collided with the remaining Lei Chong. A series of crackling sounds rang out, and Jiu Ling landed safely. Its spiritual power surged instantly, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, transforming from a level three divine beast into a level four divine beast. At the same time, it proudly raised its head, and a pure white tail grew from its back, breaking through to two tails.

Nine-tailed spirit cat, two tails, invincible!

The upgrade of Jiu Ling instantly healed Ye Huasheng's injuries.

At that moment, the third bolt of lightning struck.

Lan Ying stood beneath the thunderbolts. This was the last one. Once she passed this ordeal, she would truly be reborn. Her eyes were filled with confidence and she showed no sign of backing down, because she was no longer alone; she now had a master.

Ye Huasheng was continuously channeling spiritual energy into Lan Ying's body to help her. Lan Ying's body was in a lot of pain, but her heart had never been so passionate. Finally, it was over.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the sun shone brightly.

Lan Ying's beautiful fish tail transformed into two long legs, and her scales transformed into a shimmering, light blue dress. She officially upgraded to a first-level divine beast.

Then the crowd rushed forward shouting:

"The divine artifact has materialized! Hurry and grab it!"

That's right, the mythical beast has a master, but the divine artifact doesn't yet! Divine artifacts also choose their own masters, so we can't miss this opportunity.

How could Ye Huasheng give them a chance? Right now, she's the closest she'll ever get to the divine artifact!

She reached out, and the artifact landed in her hand without any resistance.

Lan Ying looked at the crowd rushing towards her and grabbed Ye Huasheng's hand.

"Master, come with me." Lan Ying led Ye Huasheng into the sea without hesitation. After entering the water, the two quickly disappeared, leaving everyone empty-handed.

What's amazing is that Ye Huasheng, who was led into the sea by Lan Ying, was able to breathe in the sea. Upon closer inspection, it was found that her body was isolated from the sea, and then small bubbles would enter and bring in oxygen.

Lan Ying noticed Ye Huasheng's question and explained:

"Master, this is a skill unique to mermaids." Lan Ying in the sea seems even more beautiful now.

Mermaids are indeed the darlings of the sea.
