Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

At this moment, after Ye Huasheng and his two companions entered the ice gate, when their feet touched the ground again, they were greeted by a huge snow mountain.

The snow-capped mountainside was visible to the naked eye. Above that, thick clouds covered the area. The snow and wind here were much stronger than where they had just entered. In a short while, the three of them were covered in snow, and Yun Che's eyelashes were also covered with a layer of snow, making his already clear eyes appear even clearer.

For some reason, Yun Che's body was not as good as Ye Huasheng's and Su Fengyang's, so after standing in the wind and snow for a while, his face was already red from the cold. Ye Huasheng looked at the snow mountain in front of her, looking for a place to shelter from the wind and snow. Then, her eyes flashed with surprise. There were actually some steps on the side of the snow mountain, leading directly to the top of the snow mountain.

If there's a road, there must be something on it!

"Fengyang, there are steps on the side of the snow mountain, let's go up!" Su Fengyang looked carefully and sure enough, there were steps, but they were blocked by the white snow and were not easy to see unless you looked closely.

"Feng Hua, I'll go scout ahead." Su Fengyang leaped up with his tall figure, flying straight towards the steps of the snow mountain. He got closer and closer, and just as his feet were about to step onto the steps, an unexpected event occurred. His body suddenly tilted and then fell straight down. Ye Huasheng was about to go up and catch him when she heard his voice.

"Jinze".

Su Fengyang shouted, and Jinze appeared instantly, catching the falling Su Fengyang. The two landed safely on the ice.

Su Fengyang shook the snow off his head.

“Feng Hua, there’s something strange about those steps. When I stepped onto them, a force repelled me. My spiritual energy suddenly became depleted. It seems that even the Spirit Sect’s ability to fly through the air can’t reach these steps.”

“If we can’t fly up, then we’ll climb up. Since this place is strange, it’s the most likely place to hide spirit stones, and it’s also the closest to us right now. If we search elsewhere, it might take much longer.” Most importantly, although Yun Che was trying to hold back, she could still feel his trembling body.

"Feng Yang, you and Yun Che wait for me down here. I'll climb up and take a look."

Su Fengyang objected immediately upon hearing this:

"Feng Hua, that's not fair of you. How can you go into danger while we sit here and enjoy the fruits of your labor? As friends, we should work together."

Yun Che agreed, saying:

“Yes, Fenghua. We don’t know what it’s like up there yet. If we go up together, we can look out for each other.”

Ye Huasheng always subconsciously wanted to protect the people she cherished. She didn't know that in other people's eyes, she was also a treasure.

"Okay, let's go together." Three small figures walked through the swirling snow.

Su Fengyang led the way, climbing the steps leading to the top of the snow mountain. Sure enough, without flying through the air, one could not be rejected by being on solid ground. Su Fengyang took the lead, climbing the steps with his shoulders straight, shielding Ye Huasheng and Yun Che behind him from most of the wind and snow. They didn't know how high the mountain was or how many steps there were. The three of them only knew that with each step forward, they were one step closer to the destination.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ye Huasheng noticed that Su Fengyang was covered in snow from head to toe, looking like a snowman. Although he was still walking upwards with perseverance, his speed had slowed down considerably.

"Feng Yang, it's time to switch. Go to the back and conserve your energy."

Ye Huasheng gently pulled Su Fengyang behind her. Only then did Yun Che see that Su Fengyang's face was covered in snow, which was being melted by his body heat, so his hair and eyelashes were frozen. Yun Che had one hand held by Ye Huasheng, and with the other hand he hurriedly helped Su Fengyang brush the snow off his body. Su Fengyang also tightly gripped Yun Che's clothes, and the three of them became one.

Knowing that he was not strong enough and his body was not in good condition, Yun Che stopped trying to clear the way ahead. Of the three, only his clothes were much drier.

And so, Ye Huasheng and Su Fengyang went back and forth several more times, finally getting close to the snow-capped mountain above the clouds. The steps became even more slippery, so the three of them had to be even more careful.

Suddenly, Su Fengyang, who had moved to the front, shouted:

"A tornado! Get down!" A small tornado, accompanied by wind and snow, rushed towards the three of them. Yun Che, with strength he didn't know he had, stretched out his right hand and pressed Ye Huasheng down to a half-squat on the steps, while lowering his center of gravity to block Ye Huasheng.

Despite Yun Che supporting Su Fengyang from behind, Su Fengyang still slipped when hit by the wind. The tornado didn't stop, grabbing Su Fengyang's body and trying to drag him down the steps. In the impact, Su Fengyang involuntarily used his hands to resist. By the time he reacted, most of his body was about to fall off the snow mountain. Yun Che didn't have time to think and suddenly lunged forward, barely grabbing one of Su Fengyang's hands. Ye Huasheng, who was at the back, also grabbed Yun Che's leg with quick reflexes. In this way, the three of them formed a line.

Ye Huasheng braced himself on the steps with one hand to maintain his balance, and with the other hand, he used the momentum to leap up and flip back onto the steps just as Su Fengyang's hand was pulled close enough to reach the steps.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, the three of them pressed on with unwavering determination, charging towards the clouds above the snow-capped mountain.

Finally, breaking through the damp clouds, the three of them climbed to the top of the snow mountain. Above and below the clouds seemed like two extreme worlds. Above the clouds, there was no wind or snow, only an ice house built of ice. The ice crystals were transparent and dazzling under the refraction of sunlight. Moreover, they could clearly see a black box on the ice table inside the ice house and a spirit stone on the table that was still shining brightly without any concealment. However, there was only one such stone.

However, Ye Huasheng was optimistic. One is better than going through all that trouble only to find there was nothing.

To be honest, this place is fraught with danger and somewhat strange. Ye Huasheng and Su Fengyang exchanged glances, both meaning the same thing:

Let Yun Che, who is weaker, take the spirit stones first so he can pass the test.

But how can I ask him to take it without hurting his pride?

A moment of silence fell over the air, and the first to speak was Yun Che, who was always quiet.

"Feng Hua, Feng Yang, stop exchanging glances. My body really can't withstand the cold here. Let me take this spirit stone. Once I'm out, you two won't have any worries. You must go on a rampage!"

The three of them couldn't help but laugh. As friends, they were quite in sync.

Yun Che entered the ice house, picked up the spirit stone, and handed the two of them a black box containing several healing pills.

Then he held the spirit stone in his hand, activated the spiritual power within his body, and with a thought, Yun Che's name was instantly engraved on the spirit stone. Then, as if summoned, the spirit stone automatically returned to the jade pendant issued on the day of enrollment.

Now this jade pendant truly has a name!

As the two completely merged into one, a flash of light appeared, and Yun Che disappeared from the spot. It seems he was automatically teleported away after passing the test.

Yun Che felt his body lighten, and then he found himself standing in a wide square.

Above were three clearly visible spirit mirrors. Yun Che spotted Ye Huasheng's figure in them with just one glance and stared at them intently.
