Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

This border town is called White City. Although it is called a town, it is more like a small town in its decline. There are very few spiritual cultivators in the town. The steward of the Ye family who was sent here abused his power and acted arrogantly.

Ye Huasheng was originally a direct descendant. Even if he was disfavored and exiled here, he should not be bullied by the collateral branches here. However, the emperor was far away and the higher-ups did not come down to deal with the situation. The younger generation was jealous of Ye Huasheng's direct descendant status, so they would verbally insult him or even physically assault him.

Meanwhile, in one of the better residences belonging to the Ye family steward in Baicheng, a group of teenagers were gathered. Steward Ye Jingshen stood before them.

“Ye Cheng, where have you bullied that little good-for-nothing? In the past, Father would turn a blind eye to your physical abuse, but I have said it many times: even if she was exiled here, she is still a direct descendant, and there will definitely be a trace of her soul in the family’s main city, so we absolutely cannot let her die.”

Ye Cheng looked arrogant and smug.

"Father, how would we know where that little good-for-nothing ran off to? With her looks, she calls herself a direct descendant, she's nothing but a useless piece of trash. We're not even sure if she's even a member of our Ye family. She's just occupying a status. We're being kind by letting her have a bite to eat."

"Second Uncle, Cheng-ge is right. That good-for-nothing is not worth your time. She keeps running away. Who knows, she might just run to the back mountain and fall into the dead pond and drown."

"You two should really tone it down a bit," Ye Jingshen said indulgently.

Ye Cheng was his only son, which is why he had always tolerated them bullying Ye Huasheng at will.

"Father, that good-for-nothing's monthly allowance has finally come down. I've been stuck at the third level of spiritual cultivation for a long time. The merchant who sells spirit stones will be coming to our White City soon. If I buy more low-level spirit stones this time, I'm sure I'll be able to break through."

Spirit stones, as the name suggests, are stones formed by the gathering of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Cultivators can directly absorb the power within them. With the assistance of spirit stones, the cultivation speed will be greatly increased. However, there are many low-grade spirit stones, and it is likely that only the disciples of these border towns would regard them as treasures.

"What's the rush? When the time comes, I will give it to you. You must strive to improve yourself, cultivate diligently, and try to be noticed by the people of the main city one day so you can return." Ye Cheng was Ye Jingshen's only hope. He was exiled here because his strength could no longer improve due to his injury. However, having enjoyed the prosperity and resources of the main city, how could he be willing to stay in this dilapidated and declining small town?

"Ah!!!" "Ouch!!" "Help!!" Just as Ye Jingshen was earnestly trying to persuade his son, shouts suddenly rang out one after another, and then a servant came limping in to report the news:

"There are people in charge, and some people are causing trouble."

Ye Jingshen was furious:

"Who dares to be so bold as to run wild on my territory? They really don't know who's in charge in White City. Let's go, let me go and teach them a lesson they'll never forget." Ye Jingshen was a Level 5 Spirit Warrior, the highest-ranking cultivator in White City, which is why he was so fearless.

"Dad, I'm going too!" Ye Cheng joined in the fun, bringing along his cronies.

Ye Jingshen's voice arrived before he did:

"Ignorant brat, don't you dare to be so insolent in the Ye family!"

But before he could finish speaking, an even more arrogant voice rang out:

"When did a collateral branch with impure bloodline dare to represent the Ye family?! It's truly laughable!"

To Ye Jingshen's surprise, the voice was actually a woman's.

Upon seeing the woman's face clearly, his eyes lit up. When did their Baicheng have such a beautiful woman? Ye Huasheng's Moon Clan bloodline had been awakened, and she possessed an ethereal aura. Suddenly, Ye Jingshen's eyes narrowed.

Why does this woman look so familiar? Not only him, but Ye Cheng and his group who followed from behind also had the same reaction. Although Ye Cheng was not a lecher, a hint of desire appeared in his eyes after seeing her.

How could his gaze escape Ye Huasheng's eyes?

"Ye Cheng, I think you don't want your eyes anymore!" Ye Cheng had bullied Ye Huasheng for years, and now he finally recognized her voice.

"You're that little piece of trash!" Upon hearing this, not only was he stunned, but Ye Jingshen was also stunned. They all knew who Ye Huasheng was: ugly and useless. The person standing in front of them now had an exceptionally handsome face and spiritual energy flowing around him. How could he be like this!

"Ye Cheng, since you don't want your eyes and mouth anymore, I'll take them back for you today." As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Huasheng unleashed her spiritual power, instantly revealing her second-level Saint Spirit cultivation to everyone. Ye Jingshen saw that she was about to make a move and hurriedly tried to stop her, but how could he, a fifth-level Spirit Warrior, keep up with the speed of a Saint Spirit?

"Ah!!!!" A scream rang out, then stopped abruptly. Ye Cheng's eyes were destroyed, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he made muffled sounds, but could no longer utter a single word.

In an instant, Ye Huasheng took out his eyes and cut off his tongue, but Ye Huasheng's hands were covered with spiritual energy, so not a single drop of blood was on them.

"My son!! Cheng'er!!" When Ye Jingshen arrived, he only managed to catch Ye Cheng's swaying body, while Ye Huasheng had already retreated to a safe position.

"Ye Cheng, didn't you always like calling others trash? From now on, I'll give you that title. Sixteen years of humiliation, today I'm sparing your life because we're from the same clan. You should know that even if some people are in dire straits, you can't bully them!"

"Ye Shenjing, hurry and find a doctor! If it's in time, maybe his eyes and tongue can be saved! Hahahaha! We'll never meet again!"

After Ye Huasheng finished speaking, she raised her hand and released a burst of spiritual energy, which directly caused Ye Jingshen's blood and qi to surge, and then she—

She ran away! That's right, she ran away. Ye Jingshen had been running rampant in Baicheng for years. Even if she wasn't strong enough, she must have treasures and magical artifacts to protect her. Now that she had vented her anger and punished Ye Cheng, that was enough. Her most important thing now was to improve her strength. With strength, she wouldn't need to be so hesitant anymore.

After she left, the Ye family in Baicheng was in an uproar.

Panic was evident in the eyes of Ye Cheng's friends.

"How did Ye Huasheng suddenly become able to cultivate, and at such a high level? What should we do! Will she come back and kill me? I spat in her food back then." Someone was filled with regret.

“I even splashed water on her. I’m so young, I don’t want to die!” someone wailed.

"Second Uncle, Second Uncle, you'll protect us, right? No, even Brother Cheng is like this, and Second Uncle got hurt too!" This person really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics!

You can only be respected if you respect others. Now they are surrounded by fear every day, and they are reaping what they sowed.

Ye Jingshen was both anxious and angry. Ye Huasheng had acted too quickly, striking first and taking advantage of his grief and distraction to launch an attack. He had been in Baicheng for many years, so how could he not have a weapon to protect himself? But Ye Huasheng was truly cunning and did not deliver a fatal blow, which meant that his weapon did not automatically defend itself.

At that moment, his blood was churning and his whole body ached. After he had a moment to catch his breath, he was about to get up when he heard these words. Immediately, he spat out a mouthful of blood. He glanced at his beloved son and saw that he had already fainted from the pain.

The servants were terrified and dared not utter a single word. That was a living Holy Spirit who could take their lives with a mere wave of his hand. However, there were still some quick-witted ones who were grateful to have escaped with their lives, but they also knew who their master was.

"Manager, the most urgent task right now is to treat the young master's injuries, and then send a message back to the master family about what happened today. Ye Huasheng disregarded blood ties and harmed her compatriots; she is an unforgivable scoundrel. The master family will definitely send someone down to punish her when they hear about it."

Ye Jingshen's eyes narrowed. Yes, he had just been so angry that he almost sent people to hunt down Ye Huasheng. But now that he thought about it, Ye Huasheng's cultivation was now so high that none of his men could match him. Sending people out would probably be a one-way trip.

We should quickly send a message to the family, saying that Ye Huasheng practiced evil arts and, after being discovered, ruthlessly killed his own clansmen.

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, but he quickly reverted to his proud, steward persona.

"You all witnessed Ye Huasheng practicing evil arts and harming his own clan. When the main family sends someone down to question you, you can answer truthfully. As the steward of the Ye family in Baicheng, I would also like to remind you that if you dare to utter even the slightest falsehood, not only will your own lives be in danger, but your families will also be implicated."

Yes, this is a threat!

A naked threat!

However, they dared not disobey; they had no choice but to obey. Otherwise, even if they didn't die at Ye Huasheng's hands, they would have been dealt with by Ye Jingshen beforehand.

"Manager, we understand. The master will definitely seek justice for Young Master Cheng."

"Ye Wen, settle the young master in, then take some people to find medicinal herbs for him. And you, what's your name?" Ye Jingshen looked at the servant who had just given him advice.

"This servant is Zhu San." He turned out to be someone from another family.

"From today onwards, your name is Ye San, and you will work for me."

"Thank you for your great kindness, Steward." Ye Jingshen took Ye San to send a message to the Ye family in the main city. Ye Huasheng had no idea that a nobody named Ye San had really caused her a lot of trouble.
