Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

Chapter 5: Departure into the Mysterious Forest

However, Ye Huasheng didn't have time to think about that now. The original owner had been staying in Baicheng and only knew some basic information. She didn't know anything about other things in the east. Now, she needed to find a place to train and improve her strength, but she didn't know where to go.

Just when she was at her wit's end, Jiuling suddenly appeared in the pet space. Because of the soul contract, it and Heiyan could come and go freely.

At this moment, Jiuling transformed into a beast, becoming an adorable little cat, but its tail was longer than that of an ordinary cat.

"Master, don't move." Ye Huasheng stood still upon hearing this.

The light on Jiuling's body flowed and gradually gathered on its tail. Then, at the height of its brilliance, the light instantly transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into Ye Huasheng's brow.

When the light completely entered Ye Huasheng's brow, she suddenly felt enlightened. It was as if a map of this continent appeared in her mind. She knew where each path would lead, and she also knew where spiritual herbs grew and what their effects were.

This is simply incredible! Being able to sense these things saved her from many detours and allowed her to easily find training grounds suitable for her strength. Jiu Ling really gave her a huge surprise.

The two were of one mind, and Jiu Ling could clearly feel Ye Huasheng's joy.

“Master, this is my inherited memory talent. Now I only have one tail, and one tail connects to heaven and earth. I can communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and turn it into my own memories, and then share it with you. Unfortunately, I am too weak now. I can only roughly sense the spiritual energy in various places, but I cannot see into it. I was able to sense the traces of the marked medicinal herbs, but I do not know if they have been picked.” Jiu Ling said somewhat dejectedly.

It's true that their race is favored by heaven and earth, but their bloodline is dwindling. They were born in such a spiritually barren place. They thought they could learn all the talents, but they were still willing but unable to do so.

Ye Huasheng picked up the tiny bundle of Jiuling and placed it in front of her.

“Jiuling, you’ve already done a great job. Besides, you’re still young. You’ve only been born and you already have such abilities. If you keep blaming yourself, it will make me, your master, feel ashamed. Being weak isn’t scary, because one day we will definitely become strong.”

"Master~" Jiu Ling rubbed her head against Ye Huasheng's face affectionately.

"By the way, you just said you only gave birth to one tail. Isn't this your final form?"

"The strongest member of the Nine Spirits Clan has nine tails. Each tail that grows unlocks a talent, and talents are only passed down when a tail appears."

It's a nine-tailed fox!

Ye Huasheng was shocked. If a single tail was already so extraordinary, how earth-shattering must a nine-tailed one be! On second thought, such an extraordinary bloodline would surely be regarded as an anomaly, and the major powers would probably try to eliminate it as soon as possible. However, since she had already become the master of the Nine Spirits, she would not allow anyone to harm her even if she were to be shattered to pieces.

The most urgent task right now is to cultivate! To increase our strength!

She only had to think for a moment before the map reappeared.

It's decided! This is my first stop after leaving Baicheng!

The Forest of Confusion.

The Forest of Confusion, shrouded in mist year-round, is rich in rare and precious materials, attracting a large number of cultivators, mercenary groups, and outlaws.

There are many monsters in the area, including some intelligent spirit beasts. It is even rumored that a sacred beast appears at the end of the misty forest. However, important figures do not come to this small place, and most of those who come to train are not strong enough, so the sacred beast has not been found for a long time.

Ye Huasheng traveled for three whole days before finally arriving at the Forest of Confusion. He had expected it to be desolate, but to his surprise, the outer perimeter of the Forest of Confusion was much more lively than that of White City.

Mercenary groups come to do missions, training teams come to train, and some merchant guilds even set up stalls here to do business, so that people who find treasures can trade in real time.

Her arrival attracted the attention of most people. She was young and had no elders with her, but she looked like a young nobleman.

That's right, in order to make things easier and to prevent Ye Jingshen's men from finding her, she disguised herself as a man.

At this moment, a long-faced, pointed-mouthed man said sarcastically:

"Oh, where did this young master come from? Did you run away from home? Look at you, you're still all grown up. You'd better get out of the way. This Forest of Confusion is not a place for someone like you. You should go home and find your mother."

Ye Huasheng glanced at him and thought to himself, "Is this guy crazy?"

Clearly, he caught that glance again.

"You brat, what's wrong with your eyes? Get lost, don't block my way!" It turned out he was annoyed that she was blocking his way.

However, Ye Huasheng was not someone to be trifled with!

"There's no fixed road, everyone goes their own way, and I was here first, uncle, are you blind? Blind eyesight is a problem, you need to get it treated." Ye Huasheng continued, his words sharp and unforgiving.

"However, it seems there are always annoying people wherever I go. Is it because I'm too charming? But I don't just talk to any Tom, Dick, or Harry." Everyone around heard this and couldn't help but burst into laughter. This young man, who looked like a refined gentleman, actually had a sharp tongue.

However, Ye Huasheng was able to be so confident because she could easily tell that the person was a Saint-level cultivator just now when he leaked spiritual power. Normally, one can only tell someone's cultivation level at a glance if there is a big difference in level or when the other party uses spiritual power. However, she seems to be particularly sensitive to spiritual energy after her rebirth, and she can tell even if he leaks a little bit.

"You brat, you're asking for death!" Enraged, the man roared and threw a punch infused with spiritual power, aiming directly at Ye Huasheng's face.

Those around him looked on with pity, but no one stopped him. They seemed to have already anticipated that this handsome young boy would be beaten in the face, or even killed. However, what happened next made them widen their eyes in astonishment.

They weren't the only ones surprised; the person who intervened was also taken aback.

Ye Huasheng stretched out her slender, fair hand, seemingly effortlessly, while the man opposite her had a flushed face and beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. He seemed to be exerting tremendous strength, his arms, tanned dark from years of sun exposure, were bulging with muscles, but he remained motionless. Not that he was immobile, but that even with all his strength, he could no longer move forward.

At this moment, Ye Huasheng circulated his spiritual energy.

With a loud "bang," the man fell flat on his face.

While Ye Huasheng was using his spiritual power, he also revealed his true strength.

Those who were watching the spectacle became even more excited.

"I'm not seeing things, am I? A second-level Holy Spirit? How old is he? How come I've never heard of such a genius on the continent?"

"Perhaps it was secretly cultivated by some organization and hasn't entered the world yet!"

"This Chen Yi, he's always been arrogant because he's the guide of the Chaotic Forest. Looks like he's met his match today! But I have to say, this young man did a great job!" This was the men's commentary.

The woman then made a gesture of clutching her heart.

"So handsome! So cool!"

"This young man truly deserves the title of genius. His future is undoubtedly limitless. I must make good friends with him."

As for Ye Huasheng, she was unaware of the commotion she had caused. Since she had already revealed her strength, she immediately channeled her spiritual power and entered the mist at an extremely fast speed.

Only Chen Yi remained lying on the ground.

"You brat, I, Chen Yi, swear I won't rest until I avenge this! You'd better get lost and die inside, so I won't have to do it again!"

After Chen Yi said this, everyone realized that the young man had actually entered the forest on his own without a guide. Even guides had to be careful when entering the misty forest, and these guides were the paths that generations of people had found at the cost of their lives. Therefore, bringing a guide along on a training trip could reduce the danger.

Everyone was in silence, hoping that such a talented young man would not die inside.

However, what they didn't know was that even if Ye Huasheng knew about the guide, she wouldn't need someone to lead the way, because only danger and real combat could make people go further; the strong must tread on blood to rise to the top.
