Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

At first, the road was clearly visible, but gradually, Ye Huasheng noticed that fog was rising and the visibility was extremely low. She couldn't help but mobilize all her spiritual power and listen carefully to the sounds around her.

In her intense concentration, she could detect even the slightest sound: the mist falling on the leaves turning into water droplets, the rustling of the leaves in the wind.

No! How could such a light breeze make such a loud noise as the leaves?

With a whoosh, it was the sound of wings slicing through the leaves.

Ye Huasheng reacted quickly and stepped back, at the same time producing a long knife in her hand, which was the gift her father and mother had prepared for her from the Xi Yue Bracelet.

With a flash of light, the blade slashed directly at the top of the mist, and a sharp-headed bird was cleaved in two before it could even let out a scream. Because it was an ordinary demon beast, it didn't even have a beast core.

However, Ye Huasheng did not let his guard down, as pointed-headed birds prefer to live in groups.

As expected, more sounds of wings tearing through the leaves rang out, and hundreds of sharp-headed birds rushed out in an instant. They attacked Ye Huasheng with their sharp heads as if they didn't care about their lives. Although Ye Huasheng could now cultivate spiritual power, her spiritual power was obtained directly and had not been tested in actual combat. Her physical fitness was not very good. Therefore, when dealing with the sharp-headed birds, which were ordinary demonic beasts, she only used a trace of spiritual power to protect her vital parts and then attacked them with her bare body.

The pointed bird was fast, and Ye Huasheng's knife was also incredibly fast. At first, the pointed bird could leave wounds on Ye Huasheng, but gradually Ye Huasheng's condition improved, and before the pointed bird could even get close, it was already reduced to ashes.

With a swift stroke, the last sharp-headed bird, seemingly the leader and already upgraded to a level one spirit beast, was dealt with. Ye Huasheng dug out its beast core and placed it into the Moonlit Bracelet. Spirit beasts can absorb the power within their beast cores and use it for their own purposes, so many people buy them. Although her parents had prepared spirit jade for her within the Moonlit Bracelet, who would complain about having too much money?

Ye Huasheng's injuries were not serious. She only took the ordinary hemostatic medicine she had bought beforehand and continued on her way.

With her current strength, she will not be in any danger as long as she does not encounter a sacred beast. The cultivation of beasts is different from that of humans. Humans have guidance, noble beasts have bloodline inheritance, while ordinary beasts rely solely on their own efforts and comprehension. Therefore, the cultivation of beasts is extremely slow but particularly solid. In addition, beasts have strong bodies, and once they successfully advance, they are stronger than humans of the same level.

A level one spirit beast can defeat a level five spirit practitioner, a level three spirit cultivator, and a level five spirit warrior; a level one holy beast can defeat a level five holy spirit practitioner, a level three holy spirit cultivator, and a level five holy spirit practitioner.

A level one divine beast can defeat a Spirit Master.

A level 5 divine beast defeats the Spirit King;

The super divine beast, level one, defeats the Spirit Lord.

The more a beast levels up, the stronger it becomes.

The fog, its origin unknown, stretched endlessly, but the treasures here were indeed plentiful. Not far from where the sharp-headed bird had been killed, Ye Huasheng discovered a patch of Healing Blood Grass. Although it was a low-grade hemostatic herb, such a large quantity could fetch a good price. Most spiritual herbs do not wither immediately after being picked; they can be wrapped with one's own spiritual power and then placed in an ordinary storage artifact. Of course, the higher the spiritual power, the longer the storage time. If one's strength is weak, one should remember to replenish the herbs with spiritual energy in time. However, some precious spiritual herbs and fruits must be swallowed immediately after being picked or stored in a special box.

However, there is another method that is both simple and complex: possessing a divine artifact that can store living beings. Only divine artifacts can hold life, and they are extremely rare and can only be possessed by those at the top of the East.

Ye Huasheng used some Healing Blood Grass, and put the rest into the Moon-Breathing Bracelet.

Ye Huasheng chose to come to the Chaotic Forest for two main reasons. First, the strength of the spirit beasts there was suitable for her training. Second, deep within the forest grew a fruit called the Leaping Spirit Fruit, which, when consumed, could directly upgrade a Saintly Warrior from Level 5 to Spirit Grandmaster, bypassing the process of converting spiritual power into elemental power. Although she wasn't a Saintly Warrior yet, she would one day. This fruit would ripen in the next couple of days, with only one fruit forming at a time. If she missed it this year, she would have to wait until next year. She was determined to obtain the Leaping Spirit Fruit.

She needed to reach the depths as quickly as possible before the fruit ripened. Jiuling's talent only roughly marked a location and did not show the route, but this was enough for Ye Huasheng. Since there was no road, she would walk straight ahead and create the fastest path for herself.

With another slash, the level four spirit beast, the two-headed gorilla, was split in two. Ye Huasheng then skillfully pulled out the beast core. It was almost dark, and a day had passed. She had already encountered a level four spirit beast, so she should be able to reach the place where the Leap Spirit Fruit grew not far away. She wiped the sweat from her brow haphazardly, but her eyes became increasingly bright. Along the way, by killing spirit beasts, she felt that she was absorbing spiritual energy faster, and her cultivation at the level two of the Holy Spirit Realm was more solid. The spiritual energy in her spiritual eye was abundant, and she should be able to break through to the level three of the Holy Spirit Realm soon.

Just then, the voices of some young men and women reached her ears. Ye Huasheng didn't want to pay attention, but she didn't expect that they were discussing the Ye family. She hid in the mist and listened quietly.

“Sister Xilan, the fog here is getting thicker and thicker, and it’s even harder to see at night. We didn’t bring any of the elders from our family this time, so the competition for the Leap Spirit Fruit is bound to be fierce. Why don’t we hurry back to our family and come back next year when we’re better prepared?”

“What are you afraid of, you big man? We’ve come all this way, why are you going back? You know my elder brother Ye Luotian has been in seclusion for several months trying to break through to the Spirit Sect. Right now, what he needs most is this Spirit Leap Fruit. He missed the deadline for his seclusion, so I, his younger sister, will come and get it for him.”

"As the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, how could I not have a life-saving spiritual artifact? Besides, I also have a sacred beast. Don't worry, when the time comes, whoever gets the Leap Spirit Fruit first will be credited with a great achievement, and I will definitely speak well of them to my grandfather."

"Miss Xilan, really?"

"I keep my word, so show me what you've got."

"Miss Xilan, judging from the time, the Leap Spirit Fruit will be ripe soon. Let's hurry, lest someone else beat us to it."

"Then, let's go, let's go." The girl was surrounded by a group of people and left.

Ye Huasheng emerged from the mist, a cold smile playing on his lips:

Without a shred of caution, yet still deluding themselves into seizing the spiritual fruit, they've truly been sheltered in the greenhouse for too long. But, direct descendants? That means that old man Ye has other sons. You opposed my father's marriage, causing my parents to disappear without a trace, yet you dote on other sons' children so much. Ye family head, you really are something else!

It's a real pity that your grandson is about to break through to the Spirit Sect level. He can't break through now, and he'll probably have to wait another year.

"Nine Spirits".

Nine Spirits responded and emerged, transforming into a small, beast-like cat.

"Just release your aura slightly to scare away those ignorant spirit beasts. From here on out, we'll head straight for the Leap Spirit Fruit."

Because Ye Huasheng needed to undergo training, she told Jiuling to conceal her aura. The stronger the bloodline power of a beast, the more it suppresses ordinary spirit beasts. If Jiuling released her full aura, the ordinary spirit beasts along the way would probably have been scared away and disappeared without a trace.

Sure enough, the moment Jiu Ling released its aura, rustling sounds arose all around, and the spirit beasts scattered in a panic.

"let's go."

Meanwhile, this aura was also sensed in two other places, one of which was Ye Xilan's sacred beast.

"Master, there is the aura of a sacred beast here."

"A sacred beast! Could there be some unexpected gains on this trip? How strong is that sacred beast? Can you defeat it?"

"The aura is very weak, almost imperceptible; it may be a newly awakened sacred beast."

"Haha, that's great! We'll bring the Yue Ling Kingdom and the Sacred Beast back to the family together."

In another hidden cave.

"Huh? This beast's aura is a bit strange. What kind of beast was it again? Never mind, I can't remember. Could it be here to capture me? Hmph, if you want to capture me, you'll have to see if you have the ability."
