Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

Wuchen remained in his small wooden house as usual, all alone, his figure lonely. He seemed lost in thought, not even noticing Fenghua enter the house.

"Master, I've come to see you."

After listening, Wuchen turned around, a hint of warmth appearing in his cold eyes:

"Feng Hua, you've come. It's a pity I couldn't see you fight in person, but you were really amazing."

Feng Hua frowned slightly as she looked at him. Wu Chen's complexion was not good; his lips were not as rosy as before, and the aura he exuded was not as peaceful and natural as before.

Feng Hua stepped forward, firmly reached out and grabbed Wu Chen's wrist. Wu Chen was shocked by his sudden action and his eyes widened.

Feng Hua gently probed in with her spiritual energy, then her expression grew increasingly solemn, and her eyes filled with heartache.

"Master, how did you get so badly injured? You are the only one who can hurt you in this Haotian Continent!" Then Feng Hua suddenly remembered Ge Hong's words on the field.

"It's to retrieve the Dragon Thunder Crystal." Wu Chen is a Spirit Venerable. Feng Hua had previously thought he had only suffered minor injuries, but just now she discovered that his internal injuries were quite severe. His spiritual energy was surging wildly, attacking his body. It must have been extremely painful, but he still appeared calm and collected.

Wuchen withdrew his hand, a faint smile still playing on his lips:

"Sure enough, your senses have become much sharper after you reached the fifth level of Spirit King. I thought I had hidden it very well. But don't worry, it will get better naturally over time."

Seeing that Feng Hua's expression was still not very good, he continued:

"You child, I'm really afraid of you. You've improved so quickly. Let me tell you a secret about my body first. Do you know why I've always stayed in the strongest academy? It's because I can't leave. This is the punishment that Heaven has given to our clan. I've already calculated the location of that Dragon Thunder Crystal, but it's dangerous there. Only a Spirit Venerable can go and get it."

"So, I came up with a plan and forcibly went out for a while. As a result, the punishment from Heaven descended. However, as long as I continue to stay here obediently, my injuries will naturally heal." Wuchen said this, but he didn't tell the whole truth, because the price he paid for going out was half of his lifespan! Although Wuchen spoke very casually, Fenghua was still greatly surprised.

As the strongest person on the continent, being trapped in the same place is a devastating thing. For many years before, was he alone, guarding this place, watching the sun rise and set, and the world change?

Feng Hua's eyes were incredibly serious:

“Master, one day I will surely cleave this Heavenly Dao and give you your freedom.”

Wuchen's eyes were full of relief, and then he said:

"There's one more thing. From now on, don't call me Master. Call me by my name. I want to be your friend. After I'm reborn, it will be a new beginning. I want to be a free person and make many friends." Wuchen wasn't lying. This was what he had hoped for and looked forward to the most in his hundreds of years of life. He had made a decision in his heart, an unchangeable decision.

Looking at his yearning for freedom, Feng Hua said:

“Alright, I will be your friend. When that day comes, I will take you to see the most beautiful scenery on this continent. However, you will still be my most respected master, Wuchen.”

The two chatted and laughed, while Wuchen, who was seriously injured while retrieving the Dragon Thunder Crystal, did not anticipate the crisis that Fenghua was about to face, and the crisis was about to arrive.

Feng Hua was often away fighting, and this time she spent a year consolidating her cultivation. Upon returning to the academy, she felt she should enjoy academy life to some extent. After all, in cultivation, too much of anything is as bad as too little. If one is temporarily blocked, it is better to relax and let one's state of mind naturally improve.

So, like other students in the academy, she attended classes with her teachers in her spare time. On this particular day, she had just parted ways with Su Feng and Yang Yunche when she met someone at the door of her room.

Feng Hua looked at the man, and after confirming that she didn't recognize him, she intended to ignore him and go straight back to her room, but the man stopped her:

"Senior Feng Hua, I am from the Ye family. This is a letter that the young patriarch of the Ye family asked me to deliver to you. The letter has been delivered to you, and I will be leaving now."

The man placed the letter in Feng Hua's hand and left. Feng Hua was completely bewildered; what had gotten into Ye Luotian that he would write her a letter?

After opening it and glancing at it, Feng Hua's eyes instantly darkened. The words written on it were few, but they were impossible to ignore.

"Ye Huasheng, if you want to know about your father, come to the Ye family's main residence at midnight tonight. We will not wait for you if you are late!"

Feng Hua pondered for a moment and was able to accurately write the three characters "Ye Huasheng" on the paper. Ye Luotian must have known her identity. The only people who knew her true identity were those people in the border city. Those people were really capable, actually finding the Ye family in the main city. However, she had now entered the Spirit King realm and was no longer a useless piece of trash to be bullied. Whether her identity was exposed or not was no longer so important. The only thing that could attract her was news about her father.

Her father, who had been eagerly anticipating her birth but was forced to separate from her, originally planned to return to the Ye family openly and squarely after reaching the Spirit Venerable level. Now it seems he might have to meet with the Ye family ahead of schedule. With her fifth-level Spirit King power, plus Nine Spirits and Black Flame, even if she couldn't win, escaping wouldn't be a problem. Even if this was just a trap, she had to go in order to get news of her father!

Night fell, and all was quiet. The strongest academy actually had a curfew, but since entering the academy, the dean had granted Feng Hua the special right to freely enter and leave the academy at any time, so Feng Hua left just like that.

Within the main city, the four major families are located in four different directions. The Ye family, being the most powerful, is in the east. After flying for a while, Feng Hua easily saw the Ye family's gate plaque. The Ye family is a large clan, and one can tell from its gate plaque that it is magnificent and solemn. At this moment, the outer gate of the Ye family is wide open, and there are not a single guard outside. It seems that Ye Luotian has made quite a lot of preparations to welcome her arrival.

Feng Hua landed directly at the door and walked in resolutely. This was her first time visiting the main house as a member of the Ye family. Even though she did not acknowledge the Ye family, this was still the place where her father had lived before.

Ye Jingyu, a descendant of the Ye family, is exceptionally talented and a prodigy! The Ye family can raise a despicable and shameless villain like Ye Luotian, but it can also raise an upright and honorable Ye Jingyu. In other people's mouths, Ye Jingyu has never had a bad word to say!

The Ye family mansion was large, yet solemn inside. There were no flowers or plants along the way, only some strange peaks and rocks, which appeared even more solemn under the cover of night.

Feng Hua walked steadily, step by step, following the path her father had walked countless times.
