Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

Feng Hua quickly arrived at the gate of the Ye family's main residence. As expected of a family with a history of hundreds of years, the Ye family had a rich heritage. In just a few days, they rebuilt the Ye family's gate, which had been burned down by fire. After waiting for a while, Ye Ming'an finally caught up.

He said breathlessly, "Young Master, please come with me. The clan chief is waiting for you in the ancestral hall."

Ye Ming'an led her into the Ye family compound. At this moment, there were many guards in the Ye family compound, but none of them dared to stop her. They all lowered their heads and went about their business. However, after entering the main residence of the Ye family, countless questions popped into Feng Hua's mind.

When she last came, the entire Ye family estate was solemn and dignified, but now the Ye family estate was filled with fresh spiritual plants. When she passed through the corridor, she was even more puzzled. The black pillars had been dyed pink. What kind of strange taste did the Ye family patriarch have? After passing through the corridor, she came to the place where Ye Jingming had ambushed her last time. At this moment, the ground there was covered with soft green grass, and pink ribbons were tied to the small artificial stones around it.

"Ye Ming'an, your Ye family patriarch's taste is truly something else." Feng Hua's words were meant to be sarcastic, but unexpectedly, Ye Ming'an laughed heartily and said:

"The clan leader has excellent taste. He said that since you are a little girl, you must like pink. Look, some of these flowers and plants were bought by me! But it would be wonderful if you liked them, young master."

Feng Hua: ? ? ? Which eye of yours saw that I liked you? No, why did Ye Jifeng make his house like this? She's not a member of the Ye family, and she doesn't live here.

Ye Ming'an led her through a series of turns, finally stopping next to what appeared to be the most normal-looking building, with the two simple characters "Ancestral Hall" written in black on the plaque above it.

"Young Master, please go in. The clan leader is waiting for you inside." Ye Ming'an finished speaking and stood with his back to the ancestral hall. Feng Hua pushed open the door and entered. After entering, the door closed automatically. Fires burned throughout the ancestral hall. A man stood with his hands behind his back. Hearing the sound, he turned around and said:

"Child, you are here."

Feng Hua ignored what he said and said directly:

"What about my father?"

Ye Jifeng took a few steps to the side, revealing the items enshrined in the ancestral hall.

There were brown wooden plaques floating on top of it. In the center was Ye Jifeng's name, flanked by Ye Jingming's and her father Ye Jingyu's names. And then there was her name on it.

Then Ye Jifeng began to explain:

"The direct descendants of the four great families have their purest blood taken at birth and placed into the Divine Wood to form a life tablet. Our Ye family is the same. If the life tablet is still there, we are alive; if the life tablet is broken, we are dead."

Rumors are circulating that your father has disappeared or even died, but his life tablet remains intact. He must still be alive, somewhere unknown. The life tablet also has another function: it allows one to see the last thing a person sees before death. As a child, you couldn't cultivate, and staying in the Ye family in the main city was too dangerous, so I sent you to the border town. You were provided with the same necessities as a direct descendant, but I underestimated human greed, allowing them to treat you this way. Because your life tablet was intact, I always thought you were doing well. Hua Sheng, Grandpa was wrong, but if I could do it all over again, I would still do the same. Living in the main city like that, I couldn't protect you.”

The old man readily admitted his mistake. Feng Hua thought about it after hearing what he said. The main city was full of hidden talents, not to mention Ye Jingming's deep and cunning. If the old Ye Huasheng were here, he would probably have died much earlier. Thinking of this, her tone was no longer so cold and hard.

"Clan leader, have you gone to look for my father all these years?"

"Over the years, I have sent people to search this continent thoroughly, and I have also gone out to look for him myself, but I have never been able to find him. It is as if he has disappeared into thin air without any trace. Why do you think I have given Ye Jingming power all these years? I have never given up looking for Jing Yu. Now that he has the Ye family, he will not disturb my search for Jingming."

I know he has a bad temper and is not fit for a great responsibility, but the Ye family only has his lineage left. His son is good, but he has also corrupted him. If I perish a hundred years from now and still haven't found Jing Yu, the Ye family will have no choice but to be handed over to him.”

"And now? How come you've completely abandoned Ye Jingming? I think you should know that I have no interest in the Ye family."

Ye Jifeng sighed deeply, and then said:

“Since the day you were injured, I have truly understood that some people will never change. They will only become more and more wicked. Back then, he knew your identity but still wanted to kill you. So, when he grows up to the point where I can no longer control him, he will probably kill me directly. The Ye family’s century-old foundation and its reputation for generations must not be destroyed in his hands. If that happens, the Ye family might as well end in my hands.”

“Hua Sheng, your grandfather knows your personality from outsiders. You don’t care about this huge Ye family business, but you should enjoy all the rights of the young master. This family business was not only built by the Ye family ancestors, but also by your father, so it is what you deserve.”

"With your exceptional talent, you are destined to dominate the continent in the future. By then, your grandfather will probably be long gone, and you will have to find your father on your own."

Feng Hua's eyes were resolute:

"Since my father is not dead, I am sure I will be able to find him."

Just then, one of the wooden plaques floating above suddenly made a cracking sound. The plaque belonging to Ye Jingming suddenly split in the middle and fell to the ground. Ye Jifeng's expression changed drastically. He raised his hand and waved it, and an image floated out from the wooden plaque and appeared in mid-air.

The image was shrouded in black mist, revealing only a blurry figure. Then the image vanished, and an aura rapidly approached at that moment.

"Clan leader, something terrible has happened! Ye Jingming is dead, and Ye Luotian has disappeared without a trace!"

"Feng Hua, come with me to take a look."

Ye Jifeng flew ahead to lead the way for Feng Hua. The enemy was dead, but it wasn't Feng Hua who killed him. She wondered who had acted so quickly. Feng Hua hurriedly followed.

The Ye family's torture chamber has two floors: one for interrogation and one for imprisonment. The imprisonment area is underground, but at this moment, it is empty except for the person who made the report, who is following behind them.

Even Feng Hua, who was used to seeing bloodshed, couldn't help but frown. The scene in the prison cell could only be described as bloody.

Ye Jingming's face was contorted, his eyes wide open as if in extreme pain. A bloody hole had been torn open in his chest, revealing his internal organs, which were now empty. Blood flowed all over the ground and splattered all over the walls. Ye Jifeng was shocked when he saw this and subconsciously moved his body to block Feng Hua's view, as if he didn't want her to see such a horrific scene.

Feng Hua, however, didn't care. She poked her head out again, looked in the direction of the corpse, and said:

"It doesn't look like a weapon was used. The blood is spraying so high, it must have been a single, decisive blow."
