Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 231 - 36: Beauty Ranking Number Two, Qiu Zhihe

Chapter 231: Chapter 36: Beauty Ranking Number Two, Qiu Zhihe

Northern Wilderness.

Fallen Immortal Forest.

This is a boundless wilderness and jungle, and also the first barrier of the Northern Wilderness.

Among many treasure-seeking cultivators who frequently enter and exit the Northern Wilderness, the Fallen Immortal Forest is also known as the "Sieve Forest."

It filters out the trash unfit to enter the Northern Wilderness.

Miasma and fierce beasts, just these two alone are enough to stop more than seventy percent of loose cultivators at the edge of the Northern Wilderness, some even buried in the Fallen Immortal Forest.

The first trial upon entering the Fallen Immortal Forest is the miasma.

The forest is filled with dense black fog, and even late-period Qi Cultivation cultivators will become weak if they inhale too much.

At this time, fierce beasts smelling the delicious scent will appear.

The fierce beasts in the Northern Wilderness are different from the ordinary spirit beasts outside. Here, the fierce beasts are larger in size, have stronger attack power, and are extremely ferocious and cunning.

Some are even smarter than humans. Many inexperienced treasure hunting teams end up dead in the mouths of fierce beasts, even if they manage to withstand the miasma using pills.

Of course, there are also those who risk their lives to specifically come to the Fallen Immortal Forest to capture fierce beasts for sale.

Because if the Northern Wilderness fierce beasts are tamed by a Spirit Beast Master, their combat power far exceeds that of ordinary spirit beasts.

At this moment, in a dense forest, four cultivators are surrounding a Second Grade Ghost Wolf.

All four are Mid-period Qi Cultivation, two Second Grade Spirit Beast Masters, and two Array Masters.

With such a setup, if they were at Yunling Mountain, they could attempt to capture a Third Grade Spirit Beast.

But at this moment, facing this Second Grade Ghost Wolf, the four are being extremely cautious and are sweating profusely.

The two Array Masters have already deployed five or six imprisonment arrays, yet they still cannot completely trap the Ghost Wolf.

The Ghost Wolf, as large as a tiger, growled, baring its white teeth at the four.

"Hurry up, I can’t hold on any longer!"

One of the Array Masters, veins bulging on his forehead, had barely finished speaking when the Ghost Wolf broke free from the imprisonment array and bit through the Array Master’s neck!

Ah!

With a scream, the Ghost Wolf’s figure, moving like a ghost, got behind a Spirit Beast Master, who turned in horror, his palms glowing, still wanting to tame the fierce beast.

But he was sent flying by the wolf’s huge paw, and when he landed, his neck was twisted in a gruesome way, visibly beyond saving.

The remaining two, terrified, turned to flee, but the Ghost Wolf quickly caught up, and amid screams, an Array Master was knocked to the ground and had his throat bitten!

The last Spirit Beast Master dared not look back, running madly, but a sudden gust from behind indicated the terrifying fierce beast had already pounced on him from behind.

"Ah! Help me!!"

In desperation, the Spirit Beast Master recalled someone’s advice before they left:

"The strength of you four isn’t enough to make it through even a third of the Fallen Immortal Forest. Don’t think you can catch fierce beasts."

Back then, he didn’t believe it. Two Second Grade Spirit Beast Masters, two Second Grade Array Masters, surely they could catch a Second Grade fierce beast?

Who would have guessed, facing an ordinary Second Grade Ghost Wolf, they would end up in such a tragic situation!

"Ah!! Ah?"

The Spirit Beast Master screamed in agony, but moments later felt no pain. Looking back, he saw the Ghost Wolf that had pounced on him suddenly frozen in place, staring dumbly at a grove opposite.

The fierce eyes of the Ghost Wolf showed unexpected fear.

The Spirit Beast Master stood in shock, forgetting his situation, instinctively looking toward the grove opposite.

The next moment, his eyes widened, and the fear on his face turned to fascination.

A petite and exquisite silhouette emerged from the grove, wearing a black plum-patterned sheer robe, with a round face and two locks of silky hair tumbling over her elegant shoulders.

This woman’s features were impeccably beautiful, her waist slender, her figure both youthful and mature.

The Spirit Beast Master, though at death’s door, was captivated by this stunning woman, his eyes fixed unblinkingly.

Fortunately, the Ghost Wolf that had pounced on him seemed equally enthralled by this unparalleled beauty, its wolf eyes fixed on her.

As she approached, traces of fear appeared in the wolf’s eyes.

"Howl."

The Ghost Wolf made a low, threatening growl. With just two swift steps, the petite woman was before it.

The Ghost Wolf’s fur bristled as it turned to flee, but the woman raised a slender hand, sending forth an imprisonment array that tightly confined it.

The array seemed plain and ordinary, no different from those cast earlier by the Array Masters.

Yet the Ghost Wolf struggled and dashed about but couldn’t escape.

Then, a giant sword manifested from the array plunged down, severing the wolf’s head before it could howl. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The woman shook her head slightly at the twitching wolf corpse, seemingly dissatisfied.

"The grade’s too low, my husband doesn’t like wolf stew."

"My wife."

From the grove emerged several people, led by a man who spoke with a wry smile:

"You’ve misunderstood, I did enjoy the wolf stew last night, just wanted to save some for you."

The stunning woman turned to him, saying, "The Northern Wilderness is full of delicacies, my husband, you needn’t save any for me."

The man smiled, "Very well, my wife, what shall we have tonight?"

The woman glanced at the wolf’s corpse, pondering briefly, then said:

"Ahead lies a Black Bamboo Forest, tonight I’ll make some bamboo shoots stir-fried with wolf meat."

"Great, I love black bamboo shoots!"

Behind the man, a lively young girl poked her head out, drooling at the wolf’s corpse.

The stunning woman glanced at her, "Susu, you eat too much."

The girl huffed, "Miss, you’re too biased, the Black Wind Leopard the day before, and the Red Flame Tiger at noon, you only gave all to the sir, we could only nibble on mountain mushrooms!"

The man laughed, "Alright, Susu, tonight you’ll definitely have some meat!"

"Really? The sir is the best!"

"I’ll give you a piece."

"Darn!"

The three spoke as they dragged the wolf’s corpse into the forest. Passing by the Spirit Beast Master, the man advised:

"Fellow cultivator, there are more fierce beasts here at night, you should leave quickly."

The Spirit Beast Master responded absent-mindedly, lost in thoughts about the unparalleled beauty, and suddenly spoke:

"Grateful savior, I owe you my life, may I ask your name?"

The woman didn’t look at him, following the man away, but the young girl giggled back:

"My lady is already married, don’t bother dreaming!"

The three vanished into the forest swiftly, leaving the Spirit Beast Master entranced until the beautiful silhouette disappeared, still deeply mesmerized.

"Such a beauty...even the top three on the Beauty Ranking can’t compare, right?"

As if in response to his sigh, a giant scroll appeared above the Fallen Immortal Forest, its cover inscribed — Beauty Ranking.

The scroll not only appeared over the Fallen Immortal Forest but was visible throughout the Northern Wilderness, as well as in the Eastern Cultivator, South Demon, West Imperial...in every corner of the Four Domains of Hongzhou.

This is the Immortal Flying Pavilion’s Beauty Ranking, which does not usually appear unless there are changes to the list.

At this moment, the giant scroll unfurled, revealing startling updates in the top ranks:

First, Yun Wu.

Second, Qiu Zhihe.

Third, Ye Xiyue.

Fourth, Su Hongling.

...

On the Beauty Ranking, the original second-ranked Saintess of the Cyan Lotus Sect Xia Qinglian was replaced, and instead of the third-ranked Ye Xiyue moving up, an unfamiliar name in the cultivation realm took her place —

Qiu Zhihe.
