198: Chapter 198 If you're so ugly you're out of the game, my wife, you're out.

Yue Lan retorted angrily, but upon meeting Mo Yuan's provocative gaze, his anger vanished instantly.

Li Mingye watched their confrontational gazes and said, "As long as I can become stronger, I don't mind being a Vicious Beast."

"Are you sure?" Yue Lan's gaze toward Li Mingye suddenly turned disdainful. "Are you not going to be picky about your original form? Everyone here has a decent original form. If you choose an ugly one, aren't you afraid that Mistress won't favor you in the future?"

Mo Yuan coughed lightly. "Then let's go with a Black Tortoise."

He was afraid of being too ugly for his own liking.

Although his original form was terrifying, it could be considered good-looking compared to a Vicious Beast.

Li Mingye bowed respectfully to the two of them. "Then I will listen to you. I lack experience, and I only hope to be worthy of Mistress and grow stronger alongside her."

"You still need to learn to be selective. Don't just pick anything. It's fine if you're ugly to us, but if you're ugly to Mistress, you're out," Yue Lan reminded him, glancing at Mo Yuan. "Especially when it comes to his words, you still need to discern between them."

"Alright, stop arguing." As soon as Long Ze spoke, everyone settled down.

Feng Yange emerged from the space. Seeing their gazes fixed on her, she swept her eyes across them. "What's with this reaction?"

"Mistress, how did you feel after killing that Bull Beast at the Peak of Spirit Venerable Realm this time?"

Ling Feng changed the subject, and the others nodded in agreement. Seeing that they were acting normally, Feng Yange said, "It was slightly strenuous, but with the augmentation of the Lightning Domain, it was quite easy."

"It hasn't been long since Mistress had a Breakthrough to the Spirit Venerable Realm, yet this Domain power is truly overbearing." Jun Chen was secretly shocked; it seemed that Dual Cultivation with Mistress really could increase her Cultivation speed.

"Indeed, but I still need to ponder it further." Feng Yange looked at the sky. "Let's find a place to stay. The Bull Beast we hunted today will be perfect for making something delicious tonight for you all to have a taste."

The group found a spacious cave and divided the labor among themselves. Feng Yange also took out the portion for Sword Spirit Senior so they could have a meal.

After teaching them how to prepare the steak, Feng Yange sat there to perceive the changes in her Lightning Domain.

After today's battle, she discovered that the circulation of Spiritual Qi in her body was smoother than before, and she wouldn't have to terminate the Lightning Domain halfway due to Spiritual Qi consumption.

However, she could still refine and improve it further.

Feng Yange entered her Divine Sense, where the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers connected with the starry sky and the galaxy. In the center lay a huge, grey, hazy bead, within which mountains and rivers were vaguely visible.

"Mistress, the grilled meat is ready."

Feng Yange opened her eyes and saw Long Ze standing not far away, waving at her. Xuan Li and the others were happily grilling meat with Dengdeng, and Xuan Li was talking animatedly, teaching the others how to make soup.

Feng Yange smiled and walked toward them. The cave was filled with the aroma of the Spiritual Qi-rich Bull Beast meat; just smelling it made one feel Spiritual Qi drilling into their body.

"As expected, just smelling the meat of an Advanced Yao Beast allows one to absorb Spiritual Qi."

Feng Yange smiled as she reached them. Looking at the various dishes they had brought over, as well as the washed spirit fruits, her gaze fell upon a purple fruit.

"Mistress, this was picked outside. It tastes sweet and sour. Have a taste."

Cang Yan fed the fruit to Feng Yange's lips as if offering a treasure. After taking a bite, Feng Yange's eyes lit up. "This fruit is delicious. I feel like my Lightning Spirit Root really likes it and is absorbing its power."

"Then I'll pick more for you tomorrow. There are so many of these fruits here, and no one is picking them." As Cang Yan said this, he took out a bright red, dripping-fresh fruit and gave it to Feng Yange. "Blood Spirit Fruits are everywhere."

"Is there a possibility that this place is so dangerous that no one dares to come in?"

Yue Lan glanced at Cang Yan. "Do you think everyone is like you, afraid of nothing?"

Cang Yan didn't want to talk to Yue Lan; he was the only one allowed to offer treasures to Mistress.

"You two are really quite childish." Feng Yange took a fruit and stuffed it into their mouths. Cang Yan and Yue Lan's expressions both changed. "Mistress, this is a Blood Spirit Fruit..."

"Go to the space to Cultivate. I intend to find some Yao Beasts here to practice on, consolidate my strength, and farm some experience points."

Cang Yan lowered his eyes and glared fiercely at Yue Lan. "Mistress, then I'll finish eating before going in to Cultivate. I can endure this much fruit."

"This fruit has no effect on me, so I won't be accompanying you."

Yue Lan took the fruit and began gnawing on it, eating one after another. Cang Yan's expression was dark. What should he do? He really wanted to fight him. How could this person be so asking for a beating?

Feng Yange decided to let them solve it themselves and went to find them to feed her. It must be said, this Bull Beast meat was truly tender and juicy, full of Spiritual Qi; it was the kind that would burst with juice with every bite.

"Mistress, it turns out Bull Beast meat is actually so delicious. I always thought it was very tough before; I didn't expect it to be this tender." Xuan Li ate with a satisfied expression. Following Mistress was just too blissful.

Long Ze held a dagger to cut the meat, then served it to Feng Yange with gentle gestures.

Looking at the others, they didn't pay any attention to this at all, each eating happily.

"I plan to farm experience here for a while. The first Spirit Beast we encountered upon entering was at the Peak of Spirit Venerable Realm. It will likely be dangerous further in, so it's better to consolidate our strength."

"That's good. It will indeed be dangerous if you move forward with your current strength. It's better to stay here for a year or so, and once our strength improves, we can explore further." Mistress's strength had improved, but Li Mingye, Xuan Li, and the others were still lacking.

Yue Lan's words reminded Feng Yange. She hadn't paid much attention to their Cultivation levels during this period, but they really did need to undergo proper training.

"Mistress, starting tomorrow, we will also Cultivate with you."

Li Mingye spoke up. He had to accelerate his Cultivation speed; otherwise, he wouldn't be qualified to follow Mistress.

"A-Lan, then starting tomorrow, I'll have to trouble you."

With Yue Lan there, their safety would be guaranteed. Mo Yuan and Jun Chen exchanged a look. "We will be responsible for their training, and Yue Lan will protect Mistress."

Yue Lan agreed. "No problem."

Yue Lan's strength was the strongest among them. Cang Yan's original form had not yet recovered, so if they really fought, Yue Lan would still have the upper hand. However, it was a good chance to let Cang Yan undergo special training.

Every day that followed, Feng Yange looked for Yao Beasts to fight at locations chosen by Yue Lan, while Xuan Li and the others searched for opponents themselves, teaming up to deal with powerful ones.

Days passed one by one, and Feng Yange became more proficient in using the Lightning Domain. However, the others were not so lucky; they came back covered in injuries every day. In just one short month, Li Mingye had a Breakthrough to the middle stage of the Spirit Emperor Realm, Xuan Li to the high stage of the Spirit Emperor Realm, and Ling Feng to the Peak of the Spirit Emperor Realm.

"They are humans after all. Even if their Cultivation talent is good, it's still lacking a bit."

Mo Yuan watched Li Mingye's combat speed; he was still too far behind to keep up with Mistress's pace.

"For a human to reach this point, he is already a top-tier Genius. However, it is indeed still lacking something. Why don't we help him?" A cold glint suddenly appeared in Jun Chen's eyes.
