My Brilliant CEO Wife

"You little fool, why hold it in? Quickly, take care of it over there!"

Yun Hao pointed to the snow beside him and said to Zhao Ya.

"I'm afraid... it might smell!"

Hearing Yun Hao's words, Zhao Ya quietly responded, then quickly climbed out of Yun Hao's embrace, walked barefoot to the side, and squatted down under Yun Hao's gaze...

Swish, swish, swish...

In an instant, the sound of a stream flowing, pleasing to the ear, echoed within the barrier.

The series of barriers that Yun Hao had set up not only provided sound isolation and warmth but also ensured safety. As soon as any creature touched the barrier, Yun Hao could sense it immediately...

Watching the snow being carved out by the water stream, a happy smile played on Yun Hao's lips.

As for Zhao Ya, she was feeling shy, especially realizing that Yun Hao was watching her intently, which made her even more bashful, almost unable to lift her head.

Finally, the sound of water gradually subsided until it stopped altogether.

But just as Zhao Ya was about to stand up, Yun Hao directly lifted her up.

"Oh, hubby... this posture..."

"Hush, let hubby clean you up..."

After being tender with each other for a while, they dressed and, with Yun Hao removing the barrier, continued walking towards the mountaintop.

Along the way, Zhao Ya occasionally hit the branches with her small hands, watching the snowflakes fall, laughing around Yun Hao without stopping.

Just as they were about to reach the top, Yun Hao suddenly grabbed Zhao Ya by his side, stopped, and fixed his gaze on a huge snow-covered mound!

"Hubby, what's wrong?"

Zhao Ya asked curiously upon seeing Yun Hao stop.

Yun Hao gently shook his head and called out to the front, "Who is there? Show yourself!"

As Yun Hao's words fell, in their view, the snow mound began to stir, and soon a gigantic figure slowly stood up.

This enormous creature, standing up, was over three meters tall. Shaking the white snow off, its large eyes, like copper bells, stared fixedly at Yun Hao.

Damn it!

Yun Hao couldn't help but curse in his heart, this turned out to be a Black Bear Spirit that had successfully cultivated.

From Yun Hao's Divine Sense detection, this Black Bear Spirit was at least at the Peak of the Eighth Grade in cultivation.

If it were before he got injured, dealing with a Peak Eighth Grade Black Bear Spirit would have been a piece of cake for Yun Hao.

But now, it's different. His internal injuries haven't fully healed, and the Immortal Yuan he can command is roughly at the Peak Eighth Grade level. If he overexerted himself, he could defeat this Black Bear Spirit, but it would undoubtedly worsen his injuries.

"Wow, hubby, what a big bear!"

Zhao Ya, although aware of the Black Bear Spirit's strength, didn't feel so terrified standing next to Yun Hao. She couldn't help but excitedly point at the bear.

"I am the Bear King, of course I'm big. Who are you two to have detected my presence!"

The Black Bear Spirit, upon hearing Zhao Ya's words, replied in a deep, rumbling voice, glaring at Yun Hao once more.

Yun Hao could sense the opponent's level of cultivation. As the Bear King at Peak Eighth Grade, it too could sense Yun Hao's cultivation was comparable, hence the questioning.

If it were a lower-level cultivator, the Bear King would definitely swat them into a meat patty for dinner.

"You're the Bear King? Not even reaching Ninth Grade, it seems your Bear Race isn't that impressive after all!" Yun Hao said disdainfully, sizing up the so-called Bear King.

In the Nine Transition Divine Technique, it's recorded that in the world, not only humans can cultivate, but everything else can too, animals and plants alike.

However, whether animal or plant, to take human form requires cultivation to the Ninth Grade!

But reaching the Ninth Grade, how difficult it is?

Therefore, the number of spirits that can transform into human form is very few.

Yet, when encountering a spirit that can transform, it's a sign you've met a Ninth Grade Demon King!

"You dare say my cultivation is low? Ignorant human, I tell you, even though you're Peak Eighth Grade, I can still beat you!"

The Bear King replied with its deep voice, stomping forward with thick paws, causing the snow on surrounding trees to fall off.

Feeling the imposing aura from the Bear King, Yun Hao smirked disdainfully and said, "Who cares if you can beat me? It doesn't change the fact that your Bear Race is in decline. Besides, this is the first time I've heard of a king not reaching the Ninth Grade!"

"Hmph, it seems you hold quite a status among humans, knowing so much. What brings you here? Generally, humans and spirits don't interfere with each other. I just wish to borrow some spiritual qi from humans to advance my cultivation!"

The Bear King did not deny Yun Hao's words, looking down at the pair.

"We're here to have some fun, to see the Snow Sea and such. Didn't expect to encounter you!" Yun Hao waved to the Bear King as he spoke and held Zhao Ya's small hand to continue walking forward.

"Wait a moment, how about we make a trade?"

As Yun Hao and Zhao Ya were about to leave, the Bear King called Yun Hao back.

"A trade? What kind of trade?" Yun Hao was unafraid. He had confidence in killing the big black bear, but his injuries would undoubtedly worsen afterwards.

But this big black bear was full of treasures, especially since it had cultivated to the Peak Eighth Grade as a Bear King.

Yun Hao believed that if he killed it and consumed its bear gallbladder, his damaged meridians would definitely heal completely. At that time, he could run the Nine Transition Divine Technique and recover to his peak cultivation.

"This isn't the place to talk. Shall we discuss it at the summit?"

The Bear King glanced around and pointed its thick paw towards the summit.

"Alright, no problem!"

Yun Hao nodded, signaling for the Bear King to lead the way, while he and Zhao Ya followed behind.

Zhao Ya gently tugged Yun Hao's hand, her beautiful eyes showing a bit of concern.

Zhao Ya knew Yun Hao well, aware that Yun Hao's current cultivation couldn't be fully exerted due to severe injuries. She feared the big black bear might set an ambush.

Yun Hao gave a slight smile, indicating Zhao Ya shouldn't worry.

He didn't sense hostility from the Bear King.

Moreover, the Bear Race was known for its honesty, not usually a cunning species.

Besides, Yun Hao and the Bear King had no enmity, so there was no reason for it to set up a lethal trap for him.
