Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 144: Confirming the Main Husband (Extra - for Monthly Votes)

Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Confirming the Main Husband (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)

Li completely ignored the group of people teaming up to mock him.

His crimson eyes sparkled with disdain as he sneered and spoke: "As the main husband, having a broad vision is undoubtedly one of my best qualities."

After saying this, he coldly swept his gaze toward Shi Xie: "So what if you met her seven years ago? When I was leading her, an eight-year-old girl, to hunt mutant beasts, you were probably bubbling away in some random puddle."

Shi Xie’s smirk froze for a moment.

"So, he’s your main husband, huh? Li is?" Caicai curiously asked Xiao Jinsheng.

Sipping her soup and watching the drama unfold, Xiao Jinsheng’s expression stiffened instantly.

As she lifted her gaze, the seven beast husbands were all staring at her intently.

"Caicai!" Xiao Jinsheng gritted her teeth in secret.

At this moment, she wanted nothing more than to give Caicai, who set the fire on her, a good beating!

This Divine Gold System—still as unreliable as ever!

"Of course, the main husband is me." Li shot a helpless glance at Caicai, then turned to look at Xiao Jinsheng with a pitiful expression: "The main husband is me; you promised me."

"You... promised him?" Que Zelian set down his teacup, the base of the cup creating a crisp sound as it struck the table.

"So the main husband really is Li?" Shi Xie stared at Xiao Jinsheng with a wounded expression, tilting his head and sighing:

"Seven years ago, even though I knew you already had beast husbands, I thought you came from the future. The beast husbands you spoke of might very well be future versions of us. So, sixteen-year-old me always believed that if I just waited for the Ice Sea Flower to bloom, if I waited for us to reunite in the future, I could renew the contractual totem with you and become your beast husband, and also your main husband."

Xiao Jinsheng avoided the gazes of Que Zelian and Shi Xie, unable to utter a word at the moment.

Clearly, it was Caicai’s loose lips that caused the trouble, yet she was the one left to deal with the fallout.

The other men didn’t let her off, either.

Yu Yunxiao’s face was full of dissatisfaction: "Oh right, someone else is the main husband, huh? Anyway, in the scheduling, I’m always last—guess that means my status in your heart isn’t very high."

Xiao Jinsheng frantically shook her head at Yu Yunxiao, eager to explain. Nearby, Mo Jiao had already spoken: "Anyone who sleeps in the basement, how could they possibly be the main husband?"

Xiao Jinsheng turned to Mo Jiao in panic, only to find Su Ye chiming in: "Someone who’s been disliked since the very beginning, how could they possibly be the main husband?"

"Hey... you guys..." Xiao Jinsheng’s forehead was drenched in sweat.

"I think the position of main husband should go to someone mature," Huaiqing chuckled lightly. "Using age as a criterion wouldn’t be unreasonable."

Caicai was loving every moment of the chaos.

He immediately started shouting out ages: "Yu Yunxiao, 19 years old; Li, 22 years old; Su Ye, Shi Xie, 23 years old; Mo Jiao, 24 years old; Que Zelian, Chen Yunji, 25 years old; Huaiqing, 26 years old."

"Based on maturity by age, shouldn’t you be the main husband?" Caicai turned to Huaiqing with a gasp.

"Chen Yunji?" Su Ye frowned and looked at Caicai.

"Me?" Chen Yunji tilted his head in confusion.

He hadn’t anticipated that this dispute over Xiao Jinsheng’s household arrangement would also involve him, an outsider.

"Just slipped out!" Caicai grinned awkwardly: "Since everyone’s here, I just checked all of your ages together—but feel free to block out Chen Yunji’s information."

"We’re people, not a system," Yu Yunxiao said with exasperation. "Block out? Why not just say ’undo’?!"

"Dear sweet passerby, you little feline beast husband sure are temperamental today," Caicai drifted over to Xiao Jinsheng’s side and murmured softly.

Xiao Jinsheng immediately swept him away with her hand.

This blasted Divine Gold System still had the audacity to show its face!

Wasn’t it this motormouth system that dragged her into this mess?

"So, who’s actually the main husband here?" Li pressed on.

Xiao Jinsheng raised her hand to cover her face, her mind spinning frantically for a solution.

As the master of "balancing water" (keeping harmony), she could not allow herself to mess up in such fashion!

"You’re... all main husbands?" Xiao Jinsheng hesitated.

"Do you think that makes sense?" Mo Jiao sneered coldly.

"It makes sense! Of course, it makes perfect sense!" Xiao Jinsheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

In that instant, she regained her confidence.

She stood tall and declared with assurance: "You’re all main husbands."

"All main husbands? Then whose orders should we follow?" Caicai asked curiously.

"Shut up, foul seaweed!" Xiao Jinsheng snapped, annoyed.

Caicai curled up his seaweed body into a bundle: "So fierce... I’m just curious."

Caicai felt unjustly wronged.

At this moment, Xiao Jinsheng wanted nothing more than to chop Caicai into pieces and stew him with ribs.

She had almost managed to bluff her way through.

But because of Caicai’s interjection, the beast husbands immediately chimed in together: "Yeah, all main husbands—but whose orders should we follow?"

"All main husbands should listen to each other’s suggestions," Xiao Jinsheng strategized.

She lifted her hand and declared, "I’ll establish seven positions here."

Then, she cheerfully patted Li on the shoulder and said with a grin: "Li, you’ll be the main husband in charge of transportation and travel."

She circled the dining table, touching each of them in turn.

"Huaiqing, you’ll be the main husband in charge of daily life affairs."

"Su Ye, you’ll be the main husband in charge of weapons management."

"Yu Yunxiao, you’ll be the main husband in charge of health and healing."

"Que Zelian, you’ll be the main husband in charge of external negotiations."

"Shi Xie, you’ll be the main husband in charge of family finances."

"Mo Jiao, you’ll be the main husband in charge of battle environments."

"See? Everyone’s a main husband, each with their own responsibilities." Xiao Jinsheng smiled in satisfaction at her "balancing water" skills.

Caicai, listening on the side, was already dumbfounded.

The seven beast husbands fell silent.

They worked hard to process the information and keep up with Xiao Jinsheng’s convoluted logic.

Li frowned: "I’m good at combat too—why am I the one in charge of transportation?"

"Because you’re... fast," Xiao Jinsheng blurted out quicker than she could think.

Li’s face flushed, then he adjusted his expression: "Well... I suppose that’s not unreasonable."

"I meant your Space Element powers—when traveling, you can use spatial teleportation to take us directly to places," Xiao Jinsheng clarified.

Li chuckled and waved dismissively: "No need to explain—I get it."

Xiao Jinsheng: ...What on earth do you ’get,’ you teapot filled with bubbles?!

"I’m in charge of family finances?" Shi Xie asked curiously, smiling a little awkwardly: "Managing finances is the lifeblood of a household—our Female Master must truly trust me."

"Stay grounded!" Xiao Jinsheng quickly stomped on Shi Xie’s foot.

Thinking back, it had all started with Shi Xie provoking Li, opening one can of worms after another, which finally dragged her into the dilemma of naming a main husband.

Her household consisted of only eight people.

There wasn’t really that much money to manage anyway.

Assigning Shi Xie to oversee finances was because Xiao Jinsheng remembered that whenever Shi Xie cried, his tears turned into pearls.

With that ability... this household couldn’t possibly go broke.

"Since no one has any objections, everyone’s main husband from now on~" Xiao Jinsheng asked cheerfully.

More "balancing water."

But the beast husbands began thinking: in this arrangement, if none of them were the preferred one, keeping everyone equally favored wouldn’t sit right.

"I don’t have objections. Moving forward, in their assigned domains, we’ll consider each beast husband’s suggestions," Huaiqing said thoughtfully and meticulously.

"I’m fine with that, as long as certain people..." Mo Jiao shot daggers: "Just don’t go around bragging about being the main husband every day."

"Ha!" Li chuckled coldly.

"When it comes to healing, you all listen to me," Yu Yunxiao reminded.

Su Ye revealed his Enhanced Superpower, his brows lifting slightly: "Managing weapons? That works."

"Well, I guess I’ll handle finances then," Shi Xie smiled.

Despite his words, he was still puzzled.

The Mist Continent was an apocalyptic world.

Survival resources were valued far above money.

All seven beast husbands had black cards, so earning crystal cores didn’t seem significant.

Was he supposed to go earn Star Stones? Shi Xie pondered this deeply.

Que Zelian nodded but tilted his head toward Xiao Jinsheng: "Even if I’m managing diplomacy, you’re still the head of the family; you’ll need to accompany me for it to work."

"Sure thing~" Xiao Jinsheng replied enthusiastically.

This instantly brought on the sharp gazes of the other beast husbands, who chorused: "And what about with me?!"
