Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 152: Rain Tonight (Extra - for Monthly Pass)

Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Rain Tonight (Extra Chapter for Monthly Pass)

The ten-meter-long mutant giant snake sensed a living creature ahead. It opened its bloody maw and swallowed Bai Yan whole.

The Insect Brain watched this scene indifferently.

In the next moment, they were already back at Bai Yan’s home.

A beam of light landed on Bai Yan’s bed and transformed into her.

The icy poison that had tormented her all day dissipated completely.

"Xiao Yan, are you asleep? I came to check on you." Xue Ruiyang’s voice sounded accompanied by knocking on the door.

Bai Yan was jolted awake by the sound, staring blankly at the ceiling, still disoriented from finding herself in this familiar environment.

Outside the door, not receiving any response from her, Xue Ruiyang, filled with concern, pushed the door open and entered.

"Xue Ruiyang?" Bai Yan exclaimed in surprise.

Wasn’t she just in the wilderness? Why was she now in her room?

And on top of that, she ran into Xue Ruiyang coming to find her.

Thinking about the icy poison in her body and knowing that Xue Ruiyang’s superpower was the Snow Formation,

even though the Insect Brain helped her disguise herself, Bai Yan was still terrified of being discovered by Xue Ruiyang.

She was about to remind the Insect Brain to pay attention to maintaining her disguise when she realized something unusual about her body.

No pain. No chill.

Yet mysteriously, she had lost a life.

She had gone from four lives to three.

Bai Yan took a deep breath, suppressing her fury: [System! What the hell is going on?!]

"Xiao Yan, are you feeling better now?" Xue Ruiyang noticed Bai Yan’s pale complexion and asked with concern.

"I’m fine now." Bai Yan’s inner turmoil was entirely different from her outward demeanor.

She offered a warm smile, her voice soft: "I just rested for a while, and I’m already much better."

"Look at me now, just like I was never sick."

At this, Bai Yan felt so angry she could vomit blood.

Dying once to get this healthy body—of course, it would look fine.

"I’m just a bit tired and want to rest a little longer," Bai Yan said, visibly wearied.

Seeing this, Xue Ruiyang didn’t disturb her further.

He simply left the porridge he had prepared warm for her, telling her to call him whenever she wanted to eat before leaving the room at her urging.

Left alone in the room, Bai Yan finally had the chance to confront the Insect Brain.

She raged: [System, why did I lose one life? Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?!]

The Insect Brain responded defensively, almost apathetically: [Explain what? You tell me what I should explain?]

Insect Brain: [You suddenly passed out in the wilderness and, unlucky you, ran into a mutant beast.]

Insect Brain: [It swallowed you in one bite. What could I do about it?! You tell me, what should I have done?!]

Bai Yan was livid: [You’re the system—I’m the host. Since I was weak and in danger, isn’t it your responsibility to protect me?!]

The Insect Brain reminded her: [Did you forget? Because of time reversal, my energy was running low.]

Insect Brain: [Back when you were hiding in Yu Yunxiao’s room, and then decided you wanted to go to the tree planting area, I confirmed with you whether it was necessary.]

Insect Brain: [You insisted on going.]

Insect Brain: [That was your own decision to deplete my energy.]

Insect Brain: [The fact that I rebuilt your body and brought you back after you died once, before you got killed again, should already be good enough.]

Insect Brain: [So is this really my fault?]

Bai Yan was literally fuming at this moment.

She inhaled deeply, her voice snapping: [I endured pain all day—suffering for nothing—and in the end, I still wasted a life!]

The Insect Brain’s mechanical tone replied: [Consider it pain training.]

On the Mist Continent, there were two systems.

The fake system, the Insect Brain, was arguing with the furious Bai Yan.

The real system, Caicai, was embroiled in a dispute with Lou Yan Zhi.

Lou Yan Zhi: Ten thousand points are missing—what’s going on?

Caicai: I used them. What’s the problem?

Lou Yan Zhi: ...Those were my points. Your share has already been allocated.

Caicai: Consider it borrowing from you. Alright?

Lou Yan Zhi: ...Do you remember you still owe me twenty thousand points?

Caicai: Ugh, it’s not like I won’t pay you back.

Caicai: I’ll assign you some extra missions. You complete them, and I’ll have points to repay you, won’t I?

Lou Yan Zhi: Is that really the plan?

Caicai: Eh? What did you say? The cosmic coordinates are too far away; the signal’s bad; your words are cracking up—I can’t read them.

Caicai: Let’s talk next time. Busy now.

"Lord Caicai."

A little demon with a smiling mask looked up at the Matchman lounging on the sofa.

The mask’s voice was fawning: "Would you tell me again about the impoverished Sword Cultivator who enters the interstellar world and makes a living by drawing those, uh, books?"

"Drawing books?" Hearing the commotion on Caicai’s side, Xiao Jinsheng walked over—only to be pulled by a hand extending from the wall.

Her figure spun and was pinned against the wall.

A familiar aura pressed close.

Li didn’t have his mask on as he rubbed his forehead against hers, his voice laden with grievance: "A whole horde of Beast Husbands—and you’ve neglected me for so long."

"Well... not that long, right?" Xiao Jinsheng hesitated.

"It was!" Li’s tone was filled with resentment: "So many people blocking me!"

"Especially that annoying fish." Mentioning Shi Xie, Li ground his teeth in frustration: "You spent two whole days with him!"

"So, what’s the plan for tonight?" After venting, Li’s irritability disappeared entirely, replaced by anticipation.

"Matching game?" Xiao Jinsheng hesitated.

"I’ll never draw it." Li shook his head in refusal, lifting one foot to press between her legs.

His knee rose, pressing upward.

Xiao Jinsheng looked down.

Her skirt was draped across his thigh.

"If it has to be drawing lots or a matching game." Li’s crimson eyes gleamed as he looked at her hopefully, his raised leg adding friction and force: "Couldn’t there be a little favoritism?"

"That... wouldn’t that be cheating?" Xiao Jinsheng’s voice trembled, her hands gripping his arm braced against the wall.

She lifted her gaze, her face flushed with annoyance: "This isn’t even a room—stop messing around."

"Am I?" Li raised his eyebrows in playful inquiry.

Xiao Jinsheng didn’t trust him.

Not only was his knee pressing against her this way.

But now his demon tail appeared, curling around her waist.

"If you don’t agree to favoritism, then so be it." Li sighed.

Xiao Jinsheng was surprised, eyeing him.

Just as she wondered why Li had suddenly become so accommodating,

his tail coiled around her waist, and in an instant, she was transported to that familiar room.

Jewelry and gemstone curtains adorned the bed.

Xiao Jinsheng was gently placed onto the soft mattress by his tail. Li leaned over her, pulling her hand to touch the exposed demon horns in his hair.

He grinned as he asked, "Remember what I am?"

"I’m a demon."

And being a demon meant breaking rules, disregarding contracts, and setting traps to ensnare prey.

No schedules. No lineup sacrifices. No matching games.

Li had waited long enough.

"Demons don’t play fair," he declared.

Li wrapped his arms around Xiao Jinsheng’s waist and flipped her over, making her sit atop him.

He grinned up at Xiao Jinsheng, his fingertips tracing the buttons of her collar: "Now that you’re here, why not stay for tonight?"

Xiao Jinsheng hesitated.

After all, she had to balance attention.

If she skipped the lineup today and chose to be with Li, she’d have to placate six other men later.

"You’re on top," Li said, drawing her focus.

Xiao Jinsheng blinked, intrigued: "That... could be worth a try?"

Yet being on top was something she hadn’t tried before.

"We can learn together," Li replied, his grin impossible to suppress.

His tail slipped beneath her skirt and began exploring.

His hands steadied her waist, lifting her to a certain height.

As she descended again, he took full satisfaction.

On the western side of the Mist Continent, storm clouds veiled the night sky’s stars.

Lightning flared against windows, followed by bursts of thunder, which were succeeded by a torrential downpour.

The rain drizzled onto the earth.

Soaking the castle, drenching the towering trees.

"Excuse me, have you seen Xiao Jinsheng?" Su Ye asked a masked little demon.

The little demon grinned slyly: "Saw her and our Lord just now—they’ve returned to the room."

"Dear guests, your rooms are this way. Let me lead you," the little demon said cordially.

Upon hearing that Xiao Jinsheng had already been whisked away by Li,

several Beast Husbands instantly understood that they wouldn’t be seeing Xiao Jinsheng tonight.

In that instant, they cursed Li countless times in their hearts.
