Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 153 Follow Me

In the early morning, Li rarely woke up early.

Sure enough, in the reception hall, he encountered the six other Beast Husbands of Xiao Jinsheng.

Each one of them looked sullen.

Noticing his arrival, the gazes cast his way were sharp as cold knives.

"Where is my Female Master?" Shi Xie dropped his pretense, his chilling gaze locking onto Li.

The lips beneath Li’s half-mask curled into an amused smile. "My Female Master? She’s still resting."

"Don’t you think you’re going too far?" Yu Yunxiao snapped angrily.

Last night, when he returned to this Demon Territory, Xiao Jinsheng disappeared the moment he turned around.

What drawing lots, what random selection, what individual visits?

He wasn’t even given a chance!

"What was too far?" Li said indifferently. "I was tired, so I went to bed early. What does that have to do with you?"

"Heh, you were tired? As if she wasn’t tired too?" Mo Jiao sneered coldly.

"This has nothing to do with her," Li said with a smug smile. "It was me who tied her up and took her away."

Su Ye’s golden eyes flashed with hostility, glaring at Li. "Everyone else respects the house rules. Why must you be the exception?"

"Shi Xie broke the rules for two days straight, and no one said anything. Yet, you’re coming after me for just one day?" Li sneered, voice dripping with sarcasm. "Get your priorities straight."

Shi Xie’s icy blue eyes burned with fury, while outside the castle, the waves below the cliff surged violently.

It was as if, in the next moment, they would rise up and flood the Demon Territory.

"No matter the queue or scheduling rules, we all agreed upon them at the start," Huaiqing said calmly. Behind his glasses, his gaze carried a hidden coldness as he glanced at Li. "Since you were the first to break the rules, don’t blame the rest of us."

"Are you provoking me?" Li’s expression twisted into a cold smile. "Sorry, but in my entire life, I’ve never learned to be afraid."

"Then your life won’t last very long," Yu Yunxiao said with biting sarcasm.

Seeing that Li and Yu Yunxiao were about to start another argument, Que Zelian spoke up, "When will Xiao Jin likely wake up? Skipping breakfast for too long isn’t good for her health."

While the Mist Continent did have Healing Element Superpowers capable of curing most injuries and illnesses as long as one’s Star Level was high enough, maintaining a good routine was still beneficial for mental well-being.

"It’s only eight o’clock," Li replied. "I’ll have her eat breakfast before nine."

As he spoke, Li shot a wary glance at Que Zelian.

Truth be told, among these men, Que Zelian and Huaiqing irritated him the most.

Huaiqing was still manageable—at least he didn’t compete.

But Que Zelian...

Li knew that Que Zelian not only competed but also held a distinct position in Xiao Jinsheng’s heart.

At least with the other Beast Husbands, including himself, Xiao Jinsheng would argue over many things they said.

Only Que Zelian—when he suggested she rest, she would rest.

When he told her to cut back on snacks, she’d instantly toss them aside, even wiping her hands clean.

Li originally thought that in today’s grilling session from the group, Que Zelian would no doubt join in.

Unexpectedly, Que Zelian said nothing—acting as though he was indifferent, only concerned about whether Xiao Jinsheng had eaten breakfast.

This calm demeanor only made Li more vigilant.

Fake lamb! Scheming Que! He hated him the most!

And that fish too!

"Old Butler," Li called out.

The Old Butler quickly materialized from the wall, grinning broadly as he asked, "Lord Li, what are your orders for today?"

"We’ll all eat lunch together today," Li instructed. "As for dishes, make some lamb, a few fish, roast some birds, and the rest, I’ll leave to your discretion."

"Understood, Lord Li," the Old Butler nodded. "Rest assured when I handle things, my lord."

Li nodded in satisfaction.

He trusted the Old Butler completely.

His own room was in the castle’s eastern wing, whereas the other men were assigned rooms in the western wing.

Want to see Xiao Jinsheng?

Go walk three kilometers first.

After all, not everyone had the ability to teleport through space like he did.

Xiao Jinsheng had just opened her sleepy eyes and immediately locked gazes with the man sitting at the bedside, chin propped in his hand, smiling down at her.

She reached out and touched the half-mask on Li’s face. "Why aren’t you wearing your Demon Mask today?"

"It’s not very convenient," Li replied.

"What do you mean? I think it’s fine. What’s inconvenient about it?" Xiao Jinsheng asked in curiosity.

Li leaned over, bracing a hand on her pillow. He pressed a kiss on her lips, his mouth curving into a grin. "Like this—it’s inconvenient."

"Should I get up now?" Li asked, twirling a strand of her hair around his finger.

"Yes." Xiao Jinsheng nodded, stretching out her arms to wrap them around his neck. "Getting out of bed is such a hassle—I don’t want to move."

"I’ll help you." With one arm, Li lifted her fully, letting her settle comfortably on his forearm as he carried her to the wardrobe to choose a dress.

"We’ll be fighting Fog Corpses during the day. No dresses," Xiao Jinsheng reminded him.

"Don’t worry. I’ve got outfits for every occasion—combat, leisure, even formal events," Li replied with a smile.

He dressed Xiao Jinsheng in an elegant, intricately patterned black combat suit.

In strategic parts of the clothing, it was adorned with Blood Demon Gemstones, which could resist poisonous fog.

Xiao Jinsheng, in good spirits, skipped the dining room and went straight to the reception hall for breakfast.

As soon as she stepped inside, she bumped into six other men.

Her right foot, which had already stepped into the room, quickly retracted.

Standing at the doorway, she gazed at the men inside, all of whom directed their eyes toward her, filled with guilt.

"Did you sleep well?" Su Ye asked with a smirk, raising an eyebrow.

"Uh... uh, good morning?" Xiao Jinsheng stammered awkwardly.

At this moment, she couldn’t have been more aware of her amorous escapades yesterday evening.

Last night, she had initially been firm in sticking to her principles.

But Li had kept coaxing her.

With just a few sweet words, he had completely melted her resolve.

He had her so dizzy and light-headed that she’d impulsively agreed to stay.

"Don’t trouble her," Li said, pulling Xiao Jinsheng into the room openly. His tone was contemptuous. "I’m the one who took her. Why make things hard for her?"

"If you have a grudge, settle it with me in a fight."

At the same time, Xiao Jinsheng’s Star Map interface chimed with a message.

Li: Nod and confirm that I took you away last night.

Xiao Jinsheng faltered, debating whether she should let Li take the fall alone.

But before she could decide, Su Ye had already responded to Li, "There’s no need to drag her into our quarrels."

As he spoke, he approached to lightly pinch Xiao Jinsheng’s cheek. "What are you afraid of? Choosing someone is your right."

He might look fierce.

But he thought to himself that ever since they reconciled, he had stopped intimidating her with his gaze.

Xiao Jinsheng wanted to explain.

She wasn’t scared.

She felt guilty, that’s all.

But on second thought—

She was the head of this household!

Last night, she had merely skipped the lot-drawing process.

Who she ultimately chose was still up to her, wasn’t it?

Her mindset shifted. She strode over to sit at the main seat with flair. "Alright, let’s hear it—what are today’s plans?"

"What is this, a company meeting?" Mo Jiao scoffed.

"If I were opening a company, I’d be Chairwoman and hold 100% of the shares," Xiao Jinsheng replied, lifting her chin proudly.

"Chairwoman, let’s have breakfast first," Que Zelian said with a smile, placing a bowl of meat porridge he had already prepared in front of her.

Xiao Jinsheng’s eyes lit up with alarm. "D-Did you make this?"

"Yes. Don’t tell me you’re afraid to eat it?" Que Zelian smiled faintly.

"Of course not! Why wouldn’t I eat it?" Xiao Jinsheng nodded frantically, reluctantly taking a spoonful.

She had resigned herself to a bland and flavorless breakfast—but after one bite, her eyes lit up with surprise.

"Wow, babe, your cooking has improved!" Xiao Jinsheng transitioned from initial hesitation to eagerly taking the bowl into her hands.

"Didn’t see you for a few nights, so I used the time to practice cooking," Que Zelian replied with a warm smile.

The hand Xiao Jinsheng held the spoon with suddenly trembled.

She quickly opened her Star Map and sent Que Zelian a private message: "Who am I sleeping with tonight?"

Que Zelian: "With me."
