Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 158 Memory Modification Successful

The Insect Brain and Bai Yan wanted to raise bugs, but Xiao Jinsheng refused to let them have their way.

Bugs, huh. The local species of the Mist Continent were already enough.

Bai Yan understood well the dangers of alien species invasion.

Xiao Jinsheng was waiting for Bai Yan to make a move on Chen Yunji so she could force the Insect Brain out with pesticide.

Bai Yan was waiting for the Insect Brain to send bugs her way.

But sitting around idly wasn’t her style.

Bai Yan kept a close watch on Xiao Jinsheng’s activities. Sure enough, she caught Xiao Jinsheng exploiting Chen Yunji again.

Clearly, Xiao Jinsheng already had seven Beast Husbands—enough labor to get things done.

Beside her, Yu Yunxiao and Mo Jiao stood silently.

Bai Yan couldn’t make sense of it. Chen Yunji wasn’t even one of Xiao Jinsheng’s Beast Husbands, so why was he still working at her home?

Bai Yan: [You’re telling me Chen Yunji and Xiao Jinsheng have no ties? There isn’t even a spark between them.]

Bai Yan: [Then why is Chen Yunji laboring at her place, so willing and uncomplaining? Does Xiao Jinsheng have something on him?]

Insect Brain: [How would I know? I’m bound to you, not to Xiao Jinsheng’s system.]

Bai Yan: [A Beastman of Eleven Stars like Chen Yunji stays at Xiao Jinsheng’s place, unnamed and unaccepted, while suffering exclusion. What’s he after?]

Bai Yan couldn’t tolerate what she was witnessing.

Especially when she saw Chen Yunji, blindfolded and visually impaired, struggling to plant trees alone.

His movements were clumsy; some saplings he planted were skewed, yet none of Xiao Jinsheng’s Beast Husbands bothered to help.

Li was even worse.

As he moved around carrying saplings, he found Chen Yunji’s trees in the way. Without care, he kicked them down.

When Chen Yunji finished planting and came back to check, seeing his saplings treated like that, he merely swallowed his anger and silently straightened them again.

The sight made Bai Yan even angrier.

Bai Yan: [Watch Chen Yunji’s situation carefully. If Xiao Jinsheng’s bunch doesn’t accept him, I’ll be the one to rescue him.]

Insect Brain: [I’m running low on energy. I need to conserve it.]

Bai Yan: [Just monitor and listen in on a little bit of information. That’d barely cost you any energy.]

Hearing this, the Insect Brain obliged.

Its monitoring awareness shifted to Chen Yunji’s surroundings, capturing Li’s disdainful voice: "How much longer is he going to cling on in my house?"

"He’s Eleven Stars. We can’t beat him. What else can we do?" Huaiqing tried to reason.

"We’re both Ten Stars. You and I, two against one—are you saying we can’t take him down?" Li invited Shi Xie as an ally.

Shi Xie shook his head fearfully, "I haven’t been feeling well lately. The Female Master said I’m not allowed to fight. I need to listen to her."

Su Yejin’s golden eyes burned with battle intent. He spoke in a chilling tone, "The men in this house are already plenty. There’s no way I’d agree to let this blind man join!"

Insect Brain: [Here’s your good news.]

Insect Brain: [Chen Yunji likes Xiao Jinsheng. He’s stubbornly clinging to her house.]

Insect Brain: [But Xiao Jinsheng’s Beast Husbands all dislike Chen Yunji.]

Bai Yan: [What about Xiao Jinsheng? What’s her stance?]

Bai Yan sneered: [If her Beast Husbands don’t want her to accept Chen Yunji, then she should reject his affections outright. Keeping him hanging—what kind of petty move is that?]

Saying this, Bai Yan’s gaze fell on Chen Yunji, who was busy at work planting trees. Focused and meticulous, his white robes remained spotless, as if untouched by the elements due to the isolation of his superpowers.

"Being blind is such a disadvantage." Bai Yan sighed. "You can’t even see through people."

As for Xiao Jinsheng, Bai Yan scoffed even more.

Flirting with Chen Yunji yet not having the guts to convince her seven Beast Husbands to let Chen Yunji join the household.

If she couldn’t even control her own Beast Husbands, what kind of Female Master was she?

But this played perfectly into Bai Yan’s hands.

Bai Yan chuckled inwardly.

If Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t take her chances, she couldn’t blame Bai Yan for stealing them.

After all, Bai Yan was only trying to strengthen herself.

On the Mist Continent, females were scarce, males were abundant, and the life-and-death bonds enforced by the Terminal were ever-present.

Bai Yan thought, wasn’t this supposed to be an advantage for females?

And Beastmen naturally made excellent assets for females to exploit.

Chen Yunji’s poor vision, or outright blindness, made him even easier to manipulate.

Everyone else was planting trees. While their saplings grew in straight lines, his formed parabola-like patterns.

And the farther he went, the more off course he became.

When Chen Yunji wandered out of the designated Tree Planting Area, Xiao Jinsheng’s Beast Husbands noticed but maliciously chose not to warn him.

They stood by and watched as he wasted his efforts, their schadenfreude palpable. Seeing this, Bai Yan’s thoughts began to swirl.

Bai Yan: [What a perfect opportunity.]

Bai Yan: [Got any energy left? Mislead Chen Yunji’s path a bit more.]

As long as Chen Yunji wandered out of Xiao Jinsheng’s line of sight, she’d have a chance to let the Insect Brain make its move.

Insect Brain: [I’ll give it a try. After all, he can’t see, right?]

The Insect Brain’s interference was silent and seamless.

Chen Yunji continued planting trees, straying farther into the wilderness.

Bai Yan, bound to the Insect Brain and unable to venture too far from it, used the pretense of retreating to her car to rest.

In truth, she’d already instructed the Insect Brain to teleport her close to Chen Yunji.

The area Chen Yunji had stumbled into was a downhill slope.

His figure was completely concealed by the raised ground and overgrown weeds.

Even an idiot would realize they’d gone the wrong way by now.

But with his vision obstructed, Chen Yunji could only fumble around uncertainly, trying to find his way back.

Through the Insect Brain’s teleportation, Bai Yan appeared silently in front of Chen Yunji.

She observed him quietly, wary of his Eleven Star strength, and dared not make a sound.

Instead, she called out to the Insect Brain in her mind: [Can you use the memory-altering superpower now?]

Insect Brain: [Wait a moment. Don’t move; as long as you stay still, my system’s disguise won’t fail.]

Insect Brain: [At Eleven Stars, he’s too strong. If anyone nearby senses something, it’s over.]

Insect Brain: [Let him panic a bit more. Then we can use the skill to modify his memory.]

Insect Brain: [What do you want to change?]

Bai Yan: [It doesn’t matter, as long as he listens to me.]

Chen Yunji’s absence seemed not to concern anyone on Xiao Jinsheng’s end.

The others kept planting trees, and some of the more spiteful ones even uprooted Chen Yunji’s planted saplings and re-planted them in their designated areas, saving themselves some effort.

That person was, naturally, Li.

Meanwhile, across the small river, Bai Yan’s own Beast Husbands also noted the subtle skirmishes within Xiao Jinsheng’s group.

Bai Qiming sighed, "Looks like trouble brews everywhere."

In Xiao Jinsheng’s household, seven Beast Husbands ganged up to bully the newcomer, Chen Yunji.

In their own household, the newly arrived Qing Zelin also faced rejection.

"Caicai, follow them," Xiao Jinsheng gently patted a small creature at her side.

Bai Yan and the Insect Brain were devious. She feared Chen Yunji wouldn’t be able to handle them alone.

"Don’t worry about me." Caicai’s voice was full of confidence.

Slipping behind Mo Jiao for cover, Caicai avoided being seen by Jin Ao and the others on the opposite side of the river before transforming.

As a buzzing fly, it darted swiftly towards Chen Yunji’s location.

Seeing Chen Yunji make his move, Xiao Jinsheng took two companions and quietly followed.

Proceeding with caution, she brought Li and Shi Xie along with her.

Meanwhile, Chen Yunji, having stumbled into a pit on the sloping terrain while trying to find his way back, kept veering further astray.

Unable to see clearly and failing repeatedly to locate his way home, he called out weakly for help, his voice trembling, "Xiao Jinsheng, are you there?"

Fearing Xiao Jinsheng might be out of earshot, he called the names of others as well.

Yet no response came.

At this moment, the Insect Brain spoke: [Emotional fluctuations stabilized. Beginning memory modification.]

[Memory modification complete.]
