Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 172: Bai Yan, Let’s Get Divorced

The pitch-black pupils of the Terminal narrowed as it gazed down in satisfaction. Because of it, the Insect Clan had already opened a passage and prematurely descended onto the Mist Continent.

The apocalypse had descended due to its actions, and the initial despair that erupted among humanity provided it with a hearty feast.

The dangerous apocalypse and terrifying zombies would keep the survivors perpetually trapped in their deepest fears—the most exquisite tasting emotion.

Until... humanity awakened their superpowers, gaining the ability to protect themselves.

The Terminal greatly adored this world, especially the food born from this world.

With the World Consciousness in slumber, it easily took control over the governing of this world.

The Poisonous Fog was released when it broke the seal of the Mist Continent, and through it, it created entities even more terrifying than zombies—Fog Corpses.

Because of the Fog Corpses, the Mist Continent, under the Terminal’s control, began operating under new rules.

Yet even the Terminal did not anticipate that the Poisonous Fog was a double-edged sword. While it could exploit the fog’s capabilities, in the end, it could no longer control it.

The Star Stones of the Beastmen exposed to the Poisonous Fog were consumed by it, which led to the Terminal itself now being corroded by the Poisonous Fog.

Meanwhile, on Cloud Island, after two years, the Poisonous Fog contamination affecting Xuan Jiu and Chen Yunji was partially purified.

The original intent was to issue a task, directing survivors to cultivate plants capable of purifying the fog across residential areas in Mist East.

That way, in its already perfect rules, an additional one could be established—making the food purify itself.

But...

The Terminal glanced at the newly-descended yet still lurking Insect Clan on the Mist Continent.

It looked satisfied and smiled silently.

Fresh, uncontaminated delicacies—how marvelous.

Not only would the Insect Clan bring humanity on the Mist Continent renewed fear, but that was even better.

The Terminal shattered the defenses across the Mist Continent completely, watching quietly as batch after batch of the Insect Clan landed in every corner of the continent.

It was patient. It had always been patient.

It would wait for the food to mature.

And then wait again, until all the people together were presented atop the dining table.

In Cui Bai City in Mist East, Bai Yan was panickedly pacing because she couldn’t find Xi Qu and Ying Fei.

Outside the room, Bai Qiming’s shocked voice echoed in.

He ran in excitedly, pulling Bai Yan along as they rushed outside: "He’s back! Ying Fei is back!"

"They’re back?" Bai Yan looked thrilled.

Following Bai Qiming to the yard gate, she saw Ying Fei slumped, his jaw covered in bluish stubble, eyes hollow as he stared ahead.

"Ying Fei, where have you been all this time?" Bai Yan asked worriedly.

She noticed how much thinner he had become, and tears began to roll down her face.

"Where’s Xi Qu?" Bai Yan scanned around, finding only Ying Fei had returned.

"He’s dead," Ying Fei replied coldly.

"Dead?" Beside her, Jin Ao was horrified. "Xi Qu was a Twelve Stars; how could he just die?"

Since when did Twelve Stars Beastmen become so fragile?

"Heh." Ying Fei evidently found Jin Ao amusing.

Looking down, his dark, brooding gaze fell on Bai Yan. As he withdrew the hand she had clasped tightly, he spoke indifferently: "Bai Yan, let’s divorce."

"Di...vorce?" Bai Yan was stunned.

Panic surged within her, and she clung tightly to Ying Fei’s hand. "Why do you want a divorce? These past twenty-something days, where have you been? Do you know how worried I was about you?"

"Ying Fei, what did you go through during this time? Why have you become like this? Is someone threatening you?"

"Is it..." Bai Yan racked her mind for possible suspects.

Finally, she landed her suspicion on Xiao Jinsheng.

Clutching painfully at her chest, she questioned miserably, "Was it Xiao Jinsheng? And that idiot she always keeps close?"

"Did she tell that idiot to do something to you while kidnapping you?"

"Xi Qu is dead, and your focus is still on divorcing me?" Ying Fei sneered.

Bai Yan froze where she stood.

"I... Xi Qu, I..." Bai Yan choked up, beginning to weep. "So tell me, what did you encounter? Who was it? Who kidnapped you and killed Xi Qu?"

"It’s you." Ying Fei spoke ruthlessly, his gaze toward Bai Yan filled with disdain.

"That’s enough!" Jin Ao angrily pulled Bai Yan aside and delivered a kick toward Ying Fei.

Even though he was a Twelve Stars, Ying Fei’s current physical condition left him unable to dodge.

He collapsed onto the ground, coughing up blood heavily.

When he raised his head toward Jin Ao, his eyes were brimming with hatred and hostility.

Jin Ao growled furiously, revealing his superpower, and was about to strike again when Xue Ruiyang quickly intervened.

"Ying Fei must have gone through something; his emotions are unstable. Let’s first hear his story," Xue Ruiyang advised.

"You didn’t hear what he said just now?" Jin Ao roared. "He and Xi Qu left without a word! Do you know how worried Bai Yan’s been these days?"

"But what does he do?"

"The first thing he does after coming back is blame Bai Yan and talk about divorce."

"You think a Beastman like him has the right to divorce? If there’s a divorce, it should be Bai Yan initiating it. Bai Yan should be the one rejecting him outright!"

"Get lost! Get out of my house!"

"Defend her now. Later, you’ll only regret it." Ying Fei wiped the blood from his mouth. His chilling gaze landed on Bai Yan. He coldly pushed, "Let’s divorce. There’s nothing left to say between us."

"Divorce, then. Let’s divorce." Jin Ao swiftly responded for Bai Yan. He pressed further, "And Xi Qu? Who killed him? Was it you?"

Xi Qu was Twelve Stars. Jin Ao himself had witnessed Xi Qu’s might.

Both being Twelve Stars, if Ying Fei had died instead, Jin Ao might have found it more reasonable.

"I said, he’s dead." Ying Fei smirked coldly, and he addressed Bai Yan sternly, "Xi Qu died because of you. Everything you’ve done caused his death. And you’ll lead all of us to our deaths."

"Ying Fei, we’re husband and wife."

Bai Yan buried her face in her hands, collapsing feebly into Jin Ao’s arms. "Why? Why? We were the ones who loved each other! Why are you saying this? You’re both my Beast Husbands. How could I harm you?"

"Even if we are people in love, in your heart, there’s always a hierarchy." Ying Fei remarked.

Particularly watching Bai Yan nestled in Jin Ao’s embrace, the scene made his eyes sting.

"Between Jin Ao and me, you love him more." Ying Fei said with bitter self-mockery. "That’s why, when you had the last Star-breaking Pill, you hesitated at his door before finally knocking on mine."

Bai Yan’s face turned pale, frozen in place.

Even Jin Ao could feel the stiff trembling of the woman in his arms.

Bai Yan: [System, what’s going on? Why does he know about this?]

The Insect Brain remained silent.

It had seen everything Ying Fei and Xi Qu endured at the Terminal. free𝑤ebnovel.com

But what it had not expected was why the Terminal, known to feast on Beastmen, had chosen to let a doomed Ying Fei go.

The Insect Brain pondered briefly before responding gravely: [His memories have been altered.]

It urged her: [You don’t need me to tell you who did it, but you can guess.]

Bai Yan: [Was it Xiao Jinsheng? Did Xiao Jinsheng and that idiot mess with him?]

Bai Yan grew increasingly agitated: [She wants revenge on me. She wants revenge for what I did to alter her memory.]

The Insect Brain praised her: [Correct. That idiot is in the same field as me. It’s also a system.]
