Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 178: Kitty Learns to Make Tea
Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Kitty Learns to Make Tea
Xiao Jinsheng helped Yu Yunxiao to the sofa in the bedroom, then turned to leave.
Yu Yunxiao reached out and pulled her into his arms, muttering, "Where are you going? You promised to stay with me today."
"I’m just getting some water." Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t help but laugh.
She turned back, sitting on his lap, and reached out to pinch his cat ears. "Little kitty, your learning ability’s impressive—already making tea now."
"So you can usually tell when Shi Xie is pretending, huh?" Yu Yunxiao said with mock annoyance.
Xiao Jinsheng immediately shut her mouth, feeling regretful.
Damned mouth—why so quick to speak? The brain’s still trying to catch up.
"No, I can’t," Xiao Jinsheng softly refuted.
"You can. The moment he cries, you comfort him," Yu Yunxiao insisted.
"But don’t I also comfort my little kitty when you get upset?" Xiao Jinsheng retorted.
Before Yu Yunxiao could respond, she hooked her arms around his neck and directly kissed him.
Any lingering anger was swallowed by the kiss.
Yu Yunxiao tightened his embrace, holding the person in his arms with force.
When the kiss finally ended, Xiao Jinsheng looked at his slightly dampened lips and teased, "Little kitty, my spiritual power has dropped to One Star."
"Let me help you..." Yu Yunxiao replied eagerly.
But just as he carried Xiao Jinsheng toward the bathroom, he suddenly stopped.
He looked down at Xiao Jinsheng, who was cradled in his arms.
They locked eyes and spoke simultaneously: "The Terminal’s not monitoring everything, is it?"
"Hiss—" Xiao Jinsheng took a sharp breath. "The Terminal must be a pervert."
"Definitely a pervert!" Yu Yunxiao agreed, carrying Xiao Jinsheng back to the sofa.
Their gazes met, but neither spoke.
While their emotions had already been stirred, the thought of the Terminal possibly observing them left them feeling disgusted and covered in goosebumps.
"My spiritual power..." Xiao Jinsheng wailed, burying her face into Yu Yunxiao’s chest and rubbing furiously against him.
Yu Yunxiao, his face flushed, placed a hand on her head and chided, "This is not the time to push things further."
"If we can’t do that, how about playing a game?" Xiao Jinsheng suggested.
Mentioning games immediately sparked Yu Yunxiao’s interest.
He asked excitedly, "What do you want to play? I can play anything."
"Let’s play Terminal Bounce," Xiao Jinsheng said, pulling out a handful of marbles. "This one’s the Terminal, this one’s also the Terminal, and this one too—these are all Terminals."
"The game is, we smash the Terminal."
"No," Yu Yunxiao objected. He picked through the marbles in Xiao Jinsheng’s palm and selected the ugliest one. "This one will be the Terminal. The others don’t deserve it."
"Okay, okay. Ten for you, ten for me. Let’s smash it together," Xiao Jinsheng agreed, splitting the remaining marbles into two halves.
The two of them lay on the bed, unconcerned that the bed was soft.
They played marbles late into the night.
It wasn’t until one of Yu Yunxiao’s marbles knocked the "Terminal" off the bed that he noticed Xiao Jinsheng hadn’t made any noise on her end.
He turned his head and saw Xiao Jinsheng with her face buried in the blanket. She was clutching a few marbles in her hand but had fallen asleep.
"I thought you could hold out longer," Yu Yunxiao chuckled softly.
He gently pried her curled fingers apart and took the marbles from her hand.
After changing the bedsheet, he helped Xiao Jinsheng wash up briefly and tucked her into the soft blankets.
A fluffy white cat tail appeared under the blanket, lightly wrapping around Xiao Jinsheng’s lower back and brushing against her.
Yu Yunxiao positioned her in his arms so she could sleep in the most comfortable position before turning off the lights in the room.
Warm glimmers of healing light floated in the room, like twinkling stars.
The moon rose above the willow trees, and the chirping of insects could be heard.
The Terminal wasn’t even paying attention to what Xiao Jinsheng or her family were doing.
A group of humans it had already sentenced to death wouldn’t cause much trouble for long.
Compared to Xiao Jinsheng, the Terminal was more focused on Bai Yan... and the Insect Brain lodged in her mind.
Thus, Xiao Jinsheng and Yu Yunxiao’s sneering comments went unnoticed by the Terminal.
Instead, it was setting a table for itself, arranging an assortment of exquisite tableware.
The insect eggs laid by the Insect Clan on the Mist Continent—it had observed them all.
They were of varying species as well.
Once those eggs hatched, it would issue new Star Map Tasks, instructing the females and Mutant Beasts to capture insects for it.
Different insect dishes could be served on different types of tableware.
The Terminal carefully selected a goblet crafted from Twelve Star Star Stones and mused with interest: "Maybe I can press some star stone insect juice to try?"
The pairing of a main dish with some snacks should taste excellent, right?
The Terminal sat at its table, eagerly anticipating the day the Insect Clan on the Mist Continent hatched.

Interstellar World, Thirteen District.
A giant green onion chased after a tall, slender man with long ink-black hair tied up high with a jade pin, donning battle attire that combined the aesthetics of both wuxia and technology.
"Long Aotian, to hell with you!"
"Would lending me a few points kill you?"
Lou Yan Zhi stepped into his flying car with long strides and glanced back at the large green onion standing amidst the desolate ruins.
The glowing silver lines on his technologically advanced glasses hid the amusement in his eyes. "You’re asking Long Aotian for points. What’s that got to do with me, Lou Yan Zhi?"
"I’ll pay you back, okay?!" Caicai exclaimed, hopping angrily by the car door.
Not bothering to respond, Lou Yan Zhi called out to his Intelligent Brain, "Set the quickest route to the battlefield in Zone A."
Intelligent Brain: [Route has been set. It includes three space-jump points: 1st jump—1 minute, 2nd jump—4 minutes, 3rd jump—2 minutes.]
Intelligent Brain: [Space turbulence has been avoided. Please prepare for the first space jump in 120 seconds.]
"You heard that, right?" Lou Yan Zhi tilted his head to look at Caicai. "You’ve got less than two minutes left."
"I need to get to the Mist Continent," Caicai emphasized. "Couldn’t you just lend me some points? If not, I can’t make it."
"You already owe me a million points," Lou Yan Zhi reminded him mercilessly.
"You stingy Sword Cultivator! I’ll pick up some extra tasks for you, and the points will practically make themselves!" Caicai retorted angrily.
It was in a hurry to deliver a message to Xiao Jinsheng.
Who would’ve thought the Mist Continent’s original defense systems had been withdrawn?
Now, surrounding the Mist Continent was an Insect Clan defense network.
In other words, the Mist Continent had already been encircled by the Insect Clan, merely awaiting the moment their main forces descended.
The Mist Continent’s apocalypse had only lasted eighty years so far.
Facing the Fog Corpses was already a challenge.
How could anyone possibly deal with the Insect Clan?
Caicai could ignore others, but Xiao Jinsheng? Absolutely not.
It had been the one to send Xiao Jinsheng into the Mist Continent. frёeωebɳovel.com
No matter what, it had to get her out before the Insect Clan descended upon the Mist Continent.
"I’m very busy. Even if you take on a mission, I wouldn’t have time to complete it," Lou Yan Zhi rejected flatly.
Seeing Caicai hopping around in frantic urgency, he lazily added, "I’ve checked. The Insect Clan has already locked onto the Mist Continent’s coordinates. Their invasion is only a matter of time."
"The Mist Continent is far from the Thirteen District. Even if I wanted to help, I wouldn’t make it in time."
Given the Insect Clan’s devastating power, by the time the Interstellar World responded to the Mist Continent’s plight, its human inhabitants would already be wiped out, and the Mist Continent fully overtaken.
"But you—you’re rushing there. It’s obviously not to save the entire Mist Continent." Lou Yan Zhi’s piercing intuition saw through Caicai’s intentions. He smirked, "You can’t save everyone. So, you’re planning to take Xiao Jinsheng away?"
