Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 185 I Am Willing to Pledge Loyalty to the Family Head
Chapter 185: Chapter 185 I Am Willing to Pledge Loyalty to the Family Head
Xuan Jiu was so irritated he could feel his chest tightening, resisting the urge to roll his eyes.
He never expected Chen Yunji to act unchecked again, starting with a zero-frame attack.
Xuan Jiu shot a sharp glare at Chen Yunji, wishing he could kick him on the spot.
"Dammit, smooth it over already!"
Every time it was the same zero-frame opener, messing up all his plans.
"I’m willing to sign the Guardian Contract." Chen Yunji’s words barely landed before the seven Beast Husband companions of Xiao Jinsheng were staring at him even colder.
Looking down at his recently reactivated Star Map account, he flatly said, "I don’t want to die."
"I really don’t want to die, just let me into the Space, please."
The group froze for a moment.
Except for Xuan Jiu, who chuckled to himself.
"You’re willing to sign a Guardian Contract with me?" Xiao Jinsheng cautiously confirmed.
She reminded him, "Even a Guardian Contract will primarily prioritize my interests and my life’s safety."
"Protecting you is my..." Just as Chen Yunji was about to explain, his Star Map received a notification.
He could only read it out loud, "I don’t want to die. The Space is the only place to hide. Protecting you is the exchange for signing the Guardian Contract and gaining access to the Space for refuge."
Chen Yunji’s tone was cold and devoid of any emotion.
But seeing his stoic demeanor, the seven Beast Husbands oddly seemed reassured.
Xuan Jiu alone laughed quietly, satisfied as he closed his chat window with Chen Yunji on the Star Map.
Before achieving his goals, under no circumstances could he expose his plans.
After all, these were just a bunch of simple-minded cats, leopards, snakes, chaos fish, finches, and sheep.
"Caicai, does this work?" Xiao Jinsheng sought confirmation from Caicai.
Caicai nodded. "Don’t worry, it’s a minor issue."
"Contracts on Mist Continent are too basic—they only have Totems representing married couples."
"In the Interstellar World, contracts are much more varied. They’re not confined to marital relationships and can still serve as binding agreements."
"Of course, the Cultivation World has the most contracts."
"I want to sign a contract too." As soon as Caicai finished explaining, Xuan Jiu, who had been silent all this time, raised his hand.
The gaze of the seven Beast Husbands instantly turned cold and fixed on him.
Xuan Jiu just flashed an earnest smile, sliding dramatically to kneel before Xiao Jinsheng. "Family Head, sign a Master-Servant Contract with your loyal servant. I’m willing to be your horse or ox as long as I can enter the Space and survive."
Already struggling with poor vision, Chen Yunji was now also contemplating plugging his ears.
Crazy fox.
The reputation is well-earned.
"Are you serious?" Xiao Jinsheng curled up into the couch with her arms wrapped around her legs, asking Xuan Jiu with exasperation.
Xuan Jiu responded, teary and impassioned, "I want to live so badly! I’ve already died four times. I don’t want to actually die seven times and end up summoning the Divine Dragon!"
"I’m willing to pledge my loyalty to you, Family Head. Even if it’s a Master-Servant Contract, I’d still agree!"
"Just let me into the Space, let me live!"
"No... no need to go that far." Xiao Jinsheng grasped a throw pillow and dodged away from Xuan Jiu, trembling as she replied, "The Guardian Contract is enough."
After all, they were allies.
No need to get into such extreme agreements like a Master-Servant Contract.
Not to mention, when Xuan Jiu unearthed the Star Stone and chose to face death alone, it was based on the Terminal’s options.
"But I don’t have a Star Stone," Xuan Jiu said sorrowfully. "I don’t even have the strength to protect myself now."
"Signing the Guardian Contract means it’s me who’s supposed to protect you."
"Surely it wouldn’t make sense for me to borrow your Space and then turn around and let you protect me?"
"Unless..." Xuan Jiu lowered his voice, mumbling with embarrassment, "Your strength is overwhelming. If you protected me, it would be an honor, and I’d feel quite relieved."
"You’re a freeloader, huh?" Mo Jiao, struggling to hold back, finally snapped.
"I should really check your brain." Yu Yunxiao raised a fist, threatening the fox.
Xuan Jiu looked sincerely at Yu Yunxiao and said, "My brain is definitely broken, but you can’t fix it."
"To cure my mind, you’d need Twelve Stars-level power."
Yu Yunxiao fell silent.
He felt like he’d run into a piece of Divine Gold.
"You handle this one," Su Ye whispered to Shi Xie.
Xiao Jinsheng, hearing the commotion, also glanced in Shi Xie’s direction.
The cold aura surrounding Shi Xie instantly dissipated as he softened his gaze toward Xiao Jinsheng. "For matters like this, it naturally depends on our Female Master’s decision."
"No matter what you choose, Female Master, I will support you."
Shi Xie’s eyes glinted momentarily. Crazy fox, if you dare to play any tricks...
Don’t blame me for helping you reach seven deaths to summon the Divine Dragon.
"We’ll sign Guardian Contracts like Chen Yunji," Xiao Jinsheng decided decisively.
Xuan Jiu said hesitantly, "But I don’t have any strength right now. Mo Jiao called me a freeloader."
"He was joking," Xiao Jinsheng explained for Mo Jiao’s sake. "He thought you were too hyped up and wanted to calm you down."
"Oh, really? I should thank..." Xuan Jiu’s words trailed off. It suddenly clicked that something about Xiao Jinsheng’s statement felt off.
He was overly hyped?
Mo Jiao mocking him was meant to "calm him down"? Xiao Jinsheng, do you think this makes sense?!
Xuan Jiu wanted to ask, but instead, he chose to shut up.
"Thank you, Mo Jiao," Xuan Jiu said, glancing back at him. "After hearing your words, I feel comforted by how cold my corpse would be."
"You’re welcome," Mo Jiao replied coolly.
Facing Xuan Jiu, he had no desire to engage anymore.
Previously, he suspected this fox was putting on an act of madness to grab Xiao Jinsheng’s attention.
Now he was certain.
Xuan Jiu was just mentally unstable.
Mo Jiao wasn’t alone in thinking this.
Even Que Zelian and Huaiqing had concluded that Xuan Jiu truly wasn’t right in the head. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
For this reason, they had no problem accepting that Xuan Jiu and Chen Yunji were signing contracts with Xiao Jinsheng.
After all, these weren’t Totems representing marriage, just Guardian Contracts.
"Then we’ll create the Space first. Once the Space is formed and the energy stabilizes, you can proceed to sign the Guardian Contracts," Caicai explained.
Since Xiao Jinsheng and her companions were still on Mist Continent, they naturally had no access to Interstellar Energy.
Only after creating the Space and borrowing the Interstellar Energy within it could they sign the contracts with Chen Yunji and Xuan Jiu.
With Caicai’s system in place and all the materials gathered—alongside a diverse group of Superpower Users—it wasn’t too challenging.
Also, Xiao Jinsheng didn’t need to design the Space anew.
The interior blueprint was simply modeled after the small villa layout assigned by the Terminal.
Front and back yards surrounded the small villa. On the first floor were the living room, kitchen, and recreational training areas.
The second floor housed eleven rooms.
The master bedroom belonged to Xiao Jinsheng.
The other ten rooms were distributed—one per Beast Husband, one for each temporary guest, and one for Caicai.
To prevent the Beast Husbands from fighting over rooms, the layout remained unchanged, maintaining their previous placements.
In the front yard, Xiao Jinsheng even prepared a down-to-earth small shed for the Cannibal Flower.
Caicai continuously monitored the Space creation process. The materials came from the pinnacle of three different worlds.
Under everyone’s combined efforts, the Space was finished quickly.
To distinguish it from the 12 Stars Space assigned by the Terminal, Xiao Jinsheng decided to give this collaboratively created Space a name.
"Since it was built using energy from three worlds and sourced from different Realms, how about we call it ’Tri-Realm’?" Xiao Jinsheng suggested to the group.
"I thought you’d just call it ’Three Worlds,’" Yu Yunxiao quipped.
"’Three Worlds’ usually refers to the Desire Realm, the Color Realm, and the Colorless Realm. We’re just a small Space, not suitable for that name," Que Zelian responded.
Caicai gazed at Que Zelian in awe. "Your tone is just like my previous Host’s."
