Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 188: Who Likes to Play Marbles? (Extra Monthly Ticket)
Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Who Likes to Play Marbles? (Extra Monthly Ticket)
The black mist swirled above the bed, partially shrouding the black scales.
Xiao Jinsheng was embraced by Mo Jiao, her figure completely hidden within the coils of his snake tail and his arms.
She brushed aside Mo Jiao’s long hair draped on her shoulder, feeling the snake tail lightly glide across her skin, sending a shiver down her spine.
She thought about how snakes were inherently different from other Beastmen.
Xiao Jinsheng belatedly realized, her palm pressing against Mo Jiao’s heated and firm chest muscles.
"What changes occur between beastification and human form?" Xiao Jinsheng asked worriedly.
She suddenly realized why Mo Jiao would worry about whether she liked him or not.
The partially beastified snake tail was thicker than her waist and six meters long.
Coiling atop the large bed, its tip still trailed down to the carpet.
If the tail could grow that big, then what about other parts...
Xiao Jinsheng dared not let her thoughts wander further.
"Don’t worry." Mo Jiao grasped her wrist, planting gentle kisses on her fingertips as he chuckled. "Beneath the snake scales lies what you can handle."
The black mist rose once more.
The entire bed was engulfed in the black mist, concealing every hint of springtime blush between them.
Only the snake tail on the carpet remained in sight, its tip flicking lightly and tapping against the floor, brimming with joy inside and out.

Now, Xiao Jinsheng effectively possessed two spaces.
One was the space she obtained through the terminal, a 12 Stars Level space.
The other was a newly constructed realm using the energy from the Mist Continent, Interstellar World, and Cultivation World—Realm.
Although the terminal space was large and provided each person with their own house, entering and exiting was inconvenient.
Beastmen needed to bind with a female’s terminal or enter through a Contractual Totem to qualify for access to the terminal space.
Similarly, every entry and exit required the female to lead others hand by hand.
But this new realm that she created was much more convenient.
As long as one had a contract with a female and referred to the interstellar world’s operation rules, access permissions could be set by the female.
The realm’s size was equivalent to the area comprising Xiao Jinsheng’s single house and yard.
Therefore, its maximum range for free entry and exit was restricted to this area.
Centered on Xiao Jinsheng, any contracted individuals within the set range could freely control their own entries into or exits from the realm.
There was no longer a need to wait for Xiao Jinsheng to wake up and lead them out of the realm.
This was why, the next day, when Xiao Jinsheng left the realm and arrived at the living room of the small house, she found that several of her Beast Husbands were already up.
Huaiqing had even prepared breakfast.
"Hungry? I’ve kept the breakfast warm for you," Huaiqing said as he saw Xiao Jinsheng coming downstairs, smiling and extending a hand toward her.
Xiao Jinsheng leaped down the stairs in a lively manner and excitedly leaned forward. "What’s for breakfast today?"
"According to the recipes you mentioned before, I’ve made shrimp dumplings, boat congee, corn cakes, steamed spare ribs, and steamed chicken feet," Huaiqing replied with a gentle smile.
"See what you like," he added with a chuckle.
"I want to try them all," Xiao Jinsheng said, looping an arm around his and looking up at him with a radiant smile. "Everything you make, I love to eat."
Huaiqing suppressed the amusement tugging at his lips, adjusted his glasses, and said, "With so many options, the portion sizes might be a bit much."
"Eat what you like, and I’ll handle the leftovers."
"Huaiqing, you haven’t had breakfast yet?" Xiao Jinsheng asked with concern.
"I’ve eaten," replied Huaiqing, who had maintained his habit of rising early.
"Oh~" Xiao Jinsheng nodded knowingly, her smile playful. "So you just want an excuse to share with me."
"Too late for that," Xiao Jinsheng said as she seated herself in the chair Huaiqing pulled out for her. "The things I like, I’ll finish them all."
"So the cake I baked for you last time, you only ate half of it because you didn’t like it?" Su Ye interjected with a faintly wounded tone from the side.
Xiao Jinsheng’s smile froze on her face.
She averted her eyes, looking at Su Ye with mock hurt. "What are you saying? That day, you spent so long baking that cake without eating anything. I was just worried you might starve."
"You have no idea how much mental preparation it took for me to decide to share half of the cake you baked just for me with you," she added.
"Next time, I’ll make more," Su Ye muttered embarrassedly, his golden eyes softening as the earlier edge in his tone faded.
"Actually..." Xiao Jinsheng hesitated, then said, "You could maybe use a little less sugar."
She had figured it out by now.
Since Su Ye had once made her that odd brew of red dates, brown sugar, and ginger tea, he had fully embarked on the path of making sweet desserts.
Cooking regular meals often led to kitchen disasters for him.
So he stuck to crafting sugary concoctions and dainty pastries for her.
The downside was that he feared she wouldn’t find them sweet enough, so his sugar usage always went overboard.
If Mo Jiao occasionally cooked as the king of salt,
Then Su Ye was the undisputed king of sugar.
"Where is Mo Jiao?" Yu Yunxiao asked, failing to find Mo Jiao’s figure but noticing that Xiao Jinsheng’s spiritual power level had returned from One Star back to Four Stars.
It was obvious!
Last night, Xiao Jinsheng had not chosen to play marbles with Mo Jiao!
The more Yu Yunxiao thought about it, the angrier he became.
Remembering where Mo Jiao had gone, Xiao Jinsheng choked on her words.
The realm was safe, but the space within the realm couldn’t compare to the terminal space in size.
In the past, the sheets they’d slept on in the terminal space were conveniently washed in Mo Jiao’s house there.
Now that they lived in the realm, she had to wait until she woke up to take Mo Jiao to the terminal space to do the laundry.
"I don’t know," Xiao Jinsheng replied with a straight face. "He said something about looking for some documents and asked me to send him to the terminal space."
She turned her attention to Yu Yunxiao, whose temper from the previous night had yet to subside.
Xiao Jinsheng naturally understood Yu Yunxiao’s frustration.
She calmly sipped her congee while using the Star Map to contact Yu Yunxiao.
Xiao Jinsheng: Dr. Meow, I think I’m sick.
Yu Yunxiao: ???
Yu Yunxiao: What’s wrong? Did you catch a cold last night?
Yu Yunxiao: It’s already November in the Mist Continent. You’re hanging around a cold-blooded snake; how could you not get sick from the chill!
Seeing Yu Yunxiao anxiously get up to come over and treat her,
Xiao Jinsheng hurriedly sent another message to stop him.
Xiao Jinsheng: It’s not a cold!
Xiao Jinsheng: It’s about my Spiritual Power Level. I think it might be sick.
Xiao Jinsheng: ≧∇≦ Tonight, I definitely need Dr. Meow’s help for treatment.
Xiao Jinsheng: Dr. Meow, do you think my condition is treatable? Can I recover back to four, five, six, seven, or even eight stars?
Yu Yunxiao froze.
Much like a puffed-up kitten quickly soothed with a gentle stroke, he quieted down and stayed still on the side.
The cat ears among his white hair twitched happily, and Yu Yunxiao, blushing, avoided everyone’s gaze.
Yu Yunxiao: No take-backs.
Xiao Jinsheng: Dr. Meow, my spiritual power needs treatment.
Yu Yunxiao: No playing marbles!
Xiao Jinsheng: ...I don’t even like marbles.
Who likes marbles anyway?
Do you like them?
Does he?
Well, I don’t like them.
If it weren’t for that damned terminal being such a pervert, always monitoring others,
Xiao Jinsheng wouldn’t have to sacrifice all the "meat" around her and abstain.
Thankfully, there was now the realm.
With the realm in place, even the small house outside the realm would block terminal surveillance.
The blocking function naturally wasn’t as strong outside the realm, though.
Inside the realm, the terminal couldn’t monitor anything.
Outside the realm, if the terminal actively tried to spy, it couldn’t be stopped.
Still, in the realm’s vicinity, Xiao Jinsheng, as the Realm Lord, would receive an information alert anytime the terminal tried to view her.
So within the boundaries of the realm, she no longer feared her privacy being invaded during daily life.
Terminal, such a pervert. Who disagrees?
"Delicious, nearly hatched." The terminal once again projected an illusion of the insect brain, occasionally licking it as if to quench some craving.
