Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 192: As Long as It’s Not Too Big a Battleground

Chapter 192: Chapter 192: As Long as It’s Not Too Big a Battleground

Compared to Bai Yan, Kong Chengrui suspected that Xiao Jinsheng was the real betrayer mentioned by the terminal.

Over on Xiao Jinsheng’s side, she understood as well that in the Mist Continent, there could be two betrayers.

The exposure of the Mist Continent’s cosmic coordinates was definitely the handiwork of Bai Yan or the Insect Brain.

As for the breach of the Mist Continent’s defenses, that must have been the terminal accusing others while being the culprit itself.

After all, in this world, once humans reached the Twelve Stars, they would merely become food.

They had no chance to continue increasing their strength.

As an ordinary survivor, even if she wanted to play the role of betrayer, she wouldn’t have the power to do so.

Everyone was thoroughly disgusted by the terminal, yet they had no choice but to complete the tasks it assigned.

No matter the terminal’s motives.

Planting Purification Trees on the Mist Continent and finding and destroying insect eggs were already a necessary means of survival for its inhabitants.

Even though their goals overlapped, Xiao Jinsheng had no intentions of following the terminal’s instructions to collect the insect eggs and deliver them to Cloud Island.

The Insect Clan was an invader, to begin with.

Allowing their insect eggs to exist for even one more day—Xiao Jinsheng feared that time would breed nightmares, where she might wake to find an insect hatched and crouching by her bedside.

The family planted the final few saplings and collected the terminal’s reward.

With the remaining Star Stones, they rushed to enhance their Superpower Levels.

Xiao Jinsheng’s current stats were Plundering 10 Stars and Spiritual Power 4 Stars.

She had initially thought the side effect of the Plundering superpower reducing spiritual power was tolerable.

Now that she wasn’t afraid to level up to Twelve Stars and face off against the terminal, this side effect had become a nuisance.

Alright, she admitted she was capricious.

At least, when it came to superpowers.

But in dealing with her Beast Husbands, she would balance everything.

Tonight had been set aside for the "little kitty," so Xiao Jinsheng chose the little kitty.

It had been a busy day, with a side trip to the Mist West where she wiped out a few waves of Fog Corpses.

They had obtained just enough Star Stones to last the family one evening.

After dinner, Yu Yunxiao eagerly urged Xiao Jinsheng, "What game are we playing tonight?" novelbuddy-cσ๓

His golden-blue abnormal pupils looked at Xiao Jinsheng with anticipation.

Remembering how Li had broken the rules in previous games,

Que Zelian and Mo Jiao had joined Xiao Jinsheng in cheating as well.

Since no one followed the rules anymore, it seemed to be Yu Yunxiao’s turn to cheat this time.

"I haven’t decided on the game yet," Xiao Jinsheng replied with a smile, glancing at her seven Beast Husbands. "But there is one other thing I need your cooperation with."

"Should we sign another Guardian Contract?"

Upon hearing this, Li’s reddened eyes looked at her with a wounded expression. "Guardian Contracts aren’t marriage. Are you... planning to divorce me?"

At the mention of divorce, the men present were instantly on edge.

They were collectively resistant to signing another Guardian Contract with Xiao Jinsheng.

"No more games for me. I’m tired; I’ll head to bed," Yu Yunxiao, even more sensitive to the word "divorce," immediately stood and tried to slip away.

Xiao Jinsheng quickly reached out to grab his wrist, pulling him back onto the sofa. "I asked Caicai; contracts can be stacked."

"The Guardian Contract we’ve signed belongs to the Interstellar World, which doesn’t conflict with the Contractual Totems from the Mist Continent."

"Besides..." When it came to the terminal binding, Xiao Jinsheng’s trust in the terminal was now below zero. She continued, "We’ll eventually need to find substitutes for everything the Star Map represents. The terminal binding in the Star Map currently symbolizes marriage. Are you really okay with that?"

"You should’ve said earlier that contracts could stack," Su Ye remarked, being the first to sit beside Xiao Jinsheng and extend his hand to her. "Alright, let me be the first to sign the Guardian Contract."

[The first to sign should’ve been me.]

Chen Yunji’s aggrieved voice echoed in Xiao Jinsheng’s mind.

Her gaze flickered toward Chen Yunji, who sat dazed in a distant corner, his expression complicated.

[If contracts can stack, then it wouldn’t be unreasonable for me to have Xiao Jinsheng sign a few Master-Servant Contracts, Inheritance Contracts, Soul Contracts, and all kinds of other crazy contracts, right?]

Xuan Jiu’s expectant voice chimed in.

Xiao Jinsheng nearly burst out laughing.

Abstract Brother, are you here to stock up on contracts?

Suppressing her amusement, Xiao Jinsheng shifted her focus back to Su Ye.

She was already quite familiar with the process of signing a Guardian Contract.

Moreover, being in the Realm now meant they had access to all three forms of energy from the Realm’s worlds.

In an instant, the connection between Xiao Jinsheng and Su Ye deepened with an additional thread.

"See? I told you contracts could stack," Xiao Jinsheng said with a grin.

Su Ye, now sensing an added bond with her, smiled with his golden eyes twinkling. "Not bad."

Su Ye: [It’d be better if she’d stop signing with the others.]

Already prepared for this kind of thought, Xiao Jinsheng wasn’t surprised in the least.

Maintaining her calm demeanor, she turned to the remaining men. "So, who else wants to sign a Guardian Contract?"

Before anyone could respond, a hand in white gauze reached out to Xiao Jinsheng.

Shi Xie chuckled. "Whatever contract the Female Master wants to sign, I’m happy with it."

"As long as it isn’t divorce," Shi Xie added.

"Divorce? What nonsense," Xiao Jinsheng murmured with exasperation.

The divorce drama was from six months ago.

Besides, back then, Shi Xie hadn’t even joined the family yet.

If anyone knew about divorces, it would be Yu Yunxiao and Li, who had more experience in that arena.

As she signed the Guardian Contract with Shi Xie, Xiao Jinsheng felt a surge of excitement inside.

Although Shi Xie’s thoughts were easier to guess compared to Que Zelian or Huaiqing’s, Shi Xie often masked his true feelings.

Xiao Jinsheng was curious to hear his innermost thoughts through the Guardian Contract.

Once the Guardian Contract took effect, Xiao Jinsheng eagerly tried to listen in on Shi Xie’s mind, but she heard nothing at all.

Perplexed, she looked at Shi Xie, only to meet his downward gaze. "What’s wrong, Female Master?" he asked.

"Oh, nothing. Just letting you know the Guardian Contract has been finalized." These days, Xiao Jinsheng had no trouble handling a slew of men unless a dramatic scene unfolded.

"I can feel it," Shi Xie responded, placing his hand over his chest.

There, where his Contractual Totem should be glowing.

But now he could sense, in its place, an even stronger, unseeable force connecting him with Xiao Jinsheng.

[This time, even if there’s another time reversal, this contract won’t fade away, right?]

Xiao Jinsheng froze at his words.

Her thoughts drifted to the first Contractual Totem she and Shi Xie had signed, technically back when they encountered zombies in the Mist West.

Time had reversed by seven hours, and at nineteen years old, she had signed another contract with the sixteen-year-old Shi Xie.

But when the timeline returned to normal, their encounter and reunion didn’t restore the glow of the Contractual Totems on either’s body.

Evidently, seven years ago, Shi Xie had watched as that totem faded completely when she left.

A pang of bitterness rose in Xiao Jinsheng’s chest.

She realized Shi Xie had waited for her for seven years without any binding contract to guarantee her return.

"Little Evil," Xiao Jinsheng called, her voice thick with emotion. She reached out to grasp Shi Xie’s hand.

Shi Xie entwined his fingers with hers, but their interlocked hands were abruptly pried apart by an intruder.
