Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 219 They Won’t Call You Sister

Que Zelian’s hand tightened around the teacup, but when he looked back at Xiao Jinsheng, there was a gentle smile in his eyes.

Huaiqing lowered his gaze, his glasses completely concealing his reactions.

Li’s eyes were fixed on Xiao Jinsheng and Xuan Jiu’s clasped hands. He quickly walked over and separated the two.

He pulled Xiao Jinsheng into his embrace and carried her upstairs.

"Li, you’re angry." When Li gently placed her on the sofa after carrying her back to the bedroom, Xiao Jinsheng nervously grabbed onto his collar.

Li looked down at her hand, which was tightly clutching him, and wrapped her hand with his palm, smiling as he said, "I’m a bit angry."

"After all, I’m quite selfish. When I love someone, I want to have all of her."

"And I want her attention to always be on me alone."

Li sat on the sofa and simply pulled Xiao Jinsheng onto his lap.

He buried his head against her shoulder. Instead of demon horns, a pair of dark, long, and pointed furry beast ears emerged from his black hair.

"It seems you really like furry things," Li said with a smile, his red eyes looking at her.

At the same time, he guided her hand to his ear. "Feel it, do you like the texture?"

Seeing Xiao Jinsheng looking at him without speaking, Li sighed, saying, "I didn’t separate you and Xuan Jiu out of jealousy."

"It’s because I have something to talk to you about."

"I think Que Zelian and Huaiqing are acting strange."

"They seem to be constantly provoking you, guiding your emotions, making you do reckless things in anger."

"I know," Xiao Jinsheng mumbled.

"It seems I noticed quite late," Li raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Not really late, I just realized it myself too," Xiao Jinsheng explained.

She wasn’t surprised that Li noticed the unusual behavior of Que Zelian and Huaiqing.

Because she had already heard it all from Li’s thoughts when he carried her upstairs.

Even now, she could still hear Li’s self-talk.

He was quite chatty.

Rivaling Xuan Jiu in that aspect.

Li: [I admit I’m selfish, but Mist Continent is perilous, and now we have the Insect Clan]

Li: [Chen Yunji joining? Fine, since he’s a Beastification Silver Dragon, his talent surpasses most Beastmen, and his strength is high, guaranteeing her safety]

Li: [Xuan Jiu joining? Crazy, no threat]

Xiao Jinsheng didn’t expect that after half a year of reunion, Li had already convinced himself.

No matter what he thought in his heart, he was straightforward with Xiao Jinsheng.

"I don’t oppose you letting other Beastmen join this family, as long as you like them."

"Of course, I’ll feel uneasy and throw little tantrums," Li said, rubbing his head against her neck. "But I don’t want to fight with you, I just want you to look at me again."

"No matter how many Beastmen join, you can’t forget your puppy!" Li emphasized seriously.

"I certainly won’t forget the puppy," Xiao Jinsheng said, gently tugging his two sleek and slightly chilly beast ears. "They feel nice, why not transform again next time."

"Limited edition," Li immediately retracted his beast ears, smiling. "Next time? Only when I’m the one you’re focusing on."

"And also..." Li narrowed his red eyes, moving close to Xiao Jinsheng and asked with a dangerous tone, "Not only Que Zelian and Huaiqing are acting strangely, but you’re also acting quite odd."

"I thought about it, your behavior changed after we signed the Guardian Contract."

"So the Guardian Contract isn’t just us being protectors, it must have its secrets, right?"

Li: [I knew this Guardian Contract was fishy]

Li: [That fake Aries won’t sign the Guardian Contract, he sees prophecies, definitely knew the contract’s issues beforehand]

Li’s questions and his inner suspicions made Xiao Jinsheng feel a bit guilty for a moment.

Her gaze wandered, looking elsewhere.

"Look at me," Li said, holding her face gently, realigning her vision. His beast ears appeared again among his hair.

"Tell the puppy, what secrets can’t be shared with it?" Li said, raising two fingers as if swearing. "The puppy promises not to spread it."

Xiao Jinsheng bent his ring finger up too. "Swearing requires three fingers."

"You really want to know?" Xiao Jinsheng dragged out her words.

Sure enough, she met Li’s expectant gaze.

"I can tell you, but..."

"I can’t just tell you for free," Xiao Jinsheng said, rubbing her thumb and index finger together, hinting at Li with her eyes.

"Crystal Core, Star Stone, pearls, gemstones?" Li asked, confused.

Then he complained, "But I’ve given all my wealth to you, now I have nothing on me."

It would take time for him to go out and gather more.

But the thought of being away would give others a chance.

Li didn’t want to be apart from Xiao Jinsheng at all.

He would cling to her if he must.

"Cough, cough, not that," Xiao Jinsheng said awkwardly.

Thinking about the men at home who entrusted her with all their valuable treasures.

Except for their weapons which weren’t really suitable, they were practically penniless.

Xiao Jinsheng wondered if she should give them some pocket money?

Although in their current situation, they wouldn’t need pocket money.

But their pockets couldn’t be completely empty either.

"Then what could possibly bribe you?" Li asked.

His eyes slowly changed as he spoke.

Pressing a smile, he leaned closer to Xiao Jinsheng, whispering by her ear, "Now that it’s cold, how about I warm your bed?"

"And call you sister while warming it, how about that?" Xiao Jinsheng laughed.

"So you just want me to call you sister," Li realized.

He placed a light kiss by her ear, warmth from his breath tickling her neck as he seductively called, "Sister~"

In an instant, Xiao Jinsheng felt a burst of happiness within her heart.

She coughed lightly, adjusting her expression. "That’s it? Do it two more times."

"No," Li refused, shaking his head. "It needs to come unexpectedly, saying it more would lose the impact."

"Knew it, you’re full of tricks," Xiao Jinsheng said, speechless, meeting Li’s challenging gaze.

Thinking about the unique aspect of the Guardian Contract.

She had also indulged in his mind reading for the past few days.

With the Insect Clan approaching, it was not a problem to reveal that the Guardian Contract allowed mind reading.

They originally needed to find a tool to replace Star Map for communication.

Although the Guardian Contract could not be strictly called a tool.

"Actually, by signing the Guardian Contract with me, I can hear your inner voices," Xiao Jinsheng answered.

Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly. "No wonder I felt you were behaving strangely, always predicting what we were going to say."

"You’re quite the secret keeper," Li said, gently pinching her nose before a thought occurred to him. "Since the Guardian Contract lets you hear our inner voices, what about the Unity Contract?"

"Wouldn’t it let us hear each other’s inner voices?" Li was surprised.

Because Xiao Jinsheng had been giving Huaiqing the cold shoulder, the more Li thought about it, the more it made sense.

"Yes, the Unity Contract allows mutual mind reading," Xiao Jinsheng nodded.

Li immediately protested.

He hugged Xiao Jinsheng and spoke in an aggrieved tone, "The puppy wants to hear too."

"Hear it, they all can hear," Xiao Jinsheng agreed quickly this time. "Just in time for internal conversations to replace Star Map communication."

"Huh?" Li sighed in disappointment, speaking gloomily. "They won’t call you sister though."
