Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands -
Chapter 107 Kind Stranger
Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Kind Stranger
System: [Let me tell you, this competition—ranking rewards are useless. You’d be better off placing your expectations on the Flower of Hope.]
System: [I’ve discovered that the Flower of Hope is a treasure found by the Terminal in the depths of the Mist. The people of the Mist Continent can awaken superpowers because of the Flower of Hope’s energy.]
System: [Rely on mountains, they collapse; rely on people, they scatter. There will always be a time when cheats fail you. Only something like superpowers that enhance your own strength, controlled by you, can be fully trusted.]
System: [You’d better pray that you can obtain the Flower of Hope and awaken a useful superpower.]
System: [The superpowers awakened by the Flower of Hope can be enhanced just like Beastmen absorb Star Stones, though improving spiritual power relies on Beast Husbands.]
The system has calculated that after this competition ends, the females of the Mist Continent will awaken a second superpower with the help of the Flower of Hope, giving their strength a significant boost.
Under the system’s reminder, Bai Yan decisively changed her thoughts.
Since first place had already been taken by Xiao Jinsheng,
she decided to gather more resources during the competition and exchange them for higher points to trade for more Star Stones.
Enhancing female spiritual power relies on Beast Husbands.
But the second superpower awakened by the Flower of Hope can be fully enhanced using Star Stones.
If she could awaken an attack superpower, she wouldn’t be as helpless due to a lack of force when doing things in secret behind Jin Ao and the others in the future.
Xiao Jinsheng had already secured first place, so for now, Bai Yan prioritized completing her own competition tasks.
Bai Yan saw no need to continue following Xiao Jinsheng and directly retreated with her Beast Husbands to rest in her space.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jinsheng had heard everything from both the system and Bai Yan.
Initially, she had been worried that the Flower of Hope given by the Terminal might harm her.
But after listening to the system’s explanation provided by Bai Yan, she felt reassured and ready to use the Flower of Hope without concern.
This time, the resources Xiao Jinsheng and her team found had an overall value of 250,000 points.
The Terminal’s rules mentioned that the maximum value for hidden resources was one million points.
But one Elemental Stone was worth ten million points, according to the Terminal.
Clearly, hidden resources and special hidden resources are different.
The resource points and Elemental Stone combined totaled 10,250,000 points.
According to the Terminal’s Star Stone exchange rule, only uniform Six Star Star Stones could be exchanged.
Each Six Star Star Stone cost 1,000 points.
Xiao Jinsheng exchanged 10,250 Six Star Star Stones and stored them all in her space.
With the competition already concluded for Xiao Jinsheng—first place secured, the Flower of Hope obtained, and twelve Elemental Stones granted through a wish to the Terminal—
and with the Terminal not restricting those who had already finished the competition from using space-related superpowers,
she figured staying on Cloud Island would only risk running into the bothersome Bai Yan.
Instead, it was better to take advantage of the quiet period in Mist East, where there were no nosy neighbors, and hurry back home to absorb the Flower of Hope to awaken a second superpower.
The Beast Husbands had no objections to this suggestion.
Only Chen Yunji glanced with concern in the direction of the Snow Peak.
Huaiqing noticed this and reminded him, "Leaving here would be good for you."
Huaiqing recalled his own premonition, in which Chen Yunji met his end at the Snow Cliff Ice Sea.
If Chen Yunji could follow them to Mist East, far away from the place of death seen in the prophecy, perhaps the disastrous fate could be changed.
"Do you need to say goodbye to him?" Xiao Jinsheng asked Chen Yunji.
After all, Chen Yunji and Xuan Jiu had spent two years trying to kill each other, forming a bond of life and death.
One was leaving; a farewell seemed necessary.
With fewer than ten people in her group departing, the cruise ship docked in the Northern Territory certainly wouldn’t set sail just for them.
So Xiao Jinsheng was planning to borrow Li’s superpower to return to Mist East.
Once they left, it would be a year before they could return.
"No need." Chen Yunji replied coolly: "If I go back now, I’ll only expose him."
Using puppets, Xuan Jiu had disguised himself to appear as Chen Yunji at the Snow Peak to avoid detection by the Terminal.
But if Chen Yunji suddenly showed up at the Snow Peak—revealing there were two Chen Yunjis—the Terminal, despite its non-human thought process, would still realize something was amiss.
While it had taken them nearly a month to get to Cloud Island, the trip back to Mist East would only take two minutes.
All the other Beast Husbands were taken into Xiao Jinsheng’s space, leaving only Xiao Jinsheng with Li and Chen Yunji, who couldn’t enter the space.
"Can you handle two teleportations?" Xiao Jinsheng asked Li worriedly.
Given the distance between Cloud Island and Mist East, she was concerned about whether Li’s superpower could sustain the effort.
"A piece of cake." Li lightly pinched her cheek and smiled.
If the Terminal hadn’t initially imposed restrictions on space-related superpowers,
he could have simply teleported them to Cloud Island from the start, sparing Xiao Jinsheng the hardship of traveling.
"Just one teleportation is enough," Chen Yunji interjected suddenly.
Hearing this, both Xiao Jinsheng and Li turned their gazes toward him.
Chen Yunji explained, "Using your superpower domain, if you open two teleportation points in the interface, I can travel between domains without needing you to come back and fetch me."
"You can do that now?" Xiao Jinsheng exclaimed in surprise.
"Elemental superpowers work like that," Chen Yunji said. "Every superpower contains elements; they differ only in strength and density."
The stronger the elements, the stronger he became.
Since Chen Yunji didn’t require her to travel back and forth to take him to Mist East, Li was more than happy to save effort.
Li activated his domain, linking a landing point from Cloud Island to Mist East, and carried Xiao Jinsheng across realms.
Following closely, Chen Yunji concealed himself within the element’s disguise, bypassing domain detection.
In a flash, Xiao Jinsheng nestled in Li’s embrace, already back in her courtyard.
The Northern Domain encompassed territories like the Northern Territory, Silent Valley, and Cloud Island.
Temperatures hovered around minus sixty or seventy degrees Celsius, requiring Xiao Jinsheng to layer herself in thick clothing both inside and out.
But the current season was just the start of August.
As the chill from Cloud Island dispersed, the scorching heat from Mist East began pressing her to remove her outer layers.
"Don’t take off too much—switching between cold and hot can easily make you sick." Li caught her jacket and, noticing she had only two layers left, quickly pressed down on her blouse to stop her from shedding more.
"I’ll head back to my room now." Xiao Jinsheng released several other Beast Husbands from her space, instructing Huaiqing to arrange accommodations for Chen Yunji, then dashed upstairs.
Having been away from home for more than a month, dust had settled on the furniture.
All seven Beast Husbands busied themselves cleaning the house.
Certainly, Chen Yunji’s room wouldn’t be near Xiao Jinsheng’s.
So he ended up in the furthest room from her, which had initially belonged to Mo Jiao, then briefly served as Shi Xie’s abode.
Back in her room, Xiao Jinsheng originally intended to use the bathroom attached to it.
But with furniture left unused for over a month, dust had inevitably gathered.
In no mood to clean herself right now, she decided to have the seven men tidy up her room later and simply entered her space for a bath instead.
After stepping out of her space in a thin dress, Xiao Jinsheng, on her way downstairs, suddenly sensed a pair of eyes watching her from behind.
She quickly pulled out a pistol, leaned against the wall, and cautiously scanned her empty bedroom, all while using Star Map to contact Que Zelian and the others.
The enhancement of spiritual power sharpened her five senses.
Xiao Jinsheng felt the gaze fixed on her was coming from under her bed.
She warily looked beneath the bed and saw a furry head poking out: "Kind traveler, I’ve come to find you."
