Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands
Chapter 132: Bait Chen Yunji

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Bait Chen Yunji

"The insect brain altered over a decade of your memories, and you’re not seeking revenge?" Caicai inquired.

Xiao Jinsheng responded solemnly, "Waiting for the right opportunity. Bai Yan reaches One Star spiritual power, and it’s like she has an extra life. We didn’t fully understand the system, which is the insect brain’s nature, so we didn’t dare act rashly before."

When it comes to revenge, the most taboo thing is leaving loose ends that might create hidden dangers for the future.

"The disgusting part about the insect brain is that it can parasitize the human brain," Caicai explained. "Even in the interstellar world, there are people who’ve fallen victim to the insect brain, manipulated and hidden within the crowd."

"To deal with Bai Yan and the insect brain without fail, shouldn’t we first think of a way to separate Bai Yan from the insect brain?" Xiao Jinsheng suggested.

"Don’t even say it; you really shouldn’t say it!" Caicai, visibly excited, spread its wings and flew across to Xiao Jinsheng. "The Cannibal Flower smuggled a lot of interstellar world weaponry, and among them are specialized agents against the insect clan."

"If it carries insect attractants, we might be able to trick the insect brain out of Bai Yan’s body."

"Let me return to the space and ask around." Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinsheng’s eyes lit up.

The Cannibal Flower couldn’t be placed into the space ring, but as a plant, it could still be accommodated within her space.

At this moment, the Cannibal Flower was rooted near Crescent Moon Lake, leisurely swaying its head. Beside it, a retro-style record player was playing sentimental music.

"Little Flower!" As soon as Xiao Jinsheng entered the space, she dashed toward the Cannibal Flower.

The Cannibal Flower, seeing Xiao Jinsheng, immediately raised two large green leaves, making a heart shape to greet her.

Xiao Jinsheng stood still where she was, raising her hands above her head to return the heart gesture.

Receiving Xiao Jinsheng’s response, the Cannibal Flower became even more excited, dancing around her.

Its large mouth opened wide and began pulling out items for her.

Everything ranged from interstellar world-produced household appliances to weaponry.

"Little Flower, do you have insecticide? Actually, I mean insect attractants." Xiao Jinsheng, thinking the Cannibal Flower should be well-informed about the interstellar world, directly sought assistance. "I’ve encountered an insect brain and want to exchange for some insect attractant."

Insects!?

The Cannibal Flower became alarmed.

Its large leaves flailed wildly in an instant, agitated.

As a plant, it utterly detested insects!

Upon hearing Xiao Jinsheng’s intention to deal with the insect brain,

The Cannibal Flower opened its mouth wide and began spewing out various agents uncontrollably.

From insecticide to exterminators, insect attractants to sterilants—even insect clan destroyers—the Cannibal Flower seemed to have it all.

Xiao Jinsheng, delighted, first fed the Cannibal Flower some mutated pork as thanks, then selected one bottle of each type of agent to bring out of the space for Caicai to identify.

"This Cannibal Flower really must’ve looted Lou Yan Zhi’s entire fortune," Caicai exclaimed, stunned by the sight of the countless varieties of agents Xiao Jinsheng had dragged out—enough to fill three boxes.

"Lou Yan Zhi’s what?" Xiao Jinsheng questioned, having overheard Caicai’s muttered comment.

"I said Lou Yan Zhi is really generous," Caicai quickly tried to cover up.

Caicai soon identified a blue-colored agent and nodded affirmatively, "This is the one. It releases a scent the insect brain abhors the most, disrupting its thoughts."

"This kind is effective only on the insect clan, harmless to humans."

"If we spray it on Bai Yan, it will force the insect brain out."

"I’ll go do it," Li said, reaching out to grab the agent.

For Bai Yan, the one who altered Xiao Jinsheng’s memories, Li had been itching for revenge.

Moreover, his Space Element superpower allowed him to sneak in undetected and strike.

"Separating Bai Yan from her Beast Husbands would be preferable," Que Zelian reminded.

As Beast Husbands themselves, if it came down to a real fight, the outcome between both sides would be hard to predict.

Wasting energy on Bai Yan’s Beast Husbands would undoubtedly be a poor strategy.

This time, their goal was to deal with the insect brain first. If Bai Yan’s Beast Husbands obstructed them, it could create chaos, giving the insect brain a chance to escape.

"Actually, Bai Yan will come to us on her own," Xiao Jinsheng noted.

Upon hearing this, the seven Beast Husbands and Chen Yunji all turned to glance at Xiao Jinsheng.

Currently, within Li’s domain, Xiao Jinsheng spoke freely without hesitation.

She turned to Chen Yunji and shared the conversation she overheard between Bai Yan and the insect brain not long ago.

Learning that Bai Yan’s next target was him, and she even intended to drug him to forcibly bind him through a contractual totem, Chen Yunji was puzzled: "I’m a dying man; what does she want from me?"

"Obviously, to enhance her strength," Xiao Jinsheng replied.

"But even so, forcing me to comply with her will—just because of the contractual totem—I wouldn’t obey her commands." Chen Yunji spoke deeply.

He’d even kill her.

Fond of solitude, he rarely interacted with others.

The people he’d connected with in his lifetime could easily be counted on two hands.

Among them was Xuan Jiu, who remained trapped at the Cloud Island Snow Peak.

And Xiao Jinsheng’s family took up eight of those precious connections.

So upon learning Bai Yan’s plan to make him her target and even use drugs to confuse him into forming a contractual totem with her, Chen Yunji felt a surge of disgust and exuded a cold, oppressive aura.

Seeing Chen Yunji’s reaction, Xiao Jinsheng held back her initial plan.

Her initial thought was that Bai Yan’s next target being Chen Yunji meant she’d naturally avoid Jin Ao and the others.

They could completely use Chen Yunji as bait, and when Bai Yan approached, employ the insect attractant to force the insect brain out.

But seeing that Chen Yunji was already so resistant upon hearing Bai Yan and the insect brain’s plan, Xiao Jinsheng dismissed the idea.

"What’s wrong? You seem a bit upset," Chen Yunji faced Xiao Jinsheng and asked out of curiosity.

Although his eyes couldn’t see, this enhanced his sensory awareness.

Especially when facing someone like Xiao Jinsheng, who hardly concealed her emotions.

"Nothing, just wanted to remind you to stick with us during this period and avoid being alone," Xiao Jinsheng smiled as she cautioned.

Chen Yunji, however, keenly detected the irritation in her tone and ventured: "Do you have another plan to deal with Bai Yan and the insect brain?"

"Lure them into a trap, invite them into the snare," Chen Yunji’s icy voice probed. "Since I’m her target, I’m naturally the best bait."

"That’s true, but if you’re against it, we can always consider other..." Xiao Jinsheng began explaining.

"I’m willing." Chen Yunji’s reply came crisply.

"Hmm? Are you sure?" Xiao Jinsheng looked at him in surprise.

Chen Yunji gently nodded, "Before confronting the Terminal, the bigger threat, we need to first clear out the smaller trouble."

With Chen Yunji volunteering as bait, Xiao Jinsheng had no objections.

She then gathered everyone and accompanied Caicai to learn how to use interstellar world weapons against the insect clan.

After all preparations were completed, Xiao Jinsheng led the group back to the task area in the afternoon to continue farming.

Meanwhile, Chen Yunji followed the plan, diligently planting saplings, moving farther and farther into isolation.

Xiao Jinsheng sat under a parasol, seemingly idle but continuously watching Bai Yan’s movements.

To her surprise, Bai Yan’s eight Beast Husbands were busy planting trees, while Bai Yan herself, unlike her morning focus on them, neither sneaked off nor made any moves toward Chen Yunji.

Instead, Bai Yan leisurely lay on a deck chair by herself, fully equipped with food and drinks.

"Keep calm, stay patient," Xiao Jinsheng inwardly reminded herself.

Fishing, after all.

Requires patience.

Especially when you’re fishing for a cunning catch like Bai Yan.
