Chapter 136: I Am Your Future Beast Husband

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: I Am Your Future Beast Husband

As Sha Qing spoke, he opened his mouth and chanted, the green ripples of water spreading outward in the air.

The boulder that concealed Xiao Jinsheng and Shi Xie shattered into fragments under the impact of the soundwaves.

"So you were hiding here, huh?" Sha Qing sneered sinisterly. Noticing Xiao Jinsheng being shielded behind Shi Xie, his expression turned lewd. "What a delightful surprise."

"A female." Another gray-haired man’s gaze turned greedy as he stared intently at Xiao Jinsheng from behind Shi Xie. "Kid, hand over that female and we might just let you live."

"Get lost!" Shi Xie roared furiously, frost spreading from his hands towards the two men.

With a casual wave, the gray-haired man summoned a massive wave that drenched Xiao Jinsheng and Shi Xie to the bone.

Sha Qing laughed mockingly. "A measly Three Star nobody, yet dreaming of playing hero."

"And you’re just an 8-Star. What’s there to brag about?" Xiao Jinsheng, tossing her wet hair aside, retorted sharply, "Trash that comes ashore is still trash."

"I’ll hold them off. You run." Shi Xie yanked Xiao Jinsheng, who was ready to charge forward, back.

"Run? Why run? Let’s beat them up!" Xiao Jinsheng snarled.

"They’re Stray Beasts," Shi Xie reminded her grimly.

Though he loathed to admit it, his current strength, limited to a Three Star superpower, was no match for Sha Qing and the gray-haired man.

Sha Qing and the gray-haired man had come ashore to kill him.

Shi Xie could not allow an innocent like Xiao Jinsheng to be dragged into this.

"Stray Beasts?" Xiao Jinsheng’s curious eyes fell on Sha Qing and the gray-haired man.

She had long heard rumors of Stray Beasts existing on the Mist Continent.

But she’d never had the chance to see them until now.

Now that she had, Xiao Jinsheng curled her lips into a cold smile. Trying to appear imposing, she mimicked a movie character and clenched her fist confidently.

Only for not a single bone-cracking sound to come out.

"Hahaha." Sha Qing laughed loudly, his mockery unrestrained.

"Little female, come to your big brother." The gray-haired man crooked his finger towards Xiao Jinsheng, smirking. "The Mist West is dangerous; come here, big brother will protect you."

Shi Xie’s face darkened with anger. Just as he summoned his superpower to charge at the gray-haired man, he realized his feet had been frozen solid by frost.

"You and your ancestors can take your nonsense elsewhere!" With a wave of her hand, Xiao Jinsheng unleashed an unrelenting frost.

The overwhelming power of a Ten Star superpower user crushed the two men into a sandpit on the spot.

Sha Qing opened his mouth, intending to launch a soundwave counterattack, but was instantly silenced by Xiao Jinsheng, who appeared out of thin air and sliced at his neck with her blade.

Head and body parted. Xiao Jinsheng, holding the blood-stained blade, tilted the gray-haired man’s chin mockingly. "Scream."

"Why don’t you keep screaming?" The sharp edge of her blade traced a thin, bleeding line across the gray-haired man’s throat.

His legs were frozen in place, and all his attempts to resist with superpower energy were suppressed by frost.

It was only then that the gray-haired man realized how terrifyingly strong this female was.

Panic-stricken, he begged for mercy. "Spare me, my lady! I was wrong, truly! I was only joking, and I swear I’ll never do it again."

"Oh, really?" Xiao Jinsheng sneered. "Your apology’s quite... enthusiastic."

"He’s a Stray Beast! Don’t trust him!" Shi Xie exclaimed urgently.

But Xiao Jinsheng had already pulled her blade away from the gray-haired man’s neck.

Just as the gray-haired man exhaled in relief, Xiao Jinsheng handed the blade to Shi Xie.

She smiled. "Equal shares. You take one, I’ll take one."

The gray-haired man’s face filled with terror. He trembled and stammered more pleas, but Shi Xie had already taken the blade and, without hesitation, beheaded him.

Blood seeped onto the icy surface, only for Xiao Jinsheng to command a wave to wash the bodies away.

The frost dispersed, leaving behind nothing more than damp sand, indistinguishable from any ordinary shoreline.

"So, what do you think? Impressive, huh?" Xiao Jinsheng raised her chin slightly, gazing at Shi Xie with a smug expression.

Shi Xie, still in a daze, nodded. He hadn’t yet fully processed the reality of Xiao Jinsheng’s true strength.

Curious, he asked, "What’s your superpower level?"

"Ten Stars." Xiao Jinsheng struggled to suppress her laughter.

At this moment, basking in Shi Xie’s astonished and admiring gaze, she had to admit she was thoroughly enjoying herself.

"Amazing." Shi Xie exclaimed in awe. Looking down at his hands, which also controlled ice and water, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of yearning.

If his power were as strong as Xiao Jinsheng’s had been just now, he wouldn’t be stranded on this beach, hunted.

Nor would he lack the strength to protect Xiao Jinsheng when provoked by the likes of that gray-haired man.

"Alright, enough teasing." Xiao Jinsheng chuckled and was about to explain. "My strength is because..."

"Because?" Shi Xie looked at her, puzzled, as her lips abruptly silenced.

"It’s because..." Xiao Jinsheng tried once more but found herself unable to mention the future’s Shi Xie no matter how hard she pushed.

Could it be that, due to her return to the past—a consequence of time’s reversal—there were restrictions preventing her from disclosing information about the future to people of this timeline?

Although it was just a conjecture, Xiao Jinsheng felt certain this was the truth.

Since she couldn’t say, she decided not to dwell on it.

Switching tactics, she said, "Your superpower level is still low now. If you work hard to increase your level, someday you’ll be just as powerful as me––even stronger."

"Because my ice and water abilities were also something I learned from someone else."

"Your teacher?" Shi Xie asked, curious.

At his words, Xiao Jinsheng smiled mysteriously. "My Beast Husband."

Shi Xie’s smile froze instantly upon hearing this.

Lowering his head in disappointment, he glared at Xiao Jinsheng, his eyes red with frustration. "You already have a Beast Husband, so why did you tell me I’m... I’m your future Beast Husband!"

"I didn’t lie," Xiao Jinsheng replied, helplessly spreading her hands.

"Liar!" Shi Xie bellowed, summoning a wave ashore before diving back into the ocean.

"Hey, don’t go!" Xiao Jinsheng called out from the shore, but the only response she received was the sound of rising tides.

The sun had already set, replaced by the moon hanging high in a sparkling night sky.

Xiao Jinsheng stood alone by the shore, her eyes contemplative.

She had only wanted to tease the younger Shi Xie upon seeing him.

Who would’ve thought that, at this age, Shi Xie was so easily upset?

The adult Shi Xie was undeniably clingy as a sticky rice ball.

But this teenage Shi Xie, when infuriated, simply jumped into the sea and vanished.

Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t even tell what season the Mist Continent was in now that she was here.

But the sea breeze at night carried a distinct chill.

And she had been asleep before coming here.

Which meant she was barefoot on sandy ground, clad only in a moon-white silk slip dress.

"I can’t just ignore this. I need to figure out why I’m here," Xiao Jinsheng sighed.

It wasn’t possible for her to fall asleep and randomly end up seven years back in time.

And it wasn’t feasible for her to remain in this world forever.

As Xiao Jinsheng walked along the shoreline, brainstorming solutions, she noticed the sound of an engine roaring in the distance.

One listen and she recognized it as the noise of a motorbike.

Having just encountered the Stray Beasts, Sha Qing and the gray-haired man, Xiao Jinsheng was in no mood to invite more trouble. She quickly sought a hiding spot.

But considering the incoming motorbike, hiding on land might not guarantee safety.

As waves surged ashore, erasing the footprints she’d left on the sand, Xiao Jinsheng decisively dove into the water.

At that moment, she felt extraordinary relief that she had been with Shi Xie the previous evening.

Thanks to that, her Beastman Mermaid traits remained intact. The moment she submerged underwater, her legs transformed into a dazzling, icy-blue tail, granting her freedom to swim effortlessly in the sea.

"System, didn’t you say Shi Xie would be here? Where is he?" Bai Yan, having stopped her motorbike, scoured the area displayed on the map.

There wasn’t a trace of a person—or even a fish—in sight.

Hidden beneath the surface, Xiao Jinsheng immediately adjusted her presence upon hearing the familiar voice above.

So that’s why she’d returned to seven years ago while asleep.

It was all Bai Yan and her Insect Brain’s doing.

"You’re late! It was just a 15-kilometer trip. Who told you to go so slow?" Insect Brain snapped impatiently.

"So what now? I returned to seven years ago specifically to sign a Contractual Totem with him—this can’t just be for nothing!"

Bai Yan fumed. "Recalculate Shi Xie’s position for me."
