Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands
Chapter 147: The Lord Has Not Been Abandoned?

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: The Lord Has Not Been Abandoned?

Bai Yan’s target was Chen Yunji.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jinsheng’s goal was to expel the Insect Brain from Bai Yan’s body.

Since this was like fishing, Bai Yan needed an opportunity to approach her.

So she decided that planting trees could wait until Bai Yan was around to keep busy.

"How about we head to the Mist West to test against the Fog Corpses today?" Xiao Jinsheng suggested.

At this time in the Mist Continent, most people were still competing in the Northern Domain and hadn’t returned yet.

Meanwhile, Bai Yan, who likely encountered an accident during the time rewind, also wouldn’t be leaving.

This was the perfect opportunity to take her Beast Husband for a stroll in the Mist West.

"Why don’t we go to the Demon Territory instead?" Li suggested with a smile. "It’s deep within the Mist West, with fewer people but plenty of Fog Corpses."

"Sure, sure." Xiao Jinsheng nodded eagerly.

"You’re basically taking your Female Master and her Beast Husband back to visit your family home, huh?" Caicai glanced at Li and summed up.

Li’s crimson eyes glared at Caicai in silence.

He wanted to retort.

But upon realizing it was just a greenish-blue seaweed, the urge instantly vanished.

Arguing with seaweed would only make him look crazy.

They set off immediately.

This time, the main husband responsible for transportation took charge of the conversation.

There was no Star Map task issued, nor were there anti-poison mist wristbands.

The Mermaid Pearls from the deep sea and the Blood Demon Gemstones from the Demon Territory—

Both items could counteract the poisonous fog in the Mist West.

Thankfully, Li had stockpiled a generous amount of Blood Demon Gemstones before, enough to supply the entire group.

Shi Xie had shed quite a few pearls before and meticulously collected them all, storing them in Xiao Jinsheng’s Space.

That’s why Xiao Jinsheng sent the other six Beast Husbands into her Space, while Li carried her directly into the Demon Territory via spatial traversal.

As for Chen Yunji, with his unique superpower, he would catch up whenever Li opened a teleportation portal.

Caicai, being a system, didn’t require attention.

After all, if a system couldn’t even teleport itself, that would be downright humiliating.

This was Xiao Jinsheng’s second visit to the Demon Territory, yet it felt like a fresh experience.

"Eek?" A mischievous Little Demon peeked its head out, exclaiming in surprise and delight, "It’s the Madam! The Lord has brought the Madam back!"

"Where? Where?"

"The Madam has returned?"

"Does that mean the Lord wasn’t abandoned?"

"Don’t step on my head! Let me see!"

A host of curious Little Demons jumped onto the window ledges, their tiny silhouettes clinging to the antique frames.

"Madam, Lord." An old butler emerged through a wall, his smile as kind as ever, "Welcome home, both of you."

"Old Ber, we’ll trouble you to prepare eight rooms," Li said with a chuckle.

"Guests have arrived?" The old man seemed delighted, nodding with a smile, "Rest assured, Lord, I’ll arrange everything."

The lonely castle finally seemed to come to life.

"Alright, take care of the arrangements. The best possible setup for the rooms." Li coughed lightly, subtly hinting.

The old butler froze for a moment before laughing silently and nodding, "Leave it to me, Lord."

Xiao Jinsheng greeted the old man, then released the other six Beast Husbands from her Space.

The old butler glanced at them with a smile, then shifted his gaze to Chen Yunji, who had arrived via the teleportation portal—

And also to the floating, odd-looking seaweed with crayon-drawn facial features and the ability to speak.

Soon enough, he understood the relationship between these people, Xiao Jinsheng, and Li.

Following Li’s instructions, he swiftly arranged the rooms.

However, Xiao Jinsheng and the others were in a hurry to head out.

As they walked out of the Demon Castle alongside Li, Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t help but notice the Little Demons poking their heads out from the walls, sneaking peeks at her.

She tugged on Li’s sleeve and curiously asked, "The apocalypse has been going for eighty years, and the Terminal appeared seventy years ago."

"But you mentioned earlier that the Little Demons are over a hundred years old."

"Did the Demon Territory exist on the Mist Continent before the apocalypse?"

"Not exactly." Li laughed as he explained, "I awakened my Domain Superpower and summoned the Demons from the depths of the domain."

"The Demon Territory was built over these years because of them."

Demons had never appeared on the Mist Continent before.

They were also immune to the poisonous fog in the Mist West.

For these reasons, Li chose to establish the Demon Territory in the Mist West, far from human settlements.

This location, at the heart of danger, not only helped him grow stronger but also build his own power.

It also allowed him to gain the strength he needed sooner to rescue Xiao Jinsheng from the Terminal Shelter.

But who would have thought the Terminal would pair Xiao Jinsheng with husbands at such lightning speed?

Females began matching Beast Husbands at eighteen years old, but the Terminal was strict about genetic compatibility.

Beastmen with poor-quality genetics weren’t even considered for pairing with females by the Terminal.

Those Beastmen either lacked the talent or strength to survive independently—

Or had questionable character, easily devolving into Fallen Beastmen.

As a result, most females didn’t successfully match enough Beast Husbands until after twenty.

Bai Yan, for example, was twenty-one this year. She only completed her set of six Beast Husbands last year at twenty.

The Terminal only paired females once, so it waited until the numbers added up.

That’s why Li never anticipated that Xiao Jinsheng, at only nineteen, would already have five Beast Husbands assigned by the Terminal.

Learning about the origins of the century-old miniature demons sparked Xiao Jinsheng’s curiosity about Li’s Domain Superpower.

Just then, Chen Yunji spoke up, "Fog Corpse approaching."

"Where?" Xiao Jinsheng scanned the surroundings.

They had left the Demon Castle but were still within the Demon Territory.

"Five kilometers away," Chen Yunji replied. "A Nine-Star Fog Corpse."

"Five kilometers away? You’ve got to be kidding me." Yu Yunxiao’s heightened vigilance instantly relaxed.

"An Eleven-Star Beastman, just sensing danger alone is already quite impressive," Su Ye marveled.

Looking at his own Seven-Star Superpower, he felt a strong urge to upgrade.

And he wasn’t alone in this desire.

The same sense of urgency to grow stronger was felt by Eight-Star Mo Jiao and Que Zelian, Seven-Star Yu Yunxiao, and Six-Star Huaiqing.

"Upgrade Superpowers if you want," Xiao Jinsheng noticed their thoughts, cautioning, "But remember, Ten Stars is the absolute maximum."

Anything beyond Ten Stars would be too difficult to control.

After all, their powers weren’t like hers—

She had the fortunate side effect of the Plundering Superpower.

If Xiao Jinsheng wanted to lower her Spiritual Power Level, she could simply use the Plundering Superpower more often.

Upgrading Spiritual Power? That was even easier.

This mission was to find Fog Corpses.

So, Xiao Jinsheng walked through the Mist West forest with a swagger.

Wherever Fog Corpses appeared, they seemed to be magnetically drawn to Xiao Jinsheng as she approached.

There was no need to waste much effort—a group of Four-Star and Five-Star Fog Corpses was already converging around her.

After seeing so many Fog Corpses, Xiao Jinsheng was long desensitized to their grotesque, bloody, and horrifying visages.

Standing her ground, motionless, she observed the Fog Corpse group, which was still three hundred meters away.

She urgently called out to Caicai, "Quick, check if they have Star Stones!"

Caicai’s seaweed form twisted as it quickly gathered the results.

"Report: Among this group of Fog Corpses, there are 100 Four-Star and 97 and a half Five-Star ones."

"Half?" Xiao Jinsheng frowned in confusion. "A Fog Corpse can be... half?"
