Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands
Chapter 44: The Second Entry into Mist West

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: The Second Entry into Mist West

Under the dual comfort of dietary supplements and abdominal massages, this bout of period pain ended quickly.

Xiao Jinsheng lay back in bed, looking at the five people who showed no intention of leaving, and reminded them, "I’m fine now, why don’t you all go back and rest?"

Mo Jiao didn’t respond—it seemed like she’d already fallen asleep on the sofa.

"I’m not sleepy," Su Ye replied.

Que Zelian shook his head, "I don’t feel at ease, I’ll stay and keep watch."

Yu Yunxiao snorted haughtily and turned to leave the room.

Just when Xiao Jinsheng thought she’d managed to send one away, she saw Yu Yunxiao return, dragging his sofa from his room.

Yu Yunxiao pulled over a blanket and curled up directly on the sofa, answering with his actions.

Inspired by Yu Yunxiao’s behavior, the remaining three each went back to their rooms to fetch their sofas.

Xiao Jinsheng sat on her bed, looking at the circle of sofas gathered around it, feeling a bit awkward.

This scene... why does it feel so strange?

Forget it, no point overthinking—at least the bed was hers alone.

She initially thought having five men in the room would make it hard to sleep, but to her surprise, she slept well.

Shortly after closing her eyes, she drifted into slumber.

In the following days, due to Xiao Jinsheng’s period, she stayed home to recuperate.

As soon as her period ended, she eagerly went to accept a task, ready to head to Mist West and gather resources.

Leaving aside the other reasons, even for Yu Yunxiao’s sake, she needed him to quickly rise to 6 Stars to cure her cramps.

The Star Stones they had brought back from Mist West last time had already been absorbed by the six of them.

All Xiao Jinsheng gained was a slight improvement in her physical constitution.

The five men’s Star Levels remained unchanged; after absorbing the Star Stones, they were stuck at the threshold of advancing to the next One Star, waiting for this trip to Mist West to gather more resources.

For this Star Map Task, the terminal-issued wristband indeed had, as Xiao Jinsheng speculated, a durability of 30,000.

Among female Three Star ranks, others’ wristbands only had a durability of 3,000, while hers had a staggering 30,000.

This was beyond mere good luck.

But for now, unable to figure out the reason, she could only take it as is—at least the effects were all positive.

Initially, Xiao Jinsheng had looked forward to the trip to Mist West, right up until they arrived at the entrance and ran into another group of people.

Six men and one woman—and all of them were familiar faces.

"Jinsheng, you’re heading to Mist West today too?" Bai Yan greeted enthusiastically upon seeing Xiao Jinsheng.

Xiao Jinsheng contemplated turning around and driving back home.

But then she reminded herself that Mist West wasn’t Bai Yan’s private courtyard—why should she leave?

Plus, the matter of Bai Yan altering her memory was still unresolved, so interactions with Bai Yan were inevitable.

Still, Xiao Jinsheng wasn’t inclined to be friendly—she maintained her usual attitude, rolling her eyes and turning her head away, ignoring Bai Yan completely.

Bai Yan wasn’t offended by the cold reception.

In fact, seeing that Xiao Jinsheng’s spiritual power was still at Three Stars, her joy was barely contained.

She called out to her system: [I didn’t expect that during those days at home, she didn’t sleep with any of them.]

The system stayed quiet.

It didn’t understand why this was something she needed to discuss with it.

System: [Detected that her period has just ended.]

Hearing this, Bai Yan chuckled: [Doesn’t this prove even the heavens are on my side?]

If not for Xiao Jinsheng’s period, during those days she’d have gotten through one of those men per day—there’d be no chance left for Bai Yan.

The system remained silent again.

System: [If I recall correctly, menstrual cycles are fixed, aren’t they?]

[No, Xiao Jinsheng is in poor health; her menstruation is irregular,] Bai Yan replied.

System: [Whatever makes you happy.]

It thought to itself that Bai Yan was lucky to be saying this to it.

If Bai Yan had said this directly to Xiao Jinsheng, the two would’ve likely come to blows on the spot.

To Xiao Jinsheng, Bai Yan was as clingy as a leech.

Even though Bai Yan had Five Star spiritual power and her terminal-issued tasks would take her deeper into Mist West, she didn’t go to complete her own tasks. Instead, she stuck close to Xiao Jinsheng’s group.

Because of this large, seven-member leech, Xiao Jinsheng and her group couldn’t slay any Fog Corpses today after entering Mist West.

Fearing that Bai Yan might discover that the Fog Corpses chasing Xiao Jinsheng could yield Star Stones, she held onto the Fog Dispersing Lamp and dodged any Fog Corpses they encountered, changing direction before being noticed.

"A bunch of cowards, scared of even a couple of low-star Fog Corpses," Jin Ao sneered.

On their second day entering Mist West, night still fell early.

By now, it was only three in the afternoon, yet the sky was already darkening.

Coupled with Bai Yan’s persistent tailing, Xiao Jinsheng’s group hurried to find shelter.

They came across two villas built by the roadside, both unoccupied for the time being.

Though the villas were somewhat close to each other, Xiao Jinsheng wasn’t eager to choose them.

But within a five-kilometer radius, these were the only shelters they’d found. Continuing the search in the dark would only be more dangerous.

Xiao Jinsheng chose the villa on the left first, and Bai Yan immediately decided on the one to the right.

Before leading her group inside, Bai Yan smiled at Xiao Jinsheng and said, "Jinsheng, we must be fated—even on missions, we end up as neighbors."

"More like cursed," Xiao Jinsheng shot back.

Bai Yan objected, "Jinsheng, can’t you just stop being so mean to me?"

Xiao Jinsheng’s response was to shut the door in her face.

Watching the lights go on in the left villa, Bai Yan’s smile didn’t reach her eyes.

She summoned her system: [How much time is left on the memory modification cooldown?]

System: [Until 1 a.m. tomorrow morning.]

[Good. Once the time is up, make sure Xiao Jinsheng comes to see me,] Bai Yan instructed.

System: [The memory modification function is only available once every half month, and you’ve used every single instance on her.]

It had heard of fleece-shearing before, but Bai Yan’s level of focus on Xiao Jinsheng was unparalleled—it was like she only had one sheep to shear.

"I feel uneasy," Xiao Jinsheng muttered as she sat on a clean sofa she’d retrieved from her Space, pressing a hand to her chest.

Thinking about the ever-clingy Bai Yan, she couldn’t help but feel a chill, despite Bai Yan always sporting a cheerful smile—it gave her the creeps.

"Sleep in the Space tonight," Su Ye suggested.

"No, I’ll stay with you all." Xiao Jinsheng’s mind turned to the hidden passage in the house, and she devised a plan: "You can’t keep guarding against a thief forever—it’s better to confront her head-on."

"If it really is her, and if she truly has intentions against me, it’d be better to figure out her motives early."

For this reason, she didn’t mind acting as bait for once.

The family had already discussed this plan while at home.

So, after dinner, Xiao Jinsheng took one room to herself. Of the five men, three settled in the living room, while the other two took rooms on either side of hers.

Xiao Jinsheng lay in her tent with her eyes closed, though she wasn’t actually asleep.

Even though the Star Map app only served for friend chatting and task retrieval, with zero entertainment functions, one advantage was that it could be controlled through thought—she could chat with her eyes closed.

The divorce group Xiao Jinsheng was in rarely saw much activity, but now it was bustling for a change.

#The Villainess and Her Two Husbands Plus Three Trial Ex-Husbands Divorce Group#

Arrogant Cat: When did the group name change?

Very Nice Bro: You’re someone who’ll leave the group in the future—why so many questions?

Delicious Bro: Why is my group nickname... like this?

Xiao Jinsheng: I changed it because you make great food~

Murderous Bro: Score Sister, change my nickname back, or I’m leaving the group.

Xiao Jinsheng: If you don’t want ’Murderous Bro,’ would you prefer I call you ’Number Six’?

Murderous Bro: ...

Sweet Dreams Bro: Little Jin, if there’s any trouble on your end, let us know immediately.

Xiao Jinsheng: Got it, sweetie~

Sweet Dreams Bro: @Xiao Jinsheng, but what does my nickname mean?

Sweet Dreams Bro: That I sleep well?

Faced with Que Zelian’s questioning, Xiao Jinsheng replied with a slew of emoji, pretending to be deaf.

Just as she exited the group chat, she noticed a new friend request.

The profile picture was of a Demon Mask. Seeing the familiar-looking mask, Xiao Jinsheng didn’t even bother to ask and accepted the request directly.
