Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Li Divorce Agreement Signed

Here is the translation of the text:

The mist dissipated, and although there was no threat from the Fog Corpses, on the way back, they encountered a Mutant Beast.

It was a Four Star Mutant Beast, while Li’s Superpower Level at the time was only Two Stars.

Li had no choice but to hide Xiao Jinsheng and lure the Mutant Beast away himself.

But when he dealt with the Mutant Beast and hurried back, there was no sign of Xiao Jinsheng.

Li followed the tracks all the way and happened to witness Xiao Jinsheng walking into the shelter behind Bai Yan and a robot.

Xiao Jinsheng safely returned to the shelter, and Li finally let go of his heart, which had been worrying and fearing for her.

He thought that even though Xiao Jinsheng didn’t wait for him to return, it didn’t count as her leaving without a word.

After all, the two of them had agreed: if separated, they would wait for each other at the last shelter they stayed at.

During the fifteen days of escape, there were times when Li needed to lure away Fog Corpses, and Xiao Jinsheng would always wait for him at the agreed location.

This time, it was Li’s turn to guard the shelter where they had last stayed.

But he waited day after day.

She never came.

She never came.

After waiting for seven days, Xiao Jinsheng not only didn’t come to the agreed location to find him, but Li also started worrying if something had happened to her and searched outside the terminal shelter.

Only to discover Xiao Jinsheng playing shuttlecock with the robot at the shelter, her radiant smile showing no scars from the bloodshed of those fifteen days of desperate escape.

Li didn’t want to recall the emotions he felt while guarding outside the shelter, watching until nightfall when Xiao Jinsheng, tired of playing, returned carefree to the shelter.

He stared at the shelter’s tightly shut doors, reminiscent of how he first met Xiao Jinsheng, both at that time standing helplessly locked out of the door.

Carrying his last bit of hope, he waited at the bridge and the spot he had agreed upon with Xiao Jinsheng.

Half a month passed, the same number of days they spent fleeing in the mist.

"I waited for you," Li said, resting his chin on Xiao Jinsheng’s shoulder. "But you didn’t come."

"I even let malice take over, wondering if you thought I wasn’t strong enough to protect you."

"Do you hate me because of my disfigured face, scared to come near me again?"

"Are you still resenting our last encounter, when I stopped you from searching for medicine and knocked you unconscious?"

"But I never thought about whether you encountered danger, whether you had your own struggles."

"I should have come looking for you earlier. I shouldn’t have left you alone at the shelter to have your memories altered for over ten years."

"So, you didn’t break your promise—you were made to forget me by memory modification." Reflecting on Xiao Jinsheng’s ten years at the terminal shelter, there was always someone modifying her memories, twisting her thoughts.

Li’s red eyes brimmed with killing intent. "The one who altered your memories was the person who stopped you from saving me when we first met, wasn’t it?"

From Li’s words, Xiao Jinsheng realized she had left with Bai Yan and the robot at that time.

The robot couldn’t possibly modify her memories.

Li’s suspicion of Bai Yan didn’t surprise Xiao Jinsheng.

She wiped her tear-streaked red eyes, gripping Li’s wrist tightly as his wrath and killing intent surged: "Without me accompanying, you’re not allowed to seek her out yourself for revenge."

"Fine. Revenge is best done personally anyway," Li said, wiping the tears off Xiao Jinsheng’s reddened face, smearing his hand with her tears.

Xiao Jinsheng frowned and said, "I need to wash my face. These tears sting."

Li let out a faint laugh.

The two, previously consumed by grief and rage, now both broke into smiles.

Li scooped Xiao Jinsheng up and carried her to the bathroom, setting her down on the sink as he gently wiped her face with a soft, damp cloth.

Xiao Jinsheng closed her eyes, enjoying his service. But after a moment, as the warm cloth stopped touching her skin, she opened one eye to check the situation—only for a softness to press against her lips.

Li had dropped the cloth and kissed her lips, lifting his face to claim hers.

This kiss was unlike any other, distinct from prior ones or kisses shared with anyone else.

It carried the joy of a long-awaited reunion, the relief of dissolving misunderstandings.

And... the cherished gratitude of regaining what was lost.

"I’ve reached Ten Stars," Li said, gently brushing his fingertip across Xiao Jinsheng’s swollen lips with a serious expression. "I have the power to ensure you no longer live days filled with fear and worry."

"Xiao Jinsheng, would you divorce them for me?"

Li’s hopeful gaze fell upon Xiao Jinsheng.

Call him overbearing or call him selfish—it didn’t matter.

His timid retreat in youth had caused him and Xiao Jinsheng to miss out on too many moments.

So now, he couldn’t allow nor accept anyone else drawing Xiao Jinsheng’s attention away.

"I..." Xiao Jinsheng hesitated.

"Don’t you want a dog?" Li encircled her on the sink, smiling down at her.

"Didn’t you say you weren’t a dog?" Xiao Jinsheng retorted.

"My Beastification isn’t as a dog," Li teased, his tone enticing. "But I’ve reached Ten Stars and can fully Beastify now—you were curious before, weren’t you? Don’t you want to see?"

"I can first divorce Mo Jiao, Huaiqing, and Yu Yunxiao," Xiao Jinsheng compromised.

Li’s eyes filled with joy—even though Xiao Jinsheng hadn’t agreed to everything.

Her willingness to divorce the three was already a concession, a step taken for him.

"Which three?" Li asked.

Xiao Jinsheng sheepishly named Mo Jiao, Huaiqing, and Yu Yunxiao.

"Why not the other two?" Li looked equally distraught, sighing. "If it’s about strength, I have it too—I’m Ten Stars."

Xiao Jinsheng lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers as she carefully picked her words.

Her memories were already confused.

Accepting five Beast Husbands had initially been for survival and increasing spiritual power, not for emotional attachment.

Now that Li was here, with his strength, Xiao Jinsheng felt confident enough to confront Bai Yan and Jin Ao.

Moreover, Mo Jiao, Huaiqing, and Yu Yunxiao had always held firm attitudes of wanting to divorce her.

Especially Mo Jiao—despite his lingering intent to kill her, Xiao Jinsheng no longer felt fear now that Li was present.

Thus, she could go along with the wishes of Mo Jiao and the others, agreeing to divorce them.

It also soothed Li, allowing him to marry her.

As for Que Zelian and Su Ye, Xiao Jinsheng closed her eyes and summoned courage before explaining to Li: "Que Zelian and Su Ye—I can’t divorce them."

"Because... I slept with them. I can’t just abandon them, can I?"

Having spoken these words, Xiao Jinsheng blushed furiously, not daring to face Li’s reaction.

Li cupped her face, defiantly pressing down for a kiss.

Only when he had kissed her breathless did he relent: "So you slept with them. Then don’t sleep with them again in the future."

"I can accept you keeping those two, but I must be the main husband."

"Fine, fine. You’re the main husband," Xiao Jinsheng hastily agreed.

She was puzzled—wasn’t the terminal setting free of distinctions between main and secondary husbands?

Li smiled with satisfaction and once again produced divorce agreements.

But this time, he only brought three.

"Sign them," Li urged. "Once they’re signed, we’ll get married."

"So urgent?" Xiao Jinsheng exclaimed.

"To avoid unnecessary complications," Li chuckled softly.

Xiao Jinsheng took the pen, its tip trembling over the paper.

But recalling those fifteen days spent side by side with Li—and his injured, bloodied back shielding her—she took a deep breath, steeled her resolve, and swiftly signed her name on the three divorce agreements.
