Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: It’s Good That He’s Willing to Put Thought into Her

"So considerate!" Ying Haoyu exclaimed in surprise.

When a Beast Husband dies, their mate loses spiritual power.

She had three Beast Husbands who vanished.

And during her escape, she had lost spiritual power once.

Clearly, two of her Beast Husbands must still be alive.

Initially worried because the Insect Clan had occupied the Mist East, and fearing there would be no chance to reunite with her family, Ying Haoyu immediately felt reassured upon hearing these words.

The Great Demon thoughtfully pushed over a hospital bed and gently placed the still-unconscious Si Yan onto it.

The Insect Clan—they had already encountered them.

Seeing this Demon, wrapped completely in black and wearing an emoji-like expression mask, Ying Haoyu didn’t feel startled at all.

Xiao Jinsheng sighed, raising her hand to rub her slightly dizzy head, but a pair of hands beat her to it, gently massaging for her.

"Is everything set up?" Que Zelian asked with a smile.

Xiao Jinsheng turned her head to look at him without replying.

Her body slackened, and she burrowed into his arms.

Using her head to nuzzle his warm chest, she spoke tiredly, "Almost done setting things up."

"I’ve refined the rules for currency exchange, food, clothing, shelter, medical care, task rewards, and Mist Base penalties—basically everything I could think of."

She admittedly had no prior experience managing an entire base.

But she’d played plenty of games before.

Infrastructure, survival, even MMORPG programming—she could reference those for managing Mist Base.

Plus, with the Star System Map in place, all she needed to do was devise rules, leaving operations to the System Map.

Though initially taxing her spiritual power, the Mist Base could be efficiently managed thereafter under the Map’s control.

The focused effort and monitoring of the entire Mist Continent drained her spiritual power to the limit.

Even an iron-willed person like Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t avoid dizziness and exhaustion.

Her head rested against Que Zelian’s chest, too tired to activate her own Healing Element Superpower to recover.

But soon, a powerful healing force enveloped her.

Xiao Jinsheng instantly felt restored, her health replenished completely.

She shot up excitedly, but her head collided squarely into Que Zelian’s jaw.

Both winced in pain, and once again Yu Yunxiao’s healing power enveloped Xiao Jinsheng.

As for Que Zelian?

A rival. Minor injuries go untreated.

Major ones? Well, he’d just have to wait for death.

"Let me see if your jaw got dislocated." Xiao Jinsheng yanked Que Zelian’s hand off her head, cupping his face with both hands as she leaned in to inspect him.

"I’m fine. Are you still in pain?" Que Zelian asked, full of concern.

Yu Yunxiao scoffed from the side, "Do you think my healing power is invisible or something?"

"The pain didn’t even register before our little kitty patched me up," Xiao Jinsheng replied with a laugh.

Warm healing sparks followed her fingertips as she brushed them along the line of Que Zelian’s jaw.

Que Zelian’s amber gaze lowered slightly as he smiled faintly, catching her wrist: "After this long, shouldn’t it already be healed?"

"I was just touching it; what’s the problem?" Xiao Jinsheng replied, proud and defiant, tugging lightly at his cheek.

"If you’re going to touch me, then stop avoiding me from now on, all right?" Que Zelian asked quietly.

"Not happening." Xiao Jinsheng decisively pushed him away, retreating to the side.

"Furry is nicer to touch," Yu Yunxiao muttered softly beside her.

Xiao Jinsheng’s eyes lit up, her gaze brimming with anticipation.

Yu Yunxiao bristled in suspicion. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

That look—they were definitely up to no good.

"Yu Miao Miao~" Xiao Jinsheng grabbed his hand, her tone drawn out teasingly. "You’re at Eleven Stars now."

"And Beastmen can fully Beastify at Ten Stars," Xiao Jinsheng hinted wildly.

Yu Yunxiao’s ears twitched nimbly as he snorted proudly: "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

"I said, you can completely Beastify now!" Xiao Jinsheng leaned closer, raising her voice.

"Don’t understand, don’t understand," Yu Yunxiao shook his head. "I’m just a cat; I don’t understand human language."

"I said, I want to see your Complete Beastification!" Xiao Jinsheng clung to his arm, leaning by his ear to repeat herself.

"You want to see it?" This time Yu Yunxiao finally ’understood.’ noveldrama

He smirked mischievously, his tone proud: "What can I say? Even I can only fully Beastify at night." View the correct content at

"During the day, you don’t have time," Yu Yunxiao added, glancing at her with feigned regret. "And at night, you’re also busy."

"I have time!" Xiao Jinsheng quickly countered. "I have plenty of spare time at night."

Yu Yunxiao listened to her answer, his face lighting up with a triumphant smile.

Xiao Jinsheng narrowed her eyes dangerously, lightly tugging the tip of his cat ear. "You’re starting to get sneaky."

He used to be such an innocent little cat.

Now he even had tricks to manipulate her.

Oh well—as long as he cared enough to put in effort for her.

What evil could a little kitty possibly harbor?

Nine Beast Husbands; Xiao Jinsheng divided them into teams again this time.

Aside from those tasked with handling the Demons...

The eight remaining were split into groups of two.

Xiao Jinsheng aimed to awaken the world’s consciousness, to wrest power from the Terminal.

This left Que Zelian and Yu Yunxiao by her side.

The rest, except for Li, entered the Realm’s Star Stone Mines to absorb energy and upgrade their Superpower Levels.

Now equipped with the Star System Map’s defensive system...

The humans in Mist Base enjoyed its protective shield, and weren’t hindered in their efforts to break through to Twelve Stars in their Superpowers.

Of course, Xiao Jinsheng could extend this protection across the Mist Continent, shielding everyone from the Terminal’s threat at the Twelve-Star level. But such defense greatly consumed Star Stone energy.

Under the Terminal’s constant vigilance, it monitored Twelve-Star Beastmen emerging on the Mist Continent.

In other words, the Terminal’s assault remained perpetually active.

Xiao Jinsheng needed to conserve Star Stone energy for bombing the Insect Clan, even with abundant resources.

For now, priority defense was given to Mist Base, situated west of the Mist.

Once humanity’s strength here grew, they could expand and upgrade their Superpower Levels, targeting the Terminal’s defenses thereafter.

Facing the Terminal required Superpower Levels of at least Fifteen Stars.

This issue was now being addressed.

What remained most critical was overcoming the weakness of uncontrollable emotions.

In emotional manipulation, the Terminal was comparable to a conceptual deity.

Any emotional fluctuation, good or bad, gave it free rein to ignore its opponents’ levels entirely.

No matter if one were Twelve Stars, Fifteen Stars, or even twenty-something Stars...

Any soul restricted by their emotions would become food for the Terminal, devoured entirely.

The stronger the individual, the stronger the Terminal grew from emotional dependence.

The only distinction was that, compared to positive emotions, the Terminal was more inclined to devour negative ones.

"If everyone were upright and resolute, deeply believing the future would be bright, would that prevent the Terminal from exploiting emotional weakness?" Xiao Jinsheng proposed thoughtfully.

"This is an apocalypse," Yu Yunxiao dismissed pessimistically, shaking his head. "Survivors in the Apocalypse World all have some sort of psychological trauma, not to mention the looming Insect Clan invasion."

Not giving in to despair and despondency was hard enough—never mind holding onto hope?

In a post-apocalyptic world, people knew even in their dreams to avoid dreaming of paradise.

"It would theoretically help, but the condition of the Mist Continent makes it unlikely," Que Zelian interjected.

"Why wouldn’t it work?" Xiao Jinsheng smiled cryptically.

She called over Caicai, who was busy clearing out the Cannibal Flower’s ’possessions’: "What do you think about me using the Star System Map to teach classes for Mist Base’s survivors?"
