Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands

Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Please sign a Contractual Totem with me, I can be small

The Star Stone Mine is great, but the Fog Corpse swarm is a nuisance.

There are still quite a few 11-star Fog Corpses inside.

Right now, our side’s strength has improved significantly.

But if it comes to fighting the Fog Corpses head-on, Xiao Jinsheng still doesn’t want to engage directly.

Fighting Fog Corpses would only waste her time.

And the larger the battlefield, the faster the durability of the anti-poison mist tools would deplete. noveldrama

It’s unnecessary, truly unnecessary.

Fighting fog corpses is just not worth it.

"Is there really no way to silently empty out the Star Stone Mine?" Xiao Jinsheng propped her chin, deep in thought.

As she spoke, she glanced up, eyes filled with hope, and looked at Li: "Isn’t your superpower the ability to swap locations with people?"

"Since you can switch human locations, can’t we find an open area and swap it with the Star Stone Mine?"

Li chuckled helplessly at this.

He shook his head: "I wish I had that ability, but our superpowers rely on the energy within the Star Stones to function."

"The Star Stone Mine is essentially the source of superpower energy, so the domain superpower’s location swapping doesn’t work on it."

"However..." Li’s gaze deepened as he thought: "While I can’t swap the Star Stone Mine’s location, I could swap the Fog Corpses’ locations nearby."

As long as I set up the coordinates.

It’s not impossible to quietly send the Fog Corpses thousands of miles away.

"But even if we relocate the Fog Corpses, we can’t move them all," Xiao Jinsheng frowned in frustration.

They are indeed 11-stars.

But there are not only 11-star Fog Corpses, there are also 12-star ones.

Damn disgusting terminal.

Why doesn’t it consume the Fog Corpses’ Star Stones?

Even if the Fog Corpses are relocated thousands of miles away by Li’s superpower, they would quickly return.

They simply don’t have the time to collect all the Star Stone Source Stones.

Everyone was deep in thought, trying to come up with solutions.

Even Caicai opened the Cannibal Flower’s mouth and rummaged through it.

Soon, it transformed into a Golden Little Elf.

One finger, one ring.

It floated in front of Xiao Jinsheng, eager to show off: "These are all the savings my host accumulated in the Cultivation World."

"The terminal space is unsafe, but storage rings from the Cultivation World are still usable. Luckily, your realm has the Cultivation World’s power, so you can activate the storage rings now."

"The only downside is that people can’t go inside, nor can you plant or raise living beings in them."

"But to steal Fog Corpses’ Star Stones, they’re definitely better than using sacks."

As Caicai spoke, it dragged over the Cannibal Flower: "It can also hold things. Bring it along to devour more Star Stones."

Yu Yunxiao voiced his concern: "But even with just us, we still can’t move enough Star Stones in a short time."

"Let alone venturing into the Star Stone Mine’s depths to retrieve the Star Stone Source Stones."

And they only knew about this one Star Stone Mine.

The Star Stone Mine that Xuan Jiu had dropped long ago—back when he ascended to 12-stars and was dragged away by the Terminus Black Mist—had all its resources seized by the terminal as well.

Thinking of this made Xuan Jiu sulk.

"It’s okay, let’s all think together. There’s always a solution," Xiao Jinsheng comforted.

As she spoke, her hopeful gaze fell on Que Zelian and Huaiqing.

Que Zelian frowned in contemplation.

Huaiqing, on the other hand, remained calm, the only one present who wasn’t showing any urgency.

Behind his glasses, his gaze quietly scanned the far corner, where the ever-silent Chen Yunji was sitting quietly.

Chen Yunji’s eyes, obscured by the white veil, looked vaguely in the direction of Xiao Jinsheng.

Just as everyone was brainstorming solutions, he suddenly stood up and walked over to Xiao Jinsheng.

With his usual, infuriatingly calm demeanor, he raised his hand and said, "Can we form a Contractual Totem?"

"Huh?" Xiao Jinsheng’s mind was thoroughly bewildered at that moment.

She wanted to use her mind-reading ability on Chen Yunji.

But all she found in his mind was the repeated thought of forming a Contractual Totem with her.

"I see you’re trying to stir trouble," Su Yejin’s golden eyes gleamed dangerously.

Mo Jiao’s expression darkened as he coldly questioned: "What, spent too much time with your fellow fox lunatic and caught his madness?"

"I can treat that free of charge," Yu Yunxiao gritted his teeth.

"Does staying in the castle make you uncomfortable?" Li sneered coldly. "Do you prefer sleeping in the wilderness?"

"This matter isn’t something for us to discuss, is it?" Que Zelian’s gaze turned chilly as it fell on Chen Yunji.

"Why did you suddenly come up with this idea?" Shi Xie spoke disapprovingly, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Jinsheng’s other six Beast Husbands, before finally landing on her. He explained, "If our Female Master is willing, I have no objections."

"However..." Shi Xie gave Chen Yunji a reproachful look. "Our family is harmonious with its current number. Even if you join, you’d be the youngest."

"I can be the youngest," Chen Yunji responded.

Xiao Jinsheng choked, almost losing her breath.

Behind the white veil, Chen Yunji’s eyes looked at her with utter sincerity: "If you let me join, I can be the youngest. You already have seven Beast Husbands. I can be your eighth."

"It’s my fault. I’ve been too kind to you," Li’s aura turned threatening as he stepped in front of Xiao Jinsheng.

The other Beast Husbands all took up defensive positions against Chen Yunji.

Huaiqing was the only one who remained seated, unmoving.

"I can really be the youngest, the eighth," Chen Yunji insisted.

"I think the Insect Clan has scrambled your brains," Xuan Jiu jumped up, launched himself forward, and slid straight toward Chen Yunji.

Chen Yunji calmly lifted his foot, effortlessly dodging Xuan Jiu’s assault.

He blinked, confused, and asked Xuan Jiu, "Why are you attacking me?"

"Because I feel like it!" Xuan Jiu growled.

He gestured to Li and the others: "You all stay back. I’ll handle him."

Saying this, he charged at Chen Yunji with claws bared: "We’re just guests here, alright? Guests, do you not understand?"

"They’re sheltering us out of kindness."

"And you?!"

"Your filthy thoughts are disgusting. You’re lusting after their Female Master."

"Chen Yunji, it’s fine to be blind, but can you at least have some shame?"

"My eyes are healed," Chen Yunji tilted his head and explained to Xiao Jinsheng.

Xuan Jiu fumed on the spot: "I say all this, and that’s the part you choose to respond to?"

"Then why are you still wearing the veil?" Xiao Jinsheng asked curiously.

She had been meaning to ask this question for a long time.

She just hadn’t found the right moment to bring it up.

"Because I’m used to it," Chen Yunji answered.

It had become a fixed part of his image, so he was too lazy to make any changes.

Moreover, with something covering his eyes,

others couldn’t see his gaze or infer his emotions from his expressions.

Chen Yunji found this suited his desire for a quiet environment, giving him a "reason" to ignore others and immerse himself in his own world.

"But why did you suddenly want to form a Contractual Totem with me?" Xiao Jinsheng asked.

By reading Chen Yunji’s mind, she knew he was someone who could endure a lot.

Considering how long he had been suppressing the desire to form a bond with her,

she speculated that, left to his own devices, Chen Yunji’s personality was such that he could take the secret to his grave without ever confessing his feelings for her.

But why the abrupt change of heart today?

"Because of my superpower," Chen Yunji explained, "My superpower is special; it’s elemental."

"This power can disguise the energy of all things in the world. If you and I form a Contractual Totem, as husband and wife, you’d be able to easily borrow my elemental superpower."

"Together, we could evade the Fog Corpses and sneak into the Star Stone Mine to retrieve the Star Stone Source Stones."
