Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Cute Things Should Be Eaten

The two of them returned to their rooms respectively. They had just lain down and estimated that only half an hour had passed.

Outside the door, a knocking sound came again: "Open the door! I know you’re in there. You can sleep, but you can’t open the door?"

But when Que Zelian and Huaiqing each got up to open the door, the hallway was completely devoid of Xiao Jinsheng’s figure.

Xiao Jinsheng grew more enthusiastic with her knocking.

Three consecutive rounds of knocking, but neither Huaiqing nor Que Zelian managed to catch her.

On the fourth time, she yawned and prepared to knock one last time.

She was feeling sleepy too.

She didn’t care whether those two slept.

She herself needed to rest first.

Huaiqing’s room was too far.

Que Zelian’s room was closer.

Xiao Jinsheng paused outside Que Zelian’s door, her hand, out of muscle memory, went "bang bang" on the door again.

"Open the door! You can actually sleep at this hour?"

After yelling, she turned to sneak away, only to run directly into a broad, solid chest.

Xiao Jinsheng took half a step back and looked up, meeting Huaiqing’s gaze. He was wearing a robe and not wearing his glasses.

"Not sleeping this late?" Huaiqing asked with a smile.

"Can’t I go to the restroom?" Xiao Jinsheng glared at him.

She turned to go back to her room, and at that moment, Que Zelian’s door opened.

His long hair hung smoothly over his shoulder. Tilting his head, he smiled at Xiao Jinsheng: "Every room has a restroom."

"I like going to the one on the first floor," Xiao Jinsheng retorted.

With that, she lifted her chin and ignored the two of them, heading straight back to her own room.

Halfway there, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

She backed up again, pointing at the two of them in warning: "Who gave you permission to talk to me right now."

"Since last night, I’ve decided not to talk to the two of you for three days."

"Stop talking to me!"

This time, Que Zelian and Huaiqing were obedient and didn’t respond to her.

The only response Xiao Jinsheng gave them was the soft sound of her door closing.

Imagining the two of them unable to sleep well tonight, Xiao Jinsheng lay down on her soft bed, her mood instantly brightened.

The next morning, Huaiqing brought her breakfast in silence.

He didn’t speak, only smiled gently at Xiao Jinsheng as he pushed a plate of dumplings toward her.

Xiao Jinsheng turned her head and refused outright.

On the other side, Que Zelian also slid over a bowl of fresh mushroom porridge.

Xiao Jinsheng simply got up and left the dining table, using her actions to reject their goodwill.

She turned to look at Chen Yunji, who couldn’t be bothered to take off the white veil, and after removing it, couldn’t be bothered to put it back on: "How’s your cooking?"

Chen Yunji shook his head, then nodded.

Although he had previously stayed in this household, he had been scheduled into the rotation.

But Xiao Jinsheng’s seven Beast Husbands always fought to cook.

Some insisted on cooking with their own hands.

Others hired centenarian midgets to prepare pre-made meals for everyone.

So, the tasks assigned to Chen Yunji were mostly cleaning the living room, washing dishes, and trimming the garden.

"My superpower is unique; I can already survive without food," Chen Yunji replied.

As he spoke, he raised his hand, gathering Star Stone Energy from the air.

He directly shaped it into a ’multi-colored’ little Silver Dragon Donut with pure energy.

He handed the donut to Xiao Jinsheng and said, "When I want something to eat, I eat this."

"What does it taste like?" Xiao Jinsheng asked in surprise as she took it.

The Silver Dragon Donut looked more like a glossy fondant dessert.

"Elemental flavor," Chen Yunji replied.

"When you eat it, whatever mood you’re in, that’s what it will taste like."

"Now I’m curious," Xiao Jinsheng said as she opened her mouth and took a bite.

She didn’t hold back in tasting the intricate Silver Dragon Donut.

Cute things should be eaten.

The texture was like cotton candy, yet also like a soft, fluffy bread.

As for the flavor...

Xiao Jinsheng frowned.

The initial taste was sweet, but as she ate, it turned sour.

Toward the end, it even carried a bitter note.

Seeing Xiao Jinsheng take only one bite before stopping, Chen Yunji asked with concern, "Don’t like it?"

"I’ll start making foods you enjoy," he offered.

"It’s fine. Changing things up every now and then isn’t bad," Xiao Jinsheng said, lowering her eyes as she took another bite of the Silver Dragon Donut.

This time, there was no sweetness.

Instead, what she tasted was spicy.

"What are you eating there?" Caicai floated over curiously.

Today, it had taken on a new form.

It was a potato with wings.

"Ah, Star Stone Energy?" Caicai exclaimed in surprise. "Why’s your diet the same as a Terminal’s now?"

With the donut still in her mouth, Xiao Jinsheng froze in place.

She thought it over carefully; Caicai’s words didn’t seem wrong.

The Terminal consumed Star Stones brimming with emotion.

Did the flavors it experienced from the Star Stones also vary as hers did now?

Were the myriad flavors tied to her own emotions?

Or perhaps they reflected the sour, sweet, bitter, and salty sentiments of the Beastmen she consumed?

"You only get to eat this now," Caicai said, glancing at them and noticing they had signed a Contractual Totem.

It added, "That’s because Chen Yunji’s elemental superpower is unique. He can live directly off this world’s energy."

"By signing a Contractual Totem with him, you effectively share one body."

"His unique constitution and superpower are now yours to use."

"Without this layer of the Contractual Totem, don’t you go eating Star Stone Energy on your own—it’ll make you explode."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yunji quickly clarified, "I knew she could eat it, which is why I gave it to her."

So before this, even though he had interacted with Xiao Jinsheng, Chen Yunji had never actively shaped Star Stone Energy for her to consume.

"Doesn’t this mean I can go to the Star Stone Mine today and have a buffet? Like falling into a vat of rice?" Xiao Jinsheng mused, her imagination running wild.

Everyone fell silent.

"That reasoning is sound. Fairly reasonable," Caicai nodded. "And even if you eat it, none of it actually goes to your stomach, so there’s no worrying about overeating."

"The only thing you need to worry about is your superpower constantly leveling up."

Xiao Jinsheng’s Plundering Superpower was already at Twelve Stars.

Another level up, and it would reach Thirteen Stars, or even higher.

"Caicai, can you find out how many stars the Terminal has?" Xiao Jinsheng asked.

Caicai shook its head and explained, "Shaking my head doesn’t mean I don’t know. It’s just that the Terminal isn’t female, nor is it a Beastman. It’s a lifeform beyond anything seen on Mist Continent. Its strength can’t be measured by superpower levels."

Xiao Jinsheng sighed in frustration.

If she couldn’t determine the Terminal’s strength... noveldrama

She couldn’t guarantee that, even if she emptied the Star Stone Mine...

...and raised herself to a level Mist Continent had never seen before—Twenty Four Stars...

...whether she’d even stand a chance against the Terminal.

But worrying about this now wouldn’t achieve anything.

Right now, clearing out the Star Stone Mine, acquiring more Star Stone Source Stones, and expanding the Realm was more urgent.

The Demon Territory also needed people to stay behind.

So this time, Ming Huaxin and Peng Qin’s families were both left in the Demon Territory by Xiao Jinsheng.

The ones heading to the Star Stone Mine were only her immediate circle.

Even Xuan Jiu, who had been lingering in the Realm, was coming along.

After all, everyone present had Guardian Contracts in place.

If they truly encountered danger, they still had a chance to retreat into the Realm.

As for the layout of Fog Corpses around the Star Stone Mine, those who had spent months hiding nearby to absorb Star Stone Energy were already familiar.

Through Li’s superpower, they directly teleported to the outskirts of the Star Stone Mine.

Spotting an Eleven-Star Fog Corpse guarding the mine’s entrance, the group refrained from acting rashly.

"Just you two left to go in? I’d better stay outside to provide backup," Li worriedly suggested.
