CHAPTER 332: CHAPTER 332: LOST MEMORIES

Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Jinsheng instinctively frowned.

She turned around and saw Bai Yan standing not far away, waving at her with a smile, "Jinsheng, I need your help again."

Mist swirled around Xiao Jinsheng, rising upwards as it was blown.

The pure white mist, while entrapping Xiao Jinsheng, gradually turned black.

Xiao Jinsheng furrowed her brow, about to use the wind to blow away the black mist.

Bai Yan had already approached, tightly grabbing her wrist at the same time.

She leaned in closer, smiling gently, her eyes seemingly glowing, staring closely into Xiao Jinsheng’s eyes with delight, "That’s great, Jinsheng, we’re neighbors again."

At the same time, Xiao Jinsheng used the Wind Element Superpower to disperse the black mist surrounding her.

Finally, the familiar scene emerged clearly from behind the mist.

It was a familiar environment, a familiar little villa.

Yet Xiao Jinsheng’s memories of it were quickly fading in her mind under Bai Yan’s proximity.

"Jinsheng, we are good friends, right?" Bai Yan hooked Xiao Jinsheng’s arm, leaning closely to her, speaking intimately.

"Yes, Bai Yan is my good friend." Xiao Jinsheng responded woodenly.

Bai Yan asked, "Since you’ve now moved out of the terminal shelter, surely the terminal has assigned you a Beast Husband."

"Which Beast Husbands did the terminal assign to you? I can help you check them out."

"There are..." Xiao Jinsheng was about to speak but hesitated and then bit her lip and shook her head, struggling.

It seemed she was resisting something.

But upon hearing Bai Yan’s next sentence, her defenses were shattered.

"Jinsheng, I had a dream, a dream I don’t dare tell anyone else."

"But because you’re my good friend, I feel... I should still tell you." Bai Yan looked painfully at her.

Xiao Jinsheng turned her head and saw Bai Yan with tears in her eyes, sobbing as she looked at her, "I dreamt... dreamt that you died."

"Died at the hands of the Beast Husbands assigned to you by the terminal."

"No, they wouldn’t." Xiao Jinsheng shook her head, urgently refuting, "They wouldn’t kill me, they are... they are bodyguards."

At this moment, Xiao Jinsheng’s memories were chaotic, even obscured by a thick white mist.

She couldn’t recall much.

But she vaguely understood that there should be someone here who can protect her.

"Jinsheng, I care about you too." Bai Yan said with tears in her voice, "Do you know how worried this dream made me for you?"

"I dreamt that the Mist Continent is not the real world, it exists within a book."

"Even the Beast Husbands, assigned by the terminal, never betray the Female Master, in the end, they all betrayed you."

"Jinsheng, I know you don’t believe it, and I don’t want to believe this dream either." Bai Yan sighed, looking at Xiao Jinsheng with concern, "How about this, I don’t know which Beast Husbands the terminal assigned to you yet."

"I’ll tell you first, the Beast Husbands I saw in my dream, who they are?"

"If the dream and reality are different, then it proves you are safe."

Without waiting for Xiao Jinsheng’s agreement, Bai Yan accurately spoke the information of the five Beast Husbands assigned to Xiao Jinsheng by the terminal.

"A Beastified Dragon Sparrow, called Que Zelian; a Beastified Jade Cat, called Yu Yunxiao; a Beastified Black Snake, called Mo Jiao; a Beastified Black Panther; called Su Ye; and a Beastified White Sheep, called Huaiqing."

"Jinsheng, are these the five?" Bai Yan asked.

Xiao Jinsheng listened to the perfectly accurate names and information, but her face became increasingly pale.

The Beast Husbands assigned by the terminal are known only to the Female herself.

And she looked at the distance between herself and these five Beast Husbands.

None of the five were near Moon City.

Bai Yan couldn’t have met them.

So... was her dream real?

"But we have the protection of the terminal, if they kill me, they will die too." Xiao Jinsheng still didn’t want to believe it.

Even in her subconscious, a voice kept telling her she could trust these five Beast Husbands.

"What if they chose to perish with you?" Bai Yan said solemnly.

She looked on in satisfaction as fear engulfed Xiao Jinsheng, speaking hauntingly, "They don’t like you, they detest you so much that your death is a relief, even if it means accompanying you in death."

"Shut up!" Xiao Jinsheng said angrily, glaring coldly at Bai Yan, "You keep saying you’re my good friend, do you think the things you just said are what a good friend would say?"

"Even if there are really issues with them, you shouldn’t be trying to scare me like this."

"Jinsheng..." Bai Yan looked hurt, stepping back, raising the corners of her mouth, "You really have become harder to deceive as you’ve grown up."

"Bai Yan!" Xiao Jinsheng shouted angrily.

Then she heard Bai Yan speak carelessly, "Can’t be bothered to talk nonsense with her, just modify her memory."

No one responded to Bai Yan.

But Xiao Jinsheng felt a sharp pain in her mind.

When she awoke again, it was from the pain of a handsome yet demonic man plunging a dagger into her throat.

Xiao Jinsheng broke out in a cold sweat.

She sat up abruptly, only to find herself still in the new little villa she had just moved into.

At this moment, she was sitting on the sofa, the sofa beneath her soaked with sweat.

Yet Xiao Jinsheng’s head throbbed, countless terrifying images flashed through her mind.

Five handsome faces, cold and merciless, brutally killing her.

Even with the terminal binding them, everyone hated her, despised her, willing to perish with her.

Xiao Jinsheng breathed rapidly, enveloped in fear amidst uncertainty between true and false.

In her memory now, there was no scene of contact with Bai Yan earlier.

Being killed by the five Beast Husbands felt like a nightmare during a nap.

"Dreams are opposite." Xiao Jinsheng tried to soothe herself, "Afternoon naps tend to bring nightmares, it’s fake, all fake."

Moreover, the five Beast Husbands in the dream were incredibly handsome individuals.

Thinking about how dreams beautify appearances.

Xiao Jinsheng reassured herself again, "It’s just a dream, the five inside were ghosts in disguise, who knows what my five Beast Husbands look like."

"My Beast Husbands can’t look like that." She thought, as the terminal never showed her pictures of the five Beast Husbands.

"Fake, all fake."

As Xiao Jinsheng comforted herself, the doorbell rang outside the courtyard.

Xiao Jinsheng immediately felt like a startled cat, bristling and wary.

Since the terminal assigned Beast Husbands and housed her.

With the five Beast Husbands about to arrive, the robot from the terminal shelter escorted her to live alone in Moon City yesterday.

Afraid to go out and run into a Mutant Beast or encounter danger.

Xiao Jinsheng planned to stay inside the house, waiting for the five bodyguards assigned by the terminal to arrive before going out.

Who knew she’d take a nap and have a nightmare.

The doorbell outside rang continuously.

Xiao Jinsheng looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, it was already dusk.

Due to the recent dream, Xiao Jinsheng shrank back into the sofa, planning to play deaf, not intending to answer the door.

Just in time, she had slept until nightfall, and the lights inside weren’t on, making it easier to pretend no one was home.

The courtyard bell rang five times in succession, finally quieting down.

Xiao Jinsheng thought for sure the person outside had left and let out a sigh of relief, only to hear someone sliding open the window of her dining room.

Sensing something was amiss, Xiao Jinsheng turned back in horror.

She vaguely saw a tall black silhouette open the window from outside and come rushing at her.

She rolled off the sofa in a hurry, rushing to the kitchen to grab a knife.

Her heart felt icy cold, she just felt terribly unlucky.

Not having fully recovered from the fear of the nightmare, now an intruder had broken in.
