Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands
Chapter 334: Turning the Beast Husbands Against Each Other
CHAPTER 334: CHAPTER 334: TURNING THE BEAST HUSBANDS AGAINST EACH OTHER
But after comparing her combat power with that of the five, Xiao Jinsheng dismissed the idea.
She was afraid that the moment she acted, those five butchers would be enraged and perish together with her.
Xiao Jinsheng also considered divorcing immediately and severing ties with these five men.
But she also understood that it was too late for divorce now.
If she wanted a divorce, she should have talked it out amicably last night, divorcing in a calm manner.
However, these five men were inexplicably locked out by her for a whole night.
They waited from night till the afternoon the next day.
No one knew where their anger had risen to.
Given the current situation, Xiao Jinsheng dared not divorce at all.
If she risked it, the divorce might happen in the afternoon, but she’d be dead by tonight.
By not divorcing, as long as these five men didn’t perish with her, she could at least remain as the master of the house and control them.
Now Xiao Jinsheng only felt regret.
Regretting that this nightmare arrived so suddenly.
No preparation at all, not even ready to react, and then five butchers appeared in her dream.
Also, she remembered the dream of being killed, but the details were vague at best.
All she knew was that each of those five men gave her a stab.
The one called Mo Jiao was the one who stabbed her first.
It was also Mo Jiao who incited the other four men to come and kill her.
Xiao Jinsheng recalled the nightmare throughout the night.
From the limited and blurred memory of the dream, she tried to discern the personalities of the five individuals.
But discovered it was impossible; the memory was fragmented and disorderly, mainly around her death by their blades.
The one leaving the deepest impression was Mo Jiao, the mastermind behind her murder.
Another striking impression was Su Ye.
He sneaked into her house by scaling walls in the night, almost scaring the soul out of her!
Moreover, upon meeting, he had a stern face, not looking like a good person at all.
After a night of deliberation, the opportunity for divorce was gone.
Xiao Jinsheng dared not divorce, fearing they might resent last night’s event and simply kill her.
Now, she could only rely on the protection provided by the terminal bind, observing them first to see if she could uncover why these five men wanted her dead.
"You all... introduce yourselves first." Xiao Jinsheng looked at the five, which was the first friendly statement she made to the five Beast Husbands.
"Mo Jiao." Mo Jiao responded first, his purple eyes casually swept towards Xiao Jinsheng: "Beastified Black Snake, Illusionary Superpower Black Mist, Five Stars."
But soon after speaking, he noticed Xiao Jinsheng was quietly moving away from him.
Mo Jiao frowned, eyeing Xiao Jinsheng suspiciously.
Reflecting on his words, Mo Jiao lowered his gaze, seemingly realizing something.
After all, on the Mist Continent, snake Beastmen were mostly unwelcome by Female Masters.
Since the moment they met, Xiao Jinsheng showed resistance towards him, Mo Jiao thought he probably knew the reason.
"Su Ye, Beastified Black Panther, Enhanced Superpower, Invisibility, Four Stars." Noticing Xiao Jinsheng’s timidity, Su Ye tried to minimize his hostility.
But his journey to Moon City was quite unlucky.
Either mistakenly wandering into Mist West pursued by Fog Corpses.
Or encountering mutant beasts launching surprise attacks.
Even being surrounded by a group of zombies.
Su Ye couldn’t understand why he encountered five or six thousand zombies, creatures nearly eradicated from Mist Continent.
One could say that Su Ye’s journey was marked by fighting and surviving.
Avoiding scaring the Female Master he hadn’t met.
Before looking for Xiao Jinsheng, he even cleaned himself up, removing any signs of blood and chaos from this journey before meeting Xiao Jinsheng.
But after a month of fighting, the killing intent wasn’t something that could disappear easily.
Seeing Xiao Jinsheng glance at him and then quickly turn away, giving him a cold shoulder.
Thinking he might have frightened her.
Su Ye could only silently retreat a few steps, going to fetch the gift he brought from two thousand kilometers away.
He had prepared gifts.
These were gifts he had been preparing even before being allocated by the terminal to a Female Master.
All of them were trophies collected from childhood till now.
Soon he would give them to Xiao Jinsheng, surely it would help ease their relationship.
Su Ye confidently went to find the gift.
Meanwhile, Yu Yunxiao also started to introduce himself: "Yu Yunxiao, Healing Superpower, Beastified Jade Cat, Three Stars."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinsheng’s mind stirred.
This was someone of the Healing Element, his combat power was low, posing little threat to her.
If it came to a fight, she would definitely win.
Therefore, Xiao Jinsheng rarely adjusted her attitude, smiling amiably at Yu Yunxiao.
The sudden kindness instead caught Yu Yunxiao off guard, causing him to blush embarrassingly.
Thinking about his reaction, he felt very undignified.
Yu Yunxiao raised his chin, casting a cold eye towards Xiao Jinsheng, snorted arrogantly, and then looked away.
This time, Xiao Jinsheng was vulnerable and sensitive.
She never expected that amongst the five butchers, the one she found to be the most approachable had such strong opinions towards her.
Instantly, Xiao Jinsheng dismissed the idea of contacting Yu Yunxiao.
Turning her gaze towards the two who hadn’t spoken yet.
"Que Zelian, Beastified Dragon Sparrow, Wind and Cloud Abilities, Five Stars." Que Zelian’s gaze landed on Xiao Jinsheng, speaking calmly.
Looking at him, Xiao Jinsheng analyzed his reliability.
Whether it was beastification or superpower level.
The power was there.
If she could win over Que Zelian, would it change the dream scenario where she was knifed by the Beast Husbands turned butchers?
The more Xiao Jinsheng thought about it, the more viable that plan seemed.
Yet not long ago, she received a cold shoulder from Yu Yunxiao despite her warm approach.
Now Xiao Jinsheng was more sensitive and fragile than anyone.
Even though internally she scored Que Zelian high.
Her face showed nothing, still cold-spirited.
Though compared to her attitude towards Mo Jiao and Su Ye, she was slightly friendlier with Que Zelian now.
Que Zelian noticed Xiao Jinsheng’s indifferent attitude, unable to discern her likes or dislikes.
Taking care, Que Zelian reacted in a similarly reserved manner.
Like two strangers greeting, exchanging names, and counting as acquaintances.
Xiao Jinsheng shifted her gaze, looking finally at Huaiqing.
Huaiqing smiled politely and said: "Huaiqing, Beastified White Sheep, Water and Wood Abilities, Three Stars."
Xiao Jinsheng raised her eyebrows lightly, nodding slightly.
Although beastification had no combat strength.
The superpowers were decent, could assist and also attack.
However, with current strength... it might be hard to take on Mo Jiao and Su Ye, the toughest ones at hand.
Suddenly, Xiao Jinsheng thought a lot.
In the nightmare, although all five Beast Husbands would eventually kill her.
The brief introduction gave her an initial understanding of these five men.
Mo Jiao and Su Ye were tough to deal with.
Her impression of them was not good.
Yu Yunxiao was average.
Despite having no combat power, he seemed with a bad temper.
On the contrary, Que Zelian and Huaiqing seemed open to being won over.
Que Zelian appeared reasonable, and his power was impressive, enough to rival Mo Jiao.
Huaiqing, though ranks low in superpower level, he gave a rather kind impression.
Xiao Jinsheng thought about promoting Huaiqing’s strength, trying to win him over, wasn’t impossible.
Xiao Jinsheng plotted her own thoughtful plans.
The five men just watched her eyes scheming all sorts, evidently calculating something.
Meanwhile, Su Ye had already found the gift prepared for Xiao Jinsheng.
He held a box and handed it to Xiao Jinsheng: "Open it up to see, it’s my gift for you."
"You prepared this for me?" Xiao Jinsheng was shocked.
She glanced at the gift box wrapped in a shade of deathly Barbie pink, internally mocking Su Ye’s taste.
But curiosity got the better and extended hand to open it anyway.
At the same time, her opinion of Su Ye started to change.
Su Ye had been left blowing cold wind outside her yard all night.
Yet he still brought her a gift, he might actually be a good person? Maybe he could be persuaded?
Carrying this expectation, Xiao Jinsheng opened the gift box.
Then got frightened by a collection of mini mutant beasts, zombies, and fog corpse statuettes carved out of beast bones, stepping back instantly.
Her hand shook, hurriedly tossing the box back into Su Ye’s arms, angrily questioning: "You’re doing this on purpose!"
