Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 181 Is the kitten not good enough?

"It’s not exactly a haunted house, more like an insect-infested den," Xiao Jinsheng replied.

"Insect den?" Peng Qin was shocked. "There’s an insect infestation near Moon City? And the houses assigned by the terminal are in such poor condition?"

The terminal can monitor her.

Xiao Jinsheng was certain the terminal could also monitor Bai Yan—and monitor the Insect Clan.

Yet she couldn’t be sure why the terminal was hiding information about the Insect Clan and keeping it secret.

But if the terminal wouldn’t say anything, she could.

Perfect timing to test what the terminal really intended to do.

In just three months, the Insect Clan would descend upon Mist Continent.

For the survivors of Mist Continent, it would usher in yet another apocalypse.

Preparing early increases the odds of survival.

"The family next door is breeding insects—what’s more, they’re aliens from the Insect Clan," Xiao Jinsheng said.

After speaking, she waited for more than ten seconds, gauging the terminal’s reaction.

Instead, she met Peng Qin’s utterly confused expression. Concerned, Peng Qin asked, "Jinsheng, are you serious about this?"

"Yes, they’re creatures from other planets in the universe—the Insect Clan," Xiao Jinsheng confirmed with a nod.

"Compared to our Mutant Beasts and Fog Corpses, how terrifying are they?" Peng Qin, seeing her serious demeanor, grew serious as well.

Eighty years ago, the apocalypse descended on Mist Continent.

Zombies emerged, Poisonous Fog spread, humans awakened superpowers, and animals mutated.

By now, even if Xiao Jinsheng were to tell Peng Qin that the Mutant Beasts of Mist Continent could transform into humans, Peng Qin would believe her.

The truth is often absurd.

Some things, it’s better to believe than to dismiss.

"The highest superpower level here on Mist Continent is Twelve Stars. In the world of the Insect Clan, the highest superpower level is Twenty-Four Stars," Xiao Jinsheng informed her, based on the intel she had gotten from Caicai.

Peng Qin immediately exploded.

"What the hell!?" She shot to her feet, her tone agitated. "Twenty-Four Stars at the top? Then our Mist Continent’s max Twelve-Star capability wouldn’t even rank as mid-tier strength over there!"

"If this turns out to be true, wouldn’t the arrival of the Insect Clan on Mist Continent be the equivalent of a second apocalypse for us?"

"Jinsheng, can you swear this information is reliable?" Peng Qin frowned in inquiry.

At this moment, she wished Xiao Jinsheng was just bored and playing a prank to scare her.

"My superpower is prophecy," Huaiqing interjected from the side. "Everything being discussed here is what I foresaw."

"Huh? Aren’t you a White Sheep?" Peng Qin grew even more perplexed.

She looked at Huaiqing, recalling that Xiao Jinsheng had originally had five Beast Husbands.

Back when they stayed at a temporary shelter, Peng Qin’s Beast Husband, Xiong Yan Yu, had mentioned the strength of Huaiqing and the others to her.

Curious now, Peng Qin recalled that Xiong Yan Yu had once mentioned Huaiqing was a Beastified White Sheep with Wood and Water Dual Element powers.

So how did he end up with a prophetic superpower as well?

Piecing together a possible scenario, Peng Qin was startled. "Don’t tell me you’ve awakened some Divine Beast, Fierce Beast, or Mutant Beast bloodline?"

"Bai Ze," Huaiqing replied.

Xiao Jinsheng’s intentions were transparent to Huaiqing; he readily accompanied whatever she planned.

The arrival of the Insect Clan upon Mist Continent was inevitable.

The terminal would certainly not intervene on their behalf.

When it came to confronting the Insect Clan, they could only rely on themselves to form alliances.

And now, Peng Qin’s family just happened to live next door.

When the time came, the two families could look out for each other.

"Bai Ze!" Peng Qin carefully recalled information about Bai Ze. Her eyes widened, and she grabbed Xiao Jinsheng’s hand, shaking it excitedly. "Bai Ze is a Divine Beast!"

"Lucky girl, you’ve struck gold again." Peng Qin sighed. She had said this so often that she was tired of repeating it.

Besides, she’d also noticed Xiao Jinsheng’s seven Beast Husbands were all unusually well-behaved, each busy with his own tasks.

Not at all like the seven in Peng Qin’s own household, who were constantly at each other’s throats.

Especially the two newly assigned ones, whose relationship with the original five was like fire and water.

Speaking of this, Peng Qin could only sigh helplessly.

The terminal had revised its rules, increasing the baseline number of Beast Husbands per Mist Continent female from five to seven.

At the time of the Cloud Island competition, the minimum spiritual power requirement for female participants had been Five Stars.

By an unfortunate twist of fate, Peng Qin only had Four Stars.

This meant she couldn’t join the competition on Cloud Island.

Yet not long afterward, two new Beast Husbands were assigned to her household anyway.

From the moment they arrived, they clashed with Xiong Yan Yu, the recognized leader of her flock.

The seven of them argued so much that Peng Qin was growing a migraine; she barely even wanted to go home anymore.

Though she didn’t fully understand how powerful the Insect Clan was,

Peng Qin knew that should they arrive on Mist Continent, she’d first have to ensure peace within her own household before preparing to fight the invaders.

"Xiao Jinsheng," Peng Qin said, pulling closer and whispering in a conspiring tone.

She asked curiously, "Don’t your seven Beast Husbands fight? How do you get them to be so obedient?"

At this, Xiao Jinsheng’s mind filled with doubt.

Are those seven men obedient?

Thinking carefully: obedient when they want to be, perhaps.

Yet not obedient at all when they don’t want to be.

"Maybe it’s about balance?" Xiao Jinsheng wasn’t sure if her method could apply to Peng Qin’s situation.

"Spoil them equally so there’s no reason for them to argue," Xiao Jinsheng offered as her answer.

"Balancing things as evenly as that is easier said than done," Peng Qin lamented.

She thought about it, deciding to try Xiao Jinsheng’s approach.

If it didn’t work, she’d revert to her original plan, which she’d never yet had the opportunity to implement.

What if your Beast Husbands keep fighting?

Probably because they’re idle and bored.

Find them something to do, and they’ll settle down.

Still fighting?

Then, knock some sense into them.

With Caicai yet to return and more details of the Insect Clan still unclear, Xiao Jinsheng shared all she knew with Peng Qin.

Peng Qin’s expression grew somber. "If the Insect Clan is real, Mist Continent will face yet another disaster."

"If the terminal won’t care, then we’ll take matters into our own hands."

"When the time comes, I’ll call my family together, and our two households can plan something—maybe even build some defenses?"

From Xiao Jinsheng, Peng Qin understood the Insect Clan’s massive size and razor-sharp claws, sharper than the most lethal Death God Scythe.

Combined with superpower levels that utterly surpassed their own,

the survivors of Mist Continent—limited to a maximum Twelve-Star power level—

would stand no chance against the towering Twenty-Four-Star forces of the Insect Clan.

With no room to resist purely on strength, they’d have to rely on external resources.

After sharing what Xiao Jinsheng knew about the Insect Clan and the terminal’s indifference, Peng Qin hurried home, clearly keen to prepare.

Xiao Jinsheng herself had many matters to attend to, and with Peng Qin equally busy, she didn’t try to keep her.

Yet, though their homes were close, there was still some distance between them.

Xiao Jinsheng randomly selected one of her Beast Husbands to accompany her on the journey to escort Peng Qin.

It so happened that Mo Jiao was in the yard studying a Cannibal Flower, so Xiao Jinsheng grabbed him on the fly.

Once Peng Qin safely entered her home—greeted at the door by one of her own Beast Husbands—Xiao Jinsheng finally turned back with Mo Jiao.

"Why hasn’t your spiritual power increased?" Mo Jiao asked casually, draping an arm over Xiao Jinsheng’s shoulder as they walked.

Xiao Jinsheng scowled and glared up at him. "You’re getting quite comfortable, aren’t you?"

"And stop asking me such personal questions," she reminded him.

Mo Jiao sneered. "I’m only curious about your power progression."

He then moved his hand around her waist instead.

With a subtle squeeze, Mo Jiao pulled Xiao Jinsheng into his arms.

Lowering his head, his inky purple hair naturally draped across Xiao Jinsheng’s chest, brushing against her as he pressed a delicate kiss near her ear and teasingly whispered, "Is the little kitten feeling inadequate? For increasing spiritual power, I’m your best option."

"Pick me tonight, how about that?" Mo Jiao’s large palm settled at the curve of Xiao Jinsheng’s back, his fingers rubbing in a way that sent a gentle tickle straight down her spine.

Meeting the way Xiao Jinsheng raised her gaze to look at him, his violet eyes gleamed with a mischievous, alluring smile.
