Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 184: Signing the Contract (Extra - for Monthly Pass)

Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Signing the Contract (Extra Chapter for Monthly Pass)

Opening the burlap sack, inside were several Star Stone Source Stones.

There were also several other black stones infused with energy.

And a pile of colorful, prism-shaped stones.

"Look, these are all the good stuff I snatched—uh, I mean, bought." Caicai introduced proudly.

Caicai called Xiao Jinsheng back to the living room, made sure everyone was present, and then expanded its personal shield.

Only after ensuring that the damn Terminal couldn’t eavesdrop on its words did it begin its explanation.

Caicai pointed at the black stones: "These are a specialty from the Interstellar World. They’re used to make Interstellar Boxes. An Interstellar Box is like your storage space which humans can’t physically enter. These black stones are the Space Stones of the Interstellar World."

"And this pile of colorful ones, I traded with my Host for them. They’re Five Elements Space Stones from the Cultivation World."

"This time when I went back, I also consulted my Host and refined the details for creating space."

"The space you obtained through the Terminal can still be used; don’t worry about it. But we can create another one ourselves."

"Now that we have all the materials, and your Superpower Levels are decent enough, we can first create a space. Though the size will be a bit small—only about as large as your current villa plus the yard."

"But there’s a perk!"

At this point, Caicai became excited.

"This space will incorporate energies from the Mist Continent, the Interstellar World, and the Cultivation World."

"What that means is, having this space will make it so that no matter which world you’re in, the energies from the other two worlds—different from this one—will provide defense and camouflage for the space."

"For example, if you’re currently in the Mist Continent, the energy from the Mist Continent within the space will act as its operational energy."

"Meanwhile, Interstellar Energy and Spiritual Energy from the Cultivation World will function as defense and camouflage. The Terminal, which draws its power from the Mist Continent, won’t be able to see what’s happening inside this space, which contains energies from all three worlds."

After explaining, Caicai sighed, "This is all I can do to help you. With this space, I hope you can live on well."

An insectoid invasion was imminent, and with no way to resist them, Xiao Jinsheng was unwilling to leave with it.

At the very least, she could still take a few Beast Husbands into this space to hide.

Small as it was, it was at least safe.

Besides, Xiao Jinsheng had many Beast Husbands. With the whole family together, it shouldn’t feel too lonely.

"Caicai." Xiao Jinsheng choked up.

She knew Caicai had been doing its best to make amends for its past mistakes.

"From now on, I won’t call you the Divine Gold System anymore," Xiao Jinsheng said, raising her hand to stroke its scallion-like stalk.

Caicai huffed arrogantly, "I’m a system. Words I find unpleasant are already filtered out. Even if you screamed to the heavens, I still wouldn’t hear you."

Sitting to the side, Mo Jiao remained silent.

So, the insult he had hurled at it not long ago... Caicai didn’t hear it? He’d wasted his breath getting angry for nothing?

"Let’s start creating the space." Caicai rubbed its hands together excitedly.

This time, during the battles against the insectoids with Lou Yan Zhi to earn points, it had pestered Lou Yan Zhi for more detailed knowledge about space creation.

Though it had ended up accruing a few more IOUs in the process,

it had genuinely learned some valuable information.

Noticing all the energies Xiao Jinsheng had set out, Chen Yunji took out his own Star Stone Source Stone and handed it to her. "Here, take mine too."

"Right." Xiao Jinsheng looked at Chen Yunji, thought of something, and asked Caicai, "The space we’re creating now, can anyone enter it?"

Spaces created by the Terminal could only be accessed by those bound to the Terminal or those with whom a Contractual Totem had been signed.

Caicai shook its head: "For spaces with a normal security level, as long as you, the owner, give permission, anyone can enter."

"But in that case, the Terminal could exploit this loophole. Since the Terminal is somewhat special, it could infiltrate your space."

"If you choose to create a space with the highest security level, prioritizing your own safety, then you wouldn’t have to worry about the Terminal—or about the insectoids, who can manipulate spaces—getting in."

"By the way, haven’t you heard of the insectoid motto?" Caicai said.

Clearing its throat, it then mimicked an insectoid’s cold, deep tone: "We control time. We operate space. We are eternal in the river of the cosmos. We are the true masters of the universe."

"Honestly, they’re not bragging. The insectoids are a species exceptionally skilled in space- and time-related superpowers."

"In the Interstellar World, the insectoids are an immensely arrogant existence."

"Born with overwhelming power, they view themselves as superior to all beings, believing they are the true rulers of the universe."

"Even when facing humans as their enemies, they still look down on them."

"To insectoids, humans are nothing more than pawns or food." ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Ask yourself—would anyone develop feelings for their food?"

"For your safety, the space must be created with the highest security level." Caicai said gravely. "Only those with a contractual connection to you can enter."

"The contractual connection here refers to the Contractual Totems, not things like Terminal bindings, which are useless."

"Otherwise, building the space would be pointless. Both the Terminal and the insectoids would be able to detect its existence, break through its defenses, and invade."

"If that’s the case..." Xiao Jinsheng glanced worriedly at Chen Yunji and Xuan Jiu.

As outsiders, wouldn’t Chen Yunji and Xuan Jiu be unable to enter the space?

"You’re worried about those two?" Caicai followed her gaze and dismissed the concern lightly: "Just make a contract with them, problem solved."

This statement instantly drew seven sharp, icy stares toward it.

The seven Beast Husbands didn’t say a word.

They understood, of course. After all, Chen Yunji and Xuan Jiu were allies.

Naturally, they couldn’t just leave their allies behind to face death while hiding themselves.

But the fact that only those with a Contractual Totem could enter the space? That really rubbed them the wrong way.

In that instant, Shi Xie suddenly empathized with how he had felt before, back when he pretended to be injured and needed Xiao Jinsheng to bring him into a space for treatment.

At the time, Xiao Jinsheng’s six other Beast Husbands must have felt exactly like this.

Frustrated.

Ready to punch something.

Only for their punches to land on soft cotton every time.

"Hey, why are you all glaring at me?" Caicai trembled slightly, hiding behind Xiao Jinsheng.

Especially Mo Jiao, who was shooting daggers at it with his eyes.

Caicai glared back at Mo Jiao and muttered, "Back when Xiao Jinsheng was picking bodyguards on the poster, I should’ve thrown you off and pushed the others to the front."

"For once, I agree with you." Li chuckled as he chimed in.

Had they discarded Mo Jiao,

Xiao Jinsheng might have picked him instead, and they wouldn’t have missed their chance.

"The contracts I’m talking about don’t necessarily have to be marital contracts," Caicai clarified, resigned. "This space contains energies from three different worlds."

"Therefore, entering it can be done using a Contractual Totem from the Mist Continent, which is typically a marital bond."

"But there’s also the Guardian Contract from the Interstellar World."

"And of course, the Cultivation World offers the most options, including Master-Servant Contracts, Symbiotic Contracts, Inheritance Contracts, Soul Contracts, and so on."

"None of these are necessarily marital contracts."

"If you want my recommendation, I’d suggest signing the Guardian Contract from the Interstellar World."

Caicai explained, "The Guardian Contract is where one voluntarily agrees to serve as the protector of another, ensuring their safety no matter the cost—even life or death. It’s like the relationship between a knight and a princess."

"I’m willing." Chen Yunji’s voice broke the silence, shocking everyone.

In an instant, ten pairs of eyes fixated on him.
