Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 223: I am his sworn enemy

As soon as Li appeared, the Fog Corpses drawn to the collapse of the Star Stone Mine instantly shifted their hatred lock and surged toward the underground direction of the mine.

But just as they surrounded it and began clearing the rocks buried atop, they lost track of Li’s aura—one that didn’t belong to their kind.

When Li reappeared, he was holding Xiao Jinsheng, who locked eyes with Bai Yan by chance.

Bai Yan stared at Xiao Jinsheng and Li, both covered in dirt and appearing suddenly. Before she could react, the two disappeared right before her eyes.

The only thing left behind was that solitary muddy footprint on the ground.

"An energy fluctuation?" A millipede with alternating orange and black stripes clung to the windowsill, craning its upper body to investigate inside the house.

But the energy fluctuation vanished in an instant, leaving it unable to track.

Its gaze shifted to Bai Yan, as it spoke arrogantly: "Human, did you discover anything?"

"No." Bai Yan furrowed her brows and, almost unintentionally, stepped over the mud print.

·

They passed through the Mist East’s transit point and shook off the tracking Fog Corpses.

In the second teleportation, Li brought Xiao Jinsheng back to the Demon Territory.

Recalling the fleeting figure she had seen, Xiao Jinsheng confirmed with Li: "Did we just run into Bai Yan?"

"At that moment, I did indeed sense some loathsome aura nearby." Li replied.

Bringing Xiao Jinsheng back through Mist East, they had returned to their ruined villa near Moon City.

Even though the villa had been half-destroyed during a battle with the Insect Clan,

why had Bai Yan appeared there?

Even for a brief moment, less than a second, Xiao Jinsheng had noticed that the villa had been roughly repaired.

Looking at Bai Yan then, it seemed she was setting up camp there.

"I could sense that, at the time, there were other powerful superpower energies around." Li remarked. "Those energies felt very similar to the Insect Clan ones we encountered."

"So, Bai Yan has fully aligned herself with the Insect Clan?" Xiao Jinsheng said in a low voice.

But it wasn’t unexpected.

Whether it was the existence of the Insect Brain,

or Bai Yan’s second awakened superpower which harmonized with the Insect Clan,

Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t help but feel a headache at the thought of the Insect Clan.

Fortunately, the realm in front of her had expanded again.

She had also cleared out another Star Stone Mine.

The realm’s expansion mirrored the layout of the Terminal Space completely.

Previously, the four directions were marked by mountains representing the four seasons.

Xiao Jinsheng simply threw the mined Star Stones onto the autumn mountain, which she rarely used.

The rich Star Stone Energy permeated the realm.

The few men still in the realm felt the Star Stone Energy infiltrating their bodies and quickly left it.

To avoid a scenario where a mere tea break would elevate their energy to the Terminal’s dining table.

With the realm’s area deemed sufficient, Xiao Jinsheng decisively unbound herself from the Terminal Space.

It was meant to be a space designed for females.

But the Terminal had secretly placed Insect Eggs inside—who would dare to use it anymore?

Even the weapons previously obtained through the Terminal were no longer used by Xiao Jinsheng.

The enhancements from the Terminal, like physical defense and speed, couldn’t be undone, just like the Star Map—it too couldn’t be severed.

Seeing everyone gathered, Xiao Jinsheng casually mentioned that Caicai’s host, Lou Yan Zhi, would also be coming to the Mist Continent.

"Lou Yan Zhi?" Huaiqing asked, puzzled.

As soon as Huaiqing spoke, Xiao Jinsheng’s gaze fixated on him.

Simultaneously, she listened to Huaiqing’s inner voice.

Huaiqing: [Lou Yan Zhi, a decent name.]

Huaiqing’s inner voice contained only that single sentence, leaving Xiao Jinsheng’s mind swirling with suspicion.

So could Huaiqing really not be an android?

Suddenly mentioning Lou Yan Zhi’s name,

was it just to praise the name internally? How suspicious.

Under the shielding power of the Bai Ze Bloodline, what Huaiqing truly thought about was the vision he had seen in his prophecy.

In the prophecy, he hadn’t seen Lou Yan Zhi.

But Caicai did make an appearance.

However, they all died.

Not only Xiao Jinsheng, but everyone, including those Beast Husbands.

In the prophecy, Caicai dealt with their corpses to prevent the Insect Clan from devouring them.

But as for Lou Yan Zhi, Caicai’s host, Huaiqing had neither heard of him nor seen him.

Could it be...

Hope seemed to light up in Huaiqing’s eyes.

Since someone absent from the prophecy had appeared in reality,

could it mean the altered prophecy was indeed taking effect?

"Do we need to prepare something?" Huaiqing proactively asked. "After all, he’s coming from far away."

"No need to bother." Caicai cut in.

Looking at everyone, he added a reminder: "My host is a bit mentally off."

"He’s just like..." Caicai pointed at Xuan Jiu, "My host’s issues are worse than Xuan Jiu’s."

"You all shouldn’t interact with Lou Yan Zhi much; just stay guarded and don’t spend time alone with him."

"Are you sure this person is your host and not your enemy?" Yu Yunxiao exclaimed in astonishment.

Caicai nodded, "You guessed right; he is my host, and I am his system, but also his enemy—no, I’m his nemesis system."

Unwilling to delve into the friction between himself and Lou Yan Zhi, Caicai simply warned everyone to treat Lou Yan Zhi like a stranger and avoid excessive interaction.

Xiao Jinsheng’s family, say what you will,

they knew how to take advice.

The others went on to study tree planting.

With the Insect Clan invasion, they weren’t planning to purify the Poisonous Fog in Mist West.

But people couldn’t possibly survive under the poison fog either.

The trees to resist the poison fog in Mist West would still need to be prepared in advance.

This time, it was a joint effort as Little Demon, along with the Ming Huaxin and Peng Qin families, excavated seedlings lacking purification abilities near the Demon Territory.

A few Beast Husbands were tasked with moving the trees to the realm for planting.

Xiao Jinsheng had a different task.

She ascended to the summit of the Star Stone Mine within the realm, sat cross-legged, resting her chin in thought.

Her Plundering Superpower had broken through to Thirteen Stars during the Star Stone Mine relocation. She was certain the black-and-white visions she saw weren’t illusions.

There was also that dull, bell-like echoing sound.

Xiao Jinsheng was sure it wasn’t an auditory hallucination either.

Yet the reason behind why she could see and hear these things puzzled her deeply.

Was it something everyone experienced upon reaching Thirteen Stars?

Or was it due to some other reason?

She placed her palm on the Star Stone Mine, trying to replicate the sensation she had underground.

But apart from the surging Star Stone Energy madly flooding into her, she found nothing else.

Feeling slightly deflated, Xiao Jinsheng thought of how she’d reached Thirteen Stars, and yet the Terminal hadn’t gone after her.

Growing bolder, she simply lay down on the Star Stone Mine to absorb its energy, aiming to push her Superpower Level to Fourteen Stars.

With ample energy, advancing her Superpower Level was just a matter of time.

Time ticked away second by second.

Lou Yan Zhi piloted his spaceship, breaking through the Insect Clan’s defenses, and surged into the Mist Continent’s skies.

Just as he was about to land, he sensed the outermost layer of mist in this world weakening his Superpower Level.

Twenty Stars, Nineteen Stars, Eighteen Stars...

Until his Superpower Level dropped to Fifteen Stars, the mist around him finally dissipated.

"Restriction." Lou Yan Zhi observed the dispersing white mist and noticed that the Insect Clan descending onto the Mist Continent also had their Superpower Levels suppressed. He understood immediately.

No wonder the Insect Clan had shifted battlefields because of the Mist Continent.

A world consciousness capable of defending itself even in slumber—such planets were indeed rare in the Interstellar World.

Rather than seeming like science fiction,

this restriction led Lou Yan Zhi to believe the Mist Continent had more in common with the Cultivation World from which he came.
