Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands

Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Please Divorce

Xiao Jinsheng: Brother, stop messing around. Are you really planning to take on five of them by yourself?

With both hands being pulled by Li and Huaiqing respectively, Xiao Jinsheng lowered her head as if in repentance, but in truth, Star Map was bombarding Li with frantic messages.

Xiao Jinsheng: I’m not divorced yet, and you seriously came knocking?

Li: Why the rush? I already said I didn’t come here to join this family.

Xiao Jinsheng: You came here to tear this family apart!

Li: Great idea, darling, thanks for the reminder.

Li placed a document on the coffee table, the corner of his lips lifting slightly beneath his mask. "Thank you for taking care of her all these years."

"Name your price."

"Crystal Core? Star Stone? Supplies? Power?" Taking the dominant position, Li sat at the head seat, his posture arrogant and his crimson eyes dismissive. "Any wish you have can be voiced right now."

"Of course, the premise is that you sign this document first."

"What document?" Xiao Jinsheng asked curiously, reaching out to pick up the document from the table—only to be utterly dumbfounded.

"A divorce agreement." Seeing the document’s contents, Yu Yunxiao instantly exploded: "Who the hell are you to meddle in this? You’ve overstepped your bounds!"

Mo Jiao snatched the document from Xiao Jinsheng’s hands and directly flung it at Li’s face. "Get out."

Li easily caught the file hurled at him. Smiling, he stood up. "I hope you all show some tact while I’m still talking politely."

"So arrogant." Mo Jiao sneered, and black mist instantly spread throughout the room.

Li smirked in disdain, raised his hand, and pressed down lightly. The overwhelming black mist immediately surged outward.

With a deafening "bang," everything on the first floor was obliterated into dust by the explosion of black mist.

Except for the bouquet of roses Li had brought and the divorce agreement that fluttered down to the feet of the five beast husbands were perfectly intact.

"Ten Stars." Que Zelian’s gaze darkened as a tempest instantly rose within the room.

Huaiqing removed his glasses, Su Ye drew his blade, and Yu Yunxiao clung tightly to Xiao Jinsheng, refusing to let go.

Li stood alone against five, his expression composed as he mocked, "Want to solve this with violence? Sure, but just the five of you? Don’t you need to call in reinforcements?"

Seeing the escalating murderous tension on both sides, Xiao Jinsheng rushed into the center and slapped one arm on each person.

She then dealt Li five slaps in quick succession.

"No internal fighting!" Xiao Jinsheng roared.

"Internal fighting? Aren’t we, a hubby-wife team, working together against outsiders?" Li countered.

Yu Yunxiao’s gaze turned fierce. "Do you have no shame? Is she even your wife?"

"Once you all get divorced, you’re welcome to attend my wedding with Xiao Jinsheng." Li pulled Xiao Jinsheng into his arms with a grin. "I’ll let you sit at the ex-husbands’ table."

"Shut up!" Xiao Jinsheng stomped on his foot furiously.

Ever since Li said last night he was coming to see her, she knew this bastard was here to stir up trouble.

With Xiao Jinsheng bearing the weight of being at the center of a one-against-five battlefield, she went from calming the left side to placating the right, managing—after immense effort—to get the two sides to stand peacefully together to talk things out.

Why were they standing, you ask? On the first floor, aside from the walls, everything—including windows and doors—had turned into powder.

"Care to explain?" Mo Jiao’s violet eyes glinted faintly as he gazed at Xiao Jinsheng.

"Explain what? She wants to divorce you all and immediately marry me. Is that so hard to grasp?" Li interjected.

"It’s not your turn to speak yet." Xiao Jinsheng glared at Li.

Li nodded obediently, and the ruby adorning his Demon Mask swayed slightly. He raised his hand to mimic zipping his lips and, true to his gesture, didn’t speak further, simply standing aside quietly.

At this point, Xiao Jinsheng could only bite the bullet and recount how she had first crossed paths with Li.

"So back then, when we couldn’t find you nearby, it turns out you were taken away by him," Su Ye’s gaze sharpened as it fixed on Li. noveldrama

Li returned his provocative look and nudged Xiao Jinsheng’s shoulder with his hand.

"What?" Xiao Jinsheng asked in confusion.

Li gestured to his tightly shut lips, while Star Map kept sending messages.

Li: Is it my turn to speak now?

Xiao Jinsheng stared at the message in silent frustration, so annoyed she felt like rolling her eyes.

Xiao Jinsheng: Now you ask me? I told you not to come! Told you not to come! Why couldn’t you just listen?

Li: So, can I speak?

Xiao Jinsheng: Speak, speak! If you’ve got crap to say, spit it out!

Li: Wonderful. Permission to vent granted.

Li chuckled softly and was about to say something to Su Ye when Xiao Jinsheng lunged forward and clamped her hand over his mouth.

"Shut up." Xiao Jinsheng physically silenced him. Li, smiling, wrapped his arm around her waist without attempting to resist.

Just as Xiao Jinsheng began to wonder why Li was being oddly cooperative, she felt the scorching gazes of her five beast husbands fixate on her.

"Didn’t you say this was only your second meeting with him?" Mo Jiao sneered. "Judging by this level of intimacy, it’s clearly closer than my relationship with you as the rightful Beast Husband."

"Your chemistry’s so good, even I want to ship you two," Yu Yunxiao smirked sarcastically.

"Seems like we’re the unnecessary ones." Huaiqing said coldly.

At this moment, among the five beast husbands, only Que Zelian and Su Ye refrained from throwing cold jabs.

But the silence of these two was more unsettling to Xiao Jinsheng than direct accusations.

Xiao Jinsheng cautiously turned her head, only to see Su Ye staring at Li’s hand on her waist, his golden eyes blazing with fury.

She quickly brushed off Li’s hand.

When she glanced at Que Zelian, his face was unreadable, and he directly averted his gaze when their eyes met.

Xiao Jinsheng felt her heart crumble into pieces.

Her fleet of five ships had finally capsized.

Xiao Jinsheng: You tricked me!

Though they’d only met twice, Li’s personality was clearly not one that played by the rules.

Sure enough, his earlier act of obedience had been nothing but a calculated move.

Li: I’m just being myself, darling. No pretending here~

Xiao Jinsheng: Pretend?! Do you not understand human words?

Li: Mm-hm ^_^

"I won’t divorce them." Xiao Jinsheng picked up the five divorce agreements and stuffed them back into Li’s hands.

Holding the stack of torn documents, a dark glint flashed briefly in Li’s eyes before his smile returned. "Alright then, if you’d rather keep some lovers on the side, I believe you’ll come back to me once you tire of them."

Xiao Jinsheng’s headache worsened, and she wished she could get her hands on some 502 glue to seal Li’s mouth shut.

"Reversed Celestial Spirit." Yu Yunxiao’s expression shifted. "Are you suffering from some sort of delusional disorder? I can help fix that brain of yours."

"Let’s not even talk about the fact that we five are legally married to her. Just based on the sequence of Contractual Totems, you definitely don’t have the right to speak out of turn here." Yu Yunxiao continued.

Su Ye nodded in agreement. "If we’re ranking based on Contractual Totems, status should be determined according to their order."

With that, Su Ye turned to Que Zelian. "What do you think?"

Que Zelian remained silent.

"I agree." Mo Jiao’s laugh was icy as he said, "The ranking among beast husbands is indeed based on the order of Contractual Totems."

"I have no objections to ranking according to the Contractual Totems." Li replied calmly.

However, the reactions of Su Ye and his companions revealed a sense of unease.

Particularly when their gaze fell on Que Zelian, who had remained tight-lipped, their hearts sank even further.

Su Ye’s expression was full of shock as he turned to Que Zelian. "You weren’t the first to form a contract?"

"I wasn’t." Que Zelian sighed.

In an instant, the five beast husbands directed their gaze back to Xiao Jinsheng.

Xiao Jinsheng was completely dumbfounded. Li hooked a finger around the ponytail tied high on her head, leaning down to plant a soft kiss on the back of her neck.

Looking at the dark red Demon Totem manifesting on the nape of Xiao Jinsheng’s neck, Li remarked casually, "Oh my, when it comes to ranking among beast husbands, it turns out I’m actually the most senior."

"Don’t you agree, my dear ex-husbands?"

Xiao Jinsheng’s heart sank into despair as black mist enveloped the room, fierce winds howled, vines twisted, and flames erupted.

Multiple Attack Superpowers bypassed Xiao Jinsheng and surged toward Li.

Unfazed, Li smiled faintly, wrapped his arms tightly around Xiao Jinsheng, and vanished instantly before everyone’s eyes.

"Let me go!" Xiao Jinsheng protested as she saw nothing but darkness, feeling herself held tightly by Li as they moved at a high velocity.

The extreme speed made her head spin.

Li gently covered her eyes with his hand and leaned close to her face, his voice soft. "If you’re feeling dizzy, don’t look. We’ll be there soon."
