Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands

Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Star Stone Origin

"Are you going to carry me or not?" Xiao Jinsheng clung tightly to his arm, squatting down while holding onto him for leverage, and lifted both her feet off the ground.

Seeing her casually cling to him, Que Zelian bore her entire weight with one hand and even gave her a light swing. "If you don't mind, I can carry you like this to outrun the Fog Corpses."

"I'm just hanging around for fun, don't take it seriously!" Xiao Jinsheng exclaimed in alarm.

"How heavy could she be? If you can't handle it, just forget it." Su Ye stepped forward with his long legs, stretching out a hand toward Xiao Jinsheng. "Come on, I'll carry you."

As soon as Xiao Jinsheng looked at Su Ye, she couldn't forget the skinned rabbit head, drenched in blood, from their first day here.

That memory alone left her instinctively afraid of Su Ye.

Especially now, with his sudden friendliness—a complete change from his usual demeanor. Xiao Jinsheng was suspicious he might be plotting some mischief to mess with her again.

Hurriedly, she leapt down from Que Zelian's hand, intending to evade him.

Que Zelian misunderstood, thinking she was moving toward Su Ye. With a swift motion, he pulled her back into his arms and cradled her princess-style.

His gentle smile met Su Ye's slightly cool golden gaze, and he chuckled lightly. "I'd better do it. After all, I've got experience carrying her while escaping from Fog Corpses."

After saying this, Que Zelian's gaze shifted to the massive saber blade strapped to Su Ye's back. "You'll need both hands free for fighting. If she's with me and we're surrounded by Fog Corpses, I can still ascend into the sky."

"But, with her in your arms, won't drawing your blade during combat pose a risk of accidentally injuring her?"

Xiao Jinsheng silently agreed with Que Zelian's point.

Since childhood, she had a knack for overthinking dangers.

Standing on a rooftop without railings, she'd imagine falling off. Even with railings, she'd worry about them collapsing and then falling.

She could even picture a knife slipping out of her hand while cutting vegetables, the blade striking her foot precisely.

So naturally, the thought of the 2.2-meter-long saber on Su Ye's back filled her with dread.

If danger arose and she stood nearby as Su Ye unsheathed his weapon, one misstep could see that blade slicing right through her.

Scared by her own vivid imagination, Xiao Jinsheng clung tightly to Que Zelian's neck, laughing as she declined. "I think I'll stick with Que Zelian. He has more experience getting me to safety."

"Fair enough." Su Ye suppressed the storm brewing in his golden eyes as he watched their close interaction and turned his head aside, lips pressed tight.

"Told you, she hates you," Mo Jiao snickered, making no effort to hide his mockery as he approached.
