Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands

Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Find an Innocent and Easy to Manipulate

Que Zelian’s fingers lightly caressed her right cheek. Xiao Jinsheng set down the handkerchief she had been using to dab at her lips and suddenly remembered that Li’s hand had also grazed her face not long ago.

She worried whether Li had left some kind of mark on her face.

Forcing herself to remain calm, she tilted her head and asked Que Zelian with a puzzled but smiling expression, "What’s wrong?"

"There’s some dust on your face. Just cleaning it off for you." Que Zelian withdrew his hand and shifted his gaze away from Xiao Jinsheng’s exposed neck on the right, where he had brushed aside her hair.

Xiao Jinsheng’s smeared lipstick—it looked more like it had been smudged by someone else rather than just nervously bitten by herself, at least in Que Zelian’s eyes.

Xiao Jinsheng’s acting skills were excellent, but no matter how composed she appeared on the surface, she couldn’t completely hide her inner unease—or more accurately, her guilty conscience.

Que Zelian wasn’t sure what she had to feel guilty about. Adding to the mystery was how Xiao Jinsheng had fallen from the building and then suddenly reappeared in a high-risk area on the outer perimeter. The whole matter was odd.

But he had looked carefully—there was no Contractual Totem on Xiao Jinsheng’s body.

On the Mist Continent, females and Beastmen would bind themselves together through the terminal, forming a legitimate marital relationship.

And during acts of intimacy, both parties would mark each other with a Contractual Totem.

These Totems varied depending on the Beast Husband and could appear in different locations on the body.

However, there was one universal rule: the totem formed from a female’s first intimate contact with a Beastman would always manifest on the back of her neck.

Even just a simple kiss would cause the Totem to remain on both individuals for twenty-four hours.

But Xiao Jinsheng didn’t know this.

After all, the system had provided her with only the core points of the storyline—mainly details about her eventual demise—leaving many blanks.

The terminal didn’t even explain how females could enhance their spiritual power, let alone go into the nuances of Contractual Totems between men and women.

On the Mist Continent, Fog Corpses that reached 6 Star strength would awaken some human-like cognition.

After Xiao Jinsheng went missing, the five men battled a 6 Star Fog Corpse but didn’t manage to kill it.
