Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands

Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Chapter 50: You Said You’d Marry Me When We Grow Up

"Where exactly are you taking me?" Xiao Jinsheng demanded.

"Home." Li tilted his head and pressed a light kiss near her ear.

When the surrounding darkness receded, and Xiao Jinsheng adjusted to the environment, she raised her eyes and saw herself standing in an opulent palace.

The windows were carved from gemstones, the floor paved with crystal cores, and the path through the palace was lit entirely by luminous pearls.

In the bedchamber where Li led Xiao Jinsheng, the centerpiece was a three-meter-wide bed draped with diamond-studded curtains.

Even the shimmering brocade quilt was adorned with pearls and crystals.

"Welcome home." Li circled to stand in front of Xiao Jinsheng, gently lifting her hand. "Everything here was prepared for you. Do you like it?"

"It’s stunning and lavish." Xiao Jinsheng clicked her tongue. "But don’t you think sleeping on such a bed is too glaring and uncomfortable?"

"Wait, why am I even talking to you about this?" Xiao Jinsheng snapped back to her senses. "Who gave you the right to kidnap me? Take me back right now!"

"Take you back for what? So you can roam around in hardship with those five ex-husbands of yours, sleep in crumbling houses, eat canned trash, and risk your life fighting off Fog Corpses?" Li mocked.

"Stop thinking about them." Li pushed Xiao Jinsheng into a chair in front of a desk and once again placed five divorce agreements on the table. "Didn’t you want a divorce with all of them?"

"Sign your name on these, and I’ll handle the negotiations with your five ex-husbands."

"The moment you sign, we’ll get married right away."

"I’ll agree to the divorce, but only if you marry me first. Then I’ll sign the papers." Xiao Jinsheng stood her ground without backing down.

Hearing this, Li tilted her chin up with his finger, his crimson eyes gazing down at her. "That won’t work. If we’re already married, I’d have no choice but to listen to you. If you changed your mind and refused to divorce, I’d be completely powerless."

"Hmph." Xiao Jinsheng huffed angrily and turned her head away, showing him her back.

"If you don’t want to sign now, that’s fine. I can give you time to think it over and sign later."

Li pushed the divorce agreements closer to Xiao Jinsheng. "My terms remain unchanged. You must divorce them first before we marry."

"I don’t want to talk to you right now." Xiao Jinsheng said coldly.

"Alright then." Li replied with a chuckle. "If you won’t talk to me, you can wander around the house for now. As the lady of the house, it wouldn’t do for you not to know your own home."
