Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands

Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Then Accept Fate (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)

"Xuan Jiu’s superpower is puppet control." Chen Yunji’s words grew increasingly bitter: "And... mind reading."

Xuan Jiu could read minds—this, he had always known.

They had only met two days ago, but he chose to collaborate with Xiao Jinsheng because Xuan Jiu had seen through Xiao Jinsheng and the thoughts of her Beast Husbands.

Xuan Jiu believed that Xiao Jinsheng and her group were trustworthy.

Chen Yunji only knew about Xuan Jiu’s mind-reading ability, but what he didn’t know at the time was that Huaiqing possessed the power of prophecy—and that Huaiqing had foreseen his death, which Xuan Jiu had read from his mind.

"Sorry, I need to return to Cloud Island," Chen Yunji apologized.

Whose life is not a life?

Even if it’s for fighting the Terminal.

But he couldn’t bring himself to live by stepping on the lives of others.

Watching Chen Yunji’s quickly retreating figure, Xiao Jinsheng chased after him: "We can face it together."

"The death Huaiqing foresaw for me—it’s obvious the Terminal will be the one to kill me," Chen Yunji looked down, his voice heavy. "A puppet doesn’t have starstones. A dead body doesn’t have dragon horns."

"Which means, the one who dies in the prophecy is Xuan Jiu’s puppet. And the starstone in the prophecy is most likely also Xuan Jiu’s."

At the start, the starstone Huaiqing saw in his prophecy was at Twelve Stars.

This time, after Huaiqing’s superpower rose to Nine Stars, it was the first time the same prophecy reappeared.

Near the corpse in the prophecy, the starstone he saw was at Ten Stars.

The strength of the starstone matched Xuan Jiu perfectly after he severed his tail and tore out his heart.

"Let’s face it together," Xiao Jinsheng called after him.

"The Terminal’s target is me. You don’t have to get involved," Chen Yunji spoke in disapproval.

"On the Mist Continent, who isn’t a target of the Terminal?" Xiao Jinsheng retorted, then added, "Besides, we’re partners. After collaborating for over three months, we’re still partners."

"As long as the Terminal stands, our partnership won’t end."

"Without my spatial teleportation, you won’t get across the ocean to the Northern Territory in time." Li placed a hand on Xiao Jinsheng’s shoulder and spoke to Chen Yunji.

"If something happens to him on a month-long voyage, I can’t save him," Yu Yunxiao waved a hand dismissively. "Even if my superpower reaches Twelve Stars, healing is still healing—I can only treat injuries, not bring back the dead."

"I can swim for a month in the sea; can you fly in the air for a month?" Shi Xie asked.

"Let’s go together. Perhaps my prophecies can provide some guidance," offered Huaiqing.
