Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Family Head, Who Are We Hitting This Time

"What makes you think that if everyone else is gone and only I’m left, I’ll live well?"

"What gives you the right! What makes you think so! Tell me—"

"Xiaoxiao, I..." Xiao Jinsheng felt his defenses against revealing his heart collapse. Through Huaiqing’s thoughts, he had already seen the prophecy Huaiqing had glimpsed.

Huaiqing reached out frantically, clearly at a loss, not knowing how to comfort Xiao Jinsheng in that moment.

"It’s all fake. Prophecies aren’t necessarily true." In the end, Huaiqing tried to patch things up awkwardly.

Xiao Jinsheng looked up, her eyes red, and demanded in frustration, "If it’s fake, then why did you still feel the need to hide it from me?"

The commotion by the staircase had also drawn the attention of others.

Li saw Xiao Jinsheng crying and immediately darkened his expression, suppressing his anger as he glared at Huaiqing, "You made her upset?"

"If you cry too much, the tears will burn your face." Yu Yunxiao grabbed Xiao Jinsheng’s hand and placed it on his cat ears. "If you stop crying, I might reluctantly let you touch my cat ears to cheer up."

"Beep beep." Su Ye discreetly poked Xiao Jinsheng’s arm and said, "We’re offering Beast Husband substitutes for hire over here."

"Keep crying, cry louder." Mo Jiao wiped a tear off Xiao Jinsheng’s chin with the pad of his finger and sneered, "Cry long enough and you might even cry yourself a big snot bubble."

Xiao Jinsheng’s sobbing paused. Both angry and speechless, she glared at Mo Jiao.

Even at a time like this.

As soon as Mo Jiao spoke.

If there were something within reach.

She would definitely crack a grapefruit peel over Mo Jiao’s head.

"Being angry is bad for your health," Shi Xie gently wiped Xiao Jinsheng’s face, his tone considerate. "Whatever you want to do, Female Master can always ask Little Evil to do it for you."

His ice-blue eyes were cold and dark.

Shi Xie: [If someone displeases you, kill them, simple as that.]

Shi Xie: [Even if it’s a Beast Husband, I can handle them.]

Of course, it’d be better if the contract bond was lifted.

After all, the death of a bonded Beast Husband would result in a loss of spiritual power for the female.

Hearing Shi Xie’s thoughts, Xiao Jinsheng hurriedly grabbed the handkerchief from him and roughly wiped her face.

She immediately pulled herself together, stifling her tears and resetting her emotions.

Fearing even the slightest delay.

Shi Xie might truly go and cut down Huaiqing, the audacious Beast Husband who dared to upset her.

Chen Yunji looked at Xiao Jinsheng with deep concern, silently asking her with his eyes, without uttering a single word.

He quietly reached out and tugged at Xiao Jinsheng’s sleeve, expressing his stand on her side.

But before he could pull twice, his arm was met with a sharp chopping motion.

Xuan Jiu raised a hand and struck Chen Yunji aside, squeezing in himself, eagerly saying, "Family Head, you tell us who to fight this time."

"What’s going on here?" Hearing the commotion downstairs, Que Zelian rushed over in a panic, urgently asking.

He looked at Xiao Jinsheng with concern, then at Huaiqing, who had been chastised by Xiao Jinsheng.

Huaiqing shook his head at him.

Que Zelian’s heart sank instantly.

He realized that the prophecy Huaiqing was hiding had already been discovered by Xiao Jinsheng.

"Little Jin, we can explain." Que Zelian said urgently.

"Alright, I’m listening," Xiao Jinsheng said as she suppressed the urge to cry.

"But before you start, let me tell you something first."

"Earlier, when Caicai returned from the Interstellar World, the Mist Continent had already been invaded by the Insect Clan. It invited me, saying it could safely teleport me to the Interstellar World, leaving this apocalyptic Mist Continent behind, but it could only teleport me alone."

"You can teleport now," Huaiqing said anxiously.

Xiao Jinsheng shot a glare at him, "I already refused Caicai before."

"Yes, when I first bound with the terminal, because of my chaotic memory, I caused a lot of unpleasantness between us."

"I don’t know where you place me in your hearts, or how much I matter to you."

"But in my heart, we’re family."

"Family means going through hardships together."

"I understand your thoughts, you just want me to survive." Xiao Jinsheng looked at Huaiqing.

The prophecy Huaiqing had hidden from her was now fully revealed through the Unity Contract’s mind-reading.

"But for me, I’ve already died once..." Xiao Jinsheng’s expression fell as she simultaneously shut down her mental shields to everyone.

She thought back to her original world.

In that world, she no longer had any family.

She was mistakenly bound by a system and brought here.

Even if the Mist Continent is an apocalypse, it’s also a world where she was given a new life.

She had moved from one familiar place to an entirely foreign world, figuring out how to adapt and live, even forming feelings for people and things.

Such feelings create an incredibly deep bond.

Xiao Jinsheng could understand Huaiqing’s desire for her to live.

Because as long as one lives, there’s still hope.

Living is better than anything.

"But even if I switch to another world, for me, how is it any different from when I crossed over to the Mist Continent?"

"The same dangers, the same need to adapt anew."

"It’s just repeating a way of life I’ve already failed at once."

"You made a decision on my behalf without asking me if I needed it, or if I wanted it."

Grabbing Mo Jiao’s arm, Xiao Jinsheng pulled his sleeve and messily wiped her tears on it.

She puffed her cheeks angrily, glaring at Huaiqing and Que Zelian, "Weren’t you going to explain? I’m listening to your explanation now."

"Each time a Beast Husband dies, my strength grows."

"This prophecy is perfect."

"You might as well all die so I can change worlds and live a life surrounded by many husbands, reliving the past." Xiao Jinsheng said with biting sarcasm.

She sneered coldly, "Of course, that’s just an ideal life."

"If I go alone to the Interstellar World and don’t do well, it’s just dying again in a different place."

She looked at Huaiqing and Que Zelian with a challenging glance, "I wonder if the Underworld exists in this world."

"If the two of you go first, remember to grab some territory for me. I’ll burn extra paper as startup funds for you."

"When I get down there, I can at least be a rich ghost."

Que Zelian and Huaiqing couldn’t answer her provocations.

They knew it was wrong to decide on her behalf like this.

But they... they only wanted her to survive.

From Xiao Jinsheng’s thoughts and the string of biting remarks she’d made, the others pieced together the sequence of events.

Huaiqing had seen through the prophecy Xiao Jinsheng’s death aside with their collective demise.

Since survival was impossible.

Rather than dying in a meaningless, suffocating way, they would rather sacrifice their lives to give Xiao Jinsheng a chance at survival.

It aligned with Huaiqing’s prophecy that each Beast Husband’s death would strengthen Xiao Jinsheng’s abilities.

This would increase her power to protect herself, even without them.

Through the contract’s mind-reading, Xiao Jinsheng indirectly discovered Huaiqing’s intentions to sacrifice them.

Everyone easily accepted the idea in their hearts.

Xiao Jinsheng listened to their thoughts with a darkened expression and sternly warned, "No one is allowed to think that way!"

"Whoever has these thoughts, we’ll divorce right now."

After all, it was only the death of her Beast Husbands that could strengthen her power.

Being willing to sacrifice was one thing, and ensuring Xiao Jinsheng’s survival meant a lot to these several men.

Not divorcing was equally important to them.

Xuan Jiu made it abstract: "Beast Husband sacrifices, mana boundless."

Xiao Jinsheng raised her hand as if to knock him on the head.

But she saw Xuan Jiu clutching his head, quickly shouting, "Aren’t you all curious about this point? Is she the only female like this, or do all females get stronger when their Beast Husbands die?"
