Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands

Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Insect Clan’s Favorite Dream

Caicai was drenched in sweat, awkwardly smiling: "It’s not about letting you pick one. It’s a task identity—something you need to... achieve."

"What?" Xiao Jinsheng was shocked.

She pointed at Lou Yan Zhi with a trembling hand: "He only has one identity, Long Aotian. But why do I..."

She hesitated as she continued, unsure, then counted again and said, "Why do I need to complete eleven!"

"I didn’t expect this either," Caicai said, aggrieved. "The Main God detected that you have the ability, so it assigned you tasks you can accomplish."

"Likewise, the rewards you’ll receive are very generous."

"For each of the eleven identities you fulfill, you’ll be able to claim a Main God’s main storyline reward package."

"I see that you’ve already completed two. Would you like to claim them and take a look?" Caicai asked.

"Which two identities can I complete?" Xiao Jinsheng asked curiously.

"The Demon Lord and the Deep Sea Lord," Caicai replied.

"Get them to step down and make you the Lord—that’s how you finish the task," Caicai said while glancing at Li and Shi Xie.

"Got it." Xiao Jinsheng nodded in understanding.

She turned to Li and Shi Xie: "Because your current identities are unique, you can also be considered local overlords."

"Combining the system’s inclination to assign Long Aotian-style tasks with my current situation, it seems like it wants me to follow the route of dominating the Mist Continent—or rather, dominating the universe."

So she decided to start with smaller goals first.

To fully take over the Demon Territory and the ocean.

The other identities remained unclear for now.

But Xiao Jinsheng understood the immediate task: make Li and Shi Xie step down so she could become the Lord.

The next step was to make the Terminal relinquish its position.

To be honest, Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

Shi Xie looked at her with a smile and said, "Actually, you’re already the Deep Sea Lord."

"Hmm?" Xiao Jinsheng asked in confusion.

Shi Xie gestured for her to take out the necklace that held her rings.

She had too many rings. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

She couldn’t wear them all on her fingers.

So she strung them together as a necklace.

The main display was practicality.

Shi Xie lightly tapped his finger.

Frost bloomed on the Ice Blue Ring, radiating a soft glow in Xiao Jinsheng’s hands.

"The most precious thing in the deep sea is this," Shi Xie explained. "Honestly, I don’t even know what the Deep Sea Lord is supposed to do."

"I just happened to discover a ruin in the Deep Sea wasteland and felt the ring summoning me."

After obtaining the ring, all he figured out was one use for the Ice Frost Ring.

It could freely control the waters of all oceans.

"Just form a contract," Caicai, assisted by her system, explained to Xiao Jinsheng. "Once you fully activate this ring and become the Deep Sea Lord, you’ll be able to control the Mist Continent’s oceans, just like the Terminal."

After explaining, Caicai quickly added, "I only just learned about this too. I used to be at version 1.0, but now I’m 2.0."

Previously, her Host wasn’t Xiao Jinsheng.

That’s why her access to information about the Mist Continent was limited.

Now that Xiao Jinsheng was her Host and she had upgraded, her understanding of the Mist Continent had significantly deepened.

"The real Demon Territory isn’t the Mist Continent; it’s actually accessed via my Domain as a portal," Li said.

He asked, "If she becomes the Demon Lord and establishes contact with the demons, wouldn’t it eliminate the need for binding contracts and allow the demons free access to the Realm?"

"Theoretically, it’s possible," Caicai nodded.

"Then let’s try!" Li said excitedly, tugging Xiao Jinsheng along. "Let the centenarian Little Demon enter the Realm to plant trees."

Previously, they had been vexed because the Little Demons couldn’t enter the Realm.

The Purification Trees could only be cultivated in spaces or realms bound to Xiao Jinsheng.

Now that a solution seemed possible, Li was even more eager than Xiao Jinsheng for her to become the Demon Lord.

This was different from Shi Xie’s situation.

The demons accessed the Mist Continent through Li’s Domain as a portal.

Thus, becoming the Demon Lord involved making a deal with the previous Lord.

"Wouldn’t that be making a deal with demons?" Xiao Jinsheng suddenly realized.

"I am a demon," Li said with a smile, his red eyes gleaming.

"Making a deal with a demon is no easy feat. Are you ready?" Li whispered darkly.

"What kind of deal? Don’t take away my life, okay?" Xiao Jinsheng whispered back.

Li’s attempt to create a sinister atmosphere was instantly shattered by her remark.

He chuckled and ruffled her hair, responding, "The deal is that I’ll offer you my soul."

"Shouldn’t it be the other way around?" Xiao Jinsheng tilted her head.

Based on the typical demon trope.

Shouldn’t she be the one offering her soul to him?

"Right now, I’m the Demon Lord, so I set the rules for the deal."

Li lowered his head, pressing his forehead against hers, "In the future, when you’re the Demon Lord, you’ll be the one calling the shots."

The other Beast Husbands turned their faces away, unwilling to witness the annoying love-struck rival.

He really had a knack for stealing Xiao Jinsheng’s attention whenever he had the chance.

"Congratulations, Lord." An old man emerged from a wall and bowed respectfully to Xiao Jinsheng, smiling warmly, "You are the second Demon Lord of the Demon Territory."

"You were the first?" Xiao Jinsheng asked in surprise, looking at Li.

"Of course." Li raised his chin with a grin, "I was the first to discover the existence of the Demon Territory."

The Otherworld had been uncovered by him, so becoming its first Lord was only natural.

"Host, you now have two main storyline reward packages. Would you like to open them?" Caicai flew up excitedly to Xiao Jinsheng.

The sweet potato avatar wasn’t very agile.

So she reverted to her leek appearance.

Caicai realized that this longer-limbed form suited her better.

"No rush," Xiao Jinsheng said, looking at the remaining nine identities and asking, "I’m still curious—what’s the rationale for these identities?"

Since the Demon Lord and Deep Sea Lord were tied to her Beast Husbands’ uniqueness,

Were the rest also derived from her Beast Husbands’ traits and connected to her main storyline tasks?

"Due to your superpower of plunder, you can copy their superpowers."

"So the system automatically matches these task identities, essentially requiring you to elevate these superpowers to their ultimate forms."

"Absolute control over aerial combat, technological innovation, mastery of illusion abilities, and more."

As Caicai explained, Xiao Jinsheng realized that each identity corresponded in some way to her Beast Husbands’ abilities.

She focused on the Yin Yang Realm and asked, "What about this one? Caicai, do you know who it corresponds to?"

"Yu Yunxiao." Caicai replied, "He’s dual-souled—one bright, one dark—hence Yin Yang Realm." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"I understand all of this," Xiao Jinsheng nodded.

She pointed to Sword Master and asked Caicai, "But why does the Sword Master identity appear here?"

She used guns and blades.

But not swords.

"It’s influenced by the data similarity between you and Lou Yan Zhi," Caicai answered. "With similar data, if he can be the Sword Master, you certainly can’t lose. You have to be the Sword Master too!"

Xiao Jinsheng: "...Thanks, system."

She was supposed to become the Sword Master.

The swordsmanship from the Cultivation World—yet she was stuck in the Mist Continent. How was she supposed to learn it!

"Fellow cultivator, do you require assistance in cultivation?" Lou Yan Zhi leaned against the window frame, his arm resting on his sword hilt, and smiled lightly at Xiao Jinsheng.

Staring at her eleven required identities, Xiao Jinsheng felt her vision darken.

The others could align with her Beast Husbands.

Sword Master’s task—well, there was a Sword Cultivator right here.

But...

Xiao Jinsheng’s gaze landed on Cosmic Dominator.

"The system doesn’t seriously want me to conquer the universe, does it?" Xiao Jinsheng’s voice trembled.

Even dreaming, she couldn’t imagine such a thing.

Conquering the universe—ah, that’s the Insect Clan’s favorite daydream.
