Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge-Chapter 27 - Dragon King

Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Dragon King

Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Dragon King

Regaining her senses, Ji Wanwan’s expression turned grave, “I’ll go take a look, Ah Li, just wait for me outside.”

The situation inside the room was unclear, and Ah Li had no superpowers to rely on, so she couldn’t be allowed to take risks recklessly.

Ji Wanwan entered Room 201 alone.

The bathroom door was open, and a large amount of water was pouring out from within.

Not wanting to see something she shouldn’t, Ji Wanwan stood at the door and called out first, “Senior?”

There was no response.

Ji Wanwan’s brow furrowed deeply, and she rushed into the bathroom.

At that moment, Xu Siming was soaking naked in the bathtub, his entire body, including his head, submerged in water almost as high as Ji Wanwan’s chest.

Not only that, Xu Siming’s eyes were tightly closed without any sign of struggle.

It was as if he had choked.

In fact, Ji Wanwan really did think that Xu Siming might have drowned.

Her face darkened, she took a deep breath, dived into the water, swam to Xu Siming, and reached out to turn off the bathtub’s faucet.

But when she reached out, Ji Wanwan found that the faucet wasn’t even turned on.

So where was all this water coming from?

Thinking of Xu Siming’s Water Elemental Superpower, Ji Wanwan placed her hands on his shoulders and shook him vigorously, trying to wake him up…

…

Twenty minutes earlier.

Xu Siming returned to his room, planning to take a bath to wash off the bloodstains.

While filling the tub with water, he reminisced about the recent combat, and the thought of those two troublesome zombies still sent shivers down his spine.

If that bat-like zombie had also teleported over, he didn’t even want to contemplate the outcome.

He also thought about the superpower he’d come to understand.

How had he grasped it just now?

It seemed that the instant he saw Ji Wanwan in dire straits, he heard a sacred yet desolate voice whispering in his ear, “Water Elemental Superpower—Awaken.”

With the voice came a refreshing comfort all over his body, causing him to shiver with delight. If he had to describe it, it was simply exhilarating.

Remembering how Ji Wanwan had gone all out to save him, Xu Siming felt somewhat dissatisfied with his superpower, which seemed to be good for nothing but playing with water.

Seeing the tub filled with water, Xu Siming turned off the tap and immersed himself in the warm bathwater.

He closed his eyes to relax, thinking to himself:

This is so comfortable…

Why haven’t I noticed how comfortable water can be before…

If only I could grasp another superpower, then I could become stronger and prevent today’s scenario from happening again…

“Buzz—”

“Superpower upgraded…”

“Superpower upgraded…”

“Superpower upgraded…”

“…”

“Ugh, ah…”

An intense tearing sensation nearly split Xu Siming’s head open, and in that instant, he couldn’t think of anything else; he could only let himself merge with the water, becoming one with it.

“Superpower upgraded, current Superpower Level 9.”

Following the last announcement, Xu Siming fainted due to the overpowering impact.

In his dazed state, Xu Siming felt himself being shaken back and forth.

He wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids were abnormally heavy.

Suddenly, the uncomfortable shaking stopped, but not long thereafter—

“Smack!”

A sharp pain stung his cheek.

Xu Siming’s brows furrowed, and he abruptly opened his eyes.

In the water, a faint blue light flashed by, and the turbulent current finally calmed.

Ji Wanwan froze.

Why did Xu Siming’s eyes change color?

He likewise was taken aback, “Schoo… cough cough…”

Unaware he was still underwater, Xu Siming opened his mouth, and a rush of water filled his nostrils and mouth, nearly causing him to faint again from choking.

Seeing Xu Siming choking, Ji Wanwan couldn’t help but curl her lips in schadenfreude.

Deserved!

Play with water, will you!

She took hold of one of Xu Siming’s arms and led him to stand up from the water.

With a splash, the two emerged from the water.

Ji Wanwan took a deep breath of air, feeling as if she had come back to life.

After coughing his brains out, Xu Siming, who had finally recovered, looked around at the water filling the room and his brain short-circuited.

“What’s this? What happened?”

Ji Wanwan rolled her eyes in annoyance, “You’re the Dragon King, and you’re asking me?”

Xu Siming: “…”

After realizing what had happened, Xu Siming couldn’t help but laugh.

He raised his hand and instantly gathered the surging water into a small orb in the palm of his hand.

“Pop…”

As he closed his hand into a fist, the small orb of water disappeared.

Seeing the room return to normal in an instant, without even a trace of a water stain, Ji Wanwan was taken aback.

Why did it seem like Xu Siming had gotten stronger?

“Did you level up?”

Xu Siming nodded slightly, “Yeah, Level 9 now.”

“What?!” Ji Wanwan was struck as if by lightning, “How did you level up?”

Seeing Ji Wanwan’s incredulous look, Xu Siming’s ears turned red, and he smiled sheepishly, “Just… took a bath and leveled up.”

Although he knew it sounded a bit conceited, it was the truth.

Xu Siming spread his hands, “I don’t know why, I just leveled up.”

This time, it was Ji Wanwan’s turn to feel envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Why did she need Combat Value to level up her superpower, but Xu Siming didn’t?

[System, can you explain this to me?]

System: [Host’s superpower is different from the superpowers of the wider world, so the leveling rules are also different from those of the wider world’s superpowers.]

Ji Wanwan: [What are the wider world’s rules?]

System: [The System cannot answer this question, please explore on your own, Host.]

Ji Wanwan: [Hmph, just as I thought, you don’t know! Kneel and accept defeat!]

System: […]

“Cough, cough…” Seeing Ji Wanwan’s expression full of silent grievances, Xu Siming felt inexplicably joyful.

He teased with a chuckle, “What’s the matter? Are you angry?”

She wasn’t upset until he brought it up, and now Ji Wanwan was even more irked.

Her gaze dropped, fixing on a certain part of the naked man before her, and with a grinding teeth, she snorted a laugh, “Dragon King, put on some pants before you strut around!”

…

An odd silence fell upon the air.

Xu Siming’s smile stiffened, and his entire face turned bright red almost instantly.

The next second.

Xu Siming raised his hand, and a cool breeze swept past, carrying Ji Wanwan out to the bathroom door with a mist of water.

“Bang!”

Watching the bathroom door get closed, Ji Wanwan laughed out loud.

“Dragon King! Remember to come to the operating room at 7 pm, I have something to tell you!”

From inside the door, Xu Siming’s voice, a mix of frustration and embarrassed anger, came through: “Get out!!!”

Outside Room 206.

Xia Li watched dumbfounded as the water in the corridor disappeared in an instant, leaving no water stains behind, and she stood rooted to the spot.

What was going on?

It wasn’t long before she heard Xu Siming’s angry voice from inside the room.

Just as she was about to go in and check, Ji Wanwan came out with a grin on her face.

That expression?

Why did it seem like she was so happy?

Xia Li, who was out of the loop, asked, “Wanwan, what happened?”

Ji Wanwan knew that things like superpowers, Evolved Zombies, and Crystal Cores couldn’t be explained in a few words, so she said to Xia Li, “Ah Li, recently Xu Siming and I have discovered some things.

At 7 pm, I want to hold a small meeting in the operating room to share our findings with a few close friends. The more we know, the better we can be prepared.”

Xia Li immediately understood Ji Wanwan’s intention, “Okay, see you tonight.”
