After returning to the hotel, Liu Yun shed all her disguises.
Wearing only a short-sleeved top on her upper body, she revealed large patches of fair, jade-like skin, with a certain area appearing rather prominent.
When she walked up to the bathroom, she realized that a certain someone was staring straight at her…
Seeing this, Liu Yun immediately halted her steps.
Faced with the hotel bathroom’s frosted glass, a hint of embarrassment involuntarily flashed across her face.
After hesitating for a while, Liu Yun finally turned her head, putting on what she thought was a fierce expression as she said to the young man, “I—I want to take a shower. You get out first.”
However, in Lin Xiu’s eyes, her appearance was like a tigress tied up with ropes—no menace at all, only cuteness remaining.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiu chuckled lightly, tilted his head, and said, “Why? If you want to shower, just go ahead. Don’t worry, Sister Yun, I absolutely won’t peek. Besides, I wouldn’t kick you out if I were taking a shower, you know?”
Hearing this, Liu Yun felt both angry and helpless.
As if she could rest easy! This guy’s credibility with her was downright negative!
But since he wouldn’t leave, there was nothing she could do. In this situation, Liu Yun could only bite her lip and glare straight at the youth.
She had no idea that such a gaze was just asking for trouble.
Lin Xiu considered himself a proper person, but if his “little brother” wanted to salute, there was nothing he could do, so he simply averted his eyes and said, “Fine, fine, I’ll go out first.”
As he spoke, Lin Xiu lazily walked out of the room.
Seeing this, Liu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, although frosted glass could block sight, it couldn’t completely isolate it. Liu Yun simply couldn’t bring herself to bathe inside like that—this had nothing to do with being dramatic or not.
Once the door to the room closed, Liu Yun finally walked up to the bathroom.
But, since she’d grown used to being lazy at home, she’d developed a bad habit—she subconsciously took off her T-shirt outside the bathroom.
And then…
“Sister Yun, I forgot my phone…”
With the sound of the door unlocking, the youth walked in unguardedly, and the words in his mouth were cut short.
Liu Yun’s delicate body froze.
She slowly turned her head to look at the wide-eyed youth, and in an instant, her pretty face turned as red as a ripe apple.
“Get—get out!”
With an embarrassed and angry shout, her hands covering her chest, Lin Xiu finally came to his senses as if waking from a dream. He rubbed his nose and said, “Sorry…”
As he spoke, he hurriedly turned and left, closing the door behind him.
After a long while, Lin Xiu leaned against the door, his mind still occupied by that jade-like, wicked sight.
He even subconsciously reached out and made a measuring gesture.
Hmm, seems like the assets are still expanding. Very nice…
Meanwhile, Liu Yun hid her body under the shower, the blush on her petite face refusing to fade.
She felt like she must’ve used up all her luck in eight lifetimes to have run into someone like Lin Xiu.
But thinking about what just happened, she couldn’t entirely blame him.
It was true: people should develop good habits. She was determined to get rid of this bad one…
Yet while Liu Yun was awkwardly struggling with how to face Lin Xiu, she didn’t realize that danger was quietly approaching.
“Bai Lang, are you sure that woman’s ability value is even higher than S-rank?”
At that moment, by the hotel elevator, several men spoke in low voices.
“Boss, I’m certain. That woman disguised as a man is definitely top tier.
I’ve never seen an ability user with such a dense energy signature!
And that woman still can’t use that power properly.
It’s a pity there was another annoying guy with her, otherwise I would’ve already made a move.”
The man addressed as “Boss” nodded at this, excitement flashing in his eyes.
“If that’s the case, let’s go grab that woman right now.
Once we’re done enjoying her, we’ll drain her ability value dry!
Hurry up and lead the way.”
With that, the group slowly approached the room where Liu Yun was staying.
Clearly, they came prepared.
But what they didn’t expect was that Lin Xiu was still squatting outside the door, conflicted about whether he should sneak back in for another peek.
When he saw the approaching group, his brow immediately arched in interest.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, I wasn’t even looking for you, but you rats came right to my door?”
That’s right—there were many inexplicable things in this world, and many extraordinary people hiding in the blind spots of public perception.
They often possessed abilities unheard of by ordinary folk, known to those in the know as Ability Users! For example, Lin Xiu—his power was the Three-legged Golden Crow…
But there is good and evil in the world, and Ability Users are no exception.
Some lose all sense of morals after awakening their powers and become inflated with ego.
They start committing all sorts of misdeeds, using any means necessary to grow stronger.
This is how the terrifying organizations of Ability Users came about, though there are far more reasons for joining than just these…
Regardless, Lin Xiu liked to call them “rats”—after all, they were all things that couldn’t see the light of day!
The men’s expressions changed slightly at Lin Xiu’s words.
After exchanging glances, their faces turned fierce and they arrogantly said, “Kid, you’re an Ability User too, huh? I won’t waste words with you—if you know what’s good for you, hand over that chick and we’ll spare your life.”
As he spoke, the man called Bai Lang gave a low shout.
“Metamorphosis!”
In the next instant, his muscles began to swell, and disgusting hair sprouted all over his body.
When his clothes were all torn apart, revealing densely veined, dark purple muscles, the mutation finally stopped.
But his head no longer looked human at all. Fangs, beast ears—he had completely become like a beastman from a novel!
Lin Xiu frowned at the sight, his expression becoming a bit more serious.
He hadn’t expected to encounter such tough guys as soon as he got to Sanya.
That woman really was a walking “fruit of life”—just like in the underground garage, everyone wanted a bite…
“I’ll give your words back to you: if you leave now, I might consider sparing your lives.”
Hearing this, the group was briefly stunned, but then they all burst out laughing in disdain.
“Such arrogance! Hah!”
As Bai Lang spoke, he crouched lower, and in the next moment, like a cannonball, he left several claw marks on the ground and charged at Lin Xiu, nearly twenty centimeters of razor-sharp beast claws aimed straight at Lin Xiu’s heart!
Lin Xiu’s gaze sharpened, and in the next instant, the Three-legged Golden Crow transformed into a battle blade, blocking the enemy’s claws with a harsh clash!
“Heh, you’ve got some skill. No wonder you’re so cocky!”
Bai Lang was a little surprised. This guy looked young, yet reacted so quickly and had decent strength.
But Lin Xiu just sneered and replied coolly, “For cleaning up trash like you, my skills are more than enough. So, want to come at me all together?”
The others, who had been watching, all wore expressions of anger after hearing Lin Xiu’s words.
“Arrogant brat who doesn’t know his limits! If you want to die, we’ll oblige you!”
With that, they all unleashed their powers and attacked Lin Xiu!
The reason for their recklessness wasn’t just Lin Xiu’s provocation—another reason was that they didn’t want to attract the attention of local ability enforcers.
They had to finish this quickly, or they’d end up in real trouble.
Of course, among these people, there’s always someone who thinks they’re clever.
One guy with glasses took advantage of everyone’s distraction, pushed up his glasses slyly, and his body started to turn transparent as he slipped quietly toward the room…
The author doesn’t know if everyone likes the Ability User plotline.
If not, there will be less of it in the future. No matter what, the daily slice-of-life parts are still the main focus.
