In the midst of the raging storm, the entire isolated island was shrouded in darkness.
Everything was going smoothly.
Staring at the deathly silent village ahead, the shadow felt a surge of joy within his heart.
The ugly village, the nauseating, ignorant villagers, all of it would be completely obliterated.
Humans are so fragile, incompetent, and everything they relied on was aningless in the face of overwhelming power.
But I’m different!
I’ve already felt the wisdom and truth that surpasses everything. I will transcend humanity’s ugly shell, becoming a true, supre being! As long as I can awaken that dormant power, then forget this island, this country, this world will all be mine! By then, all humans will submit to !
However, there’s a tiny issue right now, which is......
The shadow raised his head, looking at the distant glimr of light. It was the only glow from human civilization on the storm-ravaged island. Even though it was weak, to the shadow, it was blindingly bright.
Who would’ve thought that under these circumstances, soone managed to escape unscathed.
Staring at the light, the shadow’s gaze flickered uncertainly. After a mont of silence, the shadow turned around and vanished back into the depths of the forest.
Forget it, let them remain as sacrifices. The entire island has already been destroyed, and there’s no way to contact the outside world. With just a few of them, what can they possibly do?
Let them struggle in despair.
On the isolated island sealed off by the typhoon, sward with zombies and monsters, there’s no way to escape.
In such a scenario, what can they do?
The answer is simple, and that is......
"Co on, let’s get HIGH!"
Duanmu Huai raised his microphone, shouting triumphantly, while the girls in front of him were sprawled on the floor, twisted in unnatural poses, the entire room resembling a wasteland of corpses, too grueso to behold.
"Brother... enough is enough."
Shajuye covered her ears, leaning against the sofa, looking at Duanmu Huai with a face full of hopelessness.
"Let sing one more song! The river flows eastward, ah, the stars in the sky join the Big Dipper—!"
"I, I want to die..."
ijia lay collapsed on the ground, looking as if she was barely breathing. Next to her, Alice Phil and dea were only slightly better... just a little.
This is perfectly normal, for the girls, listening to Duanmu Huai sing was sheer torture, his voice booming like thunder, not hitting a single note, yet he’s singing so cheerfully.
It’s simply a cri!
Once Duanmu Huai finally concluded his joyful singing, the others ran out of the room as if pardoned from death.
"Phew... I swear I’ll never go to karaoke with my brother again."
Shajuye clutched her chest, looking like soone who survived a catastrophe, and the others nodded silently.
"I need to rest a bit, I really can’t take it anymore..."
ijia also raised her hand in a dejected manner, while Alice Phil and dea agreed.
"How about we go soak in the hot springs?"
"I agree...!"
The reason everyone seed so relaxed was all Duanmu Huai’s plan. He didn’t have the slightest intention to investigate the village. After bringing the survivors to the hotel, Duanmu Huai decided to lay siege, no matter what’s happening outside, he’s staying put, let the typhoon pass and wait for rescue, everything else doesn’t matter!
As for whatever the mastermind intends to do, go ahead and do it, I don’t believe you can bring the heavens down.
So...... the group locked the hotel’s doors and windows, and began to enjoy their vacation!
Soak in hot springs, watch movies, play gas, the zombies outside are taken care of by the shadow. Plus, the hotel is well-stocked, no fears of running out of supplies, isn’t this a chance to indulge?
In movies, places that indulge in a false sense of security due to ample supplies often get breached from within, like zombies sneaking in, or soone getting infected, then causing chaos and killing the others blah blah blah. But unfortunately, that’s just movies, not reality.
Reality is eating hotpot and singing, then continuing with music and dance. Anyway, this is how things are, what else can they do?
No one really had any complaints. Although the outside environnt is terrible now, they need to relax, so singing and dancing isn’t out of the question.
But the problem is...... Duanmu Huai sings too awfully!
Unbearable, completely unbearable!
The girls almost fled from the room, only relaxing once they entered the hot springs.
"Honestly, I didn’t know my brother’s singing is this awful..."
Subrged in the hot spring, Shajuye couldn’t help but lant.
"We shouldn’t have let the master go up earlier."
dea complained beside her. Initially, everyone was having fun, singing back and forth happily, then Duanmu Huai, feeling itchy, wanted to join in, and everyone didn’t mind, directly handing him the microphone.
The fact proved that it was a mistake.
"I’ve never heard the master sing before, if I knew, I’d never let him sing."
"Before?"
Hearing dea’s complaint, Shajuye tilted her head in curiosity.
"You haven’t t my brother many tis, have you?"
"Ah... before, we t a few tis before."
Facing Shajuye’s questioning, dea froze for a bit, then hurriedly explained. Shajuye still seed a bit puzzled, but fortunately, Alice Phil promptly intervened.
"When I was little, my grandfather brought here to et the master... Mr. Duanmu, at that ti Shajuye, you were still young..."
"Oh, I see... huh? But isn’t Miss dea about the sa age as ?"
"I just look young, no, I am indeed young. Anyway, even though I look about the sa age as you, in fact..."
As dea spoke, she almost burst into tears. Her age really was close to Shajuye’s, but for a young and beautiful girl like her to admit she’s older... it’s such a critical hit.
"Ah, I’m sorry, Sister dea."
Shajuye, also a girl, saw dea’s conflicted expression and knew the topic of age should not be brought up here, so she hurriedly apologized—thankfully, she didn’t call dea "Auntie," or dea would have probably died on the spot.
"Oh? Is this the spa hotel your family owns? It looks quite nice..."
Just as dea was about to be critically hit by Shajuye, a nonchalant voice rang out, relieving the awkward atmosphere. Turning their heads, they saw Mianmu Zuoniao carrying a White Wooden Sword, waltzing in.
"Lord Mianmu."
Seeing Mianmu Zuoniao, both Shajuye and ijia quickly stood up—after all, Mianmu Zuoniao was one of the Five Swords, and as students of Qianyuan Academy, they held great respect for the Five Swords.
"Ah, Shajuye, ijia, hello there... hmm?"
Waving at everyone in greeting, Mianmu Zuoniao widened her eyes, looking around.
"Where’s Little Yueye?"
"Huh? Did Lord Yin Fan co too?"
"Yes, she said she wanted to take a bath just now... why don’t I see her?"
While mumbling this confusion, Mianmu Zuoniao carried her White Wooden Sword and went straight into the hot spring, sitting down. Seeing her like this, everyone else exchanged helpless glances without saying much. Strictly speaking, bringing swords into the bath wasn’t exactly polite, but Mianmu Zuoniao obviously didn’t care about that. Besides, given the current situation, having soone with a weapon in the bath was sowhat reassuring.
As the girls enjoyed the hot spring, Duanmu Huai also arrived at the hot spring.
"Phew... singing felt really good."
Yawning, Duanmu Huai humd a tune as he entered the changing room. Although there was a bathroom in his room, for a guy of his build, soaking in the large bath was indeed more comfortable. This spa hotel was well-designed in that regard; the only disappointnt for Duanmu Huai was that there were no mixed baths.
Actually, even if there were mixed baths, it wouldn’t matter. Ever since arriving in this world, Duanmu Huai had visited so baths advertised as mixed, only to find pools filled with won aged fifty to eighty, which gave the hot springs a distinctly elderly scent...
At that ti, Duanmu Huai practically ran out, stumbling in his haste.
Besides, even if there were young girls in the mixed baths, they would be wearing swimsuits. After all, mixed bathing is just for soaking, not washing... thus, those beautiful young girls wrapped in towels in hot spring ads are utterly false advertising.
After experiencing this once, Duanmu Huai completely gave up on the idea.
"Hmm?"
However, when Duanmu Huai undressed and entered the bath, he heard the sound of splashing water, which surprised him a bit. The VIP bath on the second floor was exclusive to them as guests; the survivors and staff mainly used the baths on the first floor. Among these guests, he should be the only man...
Curious, Duanmu Huai lifted the curtain and walked inside.
Then, he saw a petite figure sitting in the bath with her back towards him.
Long, pure white hair, a small fra, and tightly shut eyes...
"What are you doing here, Inaba?"
Seeing Inaba Tsukuyo in front of him, Duanmu Huai was utterly speechless.
"Huh?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s voice, Inaba Tsukuyo, who was enjoying the hot spring, froze in place.
"T-Teacher?"
"That’s right."
"Wait, why are you here, Teacher?"
"Because this is the n’s bath. The real question is, why are you here?"
"n’s bath?!"
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, Inaba Tsukuyo was greatly startled, plunging into the water instantly.
"I just thought it was empty here and quite peaceful..."
"Then why didn’t you consider why it’s empty?"
Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes. He walked right up and sat down heavily.
"Splash!"
"Whoa!"
As Duanmu Huai’s large body entered the bath, the water surged drastically like waves in a swimming pool. Inaba Tsukuyo scread, swept out of the bath by the turbulent water, landing like a seal tossed onto the beach.
"Teacher! You’re going too far!"
"Oh, co on, you’re just a little girl, what’s there to be embarrassed about?"
Seeing Inaba Tsukuyo hugging herself and blushing in protest, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes. A girl with white hair and red eyes wasn’t exactly a novel sight for him; wasn’t Alice Phil much more alluring than Inaba Tsukuyo? The forr had curves in all the right places, unlike this little girl.
Besides, Inaba Tsukuyo couldn’t even see, could she?
"Flat in the front, flat in the back, what’s there to be embarrassed about? My chest is even bigger than yours!"
"You, you, you...!!"
Flustered and red-faced, Inaba Tsukuyo stood up abruptly after hearing Duanmu Huai’s remark.
"You better rember this! I never expected soone like you, Teacher, to be like this. I’m utterly disappointed!"
With that, Inaba Tsukuyo darted out of the bath as swiftly as a rabbit. Listening to the loud door slam, Duanmu Huai shrugged and closed his eyes.
Such a little girl.
