132: Take a bath, I can actually take a bath

Bai Wanning greeted them while filling the bathtub and several buckets with water, then went downstairs. She glanced at Lei Qian and said, "There's water in the upstairs bathroom; you can take a shower. I really can't stand this smell."

"What? You mean there's enough for us to shower?" Yun Chuan was so excited he nearly jumped, his eyes wide.

Yang Chunhua, who was behind him, almost cried tears of joy upon hearing this.

Water, water to shower with!

She couldn't remember the last time she had a proper shower.

Not just wiping her body a few times with a dirty towel soaked in foul, salty water, but a real—shower.

Only a few months had passed since the Apocalypse, yet that peaceful, stable, clean, and tidy life felt like an entire century ago.

Mo He and Wan Guofu were no exception; upon hearing the words "take a shower," their eyes instantly lit up, and they were so excited they almost screamed.

Although Lei Qian's eyes were also full of surprise, he maintained basic restraint and politeness, confirming with Bai Wanning, "Is there really enough extra water for a shower?"

He wasn't doubting Bai Wanning's words; it was just that after the Apocalypse, even drinking water had to be carefully rationed, and being able to shower meant consuming a lot of stored water resources.

He didn't want the Bai Family Members to have to scrimp and save because of him.

At this moment, Lu Yin, who had been standing by, suddenly interjected, "Sister Bai, you don't have to try so hard. The Apocalypse has arrived, and you're still trying to please others by showering. Don't you find it too tiring?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere instantly froze.

"What? You think we're wasting water to shower just to curry favor with you?" Bai Zhan immediately retorted impolitely, his gaze like a knife fixed on her. "Who do you think you are? Even if the King of Heaven came, we wouldn't use drinking water to shower. Do you think you're more important than him?"

He snorted coldly, "It's hilarious, really. To think we'd shower for 'you.' Absolutely ridiculous."

Lu Yin's face instantly turned crimson. Before she could speak, Lu Yu grabbed her wrist and reminded her in a cold voice, "What did you say before we left?"

She had promised to be good and obedient, but what was she doing now?

Lu Yin bit her lip, trembling with anger, yet not daring to talk back.

Her gaze shifted to Lei Qian, but she saw only an expressionless face. In that instant, her heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, hurting intensely.

"I'm sorry." Lu Yu lowered his eyes, looking at Bai Zhan and Bai Wanning, his tone sincere, "My sister was impolite; I apologize on her behalf."

"Is she mute?" Bai Zhan sneered, "She can curse people but can't apologize?"

Mother Bai, seeing this, also advised, "Second Brother, don't be too polite."

Although she didn't want to add fuel to the fire, she didn't have a good impression of someone like Lu Yin. She turned to Lei Qian and the others, smiling, and said, "There's enough water in the house; feel free to shower."

As she said this, she instinctively glanced at Lu Yin.

She wasn't lying.

After Bai Wanning awakened her Water Ability, the Bai Family Members almost never had to worry about water sources again.

Not only could they drink water and shower, but even the vegetable garden on the balcony could be watered as usual. Moreover, Bai Jixuan had modified the water tanks, connecting everything from the main tank to the backup reservoir, so there was no shortage of water at all.

Lei Qian and the others finally relaxed upon hearing Mother Bai's confirmation, their faces all beaming with joy.

"Thank you, Bai Wanning." Yang Chunhua, waving a lollipop, winked at Bai Wanning, "I really need a shower; you're so nice!"

Bai Wanning rolled her eyes helplessly, "Don't be so cheesy."

"Wanning, I was wrong." Mo He also spoke excitedly, smiling foolishly, "I used to think you were a ruthless ice queen, but it turns out everyone else was talking nonsense. You're super nice."

Wan Guofu coldly swept a glance at Mo He, "Only a fool like you would believe those people."

"Hey!" Mo He was about to retort when Yun Chuan interrupted him.

"Wanning, I'll add my share too!" Yun Chuan said, throwing a nearly dead rabbit on the ground. "Cook it tonight and treat yourself well. It's almost dead anyway; keeping it won't do any good..."

"Ugh!" Bai Wanning looked at the bloody, dying rabbit, and her stomach churned.

Her complexion, which had just recovered, turned pale again, and she felt a wave of dizziness.

"Are you crazy?" Lei Qian's face darkened. He kicked Yun Chuan's backside with his toe, sending him stumbling.

"What are you doing? Didn't you hear her say she's sensitive to this smell? Put it away quickly and go shower! Also, why are you standing so close to Wanning?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Yun Chuan was extremely embarrassed.

He was tall and sweaty. It used to be better, but ever since the Apocalypse broke out, he hadn't been able to shower.

How could he not stink?

"No need to apologize." Bai Wanning's face was slightly flushed, and she waved her hand, "It's not your fault; it's just that I can't stand pungent smells. Brother Yun, if you don't mind, you can go shower in the guest room. Of course, if you prefer, you can also take the water home."

"No, no, no, I don't mind, I don't mind! I just want to shower here." As soon as Yun Chuan heard he could shower, he felt light all over, as if his skin was itching.

He couldn't wait to take off his clothes and wash away the fishy, sticky smell of decaying blood from his body.

With that, he, Wan Guofu, and Mo He hurried upstairs.

Although Mother Bai said there was enough water, they still didn't dare to truly believe that water was worthless. As for how this water was stored and why the Bai Family Members never worried about water, they didn't ask further.

Since the day they awakened as Extraordinary Persons, they had understood that nothing was impossible in this world.

Clearly, someone in the Bai family had awakened a Water Ability.

Although Yun Chuan and the others envied the Bai family, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if their relationship with Bai Wanning wasn't close enough, given the relationship between Lei Qian and Bai Wanning, Bai Wanning naturally wouldn't truly abandon them.

At least for now, they no longer had to worry about drinking water.

"Are you an Extraordinary Person?" As Yun Chuan and the others went upstairs to shower, Da Cheng, a newly added team member, glanced at Bai Wanning and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

Bai Wanning looked up at the man standing behind her.

The man was handsome, tall, with deep and charming eyes. If he wanted to, he could easily charm many women.

She frowned, vaguely sensing that he was a Mist Ability User, though his cultivation was far less powerful than her own.

No wonder his complexion was so good, and his skin looked moist and delicate, with almost no visible pores, as if water could be squeezed out of it with a pinch.

Even with Bai Wanning's keen eyesight, it was difficult to find a single flaw on his face.
