Jiang Xu squeezed through the crowd and saw a plump middle-aged woman openly trying to seduce two of the original host’s other husbands.
Chi Zhou had handsome features, but there was a hint of provocation in his expression. Fu Xiuwen was equally handsome, though his face was filled with impatience.
He was about to walk around the middle-aged woman’s husband and leave, but the man stepped forward and blocked his way.
“Move.”
“My wife is talking to you. Didn’t you hear her?” The man was covered in muscle and looked like someone who was not to be trifled with.
Fu Xiuwen frowned deeply. “I heard her. I refuse.”
“Why do you refuse?” The middle-aged woman was irritated. “What’s so good about that woman Jiang Xu that you’re so determined to stay with her?”
“Hey, ma’am.” Chi Zhou raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Isn’t it a little unethical to openly try to steal someone else’s husband?”
Jiang Xu remembered this middle-aged woman. She lived in the same villa district as Jiang Xu and had taken a liking to her five young and handsome husbands long ago. She would occasionally come over to harass them.
However, the original host had never bothered to remember the woman’s name.
“Even if we wanted to divorce Jiang Xu, we wouldn’t exactly choose someone like you, ma’am.”
“You!” The middle-aged woman was so furious that her face turned red. “How dare you reject me? The fact that I’m willing to take a liking to you is a blessing you’ve been given over eight lifetimes.”
“How dare you speak to me like that.”
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman gave her four husbands a signal. All four immediately surrounded Chi Zhou and Fu Xiuwen.
“What? We don’t agree, so you’re planning to force us, ma’am?” Chi Zhou remained as sharp-tongued as ever and sneered. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. There are police officers not far away. Even if you’re a woman, the police won’t let you off for trying to forcibly snatch a man in broad daylight.”
The woman’s four husbands paused, clearly somewhat wary.
However, the middle-aged woman sneered. “What are you afraid of? Grab them. I’ll take responsibility if anything happens.”
Hearing this, her four husbands moved forward again.
The atmosphere between the two sides was becoming increasingly tense. A Fourth-Level Lightning-Type Ability was already glowing in Fu Xiuwen’s palm, while Chi Zhou’s body gradually turned golden as he armed himself with his ability. The others also began to glow with various colors of light.
So this was what an ability looked like?
Just as the two sides were about to clash, a sudden splash of cold water poured down over their heads. Everyone froze in surprise.
It was Jiang Xu’s first time using her Water-Type Ability to stop a fight, so she was still somewhat inexperienced. It looked almost like she had given them all a bath.
“Who!” Water poured directly over the middle-aged woman’s head. Her already sparse hair became soaked and stuck to her face, making her look extremely disheveled.
She cursed furiously, “Who poured all this water over me?”
“Come out! Don’t hide like a coward!”
The crowd stirred as everyone began searching for the Water-Type Ability user. Fu Xiuwen and Chi Zhou also looked around.
In the post-apocalyptic world, Water-Type Ability users were almost as popular as celebrities.
“Big Sis, you openly tried to provoke my two husbands into divorcing me, and now you want to forcibly take my men. What’s wrong? Can’t the men in your own family satisfy you?”
Jiang Xu smiled as she stepped out and stood in front of Fu Xiuwen and Chi Zhou.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone present, water slowly flowed in her palm. She smiled lightly.
“It’s so hot today. I’m just helping you cool down that burning desire. That’s not too much, is it?”
“Jiang Xu, you! You actually awakened an ability? And it’s a Water-Type Ability?” The middle-aged woman stared at her in disbelief.
Wasn’t Jiang Xu a useless woman without any abilities?
How could this be possible?
The middle-aged woman was not the only one who could not believe it. Fu Xiuwen and Chi Zhou were also completely stunned.
“Is there anything strange about me awakening a Water-Type Ability?” Jiang Xu stared at the middle-aged woman’s face with a smile. “Big Sis, you have some eye gunk in the corner of your eye. Let me wash it for you.”
As she spoke, a ball of water that seemed almost alive shot straight toward the woman’s face. The instant it struck, it made a loud slap.
The middle-aged woman immediately screamed. Her four husbands no longer had time to bother with Fu Xiuwen and Chi Zhou. They hurried over to wipe her face and straighten her clothes and hair.
Just then, someone suddenly shouted, “The police are here!”
The crowd immediately parted, revealing two Robot Police officers who walked straight over and asked, “What happened?”
Jiang Xu pointed at the middle-aged woman first.
“Officer, she ordered her husbands to forcibly steal my two husbands in broad daylight.”
The water on the middle-aged woman’s face had already been wiped away. She gave an awkward smile.
“Misunderstanding. It was all a misunderstanding. I was just joking.”
After saying that, she exchanged a glance with her four husbands and glared fiercely at Jiang Xu before hurriedly leaving.
Seeing this, the Robot Police quickly dispersed the crowd.
“Don’t gather here. There’s nothing to see.”
Those who had originally wanted to get close to Jiang Xu and curry favor with a newly awakened Water-Type Ability user could only leave for the time being.
After confirming that there was no further trouble, the Robot Police also left. In the end, only Jiang Xu, Fu Xiuwen, and Chi Zhou remained.
Jiang Xu looked at her two handsome husbands.
“Are you two all right?”
When the two men looked at her, they both had the same disgust in their eyes.
Although Jiang Xu had helped them out of trouble just now, they believed she had only done it to protect her own reputation. Any woman who saw another woman flirting with her husband would never remain indifferent.
Perhaps she had only acted because she wanted to show off her Water-Type Ability.
But when had she awakened a Water-Type Ability?
She had already been so vicious when she had no ability. Wouldn’t she become even worse now that she had one?
The two men had clearly reached the same conclusion, and their gazes simultaneously turned colder.
Previously, when Fu Xiuwen had been seriously injured during a mission and was on the verge of death, he needed to stay in a medical pod. However, the original host had refused to pay for his treatment, causing his treatment to be delayed.
Although he had fortunately survived, Fu Xiuwen was left with a crippled leg.
It was not particularly noticeable when he walked slowly, but once he increased his pace, the limp became extremely obvious. Because of that leg, he had endured countless disdainful looks and taunts. His ability had also remained stuck at the fourth level of the Lightning-Type Ability, never able to advance any further.
Fu Xiuwen had once been a favored son of heaven. He could endure the original host tormenting him in various ways, but after being reduced to his current state, his mind gradually became twisted.
When the original host was sent flying by a mutated cow and still had a breath left in her, he had even gone over and delivered another blow.
As for Chi Zhou, a fourth-level Metal-Type Ability user, his hatred for the original host was no less than Fu Xiuwen’s.
The original host knew that he had been locked in a dark room as a child, yet she had still used a dog chain to lock him in the basement for three whole days and three nights.
It was only later that another one of the original host’s husbands, Li Yuchen, learned what had happened and released him.
The moment Chi Zhou came out, his first reaction was to settle the score with the original host. He nearly strangled her to death.
If Li Yuchen had not persuaded him to calm down, there probably would already have been grass growing half a person high over her grave.
Jiang Xu took in their expressions and sighed heavily inwardly.
The sins committed by the original host now had to be repaid by her.
“I’m fine. Just now, thank you very much, Wife-Head. I never expected you to awaken a Water-Type Ability. That really is quite surprising.”
Chi Zhou was the first to speak. He smiled playfully and suddenly moved closer to Jiang Xu.
