Oh My God, Why Did the Magic Fail?

With Wang Kun's furious roar, a fireball struck him squarely in the forehead. The flames surged violently the next second, burning Wang Kun to nothing.

Wang Kun probably never imagined, even at death's door, that he would die at the hands of his own precious son.

Meng De was somewhat speechless too.

Just moments ago, faced with the sudden Flame Ball attack, he had instinctively aimed the transfer direction of the Space Black Hole at Wang Kun.

And so, Wang Kun, who had finally managed to rise up, suffered another tragic misfortune.

Before, he had not dared to fire because he was afraid of hitting his own people. Now that he could fire, he died the moment he did.

He might as well never have fired at all.

Fortunately, Meng De had kept the Space Black Hole active, and the black hole absorbed the shockwave from the explosion.

Cheng Ying and he were unharmed.

But this woman was still rather dazed.

The bastard she wanted to kill was just... dead?

Why did it feel so absurdly dramatic?

In Meng De's sight, a chubby young man weighing nearly three hundred pounds appeared.

Meng De took one look and recognized him. He remembered that this fat kid was already in his twenties, yet he refused to work and just mooched off his parents at home.

Meng De knew him because this guy was always stealing his deliveries.

Even lawyer's letters had failed to deter him.

Instead, the fat kid had spammed him with bad reviews. Out of ten deliveries, he had somehow left eleven bad reviews.

Once, he had even falsely accused Meng De of stealing his Gazi-brand divine dog. If Meng De had not checked the surveillance footage, he would have ended up sewing uniforms in prison for a few days.

Ding! An ability user is approaching!

Ability User: Wang Yan

Awakened Ability: Small Fireball (D-rank)

Level: Early First Tier

(Ability ranks: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, F)

(Ability user levels: First Tier to Ninth Tier)

Meng De had not expected this guy to awaken an ability too.

Wang Yan rushed out, glanced at what remained of his father, and dazedly blurted out:

"Oh my God, why did the magic fail?"

It had to be said, Wang Yan's entrance was extremely comedic.

That one sentence nearly made Meng De laugh himself to death.

However, when the fat kid looked at Meng De, his face turned ferocious and murderous.

"It was you! You killed my dad!"

As he spoke, he formed two fireballs in his hands and hurled them straight at Meng De the next second.

"Behold my God-level Red Lotus Karma Fire!!"

Red lotus my ass!

A mere Small Fireball dared insult my water pea?! You've gone too far!

An uncle could endure it, but an aunt could not!!!

Meng De did not even bother dodging.

He simply aimed the transfer direction of the Space Black Hole at Wang Yan.

This living room was not large, only around five meters across.

It was well within his transfer range.

Besides, Wang Yan's awakened ability was only D-rank! Transferring it could not have been easier!

At the same time, he pulled out the Desert Eagle and repeatedly squeezed the trigger at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan was still shouting when he saw his fireballs vanish the next second.

Before he could figure out what had happened, countless bullets came flying at him.

"Fuck!"

There was no way Wang Yan could dodge that many bullets. Worse, as he tried to evade them, a black hole slowly emerged behind him, and the Flame Balls that had just disappeared smashed directly into him.

Under the double attack, an explosion erupted instantly.

The entire room was blown flat.

Even the woman inside the room was killed in the blast.

Luckily, Meng De reacted quickly. With night having fallen, his reaction speed had doubled.

He immediately held Cheng Ying in his arms and flashed away.

Otherwise, even with the Space Black Hole protecting him, he would have inevitably been injured.

Inside Room 1302.

Having avenged her great wrongs, Cheng Ying cried in Meng De's arms for a long time.

Meng De could only stay with her and help the woman tidy up the room. He had originally wanted her to go back with him, but Cheng Ying clearly was not ready yet.

Still, she did not refuse. She only said that she needed some time to adjust. With no other choice, he left behind some daily supplies before departing.

When he opened the door, the woman hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Meng De, thank you!"

"I... I'll definitely repay you."

Meng De looked at the woman's flushed face. She looked even more alluring after changing into a black hip-hugging skirt, and when he thought of her status as a widow, he could not hold himself back any longer. He pinned her against the wall. "I'll collect a little interest first."

After a bout of lip-to-lip combat, Meng De finally left the room in satisfaction.

Although he had not completely won her over, he had at least gotten a small taste of a widow. Even her favorability had risen to 50, leaving just one step before the 60 intimacy needed for a reward!

"The common folk are so damn happy tonight!"

Excited, Meng De even started whistling. Upstairs, Cheng Ying watched his departing back from afar, her face burning red.

When she touched a certain place, it was already wet. That little man had actually almost...

But when she thought of how this man had first saved her in a crisis, then risked danger to help avenge her, Cheng Ying felt nothing but gratitude toward Meng De.

The only way she could repay him, it seemed, was by giving him her complete self. Meanwhile, by the time Meng De returned to Building Five, it was nearly ten at night.

When Meng De entered the room, both sisters threw themselves into his arms.

Chen Jiayi was stronger, but her younger sister Yao Yao was crying her eyes out.

Meng De knew the sisters had been worried about him, so he carefully comforted them both.

The sisters then pulled Meng De over to the dining table.

Just as he was wondering what was going on, Jiayi brought out a bowl of noodles.

"My sister spent an entire afternoon making these. Brother-in-law, you're not allowed to say they taste bad."

Yao Yao explained from the side.

Meng De knew this was definitely Chen Jiayi's first time cooking.

Back then, neither sister had ever done housework.

This woman... had put her heart into it. Meng De had to admit, he was quite touched.

Of course, it was not so exaggerated that a bowl of porridge would make him feel like he had a home for the first time.

But he had indeed long since regarded taking care of the sisters as one of his responsibilities.

Another day soon passed. Since both sisters had gotten their periods these past two days, he could not even take advantage of them! He could not possibly keep having Jiayi give him a "manual transmission" like before.

His physical condition was already far beyond that of an ordinary person, so naturally, his stamina and endurance were exceptional as well.

If they kept using the "manual transmission," Jiayi's hand would be ruined sooner or later.

It was another sleepless night. Meng De lay alone in bed.

Honestly, having meat right in front of him but being unable to eat it was truly painful!

Just as Meng De was preparing to rest, he saw his phone light up the next second.

After so many days in the apocalypse, the mobile network had long since gone down.

The only thing that still worked was texting, but even the signal was unstable, appearing and disappearing at random.

In a few more days, the electricity would probably go out too. Then the phones would truly be useless.

He picked up his phone and looked at it.

"Meng De... c-can you come over?"

The signature was Bai Jie! Meng De smiled.

This woman had finally been unable to hold back.
