Chapter 37: Dream On!
Xiao Yi suddenly felt a twinge of embarrassment.
It seemed this beautiful professor not only had no expectations of his help, but was even planning to take him in...
And damn, this professor was lucky as hell—not only had she figured out a way to kill the water zombie virus, but she'd also stockpiled a massive amount of food by sheer coincidence...
His chances of luring Lu Yu Rou into submission with food and water had basically dropped to zero.
Using force? Her kindness made it impossible for him to go through with it.
Though Xiao Yi saw himself as a villain, even he couldn't bring himself to bite the hand that offered kindness like Lu Yu Rou's.
"Since you've got food and water, why even call for help...?" Xiao Yi said helplessly.
"Food and water won't last forever. I'm just a woman—if I want to survive, I have to team up with others," Lu Yu Rou said earnestly.
"I can share the food and water with you, and you can use this place as a shelter."
"But I've got one condition: you can't have any funny ideas about me, and you have to protect me until rescue arrives. If the food and water run out before then, we'll head out together to find a new shelter and keep waiting for rescue."
Lu Yu Rou laid out the terms of their partnership with dead seriousness.
"I don't need your food or water. And I don't need a shelter—I've got my own," Xiao Yi shook his head.
Lu Yu Rou stared at him intently.
"The only reason I came here is to make you my woman."
"If you want my protection, or to come to my shelter, you have to be my woman..."
Xiao Yi cut straight to the chase, done with the bullshit.
"You!! Dream on!!"
Lu Yu Rou's face flushed crimson with rage as she stumbled back a step, yanking a prepared fruit knife from behind her and pointing it at Xiao Yi. "I misjudged you! If you touch me, I'll kill myself right here!"
Even Jiang City's number one rich heir wouldn't catch her eye—let alone some loser kid like Xiao Yi!
Yeah, in Lu Yu Rou's eyes, the guy in front of her was just a damn kid.
Sure, she was only ten years older than him.
But to her, Xiao Yi was nothing but a childish brat!
A little punk like him, trying to claim her?
No fucking way she'd agree!
Xiao Yi shrugged helplessly. "Your food'll last maybe two months tops, right? Then what?"
"Don't count on rescue. If there was any, they'd have shown up by now."
He was trying to scare her into line.
But Lu Yu Rou wasn't buying it. "You think I'll scare that easy? I'm not afraid to die!"
With that, she pressed the fruit knife to her neck.
"Fuck!" Xiao Yi cursed under his breath and lashed out with a palm strike, knocking her out cold.
He then chucked the knife far out the window.
Dealing with a fragile woman like her was a breeze with his current agility...
Xiao Yi glanced at the stunning professor limp in his arms, a surge of wicked impulse stirring.
He reined it in, settling for a quick grope before leaving a note on the table and slipping out of Lu Yu Rou's dorm.
I mean you no harm. I'll give you three days to think it over. I'll come back then.
Women entering the City of Sin had to submit to him completely.
That was Xiao Yi's unbreakable rule.
Even if Lu Yu Rou was a good, kind woman.
He wouldn't bend his principles for her.
And he sure as hell wasn't gonna play the long game, slowly winning her over.
Jiang City had millions of women. He had better things to do than chase one.
After leaving the teachers' dorm, Xiao Yi glanced at the nerdy guys in the boys' dorm still gawking at him, then headed out of the school without a word.
The zombies charging at him fell like wheat to the scythe—chopped down effortlessly.
The sight hit those guys hard.
But after tasting the zombies' terror firsthand, they weren't dumb enough to get cocky like Shen Jia Bin had, strutting out full of false confidence.
Instead, they looked at Xiao Yi with pure hero worship.
"Boss! You taking apprentices? We'll follow you anywhere!" a chubby loser yelled at the top of his lungs.
Another—the one who'd been jerking off to Lu Yu Rou earlier—climbed onto the windowsill and started kowtowing toward Xiao Yi.
"Boss! Master! Take me as your disciple! Once a teacher, forever a father—you're my dad now!"
Xiao Yi smirked at the otakus. The idiots were kinda funny—reminded him of his old loser roommates.
But he had no time for fat nerds right now. He was headed to the mall outside school to harvest those hulking zombies.
And check out the survivor camp nearby.
The City of Sin had plenty of food and water, but other daily supplies were running low.
He planned to raid the mall for essentials.
His five girls in the City of Sin were all his women now. Before, he couldn't afford luxuries for them.
But now? Stocking each with international-brand cosmetics, skincare, designer clothes, and bags? Piece of cake. No problem at all.
