Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 176

Chapter 176: Bai Meiyue: The Water Goddess
Bai Meiyue filled the bathing tubs and a few buckets with water before returning to the first floor. She glanced at Lei Qian and spoke to him, “There is water in the bathroom on the second floor. You can take it back home and take a bath with it.” she really couldn’t take this smell anymore.

“What? You mean there is enough water for us to take a bath?” Yun Chuan was quite excited when he heard Bai Meiyue’s words. Behind him, Yang Chunhua almost shed tears of happiness because she was feeling too emotional. Water. There was water for her to take a bath.

When was the last time she took a good bath instead of using a dirty rag dipped in the murky and fishy water to wipe her body? She couldn’t even remember it. It hadn’t been that long since the end of the world started but for some reason, the days of peace and comfort seemed so far away that Yang Chunhuan felt like those days were ages ago.

She wasn’t the only one; Mo He and Wan Guofu were also excited upon hearing that there was enough water for them to take a bath. Mo He was so happy that he wanted to scream.

However, Lei Qian was still polite, as he didn’t want to put too much pressure on Bai Meiyue. He asked, “Is there really water for us to take a bath?” It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Bai Meiyue; it was just that there was not even enough water to drink so how could there be water to take a bath?

The last thing he wanted was to use the drinking water saved by the Bai family to take a bath.

“That’s right, Miss Bai.” Lu Yin, who had been standing quietly on the side, couldn’t help but chime in. “There is no need to stretch yourself so much. After all, the world has already ended. There is no point in trying to impress others.”

“What? Do you think that we will waste our precious drinking water to impress you?” Bai Jixuan snorted. “Who do you think you are? Even the heavenly king cannot make us take out our drinking water. Do you think you are more powerful than him?”

He snorted. “Impress you. As if!”

Lu Yin’s face turned red. She wanted to say something but before she could, Lu Yu clenched her wrist and pulled her back.

“What did you say before leaving the house?” he reminded her. Unlike Bai Meiyue, who could kill Lu Yin without blinking her eyes, Lu Yu couldn’t do the same.

More importantly, Lu Yin promised him that she would be on her best behaviour. So what was she doing now?

Lu Yin pursed her lips and lowered her head. Her heart was filled with resentment. She felt angry and upset upon being scolded. Why!? Why was her brother so against her and Brother Qian being together? Even though he knew that she liked Lei Qian, her brother never helped her and even told her that she was being foolish.

“I apologise,” Lu Yu glanced at his sister, who stood next to him with her head lowered. He then raised his head and politely said to Bai Jixuan and Bai Meiyue, “My sister was rude; I will apologise for her actions.”

“Is she mute?” Bai Jixuan questioned with a sneer. “If she can scold people for no reason, I believe that she can also apologise.”

“Don’t be rude, Jixuan.” Mother Bai was also not impressed by Lu Yin but she couldn’t let the matter escalate any further lest it become awkward for others as well. She then turned to look at Lei Qian and the rest before saying, “Yes, there is enough water in our house. You can take a bath without worrying.”

Mother Bai glanced at Lu Yin with some dissatisfaction when she said those words. She wasn’t lying. After all, once Bai Meiyue awakened the water ability, they never had to worry about running out of water. Not only did they have enough water to drink and bathe, but Mother Bai could also water her vegetables without worrying about running out of water.

What was more, Bai Zhan had also found a way to connect the water tank on the balcony to the main tank, which meant that Bai Meiyue and their bathing rooms were never out of water. After being used to getting water whenever they wanted without any worries, they were now rather casual with saving water.

Hearing Mother Bai’s confirmation, the small group cheered immediately. Even Lei Qian was quite excited. He never thought that the big boss, who had everything served on a silver platter, would one day have a hard time getting his hands on clean water.

“Bai Meiyue, thank you so much. You are really nice; I really needed a hot bath. Thanks to you, I can finally get rid of this dirt and murk off my body.” Yang Chunhua waved her lollipop in the air and winked at Bai Meiyue, who rolled her eyes at the woman.

Mo He also smiled at Bai Meiyue and excitedly said to her, “Meiyue, I was wrong. I thought that you were cruel and heartless but it seems like those people were lying. You are really nice.”

Wan Guofu glanced at Mo He and sneered, “Only a fool like you would believe them.”

“Hey!”

“Here, I will add this too,” Yun Chunhua said to Bai Meiyue as he placed down a rabbit that was more or less dead and said to Bai Meiyue, “You can cook it tonight and have a good feast. It’s dead anyway so I don’t think there is any point in keeping it alive—”

“Ugh!” Bai Meiyue glanced at the rabbit whose fur was matted with blood and groaned.

Lei Qian saw her complexion turning pale and kicked Yun Chuan on the back.

“What are you doing? Did you not hear her say that she is sensitive to such smells? Quickly put it away and take a bath, and why are you so close to Yueyue?”
