Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xu Ying looked at her back and became even more depressed. At this time, the system’s built-in AI butler of Peach Blossom Land sent a notification sound, “Master, there’s an open fire in double room No. 5. The test shows that there might be a danger.”
Xu Ying hurried over and pressed the doorbell. “Is anyone there?” The rooms here were all connected. Once a fire broke out, it would be uncontrollable.
At this time, the other tenants also saw the situation here and knew that there was a fire. They were all ready to carry water. At this moment, the door opened.
The smoke rushed out of the room and made everyone take a few steps back.
There were two men living in this double room. The one who opened the door was a short young man named Di Jie. At this time, his hair was charred black and his face was gray.
Xu Ying frowned and went in to take a look. The newly purchased single beds were burnt beyond recognition. The large wardrobe was also destroyed. The toilet bowl and sink were burnt black, and the pipes were also burnt red.
Xu Ying’s anger flared up and she said seriously, “What are you doing? When I gave you the key card, I showed you the things to take note of, right? There can’t be any flammable or explosive things. There are so many tenants here. If there’s a fire, do you want everyone to die in the fire?”
Xu Ying’s temper was actually not bad, but the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. Although the house was provided by the system, the items were genuine, so it was naturally the same as a normal house.
The tenants who had helped were also scared and looked at Di Jie with condemnation.
Di Jie was also a little dissatisfied with Xu Ying’s attitude and muttered, “Things turned out alright! No one got hurt and I can control the fire.” As he spoke, he showed everyone his fire ability.
Xu Ying’s face darkened. “I’ll say it again. You’ve read the agreement and signed it. You’re not allowed to use your powers in my Peach Blossom Land. You know that, right?”
“I know.” Di Jie nodded. “I didn’t fight. I was just communicating in my room. What are you so excited about? I’ll repay you if it’s damaged.”
This attitude made Xu Ying even more dissatisfied. “Of course you have to pay! But let me tell you, if you want to practice, go out and practice! There was a free training ground in the Vermilion Bird Base.”
Jia Guang, who was also putting out the fire, was also dissatisfied. “Look at you, you just awakened your superpower, right? This time is the hardest to control. You’re lucky today that the fire didn’t get bigger! Miss Xu, I suggest that this person move out. His attitude is so indifferent. What’s the difference between him and a time bomb?”
The other tenants had the same intention. No one wanted to sleep until midnight and be burned to death for no reason.
Di Jie was also unwilling. With such good rental conditions, he was not crazy. Why would he move? “I’ve paid. Why should I move? I have the money to compensate for the damage. It’s none of your business!” With that, he closed the door.
“Why is this person like this…”
“It’s really scary to rent a house with such a person.. Miss Xu, I suggest that he move out. This kind of thing happened once, and there will be a second time..”
Xu Ying didn’t expect the new tenant to cause her so much trouble on the second day. She knocked on the door again. “I’ll give you two minutes. Come out immediately. If you don’t understand what happened today, you can move out.”
Two minutes later, nothing happened.
Di Jie was sure that as long as he stayed in the room, the skinny landlady would not be able to do anything to him.
However, he did not know that the consequences would be severe.
“I’ve given you a chance, so don’t blame me.” Xu Ying said again. “I won’t refund your remaining rent!” As she spoke, she asked the system to teleport him out and threw him at the entrance of the base where people came and went. Then, she found the tenant’s information and sent a message to Di Jie’s roommate, Ji Ke, asking him to come back early.
Xu Ying sat in the living room and waited until two o’clock in the afternoon. Ji Ke came back and was dumbfounded when he saw the mess in the room. “This … I’ve only known that Di Jie for less than two days. We’re together because we want to rent a room. Last night, I advised him not to play with fire in the room. He said that he was long-winded and even mocked me for not having supernatural powers. In the end, such a big thing happened today. I … I’m very sorry. I’ll pay for the losses he caused. Don’t chase me out..”
Ji Ke was just an ordinary person without any special abilities. It was already rare for him to have a decent job. It was just that he had never been able to settle down. What he was most afraid of now was being chased out. This was really the best place he had lived in the past 20 years. He was prepared to get married and have children here for the rest of his life.
