Medusa in the Trash Heap
Chapter 24 - The Burst Water Pipe

Chapter 24: The Burst Water Pipe

“Okay…”

Cui Beiqi softly responded.

Cheng Fan had no intention of teasing her, yet his words still caused Cui Beiqi’s face to turn red.

She couldn’t help but glance at Queen Medusa, her eyes full of envy.

Living in the human world with a tail was not easy.

After all, human living spaces were designed for human activities.

When she snapped back to reality, she noticed that Cheng Fan had already left. So, she followed his suggestion and only half-closed the door for herself.

Not wanting to make Cui Beiqi feel uncomfortable, Cheng Fan directly retreated to his room.

Having stayed up all night and not napping during the day, Cheng Fan felt truly tired. He immediately lay down on his bed.

But as he relaxed, strange sounds from outside—the clattering of water—made him feel inexplicably restless.

He wasn’t sure if it was the dragon meat and dragon blood soup, but Cheng Fan felt a strange heat surge through him.

Especially when he heard the splashing of water, his blood seemed to boil on its own.

Helpless, Cheng Fan slightly activated his cultivation technique to calm his mind. With a peaceful heart, he slowly fell into a doze.

“Bang, bang…”

“Master, there’s a water leak…”

“We don’t know what to do, please come over…”

Just as Cheng Fan had finally drifted off to sleep, he heard a knock and Medusa’s voice.

“A water leak?”

Cheng Fan sat up, yawning in confusion, then opened the door.

Instantly, he became fully awake.

In the bathroom, the water pipe appeared to have burst, and water pressure was spraying wildly, spilling out into the living room.

“Master, I didn’t mean to! I don’t know what happened…”

Cui Beiqi was standing in a corner, trembling pitifully like a wet chicken, her appearance a complete mess.

Clearly, the sudden incident had frightened her. She was so flustered that she didn’t even manage to put on her clothes, standing there in a corner, naked.

Her face was tear-streaked, her golden serpent tail helplessly flailing in the water.

Cheng Fan was momentarily stunned, standing in shock.

“Master, we should first think about how to stop the water…”

After a long silence, Queen Medusa seemed unable to bear it any longer and gently nudged Cheng Fan, reminding him.

“Oh, it’s fine. I’ll handle it…”

Cheng Fan snapped back to reality, moved his gaze away, and walked purposefully toward the main water valve. He twisted the switch, and the spraying water instantly stopped.

“Wow, that’s amazing…”

The others finally understood.

“It’s actually quite simple.”

“It’s just that you weren’t familiar with it, and in your panic, you couldn’t find the shut-off valve.”

Cheng Fan smiled and said, “Your clothes are all wet. Let me find something new for you…”

He then returned to his room, dug out some clothes, and handed them to Medusa to give to Cui Beiqi.

“I’ll fix the pipe.”

Once Cui Beiqi had changed, Cheng Fan went to the burst pipe area.

It was quite a coincidence that the pipe had burst.

However, for Cheng Fan, repairing it was as easy as breathing.

He placed his palm on the crack, and with a flash of white light, the system deducted five points from his score, and the pipe was restored to its original state.

“That’s an amazing ability…”

Both Medusa and Ba Xia, who had been observing, were stunned.

They felt that Cheng Fan’s abilities were like a manifestation of power.

With just a swipe of his hand, the cracked pipe was fixed so easily.

“All right!”

“You all continue. I’ll go back to sleep now…”

Cheng Fan yawned and returned to his room. He lay back down and closed his eyes.

“Too amazing!”

At that moment, Cheng Fan found it hard to fall asleep.

His mind was filled with thoughts.

Indeed, the creator must be an artist.

He hadn’t imagined that Medusa’s snake tail and human body could combine so perfectly.

It was a natural, flawless integration, so smooth it seemed like it was designed on a production line.

Quickly, Cheng Fan shook his head, clearing the thought from his mind.

The image of the cracked scales and the perfect covering scales flashed in his mind.

The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to understand what those covering scales actually did.

Soon, Cheng Fan fell into a deep sleep.

He slept straight through until morning. After making breakfast for the four of them,

Medusa and the others slowly woke up.

With no other choice, Cheng Fan had to patiently teach them how to use high-tech toothbrushes and toothpaste.

Cheng Fan always had spare toothbrushes, so there was no need to buy new ones, saving him time.

The girls were all amazed.

In their world, they had methods of brushing their teeth and gargling, but the tools and methods were quite different.

“Ba Xia, Cui Beiqi, you stay home today. I’m going out with the Queen to do some shopping.”

After breakfast, Cheng Fan made arrangements.

Ba Xia was too weak and needed to rest and cultivate.

As for Cui Beiqi, her Medusa-like features were too striking. She shouldn’t go outside without a new long robe, or else she would draw too much attention and invite unnecessary trouble.

Besides, it wouldn’t be pleasant to be pointed at and stared at, which Cheng Fan found unpleasant.

As for Queen Medusa, she would accompany him to the auction house and, by the way, buy some things, including securing a large house.
