Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 246 - 246 16 If There Be a God_2

246: Chapter 16 If There Be a God_2 246: Chapter 16 If There Be a God_2 “Here comes granny.” The witch Miss peered in as she pushed the door open, her gaze sweeping over the two who had discarded their disguises, and her mouth fell open.

“Wowzers…”

The old lady scolded helplessly, “Child!

Don’t be rude in front of the guests!”

“Sorry, sorry,” Rina hastily apologized with a laugh, “The room’s ready, this way please.”

After bidding farewell to the old witch, the two followed Rina down the hallway.

Gongsun Ce had walked a distance on the wooden floor before he heard the witch Miss whisper, “Didn’t expect you to be quite handsome.”

Shiyu Ling let out a sound of retching.

“Mr.

Gongsun, I’m so moved,” the Superpower User was almost in tears.

Ever since he had known Mr.

Shiyu, hardly anyone had praised his looks, since standing next to that guy made pretty much every other man fade into “utterly average,” indistinguishable faces blending in with the crowd.

This pleasant mood lasted until Rina led them to their room.

“Mr.

Gongsun will stay in this room, and Miss Alice, your room is just around the corner.

It’s an old-fashioned room, but fully equipped.

Just can’t compare with the hotels in the big city, though.”

Shiyu Ling had still used the alias Alice Adar for self-introductions, so Rina was yet to know that the person beside her was one of the notorious Shiyu.

After showing the two guests the rooms and noticing their faces dark as the bottom of a pot and both standing motionless, the witch Miss couldn’t help but ask, “Are you both dissatisfied?”

To be fair, the guest room Rina had prepared for them was quite comfortable.

The room was almost as big as Gongsun Ce’s personal apartment, with tatami mats laid on top of the hardwood flooring, a low table and cushions set upon it; light-colored walls adorned with calligraphy that read “Zen,” and elegant flowers placed against the wall; further inside the bedroom was a large bed that looked very comfortable, which was considerate for someone like Gongsun Ce who wasn’t used to sleeping on the floor…

However, there was one oversight in Rina’s arrangements that really couldn’t be blamed on her.

The shortest distance between the two guest rooms was already over 5 meters.

“…””…”

The faces of the two guests darkened like the icy waters of deep winter, with the female Hunter speaking up first, “Do you have rooms that are closer together?”

Rina thought for a moment and said, “Is there a Skill regarding distance requirements?”

Gongsun Ce was inwardly applauding.

It’s great that you can make such an association as a professional immediately!

My reputation is saved, Mr.

Gongsun!!

“Yes, yes, it’s a defensive Skill we activated for safety before setting out.

The distance should preferably be within…” Gongsun Ce coughed awkwardly, “5 meters.”

Rina looked back and forth at their faces, showing an expression of “I get it.” The Superpower User had no desire to explore what exactly the high school witch had understood.

He asked without much hope, “Do you have any single rooms that meet the requirements?”

Just from Rina’s awkward smile, he knew the answer.

So, 30 minutes later.

Gongsun Ce, who had finished washing up first, stood expressionlessly in front of the bathroom door, listening to the dripping sound of water behind him.

Of course, a double room was bigger than a single one.

He had to stand flush against the door to ensure that he maintained a safe distance from his partner.

And because Miss Alice was beyond his field of vision, he had even sent his phone into the bathroom as well.

A luxury suite, in the silence of the night, alone with a beautiful member of the opposite sex.

What a great storyline!

Why did it have to be with Shiyu Ling?!

If it were someone else…

“Hey!”

He pinched the bridge of his nose, controlling his thoughts.

It was rude to think of anyone else at this moment.

Calm down, Gongsun Ce!

You are a man of the world!

It’s only lustful high schoolers who would let their minds run wild from mere sounds of water, you’re past the age of wanting to hit on every pretty girl you see!

Thinking from the sound of water to droplets on skin, to where the droplets travel, and then imagining bodily curves, this kind of thinking is just…

He covered his ears with his hands.

He had never even gone this far in his thinking during a fight.

He trained his mental speed and associative skills to quickly deduce opponents’ tactics, not to fantasize in front of a bathroom door!

This uncontrollable association made him extremely uncomfortable, to the point of feeling disgust.

Gongsun Ce crouched at the door like a delinquent, muttering ancient texts taught by Yan Qi to distract himself.

When his legs began to numb, the sound of the lock finally came from behind.

Warm steam rushed to his back as the door opened, accompanied by someone’s voice tinged with revulsion.

“Ugh, what are you doing!”

“Meditating,” Gongsun Ce said flatly, “Contemplating on the mysteries of Zen.”

Gongsun Ce pounded his numb legs, turning and standing up, thinking of making up some mission-related chatter to divert attention.

“…!”

The young man with grey hair’s plan failed before it even started, all because he saw an unexpected sight.

As he stood up, his gaze swept from bottom to top, capturing unshod feet and long legs; above that were shorts clinging tightly to the hips, then a midriff and navel peeking out between the tank top; a tank top stretched taut by ample breasts, towel-wrapped black hair, and Shiyu Ling’s serene face.

“—Hey!”

The Superpower User leapt back five meters at top speed, turning his head to the side as though punched.

The black-haired woman stood at the bathroom door drying her hair, pouting as she repeated, “Nonsense…

what are you up to?”

“You!

Could you please be a bit more considerate!” The Superpower User wiped his face, “At least change back into your Hunter gear!”
