The outer door, which I had just arrived at, was suddenly slammed shut.
The girl and I suddenly looked back.
"Are you my new roommate? Can you cook me a meal?"
The ethereal voice startled me.
Turning back again, I saw a person covered in seaweed standing in front of me.
I can't even tell if it's human or ghost.
What happened?! This room was completely empty except for us just now!
Along with this guy came a foul smell of seaweed, mixed with a hint of fishy, dampness.
The roots of the aquatic plants seemed to have grown into the body, tightly binding the waistband.
The belt is the only element on this guy's body that can be identified as clothing.
The rest were a large expanse of seaweed leaves churning in the seawater.
There were several small puddles around the waist and at the feet, with a few fallen seaweed leaves hanging there.
It was extremely sticky and had a fishy smell.
If it weren't for the appearance, I would find it hard to associate the creature in front of me with a human just by looking at its face.
Most of it was covered by water plants, leaving only a pair of bloodshot, cloudy eyes visible.
I took a closer look, and it seemed that the person's eyes also had mud and seaweed mixed in with the seaweed.
Even the little bit of skin that was exposed had a bluish-white tinge.
Even though she was in the water, her lips were still bleeding and very pale.
It's like the color you only see on a dead person.
I couldn't help but wonder, do all the people in this body of water have this kind of skin?
At least for now, the only two merchants who have appeared, and the strange man in front of us, are all examples of this.
They didn't seem to be the masters of this Dragon Palace; rather, they looked like people from land who had been soaking in the water for a long time to become like this.
I can hardly believe that the voice I just heard came from him.
I clearly heard it just now; the sound came from above my head.
I turned around, and there it was, right in front of me.
Upon seeing Yiyi and me, he first extended his hand, and only then did I see it clearly.
His thin wrists were wrapped in seaweed several times, leaving red marks.
"New roommate, can you cook me a dish?"
I heard you clearly!
Damn!
I cursed under my breath; that bastard's voice was coming from up there.
At least, it definitely wasn't coming from the throat of the body right in front of you.
Hearing this, I glanced at Yiyi beside me.
The girl seemed quite puzzled as well.
However, not knowing the extent of the danger posed by the person in front of us, we did not act rashly.
Could it be that there is at least one corpse standing in front of us now?
Although the sound wasn't very loud, it was noticeably lower than before, but I could clearly tell that it was definitely not the voice of the person in front of me.
I even examined the man's throat closely.
However, it had no effect; the creature had completely wrapped its neck with dried, rotten seaweed, countless times.
I felt a deep sense of unease.
They no longer had the energy to deal with or think about the sound of the door closing.
Even if it's our door, we will never go back to that dangerous house.
Let's figure this out first!
Seeing that neither Yiyi nor I spoke, this "roommate" raised her voice a little.
"Cook! Caviar rice! Quickly!"
The sound was like a warning from the deep sea.
The surrounding seawater vibrated and made a loud rumbling sound.
I'm really a little confused now.
The previous paper clearly stated that this person did not eat meat.
Why are you saying you want to eat caviar rice now?!
Damn, you're picking on me too? This isn't our first time meeting!
If you keep pretending with me, I'll chop your skin off and see what you're really made of!
Yi Yi also looked puzzled.
Seeing that my roommate was about to lose his temper, I quickly tried to speak up.
"Yes, just wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
As I spoke, I began to pull Yiyi closer to the countertop in the room.
I can't be sure about other things, but I know one thing very clearly.
This guy is definitely not someone to mess with; he's not some normal guest either!
"Brother, what do we do now? Should we just take action?"
The girl had the idea of confronting it head-on.
As for me, I had already made preparations.
The reason they didn't take action was partly due to concerns about potential dangers.
Secondly, I'm worried about a repeat of the scabies outbreak.
She could have gained great power, but perhaps due to the ruthless pursuit, Yiyi's energy has not yet fully recovered.
This has always been a knot in my heart.
"Lightning Strike Sword!"
I communicated with my mind.
Without the slightest hesitation, the lightning sword slashed down at an almost invisible speed.
Swish swish swish—
The aquatic plants were immediately cut down in a mess.
The bird roommate fell to the ground with a thud, and a large amount of water was pushed away.
"Master, this thing smells awful! It's making me want to vomit!"
While Lei Jijian was complaining to me over the phone, he was also subtly showing off his skills.
"Hmph, this guy, he was putting on such a show just now, I thought..."
Seeing how smoothly things went, I breathed a sigh of relief.
I slowly turned around.
"Eat! Eat!"
My relief was short-lived when something unexpected happened.
