Apocalypse King: Recruiting S-Tier Beauties With My Ruler System-Chapter 42: Jiang Roulan’s Life Lesson! - Blast Door!

[Congratulations! You have created your first territory.]

"How trustworthy do you think those other residents might be?" I asked Jiang Roulan, ignoring her trying to tease me. Her eyes flicked towards me before she curled her lips into a smile and shifted closer.

"Why?" I noticed that for her age, Roulan enjoyed playing around like this. "Are you really planning to play leader?" She lowered her voice and snorted—maybe she doubted me because of the past?

She had a point I treated Wang Yun horribly, and Old Lei died. "Well, I want to give it a try."

"Oh, really?" She moved closer, walking behind me and nudging me with her shoulder. "Then, I should help you. But... will you make it worth my while?" Roulan asked with a wink before slumping back against the elevator's back wall as a hydraulic hiss sounded when the doors opened.

I watched her for a moment, before stepping towards the exit, then turned to the cocky woman and performed a bow, "after you, dear lady."

"Haha."

She stepped out of the lift with a low snort, both hands on her hips, swaying them purposely to distract me or attract me. Either worked. I didn't rise to it and started skipping towards the first room, preparing to dismantle.

PAH—

"I'll make it better than anything you've ever known," I said before jogging past Jiang Roulan, after slapping her ass, and since she wanted to flaunt it then why not take advantage. Her throat released a lovely sound before she shouted.

"Come back here, John Wang! Don't make me arrest you."

Listening to her voice, I swept my gaze across the floors rooms, dismantling and avoiding her chase, like a predator her legs pushed off the ground. Reaching. Grasping. Aiming to capture me like a petty criminal.

It was fun.

I hopped over a wooden box, avoiding her sliding kick and hopped into apartment 901 while she started panting. The delightful sight of her body bouncing with each step was all mine. Huge, Round and Erotic. Though my focus was on making money.

"Weren't you going to arrest me, Officer Jiang?"

Before she could catch me, I kicked off the wall. My feet walked along the wall, and my newly found agility and dexterity shocked me. "I can walk on water," I shouted, heading into the next apartment, watching Roulan sweating and now sitting on the floor panting out of breath.

She gave up.

I avoided punishment.

Thirty minutes later, I stood near the elevator, happy that my abuse of the system improved my finances. "Roulan, are you still tired?" I asked while twisting my sore muscles and pressing the elevator call button.

"What would you care, leaving me alone, what if I got bit?" Roulan turned her nose away before sitting on the same box I used to avoid her. "I really want to know your secret," her eyes narrowed as she hugged her knees.

"Then become my woman."

It was supposed to be a joke, although she was hot. I didn't speak seriously. The system and chasing each other made me a little too jovial about the situation. "Hm?" But I noticed her eyes change, looking at me with a pensive expression.

"Really, that's all it takes? Aren't you being a little naive?" She leaned back, rocking on the box, to build momentum to stand up and rush toward me.

*Ding*

Jiang Roulan moved like a bull, her muscular thighs propelling her towards me each step boosting her speed as the second the lift door opened. Without time to react, her shoulder rammed into my gut. "Oof."

Crashing back into the lift, she grabbed my right arm as I yanked away, pulling her onto my chest as we tumbled to the ground with a thud.

Deng—

The elevator shook with our bodies hitting the ground, echoing through the elevator chamber several times.

I gazed down at Jiang Roulan's face, inches from me. Lay against my chest.

So close I could smell her sweat and feel the subtle heat of her breath. Something streamed into my body, a warmth that made my abdomen hot. Dangerous. That's what I thought at that moment.

Her hands wrapped around my cheeks, her eyes narrowed with a smug smile. "See, you shouldn't be so open with women, or we'll devour you whole." The next moment, she blew against my lips and rolled off me, standing up and adjusting her clothes. "Tell me when you trust me, if I want to fuck you. I'll do it for free."

'Wow...'

I shook my head, feeling more disorientated than when I fought the zombies or brute... Honestly, despite her reaction, my heart was pounding.

Every gesture she made felt so intense, and my inexperience with women showed. I lost. It was a great lesson, and I will remember it. The lift to the tenth floor remained quiet, with her leaning against the lift with a smile on her face.

Much different from the gentle Jiang Roulan who comforted me. A more mature and aggressive one. I wanted to know more about her. Was that her goal? Watching her confidently walk out to the tenth floor, I swore to defeat her next time.

"Haa, another floor of grinding."

"So, what shall we do now, little criminal?" Jiang Roulan asked.

I considered how much I could tell her, but for now, there was a subtle way to test this. Thanks to her my job would be easy. "What about the others, anyone trustworthy?"

"You mean the ones downstairs, hmm... I haven't really spoken to them." She tapped her chin. It seemed to be her habit when thinking. Also tapping, she liked to tap on wood and metal with her nails. Annoying.

"What are you doing?" She asked, noticing me taking the stairs.

"If you promise to keep it a secret, do you want to see some magic?" I looked back, curling my lips into a devious smile. "This is a freebie for the lesson." With a wink, I jumped down to the ninth floor and landed with a thud, rolling to the side.

"H-Hey."

"Are you coming?" I called out, looking at the stairs to the eighth floor.

"Tsk... you never stop!"

Jiang Roulan huffed before I heard the thud of her steps, before she jumped, floating through the air, with both her feet pushed forward and dropped beside me. Thud— Her body slumped down as she grunted. "Argh... Damn it hurts like hell."

She dropped on her ass and almost slipped down to the eighth floor. It took everything I had not to laugh at her. So I offered my hand. "Here, take it."

"Ah... thank you, but it really hurts..." Jiang Roulan rubbed her buttocks with a contorted face. "Why are you so extreme sometimes? It's like you're barely human..."

She's figured me out. No. Looking at her, it honestly made me irritated to hide everything.

'How do those protagonists hide their strength for thousands of Chapters?'

I just wanted to show off, but realised my strength might only be strong for now. So I just shrugged, pretending to reach for Roulan. "Want me to help rub it better?"

"Oi, hands away, don't push your luck, mister."

"Stingy woman."

I stepped away with a sigh and focused on the door that linked the eighth and ninth floors together. Then started shifting through the door types. Then I found it. The perfect defensive door.

"Roulan what do you think?" I asked.

She looked at the door with a confused expression, pointing at the blocked door and the small scaffolding.

"W-What the hell is going on!?"

Amused by how she reacted, I stepped closer and whispered into her ear. "A little peek at my secret. What do you think? Pretty awesome, right?" Then I copied the way she blew at my face earlier and blew on her ear, slipping up the stairs to flee.

PAH!

"John Wang!" She shouted, chasing me.
