Chapter 107: Chapter 107: The Key to Breaking the Situation Turns Out to Be Living Off a Woman

In the vision, a majestic man wreathed in violent thunderous power looked down disdainfully at Lin Ji, who lay collapsed on the ground.

That overwhelming aura caused even the space around them to warp slightly.

The next second, the purple lightning sword in the thunder man’s hand came crashing down toward Lin Ji.

At this fatal moment, a tall, graceful figure suddenly threw herself in front of Lin Ji.

It was Gu Yihan!

The long sword stopped abruptly just inches from Gu Yihan’s forehead.

The thunder man gave up on striking down Lin Ji but ruthlessly seized Gu Yihan’s arm instead.

"Yihan, haven’t you caused enough trouble out here?"

"Come home with me. Father misses you."

The man’s cold, merciless voice exploded in their ears like a thunderclap.

"Let go of me! I won’t go with you. I’m perfectly fine staying here!"

Gu Yihan struggled desperately, her voice filled with anguish and resolve, her long legs stubbornly resisting the pull.

The man sneered, the lightning around his hand solidifying into tangible shackles as he forcibly dragged Gu Yihan toward him.

At this point in the Prediction, Lin Ji realized he had lasted longer than ever before.

Thanks to his recent strength enhancements, he had managed to see two full seconds further than his previous limit.

It was precisely those two seconds.

They allowed him to clearly see the contours of that man’s face and witness Gu Yihan being forcibly taken away by him.

"Boom!"

The Space-Time Shards shattered violently.

Lin Ji’s eyes snapped open, his head feeling as if it had been struck by a massive hammer.

Overwhelmed by intense dizziness, he swayed, nearly collapsing.

"Husband!"

Gu Yihan cried out in alarm, reacting with lightning speed.

Her long legs propelled her forward instantly, rushing to Lin Ji’s side.

She steadied him firmly, her soft chest pressing tightly against his arm in the process.

The other women all stood up in alarm.

This terrifying ability to foresee the future, no matter how many times they witnessed it, still felt like a chilling, bug-like power.

Qin Yao, standing nearby, was the most excited.

She hurried closer, her captivating peach-blossom eyes brimming with curiosity.

"Captain, what frightening thing did you see?"

Lin Ji took several ragged breaths, incidentally enjoying the astonishing softness against his arm.

His face slightly pale, he turned and cast a complicated gaze toward Gu Yihan.

"Yihan."

Lin Ji took a deep breath.

"On that future island, I saw your brother."

Gu Yihan’s eyes widened abruptly.

Her pupils contracted sharply, her rosy lips parting slightly in shock.

"Gu Yixuan?"

She never imagined this crisis would be directly connected to her.

Lin Ji nodded.

"He severely injured me."

"And you, at the critical moment, blocked a sword strike for me, then were forcibly taken back to the Apocalypse Guild by him."

Hearing this, Gu Yihan completely panicked.

Her slender fingers clutched tightly at Lin Ji’s sleeve.

Her usually proud face was now filled with anxiety and alarm.

"No! Then we mustn’t go!"

Gu Yihan’s eyes reddened as she unabashedly called out that address once more.

"Husband, let’s not go, okay?"

"I don’t want to see you get hurt, and I don’t want to be taken back after leaving you."

Feeling the tremble in her body, Lin Ji patted her waist in return.

"Just don’t rush."

"I haven’t gone yet, have I? There will always be a solution."

Lin Ji’s gaze gradually deepened.

He quickly communicated with the system core in his mind.

"System, based on the recent Prediction scenario, immediately deduce a perfect plan to break the deadlock!"

"Absolutely no severe injuries or loss of personnel are allowed."

[Ding!]

[Initiating the Hyper-Dimensional Destiny Algorithm based on the current situation...]

The system’s cold, mechanical voice immediately began to echo.

Within seconds, a line of glowing blue text projected onto Lin Ji’s retina.

[Deduction complete.]

[Optimal suppression strategy against Gu Yixuan: Befriend and gain the favor of the Rose Society leader, Ye Xinglan. Colloquially: Woo her.]

[Additional analysis: Ye Xinglan possesses exceptionally high talent,

along with an extremely unique energy defense mechanism, which fundamentally and perfectly counters Gu Yixuan’s fierce lightning.

If the host can establish a deep, high-affinity relationship with this target,

in critical moments, the target will undoubtedly intervene, not only preventing severe injury to the host but also successfully forcing Gu Yixuan to retreat.]

Reading this long, serious string of deduction and analysis, Lin Ji’s brow twitched sharply.

What kind of ghostly solution was this?

Asking him to woo the leader of the Rose Society?

After all that, the system’s ultimate solution was for him to hide behind a woman and live off her?

The corner of Lin Ji’s mouth twitched.

But then, smelling the faint fragrance from the women beside him,

he snorted coldly in his heart.

So be it. In this deadly world,

sweet, soft, and fragrant "soft rice" didn’t seem entirely inedible.

Lin Ji gently closed the system’s deduction interface.

He raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the women.

"The system’s proposed solution says the key to dealing with Gu Yixuan lies with the Rose Society leader, Ye Xinglan."

Lin Ji lightly tapped the table, calmly stating the system’s solution.

"We need to befriend her. To be precise, the system suggests I woo her."

Hearing this, the women’s expressions instantly turned vivid, and the atmosphere in the room froze.

"Woo that female leader?"

Gu Yihan couldn’t help but exclaim softly, her pretty brows tightly furrowed.

Although she knew this was to save her, the thought of Lin Ji getting involved with another woman made a thick wave of jealousy surge uncontrollably.

Shen Manyun adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, a trace of resentment flashing in her eyes.

"Captain, the Rose Society is entirely composed of women. If you go, won’t it be like entering a spider’s lair?"

Teacher Shen lowered her voice, muttering with a hint of grievance.

Leaning back in his chair, Lin Ji watched their hesitant expressions and secretly found it somewhat amusing.

He knew these women were probably jealous.

But everyone understood that since this was currently the only good way to break the death threat,

they might complain, but none truly spoke up to stop him.

Amidst a silence tinged with some sourness, it was Qin Yao, dressed in a tight fiery-red leather outfit, who took the initiative to break the impasse.

Her enchanting peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly as she swayed seductively to Lin Ji’s side.

Qin Yao bent slightly, the snug red leather outfit straining tightly with her movement.

The breathtaking snowy-white cleavage at the collar was fully exposed in Lin Ji’s line of sight.

The faint fragrance from her long hair brushed inadvertently over Lin Ji’s shoulder, while her jade-like fingers, slender as scallion stems, restlessly traced circles over the buttons of his chest garment.

She leaned close to Lin Ji’s ear, her breath as fragrant as orchids.

"Captain, tell me honestly."

"When you whisked me away from the Apocalypse Mainship before, did you use the same kind of tactics?"

Lin Ji was amused by her flirtatious behavior.

He unceremoniously raised his hand and gave a firm slap to the curve outlined by Qin Yao’s red leather pants.

Smack!

A crisp sound echoed through the captain’s quarters.

"So what if I did?"

Lin Ji raised an eyebrow, admitting it with utmost nonchalance.

Qin Yao let out a pained, coquettish cry, then shot him a soft, reproachful glance.

"You’re so mean, always bullying me."

Her sugary tone bore no trace of the fiery temper of an A-grade powerhouse, resembling instead a lovesick woman.

Watching the two flirt openly, Shen Manyun cleared her throat softly.

Her expression regained its composure, her tone carrying a hint of concern and probing.

"Captain, since this journey is so perilous."

"Do we really have to take this risk? Can’t we just avoid that island altogether?"

Lin Ji shook his head.

His gaze sharpened once more.

"We must go."
