Chapter 118: The Rose Society’s Warning

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: The Rose Society’s Warning

Seeing Shen Manyun being kept behind alone by Lin Ji, the women watched Teacher Shen’s retreating figure with a hint of complexity in their eyes.

Gu Yihan even stepped right up, reaching out to pat Shen Manyun’s plump shoulder.

"Teacher Shen, don’t go contradicting the Captain later," Gu Yihan said, her red lips curling slightly as she lowered her voice. "On this ship, only the Captain gets to contradict you, understand?"

Hearing this, Shen Manyun’s mature face instantly flushed crimson, her slender neck even taking on an alluring shade of pink. Biting her red lip, she stood there with her head bowed, as stiff and awkward as a student who had done something wrong.

"Go on, get out of here, you little brat. Stop teasing me," Shen Manyun chided, though her voice was as faint as a mosquito’s hum.

Soon, a series of muffled sounds came from the deck.

Su Qingyue stood by the cabin door not far away, listening to the commotion outside, her ice-blue eyes flickering. She whispered to Gu Yihan beside her, "Will the Captain give her a rank advancement this time?"

"Who knows? It’s all up to his mood," Gu Yihan replied, crossing her arms and pursing her lips, though she couldn’t help feeling a bit concerned herself.

This time, however, Lin Ji did not choose to upgrade Shen Manyun’s talent. He felt it wasn’t the right moment yet.

"Wait until Tang Ling finishes setting up the greenhouse, then I’ll upgrade you," Lin Ji said, patting Shen Manyun’s shoulder in a tone that brooked no argument.

A good while later, all the commotion gradually subsided.

Shen Manyun straightened her slightly disheveled clothes. "Thank you... Captain," she said, a look of satisfaction on her face, the weariness between her brows replaced by a strange glow.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"Finally here," Lin Ji stood at the bow, his gaze piercing through the sea fog ahead.

On the sea not far away, the outline of a small island gradually came into view.

This island was indeed completely different from the deserted islands they had seen before. A layer of dark purple mist shrouded the island’s upper reaches. The seawater around the island took on an eerie deep black hue, and faintly, one could see enormous shadows moving beneath the surface.

Lin Ji’s eyes narrowed slightly. He knew full well that the monsters capable of swimming in these deep waters were at least Level 4 ferocious beasts.

Gu Yihan also sensed the danger. Silently, she tightened her grip on the Storm Hunter Bow, ready to fight at any moment.

Just as the Heavy Cannon Assault Ship was about to approach the island’s edge, a violent churning sound erupted from the sea ahead.

Immediately after, a slightly dilapidated but massive War Ship rudely cut into their course, blocking their path directly.

On the deck of the War Ship stood an exaggeratedly obese woman. Behind the fat woman followed several plain-looking female crew members.

"Stop your ship!" the fat woman commanded from her elevated position, looking down at Lin Ji with an overbearing tone.

The woman’s body was layered with rolls of fat. Upon seeing Lin Ji’s intact Level 4 Assault Ship, she made no attempt to hide the greed in her eyes.

Lin Ji crossed his arms, coldly sizing up the other party, and did not do as she said.

"A good dog doesn’t block the path. Get lost."

Lin Ji’s voice wasn’t loud, but it carried a chilling pressure.

Hearing a man dare to talk back, the fat woman’s face instantly twisted with rage.

"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Don’t you see whose territory this is?"

She didn’t even want to waste more words, abruptly raising her thick arm and swinging it down.

"You pretty boy, just wait until I pin you to the ground and make you lick my plate clean!"

With her furious roar, a massive wave surged from the sea surface.

Transforming into a thick water serpent carrying immense force, it crashed directly toward the Heavy Cannon Assault Ship.

Lin Ji remained standing at the bow, not even intending to dodge.

As soon as the fat woman made her move, he could sense the surging energy fluctuations.

She was actually a Water-type Awakened with an A-grade talent!

The water serpent slammed violently against the outer perimeter of the War Ship.

The Energy Shield Great Array, which had just been deployed moments ago, instantly manifested a layer of blue light membrane.

Clear ripples spread across the shield’s surface, and amidst a dull, thunderous roar, it steadily blocked this heavy blow.

The War Ship only swayed slightly with the water’s flow.

Lin Ji’s expression darkened completely.

"You fat sow, you’re looking for death!"

"Attacking my array, making me waste an lv3 Crystal Core—can you even afford to compensate for that?"

Lin Ji snorted coldly, his gaze icy as he stared at the fat woman opposite.

Seeing her attack fail, the fat woman was momentarily stunned.

But when she clearly saw the situation on Lin Ji’s deck, the ferocity in her eyes instantly turned into intense jealousy.

Especially when she saw Su Qingyue, Gu Yihan, and the others standing beside Lin Ji.

The fat on the woman’s face trembled with envy.

She believed that in this cruel world, there were very few women who were both beautiful and powerful.

Apart from their society leader, there were hardly any.

All these pretty women on this ship must be useless trash surviving by selling their looks!

"You’re that pretty boy freeloader Ye Xinglan contacted, aren’t you?"

The fat woman pointed at Lin Ji, spat, and began cursing loudly.

"Daring to demand an exorbitant price, taking half of our benefits?"

"And even taking the ten Crystal Cores we risked our lives to obtain?"

The fat woman’s gaze swept over Su Qingyue, Gu Yihan, and the others, then she directly sneered maliciously.

"A whole ship of seductive foxes selling their flesh!"

"Besides spreading your legs to serve men in bed, what use are you?"

"With useless trash like you, all looks and no substance, you have the nerve to come ashore and compete for resources? Hurry up and go back to entertaining clients!"

Hearing this, a flash of killing intent flickered in Lin Ji’s eyes.

He had already guessed this woman was from the Rose Society.

But since she dared to attack him and speak so insolently,

then don’t blame him for being merciless!

With a thought, Lin Ji immediately equipped the [Hidden Wings - Mantis Exoskeleton].

He gripped the sharp High-Frequency Vibrating Bone Blades with both hands.

As the Astral Wind Skill activated, Lin Ji pushed off with his feet, shooting into the air like a cannonball.

He directly crossed the sea surface, charging toward the opposing War Ship.

The intense commotion and argument on the deck immediately woke the three women resting in the cabin.

Qin Yao pushed open the door and saw at a glance that Lin Ji had already surged forward, wrapped in a fierce gale.

"Early in the morning, which fool with a death wish is causing trouble again?"

Her fox-like eyes instantly turned cold, a blazing flame igniting directly in her palm as she prepared to block the enemy ship’s retreat.

At the rear of the deck, Gu Yihan couldn’t even be bothered with idle talk.

Her stunning face was covered in frost, her heart already imagining the fat woman being sliced a thousand times.

Dare to call this young lady a seductive fox?

If I don’t shoot your mouth into a sieve today, I’ll write my name backwards!

Her reaction was lightning-fast, a cyan storm force wildly gathering on her arrow.

The bowstring tightened, firmly locking onto the opposing War Ship for suppressing fire.

At this moment, the core members of the entire Assault Ship displayed exceptional combat discipline and coordination.

The fat woman clearly hadn’t expected Lin Ji’s movements to be so swift.
