Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Fighting Over a Man

Qin Yao deliberately thrust out her impressive chest, her voice husky and alluring:

"Taking a bath alone is so boring. How about... joining me?"

Hearing this blatant invitation, Lin Ji was momentarily stunned.

He hadn’t expected this crazy woman, who showed no mercy when killing, to be so brazen and unrestrained in this regard as well!

However, faced with such a peerless beauty served up on a platter, Lin Ji naturally wasn’t one to refuse.

Especially when recalling earlier in the cave.

When he used [D-Rank Yin-Yang Harmony] to extract the Fire Poison from Qin Yao’s body.

That incredibly violent sensation, instantly transformed into pure Life Essence, brought an extreme pleasure.

The feeling of every cell in his body being reignited and filled with power still lingered in his memory.

If they could engage in another deep exchange in this transparent bathroom...

Lin Ji’s Adam’s apple moved almost imperceptibly, a fiery heat rising in his eyes.

Yet, just as he was about to step forward.

Gu Yihan, standing to the side, instantly turned extremely pale.

From the moment this red-haired madwoman boarded the ship, Gu Yihan had felt a strong sense of crisis.

Not only because Qin Yao’s A-grade combat prowess easily surpassed her own.

But also because she keenly sensed that in Lin Ji’s gaze toward this woman.

Beyond mere utility, there was now a trace of undisguised desire for conquest!

Now, this woman was openly seducing her man right in front of her!

How could Gu Yihan, who had always considered herself Lin Ji’s rightful partner, swallow this insult?

"Qin Yao, have you misunderstood something?"

Gu Yihan abruptly stepped forward, positioning herself between Lin Ji and Qin Yao.

She lifted her delicate chin, adopting the aloof demeanor of a Deputy Captain.

"This is our Captain’s quarters, not some brothel of your Apocalypse Guild."

"If you want to bathe, hurry up and do it, then get out! Don’t flaunt yourself here."

Faced with Gu Yihan’s hostility, Qin Yao wasn’t angered; instead, she looked Gu Yihan up and down with interest.

"Tsk tsk, the little girl has quite the temper."

Qin Yao chuckled softly, her eyes carrying a condescending disdain.

"What? Afraid I’ll take your place?"

"Or do you think your mediocre skills can match up to mine?"

"And when it comes to fighting over a man, do you really think a little girl like you can compete with me?"

The atmosphere between the two instantly grew tense, the air almost crackling with the scent of gunpowder.

Gu Yihan, infuriated, laughed coldly. Knowing she was no match for Qin Yao in combat at present, she opted for a psychological attack instead.

"Whether I can compete or not isn’t for you to decide!"

Gu Yihan stared at Qin Yao’s fiery figure and suddenly sneered, her tone laced with venomous sarcasm:

"As for you, looking at your practiced, seductive appearance."

"In the Apocalypse Guild, I wonder how many men have used you as a plaything until you’re worn out?"

"Our captain may not be picky, but he doesn’t just take in any worn-out shoes!"

These words were undeniably venomous, striking directly at the most sensitive point for any woman.

However, Qin Yao did not react with the furious embarrassment Gu Yihan had anticipated upon hearing this.

She merely stretched her long arms lazily, then turned her head, casting an ambiguous and resentful look toward Lin Ji.

"Little girl, you’re wronging me here."

Qin Yao licked her lips, her voice seductive enough to melt bones.

"Though I may be crazy, my standards are quite high."

"Before today, I was still a pure, untouched original."

At this point, she deliberately paused, a hint of teasing and provocation flashing in her eyes.

"But..."

"Your captain here was quite rough in the cave earlier."

"He made my first time so painful and rushed—the experience was utterly terrible."

Qin Yao gave Lin Ji a flirtatious glance, her tone carrying a mix of coquettishness and madness:

"Lin Ji, shouldn’t you... properly compensate me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Yihan’s face instantly turned pale and then flushed with anger.

She knew exactly what Lin Ji had done to Qin Yao in the cave.

But she never expected...

This outwardly shameless, murderous madwoman—that really was her first time!

And now, not only was this woman shamelessly bringing it up, but she was openly using it as an excuse to demand compensation from Lin Ji right in front of her!

This blatant seduction and provocation made Gu Yihan feel a surge of bitterness rising to the top of her head.

Feelings of grievance and jealousy nearly made her lose her temper on the spot.

Watching these two women bicker and compete over him, Lin Ji felt a headache coming on.

He rubbed his temples and pulled the nearly furious Gu Yihan into his arms.

"Enough, both of you stop arguing."

Lin Ji’s tone turned serious, exuding the authority of the head of the household.

"From now on, we’re all sisters on the same ship."

He patted Gu Yihan’s shoulder and looked directly at Qin Yao, speaking without reservation:

"But rules still need to be established."

"Yihan is my most beloved woman and the Deputy Captain of this ship."

"Qin Yao, if you want to stay on this ship, not only will you have to listen to me, but you’ll also need to follow her arrangements in daily matters."

Upon hearing this demand, the hint of amusement in Qin Yao’s eyes faded slightly.

She snorted coldly, her pride and madness as an A-grade powerhouse resurfacing.

"Lin Ji, aren’t you being a bit too confident?"

"Making me take orders from this little girl?"

Qin Yao unabashedly displayed her figure, which was even more alluring and fiery than Gu Yihan’s.

"In terms of strength, I’m A-grade. The entire ship combined isn’t enough for me to handle with one hand."

"In terms of figure and looks, I believe I’m no worse than her, and I could even give you more pleasure."

"Why should I settle for being beneath someone else?"

Qin Yao took a step forward, staring down Lin Ji with overwhelming pressure.

"Chauvinism should be kept in check depending on the situation."

"You’re just a support type who forcibly boosted your attributes through unknown means, without even a combat talent."

"It’s already quite an achievement that you managed to hold this situation together with your little tricks."

"Do you really think that with your half-baked abilities, I’d willingly become your subordinate and endure this little girl’s attitude?"

Hearing Qin Yao’s words full of mockery and disdain,

Lin Ji didn’t get angry, only a chilling coldness flickered in his eyes.

He slowly released Gu Yihan and walked step by step toward Qin Yao.

The distance between them became so close they could feel each other’s breath.

Qin Yao could even smell the masculine scent of hormones emanating from Lin Ji.

"Do you think this is all the ability I have on the surface?"

Lin Ji looked directly into Qin Yao’s bloodshot peach blossom eyes, his tone calm yet carrying an imposing authority that commanded respect without anger.

"You’re wrong."

"On this ship, it’s not about who is stronger that determines their status."

"It’s about who can please me that determines their status!"

Lin Ji’s right hand slowly rose.

The next second.

An extremely violent, scorching, and destructive dark Red energy instantly gathered in his palm!

The temperature in the surroundings, which had already been lowered by the air conditioning, seemed to be instantly drained away at that moment, the air distorted and blurred by the terrifying heat.

The fluctuations of that energy, its dazzling hue, the heart-palpitating pressure...

For Qin Yao, it was all too familiar, too deeply etched in her memory!

Because that was the very source power that had nearly caused her to explode!

"How is this possible?"

Qin Yao’s pupils contracted to their limit, her entire body as if struck by lightning, instinctively taking half a step back.

She stared fixedly at the violent flames in Lin Ji’s palm.

Her originally arrogant, somewhat crazed pretty face was now filled with unprecedented extreme shock!

"You... how can you also... use Volcanic Magma Burst?"

Qin Yao’s voice became sharp and distorted from extreme terror.
