Chapter 106: The Path Ahead, She Walks Alone
Sensing that something was wrong with Chi Wan’s emotions, Qi Ye slowed his pace and looked down at her intently.
Her eyes, which had been lazy just a moment ago, now seemed filled with confusion, staring blankly into space as if in a daze.
His heart tightened. “Wanwan?”
[Host, she said back then that you shouldn’t waste your efforts. No matter how much you make these seven male leads fall for you, once she arrives, they will all become obsessed with her, Ji Ke, under the System’s irresistible force!]
[So, Host, you can use their current favorability to farm energy points, but you absolutely must not fall in love!]
[Furthermore, I sense that she has moved her plans forward and will arrive early. We have at most one month. It will be very difficult for your energy points to surpass hers within a month. We must leave ahead of time and go to another galaxy to develop in secret.]
Chi Wan’s long lashes trembled. Her vision gradually cleared as she met Qi Ye’s face.
Her heart slowly calmed down as she spoke to the System internally:
“It’s alright. There’s still time.”
She hadn’t fallen in love yet.
But if she continued to have such high-intensity contact with them, she really couldn’t guarantee whether she would eventually fall for one of them.
[As long as you don’t fall in love, it’s fine. Host, there are plenty of men. If Ji Ke wants these seven, let her have them!]
[But if you fall in love, the only one who will suffer later is you.]
Taking in Chi Wan’s gradually distancing gaze, panic began to rise in Qi Ye’s heart. A feeling of imminent loss took hold of him. He set her down, steadied her shoulders, and leaned down to look closely at her. His throat was so tight that his voice was incredibly raspy:
“Wanwan, what’s wrong?”
Those lanzi (blue-purple) eyes looked at him now as if looking at a total stranger.
From her initial fear, disappointment, and intentional distancing to her later silent permission for him to get close—he had seen all her changes.
But she had never looked at him with such eyes before.
The kind of look that said she would never have anything to do with him for the rest of her life.
Qi Ye’s face turned slightly pale. “Wanwan.”
“Commander Qi, please don’t call me that. It’s very… abrupt.”
Chi Wan took a step back, forcefully creating distance between them.
Qi Ye’s hands grasped at empty air. The Silver Python suddenly materialized, domineeringly blocking her retreat and encircling her and him within a cramped space.
He walked toward her obsessively. “What happened?”
Chi Wan shook her head, her back pressed against the cold, smooth body of the snake. Her ankles were gently and tenderly entwined by the snake’s tail, as if it were begging for her pity.
The more it acted this way, the louder the alarm bells rang in her heart.
She wanted to escape.
She lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze, her voice distant and indifferent:
“It’s nothing. I just felt like playing around on a whim, but now I regret it.”
“You’re lying.”
His presence pressed in on her. His jade-like knuckles tilted her chin up, forcing her to meet his green eyes.
At this moment, those green eyes seemed to possess the power to see through the human heart.
Chi Wan shoved him away. Avoiding his gaze, her silver-white energy erupted violently.
“Miss!”
“Let go of our Miss!”
The footsteps of Pu Jing and several bodyguards drew closer from a distance.
The Silver Python vanished. Chi Wan quickly ran to Pu Jing, clutching his sleeve tightly:
“Uncle Pu, I want to go back.”
Chi Wan didn’t reach home until late at night.
She went to sleep immediately after washing up.
However, this sleep was filled with trouble. She first dreamed of her mechanical, virtual home. Her mechanical parents appeared before her one after another, only to turn into strings of digital code and dissipate into the air.
Then the scene shifted, and she appeared in a high-pollution zone.
Chi Wan was startled. She looked down at the weapon in her palm—a long blade she had never used—and the unfamiliar guns at her waist.
The terrifying roars of pollution bodies echoed from ahead. A preliminary estimate suggested at least ten high-level pollution bodies.
She quickly entered a combat-ready state, only to find that her mental entity kitten was gone, and her ability was empty!
Her entire mental landscape was hollow, just as it had been when she first transmigrated.
She looked at the date on her Guangnao in shock.
It was actually several months in the future.
The cry of a phoenix echoed from ahead, and a terrifying realization rose in Chi Wan’s heart.
She was currently in the plot of the novel where Ji Ke was the female lead.
“Guide Chi Wan, stop dazing off! The high-level pollution bodies are surging up!”
A Shaobing nearby gave a kind reminder, but was immediately pulled away by another Shaobing who whispered:
“Why are you reminding her? She just doesn’t want to fight. If her identity as a fake heiress hadn’t been exposed, she’d think herself too good to be in a team with ordinary Shaobing like us.”
“Let’s go, let’s go. Now that we have the over-SSS-rank Guide Ji Ke, Chi Wan is already expendable.”
Chi Wan realized she might be having a lucid dream and warned herself not to take these things to heart.
As the pollution bodies attacked, Chi Wan, whose training had long since become a reflex, rolled and fired her gun.
This gun was clearly not as easy to use as the Ling She 6-88; the bullets felt a bit floaty.
Amidst the chaos, a bullet veered off course and flew straight through the crowd toward the silver phoenix!
Before it could harm the phoenix, it was slapped away by a dragon tail. The bullet hit the hard dragon scales, only scuffing two of them.
The bodies of the high-level pollution bodies were like mountains, giant masses pressing in, making the ground shake violently.
The Black-Gold Dragon carried Cang Lin as they soared over. One dragon and one man stood in the air, looking down at her coldly.
Chi Wan gripped her gun and took several steps back, her gaze wary and stubborn as she looked at him.
“Even at a time like this, you still want to attack Ji Ke. You’re beyond saving.”
The pressure of a full-rank over-SSS level crushed her mental power. That sneering laughter was accompanied by intense disgust, as if she were some unforgivable, ultimate evil.
Chi Wan understood instantly.
This was the chapter where she, Chi Wan, died in the book where Ji Ke was the heroine.
She clenched her palms so hard her nails almost drew blood.
Wake up! Wake up!
The battle ahead was fierce. Ion cannons mixed with massive energy fluctuations. Under the intense energy, even the air seemed distorted.
“Today, it doesn’t matter who tries to stop me—Chi Wan must die here!”
The hunting falcon’s eyes were bloodthirsty. Pei Yuan’s eyes held a sinister ruthlessness.
Then, Chi Wan saw those mountain-like pollution bodies collapse one after another. The surrounded Ji Ke, atop her phoenix, cast a triumphant look her way.
Beside her, Qi Ye, Shi Ye, and Yun Qi—who never left her side—protected her perfectly in the center. From start to finish, they didn’t deign to spare her a single glance.
Li Su looked over indifferently: “Move faster. This place is about to collapse.”
Shen Yu said nothing, only casting a look that said she deserved it, as if her death were a just end.
Chi Wan suddenly laughed. Her beautiful, delicate face paired with this fearless smile created a clash of extreme softness and resilience that was breathtaking.
The trials of this period had already tempered her character into something strong and calm. The soul that had been sent to a virtual world to be a “good girl” for over a decade and had almost been ruined had returned to her world. Although she had lost everything, her heart’s desires and thoughts were gradually becoming clear.
The path ahead—she would walk it firmly and alone.
Without hesitation, she pressed the muzzle of the gun against her temple:
“In my own dream, it’s not your turn to kill me.”
Bang—!
Chi Wan woke up!
She clutched her bedsheets, her head covered in a thin sweat.
“Miss, are you awake? The Family Head said that if you’re awake, you should go to the tea room.”
“Why go to the tea room?”
“The matter has become quite large. The Family Head has invited Mr. Chi, Commander Shi, and Commander Qi over.”
