Arcane: The Gods Want Me to Pick a Route-Chapter 167: Jealousy, Eyes Filled With Danger

Jinx looked at Ahri, then dropped her gaze to herself, then looked back at Ahri again. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Her small face slowly twisted.

Jealousy…

Envy, anger…

For a moment, every emotion a person could have flickered across Jinx's face.

Even though Ahri was only manifesting on Logan as a hazy figure of drifting white mist, and that image was at most seventy percent of her charm—her liveliness and breathtaking features not fully revealed—

Even so, it was more than enough.

Because Jinx suddenly realized… she seemed to lose to Ahri in every way.

Strength? Obviously. That fox spirit had even made the green-eyed woman wary.

Looks? No contest. Ahri's face was so unfairly gorgeous that trying to describe it with fancy words would just be gilding the lily. One word was enough: beautiful.

And then there was that ridiculous, explosive figure…

Just looking made Jinx grind her molars.

Seriously—did she stuff two oversized bombs into her chest?!

Could anyone really be that big? It was more absurd than Vander's pecs!

Chest explosion—chest explosion!

The biggest Jinx had ever seen in her life was back in Bilgewater, when she'd run into Sarah Fortune.

But the redhead had been wearing a corset and a tight wrap—barely holding everything in, like one wrong breath and it'd all spill out!

This woman? Her clothes were loose.

Loose!

So why, with loose clothes, was it still that big?

The more Jinx thought about it, the angrier she got.

What are you even planning to do with those? Crush someone to death? Trying to make sure everyone knows you ate well as a kid and had perfect nutrition?!

Logan was in agony.

Physically, his body was bearing the pressure of Ahri forcing her way across, like every bone in him was about to be ground into powder.

And mentally, he was suffering too.

Because he'd been watching Jinx the whole time, and seeing her expression now made him want to laugh and cry at once.

That helpless mix of amusement and despair hit Logan so hard it almost felt like a talent of its own.

He knew Jinx too well. The moment he saw her eyes glued to Ahri's chest like they were physically stuck there, he knew exactly what she was thinking.

She was jealous that Ahri was so… well-endowed.

But the problem was, among female champions, Ahri wasn't even the biggest.

If Jinx ever met Sona, she might just explode in furious grief and take the whole world with her.

It really wasn't fair.

Jinx had a cute face, a great build, and legs that were slim, long, and straight—but compared to Ahri, Sona, Sarah Fortune, and those other genetic lottery winners…

Jinx got utterly destroyed.

They had everything.

And somehow, as if the universe still hadn't finished kicking her while she was down, Jinx's eyes drifted lower.

Then slightly to the side.

And there it was.

Ahri's butt.

Jinx's eye twitched.

It wasn't just the chest? She had the whole package?

Before she could stop herself, her brain betrayed her with other comparisons.

Vi—that firm, tight ass she'd seen more times than she wanted to admit.

Irelia's—smooth, absurdly sensual and generously built that looked sculpted to ruin someone's peace of mind.

Logan saw the exact moment Jinx's stare shifted, saw her expression twist all over again, and immediately knew she had moved on to a new target of suffering.

At that point, he didn't even need to guess.

First the chest, now the butt.

Logan, enduring enough pain to qualify as a living tragedy, could only think one thing through the haze of it all.

Please, for the love of everything, don't let Jinx and Kai'Sa meet anytime soon.

"Time's running out, Logan. I have to go back!" Ahri had been paying attention to his condition, and seeing him about to collapse, she hurriedly spoke.

Then she glared at Karma again, fierce as ever.

"Remember what I said, Karma. Don't bully my person. If you do, I'll drag all of you in here!"

Karma gave a wry smile, nodded, and said softly, "Now that I've seen you, I already have my answer. I won't trouble him again."

Ahri nodded in satisfaction. But before leaving, she couldn't help glancing at Jinx and sending her a thread of goodwill.

The person she'd seen the most in Logan's memories was Jinx, so Ahri had been curious about her too. Even if Jinx's soul looked far more complicated, Ahri was willing to accept every soul.

But the moment she looked—

Ahri froze.

Because Jinx was craning her neck forward, puffed up with anger, staring at Ahri's body with clenched teeth—her eyes so furious they looked ready to catch fire.

At first, Ahri didn't understand. She couldn't figure out what she'd done to upset Jinx.

Then, all at once, as if something clicked—

Ahri's face went red. She blinked hard, snapped open a portal, and dove through it in a blur.

Because seeing Jinx instantly reminded her of the things she'd seen in Logan's memories.

Things that were… intense.

Things kids definitely weren't supposed to see.

Once Ahri disappeared, the crushing pressure vanished with her. The pain faded too, but what surged in right after was a heavy, overwhelming weakness.

Logan immediately checked his status panel.

Not bad.

His Soul Strength had only temporarily dropped by around eighty percent.

Logan's current Soul Strength was: (6.1/30.6)

A Soul Strength of 6.1 still made him much stronger than an ordinary person. He'd thought Ahri's "weakness period" meant he wouldn't even be able to walk—he'd have to lie in bed and do nothing.

But looking at it now, the price of letting Ahri possess him was something Logan could completely accept.

"I was reckless," Karma said, raising her hand. A green orb of light soothed the lingering discomfort in Logan's body. "I should have investigated first. If I'd known you were connected to that spirit, I would have been more polite."

Logan took the chance to stand and look at Karma.

With Ahri gone, Karma also withdrew her presence, and that finally made Akali and Irelia dare to speak.

"Logan, didn't you tell me the deity behind you was a Zaunite spirit?" Akali demanded at once, her eyes full of confusion. "But the one just now—I've seen her. I've read about her in books. What is going on?"

That had been a Spirit Blossom Spirit!

Irelia was still dazed too. She couldn't understand it either—why could Logan, a Zaunite, be tied to an Ionian spirit like that? And it looked like their relationship was good.

That Spirit Blossom Spirit had been ready to fight Karma for Logan!

Logan didn't answer Akali. He looked at Karma instead.

Karma said calmly, "I still have many questions I want to ask you. But now it depends on whether you're willing to answer. I won't force you anymore. If the Spirit Blossom Spirit was willing to appear to protect you, that proves you're not a bad person. Your arrival and your ability won't bring disaster to Ionia."

"On the contrary," Karma murmured, her eyes glinting, "you may bring Ionia a good change."

"I gained this ability by accident," Logan said. "I can cross beyond the material plane at any time and enter the spirit realm."

When Karma saw he was willing to answer, she smiled and stepped forward, about to continue questioning him.

The countless voices in her mind were urging her too: if Logan could meet a Spirit Blossom Spirit, then what about the other gods in the spirit realm?

Maybe Logan was the one who could mend the rift between the two realms.

But just as Karma was about to speak, Logan gave a bitter smile.

He shook his head at her. "Sorry. I want to answer your questions, and I want to talk—but now really isn't the time."

"Could you all step outside for a moment?" Logan said to the three women present.

It wasn't only Karma who had questions. Irelia and Akali had questions too.

Their heads were full of question marks, waiting for Logan to explain everything.

But compared to them, Logan had a more urgent problem to solve—

The person walking up behind him, step by step.

"Logan," Jinx's voice came from behind him, "who was that woman just now?"

Facing the three women with his back to Jinx, Logan lifted his shoulders in a tiny shrug.

Karma, Irelia, and Akali immediately understood what he meant.

Karma smiled, took one step—and vanished from the spot.

Irelia and Akali hurried after her.

The room was left with only Logan and Jinx.

Logan turned around—

And saw Jinx, up on her toes.

Jinxie's nose pressed against Logan's lips, her eyes filled with danger.

Oh boy.

Ahri… you really left me one hell of a mess.

But hand on my heart—nothing ever happened between Logan and Ahri. Even if he had the nerve to want it, he definitely didn't have the guts.

Logan reached out, pulled Jinx close, and guided her to sit down. His expression turned serious.

"Jinx, listen. Let me explain."

"I'm listening," Jinx said, narrowing her eyes.
