Chapter 304: Chapter 240 Don’t Say Anything that Won’t Pass Censorship

The campus of Capital University was sparsely populated, but there were still some people around.

As it neared midday, there were always a couple of students who stayed on campus leaving the library after studying, heading to the cafeteria or off-campus to eat.

And on the main road outside the library, a couple was tightly embracing each other, seemingly very much in love, which made others envious.

Every student who passed by couldn’t help but sneak a peek.

Some students cursed their luck, feeling as unsettled as if they were walking along and suddenly got kicked.

But only Jiang Cheng himself knew the situation was not as bystanders imagined, he and Lin Yao weren’t some lovey-dovey couple, their relationship wasn’t that great, and he was hugged solely because Lin Yao was fast and strong, and he simply had no choice.

“Lin, ‘No intimacy between men and women’, please let go of me.”

Instead of letting go, Lin Yao pressed her head even harder into Jiang’s chest and held on tighter with her hands.

“Brother Jiang, it’s okay, I don’t mind.”

Jiang Cheng was sweating profusely, “But I do mind!

Lin Yao, however, didn’t believe him and, with her head tilted on Jiang Cheng’s chest, said, “If Brother Jiang didn’t like Yao’er, why would your heart be beating so fast?”

“That’s not liking, that’s nervousness!” Jiang Cheng said, then added silently in his mind: If a certain snake finds us like this, she’ll bite me to death right here! How could I not be nervous?

Although Jiang Cheng denied ‘liking’ her, his words meant something entirely different to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao blissfully lay in Jiang Cheng’s arms, thinking: Could it be that Brother Jiang is nervous because of me? He really does care about me the most.

“Lin, please let go!”

“I won’t.”

“If you don’t let go, I’ll have to be rough with you.”

“What kind of rough?”

Jiang Cheng pulled out a talisman, saying, “I’m serious, no joking.”

However, Lin Yao merely glanced at Jiang Cheng’s talisman and continued to hug him contentedly.

Jiang Cheng warned, “If you don’t let go, I’ll really use the talisman.”

Lin Yao turned a deaf ear to him.

Jiang Cheng was not the type to dawdle, if he said he would use it, he would.

He channeled his spiritual power into the talisman, and it immediately emitted a dazzling light!

This was a first-level attack talisman; if it hit an ordinary person, severe injury was not guaranteed, but it would definitely hurt a lot!

Normally, anyone confronted with such a talisman would instinctively feel tense and use their spiritual power to preemptively defend themselves.

But Lin Yao showed no sign of tension or defense whatsoever, embracing Jiang Cheng frontally, leaving vast unprotected areas of her back open to his attack.

Even though Jiang Cheng’s hands shone brightly with the talisman, ready to activate at any moment, Lin Yao made no defensive moves.

She was like a little dog that had been raised from puppyhood, completely trusting, always ready to expose her belly for a rub.

Sincerity is the most effective killer move against good people.

Especially for someone with Jiang Cheng’s moral integrity.

If Lin Yao showed even a hint of defensive intention, Jiang Cheng could persuade himself to launch the attack, reasoning that Lin Yao, being more powerful, could dodge or sustain only minor harm.

But Lin Yao remained defenseless, as if to say: If you dare to attack, I dare to die; I don’t believe you have the guts to do it.

She had a complete grasp on Jiang Cheng’s moral standards.

It was like Prince Liang Hong; if he pressured Jiang Cheng, Jiang would instantly become an immovable jack that could withstand even the Heavenly Dao. But instead of pressuring, Liang Hong used a flexible moral baseline, played the senior card, and knelt down to seek help from Jiang, an approach Jiang found difficult to refuse. In the end, he could only reluctantly agree to the prince’s request.

It was the same with Lin Yao.

She directed her efforts and attention to clinging to Jiang, not doing anything wrong, showing great trust in him, and having the identity of a junior sister—hugging her senior brother was not illegal.

Facing such an opponent, Jiang Cheng’s warnings were as ineffective as hitting cotton.

And with Jiang Cheng’s ‘reasonable’ nature, he would never strike an unarmed and unprepared female cultivator. It didn’t align with his values.

In the end, seeing Lin Yao unresponsive to his bluff, Jiang Cheng could only silently extinguish the prepared talisman.

Lin Yao was now extremely happy: “Brother Jiang, I just knew you wouldn’t bear to hit your dear Yao’er. Brother Jiang is the best to me.

“I just don’t want to bully you, that’s all.”

Lin Yao whispered, “Brother Jiang can bully me if he wants to. Yao’er will only let Brother Jiang bully her.”

Jiang Cheng hurriedly stopped her, “Don’t say things that won’t pass the censor.”

“Brother Jiang, I know why you didn’t want me to hug you just now.”

“You do?”

“Yes, because someone is nearby, right?”

Jiang Cheng was astonished: “How did you know?”

He didn’t recall mentioning the snake to Lin Yao at all. She shouldn’t know about the snake’s existence! How did she know there were people nearby?

Lin Yao smiled slightly: “Brother Jiang, let’s walk and talk, shall we?”

Jiang Cheng, upon hearing they were about to walk, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking at last Lin Yao would stop hugging him.

But Jiang Cheng had underestimated a love-struck girl’s determination; Lin Yao didn’t hug him anymore, instead, she took to clinging to his arm.

And it was the double-handed kind of clinging.

Jiang Cheng had thought of resisting, but Lin Yao was a female cultivator and had too great an advantage in this aspect, it was an overwhelming one.

Every time Jiang Cheng tried to resist, he ended up in even closer physical contact with Lin Yao, and after several attempts, he realized that maintaining the status quo was the best outcome.

Jiang Cheng felt defeated and wondered how, as a male cultivator, he could protect himself when out and about!

“Brother Jiang, guess how I knew there was someone nearby?” Lin Yao said.
