Chapter 782: 0782 Can I touch your little hand? (Fourth Update)

Ye Qiu couldn’t fathom why Lin Qiao’er had gone crazy enough to ask him out on her own initiative.

Thinking back to Lin Qiao’er’s gentle demeanor just now, Ye Qiu felt a chill and was extremely unaccustomed to it; was Lin Qiao’er ill?

However, considering Lin Qiao’er’s threat, Ye Qiu still braced himself and went to the designated location.

Lin Qiao’er was dressed in a casual blue outfit with a duckbill cap, giving off a sporty vibe with a touch of literary flair.

"Sit," Lin Qiao’er said.

Ye Qiu had no idea what was going through Officer Lin’s mind; her attitude was inconsistent, sometimes good, sometimes bad, making it hard to get a read on her.

Looking at Ye Qiu’s nonchalant appearance, Lin Qiao’er found it impossible to reconcile his Major General rank with his demeanor.

The reason she mentioned asking Ye Qiu out stemmed from two thoughts: firstly, she was curious how Ye Qiu obtained his Major General status; secondly, she thought Ye Qiu, although a bit flirty at times, was generally quite decent. The main issue was her family had been urging her to bring a boyfriend home several times, and she had always brushed them off. Last time she slipped up during a phone call and the family found out she was still single, insisting on arranging blind dates for her. Lin Qiao’er was utterly reluctant, but the first person that came to her mind was Ye Qiu, thus she thought up a plan on the spot to use him as a shield to help her out of the predicament.

"Officer Lin, why did you ask me to come here? It can’t be that you really want to go on a date with me?" Ye Qiu said, blinking.

Lin Qiao’er rolled her eyes at him and said earnestly, "Do you have any idea how dangerous your situation is right now?"

"Danger?" Ye Qiu was surprised, then laughed, "Where’s the danger coming from?"

Lin Qiao’er looked at Ye Qiu’s unconcerned expression and explained, "Do you remember the man you killed? He was no ordinary person."

Ye Qiu uttered an "Oh," wondering why Lin Qiao’er was bringing up Sun Ziyan. Of course, he knew Sun Ziyan was not just any person, but a figure from the martial arts world.

"That man was from the Rakshasa Sect. Killing him means you’ve offended the Rakshasa Sect. Even if your skills are excellent, can you overpower a force that can make an entire nation bow?" Lin Qiao’er said seriously.

So, this girl was worried about the Rakshasa Sect coming after him.

Ye Qiu really wanted to say that she was worrying too much; he would be delighted for the Rakshasa Sect to come for him, as it would allow him to continue increasing his spiritual power.

However, seeing Lin Qiao’er’s serious demeanor, Ye Qiu kept those words to himself; her expression was quite amusing.

"I know you’re strong, that you have connections with the martial arts community, and I don’t even know how you managed to get a Major General position, but even so, Ye Qiu, I must tell you, you’re still in great danger, do you understand?"

"Are you worried about me?" Ye Qiu chuckled.

Seeing Ye Qiu still lounging about and not taking her seriously, Lin Qiao’er thought he was hopelessly arrogant.

"I advise you to leave Zhongshan City for the time being to avoid the Rakshasa Sect’s people."

Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered, and he said, "In that case, Officer Lin, where should I hide? Please enlighten me with a clear path!"

Lin Qiao’er inhaled sharply, coughed, and said firmly, "Like this, I’ll give you a hand. You could hide in Wushan City for a while, and it just so happens my home is there—I can help you hide for some time."

"Of course, if I help you, you have to help me in return."

Lin Qiao’er changed tack, and Ye Qiu asked, "What would you like my help with, Officer Lin?"

"Pretend to be my boyfriend," Lin Qiao’er blurted out, a flash of red quickly crossing her face.

"Pretend to be your boyfriend? Officer Lin, is that really okay? I’m still single, after all. If word gets out, how will I ever find a wife in the future!" Ye Qiu protested.

Watching Ye Qiu’s shameless remarks, Lin Qiao’er stomped her foot in anger, feeling like even pretending to be her boyfriend made him look bad.

"Are you going to agree or not?" Lin Qiao’er surprisingly didn’t explode, but asked in the end.

Ye Qiu didn’t answer right away; with a twinkle in his eye, he said, "I get it now. I guess for you, Officer Lin, avoiding the Rakshasa Sect is secondary; your real goal is to have me help you fool your parents, right?"

Lin Qiao’er, not offering any explanation after being called out by Ye Qiu, knew he was at least eighty percent correct.

"I refuse," Ye Qiu declared sternly.

What?

Lin Qiao’er felt she must have heard wrong; this shameless guy actually rejected her.

"Why?"

"I’m afraid your parents will like me too much, and if I really marry you, that would ruin everything!" Ye Qiu said indifferently.

After hearing this, Lin Qiao’er almost flipped the table. She had seen shameless, narcissistic people before but never someone as shamelessly narcissistic as Ye Qiu. If this guy could become a colonel, she might as well become President of the United States.

At this moment, Lin Qiao’er was increasingly doubtful of Ye Qiu’s supposed colonel identity. She decided she would ask the chief for permission to investigate Ye Qiu’s identity once she got back to the office.

Ye Qiu coughed, his expression became slightly more serious, "Officer Lin’s kindness is appreciated, I’ll accept that. As for pretending to be your boyfriend, I think we can forget about that."

"As for the Rakshasa Gate, I really don’t take them seriously. If they dare come looking for me, let them come."

"Ye Qiu, the Rakshasa Gate isn’t as simple as you think. I know you’re skilled, and you’ve even been an instructor for us, but that doesn’t mean you’re invincible."

"The power of the Rakshasa Gate has forced an entire nation to submit. Do you think you can afford to provoke such a force?" Lin Qiao’er said loudly.

Ye Qiu still wore a smile, calmly saying, "Isn’t it just that Japan recognizes their existence? So what, who hasn’t made Japan stay silent before?"

"What did you say?" Lin Qiao’er carefully pondered the deeper meaning behind Ye Qiu’s words.

"You’re just a low-ranking officer. If you were part of the higher-ups, you might have heard about someone who started at the top of Mount Fuji and killed his way down to the bottom, then left Japan’s territory safely, silencing the whole of Japan," Ye Qiu said nonchalantly.

"So what, you’re not that person," Lin Qiao’er retorted, not aware of the events Ye Qiu was referring to.

Ye Qiu grinned, saying, "And why can’t I be that person?"

Looking into Ye Qiu’s eyes, which seemed playful, Lin Qiao’er saw something different. Her expression gradually froze. She suddenly thought, if Ye Qiu really had such a glorious history, could it explain his S-rank status, his colonel rank?

Gradually, the disbelief in Lin Qiao’er’s eyes slowly turned into belief. No wonder the chief had always been so odd when mentioning Ye Qiu.

Could this guy really be such a powerful man?

"Alright, I believe you," Lin Qiao’er said after a while.

Since Ye Qiu was so outstanding, having him as a shield would seem even more effective.

Lin Qiao’er’s eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Are you really not considering pretending to be my boyfriend?"

"No," Ye Qiu refused very straightforwardly, his demeanor as if nothing could change his decision.

However, immediately after, he revealed a sly, smiling expression, "If you can agree to one condition, I might consider it."

"What condition?" Lin Qiao’er asked.

"Well... could I... touch your hand?" Ye Qiu asked with feigned shyness.

Lin Qiao’er was stunned. Coming from Ye Qiu, the request to touch hands felt extremely sleazy; she even started to wonder if Ye Qiu was a hidden pervert.

"Scram!" Lin Qiao’er couldn’t tolerate Ye Qiu’s demeanor and spat out a word.

"Just a touch will do."

A fire seemed to rise in Lin Qiao’er’s gaze.

"It’s just touching hands, right? I’ve even held you before, slept in the same room as you..." Ye Qiu continued.

Lin Qiao’er’s fury finally reached a breaking point, instantly turning into a Harpy, and she began frantically chasing Ye Qiu.
