Chapter 236: Breaking the Cocoon, Reborn (Part 22)
She, who has never trusted strangers, for the first time felt an instinctive trust in someone she wasn’t particularly close to.
That’s why she dared to make that probing attempt just now.
"What do you want to know? Just ask me, why bother making a move?" Su Yu reached out, holding her fingers, and the warmth seeped into Han Jing’s skin, making her feel an inexplicable ticklish, tingling sensation.
Han Jing’s body stiffened for a moment.
To be honest, she wasn’t very accustomed to being touched by men.
She had been an actress for many years, but she had always worked alone, was very selective in taking roles, and rarely had any physical contact with men.
The fact that she had a slight obsession with cleanliness was one, but more importantly, before she took on the guise of an actress, the men she encountered during her missions mostly ended up dead at her hands. Her cold fingertips, stained with warm blood, made her feel an unexplainable disgust.
Coupled with her special identity, it also meant she couldn’t have ordinary relationships. She always understood her situation, so she never hoped for things she couldn’t attain.
So at this moment, Su Yu’s sudden gesture made her somewhat uncomfortable.
"You... you, are you a Superpower User?" Han Jing quickly asked what she wanted to ask, trying to dispel the sudden unrest, and also attempting to retract her hand.
But Su Yu showed no intention of letting go.
"Superpower User? That’s a new term. In the Spirit Cultivation Realm, this innate ability is called a special ability. However, those with special abilities are very rare, and once discovered by others, it will inevitably cause a commotion." Su Yu looked at her, "You do have some courage, daring to make a move in front of me."
Han Jing looked at him in surprise, "Commotion?"
Su Yu released her hand, "Your ability is still too weak, and you don’t have a foundation in cultivation. It’s best not to let anyone know you have such a special ability, not even the Imperial Sister. Excessive concern leads to chaos; the fewer people who know, the safer you are now. Don’t say you’re not afraid; the Spirit Cultivation Realm is more complex than you can imagine now. If you don’t want to be taken by them to become a puppet, then be low-key until you fully grow up and have the ability to protect yourself."
Listening to his words, Han Jing muttered discontentedly, "Don’t act like you’re treating me like a child. Even if you’re an elder, you’re not that much older than me."
Before her rebirth, she was twenty-six years old, and Su Yu was at most three or four years older than her. Just because she called him "little uncle" doesn’t mean he can actually act like an elder! Besides, she still vividly remembers the life she lived in her past life. How could she not understand the rules of this world? She just didn’t expect that in this world, Superpower Users were also so sought after, with many trying all means to make them their puppets, to achieve various goals!
If she didn’t have a strange, inexplicable trust in Su Yu, she wouldn’t have exposed her secret! Yet he still thought he could lecture her!
Han Jing’s face was a picture of displeasure!
"Ha," Su Yu chuckled softly, couldn’t help but reach out and ruffle her hair, "Still such a child."
Han Jing felt a line of speechlessness, to hell with childishness!
"Don’t worry, I’m here," as long as he was there, he wouldn’t let anyone bully her.
