Chapter 0184

Faced with the furious crowd, Lin Jian was forced to kneel and apologize a second time—this time in front of millions of online viewers. Unbeknownst to him, what had started as a livestream with a few hundred alumni had now exploded into a spectacle watched by over a million strangers.

There was no helping it. The news about the son-in-law of the top financial conglomerate was simply too explosive, instantly catapulting the livestream to the number one spot in viewership.

At the same time, many people were seeing Luo Yao’s face on the marriage certificate for the first time.

Just then, Luo Yao herself strode forward, unable to hold back any longer.

Everyone was stunned by her beauty, especially the students of Jingda University, who were seeing her for the second time but still marveled at how flawlessly perfect she was.

Her beauty was absolute, without a single flaw.

They also recalled her last appearance, when she had warned, "Finally, I’d like to remind some people to keep their eyes open. Don’t approach those you shouldn’t, and never dare to bully the person who belongs to me."

So she really had meant Lin Ran all along.

Without a word, Luo Yao stepped onto the stage and immediately slapped Liu Ruxue, sending her staggering.

Liu Ruxue glanced at Lin Ran, only to find his gaze fixed entirely on Luo Yao, not sparing her even a sliver of attention.

Heartbroken and powerless against Luo Yao, she decided to feign fainting to win sympathy.

Her unsteady body swayed dramatically.

"Trying to escape public humiliation by pretending to faint?" Luo Yao said coldly.

Liu Ruxue: "…?!"

Lin Ran moved to Luo Yao’s side. "Wife, you’re here… wuwuwu."

He’d discovered a pattern: the more pitiful he acted, the less likely he was to get scolded.

Sure enough, Luo Yao turned to him, her eyes filled with affection.

"Ah Ran, what did you just say?"

Lin Ran sniffled. "I said you’re here, and I was almost bullied to death by them."

Without hesitation, Luo Yao stood on her tiptoes and kissed him—flaunting their love in front of the entire live audience.

Luo Yao whispered, "As promised. Anytime, anywhere."

This time, Lin Jian didn’t dare provoke her. Even Liu Yuemei kept her head down, avoiding Luo Yao’s gaze. The heiress of the top financial empire had repeatedly proven her ruthless nature to them.

Overwhelmed by happiness, Luo Yao tried to pull Lin Ran away, but he stopped her.

Her eyes softened. "What’s wrong?"

"The event isn’t over yet."

"Alright, I’ll stay and watch with you."

At that moment, Lin Ran picked up the microphone.

"Fellow students, teachers, and honored guests—thank you for witnessing my happiness. Since you’re here, let me give you something to remember."

With a wave of his hand, the stadium’s giant screen lit up, revealing footage that sent shockwaves through the crowd.

The video showed Liu Ruxue and Lin Jian in an unspeakable act.

Lin Ran, ever considerate of public sensibilities, had pixelated the footage—but with a twist.

While others blurred faces, he blurred everything except the faces.

Gasps erupted, and the stadium erupted into chaos.

"Holy shit! Aren’t Lin Jian and Liu Ruxue supposed to be… cousins?!"

"HAHAHA! I’ve lost my mind. The world has officially ended."

"Accusing Lin Ran when they’re the real experts in forbidden love!"

Luo Yao watched Lin Ran’s public execution of Liu Ruxue and Lin Jian, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Meanwhile, the livestream abruptly cut to black—banned for five minutes due to violations.

The chat exploded:

[WTF?!]

[Why cut it off at the best part?! WHY?!]

[Was that Luo Yao just now? She’s unreal.]

[I thought Lin Ran was just a political marriage for her. Seeing them like this… I was wrong.]

[This livestream is wilder than any drama.]

[Am I the only one who noticed Lin Jian and Liu Ruxue are actually cousins?]

[What kind of next-level incest is this?!]

[Incest lore: Originated from a foreign couple whose father broke their legs. They fled to another country to live freely, hence the term.]

[Thanks for the trauma. Never explain again.]

Onstage, Lin Jian’s eyes bulged in disbelief.

Meanwhile, countless phones were raised to record the scene. Luo Yao finally took Lin Ran’s hand and led him offstage.

What came next wasn’t their concern.

"Wait, wait! I haven’t proposed yet!"

Luo Yao froze. She hadn’t realized Lin Ran had more planned.

"Ah Ran…"

Tears finally spilled down her cheeks.

"Wife, what’s wrong? Don’t cry, I—"

"Ah Ran, it’s too loud here. Let’s go." She didn’t want others to see her vulnerability—it might bring trouble for him.

Luckily, their bodyguards had formed an impenetrable circle around them, shielding the moment.

"Alright, let’s leave."

The proposal could wait, but Luo Yao’s tears couldn’t. And the noise was unbearable.

Damn that bastard Lin Jian.

Luo Yao skipped the remaining events, feeling like the luckiest woman alive.

Principal Tang called out desperately as the bodyguard-entourage moved away, "Student Lin Ran! President Luo!"

Just then, Liu Meng approached him.

"Principal Tang, President Luo finds your stadium too small and the seating insufficient. Today’s arrangements were unsatisfactory."

Principal Tang was baffled.

"Assistant Liu, what does President Luo mean?"

"She’s displeased with Lin Jian’s appearance and the venue’s capacity. Your university needs a stadium that seats tens of thousands—with one condition: Next time Young Master Lin speaks, every seat must be filled."

Principal Tang stood speechless, utterly lost in the wind.

Five minutes later, the livestream resumed. Lin Jian’s group had long been escorted out.

Seizing the moment, Wu Zhishang began his promotion.

Originally, the school had allotted him a mere thirty seconds for ads at the end.

But with Lin Ran’s unprecedented popularity, the staff urgently reported to Principal Tang, who blurted, "Holy shit! Get Wu Zhishang onstage now!"

Wu Zhishang boomed, "Everyone, Lin Jian was a fake brother—I’m the real one! Currently managing at Lin Ran’s Warm Yao Media. On behalf of the company and Lin Ran, I announce…"

He milked Lin Ran’s fame to perfection. Though viewership had halved, the numbers remained staggering.

Lin Ran’s hype persisted, and with Chen Qingtian—a top-tier actress—attached to the short film, it skyrocketed to trending.

The release date was set for mid-November.

ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort.

As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation?
