Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao realized that Xie Lei was the thick-skinned scoundrel type.

Xie Lei chuckled, then crowded in and sat down beside Yang Xiao.

A junior disciple from the Kongtong Sect chopped a large piece of snake meat and passed it to Xie Lei, who pulled out his longsword from his back, skewered the meat and began to grill it over the campfire.

Other disciples from the Kongtong Sect also crowded around, squeezing in to sit with everyone around the campfire and roast meat.

Xie Lei glanced at the Space Ring on Yang Xiao’s left index finger and said:

”Brother Yang really is rich, even afforded this million Crystal Coin Space Ring.”

”Hehe, Brother Xie likes this ring?”

Yang Xiao took off the ring and stroked it, appearing as if he was about to give it to Xie Lei.

Ben Yin and others were shocked, Yang Xiao wasn’t really going to give the Space Ring to Xie Lei, was he? Wasn’t that too generous? Or was it out of fear of Xie Lei?

Seeing Yang Xiao’s actions, Xie Lei’s heart also leaped wildly, wondering if this guy was really a tycoon? Was he going to give it to me?

He quickly suppressed his inner ecstasy and said with a smile:

”Yes, I really like it. I’ve seen it several times at that Genetic Store but never really had the guts to buy it.”

As he spoke, he revealed a greedy look.

Yang Xiao smiled, put the Space Ring back on his finger, and said faintly:

”If you like it, then go buy one yourself. As the saying goes, true love is worth every penny, right?”

Xie Lei’s mouth hung open: ”...”

Bloody hell, are you playing with me?

His initial excitement instantly turned into nameless anger, which had nowhere to be vented, so he just gloomily shut up and grabbed a handful of salt to sprinkle on the roast snake meat.

Ben Yin and Zhang Hai stifled their laughter, and even Zhang Jian, who had some grievances against Yang Xiao, felt gratified seeing Yang Xiao play Xie Lei, and burst out laughing.

Then he realized it wasn’t right, quickly turned his head, covered his mouth with his hands, and even started laughing till tears came out.

Xie Lei, feeling sullen, picked up the soy sauce bottle in front of Yang Xiao and dumped a lot on the meat.

A junior disciple from the Kongtong Sect said:

”Sect Leader, you just put a lot of salt, and now you’re adding so much soy sauce, aren’t you afraid it’s too salty?”

Xie Lei, fuming inside with nowhere to vent, barked at his junior:

”I like it salty, is that any of your business?”

The junior disciple had no choice but to shut up and quickly lowered his head and walked away to roast his own piece of meat elsewhere.

Yang Xiao said:

”Brother Xie, I also have some chili powder here, would you like some?”

”Sure, I haven’t had chili in months.”

”This chili is quite spicy, you should add just a little.”

”Brother Yang, are you being stingy? It’s just a bit of chili.”

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

”Then it’s up to Brother Xie, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Xie Lei, stubbornly grabbing a big handful of chili powder and sprinkling it on his roast meat, thought to himself, let’s see how stingy you can be, I’ll make it painful for you.

The roast meat was covered in a thick layer of chili powder, causing Yang Xiao to show a pained expression.

Xie Lei felt vindicated in his revenge against Yang Xiao and felt contented, humming a little tune to himself.

Soon, the roasting meat emitted a smoky chili aroma, causing those around to cough.

Xie Lei, seeing that the roast was done, took it off the fire, sniffed it, and exclaimed:

”Smells good.”

He took a big bite,

”Yum, tasty, tasty,”

even though his mouth made such noises, his tongue told him, it was too salty, too spicy.

Yang Xiao said:

”Brother Xie, you’re amazing, this chili is very spicy and you can actually eat it, aren’t you afraid of the spice?”

”Haha, such a little chili can’t defeat me?”

Xie Lei showed a look of disdain, took a big bite, and after a few vigorous chews, he swallowed.

Within moments, he had eaten five or six pounds of roasted snake meat.

Yang Xiao’s roast was also about eighty or ninety percent done, he sprinkled a bit of salt, and grabbed a tiny amount of chili pepper flakes to sprinkle on top, only a scarce amount.

Monk Ben Yin saw this and said:

”Brother Yang, don’t eat much chili pepper?”

Yang Xiao laughed:

”This chili pepper comes from Yunpan Country, it’s the king of peppers, a thousand times hotter than regular peppers, and also has a characteristic, it only starts to kick in five or six minutes after eating. You guys should also use it sparingly, just a little for flavor, otherwise,”

Yang Xiao paused deliberately here, glancing at Xie Lei.

Xie Lei looked confused because he already felt a burning sensation in his stomach.

”Otherwise what?”

Xie Lei looked at Yang Xiao.

”Otherwise, I don’t know, but I dare not eat as much as Brother Xie. Last time, one of my brothers treated this chili pepper as a regular one, and after eating it, his intestines felt like they were on fire, he was in pain for a day and a night, had diarrhea for three days and nights, it was terrible.”

Yang Xiao told a real story.

He didn’t know how one of the two bottles of chili pepper flakes given to him by Xu Nanqiang happened to be the super spicy king from Yunpan Country, while what he poured for Lan Xin and the others was from the other bottle.

Originally, he was not planning to use this king of peppers, as such spices were previously used in hotpot restaurants to enhance the spiciness by mixing a little with other peppers, and not suitable for direct use on barbecue.

Yang Xiao indeed intentionally wanted to play a prank on Xie Lei, specifically taking out this bottle of king of peppers.

However, since Xie Lei had eaten it, how could Yang Xiao not eat some? Otherwise, Xie Lei might publicly accuse Yang Xiao of pranking him.

So, Yang Xiao could only continue the mistake since he had never tried the king of peppers himself, only heard that Xu Nanqiang curiously added a spoonful to his own bowl last time, and it was so spicy that he ended up crying and calling for his mom, eating ice afterwards nearly killing him from the ordeal.

Xie Lei looked at Yang Xiao, sweat beading his forehead, feeling like there was a fireball inside his stomach, no, a big brazier, still not right, more like molten lava.

Xie Lei’s mouth twitched a bit, his facial features began to distort, sweat from his forehead now streaming down, no, his whole body drenched in sweat.

”Ah, so spicy, so spicy...”

Xie Lei began to hold back, muttering a few times in a low voice, but ultimately, he couldn’t withstand the burning chili flames in his stomach, suddenly shouting,

”Ouch, it’s killing me, it’s killing me, water, water...”

Everyone was shocked, looking at Xie Lei, Yang Xiao didn’t even dare to eat the snake meat he had brought to his mouth.

Xie Lei took out a large water bottle from his backpack, unscrewed the cap, and began to drink fiercely.

A bottle of water was instantly finished, yet he still felt unbearably spicy, it felt like it was spicy from his throat all the way down to his anus.

He finally understood what the idiom ’a drop in the bucket’ meant, that bottle of water simply couldn’t quench the fire in his stomach.

A few disciples from Kongtong Sect gathered around, shouting:

”Sect Leader senior brother, what’s wrong with you?”

”Water, water bottle,”

Xie Lei said, directly snatching the water bottle from one of them and tilting his head back to drink.

One wasn’t enough, the other disciples also handed him their water bottles.

Xie Lei drank seven bottles of water and still felt unbearably spicy.

At this moment, Xie Lei’s entire skin was red turning purple, veins on his forehead bulging, looking extremely ferocious.

Xie Lei turned around, glared at Yang Xiao, and roared:

”Did you deliberately mess with me? I’m going to kill you.”

As he spoke, he raised his fists, a surging killing aura emerging.

Yang Xiao immediately sneered:

”Xie Lei, don’t wrong me. I did remind you earlier, this pepper is very spicy, asked you to put less, you goddamn didn’t listen, even bragging that you aren’t afraid of this level of spice, now turning the blame on me?

Do you even know how precious this pepper is? Every time our Nanmu City’s canteen stews several huge pots of meat, they only add a small spoon, you went ahead and wasted so much, look, didn’t I also sprinkle this pepper on mine?”

Yang Xiao finished speaking, gathered up courage, and took a bite of roast meat, precisely biting into 2 chili seeds, immediately feeling like a fireball exploded in his mouth.

Yang Xiao chewed a few times, then forcefully swallowed.

”See, didn’t I eat it too?”
