Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao continued, saying:

”There’s another thing you must always remember: East King Zhao Benling is also not at home. You must maintain a good relationship with the subordinates of the East King. As for the territories of Magic City and Wentian City, do not talk of waging war lightly. Being able to defend the four provinces is a victory, unless there’s a very good opportunity, only then can you expand. Bear this in mind!”

”What if the enemy takes the opportunity of your absence to initiate a challenge against us?”

Gong Yu asked.

Yang Xiao was momentarily stunned; the scenario Gong Yu mentioned was indeed possible. Would he arrange matters for his own absence, and could Du Tianxing and Gu Beifeng not be doing the same?

Maybe both of them, taking advantage of his absence, were arranging for their forces to look for opportunities to strike at his territory.

After thinking it over, Yang Xiao said:

”The last time we competed for Wuji Mountain with Gu Beifeng, Du Tianxing had originally planned to join forces with Gu Beifeng to attack the three provinces of Tis City and then split them evenly. In the end, I persuaded Du Tianxing over to my side. I wrote just one letter to Du Tianxing, do you want to know what I wrote?”

Everyone was very curious about how a letter from Yang Xiao swayed Du Tianxing to join his team and jointly forced Gu Beifeng to yield Wuji Mountain. Besides Lan Xin and a few others who knew the contents of the letter, most people were unaware of what Yang Xiao had written at the time.

They all looked expectantly at Yang Xiao.

”Boss, don’t keep us in suspense, just tell us quickly.”

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

”I simply wrote to Du Tianxing that Gu Beifeng is Cao Cao, Du Tianxing is Wu Country, and I am Shu Kingdom. Only through a Wu-Shu alliance can we stand against Cao Cao, with the tripartite balance comes long-term stability.

History has proven that Lv Meng’s assistance to Sun Quan in seizing Jingzhou led to the division between Shu Kingdom and Wu Country, and it also accelerated the fate of both being eventually annexed by Wu Country.”

After Yang Xiao finished, he glanced at everyone.

Gong Yu smiled and nodded,

”I understand the boss’s point. That is, we should try to be on good terms with the forces of Magic City and not provoke the power of Magic City. And as for the forces of Wentian City, we can join forces with Magic City to oppose them, right?”

Yang Xiao nodded,

”The world changes in myriad ways, and history will not repeat itself. Commands from afar might not be obeyed to the letter. In my absence, you must make decisions based on the actual situation. The principle is to unite everyone that can be united, and avoid making enemies on all sides when our strength is not yet formidable.”

Zhao Gang said with a smile,

”Boss, what if our power becomes so strong that we can unify the entire Xuanming Country?”

Yang Xiao was startled, King Zhao Gang.

He had not actually considered this point, as he anticipated he would be away for at most two to three months, and not be absent for a long duration.

But thinking back to Gu Bo’s deliberate attitude yesterday, there was always some unease in his heart. After pondering, he said leisurely:

”If the heavens offer it and we do not take, that would still be defying fate. If such a day truly comes, then just go with the flow!”

...

Yang Xiao talked a lot more with everyone. The meeting lasted a whole day, and after dispersing in the evening, they gathered for dinner before each going their separate ways.

Gong Yu, Xia Luo, Xiao Zhe, Huang Wen, Lan Xin, and others felt that Yang Xiao was somewhat odd this time, and they were filled with doubts. After the other people had left, these few gathered around Yang Xiao.

”Boss, what’s the situation? Why have you arranged so many things this time? You’ve been away before, but you never made such arrangements, it’s like you’re settling affairs.”

Long Yongjun said.

As soon as he had finished speaking, he was knocked on the head by Huang Wen beside him, who scolded softly:

”Long Yongjun, are you asking for trouble? It’s you who should be arranging your own funeral.”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Suddenly, Long Yongjun said with a smile:

”Boss, I think you should settle your marriage to Huang Wen before you leave this time.”

Yang Xiao was taken aback and stared at Long Yongjun with wide eyes.

Beside them, Huang Wen felt both embarrassed and annoyed, giving Long Yongjun a kick with her foot.

Long Yongjun dodged to the side and laughed:

”Huang Wen, dare you say you don’t want to marry the boss? And, Boss, you might as well have a group wedding, with Huang Wen, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, and also Lan Xin. The five of you getting married together sounds good,”

Before Long Yongjun could finish, he found himself under attack from Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and Deng Xiao. The three of them pummeled him with their fists as if they wanted to beat him to death with their small, delicate hands, scaring Long Yongjun into hiding behind Yang Xiao, shouting:

”Boss, save me! You have to manage your wives.”

The crowd roared with laughter. Everyone was well aware of the relationships between Huang Wen, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, Yang Xiao, and also Lan Xin.

As girls, Lan Xin and the others blushed with embarrassment as their inner feelings were publicly exposed, all four of them in love with Yang Xiao.

Especially Lan Xin, who was blushing from her neck to the tips of her ears.

Yang Xiao felt very awkward himself. He could handle killing enemies on the battlefield and maneuvering among different factions with ease, but when it came to dealing with the affections of several women, he didn’t have a good solution. Rejecting any one of them would feel like hurting them, but at the same time, accepting all four girls seemed to go against the pre-apocalyptic principles of monogamy and fidelity.

The only thing Yang Xiao could do was glare at Long Yongjun and chide with a smile:

”Nonsense!”

By his side, Xia Luo then said:

”Yang Xiao, it’s the apocalypse now. After more than a year of living through it, we’ve all rallied around you because you gave us the opportunity to grow. In this chaotic world, even survival is difficult. We’re all jianghu children, and there’s no need to fuss about the strict rules and morals from before the apocalypse. Everyone knows that Lan Xin, Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and Deng Xiao truly love you. Just have a simple wedding ceremony with them. Deng Xiao is my cousin, so that would make me your uncle by marriage.”

Yang Xiao: ”@#￥%”

Gong Yu and the others joined in the teasing, saying:

”I think it’s a great idea. Marrying them will give them closure, so they won’t have to keep pining for you. Besides, didn’t the Boss encourage having children and continuing the human race? You should lead by example and set a role model. My wife Xiao Lan is already pregnant!”

”Exactly, exactly. Boss, you’ll be leaving us for who knows how long, so I also support you having a wedding with Lan Xin and the others before you go.”

”I think it’s a good idea.”

”Let’s decide on it.”

”Tomorrow’s a perfect day anyway.”

”Don’t wait until tomorrow, let’s do it tonight. We can even have a bridal chamber prank!”

...

A dozen or so people, all close friends of Yang Xiao, started egging him on. Yang Xiao realized these were his pig teammates, total saboteurs.

Huang Wen and the others initially responded to the teasing with playful punches as a warning, but when everyone joined in the teasing, the four girls blushed and bowed their heads in silence.

Seeing this, Yang Xiao thought to himself, this is trouble, I’m going to be trapped by these pig teammates tonight.
