Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao could only comfort himself in an Ah Q-like way,

”A good man doesn’t fight with women,”

especially since the other party is his mentor.

Yang Xiao helplessly glared at Xiao Ling and continued to read his book.

Xiao Ling stopped messing around, gave a slight smile, and picked up her book to read again.

Interestingly, she suddenly found herself able to focus on reading, as if meeting Yang Xiao had calmed her inner turmoil.

Xiao Ling unknowingly read for three hours in the library. When she looked up at Yang Xiao, she found him deeply immersed in his book, very focused.

Xiao Ling tapped the table.

Yang Xiao was startled and looked up at Xiao Ling,

”?”

”It’s so late, aren’t you going home?”

Yang Xiao glanced at the clock on the library wall and said with a smile,

”It’s only ten o’clock, still early.”

”How late do you usually stay?”

”Sometimes eleven or twelve, sometimes one or two in the morning, occasionally all night.”

”Is it necessary to work so hard?”

”I don’t think it’s working hard; rather, it’s a kind of enjoyment.”

”Oh, then enjoy yourself slowly, I’m leaving first.”

”Mm.”

Yang Xiao responded with a hum and continued to read his book.

Xiao Ling gave Yang Xiao a look, feeling irritated internally, thinking what an attitude—this beauty says she’s leaving, and all you say is ”Mm”?

Xiao Ling was a flower among the mentors at Flying Leopard Academy, young, beautiful, with a great figure. So many male students drooled over her, but they dared not provoke Xiao Ling, aware of her sharp tongue and contemptuous gaze.

Many male mentors liked Xiao Ling, but no one had ever ignored her departure like Yang Xiao did.

It’s really too much!

Xiao Ling glared at Yang Xiao and got up to leave.

At that moment, there were only three people left in the first-floor library.

Xiao Ling left the library, feeling something unfinished in her heart along the way.

Passing by the academy canteen, the aroma of the night snacks in the air moved her, and she walked inside.

There were quite a few people having night snacks, as Genetic Evolvers, they would replenish their physical strength and Qi after cultivation.

At one table were six people, four men and two women, all mentors.

Seeing Xiao Ling enter the canteen, a handsome male mentor stood up and shouted,

”Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling,”

Hearing someone call her, Xiao Ling turned her head and smiled,

”Luo Hao, what a coincidence, are you guys having a late-night snack here?”

These people were all mentors, responsible for teaching new students different cultivation techniques.

The new students of Flying Leopard Academy numbered over ten thousand, with hundreds of mentors responsible for different courses.

Xiao Ling was in charge of new student registration and explaining the school rules and training, then splitting them into different mentor groups.

Xiao Ling was also responsible for mentoring a small group of new students, including Yang Xiao and others.

The handsome male mentor said enthusiastically,

”Xiao Ling, come join us for a late-night snack, we’ve just started.”

”Ah, no need, you guys eat, I still have something to do, I’ll get a late-night snack to take back to my dormitory.”

”Come on, no need for that trouble, just eat here with us, Xiao Ling, our male god Luo Hao just mentioned you.”

A female mentor named Du Juan said with a touch of jealousy.

Luo Hao smiled slightly,

”Yes, I didn’t see you all day, and when I went to find you in the evening, you weren’t in your dormitory either.”

”Mm, I happened to have something today, you guys eat, I’m leaving now.”

Xiao Ling nodded to the six people and turned to the canteen counter to swipe her card and order two Intermediate meals.

High-Level meals are generally unavailable in the evening.

Xiao Ling packed the two meals and left with the lunch boxes.

Luo Hao’s eyes never left Xiao Ling.

Du Juan chuckled beside him,

”Luo Hao, stop staring, even if you keep watching her like that, she won’t know it. You might as well just go and confess, hehe.”

Luo Hao smiled faintly, ignoring Du Juan’s tone of jealousy.

Another female mentor next to him suddenly spoke up,

”Something’s off.”

”What do you mean ’off’?”

”Isn’t Xiao Ling living alone? She just got two Intermediate meals, plus if she were going back to the dorm, she’d be going through the East Gate. Why did she go directly to the West Gate instead, totally the opposite direction?”

”Ah, you’re overthinking it. Do you have to analyze how many meals someone orders and which gate they use? Could it be that Xiao Ling has a boyfriend?”

Du Juan laughed.

”Haha, that would be something, plenty of people like her.”

”Impossible, she wouldn’t ignore our male god here and go for someone else, would she?”

”Haha... come on, cheers!”

...

The speaker didn’t mean it, but the listener took it to heart.

Luo Hao suddenly stood up and said,

”Oh, I forgot something. I made an appointment with a student to discuss a cultivation technique issue tonight, I’m leaving now.”

After saying that, he left immediately.

Du Juan watched Luo Hao’s departing figure, muttering:

”Isn’t he just going after Xiao Ling, what’s the point of lying?”

...

Luo Hao quickly walked out of the cafeteria, then ran swiftly along the main road outside the west gate of the cafeteria. Moments later, he caught up with Xiao Ling’s figure.

Luo Hao felt a sinking feeling inside,

”Xiao Ling said earlier she was going back to the dormitory, but this clearly isn’t the road to the dorms.”

Luo Hao followed from a distance and saw Xiao Ling enter the library.

”Huh, that’s strange, what is she doing at the library so late?”

Luo Hao also swiped his card to enter the library and saw Xiao Ling’s figure walking through the light curtain door on the first floor.

Luo Hao stood outside for a few minutes, then followed her into the first floor of the library.

...

Yang Xiao was reading when he suddenly smelled the aroma of food, immediately feeling a bit hungry.

Looking up, he saw Xiao Ling standing with a smiling face at his desk, holding a food box in both hands.

”How about it? Can you smell the aroma of the food?”

”Hmm?”

”Hehe, I just passed by the cafeteria and figured you might be hungry too, so I bought you a late-night snack.”

Saying this, Xiao Ling opened the food box and took out the food inside.

The aroma became even stronger,

Yang Xiao felt like saliva was about to drip out, and his stomach growled unruly.

”Bought for me?”

”Yes, who else would I buy it for? It’s just the two of us in the library now.”

”Well, I won’t be polite then.”

Yang Xiao used his spiritual power, and a large piece of meat flew directly from the plate into his mouth, where he started to take big bites.

Xiao Ling chuckled softly, handed Yang Xiao a set of bowl and chopsticks, then picked up the chopsticks herself, only taking a few bites before setting them down again, watching Yang Xiao eat.

Yang Xiao was gobbling down food, glanced at Xiao Ling, and said:

”Why aren’t you eating?”

”Dieting.”

”Haha, with a figure like yours, do you really need to diet?”

For some reason, Xiao Ling felt a strange happiness inside; being complimented is always a delightful thing.

”I have a good figure now, but if I don’t control my diet, it’s easy to gain weight. I don’t want to turn into a woman secretly called ’fat lady’ by the students.”

Yang Xiao shook his head, continued eating vigorously.

A moment later, he finished his share of food.

Xiao Ling then pushed her food towards Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao didn’t hesitate, took it, and finished it as well.

Having watched Yang Xiao eat, Xiao Ling’s eyes laughed as she said:

”Yang Xiao, you owe me now since you’ve eaten my food, you have to promise me one thing.”

Yang Xiao: ”...”

Such a move?

”What, should I spit it out for you now?”

”No, you’ve already eaten it, can’t go back on it.”

Xiao Ling smiled mischievously.

”Alright then, tell me, what do you want me to do?”

”Actually, nothing much, just the matter at the arena today, you can’t mention it in front of me again, and you absolutely can’t spread it everywhere, okay?”

The last two words, Xiao Ling’s tone softened, almost pleading with Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao chuckled lightly,

”I thought it was something big, just this?”

”Hmm, did you agree?”

Xiao Ling looked at Yang Xiao with some excitement.

”Just this, one late-night snack to dismiss it? How is that possible? You did promise to be mine tonight,”

”If you say that again, I won’t talk to you anymore.”

Xiao Ling said with anger.

”Alright, alright, whatever you say.”

Yang Xiao pursed his lips, burped contentedly.

He never really intended to take advantage of Xiao Ling, it was all just a tease.

But thinking about letting Xiao Ling off so easily, felt like he lost a bit.

”But, you’re just dismissing me with one random late-night snack? Isn’t that too easy?”

”You, I... fine, tomorrow I’ll buy you another late-night snack.”

”That still feels too easy, at least buy me late-night snacks for a whole month.”

”Alright, a month it is.”

Xiao Ling laughed softly, stood up, and tidied up the food box, ready to leave.

After taking two steps, she suddenly turned back to Yang Xiao and said:

”I spit in the food you just ate, hehe.”

Having said that, she ran out quickly.

”Damn it, don’t run, next time I catch you, you’ll pay for this!”

Yang Xiao cursed.

Xiao Ling had already dashed out of the library, leaving only a string of silvery laughter echoing inside.
