Super Gene Hunting Ground

The two arrived at a courtyard behind the library, where Elder Ye usually sleeps and rests.

From a distance, they saw Elder Ye on a lawn stretching his limbs and exercising his body. Even though Yang Xiao and Xiao Ling walked over, he seemed not to notice and continued his own movements.

Yang Xiao clasped his fists and bowed, respectfully saying:

”Good morning, Elder Ye!”

Elder Ye didn’t look at Yang Xiao, still focused on stretching his limbs, doing exercises only he understood.

”Haha, you’re awake?”

”Yes, Elder Ye, there’s something I’m unclear about and I’d like to seek your advice,”

”You want to ask me why I attacked you last night, don’t you?”

”Yes, I think Elder Ye must have his reasons, but I’m puzzled.”

”Well then, I’ll be honest with you. You’ve cultivated the Life and Death Iteration Law of Genetic Evolution, but you don’t know how to enter the state of life and death iteration. Last night, I only helped you reach the critical state of life and death iteration.”

”Ah?”

Yang Xiao and Xiao Ling were both astonished upon hearing this.

This old man had casually helped Yang Xiao enter the state of life and death iteration, then?

Yang Xiao felt moved inside and quickly asked:

”Excuse me, Elder Ye, last night I was in a coma and woke up this morning, does it mean I’ve completed the first level of Life and Death Iteration cultivation?”

”Hmm, you’re indeed a smart lad. Last night you were still at the Peak of King Level. This Life and Death Iteration cultivation allows you to directly enter the Empire Level Realm. You can now go to the Genetic Store and raise your four attributes to 101 points.

Of course, you need enough Crystal Coins, but the old man can’t help with Crystal Coins; I’m just a poor guy myself.”

Yang Xiao chuckled and bowed:

”Thank you, senior, for your assistance.”

On the side, Xiao Ling excitedly shouted:

”Senior, has he really broken through to the Empire Level Realm? It’s simply unbelievable!”

Elder Ye partially closed his eyes, still focused on his own set of fitness exercises, slowly saying:

”Girl, do you think the old man would lie to you?”

”Thank you, Elder Ye, thank you, Elder Ye! This is great, no more worries...”

Xiao Ling was even more excited than Yang Xiao, saying thank you twice.

The old man glanced at Xiao Ling and couldn’t help but say,

”Girl, this lad is a bit of a lady’s man; he’s not your first woman, nor will he be your last. Take care of yourself.”

Yang Xiao: ”@#￥%”

Xiao Ling: ”@#￥%”

The previously harmonious atmosphere instantly became a bit less pleasant.

Yang Xiao looked at Elder Ye with his eyes half-closed, shaking his head, and couldn’t help but curse inside:

”Damn, what straightforward truths are you babbling this early in the morning!”

Xiao Ling’s expression turned peculiar, giving Elder Ye a glance, then turning to look at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao awkwardly smiled, not knowing how to explain, squeezing out a slight smile, showing his white teeth.

The old man slightly opened his eyes and glanced at the two, seeing their embarrassed appearance, seemingly enjoying a sense of mischievous satisfaction, his body movements became larger.

Yang Xiao quickly bowed:

”Elder Ye, you take your time, we’ll be going now.”

Yang Xiao turned and prepared to leave.

”Young one, if possible, spare Qin Xiaotian’s life.”

Yang Xiao and Xiao Ling were taken aback, looking at Elder Ye.

”Qin Xiaotian is somewhat destined to me, just give the old man a bit of face.”

Yang Xiao nodded and said:

”Sure, as long as he doesn’t kill me, I’ll definitely spare his life.”

The two walked toward the library’s entrance.

Yang Xiao thought of Xiao Ling staying up all night watching over him, feeling very touched inside, and recalling Elder Ye’s earlier stirring words, considering Xiao Ling might feel aggrieved, his heart moved, and he reached out to hold Xiao Ling’s hand.

Yang Xiao reached out and gently held Xiao Ling’s hand,

This was the first time the two held hands.

Xiao Ling felt her heart tremble, like electricity, a wave of tingling and numbness, feeling very enchanted, very sweet, but also a bit nervous and scared.

However, Xiao Ling immediately thought of Elder Ye’s words and resolutely shook off Yang Xiao’s hand, her face blushing, biting her lip lightly and walking forward.

Yang Xiao felt a bit awkward, following beside Xiao Ling.

It was early morning, and there were few students on the road.

Yang Xiao coughed lightly, searching for words,

”Xiao Ling, thank you for staying by my side last night,”

Yang Xiao, for the first time, did not address her as Master Xiao but directly by her name.

In fact, the two were not much different in age; Xiao Ling was two years older than Yang Xiao.

For Empire Level Genetic Evolvers, the two could now live at least over two hundred years, the age gap of two years is hardly a difference.

Xiao Ling felt annoyed inside and ignored Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao continued:

”You must be tired, I’ll take you back to rest and sleep.”

”You must be hungry, let’s have breakfast together?”

...

No matter what Yang Xiao said, Xiao Ling didn’t respond, still thinking about Elder Ye’s words, ”You weren’t his first woman, nor will you be his last,” feeling very aggrieved.

Yang Xiao was the first guy she liked, but she wasn’t his first, and worse, she wouldn’t be his last.

Girls have thoughts full of sacred, pure, and romantic notions about love, wishing only one person to accompany them for a lifetime, how can they accept sharing a man with other women?

Xiao Ling couldn’t believe her first love encountered this ”bad guy” Yang Xiao, feeling more and more angry, she kicked a small stone on the road into pieces.

Yang Xiao was startled, carefully saying:

”Don’t listen to Elder Ye’s nonsense, he’s just an old single dog, jealous and resentful seeing others happy,”

Before Yang Xiao finished speaking, Xiao Ling suddenly turned around, standing in front of Yang Xiao, staring at him.

Yang Xiao jumped in fright, quickly stopping.

”What’s up?”

”I want to ask you a question, answer me truthfully.”

”Okay, go ahead,”

”Before you met me, did you have other girlfriends?”

Yang Xiao immediately responded:

”I swear, no, absolutely not!”

I have several wives, where are the girlfriends? Girlfriends and wives should be different, right?

I hope answering like this isn’t considered deceit?

”Really?”

Xiao Ling felt a wave of joy inside but still kept a straight face.

”I swear, truly no girlfriends.”

Yang Xiao said very firmly.

Then added,

”That old single dog Elder Ye is just stirring things up on purpose, can’t you see?”

Xiao Ling’s eyes flashed with a hint of light, turning to continue walking, a smile tugging at her lips.

Yang Xiao quickly walked ahead a few steps, reaching out to grab her hand.

This time, Xiao Ling didn’t shake him off, allowing Yang Xiao to hold her.

Once a woman’s feelings are revealed, it’s almost a tacit admission of her liking for Yang Xiao, especially since Xiao Ling isn’t the coy type.

...

”Hey, Yang Xiao, I’ve been looking everywhere, how come I find you here.”

A voice came from behind.

Yang Xiao turned to look, and it was Gao Lou.

Gao Lou, sweating profusely, ran over from behind, seeing Yang Xiao and Xiao Ling holding hands, he was instantly stunned.

Whoa, even Master Xiao has been won over by this guy?

Xiao Ling suddenly saw Gao Lou, immediately like an electric shock, quickly shook off Yang Xiao’s hand, looking extremely embarrassed.

A mentor dating a student, caught by a student, she was still a bit not used to it!
