Super Gene Hunting Ground

Early the next morning, when Yang Xiao woke up and reached out his hand, he found only a pillow in his arms.

He opened his eyes and didn’t see Xiao Ling.

Yang Xiao got up and couldn’t find Xiao Ling in the living room, study, or kitchen. As he started wondering, he found breakfast prepared on the dining table along with a note.

Yang Xiao, I have work today, so I went to work first. Eat the breakfast before you leave. Miss you!

The message was from ”Ling.”

Yang Xiao smiled slightly and added a line behind the note:

”Bring some night snacks tonight, and a good jug of wine too.”

Yang Xiao went to take a shower, got dressed, and finished breakfast. By then, it was already ten in the morning.

Back at the library’s backyard, Elder Ye was lying on a deck chair with his eyes closed, sleeping. Yang Xiao quietly walked past him.

”Hey kid, had a good time last night?”

”...”

Yang Xiao stopped, smiled awkwardly, and thought, this old man knows everything! Luckily, we didn’t do anything indecent in the library last night, or I’d really be embarrassed.

”Elder Ye, do you want me to introduce a girlfriend or partner for you?”

”You cheeky brat, making fun of the old man, watch me not beat you up.”

The old man sat up and raised his hand as if to hit Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao ran quickly into the backyard room, laughing out loud.

Elder Ye lay back on the deck chair, shook his head, and sighed:

”Oh, to be young is so good!”

Yang Xiao continued cultivating the Life and Death Iteration Law and reading books.

After midnight, Xiao Ling came again with a food box.

This time Yang Xiao didn’t eat everything himself. He kept only one dish for himself and took the rest of the food and wine to Elder Ye in the backyard of the library.

”Elder Ye, this is for you.”

Yang Xiao opened the food box, and the aroma spread everywhere.

He opened the wine jug and handed it to Elder Ye’s nose.

Elder Ye took the wine jug unceremoniously and drank a big gulp, laughing:

”Kiddo, little lover is here, so you’re using this to keep my mouth shut?”

”Why would I need to keep your mouth shut? You can choose not to eat. Xiao Ling and I are open about it, neither married and no need to shut your mouth.”

Yang Xiao said, pretending to grab the wine jug.

The old man quickly said:

”Alright, alright, I won’t interfere with your interactions, just saying, why nervous...”

Yang Xiao reminded Elder Ye to enjoy the meal and drinks, then returned to the library’s first floor and chatted with Xiao Ling for a while. Then they left the library together and went back to Xiao Ling’s dormitory.

...

Days continued like this, and Yang Xiao lived fully and happily every day, cultivating and reading in the library during the day and sneaking back to Xiao Ling’s dormitory after midnight.

For a while, Yang Xiao seemed to have disappeared from everyone’s view.

Even though Yang Xiao had now broken through to the Emperor Level Realm, he hadn’t applied to transfer to the Advanced Academy Department.

According to Yang Xiao’s plan, he would consider entering the Advanced Academy Department only when he could no longer make progress in the library.

In fact, Yang Xiao was eager to go to the practice room to undergo particle radiation and enhance his genetic evolution, but the practice room opened from 9 a.m. to midnight, with lots of people and eyes around, temporarily unsuitable for such crowded places to cultivate.

One day, deep in the night, Yang Xiao went to Yelu Caiyun’s villa, chatted with her for a bit, and told her he was now at the library and she could find him if there was anything urgent.

He also inquired about Bing’er.

Bing’er was doing fine; after her four attributes reached 10 points, she started moving towards higher evolution stages.

Although Bing’er was also at the library, she rarely encountered Yang Xiao. Bing’er said she could finish reading books on the first floor in a month and then move to the second floor.

In about a month’s time, Yang Xiao cultivated the Life and Death Iteration Law and finally condensed another inner core within his body.

However, this time, Yang Xiao didn’t plan to have Elder Ye stab him with a sword. He planned to try running the Heavenly Silkworm Technique; if successful, it would be a tremendous opportunity for his genetic evolution pathway.

Yang Xiao didn’t intend to hide anything from Elder Ye; it’s foolish to hide anything before such a super strong person.

”Elder Ye, I plan to break through the second tier of the Life and Death Iteration Law.”

”Oh, when do you need me to stab you with a sword? Just say the word anytime.”

”...”

That sounded so awkward!

”This time, I want to try a new cultivation technique, using a technique to break through the second tier of the Life and Death Iteration Law.”

”Cultivation technique?”

Elder Ye was startled, looking at Yang Xiao.

”Yes, didn’t you tell me last time that you knew a senior who used a special technique to make their body temporarily enter a near-death state? I happen to know such a technique and want to try it.”

A strange gleam flashed in Elder Ye’s eyes and disappeared instantly, as he said lightly:

”You need to make sure it’s safe, think it through, don’t lose your life, your little lover has many admirers.”

Yang Xiao really wanted to curse but held it in.

”It doesn’t matter if others like her; my sweetheart likes only me, no one can take her away, haha.”

Yang Xiao turned and walked towards the backyard.

Elder Ye lay back on the deck chair, muttering to himself:

”Who says? If you become a dead man, can she guard your corpse for a lifetime?

Ah,

people all say immortals are good; only the love of a wife is unforgettable,

you speak of love every day, and upon your death, she’s gone with another.”

Yang Xiao heard this and paused, stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at the old man’s deck chair, suddenly asking:

”Old man, were you cuckolded by your wife in your youth?”

Elder Ye was taken aback,

The yard suddenly fell dead quiet, but Yang Xiao sensed the atmosphere was off, and he quickly ran towards the back room.

”Scoundrel, nonsense!”

Just as Elder Ye roared furiously, Yang Xiao felt a chilling killing aura come from behind.

”Bang!” A loud noise,

The place where Yang Xiao initially stood exploded into a one-meter-diameter pit, rocks flying and dust billowing.

”Kiddo, if you spout nonsense next time, see if I don’t strip your pants and spank your butt.”

Elder Ye muttered, lying on the sofa, face slightly agitated.

If Yang Xiao were in front of him now, he could clearly sense the old man recalling some unforgettable past.

Yang Xiao knew Elder Ye was just frightening him; otherwise, with Elder Ye’s cultivation, his ten lives wouldn’t be enough for Elder Ye to kill.

”This old man, his wife cuckolded him and he’s taking it out on me.”

Yang Xiao muttered internally, closed the room door, and began running the Heavenly Silkworm Technique inside the room.

Yang Xiao was now operating the ninth layer of the Heavenly Silkworm Technique, which when activated could make his body enter a temporary near-death state.

The Heavenly Silkworm Technique originates from Wudang Ancient Martial Arts, one of the secret techniques of the Wudang Sect.

While on Purple Origin Star, Yang Xiao had already cultivated the Heavenly Silkworm Technique to the ninth layer, helping him raise the Four Genetic Attribute values by 9 points.

However, after reaching the ninth layer, Yang Xiao repeatedly cultivated the Heavenly Silkworm Technique several times, although it could still make his body reach a near-death state, once awakened, the genetic attribute value did not increase any further.

Yang Xiao views the Heavenly Silkworm Technique as a singular cultivation method that can only assist him in improving certain evolution abilities at the King Level Realm.

Yang Xiao lay on the bed, running the ninth layer of the Heavenly Silkworm Technique. An hour later, he slowly entered a sleep state, with his breath faint like that of a dead person.

At this moment, Elder Ye, drowsily lying on the sleeping chair at the door, frowned and directly sat up from the chair.

”What the heck, this kid really mastered this strange technique?”
