Super Gene Hunting Ground

”Do you love me?”

Long Jing gently asked, looking at Yang Xiao tenderly.

Even though Yang Xiao had a new girlfriend, Xiao Ling, at the Flying Leopard Academy, three wives on Purple Origin Star, and children, Long Jing still loved Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao was going to be killed by Long Kui tomorrow. The only thing Long Jing could do now was to hold on to her last moment of love. She wasn’t a girl who liked clinginess, but she wanted to hear Yang Xiao say it, so her tenderness and perseverance for him wouldn’t be in vain.

Yang Xiao looked into Long Jing’s deep eyes and nodded,

”Love, I have always loved you, never forgotten you, but I’ve never dared to hope I would see you again one day. To me, you were just a dream!”

”You are the same, you are also my dream!”

Long Jing said softly, snuggling into Yang Xiao’s arms.

”Yang Xiao, can you leave Purple Origin Star?”

Yang Xiao was startled,

”Leave Purple Origin Star? Where would I go?”

”Go back to Earth, isn’t that your home?”

”Back to Earth? Can I go back? Moreover, even if I return, what then? The fate of the entire Earth is in the hands of the Witch Star people. On Purple Origin Star, I might still achieve something. Once back on Earth, I will lose the resources for evolution and become just an ordinary evolver. If so, I will never be able to control my destiny and future.”

Long Jing looked at Yang Xiao, silent.

Yang Xiao was right. If he returned to Earth, he would lose evolutionary resources, unable to grow, and Earth would forever be under the control of Witch Star people, unable to turn over.

However, as long as Yang Xiao stayed on Purple Origin Star, her father would never let him go, and she had no way to save him.

These days, Long Jing had been thinking about how to save Yang Xiao. After much thought, there was only one way, and that was for Yang Xiao to leave Purple Origin Star.

If Yang Xiao was willing to leave, she could persuade Long Kui not to kill him.

”Sigh!”

Long Jing sighed.

”What’s wrong, Jing’er?”

Yang Xiao asked.

Long Jing forced a smile, saying:

”Nothing, just feeling that time flies by too quickly, and we will soon be apart. I’m a bit reluctant.”

Yang Xiao looked at Long Jing, holding her hand, softly said:

”Jing’er, I promise you, I will try my best to see you much sooner, and I’ll keep you with me forever, never to part again.”

”Mm!”

Long Jing nodded, her eyes slightly moist.

...

It’s the monthly Crystal Stone trading day again, and representatives from over ten empires arrived early at the trading hall.

The Great Dragon Empire’s representative Jino, Youming Empire’s representative Hai Mu, Flying Leopard Empire’s representative Aguda, and representatives from the other dozen empires gathered with their guards in the trading hall.

This was the first Crystal Stone trade since the new distribution plan was implemented. Besides changes in the distribution quota, there was the auction segment afterward, in which no empire could buy more than ten percent of the crystal stones from the auction items.

Sitting next to Jino was a tall and formidable elder. Despite his restrained killing aura, he still exuded an invisible pressure.

Aguda from the Flying Leopard Empire glanced at the elder, feeling a wave of tension inside.

Presiding over the Crystal Stone trade were Wind Eagle Elder and Qing Mu.

According to usual custom, it was still half an hour before the Crystal Stone distribution time, and everyone sat in the hall chatting leisurely.

Because the new distribution plan increased most empires’ shares, everyone was quite happy.

Jino seemed somewhat tense, constantly staring at an empty seat on the platform.

”Why hasn’t Yang Xiao arrived yet?”

”Don’t worry, he’ll come.”

The elder beside Jino said calmly.

”Principal, would Princess Long Jing have told Yang Xiao to hide away?”

”Haha, how could that be? As an Imperial Princess, Long Jing has her limits. Relax, be patient and wait, don’t rush.”

Long Kui was composed and very certain inside, full of confidence.

Moments later, the guard at the hall entrance shouted loudly:

”The Great Chief has arrived!”

Everyone turned their heads, only to see Yang Xiao striding in.

Apart from the Great Dragon Empire, all other empires benefitted from the new distribution plan. As soon as people saw Yang Xiao, they immediately applauded and cheered.

”Greetings, Yang Leader!”

”Yang Leader has arrived!”

.....

Yang Xiao smiled, waved to everyone, and his gaze scanned the crowd, spotting the tall, formidable elder beside Jino, and paused momentarily.

However, Yang Xiao’s expression soon returned to normal, and he swiftly walked through the crowd, heading to the platform.

Yang Xiao stood on the platform, glanced at everyone, and said:

”Everyone, today is the monthly Crystal Stone distribution day. From this month, we will implement a new distribution plan. I know that besides the Great Dragon Empire, all empires have become happy, while only the Great Dragon Empire is not, right, Mr. Jino?”

Jino was taken aback, not expecting Yang Xiao to openly talk about this topic in front of everyone.

Jino looked at Yang Xiao, gave a bitter smile, and said:

”Yang Leader, how can I respond to you?”

Yang Xiao chuckled,

”No worries, Mr. Jino. In private, we are good friends, in public, you represent the Great Dragon Empire. I respect your identity and understand your difficulties.”

”Thank you, Yang Leader, for your understanding.”

Yang Xiao glanced at the elder beside Jino and said:

”I didn’t expect the Principal of Heavenly Dragon Academy from the Great Dragon Empire would come to our Purple Origin Star. Truly a rare guest!”

Mentioning Heavenly Dragon Academy on Witch Star is absolutely renowned, and those present from Witch Star know it.

However, not everyone recognizes the Principal of Heavenly Dragon Academy. Among the representatives of various empires present, none know Long Kui. Even Aguda only knew from previous warnings that Long Kui accompanied Jino to Purple Origin Star, preparing to assassinate Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao had seen Long Kui at the Flying Leopard Academy and naturally recognized him.

When Yang Xiao revealed Long Kui’s identity, the empire representatives in the hall immediately looked in amazement at the tall, imposing elder beside Jino.

”Oh, this is actually the Principal of Heavenly Dragon Academy.”

”Wow, finally seeing the real person.”

”The principals of the four academies on Witch Star are practically gods.”

”Principal Long Kui is of Emperor Level Realm, renowned even on Witch Star.”

...

Some even walked up to Long Kui, bowed and greeted.

”Principal Long, hello. My son has admired Heavenly Dragon Academy for a long time. Can he be sent to your academy for cultivation? Tuition is not a problem.”

”Principal Long, thrilled to meet you, incredibly happy!”

”Principal Long, after the trade meeting ends, may I treat you to a meal?”

...

Long Kui, whose identity was revealed by Yang Xiao, faced the looks of admiration and flattering words from the crowd with only a faint smile, saying:

”Yang Xiao, I didn’t expect you to remember me. Good, we meet again!”
