Super Gene Hunting Ground

”She’s my wife from Witch Star!”

Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then still chose to say it firmly.

Some things just can’t be explained clearly; better to simply lay the result out there and save everyone the guessing and trouble.

Xiao Ling stared blankly at Yang Xiao on the spot.

The two of them had been going around as a couple back at Flying Leopard Academy; everyone in the academy knew it.

But they had never actually held a wedding, and the ”husband and wife” address was something they only used in private.

In other people’s eyes, with Yang Xiao’s Evolution achievements and status, marrying Xiao Ling was more than justified, and it was only a matter of time before they officially tied the knot.

Xiao Ling had already been on Purple Origin Star for two months; naturally she’d inquired into Yang Xiao’s situation here, and had long heard about his three wives.

She just hadn’t expected that at their first meeting, Yang Xiao would directly acknowledge her identity as ”wife” in front of his wives. That really caught her off guard and left her a bit stunned.

Ah Rui, Ming Yue, and Leia were also taken aback.

The three of them had actually been mentally prepared for this. On Purple Origin Star, it was normal for a man to have several wives—especially a leader like Yang Xiao; there was no way it would only ever be the three of them.

The three also understood that, more than anything, they had given their bodies to Yang Xiao; as for Yang Xiao’s inner world, they could only enter part of it, never completely.

Ah Rui froze for a second, then reached out her hand to Xiao Ling.

”Sister, welcome aboard!”

Ming Yue and Leia also nodded to Xiao Ling in greeting.

This left Xiao Ling at a loss for how to respond. She’d originally planned to question Yang Xiao a bit, see how this guy would lie and coax her, and now she suddenly didn’t know what to do.

She even had a weird illusion—as if she were the homewrecker. No, not the third, but the fourth, inserting herself into the marriage between Yang Xiao and Ah Rui’s group, and it seemed like the real victims were Ah Rui and the three original wives.

Yang Xiao held Xiao Ling’s hand, grinning, and said,

”From now on we’re all one big family—”

Before he finished, Xiao Ling stomped hard on his foot.

Xiao Ling turned and ran into the crowd, disappearing from sight.

Ah Rui watched Xiao Ling run off, glanced at Yang Xiao, and asked,

”Hubby, is the fourth one mad? She ran off?”

Yang Xiao smiled awkwardly.

”I’ll go find her later.”

Ah Rui chuckled.

”Don’t worry, hubby, I’ll go find her and help talk her around. I’ll definitely make her come back to you. Being able to marry my hubby is her good fortune. There are still tons of young girls in the Guangfu Clan who want to marry you, hubby. I turned them all down.”

Yang Xiao blinked.

”Really? How come I never heard you mention that?”

Ah Rui giggled, then walked off with Ming Yue and the other two.

For Ah Rui, she truly didn’t care anymore whether there was one more woman at Yang Xiao’s side.

Seeing her grandfather, the Savage King, going to the brothel for women every day, and many men in Guangfu City going there as well, she felt that her own husband was already the best—at least Yang Xiao never went to the brothel for women.

...

Early the next morning, Yang Xiao went to Guangfu City Academy to find Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling kept a cold face and ignored him.

Yang Xiao didn’t rush to explain; he just followed her wherever she went.

When Xiao Ling was teaching class, he sat off to the side, quietly watching her, his gaze fixed on her with deep affection.

”Go away. I don’t want to see you again.”

”But I want to see you. I want to see you every day.”

”Don’t you already have three wives? Still not satisfied? And that Long Jing from the Great Dragon Empire—isn’t she also your wife? You’re still not satisfied, so why come here and harass me?”

As Xiao Ling spoke, she felt wronged, and tears suddenly spilled down her cheeks.

Yang Xiao stood beside her, sighed, and said,

”When I met Ming Yue, she was a slave from Gamma Star. She was about to be sent to an upper officer as a plaything, and once they got tired of her, she’d be sold to a brothel.

Back then I was also a Miner Slave. My boss had something he needed me for, so he sent Ming Yue to me, trying to use a woman to chain me down.

Ming Yue and I were both slaves. We only knew we were alive today; we didn’t know what tomorrow would bring. We were like two people in the dead of winter, clinging to each other for warmth, so Ming Yue followed me.

When I met Leia, it was at the slave market. I wanted to buy two Demon Beasts, but the owner tried to cheat me. Leia quietly told me the truth, and the owner beat her half to death.

That owner was an old man. He threatened to sell her to a brothel. Leia knelt and begged me to buy her.

You know what I’m like—I’m soft-hearted. I had no choice but to buy her.

Originally, I wanted to give her freedom, let her control her own fate. But Leia said that if I didn’t want her, her only path would be suicide, because this world had no way for her to live.

As for Ah Rui, that’s a long story. At the time I needed the Savage King’s help to cooperate on mining. He only had one condition: I had to marry his granddaughter. If I didn’t agree, I couldn’t open the mine.

What you see now—Guangfu City, the nearby Earth Village—everything stems from that political marriage.

Back then I was just a slave. I couldn’t even control my own life, so how could I dare talk about love?

Not until I met you.

You’re the first woman I truly liked after gaining my freedom.

But can I just cast these women aside?

They’ve all borne my children.”

Listening to Yang Xiao, Xiao Ling suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for him. She glanced at him and said resentfully,

”But you want me to live together with your three wives? I can’t do that.”

”What do you mean?”

”Ah Rui and the others came to see me last night. They wanted me to move in and live with them, and they even said—”

Xiao Ling looked like she was too embarrassed to go on.

What else did they say?

”I can’t say it.”

”Just say it, it’s fine. I’m listening.”

”They—they actually said the five of us could all sleep on one big bed together.”

When she said this, Xiao Ling’s face suddenly flushed bright red.

Yang Xiao froze, gave a light cough,

”That Ah Rui, she never went to school and isn’t very educated. Don’t hold it against her. But she’s really a good person. She gets along well with Leia and Ming Yue and has never bullied them because they used to be slaves.”

Xiao Ling shot Yang Xiao a sideways glance and suddenly asked,

”You went back to sleep with your three wives last night, didn’t you?”

”Uh, if I don’t go home, where would I sleep? You wouldn’t even talk to me here.”

”You sleep in one bed with your three wives?”

”Yeah. Ah Rui deliberately laid out a huge bed. It’s really wide. Forget four people—add two more and it’d still fit.”

”Shameless!”

Xiao Ling spat at him and rolled her eyes.

...

Half a year later, a Spaceship descended on Purple Origin Starlight Restoration City.

Liang Bao walked down from the Spaceship and anxiously sought out Yang Xiao.

”Brother Yang, bad news. The Dwarf Star people have launched a full-scale invasion of Witch Star. At least two hundred thousand troops, and dozens of Emperor Level Transcendent Realm powerhouses.”
