Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yelu Caiyun smiled gracefully, leaving everyone enchanted.

”Thank you, Mr. Chen. Qing’er, give Mr. Chen 100,000 Crystal Coins.”

Beside her, Yelu Qing quickly responded and took out a Black Crystal Card,

”Mr. Chen, here’s your money.”

Mr. Chen waved his hand grandly and said with a smile:

”I’m giving you the room, not for your money. May I ask the lady’s name?”

”I am Yelu Caiyun, and this is my maid Yelu Qing.”

”Greetings, Miss Caiyun!”

Chen Cangshan gracefully bowed to Yelu Caiyun,

”Miss Caiyun, you are also going to the Flying Leopard Academy for the assessment, right?”

”Indeed.”

”I would like to invite Miss Caiyun for dinner tonight, if that’s convenient for you?”

Caiyun smiled slightly but didn’t answer.

”It’s not convenient.”

Gao Lou, who had been watching with displeasure, couldn’t hold back. This Chen Cangshan was flirting in front of everyone, did he ask for my approval?

Gao Lou stepped forward, his giant body standing in front of Chen Cangshan.

Chen Cangshan was taken aback and looked at Caiyun,

”And this is?”

”This is a companion from my hometown, who came with me.”

”I’m her friend.”

Caiyun and Gao Lou replied almost simultaneously, but Caixia only considered him a hometown companion, whereas Gao Lou claimed to be Caixia’s friend.

Caixia’s reply surprised Gao Lou,

”Caixia, we?”

Gao Lou really wanted to say, weren’t we childhood friends?

Gao Lou had always liked Yelu Caixia, but Yelu Caixia was indifferent to Gao Lou.

Both came from the same small city, where the families of Gao Lou and Yelu Caiyun were rather prominent, part of the local upper society.

Although Gao Lou was a bit chubby and unattractive, he had a certain family background, making him an object for many girls to seek after locally.

But now in Flying Leopard Town, those applying for cultivation at the academy were rich scions, many of whom excelled in Genetic Evolution, putting Gao Lou at a disadvantage compared to the others.

Yelu Caiyun glanced at Gao Lou and said indifferently:

”Gao Lou, thank you for taking care of me on the way. Having you as a fellow townsman really saved me a lot of trouble. However, now there’s only one room. Why don’t you stay, and Qing’er and I will just sit in the inn’s lobby for the night?”

Upon hearing this, Gao Lou quickly said:

”No way, that’s the room Mr. Chen gave you. How could I occupy your room? Besides, you’re a lady; how could you sleep in the lobby?”

”Cough!”

Chen Cangshan coughed lightly, ”Miss Caiyun, why don’t I show you the room first and move my things next door, so you and Miss Qing’er can rest?”

”Alright, thank you, Mr. Chen.”

Chen Cangshan, with a victorious smile, led Yelu Caiyun and Yelu Qing into the inn.

The crowd that had been watching instantly dispersed, with some of the lustful ones regretfully watching Yelu Caiyu’s beautiful figure disappear.

The chubby Gao Lou stood dumbly on the street.

Bing’er, standing at the window, said to Yang Xiao:

”Uncle, I think that chubby uncle looks so pitiful.”

”Haha, he brought it on himself; who told him to like someone he shouldn’t?”

”I think the chubby uncle is genuine and adorable; it’s the lady who is too mean.”

Bing’er felt unjust for him, having accepted the chubby Gao Lou’s candy.

Yang Xiao chuckled softly and closed the window.

This period in the Great Dragon Empire was full of anxiety and fear, with no rest. Now, having arrived thousands of kilometers away in the Snow Leopard Empire, away from Long Aotian’s influence, Yang Xiao and Bing’er were temporarily safe and could relax and rest properly.

Yang Xiao took a hot shower, advised Bing’er to wash up, and after changing into clean clothes, lay on the bed for a short nap.

Bing’er now regarded Yang Xiao like a father, holding his arm before sleep, fearful he might sneak away.

Yang Xiao looked at Bing’er with affection and closed his eyes to sleep.

Mysteriously, since Bing’er started following him, Yang Xiao always felt emotionally attached, with a surge of fatherly love, filled with energy, feeling responsible for Binger’s healthy growth.

In the evening, Yang Xiao took Bing’er downstairs.

The inn did not provide meals, so Yang Xiao had to go to other specialized hotels in town for food.

Upon exiting, there was a magnificent-looking restaurant directly opposite the inn, named Flying Leopard Restaurant.

It was dinner peak time, and most people were coming out from the inn for meals as Yang Xia stepped into the restaurant, with almost all of the dozen tables in the hall occupied.

Yang Xiao glanced around and sat at a small table added temporarily in the corner by the entrance.

Yang Xiao randomly ordered a few dishes.

After a while, a waiter brought the dishes and rice, and Yang Xiao and Bing’er started eating.

While eating, he heard voices at the entrance.

”Sorry, no seats available; please check other hotels.”

”Oh! I’m so unlucky today; couldn’t find a room and now can’t even find a place to eat.”

Yang Xiao was facing away from the entrance while Bing’er sat opposite him.

Suddenly, Bing’er waved her hand and shouted:

”Chubby uncle, come here, there’s a seat here.”

Yang Xiao turned his head to see the chubby man walking over, looking dejected.

The chubby man gave Yang Xiao an awkward smile,

”Brother, mind if I join you? I’ll treat.”

”I don’t mind, make yourself comfortable.”

The chubby man then sat down, reaching out to touch Bing’er’s head,

”Why did you bring a child to Flying Leopard Academy?”

”It’s good for children to see the world; it’s a kind of journey.”

”I’m Gao Lou, may I ask your name, brother?”

”My uncle’s name is Yang Xiao; I’m Bing’er.”

Bing’er answered promptly.

Gao Lou glanced at Bing’er, ”Your uncle is really good to you.”

”Of course, my uncle is the best person in the world.” Bing’er said proudly.

Gao Lou waved to the waiter in the distance.

The waiter was a young girl.

”What can I get for you?”

”What signature dishes do you have at the restaurant?”

”Our restaurant has three major signature dishes: Dry Pot Snow Leopard Meat, Clear Stewed Flying Shark, and Braised Flying Goose.”

”Great, we’ll have one of each, and also a pot of wine.”

”Sure, young sir, these three signature dishes are made from Demon Beast meat above the Empire Level Realm, so they’re a bit pricey.”

”A bit pricey? How much?”

”Each dish costs ten thousand crystal coins.”

”What? So expensive?”

Gao Lou seemed a bit taken aback, his expression slightly embarrassed.

Yang Xiao said:

”You can order just one dish for yourself, we’ve ordered enough for us.”

Bing’er said straightforwardly, with childlike innocence,

”Fat Uncle, you need to lose weight, eat less meat.”

”Pfft!”

Yang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.

Gao Lou also laughed heartily, then said to the waiter:

”Just bring two dishes, Dry Pot Snow Leopard Meat and Braised Flying Goose, skip the Clear Stewed Flying Shark. Where would you get flying sharks around here? They must not be fresh.”

The waitress quickly replied:

”Five hundred kilometers away, there’s a lake hundreds of square kilometers in size, connected to the sea outside. Our flying sharks come from the demon beasts in that lake, and the meat is fresh and rich in Evolution Energy.”

Gao Lou was too lazy to listen to the waitress’s sales pitch and waved her off to prepare the dishes and wine.

Bing’er unintentionally said another sentence that hit Gao Lou’s sore spot.

”Fat Uncle, where are the two beautiful sisters who came with you?”

Gao Lou’s face immediately darkened.

Yelu Caiyun and Yelu Qing had already gone to eat with Chen Cangshan and several other young gentlemen, and the location was in this restaurant too, but they were dining in a private booth on the second floor, not in the main hall.

Gao Lou did not respond to Bing’er’s question. The timing happened to be right as the waiter brought a pot of wine. The fat man poured a cup for Yang Xiao and one for himself.

”Brother Yang, have a drink.”

Yang Xiao took a sip, while the fat man drank it all in one gulp, then poured himself a second cup.

After drinking a few cups, Gao Lou began to talk more, angrily cursing Chen Cangshan as a scoundrel for seducing good women.

Yang Xiao didn’t interrupt, instead just listened to him vent. Bing’er occasionally chipped in a word or two, taking the fat man’s side, which made the fat man quite fond of Bing’er and handed her three lollipops.

Yang Xiao smiled wryly and shook his head.

Bing’er was innocent and pure, and this fat man was a simple-minded and straightforward person.

The fat man then began chatting with Bing’er, and the two of them got along well, laughing from time to time.

The fat man drank two pots of wine, while Yang Xiao only drank one cup.

When it was time to settle the bill, Gao Lou insisted on treating, and Yang Xiao didn’t refuse. After all, he and Bing’er had only eaten about two thousand crystal coins worth, so it wasn’t a matter of favors.

Yang Xiao and Bing’er left first to return to the inn to rest.

Yang Xiao cultivated the Yijin Scripture from the Genetic Transformation Technique for a while and then practiced the Heavenly Silkworm Technique.

Bing’er was bored by herself, sitting at the table staring blankly at Yang Xiao.

After finishing his cultivation, Yang Xiao took out a Go set from the Space Ring and placed it on the table.

”Uncle, what’s this?”

”Go.”

”What’s Go for?”

”It’s for playing. From today on, Uncle will teach you to play Go.”

”Yay,” Bing’er said excitedly, mainly because she could play games with Yang Xiao.

”Today, Uncle will first teach you to play Five-in-a-Row.”

Yang Xiao set up the pieces and briefly explained the rules of Five-in-a-Row to Bing’er.

”Do you understand?”

”I understand.”

”Really understand?”

Yang Xiao was a bit skeptical. He had only taught Bing’er once, and she claimed she understood.

”I’ll know if I play a game with Uncle, won’t I?”

”Okay.”

Yang Xiao let Bing’er go first. Bing’er picked up a black piece and put it down, Yang Xiao followed with a white piece, Bing’er followed again with a black piece.

After ten moves, Yang Xiao was surprised to find Bing’er was playing quite well, not at all like someone encountering Go for the first time.

By the thirtieth move, Yang Xiao had defeated Bing’er.

”Let’s have another game. Bing’er, have you studied Five-in-a-Row before?”

”No, today is my first time.”

In the second game, Yang Xiao deliberately let Bing’er win a round.

Even though he let her win, Bing’er’s Five-in-a-Row play was exceptional, greatly surprising Yang Xiao.

While teaching her to play, he also explained some Five-in-a-Row strategies and techniques. Bing’er often remembered them after hearing just once, and by the second time, she was quite familiar.

”Could Bing’er have a talent for this?”

They played Five-in-a-Row for an hour, then seeing it was late, they went to bed to rest.

”Tomorrow, Uncle will teach you to play Go.”

”Great, thanks, Uncle.”

Before sleeping, Bing’er intentionally gave Yang Xiao a peck, then held one of his hands and fell asleep.

The next morning, a furious roar woke Yang Xiao.

”Chen, I’m going to kill you!”
