Super Gene Hunting Ground

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Chen Cangshan and Gao Lou, now completely sobered up, stood in front of the two patrolling guards, having lost all their temper.

The two looked at each other awkwardly, then glanced at the guards standing not far away, unsure of what to do.

”Ahem,”

Yang Xiao cleared his throat and said to the two patrolling guards:

”They weren’t fighting; they were just excited to be accepted by Flying Leopard Academy and wanted to spar after having a bit of drink... right?”

The last part was asked to Gao Lou and Chen Cangshan.

The two instantly got it and immediately said together:

”Right, right, right... we were just sparring, no fighting involved. We are good friends now, and when we enter Flying Leopard Academy tomorrow, we’ll be classmates.”

”Exactly, we’re not uncultured people who would fight randomly. How could we do such a thing?”

The two said as they walked over to each other.

Gao Lou, taller than Chen Cangshan by half a head, pulled Chen Cangshan into a hug, smiling cheekily at the two guards.

The two patrolling guards paused; they didn’t want to escalate the situation, especially since Gao Lou and Chen Cangshan hadn’t started fighting.

”I’ll warn you, there’s no fighting allowed in Flying Leopard Town. If caught, we will definitely impose severe punishment without leniency.”

”Yes, we understand.”

”Don’t worry, we won’t be so reckless.”

Gao Lou and Chen Cangshan quickly turned from enemies into brothers, creating an oddly comedic scene.

Yang Xiao couldn’t help it, letting out a chuckle.

Bing’er laughed too:

”Uncle Fatty, you’re amazing!”

Gao Lou winked at Bing’er.

The two patrolling guards turned and left the tavern.

Gao Lou released Chen Cangshan from his embrace and snorted coldly,

”I really just want to choke you sometimes.”

”Oh, you pigheaded dolt, can’t help yourself huh?”

The guards hadn’t left the building yet and turned to glare at them.

Gao Lou quickly pulled Chen Cangshan into a hug again, giggling.

The guards shook their heads and left.

Gao Lou returned to Yang Xiao’s table, grabbed a cup of wine, and downed it.

”If it weren’t for those guards today, I would have smashed your pig head.”

Chen Cangshan stood, speaking fiercely.

Gao Lou slammed his cup, attempting to stand.

Yang Xiao laughed:

”Are you two done yet? It’s just over a woman, is it really worth it?”

The tavern owner came over and looked at the crushed tables and chairs, told Chen Cangshan:

”Gentlemen, you will have to pay for these damages, or else I’ll have to inform the guards you saw earlier.”

”How much?”

”Twenty crystal coins per set of tables and chairs.”

”I’ll give you two hundred, is that sufficient?”

”Haha, that’s more than enough, thank you, sir.”

Chen Cangshan settled the bills for the drinks and compensated for the furniture before leaving the tavern.

The twenty or so people who fled the tavern earlier were now standing in the street, surrounding Chen Cangshan as he emerged.

”Chen, are you alright?”

”Chen bro, everything okay?”

”It’s all that damned fatty’s fault, really want to gut him.”

”I knew Chen would be alright, the guards were just making a big fuss out of nothing.”

...

Everyone gathered around Chen Cangshan, flattering him endlessly.

Chen Cangshan forced a smile, recalling how none of these folks helped him earlier and felt a bit bitter.

Yang Xiao, however, sent Bing’er to bring the guards in at the crucial moment, not only stopping their impulsiveness but also cleverly rescuing them.

Chen Cangshan glanced at everyone, saying:

”Sorry, I’m feeling a bit tired and want to rest at the inn. You all can make your own arrangements for the evening, don’t wait up for me.”

With that, he left with the two guards to the inn across the street.

That night, despite the incessant flattering, Chen Cangshan still organized a get-together with everyone.

This time, though, Yelu Caiyun claimed she was unwell and didn’t join their gathering.

The next morning, everyone woke up early, had breakfast, packed their luggage, checked out, and headed to the square.

Gao Lou and Yang Xiao ate breakfast together, seemingly a bit downcast.

”Brother Yang, we share a bond, I really like you. It’s a pity we must part ways.”

Yang Xiao shivered inexplicably, feeling goosebumps, chuckled:

”Fatty, sorry, I’m not into men. Please do not fancy me, go like your Caiyun girl instead.”

Gao Lou snorted with laughter,

”Alright, Brother Yang, enough kidding around, let’s part ways here. We shall meet again if fate allows.”

Yang Xiao paused,

Gao Lou bowed slightly to Yang Xiao,

”Farewell, take care.”

Then he turned and ran off towards the square.

Yang Xiao wanted to call out to Gao Lou, but he was already gone, likely eager for his first day at Flying Leopard Academy.

Yang Xiao shook his head, said to Bing’er:

”Let’s go pack our things; we need to leave too.”

The two packed their bags, checked out, and left the inn, heading for the square.

Passing by a clothing shop, Yang Xiao took Bing’er inside, bought a few pretty outfits for Bing’er, and conveniently got a few new clothes for himself.

In the town, there was a small Genetic Store that Yang Xiao walked into.

”Boss, do you have any Space Rings?”

”Yes, sir, how many slots do you need? We have options with 30 slots, 40, 50, and 60.”

”How much for a 60-slot ring?”

”The 30-slot rings are one million crystal coins, with each additional slot costing more. A 60-slot Space Ring is three million and ten thousand. I’ll waive the extra; just pay three million.”

”Alright, give me one.”

Yang Xiao swiped his card for the transaction, then handed the Space Ring to Bing’er.

Bing’er blankly stared at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao smiled,

”Why the confusion? This is for you. Wear it; in the future, you can easily store your clothes and daily necessities, and even snacks.”

Bing’er could hardly believe her ears. Three million crystal coins! Yang Xiao spent that much on a Space Ring for her.

”Uncle, is it really for me?”

”Who else would it be for? I already have one myself.”

Yang Xiao showed her the Space Ring on his own finger.

Bing’er received the ring, eyes moist with excitement.

A child from a poor family grows up quickly; seven-year-old Bing’er had followed her grandfather, working hard into the night selling goods, earning just one or two hundred crystal coins a night.

She never imagined she would wear such an expensive ring one day.

”If only Grandpa and Caixia sister were here.”

Bing’er choked out.

Yang Xiao felt a pang in his heart, gently hugged Bing’er, softly said:

”Bing’er, Grandpa and sister are gone. Living well is the best memory of them. I believe they would want us to be happy, right?”

”Yes!”

Bing’er nodded, wiping away her tears.

Yang Xiao helped Bing’er put on the ring and taught her how to control it with her mind.

Bing’er hadn’t activated Genetic Evolution, and her mind was weak. Yang Xiao patiently taught Bing’er several times until she successfully grasped how to use the Space Ring.

Once Bing’er mastered the Space Ring, she became ecstatic.

Yang Xiao bought her some clothes, daily necessities, and small snacks, all stored within the ring.

...

At the square, Chen Cangshan and the others had already arrived, with a total of thirty-six people including their servants, most of whom were young masters and ladies bringing a servant along with them.

Chen Cangshan had two followers with him.

Yang Xiao and Bing’er arrived late.

Gao Lou first looked surprised, then became slightly excited when Yang Xiao appeared, stepped forward, hugged Yang Xiao tightly, saying:

”Brother Yang, didn’t we already say goodbye? Why did you come again to see me off? You’re so good to me, it’s truly touching.”

Yang Xiao: ”...”

MMP, who said I’m here to see you off? You’re too full of yourself, no wonder this damned fatty is so affectionate towards Yelu Caiyun.
