Super Gene Hunting Ground

Xiao Ling was taken aback, but finally reacted. She let out a shout and shot a mass of Extreme Cold Ice Fog at Elder Ye.

Elder Ye smiled faintly, reached out his hand and casually grabbed in the air, and the mass of Extreme Cold Ice Fog launched by Xiao Ling was caught in his palm.

Elder Ye opened his palm, and an egg-sized Ice Ball appeared in his hand, which he then threw to the ground.

”You silly girl, why are you panicking? If you don’t want him to die, don’t make things worse.”

Xiao Ling looked at Elder Ye, anxious and uneasy, full of suspicion, and stood there in a daze.

At that moment, Yang Xiao lay on the ground, his face pale, his chest stained red with blood, his life or death uncertain.

”You stay here and watch over him, don’t let anyone disturb him. It’s late at night now, and probably no one will come to the library.”

Having said that, Elder Ye turned and left.

Xiao Ling quickly shouted:

”What... what about him? What... what about me?”

”You don’t need to do anything. Before dawn, he will automatically heal and wake up. What you need to do is watch over him and not let anyone disturb him. Hmm, I’ll go close the main door on the first floor of the library so it’ll be easier for you.”

With that, Elder Ye floated away and disappeared into the darkness.

Xiao Ling’s legs trembled as she slowly walked over to Yang Xiao, crouched down, and looked at him.

She reached out her finger and tested under Yang Xiao’s nose; sensing a very faint breath, she felt slightly relieved.

But why did this old man suddenly attack Yang Xiao and then leave me to guard him? What is this all about?

Xiao Ling sat on the ground, leaning close to Yang Xiao.

The light shone on Yang Xiao’s face, and the face that was just described as pale seemed to have a tinge of color returning.

The blood on his chest had stopped seeping.

Yang Xiao’s breathing became slightly stronger.

Tens of questions sprang into Xiao Ling’s mind, but none found answers. The only thing certain was that Elder Ye didn’t intend to harm Yang Xiao, otherwise, with his cultivation, killing Yang Xiao would have been as easy as turning over a hand.

Once Xiao Ling understood this, her heart gradually calmed down.

All she could do now was wait for a miracle to happen!

At this moment, she saw Yang Xiao’s previously pale face slowly regain its rosiness, and his breathing returned to normal, yet he still lay unconscious.

Elder Ye instructed me to do nothing but stand by and guard him, preventing outsiders from disturbing Yang Xiao. She originally thought of feeding Yang Xiao a Medium Blood Pill, but she had to give up.

Xiao Ling pulled over a chair and sat a few meters away from Yang Xiao, quietly watching him.

Suddenly, a strange thought occurred to her.

”What would I do if Yang Xiao had been killed by Elder Ye just now?”

Xiao Ling now recalled the moment Elder Ye attacked Yang Xiao. She clearly felt her heart skip a beat, and it seemed as if her world was collapsing, filled with heart-wrenching pain.

At that time, she unhesitatingly attacked Elder Ye.

Now, calm down, recalling the situation, a huge question mark appeared in her mind.

”Why am I so tense about Yang Xiao? Could it be, I really like him? Love him?”

Faced with this sudden emotion, Xiao Ling felt a panic, her face flushed and ears red.

She sat on the chair, quietly watching this youth, who was mocked as trash half a year ago and had now become someone very important to her.

In Xiao Ling’s life, other than her family, it seemed no one else had made her worry and care so deeply, willing to give everything for Yang Xiao.

Xiao Ling sighed lightly, reaching out to touch her cheek, chuckled silently.

Throughout the night, Xiao Ling watched over Yang Xiao.

Even though Elder Ye had closed the library’s first-floor doors, preventing anyone from disturbing Yang Xiao, she was still afraid of missing any possible incident, staying vigilant to guard him.

Meanwhile, inside the unconscious Yang Xiao, a transformation was happening.

Elder Ye’s killing aura pierced Yang Xiao’s heart, causing it to stop instantly.

At the moment Yang Xiao fell, a warm current inside his body began spreading, gradually repairing his damaged heart until it fully recovered.

Yang Xiao’s body was like a computer rebooting, starting with formatting, followed by system updates.

His genes were being reordered inside his body, and underneath the calm exterior, his skin, muscles, bones, marrow, internal organs, and all bodily tissues were changing.

The process was slow and continued until around 7 in the morning when Yang Xiao’s body completed the transformation.

Xiao Ling was very tired, yet she insisted, keeping an eye on Yang Xiao, afraid of any unforeseen complications.

Yang Xiao’s eyelids twitched.

Xiao Ling was startled.

Subsequently, Yang Xiao’s finger twitched as well.

Xiao Ling felt her heartbeat accelerate,

quickly stood up from the chair and rushed to Yang Xiao’s side, squatting down to watch him.

Yang Xiao’s eyelids fluttered a few times,

and then his eyes slowly opened.

The first thing Yang Xiao saw was Xiao Ling’s beautiful eyes.

Yet, suddenly opening his eyes to see another pair glaring closely at him would shock anyone.

Yang Xiao screamed on the spot:

”Ah, a ghost!”

Xiao Ling: ”@#￥%”

”No, you’re the ghost!”

After staying up all night worrying about Yang Xiao, Xiao Ling was exasperated when Yang Xiao’s first words upon waking were ”There’s a ghost!”

Yang Xiao looked dazed at Xiao Ling,

”Why are you staring at me? And why am I lying on the ground? This is…”

Yang Xiao tried to recall last night’s events, replaying the encounter with Elder Ye in his mind, being suddenly attacked, and then losing consciousness.

”What happened last night?”

Yang Xiao asked, still lying on the ground.

Seeing Yang Xiao recovered, Xiao Ling was joyous and replied:

”Yang Xiao, don’t lie there. Try standing up, see if you feel uncomfortable anywhere.”

”Alright.”

Yang Xiao got up from the ground, stretched his limbs, everything felt normal.

”Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

”Yes,”

”Huh?”

”I just feel very hungry, extremely hungry.”

Xiao Ling: ”...”

Xiao Ling briefly recounted the previous night’s events to Yang Xiao, and both found it odd.

Yang Xiao unbuttoned his shirt, stained with blood, but his chest skin was smooth without a scar.

”Let’s find Elder Ye and see what he means by this?”

Xiao Ling suggested.

Since Yang Xiao was alive and unhurt, clearly, Elder Ye didn’t mean harm, but there must be a reason for the surprise attack.

The two tidied up their books and chairs and left together.

The entrance light gate of the first-floor library now allowed exit with a card swipe.
