Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 1021 - 1015: At the Mercy of Fate

Yang Xiao never intentionally deceived anyone, nor did he ever toy with any women. In the apocalyptic era of Xuanming Country, with his status and abilities at that time, he could easily have toyed with hundreds or even thousands of girls if he wished.

But he didn’t. In the end, he only married Huang Wen, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, and Lan Xin, and he did so openly, giving them an honorable status. They were all willing to be his wives.

There was genuine love between him and them.

He was willing to give his life for any one of them.

Upon arriving at Purple Origin Star, for Ming Yue and Leia from Gamma Star, who were originally just slaves, the fact that he could marry them was akin to performing good deeds and pulling them out of the abyss of suffering.

Yang Xiao’s feelings for the two were not deep, but not unpleasant either. With time, Ming Yue felt deeply grateful to Yang Xiao and was willing to repay him with her life.

Then there was the granddaughter of the Wild Man King, Ah Rui, whom he had initially used for political interest to bind Yang Xiao to the wild men through marriage.

Yang Xiao didn’t have deep feelings for Ah Rui either, but he didn’t let her down.

The three women on Purple Origin Star were a situation forced upon Yang Xiao, merely a predestined arrangement. Ultimately, the three women bore him children, for which he was very grateful.

When he arrived at Witch Star, Caixia was a widow he had helped; she insisted on repaying him and secretly climbed into his bed, winning him over.

For Caixia, she had love, admiration, affection, and gratitude for Yang Xiao. At that time, Yang Xiao was being hunted by the Eldest Prince Long Aotian and was himself a fallen man of the Jianghu.

He reluctantly accepted Caixia, taking into account Bing’er and his grandfather’s tragic fate.

As fate would have it, the Eldest Prince pursued him to the slums, and both Caixia and Bing’er’s grandfather died.

Xiao Ling from Flying Leopard Academy was the first woman he truly fell in love with after leaving Earth.

Was he going too far by finding a woman to love on an Exotic Realm Planet hundreds of light-years away from Earth?

Not in the least.

He didn’t even know where Long Jing was, nor her identity. It was unreasonable to remain chaste for Long Jing for life just because of a past relationship on Earth.

Yang Xiao reviewed his experiences, feeling relieved as the guilt towards Xiao Ling and Long Jing considerably lessened.

If blame were to be placed, it would only be on destiny for playing a joke, leaving him in an awkward situation.

Now, Yang Xiao had to confront a real issue:

How should he choose between Long Jing and Xiao Ling?

As for Long Jing’s identity, he had vaguely learned from the dean that she was of the Great Dragon Empire’s Royal Family, but Yang Xiao was still unaware of her princess status.

Yang Xiao glanced at the note Long Jing left him:

To have one person’s heart, to grow old together never part.

If you have divided love, we shall never meet again.

Long Jing’s meaning was very clear. If he wanted to continue his relationship with Long Jing, Yang Xiao would have to break up with Xiao Ling and devote himself solely to her.

Long Jing’s insistence on loyalty and exclusivity in love, to be fair, Yang Xiao didn’t find unreasonable, and actually quite sensible.

But to leave Xiao Ling?

Xiao Ling was the first girl he actively fell for after leaving Earth, not to mention mere months ago Xiao Ling shielded Yang Xiao from three attacks by a Qin family Assassin, a debt Yang Xiao could never repay.

Xiao Ling was also unlikely to accept Yang Xiao loving and associating with both women simultaneously.

This was Yang Xiao’s greatest emotional dilemma.

In his mind, he recalled Long Jing’s incredibly beautiful visage and noble demeanor, he pondered for a long time and sighed deeply:

"Jingjing, I can only apologize, if there’s a chance in another life, I’ll surely repay you."

Since a choice had to be made, he would do so resolutely.

The thought of forsaking Long Jing brought an aching pain in his heart.

"Better a short pain than a long one, it has to be this way."

Yang Xiao made up his mind and ran to find Xiao Ling.

...

Xiao Ling sat at the dining table, staring at the food before her, devoid of appetite.

Thinking of Yang Xiao and Long Jing brought a wave of pain in her heart.

From the fragmented information she had gathered so far, Yang Xiao and Long Jing had known each other back on Earth, and their relationship was undoubtedly special, likely romantic.

Judging by Yang Xiao’s attitude towards Long Jing, one could easily see that Yang Xiao truly liked Long Jing, his feelings towards her rivaling those he had for Xiao Ling!

Especially after getting close to Long Jing today, Xiao Ling found Long Jing’s features, figure, and aura to be exceptionally rare among millions, a peerless beauty, for the first time she felt insecure about her own appearance.

Xiao Ling fiddled with the food on her plate using chopsticks, her mind a jumble. She contemplated, then took a piece of meat representing Yang Xiao, repeatedly poking it with chopsticks.

"Stab you to death, stab you to death, you stinky guy, dead guy, letting you change your heart and abandon past affection,"

She muttered curses, knowing they were misplaced; Yang Xiao’s wasn’t a case of changing his heart nor abandoning affections, no accurate words came to chastise Yang Xiao.

Xiao Ling sighed, tears rolled down.

Yang Xiao was her first love, her first man, and although it wasn’t an intentional wrongdoing by Yang Xiao, it nonetheless upset her.

She always cherished love as sacred, absolutely unable to accept Yang Xiao loving both women at the same time.

With the current scenario, she seemed like a third party, having stolen Yang Xiao from Long Jing.

Heartache, inexplicable grievance, even difficult to confide in anyone.

Xiao Ling lay on the couch, crying with grievance, sobbing softly.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz,"

The Defensive Light Curtain Gate sounded an alarm; someone was knocking outside.

Xiao Ling paused, wiped her tears, got up, walked to the door, and opened it.

Yang Xiao stood at the door with a smile, holding a bouquet of wildflowers he must have picked from somewhere.

Xiao Ling looked at Yang Xiao,

Yang Xiao looked at Xiao Ling,

Silently, they gazed at each other at the entrance.

The countless moments of living together over the past months surfaced in their minds, and the sincere love between them made them realize the need to cherish each other.

Xiao Ling, with tears flowing, threw herself into Yang Xiao’s embrace.
