Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 1038 - 1032: Fated but Not Destined

Yang Xiao really just sat on the bedside for the whole night.

Later, he couldn't hold on any longer and lay down on the bed with his clothes on and fell asleep.

Yelu Caiyun sighed, pulled Yang Xiao into the quilt, covered him well, then looked at Yang Xiao sleeping soundly, and finally hugged Yang Xiao and slowly fell asleep herself.

When Yang Xiao woke up the next morning, it was already bright.

He opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed, covered with a quilt. Startled, he reached out to touch his side and found it empty. Seeing he was lying in the quilt with his clothes on, his heart finally calmed down a bit.

Yang Xiao suddenly thought of Caixia from the slums of Dragon City in the Great Dragon Empire. Back then, Caixia sneaked into his bed several times at midnight and finally won him over.

After all, Yelu Caiyun is different from Caixia. Her self-esteem and pride are far above Caixia. Even if she likes Yang Xiao very much, she wouldn't force him into such a situation.

"Awake?"

A laugh sounded in his ears, Yang Xiao turned his head and smelled a fragrant scent. Caiyun was already sitting by the bed, looking at him and laughing.

"Why are you laughing?"

Caiyun suddenly bent down, her lips touching Yang Xiao's ear, whispering:

"You slept with me yesterday, you have to take responsibility for me!"

Saying that, she kissed Yang Xiao's face playfully and looked at him with a giggle.

Yang Xiao felt a bit awkward: "...."

Yelu Caiyun didn't continue to tease him and said:

"Get up and eat, according to our customs here, there will be many of my Yelu family's relatives to meet later."

"Huh?"

Yang Xiao jumped off the bed and muttered:

"Can I not meet them?"

Caiyun stood in front of Yang Xiao, looking at him gently,

"Just for me, complete the good deed by seeing them, it's just a meeting and having some tea. Besides, you'll receive gifts."

Yang Xiao couldn't refuse, after all, he and Caiyun had held a wedding and shared a bed. In everyone's mind, the two were already practically married, what's one last step?

Caiyun had prepared water for Yang Xiao to wash, and stood by with a towel, looking like a little wife serving her husband.

After washing, Yang Xiao laughed:

"You're really like a good wife."

"Of course, don't you want to try?"

Caiyun looked at Yang Xiao, laughing playfully.

Yang Xiao could only smile awkwardly. If he teased her a few more times, Yelu Caiyun might really eat him.

Caiyun led Yang Xiao to the dressing table, picked up the jade hairpin that Yang Xiao had helped remove yesterday,

"Help me put it on."

Yang Xiao took the jade hairpin, faced Caiyun, and looked at her exquisite makeup, feeling a fluttering sensation in his heart.

Gently, he inserted the jade hairpin into her hair.

Caiyun turned and looked in the mirror, giving a charming smile, then took out an eyebrow pencil and handed it to Yang Xiao,

"Draw my eyebrows!"

"..."

"Come on, you're my husband, isn't it right to draw your wife's eyebrows?"

"..."

Yang Xiao took the eyebrow pencil and gently drew a few strokes on Caiyun's eyebrows.

Yelu Caiyun's deep eyes kept staring at Yang Xiao, and he felt his heart pounding, his drawing hand slightly trembling.

He finally managed to finish drawing Caiyun's eyebrows.

Caiyun stood up, smiled charmingly, and holding Yang Xiao's hand, walked out of the bridal chamber.

At breakfast, Yelu Yan, Aunt Hong, and several close relatives of the Yelu family accompanied them.

Everyone was courteous and respectful to Yang Xiao.

After the meal, Yang Xiao was accompanied by Caiyun and Yelu Yan to the hall, where about twenty or thirty close relatives of the Yelu family were waiting.

Caiyun held Yang Xiao's hand and introduced each one, this is uncle, that is aunt...

Beside them, a maid of the Yelu family carried a tray with ten or so cups of tea.

Every time Caiyun introduced a senior relative, Yang Xiao would offer a cup of tea, and the elder would take out a prepared gift for Yang Xiao.

The gifts were varied, including weapons, equipment, crystal coins, clothes, and specialty snacks.

To Yang Xiao, he naturally didn't care for these things, but out of courtesy, a servant would help him collect them and send them to Caiyun and Yang Xiao's new room.

As for whether Yang Xiao wanted them or not, that was another matter.

After meeting the relatives, Chen Cangshan and Gao Lou came over. Caiyun and Yang Xiao, along with Qing'er, went out to stroll around Fei'e City.

Yelu Yan, being cautious, arranged for several guards to accompany Yang Xiao and the others, ready to assist.

It was Yang Xiao and Chen Cangshan's first visit to Fei'e City, so Caiyun and Gao Lou took the two around, exploring the local customs and tasting various local snacks. Everyone was having a great time.

The four of them returned to the City Lord Mansion in the afternoon. Yelu Yan had arranged a dinner. To let Yang Xiao and the young people enjoy it, Yelu Yan and Aunt Hong accompanied with just a symbolic few drinks before leaving on the pretext of having business.

Yelu Yan had just taken over the position of the City Lord, and Gao Lou's father Gao Shan was the Deputy City Lord, so the two were quite busy.

The four drank heartily and when the banquet ended, everyone was a bit tipsy. Yang Xiao drank the most, as Gao Lou and Chen Cangshan repeatedly toasted him and he started feeling dizzy.

Servants led Gao Lou and Chen Cangshan to arrange for their rest while Caiyun supported Yang Xiao back to the new room, helping him undress and settling him on the bed. She then had Qing'er bring hot water to wipe Yang Xiao's face and wash his feet.

Caiyun finished her own wash and told Qing'er to leave, closing the room door.

Caixia sat on the edge of the bed, watching Yang Xiao as he slept soundly, reaching out to gently stroke Yang Xiao's face, tears uncontrollably flowed down.

...

Early the next morning, Yang Xiao woke up, feeling a slight headache.

"Awake?"

Caixia sat beside Yang Xiao, reaching out to touch Yang Xiao's head, asking concernedly:

"Does your head still hurt? You drank a bit too much last night."

"It was Gao Lou and Chen Cangshan who kept pouring me drinks."

Caixia wrung a warm towel, applied it to Yang Xiao's forehead, and then handed him a large glass of warm water to drink.

Yang Xiao felt much better, sat up from the bed, and found that his outer clothes had been removed, leaving only his underwear, he paused and looked at Caixia.

Caixia chuckled:

"You drank too much yesterday, I noticed your clothes were a bit dirty, so I arranged for Qing'er to take them off and wash them. I have new clothes here that are just the right fit for you."

Caixia casually picked up a set of new clothes from beside the bed and handed them to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao quickly dressed.

After washing up, Caixia still requested Yang Xiao to put on the jade hairpin for her and draw her eyebrows.

Yang Xiao smiled while drawing her eyebrows:

"Aren't you afraid I'll make you look ugly?"

"It doesn't matter, I'm already yours anyway, you can draw however you like, hehe."

"..."

After breakfast, Gao Lou and Chen Cangshan also arrived.

"Yang Xiao, we only asked for a few days off before coming, we should head back to the academy, what about you?"

After hearing this, Yang Xiao glanced at Caixia.

Caixia said:

"I've already taken care of my family's matters and Fei'e City has calmed down as well, you should hurry back to the academy."

Gao Lou nodded,

"Alright, we'll leave at noon, Fei'e City has a spaceship to Flying Leopard Academy at noon."

At noon, in the Fei'e City square, a spaceship slowly landed, this was a spaceship heading to Flying Leopard Academy.

Yang Xiao, Yelu Caiyun, Gao Lou, Chen Cangshan, Qing'er, and the seeing-off Yelu Yan couple, Gao Shengyang, Gao Shan, as well as three other clan leaders, and several dozen others.

After the spaceship landed, Gao Lou bid farewell to his grandfather and father and ran towards the spaceship, Chen Cangshan waved to everyone and walked towards the spaceship.

Yang Xiao said goodbye to the people seeing him off, holding Yelu Caiyun's hand, they walked towards the spaceship together.

As they were about to board the spaceship, Yelu Caiyun suddenly let go of Yang Xiao's hand.

Yang Xiao paused, turning back to look at Caiyun.

"Yang Xiao, you should go back, I'm not returning to Flying Leopard Academy."

"Huh? Why?"

"Actually, I know my own talent well, even if I continue cultivating at Flying Leopard Academy for another ten years, I may not break through to the Empire Level Realm. I, I want to just stay in Fei'e City, after all, I have the Heavenly Silkworm Technique, Divine Mountain Sword Skill, and the Life and Death Iteration Law that you taught me, I will just stay home and cultivate slowly."

"This, how can this be? At the academy, at least I can help you improve."

"Yang Xiao, thank you, but I've decided not to return to the academy, I don't want you to feel conflicted between me and Xiao Ling.

This time you've helped me solve my Yelu family's problem, I'm already very satisfied, actually, to be honest, when I went to Flying Leopard Academy, my main purpose was to find a man who could help me solve my family's crisis, haven't I achieved that?"

"..."

Caixia was in tears.

"Yang Xiao, before you leave, could you hug me, please?"

Yang Xiao's mind went blank, he hadn't thought that Caixia would make such a choice, to part with him.

He also knew that Caixia didn't want Yang Xiao to feel uneasy when facing Xiao Ling.

"Is this your final decision? Actually, you can join me in returning, we can explain things to Xiao Ling together, Chen Cangshan and Gao Lou can testify."

Caixia gave a sorrowful smile and said:

"There's no need for that, if I'm not at the academy, you can be happier. Yang Xiao, I know you are an extraordinary person, I don't want to become a burden to you, if if in the future you can still remember me, I will be happy." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Yang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief,

Tears slipped down Caixia's face.

The spaceship staff urged:

"Hurry up, the spaceship is about to depart!"

Caixia gently pushed Yang Xiao aside,

"Take care!"

Yang Xiao gazed at Caixia, his heart trembling, he gritted his teeth and resolutely turned around, boarding the spaceship.

Yang Xiao stood at the spaceship door, looking at Caixia, silently thinking to himself:

"Take care!"

The spaceship buzzed and took off, disappearing into the sky in an instant.

Caixia watched the disappearing spaceship, feeling desolate, the two were meant to be but not to be together, unable to be forced.

Some people, even though they know each other well, cannot be together,

Some people, even after just one meeting, are destined to be together for a lifetime!
