Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 1203 - 1194: A Lonely Grave Far Away, No Place to Speak of Sorrow

Gu Hai warmly invited Yang Xiao into the VIP room on the first floor.

The two of them sat down, and the staff quickly brewed the finest tea and brought out nuts and snacks.

Gu Hai looked at Yang Xiao and laughed:

"Brother Yang, you are now famous on Witch Star. You’re the leader of Purple Origin Star and handling Flying Leopard Empire affairs, and you’ve personally killed Long Kui and War God, two super evolvers at the Emperor Level Realm.

It’s truly unexpected, amazing, absolutely amazing!"

Yang Xiao laughed heartily:

"Lord Gu Hai, you flatter me. I just had good luck. Looking back, if it weren’t for your help, I might have perished in Dragon City, and wouldn’t be here today. I’ve never dared to forget your life-saving grace, Lord Gu Hai."

"Oh, Brother Yang, saying this makes it sound too formal. It was just a small favor, and besides, you are a distinguished guest of our Great Elder. As subordinates, how dare we not take care of the Great Elder’s friend?"

"Lord Gu Hai, now that you’ve mentioned it, I do wonder if the Great Elder of Gu Hai has returned to the headquarters on Witch Star?"

Gu Hai shook his head,

"Shouldn’t the Great Elder be on Earth?"

"No, I went back to Earth recently and searched many places but couldn’t find Elder Gu Bo. Some staff from Genetic Store speculate that Elder Gu Bo might have already left Earth."

Gu Hai listened, paused for a moment, and said:

"This is the first time I’ve heard of this information. It seems I should pass this information to the headquarters later. By the way, Brother Yang, you’ve killed Long Kui and War God, making you an enemy of the Great Dragon Empire. Why are you here in Dragon City? Aren’t you afraid the Emperor of Great Dragon will seek revenge?"

"I came to Dragon City as a Go player representing Flying Leopard Empire to participate in the Go exchange tournament. According to international conventions, the Emperor of Great Dragon won’t seek revenge, right?"

"Oh, I see, then there should be no problem. However, you should still be cautious while moving around Dragon City, not revealing your identity, to avoid any unforeseen events."

"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Lord Gu Hai. When I left Dragon City, I entrusted you with the construction of the slum. I wonder how it’s going?"

"Oh, the slum? Haha, you’ve come at the right time. Let me take you to see it. As per your request, I’ve used all the twenty billion Crystal Coins to build a new community for the slum, allowing one hundred thousand poor people to reside there for free. These houses were completed two years ago, and the nearby poor have all moved into new homes. Everyone is very happy.

Moreover, when the Holy Daughter of the Great Dragon Empire heard about it, she even came over to visit the newly built community, praising our good work.

However, the project was conducted in the name of our Genetic Store, without revealing your identity."

Yang Xiao nodded:

"Good, if you had revealed my identity, I’m afraid the Emperor of Great Dragon might have razed the entire slum community in anger."

The two chatted for a while, then Gu Hai took Yang Xiao out of the Genetic Store to go to visit the slum community outskirts in person, with Bing’er following behind.

Soon, the group arrived at the former slums.

However, compared to four years ago, there’s no trace of the slums here anymore. Dozens of high-rise buildings stand tall, and the community environment is beautiful and clean, with guards patrolling and staff taking care of sanitation and management duties.

The people in the community are familiar with Gu Hai and very grateful to him. As of now, everyone assumes this community is a charitable project funded by the Genetic Store.

"Oh, Lord Gu Hai, you’ve come, have a cup of tea at my place?"

An old lady walked over, trying to take Gu Hai inside.

Gu Hai quickly declined:

"Auntie Xue, no need to bother, I have matters here, no tea for me."

"Oh, what’s the problem with having a cup of tea, it won’t take up your time."

Aunt Xue warmly insisted.

Gu Hai smiled:

"Aunt Xue, a sewer in the community is blocked. Passing by, I’m here with staff to check the situation, no time for tea today, another time."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xue immediately said:

"Ah, then you should hurry and attend to that matter, I won’t hold you up."

Along the way, they encountered many people, most could call out Gu Hai’s name, showing much respect, and a few enthusiastically invited Gu Hai to visit their homes, which he politely declined one by one.

Yang Xiao laughed:

"Lord Gu Hai, you hold a significant position in everyone’s mind here. I guess, even if you lose your job at the Genetic Store, as long as you come to this community, you won’t have to worry about meals."

Gu Hai laughed heartily,

"That’s all thanks to your generosity, Yang Xiao. Honestly, when you first gave me twenty billion to help build the slums, I thought you were crazy. With so much money, why not do something else? Why build a slum?

But after I visited the slum, my heart was deeply moved. Back then, the fire started by Long Aotian almost burned the entire slum to the ground, the cries were overwhelming, unbearably tragic.

After building the slum, seeing everyone’s happy smiles gave me a different kind of fulfillment and shock, which I had never experienced before.

Honestly, Yang Xiao, I really admire you!"

Yang Xiao said:

"Back then, it was because of me that Long Aotian burned down the slum. If I didn’t do anything, I wouldn’t be able to live with my conscience.

I only contributed a small amount of money. You did all the actual work, you’re the one who truly deserves credit, I thank you."

Faced with Yang Xiao’s modesty, Gu Hai’s admiration grew deeper.

Gu Hai took Yang Xiao around the slum for an inspection, then led Yang Xiao and Bing’er to a small hill near the slum.

On a hillside, there were two graves overgrown with wild grass.

"Brother Yang, according to your instructions, I found Bing’er’s grandfather’s body and Caixia’s body, and could only bury them here hastily."

Seeing the graves of her grandfather and Caixia, Bing’er could no longer hold back her sorrow and burst out crying,

falling to her knees in front of the graves.

"Grandpa, Sister Caixia, Bing’er is here to see you, sobbing...

Grandpa, don’t worry, Bing’er is doing well now, Uncle Yang Xiao takes good care of Bing’er and loves Bing’er. Bing’er has also met Sister Xiao Ling, she loves Bing’er too, sobbing...

Bing’er has also activated the Beast Soul and started Genetic Evolution, sobbing...

Grandpa, Sister Caixia, rest assured, once Bing’er completes her genetic evolution and cultivation, I will avenge you, sobbing..."

Seeing Bing’er crying mournfully, Yang Xiao recalled his past life in the slums, scenes flashed through his mind, his heart sank, and his eyes grew moist.

"Ten years of life and death are blurred, without thought, yet hard to forget, a lone grave a thousand miles away, nowhere to speak of desolation!"
