Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 573: Engagement

Gong Yu stood beside Yang Xiao and whispered:

"Boss, those four beautiful ladies, usually as proud as fairies, agreed to marry you in public without any reservations about propriety and dignity. What are you hesitating for? Do you want the four girls to kneel down and propose to you? Just nod your head and agree."

Hearing Gong Yu's words, Yang Xiao was momentarily stunned, took a deep breath, walked over to Lan Xin and the others, and softly said:

"Huang Wen, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, Lan Xin, I have always been aware of your feelings for me and am thankful for how good you have been to me. I will keep this affection in my heart for the rest of my life and will never forget it. In this apocalypse, being able to meet you is the luck of my lifetime. If you are willing to marry me, I, Yang Xiao, am willing to marry you and protect you with my life."

Yang Xiao looked at Lan Xin and the others.

Lan Xin and the others also looked up at Yang Xiao.

Lan Xin nodded and said:

"Yang Xiao, the four of us sisters are willing to marry you together. Although we can't ask you for monogamy, we only ask that you truly like us."

Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and Deng Xiao also nodded.

Gong Yu and others teased from the side:

"Boss, why not just hold the wedding tonight and let us have some fun with the bridal chamber."

Lan Xin and the others bashfully lowered their heads.

Yang Xiao, feeling a bit embarrassed, coughed lightly and said:

"I have to leave for Wentian City tomorrow, so it's not really appropriate, as it's too rushed."

Xiao Zhe said:

"Yang Xiao, since you are leaving tomorrow, you should hold a wedding ceremony with Huang Wen and the others to settle this matter, even if it's just an engagement for now, to give them a proper status. You can't keep them hoping forever, right?"

At this moment, Yang Xiao held no major reservations in his heart, looked at Lan Xin and the others, and said:

"What do you think?"

Qin Yu shyly said:

"You decide, we'll follow your lead."

"Well then, let's get engaged first, and after I return from Wentian City, we'll formally hold the wedding ceremony. I already owe you four so much, it's only right to give you this status."

Huang Wen and others also let go of their inhibitions at this moment, feeling less constrained, though still a bit embarrassed, but since they've made the decision to marry Yang Xiao and to live together with him, they went ahead.

Huang Wen and others nodded.

Thus, Xiao Zhe and others immediately instructed their subordinates to prepare.

Shortly after, Yang Xiao and Lan Xin held the engagement ceremony together.

The ceremony was simple but the atmosphere was festive.

Monk Ben Yin, as the officiant of the engagement, and Gong Yu and Xia Luo as the witnesses, along with hundreds of others, bore witness to the engagement of Yang Xiao and Lan Xin's group.

Since it was not a wedding, there was no bridal chamber.

Everyone knew that Yang Xiao was leaving for Wentian City tomorrow, and they all sensed that this trip to Wentian City was somewhat special, so they deliberately left more time for Yang Xiao and Lan Xin's group to say goodbye.

Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and Deng Xiao usually cultivated at the Shenming Mountain Sect and had their own rooms at Kongming Academy.

After Kongming Academy was repurposed as Shenming Mountain Sect's site, both the office building and the teaching building were utilized, providing hundreds of rooms.

To avoid awkwardness, Lan Xin and the others said their farewells to Yang Xiao in their respective rooms.

Lan Xin's room was at the front, and Yang Xiao naturally entered Lan Xin's room first.

Lan Xin looked at Yang Xiao with a tender gaze.

Yang Xiao felt somewhat awkward.

"Lan Xin, I—"

"Are you trying to say something like 'I'm sorry'?"

"..."

"Pfft," Lan Xin covered her mouth and chuckled softly, saying:

"Are you overjoyed inside?"

Yang Xiao was indeed overjoyed, but he dared not show it. Instead, he feigned helplessness and said:

"I never thought it would turn out this way. I didn't even expect to meet you."

"Hmm, by saying this, does it mean I'm the one who got lucky to marry you?"

"No, no, no,"

Yang Xiao quickly waved his hand and said:

"It's me who got incredibly lucky, marrying a celestial beauty like you. It must be the good fortune accumulated from our ancestors over eighteen generations."

Lan Xin covered her mouth and chuckled, looking at Yang Xiao, then suddenly said somberly:

"I never thought I would have to share a husband with other women. I don't like to compete for favor. If you ever neglect me in the future, I will return to Divine Mountain."

Yang Xiao's heart softened, holding Lan Xin's hand tightly.

"If I ever neglect you, may I be struck by lightning,"

He didn't finish his sentence, as Lan Xin covered his mouth with her hand and scolded:

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Yang Xiao looked at the heavenly beautiful Lan Xin in front of him, breathed in her scent, and couldn't help swaying inwardly. He embraced her slender waist and kissed her.

Lan Xin struggled to push Yang Xiao away, and said in a low voice:

"Huang Wen and others are waiting for you. They'll tease me later. You better go and say goodbye to them,"

After saying that, she lowered her head shyly and added:

"Next time you come back from Wentian City, I, I..."

The last few words were so soft, they were almost like a mosquito's buzz.

Yang Xiao took a deep breath to sober up from his intoxication, picked up a cold cup of water from the coffee table and drank it in one gulp, calming himself significantly.

Knowing Lan Xin's personality and considering Huang Wen and the others were waiting in another room, he realized he couldn't delay any longer with Lan Xin. He nodded and said:

"Alright, then I must leave."

"Mmm!"

Lan Xin responded softly, watching Yang Xiao walk to the door. Suddenly, a wave of inexplicable sadness surged in her heart, moistening her eyes.

Yang Xiao stopped as he reached the door, turned around to look at Lan Xin, and said:

"Lan Xin, I love you!"

Yang Xiao then walked out the door.

Lan Xin, hearing Yang Xiao's words, trembled slightly, her whole body stiffened, staring blankly as Yang Xiao walked away. It was only when Yang Xiao was far away that she gathered herself, closed her eyes, and tears slid down.

Sharing a man with three other women was truly painful for Lan Xin.

Unknown if it was intentionally arranged by others, the hallway was empty except for Yang Xiao and Lan Xin.

Huang Wen's room was separated by two empty rooms from Lan Xin's, and the doors of the four rooms were adorned with red papers bearing their names.

Yang Xiao knocked at Huang Wen's room, and the door opened.

Yang Xiao paused at the sight; Huang Wen had intentionally changed into a neat and elegant outfit.

Huang Wen greeted Yang Xiao with a gentle smile, and Yang Xiao entered the room, noticing a freshly brewed cup of tea on the table.

"I never thought that one day you would marry me!"

Huang Wen started.

Yang Xiao smiled,

"You are beautiful and competent now, entirely worthy of anyone, including me."

"All thanks to you, otherwise, I would still be the leader of the dinosaur team."

Huang Wen chuckled lightly.
