Chapter 307: Chapter 310 - Two People Alone_1

Yang Gang shook his head, deciding not to think further on it.

Gu Xiaorou also let go of Yang Gang and stepped back.

In the split second before the snakes surged forward, Yang Gang activated the cobra gene within his body.

At this moment, Yang Gang exuded the aura of a cobra, the king of the jungle.

Seeing the accelerating onslaught of the snakes, Gu Xiaorou’s countenance changed in fear, forgetting even to close her eyes.

The next moment, however, she was astounded.

Upon reaching a point less than a meter away from Yang Gang, the snakes suddenly stopped advancing before scattering and fleeing.

In an instant, there were no traces of any snakes left on the entire beach.

"Gang, what did you do to the snakes?" Gu Xiaorou exclaimed.

"I didn’t do anything. I simply expressed a resolution to protect you with my life, and the snakes backed off. It’s really not a big deal. Snakes are psychic creatures; they sensed my determination and retreated," Yang Gang casually deflected.

"Oh." Gu Xiaorou seemed to believe him.

Yang Gang turned to look at Gu Xiaorou, contemplating slightly before saying abruptly, "Xiaorou, I’ve confirmed recently that we’re both genetically modified. Genetic modifiers either possess strong combat capabilities or some ’Qimen Dunjia’ abilities. Xiaorou, your combat strength is mediocre, do you perhaps have some Qimen Dunjia abilities?"

Gu Xiaorou looked at Yang Gang and nodded.

"Huh, what kind of ability is it?" Yang Gang asked curiously.

Gu Xiaorou stayed silent for a long time before nervously looking at Yang Gang, "Divination."

"Really? Xiaorou, you’re a diviner? God, that’s a super-rare profession!" Yang Gang exclaimed.

Diviners are the most mysterious profession in the Bounty Hunters world, being both rare and precious.

As for the world of Bounty Hunters, Yang Gang recently discovered that it was essentially a world composed of genetically modified people, or the so-called "new humans". Those registered as Bounty Hunters were primarily genetically modified.

Back to Diviners.

The various major powers of the new humans would even launch wars to fight over diviners.

This sufficiently demonstrated the importance of diviners.

Gu Xiaorou nervously looked at Yang Gang, "Well, Gang, aren’t you scared?"

Yang Gang frowned, "Scared of what?"

"Many people revere the language ability of diviners and would avoid them," Gu Xiaorou explained.

Yang Gang laughed, "Silly girl, as long as you can’t read minds, I’m not scared."

But a hint of melancholy flashed through his heart.

"Indeed, while many people revere diviners, they are themselves fearful of the entire world."

As if suddenly remembering something, Yang Gang asked, "Xiaorou, is this why you’ve been keeping it a secret from me?"

"Yes," responded Gu Xiaorou with a nod.

"Does anyone else know you’re a diviner?" Yang Gang asked seriously.

Gu Xiaorou shook her head, "No one else knows but you."

Yang Gang breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good. If anyone else found out, they would do everything they could to take you away from me."

It almost sounded like something a boyfriend would say.

Young Master Yang was a bit slow to realise.

Meanwhile, a sweet feeling momentarily flickered in Gu Xiaorou’s heart, though she kept silent.

Yang Gang trailed off, a sudden thought occurring to him, "Xiaorou, you once said that even if the entire world abandoned me, you would still stand by my side. Why did you say that? Did you divine something?"

Gu Xiaorou remained silent for a moment before replying, "My divinations are usually expressed through dreams. I dreamt that you were pushed off a cliff, isolated and helpless. Vicious insults full of hatred echoed through the valley, mingled with various languages from around the world. This was a prophecy of abandonment and hatred, so that’s why said I those words."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "However, I sometimes can’t distinguish whether my dreams are prophecies or simply nightmares. The dream about you, perhaps, was just a night terror. After all, I can’t understand what you could have possibly done to be abandoned by the entire world."

Yang Gang inwardly sighed, "Xiaorou, that wasn’t a nightmare, that was indeed a prophecy."

He shook his head, collected his thoughts before looking up with a faint smile, "As long as you’re by my side, I can’t be considered abandoned by the entire world. Sometimes, a woman is the whole world to a man."

Gu Xiaorou’s face turned red, "Is that supposed to be a flirtation?"

Yang Gang touched his nose, saying with a sour tone, "The thought of you marrying Zhang Yu makes me feel quite upset."

Gu Xiaorou lit up, "Really?"

"Yeah. It’s like the feeling of a daughter getting married," Yang Gang added.

Gu Xiaorou angrily opened her mouth wide and lunged to bite him again.

Yang Gang hurriedly dodged as Gu Xiaorou continued the chase.

The two of them began to chase each other around on the little beach.

When they were tired from their playful chase, they lay back down side by side on the beach.

A moment later, Yang Gang suddenly stood up and walked towards the sea.

"Gangzi, what are you doing?" Gu Xiaorou asked nervously.

Yang Gang smiled, "I know you like collecting seashells. I’m going to dive and see if there are any beautiful shells on the seabed."

Before Gu Xiaorou could respond, Yang Gang leapt, diving into the sea.

With the crocodile gene in his body, he was confident in the water.

But soon, Yang Gang realized something was off.

He had clearly activated the crocodile gene but didn’t have the ability to breathe underwater.

"Damn, is the crocodile not able to swim either?!"

After a moment of consideration, Yang Gang suddenly realized.

It was true that he had the crocodile gene, but that was only the best gene of the crocodile.

The crocodile’s main advantage was its thick, solid skin that was immune to sharp objects!

The crocodile gene that he had absorbed was just this type. He didn’t possess the other aspects of the crocodile’s abilities.

"Without the ability to breathe underwater, it’s tough to dive to the seabed, even if it’s just near the coast."

After a slight hesitation, Yang Gang gritted his teeth and continued to swim towards the seabed.

Once at the seabed, Yang Gang’s gaze immediately landed on a seashell.

This shell was shaped like angel wings, with wave-like patterns etched on its exterior and a pearl-like shimmering light on its back. It was very beautiful.

Yang Gang picked up the shell and then, with great difficulty, managed to surface from the water.

Seeing Yang Gang resurface, Gu Xiaorou quickly ran over.

Yang Gang raised the seashell in his hand and, looking at Gu Xiaorou, smiled faintly, "For you."

Gu Xiaorou took the seashell, a warm feeling spreading in her chest. While holding the angel-wing shaped seashell gently, she whispered a soft thank you.

Then, they gathered firewood on the beach and started a bonfire. Gu Xiaorou helped Yang Gang dry his clothes while he strung the seashell onto a red rope.

Once the clothes were dry and the seashell strung, Gu Xiaorou wore the seashell necklace, a sweet smile on her face.

Afterwards, the two sat back to back beside the fire on the beach, neither saying a word.

After a long while, as the morning star rose, a faint look of loss appeared on Gu Xiaorou’s face, "It’s time."

"Yeah." Yang Gang stood up, extended his hand to Gu Xiaorou and said softly, "Xiaorou, whether you marry Zhang Yu or not, I’ll always be your guardian knight. This fate was decided seven years ago, from the moment we first met. You may want to escape me, but I won’t let you."

Gu Xiaorou placed her hand in Yang Gang’s, humming, "Hmph! I’ll return your last sentence back to you."

"What do we call this again?" Yang Gang asked, pulling Gu Xiaorou up and laughing.

"A doomed romance," Gu Xiaorou replied.

"Perfect."

...

After dropping Gu Xiaorou back at the airport, Yang Gang returned home.

When he entered his room, Yang Gang was startled to find a woman lying on his bed.
