Du Kao's Misunderstanding

It was already afternoon. Well-rested, Lian Feng slowly woke up.

Lian Feng had slept very comfortably, feeling especially warm the entire time.

When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the blanket covering her. Then she immediately felt as though something was holding her.

Pulling back the blanket, Lian Feng froze. Lin Xiao was nestled in her arms, sleeping soundly.

Most importantly, Lin Xiao was even drooling. A large patch of her clothes over her chest was soaked.

"Ah!"

Lian Feng's scream nearly shattered the glass beside her.

The incredibly high-pitched sound exploded beside Lin Xiao's ear, instantly jolting him awake.

The moment Lin Xiao opened his eyes, he saw a delicate little foot kicking toward him, sending him off the sofa.

"Ow. That hurts like hell. What's going on?"

"Lin Xiao, you bastard! What did you do to me?"

Lian Feng checked herself over and only relaxed slightly after finding herself completely unharmed.

"I didn't do anything!"

"Then why were you sleeping in my arms?!"

Although nothing had happened, Lian Feng had clearly been taken advantage of, and she was still furious.

"I was sleepy. Your scent calms the mind and helps with sleep, so I slept there. Isn't that what an assistant is supposed to do?!"

"Only assistants in your family do that! I'm not your secretary. No, even a secretary can't do that."

Lian Feng was speechless, utterly speechless. She had no idea what went through this genius's head. It felt like punching cotton.

Lian Feng straightened her clothes and got up to enter the bathroom. She needed to thoroughly wipe off the drool on her body.

Lin Xiao rubbed his stomach. This girl was truly violent. She would not even let him smell her scent, but the less she allowed it, the more he wanted to.

Knock, knock!

"Come in!"

Just as Lin Xiao was putting away the finished ultra-high-energy compressed jerky, someone knocked on the door.

Click!

The door opened, and Du Kao strode in with his head held high. He looked around first, then asked in confusion.

"Major General Lin, you're up. Where's Lian Feng?"

"She went to the bathroom. She's probably taking a shower."

Du Kao's expression changed when he heard that. In fact, he had come by at noon.

He had knocked for quite a while without anyone answering. Thinking they were both men and there was nothing to avoid, he had opened the door and entered.

Yet Du Kao had never expected Lin Xiao and Lian Feng to be embracing each other, sleeping very sweetly.

Du Kao's eyes had nearly popped out. Ever since before, Lian Feng had been the flower of the genetic engineering department. Countless people had wanted to pluck her, only to return defeated.

Back then, he had been one of them too. Unfortunately, she had not thought much of him. Now she was even married with children, so there was no hope left at all.

What Du Kao had not expected was that Lin Xiao had only been here for half a day, yet had already plucked Lian Feng, this beautiful flower.

Du Kao sighed inwardly and could only quietly withdraw from the room, returning first.

Between a man and a woman, a woman generally showered before or after they finished. Lian Feng was showering now, so what did that mean? It went without saying.

"Major General Lin truly has astonishing charm, but you should know how to restrain yourself."

"Restrain myself? Restrain what? Right, is the laboratory ready?"

Lin Xiao did not quite understand what Du Kao meant, but he was still thinking about his laboratory.

"It's ready. I'll take you there later. Also, we need to discuss the matter of forming the Super God Squad again. I'll show you the personnel files while we're at it."

"Alright, let's go."

"Aren't we waiting for Lian Feng?"

"Oh, right, I almost forgot. I'll go call her."

Lin Xiao slapped his forehead, walked straight to the bathroom, and entered without even knocking.

"Ah, you bastard! What are you doing in here? Get out!"

Another ear-splitting scream rang out, followed by Lin Xiao being kicked out once more.

"Ow, why did you hit me again? I was calling you to a meeting."

Lin Xiao clutched his stomach and rolled around on the floor in pain. He had been kicked twice in the same spot, and this time she had even been wearing high heels. She had nearly kicked last night's dinner out of him.

As for getting an eyeful or anything like that, it was complete nonsense. He had not seen anything.

When he entered, Lian Feng had just finished using the toilet and was pulling on her pants. But it was only a white butt. What was so special about that? His was white too.

"Hehe, Major General Lin, are you alright? We should wait a while."

Du Kao helped Lin Xiao up, sympathy in his eyes. When Lian Feng was young, she had been known as the Pink Pointed Chili Pepper.

Lin Xiao was truly impressive, making Lian Feng reveal her youthful side again. But Du Kao figured Lin Xiao still had plenty more suffering ahead of him.

Lin Xiao and Du Kao sat on the sofa, drinking tea as they waited. After quite some time, Lian Feng finally emerged with a cold expression. Without saying a word, she left the room on her own.

Lin Xiao and Du Kao exchanged a glance, then got up and followed her out.

Inside the Giant Xia conference hall, Du Kao pointed at a collection of portraits on the screen as he introduced them.

Matters involving files had previously been handled by Lian Feng, his assistant. But now she was Lin Xiao's assistant, so he could only do it himself. Besides, Lian Feng's expression was not very good right now.

"Major General Lin, these are all the Super Gene carriers in our Super God Project. They are currently inactive. Only the Light of the Sun from the Fierce Sun Civilization, Di Lena of the present Heavenly Dao Civilization, has the authority to activate them early."

"Oh? Your Super Genes need another civilization to activate them? How strange."

"It was part of the alliance agreement we reached with them!"

Lin Xiao curled his lips. It should have been a surrender agreement, right? If not for the Angel Civilization's intervention, they probably would have been wiped out long ago.

Still, Du Kao was truly good at keeping his composure. They had only destroyed half of the other side's planet back then.

Yet the other side had destroyed their entire civilization, and Du Kao could still reach an understanding with them. Should he call Du Kao a wise man who understood the times?

In any case, Lin Xiao felt that if it were him, he definitely could not do it. Su Mali had stabbed him once, and he still remembered it clearly. If he ever got the chance, he would absolutely stab him back ten times.

"Fine, an agreement is an agreement. I want these three."

From among the many photographs, Lin Xiao pointed to three people: Galactic Power Ge Xiaolun, De Star Spear Zhao Xin, and He Weilun.

He had his reasons for choosing the three of them. His primary target was Ge Xiaolun.

It was not because Ge Xiaolun was the protagonist that Lin Xiao chose him. What he valued was mainly his Void Creation ability.

With him around, Lin Xiao would only need to design the blueprints, then have Ge Xiaolun create the parts before assembling them himself. It would save a great deal of time.

And to give Ge Xiaolun that ability, he would need He Xi's disciple, the right-wing guardian Zhi Xin.

That mischievous girl He Xi had left many things in his mind, and the Sacred Code was one of them.

Much of his artificial intelligence program had drawn from the Sacred Code.

But the gap in technology was simply too vast. Even with the Sacred Code, he could not design something as absurd as Hero Core.

Therefore, if he brought Zhao Xin over, he could gain his guardian angel, Zhi Xin.

Lin Xiao also wanted to see just how gifted this angel girl was, gifted enough to make even him feel ashamed.

As for He Weilun, that was personal preference. The appeal of uniforms and such—of course, that was a joke.

His targets were Qi Lin and He Weilun, but Qi Lin was not within Du Kao's surveillance range.

The two of them carried the most basic God River Super Genes. They were not as overpowered as those De Nuo Super Genes, but their compatibility and adaptability were the strongest.

Lin Xiao could test many of the ideas in his mind on these two girls.

When he said he was not good at genetic technology, that was only relative. It was because he was simply too skilled at mechanical technology, and it was also where his interests lay.

Lin Xiao had organized the things He Xi had left in his mind. There was the Sacred Code, conceptual designs for celestial-computer-level systems, divine body upgrade technology, and more. There was even the Angel Gene Map.

Lin Xiao truly could not understand what He Xi had been thinking. Had she treated him like a portable hard drive? A place to store data? He could not figure it out.
