Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 334 The Yellow Genius Mary and the Dirty Hayley

However, Louis did not leave and return to the base, but instead went to the university.

How could I possibly come all the way to Cambridge and not see Mary and the others?

Soon, in a solitary laboratory somewhere at MIT.

Louis met Marie and Hayley. After some time apart, the two hadn't changed much. They were wearing white coats and had an even stronger scholarly air about them. If Marie weren't a bit too childlike, she could easily be called a literary girl.

As for Hailey, she has a stronger scholarly air than Mary and feels more like a literary young woman, but her eyes are a bit too sharp, which ruins that feeling.

That's normal. Hailey has this kind of personality—gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, even to an extreme degree. Back then, to avenge her friend, she directly castrated that pedophile.

The two were conducting an experiment in the laboratory when they saw Louis appear. Mary threw the reagent in her hand away, startling Hayley who quickly caught it.

Wow! Louis!

Mary rushed over like a gust of wind, jumped up, stretched out her arms, and clung to Louis like a koala. Her legs wrapped tightly around Louis's waist, her body pressed close to his, and her arms encircled Louis's neck, her soft skin touching his neck.

She buried her head in Louis's chest, feeling the heat of his heartbeat, and said in a wronged voice, "Where have you been? Why did it take you so long to come? Didn't you say you'd come to see me in a while?"

Louis stroked Mary's hair. "I've been a bit busy lately. I just got back from overseas and came to see you as soon as possible."

That's not actually the case, but there's no need to say that now. Louis knew exactly what Mary wanted to hear.

This is not.

“Okay, I forgive you, but you have to spend more time with me, otherwise I’ll ignore you for a month, um, half a week…” Mary hesitated for a few moments.

Or maybe we should just ignore each other for a day.

Hayley, who was walking over, rolled her eyes and said, "Louis, you'd better calm this guy down, or the lab might explode."

???

Louis looked at Hayley with a puzzled expression.

"Heh, while you were gone, she developed a bad habit. Lately, she's been messing with those potions, and sometimes when she gets annoyed, she just throws them away. You know, the worst kind of stuff in there is sulfuric acid..."

Hailey sneered, then grabbed Mary's ear and twisted it hard.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! I know, I couldn't help it. I'll be more careful next time, I promise."

"This is your sixty-second 'next time for sure'. I swear, when you say it a hundred times, I'll hang you up and whip you!" Hailey said these terrifying words with a blank expression.

"Huh?" Mary panicked a little and was about to beg for mercy, but then she thought, why should I be afraid of her? I have Louis to protect me!
She immediately stopped what she was doing, continued to hold on tightly to Louis, raised her head, and gave him a sweet smile. "Brother Louis, you'll protect me, right?"

Louis was watching the two bickering with great interest when Mary asked him a question. He grinned mischievously and said, "That's right, I'll help you."

Mary immediately broke into a wide smile.

Mary was a huge success!
Hailey? Heh, it's nothing.

"I'll help you hang up. Don't worry, I won't help her beat you. After all, I'm on your side."

???

This is what you call standing on my side?!
Mary stared at Louis in shock, her eyes filled with unfamiliarity.

At that moment, taking advantage of her shock, a pair of hands suddenly grabbed her under both armpits and pulled her off Louis with a forceful tug.

Hayley's hand reached straight up to Mary's head, her demonic hand gripping Mary's head tightly. Her slightly androgynous, scholarly eyes, sharp yet mocking, looked at Mary as if to say, "Where do you think you're going to run off to?"

Faced with Hayley, who was stronger, older, and more developed than her, Mary was defeated and became a prisoner.

After shooing Mary aside to clean up the mess she had left behind, Hayley sat down with Louis.

The two looked at Mary.

“Mary is a genius.”

Hailey suddenly said.

"I know."

"No, don't you know how long it's been since you last studied? Do you even remember differential equations and series?"

“…Of course I remember.” Louis searched his memory and said, but then paused.

Hailey glanced at it but did not refute it.

"Haley is very talented, not just in math. I've been studying chemistry and biology since I was little because my father is a chemistry and biology expert and the director of a hospital. But you know what? She's almost caught up with me in chemistry."

"Among ordinary people, I am already a top genius. Even as a child from an ordinary family in a place like America, I can use my brain to enter elite schools and transcend social classes. But she is a more versatile and powerful genius than me. In the future, she may achieve the accomplishments of Einstein and Newton!"

"do you understand?"

People with shallow knowledge only know that Einstein and Newton were very brilliant, that Einstein had the smartest brain, and that Newton discovered universal gravitation, and that's it.

However, they are also easily questioned by others' words, who may think that the praise is excessive.

But only true scholars know the true value of these two individuals in the academic world.

They are the truth.

Praise?

That's well-deserved.

but……

What is she trying to achieve by saying all this?
Louis looked at Hayley with a calm expression.

Of all the women around him, Hailey's relationship with him was actually the shallowest. Although they met at Emilia Manor at the very beginning, they hadn't seen each other since then until recently when they reconnected.

We're not exactly strangers, but to say we have any feelings for each other would be pure nonsense.

So he didn't really know Hailey very well.

What was she trying to say?

Louis changed his attitude and began to scrutinize her.

At this moment, Hailey looked into Louis's calm eyes and felt quite pressured. For some reason, she hadn't felt it before, but now she suddenly felt a difference in life level, like that of a superior race.

She even experienced hallucinations.

Louis's figure grew taller and taller, and at the same time, he moved further and further away from her, gradually rising into the sky, looking down at her from a high place, like a god.

It made her feel like she could hardly breathe.

It seems like a moment, yet it feels like ten thousand years.

When she came to her senses, she was drenched in sweat, and her gaze towards Louis became much more restrained. She no longer beat around the bush as before, but spoke directly and frankly.

"I would like to ask you to have her slow down her research in chemistry and biology."

“I’ve tested her recently and found that her main talent lies in mathematics. Chemistry and biology have seriously hampered her progress, and she… is very tired.”

After listening to Hayley's words, Louis withdrew his scrutinizing gaze.

It turned out to be the case.

That's all I wanted to say.

Louis was somewhat speechless.

In other words, he generally doesn't use mind-reading techniques on the people around him or observe their mental fluctuations, otherwise he would have seen through their thoughts long ago.

What a waste of time.

He ignored her and instead waved to Mary, "Mary."

"Hey, it's coming."

Mary trotted over and plopped down to Louis's right, affectionately hugging his arm and looking up at him. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just asking if you feel tired or sleepy from your recent chemistry and biology research."

"It's alright, I can manage," Mary said in a seemingly indifferent tone.

"Okay, I understand. You don't need to do any of this for now. Focus on studying math." "Huh?"

Louis ruffled her blonde hair. "Be good."

Marie was like a cat that could be easily tamed; as soon as Louis spoke in a slightly serious tone, she would become incredibly obedient and prioritize Louis's important business.

However, Mary still felt something was strange about this. She looked at Hayley with keen insight, and her intuition told her that Hayley was involved!
But then she saw Hailey looking at Louis with slight surprise, as if she had seen something that did not conform to her understanding.

In fact, Hayley had always had a good impression of Louis, thanks to their shared experience of being trapped together when they were young. However, when they met again as adults, Louis seemed to have changed his personality as he gained mysterious powers.

Just from the fact that during this period he treated Mary and himself like beasts of burden, without showing much human care or comfort, Hailey began to have some doubts about his character.

She is very sensitive to this.

After all, her friend died because he was deceived in his feelings.

Unexpectedly, Louis made Marie give up so readily, as if he didn't care at all, which made her look rather foolish...

Hailey pursed her lips and looked at Louis. "I'm sorry."

Louis waved his hand, not paying any attention.

Mary's brow furrowed even deeper, waiting for her intuition to warn her that something she didn't know must have happened between the two of them.

hateful!

So curious!

Louis pinched her cheek. "Study math well, and don't fall behind on what I teach you. It's good for your health, you're doing this now..."

Louis's Yang God power swept across the area slightly.

His inner energy is perfected, and he is only one step away from the Yin God Realm, just like Maria.

Then there's Hayley next to her, who's a bit weaker, only at the late stage of Inner Qi cultivation. That's normal, considering she joined Louis the latest and started cultivating the latest. If she can surpass him, Louis should focus on nurturing her.

Now that Mary's inner energy is complete and she can break through, then...

"Mary, we..." Louis suddenly whispered in Mary's ear.

After saying something, Mary's face flushed bright red, and she lowered her head shyly, her fingers twisting together as if revealing the girl's turbulent inner world.

After a while.

"Ah."

A voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz rang out, and as soon as she finished speaking, Mary turned around and fled to tidy up the lab table, which was actually already tidied up.

Upon seeing this, Louis couldn't help but laugh.

The little girl is quite shy.

Wait, is she misunderstanding something...?

Never mind, waiting until tonight... seems like it would be fun.

Hayley, watching this scene from the side, raised an eyebrow. She could roughly guess what Louis and Marie were talking about, but this kind of thing...

Hailey's eyes were somewhat vacant, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

……

Rabbits run and crows fly.

The night sky is quiet and filled with countless stars.

At Louis's villa.

Room on the second floor.

On a large, soft, white bed.

Mary sat opposite Louis, wearing a light pink lace nightgown.

Louis looked amused.

Mary, on the other hand, had a look on her face that said she wanted to die.

"You, I only said to come to my room tonight and I'll help you break through to the Yin Spirit Realm. What are you thinking? Your thoughts are so dirty."

"Oh, you've been naughty lately. What have you been secretly looking at?"

Mary pressed her lips tightly together, determined not to say a word.

But Louis's attack was not over yet.

"Look at this outfit, see-through, sexy pink, and that black silk eye mask and stockings, wow, I didn't even think of these things, you're quite the player."

"However... she doesn't really suit you. Hmm, a mature woman would be more suitable, preferably in purple or red..."

"Ah! Bastard!" Mary went berserk and pounced on Louis, launching a furious attack.

The room was filled with the sounds of Louis and Marie playfully fighting.

at this time.

outside the house.

Hayley, who had secretly arrived at some unknown time, stood not far from the door, listening to the faint sounds coming from inside, her expression becoming extremely complicated.

After a while, she couldn't resist and secretly approached, putting her ear to the door to listen.

in the room.

The two quickly stopped fighting. Louis took out the Blood Pill and fed it to Mary, while simultaneously releasing his Yang God power to assist Mary in her breakthrough.

Because the controlled Yang God power was very warm, Mary felt as if she were lying on a sunny beach enjoying the comfort of a massage parlor, and even couldn't help but make sounds.

Louis's lips twitched.

I can't help but marvel at how precocious American girls are.

However, Louis really didn't have any feelings for Marie. She's only fifteen years old now, not even sixteen yet. If he really wanted to, she'd have to be at least sixteen.

Even if America is chaotic and precocious, that's America's business. Louis has his own set of rules, especially when it comes to Mary.

Louis was indeed more concerned about Mary.

However, if Mary's talent is really as great as Hailey said...

Should I teach Mary the general principles of the Star Formation later?
For a mathematician to study formations is practically a second-hand profession. With Mary's talent, she might just become a master of formations.

However, considering the difficulty of forming the formation, Louis narrowed his target slightly.

Let's teach the formation to Mary after she has made great progress in mathematics, and we should do it step by step to avoid her getting into a state of frenzied research and exhausting herself.

As for alchemy and biological research, let's put them aside for now. We really need to develop our skills in the field first, and we can pick them up again when we have more free time later.

Okay, let's arrange it this way.

Louis thought to himself.

Time passed amidst Mary's increasingly ambiguous voice, and her aura began to grow stronger, indicating that she was not far from breaking through.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Louis, who had been ignoring the actions of someone outside, suddenly frowned, glanced at the door, and his lips twitched.

Shake his head slightly.

In a flash of thought.

She gently pushed the guy who had been eavesdropping outside her door and ended up messing things up back into her own room.

While you're at it, clean up the wet stains on the floor outside the door.
