Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 444 - 443: Preparing the Flower Garden
"Dongxu, with your cooking skills, if you ever decided to enter a chef competition, no one else would stand a chance," Liu Jiayao said while eating at the dining table, unable to stop herself from praising him.
"Hehe, not bad, huh? My master is quite picky, and doesn’t like to be a bother in his old age, so when I was very young, besides cultivating, I was cooking all the time," Ge Dongxu said with pride, seeing Liu Jiayao’s continuous compliments.
"Not just not bad, it’s absolutely delicious! Had I known how amazing your cooking was, I wouldn’t have bothered going to the restaurant at Mingyue Lake. From now on, you’ll have to cook for me once a week," Liu Jiayao said.
"I could cook every day without a problem," Ge Dongxu laughed.
"That won’t do, if you cooked for me every day, I’d turn into a fatso for sure. Besides, if you stayed at home all day, how would I ever get any rest?" Liu Jiayao touched her slightly protruding belly and gave Ge Dongxu a pointed look.
"With Sister Liu’s grace and beauty, even if you gained weight, you’d definitely be a beauty like Yang Guifei," Ge Dongxu said, cheerfully ignoring the latter part of Liu Jiayao’s complaint.
"With the way you talk, by the time you go to college, who knows how many female classmates will be fooled by you," Liu Jiayao rolled her eyes, but felt quite pleased inside.
"I would only say that to you," Ge Dongxu said.
"What about Sister Lili then?" Liu Jiayao asked deliberately.
"Cough, cough!" Ge Dongxu suddenly choked on the question.
"You, you’ve given yourself away!" Liu Jiayao saw this and jabbed Ge Dongxu’s forehead with her finger, reproachfully chiding him.
"Hehe." Ge Dongxu rubbed his forehead and gave an embarrassed smile.
There was no way he could defend his relationship with Jiang Lili.
Seeing Ge Dongxu’s sheepish look, Liu Jiayao tapped his forehead again with her finger, then contentedly rubbed her belly saying, "I can’t eat anymore, or I’ll burst."
Relieved that Liu Jiayao had not brought up Jiang Lili again, Ge Dongxu quickly stood up saying, "Let me clean up."
"Leave it, I’ll do it," Liu Jiayao asserted, rising and snatching the utensils from Ge Dongxu’s hands.
Ge Dongxu still wanted to insist, but Liu Jiayao glared with a threat, "Do you want to sleep in the guest room tonight?"

Ge Dongxu had no choice but to let go, and while Liu Jiayao was washing dishes, he couldn’t help but hug her from behind and tenderly said, "What good deeds did I do in my last life to have met you in this life?"
...
"You, how are you getting so good? No, you have to break through to the Dragon Tiger Realm soon because one day I’ll collapse from exhaustion. Otherwise, you’ll have to go find your Sister Li to help out," Liu Jiayao gasped late at night on the pink bed, feeling completely weak and flopped over Ge Dongxu’s shoulder, too exhausted to move.
"It might be because we haven’t been together for a while, and it might also be related to a recent breakthrough in my cultivation," Ge Dongxu explained with a wry smile.
Although he was progressing quickly, breaking through to the Dragon Tiger Realm was far from easy.
Especially breaking through from the Qi Cultivation realm to the Dragon Tiger realm, this is a qualitative leap, not just about providing enough spiritual energy or elixirs. It also requires a higher understanding of the Heavenly Dao, which requires talent, opportunity, and time to settle.
Therefore, Liu Jiayao’s urging was useless, and as for asking Jiang Lili for help, he had thought about it, but what if he couldn’t control himself?
Jiang Lili and Liu Jiayao were not the same type of woman.
"You guy, you really make one both love and fear!" Liu Jiayao couldn’t help but bite his shoulder as she spoke.
Ge Dongxu, touching her smooth, fragrant back, sighed helplessly, "It seems that after school starts, I can only try to come here less often."
Upon hearing Ge Dongxu say this, Liu Jiayao couldn’t bear it anymore. She hugged his neck and kissed him, saying, "You fool, I was just kidding. Once a week is still possible."
Ge Dongxu, hearing this, hugged Liu Jiayao and tenderly kissed her forehead but did not respond.
...
The next day, Ge Dongxu accompanied Liu Jiayao to her workplace.
She went to work on the company’s affairs while Ge Dongxu stayed in the adjoining rest room, engraving the Talisman Jade for the flower gardens.
The jade was what Ge Dongxu had purchased from the border last time. When he returned from the border to Linzhou City, except for the Jade Tokens used for setting up the Spirit Gathering Array, which he took with him, the jade meant for the flower gardens was left directly in Yadu Garden and not taken home.
These jade stones, used for the flower gardens, were either Ice Type Jadeite or high Ice Type Jadeite, much larger in size compared to the Jade Tokens Ge Dongxu used for the Spirit Gathering Array. Each piece was as big as an adult’s fist, or even larger.
The Rune Arrays engraved in these jade stones were naturally not as complex as the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation. However, because they were to be set up over a huge area of the flower garden, the number of Rune Arrays needed was quite large. For this reason, the jade stones needed to be relatively large in size.
Since a huge number of Rune Arrays needed to be engraved, Ge Dongxu started in the morning and continued working until it was almost time to finish for the day.
Next was to bury these jade stones in various corners of the flower garden according to their positions, and starting it up would mean the task was complete.
After securing all nine jade stones, Ge Dongxu left the room, saw Liu Jiayao still busy, and waited until she finished work. Then they left the office together and drove straight to the eastern suburbs.
In the eastern suburbs of Linzhou City, along the Qian River, there were still hills and wastelands with only a few scattered households, showing no signs of development.
Since the east is associated with wood and water nurtures wood, when Ge Dongxu initially helped look for land to plant flowers, he saw that this area in the east suburbs along the river was undeveloped and on sale at a very low price. He immediately suggested that Liu Jiayao purchase nearly four hundred acres of land, including a small hill, from the government of Bindong District for twenty million yuan.
Now, barely half a year later, that small hill and the land at its foot had already turned into a sea of flowers. Not only that, when Ge Dongxu arrived at this land, he also saw an unfinished villa on the hill.
"Hmm, building a villa here is not a bad idea," Ge Dongxu said, his eyes slightly lighting up at the sight.
"Yes, with the mountains and water, and surrounded by flowers if we were to live here, just thinking about it feels incredibly beautiful," Liu Jiayao said dreamily.
"You saying that reminds me. Once I have laid out the Formation here with the jade, and further arrange it in the future, this place will become a Feng Shui treasure in Linzhou City. Living here, saying it would definitely make one wealthy and rich might be an exaggeration, but extending life is certainly possible. If we only use it to grow flowers, it would be somewhat wasteful. Not to mention my layout is priceless, just the jade stones I’ve used are worth millions," Ge Dongxu said, looking past the sea of flowers to the surroundings, pensively.
