Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 684 - 683: Looking Forward to It

As the cold wind from Siberia moved southward, the weather in Jiangnan became increasingly cold.

However, Ge Dongxu's hibernation cultivation had now entered a stable phase, and no more white hairs appeared, and his skin maintained its original slightly ill-looking yellow shade, like a deciduous tree that had shed all its leaves, with none left to lose.

Seeing that Ge Dongxu had not continued to "weaken," Wu Yili and the others finally felt somewhat relieved.

"Are you really okay?" On the bay window of Liu Jiayao's apartment in Yadu Garden, Liu Jiayao snuggled against Ge Dongxu, her hand gently combing through a few strands of white hair on his head, asking with a mixture of distress and concern.

Although both were in Linzhou City, they had seldom met over the past month.

On one hand, they were each busy, especially Liu Jiayao, who, in order to get the "Flower Spirit" on the market by early next year, was working non-stop these days, sometimes having to work overtime on weekends. On the other hand, they both tacitly avoided meeting too frequently because they were both healthy in body and mind and at the prime of their youth. When a single man and woman were alone together, it was like dry tinder near an open flame. It was possible to restrain themselves once, twice, or even several times at critical moments, but both had already felt their self-control weakening and didn't dare to guarantee they could stay clear-headed in moments of passion.

So it was only today that Liu Jiayao suddenly noticed Ge Dongxu's white hairs and the deterioration of his skin, which made him seem older and sickly.

"Of course, I'm fine. Isn't it wintertime? I am trying to follow the laws of nature, and that's why I look like this, just like the plants and trees in winter," Ge Dongxu explained.

"That's good to hear. I was really startled when I first saw you looking like that. But the practice of cultivation is truly miraculous; I'm really looking forward to the day when you enter the Dragon Tiger Realm so I can begin real cultivation as well. Currently, following the method you taught me, I sit in meditation and practice Breath Control every day. Though I feel much more energetic than before and don't get as tired from work, the breath is so subtle it's almost imperceptible; I haven't felt any real changes," Liu Jiayao knew Ge Dongxu much better than Wu Yili did, so with his explanation, she was completely reassured.

"That's for sure. Cultivation is like learning a language, unless one has special talent, one needs to start from childhood to achieve success. But don't be anxious. Having grasped the changes in nature this time, I am confident that I can break through to the Qi Cultivation Twelfth Layer in the next two to three years and start my seclusion to comprehend the Dragon Tiger Realm before I graduate from college," Ge Dongxu said.

"Really? That means I only have to wait at most another three and a half years," Liu Jiayao exclaimed with delight.

"Mhm, I'm eighty to ninety percent confident!" Ge Dongxu nodded and said.

"I'm so looking forward to it!" Liu Jiayao said, snuggling against Ge Dongxu with a face full of longing.

"Hehe, looking forward to what?" Ge Dongxu couldn't help but slide his hand, which was around Liu Jiayao's slender waist, up to those two towering jade peaks.

"Don't move! I'm officially notifying you now that you're not allowed to touch me again until you graduate from college!" Liu Jiayao slapped Ge Dongxu's unruly hand and said.

"Come on, that's still three and a half years!" Ge Dongxu couldn't help but make a bitter face.

"You're already quite certain that you can break through to the Dragon Tiger Realm before graduating from college. If we can't resist, do you want to fail at the last moment and be left with regrets?" Liu Jiayao said seriously.

Ge Dongxu was at the age where cravings were strong, and it had already been difficult for him to hold back for so long before seeing Liu Jiayao. Now with her dousing his hopes with cold water, how could he be happy?

So, even though Ge Dongxu understood that Liu Jiayao was right, he still couldn't help but wear a look of disappointment, as his hands reluctantly let go of that fullness.

"Good boy! Once you reach the Dragon Tiger Realm, you can do whatever you want! But for these three and a half years, try your best to hold back," Liu Jiayao saw the disappointed look on Ge Dongxu's face, felt a twinge of heartache and reluctance, and nearly relented, but in the end, she gritted her teeth, kissed his forehead, and said.

"Hehe, you said it, once I reach the Dragon Tiger Realm, I can do whatever I want!" Ge Dongxu knew that he had to make a firm decision at this point, otherwise, if the two of them continued to play with fire, they would eventually succumb to the forbidden fruit, and by then it would be too late. So he let go of that thought completely, set aside his dejected mood, and said with a mischievous smirk.

"You naughty guy! Alright, when the time comes you can do whatever you like," Liu Jiayao said with a blushing face.

"I can hardly wait!" As Ge Dongxu looked at Liu Jiayao's blushing, alluring face, he thought about the various seductive poses his lover would have in front of him once he reached the Dragon Tiger Realm, and his heart was set ablaze.

"Stop right there! Don't you dare keep having those wild thoughts!" Liu Jiayao, sensing a distinct change in the man behind her, couldn't help but blush and immediately pinched Ge Dongxu, glaring at him.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop having wild thoughts, really. By the way, let's talk about Flower Spirit, how is it going now? These days, I keep hearing about you flying all over the country, and constantly to Hong Kong too, how's the advertising shoot going?" Ge Dongxu knew he couldn't keep fantasizing and quickly changed the subject.

"You, the big boss, finally thinking about business! I thought you'd decided to be a completely hands-off manager," Liu Jiayao replied with a snort and a white-eyed glance at Ge Dongxu. Then she got up from the bay window, her devilishly sexy waist twisting as she entered the master bedroom. Shortly afterward, she returned with a newspaper in her hand.

This was a copy of the Southern Metropolitan Daily, one of the top-circulating newspapers in Huaxia Country, distributed across regions in Hong Kong, Macau, and the coastal cities of the southern provinces.

On the newspaper, a photo of Yu Xin, who had already retired in Hong Kong, caught Ge Dongxu's eye.

Yu Xin stood amidst a sea of flowers, beautiful, elegant, noble...

Next to the photo was a paragraph that basically said that Yu Xin, who had married into a wealthy family and retired from the entertainment industry for many years, would make an exception to endorse a cosmetics brand.

The newspaper did not reveal the specific name of the cosmetics brand but displayed a large question mark image, leaving readers with endless speculation and curiosity.

"The advertisement has already been filmed, and the effect is very good. This is part of the early buildup. When people's curiosity is sufficiently piqued, we'll start placing ads on various TV stations early next year, and the products will also debut in some high-end stores during this time," Liu Jiayao said.

"That was quick, the advertisement has already been shot?" Ge Dongxu couldn't help being surprised.

"Of course, Yu Xin is my close girlfriend, and she always takes my matters to heart, ready at a moment's notice. For this advertisement, she has put in a lot of thought and effort," Liu Jiayao said.

"Naturally, President Liu has considerable influence. Do you have the ad here? If so, play it for me," Ge Dongxu said with a smile as he gave Liu Jiayao a flattering pat, then asked.
