Chapter 495: Keep it down, I'm watching TV [Third Update]
Ling City Botanical Garden, that's the official name.
The speed of the botanical garden's construction was astonishing. Initially, many people thought that its quality must be subpar, but as more and more visitors started exploring the garden, to their surprise, they found its environment to be incredibly impressive.
The air was fresh, and the entire botanical garden had an indescribable atmosphere that invigorated the spirit.
The botanical garden offered free fruit every day, which was initially overlooked. But once someone tried the fruit and raved about how delicious it was, the garden's reputation naturally skyrocketed.
Some people initially thought that the botanical garden was engaging in marketing tricks, but with the fruit given away for free and no admission fee, what was there to market?
The botanical garden could accommodate up to thirty thousand people at a time. From just a few visitors on the first day, within a little over half a month, it was nearly overflowing with visitors daily.
Li Xiaoyao returned to Ling City and glanced at the botanical garden from the outside. The place was bustling with people and had a great atmosphere.
After returning home, he found the apartment still empty. Li Xiaoyao leaned on the sofa by himself and watched TV.
Before coming back, he had phoned the girls. Learning about his return, they all hurried back home, but they probably wouldn't arrive until evening.
Xiaoqing now goes to school every few days. She spends most of her time following the girls around, and Li Xiaoyao is too lazy to interfere, as his intention was simply to provide her a place to pass the time.
Suddenly, there was the noise of the door opening from outside. Li Xiaoyao looked over in surprise.
The door opened, and a graceful figure entered the room. Li Xiaoyao focused his eyes and saw it was Ye Qinglian.
His consciousness expanded, instantly encompassing the entire condominium. Under Li Xiaoyao's perception, there was only Ye Qinglian, with no sign of the other girls.
"Why are you back already?" Li Xiaoyao asked her.
She was supposed to come back tonight according to the phone call, so why had Ye Qinglian come back early?
"Ah!" Ye Qinglian was startled by the sound and stepped back rapidly until she was leaning against the door. Upon seeing it was Li Xiaoyao, she breathed a sigh of relief, patting her fluctuating chest as she said, "Why did you do that? You scared me."
"Such a timid heart and yet you're a cop." Li Xiaoyao laughed, stood up, and approached, saying, "Weren't you supposed to arrive this evening?"
Ye Qinglian kicked off her high heels and pressed her bare back against the door, twisting her body into a heart-stopping alluring curve.
Li Xiaoyao walked over, reached around her from behind, and embraced her.
"Not here..." Ye Qinglian glanced around, worried about being seen.
Li Xiaoyao scooped her up in his arms and headed for the bedroom.
...
The girls hadn't seen Li Xiaoyao for quite some time. They originally had an event planned for the afternoon, but in order to get back earlier, they delegated the task to others so they could leave.
By four-thirty in the afternoon, all the girls had rushed back.
As Ye Qinglian was getting dressed, she said, "I bought the apartment upstairs. Are you coming over tonight?"
"Upstairs?" Li Xiaoyao was surprised and asked, "You bought one so close?"
Ye Qinglian arched her Xiubrow and replied, "Each of us bought an apartment, all on the same floor. Tiantian's is next door, Xiaoyue's is across."
Li Xiaoyao was taken aback, the girls each bought an apartment? And all in the same building? What was happening?
"I'm heading back first. I'll come down later," Ye Qinglian said as she finished dressing, then added before leaving, "Don't tell them I came back early."
After Ye Qinglian left, it was about half an hour before the girls came back.
The chattering of the girls woke Li Xiaoyao from his cultivation. Barely opening his eyes, he saw Zhang Meng pounce on him, collapsing into his embrace.
"Xiaoyao, brother, I missed you so much." Zhang Meng pouted her lips. These days, the girls had been busy traveling all over the country for charity work. Although exhausting, it made them happy. Their only regret was not having Li Xiaoyao by their side.
Indeed, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Being together all the time might lead to Li Xiaoyao growing weary. But like now, meeting after some time apart made the pent-up emotions burst forth instantly, bringing back the feeling of being head over heels in love.
In the evening, Tang Tiantian cooked dinner, with Zhang Meng and Zhu Xiaoyue assisting her on the sidelines. Ye Qinglian also came back downstairs to join in the cooking.
Unfortunately, Zhu Xiaoyue was not a good cook and was quickly ousted from the kitchen.
"I bought the apartment across from us," Zhu Xiaoyue whispered to him, leaning close.
Li Xiaoyao feigned surprise, "You did?"
"Yeah." Zhu Xiaoyue gave him a provocative look and said, "Lately, my cultivation rate has been slow, so why don't you come over tonight and give me some guidance?"
Her words were quite subtle, but paired with her teasing gaze, they carried an undeniable naughty implication.
Li Xiaoyao had just been intimate with Ye Qinglian, and the flames of desire that should have subsided were suddenly rekindled.
"Sure, but cultivation is exhausting. Make sure you're prepared," Li Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Zhu Xiaoyue snorted, gave him a look, and was about to tease him when Xiaoqing, who was watching TV nearby, suddenly turned her head to look at them.
"Keep it down, I'm watching TV here," Xiaoqing said with a frown, clearly annoyed.
Er...
The two were momentarily embarrassed, not knowing what to say. Being caught flirting, and by Xiaoqing no less, was sort of...
"Cough cough, carry on watching, we're discussing important matters," Li Xiaoyao coughed twice, putting on a righteous face and pretending, "Anything new happening recently?"
Zhu Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, "As a matter of fact, something did happen."
"Oh? Tell me more."
Ling City recently built a botanical garden, right on the ruins of the antique street. Did you know?
"I know, what about it?"
"That botanical garden must have been constructed by some expert. I can feel that the spiritual energy inside is extremely rich. If I could cultivate there, my cultivation level would surely improve rapidly."
Li Xiaoyao smiled, about to surprise her when Zhu Xiaoyue's expression suddenly became serious, "But such an abundance of spiritual energy has also attracted quite a bit of trouble."
