Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

```

That was the project Gu Fangxia was in charge of!

After more than half a month of round-the-clock construction, a giant fissure had been forcibly carved out of the unending mountain range.

At night, the sound of the machinery began to reach the village, but no one raised any objections.

In fact, they even longed for the sound of the machinery to be louder, as it would mean the project was nearing completion, and the village was about to have its own road!

Time hurried by, and another ten days passed. Then one day, a thunderous boom that was deafening rang out.

It was the work of the professional demolition team blowing up a huge rock that stood next to Osmanthus Village.

After the blast, led by Li Zhi, many of the villagers set off firecrackers in the center of the village.

The removal of that rock signified that the mountain had been moved aside, and the road was open!

Just as everyone hoped, Xia Liu stood before the wide-open mountain pass, sighing, "We've finally done it!"

"This wouldn't have happened without you, the local tycoon." Beside him, Gu Fangxia watched with a faint smile and slight dark circles under her eyes.

"Hehe, if it weren't for Sister Gu, this road would have taken much longer to complete, so I represent Osmanthus Village in thanking Sister Gu!"

"Enough with the smooth talk. Seriously though, what do you think of the project? If you're not satisfied, we can keep digging a bit more while the machinery is still here." Gu Fangxia was very serious when it came to official business.

In fact, she wasn't very satisfied with this project, as it didn't turn out quite like the original plan.

The original intention was to open a road consistent with the surface level of Osmanthus Village through the mountains, but now the road was elevated above the village with slopes on both sides.

The main reason was that the mountain was entirely made up of rocks, requiring daily blasting to proceed with the work.

"No need, having this height is perfect. Standing at a higher elevation allows for a more beautiful view." Xia Liu was very pleased; he never intended to level the mountain in the first place.

Now, with the top being over a hundred meters higher than the village and at a good distance, one could gaze upon even more countryside and forests from up here.

"Sister Gu, later tell the guys to clean up tomorrow and then head to Longteng Hotel for the gathering."

"Longteng Hotel, Fang Fei, that beauty?"

"Uh, yeah, that beauty." Xia Liu hesitated for a moment, then broke into a joyful smile.

These days, he hadn't seen Fang Fei and wondered how the girl was doing.

"Alright, I'll thank Boss Xia on their behalf, I'm off to let them know." After speaking, Gu Fangxia left.

Xia Liu also returned to the village. Originally, Li Zhi had planned to host a big feast tonight or the next day.

Hearing Xia Liu mention going to a big county hotel, everyone was excited.

These days they had all been working, and when idle, they would chat and joke around. Trips to the town or county were rare, and having such an opportunity, who wouldn't be happy.

"Uncle Li, tell everyone to catch more oysters later today; we are not working tomorrow as we'll be going to the gathering."

"Hehe, I already thought as much, I'll go notify them right now."

After sorting out the oysters in the afternoon, Zhang Qing and Gu Fangxia took Xia Liu with them, saying they wanted to buy clothes in the city for the hotel gathering the next day. They definitely couldn't be casual about it.

If it had been before, Zhang Qing might not have cared about dressing up for such an occasion, but now things were different. To stand out in a crowd and give Xia Liu more face, she couldn't afford to dress too plainly.

Xia Liu agreed without a second thought—one woman was the cause of his dreams and distractions, the other woman nearly was; how could he refuse.

Xia Liu was no stranger to Binlai City; over the past month, Liu Buyi often invited him over for chess, drinks, and chats about traditional Chinese medicine.

Xia Liu drove the two women to a large shopping mall specializing in branded clothing. The women were clearly unfamiliar with these brands, but when they saw the price tags on the clothes, they almost fainted.

A pretty-looking dress could cost more than ten thousand yuan.

It wasn't that the two women didn't have the money; it was just that they couldn't accept paying more than ten thousand yuan for a single piece of clothing in their hearts.

"Sister Zhang, Sister Gu, you two can pick out whatever you like with peace of mind. I'm footing the bill today," Xia Liu said with full confidence.

In the past month, although the production of Beauty Mud hadn't been very high, the sporadic sales had brought him an income of two billion yuan.

With two billion yuan on him, he could almost buy a whole mall—why worry about anything at all?

However, Xia Liu still couldn't persuade the two women, and in the end, each clung to one of his arms as they walked out of the store.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

According to the women's standards, Xia Liu took them to a cheaper clothing store on the third floor. Even though it was cheaper, ordinary clothes also cost several hundred yuan.

"Hehe, Young Sister Gu just now this guy said he's paying today; let's buy a few more outfits!"

"Of course, let's spend him into poverty!"

The two women wandered joyfully around the mall, trying on any clothes they liked.

Their figures and faces attracted many people, both men and women. After all, they stood out so much in the crowd.

But with more people around, discordant voices emerged.

"Look, those two women are quite attractive, but what are they wearing? They look like they've picked up trash."

"Exactly, they look like they're from the countryside. No way they can afford clothes from here."

Embarrassed by a few women pointing at them, Gu Fangxia and Zhang Qing felt somewhat awkward but paid them no mind.

The clothes they wore were indeed a bit old, but they were clean, and they were purchased with their own money.

"Attendant, why did you let two country bumpkins in here?" Just then, a sharp voice sounded from behind the two women.

Turning around, they saw a woman speaking with a rather large belly, seemingly a few months pregnant. Sympathetically, they saw her figure was awkwardly disproportioned.

Even with the belly accounting for some of her size, her upper half was somewhat petite, but it was a different story below the waist, which resembled a radish grown in the ground—not to mention her distorted facial features.

With sympathy in their hearts, Gu Fangxia and Zhang Qing decided not to pay attention to the woman.

However, while they wanted to walk away, the pregnant woman disagreed, shouting loudly, "Husband, I've been bullied, hurry up and throw these two out!"

"I'm on my way! Let's see who dares to bully my wife!"

The appearance of the man left Zhang Qing completely stunned—it was Zhang Kuang!

Zhang Kuang also noticed Zhang Qing and couldn't help but exclaim, "Zhang Qing, how could it be you?"

"You know each other?" Gu Fangxia and the pregnant woman asked in unison.

"Not well," Zhang Qing and Zhang Kuang said at the same time.

"Not well? You know her name and yet you say you're not close!" The woman beside Zhang Kuang grabbed his ear, becoming agitated.

"Wife, there's nothing between her and me, believe me!" Even with many people around, Zhang Kuang pleaded with a lowered voice.

"You fox, no wonder my husband has been coming home late these days, it must've been you seducing him!" Wu Lili, as she recalled Zhang Kuang's unusual behavior over the past few days and now seeing Zhang Qing, immediately let her anger out.

"Haha, what a joke. My sister Zhang is so beautiful, how could she be matched with that trash?" Unable to listen anymore, Gu Fangxia stood up for Zhang Qing, stepping in front of her as she spoke.
