Olivia jumped through the window, took a plate of melon seeds from inside, and watched the two men run all over the valley as she munched on the snack.
"Wow. What a nice view. It turns out that I looked so elegant every time Gerald chased me?" She mused.
Indeed, Xavier did not look hassled while being chased around by Gerald. Instead, he looked elegant as if he wasn't being chased but was actually fooling with Gerald, who pursued him relentlessly.
Olivia felt that Xavier was messing around with Gerald.
Yet, Xavier tried his best to hide his intention well so that Gerald wouldn't know what was on his mind.
Fortunately, Gerald's stamina wasn't that good, so after a brief chase, he panted and shouted, wanting the pursuit to end.
Xavier stopped cooperatively and heard Gerald shouting angrily, "Young man, where are your martial ethics? How can you bully an aged man like me?"
Innocence filled Xavier's face. "No. I don't dare to bully you, master!"
"I'm not your master!" Gerald retorted frustratedly, "So you want to be my apprentice's lover? Heh! I'm hungry. Buy me over by cooking good food for me first!"
Olivia was a slacker and had rarely cooked.
Sometimes, when famished, she would rather eat bread than cook.
In her words, cooking was too much trouble, and it was not worth spending so much time satiating one's hunger.
But then, every time Gerald made delicious food, Olivia would definitely eat it more happily than anyone else.
With that character of hers, if Xavier didn't know how to cook, then Olivia would have to eat junk food daily.
Of course, Xavier didn't know what Gerald was thinking. He just looked at the sky and smiled faintly. "What do you want to eat, master?"
"Soy-sauce-flavored pig's trotters, braised lion's head, spicy shrimps, boiled beef, spicy crayfish..." Gerald listed a few dishes. Some of them were his favorites, but most were Olivia's favorites.
Xavier mused, "He mentioned so many dishes. Is he sure that I can find all these ingredients needed here?"
Xavier didn't know whether to laugh or cry and looked at Olivia for help.
Olivia pointed to the tiny house and said, "Just make do with whatever you can find in the kitchen. You don't have to listen to him."
Gerald immediately grumbled, "You brat! Why are you siding with him even before you marry him?"
Olivia turned her head innocently, glanced at Gerald, and shrugged. "Master, that's where you're mistaken. We're married."
Gerald was shocked.
"What?!" He ran to Olivia and shouted agitatedly, "Married? You, you, you..."
Olivia twitched the corner of her mouth, running away quickly. "I'm going to take Diana for a walk. You must be exhausted after running for a long time. Take a rest now!"
"Y-You brat! Do you want me to die of anger now so that you can inherit the Medicine Valley?"
Gerald's yelling continued for a long time without stopping.
Olivia sighed inwardly, "I must go through this every time I return. This old man must be so bored being here alone that he has gone crazy."
With that thought in mind, Olivia wondered if she should find a companion for Diana.
Then, get Diana to give birth to puppies so Gerald could care for them.
An hour later, Xavier was done preparing a table full of aromatic and delicious-looking dishes.
Gerald looked stern while blowing air from his nostrils. "Young people nowadays like to be fancy and have so many tricks up their sleeves, but does that mean these dishes will taste good?"
After saying that, he picked up his cutlery mockingly and reviewed each dish.
