Chapter 708: 583 Big shots meeting, slapping faces in waves [1 more update]_2
The young man bowed his head, his golden hair clinging wetly to his face.
A hundred years had passed.
He never imagined he would see her again.
“Your medicine,” Ying Zijin tossed a box over, “I’ve really cleaned out Norton’s reserves for this.”
Although Norton had accidentally stumbled into a new place, he hadn’t taken all the alchemical herbs with him.
These alchemical herbs were too precious and of high quality; the students in Norton University’s Alchemy Department couldn’t use them, nor did they have the ability to.
The last time she contacted Norton, Ying Zijin also specifically asked for an alchemical prescription from him.
After all, she hadn’t studied alchemy much, and in terms of alchemy, Norton was certainly stronger.
With that alchemical prescription, she had the vice chancellor send over the remaining alchemical materials from Norton, and only then could she produce the medicine that could repair Xize’s body.
“Tsk,” Xize took the box, “He’s rarely so generous, it’s still your influence that works, boss.”
Just in time, when his body had fully recovered, he would be able to see the light of day again.
The Lorentz family’s true rise to fortune was indeed thanks to Ying Zijin.
Back in the day, when Ying Zijin went on an adventure, she also brought along a very young Xize.
The destination was the legendary lost continent of Atlantis.
Legend had it that Atlantis was an ancient land with highly developed civilization.
The earliest record of it appeared in the book “Dialogues,” claiming it was destroyed by an unprecedented great flood around 10,000 B.C.
But under the guidance of Ying Zijin, they managed to find Atlantis, and it was from there that they brought back gold.
Since then, the position of the Lorentz family as the number one family had been unshakable.
It was not until Xize was assassinated and died that the Lorentz family faded into the background.
When he awoke once more, the Lorentz family rapidly rose again with absolute speed.
“Boss, when shall we go to Atlantis again?” Xize stroked his chin, “Money is something you can never have too much of, right?”
He saw on the NOK forum that quite a few people were still planning expeditions to find gold.
Ying Zijin shook her head slightly, “Atlantis has completely disappeared; there’s no way to go.”
“Yes, vanished from the earth. If we had been any later getting out last time, we all would’ve died.”
Xize reflected for a moment.
He remembered that when they had gone there, Atlantis was just a ruin deep in the Atlantic, nothing like the splendor described in the books.
Completely collapsed, teetering on the brink of destruction.
Indeed about to be destroyed.
Xize regretted, “Well, if it hadn’t been impossible to carry more at that time, I could have taken it all home.”
He wanted his castle also to be made of gold, blinding everyone with its brilliance.
Xize took the medicine on the side.
Ying Zijin sat on the velvet sofa and answered a call from Fu Yunshen.
“How did you sleep last night?”
“Did you dream about anything?”
Ying Zijin thought about it for a moment, “I didn’t dream about you.”
Fu Yunshen arched an eyebrow, “Hm? Yaoyao, you don’t love me anymore.”
“That’s not true.” Ying Zijin yawned but wasn’t dismissive, quite serious actually, “Without your pillow this time, I didn’t sleep too well. When are you bringing my pig over?”
Xize, who heard everything clearly on the side, “…????”
“The latest by Thursday night,” Fu Yunshen smiled, “I also need to accompany you to the opening ceremony. Don’t worry, to avoid hitting the hot search, I’ll use face-changing.”
Ying Zijin nodded, “Mm.”
She ended the call, turned her head, and saw a dumbfounded youngster staring straight at her.
After a long while, Xize managed to say, “Boss, you’re such a hypocrite.”
The same question, but the answers varied too greatly.
He ruffled his hair, “Boss, can you calculate my romantic luck for me?”
“Sure.” Ying Zijin spread out the Tarot Cards, “Pick a card.”
Her Divine Calculation abilities had not yet recovered.
But matters like romantic luck could easily be calculated with Tarot Cards.
Xize quickly chose his cards.
“You—” After looking at the cards, Ying Zijin paused slightly before speaking, “Give up.”
“For the next ten years, you probably won’t have a girlfriend.”
Xize was genuinely shocked, “Ten, ten years?”
Ever since he had awoken, he had been cooped up in this castle for over a hundred years.
If it weren’t for Norton using alchemy to push the limits of his physique and also freezing his looks in time, he indeed would be an old man by now.
Xize couldn’t take it anymore.
