Maddie looked in the direction of Zhang Lisheng's finger and saw a dense forest with fallen leaves standing by the sea at the end of the field far from the road.
"Why are we going there? Aren't you going back to the hospital?" The girl was stunned and asked with a blush.
"I'll show you something there. It's something very interesting that you've never seen before," The young man looked at the sea far away and replied with a strange excitement on his face.
Maddie hesitated for a moment and turned the steering wheel without saying a word. She turned the car from the road into the field and drove for a while before finally arriving at the forest after a bumpy ride.
The instant the car stopped, Zhang Lisheng pushed the door open impatiently. "Follow me," he ran into the forest.
The forest was filled with fallen leaves that were wet from the rain. His footsteps became extremely slippery as he walked in. His nose was also filled with the faint fishy smell of the decaying leaves and seawater.
Zhang Lisheng staggered after taking two steps. If he had not held onto a big tree in time, he would have fallen to the ground.
"Be careful, Lisheng. Your body's coordination is really bad. How can you even slip like this? Your physique looks very weak too. You should really go to the gym more often and train regularly. A wizard should have a good body too."
"I don't believe that pushing those big iron blocks in the gym can make a person's body healthier. Having muscles doesn't mean that you'll live longer …"
"Oh yeah, you're Chinese. You guys are more used to using Kung Fu to strengthen your body. In that case, I can introduce Dr. Song to teach you boxing. Do you remember Dr. Song? He's the doctor who treated your fracture the night we first met.
He opened a martial arts dojo half a year ago and teaches people Kung Fu two nights a week. Many people said that he's surprisingly good. "
"Is that so? Then he really has a lot of part-time jobs," Zhang Lisheng said casually.
"I heard that his son lost his job, so he has no choice but to work part-time so that his grandson can go to a good school." Maddie could not help but ask after following Zhang Lisheng for almost 100 meters into the forest, "Lisheng, where are we going exactly?"
Zhang Lisheng looked around and saw the big trees in the forest everywhere. He stopped walking all of a sudden. "Let's do it here. Don't blink, Maddie."
The young man said as he looked into the girl's eyes quietly, but he did nothing.
Maddie's feelings for Zhang Lisheng were extremely complicated. When her father was seriously ill and was about to pass away, she had no choice but to accept the young man's help twice in a situation where she was in a completely vulnerable position and set up a verbal master-servant contract.
If Zhang Lisheng had been very domineering towards her from now on, the girl might have succumbed to his strange, powerful, and terrifying strength. However, the young man did not have a ruthless character on the surface. He was more used to showing his ferocious side occasionally.
This caused Tina's fear of Zhang Lisheng to slowly fade after two to three months of contact after she became his secretary. Instead, she developed a feeling that was similar to admiration.
At this moment, looking into Zhang Lisheng's eyes, the directness unique to western girls made Maddie suddenly take off her glasses and loosen her ponytail before shaking her hair gently. "What are you trying to do, bad boy?"
As the girl spoke, a moist sea breeze suddenly rippled through the forest, and a milky white mist floated up.
"It's coming." Zhang Lisheng murmured. As the young man was speaking, a long silhouette floated in the forest in the thick mist and snuggled up to him.
Maddie was dumbstruck when she saw the animal that had rabbit eyes, cow's mouth, camel's head, tiger's paws, eagle's claws, fish scales, and a snake's body circling around Zhang Lisheng. After a long time, she finally exclaimed, "Dragon! It's a Chinese dragon! A living green divine dragon!
Oh, oh, my God! I've seen this in Chinatown before! Every Chinese New Year, there would be people dancing this mythical animal model to pray for blessings! It's … It's the Chinese's god! "
"This is not a dragon but a wyrm. Look, it has no horns and only long horse-like ears," Zhang Lisheng commanded the wyrm to stop in the air and said.
Actually, the young man only found out at this moment that the wyrm did not have horns on its head but two long ears instead.
He carefully studied the wizard gu that was as thick as a bucket and seven to eight meters long, resembling the green dragon in the New Year's painting. The eight hieroglyphs of 'riding the water to take the clouds, swimming in the air' naturally appeared in his mind. He felt extremely satisfied.
After all, wyrm dragon was also a type of real dragon in a broad sense. Dragons had a very unusual position in every Chinese's heart.
"If it wasn't for the fact that the omniscient power of the first wizard gu transformation would be my only spiritual technique in this life, I'd definitely choose you to transform and fly back to New York today," Zhang Lisheng looked at the wyrm dragon and muttered.
After Rank-6 Wizard, a wizard could transform one more wizard gu every time he made a breakthrough on the witchcraft's path. He would seize all of its ability and omniscient power to transform it into his own power. However, only the omniscient power of the first wizard gu that he transformed could become his spiritual technique and be divided to be used by all of the wizard gus that he had refined.
It was precisely for this reason that Zhang Lisheng would rather give up the young dragon that symbolized the Chinese's ancient royal power and transform the ugly Mountoad first. After all, he had tasted the improvement in his combat power brought by the wizard gu's enlargement too many times.
Not only that, once the omniscient power of the 'expand and shrink' omniscient power became a spiritual technique that could be used with negligible wizard power consumption, he might be able to travel around the world with all of his wizard gus just by preparing a backpack.
"Lisheng, what did you say?" Upon hearing the young man muttering to himself in a slightly regretful tone, Maddie asked.
"Nothing, Maddie. Do you think what I showed you is interesting?"
"It's amazing, although it's not quite what I imagined," Maddie put on her glasses again with a strange expression and tied up her hair.
Zhang Lisheng was stunned. Using his hand to touch the cold and smooth scales of the wyrm dragon, he commanded the wizard gu to dive back into the Atlantic Ocean along the clouds and said, "Let's go," before walking out of the forest with the girl.
After getting into the car, the young man suddenly said, "Maddie, you should know that I have a girlfriend now, right?"
"Yes, aren't you studying at Harvard University in Boston?" Maddie asked with a blank expression. "Are you two married?"
The legal age for marriage in New York was 14 years old. Zhang Lisheng had already far exceeded that age but in the young man's eyes, marriage was a term that was very far away from him. Dumbfounded, he said, "Of course not."
Maddie stared into the distance and stepped on the accelerator. The old Ford engine roared at the top of its lungs. In the midst of the loud noise, she whispered, "That's it then …" Then, she stopped talking and sent Zhang Lisheng back to Bellucci Hospital in silence.
In the next few days, with Charlie's persuasion, the young man was successfully transferred to the best private hospital in New York, the Apple Island Health Medical Center.
In the US, private hospitals in a broad sense accounted for 70% of the entire medical system. Most of them were small in scale and ordinary people could also go there for free treatment if they had medical insurance.
Private hospitals in a narrow sense, on the other hand, referred to medical institutions that provided excellent medical services for the rich. There were very few of such hospitals but no matter whether it was the scale or the environment, they were the best, such as the Apple Island Health Medical Center.
The people who stayed in such hospitals usually did not care about the trivial issues such as medical insurance. Usually, the only request they had was how they could cure their sick bodies without reducing their quality of life.
After staying in the Apple Island Health Medical Center, which was built in a forest that had evergreen and clear lakes and was located in the suburbs of New York, Zhang Lisheng realized that he could enjoy a ward that was like a five-star suite at the price of 600 dollars a day.
He could also eat delicious meals from all over the world at a price that was slightly more expensive than the best three-star Michelin restaurant in Manhattan.
In particular, the hospital also provided a medical team to travel with them, ensuring that the patients who were not in poor condition could walk around New York safely. At once, his gloomy mood lifted right away.
Very soon, he reached a good consensus with his new attending doctor. Almost every day, he would sit in a specially-made ambulance that was more comfortable than a limousine to travel between the hospital and the new LS Slaughterhouse.
Before he knew it, more than a month had passed. During his stay in the hospital, the young man had completed the credit exam for the first half of the eleventh grade. He had passed the exam with an average grade of 'B-'.
On the last day when he was about to complete his long medical observation and successfully leave the hospital, Zhang Lisheng came to the new LS Slaughterhouse in an ambulance. After signing the contract with several representatives of the National Farmers Union who took the initiative to come to him and pre-sign the livestock self-service slaughter contract, he drank champagne to his heart's content. Just when he was about to leave the office, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and stopped walking.
With an irrepressible look of longing on his face, the young man turned around and walked back to his office chair to sit down. "Charlie, tell Dr. Wade that I'll be discharged today."
Wade was Zhang Lisheng's attending doctor. Right now, he was in the lounge on the first floor of the office, waiting for the patient to finish his work and return to Apple Island Health Medical Center with him out of boredom.
"Yes, boss. I'll send him away right away." Charlie was stunned. He did not ask Zhang Lisheng for any reason and walked down the stairs quickly.
"Oh, Edward, Charlie's really swift and decisive."
"Mr. Lisheng, there's a famous saying on Wall Street. When you're receiving a salary of 100,000 dollars a year, your attitude towards the work that you don't understand is to ask for the reason and do it well.
When you're receiving a salary of 100,000 dollars a month, your attitude towards the work that you don't understand is to ask for the reason and do it well.
However, if you're receiving a salary of 100,000 dollars a week, your attitude towards the work that you don't understand is to do it well and don't ask for any reason … This is because the salary you're receiving is the reason for you to work, "Edward, who was by the side, said with a smile." Goodbye, boss. "
"This famous saying sounds very reasonable. Goodbye, Edward." Zhang Lisheng could not help but chuckle as he sent his chief legal officer off.
