Maddie looked at the direction Zhang Lisheng's finger was pointing at and saw a dense forest of bald trees that were standing upright by the sea on the wilderness far from the highway.

"What do you want to do there? Don't you need to rush back to the hospital?" The girl froze for a moment before asking with a slightly blushed face.

"I'll show you something right there! Something that is very interesting and you've never seen before!" the young man looked at the sea and replied with a strangely excited expression.

Maddie hesitated for a moment before turning her steering wheel without a word, into the wilderness from the highway and finally came to the woods after a few minutes of bumpy driving.

When the car stopped, Zhang Lisheng pushed the car door open with haste and said "Follow me!" before running into the forest.

The forest floor was covered entirely with fallen leaves that became wet thanks to the rain. When they walked into it, their footsteps became slippery and smooth, as the smell of newly-decayed leaves and sea water rushed into their nostrils.

After taking two steps, Zhang Lisheng staggered for a moment. If it was not for the fact that he could hold onto a big tree in time, he would have long fallen on the ground with his face first.

"Be careful, Lisheng. Your body's coordination is really bad! To think that you could actually fall down like that! Your physique looks very weak too! You should go to the gym sometimes and exercise regularly! A wizard should have a good body as well!"

"I don't believe that pushing those big irons in the gym can make anyone much healthier! Having muscles doesn't mean that one can live any longer…"

"Oh, that's right! You, Chinese people, are much more accustomed to using Kung Fu to strengthen your body! In that case, I can introduce you Dr. Song to teach you some boxing. Do you still remember him? It's the doctor who treated your fracture on the night when we first met. He has opened a martial arts hall six months ago and is teaching Kung Fu twice a week. It's rumored by many people that he's unexpectedly powerful. "

"Is that so? He really has a lot of part-time jobs then," Zhang Lisheng casually remarked.

"I heard that his son is unemployed right now. For the sake of sending his grandson to a good school, he has no choice but to get another part-time job." After following Zhang Lisheng into the forest for almost 100 meters, Maddie could not help but ask, "Lisheng, where are we going actually?"

Zhang Lisheng looked around and came to a sudden halt when he saw that they were surrounded by trees that were strewed at random. "Here it is then! Don't blink, Maddie!"

As the young man spoke, he stared into the girl's eyes quietly but did not do anything.

Maddie had an extremely complicated feeling for Zhang Lisheng. When her father was seriously ill and was about to die, she was forced to accept help from the young man twice and agreed to a verbal servant contract, in a situation that was completely disadvantageous to her.

If Zhang Lisheng would always treat her in a compelling manner from now on, perhaps the girl would have to give in out of fear for his mysterious and horrifyingly powerful energy. However, the young man was not a cruel and ruthless person by nature, instead, he would just sometimes show a look of ferocity.

This made Maddie's fear of Zhang Lisheng slowly dissipate after two to three months of becoming his secretary. Instead, she started to admire and look up to him.

As he stared into Zhang Lisheng's eyes right now, the intuition of a Western girl made Maddie take off her glasses and free her hair that was tied into a ponytail. Slowly, she shook her head. "What are you thinking of, you bad boy?"

As the girl was speaking, a moist sea breeze suddenly swayed in the forest, setting off a gust of milky white fog.

"It's coming," Zhang Lisheng muttered. At the same time when the young man was speaking, a long figure was swimming in the air through the fog, before snuggling up to his side.

Dumbstruck, Maddie had a clear look of the animal that had a rabbit's eyes, a cow's mouth, a camel's head, a tiger's paws, an eagle's claws, a fish's scales and a snake's body, spiraling around Zhang Lisheng before exclaiming in surprise after a moment, "Dragon! It's the Chinese Dragon! A freaking living green divine dragon! Oh! Oh dear God! I've seen this before in Chinatown! During every Chinese New Year, the Chinese people would wave this mythical animal's model around for blessing! I-It's the deity of the Chinese people!"

"This is not a dragon but a wyrm! Look, it doesn't have horns, only long ears like horses," Zhang Lisheng commanded the wyrm to come to a stop in the air as he explained.

In fact, the young man also just found out that the wyrm actually did not have horns but had long ears instead of on its head.

As he carefully looked at the wizard gu that was as thick as a bucket and was seven to eight meters long which looked like the green dragon in the New Year's painting, fourteen words that looked like hieroglyphics that said "Skim the water and breeze through clouds, cruise the sky and caress the draft " naturally appeared in his mind. He felt extremely pleased with it.

After all, in a broad sense, the wyrmdragon was a species of the true dragon. The dragon, on the other hand, had a very unusual position in every Chinese people's heart.

"If it wasn't for the fact that the omniscient power of the first wizard gu that I choose to undergo transformation would be my only spiritual technique in my entire life, I would have chosen you to transform and then I could already soar across the clouds today while going back to New York," Zhang Lisheng looked at the wyrmdragon and muttered.

After the level of Rank-6 Wizard, every time a wizard made a breakthrough in witchcraft, he would be able to a transform into an extra wizard gu and would be able to strip its ability and omniscient power as his own. However, only the omniscient power of the first wizard gu that he transformed into could become his spiritual technique that could be split up and used by the other wizard gus that he had refined before.

It was also for this reason that Zhang Lisheng would rather give up the young dragon that represented the Chinese ancient kingship and would choose to transform into the ugly Mountoad first. After all, he had tasted the elevation of combat ability after the wizard gu turned into a giant multiple times.

Not only that, once the 'expand, shrink' omniscient power was cast, the consumption of the wizard gu would be lowered till it was basically negligible. Perhaps he would only need to carry one backpack to carry all of his wizard gus to travel the world.

"Lisheng, what did you say?" Hearing the young man talking to himself in a slightly regretful tone, Maddie asked.

"It's nothing, Tina. Do you think that the thing I showed you is interesting?"

"It's amazing! Even though it's far from what I've imagined." Maddie put on her glasses again with a weird look before tying her hair up.

Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment. He raised a hand to caress the wyrmdragon's cold and smooth scales before commanding the wizard gu to sneak back into the Atlantic Ocean along with the clouds as he said "Let's go" before walking out of the forest together with the girl.

After they got into the car, the young man suddenly said, "Maddie, you do know that I have a girlfriend already, right?"

"I know. She's studying at Harvard University in Boston, right?" Maddie asked in return with an expressionless face. "Are you two married already?"

The legal marriage age in New York State was 14 years old. Zhang Lisheng was far qualified but in the eyes of the young man, the term 'marriage' was still something far away from him. Dumbstruck, he said, "Of course not!"

Maddie stared off into the distance and increased the speed, the old Ford's engine roared itself until it became hoarse. In the midst of the loud noise, she whispered "Why don't you get married then…" before stopping again. Remaining silent for the rest of the journey, she drove Zhang Lisheng back to Bellucci Hospital.

In the next few days, relying on Charlie's pitching, the young man successfully transferred to the best private hospital in New York — the Apple Island Health Medical Center.

Generally speaking, private hospitals in the US made up 70% of the entire medical system. Most of them were small in scale and if ordinary civilians had medical insurance, they could go there for free treatment as well.

In a narrow sense, the private hospitals referred to those medical institutions that provide excellent medical services, especially for the rich. The number of such hospitals was very small but in terms of scale and environment, they were topnotch, just like the Apple Island Health Medical Center.

Usually, those who stayed in such a hospital would not care about small details like medical insurance. Their only requirement would only be how to cure their sick bodies without sacrificing their quality of life.

Staying in the Apple Island Health Medical Center that was built in the forest that was spring all year round as it was situated in the suburbs with verdant, clear lakes by the side, Zhang Lisheng found out that he could also enjoy the ward that resembled a five-star hotel's suite at the price of 600 dollars per day.

He could also eat delicious meals from all around the world at a slightly more expensive price than the best three-star Michelin restaurant in Manhattan.

Not only that, but the hospital would also provide a medical team to follow their patients around so that they could ensure that their patients with a poor physical condition could safely travel throughout New York. This would lift a depressed mood up right away.

Very soon, he reached a good consensus with his new attending doctor. He would sit in a special ambulance that was more comfortable than a limousine to travel between the hospital and the new LS Slaughterhouse.

Unwittingly, more than a month went by. During the hospitalization period, the young man completed the credit exam for the first half of his eleventh grade and passed with an average mark of 'B-'.

On the last day of his long medical observation period that would soon come to a smooth discharge, Zhang Lisheng went to the new LS Slaughterhouse in an ambulance. After he reached the office, a few National Farmers Union's representatives took the initiative to look for him to sign a livestock self-service slaughter contract in advance. After they finished signing the contract, they had a few glasses of champagne and just when he was about to leave the office, he suddenly came to a halt as his eyebrows twitched.

With a look of uncontrollable eagerness creeping up his face, the young man turned around and walked back to sit on his office chair. "Charlie, tell Doctor Wade that I'm discharging today."

Wade was Zhang Lisheng's attending doctor. Right now, he was resting in the resting room on the first floor and was waiting for his patient to finish up his work so that they could return to the Apple Island Health Medical Center together.

"Yes, boss! I'll immediately send him away." Charlie was stunned for a while. Without asking Zhang Lisheng for the reason, he quickly walked down the stairs.

"Oh, Edward! Charlie is indeed vigorous and efficient."

"Mr. Lisheng, there's a famous saying in the Wall Street that when you have an annual salary of 100,000 dollars, you'll have to ask clearly about the job that you don't understand and try your best in it. On the other hand, when you have a monthly salary of 100,000 dollars, you'll have to ask clearly about the job that you don't understand and do your best in it. However, if you have a weekly salary of 100,000 dollars, your attitude towards the job that you don't understand would change to become sparing no efforts with might and without asking for any reason, as the salary that you receive is the reason for your work." Edward who was by the side smiled and said, "I'll see you again, boss."

"This saying sounds pretty reasonable. Alright, see you, Edward." Zhang Lisheng chuckled soundlessly as he sent his chief legal officer away.
