Chapter 219 Zhou Ze, the Rich and Powerful
Moria subconsciously probed into it with her divine power and discovered that there was actually quite a bit of Locke Divine Water inside.
Judging from the storage capacity, the original Locke Divine Water, which was at least 10 cubic meters, was worth around 10 Chaos Units, while an ordinary Immortal only had a few thousand Chaos Units, and some poor ones had less than a thousand.
What merit or ability does she possess to warrant such a sum of money from her predecessors?
"Senior, I am already extremely grateful for your saving me. I cannot accept the remaining Locke Divine Water!" Moria refused without even thinking.
Lemonto hurriedly replied, "Yes, senior, we are more than grateful that you came all this way to save Moria..."
Zhou Ze nodded slightly to himself. He didn't mean to test him; he simply didn't care about the remaining bit of Locke Divine Water.
But now it seems that someone who can become Luo's confidant is probably not a bad person either.
"There's an old saying in my hometown: 'One should not refuse a gift from an elder!'" Zhou Ze glanced at Luo, smiled slightly, and casually said, "Besides, this little bit is nothing. I've already given you the Demon Soul Grass worth hundreds of millions, so a little bit of Locke Divine Water won't make a difference."
Immediately, even Luo's expression changed drastically, his face filled with disbelief!
Worth hundreds of millions? Demon Soul Grass?
Lemonto really wanted to ask Zhou Ze if the price unit was a mixed unit.
Moria was momentarily speechless. Just who was this teacher, Luo? Or had Luo unintentionally saved her entire clan?
He was actually willing to spend hundreds of millions of his fortune for her!
Even if it were for Luo's own sake, she could accept giving up so much wealth, but why would she do it just for her?
Moria's mind was spinning and blank.
"Teacher—." Luo chuckled, but no matter how much gratitude and emotion he felt, the words he uttered seemed too light and insignificant. Any further words would be an insult to this kindness.
"Haha, after all, you're one of the two women Luo values most. Given his personality, the fact that he would beg me like that for your sake, as his teacher, I have to take it seriously, right?"
Zhou Ze looked at Moria with a half-smile, then gave Luo a meaningful look.
The two women you value most?
Moria felt a mix of shyness, joy, anger, and dissatisfaction, but ultimately, a sense of loneliness and helplessness inevitably arose within her.
Because she believed she knew very well that with Yolanda around, Lo was always wary and dared not accept her feelings.
Moreover, she had initially suspected that Luo might have some feelings for that crazy woman, but now it seems to be confirmed.
"Sigh." Luo sighed. Teacher, you've really made my life miserable—
He was now somewhat afraid to look Moria in the eye. Although she was very obedient in front of him, he had never forgotten this woman, who was always jokingly referred to as the "female tyrant."
When a woman pursues a man, it's easy to get close. After such a long pursuit, Luo developed some feelings for them, but because their personalities were too awful, and he was only focused on improving his strength, he deliberately avoided them.
Unexpectedly, the teacher directly stated this, even mentioning that one of the two women he cared about most was... "Alright, consider this my greeting gift. I'm also Luo's teacher." Zhou Ze continued, his tone deliberately warning and serious: "Don't always let romantic feelings make things difficult for Luo. With his talent, his future is promising."
Zhou Ze didn't forget to give him a helping hand, and after speaking, he looked at Luo and said, "Well, Luo, I have something to do. Now that your Moria is alright, let's have a good get-together."
"By the way, can you change your old man image? Seeing the two of you standing together makes me feel really uncomfortable. Others might not know, but..."
I thought you were father and daughter, or even grandfather and granddaughter—"
Luo was startled and quickly controlled his immortal divine power to change himself back to his youthful appearance. It has to be said that Luo was indeed quite handsome, which is why he could attract two women who were infatuated with him.
"Hmm, that looks much better. As my disciple, how could you always look like an old man about to die? —"
Zhou Ze nodded in satisfaction.
After resolving Luo's matter, Zhou Ze declined the three men's offer to entertain him and flew towards Black Dragon Star, the capital of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
The spaceship's speed made things easier, and within a few days, Zhou Ze arrived at Black Dragon Star, activated the stealth function, and hovered above Manluo Manor.
The F-class spaceship, being a mechanical race vessel, could become invisible, making it difficult even for ordinary immortals to detect it until Zhou Ze opened the hatch.
This is what caught Manluo's attention.
"Huh?" Manlu was startled at first, then saw Zhou Ze fly out from inside, and immediately smiled with some surprise:
"You're really not being polite, kid. You're really treating my house like your own home—"
"Haha, Senior Manluo, it's been a long time. I was just trying to give you a surprise."
Two hundred years have passed, and Zhou Ze has grown from a little guy who was only at the planetary level to an immortal king, but he still feels the same as before, without any other changes.
Time seemed to stand still for him.
"Long time no see?" Manlu frowned, looking speechless. "It's only been 200 years, right? It would have passed in the blink of an eye. You're just too young to have any concept of time in the universe."
"That's true, I'm not even three hundred years old yet," Zhou Ze said with a smile. "Senior Manluo, shall we invite Senior Wright over in the future, or perhaps we should go to Senior Wright's place?"
I have something I'd like you to take a look at.
"Oh?" Manluo was slightly curious, but he knew that the good stuff Zhou Ze mentioned must be extraordinary. After all, Zhou Ze was now a member of the Primordial Secret Realm, and three of his disciples were members of the Primordial Secret Realm.
Over the years, although he didn't have much information about Zhou Ze, he figured the company's higher-ups must have been paying attention to him.
"Let that old fellow come over. He's lucky you still remember him, haha!" Manlu laughed heartily. "You know, with your status and position, if you were to return from a posting, we'd all have to call you Your Highness."
"How could I forget the care you two seniors have given me? Hehe," Zhou Ze said with a sincere smile.
Needless to say, Senior Manluo gave him that treasure unintentionally. Although the "Pearl of Nirvana" caused some trouble at first, now its function is no less than his cheat code.
"It's good that you mean well, there's no need to worry too much," Manluo smiled slightly. "I've already told Wright, he'll be here soon. How have you been at headquarters these past few years?"
"Be extra careful during cultivation missions; the most dangerous areas are cultivation missions and the future extraterritorial battlefields—"
As they were talking, a figure transformed into a rainbow of light from the sky and flew over, quickly landing beside Manluo and Zhou Ze.
"Senior Wright," Zhou Ze greeted with a smile.
"Zhou Ze, I'm here now. If you don't satisfy me, I'll be angry!" Wright, who was usually stern, rarely showed a smile despite his silver face.
If the people of the Qianwu Continent saw this, they would definitely look at it differently.
"I'll definitely satisfy you!" Zhou Ze smiled and flipped his hand, revealing a completely black, cylindrical wine bottle on the table.
"This is..." Manluo and Wright both looked over; four universal languages were written on the bottle:
Five-Colored Stars
The two men's eyes widened in surprise. They were both connoisseurs of wine and naturally knew of the famous wine in question.
"Where did you get this thing?"
Manluo was incredulous. How could Zhou Ze obtain such expensive wine? Even in the virtual universe, she only dared to taste some of the cocktails, and would never dare to buy them directly.
"Five-Colored Stars!!!" Wright blinked, staring intently at the name on the bottle: "I've only ever heard of this stuff in real life, never seen it before. If this bottle is real, it's worth a million Mixed Yuan Units!!"
Zhou Ze's eyes were calm, and he said with a smile, "It's alright, I can get a 20% discount—"
Wright looked eager, but hesitated to make a move.
Manlu frowned and reminded her, "You didn't buy it with points, did you? Hmm, even your disciple has that kind of strength, so you certainly don't need to mention it, but points are very difficult to obtain before you break through to Immortality—"
Zhou Ze naturally understood what Manluo meant; she was simply worried that he would squander his points for the sake of saving face.
"Don't worry, Senior Manluo, do I look like the kind of person who acts impulsively?" Zhou Ze laughed. "The fact that I can afford to buy entertainment means I have the ability to support this expense."
Upon hearing Zhou Ze's words, Manluo immediately beamed with joy: "I know you know what's going on, but it's still unbelievable. This wine is too expensive."
Zhou Ze opened the bottle with his hand, and an indescribable aroma of wine immediately wafted out. Wright quickly used his divine power to block it, while shouting:
"How can you open a bottle of wine like that? Do you know that this tiny leak of yours could buy dozens of planets!"
Zhou Ze's face went blank: "Senior Wright, is this really necessary—"
Wright glared at him, and Zhou Ze backed down, saying, "Fine, Senior Wright, I don't understand. You do it, so you won't criticize me again."
Wright carefully held the bottle, using his divine power to completely seal the aroma of the wine, ensuring no leakage whatsoever. Even when poured into the three glasses, he used his divine power to seal the aroma as well.
"When you drink it, use your Force to seal the aroma. Don't let it leak out. This wine is so expensive, even a tiny bit of its aroma would be a luxury!" Wright swallowed hard.
"Senior Wright, isn't this a bit too much?" Zhou Ze was speechless. He thought to himself, why not just give Senior Wright a few more bottles?
"What do you know!" Wright retorted irritably. "These are five-colored stars! I'll take some back to show off later, haha!"
Manlu glared at him and said, "You old man, watch yourself, don't reveal Zhou Ze's identity!"
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who talks big." Wright nodded.
"Senior Manluo, Senior Wright, I raise a toast to you both, to thank you for your care and help back then—."
Zhou Ze stood up to show his respect, clinked glasses with the two men, and downed his drink in one gulp, which made Wright feel very sorry for him.
"Drink slowly, drink slowly, what kind of wine is this! It's such a waste—"
Zhou Zehui replied, "The taste is indeed very good!"
Wright's face was full of enjoyment: "This is what real wine is! What were we drinking before?"
Manlu completely agreed: "I feel like I'll never be able to drink any other alcohol again—"
"Haha, seniors, please drink with peace of mind. I also brought a bottle of Thunderstorm Wine as a gift for each of you. I don't know much about wine, so I don't know if you will like it?" Zhou Ze said with a smile.
Manlu and Wright, who were still enjoying the aftertaste of the wine, were suddenly taken aback.
