Genshin Impact: I, the Winter Prince, reign supreme.

These friends are almost all wealthy individuals who were eliminated from previous "Liyue Seven Stars" elections.

They bonded over their failure to win the election for the "Liyue Seven Stars" and banded together, making them a group of "potential Seven Stars".

Some of these people have monopolized mineral resources and are veritable resource tycoons.

Some monopolized agriculture and were true landowners.

Some of them monopolize the hardware, building materials, and scrap metal recycling markets, making them hidden millionaires.

Some even monopolized jewelry stores, some monopolized the printing industry, and some monopolized security escort agencies.

In short, they possessed wealth second only to the "Liyue Seven Stars".

Yelan's uncle secretly revealed the advice of their ancestor Boyang to these friends.

They couldn't sit still any longer and began depositing their assets into the Northern Bank.

These billionaires each have assets exceeding several billion, so Northern Bank received tens of billions of mora in deposits in a single day.

These people also have their own circles of friends and networks of contacts, and word spreads from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and more and more businessmen choose to deposit their money in Beiguo Bank.

As for the ordinary merchants in Liyue who had been observing the situation, they followed suit when they saw that the big merchants were depositing money.

As a result, the employees of Beiguo Bank had to work overtime all night to process their deposits.

[The Rich] Pantalone sat in his office, looking out the window at the dense crowds of people waiting to collect debts on the street. His admiration for the prince was almost ingrained in his bones.

He predicts that, at the current rate, it will take several more months for the amount of Mora circulating in the Liyue market to decrease significantly.

The reason it takes so long is mainly because Liyue has commercial trade with the other six countries, and a large amount of Mora will flow back from abroad in the short term.

In addition, as the amount of Mora circulating in Liyue decreases, a significant number of merchants will withdraw their overseas deposits and use them for the domestic market.

It will still take time for Northern Bank to absorb such a large amount of Mora.

However, judging from the situation in the past few days, with the number of depositors increasing, the real victory in the business battle is not far away.

[The Rich] Pantalone is full of expectations for the future.

The three problems he asked the prince to help him solve have all been resolved.

The first task was to help the Northern Bank attract deposits; the second was to find out about the Golden House's strategic reserve, Mora; and the third was to help him take revenge on Yelan.

When Ye Lan's family hurriedly brought all their assets to deposit the money today, he realized that the prince's little scheme must have worked.

Although he didn't know exactly how His Highness the Prince had done it, the result made him feel extremely pleased, as if every pore on his body had opened up.

Low-level revenge involves verbally abusing the enemy or physically attacking them.

The highest form of revenge is to manipulate your enemy and use their resources to achieve your own goals!

Yelan's side.

Having fulfilled her ancestor's instructions, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

At the same time, she suddenly had the idea to retire early and live her own life.

She used to travel around searching for the cause of her ancestor's death, risking her life and falling into desperate situations countless times, only to escape death again and again.

She still remembers several times when, disguised and without the Eye of God, she was almost assaulted by bad guys, and the memory still feels like a nightmare.

The search for the truth once gave her tremendous motivation and sustained her beliefs.

However, now, after the ancestor appeared to her, she suddenly lost her goal in life and the meaning and value of her existence.

It was as if the world no longer needed her.

Perhaps it's time for her to find a man to marry and settle down to be a good wife and mother.

When she told Ningguang about this idea, the latter remained silent for a long time.

Ye Lan suddenly said she wanted to get married, and Ning Guang was at a loss for how to comfort her.

For Ye Lan, getting married might not be a bad thing.

If it weren't for the greater good of Liyue, even she herself would want to find a good man to marry.

For these strong women, who says they can't balance career and family?

"Given your qualifications, it will be difficult to find someone who is a good match for you."

Finally, Ningguang said this.

"Don't try to persuade me anymore, Ningguang. My mind is made up. I'm going to embark on a new journey in my life, and marriage is a good choice."

Ningguang finally asked, "Alright, now that you've thought it through, I won't try to persuade you anymore. You have someone you like, right?"

"Ningguang, what do you think of that Prince Zhidong?"

Chapter 98 Seemingly Possible but Unattainable

“The Prince of Winter…is indeed a very charming man. He speaks eloquently and is unmatched in his knowledge. Of all the men I have met in my life, he is the only one I cannot understand or fathom.”

Ningguang pondered for a moment.

Ye Lan laughed and said, "Since you also think he's reliable, what do you think about me asking him to help introduce me to a man from the Winter Kingdom?"

Ningguang turned to look at her.

It turns out that Ye Lan's desired target was not Prince Zhi Dong.

"Why choose a man from the Kingdom of Winter? Have you taken a fancy to one of Prince Winter's executives?"

This puzzled Ningguang.

"I want to rebel against the laws of nature with the Kingdom of Zhidong. Only by marrying into Zhidong can I obtain Zhidong citizenship."

"You never do things you're not sure of. What could have prompted you to think this way? Did you uncover some secret while gathering intelligence during your last infiltration of Zhidong?"

Ye Lan replied, "If I had to pinpoint a secret, I've discovered that the Prince of Zhidong might actually be able to lead the Zhidong Kingdom to victory over Heaven's Law. I believe in his abilities and have complete faith in him."

"Ye Lan, do you know why I haven't fallen for Prince Zhi Dong?"

With a sigh, Ningguang suddenly asked.

"You can't let go of your pride."

In Ye Lan's view, Ning Guang was simply being dragged down by her identity as a member of the Tianquan Star.

"It's not that simple, sigh. The first time I met him at Qunyu Pavilion, the feeling he gave me was as if the Emperor were standing in front of me, majestic and profound, with a rich elemental power as vast as the sea, like a lurking dragon."

"From that moment on, I suddenly realized that he and the Emperor were beings we could only look up to, but never reach."

Many people, especially women, always envy Ningguang.

Because she was the only woman who had the opportunity to come into contact with the Rock King Emperor.

The Emperor, mysterious and great, is regarded as the dream lover by countless ordinary women.

But only Ningguang understood the bitterness and sorrow within.

The closer she got to the Emperor, the clearer she became about the insurmountable chasm between them.

And the prince who came to winter gave her the same feeling.

These two men are so outstanding that they seem unreal, like a dream, elusive, untouchable, and unpursuable.

As a woman herself, Ye Lan naturally understood Ning Guang's feelings at that moment.

"Actually, there's another reason why I want to marry Zhidong, but I was too embarrassed to say it just now. I want to see what kind of woman will win Prince Zhidong's favor in the future. Ningguang, you're curious too, aren't you?"

"You're being inappropriate again."

Ningguang picked up her pipe and began to puff out smoke.

But her answer was tantamount to an admission.

"Why be so serious? There are no outsiders here."

Ye Lan took her arm and said reproachfully.

Her relationship with Ningguang had long surpassed that of business partners; it was more like that of best friends.

"Ye Lan, I heard that your family received instructions from your ancestor Bo Yang to deposit all their assets in the Northern Bank. Is Senior Bo Yang really still alive?"

Ningguang remained skeptical about the matter.

Although Boyang was a renowned sorcerer five hundred years ago who fought alongside Yaksha, it is not impossible that he might possess a wisp of his consciousness.

But why did they suddenly appear during Prince Zhidong's visit?

And why was Yelan instructed to deposit money at the Northern Bank?

This matter is suspicious.

"You suspect I've been scammed?"

If anyone else were to question it, Ye Lan would simply scoff.

But Ningguang is exceptionally intelligent; even she senses something is wrong, so caution is often necessary.

However, the sound from the fortune dice and the bracelet clearly proves that our ancestor Boyang has manifested his power.

“I feel like you’ve been used by Prince Zhidong. Why don’t you try communicating with the bracelet again, and I’ll help you figure it out. If it really is Senior Boyang, you might as well listen to his thoughts on your desire to get married.”

"Okay, we'll do it your way."

Ye Lan immediately took out the jade bracelet and tried to connect and communicate.

But no matter how she tried to contact him, her ancestor did not respond.

She could only attribute it to her ancestors' poor health.

The two agreed to try again next time.

However, that night, when Ye Lan went to bed, she heard the voice of her ancestor coming from inside the bracelet again.

"I have been observing your growth over the years."

The voice of our ancestor Boyang sounded old and weary.

"Ancestor!"

Ye Lan said respectfully.

"A few years ago, you were full of ambition and chose to cooperate with Ningguang. She provided resources, and you gathered intelligence for her. The two of you hit it off immediately. At that time, you also had a group of comrades who had risked their lives for you."
