21st Century Necromancer

Inside the room, Jounouchi Hiromi sat in front of the dressing table, holding a luxurious pink diamond necklace to her neck for comparison, then thought for a moment before putting it back in the jewelry box.

This was the necklace Chen Yu gave her when they got married. Since their marriage, Jounouchi Hiromi had only worn it once during their honeymoon, while they were lost in the historical remnants of 18th-century London attending Queen Mary's dinner party.

At that time, the necklace had been knocked off by Queen Mary, which angered Jounouchi Hiromi greatly.

This necklace holds special significance for Jounouchi Hiromi, particularly after it fell to the floor last time, so she only wears it on important occasions.

By all means, the Nobel Prize ceremony counts as a very important occasion, and Jounouchi Hiromi should wear this necklace, but she chose another necklace that appeared to be more elegant in style.

This was the ruby necklace that Chen Yu had previously brought back from the Garden of Osiris. Although similarly precious, it even seemed more distinguished than the wedding gift Chen Yu had given her, yet this gold-made necklace appeared much more elegant.

Noticing Jounouchi Hiromi's actions, Chen Yu walked to her side, holding her shoulders, and asked, "Honey, why aren't you wearing the necklace I gave you?"

"Today's occasion is so solemn, this necklace is a bit too luxurious." Jounouchi Hiromi shook her head, signaling Chen Yu to help her put on the ruby necklace she was holding.

As Chen Yu reached out to help Jounouchi Hiromi with the necklace, he curiously asked, "Honey, didn't you wear that one for the dinner last night? Why change it today?"

"Jewelry should never be worn the same over two days," Jounouchi Hiromi smiled, and still explained to Chen Yu, "Wearing that one last night was of course okay, it was a banquet, so being a bit lavish isn't a problem. But today is the Nobel Prize ceremony, so it ought to be more solemn, using this one won't come across as being too ostentatious."

Actually, Jounouchi Hiromi didn't voice one thought: although women tend to rely on jewelry to flaunt their identity, status, or other qualities, at today's event, jewelry to her is truly just an embellishment and decoration, because at this event nobody cares about your wealth or how distinguished your status is.

At the Nobel Prize ceremony, even the most prominent identity is destined to be merely an audience, as noble as a king is merely a presenter.

Rich and wealthy? Even the richest person in the world might not be able to obtain an invitation to the Nobel Prize ceremony.

Though one might still manage to get one if they want, how can one even compare to a Nobel Prize laureate at the ceremony?

At this awards ceremony, people only focus on what contributions and achievements you made for human civilization, not how much money you've made or what your background is.noveldrama

For those attending the Nobel Prize ceremony, a dazzling exterior cannot catch their attention; in this shrine symbolizing the zenith of human achievement in science and literature, only the greatest thoughts and minds deserve attention and respect.

Tonight, Jounouchi Hiromi is not appearing as an ordinary woman, but as a Nobel Prize laureate.

Even if she dresses simply tonight, she will inevitably be the focus, entirely without the need of jewelry for adornment.

The reason she sits here selecting necklaces is simply a necessary decoration out of courtesy.

However, it is not strictly necessary; as a Nobel Prize laureate, even being unkempt wouldn't be criticized, but rather praised for being unpretentious.

Aren't the anecdotes of those historical great scientists all about praising their devotion to science and unpretentious nature?

Once Chen Yu finished putting on her necklace, Jounouchi Hiromi stood up from her chair, turned to look at Chen Yu, adjusted his collar, smoothed every crease of his suit, and then asked him, "Darling, do I look good today?"

"Honey, you always look good!" Chen Yu gave Jounouchi Hiromi a hug, but since Little Yixi was beside them, he didn't make any overly affectionate moves.

"Sweet-talker every time!" Jounouchi Hiromi hummed at Chen Yu, yet her face bore a smile.

The couple tidied up their appearances and looked toward Little Yixi, who was having fun playing with the two little bears.

Both black and white little bears now cleanly washed, their still-soft fur sleek and glossy, Little Yixi was joyfully holding one paw of the Little Black Bear, while the Little Polar Bear was being stepped on by her.

It must be said, if these two little bears had grown to adult size, Little Yixi's current posture would surely be enough to claim the title of Earth's strongest young girl.

However, Little Yixi obviously did not appreciate being interrupted during her playtime with the little bears; as soon as Jounouchi Hiromi picked her up, she started to cry out, showing signs of wanting to cry.

Seeing this, Chen Yu took Little Yixi from Jounouchi Hiromi's arms, gently stroked her little head, and soothed her for a while, only then calming Little Yixi's mood.

They could certainly take Little Yixi to tonight's awards ceremony, but it's clear the two little bears couldn't go.

After Chen Yu calmed Little Yixi, Jounouchi Hiromi looked on slightly jealous at her husband holding their daughter, and only then did she send the two little bears into the Necromantic Space, entrusted to the Ghost Maid for care.

Then she and Chen Yu left the room together, ready to attend the banquet.

Though Chen Yu and his wife might not be the first couple to both receive a Nobel Prize, attending the Nobel Prize ceremony with a less than one-year-old baby, they were perhaps unique.

After all, most Nobel Prize winners are not very young, since scientific research is a time-consuming endeavor.

To clinch such a world-class scientific achievement crown in his early thirties, even apart from Chen Yu's Transcendent Demigod status, he remains the most resplendent being of this era.

For the vast majority of people, being in one's early thirties is still a learning phase; achieving something worthy of a Nobel Prize is akin to an Arabian fantasy.

Hence, when the couple appeared together, people waiting in the hotel lobby to head to the awards ceremony venue cast attentive glances their way, with many showing admiration and envy.

And other Nobel Prize winners in the hotel also cast kind gazes towards these young laureates, despite Chen Yu and his wife having faces of The Orient.

Responding to the gazes, Chen Yu and his wife got into the vehicle arranged by the Swedish side, and the family of three set off towards the awards ceremony venue.
