”This problem is related to many principles. Firstly, do you understand Herb's Law?”

”No,” Kirsten looked lost.

”Then let us begin with Herb's Law …” Ye Chong did not look impatient. He was a picture of patience and serenity.

For the past few days, Kristen became absolutely convinced of Ye Chong's abilities. She felt grateful for taking that bold step in asking this young man to be her teacher.

Kirsten had asked about everything she did not understand in the past few days. In fact, they were now still discussing only her first question. She did not imagine that there was no much knowledge involved in just a simple question.

It was on the fourth day that she finally figured out her first question. However, in these four days, Kirsten felt that she was getting more than she hoped for.

There was something she could not understand, however. How did her teacher come to be so knowledgeable at such a young age? Whenever they talked, she felt a deep respect for him. All this knowledge was so mysterious and interesting. It was a fully structured and developed field of knowledge, built upon layers and layers of understanding and discovery.

”Let's stop for today. We're going out to buy something,” Ye Chong said plainly.

Kirsten looked up in surprise, ”We're buying something?” In the past few days, his teacher had never left his house except to impart his knowledge to her. As long as she did not ask him questions, the man would stay inside his house with the door shut.

”I need samples of common raw materials. Please give me a list of them,” Ye Chong said to Kirsten.

”What do you need them for?” Kirsten thought it was a very strange request. As a weaponsmith, she had to understand the properties of basic materials at the beginning of her career. In fact, while there were many materials that were suitable to make weapons, only a few of them were common.

If they wanted samples of all the materials, it would cost quite a sum, and she did not see how it was necessary.

”They're useful.” Ye Chong's reply did not convince Kristen, but she also knew that if Ye Chong did not feel like explaining to her, no amount of asking was going to get her anywhere.

”Boy, I have to warn you, this is going to cost you at least a million ao. Think it through,” Kristen advised despite herself.

”I see, that's not a problem.”

…

After so many days of staying in her tiny house, eating simple rations, Kristen felt wonderful as they finally went outside.

”Say, boy, I didn't get your name yet,” Kristen took a side glance at Ye Chong.

”Ye Chong,” the man himself replied, his eyes looking straight ahead. It had been too long since he used his real name. All this while, he had been going under fake names. For some reason, Ye Chong felt bitter at the thought, but he quickly composed himself.

”Ye Chong? That's not a bad name,” Kristen said, but still teased him a bit, ”But it sounds too ordinary.”

Ye Chong ignored her.

Kristen was like an eye magnet on the streets. Her clothes were revealing, and her body curved enticingly at the people around her. She carried herself with passion and allure; her red lips moved seductively.

She was tall, almost as all as Ye Chong.

Unlike Kristen, Ye Chong looked like an ordinary dude. He looked ordinary, wore simply, and perhaps only the sharpest eyes could see the confident ease and calmness in his eyes.

Many of the onlookers looked at her sympathetically, and this made Kristen even more pleased. She turned back at Ye Chong but found that he was not looking at her. This angered her.

”Boy, you have a woman?” Kristen suddenly thought of the question and asked him.

Ye Chong considered it for a moment before replying, ”I guess so.” An image of a woman in white training garb came to mind.

Kristen was instantly hooked on the topic. She continued with excitement, ”Wow and wow, didn't think you have it in you. Your skinny ass got you a woman? But I gotta say, you're being too irresponsible, what do you mean by 'I guess so'? You either have one, or you don't, you don't 'guess' okay? What a loser, no wonder I don't fancy you.”

Ye Chong darted a glance at Kristen, thinking about how she get along swimmingly with Shang.

Kristen glared at Ye Chong, her arms akimbo, ”What're you staring at, am I wrong? I hate men who're careless like you!” Her furious expression made her look even more stunning. Some of the onlookers around them wished they could interfere and lend her a helping hand.

Ye Chong remained stony and expressionless, so Kristen lost interest in the subject. Suddenly, she thought of something else. She approached Ye Chong and whispered in his ear, ”Honestly though, what's it like?” She asked and wiggled her eyebrows meaningfully.

”It was good,” Ye Chong replied without thinking. The memories he had of ”tasting” Rui Bing were carved deep into his mind.

”Hahahaha!” Kristen gave up her ladylike image and laughed loudly, doubling over with one hand on her stomach. She did not realize that Ye Chong was not talking about what she meant.

Ye Chong did not feel embarrassed. He only found it strange - was it really that funny? Why could he not appreciate the joke?

Ye Chong watched Kristen calmly, waiting for her to finish laughing.

Thus, a strange scene presented itself on the streets. A woman in revealing overalls was laughing beside herself, while a man stood in front her emotionlessly, watching her.

Everyone who walked pass them stared in bafflement.

Fortunately, no one interfered to ”help” Kristen. Most of the people here knew her. She was beautiful, true, but she was also bad tempered and an odd character. Moreover, she was a Level 4 shooter. It would make anyone think twice before getting involved with the beautiful lady.

Kristen finally stopped laughing.
