Chapter 136
d provided that one was on Trash Planet.
Bald would be considered the beauty then…
But Ye Chong had never heard Shang complimenting a bald female!
Then how the heck do I even judge one’s beauty? Ye Chong was utterly dumbfounded. It was challenging indeed!
"Ahh…" A mechanical moan from Shang beeped by, "Oh my Fal… Oh heavens, how in the world? How in the world there would lie such an absolute beauty at such a shabby place? Ye, I’m done! Ye, I. Am. Done. For!"
"Shang, what’s wrong?" Ye Chong was startled.
"Umm, Ye." His voice was shaking, "This is what we called ‘being shot by the arrow’. And I’m sure I had been shot."
"Arrow?" Ye Chong panicked as he looked around quickly, but there was nothing… although Ye Chong still kept his guard high, "Could it be a new form of archery? Of using a projectile of invisibility? Wave-based arrows? No! It is a ray arrow?" Ye Chong got into his stance right away, awaiting the moment Shang confirmed the wounding strike. Then he would deploy the Guardian and blast off in the speed of light instantly.
… …
It was a moment of silence between both of them.
The fingers stopped twirling. "So, what do you think?" Ye Chong quickly spoke, in his usual monotonous tone.
Lunatic Guan looked quite surprised. Apparently she did not expect Ye Chong to grasp the timing so accurately.
The cheeky smile on her face vaporized somehow. Her expression was stern out of sudden, which Ye Chong saw it the first time ever on her. Her bottomless pupils rolled over Ye Chong and rolled back to the center, as she looked into the cup, her words fell slow, "If it’s an order by your master, if you really wanted to come here and learn alchemy, I wouldn’t mind…" Her voice trailed off.
"Mhm. Conditions? What about the conditions?" asked Ye Chong with his still face.
"Well, conditions, there's none…" Lunatic Guan’s eyes looked greatly impressed, "If you want to learn alchemy from me, there are indeed a few rules and regulations from me. If you could not obey them, I won’t be teaching you at all, even if your master came and tried convincing me," the last sentence went grim.
"Ok," Ye Chong was not horrified. "State it," his tone fell flatly.
"First, what your master intended was probably for you to master the formula of a few kinds of strengthening liquid. But, since you came for me, I’ll decide what I want to teach and you can leave only after I admitted your expertise in this! You cannot simply leave on a whim anytime before this. Of course, you are allowed to get back to your master occasionally," she spoke serenely.
"No problem," Ye Chong replied after a moment of pondering,
"Second, you are my student and you will do as what I have instructed, no doubt, no bargain and most importantly, no slacking!"
"Okay."
"Third, whatever place I forbid you to go and whatever item I disallow you to touch, do not, ever, go, and do not, ever, touch it! If I caught you, you better be able to face the consequences." Though the regulation came nonchalantly, Ye Chong could smell the danger between the words for some reason.
"I am not a curious person to begin with," Ye Chong was confident of this side of his personality.
"Think it through," stated Lunatic Guan.
"Done it," replied Ye Chong. "I agree."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
"Hm, alright. For starters, clean this room, organize everything." The first instruction was tossed over Ye Chong as Lunatic Guan burped, turned and walked away in grace.
"Ye."
"Regarding those words…"
"Ye, I’m taking every word that I’ve said!" No cure for regrets, Shang… Horrified Shang upon seeing the piling junks in the room. His mechanical heart ran colder than ever.
