“What do you want to tell me?” Mu Chen took Ye Shi to the secret room and asked Ye Shi.
Ye Shi looked around, making sure no one was eavesdropping, and said: “If you want to become an alchemist, do you need a special fire?”
Mu Chen nodded and said: “Yes. If there is a strange fire, it will be much easier.”
“I think I might know where you can find strange fire.” Ye Shi said.
Mu Chen’s eyes brightened: “You do? How do you know?” Special fire information can be worth at least a hundred thousand spirit stones.
Ye Shi shrugged and said: “I read about the Green Hell fire in the diary my mother left behind.”
Mu Chen’s heart was beating fast. Why the Green Hell fire? The same strange flame that Ye Yanxing found for Lan Ruofeng?
“Shi Tou, do you know a man named Ye Yanxing?” Mu Chen asked.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen suspiciously and said: “How do you know my real name?”
“Ye Yanxing is your real name? Why did you change your name to Ye Shi?” Mu Chen frowned.
Ye Shi explained: “Because I suffered from a serious illness when I was a child. One of my father’s concubines said that I needed a low name that could keep me alive because I was born a poor man. So she changed my name to Ye Shi, which means I can live as strong as a rock.”
Ye Shi looked down. He was in severe pain because he was completely poisoned. Ye Shi guessed that the villain was the concubine who changed his name. But Ye Shi didn’t say anything because even if he did, his father wouldn’t believe a word of it.
Mu Chen’s face turned pale. Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen’s face and felt worried.

“What’s wrong with you?” Ye Shi asked.
Mu Chen grabbed Ye Shi’s hand and said: “Shi Tou you need to stay away from Lan Ruofeng, as far as possible. Okay?”
Ye Shi was confused as to why Mu Chen looked scared. But he nodded and said: “Okay.”
Mu Chen immediately hugged Ye Shi tightly.
Ye Shi did not understand why Mu Chen did this and promised: “Okay, I’ll stay away from him. He seems to know how to bewitch people.”
Mu Chen clenched his fist. It wasn’t bewitching. It was called fate governed by the original story.
Ye Shi took out a diary and said: “This is what my mother left for me. It’s a map about the Green Hell fire.”
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi, and a soft light flashed in his eyes. In the original story, Ye Yanxing was a stubborn man. Once he fell in love with someone, his heart would never change. Therefore, Mu Chen had to make Ye Shi love him.
Mu Chen looked at the map and said: “Thank you.”
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen and said: “I don’t know if this map is true or not.”
“I’m quite happy that you shared it with me.” Mu Chen said with a smile.
Ye Shi’s stomach rumbled. Ye Shi blushed and looked at Mu Chen in embarrassment.
Mu Chen held Ye Shi’s hand and said: “Let’s go.”
Ye Shi followed Mu Chen out.
“Good to see you here, Shi Tou!” Mu Yuanfeng greeted Ye Shi.
Ye Shi was nervous seeing Mu Yuanfeng. He greeted back: “Good day, Uncle Mu.”
Mu Yuanfeng said to Ye Shi: “Shi Tou I’ve already told the housekeeper that, from now on, like a junior from your family, you can get 300 spirit stones for monthly pocket money.”
“That is a great honor. I’m sorry I can’t accept it.” Ye Shi was shocked. He was the son of his father’s legal wife. He should have an allowance. But he was disliked by the family. So the servants didn’t treat him well. After Ye He died, Ye Shi’s allowance was cut entirely.
“You are Mu Chen’s fiancée. According to our family rules, you have a share of the allowance. Since you two are too young, we will talk about your marriage after you are promoted to martial arts master.” Mu Yuanfeng said.
Ye Shi blushed and said: “Marriage can wait.”
Mu Yuanfeng said to Ye Shi: “Shi Tou, there is one thing you should know. Since Mu Chen didn’t behave when he was young, I was worried that he would indulge himself by having fun outside. So I made him take the Fertility Inhibitor Pill.”
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen in disbelief. The Fertility Inhibitor Pill was a special type of elixir that could restrain one’s sexual desire. But once he became a martial arts master, the effect would be nullified.
One could cultivate faster as a virgin. To prevent their children from being obsessed with lust, some large families would use this pill on their children.
Mu Chen blushed and looked at Mu Yuanfeng with grievances. “Dad, we’re going to have lunch.”
Mu Yuanfeng shrugged and said: “Okay. Go on.”
Ye Shi said: “Your father told you to take the Fertility Inhibitor Pill? Does that mean you can’t do it so far?”
Mu Chen rolled his eyes and said: “It was only temporary.” That explained why the original owner and Mu Yuanfeng were not close. Mu Yuanfeng was too ruthless.
Ye Shi opened his eyes wide and said: “If you can’t become a martial arts master in your lifetime, it means you can’t perform for the rest of your life.”
“Don’t worry. I will become a martial arts master as soon as possible.” Mu Chen said.
Ye Shi asked: “What if you can’t?”
Mu Chen’s face sank. He said: “Why can’t I?” He was not an idiot like the original owner. He was a genius in the modern world where he might win the Nobel Prize in Physics in the future.
Ye Shi shrugged and said: “Who knows?”
“Let’s go. Can we drop this?” Mu Chen said while holding Ye Shi’s hand.
Ye Shi glanced at Mu Chen from time to time, and muttered: “What a surprise!”
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said: “What are you muttering?”
Ye Shi shrugged and said: “I’m just surprised you’re still a virgin.”
Mu Chen: “…”
“The food will be cold. Let’s go.” Mu Chen dragged Ye Shi forward.
Ye Shi stumbled to follow Mu Chen.
