“Alchemy?”

Surprise flashed across Chen Huahua’s face, which didn’t escape Chu Qing’s eyes.

“Yes, alchemy. Do you know anything about it?”

Chen Huahua seemed to have thought of something and took a long breath. She looked at Chu Qing suspiciously and said, “Do you really not know? The Tang family you just asked about is a family that specializes in refining pills.”

“I see!”

Chu Qing was enlightened. No wonder Chen Huahua looked at him strangely. However, what Chen Huahua didn’t know was that Chu Qing didn’t know much about this world.

“I want to know more about alchemy.”

Chen Huahua’s expression was a little complicated. She thought for a moment and asked another question. “What kind of pill refinement do you want to know?”

“Could it be that there are several types of alchemy?”

This time, Chu Qing was surprised.

“That’s right. There’s one type of pill refinement in the ordinary world and the other type… I don’t know much about it.”

Chu Qing’s eyelids twitched. Although Chen Huahua didn’t say it explicitly, he understood what she meant.

In other words, there were two groups of alchemists in this world. One of them might be the people from the ancient martial arts families. These people could use their outstanding internal strength to refine pills. As for the other group, were they…

The same as him?

“That’s true. You were recommended by Sis Ye, so your background probably isn’t that simple. You probably know a little about the world of ‘those people’. I can’t get the alchemy information about their world, but I can tell you about the ancient martial arts families, though I don’t have the prescription.”

Chen Huahua sighed and said slowly.

Chu Qing nodded. He could see the difficulty in Chen Huahua’s eyes, and this was probably the biggest concession she could make.

“I’ll have to trouble you with it then.”

“It’s no trouble. I’m just doing things for money…”

Chen Huahua rubbed her eyes, looking very tired.

“If you really want to repay me, you can be my boyfriend.”

As she spoke, she revealed a cute smile. Chu Qing smiled bitterly.

The girls in this world are really incomparably valiant…

“Is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, let’s go out for supper. I’m a little hungry.”

As Chen Huahua spoke, she finished the juice in front of her in one gulp. Then, she propped her chin on her hand and lay there looking at him.

“Also, I want some information about secret transactions, such as… medicinal herbs and so on.”

“Oh, that’s it… I’ll send you the information together. I’ll give this to you for free.”

“Two pieces of information—a total of 100,000 yuan. But since you’re so handsome, I’ll give you a 20% discount. Let’s go. I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Chen Huahua was straightforward and looked like she was really hungry. She grabbed Chu Qing’s hand and left the bar.

Chu Qing was a little helpless, but he was also a little hungry, so he decided to have supper together.

As for the 20% discount, it was probably because of Ye Chenxi.

As for where they would be having a meal, Chu Qing did not expect the two of them to come to a remote street. On this street, there was the smell of roasted meat everywhere, as well as chaotic shouting.

This food stall!

Chu Qing’s eyes lit up. He often came out to eat and drink with his classmates in the past. He didn’t expect this cute girl in front of him to have such a hobby.

“Don’t you like it?”

“How is that possible?”

Chu Qing shook his head and suddenly felt that this girl was a little cute. He gently held the back of her neck and walked in.

“Yo, Huahua, you’re here. What do you want to eat today?”

Just as the two of them sat down, a boy with fair skin walked over to take their order.

“I’ll have 20 skewers of pig kidneys first—extra spicy! And four beers!”

The boy nodded and looked at Chu Qing. Chu Qing also ordered some food, but he had a strange feeling…

Could it be that the girls in this world also liked to eat pig kidneys?

He quietly observed his surroundings. He realized that most of the people who came for supper were girls, who were bragging and drinking beers. There were very few boys around.

Chu Qing suddenly felt a little used to this setting.

The beer was served very quickly. Chen Huahua took the beer first and in an instant, half of the beer was gone.

“Aren’t you going to drink it? It’s tasty.”

Chu Qing smiled.

Is she trying to provoke me?

“Of course, I’m drinking!”

Chu Qing also picked up a glass of beer and drank it in one gulp.

“Oh, you have some skills. Looks like you usually drink a lot?”

Chen Huahua’s interest was piqued. She looked at Chu Qing, her eyes filled with curiosity.

“I don’t drink much, but coincidentally… I won’t get drunk even if I drink a thousand glasses!”

Chu Qing smiled evilly and could not help but release his aura. He was filled with pride!

“Alright, let’s see if you’re drunk after a thousand glasses. Boss!” Chen Huahua tapped her leg and slapped the table.

“Okay! I’ll be right there!”

The boy seemed to be taking the order. When he heard Chen Huahua’s shout, he hurriedly scuttled over. It seemed that Chen Huahua was a popular customer here.

“Two more cases of beer and two bottles of white wine.”

“Right away!”

“Wait, wait!”

Chen Huahua suddenly seemed to remember something.
