Chapter 47: Chapter 45 Can you not take a bath with soap?_1

Since when has finding a simple metaphor to explain something counted as gentleness? He clearly thought that a normal explanation would be too troublesome...

Nevertheless, Zheng Yichen didn’t refuse the "gentleman card" Katrina gave him. In modern society, "good person cards" and "gentleman cards" weren’t very useful, but in this era without the internet and somewhat behind in time, these cards were quite powerful and great for racking up favorability points.

Zheng Yichen had quite a few movies saved on his phone, but most of them were action and sci-fi flicks, with some thrillers, horror, and comedies too. As for romance... none.

Although there were none, Katrina was still deeply captivated. After watching a horror movie about zombies, the sky had completely darkened. The girl, who was sitting closer and closer to Zheng Yichen, looked at the darkening sky with a nervous expression, "If you’re bitten by those walking corpses, will you really become one of them? This is different from what I know."

"It’s just a dramatized effect. In reality... you might get infected too," Zheng Yichen glanced at the time on his phone. Why did he end up watching several movies when he had nothing to do? Hadn’t he planned to go monster hunting and gear up... Well, he had to find the exact location of the Headless Knight before he could take action.

No rush.

Zheng Yichen pondered for a moment about what would happen if someone were bitten by a walking corpse in this world. It probably wouldn’t turn a person into a zombie instantly. At most, the person who wasn’t killed by the bite would die from a severe infection at the wound, and then maybe after decomposing for some time, they could become a new walking corpse or zombie.

He couldn’t be sure if other worlds had zombies.

"Chang Qing, can you take me home... I’m a bit scared."

Scared for a journey that’s not even a kilometer? The sun hasn’t even completely set yet.

"Let’s go." Zheng Yichen grabbed his backpack. He needed to find a place to stay anyway. The mayor’s house? Considering the enthusiasm exhibited by the mayor’s wife earlier, forget it; better look for some other place.

Katrina’s home was closer than Zheng Yichen expected, still not even a kilometer away.

"If you don’t have a place to stay, you can live at my house. We have many empty rooms," she said.

"Thank you so much for the offer." Zheng Yichen had no reason to refuse, mainly because finding another place would be troublesome, and he also didn’t have any money.

He had some coins, but the locals might not want them. He had some spices, which could be of some value, but probably not as expensive as he thought. He did have some sugar.

He gave Katrina a piece of chocolate.

"A Hunter-Demon, huh? Our family certainly welcomes a Hunter-Demon. The presence of one at future banquets will surely make them more interesting," said a well-dressed middle-aged man who agreed to his daughter’s request. "But you shouldn’t get too close to outsiders."

As for Zheng Yichen’s identity as a Hunter-Demon, Fantaso didn’t have much doubt, mainly because Zheng Yichen carried a weapon that looked like a fire gun, and also he was strong enough. If a thin and weak person claimed to be a Hunter-Demon, unless they demonstrated their actual strength, no one would easily believe it.

Several murders had already occurred in the small town, and now a strong Hunter-Demon moving into their house was a good thing. If this Hunter-Demon could conclusively resolve the town’s murder cases, then later on, he wouldn’t mind paying a sum of money as the mayor requested.

"This is your room." Having received her father’s consent, Katrina immediately came to Zheng Yichen’s side, and brought him to the prepared room. The entire room was not particularly luxurious, far less opulent than Zheng Yichen’s home in Hazy City.

However, when making the comparison, one must also consider the era. Compared to the homes of other residents in the town, this room was already quite nice—at least the bedding was clean enough, and the windows were intact and did not let in drafts.

"Then I won’t stand on ceremony." Zheng Yichen directly placed his backpack on the bed and, under Katrina’s curious gaze, took out quite a few items from it. The first thing he did was to start charging his phone with a power bank.

He didn’t open the box containing the laptop, mainly because there was no internet here, so there wasn’t really a place to use the laptop. That device was only twelve inches, as small as possible for portability, and its keyboard was also not good for use—it wasn’t even convenient for playing games.

"I’ll step out for a moment." Katrina thought of something and said to Zheng Yichen, leaving in somewhat of a hurry. On her way back, she encountered a middle-aged beautiful woman and quickly stopped: "Mother..."

"Katrina, your father has told you, don’t get too close to strangers."

"I, I just wanted to help a bit." Facing the middle-aged woman’s gaze, Katrina looked down. The woman in front of her was not her birth mother, but her stepmother.

"I will tell your father about this, and you can explain it to him afterward." The middle-aged woman left these words behind and departed directly. Katrina hesitated for an instant before continuing towards the room where Zheng Yichen was.

At the door, she knocked.

"The door isn’t locked."

"I’ve brought thread and needle." Katrina, seeing Zheng Yichen clad in a tank top, shifted her gaze away shyly, but couldn’t help wanting to sneak a few more glances.

"Thanks for that." Zheng Yichen really wanted to say that his protective suit, once damaged, wouldn’t be much use repaired with thread and needle. To repair it well, even with primitive methods, one would need to find some tough animal hide or similar material and sew it over the damaged parts.

Just stitching it up would only make it look superficially intact, but he had no reason to refuse now, did he?

"Is there a place to bathe here? I’ve been on the road for a long time and would like to take a bath." If there wasn’t, he was prepared to head out in the middle of the night to a nearby river to bathe, otherwise, he wouldn’t live up to the soap he carried while traveling.

"There is. I’ll take you there. Do you need a change of clothes? I..." Seeing the change of clothes Zheng Yichen took out from his backpack, she swallowed back her words. She wanted to see Zheng Yichen in their local clothing.

The modern clothes Zheng Yichen wore were very different from the local English style attire. Although when he wore them it didn’t seem inappropriate, it still felt somewhat out of place here.

But since Zheng Yichen had already taken out his spare clothes, she felt it wasn’t appropriate to say more. Her house had a bathroom, and as a modern person, she couldn’t say it was great to use, but after taking a bath, Zheng Yichen felt refreshed.

Returning to his own room, Katrina was still there. Boys could shower very quickly—wet their hair, scrub off the grime, lather up with soap, rinse clean, and that’s it. It didn’t even need half an hour unless they watched videos while bathing.

Looking at Zheng Yichen whose hair was still damp and carrying the ’post-shower male’ buff, Katrina quickly stood up and hurriedly left: "I’ve finished sewing the clothes, see you tomorrow."
