After a brief moment of silence in the workshop, William's mind becomes clear from dizzies. He looks around, seeing himself currently in the pile of the craters of unfinished products. His expression becomes dulled. He realized the gaps between him and Rosa is getting bigger and bigger. When will he able to wed her? When will he able to become her shoulder that she can relly on?
Seeing William's complexion is not good, Rosa's heartbeat and mind become a mess. As she is the one who made him become like this, it is all her fault, and guilty.
"Why did I make it difficult for him? When we are already consummated, though it is not by our willingness. It is not his mistake in the first place, he has saved me from the death gate. I have also saved him, so we are equal. Why do I feel like something is missing between us? Why don't I open up my heart a little for him?" Rosa thought to herself.

"There is a Wolf Mountain in the border of Light Wind Empire and Fire Empire. A merchant in the journey from the imperial city of Light Wind Empire to the imperial city of The Fire Empire, The Fire city. The only passage between the two Empires is to cross the long-range Wolf Mountain. You have to hire adventurers caravan if you want to pass this mountain as it unsafe, and has many strong monsters that eat human."
"Ah! mom, how can there be a monster that eats humans?" Little Rosa covers her eyes with both hands as she asked her mother.
"There is. But you don't have to afraid, mom is here to protect you. Do you want to listen to the rest of the story, my little darling?" She pets Rosa's head and said in a soft voice.
"Yes, yes, with mom here, I am not afraid of it at all." Little Rosa tried her best to show her mom that she is not afraid of that monster who eats humans at all.
"Good kid. So, mom is going to continue the rest of the story." She kissed her forehead before continue to tell her the story of a man meeting and rescuing a woman in her distress of a wolf pack pursuit.
"That day ..." Little Rosa is already attached to the story that she didn't notice that her mom's eyes become moist.
"..."
"Mom, when will I meet someone who loves me as papa love you? Why did papa seem a bit afraid of you? Mom, when will I have a little brother? Mom, when ..." Little Rosa asked her mother many questions when she was young after being told a folk tale story by her mother many times again and again.
At the end of the story, her mother told her that when the time has arrived, fate will bring her to meet her fateful man. But there is a premise that she has become strong, that she can protect those who she wanted to protect. There is also a requirement that her fateful one must be passed the test that her mom will tell in the future.
-----------
"I finally understand. Back then, why did mom force me to train so hard since young? So, when you love someone, you want to protect that person. Only become strong, that no one can take away your love."
"But mom, do you know that your child is facing a very big problem that even grandpa can not solve? Mom, if you are here, what advise will you tell me? Mom and Papa don't worry. I will protect both of you in the future, it is not long. Just wait a bit more in there, I will make our business prosper and redeem you two back. Our family reunion will happen again." Since she does not know that she can continue to cultivate in the future or not. Why not create a business empire where everyone has to respect her, it is also a form of strength, right?
She finally remembered why did she come here. The supplies in stock that they need to create lamps, and batteries are almost out, and the suppliers also cannot provide them on time. They said that their stock of goods is also run out. But, what can these goods use besides creating lamps, and batteries? It is almost useless besides creating some ornament to decorate the house. As for the batteries part, it is entirely useless. But, how can it run out of stock? When there is basically no other usage for it, besides using to burn for the blacksmith, if not William comes up with the usage of it for the battery.

"White drake, how can you know about Rosa elements?
What happens to her body with my virgin seed?
Why did it change her body element?
You said it is worth celebrating, but from what Rosa told me. We can only possess only one elemental to cultivate.
When did it become a person who can have so many elements at once?
And from that tone of yours, I seemed to possess more than one, too.
How can you know it? When I myself haven't reached that stage yet.
...
" William no longer thinking anything else other than asking White drake non-stop.
"Stop, stop your questions at once. I lose, I lose to you. I will answer it, okay." White drake eyes almost become white, too. Why did the system choose this boy as it master? He also thought that he is going to nag non-stop, on how stingy his boss about his point spending. Yet, the one who wants to runaways is not this petty boss, but it is itself instead.
"What do you think? Am I just a joking existence in here? I can assess someone's body element when you have come into contact with them, but normally I don't do it. As I am lazy to do so.
Yes, it is good to have more than an element. There are pros and cons, but the pros are better.
The human practitioner can have more than one element, but at the same time, he or she will need more resources than the one who possesses only one element to breakthrough to a new realm.
At the same level, the one who possesses more than one element will have the upper hand in combat while the one who possesses only one element can only runaways.
All in all, it is good.
Who told her that there is only one element that a human body can possess when reaching the Elemental body refiner stage?" I want to slap that man to death. Hmm, if it is not that man who told Rosa this information. How come this petty boss nagged at it again.
"So, what are her elements then?" William is incredibly happy for Rosa to possess more than one element. He starts to smile silly.
Rosa, who is looking at that smiling face, feels chill all over her body.
Wait, wait, if her strength is stronger than one elemental refiner, then won't it be a nightmare for him. His smile face becomes stiff.
Seeing his silly appearance, Rosa giggles as she is trying to hold back her laugh.
