At this moment, Huang Yi's real body was in the treehouse at his stronghold.
Sunlight slanted through the gaps in the leaves, cicadas sang atop the trees, and the air was filled with tranquility, with not a soul around.
Xiao Chunzi wasn't online. With school approaching, she had deactivated her Cold Storage mode, returned to her daily life, and wouldn't spend 24 hours a day in The Second World.
As for Qin Shiyu, she was busy dealing with matters of the Hero Guild, sometimes not even visible for an entire day.
Huang Yi felt as though he'd returned to the solitary life he lived a few months back. Without Xiao Chunzi's chatter, he suddenly found the world much quieter and somewhat unaccustomedly lonesome.
Huang Yi left the treehouse and crossed the suspended bridge in the forest to reach the Teleportation Circle.
