Huang Yi left Tiantai City and returned to the Guild’s base.
After being away for over half a month, the base had beco much quieter. Most of the Life Class Players had been sent to Dragon City or the coastal territories by Qin Shiyu, turning this place into a truly desolate, uninhabited area. The tree houses were mostly abandoned, with hardly anyone living in them.
"Brother, you’re back!" Just then, a figure appeared next to the Teleportation Circle. It was none other than Xiao Chunzi, who had just logged on. Her eyes lit up with joy when she saw Huang Yi, and she called out happily.
However, her eyes soon turned red, and she pouted slightly as she threw herself into Huang Yi’s arms, reaching out her little hand to stubbornly tug at his waist. It seed she was also a bit upset, her mood changing faster than flipping through a book.
Huang Yi grimaced, enduring the pain, and patted her little head, saying, "Are you trying to murder ?"
"I wish I could kill you!" Xiao Chunzi pouted, her cute face frosty as she looked up at Huang Yi and demanded, "Tell , do you still have in your heart?!"
"What’s gotten into you now?" Huang Yi took Xiao Chunzi’s little hand, unclenching her fingers, and the pain at his waist finally relieved.
Xiao Chunzi lifted her head and just stared at Huang Yi with her big eyes, saying nothing.
Ti passed by minute by minute, and Huang Yi suddenly felt sowhat embarrassed under her gaze. He lowered his head, looking like a child who had done sothing wrong.
A tall man was now bowing his head, standing in front of a little loli as if admitting his wrongs, making the scene sowhat comical.
Gradually, Xiao Chunzi’s beautiful big eyes misted over. With a teary gaze, she looked at Huang Yi and spoke in a sorrowful tone, "Brother, do you know? Every ti I log in these days, only I am in the base. Sister Xiao Yu is also busy and doesn’t play with . I am all alone in this forest."
"Haven’t I co back now?" Huang Yi’s heart softened. He crouched down and stroked Xiao Chunzi’s pigtails.
"But I have to go to school soon, and I can only co back during the winter holidays." Xiao Chunzi said sadly as two big tears finally rolled down.
Huang Yi pursed his lips, wiped her tears, and said, "There will be many classmates at school, so you won’t be alone."
Xiao Chunzi suddenly reached out her little hand, wrapped it around Huang Yi’s neck, and rubbed against it, coquettishly saying, "Brother, I have to log off in an hour, and then I must go to school. I won’t be able to log in for a while. Can you fulfill a small wish for ?"
"What wish?" Huang Yi asked seriously.
"It was a long, long ti ago when I was still a little cat, and you were also a little cat. Our cat mother was still here, and you used to carry through the forest all the ti. I really want to play that ga now!" Xiao Chunzi said, her eyes brimming with tears as she stared at Huang Yi.
"Sure!" Huang Yi nodded and imdiately transford into an Agile Cat Form.
Xiao Chunzi also shook her body and turned into a pretty Little White Cat, with fur as if it had been washed, soft and smooth.
Then, Huang Yi opened his cat mouth and picked up the Little White Cat, beginning to leap and bound from one tree branch to another throughout the forest.
Countless leaves flitted past their eyes, and the dappled sunlight fell through them, mixing with the green leaves to blur into fleeting glimrs that caught Huang Yi’s eyes.
Half a year ago, when he had just entered The Second World, he was wandering through that forest with the cat mother, and Little White Cat had just been born. Back then, it was common for him to carry the Little White Cat through the forest... Those tis seed to have passed countless years ago, surfacing from the deepest recesses of his mory. It was the purest part of his life when he first entered The Second World. After experiencing various events, he had never again lived such a simple life.
"ow~" The Little White Cat also waved her little paws, calling out cheerfully. Her big eyes sparkled, as if she too had returned to those tis.
An hour passed, and Huang Yi stopped at a cliff. Below was the bottomless Heavenly Pit, with an open view ahead surrounded by mountains.
The two transford back to human form. Xiao Chunzi looked at Huang Yi, biting her little lips and saying reluctantly, "Brother, I have to go to school now. See you during the winter holidays!"
"Okay!" Huang Yi nodded and smiled as he watched her. Xiao Chunzi’s delicate little face was right before his eyes, her long eyelashes, small nose, and pink lips were like those of a doll; she would definitely be a stunningly beautiful woman when she grew up.
"Brother, I’ll grow up soon!" Xiao Chunzi said aningfully, wrapping her arms around Huang Yi’s neck and kissed his cheek before promptly logging off, vanishing from sight.
Silence imdiately enveloped Huang Yi’s surroundings. Now, he alone occupied the entire forest, and for the coming months, he would no longer hear Xiao Chunzi’s noisy voice. When they t again, it would already be the snowy winter.
"When you grow up, I’ll have grown old..." Huang Yi murmured, turning his head to gaze at the mountains beyond the cliff, his figure slightly desolate.
At that mont, the sunlight, fragnted by the leaves, softly fell upon him. The forest was peaceful, the cicadas had long since faded into silence, and a flock of wild geese flew in formation across the sky, growing more distant by the mont.
Autumn was coming.
...
Nightfall had arrived.
Huang Yi left Starting Point and teleported to Dragon City, patiently waiting for Dugu Lengcang.
At that mont, Dragon City was bustling with life, with crowds moving like a flowing river, and various faces flowing past one’s eyes. It had beco a place where many players gathered, so for sightseeing, so for treasure hunting in the Desolate Sands, and so for doing business, forming a big society with people coming and going.
"I’m here," before long, Dugu Lengcang arrived, yawning and appearing lethargic in front of him. He had also ford a guild and was usually busy, coming over now was a rare mont he could steal from his packed schedule.
"Co on, let’s team up for the Tower of Pantheons!" Huang Yi said, forming a team with Dugu Lengcang.
The two teleported into the Tower of Pantheons, and Huang Yi’s incarnation joined them.
"Instakill, you can use this thing," as soon as they entered the secret realm, Dugu Lengcang took out that strange tal Plate and handed it to Huang Yi, "This tal Plate is quite handy. I’ve used it to create explosions, and it never fails. Although I’m not clear on what the lifeform inside the tal Plate is, just the power of the explosion alone is enough to satisfy ."
Huang Yi nodded, accepting the tal Plate, and said, "Alright, then let do the experint."
Having said that, Huang Yi took out a tal box from his storage ring, placed it on the ground, and opened the lid.
Inside the box was a pulsating heart, covered in Ice Crystals, each beat releasing a puff of white cold air, causing the temperature around to plumt dramatically, instantly reaching winter conditions.
Then, Huang Yi picked up the odd tal Plate that was emitting flas and placed it on top of the heart that was emitting cold air!
"Hiss!" At that mont, a puff of white smoke instantly rose up. As Extre Heat Power t Extre Cold Power, it was like putting a piece of at in a hot pan! The two elents of hot and cold imdiately ca into contact!
Huang Yi’s gaze was fixed intently on them, waiting for subsequent changes, and even Dugu Lengcang’s lazy eyes showed a trace of brilliance.
However, after a long ti, the tal Plate and the heart still maintained this state, with no explosions or other phenona occurring.
"This heart is quite extraordinary. If I used Ice Skills on this tal Plate, it probably would have exploded by now. Now that the temperature of the heart has dropped to a certain degree, the phenonon is not even obvious," Dugu Lengcang remarked as he watched the smoke, pondering.
"Let take a look!" Huang Yi said, imdiately controlling his incarnation, and opened The Third Eye to look at the tal Plate.
His Third Eye’s vision imdiately penetrated the tal, seeing the activity inside.
He saw that inside the Heart of the Sand Thief King, so cold air was continuously being absorbed into the tal Plate, after which the liquid inside slightly jostled about as if there was so sort of magical fusion taking place between the two.
Imdiately afterward, Huang Yi finally caught sight of that long-lost creature the size of a tadpole. At that mont, it was actually absorbing the Extre Cold Power, bit by bit integrating it into its body.
Seeing this scene, Huang Yi was slightly surprised. He had not expected this creature, which should have been born from Extre Heat Power, to be absorbing Extre Cold Power. Two distinctly different powers were rging into its tiny body, making the lifeform seem even more enigmatic.
Huang Yi shared what he saw with Dugu Lengcang, who, upon hearing this, was also amazed. Regardless, this creature was definitely extraordinary.
The two continued to wait, but even after a long ti, the Heart of the Sand Thief King and the tal Plate still maintained this phenonon. The neutralization was extrely slow, and it was uncertain when it would stop.
"Instakill, why don’t you add a stronger dose? Get more hearts out, bury the tal Plate, and let the Extre Cold Power take an absolute advantage to see what changes might occur with the tal Plate," Dugu Lengcang proposed a bold suggestion at that mont.
Huang Yi thought about it and felt this thod was not bad. He took out another gold box and dumped out the Heart of the Sand Thief King on it, covering the tal Plate.
"Hiss!" This ti, the tal Plate trembled violently, the Fire Elent aura it emitted also intensified, facing off against the two hearts simultaneously, refusing to show weakness.
Huang Yi’s hands did not stop; he continued to take out boxes, pouring out heart after heart, placing them on top of the tal Plate...
Gradually, over twenty hearts piled up on the ground, forming a small mountain that completely covered the tal Plate. The temperature in the air had plumted to an extre. (To be continued.
