Gu Jin and Mimi stepped through the teleportation gate and landed inside their hotel apartment in Country J. The room was quiet and looked just like they had left it months ago, though a little dusty.
As soon as they arrived, Mimi looked around quickly. She started opening doors, checking behind curtains, and even peeked under the couch.
"Where is that Long guy?" she said, clearly annoyed. "I want to show him my new power!"
Gu Jin chuckled softly and walked toward the window, stretching her arms. "Maybe he's not here anymore. We've been gone for a long time."
Mimi stopped and turned around. "You think he left?"
Gu Jin nodded while checking her watch. "It's already been five months since we entered the mountain. I'm sure the outside world has changed too. My alchemy competition is getting close."
Mimi's face fell a little, her shoulders drooping. "So… you're going to leave soon?"
