No Substantial Progress

Pat. Pat.

Venera felt two gentle taps on her head. She suddenly had the feeling of being patted twice by a fever-reducing patch.

Speaking of a fever-reducing patch, she really likes how the cool and comfortable gel sheets would take the heat off her hot, feverish forehead. However, its cooling effect would be quickly reduced in just a few minutes. At that time, she would quickly take it off and refuse to put it back on her head because of how hot it felt on her hand after a little while of cooling. Not to mention that once she peeled it off her head, it would no longer stay sticky.

"I feel fine," the little girl assured the pink-haired man. "But, Brother Alex, did I really fall into the Lake of Death? Now that I think about it, how was I able to pass through the barrier surrounding the lake?"

Alex blinked.

"Yes, you did fall in, but you were also quickly transported out by the one inside the lake," the pink-haired man said.
