Hao Ren returned to the VIP room where his group was staying, the Data Terminal tucked under his arm. Lily and Vivian were resting on the bench in the living room, while Izax was still staring blankly out the window. The commotion of Hao Ren's return drew all three of their attention. He casually placed the Data Terminal on the table. "This place really isn't fit to live in."
Lily was sprawled on the sofa, barely alive as she stuck out her tongue and pretended to be dead. Hearing him, she muddledly raised her head and asked, "Are we changing rooms? This place is pretty nice..."
"That's not what I meant. I mean the floating islands these elves live on are completely uninhabitable." Hao Ren plopped down on the bench. "Look at this situation.

To put it optimistically, they might hold out for another three to five hundred years, but if their luck ran out, they might be finished in three to five days. We obviously can't stay here... Speaking of which, what's wrong with you?"

The girl really did look exhausted, showing clear signs of being somewhat delirious.
Vivian also looked exhausted. Obviously, she had just returned from helping with disaster relief in the city, but she looked much better than the Husky spirit and could still discuss
