The portal didn't just pop up out of nowhere.
It materialized slowly.
But for it to complete itself, it needed time and qi, spending both of them at the same time.
The process itself was easy for Noa.
Nothing new happened.
Just the usual store shaking, the air changing directions, and a pretty sight he loved to watch.
Yun Qiqi shared the same feeling.
She jumped back and forth, excited as she was about to meet Mia again.
Every morning, she waited for the evening to come. Her wish to meet her big sister rose each day, causing her heart to beat with passion.
"Are you ready?" Noa asked her, offering her a hand.
The girl blinked at him for a second. Then she took his hand and smiled, pointing for Puff and Umbu to follow as well.
The latter climbed up on Noa's shoulder. He took a comfortable seat and glanced at the still half-finished portal, waiting for its completion.
The former neared the girl.
Though the slime came to like Umbu, he didn't really want to travel with him.
