Chen Yang woke up with a start, shouting and sitting bolt upright in bed. His heart was pounding, and the excruciating pain and the shadow of death still lingered in his mind.
Li Su'er was still in the micro-realm, but Chen Yang's commotion was too great, and she sensed it in the micro-realm, so she took the initiative to withdraw.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Li Su'er asked anxiously. Chen Yang was still panting heavily. She had never seen Chen Yang like this before and was a little frightened.
Upon seeing Li Su'er, Chen Yang finally came to his senses and realized that his body in the micro-world must have already died.
However, as a realm lord, his death and resurrection cycle is not as long as others; three is enough, and he does not need to consume any quotas.
After calming down, he smiled at Li Su'er and said, "I've already died once."
Li Su'er paused, then laughed and scolded, "Who laughs when someone's dead? You're such a person."
She hugged Chen Yang tightly and whispered, "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing, just dying once. It saves me the trouble of traveling back."
"I wouldn't do that in the microcosm if you could be resurrected, but you absolutely can't do it in reality. Don't let what happened in Africa recently happen again."
They had been back from Africa for a while, and for some time afterward, Chen Yang devoted himself to accompanying Li Su'er. Although he was constantly on the move in the virtual world, in reality he accompanied Li Su'er on a trip, showing her all the beautiful scenery of Africa and even taking a trip to the Sahara, the world's largest desert, before finally returning from Africa.
Chen Yang hadn't had time to tell everyone about his arrival in the volcanic region, so the others didn't know that the southern end of the Micro Realm was a volcano, and a scene like hell.
Li Su'er went into the Micro Realm to let everyone know she was safe, then came out to keep Chen Yang company. Chen Yang was also unable to enter the Micro Realm at the moment.
Although it was late at night, the two still went out and drove to West Lake for a drive.
The night breeze was very cool. After parking the car by West Lake, the two of them randomly found a roadside barbecue stall that was still open and sat down.
Although it's a barbecue stall, it takes some skill to run one on the shore of West Lake; the hygiene is quite good.
“Alien Yang, I won’t enter the micro-realm to keep you company these next few days,” Li Su’er said.
Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary. I need to sleep anyway, so you might as well go into the micro-world. However, you don't have to be so punctual. I reckon it will be difficult for me to fall asleep in the next few hours."
"What does it feel like to die?" Li Su'er asked.
"It's terrifying, I advise you not to try it."
“I’m not stupid. You can enter the micro-world in three years. It takes us a month. That’s so painful. Didn’t you see the month Li Sen died? He was wailing and complaining so much.”
Chen Yang recalled that the month of Li Sen's death was truly agonizing for everyone at the Micro Realm Inn. They would come to the Micro Realm to complain all the time, and would often ask for hugs and comfort.
It was awkward for girls to hug him, and even more awkward for boys to hug him, so in the end, they brought in Qi and Linglong, their ultimate weapons. The two of them didn't mind hugging Li Sen.
"It's a pity about my sword and throwing knives. I protected them with my own body before I died, but I'm still a little worried," Chen Yang said.
Li Su'er said disdainfully, "You miser, still thinking about things even after someone's dead, you old codger Chen."
Grand Chen?
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment before he understood what Li Su'er meant. Li Su'er had given herself countless nicknames, and they all sounded quite natural, which led to many people in the realm calling her by those nicknames.
Alien Yang is the most frequently called name, followed by God of Wealth Yang, and occasionally Perverted Chen.
Li Su'er happily ate her lamb skewers, while Chen Yang ate less than she did.
"We haven't had enough barbecue in the Microverse yet," Chen Yang said with a laugh.
"It's different. Eating at a barbecue stall at night is about nostalgia, you know?" Li Su'er snorted.
The owner, who was grilling the food, laughed and said, "This girl is great. Just for what you said, I'll give you a 20% discount."
"Boss, we're selling barbecue, so we need to be generous. How about a 50% discount?" Li Su'er said, blinking.
The shop owner hesitated for a moment, but still said generously, "50% off it is!"
"Boss, you're so handsome! The award for the most handsome boss in West Lake will be yours sooner or later," Li Su'er said.
Chen Yang smiled as he looked at Li Su'er. This girl could be so cheerful wherever she went. She was clearly outgoing and uninhibited, yet she was exceptionally reliable in her work. Sometimes she was so well-behaved that it was impossible not to be with her. Being with her was never boring.
"Alien Yang, although I'm not as rich as you, I can still afford to treat you to barbecue at half price. Today, I'll treat you to barbecue."
"Wow, so grand! Are you celebrating my death anniversary?"
Li Su'er scratched her head, looking quite troubled; this seemed rather unlucky.
"This is your birthday, a new life, do you understand? You've been reborn from the ashes, and from now on you're Phoenix Yang." Li Su'er finally came up with a reason and slapped Chen Yang's thigh.
Chen Yang, who gained two nicknames in one night, did not feel like he had been reborn from the ashes. However, this death experience was indeed very special and could be considered one of the rarest experiences in his life. It was not that he stepped into the gates of hell with one foot, but that he went in completely and was pulled out. This kind of experience is something that normal people will never have in their entire lives.
But thinking about it carefully, apart from the sword being left behind in the volcano and not knowing if it still exists, he really didn't lose anything. You know, it would take him at least seven years to cross the rainforest, the Loess Plateau, the Indian Mountains, and the Chenghu Lake from the volcano. This time he can be resurrected in three days, so it's not a loss.
Visiting the micro-world daily, and occasionally not visiting to relax, is a great idea.
After finishing their barbecue and saying goodbye to the owner, they strolled around the West Lake.
“The air is much better in the Microverse. This West Lake is not as beautiful as Chenghu Lake at all,” Li Su’er said.
Her point is valid. If, in ancient times, both light and heavy makeup could rival the beauty of West Lake, then its scenery would undoubtedly be breathtaking. However, excessive tourism development has caused it to lose its beauty that could rival West Lake.
"You made a very obvious implication when you named it Qichenghu. You even used my surname directly," Chen Yang said.
Li Su'er wasn't shy at all; instead, she proudly raised her head and said, "So what? In the end, I still managed to win you over. I made a huge profit, okay?"
"Your reasoning is so insightful, I'm speechless," Chen Yang said.
Li Su'er chuckled, then looked at the moon reflected on the lake and said, "Alien Yang, if you take me floating on West Lake, I'll give you a kiss."
"Just one bite?"
"Yes, just one bite, deal?"
"make a deal."
Chen Yang smiled, then glanced around, picked up Li Su'er and jumped into the lake, stepping onto the lotus leaves. Li Su'er felt the wind blowing from Chen Yang's body, which made her excitedly want to cry out.

Secondly, when Jiang Yining got up early, she saw an interesting news item on her phone.
The headline reads, "A couple jumped into West Lake last night, but were discovered by patrol officers and quickly fled ashore. What's the story behind this?"
