After starting cultivating, Michelle was fairly surprised by the speed at which her body was able to pull in spirit energy. It was definitely because of the deficiency within her dantian; otherwise, it would have been much slower.
If normally the spirit energy flowed into her body like the stream from a tap, then at the moment, it was like a river flooding her veins.
It didn't take long, only about half a day, for the suction to slow down. The deficiency was mostly gone, and the speed went down a notch.
Michelle cultivated for another half a day, but the result was basically insignificant compared to the first half of the day.
In the evening, she got up and looked around. The gaping emptiness of the city was creeping her out.
So she decided to go check a place she knew: the Red Velvet House.
When she arrived there, the emptiness and silence were as deafening as everywhere else. The city had turned into a ghost town within the blink of an eye. Michelle couldn't understand it.
