Chapter 1633 Where are you? Where is home?
The moment the video call connected, it was as if a pot had exploded on the other end of the screen.
"Hey! Mingchuan?!"
Dong Chuyan's stunningly beautiful face initially showed disbelief, then her lips gently curved upwards, her eyes rippled with surprise, and her voice was soft with a slight sob.
"You are finally back……"
She seemed to want to say more, but all her words turned into a misty haze in her eyes as she gazed at him tenderly and intently.
However, before she could finish speaking, another bright but angry face squeezed in from the side.
"Well done, Mingchuan!"
Ran Qianqian's voice was bright and crisp, like a little chili pepper. She glared at the screen with wide eyes and launched into a tirade, "So you finally showed up?! We thought you were having too much fun in that crappy spirit realm and had completely forgotten about us sisters! We haven't heard from you for so long! Do you know how worried Xiaoxi and we were?!"
She was cursing fiercely, but her slightly reddened eyes and the way she stared intently at the screen, as if afraid he would disappear again, completely betrayed her true feelings.
Mingchuan looked at the two beauties on the screen, who were very different in style but equally stunning. One was gentle as water, and the other was passionate as fire. His heart was filled with warmth and apology.
He touched his nose, chuckled, and quickly reassured them, "My bad, my bad. Things were a bit tricky in the Spirit Realm, and the flow of time was different, so I was delayed for a long time this time. See, I just slipped away and immediately rushed back to see you all, didn't I?"
Leng Xi leaned lazily against Ming Chuan's chest, her cheeks still flushed. Looking at her two anxious sisters on the screen, she smiled faintly and spoke at the right moment.
His voice was still slightly hoarse from the incident: "He just got here."
Upon hearing this, the two people on the other side of the screen fell silent for a moment.
Dong Chuyan blinked her beautiful, watery eyes, her gaze shifting gently between Mingchuan and Leng Xi. Seeing Leng Xi's languid expression, she seemed to understand something. Her fair cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and she lowered her eyes shyly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. She whispered, "Xiao Xi... it's good that you... are back."
His tone carried genuine joy, but also a hint of barely perceptible envy.
Ran Qianqian immediately exploded in anger. Pointing at the screen, she was furious: "You, Mingchuan! You went straight to Xiaoxi as soon as you came down! Do you think we're just decorations?! That's too much! You only care about Xiaoxi, and you don't have a place for the two of us at all?!"
She became increasingly angry as she spoke, her eyes reddening as if she had suffered a tremendous injustice.
"Oh dear, Qianqian, Chuyan, don't misunderstand!"
Mingchuan quickly protested his innocence, pulling Leng Xi closer to him, and said with a forced smile to the screen, "I was just thinking of giving you all a surprise, to meet you one by one! Xiao Xi just happens to be at the company, so it's close by. I promise! I'll make it up to you all in the next few days, absolutely fair and impartial!"
He emphasized the word "compensation," making it sound very suggestive, and wore a roguish grin.
Dong Chuyan blushed at his words and couldn't lift her head, but a hint of sweetness was revealed in her slightly pursed lips.
Ran Qianqian was not so easily fooled. She snorted and remained aggressive.
"Hmph! That sounds nice! Who knows if you're just making empty promises again! Let me tell you, Mingchuan, if you don't make us sisters happy this time, see how I deal with you!"
Although he was still stubborn, his tone had softened considerably, and his eyes regained their sparkle.
Leng Xi looked at the two bickering on the screen, shook her head helplessly, and said softly to Ming Chuan, "Alright, stop joking around. Let's talk about serious matters."
Mingchuan nodded, his joking expression fading as he looked at the two women he loved on the screen, his tone becoming serious and gentle.
"Xixi, Chuyan, and Xiaoxi. I'm back this time because I have something important to tell you."
I'm preparing to officially establish myself in the Spirit Realm and set up my own sect. I've returned this time to pick you all up, along with Ah Xiong and Master, so we can go up together."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over their faces, which had instantly filled with surprise and anticipation, before continuing, "From now on, we won't have to be separated anymore. Would you... like to come with me to the Spirit Realm?"
A brief silence fell on the other end of the screen.
Dong Chuyan raised her watery eyes, which were full of tenderness and determination, and nodded gently.
"Home is wherever you are. Of course I'll follow you."
Ran Qianqian also sniffed, suppressing her surging emotions, and still with her signature little bit of willfulness, she said firmly.
"Nonsense! Of course we have to go! How can we feel at ease leaving you alone over there? Xiao Xi, don't you think so?"
Seeing the two beauties on the screen respond without hesitation, Mingchuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
It was as if the hardships of the past few days and the dangers of the spirit realm had been completely soothed at this moment.
He tightened his arms around Leng Xi and said softly to the screen:
"Okay, it's settled then. From now on, we'll have our own home in the Spirit Realm."
His gaze gently swept over the three stunning faces. "Qianqian, Chuyan, if it's convenient for you now, pack your things and head straight to Xiaoxi's villa later. We'll talk when we get home."
"That's more like it!" Ran Qianqian immediately responded, her anger finally dissipating and replaced by excitement and anticipation. "I just finished work, I'll go back and get some clothes! You guys wait, I'll be the fastest!"
Her energetic and whirlwind manner made it seem as if she was about to leap off the screen at any moment.
Dong Chuyan nodded gently, her eyes filled with a faint smile and anticipation: "Well, I'm free right now. I... I'll head over now."
Her voice remained soft, but the joy of their impending reunion was palpable.
"Okay, then Xiaoxi and I will wait for you." Mingchuan smiled, and added, "Be careful on the road."
"I know! Stop nagging!" Ran Qianqian complained, but her lips curled up in a wide smile. "Wait and see who gets there first, me or Chu Yan! Xiao Xi, keep an eye on him, don't let him slip away again!"
Leng Xi leaned against Ming Chuan's chest, and upon hearing this, she simply smiled faintly and replied, "Mm."
The video call ended, and the office returned to silence, with only the soft glow of neon lights streaming in from the window.
Mingchuan looked down at Leng Xi in his arms, whose eyes and brows showed a hint of weariness but made her even more beautiful, and his heart was filled with affection.
He reached out and gently tucked a strand of hair damp with sweat behind her ear, his fingertips lingeringly brushing against her smooth cheek.
"Are you tired?" he asked in a low voice, his tone tinged with a contented languor and concern.
Leng Xi closed her eyes slightly, snuggling against him like a lazy cat, her voice a little muffled: "It's okay... just a little hungry."
After a busy day and some intense exercise, I've definitely expended a lot of energy.
Mingchuan chuckled and lowered his head to kiss the top of her head.
"It's my fault, I was too hasty. Let's go home. I'll cook you something delicious, what would you like to eat?"
