Ye Buqi's eyes showed reluctance: "So you dissected the reverse scale and the dragon pearl?"
Chang Le hurriedly shook his head: "No 'cutting'! I'm no longer flesh and blood. If I want to take them out, they will flow out on their own and won't hurt me. It's just that suddenly losing these two treasures has made my old wounds a bit hard to heal, and I need to rest."
Ye Buqi's face was slightly cold, and Chang Le helplessly held up two fingers: "I really didn't lie, and I wasn't pretending."
Ye Buqi sighed, "Never mind, at least you're back safe and sound."
Chang Le laughed, hugged her, and nuzzled her neck: "At least we're still alive!"
Ye Buqi recalled countless times that time fate had shown him kindness:
"Yes, I thought I was going to die in that fire more than 20 years ago. I never expected that the fire would accidentally trigger the remaining spatial array, which teleported me to the Wolf Sect thousands of miles away. That's why we were able to meet again. I'm very lucky to have met you, Lele, and to be able to stay with you until now."
Chang Le leaned on her shoulder, and from an angle where she couldn't see, her face showed a calm joy, rather than a feeling of relief or surprise.
She echoed, "Yes, you didn't die. We're so lucky, so lucky."
Ye Buqi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is she still there?"
The "she" that Ye Buqi mentioned is one of Chang Le's personalities, a personality born from her—Ye Buqi.
Chang Le held her hand and said calmly, "She's asleep."
The atmosphere was a little heavy, so Ye Buqi changed the subject: "You slept for two whole days. During the day, Anning brought Xiaoxue to see you, and Kulaiyi also said he was coming, but he won't arrive until tomorrow. Tao Zi, Ziguiti, and Chen Wu also said they would come back."
"Oh, while you were sleeping, people from all the major regions came to visit. Even people from Lu Xin and Yan Zhongxing, whom I wasn't very familiar with, sent people, but we've already sent them away."
Chang Le looked helpless: "Why make such a fuss? I'm just coming back for a visit."
Ye Buqi's sharp, upturned eyes widened even more: "So what? You think you're going on a vacation?"
Did you run off to some unknown dimension, to an alien's house, or did you disappear for four whole months without a trace, your fate unknown? Do you know we're all worried sick? Why do you sound like you're on a tourist trip to a neighboring area? Have you been there before?"
Chang Le paused for a moment, realizing she had misspoke, and smiled ingratiatingly, "Sister, I was wrong, please don't be mean to me."
Ye Buqi pursed her lips slightly: "If I really wanted to be mean to you, you would have cried by now. If it were one of my men, they would have been so angry they wanted to hang themselves!"
"Yes, yes, yes, my sister is the gentlest to me!" Chang Le hugged her arm, tilted her head back and smiled. "So, my dear sister, put down those cold documents and come roll around in bed with me, okay?"
"Sigh!" Ye Buqi reached out and poked her brow with his finger. "Watch your words. I'm afraid Fu Guang will assassinate me when he comes back."
Chang Le chuckled and followed Ye Buqi to her room, then crawled into her bed.
Soon, the two fell asleep. A wisp of translucent white light flew out and landed on Ye Buqi's brow, making her sleep even more soundly. Chang Le, who seemed to be fast asleep beside her, opened his eyes.
Gone was the spoiled and lively demeanor she had displayed in front of Ye Buqi; instead, there was a calmness born of experience, yet not apathy. She propped her head up, gently smoothed Ye Buqi's hair, and gazed at her with a soft smile for a long time.
A sigh of relief mingled with the night: "It's so good that you're still here."
