Chapter 953 - Leaving the Dragon Spiral Mountain "Now that you all know the truth, I am going to tell you my plans." Yuan spoke again after letting the others some time to digest the information. "I will first find the Dragon Spiral Mountain within the Nine Heavens and activate it. Then I will travel to the Nine Heavens and reabsorb my soul. That way, I will be at my full potential." "I'm not exactly sure what I am going to do afterward, but I will think of something by then— hopefully." "Oh yeah, I should also warn you about techniques that can damage your soul. Since your character is created from your soul, it wouldn't be wise to be struck by such a fatal attack. Therefore, avoid them at all costs." Sometime later, Yuan said to them, "Anyways, now that is out of the way, I have a small announcement to make." "My sister's birthday is coming up soon, and I plan on visiting her, so I won't be here for a few days starting tomorrow. Any questions?" Chu Liuxiang immediately raised her hand and said, "I wanted to ask you this sooner, but can I go with you? I want to meet Yu Rou in person this time." "I don't mind." Yuan nodded. "Thank you!" Everyone returned to their own rooms to further think about the information Yuan revealed shortly after. That night, Yuan went to spend the night with Meixiu. "You're not going to use the Love Capsules this time?" Yuan asked her as they prepared for their love session. "No… I was only curious about it last time. Honestly, it doesn't feel right— consuming medicine to enhance my performance. I don't want to rely on medicine to keep up with you. However, I will admit that it was a fun time. I have never been pushed so far past my limit." Yuan smiled and said, "I also don't want to rely on those Love Capsules. Chu Liuxiang said that I will eventually find more partners, and when that happens, I will need the stamina to love them as well. Even though a single Love Capsule can keep me going for half a day, I don't like the feeling of being out of control, so I will also refrain from using them in the future and use my own strength to satisfy you." "Yuan…" Meixiu made her advancement and kissed Yuan on the lips. However, right as things started getting intense, Meixiu's cell phone started ringing. "This is…" Meixiu swallowed nervously after seeing the name of the caller. "Who could be calling so late into the night?" Yuan asked her as he stopped moving his body. "I-It's Yu Rou…" Meixiu said. "Should I answer it?" "Go ahead." Yuan nodded as he pulled his sword out of Meixiu's cave before laying on the bed beside her. Meixiu took a deep breath before accepting the call. "Hello! Meixiu, is this a good time?" Yu Rou's voice was filled with enthusiasm. "Yes, I can speak now." Meixiu said. "Great! Do you know what my brother is doing right now? I was hoping to speak with him." Meixiu turned to look at Yuan, who quickly shook his head. "Sorry, but Yuan is actually out of the house now…" "Eh? Isn't it nighttime over there? What is he doing out so late?" "He had to speak with the Lord of the Dragon Spiral Mountain. It seemed very important." Meixiu didn't think she'd have to lie to Yu Rou in such a manner, and she felt like someone who was lying her way out of being caught cheating. "Haaa… I haven't been able to hear Brother's voice in so long. I think this is the longest I have ever gone without seeing him or hearing his voice!" "What did you want to speak with Yuan about? I can tell him for you when he returns." Yu Rou remained silent for a good moment before finally speaking, "It's nothing too important. I just wanted to see if we can schedule a video call in a few days. It's my birthday, after all." "Do you think my brother even remembers my birthday?" Yu Rou then asked. "Of course! Yuan won't forget something so important!" "Really? I don't know… It's just been so long… I'm afraid that he's forgotten about me now that he's truly free." "Don't be silly, Yu Rou. You're his precious little sister. He will never forget about you." Meixiu reassured her. "Then let's put that to the test. Don't tell my brother about this conversation, and don't remind him about my birthday. If he truly remembers, he will be the one contacting me instead." "Okay, I won't say anything to Yuan. I promise." "Thank you, Meixiu. It's almost time for my morning training, so I leave now. I will call you again later to listen to your stories!" "See you later, Yu Rou." After closing the phone, Meixiu turned to look at Yuan and said, "Technically, you overheard our conversation, so I didn't tell you again." Yuan showed a bittersweet smile and said, "That silly girl is worried that I might have forgotten about her? My one and only sister? Not going to lie, I feel a little sad." "And in order to make sure that she will never have such worries again, I will give her the best birthday present ever!" "What do you have in mind?" Meixiu asked out of curiosity. "I will tell you when we're on the plane tomorrow." The two of them resumed their business with each other shortly after. The following morning, Yuan, Meixiu, and Chu Liuxiang left the Dragon Spiral Mountain in a car and made their way to the airport. On their way to the airport, Yuan made sure to tell Chu Liuxiang that his relationship with them must be kept a secret. "I don't mind keeping our relationship a secret, but if she asks me, I will tell her that I love you— not that she doesn't know that already." Chu Liuxiang chuckled. Sometime later, the three of them boarded the airplane and started flying towards Yu Rou's location.
