"Qian Fan, didn't you always long to return to your homeland to find your grandfather and your little sister?
But so much time has passed now. Why are you still here, taking me around to have fun?"
Xu Yuan'er tilted her head up, her large, watery eyes fixed on Qian Fan, filled with bewilderment, as though great big question marks floated in them.
"Hahahaha! Yuan'er, you're just too adorable! Hahahahaha..."
At the sight of Xu Yuan'er's innocent, utterly adorable expression, Qian Fan couldn't help clutching his stomach and bursting into laughter.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan'er immediately stuck out her lower lip, displeasure written all over her face.
She chided him, "Qian Fan, what exactly are you laughing at? I'm asking you a very serious question!"
As she spoke, she stamped her foot to express her dissatisfaction.
Only after quite a while did Qian Fan finally manage to stop laughing. He reached out and gently pinched Xu Yuan'er's pink, peachlike cheek, saying softly,
"Oh, don't be angry, Yuan'er.
Actually, I just found it especially endearing to see how much you care about me.
That's why I couldn't hold back and laughed.
All right... don't be angry anymore..."
Even after he finished speaking, a trace of laughter still lingered on Qian Fan's face.
Qian Fan rubbed Xu Yuan'er's head.
"Ah... Yuan'er, how could I not want to go find my grandfather and little sister right now?
But, you see,
this time,
besides bringing them back,
we have another very important task:
strengthening my Abyss Domain. You've seen it yourself. Since the Abyss Domain is a subordinate Star Domain of the Seven Star Domain,
it receives very little Spirit Power,
and powerful cultivators don't flock there, either.
If we don't bring in some fresh blood,
I'm afraid I won't see the Abyss Domain
