Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As Bai Wu’s black dragon’s might intensified, Xu Lan felt like he was being crushed by a gigantic rock and knelt in pain. Xiao Feng, Wang Meng, and everyone in the police station were moaning in pain.
“… Hurry up and stop this nonsense, they can’t survive this!”
“Papa, why are you being so nice to these weak humans?” Bai Wu asked with a pair of bloodshot eyes, his tear mole lightened up and was dyed into a light tint of red.
“Heck! What are you going on about? No one was born strong. Listen to me, stop…” Xu Lan said as he tried to wiggle his way out.
“I hate them! I hate humans!” Bai Wu was angered. The floor started to shake and the plaster on the wall began to crumble.
“Selfish and timid, it makes me nauseous whenever I think of their ugly personalities! Whether it’s Li Xiu, Hu Cheng, or Song Xi, all of them are fulfilling their selfish desires by masking them under their glorious excuses!”
Xu Lan was stunned—this was the first time Bai Wu expressed his opinion on humans. He never knew this was what Bai Wu thought of humans.
“I’m a human too,” Xu Lan stared at Bai Wu and spoke softly.
“No! You’re not the same! Ever since the day you rescued me, I know you are different from the rest of them!” The pressure increased and Wang Meng’s nose started to bleed.
“Bai Wu, are you sure what you feel for me is love? Are you sure that it’s not just reliance?” Xu Lan asked sadly.
“Of course it’s love!” Bai Wu was frightened by how calmly Xu Lan asked his question. He immediately retracted some of his dragon’s might as he wanted Xu Lan to look at him.
The sun shone through the windows once again, expelling the chilliness in the room. Xu Lan pushed away Bai Wu’s hand gently and stumbled over to help Wang Meng up.
“Papa, I… I didn’t mean that. I’m just… I’m just unhappy because of the Song Xi incident…”
“Why don’t you head home first and we’ll talk about this when I’m back,” Xu Lan turned around and said to Bai Wu.
Bai Wu’s heart fell when he heard Xu Lan. He let his hand dangle. He could sense the distrust and distance from Xu Lan’s tone.
Besides Wang Meng and Xiao Feng, no one knew what they had just gone through. The duo finally realized the difference between themselves and Bai Wu—Bai Wu was a dragon who did not belong in their world.
“I’m sorry, but could you both please keep this a secret?” Xu Lan apologized in shame.
“… He’s right, you know. It’s just that his analysis wasn’t thorough. So, both of you are not biological father and son?” Xiao Feng asked.
“Uh huh, he used to be younger. I didn’t expect him to grow up this quickly,” Xu Lan replied as he smiled bitterly.
“Xiao Xu, you should head home. It’s not entirely his fault, he just lacks a sense of security,” Wang Meng sighed and glanced at Xiao Feng before speaking.
“Sense of security? How do I give him that? Will he develop a sense of security if I continue to let him have his way? Pft, I think I’m too nice to him, which is why he’s been acting like a spoiled brat. Forget about him, let’s talk about Song Xi,” Xu Lan snickered as he tried to keep his anger in.
“Are you sure he’ll be fine? I’m worried that he’ll take revenge on the general public,” Xiao Feng cocked his head and looked at Xu Lan in distrust. He turned around and glanced at Bai Wu who was on his way out.
“Heck! Forget about it! If you guys don’t plan on telling the truth, stay away and don’t come looking for me again!” Xu Lan replied agitatedly.
“We’ll tell!”
