Chapter 59: The Mutating Void

“Heck, did I have a choice? I didn’t do it out of my own accord!” Xu Lan wiped his mouth furiously with the blanket as Bai Wu’s words reminded him of Li Xiu’s bloody scent. Bai Wu remained grumpy and refused to look at him.

“Speak up!” Xu Lan gave Bai Wu a violent kicked and shouted. He suspected that Bai Wu lacked a brain, perhaps that was why he acted on his instincts all the time. In fact, he could not even distinguish between right and wrong.

“Sob, sob… Papa, you said you’ll love me and be with me forever. You can only have my scent on you! I hate it when you smell like someone else. Hic…”

Bai Wu turned and looked at Xu Lan as he wailed. He was not behaving like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old. He had a runny nose and tears were gushing from his eyes. It was a symphony of sniffing, sobbing, and hiccups. He did not care about his image and wailed miserably.

“Pfft. Fine, fine. Papa loves Bai Wu only. You’re my favorite, my treasure. Stop crying, it hurts me to watch you cry,” Xu Lan chuckled as he wiped the tears off Bai Wu’s face. He ended up bursting into an uncontrollable laughing fit.

The deserted riverside turned lively with the mix of laughter and cries, catching the birds off guard.

His voice blared like a high-pitch speaker, once activated, it could never be stopped. Bai Wu finally let it slide when Xu Lan agreed to compromise.

Xu Lan’s phone had been ringing since their escape. Some were from the police station, but most were unknown numbers. Bai Wu was all over the news. The dragon’s appearance shocked Huaxia.

Specialists from different fields flocked after them, determined to find out more about this. This was the last thing Xu Lan wanted.

“Papa, sorry for disobeying your instructions,” Bai Wu apologized guiltily after noticing the troubled look on Xu Lan’s face.

“This isn’t your fault. Even if you didn’t transform before everyone, this would’ve happened sooner or later,” Xu Lan smiled as he put his cell phone back into his pocket. Li Xiu would have exposed this to the world even if Bai Wu did not come over.

“Do you know who Li Xiu is and why is he obsessed with destroying you? His recovery ability is abnormal. How can he go to a pub after you broke two of his ribs the day before?” Xu Lan slid his hand into his pocket, wishing that he had a packet of Yunyan Special titbit soft with him.

“… I’ve no idea. All I know is that he works for Qiao Yi and would do anything to hinder my return to the dragon clan,” said Bai Wu after a moment of contemplation.

“Qiao Yi?” Xu Lan was confused as to why he would go through such lengths to stop Bai Wu from returning.

“I used to be the leader of the dragon clan. He only became the leader after he worked with the subordinates to poison me,” Bai Wu stated briefly and he was reluctant to elaborate further on matters pertaining to the dragon world.

“Hence, you’ve been looking for the passage that leads you home right?” asked Xu Lan. His dark pupils were shielded by his lashes and it was hard to see what was going on in his mind.

“Uh huh…” There was a sudden loud boom! Bai Wu punched his fist in the air. The air immediately condensed and shattered into smithereens. The shards fell through piece by piece.

“Scram! I’m not in the mood to entertain you now!” Bai Wu cursed at the black void.

“Hyuk hyuk…” A disturbing laugh came from the pitch black void, spreading chilliness in the air.

That was the first time Xu Lan saw the dimensional crack that Bai Wu spoke of. The laughter echoed atop the river.

His hard scales collided with the dense air and the shattered pieces of air started falling down. Before these pieces touched the ground, they transformed and became a part of the air again. Bai Wu was enraged and immediately armed himself. As his anger grew, his horns grew as well.

The dimension seemed to be terrified of Bai Wu. It inched toward Bai Wu gingerly, only to retract after being chastised. In spite of that, it was relentlessly trying to inch closer.

“Is this the dimensional crack that you spoke of?” Xu Lan squinted his eyes as he sized the abstract yet real existence up.

“Yes, the longer we remain here, the more unstable the dimension will be. The instability is aggravated when I’m in my complete form,” Bai Wu explained to Xu Lan as he glared at the void in a threatening manner.

The dimensional balance was upset by Bai Wu’s arrival into a world that he did not belong to, and the distortion in the space-time created a crack. Bai Wu’s continuing presence led to the conversion of energy into mass. This was similar to food consumption; the indigestible food will be excreted by the body. The phenomenon was made obvious after Bai Wu’s recovery of power. He had to remain on guard in order to not be caught in the crack.

“Hmm? What happens when you are caught within the crack?”

It seemed that he would be sent to another dimension. What would happen then? Bai Wu seemed fine the last time he came to Huaxia. Moreover, Bai Wu mentioned that he was used to traveling between different dimensions and he seemed to be unaffected by it.

“… It can’t do anything to me anymore. I’m constantly alternating between one dimension to another and my body has developed resistance to it. I’m worried about you, Papa. I don’t want you to experience the excruciating pain once more,” Bai Wu replied after a brief moment of contemplation.

‘Ah, so this wouldn’t cause any problem to the two worlds. The interdimensional traveler himself will be suffering from the consequences. The excruciating pain has a devastating effect on the interdimensional traveler’s physical and mental well-being. So it seems that the crushing thunderbolt that befell upon him was real?’ thought Xu Lan.

“I see, why did Li Xiu say that you could never return to the dragon clan after your identity has been exposed?” Xu Lan asked as he caressed his chin.

Xu Lan felt a crushing weight on his chest as he brought up the topic.

“I’ve no idea. As I used to have the physical appearance of a child, I was barely a threat to Qiao Yi. I’ve no idea how to get back too.” Bai Wu was frustrated by his current predicament. He threw a punch at the void, directing his anger at the crack.

Xu Lan gave himself a tight slap — he must be crazy! How can he be happy after hearing Bai Wu’s explanation? He must be crazy to think that Bai Wu could stay with him forever.

“Papa, what are you doing!” Bai Wu watched as Xu Lan gave himself a slap. His eyes were red and he did not know what to do. He remained armed as the crack preyed on him. All he could do was lick Xu Lan with his tongue, blowing heat like a heater on Xu Lan’s face in the process.

Bai Wu’s instinctive move warmed Xu Lan’s heart. Through Bai Wu, he found solace in his broken relationship with his old man. He treated Bai Wu the way he wished his old man would treat him.
