Chapter 133 - World of Games (1/2)

“If it were any other place, I’d be jumping for joy, but because it’s here, I honestly wouldn’t want Papa to come.” An expression of dread flashed across Bai Wu’s face as he remarked with a hint of worry.

“Why? I came here to find you. I lost my phone when I was in the middle of chasing someone, so I wasn’t able to pick up your call.” Xu Lan declined the bread that Bai Wu offered and went to sit on a stool inside the house.

The relatively modest house was made of mud brick. Its furnishings were quite simple: a table, a bed, and a few stools.

“…” Bai Wu, with his reddened eye sockets, looked down.

“I’m sorry. Just recently you mentioned that the void didn’t have that big of an effect, so I became careless. I came to apologize. I was too busy with the case and we never had a chance to sit down and properly talk about it.”

Bai Wu lifted his head abruptly, revealing a constant flow of tears.

“It’s…it’s my fault.” His constant anger led to him transforming into a dragon more frequently. In turn, it caused the crack to increase in size within a short span of time.

“I’ve said all that I have to say. Since you don’t want me here, I’ll leave when the crack appears again.” Xu Lan’s veins bulged slightly as he made the blunt remark.

“No! I don’t mean it that way. I’m just worried that Papa would not be able to wait until the crack appears,” Bai Wu explained immediately.

“What do you mean?” Noticing that something did not seem quite right, Xu Lan raised an eyebrow.

Technically, the place could not be considered a parallel universe: to a certain extent, its scope was limited, but its self-sufficient counterpart existed in space and time.
