Chapter 263 - The Search for Tang (2/2)
“… Xu Lan. I sincerely hope you won’t interfere with the clan’s affairs, just as I did not interfere in your cases.” Bai Wu sighed and remarked imperatively.
“I, at that time… Okay.” Xu Lan wanted to explain at length, but in the end, he simply looked down and replied. He prepared for the worst before arriving there, but he could not take it when he saw Bai Wu’s condition the day before.
Just as Xu Lan wanted to protect Bai Wu, Bai Wu also wanted to protect Xu Lan. The problem was that the dragon clan were much stronger than humans. Xu Lan’s association with Bai Wu, though minimal, might result in the entire clan shifting their hatred toward Xu Lan if they were not able to defeat Bai Wu. If that happens, then…
“I’m going to save Tang soon. You wait here. If I don’t come back tonight, you, you have to go home. Do you understand?” Bai Wu turned Xu Lan’s body so they were facing each other. He then placed his hand on Xu Lan’s face.

Don’t tell me you’ve never once thought of bringing me into your world?” Xu Lan was finally able to understand the suffering Bai Wu felt when he treated the latter as a kid! At that point, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Bai Wu may be looking at him as though he was an infant!
“I’ve thought of it before! There’s not a single moment I don’t wish to present you to Bai Ling and let all the clan members know that you are my partner! But it can’t be done now!” Bai Wu disregarded Xu Lan’s anger and simply went up to kiss the plaster before getting up to leave.
“I want to follow you. Right now. I can’t stand all the f*cking waiting that I have to do here.” Xu Lan laughed in spite of the anger and replied insipidly. By then, the gun capable of killing giant dragons was raised atop his head.
