Chapter 1 (2/2)

Just as Mo Xiaobai was about to lose consciousness, an ear-shattering explosion sounded in his brain. It felt as though the sky had cracked.

He felt invigorated. It felt as though a stream of clear spring water was flowing into a piece of land that had been dried for many years. His consciousness, which was starting to float away, returned to his body.

Mo Xiaobai’s vision turned pure white. However, this whiteness only lasted for a split second before it disappeared. His vision returned.

… I’m alive?

Mo Xiaobai used much of his strength to raise his head, and looked in the mirror. His face was as white as paper, and his hair and clothes were all wet. There was blankness in his gaze.

He lifted the corners of his lips. In the mirror, he smiled bitterly.

… I’m really alive!

The pain subsided like the waves of a sea. His strength returned, and Mo Xiaobai relaxed.

It felt good to be alive…

But, what happened just now?

Mo Xiaobai recalled the earth-shattering explosion in his mind just now. He was puzzled.

He felt that there was something different about him.

At this moment, he realized that there were changes to his vision.

There were lines of white light hovering in the air around him.

The lines of light looked disorderly. They floated in the air quietly, and seemed to be surrounding him.

Mo Xiaobai’s eyes turned wide open. He looked at the white light, and his heart palpitated furiously.

This light!

He swallowed his saliva. He felt that his heart was almost going to jump out of his throat.

This light!

Wasn’t this the light he always saw when he had the headache?!

He clearly remembered that when his head was hurting, he saw many different colors of light. One of the colors was white!

But, his headache just ended, right?!

Why was he still able to see the white light?

Mo Xiaobai looked at the white lines. He remained silent for a moment, and slowly stretched out his hand. He carefully touched one of the lines with his forefinger.

His forefinger didn’t touch anything. It just passed through the white line of light.

He couldn’t touch it?

Mo Xiaobai blinked. He didn’t give up, and lifted his hand to touch the white light again. It still felt like air.

What on earth was this?

Mo Xiaobai was slightly stunned.

“Mo Xiaobai? What are you doing in the bathroom? Why are you taking so long to bathe? Breakfast is getting cold!”

While Mo Xiaobai was in a daze, a loud shout was heard outside. It helped Mo Xiaobai to regain his senses.

Mo Xiaobai hurriedly shouted, “I’m almost done! You can eat first!”

He glanced at the lines of white lights. Then, he walked to the shower. Surprisingly, the lines of white lights started moving as he walked. They seemed to be circling around him.

“…” Mo Xiaobai.

He raised his hand and swept the white lights. It was still useless. He couldn’t touch anything.

Could it be a hallucination?

Mo Xiaobai went deep in thought. Was this an illusion left by the headache just now?

As for other possibilities, Mo Xiaobai didn’t dare to think about them.

What if this was a curse given to him by some devil or evil god? He would cry to death.

But, after thinking carefully, Mo Xiaobai felt that the possibility of this wasn’t high. After all, he had never offended a devil or an evil god.

From the looks of it now, these lights didn’t seem to have any influence on him. Mo Xiaobai started to ignore them.

Maybe they would disappear after some time, just like how they appeared suddenly.

He didn’t think about it anymore. He took off his shirt that was drenched with perspiration and washed quickly. He changed into his black slim cut school uniform, and rushed out of the bathroom.

A man and a woman were already sitting at the dining table.

The man was Mo Xiaobai’s father, Mo You.

Mo You looked handsome and righteous. His features were deep and angular. However, the three thin scars on the left side of his forehead affected his handsomeness slightly.

Based on what Mo You said, when he was still studying in university, he went on an expedition to the hollow realm. In order to protect his wife, who was Mo Xiaobai’s mother, Mu Yuzhu, he got scratched by an iron claw cat. He missed the prime recovery period, so he had some scars left behind.

However, Mo You would shamelessly say that scars were the emblems of a man. He felt that they gave him a manly look.

As for the lady, it was naturally Mo Xiaobai’s mother, Mu Yuzhu.

Mu Yuzhu was tall and slender. Her hair was beautiful. It was long, black, and smooth. Her eyes were blood-red as though there were flames burning in them. She was extremely beautiful.

When Mu Yuzhu was still studying, she was known as a genius and the campus belle. She even had great affinity with fire. Mo You said that Mu Yuzhu had had many suitors. There had been many men who were more outstanding than him among them. However, he was able to get together with Mu Yuzhu because of that expedition to the hollow realm.

Maybe it was because they went through hardships together, but they were always very lovey-dovey.

Yes… Mo Xiaobai was forced to watch their mushy expressions of love for each other while he was growing up.
