Chapter 389 - 389 GRANDFATHER AND GRANDCHILD
389 GRANDFATHER AND GRANDCHILD
Bai Chen really couldn’t believe it. The first time he met Bai Lang was a few months ago, but he thought that Bai Lang was just a boring ghost who wanted to play with his sanity in this world. Sure enough, Bai Lang said that he was the one who could control this world, but Bai Chen often thought that those statements were nothing more than nonsense.
However, he might need to change his opinion about the little wolf today when he could finally figure out the true identity of the wolf who introduced himself as Bai Lang. Bai Lang was none other than the Immortal Elder who had mysteriously died many years ago, and it was still hard for Bai Chen to believe it.
Bai Chen actually didn’t remember the day the Immortal Elder passed away. It seemed that that day had happened years ago when he was still very small, and that was why he had no vivid memories of the Immortal Elder.
Moreover, the people in Dong Lang talked about the Elder less and less as time went on, and that was why Bai Chen had almost forgotten about the Immortal Elder’s existence. Who would have thought that the little wolf he often argued with was the Immortal Elder? Bai Chen didn’t see it coming at all, and that was why he hastily jumped off the giant wolf’s back before looking at the wolf in horror.
“So, you’ve been staying with me the whole time because you’re the Elder Immortal, Bai Lang? Is that the truth you’ve been hiding from me all along?” With a face painted with disbelief, Bai Chen asked the white wolf.
“Yes,” Bai Lang replied calmly. “Perhaps you don’t remember, but we met a lot in the past, Bai Chen. Back then, you weren’t even a year old, and that’s why it’s understandable that you couldn’t remember me. You were so small back then, and you couldn’t even talk or walk, but to my surprise, one day you suddenly called me ‘grandfather,’ and I started to fall in love with you then.”
The white wolf calmly replied, but Bai Chen’s reaction was far from calm. He hastily crossed his arms in front of his chest as if to protect himself from perverts, and he even took a few steps away from the wolf in fright.
“Did you just say that you fell in love with me, Bai Lang? You mocked me a lot, but that was only because you wanted my attention? You fell in love with me, and that’s why you decided to stay close to me all this time?”
“...” The white wolf looked at Bai Chen dryly when he heard Bai Chen’s questions that sounded stupid in his ears.
.....
Of course, that question was stupid in Bai Lang’s ears, and that was why he even almost lost control and wanted to completely punch Bai Chen.
However, the white wolf managed to control himself as he just took a deep breath before saying, “Didn’t you hear how I said that you suddenly called me ‘grandfather’ years ago? Did you think I would fall in love with my grandchild?”
Suddenly, Bai Chen’s blue eyes widened upon hearing Bai Lang’s question. “Are you my grandfather, Bai Lang?”
“…” Again, Bai Lang looked speechless so he couldn’t answer Bai Chen’s question.
He thought Bai Chen was getting smarter, but maybe he had been wrong all along. In the end, Bai Chen was still a fool.
“You completely forgot about me, Bai Chen,” tiredly, Bai Lang replied to Bai Chen. “I, the Immortal Elder of Dong Lang, have no family. I lived as an Immortal Elder for many years, but I have no wife or children. I don’t have anyone who is related by blood to me, but I always feel happy when someone recognizes me as their family. Maybe no one can’t see it, but I was quite lonely when I continued to live for so many years without family, and that’s why I felt happy when I heard how you recognized me as your grandfather.”
“…” This time, it was Bai Chen who couldn’t immediately utter a reply for Bai Lang.
There was a faint memory of the Immortal Elder in his head. When he was a child, he would occasionally hear stories about how the Immortal Elder had lived alone for so many years, and indeed, the Immortal Elder had no family.
Bai Chen had indeed almost forgotten the story, and that was why he felt guilty when he heard Bai Lang express his true feelings. Even if he had only known Bai Lang for a few months, he could tell that Bai Lang was an arrogant individual, and such a character would not easily reveal that he was feeling lonely.
Having said that, Bai Chen suddenly felt uneasy, but then he let out a heavy sigh before saying, “Thank you, Bai Lang.”
Bai Chen suddenly showed his gratitude, and Bai Lang turned to him with a hint of curiosity on his face. “Why are you suddenly thanking me?” He asked.
Smiling at the giant wolf, Bai Chen replied, “That’s because you deserve it. I acknowledge you as my family, and you sure are the same, right? How you continued to watch over me even after you died is enough to prove that you see me as your family, Bai Lang. That’s why I want to thank you for recognizing me as your family when I also feel lonely most of the time.”
“...” Once again, Bai Lang was too speechless to respond to Bai Chen.
In the past few months, the two of them had been constantly bickering and arguing, but they were suddenly enveloped by such a gentle atmosphere. Even the tsundere Bai Lang looked like he couldn’t pretend anymore, and he finally chuckled as his face painted in relief.
“We can continue to talk about many things later, Bai Chen,” Bai Lang spoke again after his laughter died down. “For now, I have to finish off that bastard Shao Yaoting first, and you can watch the show here. I need to unite my soul so I can be stronger, and that’s why I have to leave you now.”
Bai Lang suddenly said something that Bai Chen didn’t understand, but before Bai Chen could ask for a further explanation, the white wolf disappeared from his sight.
