"When did I say that I was dead?" Xue Yin's beautiful facial features scrunched up when she pouted disappointedly.

"F*cking hell! Didn't the Gu worms eat up all of your flesh? How's it possible that you're still alive?" The crew-cut man jumped up and exclaimed as though a scorpion had stung him.

Xue Yin's tender smile rapidly turned into a frown when she heard the crew-cut man's words. Her curiosity was aroused once more when she turned and noticed Bai Wu walking toward the room downstairs. She pranced over and looked up at him.

"You don't seem shocked at all. Why is that?" She could see that everyone around her was very much astonished; they all had a surprised expression, except for Bai Wu, that is.

"You're in my way." Bai Wu held in his temper.

"Tch. You haven't told me yet. Why are you not the least bit amazed? You're no fun." Xue Yin pouted and remarked unhappily.

"I SAID. GET OUT OF MY WAY! If such a huge catacomb appeared with a snap of the fingers, do you think it's really so baffling that you're still alive?" A deep frown appeared on Bai Wu's face as he walked past Xue Yin.

"Tch..." Xue Yin looked at Bai Wu as he left, then angrily slapped her own thigh.

Xu Lan still had not woken up. His face was pale and completely drained of blood; his brows were locked tightly and cold sweat formed on his skin. Bai Wu sat in front of the bed and held his hand, planting a sincere kiss on it.

"Are you angry? You are, aren't you? I was too worried about you at the time, the thought of returning from the grave didn't even pop up in my mind," Bai Wu softly recalled.

Who would have the time to think about anything else when the love of your life stood in front of you, covered in blood? All Bai Wu could think of was how to let it all stop. Xu Lan was angry at him for certain. He knew that something was not right when he heard Sheng Ya's words. It was as though...as though the whole world cast him aside, leaving him lonely and helpless.

"Papa. You can wake up anytime now. If you don't, I'll have to kiss you again." It was both an appeal and a threat at the same time. He finally felt what Xu Lan had felt earlier when the latter carried Bai Wu's ice-cold body.

"Mm, this is a nice place indeed. Do you remember how you helped me take out all that sexual Gu?" Bai Wu gave Xu Lan a soft kiss and smoothened Xu Lan's eyebrows. He then traced a finger through Xu Lan's nose bridge, lips, and Adam's apple.

In reality, Xu Lan was not fond of wearing white-colored clothes. He hated washing them because they could never be washed completely clean. After Liang Yu provoked him by being his rival in love, Xu Lan slowly began wearing white clothes, and during that period, it was Bai Wu who helped to wash them.

Like scarlet plum blossoms on the pure-white snow, Xu Lan's fresh blood was both eye-catching and vibrant in color. It was a bright contrast to the copper-colored tan that resulted from his duties as a cop, and it looked genuinely erotic. Throughout their time together, this was the first occasion – after Xu Lan confessed, that is – where Bai Wu was able to look at his body at such close range and in such detail.

"Papa, please wake up. I don't know what I'll do to you if you don't wake up soon." Despite knowing that Xu Lan was not facing any mortal endangerment, Bai Wu still wished that he would wake up and open his eyes. Most importantly, Bai Wu's hand was becoming increasingly naughty, and such actions were no different from a wild animal!

Without breaking his gaze, Bai Wu's fair hands caressed the bronze skin, making for a garish sight! He swallowed his saliva anxiously.

"Papa..."

"... You're awake!" As if he had no concept of bashfulness, Bai Wu jumped up excitedly and hugged Xu Lan, and then gave him a tight kiss.

"Can you get down from me, please?" Xu Lan massaged his own temples and asked softly.

"NO!" Bai Wu declined strongly and displayed the imposingness that so characterized him as a leader of the dragon clan. His movements though were the complete opposite – he acted like a spoiled child and rubbed himself against Xu Lan.
