314 TRUST IS EXPENSIVE
Trust is expensive. It can’t be bought with money, and it can only be earned.
Wu Jinhai also didn’t offer money to buy Bai Chen’s trust, but even though it was only an intense stare he received from the masked man, Bai Chen was finally willing to trust the man once more.
It was said that eyes would always be honest, and seeing how Wu Jinhai could confidently et his pair of eyes instead of looking away when he said those words, Bai Chen decided to give up and trust the man again.
He finally agreed with Wu Jinhai to return to the Xinyang Imperial Palace tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow. Even if Bai Chen said that they should try to get out of the forest as fast as possible, Wu Jinhai was against the idea, saying that he was too tired to return to his palace, and that was why they had decided to spend the night in the woods tonight.
The two of them were lying on Wu Jinhai’s red robes, and the owner of the robe was only wearing his undergarnts at this ti. Bai Chen was sleeping soundly in his arms, and his body was once again covered by his white robe.
Perhaps Wu Jinhai was telling the truth that he was exhausted by now, and that was why the man was even able to sleep soundly even though he was only wearing his white undergarnts. Bai Chen had previously said that the man would probably catch a cold if he didn’t wear his clothes properly, but Wu Jinhai had insisted on using his red robe as a mat where they could lay on inside the barrier he had made, saying that he would fine without the clothes.
They were indeed still in the middle of the forest, but Wu Jinhai said that the golden barrier would be able to protect them from any creatures. Moreover, Wu Jiang was still floating outside the barrier to make sure there were no threats around them, and that was why the two of them could have so ti to rest before they returned to Xinyang Imperial Palace tomorrow.
Bai Chen felt warmth as he slept in Wu Jinhai’s embrace, and he slept soundly before he suddenly felt how his peaceful soul was being pulled sowhere, and in no ti, he was once again in the dull white space that looked familiar to his eyes.
“So, I’m having another dream now? What kind of revelation will I see again in this place?” He muttered to himself as he shifted his gaze to survey his surroundings.
.....
Earlier today he too drifted off into his dreamland before finally landing in the sa white space, but that white space didn’t last long as the setting suddenly changed to that of none other than the Forbidden Forest.
In the forest, Bai Chen witnessed what happened in his past life, and he finally regained his mory after seeing everything in the strange dream.
This ti, he expected things would be like that one more ti. The boring white space would be replaced by a different environnt, and he would see sothing that would open his eyes again.
It was his expectation, but after waiting for a while, nothing had changed within the white space, and Bai Chen started to frown in confusion. “Is there a problem with the machine? Why is it suddenly lagging?” He once again muttered as he could see that nothing had changed in the white space.
“So, you now think that I am no different from a machine, Bai Chen?”
A voice suddenly filled the space aside from Bai Chen’s voice, and Bai Chen recognized that voice all too well. Hence, he imdiately turned his body around, and he could see how a familiar little white wolf was floating in the air while crossing its arms in front of its chest.
“Bai Lang!” Bai Chen had never been so happy when he saw the little creature, but he almost scread when he finally saw the creature one more ti. Even his blue eyes lit up when he saw the creature, and he quickly walked toward it before stopping in front of it.
“I can see that you missed a lot, Bai Chen,” Bai Lang replied arrogantly, but strangely, Bai Chen didn’t feel irritated when he heard the white wolf’s arrogant reply.
“I have a lot of questions I want to ask you, Bai Lang! That’s why I’m so happy to et you!”
“...” Bai Lang’s proud face was replaced with annoyance after it heard what Bai Chen had just said.
But perhaps the white wolf knew that it shouldn’t expect anything from an ungrateful brat like Bai Chen, and that was why it sighed heavily before saying, “You’ve regained your mory, right? That’s why you have so many questions you want to ask ?”
Bai Chen was predictable, and Bai Lang could imdiately guess what was on the man’s mind. Moreover, Bai Chen also knew that Bai Lang was the one who had complete control over him ever since he returned to this world once again, and he was sohow certain about so things related to the little wolf.
“You’re the one who brought back my mories, right, Bai Lang? I was in a space like this before finally seeing what happened to in my past life, and of course, you’re the one who brought my mories back to , right?” Bai Chen directly asked the wolf instead of answering the question directed at him.
Even if the white space was boring, Bai Chen knew that it was the key, and that was the reason why he was sure that Bai Lang was indeed the one who ca up with such a scenario until his mory finally returned.
“That’s right. I was the one who brought back those mories to you, Bai Chen,” Bai Lang replied casually. “So, what are you going to tell after your mory returns, Bai Chen? Will you thank ?”
Bai Lang suddenly appeared arrogantly once again, and Bai Chen smirked after hearing what the wolf had just said. Without answering the wolf’s question, Bai Chen suddenly stepped toward the wolf and choked its neck. “You asked what I wanted to tell you, ah? I wanted to ask why you are so bored that you even toy with my sanity, Bai Lang. Am I just a toy in your eyes?”
