405 YOU BETTER GO NOW
Wu Jinhai suddenly screamed in pain after his fish scales were touched by Bai Lang, and Bai Chen, who could only watch helplessly from the white space, even gasped in shock when he heard that painful scream.
“What... what did you do to Wu Jinhai, Bai Lang?” Panicked, Bai Chen asked Bai Lang.
Bai Chen knew that Bai Lang could definitely hear his question, but he didn’t get a response from the Immortal Elder even after he voiced his question. It seemed that Bai Lang had no intention of answering him, and that was why Bai Chen was about to shout once again.
However, before his voice left his mouth, Bai Chen could see how Bai Lang suddenly pulled his finger away from Wu Jinhai’s forehead, and Wu Jinhai also stopped screaming in pain.
At this time, Bai Chen could hear Bai Lang speaking, “It is possible. It is possible to expel the Black Bead from your body, Wu Jinhai.”
Bai Chen had indeed heard how Bai Lang mentioned how he would help Wu Jinhai get rid of the demon poison in his body, and that poison was indeed related to the Black Bead. After all, Wu Jinhai once told him about it, and that’s why Bai Chen wasn’t completely clueless when he heard Bai Lang’s sentence.
“I thought you would immediately help Wu Jinhai to remove the poison in his body, but you just assessed his condition, huh? Why did your touch even cause Wu Jinhai to feel pain if you only did that to assess his condition, Bai Lang?” Bai Chen muttered a question, but just like how his previous questions remained unanswered, the next question also received no response.
Maybe it was because Bai Lang was only focused on Wu Jinhai at the moment, or maybe it was just because Bai Lang was too annoying that he could even ignore his questions. Bai Chen couldn’t help but think that the latter was more likely, but he didn’t say anything because Wu Jinhai finally voiced a response after gasping for air.
“If that’s possible, then are you going to help me get rid of the poison in my body?” Wu Jinhai asked the Immortal Elder when he was finally able to breathe normally again.
.....
It seemed that nothing had changed in Wu Jinhai after the fish scales on his forehead were touched by Bai Lang. The golden scales were touched by the white light that appeared on Bai Lang’s fingertips, but it didn’t seem like the light had caused any damage at all. That was why nothing looked any different from Wu Jinhai at the moment.
“I will help you, but I won’t help you.” Bai Lang replied, but the answer was quite confusing for Wu Jinhai.
Even Yu Ming and Wu Jingguo, who were currently standing behind Wu Jinhai, showed the same confused expression on their faces after hearing the ambiguous reply from the Immortal Elder.
“Are you planning to play a trick on me? It’s fine if you don’t want to help me, but I don’t like it if you keep wasting my time,” Wu Jinhai coldly responded to the Immortal Elder.
The Eldest Prince of Wu Li didn’t sound polite at all, and even Yu Ming tugged at his sleeve to remind him that the figure standing before him was one of the strongest beings in the world.
Wu Jinhai could understand his signals, but he just pulled away from Yu Ming’s grasp, silently telling the older man not to disturb him while he was talking to the Immortal Elder.
Perhaps Yu Ming wanted to slap his forehead at this time, but he didn’t say anything and just pulled his hand away from the younger man.
Bai Lang watched the silent interaction between Wu Jinhai and Yu Ming, but he ignored it as he said, “You really are a pain in the ass, but unfortunately, my silly grandson loves you very much. That’s why I can’t even use my strength on you to punish your obnoxious behavior.”
The word “grandson” was mentioned, and both Yu Ming and Wu Jingguo looked curious about it, but Wu Jinhai didn’t seem to have the same thought as he uttered in reply, “You call me a pain in the ass, but you’re actually worse than me. I indeed can be annoying at times, but you have been toying with Bai Chen all this time, haven’t you? Do you think I’m stupid? You didn’t expect that I would be able to recognize your voice in the dream?”
Yu Ming and Wu Jingguo looked even more confused. What dream was Wu Jinhai talking about? It was clear that Wu Jinhai was not afraid of the Immortal Elder, but it was still uncertain about the reason why he could act so boldly in front of the powerful figure.
Yu Ming and Wu Jingguo indeed couldn’t understand what Wu Jinhai had just said, but it seemed that the Immortal Elder could understand it as he suddenly burst into laughter. “Sure, sure! You are far from stupid!” He replied. “You sure aren’t stupid, but you almost fell into a trap if I didn’t suddenly appear in your dream, right? That’s why you shouldn’t be too proud of yourself, young man.”
“…” This time, Wu Jinhai no longer voiced an immediate answer.
When Yu Ming and Wu Jingguo couldn’t understand what Bai Lang had just said, Wu Jinhai understood it very well, and that was why he had to admit defeat tacitly instead of arguing.
Seeing how the Eldest Prince of Wu Li no longer rebuked him, Bai Lang smirked before saying, “You three can leave this forest now. I still have another business here, but I promise this will be the last.”
Once again, the Immortal Elder spoke about business, and Wu Jinhai looked irritated as he replied, “What business are you talking about? Just now you said you would help me, but then you asked me to leave. What do you plan to do?”
When Wu Jinhai looked irritated, Bai Lang remained calm as he replied, “I will be able to help you if you are willing to leave this place as soon as possible. You also want to meet Bai Chen soon, right? That’s why you better go now.”
