Chapter 410 - WHITE-HAIRED BAI CHEN
410 WHITE-HAIRED BAI CHEN
Bai Chen felt that his soul was being kicked out of the white space, and when he looked around him, he could see that he was surrounded by the huge trees of the Forbidden Forest.
Yes, he was no longer surrounded by the dull white color, and he too could feel his physical body once again. He raised both hands before observing his palms, and nothing seemed to have changed with his palms. However, when he did that, he accidentally caught a glimpse of something that managed to surprise him.
Even if there was no mirror in front of him, Bai Chen knew that his hair was still long, and he also knew that a few strands of hair were now on his shoulders. And it wasn’t the presence of the strands that surprised him, but the color of the strands.
Hesitating, he brought his hand to touch the strands of hair before bringing them closer to his face so he could observe them up close.
“Why... why is my hair turning white?” He questioned himself while continuing to stare at the hair on his hand.
When Bai Lang used his body to fight Shao Yaoting, he couldn’t see his hair because the big screen in the white space only showed things Bai Lang saw with his pair of eyes. Bai Lang didn’t look at his hair, and that’s why Bai Chen didn’t know whether his hair had changed color since Bai Lang used his body or not.
Maybe that wasn’t his concern at the moment either as he was more focused on the fact that his brown hair had turned white. When he moved his hand to grab the rest of his hair, he could see how his entire hair had turned white.
At this point, Bai Chen’s hands were even trembling as he held onto his hair. “In the past, one of my dreams was to have white hair like my father and brother so that people would stop looking down on me, but now when I finally get white hair like theirs, I don’t feel happy at all. This hair... belongs to Bai Lang, right?”
That was the reason why Bai Chen didn’t look pleased even after his brown hair turned white just like what he used to yearn for. He still remembered what happened between him and Bai Lang before he was kicked out of the white space. Bai Lang gave him two crystals, and Bai Chen could guess that his white hair was caused by the presence of Bai Lang’s crystals in his body.
.....
But, thinking of Bai Lang only made him sad, and that was why he sighed heavily as he let go of his white hair. Somberly, he closed his eyes to control his emotions, but before long, he opened them again.
“I better get out of this forest now. I have no business being here anyway,” he muttered to himself as he prepared to leave the forest. Once again, he shifted his gaze to look around him.
He was in the core area of the forest, but the high-level beasts were no longer around, and it felt like there had been great changes in the forest. Deep inside, he didn’t know when he would return to this forest after leaving this place, and that was why he silently bid farewell to the forest.
Bai Chen finally started to bring his feet to leave the core of the forest. He didn’t know his way out of the forest, but somehow his feet moved lightly in one direction. At this moment, Bai Chen couldn’t help but think that even his feet were no longer his. Sure enough, his feet were also affected by the existence of Bai Lang’s crystals in his body, and that’s why they seemed familiar with the forest.
And it only took him less than half an hour to reach the forest entrance. When it came to the forest entrance, the area was quite familiar to Bai Chen, and that was why he didn’t hesitate to bring his feet towards the barrier around the forest.
Yes, the semi-transparent barrier was still there, probably having been repaired by the cultivators from Wu Li who had left the forest before him, but Bai Chen didn’t want to think about that as he continued to swing his feet toward the barrier.
But then he frowned in surprise when he could see a few people behind the barrier. “Why are they still there? Didn’t Bai Lang ask them to leave this forest?” He muttered to himself as he recognized the three people standing outside the barrier.
He recognized them as his allies, and that was why he didn’t stop walking and continued moving toward the barrier. Finally, he stood right in front of the barrier, and the three people could also see his presence. But the three people didn’t look happy after seeing him.
With a barrier separating the three people from Bai Chen, one of them broke the silence, “Why are you still here? Where is Bai Chen? Didn’t you say you would let Bai Chen come back to me as long as I listen to your orders?”
Bai Chen was taken aback when he heard the questions. The barrier was there to separate him from the three people, but he could see all three figures, and he could also hear the voice of one of them. However, he didn’t understand why that person suddenly asked those questions after seeing him.
“What are you saying, Wu Jinhai? Can’t you recognize that it’s me?” Annoyed, Bai Chen asked back instead of answering.
Yes, the person who asked the questions just now was Wu Jinhai, and standing on his right and left were Yu Ming and Wu Jingguo. Bai Chen didn’t pay attention to Yu Ming and Wu Jingguo, and he only focused on his lover who failed to recognize him.
Even after hearing his reply, a frown remained on Wu Jinhai’s forehead as the man in red scanned Bai Chen’s appearance from head to toe.
Until finally, the pair of brown eyes locked onto the pair of blue ones as their owner asked, “So, you are really Bai Chen? But why is your hair white now? It was the Immortal Elder who previously had white hair, right? Where’s he now?”
Instead of answering his question, Wu Jinhai threw a series of questions at him, but Bai Chen only focused on the last question as he replied, “The Immortal Elder has passed away.”
