During this period, Bai Yanlang continuously improved his strength and expanded his influence.

Until the X organization's headquarters was destroyed, weakening Bai Lingyun's power, Bai Yanlang seized control of the Bai family.

From then on, Bai Yanlang truly took control of his own destiny.

Moonlight streamed through the window and shone on Bai Yanlang's face, making the hideous scar appear less grotesque.

As dawn approached, Bai Yanlang drifted into a dream again, this time a dream that hadn't happened yet, a dream from a previous book.

He dreamed that Lu Yishan saved him, and he fell in love with Lu Yishan. He was willing to give up everything for Lu Yishan. In the end, he risked everything to save Lu Yishan, even though he didn't have any hope of survival when he went to save her.

However, he and Lu Yishan both survived, but Bai Jian, who had always been behind him silently and who would rush to his side the moment he was in danger, passed away.

In his dream, he seemed to feel a pang of pain in his heart the moment he saw Bai Jian's body, as if he had lost something very important.

Only after Bai Jian passed away did he realize what it meant to appreciate something only after you've lost it.

When the night is quiet, he always thinks of Bai Jian who is by his side, and he tosses and turns, unable to fall asleep.

The first rays of morning sunlight awakened the White Wolf from his dream, waking him from his nightmare.

Bai Yanlang, who had just woken up, subconsciously touched his chest. It hurt and felt stuffy, making it hard for him to breathe.

I want to see Bai Jian.

Disregarding her image, she hurriedly got out of bed and went to find Bai Jian.

Opening the door, I saw the person I had tossed and turned for countless days and nights, the person I had longed for.

As dawn broke, Bai Jian went back to her room to wash up and then waited outside.

Bai Yanlang unconsciously clenched his fists and hugged Bai Jian tightly, feeling her body temperature before he could believe that Bai Jian was not dead.

She murmured softly, "Bai Jian, you're still alive. That's wonderful."

Bai Jian was stunned, dumbfounded, and her soul seemed to leave her body!

The master hugged her!

The master hugged her!

She had never been so close to her master.

She was so close that she could feel her master's warm breath and hear his pounding heartbeat.

Bai Jian stood with her hands hanging at her sides, nervously asking, "Master...Master, what...what's wrong?"

Bai Yanlang released Bai Jian, took two steps back, and said in a gentle voice, "It's nothing. I just had a bad dream. My apologies."

No rush, take your time, they have plenty of time.

Bai Jian's mind was completely focused on Bai Yanlang's closeness to her, and she didn't notice the change in Bai Yanlang's tone at all.

Bai Yanlang looked down at himself, still wearing his pajamas, and said, "Come in first and wait for me. We'll have dinner together later."

After saying that, he went inside, leaving the door open and waiting for Bai Jian to come in.

Bai Jian was even more stunned. What had she just heard?

Is what the master meant the way she thought?

Her master invited her to dinner?

After Bai Yanlang changed his clothes, Bai Jian was still feeling a little smug.

With a slight smile, she said, "It's getting late, let's go eat!"

Bai Jian came to her senses and noticed that Bai Yanlang wasn't wearing a mask today.

"Master, your...your mask?"

"I won't wear it anymore. It's just a scar, nothing serious. If you don't like it, I can get scar removal surgery."

Bai Jian hurriedly said, "No, no, no... I dare not."

Bai Yanlang, in a playful mood, put on a stern face and said, "Are you afraid, or do you really find it unbearable?"
