Xu Lan stopped Qin Lao from taking the backseat and directed him to the passenger seat. He did so in a respectful yet threatening manner.

“I’m old and my heart can’t take the shock from being seated at the passenger seat,” explained the old man.

“Don’t worry about it, you’ll be fine. Aren’t you confident in Liang Yu’s driving skills? I’m more concerned about you being injured by Bai Wu’s transformation. He’s quite unstable lately.” Chuckled Xu Lan.

He was unsure as to when the crack would appear. Hence, he remained constantly on guard.

Qin Lao shook his head and put on his seat belt, without forgetting to remind Liang Yu to drive slowly.

Perhaps he was drained by the intense crying session, Bai Wu fell asleep in the car. On the highway, they sped past countless skyscrapers in G City. In no time, they arrived at the foot of Qinglong Mountains and drove along the mountain range.

“Heh heh heh…” The void expanded its bloody mouth and smiled at Bai Wu in a horrifying manner.

“Shoo! Go away!” Bai Wu waved his hand and murmured. He found a comfortable position and fell into a deep slumber again.

Qin Lao looked at the duo from the rearview mirror and was glad that he was not seated at the back. Xu Lan was right next to the window and there was barely any room for him at all. Maybe Xu Lan was right after all, Bai Wu should not be spoilt!

Xu Lan tensed up — Bai Wu would only say that to Li Xiu and the void. Seeing how Li Xiu was locked up in the jail at G City, it seemed like the void had made its appearance!

Xu Lan observed his surroundings and noticed a black ballooning ball of matter on the glass opposite of him.

Xu Lan took out his phone and threw it over to test the water. The phone disappeared without a sound. The void seemed to be motivated and grew slightly bigger. Xu Lan’s sideburns were soaked in sweat and he had to keep trying to dry it.

“Are you not feeling well?” Qin Lao turned and asked.

“Ah? No, no. It’s just too warm in here.” Xu Lan’s throat tightened and even his voice was hoarse.

“Hot?” Qin Lao frowned in confusion. “Liang Yu, roll down the windows. It seems like…”

“No need! There’s no need for it. I ate something wrong last night. My stomach is acting up now and I’m embarrassed by it, so…” Xu Lan stopped him in his track and scratched his head.

“…”

“…”

“Whew.” Xu Lan breathed a sigh of relief when the duo let it slide. He moved Bai Wu toward the window.

Before the void reappeared, Bai Wu woke up.

“Papa? This!”

There was a loud bam! The window shattered and Bai Wu boiled with anger. His air of hostility battled against the void. Xu Lan tried to speak to Bai Wu but Bai Wu did not hear him. Liang Yu’s car was thrown off balance by the sudden occurrence.

“Uh, I’ve mentioned that he’s been quite unstable lately. Why don’t we get down for a while?” Xu Lan said to Qin Lao.

“Papa! Stay away from me!” Bai Wu said with his teeth clenched. The void was growing bigger and there was a force pulling Bai Wu toward it.

“Oh, okay. Take your time and try to transform again?” Xu Lan stole a glance and saw that Liang Yu was focused on balancing the car. Qin Lao had been forewarned. Even though he kept turning his head toward the back worriedly, he probably did not notice anything.
