Chapter 239: Burning with Anger

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Xu Lan? Why are you here?” Ka Daiwen looked indignantly at Xu Lan, who was panting and rus.h.i.+ng toward her.

“YOU! Him! How is he? What happened?” Xu Lan leaned against the wall and asked urgently. He glanced worryingly in the direction of the emergency room.

“He b.u.mped into some thugs and was beaten up.” One succinct sentence was enough for Ka Daiwen to summarize Bai Wu’s day.

“h.e.l.lo? Qin Lao. Send over Liang Yu to the city hospital. Your research subject is here.” Xu Lan speedily took out his phone, called Qin Lao, then dragged Ka Daiwen over to the information desk.

“What are you doing!” Ka Daiwen tried feebly to break free of Xu Lan’s grip, but her efforts were futile.

Not only that her body was covered with bloodstains, but it was also covered in cuts too. It was as if something sharp had slashed against her skin. A high-waisted belt was holding up her skin-tight clothes, but her clothes were fairly ragged and barely able to cover up her round, towering a.s.sets. Meanwhile, her black booty shorts were so soaked that blood could be wrung out of it. A scabbard was fastened on her thigh, and when Xu Lan came over, she was in the midst of disinfecting herself with alcohol. Surprisingly, she bought it with the money that she had on her.

“Why aren’t you letting me make a phone call? We’ll be making the headlines in Whitehorse tomorrow if we simply barge in and appear here in the hospital!” Xu Lan grabbed a curtain from G.o.d-knows-where and used it to cover Ka Daiwen’s body. He subsequently brought her to the emergency room.

“Which is more important? A headline or a life? Bai Wu’s battle with those thugs left him nearly dead. Can’t I send him to the hospital?” Her anger aggravated her scar and the sudden onslaught of pain made her grimace.

“F*ck! So, you DO know that life is important! Then why don’t you f*cking know how to treat your own wounds!”

“Ay, here I can’t…” Before Ka Daiwen could process why Xu Lan got so angry suddenly, she was already placed on a bed. The doctor that subsequently came in was then threatened by Xu Lan: he ordered the doctor to clean up her wounds and give her an emergency blood transfusion. By the time she woke up, she was red-faced and staring at the doctor. Xu Lan was long gone, and she surmised that he was rus.h.i.+ng to see Bai Wu.

Eventually, the matter did not become the next day’s headlines. It was not because the news did not spread fast enough, but rather, Qin Lao was able to suppress it. Right when the doctors were unable to find a match for Bai Wu’s blood type, Liang Yu had just reached the hospital.

On that occasion, there was no need to build a rock-hard laboratory, since they did not need to worry about Bai Wu’s resistance toward the research. It yielded a number of results, and Qin Lao had endless praise for Xu Lan’s compromise. He was so happy that there was even a bounce in his step. He was smiling and waving at just about anybody he met.

“Tch, shameless businessman.” Xu Lan sneered despicably while sitting beside Bai Wu.

Ka Daiwen omitted from telling what exactly happened to Bai Wu, for she feared that it would make everyone feel even more agitated.

Both of Bai Wu’s brow ridges were broken and his right eye socket was deeply indented, causing his right eye to protrude outward in a frightening manner. His nose bridge was broken and askew, while his left cheekbone was split open. Three of his ribs were broken, a large part of his back was burnt, and there was also a crack in his shoulder blade. There were visible wounds on his tail and his left calf bone had ruptured.

Xu Lan’s eyes became red just by looking at Bai Wu’s wounded human state. He wished he could uncover the ident.i.ties of those inhumane thugs immediately and execute them by placing them in front of a firing squad for ten minutes. When he saw that Bai Wu, unable to maintain his human form due to his poor condition, was reverting back to his dragon form, Xu Lan fell onto the ground. Like a madman, he grabbed Ka Daiwen and begged her to tell him which shameless evil dragon was responsible for the injuries!

Bai Wu’s strong and powerful wings sustained grave damage; they were bitten off and mutilated to an unrecognizable state. There were teeth on his st.u.r.dy tail, and his claws were stripped of skin and flesh, revealing only his white bones. His left leg curled under his body. The pain was so severe that it elicited a groan and heavy breaths. Pieces of flesh had been gouged out of his chest, and they were torn to shreds. Strips of it were dangling from his abdomen like fish bait. No part of his body was left untouched: it was either burn marks, knife wounds, or scars resulting from dragon claws.

Even in that state, Bai Wu still risked his life to save Ka Daiwen from the army of warrior dragons. As soon as he found the dimension that Xu Lan was in, he fainted.

“Xu Lan! Calm down!” Ka Daiwen grabbed Xu Lan’s collar and tried to forcefully restrain him.

“F*ck your mother! Calm down? You want me to calm down? How do you expect me to calm down!” Both of Xu Lan’s eyes were blood-red. His neck began reddening too as he gnashed his teeth loudly.

“That’s why he didn’t want you to see him like this! I should’ve listened to him and brought you here after his wounds were healed! Do you think you can win in a fight against them? Those monstrous experiments? Those elite members of the dragon clan? What do you expect to do if you find them!”

“I’ll bomb them all!” Despite the cold sweat saturating his s.h.i.+rt, Xu Lan’s burning anger dried them up again. Blue veins were popping out of his head while his hand pushed Ka Daiwen away fiercely and emphatically.
