My Boyfriend Is A Dragon Chapter 168 - I Love You

Under Xu Lan’s guidance, Bai Wu landed on a cliff. The sky was pitch black, but light from the houses of people who resided at the foot of the mountain shone faintly like stars. Nighttime on the mountain was exceptionally cold, prompting one to s.h.i.+ver continuously. At that moment, Xu Lan’s emotions and the circ.u.mstances they were in made him want to hide Bai Wu away in the mountain. He wondered if the others would come searching for them.

“Achoo!” Xu Lan ma.s.saged his nose and looked around him. He could not see a thing! When they were in the air, he could at least see the dense white stones. There was nothing he could do on the cliff except for bearing the brunt of the cold! Not even a cave was present! It was more miserable than the previous time they were there!

“Papa, are you alright?” Bai Wu pulled him into an embrace and asked dearly.

“I’m alright. Can you see your surroundings clearly? Do you see anything?” Xu Lan asked, thinking that members of the dragon clan should have good eyesight.

“Well, there’s like a bamboo basket and a bunch of squirming worms inside. We shouldn’t be in any danger for now, but it’s too high up. We can only wait till daybreak tomorrow, ’cause Papa can only give me directions then.” Bai Wu’s scales felt painful to Xu Lan, but he did not dare to move away for fear that Bai Wu would interpret the action as repulsion toward the dragon form.

Xu Lan’s had guessed correctly: when Bai Wu was in full form, his eyes could see the surrounding with clarity, even in the dark of night. He even had a pair symmetrical pores on his mandible bones; pores which had the ability to sense heat. Through particles floating in the air, Bai Wu was able to sense anything within a one-hundred-meter radius without needing to use his eyes.

His pores were also the reason why he could still fly despite being acrophobic. After Xu Lan knew about all that, Bai Wu received quite a fair bit of mocking!

“So, do we have a place to stay tonight?” Xu Lan asked probingly. Then he thought to himself, ‘Why are there so many bamboo baskets here? Could there be someone living here?’

“We’ll look around. There’s no houses or caves here.” Since both of them had spent so much time with each other, Xu Lan’s influence had rubbed off considerably on Bai Wu. In an instant, Bai Wu understood what Xu Lan meant.

Bai Wu initially wanted to bring Xu Lan over whilst still in the dragon form. He was so happy that he got carried away, displaying his true form instinctively. If the area was big enough, he would definitely have brought Xu Lan to the air. However, the s.p.a.ce between the bamboo baskets were barely enough – between each one was a distance of just over a meter – and if Bai Wu walked past them, he would surely knock them over!

“There’s no one here. Why did you transform back?” Xu Lan asked perplexedly, as the dense pressure faded away.

“It’s too narrow here. Let’s just continue.” Bai Wu answered briefly and headed to the mountain while holding Xu Lan’s hand.

During their journey, Bai Wu did not cease talking, not even for a short moment. Patiently, he pestered Xu Lan with a barrage of questions: ‘When did Papa like me?”What does Papa think of Xiao Feng and w.a.n.g Meng?”How did Papa realize that Papa likes me as a lover?’ and so on, so forth.

Xu Lan let Bai Wu twirl their fingers together and used the most succinct of replies to avoid the question. Every single time Bai Wu repeated them, Xu Lan would roll his eyes and slap the hand that was holding his own.

At first, Bai Wu was asking Xu Lan fearfully if something had happened. Xu Lan simply kept quiet the whole time. It was only later that Bai Wu understood: Papa was shy!

“Papa, I feel really happy today, so happy I could fly!” He continued rattling away.

“I KNOW. You already flew,” Xu Lan replied helplessly. Before then, he never noticed that Bai Wu was such a tireless chatterbox.

“Ummmm…Papa, I love you.” Bai Wu turned his head all of a sudden and confessed emotionally.

“Who’s there!”
