Once Li Xiu's scent was erased by Bai Wu, the young man became rather happy. When he stood near Xu Lan, the only scent he could smell was that of his own. With a broken heart he licked the slap mark but at the same time, he gleefully wagged his tail. Its robustness nonchalantly beat against the river's surface causing white water sprays to form.
"It's okay. We'll search slowly. Surely we'll be able to find it." Bai Wu's consolation enabled Xu Lan's tensed up face to begin relaxing.
"Papa." Bai Wu stopped licking. The young man's dragon state was far from adorable. Instead, it brought about an innate augustness and grandeur. "You must stay by my side forever."
Bai Wu place his head on Xu Lan's shoulder and made that statement after stopping his act of licking.
"Mm… I will." Xu Lan looked at those beautiful eyes and nodded.
'Oh Bai Wu, you're asking me to give you my life.'
