[It was finally confirmed that Bai Chen had guessed it accurately after he heard the woman speak again. At this moment, he was finally convinced that the woman was Tang Yanmei, the mother of the real Bai Chen in this world.
He had never actually met the woman because the woman had died several years ago, and she only appeared in the strange memory that suddenly crossed his mind a while ago, and that was why he failed to recognize her voice when he had just heard it.
However, after he took some time to think about it again, he finally knew that it was indeed Tang Yanmei who sounded really worried when her son fell unconscious by the river.
At this moment, Bai Chen recalled the memories of what happened to the real Bai Chen in this world before he accidentally lost his Power Crystal when he was only six. Little Bai Chen was thirsty when he was walking in the middle of the forest with his mother, and because of that, he asked his mother for permission to fetch water from the river. His mother allowed him, and he finally met the boy who almost drowned in the water.
Little Bai Chen was very brave, and that was why he immediately jumped into the river and tried to save the poor boy. After he tried so hard to pull the child out of the river, little Bai Chen innocently ‘kissed’ the child right on the lips, and that was when he inadvertently gave the boy his Power Crystal.
.....
After little Bai Chen lost his Power Crystal, he fell unconscious, and that was why he didn’t know what happened next. At this moment, it seemed that he was still unconscious, but he could hear what was happening around him.
It turned out that the boy who had almost drowned in the river had finally regained consciousness after receiving Bai Chen’s Power Crystal, and that was why Tang Yanmei sounded a little disappointed by that fact.
When her child was still in danger, the unknown boy looked like he was fine, and that was why Tang Yanmei sounded unhappy when she questioned the boy.
“W-what is a Power Crystal? I... I didn’t even know what it was, and I also didn’t know that this kid had given the crystal to me,” the boy sounded frightened as he replied to Tang Yanmei’s words.
Even if Bai Chen couldn’t open his eyes to see the boy’s expression, he could somehow imagine how the boy might almost cry when he innocently responded to the older woman.
“You also don’t know that ChenChen is a werewolf, right? For a werewolf, the Power Crystal is very important,” Tang Yanmei spoke again, and Bai Chen was certain that the boy had a confused expression on his face at the moment.
He thought the boy would ask the woman more about the Power Crystal, but to his surprise, the boy asked another question, “So, this kid’s name is ChenChen?”
Bai Chen did not expect that the innocent boy who was talking to Tang Yanmei would be more curious about the name than about the Power Crystal. ‘After all, he’s still very young, and maybe he doesn’t even understand what Tang Yanmei is talking about,’ he thought to himself.
“That’s my son’s nickname,” Tang Yanmei replied. “His real name is Bai Chen, and he is a Prince in Dong Lang. Have you heard of the Dong Lang Empire?”
While the woman’s voice was still filled with worry, she could still question the boy carefully. At that moment, Bai Chen could strangely feel how a soft palm touched his forehead even though all he could see was darkness. He thought that it might be Tang Yanmei who touched Bai Chen’s forehead with her smooth palm, and Bai Chen could somehow feel the warmth from that touch.
Perhaps the woman was still hoping for her son to wake up soon, and Bai Chen actually wanted to open his eyes too. However, he didn’t know how to do that, and that was why he could only enjoy the touch at the moment.
“ChenChen still has his eyes closed,” suddenly, the unknown boy replied to Tang Yanmei, but it was not an answer to the woman’s question.
At this moment, Bai Chen could feel how Tang Yanmei stopped caressing his forehead.
“That’s because ChenChen has lost the Power Crystal on his forehead. That’s why he’s become so weak now, and I don’t know how to immediately wake him up,” Tang Yanmei’s way of answering the boy’s words sounded extremely desperate, and Bai Chen knew that she must be miserable right now.
He also didn’t know how werewolves could heal themselves after losing their Power Crystals, but he did know that Bai Chen could still live after that incident, and that was why he wasn’t too worried about the continuation of the story that happened on the river bank.
“What if I return the Power Crystal to ChenChen? It’s in my body, right? Maybe I accidentally swallowed it into my stomach? You can try slicing my stomach to take the Power Crystal if it can save ChenChen.”
“...” Bai Chen widened his eyes after he heard the boy’s innocent statement, and he couldn’t even think of anything when he heard how the kid was even willing to slice his stomach to save Bai Chen.
Sure enough, Bai Chen knew that little Bai Chen was safe in the end, but he didn’t know what the boy’s fate would be in the end. Would the child die? Or could it be that the boy was able to survive until now?
“You can’t do that!” Tang Yanmei firmly answered the boy. “Perhaps the Power Crystal is indeed important, but it is not the only crystal in ChenChen’s body. Besides that crystal, ChenChen also has a Life Crystal, and that’s why I hope he can rely on it now. However, the situation is different with yours because you died before ChenChen accidentally saved you with his Power Crystal, so if you return the crystal to ChenChen, you will be the one to die.”]
