317 WHO ARE YOU?
He still remembered how most of the dogs kept by the fat woman named Mrs. Huang had black and brown coats, but that did not mean there weren’t a dog of different colors.
Surprisingly, there was a white dog in one of Mrs. Huang’s cages, and Bai Chen happened to be kept in that cage with several dogs including the small white dog with a pair of blue eyes.
Yes, the white dog was small compared to the other dogs in the cage, and maybe that was the reason why Bai Chen wasn’t too afraid of the little dog because it looked friendly, unlike the other vicious dogs that were kept in the same cage as him.
And what Bai Chen remembered most about the little white dog was how it always protected him when other dogs tried to hurt him. Of course, the other dogs did try to hurt Bai Chen at that time. After all, Bai Chen wasn’t their kind, and that was why the dogs had tried to bite him so many times during his stay in the kennel. Unexpectedly, the little white dog had always stepped forward to protect him from the ferocious dogs, and even though its size couldn’t be compared to the big dogs, miraculously, the white dog always won those fierce battles.

“You dared to give me that ridiculous name years ago, and even if I was annoyed, I could only spare you because you were cute back then,” Bai Lang replied, and even if it didn’t directly answer his previous question, Bai Chen knew that his guess was correct. Bai Lang was none other than Xiao Bai.
And just now Bai Lang had even indirectly praised him for being cute when he was a child, and that was why Bai Chen suddenly grinned widely. “I didn’t expect to see you again, Xiao Bai. I still remember the day when I was rescued by the police as well as the doctors. I was so scared, but I told them that they should save you too, but they didn’t find any white dogs at that time. I thought you were dead!”
The memory was quite hazy in Bai Chen’s head because he was still very young back then, and neither his mind nor physique was in a good state back then, which was why he didn’t remember everything that he experienced during his unfortunate childhood. However, somehow he still remembered everything related to the little white dog he called “Xiao Bai,” and that was why he also remembered how he felt when he heard from the police that they couldn’t find the dog back then.
“Did you think I would die easily, Bai Chen?” Bai Lang asked annoyedly. “I just thought that you didn’t need my protection anymore after being rescued, and that’s why I decided to stop using my physical body to protect you. Even so, I was still around you even if you couldn’t see me after you started a new life, Bai Chen. That’s why I can see all the sins you did in your previous life.”
.....
“…” Bai Chen swallowed nervously after hearing Bai Lang’s further explanation.
He still remembered how Bai Lang had managed to list what mistakes he had made in his previous life, and the little wolf had even said that those sins were the reason behind his death.
Wait. Bai Chen only realized something after remembering that moment.
“So, I died in the modern world not because I committed a lot of sins in that world, right, Xiao Bai? You purposely pulled my soul into this world because I actually belong to this world, right?”
“Don’t call me Xiao Bai! I’m not small, so you better show some respect, Bai Chen!”
“Aiyah! How can you say you’re not small, Bai Lang? In the modern world, you disguised yourself as a dog, but even after you returned to your wolf form, you were still small, and that’s why the name Xiao Bai fits you.”

It was obvious that the little wolf looked irritated but then sighed heavily before saying, “You’re right that I deliberately pulled your soul into this world, Bai Chen. You killed yourself in your past life, and the Gods in Heaven didn’t like how you foolishly ruined your destiny and that of many people at that time. The Gods were angry, and that’s why your soul was sent to the modern world, but you didn’t even have parents at that time. You just appeared in that world as a pitiful baby before you were taken by the people from the orphanage, and that was the punishment God gave you. Even people in that world thought that you were an illegitimate child because of your distinct appearance, right? That’s also your punishment.”
“...” Bai Chen’s face stiffened after Bai Lang gave him a very long explanation.
He did not have anyone during his childhood in the modern world. He could only remember the days when he lived in the orphanage, but he had no idea what had happened to him before. The people at the orphanage only said that he was an abandoned child, and no one knew his parents.
Now Bai Chen finally knew that he indeed had no parents in the modern world. Mrs. Huang only adopted him before he was adopted by a pair of doctors who helped him get back to his normal self after the traumatic moment he had when he lived with Mrs. Huang.
Bai Chen had learned the truth by now, and he could also understand why his soul was pulled into this world after he died in the modern world. This world was where he should be, and he must also correct the mistake he made years ago when he killed himself and destroyed everything here.
“I can understand everything now, Bai Lang,” the Werewolf Prince whispered weakly, and then his pair of blue eyes turned towards the wolf again as he said, “But I still don’t understand something from your story, Bai Lang. You said that you’ve been watching me since I killed myself in my past life, right? You also followed me to the modern world, and now I’m starting to feel curious. Who are you, Bai Lang?”
