Chapter 1540: A Gift

Alex sat in a somewhat busy diner, with a cup of coffee and some waffles in front of him. He had a newspaper in front of him and something large and rectangular to the side.

He drank his coffee and read the newspaper, watching the lives that the mortals lived around him. A life that should have been his but had been taken away from him without his choice.

He remembered being angry about it back then, but that anger remained no more.

Half a year passed by since Bai Jingshen went back to the Western continent. Alex had asked him to take Pearl with him so he could be with his family in the meantime, but he couldn't do so.

Only his body was strong enough to bear the force of the Qi that barred this world from the outside.

Now, the day of everyone's return to the Eastern Continent was coming closer and closer. Less than a month from now.
