Master is tempting, come to my disciple's arms

It was quiet at night, with only one or two car horns honking occasionally, accompanied by the murmur of conversation. The people speaking seemed to deliberately lower their voices so as not to be too noisy.

Bai Li took a look at the taxi meter and was immediately shocked! She was so busy watching short videos in the car that she didn't notice the price on the meter. She was shocked when she saw it!

"Master, is your meter broken? Why is it so much more expensive this time? This price is enough for me to have two barbecue meals. This is not my first time riding in your car, and the prices were not this high before!"

Bai Li looked at the back of the driver's head and vented out his doubts and dissatisfaction. Naturally, his tone was not very good.

The driver said without even turning his head: "Young man, you should also look at the time now. What kind of car can you call at this time? You live in a remote and far place. If I hadn't added WeChat, I'd be lucky to be able to come!"

Bai Li stared at the meter with a depressed look on his face. Although he felt sad, what the other person said was true. It was his own fault that he lived so far away from the city so late. He would just consider it as a lesson learned. After all, every failure makes you wiser. He should not do it again next time. Bai Li comforted himself in his heart.

After quickly transferring the fare to the driver, the man's fair and handsome face showed a look of loneliness and exhaustion. After returning home and turning on all the lights, Bai Li sat down on the sofa tiredly. He had worked hard outside all day and had little money left for a taxi.

Since my parents divorced, I have been doing everything by myself. My mother would occasionally send me a message or transfer money to show her concern, but my father has not contacted me for a long time. I don't know if he has remarried outside, otherwise why would he ignore his son and not care about him at all?

The fatherly love he lacked since childhood could probably never be made up in this lifetime. Looking at the deserted room with few pieces of furniture, the word "home" was too strange and too distant to him. Other people's homes were warm and loving, but his home... was cold and without warmth.

After taking a casual cold shower to calm down, Bai Li curled up on the sofa in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, reading a novel recommended to him by his best friend.

The name of the novel is "The Revenge of the Desolate Demon Lord". This name has a strong middle school atmosphere, but it does not affect the content at all. The writing style is not excellent and gorgeous, but it just makes people want to read it. The content roughly tells the story of how a young man with the blood of the demon lord counterattacks in the world of cultivation and becomes the supreme master of the demon world and wins the favor of countless beauties. This familiar formula and routine made Bai Li quickly flip through two pages and put down the book.

Looking up at the clock on the wall, it was already late. Although Bai Li was a night owl and often stayed up late, it was better to rest early after a tiring day. After washing his face, Bai Li ran back to his room to have a good sleep.

I don't know how long I slept. I felt like I was in the Flaming Mountain. The temperature was abnormally high. Bai Li was awakened by the heat...

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and before he could recover, he was frightened by the scene in front of him!

The room was filled with smoke, and the flames were sweeping the curtains of the living room, burning everything that could be burned. Bai Li was coughing from the smoke. He wanted to get his phone but found it was still on the sofa in the living room. He wanted to run but his legs were weak. Bai Li fell to the floor. At the last moment of losing consciousness, he thought to himself that it was fine. Anyway, he had nothing to miss in this world. If he had any regrets, he probably did, but he didn't care.

He gradually fell into a coma and did not notice the novel on the sofa. Wufeng started up automatically and the book stopped at the first page.

Time seemed to be frozen here. Above the book, a faint light slowly emerged, starting from the top of the book and approaching and eroding along the side pages. In just a moment, the entire book was completely swallowed up by the light, leaving no trace behind.

The police later found out the cause of the fire. The neighborhood where Bai Li lived was an old neighborhood with many old wires. The maintenance workers did not regularly maintain the wires, which led to a tragedy. However, everyone else escaped, but Bai Li was the only one who stayed there forever...
