Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

81 A FEAST WITH HUMAN FLESH

The bright red moved away from him, and the pair of blue eyes continued to stare at how the broad back was getting further away from him.

It felt like the atmosphere in the palace turned dull once again after the bold colors gradually left the palace. Even if most of the buildings in the palace were also red, they could not be compared to the bright color of the person called Zhu Ge.

Maybe not only the clothes that succeeded in coloring the boring atmosphere, but the presence of that person also helped dispel the gloominess in the palace.

It felt like a part of Bai Chen’s heart wanted to pull the man closer to him and not let him move away from him. That was ridiculous, and Bai Chen didn’t even know why he could think so melancholy like that.

Bai Chen was not a sweet-mouthed man in his previous life.

He did whisper sweet nothings into his girlfriend’s ear before finally dying and being transmigrated into this world, but that was only because he wanted to get the most precious treasure from the girl.

He did treat his girlfriend gently at the time, but that was because he wanted to seek pleasure from the girl.

Bai Chen would give if anyone was willing to pay, and that was why he treated his girlfriend gently because he thought that the girl would pay for it with her virginity.

Perhaps that was indeed the greatest sin he carried from his previous life, and perhaps Bai Lang was right to punish him for that sin.

.....

“That bastard keeps acting like a thug. Does he think I’d be scared just because of his weak threat?” The silence around Bai Chen was broken by Ma Qiao’s voice, and Bai Chen turned to the servant with a frown on his forehead.

Ma Qiao was acting very aggressive now that Zhu Ge was gone, but he looked like he was going to pee his pants when the young man was still with them in front of Jing Pavilion. The servant’s actions caused Bai Chen to laugh.

“He’s not a thug, but he’s just a prostitute,” Bai Chen corrected the servant jokingly.

“Aiyah!” Ma Qiao suddenly exclaimed. “So, you still remember that Zhu Ge is a prostitute, Your Highness? If you do remember, then why did you let him be so close to you earlier? You even let him kiss your forehead! You two acted so romantically and sweetly towards each other earlier, and I got goosebumps all over my body!”

Ma Qiao scolded him, and Bai Chen heard how the servant mentioned the kiss on his forehead earlier. It was just a simple mention, but Bai Chen’s forehead suddenly warmed as if Zhu Ge’s kiss was still lingering there.

And maybe the kiss was still there because Bai Chen could still feel the sensation of the lips pressed against his forehead.

“I don’t think Zhu Ge is that bad,” Bai Chen replied as he looked ahead again. Unfortunately, that pair of blue eyes no longer met the bright red. “He’s very flirtatious and clumsy, but I don’t think he’s that bad.”

Bai Chen’s brain told him not to trust Zhu Ge easily because that man was suspicious, but his heart dared to rebel by telling him that Zhu Ge was not a bad person. At this point, Bai Chen didn’t know which to believe.

In his previous life, he was a person who always thought with logic, but after transmigrating to this world, he used his heart more often. He didn’t know if it could be considered good or bad.

“You can’t just trust a slut from the Red Pavilion, Your Highness!” Ma Qiao once again rebuked the young Prince. “I heard that some prostitutes from the Red Pavilion are criminals, and they can even steal their customers’ wallets when they spend the night together. You can’t just trust Zhu Ge because he might be the same as those criminals!”

It was new information about this world that he had just heard from his servant, but such information was nothing new to Bai Chen.

In his previous life, he had often heard about crimes involving prostitutes. Those people could even kill their customers just to get their wallets, so that kind of information didn’t surprise Bai Chen.

“Zhu Ge stayed in this palace for days but he didn’t take anything from me. He even returned to the human empire just to take some spare clothes for himself, and when he left my palace, he didn’t take anything from here either,” Bai Chen replied.

“Aiyah!” Ma Qiao once again exclaimed, but before he could say anything, Bai Chen suddenly raised his hand to ask the servant to stop.

Bai Chen wouldn’t easily trust people, and he didn’t need anyone to remind him of how dangerous someone was. Therefore, he didn’t want to hear any more words from the servant.

In the end, Ma Qiao couldn’t help but frown after seeing the sign from the Prince.

“I remember you said that you had hired someone to help me prepare for the event because Zhu Ge couldn’t stay here to help me,” Bai Chen suddenly returned to his business manner. “Where’s the guy? I only have two weeks before the event, and I can’t waste any more time.”

Silently, Bai Chen cursed Zhu Ge. The man had agreed to help him two days ago, but he had not actually taught him anything before leaving the palace. They did go to the stables, but instead of letting him ride the horse alone, the two of them ended up riding the horse together.

The memory was annoying but tickling at the same time. Yes, the memory tickled Bai Chen’s stomach, and for some reason, he ended up longing for Zhu Ge even if the man had just left a few minutes ago.

‘What the hell? I’m a man, and Zhu Ge is also a man, so why should I miss him?’ The brown-haired prince shook his head furiously to shake off the crazy thought.

“Ah, about that...” Ma Qiao replied, and it managed to distract Bai Chen from his thought. “I did indeed hire a second-ranked werewolf to help you prepare for the event, but he can only start teaching you this afternoon, Your Highness. You still remember that a second-ranked werewolf has combat abilities, right? That guy works as an imperial soldier, and that’s why he can’t leave his post any time he wants.”

Bai Chen still remembered the werewolf rank, and he also remembered that the second-ranked werewolf meant that the person could shapeshift and fight.

He didn’t even know what kind of person Ma Qiao had chosen for him, but he was sure it would be fine as long as that person was capable of fighting.

In Bai Chen’s eyes, the Beast Hunting Event was no different from a survival game, and in order to survive, he needed the ability to fight the beasts in the Forbidden Forest.

Sighing before nodding his head, Bai Chen spoke to his servant again, “You also said that the werewolf will start to undergo changes to his body tonight, right? What kind of changes do I usually go through?”

“Eh?” Ma Qiao blinked in confusion when Bai Chen finished asking the question. “You don’t know what kind of changes you usually go through, Your Highness?”

Bai Chen was dumbfounded when he heard Ma Qiao’s question. He had forgotten that the real Bai Chen in this world experienced full moon nights for more than two decades before he transmigrated into this world, and the real Bai Chen definitely knew what kind of changes he had gone through during that time.

Now Bai Chen was waiting for the system alert, but instead of hearing a mechanical sound, his ears caught Ma Qiao’s voice again.

“But I also can’t answer your question because you usually only stayed inside Jing Pavilion for two whole weeks, Your Highness. Don’t tell me that you can’t even remember the condition of your body during that period? I heard that something like that could happen to some werewolves.”

Bai Chen was worried that his question earlier would make Ma Qiao suspicious of him, but the servant’s last statement reassured him that he was not acting strangely in front of the man.

“You’re right. I don’t remember what happened to me when I stayed in my pavilion during that period,” Bai Chen replied. “But, I also don’t remember whether I told you my reason for staying in my pavilion or not. Do you know my reason?”

Bai Chen tried his luck when he questioned the servant. He wasn’t sure if his servant would find him strange or not, and he anxiously waited for the man to answer his question.

“You did tell me, Your Highness,” the older man finally answered. “You locked yourself in the pavilion because you didn’t want to eat human flesh. You still remember that the Rongyao Imperial Palace always holds a feast on the night of the full moon, right? In that feast, the royal family and officials will eat human flesh.”
