Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

98 WALK ALONE, DIE ALONE

Of course, it was not the first time Bai Chen had heard of the Wu Li Empire. Earlier today, he got a notification from the system when he saw the Emperor of Wu Li standing together with the Emperor of Dong Lang.

Bai Chen knew that Wu Li was holding an important part in this event, and it was no wonder that the soldier from before was anxiously inquiring about the Prince’s well-being.

Yes, the soldier did use ‘Your Highness’ when asking the question, but the question was directed to the other Prince, not to Prince Bai Chen.

The second Prince of Dong Lang Empire also remembered how the Emperor of Wu Li said that his eldest son would participate in this event, and it was understandable that the soldier from before looked panicked when he witnessed how the precious Prince of Wu Li was willing to risk his life to save the useless Prince of Dong Lang.

Now Bai Chen could understand the situation, and he only realized that his hand was still in the man’s grasp because the man had just saved him a second time.

“Thank you for saving me,” Bai Chen showed his gratitude shyly as he pulled his hand away from the man’s grip. For some reason, he felt intimidated by the taller man, and he didn’t even dare to face the man.

That man was Wu Li’s eldest Prince, so he must have the same status as Bai Renshu. Both of them were Crown Princes of the two empires, and Bai Chen knew that he must not offend the man if he did not want to bring trouble to himself.

“Let’s cross the bridge and talk while we’re in the Forbidden Forest. You don’t want to slip off the bridge a second time, do you?” The man wearing the golden mask responded to the Werewolf Prince.

Bai Chen felt like slapping his forehead because he almost forgot his real purpose for coming here. He had come to participate in the Beast Hunting Event that would take place in the Forbidden Forest, but he still stood like a puppet on the old bridge.

.....

What’s more, the Prince of Wu Li even mentioned the incident when he almost gave his life to the grim reaper earlier, and Bai Chen felt embarrassed about it.

He knew that standing on the bridge was quite risky for a clumsy person like him, so Bai Chen immediately nodded his head before turning around and starting to walk on the bridge again.

This time, he was very careful while crossing the bridge, but he was a little nervous knowing that the Prince of Wu Li was walking right behind him.

The fact that the man named Wu Jinhai was willing to save him was a shock to him. He was a nobody, and even the imperial soldiers paid him no heed, but a person of high status in the Wu Li Empire was still willing to risk his life for him.

On top of that, he also thought that he was the last person to cross the bridge, so he didn’t expect someone to suddenly appear to save him like a hero in a movie.

Even the system did nothing to save him, but a stranger was willing to pull him away from Hell.

When he finally crossed the bridge, Bai Chen almost breathed a sigh of relief if he didn’t remember that he was in the Forbidden Forest right now. Even if he knew that the old bridge was indeed dangerous, he also knew that the forest was actually more dangerous than the bridge.

Right after he and Wu Jinhai entered the forest, the imperial soldiers immediately put up another barrier around the forest, and the participants in the forest would not be able to leave before the event ended.

{DING!

CONGRATULATIONS ON COMPLETING THE MISSION ‘PARTICIPATE IN THE BEAST HUNTING EVENT AS THE IMPERIAL PALACE’S REPRESENTATIVE’!

200 POINTS HAVE BEEN AWARDED TO THE HOST!

CURRENT POINTS: 300}

Bai Chen had never felt so rich before, but when he saw the number 300 on the see-through screen, he was as happy as if he was the richest person on Earth.

But then he realized that he couldn’t be so proud of his points because he was in such a dangerous place right now.

Bai Chen was nervous as he cast his eyes to scan his surroundings. It was his first time entering the Forbidden Forest, and he knew that the forest was different from the one he had walked through when he returned from the Red Pavilion.

The forest near the snow mountain looked ordinary with lots of trees and animals, and even sunlight could still penetrate the thick leaves in that forest. However, when he was in the Forbidden Forest, he somehow felt a different feeling as he looked around him.

The trees in the Forbidden Forest were much bigger than the trees in the forest he had visited before, and they were also so tall that Bai Chen couldn’t see the tops of the trees. The leaves were very thick, and little light couldn’t easily penetrate them even though it was still day.

Bai Chen knew that the forest was not just an ordinary forest, and he also knew that the animals in the forest were also abnormal. ‘There may not be any normal animals in this forest because there are only dangerous beasts here,’ he corrected himself.

The Forbidden Forest was known for the beasts that lived there, so Bai Chen was sure that normal animals wouldn’t be able to live there.

He knew that danger was waiting for him, and he nervously gripped the sword as if his life depended on it. He knew that his sword was just trash, but he could only grasp it now.

He could see the other participants starting to wander around. Some of them walk alone in search of their prey, and some of them walk in groups. Even if the competition was individual, he could see that people from several sects preferred to go around in groups.

Bai Chen could also see Shao Meihui with the three guards following her, and his eyes lit up as he decided to walk toward the girl. Even if the girl didn’t like him, Bai Chen thought that he should join the girl so that he could gain protection from the guards.

That was a sneaky idea, but he did it anyway because he was too desperate.

“Young Lady Shao!” He called the girl’s name, and the girl turned to him with a frown on her forehead. It was clear that the girl didn’t like him, but Bai Chen was still smiling when he stopped in front of the girl. “Your father said that we should be together when we are in this forest, so we better do as he said,” he added.

Bai Chen sounded like he cared about Shao Yaoting’s words when they were about to leave the palace, but he actually only cared about his safety. Call him selfish, but he convinced himself that it was just his way of protecting himself.

“Why should we listen to my father’s words?” Shao Meihui surprisingly returned. “And you better stop acting like you’re a gentleman in front of me. I know you’re acting like this just to seek protection from me and these guards.”

The girl spoke to him harshly, and Bai Chen widened his eyes in surprise when he heard those words. Today was their first day meeting each other, but it seemed the girl could read him well.

Even if Bai Chen pretended as if he cared about Shao Yaoting’s words, he couldn’t fool Shao Meihui in the end.

“And if you want to get protection from these guards, then you can take them with you. I don’t need protection from them.”

Bai Chen gasped when he heard the black-haired girl continue talking to him. He looked down on Shao Meihui just because she was a girl, but it turned out that the girl was so brave that she dared to wander around the treacherous forest without protection.

The girl’s boldness tickled Bai Chen’s pride, and he gritted his teeth as he replied, “No, you can take these guards with you. I can protect myself, so I don’t need guards to protect me.”

Bai Chen sounded like he was imitating what Shao Meihui had just said, but unlike Shao Meihui who had fighting abilities, he had nothing on his body, and he said that only because he wanted to save his pride.

Meanwhile, Shao Meihui didn’t reply to him verbally, and the girl just smirked at him one last time before leaving him and continuing walking with the three guards.

Bai Chen sighed heavily as he plunged his sword into the ground and crouched down while holding it tightly. “Maybe I should walk alone and die alone in this forest,” he muttered to himself while cursing his luck.

He was very desperate, but then he heard laughter coming from behind.

“Why do you have to walk and die alone when I’m here?”
