146 NO CRYSTAL ON HIS FOREHEAD

Once again, Ma Qiao looked hesitant after Bai Chen finished asking the question. Perhaps the old servant had foreseen the question, but it seemed that he still had some doubts in his heart before he could answer the question.

Bai Chen was sure that Ma Qiao knew how to answer his questions, and for some reason, he was also sure that the old servant knew a lot about his mother.

When he had just transmigrated to this world, the black-haired servant had told him that he had been with him since he was a child, so the servant must be quite familiar with his mother.

“Perhaps... I should tell you about the crystal in the werewolf’s body first, Your Highness. No one told you about it, and you surely didn’t read about it in books, right?” Even if doubt remained on Ma Qiao’s face, the old man finally managed to open his mouth to answer the question.

It wasn’t a direct answer he got from his servant, but Bai Chen assumed that he would have to be patient when he faced the people of this world. People like the Emperor and the Crown Prince were always impatient, but people like Ma Qiao always tested his patience.

“Yeah, I’m too lazy to read books that contain that kind of information, and I like it more if I can hear stories instead of reading books,” Bai Chen replied, and he was secretly grateful that the real Bai Chen in this world had a personality that made him look normal even though he didn’t know much about this world.

“I have guessed it, Your Highness,” replied the old servant. “If you really want to hear an explanation about the werewolf crystal, then I can try to explain it to you.”

“Sure, you can tell me more about the crystal,” Bai Chen was lucky that the servant was innocent, and the old man didn’t even feel suspicious even if he didn’t understand much of this world.

And after hearing the order from the brown-haired Prince, Ma Qiao started to tell him about how the werewolves from the White and Black Werewolf Clans were different from the other werewolves in Dong Lang.

.....

The reason behind the difference was the presence of two crystals within the bodies of werewolves who were part of the two great clans in Dong Lang. The other werewolves in Dong Lang only had one crystal in their bodies, and that crystal was the source of their life as well as the source of their strength.

The situation was different from the werewolves who were part of two clans. The werewolves who were part of the two clans had two crystals instead of just one crystal, and that was because their source of life as well as the source of their power was split into two crystals.

The two crystals were called the Life Crystal and the Power Crystal. As the name implied, their function was to be the source of life and power for the werewolves.

Those werewolves had two crystals on their bodies, and that was why they tended to be stronger than other werewolves outside the clans.

It also explained why the White and Black Werewolf Clans were the two strongest clans in the Dong Lang Empire, and they were also the ones who could fight for the throne while the other werewolves could only be spectators.

“I remember I told you that it was easy to distinguish werewolves from the two clans from other werewolves outside the clans, right, Your Highness?” Ma Qiao suddenly asked a question, and Bai Chen’s memory drifted to the moment when Ma Qiao told him that the werewolves of the two clans did have different traits from other werewolves.

Bai Chen had heard about it from his servant, but he still didn’t have the chance to hear the details related to the matter, so he could only stare at Ma Qiao curiously as he replied, “You told me about it during the full moon night. There were members of the Black Werewolf Clan back then, and you said that their appearance when they were in wolf form would be different from other wolves.”

Bai Chen was the one who managed to remember the information, but Ma Qiao was the one who looked proud after hearing the answer. “That’s right, Your Highness,” the servant confirmed while nodding his head. “The black wolf of the Black Werewolf Clan is indeed different from the other black wolves outside the clan, and that is because the wolves of the clan all have Power Crystals on their foreheads. Likewise, the wolves of the White Werewolf Clan also have Power Crystals on their foreheads when they are in wolf form.”

Ma Qiao had just given him a lengthy explanation, and Bai Chen took his time to understand every word the older man said.

He had a habit of acting recklessly before he could even understand someone’s words, and he often brought himself into trouble because of that habit. Therefore, he was carefully trying to understand his servant’s explanation this time.

His memories flew back to when he attended a feast at the Rongyao Imperial Palace on a full moon night. Back then, his mind wasn’t clear enough, so he had indeed missed some details about the other wolves present at the party.

However, he still remembered how the two great white wolves looked stunning among the other dark-colored wolves, and he also remembered seeing something resembling crystals on their foreheads.

Of course. He remembered that Bai Guowei and Bai Renshu had Power Crystals on their foreheads, but Bai Chen only realized it after he heard the explanation from his servant.

“I never knew about that,” the brunette Prince muttered to himself as he continued to frown.

He used his brain to work hard this time, and he even remembered when he had just turned into a wolf on the full moon night. He changed little by little then, but after he completely transformed into a big brown wolf, he immediately used his four legs to walk toward a mirror to see his reflection in the mirror.

Bai Chen had just recalled his memories, but then he widened his blue eyes after realizing that something was off.

“Ma Qiao, I didn’t see the crystal on my forehead when I was in wolf form. Does that mean, I don’t have the Power Crystal?” The Prince hastily questioned his servant after realization hit him.

He did not notice any crystals on his forehead when he checked his reflection in the mirror when the full moon occurred. He did turn into his wolf form at that time, but there was no crystal on his forehead.

He was part of the White Werewolf Clan, but he didn’t have a Power Crystal like the other werewolves in the clan had. Thus, Bai Chen started to form some theories in his little head.

“Why don’t I have a Power Crystal, Ma Qiao? Is it because I’m just an unwanted son of the Emperor? Is it because I’m only half-blood, not pure-blood?” That was the theory that formed in his head, and he immediately asked for confirmation from the old servant.

The servant once again looked nervous and hesitant, but Bai Chen didn’t want to let the matter go as he continued to stare at the older man. It seemed that Bai Chen was deliberately trying to intimidate the old man, and the poor man looked like he was about to cry.

“It’s... not like that, Your Highness!” Feeling the pressure from the piercing blue eyes that continued to stare at him, Ma Qiao finally opened his mouth to answer the question.

“If it’s not like that, then what is the explanation behind the absence of the Power Crystal on my forehead, Ma Qiao? I’m not even as strong as the other werewolves from the White and Black Werewolf Clans, and the reason behind that is because of the absence of the Power Crystal on my forehead, right?” Bai Chen asked again when he realized that his old servant was still reluctant to give a detailed explanation.

And his stubborn question only put more pressure on the old man, and the man even looked nervous as he tried to avoid the Prince’s blue eyes that suddenly appeared intimidating today.

Unfortunately, that pair of blue eyes didn’t want to let go of Ma Qiao’s dark eyes, and it was also a sign that the young man would not be willing to let his servant go before his servant told him the truth.

And Ma Qiao looked frustrated when he finally answered, “Aiyah! It’s not because you’re only half-blood that you don’t have a Power Crystal, Your Highness! Even if your mother was a human, you were born with two crystals in your body. You had a Life Crystal as well as a Power Crystal until you were six years old. At that time, you lost your Power Crystal because you accidentally gave it to another child!”
