Chapter 20: ZHU GE’S REVENGE?

From the system, he learned that he was only a third rank werewolf capable of only shapeshifting and teleporting. The system said that a prince should be ranked fourth and also capable of fighting apart from those two abilities, but he didn’t have that ability for reasons he didn’t know.

He did think that he was weak and useless because he was no different from the officials in the palace, but when he heard a stranger suddenly remind him of his weakness, he felt like he couldn’t hold back his anger anymore.

Bai Chen had tried to close his eyes as he started counting from one to five, but instead of disappearing, he only felt that his anger meter had increased. And when he opened his blue eyes again, he felt like punching Zhu Ge in the face because of what that man had just said to him.

“Are you mad at me?” The man in red even dared to ask despite knowing the situation.

“No,” Bai Chen replied with a sneer. “You were absolutely right about me being weak and useless, so I shouldn’t be mad at you.”

There was an obvious tension between them, and neither of them expected their journey to end like this.

Sighing heavily, Zhu Ge suddenly took out something from his sleeve before throwing it at Bai Chen. The latter caught the thing that was thrown at him, but he frowned because he didn’t know the content inside the small object.

.....

“I returned your money, so you can return to your palace using your teleportation power,” Zhu Ge spoke as if he could read Bai Chen’s mind, and the latter widened his eyes in surprise.

When Bai Chen used his hand to open the small object in his hand, he was astonished to see the many gold coins inside the purse-like object in this world.

Even if Zhu Ge didn’t say the details, Bai Chen knew that the coins were the payment he gave Yu Ming earlier, and there was only one meaning behind it. Zhu Ge didn’t want to follow him to his palace anymore.

‘If I can’t bring Zhu Ge to my palace, then I will fail my mission, and the system will deduct my points. My life will be in danger if I can’t bring this man to my palace,’ Bai Chen carried out careful calculations as his blue eyes remained on the pocket full of gold coins in his hand.

He was very surprised, and he just took his eyes off the pocket when he heard movement from the front. Looking ahead, he found Zhu Ge had already turned his body and was preparing to leave him alone.

Bai Chen panicked, and he immediately took a few steps forward until he could grab the man’s sleeve. “Please don’t leave me!” He was even willing to drop his pride as he begged.

Zhu Ge still had his back to the shorter man, and he only glanced at the man as he replied, “You can return to the Red Pavilion to find another companion, Your Highness. Perhaps what you need is someone who won’t offend you.”

Bai Chen bit his lower lip when he heard the coldness of Zhu Ge’s words. He was indeed offended by the human, but perhaps he had offended the human as well.

Tightening his grip on the man’s sleeve, Bai Chen continued to plead, “I only want you and not anyone else, and I apologize for my childish behavior earlier. Perhaps you are right that I couldn’t even detect the danger around me, and I am very grateful that you saved me.”

Bai Chen didn’t even care if Zhu Ge just lied to him to take advantage of him earlier. He just wanted to complete his mission to save his life, and he didn’t care about anything else.

However, Zhu Ge simply smirked at him before replying, “Why are you so eager to bring me back to your palace, Your Highness? You fainted when we were about to have sex last night, but you still want to take me to your palace? You want me to witness how you faint again?”

“...” Bai Chen couldn’t answer the questions.

He didn’t think about what happened last night, and he didn’t think about what would happen to them tonight either. He only thought about how to complete his mission, and he was willing to do anything for it.

“It was because I fainted last night that I became very curious about you, Zhu Ge,” Bai Chen replied, but he had stopped his role-playing as he called the taller man by his full name. “Last night was the first time I’ve fainted while having sex with someone, and maybe the reason for it is your charms.”

It was the bullshit he just emitted, but Bai Chen didn’t care. He was willing to pretend as if he had already had countless experiences with men in bed, and that was because he cared so much about his mission.

Zhu Ge didn’t seem to notice that Bai Chen was lying, and he finally turned around before using his index and middle fingers to caress the side of Bai Chen’s head. “So, you still want to take me to your palace?” He whispered teasingly, and the brown-haired man nodded his head in response. “I will give you one last chance, but you must do something for me, Your Highness.”

Bai Chen’s blue eyes almost sparkled when he heard that Zhu Ge agreed to give him one last chance, but he ended up frowning upon hearing the man’s next words. “What do I have to do for you?” He asked the taller man.

Perhaps Bai Chen had fallen into the trap he had set up, and Zhu Ge grinned in satisfaction before replying, “If you want me to go to the Jing Pavilion with you, then, can you kneel before me and beg me to go with you? This gege wants to see little ChenChen’s sincerity.”
