258 TWO PURPOSES

Bai Chen once again managed to act as a smart donkey in front of Wu Jinhai when he could quickly guess what would happen if Wu Jinhai managed to get rid of the poison in his body that caused him to turn into a half-fish demon.

He could understand normal humans wouldn’t want to be half-demons, but he assumed that it was too risky if Wu Jinhai wanted to get rid of the poison and would eventually destroy the Black Bead that had been his life source ever since the Power Crystal was removed from his body.

Was Wu Jinhai risking his own life? In Bai Chen’s eyes, Wu Jinhai suddenly looked extremely crazy.

However, to Bai Chen’s surprise, Wu Jinhai suddenly giggled when he saw how Bai Chen looked panicked after hearing his explanation, and a few wrinkles even formed on the Werewolf Prince’s forehead.

“Stop frowning,” Wu Jinhai asked as he pulled his left hand from Bai Chen’s waist before using his pinky finger to smooth the wrinkles on the werewolf’s forehead. “I can see that you are very worried about me, but you don’t need to think too much about it because I definitely won’t die so easily.”

Hearing that confident statement, Bai Chen snorted before using his hand to grab Wu Jinhai’s left hand and pop the man’s little finger into his mouth. Yes, Bai Chen mercilessly bit the man’s little finger, causing the man to scream in pain.

“You said that you wouldn’t die so easily, but you even screamed so loudly just because I bit your little finger. Stop being so full of yourself, Wu Jinhai,” annoyed, Bai Chen rebuked the older man while letting go of the man’s left hand.

Even Wu Jinhai confirmed that his true personality was when he pretended to be Zhu Ge, and Bai Chen could see with his eyes that the man was indeed as shameless as when he pretended to be Zhu Ge.

Now Bai Chen really didn’t know how Wu Jinhai had managed to pretend to be a well-mannered guy all this time. Just because of the existence of the golden mask used to cover his face, Wu Jinhai looked like a different person when he wore the mask, and Bai Chen didn’t even realize that the man and Zhu Ge were one person.

.....

Bai Chen had just scolded him, but Wu Jinhai only smiled before replying, “The reason why it should be the Immortal Daoist or the Immortal Elder who can help me return to being a normal human is that they both know how to create an artificial life source for humans who have lost their Life Cores.”

Another new piece of information from Wu Jinhai, and Bai Chen finally stopped sulking as he once again focused his attention on the man in red. “Those two guys could make something like that?” Amazed, he immediately questioned the man.

“Mhm,” Wu Jinhai replied. “However, it is not easy for them to create an artificial life source for humans who have lost their Life Cores. Before they could help a human, they had to make sure that the human met the requirements, and it was related to human strength. That’s also the reason why I have continued to cultivate so hard under my master’s supervision. If I want to stay alive, then I must be strong enough when I meet the Immortal Daoist or the Immortal Elder. Unfortunately, I can’t even meet them now.”

Suddenly, Wu Jinhai averted his gaze from Bai Chen, and from the tone of his voice alone, Bai Chen could tell that the man was disappointed.

From Wu Jinhai’s story, Bai Chen could guess that the man probably started cultivating when he was still a teenager after the Power Crystal was removed from his body. At that time, his master might tell him about the Immortal Daoist and the Immortal Elder, and that was why the Eldest Prince of Wu Li was so greedy to return to being a normal human.

Unfortunately, the reality was different from expectations, and now Wu Jinhai had to swallow his disappointment when he found out that he would not be able to meet those two figures.

Bai Chen felt bad, but then his blue eyes once again caught a glimpse of the white crystal on Wu Jiang’s hilt, and he once again realized something as he asked, “You said that you wanted to return the Power Crystal to me, right? Was that the reason why you insisted on giving the sword to me when we were in the Forbidden Forest?”

The Werewolf Prince once again managed to connect the dots, and when he once again turned his gaze to look at the other Prince sitting close to him, he waited for the Prince to give him confirmation.

“You are right, ChenChen. I insisted on giving you the sword because I wanted to return the Power Crystal to you,” finally, confirmation came from Wu Jinhai, but the man in white did not look satisfied even after the man in red answered his question.

“You did return the Power Crystal to me, but you didn’t tell me anything about it, did you? Do you expect me to understand the meaning behind it when you know very well that I’m just a useless and weak Werewolf Prince?”

“...” Wu Jinhai seemed speechless after hearing Bai Chen’s question.

The Werewolf Prince once again mentioned the words “useless” and “weak,” and both words were used by Zhu Ge to insult him when they were on their way from the Red Pavilion to his palace in Dong Lang.

Just now Bai Chen did sound sarcastic, but it seemed that the man demanded more explanation than deliberately taking revenge on the man who had mocked him with the two words back then.

And when Wu Jinhai couldn’t immediately answer his question, Bai Chen sighed before saying, “Now I want to know about one thing, Wu Jinhai.” Narrowing his eyes, he interrogated the crow-haired man. “From your story, I can conclude that you have two purposes in approaching me. The first purpose is to gather more information about the Immortal Elder in Dong Lang, and the second purpose is to return the Power Crystal to me. In your heart, which purpose is most important to you?”
