Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

403 THE NEW CROWN PRINCE

“My Lord... My Lord? How did you come back to this world when you...”

“I came back to save my people.”

Before Bai Guowei could even continue what he wanted to say, Bai Lang cut him off, and the old man kneeling on the ground stared at him in disbelief.

It seemed that the Emperor of Dong Lang had lost all his dignity after losing his Power Crystal, and that was why he no longer cared about his pride. What kind of Emperor would kneel on the ground like that? His white robe was even dirty from the wet dirt beneath his knees, but the old man didn’t seem to care much about it.

The Immortal Elder, Bai Lang, stood in front of him. He was still using Bai Chen’s body at this time, but it seemed easy for Bai Guowei to know that it was not his son standing in front of him. Of course, the Immortal Elder’s aura was different from Bai Chen’s, and even how his pair of blue eyes shone brightly at the kneeling old man was very different from Bai Chen’s ordinary blue eyes. His long hair was still white, and that was why Bai Guowei could easily tell that the young man was not his son.

And after hearing how the young man answered his question, it was confirmed that he was indeed not Bai Chen. Only the Immortal Elder could speak arrogantly to him, and that was why Bai Guowei looked even more embarrassed after his confirmation.

It was as if kneeling before the Immortal Elder wasn’t enough, and that was why Bai Guowei even pressed his palms on the dirty ground and positioned his face on top of the back of his hands.

“Please forgive me, My Lord!” An apology came from the Emperor. “This humble servant is indeed too weak and incapable, and I even failed to protect my people. I have now lost my Power Crystal, and I am one of the helpless werewolves in this empire! Please grant me mercy, My Lord!”

Bai Guowei was indeed the number one in Dong Lang, but he couldn’t compare to the Immortal Elder in terms of power and status. Even when the Immortal Elder was still alive, Bai Guowei had always respected the Elder, and now that he had utterly failed in his duty as the ruler of this empire, he could only lower his head deeper as if trying to hide his embarrassment.

.....

“It was indeed a huge failure, Bai Guowei,” replied the Immortal Elder. “You have been a proud Emperor for so many years, but now you finally know the word shame?”

“…” This time, Bai Guowei couldn’t answer right away, but the discomfiture on his face was even more obvious after hearing the Elder’s sarcasm.

The Immortal Elder also didn’t appear to be in a rush to get a response from the old man, and that was why he remained silent as he continued to stare at the man.

Until finally, a full minute had passed without a word leaving Bai Guowei’s lips, and that was why Bai Lang sighed heavily before saying, “Your Power Crystal that was seized by Shao Yaoting was destroyed by my power, and now you know that you are just a weak werewolf without that crystal. So, what are your plans for the future of this empire, Bai Guowei?”

This time, Bai Guowei ventured to look at the Immortal Elder. He also didn’t immediately reply even after looking at the Elder and seemed to be quite bothered by the question.

“I... I’ll let you decide the future of this empire, My Lord,” Bai Guowei decided humbly.

The sight was indeed pitiful. Bai Guowei looked like he had no power left, and perhaps no one would believe that he was once the mighty Emperor of Dong Lang. Even for the future of his empire, he couldn’t decide it himself, and that was why he could only let the Immortal Elder decide it for him.

“You were once a proud Emperor who had a proud Crown Prince, but even your Crown Prince killed himself when he couldn’t stand his sorrow. Now, you no longer have an heir to take your throne in the future, right, Bai Guowei?” The Immortal Elder did not directly let Bai Guowei know of his decision regarding his future. Instead, he brought up the topic of Bai Renshu.

At this moment, Bai Guowei fell silent once more, but it seemed he could understand the direction of the Immortal Elder’s words.

“What kind of empire doesn’t have a Crown Prince? After you die, who will ascend the throne to become the new Emperor? Haven’t you thought about that, Bai Guowei?” The Immortal Elder continued to speak, and Bai Guowei’s expression grew even uglier. Sure enough, he could guess the direction of the Elder’s words.

“But you don’t only have one son, do you, Bai Guowei? That’s why you still have a choice in your hands, so you don’t have to show that pitiful expression in front of me,” the Immortal Elder continued.

This time, Bai Guowei voiced an immediate response, “Would you like to appoint Bai Chen as the new Crown Prince of this empire, My Lord?”

“Yes,” without hesitation, the Immortal Elder replied. “Bai Chen is your son, not someone else’s. What’s wrong with appointing him as the new Crown Prince of Dong Lang?”

“I know that Bai Chen is my son, but he is only half a werewolf, and he doesn’t even have a Power Crystal. How could he become the Crown Prince of this empire, My Lord?” Bai Guowei quickly voiced his refusal.

It seemed like Bai Chen wasn’t even an option when they were talking about the person who would take the position of Crown Prince in Dong Lang. Sure enough, the position was vacant, but it seemed that Bai Chen had no chance to sit in the vacant place.

The Immortal Elder had expected such a response from Bai Guowei, and that was why he resolutely replied, “Are you doubting me, Bai Guowei? Do you think you know better than I do about this world? I’m the one who knows what’s good and bad for this empire, and that’s why I will decide for the sake of this empire. From today onwards, Bai Chen is the new Crown Prince of Dong Lang.”
