Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

94 A GLARE FROM FUTURE WIFE

“You are Prince Bai Chen, right? Why are you here alone, Your Highness?” The man in black asked Bai Chen a question, and Bai Chen was able to confirm that the man was indeed his future father-in-law when he saw Shao Meihui standing behind the man.

He had seen the beautiful girl on the palace ground earlier, but only now had he seen the girl’s father in the area.

He had thought that only the participants had gathered on the ground, but he was wrong because the older man was also there with his daughter.

“This is my first time joining the Beast Hunting Event, and I... I don’t know what to do,” Bai Chen awkwardly answered the man’s question.

He didn’t even know how to lie, so he ended up telling the man the truth. And the older man laughed after hearing his answer.

“Ah, yes. I heard that you have never been to this event before, so it’s only natural that you are nervous, Your Highness,” Shao Yaoting seemed to be trying to comfort the young man. “I can understand if you are nervous because I was also like you when I participated in the event for the first time many years ago.”

The man was indeed trying to comfort him, and Bai Chen suddenly remembered that the Emperor of Wu Li also said that he participated in the Beast Hunting Event in the past.

Knowing the facts, he couldn’t help but think that important figures in the two empires might have participated in the event at least once. Therefore, he thought that it was a good thing for him to join the event even if only once so that he could proudly tell his children later on that he was also nervous when he joined the event for the first time.

‘What? Why am I suddenly thinking about my future children? Is it because I’m talking to my future father-in-law right now?’ Bai Chen immediately scolded himself for his ridiculous thoughts.

.....

“Lord Shao is wise and has a lot of experience, and I hope I can learn from you so that I can at least be half as good as you,” Bai Chen tried to flatter the head of the Black Werewolf Clan as he recalled that the clan was powerful in the empire, and he needed to be on their good side.

And because of his sweet talk, the older man ended up laughing out loud. “You know how to flatter me, Your Highness!” He returned between his laughs. “But experience can grow as long as you don’t stop learning, Your Highness. Besides, you are from the White Werewolf Clan, and you will definitely perform well at the event just like your elder brother.”

Bai Chen didn’t even know if it was a sincere compliment or the sarcasm that just escaped from Shao Yaoting’s lips.

He was indeed from the White Werewolf Clan, but he was an unwanted clan member there, and his so-called elder brother was only his half-brother.

Even if a tree could grow, it would not be able to reach the sky, and that was the best sentence to describe the difference between him and Bai Renshu.

He didn’t even dare hope to perform well, and he only wished he could survive the event. Even if Shao Yaoting praised the White Werewolf Clan, Bai Chen knew that he was not a pureblood in the clan, so he knew that he could not rely on the clan name.

He suddenly became awkward in front of the head of the Black Werewolf Clan, and the older man probably noticed it as he suddenly signaled his daughter to step forward before saying, “If you’re nervous, then you can enter the Forbidden Forest with Ah Hui, Your Highness. She will be your wife after the event, so maybe this is the right time for you to get to know each other.”

Bai Chen heard from Bai Renshu that Shao Meihui was a rank two werewolf, so she did have fighting abilities. Perhaps it would be more convenient for Bai Chen to stay with the girl in black, but when he caught a glimpse of the girl, he could see the girl glaring at him.

The sharp gaze made him wince. ‘It’s only our first meeting, but she’s suddenly glaring at me like this? Does she have a problem with me?’ He wondered as he tried to avoid the girl’s piercing gaze, and then he remembered something. ‘Or is it because she doesn’t want to accept me as her husband? Is it because she still loves Bai Renshu?’

Bai Chen didn’t dare to ask questions in front of the two people, but he remembered Ma Qiao’s story about the secret relationship between Bai Renshu and Shao Meihui.

He didn’t know whether it was right to call the relationship a secret or not because some of the servants in the palace knew about it, but he chose to use the word ‘secret’ because he remembered how hesitant his servant was when he forced the old man to spill the tea.

The relationship was not accepted by the Emperor, so it was more like a secret relationship between the Crown Prince and the daughter of the Black Werewolf Clan. To Bai Chen, it sounded like a romance drama in his previous life.

“What is your answer, Your Highness? Will you enter the Forbidden Forest with Ah Hui? You need not worry because Ah Hui can fight, and she will also be guarded by the strongest guards chosen by His Majesty,” Shao Yaoting spoke again because he got no response from the brunette Prince, and now the Prince was in trouble.

He knew that Shao Meihui didn’t like him, but he also knew that he couldn’t just refuse Shao Yaoting’s offer. The Emperor himself had arranged his marriage to Shao Meihui, so Bai Chen knew that he could not disappoint the Emperor in this situation.

Moreover, he also still remembered how Bai Renshu talked about the friendship between Shao Yaoting and Bai Chen’s mother, and perhaps he could get more information if he could get closer to Shao Meihui.

“That’s a good idea,” Bai Chen finally replied. “I will go with Young Lady Shao, and I will also try to protect her during the event.”

Bai Chen acted like a hero wanting to protect the heroine, but the heroine suddenly snorted upon hearing his words. Both he and Shao Yaoting simultaneously turned to the girl, but the girl only wore a cold expression and said nothing.

Bai Chen knew that the girl was laughing at him, perhaps knowing the fact that he was only a third rank werewolf with no fighting ability, and that was why the girl insulted him like that.

However, Bai Chen did not prolong the matter as he immediately said goodbye to go to the Forbidden Forest together with the other contestants. He didn’t know the exact location of the forest, so he could only follow the group of people heading into the forest as well.

He was quite late, so he was the last person to go with Shao Meihui and the three guards chosen by the Emperor to protect the daughter of the Black Werewolf Clan.

Of course, the girl’s safety was very important to maintaining the relationship between the two clans, so Bai Chen was not surprised to see the strongest men chosen by the Emperor to protect Shao Meihui.

Bai Chen and Shao Meihui walked side by side following the other group of people, but they remained silent as neither of them want to break the silence.

Bai Chen knew that Shao Meihui didn’t like him, so it was very awkward for him to break the tension between them. However, to his surprise, it was Shao Meihui who ended up starting the conversation between them.

“You are only a third rank werewolf, yet you are still participating in this event.”

Bai Chen didn’t know if it was the girl’s way of starting a conversation or fighting with him. From the cold tone that escaped the girl’s thin lips, Bai Chen could tell that the girl was mocking him once again.

His identity as a Delta in the Dong Lang Empire was not a secret. He was indeed an Imperial Prince, but unlike the Crown Prince who was a fourth-ranked werewolf, he was only ranked third with no combat ability.

That was why Shao Meihui was able to ridicule him like that, and Bai Chen was not surprised by it.

“Yes, I’m only a third-ranked werewolf, but I have goals that I want to achieve, and that’s why I decided to participate in this event,” Bai Chen replied without glancing at the girl walking next to him.

He was looking ahead, so he didn’t notice that Shao Meihui was glancing at him before asking, “What’s your goal? Do you want to usurp the throne from the Crown Prince? You’re just the son of a prostitute, but you dare to have that goal in your heart? Do you think you’ll be able to defeat the Crown Prince?”
