Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

Chapter 238

238 HALF HUMAN, HALF DEMON

“You...” Bai Chen couldn’t even easily form a sentence to reply to Wu Jinhai after he saw the state of the man’s chest that was previously hiding behind the red cloth. “Are you really a fish?” He was finally able to finish his words, and his blue eyes now left golden scales on Wu Jinhai’s chest so that he looked at the man’s face once more.

Bai Chen was indeed shocked by what he had just seen. True, Wu Jinhai had mentioned that some parts of his body were covered in fish scales, but he did not expect that those scales would cover most of his body. He could even see some scales peeking out from under the clothes covering Wu Jinhai’s stomach area, and Bai Chen didn’t dare to guess how many scales were covering Wu Jinhai’s body.

Perhaps Wu Jinhai could see that Bai Chen was taken aback by the look of his chest, and that was why he once again covered his chest area with his red robe. Some parts of his chest were still exposed even after covering them with the red robe, but those parts did not have fish scales, and that was why Wu Jinhai didn’t seem to have anything strange on his body.

“I was born as a human,” Wu Jinhai answered Bai Chen’s question while taking his eyes off the man. “But as I said before, I was poisoned when I was a child, and that’s why I’m half human and half fish demon now.”

It was as if Wu Jinhai hadn’t surprised him enough today, and the man had come with another surprise that sounded unreal to Bai Chen’s ears.

“You’re half a fish demon now? Is it because the person who poisoned you when you were a child was a fish demon?” Once again, Bai Chen threw another question at Wu Jinhai after he managed to control his surprised expression.

Bai Chen had indeed heard that there were also demons in this world, and today he also accidentally bumped into the Flute Demon which even managed to get him under her spell before Yu Ming suddenly came to his rescue.

He did know that demons existed in this world, but it seemed their territory was far from werewolves and humans, and that was why he had never seen an appearance of a demon before today.

Even his knowledge of demons was very limited, and that was why he looked clueless after hearing Wu Jinhai’s answer.

.....

“Mhm, the one who poisoned me when I was a child was the fish demon leader,” Wu Jinhai replied once again. “He was angry with my father because my father had beaten him once, and that’s why he wanted to take revenge on him. Unfortunately, he chose to take revenge by poisoning me when I was a baby. At that time, my mother gave birth to me before the due date, and she was outside the palace with my father and some of the servants and soldiers protecting them. They arrived near the river when my mother couldn’t hold it in anymore, and that’s why the palace maids helped her give birth next to the river.”

Bai Chen never knew the story of the Eldest Prince of Wu Li, and that was why he quietly listened to the man’s story with a hint of interest in his eyes. In addition to being interested in the story, Bai Chen somehow also felt sad when he heard the story, thinking the story was just the beginning, and the ending might not be good.

“Who would have thought that a fish demon would suddenly emerge from the water right after my mother gave birth to me?” Wu Jinhai continued his unfinished story, and Bai Chen looked surprised to hear that, but he remained silent as he allowed the taller man to continue telling the story.

“My father only brought ten soldiers at the time, and one could say they were caught off guard when my mother gave birth to me. That’s why after I was born, they weren’t ready to face the enemy, and that’s the reason why I easily fell into the hands of the fish demon right after my mother gave birth to me.”

The continuation of Wu Jinhai’s story managed to clench Bai Chen’s heart. He had expected that the story would not have a happy ending, but he was still shocked to hear from Wu Jinhai that he even fell into the hands of the demon when he was just born into the world.

Bai Chen couldn’t imagine the situation back then, but he assumed that the baby Wu Jinhai was constantly crying while he was in the demon’s arms.

“At that time, the fish demon heartlessly put poison into my mouth, and right after I swallowed it into my stomach, I turned into a half-fish demon.”

Bai Chen didn’t know how to respond when Wu Jinhai once again continued his story, and it seemed that the sentence that had just left the man’s lips was the end of his story.

Wu Jinhai was still a baby back then, but the fish demon heartlessly put poison into his little mouth at that time, and Bai Chen subconsciously clenched his fists as he felt angry at what the demon had done to the innocent baby.

Yes, the baby was, of course, innocent because he had just seen the world back then. The baby had no sin when he just came out of his mother’s womb, but he had already been punished by a cruel demon.

Bai Chen couldn’t help but feel bad for Wu Jinhai, but when he saw the man still sitting next to him, the man didn’t want to look back at him. Taking a deep breath, Bai Chen then opened his mouth to speak, “So, that’s the reason why you don’t like to eat fish and only eat vegetables most of the time? You probably don’t like seeing me eat fish too, and that’s why you threw the fried fish into the pond some time ago, right?”
