Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

Chapter 256

256 BROUGHT HARM AND POWER

What Wu Jinhai said once again managed to surprise Bai Chen, but it was not the pleasant surprise that the Werewolf Prince had just received from the man in red after the man had finished his sentence.

“What? You want to return my Power Crystal? Have you forgotten what my mother said all those years ago when I was unconscious after accidentally giving my Power Crystal to you? She said you would die if you insisted on returning the crystal to me, but you still want to return the crystal to me now?” With a face painted with concern, the Werewolf Prince questioned the taller man.

Bai Chen had risen from the man’s lap, but their bodies were still close together because Wu Jinhai was currently placing his hands around Bai Chen’s waist so that the man in white wouldn’t move away from him.

The food on the table remained untouched, and that was probably because neither of the two men was feeling hungry at the moment. Who would have an appetite when they were in the middle of a serious conversation?

Bai Chen did feel that a hole had formed in his stomach before he finally spoke seriously to Wu Jinhai once more, but now he thought that the truth he had just learned about the man was enough to fill that hole, and now he didn’t feel hungry anymore.

Now, Bai Chen could understand the situation better. He didn’t know what kind of power Wu Jinhai had just used on him, but the man had managed to show him what was going on around him when he was unconscious by the river all those years ago.

Sure enough, the one lying unconscious by the river was the real Bai Chen in this world, but the current Bai Chen somehow believed that even the real Bai Chen certainly didn’t know what was going on back then, and how Wu Jinhai had shown everything did help him to see the situation from a wider perspective.

Now, he knew that the child that Bai Chen saved when he was six years old was Wu Jinhai, and he now also knew the origin of the white crystal on Wu Jiang’s hilt. Ma Qiao had told him that the white crystal was the white werewolf’s Power Crystal, and it turned out that he was the original owner of the crystal.

If he could tell the truth, then he would say that he actually wanted to take the crystal back, but if it would kill Wu Jinhai as Tang Yanmei had told the boy all those years ago, then he would put his ego aside as long as it could help Wu Jinhai live longer.

.....

Did Bai Chen sound cheesy just now? He even had goosebumps all over his body, but he ignored them as he focused his attention on the man sitting right in front of him.

“I still remember what your mother told me back then, but maybe it was you who failed to notice something, ChenChen.”

Wu Jinhai sneakily called him by that nickname again, but Bai Chen didn’t want to bother with that because he was more focused on other things. “What did I fail to notice?” He quickly asked.

This time, Wu Jinhai did not directly answer the question. Instead, he pulled his right hand from Bai Chen’s waist before moving his finger as if asking someone to come closer to him. To be precise, the man summoned the sword, Wu Jiang, to draw close to him.

The sword was still acting like an obedient child and immediately flew towards the man in red before allowing the man in red to grab the hilt.

“You can see the white crystal here, right?” Wu Jinhai asked Bai Chen once the sword was in his hand. “The reason why I was able to show you what happened when you were unconscious by the river all those years ago is that I used the crystal to show you everything. At that time, the crystal was inside my body, and it acted like a silent witness to what happened then. That’s why I can show you everything you missed back then, and now you can see that this crystal is not in my body anymore, right? And even if this crystal is no longer in my body of me, I can still kiss and hug you now instead of dying, right?”

“...” Bai Chen looked a little surprised after hearing Wu Jinhai’s question.

He still remembered how Tang Yanmei said that little Wu Jinhai would die if he insisted on returning the crystal to its original owner. Even Ma Qiao told him that humans who received the crystal would die if the crystal was pulled from their bodies.

However, Bai Chen could see how his Power Crystal was in the hilt of the sword instead of staying in Wu Jinhai’s body, but Wu Jinhai was still alive now. As such, he looked confused as he focused his blue eyes on the sword that was still in Wu Jinhai’s hand.

“Right. Why don’t you die even if the crystal is no longer in your body?” Bai Chen innocently asked without looking at the raven-haired man, and the next second, he could hear how the man was laughing heartily.

“Do you want me to die, ChenChen?” Amused, Wu Jinhai asked back instead of answering Bai Chen’s question. “You were like a hero when you saved me all those years ago, but now you want to see me dying?”

“...” Bai Chen didn’t answer because that wasn’t what he meant. Now, he finally turned his gaze to look at the man in red, but he still didn’t know how to answer the man’s question.

In the end, Wu Jinhai chuckled again before saying, “I already told you that I hate how I turned into a half-fish demon because of the poison in my body, right? It may be true that the poison brought me harm, but it also gave me another power in my body. It’s the poison in my body that turned me into a half-fish demon that helped me to stay alive even after I purposely removed your Power Crystal from my body.”
