Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

Chapter 279

279 THE ATTACK WAS PREDICTABLE

“ACHOO!”

Bai Chen suddenly felt his nose itch, and he sneezed awkwardly before raising his hand to rub his itchy nose.

“Did you catch a cold?” A voice came from behind him, and when he turned his head to look behind him, all he could see was an exposed chest. At that, he turned his head away while plastering a lazy look on his face.

Sitting behind him was Wu Jinhai, and the two of them were currently on horseback. It was Wu Jinhai who forced him to ride the horse together instead of letting him ride another horse alone.

Why did he have to learn to ride a horse nearly two months ago if the other man didn’t even let him have any experience riding a horse himself?

Back then, it was Zhu Ge who had taught him to ride a horse while he was preparing for the Beast Hunting Event in the Forbidden Forest, but it seemed that the lesson he learned at that time was useless when he didn’t even get the chance to apply the theory now.

At that time, Bai Chen even got himself a horse with Ma Qiao’s help, and he was very excited to learn the technique from Zhu Ge so that he could ride a horse himself in the future.

Who would have thought that Wu Jinhai would be so protective of him and force him to ride a horse together with him instead? Bai Chen wasn’t even sure if Wu Jinhai was being protective or stingy. Could it be that the horse was too precious to the man that he wouldn’t even let Bai Chen ride it himself?

Bai Chen was irritated, but he only let out a heavy sigh before turning his head to look ahead again. The horse kept running, and the reins were in Wu Jinhai’s control. At this time, Wu Jinhai was still wearing Zhu Ge’s clothes, but he was wearing a golden mask to cover his face.

.....

That was why Bai Chen had complicated feelings in his heart when he thought that he was with Wu Jinhai and Zhu Ge at this time. Such a thought was indeed strange, and Bai Chen could only grip his clothes tightly when he knew that he couldn’t carelessly grab the horse’s black hair. If the horse felt pain, then he and Wu Jinhai would probably be in danger, right?

In the middle of the night, two stallions galloped one after another. One was brown, while the other was black. The brown one was ridden by Yu Ming, while the black one was ridden by Wu Jinhai and Bai Chen.

Bai Chen didn’t even know how, but Yu Ming managed to get two stallions so they could head to Wu Li’s palace from the forest near Heping Mountain.

Yes, the three men were now heading to Wu Li’s palace after Yu Ming had informed Wu Jinhai and Bai Chen about the current situation in Dong Lang. Currently, the Rongyao Imperial Palace was under the control of the Black Werewolf Clan, and there was no way Bai Chen could return to the palace if he still wanted to live. Thus, Wu Jinhai suggested that he return to Wu Li’s palace.

This would be Bai Chen’s first time going to Wu Li’s palace. The only time he visited Wu Li was when he was going to pick up Zhu Ge at the Red Pavilion, but he didn’t visit the palace then. So, Bai Chen was half worried and half excited at this time.

“I’m not that weak to catch a cold easily!” Annoyed, Bai Chen answered Wu Jinhai’s question. “I just feel someone talking behind my back, and that’s why my nose is itching all of a sudden.”

Bai Chen’s hunch wasn’t always accurate, but one could tell his nose was often accurate when someone was talking behind his back. Just like one time when his mother in his previous life gossiped about him when she was at work. Bai Chen also felt how his nose itched, and he couldn’t stop sneezing that day. When his mother finally got home, he immediately asked her about it, and his mother admitted that she had indeed talked about him with her colleagues. Back then, she confessed to talking about how she had a son with a good face but was a slacker.

Bai Chen couldn’t even scold his mother back then, but he was proud of his nose for sensing such an accurate thing. Just now he also sneezed, and he couldn’t help but think that someone was talking behind his back.

Ever since Yu Ming had told him that something bad was happening in Dong Lang, Bai Chen had been agitated, and that was why his body stiffened as the horse continued to move toward Wu Li’s palace.

He felt his whole body cold, but he suddenly felt warm as a hand wrapped around his flat stomach. When he looked at his stomach, he could see the red sleeves around his stomach, and he knew that it was Wu Jinhai who was hugging his stomach from behind. As the man used his right hand to control the reins of the horse, the man used his left hand to hug Bai Chen from behind.

“Perhaps you didn’t expect that something like this would happen in Dong Lang, but I actually expected it,” Wu Jinhai said softly from behind his body.

The stallion continued to run aggressively, but Wu Jinhai continued to treat him gently as if he had not been affected by the current crisis.

“What do you mean?” Bai Chen asked the other man without looking back at the figure sitting behind him. “You expected the Black Werewolf Clan to launch an attack on Dong Lang today?”

It wasn’t like Bai Chen didn’t expect that the Black Werewolf Clan would initiate their move, but he just didn’t expect that they would carry out their plan just three days after Bai Renshu’s death.

“Yes, I expected they would launch an attack on Dong Lang today,” Wu Jinhai replied. “The chaos in the Forbidden Forest, the death of Shao Meihui and Bai Renshu... I thought all of that was planned by the Black Werewolf Clan, and that’s why their attack today was so predictable.”
