Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

Chapter 288

288 COLLUDING WITH THE DEMONS?

Bai Chen didn’t know much about barriers. The first time he heard about barriers in this world was when the full moon occurred, and some powerful cultivators in Wu Li needed to put up a barrier around Dong Lang so that the werewolves wouldn’t come out during the night and cause chaos for the humans in Wu Li.

Back then, he couldn’t imagine what the barrier looked like, but later he discovered that it was also used around the Forbidden Forest during the Beast Hunting Festival, and it was also used to trap high-level beasts in the core of the forest before some people deliberately destroyed it to get all the beasts out of the core.

Bai Chen didn’t really care about the barrier, but now he was curious after getting some new information from Emperor Wu Shun.

“Why do you mean the barrier was put up without werewolf energy, Your Majesty? Would you say it wasn’t a werewolf that put up the barrier around Dong Lang?” Fortunately, Wu Jinhai represented him to question the Emperor.

When Bai Chen glanced at the red-robed man, he could see how the man looked curious as well even if his face was hiding behind the golden mask, and perhaps he also didn’t expect that the Emperor would give him such information.

“That’s my theory after receiving the reports from my men,” Wu Shun replied. “We have had a good relationship with Dong Lang for many years, and that’s why we can say that we don’t keep so many secrets from each other. The werewolves in Dong Lang know what kind of abilities humans have, and humans in Wu Li know about the werewolves as well. We also know how each other usually puts up barriers around our territory, and that’s why my subordinates felt confused when they failed to recognize the barriers put up around Dong Lang this time.”

Even the powerful cultivators in Wu Li couldn’t recognize the barrier set up around Dong Lang? Bai Chen now looked even more nervous after hearing the truth.

“Is it because the barrier was put up by the Black Werewolf Clan that your subordinates fail to recognize it, Your Majesty?” Finally, Bai Chen responded to Wu Shun.

Hearing his question, the Emperor turned to him before replying, “I don’t think that’s the case, Prince Bai Chen. As I said earlier, my subordinates didn’t sense the werewolf energy in the barrier, and that’s why I assume it wasn’t the werewolves who set up the barrier. Even if the Black Werewolf Clan rarely made any moves in Dong Lang before yesterday, I and the other cultivators in Wu Li can still recognize their energy if they use it on something. Therefore, if they use it on a barrier, then I believe we will still recognize it.”

.....

Living in this world was completely different from how Bai Chen used to live his life before he suddenly died and was sent to this world. The humans and werewolves in this world possessed supernatural energy, and because of that, their lives were far from simple. In his previous life, there were only fortresses visible to the naked eye, and there were no invisible barriers that were frequently used in this world. Thus, he did not fully understand even after Wu Shun explained to him further about the barrier around Dong Lang.

“Apart from humans and werewolves in this world, there are also demons, and we shouldn’t forget about them,” Wu Jinhai suddenly opened his mouth again, and his sudden mention of demons was enough to catch Bai Chen and Wu Shun’s attention.

“Why are you suddenly talking about the demons, Xiao Hai?” Confused, Wu Shun immediately asked his son. “Are you going to say that the demons are the ones who put up a barrier around Dong Lang this time?”

Suddenly, Bai Chen’s body froze. Just yesterday he saw a demon with his eyes, and it wasn’t a good memory for him. The Flute Demon cast her spell on him, and he finally recalled a memory he didn’t want to remember. He even cried bitterly from the terrifying memory, and he suddenly felt afraid of demons.

But just now Wu Jinhai mentioned how demons might be involved in the chaos that happened in Dong Lang, and Bai Chen felt even more scared after hearing that.

“That’s impossible, Xiao Hai!” Quickly, Wu Shun showed his disapproval of his son’s opinion. “Don’t you remember how the demons had been defeated by the humans and werewolves during the war about ten years ago? Those evil demons were forced to leave Wu Li and Dong Lang’s territory at that time. I know how some demons still had enough courage to infiltrate Wu Li and Dong Lang, but I’m sure those demons wouldn’t dare to come in large groups to our territory, nor would they dare to put up such a barrier if humans and werewolves teamed up to fight them. They won’t dare to do such a thing because they are weaker than a combination of humans and werewolves, Xiao Hai!”

This was not the first time Wu Shun had shown his disapproval of Wu Jinhai’s opinion, and when the two men were suddenly enveloped in tension, Bai Chen chose to sit quietly at the side. After all, he didn’t even know about the war Wu Shun mentioned. Until today, he didn’t know much about demons because the system didn’t give him too much information about them, and that was why he could only listen quietly as the two men discussed demons.

“The demons are definitely inferior if the humans and werewolves work together to fight them, but what if the demons work with one of them, Your Majesty?” Bravely, Wu Jinhai voiced his theory, and Wu Shun openly flinched after hearing his son’s question.

“Are you going to say that the demons are now working with the Black Werewolf Clan, Wu Jinhai?” Wu Shun asked in surprise, and Bai Chen was also shocked when he finally realized the possibility.

Shao Yaoting not only betrayed the werewolves in Dong Lang palace, but he also betrayed the humans in Wu Li by colluding with the demons just to take the throne from Bai Guowei?
