Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

241 I DON’T WANT TO BE BELITTLED

When Bai Chen insisted on saying that he wanted to know the real reason behind why Wu Jinhai tried to approach him to the point that he could even lie to him since the beginning, Wu Jinhai ignored or avoided the question, but the man suddenly brought up the sensitive topic by himself when Bai Chen didn’t even start questioning the man anymore.

Wu Jinhai managed to surprise him again with his unexpected move, and Bai Chen was dumbfounded for a moment before he could find his voice again to answer the man’s statement, “I’ve been wondering about your ulterior motives. Even Yu Ming told me that you do have a motive for approaching me, and that is why I would like to hear your explanation now.”

It was Bai Chen’s chance to find out the truth. After learning that Wu Jinhai and Zhu Ge were the same people, he kept questioning the reason behind why the man even made that kind of scenario as if he was an actor, and now he assumed that he would finally be able to hear another truth from the man who previously wore the golden mask.

Now, the golden mask no longer covered the man’s face after the man revealed the truth hiding behind the mask, and the mask was now on the man’s lap after Bai Chen prevented the man from wearing the mask again.

“The reason why I approached you was related to the fact that I was poisoned and ended up losing my mother and my position as the Crown Prince of Wu Li,” Wu Jinhai replied.

It was not a detailed answer from the man wearing the red clothes, and that was why Bai Chen furrowed his brows as he stared at the man. “You approached me because of that, and you previously also said that you needed my help? Is it because you want me to help you snatch the position of Crown Prince from your half-brother?” Surprisingly, he threw another question at the black-haired man sitting next to him.

Perhaps that question sounded too naive to Wu Jinhai’s ears, and that was why the man suddenly burst out laughing after hearing that. “Do you think you are strong enough to help me snatch the position from my brother, Bai Chen?” He asked back instead of answering.

Hearing the question, fire suddenly formed in Bai Chen’s pair of blue eyes. So, Wu Jinhai looked down on him again, right? He was just a weak and useless Werewolf Prince, so he wouldn’t be able to help that man usurp the position of Crown Prince from his half-brother, right?

Even if Wu Jinhai didn’t remind him of how weak and useless he was, Bai Chen already knew about it, and that was why he looked upset after hearing the man’s response.

.....

“I became so weak because I saved someone in the past, you know? I accidentally lost my Power Crystal back then, and that’s why I can’t cultivate my power anymore!”

“...” Wu Jinhai stopped laughing after he heard how Bai Chen had responded to his words, and it seemed that his breath even caught in his throat when he heard the words that just left Bai Chen’s lips.

The man in red suddenly looked troubled, and he didn’t even say anything as his pair of brown eyes continued to stare at the blue ones. Unfortunately, Bai Chen was too angry because he assumed that Wu Jinhai was mocking him, and that was why he failed to notice that the older man was distressed after hearing his statement.

In the end, Wu Jinhai didn’t defend himself after Bai Chen rebuked him, and he simply turned his face to look at the river once more instead of continuing to stare at the pair of blue eyes.

“I was poisoned by the fish demon leader, and I became a half-demon after that. Even if I get demonic powers after I get poisoned, I don’t like being a fish demon at all,” Wu Jinhai suddenly spoke again, and instead of responding to Bai Chen’s scolding, he chose to start explaining his purpose. “The first reason was how my mother was killed because of my circumstances, and the second reason was that I wanted to become a full human, not a half-demon. Just like you, I don’t want to be belittled either just because I’m not a full human.”

Bai Chen was quite annoyed with how Wu Jinhai looked down on him just because he was too weak, but his resentment subsided when he heard how the taller man was finally willing to explain his purpose to him.

One thing that managed to electrocute Bai Chen’s heart was how Wu Jinhai was indirectly saying that he was also looked down upon just because he was half demon and half human. Bai Chen didn’t expect that at all. He thought Wu Jinhai was the mighty Prince of Wu Li, but it turned out that the man was facing difficulties just because he was poisoned when he was a baby.

In the end, he discovered the truth that he and Wu Jinhai were the same. Both were unlucky, and both were looked down upon by many.

Was it even Wu Jinhai’s fault? Of course, it wasn’t the man’s fault because the man was just a clueless baby at the time. What could a baby do to protect himself from the demon?

Bai Chen had some opinions in his heart, but he knew that Wu Jinhai wasn’t done with his story yet, and that was why he chose to keep everything in his heart while continuing to listen to the man’s story.

“My situation is only known to high-ranking officials in the Wu Li palace, while people of lower status know nothing about it. That’s why even my people in the empire know nothing about me, but it doesn’t make me feel happy even though only a few people know about my condition. That’s why I decided to leave the palace and start living alone in a small house in the middle of the forest. You remember that house, don’t you?”
