Chapter 113

113 I KNOW THEM, YOU KNOW THEM

The surface of the bun that was previously white had turned brown now, and Bai Chen’s saliva almost fell from his mouth as his nostrils were teased by the delicious aroma.

He wasn’t someone who liked to experiment with his food, and he had never roasted his buns even when he was in his previous life because he found that kind of thing quite childish.

However, the smell of the roasted bun in his hands tantalized him, and he soon forgot his opinion that experimenting with food was childish.

It seemed the bun was roasted to perfection as if Wu Jinhai knew how to do it properly like a professional chef, and Bai Chen couldn’t help but take the first bite.

The bun was indeed warm when it touched his tongue, and for some reason, Bai Chen thought that it was the most delicious bun he had ever tasted.

‘Maybe it’s because I’m so hungry that this bun suddenly tastes so good,’ he thought because he didn’t want to praise the masked man too much.

He was indeed starving because there was no food left in his stomach, and he even moaned uncontrollably when his tongue tasted the deliciousness. Even his stomach was feasting on the food that had just greeted it.

“See? The bun tastes better after I warm it over the fire, doesn’t it? I’m sure you’ll continue to roast your bun even after we get out of this forest.”

Bai Chen could hear the question, and Wu Jinhai also sounded arrogant as usual, but he ignored the question and statement as he continued to chew the bun in his mouth.

.....

He didn’t even care about the wooden stick that pierced the bun. It was true that the stick might be unhygienic, but he didn’t care because his mind was too blinded by the good taste.

“If the bun is not enough for you, then I can hunt some edible beasts for our dinner tonight,” Wu Jinhai spoke again when he didn’t get a response from Bai Chen, and that statement was enough to stop Bai Chen’s movements.

“Can you stop talking about beasts while I’m eating?” The Werewolf Prince asked in annoyance. “You keep talking about edible beasts, but the only beast in my memory is a giant spider that has disgusting black blood. I would never eat that kind of food and would let my stomach digest my heart or lungs instead!”

Bai Chen felt like throwing up as he recalled the memory of the black blood, but he tried his best not to vomit because the bun was too precious for his stomach.

It was a bit stupid, but he didn’t bring any food with him when he left his palace, so he could only rely on the bun for now.

Ma Qiao only prepared food for him before he went to the Forbidden Forest, but the servant did not bring him any food. ‘Perhaps werewolves are supposed to be tough even without food?’ He wondered when he was finally able to get rid of that disgusting black blood image.

Maybe Bai Chen was acting like an exclusive Prince now, but he was indeed exclusive when it came to hygiene and health. He wouldn’t let something like a giant spider walk toward his stomach.

“I’m not lying about the edible beasts, and the beasts are not the same as the giant spider you saw before,” Wu Jinhai carefully explained to the stubborn Prince.

Hearing how the taller man spoke so seriously, Bai Chen frowned as he asked a question, “Are there really edible beasts in this forest? You mean, those beasts wouldn’t have disgusting blood like the giant spider?”

“Mhm,” replied Wu Jinhai. “You see how the giant spider has black blood that looks very disgusting, and that’s because the spider has been eating other beasts for years. Other beasts will have that blood too if they eat their kinds or maybe humans for years.”

The thought of how beasts could even eat humans made Bai Chen’s body shiver. He was lucky that he didn’t accidentally run into that kind of beast until now, but he still showed a frightened expression after hearing the taller man’s explanation.

“So, edible beasts don’t eat other beasts and humans?” Bai Chen asked again after he managed to draw a conclusion from Wu Jinhai’s explanation.

“Yes,” the answer came from Wu Jinhai. “There are small beasts that only eat plants, and those kinds of beasts are fine to eat. I can try catching some if you want to eat them.”

When Wu Jinhai mentioned the phrase ‘small beasts,’ an image of a cute beast like a rabbit flashed through his mind, and Bai Chen immediately shook his head to answer Wu Jinhai’s question.

“You don’t have to do that,” the man in white answered verbally. “The forest is very dark and cold, and you can’t even see anything in the dark. You’d better stay here if you don’t feel hungry yourself.”

Bai Chen looked very selfish as he enjoyed the bun himself without offering it to Wu Jinhai. The bun was from Wu Jinhai, but the man hadn’t eaten anything since they sat by the fire.

“I’ll be fine even if I don’t eat and drink for days,” Wu Jinhai replied. “I’ve been cultivating for many years, and you can tell that I’m not just an ordinary human who needs food and water right now.”

Bai Chen should have expected the answer because Wu Jinhai had indeed looked strong from the moment they first met.

Even if Wu Jinhai was the Prince of Wu Li, that man might have a master to teach him, and with the strength within his body, Wu Jinhai would probably be able to fight his hunger and thirst.

Bai Chen knew that he only needed to worry about himself and stop worrying about Wu Jinhai. It was he who did not have the ability to fight his hunger and thirst.

Shrugging after hearing Wu Jinhai’s answer, Bai Chen decided to finish his bun in silence without responding to the man again. As he finally finished his bun, he remembered something.

Tossing the wooden stick into the bonfire after he finished the bun, Bai Chen then turned his head towards Wu Jinhai. “Now, will you tell me about what you saw in the cave just now?” He asked.

Bai Chen was still curious about what had happened in the cave earlier. Two people having sex was none of his business, but the way Wu Jinhai froze when they were in the cave just now had piqued his curiosity.

If the two people in the cave weren’t important, Wu Jinhai wouldn’t have reacted like that, so Bai Chen was sure that those perverts weren’t just ordinary people in Wu Jinhai’s eyes.

“May I call you by your name?” Instead of getting an answer from Wu Jinhai, Bai Chen got a question from the man.

“Why do you want to call me by my name? If I let you call me by my name, will you tell me everything about what happened in the cave?” Bai Chen asked back.

Wu Jinhai had called him by his name when they had just met each other, so Bai Chen didn’t understand why the black-haired man was still asking him that question.

Hearing Bai Chen’s question, Wu Jinhai burst out laughing. “Depends,” he answered. “I’ll ask you a few questions first, and if you manage to satisfy me with your answers, then I’ll tell you everything about the events that happened in the cave.”

Bai Chen had just realized that Wu Jinhai was a very cunning person, and he gritted his teeth as he replied, “Just call me whatever you want, and you can also ask me anything as long as you tell me what you saw in the cave.”

Maybe it was too risky for Bai Chen, but he didn’t care because he was very curious now. And perhaps his curiosity was ridiculous to Wu Jinhai because the man was laughing at him right now.

“I didn’t expect you to be interested in other people’s hot activities, Bai Chen,” Wu Jinhai replied, and he even ignored the formality in his answer.

Bai Chen expected Wu Jinhai’s response, and that was why he didn’t look surprised after hearing it. Maybe he looked like a pervert because he wanted to know the details of other people’s sexual activity, but that wasn’t his real purpose.

“I just want you to tell me the identities of the two people who had sex in the cave. You were very shocked earlier, so I’m pretty sure you know those people. Am I right?” Bai Chen asked again.

This time, Wu Jinhai did not laugh at his question, and instead, Bai Chen could see how the pair of eyes that peeked through the golden mask formed twin crescent moons as the owner answered the question, “You are right that I know the two people who had sex in the cave. Not only do I know them, but you also know them, Bai Chen.”
