Chapter 150

150 A MAN IN FRONT OF THE GATE

‘I don’t want to kill anyone in this world,’ Bai Chen immediately shook his head after hearing the new information from his servant.

The Werewolf Prince was forced to erase the cunning idea from his mind when he found out that he must not take another person’s life just because of his greed. He could still live with a single crystal in his body, but the person who received his Power Crystal would die if he forcibly took the crystal away from him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Bai Chen could be selfish sometimes, but he didn’t want to kill someone just because he wanted to become a stronger werewolf.

His blue eyes once again fell on the Power Crystal on his sword, and he wondered about the crystal’s owner. Ma Qiao was certain that the crystal belonged to a werewolf from the White Werewolf Clan, so it must be extremely valuable.

‘This crystal is very precious and can even give spiritual power to weapons, but Wu Jinhai easily gave this sword to me. That’s weird, right?’ Once again, the brown-haired Prince felt that he couldn’t understand the Prince of Wu Li at all. ‘Besides, I still don’t know how Wu Jinhai managed to get this Power Crystal. Did he really take the crystal from the werewolf by force? If he even fought werewolves to get this crystal, then he shouldn’t have given me this crystal so easily, right?’

“Your Highness, do you really have a plan to snatch the Power Crystal from the human who had received the crystal from you?”

Bai Chen was deep in thought, but then he received a question from the old servant, and he turned to the servant. He just realized that he still hadn’t replied to the man’s information earlier, and perhaps the servant had assumed that he really wanted to take the crystal back by force.

“No,” Bai Chen replied. “I just want to know the possibilities, but I don’t want to kill anyone here. It’s fine if the human is still alive now. That means my crystal is useful to him, right?”

Bai Chen sounded selfless in front of his servant, and the servant tilted his head innocently before smiling at the young man. “That’s good, Your Highness! Killing people is no good, and it will surely bring you trouble since this matter is related to someone from the Wu Li Empire.”

.....

The Werewolf Prince only nodded his head as he agreed with his servant, but then he thought of something as his blue eyes made contact with the white crystal on the sword again.

He suddenly felt curious about something, and he immediately turned to the old man again as he asked, “Ma Qiao, what do you think will happen to me if I use this Power Crystal on my body?”

Even if he had rejected the idea of ??retrieving his Power Crystal from the human’s body, he still saw an opportunity when he saw the crystal on his sword.

He expected a positive answer from Ma Qiao, but the old man once again frowned at him. “You’d better not try to do such a thing, Your Highness,” he replied firmly. “Humans can receive any crystal from werewolves, but werewolves cannot simply accept crystals from other werewolves. If this crystal doesn’t match your body, then you will die, Your Highness.”

Bai Chen was stunned to hear Ma Qiao’s explanation. He assumed it was possible if he wanted to have another crystal belonging to another werewolf, but the risk was too high, so he immediately shook the crazy idea out of his head.

Whether he liked it or not, he knew that he would have to forget about his Power Crystal. Even if he had to accept the fact that he would only be a weak werewolf for the rest of his life, it would still be better than taking someone else’s life or risking his life.

Bai Chen let out a heavy sigh before moving his sword and keeping it behind his back again. “Let’s go back to my palace, Ma Qiao. I’m very tired and sleepy, and I want to sleep all day today,” he spoke as he started walking towards his palace.

Ma Qiao grinned widely before following in the Prince’s footsteps. “Yes, Your Highness! You should rest your mind and body for now, but don’t forget to shower and eat before bed. It will make you feel more comfortable later.”

Bai Chen didn’t say it verbally, but he secretly agreed with his servant. He was a person who cared about cleanliness, and he did feel uncomfortable wearing the same clothes since yesterday.

Moreover, he also wore those clothes when he slept on the ground last night, and it was certain that his clothes were very dirty now.

“You should prepare a hot bath and also a nice breakfast for me later, Ma Qiao,” the brown-haired man spoke again as he continued walking towards his palace.

He just realized that he was very hungry now. The last time something went into his stomach was last night, and he only ate a roasted bun even if the taste wasn’t that bad. Therefore, Bai Chen wanted to have a feast in his palace later.

“Sure, Your Highness! I will prepare a hot bath for you, and I will also ask the palace cook to cook delicious food for you. What would you like to eat? Would you like to eat fish or meat? I will prepare whatever you want to eat today!”

Suddenly, Bai Chen stopped his movements after hearing the question from his servant. He suddenly remembered something, and he immediately asked the servant, “Has Zhu Ge returned to my palace, Ma Qiao?”

Unknowingly, Bai Chen sounded very excited when he asked that question. Ma Qiao suddenly mentioned fish, and he immediately remembered when Zhu Ge threw his fried fish into the pond in the garden pavilion.

He sounded very greedy just now, and that was because he really wanted to meet Zhu Ge right now. He didn’t know the reason, but he only thought that he wanted to share his experience in the forest with the man, and that was why he wanted to meet the man immediately.

Unfortunately, he could see Ma Qiao furrowing his brows again after hearing his question. “Zhu Ge has not returned to your palace, Your Highness,” the servant replied. “He told you that he had some matters to deal with in Wu Li Empire, and you let him come back later, right? You’ve gone too lenient towards him, and that’s why he dares to slack off, Your Highness.”

Bai Chen looked disappointed, but he remembered when Zhu Ge told him that he would not be able to return right after the barrier between the two empires was lifted. The black-haired man said that he had some family matters to attend to, and that was why he would not be able to return soon.

Bai Chen felt that so many days had passed, but it was actually only yesterday when the barrier between the two empires was finally opened.

He felt that so many days had passed, but it had actually only been two weeks since he had last seen Zhu Ge.

He couldn’t help thinking that he looked like a desperate wife who had been abandoned by her husband for a long time, but then he shook his head when he realized that the thought was too ridiculous.

“It’s fine, Ma Qiao,” Bai Chen spoke again as he continued walking towards his palace. “I also just want to rest today, and I don’t need Zhu Ge for now. I will wait for him to return this week, but if he still doesn’t return, then I will go to the Red Pavilion.”

Bai Chen didn’t even know where Zhu Ge lived, and he only knew that the man used to work in the Red Pavilion before he became his servant in his palace. If he wanted to find the man, he might be able to ask for the man’s address from the Red Pavilion boss.

“I agree if you wish to go to the Red Pavilion if Zhu Ge does not return this week, Your Highness,” Ma Qiao replied. “You finally realized that Zhu Ge isn’t that good, right? You can always look for other men who are better than him in the Red Pavilion.”

It seemed that Ma Qiao had misunderstood his intention to go to the Red Pavilion, but instead of explaining his true intentions, Bai Chen simply chuckled while shaking his head helplessly. The servant was sometimes too innocent.

The two men of different ages were no longer chatting with each other as they continued to walk towards the Prince’s palace, and without realizing it, they had arrived in front of the palace gate.

At that moment, Bai Chen’s steps immediately came to a halt as his blue eyes caught a familiar figure in front of the palace gates. The figure looked at him with a sweet smile, and Bai Chen forgot to breathe because he could only feel how his heart was beating fast at the sight of the person.
