Chapter 92

92 THE BEAUTIFUL SHAO

When he arrived at the palace ground together with Ma Qiao, he could see that many people had already gathered on the ground.

He didn’t bother using his fingers to count them all, but at a glance, he could tell that their number was less than a hundred.

Bai Chen didn’t even know which was a human and which was a werewolf, but they were all busy chatting in small groups. The sight made him feel lonely because he was the only lone wolf that had no companion.

Normally, he could only see people dressed in white around the Imperial Palace, but today he could see people wearing colorful clothes in the palace, and he finally felt that this world was normal for once.

At least, the atmosphere in the palace changed slightly due to the colorful scenery, and finally, it didn’t feel like the people in the palace was mourning forever because they only wore white clothes every day.

Bai Chen continued to observe the people in the palace courtyard, and he finally realized that the people were gathered according to the color of their clothes. The sight caused the pair of eyebrows above his blue eyes to furrow deeply.

“Why are they gathering like that, Ma Qiao?” Standing in a corner of the palace ground, Bai Chen questioned his servant.

“Why are they gathering like that, Your Highness?” The old servant innocently asked back instead of answering, and the question caused Bai Chen to sigh heavily knowing that he couldn’t rely on the old processor in the servant’s head.

“I can see that people here flock to one another based on the color of their clothes,” Bai Chen carefully outlined his question to his slow servant. “Why are those people gathered in groups with people wearing the same clothes? Did they come here in uniform? Is that their dress code or something?”

.....

Some people in green clothes gathered, some in purple also gathered into one group, and there were still several groups of people in the palace courtyard who also gathered based on the color of their clothes.

That was why Bai Chen thought that this event was like an open event for students from different schools, and when the event was about to start, the students would gather at the venue, but they would still stay with other students from their school who were wearing the same uniform.

Subconsciously, Bai Chen thought that he was time traveling to his school days when an event like this happened at that time, and he was also left alone in a corner because he had no friends even from his own school.

“What is the dress code, Your Highness?” Ma Qiao asked in confusion. “Apart from the Princes or Princesses in the Dong Lang Empire and the human empire who can join the event, several sects in the human empire can also join the event, Your Highness. The people gathered in the same color of clothing are from the same sect.”

Bai Chen’s lips formed an “O” shape. He had just remembered reading a few cultivation novels, and the word ‘sect’ was no longer new to his ears.

If those people dared to join such a dangerous event, then they would surely not only be ordinary people, but they were cultivators.

And Ma Qiao also said that Princes and Princesses could also join the event, but he was sure that those with high status would not join this dangerous event if they did not have combat abilities.

The Princes and Princesses who dared to enter this event were probably the disciples of some famous masters, and that was why they were brave enough to take part in the event.

Perhaps he was the only one without a master, and Bai Chen felt his body shrink when he saw the strong people around him. Those people even carry a sword, and even if he also carried a sword right now, he knew that his sword was different from theirs.

Raising his hand to look at the sword in his right hand, Bai Chen believed that it was just an ordinary sword, and maybe Feng Qingshan just picked it up in the warehouse and randomly handed it to him.

In the cultivation novels he used to read in his previous life, he read that the sword must have a spiritual connection with its master, but he did not feel any connection when he held the sword. Sure enough, the sword in his hand was just ordinary.

“I didn’t expect that you didn’t run away from the event, Bai Chen.”

A familiar voice greeted his ears, and Bai Chen shifted his blue eyes from his sword to the person who had just spoken to him.

From the sarcastic tone alone, Bai Chen could tell that it was Bai Renshu who had just spoken to him, and he guessed it accurately the moment his blue eyes came into contact with another pair of blue crystals.

Bai Renshu walked toward him before stopping in front of him. Like a smart robot, Bai Chen’s mind immediately activated protection mode when he was around the Crown Prince.

‘If it were really a robot, then it would be easier for me to get rid of this bastard Crown Prince,’ Bai Chen groaned inwardly.

He could only hope that he was a robot because he admitted that he was weaker than the Crown Prince. Even if he hated the Crown Prince, he knew that he would not win if he fought the white-haired man.

“I can see that you are carrying a sword,” continued the Crown Prince as he glanced at the sword in Bai Chen’s hand, but Bai Chen reflectively hid the sword behind his back.

It wasn’t that Bai Chen was afraid that the older man would steal his sword, but he just felt ashamed because he knew that his sword was just a crippled sword with no supernatural power. Perhaps it couldn’t even cause a shallow wound if he used it on a beast.

Seeing Bai Chen’s sudden movement, Bai Renshu chuckled. “Easy. I wouldn’t steal a stupid toy like that.”

See? In Bai Renshu’s eyes, his sword was like a toy, and Bai Chen suddenly regretted his decision to carry a sword today.

“You should have told me that you needed a sword, Bai Chen,” Bai Renshu spoke again. “Now you are even embarrassing yourself in front of Shao Meihui’s eyes.”

Suddenly, Bai Chen forgot about the sword-related matter when he heard the Crown Prince mention a familiar name. “Shao Meihui is also here?” He asked.

He still remembered when the Crown Prince said that Shao Meihui would also participate in the event, but he had almost forgotten it because he was too focused on his embarrassing sword.

“Of course, she’s here,” Bai Renshu replied calmly as he turned his gaze in a certain direction. “Over there, can you see a girl with black hair and black clothes? That’s Shao Meihui,” he added as he used his index finger to point at a girl standing with her group quite a distance from them.

When Bai Chen followed the direction and his blue eyes caught the black-clothed girl, he could hear a system sound in his head.

{DING!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

A NEW CHARACTER WAS DETECTED:

NAME: SHAO MEIHUI

AGE: 24

ROLE: THE SECOND DAUGHTER OF THE HEAD OF BLACK WEREWOLF CLAN}

The information from the system was quite useful, and now he knew that Shao Meihui was two years older than him. The girl was indeed older than him, but Bai Chen didn’t see it as a problem if he had to marry an older woman.

How could he protest when Shao Meihui was that beautiful? The girl’s long hair was as dark as night, and her clothes were no less dark than the hair. However, she had such a fair complexion, and the contrast between the dark and bright was astonishing.

It was like the contrast between a luminous moon and a black sky, and Bai Chen couldn’t even take his eyes off the girl. In his heart, he admitted that Shao Meihui was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

Even if there were many beautiful celebrities in his previous life, he dared to say that Shao Meihui was more beautiful than those celebrities.

‘Her name and face match each other very well,’ Bai Chen praised in his heart.

Even if he was transmigrated into a gay Werewolf Prince, he was still a straight man, and he was still attracted when he saw the beautiful girl.

Bai Chen continued to stare at the girl longingly, and he didn’t even notice that Bai Renshu was sneering at his silly behavior.

“Shao Meihui is very beautiful, isn’t she?” Finally, Bai Renshu’s question managed to catch Bai Chen’s attention. “Unfortunately, you won’t be able to marry her after the event, Bai Chen. I can guarantee that you won’t be able to marry her after the event.”

It wasn’t an immediate warning that came from Bai Renshu, but to Bai Chen’s ears, it sounded like a threat. ‘Is Ma Qiao right about Bai Renshu going to kill me during the Beast Hunting Event?’
