Chapter 84
The sun was shining brightly in the blue sky, and his white robes were drenched in sweat. Even his brown hair was damp, his face was wet, and he looked like he had just fallen into the fish pond in the garden pavilion.
But, he was not that clumsy to fall into the fish pond, and the reason why he was in that state was because of the second rank werewolf named Feng Qingshan. Yes, now he could remember the name of the Sentinel that Ma Qiao had hired to help him prepare for the Beast Hunting Event.
The man’s name was Feng Qingshan, and he had such a tall and burly body, and his thick black hair only added to the terrifying features on the man’s face.
However, Bai Chen was certain that he had never met the man before they began their training period in his palace, so he had no idea what kind of grudge the man had so he had continued torturing him for a few days now.
It was Bai Chen’s third day under Feng Qingshan’s tutelage as he tried to prepare for the Beast Hunting Event, but he thought that the man was just tormenting him rather than giving him proper training.
That giant-like guy liked to ask him to run around the training ground every day, and he also asked him to do push-ups today.
That was why Bai Chen looked like he was worshiping the ground as he kept his body close to it, his palms kept pressing on it, and even his eyes didn’t move from it as if it was the most stunning sight he could see at the moment.
When he was too tired, he even almost kissed the ground, and he felt like he was starting to have an intimate relationship with the ground at this point.
.....
Not even once did the man teach him how to fight, and when he couldn’t take it anymore, he suddenly rose from his position and glared at the young man who was sitting under a tree while fanning his face with a folding fan made of paper.
That was HIS folding fan, but a mere Sentinel dared to use it to help himself survive the heat when he almost died under the scorching sun.
Now Bai Chen was once again questioning his royal title when a youth with a lower status than him dared to humiliate him to this point.
Feng Qingshan was still young, and Bai Chen thought that the man might be the same age as him. Even though it was only yesterday that he asked Ma Qiao about the man’s name again, he did not think that the man’s name was bad, and it was completely the opposite of the man’s evil character.
Ma Qiao told him that the ‘Qing’ came from a character meaning ‘green,’ while the ‘Shan’ came from a character meaning ‘mountain.’ The green mountain was supposed to be a beautiful sight that could soothe a weary mind, but the owner of that name had an opposite character.
“Hey, Feng Qingshan,” Bai Chen spoke as he stood in front of Feng Qingshan, who was still sitting leaning against the tree trunk. “When are you going to stop torturing me? I only have four days left before the Beast Hunting Event in the Forbidden Forest, but you never taught me how to fight. Do you have a problem with me? Just tell me if you have a problem with me.”
Bai Chen really couldn’t take it anymore. His appearance was very disheveled because he continued to train on a sunny day, and his fair skin was even burnt in some places. He once again cursed his luck because there was no sunscreen or maybe sunblock in this world.
“What do you say, Your Highness?” Having his hand behind his head as he leaned against the trunk, Feng Qingshan carelessly questioned the Prince. “Do you think it will be easy for you to learn how to fight? You are a Delta, and a Delta has no innate physical strength in their body. If I directly teach you how to fight without giving you basic training, it will only damage your body. Do you want to destroy your body before the event started?”
Feng Qingshan was like a biology teacher teaching in front of the class, and Bai Chen did not immediately respond to the man’s words.
When he found out about the werewolf ranks, he thought he would be a Beta, but he turned out to be a Delta instead. Delta had no fighting ability, and he could understand it because he wasn’t a pure-blood werewolf in this world.
And after hearing Feng Qingshan’s explanation, he secretly admitted that the man was not wrong. Even an athlete needed to warm up before starting a match, and he would also need to do some basic training before he could learn to fight.
With that in mind, Bai Chen chose to relent as he turned his body and walked back to his previous position. He didn’t even notice that Feng Qingshan was smirking at him when he returned to his push-up position once more.
Bai Chen did not pay attention to the expression on Feng Qingshan’s face, and he simply continued his training without saying a word. In his heart, he only wanted to become stronger so that he could survive the Beast Hunting Festival.
Last night, Bai Lang didn’t even guarantee that he would be able to survive, so Bai Chen wanted to work hard today.
The little white wolf only said that the system would give him a new mission that was related to Zhu Ge after the Beast Hunting event, but then he remembered that he also had other business after the event.
Yes, the Emperor said that he needed to marry a girl from the Black Werewolf Clan after the event, and he had forgotten to ask Bai Lang about it last night.
It wasn’t that he was sure Bai Lang would be willing to enlighten him about the Emperor’s plans, but Bai Chen thought that he should have seized the opportunity last night.
‘Oh, that’s not right. Bai Lang told me that I have to find the answer to my every question by myself, so I can’t always rely on him,’ he thought as he recalled what Bai Lang told him last night.
Shaking his head as he tried to concentrate on his training again, Bai Chen once again fixed his blue eyes on the ground, but then a pair of shoes suddenly appeared right before his eyes.
Frowning because he couldn’t recognize the shoes, Bai Chen then raised his gaze so that he could see the owner of the shoes. And his body froze when he saw that Bai Renshu was the one standing in front of him.
“I don’t know that you respect me so much to the point you’re willing to worship me, Bai Chen.”
Bai Chen felt like spitting saliva on Bai Renshu’s shoes when he heard that confident statement. ‘I prefer to worship the ground than worship you,’ he answered in his heart.
Bai Renshu’s words did humiliate him, but Bai Chen chose to get up without responding to the man’s statement.
Greeting the Crown Prince formally, he then noticed how Ma Qiao was standing behind Bai Renshu awkwardly.
Ma Qiao didn’t speak to him verbally, but the maid made a gesture that said, “The Crown Prince suddenly came to the palace and asked me to bring him to you, Your Highness! I have no choice!”
Ma Qiao looked terrified, but Bai Chen didn’t blame the poor servant. The training ground he was currently training at was still within his palace, so when the Crown Prince came to his palace, it didn’t take long for the man to find him.
“I didn’t know that you would visit my palace, Your Highness,” Bai Chen spoke politely to the older Prince.
“I didn’t want to come here either,” Bai Renshu replied arrogantly. “But I don’t regret coming here because I can see how much you adore me.”
Bai Chen almost rolled his eyes. It was upsetting because his head was indeed at the same level as the Crown Prince’s feet when the Crown Prince suddenly arrived, and it was indeed a shame for him.
“Perhaps it was my fault that you ended up misunderstanding me, Your Highness,” Bai Chen replied. “I exercised so diligently that I failed to notice your presence, so I can understand if you misunderstood.”
Bai Chen sounded proud of his answer, and the Crown Prince looked amused after hearing it. “So, you’re preparing for the Beast Hunting Event, ah? Are you sure that you can even stay alive in the Forbidden Forest for ten minutes? You want to make a bet with me?”
