Chapter 248



When they were on their way from the river to the small house in the middle of the forest, Wu Jinhai managed to capture a deer, and the man said that the deer would be Bai Chen’s dinner tonight.

In his previous life, Bai Chen preferred fish to meat for some reason, but since he had transmigrated to become a werewolf now, he could tell that his stomach liked meat more than fish. Furthermore, the golden scales on Wu Jinhai’s forehead continued reminding him that the man sitting in front of him was a half-fish demon, and that was why he suddenly lost his appetite to eat fish.

If he said he wanted to eat fish, Wu Jinhai probably would be in his perverted mode, and the man probably would say that he was ready to serve on the table and be eaten, right?

Maybe that was what Zhu Ge would do, but Bai Chen now knew that Wu Jinhai and Zhu Ge were one person. He just didn’t know which one of them was the real personality of Wu Li’s Eldest Prince.

“Just finish your food first, and I will carefully explain everything about Wu Jiang to you,” Wu Jinhai said as he grabbed a bowl of grilled deer and handed it to Bai Chen. “I’m not a good cook, and I just randomly grilled the deer to make it edible for you. I noticed that you preferred cooked food, and that’s why I didn’t ask you to ask for raw food.”

Bai Chen couldn’t even imagine if he had to eat raw food. Even after he woke up as a Werewolf Prince in this world, he still felt like vomiting when his eyes saw flesh and his nose smelled blood, and that was why he indeed couldn’t eat raw food.

Thankfully, with Wu Jinhai’s limited cooking skill, the man still managed to turn the deer into something edible, and that was why Bai Chen didn’t complain as he accepted the bowl from Wu Jinhai’s hand before grabbing a pair of chopsticks and started digging his food.

In the yard in front of the house, Wu Jinhai had set up a bonfire to dispel the darkness. Sure enough, Wu Jinhai knew that Bai Chen could see in the dark, but he still set up the bonfire, and Bai Chen suddenly remembered something as he paused his movement that was about to bring the meat to his mouth.

.....

“When we were in the Forbidden Forest, you only lied to me when you said that you couldn’t see in the dark, right?” That was the question that escaped Bai Chen’s lips when he remembered how the masked man pretended to be ‘blind’ when the night fell.

True, the man sitting across from him no longer wore his ugly golden mask at the moment, but Bai Chen had to remind himself that the man was still Wu Jinhai of Wu Li whom he first met in the Forbidden Forest, and that was why he couldn’t help but think about what happened in the Forbidden Forest once again.

“That’s right. I only lied to you when I told you that I couldn’t see in the dark,” Wu Jinhai confirmed, and Bai Chen’s chest burned when he once again felt anger start accumulating in that place after hearing how the taller man once again confirmed another lie.

If he tried to count how many times Wu Jinhai had lied to him, then it wouldn’t be enough if he only used all the fingers on his hands to do that. Instead, he probably would need to use every brown strand on his scalp to count the man’s lie, and that probably would take some time until he finished.

In the end, Bai Chen didn’t want to waste his time by counting the man’s lies, and that was why he only heaved a heavy sigh before continuing what he was about to do with the bowl in his hand.

“But maybe I have to say that I only half lied to you back then, Bai Chen,” Wu Jinhai spoke again, and it was enough to pause Bai Chen’s movement. “You can see how my eyes are brown now, right? They are just like normal human eyes now, and I won’t be able to see anything without the bonfire. I will only have a sharper sense when I change my eye color to golden.”

This time, Bai Chen looked surprised. He noticed how the man’s eye color was indeed brown, and he just realized that he had never seen the man’s golden eyes.

“Why didn’t you change your eye color to golden now?” Asked Bai Chen as he suddenly felt curious.

Unfortunately, instead of immediately granting his wish, Wu Jinhai only smiled before saying, “Eat first, Bai Chen. The deer won’t taste good once it’s cold.”

In the end, Wu Jinhai won again, and Bai Chen was forced to swallow his curiosity as he complied with the man’s order. His right hand was holding a pair of chopsticks, and skillfully, he used them to pick a piece of meat inside the bowl before bringing it to his mouth.

He used his teeth to chew the meat, and he could only use one sentence to describe the food: it tasted like a hard rubber band.

Bai Chen indeed had never brought a rubber band into his mouth, but how it was difficult for his teeth to chew the meat immediately gave him a sensation as if he was chewing a rubber band now. It was so hard in his mouth, and the only taste his tongue could feel was the taste of salt.

Bai Chen didn’t even feel curious about how Wu Jinhai had tried to prepare cooked food for him. In his heart, he knew so well that the man in red only carelessly threw the poor deer into the fire before scattering a bowl of salt on top of it.

He didn’t want to be an ungrateful brat, but the hardness and the saltiness of the deer meat were too much, and that was why he carefully placed the bowl on top of the table before his hand grabbed a cup of water and immediately sipped the content to relieve him from the misery he had just felt.

Even his eyes got teary, and it didn’t go unnoticed by Wu Jinhai. Seeing Bai Chen’s strange attitude, the black-haired man frowned before asking, “What’s wrong with the food? It’s not delicious?”

Bai Chen almost choked on his drink when he heard Wu Jinhai’s innocent question. So, Wu Jinhai even confidently thought that the food was delicious? Bai Chen facepalmed, but instead of using his voice to answer the question, he only shook his head to answer the man’s question.

Bai Chen was disappointed, and Wu Jinhai was also disappointed, but then the latter said, “If the deer is not delicious, do you want to eat fish instead?”
