Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

111 COLDER THAN HEPING MOUNTAIN

Wu Jinhai. Instead of directly answering Bai Chen’s question, he ordered the Werewolf Prince to look for some tree branches and stones so he could make a torch.

Bai Chen felt that the man was taking advantage of his ability to see in the dark, but he did as he was told because he knew that it would be difficult for Wu Jinhai to collect the items without being able to see in the dark.

Even if their status was the same as Princes in their empires, it seemed like Bai Chen was working as Wu Jinhai’s servant as he obediently gathered branches and stones while Wu Jinhai casually crossed his arms in front of his chest and whistled leisurely.

And after Bai Chen came back with the items needed to make a torch again, Wu Jinhai finally started working with the stones to make a fire, and then he lit the biggest tree branch with fire so that he had a torch in his hand now.

With a torch in his hand, Wu Jinhai finally went to check their surroundings. They were indeed in a rocky area of ??the forest now, and there weren’t many trees in that area.

The rocks in the area were black and quite large. There was a fairly flat area between the rocks, and it was covered with grass when Wu Jinhai turned his eyes to look down at the ground.

“We can stay here for the night,” Wu Jinhai decided as he returned to Bai Chen’s side.

“Are you sure about that?” Bai Chen asked. “Do you think it will be saved if we sleep in the open? I guess we should find another cave to live in. You said we couldn’t randomly choose a place to stay, right?”

Bai Chen couldn’t imagine if he needed to sleep in the open when he was in the Forbidden Forest. Even in his previous life, he didn’t like doing outdoor activities, and he often made excuses when his school held outdoor activities.

.....

He didn’t like camping out in the open, and tonight couldn’t be considered camping because they didn’t even bring a tent.

“Do you think I randomly chose this place for us to stay tonight?” Wu Jinhai asked, but Bai Chen felt he couldn’t find the right words to answer the man’s question.

Maybe he was wrong in saying that they shouldn’t pick a place randomly. Wu Jinhai didn’t decide to choose the place without any consideration, and on the contrary, the man even observed the site using the torch in his hand.

“This place is not bad,” Wu Jinhai spoke again as the other Prince remained silent after hearing his question. “There aren’t many trees here, and this place isn’t close to the river either. In a place like this, the beasts couldn’t hide among the dense trees, nor could they hide in the water. This place is good to stay in even if there is no roof here.”

Unfortunately, someone else had used the place that had a roof as a motel, forcing the two of them to stay out in the open tonight.

Wait. Bai Chen suddenly remembered something. “Will you tell me the identity of the two people in the cave now?” He finally asked, repeating his unanswered question because Wu Jinhai was busy ordering him around earlier.

Bai Chen didn’t know whether the taller man did that on purpose or not, but he was quite annoyed by the fact that he even had to lower his body while he was gathering tree branches for the masked man who kept acting haughty in front of him.

Now that the torch was in Wu Jinhai’s hand, Bai Chen immediately repeated himself to get an answer from the taller man. Unfortunately, instead of getting a direct answer from the red-robed man, Bai Chen only heard how the man sighed heavily.

“I did say that this place is quite safe, but we can’t just let our guard down after finding this place,” Wu Jinhai replied again. “Now, instead of gossiping about some things that don’t even have anything to do with us, we should make a bonfire to make sure no beasts dare to approach us tonight.”

Bai Chen felt that Wu Jinhai was just trying to avoid his question, and he frowned at the masked man. “Do you think the beasts here are the same as normal animals? Do you think they wouldn’t come near us if we had a bonfire here?” He asked annoyed.

Perhaps Bai Chen was indeed clueless, but he thought Wu Jinhai treated him like a child to the point that the man would lie to him about beasts not going near them if they had a bonfire.

Bai Chen was furious, but he still tried to keep his emotions in check as he continued to frown at the red-clothed man. And the man once again sighed when he heard Bai Chen’s questions.

“There are indeed some kinds of beasts that are afraid of fire,” Wu Jinhai explained calmly. “I wouldn’t say that all beasts are afraid of fire, but I think it’s still good if we can avoid fire-fearing beasts. Do you agree with me?”

Bai Chen felt one clear difference between him and Wu Jinhai. While he had to admit that he was sometimes too childish and clumsy, Wu Jinhai was very mature and calculating.

Wu Jinhai had indeed panicked while in the cave earlier, but Bai Chen was sure that the man was acting like that because he just didn’t expect what was happening in the cave.

This time, Bai Chen was the one to sigh as he chose to relent. “Alright. Let’s gather more tree branches so we can make a bonfire,” he decided.

Without Bai Chen knowing, Wu Jinhai smiled behind his golden mask. He did smile, but he did not respond verbally to the shorter man as he signaled the man to start gathering tree branches.

There weren’t that many trees in the area, but they were lucky enough to find enough tree branches to make a bonfire without wasting too much time.

Bai Chen was the one who arranged the tree branches for the bonfire, and once it was ready, Wu Jinhai immediately used his torch to light it.

‘I didn’t know that we could make a bonfire without using gasoline or something like that, but it worked for Wu Jinhai,’ he thought as he glanced at the man in red.

Bai Chen couldn’t help but think that Wu Jinhai was like the main character in a who had so many privileges. Then, what was Bai Chen’s role in the ? Maybe he was just an insignificant supporting character.

Wu Jinhai didn’t seem to notice the gaze as he casually threw the torch on the ground before stepping on it until the fire was extinguished.

“Just sit by the bonfire for now. The fire will also help you feel warmer. This forest can be colder than Mount Heping at night,” the masked man spoke without looking at the shorter man.

“What?” Bai Chen looked surprised when he heard Wu Jinhai’s words. “Mount Heping is a snow mountain, but this forest can be colder than a snow mountain at night? How did that happen? I didn’t even see snow when we walked around the forest just now!”

To Bai Chen, Wu Jinhai sounded like he was fooling him. During the day, he felt the forest was quite warm, so he assumed that Wu Jinhai was just trying to scare him by making up stories.

‘In Wu Jinhai’s eyes, I’m indeed only a child, and he thinks I will believe his lies,’ Bai Chen grumbled in his heart as he continued to stare intently at the black-haired man.

Wu Jinhai didn’t look at the man in white, but it seemed that he could sense the man’s intense gaze, and he decided to turn to the man.

“I’m not lying,” as if he could read Bai Chen’s mind, Wu Jinhai replied as he looked into Bai Chen’s pair of blue eyes. “Have you ever heard of the Snow Monster?”

“What is it? Is that monster part of the Monster Inc. movie?” Unknowingly, Bai Chen ended up throwing a lame joke in front of Wu Jinhai, but when he realized his mistake, he immediately covered his mouth with his hand as he anticipated the warning from the system.

But maybe he was lucky now that the system decided to ignore his carelessness this time.

“What is Monster Inc.?” Wu Jinhai asked back instead of answering, and he even tilted his head in confusion. “Some people said that the strongest beast in this forest is the Snow Monster. I have never seen the beast before, but people said that it has the form of a giant bear, but it is so strong that it can cause the temperature of this forest to drop drastically.”

And right after Wu Jinhai finished explaining, Bai Chen felt a chill run down his spine. He could feel the temperature suddenly drop, and he was even reflectively hugging himself. Had Wu Jinhai just jinxed it?
