Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

90 CRIMINALS DESERVE TO DIE

When Bai Chen woke up in the morning, he felt like he was having a nightmare last night. The images of how human bodies were torn apart by hungry wolves kept playing in his mind, and even after he returned to his palace, he couldn’t get rid of them.

He was indeed able to return to his palace after speaking with the Emperor and the Crown Prince. He was surprised by the information about Shao Meihui’s rank, but he did not question the Crown Prince any further.

In the end, he told the two white wolves that he would return to his palace, and the two wolves were initially against the idea. They still forced Bai Chen to taste human flesh, and the Emperor even ordered a servant to serve a plate of human flesh to the brown wolf.

The servant had indeed brought him a plate of human flesh, and he was once again torn between his desire and his refusal.

He even nearly lost control of himself from being tempted by the fresh meat, but he was still lucky that he managed to retreat before actually leaving the palace.

He could hear the two white wolves laughing at his strange behavior, but he paid them no mind as he continued walking toward his palace.

He went to the Imperial Palace with his servant, but he returned to his palace by himself because he couldn’t find Ma Qiao in the Imperial Palace.

Perhaps the old servant was also controlled by his desires and forgot that he came with the Prince and should have returned with the Prince as well.

Last night, after arriving at his palace, Bai Chen headed for the kitchen instead of the Jing Pavilion.

.....

He had asked the palace cook to cook meat for him so he could use it to satisfy his hunger, and he ended up clearing every plate in the kitchen because he felt his stomach had become a bottomless pit from not feeling full even eating a lot of meat.

Ma Qiao was right, he did need human flesh if he wanted to quickly satisfy his craving, but he chose to eat cooked meat instead, and he did need a lot of servings before he could think straight once again.

After feeling better, he then walked back to Jing Pavilion and immediately placed himself on the bed. He didn’t even notice how he fell asleep, but when he woke up in the morning, he felt naked with no cloth covering his beautiful body.

He didn’t cover himself with the blanket last night because he was still in wolf form, and he screamed in a panic the next morning because he was embarrassed.

Hearing the screams, Ma Qiao shouted from outside the pavilion, asking about his condition, but the Prince just shouted back and said that he was fine.

He didn’t want the servant to suddenly barge in, and he just quietly put on his clothes before exiting the pavilion. And when he arrived in front of the pavilion, he could see Ma Qiao smiling brightly at him.

It was indeed Ma Qiao who was standing in front of him, no longer the black wolf who could only growl in hunger before leaving him alone in the Rongyao Imperial Palace.

“How was your sleep, Your Highness?” The old servant questioned the young man, causing the youth to snort in response.

“You dare ask me that question, ah?” Bai Chen asked the servant instead of answering. “Last night, you even forgot about me and left me alone, but today your face looks as bright as a sunflower.”

Bai Chen was being sarcastic, and the servant smiled sheepishly while rubbing the nape of his neck. “My apologies, Your Highness,” he apologized shyly. “Last night, I couldn’t control my cravings at all when I saw how delicious human flesh was. I felt like I was possessed, Your Highness!”

Hearing the servant’s excuse, the Prince rolled his eyes. He actually didn’t blame the servant as he also had almost failed to control his urge last night.

When he saw human flesh, he also wanted to devour it until his stomach was full, but he tried hard to maintain his sanity and humanity. As a result, he felt proud of himself for being able to defeat his desire.

“So, you joined other wolves last night to eat human flesh? Did you run into wolves from the Black Werewolf Clan too?” The system bribed him by saying that he would be able to meet the members of the Black Werewolf Clan last night, but the wolves were too busy to please their bellies, so Bai Chen didn’t get the chance to meet them in person.

“Are you curious about the Black Werewolf Clan, Your Highness?” The servant asked back instead of answering. “But, I did see them in the Imperial Palace last night. The Black Werewolf Clan was also there last night, and it was the first time the Emperor had invited them to a feast on a full moon night. Maybe it’s because of the wedding plan between you and Young Lady Shao, Your Highness.”

It was new information for Bai Chen, and he secretly made some notes about it. The Black Werewolf Clan was in the opposition party, and they weren’t part of the officials in the palace, so it was unusual for the clan to be invited to the feast last night.

Bai Chen tacitly agreed with his servant that the reason behind it was probably the wedding plan.

“I have one more question for you, Ma Qiao,” after nodding his head at the old servant, Bai Chen decided to voice something else that had been bothering him since last night. “Werewolves and humans have signed a peace treaty, but werewolves can still eat human flesh during full moon nights. How could such a thing happen? Wouldn’t that harm the relationship between werewolves and humans?”

Ever since Bai Chen found out about the importance of the full moon night to werewolves, he was curious about the fact that werewolves could eat human flesh that night.

He wasn’t even sure if the humans knew about the matter, and that was why he decided to ask his servant about it.

“I guess you don’t know about it since you’ve never participated in a feast before, Your Highness,” the older man replied. “However, you don’t have to worry about that matter because the Dong Lang Empire can host such a feast with the support of humans. Actually, it is the human empire that provides humans as the main course of the feast.”

Now, Bai Chen couldn’t hide his surprise after hearing Ma Qiao’s explanation. “How could humans allow werewolves to eat their kind? It’s unbelievable!” He responded.

That kind of thing was indeed unbelievable in Bai Chen’s eyes. Allowing other humans to become the werewolf’s food was no different from cannibalism in Bai Chen’s eyes. It wasn’t humans that devoured other humans, but it still made no difference to Bai Chen.

Seeing how the Prince continued to frown as he showed his disapproval, Ma Qiao sighed before explaining, “Actually, the humans sent by the human empire are not just mere mortals, Your Highness. They are dangerous criminals in the human empire, and they deserve death as their punishment.”

Instead of being satisfied with Ma Qiao’s explanation, Bai Chen fell silent. He knew the death penalty for criminals who had committed deadly sins, but he still didn’t think that those criminals deserved to be eaten by werewolves like that.

He didn’t know how the laws worked in this world, but thinking about it was enough to make his head spin. ‘This world really needs a kick,’ he lamented, massaging his sore temple.

Ma Qiao felt his behavior was strange, and that was why the servant questioned him again, “Are you all right, Your Highness? I haven’t asked yet, but did you eat human flesh last night?”

The servant still had the audacity to ask that question even after seeing his reaction, and Bai Chen cursed the servant inwardly.

“Yes!” He exclaimed as he tried to control his anger. “I did eat human flesh, and it tasted really good! You’re right that human flesh is delicious, Ma Qiao!”

Bai Chen was being sarcastic, but Ma Qiao’s eyes lit up upon hearing his satire. It seemed that the servant didn’t even notice that he was furious now, and in the end, the old man kept talking about how delicious human flesh was, and he even asked Bai Chen to wait for the next full moon so they could join in the next party at Rongyao Imperial Palace.

Bai Chen wanted to slap the servant on the mouth, but he didn’t do that and just quickly walked toward the bathroom. Last night was very tiring, and he needed a hot bath. He knew that he not only needed to cleanse his body but also needed to clear his mind.

He desperately needed hot water to relax his mind. ‘I’ve been through the crazy feast, but the Beast Hunting Event awaits me ahead. What will happen to me in that event?’
