83 LONG NAILS, SHARP FANGS
Ma Qiao had told him that the werewolves would only be greatly affected by the moonlight at night, and they could still go about their normal activities during the day.
Perhaps it wouldn’t be completely normal as the night of the full moon approached, but Bai Chen was relieved that he was still able to prepare for the Beast Hunting Event from morning to evening today.
That was what he did today with the Sentinel who was hired by Ma Qiao. Ma Qiao had told him the man’s name, but he couldn’t remember it because he immediately received training from the man who was working as a soldier in the Imperial Palace.
The second rank werewolves had combat abilities apart from shapeshifting abilities, and Bai Chen had no knowledge of either ability. However, werewolves participating in the Beast Hunting Event were not allowed to transform into their wolf forms, so Bai Chen only focused on training his combat abilities.
As a third rank werewolf, Bai Chen had no innate talent for fighting, but he was still very enthusiastic about learning from a Sentinel whose name he couldn’t even remember.
The brown-haired prince expected that he would receive some combat training from the man today. In his previous life, he had always admired people who could fight, and he wished he could be as cool as them when he finally received training from a professional.
Unfortunately, on the first day of training, the Sentinel just asked him to run around the training ground without giving him a proper lesson. That man said that basic training like running was necessary before Bai Chen could start with more intense training, so Bai Chen didn’t protest and just did as he was told.
He kept running and running, and by the time he nearly passed out on the training ground, it was almost dusk. No wonder Bai Chen felt like passing out since he had been running for several hours.
He had indeed only run at the training ground, but if he counted the kilometers he had covered during the run, he was sure it would be like running a marathon.
.....
Even in his previous life, he wasn’t a sports fan, and it was like training in Hell when his body was being tortured by the Sentinel.
Bai Chen’s body felt like it was going to burst when he just finished his dinner and lay in his bed tonight. Even though the bed wasn’t as soft as the one he had in his previous life, he couldn’t protest because he knew that the people in this world could only make beds manually.
Bai Chen was exhausted, but suddenly, he could feel something was wrong with his body. Bringing his body to sit up, he felt a strangeness in his mouth as well as his fingers.
He was about to bring his hand to touch his mouth, but then he caught a glimpse of what was happening with his fingers.
He didn’t continue to use his hand to touch his mouth, and instead, he brought it in front of his face before his blue eyes began to scan his digits. His blue eyes which resembled the color of the ocean widened when he saw how his fingernails had lengthened in the blink of an eye.
When he brought his eyes to look at his feet, he could see how his toenails experienced the same thing. All nails lengthened in such a short time, and that was frightening.
He also kept feeling that something was wrong with his mouth, so he immediately got off the bed and ran towards the mirror on the table.
Grabbing the mirror, he then opened his mouth to see what was going on there. He once again felt surprised when he saw his fangs grow longer as well, and they also looked pointed as if they were ready to tear the skin before his eyes.
Bai Chen subconsciously glanced at the open window, and he could see that the moon wasn’t even in its full shape. However, deep down, he knew that the changes in his body were the effects of the approaching full moon night.
The werewolf Prince suddenly felt numb, and he immediately plopped down on the chair. Ma Qiao had told him that all werewolves would turn into wolves on the night of the full moon, and a week before and after the full moon, the wolves would also experience strangeness in their bodies.
Now Bai Chen knew what kind of oddity Ma Qiao was talking about. Even if only his nails and fangs changed tonight, he had already seen that he was no longer a normal human in this world.
Ma Qiao said that the real Bai Chen used to lock himself in the pavilion during the full moon period, and that was why the servant didn’t know what kind of change he had gone through. However, he was sure the real Bai Chen was going through the same thing as him tonight.
He didn’t know the reason why the real Bai Chen chose to stay in Jing Pavilion during that period, and his curiosity tickled his conscience.
“Bai Lang...” He whispered, and his whisper also came out strangely because he was not used to the fangs in his mouth.
He couldn’t even close his mouth properly, and for some reason, he also felt hungry even if he had just finished his dinner. Now Bai Chen realized that the moon not only affected his physique but also affected his stomach.
The presence of the fangs in his mouth and the uncomfortable feeling in his stomach did bother him, but Bai Chen still said that name because he needed to see the little wolf now.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
It was the first time he had summoned the white wolf, and he didn’t even know whether the wolf would come to him or not.
But, he was quite lucky because the white wolf did appear before his eyes. As usual, the little wolf looked so mighty as he sat on a chair not far from the brown-haired Prince.
“I can see your changes, Bai Chen. Maybe you can try using all four of your limbs to walk now so you won’t be so surprised when you turn into a wolf next week,” Bai Lang spoke casually, and Bai Chen’s jaw hardened.
“You didn’t even tell me about this, Bai Lang!” Replied the young Prince. “You didn’t tell me about the full moon, and neither did you tell me that the werewolves in this empire needed to eat human flesh that night. And don’t say that you didn’t tell me about everything because I didn’t ask!”
Bai Chen was indeed disappointed with the white wolf, and he even rebuked the white wolf because the wolf did use that excuse every time Bai Chen asked for clarification.
“I see that you are getting smarter,” Bai Lang commented as a small smile spread across its face. “It is true that you will turn into your wolf form on a full moon night, and it will also be more difficult for you to control yourself that night. But, you don’t have to worry because you don’t need to eat human flesh to survive the night.”
Bai Chen was furious, but what Bai Lang had just said gave him some hope. “Really? I don’t need to eat human flesh that night?” He was eager to find an answer, and he immediately asked the little wolf.
The thought of how he would have to eat human flesh made him want to vomit. Maybe he was a werewolf in this world, but he was just an ordinary human in his previous life.
How could a human eat another human? Bai Chen didn’t even know why the royal family and officials in the Imperial Palace could throw a feast with human flesh when they had signed a peace treaty with the human empire.
Right. That was also the thing that bothered him, so he immediately asked Bai Lang one more time.
Unfortunately, Bai Lang’s answer did not satisfy him, “About that, you will have to wait until the night of the full moon to find the answer. You must not be that greedy, Bai Chen. You cannot always ask me for anything, and you must find the answer yourself.”
Bai Chen grumbled inwardly after hearing Bai Lang’s answer. The white wolf did know everything in this world but was too stingy to tell him even for a small matter.
“And I can see that you have a good relationship with Zhu Ge now, Bai Chen.”
The owner of the name was silent while cursing the white wolf in his heart, but then he looked surprised to hear Bai Lang’s statement. “You know something about Zhu Ge, right?” He asked back instead of answering.
Hearing how bold Bai Chen was with his question, Bai Lang smirked before replying, “I know a lot about Zhu Ge, and I’ll give you a spoiler, Bai Chen. If you manage to survive the Beast Hunting Event, the system will give you a mission related to Zhu Ge.”
