88 THE WOLF’S DESIRE
It felt like his entire body was burning from the inside as if someone had lit a fire under his skin. He felt extremely hot, and when he glanced at the open window in the Jing Pavilion, he could see a perfect silver disc hanging in the black sky.
It was indeed the same full moon he had often seen when he was in his previous life, but the same object had a different effect on him after he transmigrated to this world.
In his previous life, every time he saw the full moon, his heart somehow calmed down, and he could even stare at the silver satellite for a long time.
However, everything had changed after he died in his previous life and transmigrated to this new world, and he could no longer feel at ease as the full moon sat on the throne in the black sky tonight.
Tonight was indeed the full moon night he had been anticipating since he found out about it from Ma Qiao, and he could feel how his body felt extremely strange tonight. He was pretty sure that it was the effect of the full moon.
Before tonight, he had also experienced strange things with his body like how his nails and fangs had grown longer and sharper a week ago. Night after night, he experienced more as he drew near to the night of the full moon.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
One night, Bai Chen could feel a pair of furry ears appearing above his head, and he could also see how his hands were turning into claws. Additionally, he also discovered how he suddenly had a tail behind him.
He even screamed when he saw how his tail had suddenly appeared, and he also found it strange when he brought his hand to touch it. There was some fiction about the ‘hybrid’ in his previous life, and he thought that he was no different from a hybrid when he had a tail and a pair of wolf ears on top of his head.
For some reason, he assumed that he couldn’t control his body as the full moon approached, and that was why the wolf trait in his body had started to appear in the past week.
.....
And tonight he couldn’t control his body either because of the power of the full moon. He didn’t even know how the full moon managed to destroy the werewolf’s sanity, and even after he used his brain to find the answer, he still couldn’t.
Instead of finding an answer, Bai Chen felt that he was starting to lose his sanity because he couldn’t stand the burning sensation in his body anymore. In the end, he stripped himself because he couldn’t take it anymore.
Bai Chen had indeed removed all the cloth covering his body, and now he was completely naked like a newborn. And after he was no longer wearing any clothes, he suddenly felt something that felt like pushing him from within, and without knowing the reason, he was already standing on four legs instead of two.
When Bai Chen turned his gaze to his feet, he discovered that he was now standing on four furry legs instead of two human legs. His heart pounded even faster at the realization, and he could also feel that his body had changed.
But, feeling the need to get a better look at his body, he awkwardly moved all four legs before having a hard time lifting his front paws onto the table.
He tried to hold the table only to see his reflection in the mirror, and when his blue eyes looked the mirror, he did not see the handsome man Bai Chen anymore, but he only saw a brown wolf with a pair of blue eyes.
Even if he knew that he would turn into a wolf on a full moon night, Bai Chen was still shocked by the transformation. He did see Bai Lang often, but Bai Lang was a cute little wolf, completely different from him in the form of a big wolf.
He was indeed an adult wolf with sharp fangs and claws, even his fur was very thick, and it was brown just like the color of his hair when he was in his human form.
Now he could understand what it meant to be a brown wolf with a pair of blue eyes, and his eyes suddenly caught the reflection of the jade pendant around his neck.
After taking a shower this afternoon, he decided to wear the necklace he received from Bai Renshu, and now it was hanging around his neck. He was wearing nothing but the necklace, and he suddenly felt embarrassed.
However, before he could use his brain to think, he suddenly felt extremely hungry in his stomach as if he had not eaten for years. He had never been this hungry before, and he felt like there was a big hole in his stomach that he could eat anything at this time.
That hunger had probably eaten his brain as well, and even though it only had a connotative meaning, he indeed couldn’t think straight because he only knew that he wanted to eat now.
He once again stood on all four legs, and he growled as he felt the emptiness in his stomach. He wanted to eat, and without knowing the reason, he really wanted to eat meat right now.
Maybe it was instinct, and being a carnivore, he just wanted to eat meat now. He couldn’t even control his urge as he continued to growl, but he suddenly heard a voice in his head as a familiar translucent blue screen flashed before his eyes.
{DING!
MISSION REMINDER!
ACCEPT THE EMPEROR’S INVITATION AND ATTEND THE FEAST IN THE IMPERIAL PALACE ON THE FULL MOON NIGHT}
The growl grew louder after he heard the system sound, but he was still able to use his rationality knowing that he still had a mission he had to do.
He had accepted the Emperor’s invitation, and he only needed to go to the Imperial Palace to earn reward points now. It didn’t seem difficult, and Bai Chen just wanted to complete his mission as quickly as possible.
Turning his body, he once again walked on his four legs. He was still not used to walking on four legs, even his brain couldn’t work properly at a time like this, and when he saw the door of Jing Pavilion closed, he didn’t bother trying to open it properly as he immediately used his front paws to kick the door.
He was even surprised by his strength when he could easily break down the door when he was in wolf form, and he even surprised the other wolf standing in front of the Jing Pavilion.
It was a black wolf, and Bai Chen felt alarmed when he failed to recognize the wolf with a pair of dark eyes.
“Your Highness...” He could hear the black wolf growling, and he frowned as he tried to recognize the wolf.
“Ma Qiao?” Bai Chen said those words with his wolf mouth, and he was even surprised by his own voice.
He didn’t expect that he would be able to speak when he was in his wolf form, but he was wrong because he could still speak like he did when he was in his human form.
And perhaps the black wolf standing before him was indeed his servant, Ma Qiao. The wolf’s body was smaller than Bai Chen’s, but just as Bai Chen was trying hard to suppress his urge to eat, the black wolf looked like it was suppressing himself as well.
On a full moon night, all the werewolves in the Dong Lang Empire only had the urge to eat their bodies, and they would even go crazy if they saw human flesh.
Bai Chen could understand the situation, and that was why he simply signaled for the other wolf to start walking toward the Rongyao Imperial Palace.
The night wasn’t too dark as the full moon lit up the dark sky with its light, but for some reason, Bai Chen felt that the night air was extremely terrifying. He could hear wolves howling in the distance, and he had no idea what was happening as he continued to walk timidly.
“You don’t have to worry, Your Highness,” Ma Qiao once again spoke to him with a growl. “The imperial palace has provided enough meat for everyone in the empire, so all the wolves are eating happily now.”
Bai Chen gulped nervously before asking his servant, “Do they eat... human flesh?”
He couldn’t imagine if everyone in the Dong Lang Empire really ate human flesh on this full moon night, and he could heave a sigh of relief when Ma Qiao said that other wolves outside the imperial palace only ate animal flesh.
Bai Chen did feel relieved, but when he and his servant finally arrived at the front gate of the Rongyao Imperial Palace, he almost fainted when he saw how two huge wolves were hungry eating something on the ground, and it looked like... a human head.
