50 POINTS HAVE BEEN AWARDED TO THE HOST!

CURRENT POINTS: 100}

Even after he entered the Rongyao Imperial Palace and received a notification from the system, Bai Chen still couldn’t shake off the image of when two wolves were hungrily eating a human head in front of the palace gate.

Ma Qiao said that the two wolves were palace guards, and the Emperor also provided them with human flesh so they could think clearly while guarding the gates.

.....

The old servant also told him that werewolves in their wolf form would only be able to think clearly after they had fulfilled their desire to eat, and in order to fulfill it, they needed to eat to their heart’s content.

Even if the wolves didn’t need to eat human flesh to survive the full moon night, it was believed that human flesh was more effective at satisfying the wolves’ desires, and that was why the palace held a feast of eating human flesh on the night of the full moon.

Bai Chen did feel disgusted when he heard Ma Qiao explain everything to him, but for some reason, he felt even hungrier the more he heard the word ‘meat.’

At this moment, he realized that his brain and stomach couldn’t work well together. His brain didn’t even want to imagine him eating human flesh, but his stomach craved it.

It felt like his brain and stomach were involved in a tug of war right now, and he didn’t know which would come out victorious.

He couldn’t even control his drool as it started dripping from his wolf’s mouth, but then he froze when he arrived at tonight’s ‘party’ venue.

It turned out that the feast was being held on the palace grounds right in front of Zuigao Hall, and it was a familiar place to Bai Chen’s eyes since he had visited the Imperial Palace several times.

However, that place looked completely different from usual as it was covered with crimson blood and fresh flesh now. Bai Chen almost vomited when he saw several arms, legs, and even several heads rolling on the ground.

Bai Chen wasn’t a fan of gore, but he ended up witnessing a terrifying scene right before his eyes.

The brown wolf was still frozen when he saw how many wolves had eaten the human flesh, and when he glanced sideways to look for Ma Qiao, he couldn’t find his servant.

He noticed that the old servant had been trying to restrain his urges ever since they were still in his palace, so it was understandable that the black wolf would no longer be able to restrain his urges when he was greeted by such a sight.

Bai Chen was the one who was invited to the feast in the Imperial Palace, but it seemed that Ma Qiao would take advantage of the invitation as he finally got the chance to taste human flesh tonight.

As the person who was invited to the feast, Bai Chen’s nostrils began to feel the temptation of fresh flesh and blood, but he held his breath because he didn’t want to be tempted by the alluring scent.

Even when he was still in his previous life, he wasn’t too crazy when he saw meat, so he tried his best to restrain his urge. ‘No! I’m also human, so I can’t eat other humans!’ He kept chanting in his heart as he tried to tell himself that he couldn’t eat human flesh no matter what.

He then reminded himself of the reason why he had agreed to accept the mission in the first place. The system said that he would be able to see the members of the Black Werewolf Clan in the Rongyao Imperial Palace, so he surveyed his surroundings.

He could see wolves in different colors, but mostly brown and black. Even if he saw some black wolves, he couldn’t simply conclude that they were from the Black Werewolf Clan because he was sure that the clan members would have special characteristics like those in the White Werewolf Clan.

What’s more, he couldn’t just approach the wolves since they were all busy with the party right now. They looked like the wolves he used to see on the National Geographic channel, and he knew they were dangerous because they were driven by their hunger.

Even if Bai Chen was almost controlled by his hunger, he tried to suppress it because he didn’t want to eat humans.

He didn’t even know how the wolves managed to get hold of the humans, but that wasn’t what he should be thinking right now because he saw two white wolves suddenly walking toward him.

Two white wolves with blue eyes, and Bai Chen was sure he knew who they were.

“It’s good to see you attending this feast, Bai Chen. Why don’t you join the other wolves to enjoy the meal? I’ve prepared a lot of dishes knowing you’re coming, so you don’t have to hold back,” the bigger wolf spoke to him, and from the voice out of his wolf mouth, Bai Chen could guess that it was the Emperor who had just spoken to him.

Standing next to the Emperor was another white wolf, and Bai Chen could guess that it was the Crown Prince, Bai Renshu.

Just like when Bai Chen met the father and son pair for the first time at Zuigao Hall, the two white wolves looked extraordinary amidst the dark-colored wolves, and Bai Chen looked a little envious when he saw how amazing the white fur was.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

However, the brown wolf knew that it was not the time to be envious, and he carefully observed the white wolf who had just spoken to him.

He frowned slightly when he heard how relaxed the Emperor was when he spoke to him, but then he guessed that the Emperor must have fulfilled his desire to be able to think clearly once again.

Even if the Emperor and the Crown Prince were still in wolf form, Bai Chen knew that both of them were sane by now. He was sure the two of them had eaten quite a bit of human flesh, and he could also see the blood in their mouths and could smell the blood coming from them.

“I appreciate your kindness, Your Majesty. But I don’t want to eat human flesh,” Bai Chen replied, but his voice was still very low as he was still trying to suppress his desire.

The two white wolves seemed to have realized that he was trying hard to control his desires, and the Crown Prince suddenly sneered at him. “Of course, Prince Bai Chen wouldn’t want to eat human food,” he said. “His mother is a human, and he also likes to play with humans. You shouldn’t have invited him to this party, Your Majesty. I believe this party is only hurting Prince Bai Chen’s feelings.”

Bai Renshu sounded like a good person when he responded to Bai Chen’s words, but Bai Chen knew that the Crown Prince was making fun of him.

“I have the good intentions of inviting Bai Chen,” the Emperor replied. “I thought I would be able to introduce him to the head of the Black Werewolf Clan, but I think the clan members are still busy eating right now. I don’t think I can call them to talk to you now, Bai Chen.”

The Emperor glanced at the group of hungry black wolves eating some of the corpses on the ground, and when Bai Chen followed the Emperor’s gaze, he felt like throwing up once again.

Perhaps his future wife was also in the group, and he couldn’t imagine what it would be like if he married a girl who used to eat humans. Just imagining it made his body shiver, but then he could hear the Emperor speaking again.

“Shao Meihui is also here, but maybe you won’t be able to meet her either.”

Maybe Bai Guowei noticed his gaze towards the black wolf pack, and maybe the girl named Shao Meihui was in the group as he thought. That was why the Emperor thought that he was thinking about the girl who would become his future wife.

“But you don’t have to worry about that, Bai Chen,” the Emperor spoke again. “Shao Meihui will participate in the Beast Hunting Event and will be guarded by some strongest guards during the event, so you can meet her next week.”

Bai Chen was surprised. People kept saying that the Beast Hunting Festival was dangerous, but a girl could even participate in the event?

“You’re wondering why your future wife would be at the event, ah?” This time, it was Bai Renshu who questioned him. “You don’t have to worry about that since your future wife is a rank two werewolf with fighting ability. I’m sure she’s even stronger than you, Bai Chen.”
