Chapter 123

123 THE GIRL WHO DANCED WITH HER SWORD

His fiancée had an affair with his half-brother.

His fiancée had an affair with his half-brother.

His fiancée had an affair with his half-brother.

Those words kept ringing in Bai Chen’s head as he finally realized the real situation. Two people had occupied the cave before he and Wu Jinhai arrived in the cave, and not only occupied it, but they also did something naughty in the cave.

Wu Jinhai was the one who walked in front of him when the two of them entered the cave, and that was why he didn’t see it with his eyes when the two people were doing a hot activity.

However, he still heard the sensual voices of the two people as they were skin to skin in the cave, and he was not stupid to understand what kind of activity they were doing.

Wu Jinhai was the one who witnessed the scene with his eyes, but for some reason, the man did not directly tell him about the two people even if he continued to act as if he knew the two of them.

Bai Chen was confused by the man’s attitude, but now he could understand the reason behind it. Perhaps Wu Jinhai didn’t even know that he would marry Shao Meihui after the Beast Hunting Event was over, but the man definitely recognized Crown Prince Bai Renshu.

It was certain that Wu Jinhai knew that Bai Renshu was his brother, and that was why the man did not directly tell him the identity of the two people involved in the wild activity in the cave.

.....

“I know Bai Renshu had a relationship with Shao Meihui in the past, but I still can’t believe that the two of them even did such a thing in the Forbidden Forest,” Bai Chen muttered in disbelief. “But maybe the two of them are deliberately participating in the Beast Hunting Event so that they get a chance to meet each other without anyone knowing? Maybe their real purpose in coming to this forest was to do such a thing, and I can’t believe that they’re so shameless.”

Even before he entered the forest, Bai Chen knew that the forest was dangerous, but some people even dared to engage in intimate activities in the forest.

“Wait. I don’t think I’m any different from them since I also did dirty things with Wu Jinhai earlier,” Bai Chen immediately corrected himself as he recalled the memories of him and the masked Prince earlier.

He and Wu Jinhai kissed in the forest, and he even helped the man to reach his climax. Indeed, Bai Chen and Wu Jinhai were no different from Bai Renshu and Shao Meihui, and the two of them even did that kind of thing out in the open unlike Bai Renshu and Shao Meihui who chose the cave as their motel.

Bai Chen sighed, but then he couldn’t think about those unimportant things anymore when he saw how the battle between the giant beast and werewolves was getting tenser and tenser.

He knew that Bai Renshu and Shao Meihui were both in human form because the rules of the event didn’t allow them to transform into their wolf forms, but it still wouldn’t be right if he saw the two as human.

It seemed that the two of them had good skills with their swords, and they continued to swing their swords as they tried to defeat the giant beast.

Bai Chen could see that the two people had good coordination, and they both seemed to have a tacit understanding as well. Without needing to say a word, the two of them shared the strategy for fighting the beast. Bai Renshu focused on fighting with the snake’s head, while Shao Meihui continued to attack the tail.

It looked strange, but even the tail of the beast seemed to have eyes as it could evade Shao Meihui’s sword from time to time.

However, the girl didn’t seem to lose her confidence even if her attacks still yielded no results, and she even used her slender legs to kick the moving tail. The kick hit the tail, and it seemed as if the tail lost focus for a moment, and Shao Meihui used the opportunity to slash at it with her sword.

This time, the tail didn’t have time to dodge the sharp sword, and Shao Meihui managed to cut the beast’s tail off. The beast let out a scream that resounded throughout the forest, and Bai Chen fell silent.

Shao Meihui didn’t look strong at all. The girl’s body was thin and looked frail, and Bai Chen did not expect that she would be able to injure the giant snake. The girl wasn’t even with her guards right now, but she seemed to be handling the situation well.

Bai Chen thought that Bai Renshu and Shao Meihui had finally seen the light after the latter managed to cut off the snake’s tail, but to his dismay, the situation suddenly became worse after the tail fell to the ground.

The snake continued to let out a scream, and the cry even generated a strong wind from its mouth that caused the leaves of the trees around them to move frantically.

Bai Renshu and Shao Meihui couldn’t even get close to the snake because of the strong wind, and they could only move away from the beast while covering their faces with their hands.

The strong wind even hit Bai Chen’s face, and he had a bad feeling about it. It seemed that the snake was angrier after Shao Meihui cut its tail, and it seemed that the situation was more dangerous now.

Bai Chen knew that he shouldn’t come close to danger because he valued his life so highly, but seeing how a girl like Shao Meihui could even fight against the beast so fiercely, he couldn’t help but want to join the battle as well.

Tightening his grip around Wu Jiang, he wanted to get out of his hiding place if someone didn’t suddenly grab the back of his neck to keep him in place. Bai Chen’s neck was extremely sensitive, and when he felt a warm hand on his neck, he had goosebumps all over his body.

The feeling was indeed strange, but he knew that it was not the time to indulge in such feelings, and he immediately twisted his neck to look at the person who dared to hold his neck from behind. And he could see the familiar red-robed man with the golden mask.

“What are you doing here, Wu Jinhai?” Bai Chen asked the masked man in a whisper, and his hands also tried to pull the man’s hand from his neck.

Wu Jinhai obeyed, and he pulled his hand from Bai Chen’s neck as he replied, “Didn’t I tell you to call my name if you encounter danger? Why did you choose to approach danger instead of calling my name? Is it too difficult for your mouth to call out my name?”

Not just a single sentence escaped Wu Jinhai’s lips as the two of them finally reunited, but every sentence the masked man had just spoken sounded like a sharp needle stabbed into Bai Chen’s heart.

Wu Jinhai scolded him, and Bai Chen looked hurt when the man only came to him to rebuke him coldly.

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

“I just heard a strange sound earlier, and out of curiosity, I decided to approach the source of the sound. I didn’t expect it to be dangerous, that’s why I didn’t call your name,” Bai Chen reasoned, but it was just nonsense he spoke because he didn’t mean to want to call out Wu Jinhai’s birth name knowing that the man would only mock him if he did that.

Hearing the reason, Wu Jinhai only fixed his brown eyes on the shorter Prince, and it seemed that he did not believe the man’s reasoning.

Perhaps Bai Chen could read the meaning of those gazes, and that was why he continued, “And I didn’t face the danger head-on. Can’t you see that I’m hiding right now?”

It was another excuse from Bai Chen, and the red-robed man finally replied with a snort, “Did you think I didn’t know that you would try to be a hero if I didn’t grab your neck in time earlier? You want to fight that giant beast, huh?”

Mentioning a hero, Wu Jinhai sounded so sarcastic to Bai Chen’s ears.

“I just want to prove that I’m not a weakling,” the Werewolf Prince defended himself.

This time, Wu Jinhai heaved a heavy sigh. “I can understand, but this is not the time for you to learn how to fight a beast. What’s in front of us is a high-level beast, one of the most dangerous beasts in the Forbidden Forest. This snake shouldn’t be in this area, but it suddenly appeared here. I’m afraid someone purposely sent this beast to your brother and his lover.”

Bai Chen was dumbfounded when he heard Wu Jinhai’s explanation. “W-what do you mean? Someone purposely sent the beast to them?”
