Chapter 242

242 THEY ARE BOTH DEATH

Of course, Bai Chen still remembered the small house in the middle of the forest. He thought only animals would live in the forest, and that was why he could hardly believe it when Zhu Ge told him that he lived in that house.

Yes, it was indeed Zhu Ge who told him about it because the man had not revealed the truth at that time, still pretending to be the male prostitute from the Red Pavilion. Now Bai Chen finally learned the truth that the house actually belonged to Wu Jinhai, Wu Li’s Eldest Prince.

If it was just a prostitute living in the house, then it wouldn’t be too surprising, but it was just revealed that a Prince was living in that place that resembled a hut.

Prince Wu Jinhai had indeed lived in that small house in the middle of the forest instead of living comfortably in the palace, and that one thing was enough to make Bai Chen speechless.

“It’s not like the palace gates are closed for me,” Wu Jinhai continued his explanation. “I was not kicked out of the palace, and it was my choice to stay outside the palace. That’s why I can return to the palace at any time, and that’s what I usually do in recent years. When my father calls me to return, then I will return to the palace, but after the business is finished, I will return to the forest again. Maybe you’re right. Maybe I smell like wet leaves because I have spent most of my time in the forest.”

After all, Wu Jinhai was the Prince of Wu Li, and that man definitely still had his pride. That was probably the reason why the man even gave Bai Chen a further explanation that he wasn’t kicked out of the palace, and instead, it was his choice to leave the palace and start living in the dense forest.

With that added explanation, Wu Jinhai wouldn’t look too pitiful, and Bai Chen could somehow understand the man’s intentions.

“I have lived well in the forest. True, sometimes I feel bored too, but overall, I can say that I have been living well in the forest. However, that doesn’t change the fact that I’m just an unwanted person in the palace even if I’m still a Prince to this day. It wasn’t my father who didn’t want me, but some powerful people in the palace who weren’t happy with my existence. That fact bothered me, and that’s why I started getting motivated to change my destiny. ”

Bai Chen was still quietly listening to Wu Jinhai’s story, and when he heard how the man wanted to change his destiny, he couldn’t help but compare the two of them to each other.

.....

Just now Wu Jinhai said that he was simply an unwanted Prince in the palace, and Bai Chen immediately realized that his situation was no different from that man. Maybe their stories were different, but their destiny was the same. Both of them were hated and looked down upon by many, and both of them also wanted to change their fate.

Bai Chen did not expect that the two of them would be so similar in some aspects, and that was why he could only silently look at the man sitting next to him, nonverbally asking the man to continue his story.

Fortunately, Wu Jinhai could read his silent gaze even if the man in red did not turn to the man in white and chose to keep his eyes on the river.

Wu Jinhai knew that he needed to continue his story, and that was why he opened his mouth to speak again, “That’s why I started looking for ways to cure the poison in my body. When I lived in the forest, I had a master who helped me become a stronger person both physically and mentally, and it was also my master who told me that only two people could help me to get rid of the poison in my body.”

It seemed that Wu Jinhai’s story had finally come to light after the man said that two people could help the man to cure the poison, and that was why Bai Chen’s face looked more excited as he asked, “Two people can help you to get rid of the poison in your body? Have you met them for help?”

It seemed that Bai Chen was quite enthusiastic to see how Wu Jinhai was finally able to cure the poison that had ruined his life since he was a baby. True, Bai Chen was angry with how the man had lied to him all this time, but after hearing how the man had also suffered all this time, his anger gradually subsided, and now he wanted to know more about the man’s story.

This time, Wu Jinhai finally turned his head towards Bai Chen, and he once again opened his lips to reply, “Do you remember when I told you about the Immortal Daoist in Wu Li and the Immortal Elder in Dong Lang? They are the ones who can heal the poison in my body.”

Bai Chen did not immediately reply to Wu Jinhai this time. His memories flew back to when he and Zhu Ge walked past Heping Mountain a month ago. Back then, the two of them walked from the Red Pavilion to his palace, and they had to pass the snow mountain before they could reach his palace in Dong Lang.

The Werewolf Prince, fortunately, still remembered Wu Zhu Ge’s story when they had just arrived at the snow mountain. Back then, Zhu Ge told him that the Immortal Daoist and Immortal Elder were the ones who had sealed all the hatred of humans and werewolves on the mountain, and that was why the two empires were in a peaceful mood today.

“I remember,” Bai Chen finally replied. “If only they can help you, then you can go see them for help, right?”

It sounded simple when Bai Chen asked it, but Wu Jinhai smiled bitterly before he replied, “I can’t do that because they are both dead.”
