245 A PERVERT WITH A MASK
“I thought you weren’t mad at me!”
“Don’t be stupid! I’m mad at you!”
The previously calm atmosphere on the river suddenly changed after Bai Chen slapped Wu Jinhai on the cheek for real. It was Wu Jinhai who asked the Werewolf Prince to slap him on the cheek, and because Bai Chen felt his hand itching, he ended up landing his palm on Wu Jinhai’s cheek.
Perhaps Wu Jinhai didn’t expect it, and that was why he stared at Bai Chen in disbelief as his left hand touched his left cheek which was slapped by the younger man. He suddenly looked bullied in front of the white-robed Prince, and he even jutted his lower lip to make him look even more pitiful.
Bai Chen didn’t want to feel bad when he saw the man’s expression, and he sighed before saying, “You’re the one who asked me to slap your face, so you can’t blame me when I do what you want.”
“...” Wu Jinhai looked speechless.
He also sighed as he pulled his hand away from his cheek, and now his previously white cheek was painted with a red mark caused by Bai Chen’s palm.
“I’ve told you everything, so you shouldn’t be angry with me anymore,” Wu Jinhai said lazily to the younger man. “If you still have something you want to ask, then you can ask me now.”
Bai Chen rolled his eyes. He did tell himself that he wasn’t mad at Wu Jinhai anymore, but he was still annoyed with the man, especially after finding out how that man was so cunning behind his back even when they were in his palace.
.....
How Wu Jinhai could even secretly make a copy of the Wenxue Pavilion key was unexpected, and how that man could even enter the pavilion in secret to find out more about the Immortal Elder was also something he didn’t expect.
“You should have told me from the start that you only wanted to find the Immortal Elder,” Bai Chen spoke again.
True, he didn’t know much about the Immortal Elder either. Wu Jinhai had just mentioned that that person used to be in seclusion before finally dying, and that was why Bai Chen had never seen the elder even when he was in the Rongyao Imperial Palace. He also didn’t know what kind of person the Immortal Elder was, nor did he know about the relationship between the elder and the real Bai Chen in this world.
“Do you think you would believe me right away if I randomly came to you and said that I needed your help to find the Immortal Elder?”
“...” Right now, it was Bai Chen who was speechless after hearing Wu Jinhai’s question.
He couldn’t help but imagine if suddenly a stranger came to him and asked for his help. Back then, he was still new to this world, and he also kept telling himself not to trust anyone, and that was why he definitely wouldn’t want to help Wu Jinhai even if that man came to him honestly.
‘If this man hadn’t pretended to be Zhu Ge and had come to me with a golden mask covering his face, perhaps I would have thought that he was a pervert,’ Bai Chen couldn’t help but have such an assumption as he glanced over the golden mask on Wu Jinhai’s lap.
When he was still in his world, one time he accidentally opened an adult site when he was bored alone in his house, and on the site, he saw an almost naked man who only covered his private area with a black brief, and the man also covered his face with a mask.
It was one of Bai Chen’s biggest mistakes when he was still in his past life, and that was why he hastily closed the website before going to the bathroom to wash his eyes stained by that disgusting sight.
Yes, Bai Chen thought that the naked man was too disgusting to look at when he was in his previous life, and that was why he still couldn’t believe that he was in love with a man now. In addition, the man also wore a golden mask to cover his face, and it really reminded him of the perverted man on the adult site.
In the end, Bai Chen shook his head before he suddenly rose from his position and said, “I will return to my palace now.”
Before Wu Jinhai could even react, Bai Chen had already turned his body, and he was about to start walking without caring about what Wu Jinhai was about to do.
“Wait! Why do you want to leave me? We still haven’t finished talking, Bai Chen!” Wu Jinhai looked surprised after hearing what he said.
They still haven’t finished talking? What did they need to talk about when Wu Jinhai told him he had revealed everything he needed to reveal?
Bai Chen was tired, and that was why he just wanted to rest now. Unknowingly, it was almost dusk, and he hadn’t even had lunch until now. No wonder he felt how his stomach trembled slightly because he was too hungry.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see how the man in red had also risen from his position, but he pretended not to see it as he started to bring his feet to leave the man.
However, his steps were forcefully stopped, but it was not Wu Jinhai who stopped his movements. Instead, it was something that suddenly appeared in front of where he was standing that managed to stop his steps, and he looked surprised while keeping his eyes on the object.
“Wu Jiang?” In disbelief, Bai Chen asked, and the thing floating in front of him was none other than the sword, Wu Jiang.
Wu Jinhai was standing behind Bai Chen, but he could also see the sword, and that was why he caught a glimpse of the sword before turning to Bai Chen, “Perhaps you also have some questions regarding Wu Jiang? Just follow me, and I will answer whatever you want to ask me.”
