297 THE REAL VILLAIN
It felt like a powerful force was continuously pushing from within his head, and Bai Chen could only use both of his hands to hold his head as he felt the unbearable pain. He kept groaning in pain, and when he couldn’t hold it in any longer, he would scream as if forgetting that he wasn’t in his palace where he was free to do whatever he wanted.
He was currently still in Wu Jinhai’s palace, and people outside the pavilion he was staying in could probably hear his screams and think something was wrong with him. But now he couldn’t use his brain to think of that possibility as he could only feel how it felt like his brain was exploding from the inside.
“Argh! What happened to my head? Why does it hurt so much?” Bai Chen was still on Wu Jinhai’s bed, and he was even lying on his stomach and buried his face in one of the pillows when he could no longer endure the pain.
But then his head hurt even more as he inhaled the scent from the pillow. More and more memories flashed through his head as the familiar scent penetrated his nostrils. He could see himself in the memory, but he was somehow certain that it wasn’t him who had appeared in the memory. The person in the memories was the original Bai Chen in this world, and for some unknown reason, it seemed as if his head was downloading all of that man’s memories at this time.
Bai Chen thought that his head was downloading memories, but for some reason, he could also feel a strange feeling in his heart as memories kept flooding his head. He had never felt that feeling before, and it was mixed with pain, hatred, and longing. It was so foreign to him, and without him noticing, he felt more and more pain as he continued to inhale Wu Jinhai’s scent on the pillow.
And that was why Bai Chen suddenly got up from the bed to avoid the scent that gave him more pain, and at that moment, he suddenly saw an extremely bright light flashing in his head that made his head hurt even more, and he even closed his eyes as he stood by the bed. Surprisingly, the pain in his head immediately disappeared after the mysterious light flashed across his head, and Bai Chen finally opened his blue eyes once again.
But then he felt different all over, and he muttered to himself, “Why... why did I come back to life? Didn’t I kill myself with a sword in Forbidden Forest?”
The man in white was flustered, and he even ignored how his forehead was covered in a layer of sweat at the moment. And suddenly, the pain in his head returned, and he once again closed his eyes as he used both hands to hold his head again.
He once again groaned in pain, but once again the pain disappeared without leaving a trace, and the Werewolf Prince opened his blue eyes again.
.....
“I am Bai Chen…” The Prince whispered to himself as he carefully withdrew his hands from his head. “I am Bai Chen...” He repeated his whisper once again. “Whether it is in the modern world or this ancient world, I am Bai Chen. I... and the owner of this body are one. We are the same person, and I’m not borrowing his body all this time. I died in this world, and then I reincarnated in the modern world, but then my soul has been pulled into this world once more as everything in this world spins back to the day when I met Zhu Ge for the first time.”
Bai Chen was finally able to understand the situation after all the memories he had forgotten suddenly returned to his head. They weren’t someone else’s memories, but they were his memories, and that was why he felt pain in his heart when he finally remembered everything.
Wu Jinhai did not betray anyone else, but that man had betrayed him, and that was the reason why even the smell of that man made him feel more pain in his chest.
Bai Chen could understand everything now, and when he brought his blue eyes to scan his surroundings, he suddenly laughed at himself. “Why am I even in this place now?” He questioned himself. “The owner of this pavilion is a liar, and he might be planning something else for me like he did before I killed myself in my previous life. Why am I still staying in this place?”
It was obvious that Bai Chen was mocking himself at this moment. Before he killed himself in the Forbidden Forest, he loved Wu Jinhai so much that he could even do anything for the man, and that was why he was devastated when Wu Jinhai suddenly said that he was only fooling him and had no real feelings for him.
That was a bitter betrayal, and Bai Chen felt that he no longer had any hope as his love turned his back on him before starting to move away from him without even giving him a glance. He was devastated, and that was why he used the sword to cut his own throat back then.
Now he was alive once again, and his memories also returned to him, and he suddenly clenched his fists at his sides. “Now I can understand the reason why everything in this world plays back to the day before that bastard betrayed me,” gritted his teeth as he said those words, Bai Chen emitted a different aura as his blue eyes filled with hatred. “No, my mission in this world is not to become an Emperor but to carry out an act of revenge on Wu Jinhai. He’s the real villain here, and I can’t let him hurt me one more time. I have to make him pay for what he did to me. Wu Jinhai must die.”
There was no more love in Bai Chen’s eyes, and the only feeling in those pair of blue eyes was hatred. And without hesitation, the Werewolf Prince finally walked away from the pavilion without looking back.
Bai Chen had left the pavilion where he had slept with Wu Jinhai last night, and he did not realize that someone had been watching his every move from outside the pavilion ever since he came out of the pavilion.
