366 TWO SUSPICIOUS REWARDS
“Bai Lang?” Subconsciously, Bai Chen whispered, but then he covered his mouth with his hand when he realized that he shouldn’t carelessly say the little wolf’s name.
After all, he was the only one who knew of the wolf’s existence, and that was why he had to keep it a secret that the little wolf existed in this world. However, although he looked slightly panicked after accidentally whispering Bai Lang’s name, he did not see any reactions from the three people standing not far from him.
“Don’t worry. I froze all of them, and that’s why they won’t be able to hear your voice,” Bai Lang spoke as it carefully floated towards Bai Chen and carelessly sat on the horse’s head that was covered by white hair.
But the head didn’t even try to avoid the white wolf, and Bai Chen knew that the horse was also frozen at this moment.
“You froze them? Are they dead? Why did you do something like that to them?” Innocently, Bai Chen asked a series of questions in one breath, but Bai Lang snorted loudly after hearing the questions.
“You have experienced three lives and two deaths, but you are still the same, Bai Chen. Your brain has not grown at all.”
“…” Bai Chen couldn’t even rebuke.
Of course, he knew the meaning behind Bai Lang’s words. The little wolf must have ridiculed him, implying that he was still the same stupid Bai Chen even if he had a lot of experience in two worlds during his three lifetimes.
But maybe that was the reality, and that was why Bai Chen didn’t rebuke and just silently accepted the insult.
.....
Annoyedly, Bai Chen glared at the white wolf, but he still opened his mouth to ask, “So, they didn’t die, but you temporarily froze them, right? Why did you do something like that? Even your sudden appearance is unusual, Bai Lang. What do you want to talk to me about?”
It seemed that Bai Chen was quite smart after he appeared stupid before, and Bai Lang even smirked after hearing his question. “Earlier today, you completed a mission related to your mother, right? You’ve found out the true cause behind your mother’s death, so don’t you think you deserve a reward, Bai Chen?”
Bai Chen did not reply immediately this time. It was only a few hours ago when Bai Chen received a notification from the system, congratulating him on completing the mission. However, he had yet to receive any rewards for completing the mission related to his mother’s death.
“I’m not sure if I remember correctly, but I think the system told me a long time ago that it would reward me with 100 points if I successfully complete that mission. It told me a few months ago, and I wasn’t sure whether my memory was good or not. That’s why I’m now confused about the reward I will get after completing the mission. Will I receive those points as a reward?” Bai Chen replied.
To be honest, he hadn’t thought much about the so-called reward when he had just received the notification from the system that he had accomplished his mission. Only now did he recall the memory of when the system had told him what reward he would get if he successfully completed the mission, and that was why he immediately questioned the little wolf.
“You have a good memory this time, Bai Chen,” Bai Lang replied. “But, do you think your hard work to find the real murderer in the past few months is only worth 100 points? You don’t want to earn more?”
“…” Even if what Bai Lang just said sounded tempting, Bai Chen didn’t answer immediately.
Is it a trap? Bai Lang was a cunning wolf with a million mysteries in it, and Bai Chen also knew how stingy the wolf was when it came to giving rewards after he returned to this world.
So, why was the sly wolf suddenly pushing him to ask for more rewards?
Bai Chen couldn’t help feeling suspicious, and he even narrowed his blue eyes at the pair of eyes that were the same color as his. He didn’t even say a word, but it seemed Bai Lang could understand the meaning behind his gaze, and that was why the little wolf suddenly groaned in annoyance.
“I don’t have any tricks right now, okay! I sincerely offer you something bigger than just 100 points, but it’s fine if you don’t want to take it!” It seemed that Bai Lang had sulked seeing how Bai Chen was feeling suspicious of it, and it even folded its little hands in front of its chest to show that it was indeed annoyed.
Bai Chen looked at the wolf in disbelief and even shook his head before saying, “Fine, stop sulking and tell me what reward you’re going to offer me.”
In the end, Bai Chen chose to give in, and it seemed that Bai Lang was quite satisfied with that. “That’s good, that’s good,” the wolf replied happily as it opened its chubby arms and looked at Bai Chen again. “I’ll give you two rewards for completing that mission, but for now, I’ll let you get the first reward first. As for the second reward, I’ll give it to you later.”
Instead of feeling certain that Bai Lang had no tricks up its sleeve, Bai Chen felt even more suspicious. That sneaky wolf even offered him two rewards instead of just one?
That one thing was already very strange coming from Bai Lang, and that was why Bai Chen didn’t respond immediately.
Perhaps Bai Lang knew that Bai Chen once again gave it a look filled with skepticism, and that was why it spoke again, “I’ll get straight to the point, Bai Chen. The first reward I’m going to give you will be related to that bad guy.” The wolf stopped as it pointed its fat finger at someone standing not far from Bai Chen, and Bai Chen looked startled as he followed the finger’s direction. But Bai Lang didn’t seem to care about his surprised expression as it continued, “For the first reward, I’ll help you kill that person. Do you want to take this opportunity?”
