Chapter 307 - 307 WU JINHAI IS SLY
Bai Chen didn’t know how strong the demons were. So far, he had only encountered two demons. The first was the Flute Demon, and the second was the Yearning Demon whom he just encountered tonight.
From the two demons, he assumed their ability was only to use illusions on humans and werewolves, but that didn’t mean that other demons would be like that too.
Just like in the fantasy novels he occasionally read in the modern world, there must be many kinds of demons, and some of them might be strong enough to destroy a human and a werewolf together.
Bai Chen was frightened, and that was why he pulled his body away from Wu Jinhai before looking at the man while waiting for the man’s reply.
“Now you look scared, but earlier you dared to enter this forest without thinking about the risks you might get, Bai Chen. You are truly foolish!” Wu Jinhai scolded him instead of answering his questions.
The man was still holding Bai Chen’s waist, and even if he had scolded Bai Chen just now, it didn’t seem like he was really bothered by the shorter man. If Wu Jinhai was annoyed for real, he surely wouldn’t want to continue holding onto Bai Chen like it, would he?
And maybe it was Bai Chen who was irritated that the man just mocked him instead of answering his question, and he frowned angrily as he repeated his question, “Are we really not going to be able to leave this forest, Wu Jinhai? I don’t want to be eaten by those evil demons!”
Bai Chen had indeed only met two demons so far, but in his eyes, they were ugly and perverted in what they did. When he glanced at the Yearning Demon who had died on the ground, he could understand why Wu Jinhai was angry earlier. It was because that demon was really ugly, but he still thought that demon was Wu Jinhai.
.....
“You were almost eaten by a demon if I arrived late, Bai Chen!” Wu Jinhai once again scolded the shorter man as he used his index finger to tap Bai Chen’s forehead a few times. “Once you touch the Yearning Demon, your body will be absorbed by the demon, and your soul will vanish forever. Do you wish to experience that, Bai Chen?”
Bai Chen suddenly got goosebumps after hearing the explanation from the taller man. When Yu Ming saved him from the influence of the Flute Demon, the man had only said that the Flute Demon would only absorb his energy when he was under her spell, but the Yearning Demon seemed to be a more dangerous demon than the Flute Demon.
He would instantly die if the Yearning Demon absorbed his body and soul, right? Even if he only imagined that kind of catastrophe, Bai Chen was already terrified. Unknowingly, he brought his body closer to Wu Jinhai as if seeking protection from the masked man.
“You always boast that you are strong, right, Wu Jinhai? That’s why you must know how to get out of this forest, right?” At this moment, Bai Chen could only rely on Wu Jinhai, and that was why he dropped his pride as he pressed his body against that man.
Behind the golden mask, Wu Jinhai grinned triumphantly, and before he said anything to answer Bai Chen’s questions, he wrapped his arm around Bai Chen’s waist, automatically trapping Bai Chen’s body so that the younger man couldn’t escape.
“It’s good that you still remember how strong I am, Bai Chen. By now, you know that you can’t run away from me, right?”
“…” Bai Chen really hated it when Wu Jinhai was in his Zhu Ge mode. Of course, the two men were indeed one person, but Bai Chen still remembered that usually Zhu Ge acted so arrogantly in front of him.
But, what could he say about that? Even Wu Jinhai had admitted to him that Zhu Ge was his true personality, so he couldn’t just walk away from the man even if he was in bitch mode, could he?
“I will not run from you, so please lead me out of this dangerous forest, Wu Jinhai!” Bai Chen furiously begged the taller man.
It was strange when Bai Chen begged but looked angry at the same time. He said the word “please,” but his tone did not show that he had lowered his pride in front of the Eldest Prince of Wu Li.
“I am strong, and I have confidence in getting you out of this forest, ChenChen,” Wu Jinhai once again replied to Bai Chen, and from the way he used the nickname once again, it seemed like Wu Jinhai was in his playful mode now. “I can indeed take you out of this forest, but I can’t do it now,” he continued.
Bai Chen was almost pleased when Wu Jinhai confidently said that the two of them could leave the forest safely, but now he looked confused when the man suddenly said that he couldn’t do that now.
“Why can’t you do it now?” Bai Chen curiously asked the man in red. “You are strong, and there is even Wu Jiang with you. Don’t say that the demons here are more dangerous at night so you don’t even dare to fight them at night, Wu Jinhai.”
Wu Jinhai was cunning, but Bai Chen thought that there must be a reason behind the man’s statement just now.
“Some demons are indeed more dangerous at night, but I wouldn’t be afraid of them, Bai Chen. I’m just too exhausted after looking for you from the Xinyang Imperial Palace to this forest, and that’s why I probably won’t be able to fight those demons if we accidentally bump into them. I need to replenish my energy before we can leave this forest.”
This time, Bai Chen somehow thought that Wu Jinhai was just being sneaky when he could feel the familiar air radiating from the man’s body. Even so, he still asked the man, “How will you replenish your energy before you can fight demons again, Wu Jinhai?”
