Chapter 313 - 313 I WILL HELP YOU

313 I WILL HELP YOU

“Wu Chen?” Bai Chen parroted. “That doesn’t sound good for a girl’s name, Wu Jinhai. Moreover, our daughter was born during the night, so why did you name it using the character ‘Chen'[1]?”

Sometimes, Wu Jinhai was like a child, and that was why Bai Chen finally laughed again after hearing the name the man had chosen.

But Wu Jinhai didn’t look offended even if the shorter man laughed at him, and instead of reprimanding the man, he once again brought his face closer to Bai Chen’s before kissing Bai Chen’s neck from behind the golden mask.

The mask was indeed cold, and that was why Bai Chen’s body shivered as its surface teased his slender neck.

“I didn’t expect you would easily accept the existence of our daughter, Bai Chen. I thought you didn’t want to be her mother,” Wu Jinhai said as he continued to kiss Bai Chen’s neck from behind his mask.

This time, Bai Chen finally wiped away the happy expression on his face as he looked irritated instead, and he immediately used his hand to tug at the back of Wu Jinhai’s hair to stop the man from teasing his neck.

“I’m a man, so I’m the father! If you want your daughter to have a mother, then you can be the mother!” Bai Chen insisted, and Wu Jinhai smiled again from behind his mask.

“Alright, our child doesn’t need a mother,” Wu Jinhai finally relented as he grabbed Bai Chen’s hand which was still holding the black bead. “You should carry it with you wherever you go, and to make it comfortable for you, I’ll make it a necklace once we return to the Xinyang Imperial Palace.”

Wu Jinhai easily relented, and Bai Chen was quite happy about it, but then he realized something about Wu Jinhai’s sentence that piqued his curiosity. “We’re going back to Xinyang Imperial Palace? But, what are the results of your investigation on the border between Wu Li and Dong Lang?”

.....

Another thing that caused Bai Chen to start doubting Wu Jinhai once again before finally leaving the Xinyang Imperial Palace today was that the man did not bring him along when he was about to inspect the border between the two empires. He somehow felt insecure that the man wouldn’t come back to him and chose to be on a different side, and that was why he decided to leave the palace, trying to protect his heart from a second betrayal that might happen to him.

But now Wu Jinhai was in front of him. The man had returned from the border, and he even kissed and made love to him. Yes, the man kept showering him with love, which was enough to erase the doubts in his heart.

“I have checked the border with Yu Ming, and the barrier was indeed set up by the demons,” Wu Jinhai replied.

It was finally confirmed that the barrier had indeed been set up by the demons, and Bai Chen knew another meaning behind Wu Jinhai’s answer. He now knew that the Black Werewolf Clan was indeed in collusion with the demons.

“That barrier was created by the demons, and that’s why your father’s underlings couldn’t easily break it. However, you are strong and you’re half-demon, so can you break through that barrier, Wu Jinhai?” Bai Chen asked the man one more time.

“I can break the barrier, but why are you suddenly asking me that question?” Wu Jinhai answered but he ended it with a question.

Hearing the black-haired man’s question, Bai Chen was silent for a moment, but then he stared intently at the pair of golden eyes as he replied, “I want to return to Dong Lang.” As he subconsciously clenched the black bead in his hand.

Hearing what the Werewolf Prince had just said, Wu Jinhai showed an expression of displeasure beneath his mask. “You can’t go back to Dong Lang now, Bai Chen. The Black Werewolf Clan is working with the demons now, and even my father probably wouldn’t dare to carelessly go to Dong Lang at this time. We don’t know what they are planning, and that’s why we can’t carelessly enter Dong Lang territory now.”

Wu Jinhai spoke as facts, and Bai Chen knew that the man was right. If the situation was not dangerous, then Wu Jinhai would probably break through the barrier before entering Dong Lang today. But the man chose to return to Wu Li instead of going to Dong Lang right away, and that was enough to prove that the man was cautious.

“I know I’m not strong enough to fight those people, but I’m still the Prince of Dong Lang. My brother died, and my father won’t be able to face things alone. I want to be of use to my family, Wu Jinhai. I want to protect my empire and my people. I want that.”

If Bai Chen hadn’t regained his memories from his past life in this ancient world, he wouldn’t care so much about the empire and the people. After all, he thought that he was just an outsider in this world, and all he wanted to do was complete the missions given by the system.

But now he remembered everything, and he had also discovered some unspoken truths that he didn’t know in his previous life. That was why Bai Chen felt responsible for the people in Dong Lang because he was a Prince there.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Perhaps Wu Jinhai could see his lover was shaken by now, and that was why he sighed before grabbing the man’s white robe and placing it over his body.

It was quite an embarrassing sight when they were talking seriously while they were still naked. Bai Chen probably didn’t think about it either, and that was why he was shocked when his body was once again wrapped by his white robe.

“I will help you,” Wu Jinhai said, and Bai Chen looked at the man again. “I did say that we couldn’t go to Dong Lang now, but I didn’t say that I wouldn’t help you, right? We are indeed going back to Wu Li, but that’s just to prepare the best plan we can use on our enemies. You trust me this time, right, Bai Chen?”
