Chapter 404 - 404 MY NEXT BUSINESS

404 MY NEXT BUSINESS

Had Bai Chen suddenly become the Crown Prince of Dong Lang? The answer is yes.

It was like Bai Lang’s final decision, and it seemed he wouldn’t give any room for anyone to disagree with what he had decided. Even Bai Guowei couldn’t even rebuke anymore after hearing the surprising decision from the Immortal Elder.

Yes, the Emperor couldn’t say no because Bai Lang immediately turned his body to leave the old man, and the old man was quickly helped by Wu Shun’s soldiers to get up from his kneeling position and escorted to leave the Forbidden Forest.

Not only Bai Guowei left the forest, but other low-level werewolves also left the forest with the troops sent by Wu Shun. It was actually Wu Jingguo’s order. He said that the Forbidden Forest was not a safe place for the werewolves, and that was why the Crown Prince of Wu Li immediately ordered the troops to send the werewolves home.

Now, there were only four figures in the forest, and they were Bai Lang, Wu Jinhai, Yu Ming, and Wu Jingguo. Bai Chen could see how Bai Lang returned to the three men after he finished talking to his father, but he still couldn’t believe what he had just witnessed.

Had he suddenly become the Crown Prince of Dong Lang? Again, the answer is yes.

But it was still shocking for him. His main mission when he returned to this world was indeed to become the Emperor of Dong Lang, but it was Bai Lang who gave him the mission, and that’s why he didn’t expect that Bai Lang would also be the one to help him to become the new Crown Prince in the empire.

But, why did Bai Lang help him? That was his mission, so he was supposed to be the one who worked hard to achieve his goal, right?

Currently, Bai Chen had many unanswered questions in his head, but he chose to listen to the conversation happening in front of him.

.....

“I heard how you suddenly appointed Bai Chen as the new Crown Prince of Dong Lang,” It was Wu Jinhai who spoke to Bai Lang after the white-haired man finished talking to Bai Guowei. “Do you think that’s a good idea? No one in the empire respects him because he’s just the Emperor’s unwanted child, and he also doesn’t have a Power Crystal anymore. What if people hate him even more because of your decision?”

Bai Chen could see how curious Wu Jinhai looked, and at the same time, the Eldest Prince of Wu Li also looked worried.

“But I also want to know the answer,” Bai Chen mumbled to himself as he stayed alone in the white space. “I want to know Bai Lang’s plan. He wouldn’t want to see me get more slander from my people, would he?”

Bai Chen was curious, and thankfully, Bai Lang immediately responded to Wu Jinhai, “Bai Chen is indeed just the unwanted child of Bai Guowei, but can’t you see Bai Guowei’s condition just now? You’re right that Bai Chen does not have a Power Crystal, but Bai Guowei is the same, right? Bai Chen is weak and helpless, and Bai Guowei is the same. Do you think people will have the opportunity to comment on my decision? Besides, it was the Immortal Elder who made that decision. Do you think people will dare to go against my decision?”

Bai Lang looked calm and sure, and Wu Jinhai finally stopped questioning the white-haired man, probably thinking that what Bai Lang just said made sense and his answer was enough to satisfy his curiosity.

But perhaps there was still one thing that made Wu Jinhai feel dissatisfied, and that was why he decided to ask again, “Your business is done now, right? Can you leave Bai Chen’s body now?”

Once again, the Eldest Prince of Wu Li sounded impatient, and the Immortal Elder even laughed at the young man. “I gave Bai Chen the mission to make you fall in love with him, but now I regret it a little before you fall too deeply in love that you look really annoying,” he replied.

The answer sounded harsh, but the three men failed to understand the meaning behind it. Thus, they only furrowed their brows in confusion upon hearing his reply, and Bai Lang finally realized that he had just said something unnecessary as he finally sighed in exasperation.

“It’s enough,” the Immortal Elder spoke again. “Just like what I said earlier, you don’t need to worry because I will definitely return Bai Chen to you. I have no intention of using this body forever, but I still have some business to do with this body, and that’s why I can’t just leave this body even if you force me to.”

Wu Jinhai indeed had the intention to force the Immortal Elder to leave Bai Chen’s body. He must have known that the Elder was strong, much stronger than him to be exact. However, he would not hesitate to fight the man if the man refused to return Bai Chen to him.

But maybe fighting wouldn’t be necessary, right? After all, the Immortal Elder said that he didn’t intend to use Bai Chen’s body forever, and that was enough to give Wu Jinhai a guarantee.

“What business do you intend to have with Bai Chen’s body?” Wu Jinhai once again asked.

The question was clear and to the point, but Bai Lang didn’t answer right away. Instead, he closed the gap between him and the Eldest Prince of Wu Li before stopping when he was only half a foot away from the young man.

Even Wu Jinhai was stunned by the distance, but before he could move his body away from the white-haired man, he could suddenly feel a cold finger pressing against his forehead. To be precise, that finger pressed against the golden scales on his forehead, and sure enough, that long finger belonged to Bai Chen.

It was indeed Bai Chen’s finger that touched his scales, but Bai Chen’s body was still used by the Immortal Elder, and the Elder calmly answered, “My next business is to help you get rid of the poison in your body, young man.”

Wu Jinhai was shocked, but before he could ask the Immortal Elder for an explanation, a bright white light suddenly appeared on the tip of the Elder’s index finger which was still pressed against his golden scales, and Wu Jinhai felt a sudden pain.
