152 SOMEONE JOINED HIS PEACEFUL BATH
A hot bath was indeed the best solution when the body and mind were both tired. The palace maids had prepared a hot bath for him, and Bai Chen immediately enjoyed it regardless of how Zhu Ge continued to be so impudent to him.
He was furious, and that was why he immediately headed to the bathroom before undressing. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see steam floating above the tub, and he was eager to dip his feet into it to test the temperature. His body then trembled with a pleasant feeling when he knew that the temperature was just right.
There was no cloth covering his body, and he quickly carried his naked body into the hot water that had been waiting for him. A soft moan escaped his lips as he closed his eyes to enjoy the pleasant sensation.
It felt like his tense muscles loosened as soon as the hot water touched his skin, and he closed his eyes as he tried to enjoy the precious moment.
“Even if this place doesn’t have hot springs, I think this bath is still perfect,” Bai Chen smiled as he closed his eyes for a moment to treasure the nice sensation after he fought so hard to stay alive during the Beast Hunting Event.
It was true that his palace had no hot springs, but he thought that the hot water in the bath was enough to reward him after he managed to survive in the Forbidden Forest.
“I’m still grateful that hot water is always ready for me because I have several maids here. When I was in my previous life, the hot water in my house didn’t always work, and I even needed to take a cold shower during the winter. It was indeed a terrifying experience,” Bai Chen could feel his body shiver slightly as a memory from the past suddenly flashed through his mind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt couldn’t be said that his family in his previous life was poor, but it was also not very accurate to say that they were rich. His family in his previous life was just average, and it was normal for them to experience how the hot water stopped working in their home.
Now that Bai Chen could always take a hot bath whenever he needed it, he felt extremely grateful for the privilege he had been granted in this world, and that was why he was also able to rest his mind at this time.
.....
“Perhaps this is what people usually call every cloud has a silver lining,” Bai Chen spoke to himself as he groaned once again in satisfaction as he enjoyed the hot water in the tub.
In the past two weeks, he had not been able to rest his mind at all. He kept thinking about the night of the full moon before it came, and after he made it through the night, his mind was occupied with the Beast Hunting Event.
Both his mind and body were exhausted from those two events, and it felt even worse when the Beast Hunting Event didn’t end well. Bai Chen even frowned uncomfortably when he recalled the memories of the Forbidden Forest.
The dangerous beasts that were supposed to live in the forest core kept attacking the humans and werewolves, and he couldn’t even do anything to protect them all. Not to mention protecting others, he couldn’t even protect himself.
If Wu Jinhai wasn’t with him during the event, then Bai Chen wasn’t sure if he would be able to get out of the forest alive. Even some of the participants ended up losing their lives in the forest, and one of them was Shao Meihui.
Bai Chen’s blue eyes suddenly opened as he recalled Shao Meihui’s memories, but then he screamed in surprise when he saw an object in the tub right in front of his body.
His voice was loud, but because Ma Qiao was not waiting for him in front of the bathroom, no one anxiously banged on the bathroom door after hearing his screams, nor did he need to explain to anyone the reason behind his sudden shout.
“What are you doing here, Bai Lang?” Bai Chen asked frantically as he tried to cover his body with his hands.
Who wouldn’t feel panicked when the white wolf suddenly joined him in the bath? Yes, Bai Lang did join him at peaceful bath time, and that was why Bai Chen reflexively shouted when his eyes caught the little wolf figure in the tub.
He had always thought Bai Lang was a ghost, but he could see how the wolf’s body looked wet when it was in the water, so Bai Chen immediately corrected himself. Maybe Bai Lang wasn’t a ghost, but it was just a small monster.
“Long time no see, Bai Chen. You should greet me like that instead of yelling at me when you see me after not seeing me for a while,” Bai Lang replied casually, and the white wolf even leaned its small head on the edge of the tub as if enjoying the hot water that touched its body.
Bai Chen still covered his upper body with both his hands as he replied, “You always surprise me with your sudden appearance, Bai Lang. Can you tell me beforehand when you will appear in front of me? What if I get another heart attack and end up dying once again in this world?”
The Werewolf Prince was quite annoyed with the little wolf who always surprised him with its sudden appearance. One time the wolf suddenly appeared on the ceiling, and another time it suddenly wrapped itself around his neck from behind. And today, the wolf even dared to join his bath time without asking his permission.
“You are acting like a virgin, Bai Chen,” Bai Lang rolled its blue eyes as it calmly returned while glancing at how the Prince was trying to cover his chest protectively.
“I AM INDEED A VIRGIN, YOU DWARF WOLF!” Bai Chen shouted without realizing it, but then he immediately used both his hands to cover his mouth when he realized that he was too loud.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was indeed a virgin, but the real Bai Chen in this world was not, so he would only make the people of this world suspicious of him if they heard his scream just now.
Luckily, he didn’t hear any noise from outside the bathroom, so he could heave a sigh of relief knowing no one heard his screams.
“Yes, yes. You are indeed a virgin, and you also insist that you are a straight man, but you have continued to play with several men since you arrived in this world, Bai Chen.”
The pair of blue eyes widened once more. Bai Lang was being sarcastic, but he knew that the little wolf was not wrong.
First, he was playing with Zhu Ge, and the reason was because of the mission given by the system. But then he also played with Wu Jinhai last night when the system didn’t even give him any missions related to that man, so Bai Chen knew that he couldn’t refute Bai Lang’s taunts now.
He could only take his eyes off the little wolf as he felt embarrassed, but then he cleared his throat as he spoke again, “Do you know anything about Wu Jinhai, Bai Lang?”
Perhaps he was just wasting time when he once again asked Bai Lang such a question. He had always known that Bai Lang did know everything in this world, but he always asked the little wolf that kind of question.
“Why are you suddenly curious about Wu Jinhai, Bai Chen? You already have Zhu Ge, but you are still seduced by a man you don’t even know his face,” another mockery from Bai Lang greeted his ears, and Bai Chen turned to the little wolf again.
“How can you say that I already have Zhu Ge, Bai Lang? Zhu Ge is just my servant, and I have no such relationship with him! Stop making baseless rumors!” Bai Chen suddenly acted as if he was a celebrity involved in dating rumors with his rival in the industry, and he was furious as he continued to glare at the white wolf.
His face was flushed, and he could also feel his entire body getting warm, but he blamed the hot water for the phenomenon. There was no way he would feel embarrassed just because of those baseless rumors created by the little wolf.
Bai Lang smirked at the Prince and didn’t look offended even if the Prince treated it harshly. Still having a calm expression on its face, Bai Lang opened its mouth to speak, “You can say that you don’t have that kind of relationship with Zhu Ge, but what if I asked you to date Zhu Ge for real, Bai Chen? You won’t say no, will you?”
And Bai Chen felt his heart stop beating for a moment after hearing Bai Lang’s question. What kind of joke was that?
