86 INVITATION TO THE FEAST

{DING!

PROGRESS OF THE MISSION ‘FIND THE REAL CULPRIT BEHIND THE DEATH OF BAI CHEN’S MOTHER’

5% => 7%}

It seemed like it had been a long time since Bai Chen had last heard that annoying system sound in his head, and he even flinched slightly when he was in the middle of a conversation with Bai Renshu.

Unexpectedly, Bai Chen received a notification from the system about the progress of the mission related to the death of the real Bai Chen’s mother right after the Crown Prince revealed the facts about the friendship between the mother and the head of the Black Werewolf Clan.

Bai Renshu only mentioned that one fact, but it managed to give him 2% for his mission, and he could rest assured that any information about the woman would be important to him.

Bai Chen’s heart pounded behind his ribs as he received new information about the Black Werewolf Clan. Before today, he had no interest in the Emperor’s plans even if he could marry a girl instead of a man, but the words that just left Bai Renshu’s lips piqued his interest.

‘If I marry Shao Meihui, then I will have the support of the Black Werewolf Clan, right? Ma Qiao said that the clan is strong, so maybe I’ll be able to usurp the throne if I have their support,’ Bai Chen suddenly felt very eager to survive the Beast Hunting Event so he could quickly marry Shao Meihui.

Even if he was a Prince in this world, he realized that he would need support before he could gain the throne, just like how politicians in his previous life went to great lengths to seek support even if it cost a fortune.

.....

In this world, he didn’t need money to gain support, but he only needed to marry a girl named Shao Meihui.

The girl from the Black Werewolf Clan was the key, and if he could get the key in his hands, then he would be able to open the door to the throne.

It was indeed an unexpected result that he had from his sudden meeting with Bai Renshu today, but he assumed that he was lucky to meet that man. At least, now he knew where he could get strong support so that he would be able to usurp the throne in the future.

“I understand, Your Highness,” Bai Chen finally replied. “I will accept your challenge, but it’s not because I want to have the support of the Black Werewolf Clan. I only accepted the marriage because it was the Emperor’s plan for a peaceful atmosphere in Dong Lang.”

Bai Chen didn’t expect that he would be such a hypocrite after transmigrating to this world, but he did turn into one. He didn’t want the Crown Prince to see his true motives, and that was why he brought the Emperor into the conversation.

He didn’t know whether Bai Renshu would accept his reasoning or not, but he could see the older man smirking after hearing his decision. “Sure,” the older man replied calmly. “In that case, it’s a deal between the two of us, and I’ll see if you can hold on or not.”

Bai Chen just nodded his head, and he thought that Bai Renshu would not prolong their conversation any longer, but he was wrong when he heard the man speak again.

“Ah, I almost forgot my true purpose to come here,” Bai Renshu broke the silence before taking something out of his sleeve and handing it to the younger Prince.

Bai Chen could see the object in the Crown Prince’s hand, but he frowned instead of accepting it. It was like a necklace with a jade pendant hanging on it, and he didn’t understand why the older man had handed the necklace to him.

Seeing the confused look on Bai Chen’s face, Bai Renshu then explained, “The Emperor invites you to come to the feast on the night of the full moon that will be held at the Imperial Palace. Hang this necklace around your neck, and the guards will open the gates to the Imperial Palace for you.”

Bai Chen’s blue eyes widened when he heard Bai Renshu’s explanation, and that was because he had heard about the feast during the full moon night from Ma Qiao.

At the feast, the Dong Lang royal family along with the officials in the palace were going to enjoy human flesh as the main course, and just imagining it almost made him vomit.

He didn’t even know why werewolves were able to get hold of human flesh when both sides were now living in peace, and he didn’t bother looking for information about it either.

He simply didn’t want to think about human flesh at all, and naturally, he would decline the Emperor’s invitation for the reasons.

‘Ma Qiao said that the real Bai Chen in this world has always confined himself inside Jing Pavilion during the full moon night, so I don’t need to attend the party either, right? What’s more, Bai Lang also told me that I can survive even if I don’t eat human flesh, so I’m sure it’s fine if I decline the Emperor’s invitation.’

Bai Chen had that belief in his heart, and he was about to voice his rejection when he suddenly received a notification from the system.

{DING!

A NEW MISSION WAS UNLOCKED:

ACCEPT THE EMPEROR’S INVITATION AND ATTEND THE FEAST IN THE IMPERIAL PALACE ON THE FULL MOON NIGHT

ACCEPT | REJECT}

Just when Bai Chen thought that the mission given by the system was a complete scam, he knew that he wasn’t wrong because the system was indeed a scammer.

He had not even completed the mission regarding the Beast Hunting Event as well as the one related to Bai Chen’s mother’s death, but now he had suddenly received a new mission from the system.

‘Why should I accept the mission?’ Bai Chen questioned the system because he knew that he still had the option of rejecting it.

{THE HOST WILL MISS THE CHANCE TO SEE BLACK WEREWOLF CLAN MEMBERS AT THE FEAST IF THE HOST REJECTS THIS MISSION}

Bai Chen almost gasped if he didn’t remember that Bai Renshu was still standing in front of him.

The topic of the Black Werewolf Clan suddenly became an interesting topic for Bai Chen after discovering the relationship between the clan head and the mother of the real Bai Chen.

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

Because of that, he knew that he couldn’t simply refuse the mission because he couldn’t pass up a good opportunity. ‘How many points will I get from the mission?’ He questioned the system again before accepting the mission.

{THE HOST WILL RECEIVE 50 POINTS RIGHT AFTER THE HOST STEPS HIS FEET IN RONGYAO IMPERIAL PALACE}

Just like the mission related to the Beast Hunting Event, Bai Chen had to be present at the Imperial Palace on a full moon night to be able to earn points.

Fifteen points were not that many, but Bai Chen realized that the points would be able to save him if he accidentally went OOC which would cost him fifteen points as well.

At that moment, Bai Chen realized that every point was precious, and he couldn’t simply refuse every mission just because he wanted to.

Seeing how Bai Renshu’s hand was still floating in the air with the necklace on it, Bai Chen thought about it one more time before he stretched out his hand to receive the necklace from the older Prince.

At the same time, he decided in his heart, ‘I accept the mission.’

He could see the system locked his answer, and he could also see Bai Renshu smirking at him after the necklace had passed into his hands.

“You are very brave to accept the invitation,” the white-haired Crown Prince spoke again. “This is the first time the Emperor has invited you to the feast, and you should indeed respect him by accepting his invitation. You have saved yourself from the Emperor’s wrath, Bai Chen. Congratulations.”

Now Bai Chen knew the reason why the real Bai Chen could lock him up inside Jing Pavilion instead of attending the feast. The real Bai Chen wasn’t invited by the Emperor, so he didn’t have to attend the party.

And he was secretly relieved that he didn’t refuse the Emperor’s first invitation. The real Bai Chen had never received an invitation before, so no one knew how the Emperor would react if he turned down the invitation.

“Do you know why the Emperor suddenly invited me to the feast, Your Highness?” Bai Chen questioned the older man as he gripped the jade pendant in his hand tightly.

“You want to know the reason?” Bai Renshu asked back instead of answering. “Of course, the reason behind the invitation was to introduce you to Shao Meihui. I also want to know what you will do when you are around a girl. I wonder if you can bring your thing to get up when you are with a girl, Bai Chen.”
