IMMORTAL DAOIST AND IMMORTAL ELDER

{IF THE HOST WANT TO FIND THE ANSWER FOR THE QUESTION, THEN THE HOST MUST PAY 300 POINTS TO THE SYSTEM}

"..." Bai Chen facepalmed. He only had a pitiful 10 points now, but the system asked him to pay 300 points just to confirm his suspicions.

Bai Chen wasn't the smartest, but he managed to connect the two dots from his first mission and the thing Zhu Ge did with the real Bai Chen the day before.

'Could you give me another loan?' Bai Chen tried to bargain out of curiosity about the explanation of the theory.

{SORRY, HOST. NO ADDITIONAL MISSIONS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME}

And Bai Chen groaned inwardly. He thought that the so-called 'Additional Missions' for loans were always available, and he also thought the system was lenient, but it turned out the system was unpredictable.

'It's fine then,' Bai Chen chose to give up. 'But, are you really going to deduct my points after I break the rules twice in a row? You always talked about DOUBLE ALERT before deducting my points, so I assume that you would only deduct my points after two consecutive mistakes?"

{YES. THAT'S THE RULE. THE SYSTEM WILL ONLY DEDUCE THE HOST'S POINTS AFTER TWO CONSECUTIVE RULE VIOLATIONS}

Bai Chen's blue eyes glittered after he heard the confirmation. 'Well then, it's fine if I break the rules once in a while, right?' He asked again.

{THE NUMBER OF RULE VIOLATIONS WILL BE ACCUMULATED, SO EVEN IF THE HOST VIOLATES THE RULES IN TWO DIFFERENT DAYS, THE POINTS WILL BE DEDUCTED AS WELL}

"..." Bai Chen sighed in disappointment. He thought that he would be able to trick the system, but it was still very risky if he broke the rules once in a while.

"We have arrived at the snow mountain."

Bai Chen's conversation with the system was interrupted by another voice, and he knew that it belonged to Zhu Ge who was standing beside him.

He didn't even notice that he and Zhu Ge had arrived at the snow mountain, and Bai Chen even had to tighten his fur coat because the temperature in the area had dropped so much.

"That is the legendary Mount Heping. Do you know any stories about it, Your Highness?" Zhu Ge spoke again because the shorter man did not respond to his previous words.

They stopped walking as they stared at the mountain peak, but then Bai Chen turned his head to the taller man. "Mount Heping? I don't think I've ever heard a story about that mountain," he replied.

Zhu Ge turned to him, and one of his eyebrows rose beautifully as he asked, "You are the Prince of the Dong Lang Empire, but you don't know the story of Mount Heping?"

Bai Chen was nervous. Maybe Zhu Ge was suspicious of him because he didn't know the story about Mount Heping when he was the Dong Lang Imperial Prince, and he was waiting for the system to give him another warning.

But after waiting for a while, the red translucent screen didn't appear before his eyes, so he could heave a sigh of relief before racking his brains to find a suitable answer to Zhu Ge's question.

"Perhaps someone in the palace had told me the story, but you know that I have different interests than other people, right?" Trying his luck, Bai Chen replied while bringing his hand to creep up on Zhu Ge's arm seductively.

Even if he didn't say it directly, he believed that Zhu Ge would understand the meaning behind his words.

"Ah, I see," replied Zhu Ge, and Bai Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "So maybe you won't be interested either if I tell you the story about Mount Heping, right?"

Bai Chen realized that an opportunity for him to learn more about this world was waiting in front of him, and he knew that he couldn't let the opportunity go to waste.

Moving his hand to wrap around Zhu Ge's strong arm, he then rested his head on Zhu Ge's shoulder as he replied, "It would be different if you told me the story. I'm sure I would be interested in it if you were the storyteller."

Bai Chen found it strange when he initiated a skinship with Zhu Ge, but now that he knew that he could only rely on his acting skills to be a flirty guy, he tried to endure any skinship with the guy in red.

"Then, I shall tell you the story, Your Highness."

Bai Chen could hear Zhu Ge's reply, and he secretly smirked when he found out that he had managed to seize the opportunity to know more about this world.

"Back then, humans and werewolves weren't on good terms. They hated each other to the core, and people couldn't leave a day without war. The reason for the bad relationship was because werewolves continued to hunt humans for their food, and many werewolf hunters in the human kingdom always prey on werewolves. Both sides assumed that they were different, and they also believed that they wouldn't be able live in peace because they were each other's enemies."

The reason behind the war was predictable, so Bai Chen was not surprised when he heard Zhu Ge's story.

"The tense atmosphere remained for hundreds of years until finally, an Immortal Daoist from the human empire and an Immortal Elder from the werewolf empire met to discuss this matter."

The story continued, but Bai Chen remained silent with his head still on Zhu Ge's shoulder.

"They realized that humans and werewolves hated each other because they thought they were different, so the Elder of the werewolf empire proposed the idea of ​​forbidding werewolves to change shape into their wolf forms if they weren't in an urgent situation. The werewolves, of course, were against the idea because they hated humans to the core, so the Daoist proposed the idea of ​​sealing the hatred in the hearts of humans and werewolves under this mountain."
