RIDICULOUS AND DISGUSTING

Two weeks ago, the rebels in Dong Lang were defeated and captured, and some of those who refused to admit defeat was even killed on the spot. The throne in Dong Lang once again returned to Bai Guowei, and he announced his new successor to be none other than Bai Chen just one day after the coup in Dong Lang was dealt with.

Bai Guowei announced this to the public when he invited Bai Chen to appear in front of his people, and people were shocked by Bai Chen's new appearance. Bai Chen appeared with long white hair, and for some unknown reason, the Power Crystal on his forehead, which normally only appeared when a werewolf was in his wolf form, could be seen even when the young man was in his human form.

The day before the announcement, Bai Guowei was also shocked by the change in his youngest son, but then Bai Chen explained that he had received the Immortal Elder's Power Crystal, and that was why he now had the Elder's power, even his appearance had also changed due to the existence of the Power Crystal in his body.

Of course, it was good news for Bai Guowei after he lost his Power Crystal because of Shao Yaoting. He felt weak and useless, and he felt even worse when he realized that he didn't have a strong successor who deserved to be the next ruler of Dong Lang. Fortunately, everything changed after he learned the truth about Bai Chen possessing the power of the Immortal Elder now.

That was why the Emperor of Dong Lang had proudly announced to his people that Bai Chen was the new Crown Prince of the empire, and he had also told his people that it was the Immortal Elder who had chosen Bai Chen to fill the vacant spot. Of course, people wouldn't dare to disobey when they heard how Bai Guowei sternly mentioned the Immortal Elder.

The matter in Dong Lang had been resolved with the announcement, and just two weeks after the announcement in Dong Lang, Wu Li also announced their new Crown Prince.

Yes, it was Wu Shun who proudly announced that Wu Jinhai was the new Crown Prince of the empire. Two weeks ago, Wu Jinhai reported to him without wearing his golden mask, but Wu Shun no longer saw the golden fish scales on his son's forehead. Afterward, Wu Jinhai said that he was no longer a half-fish demon, and that was why Wu Shun could confidently pass the seat of Crown Prince to his eldest son.

Of course, several ripples appeared in Xinyang Imperial Palace before and after the announcement. In the past two weeks, the opposition faction tried to force the Emperor to change his mind by saying that Wu Jingguo had been the Crown Prince in Wu Li for many years, and that was why the Emperor couldn't just change the Crown Prince arbitrarily.

But it seemed that Wu Shun had expected that kind of protest, and he just calmly said that he had just returned everything to Wu Jinhai because Wu Jinhai was the rightful Crown Prince from the start. Wu Jinhai was robbed since he was a baby just because of the poison in his body, and that was why Wu Shun said that his eldest son deserved the title of Crown Prince.

Besides, Wu Jinhai was no longer a half-fish demon now, and that was why the opposition faction no longer had any reason to fight against his decision, right?

That was why Wu Shun finally proclaimed Wu Jinhai as the new Crown Prince yesterday, and they even held a grand banquet at Xinyang Imperial Palace, inviting many important figures of both Wu Li and Dong Lang.

That was the reason why Yu Ming and Wu Jingguo were wasted together because they did drink together last night, and now when they came to their senses once again, Wu Jingguo was shocked when he heard the older man's question.

"Your question is ridiculous," Wu Jingguo replied as he looked away from the older man sitting next to him on the bed. "I never wanted to be the Crown Prince of this empire, and I know my brother deserves the position. Everything is back in its right place now."

Yu Ming had received the answer from the Prince, but he didn't immediately respond and silently looked at the black-haired man. He didn't know if he was the one who messed with Wu Jingguo's hair last night, but the black strands were not tied up neatly and covered the man's shoulders instead.

When Yu Ming glanced at the man's naked body, he could see many red marks on it, and he finally looked away. 'Sure enough, I was the one who left those marks,' he thought to himself.

That was kind of embarrassing, but Yu Ming chose to pretend as if nothing happened as he said, "You sat in the Crown Prince's seat for so many years, and I was only worried if you felt like something was missing from you after you could no longer sit in that chair."

This time, Wu Jingguo turned to the older man with a sneer, "You're worried about me? I didn't expect you would lower your pride just to tell me how you truly feel about me, Yu Ming."

Hearing Wu Jingguo's statement, Yu Ming turned to the younger man with a frown on his forehead. "I thought it was you who was so arrogant that you never admitted your feelings for me, Your Highness."

Wu Jingguo no longer snickered, but he raised an eyebrow after hearing how Yu Ming addressed him formally. Instead of directly answering, Wu Jingguo raised his right hand before aiming it at Yu Ming's face. To be exact, Wu Jingguo used his hand to grab Yu Ming's chin, forcing the older man to look his way.

"What feelings are you talking about, Master Yu?" Coldly, Wu Jingguo asked the question. "I have to admit that lately, we've gotten closer to each other, and I also noticed how I stopped treating you badly. But you didn't have any strange thoughts about how I changed my attitude towards you, did you? You don't think that I... fell in love with you or something, right? Such a thought is ridiculous and disgusting because I would never fall in love with you, Master Yu."
