Chapter 247
247 SIX-YEAR-OLD SWORD
Wu Jiang was such a spoiled child!
If Bai Chen didn’t remember that Wu Jiang was a sword and not a child, he would have scolded the weapon with such a scolding. It wasn’t that he hated the sword, but that he was simply embarrassed to see how it continued to nuzzle into his lap as he sat on the floor on the front porch of a small hut in the middle of the forest.
Yes, the hut belonged to Wu Jinhai, and it was also the man who brought Bai Chen back to that place. The man who liked to wear red clothes said that he would take Bai Chen somewhere, and unexpectedly, the man took him to his house.
Was it really that unexpected? Deep down, Bai Chen had somehow guessed that Wu Jinhai would take him back to his little house after they finished talking by the river. What else did Wu Jinhai have in the middle of the forest? Bai Chen indeed didn’t know much about the man, but he was somehow convinced that the man only had a small house there, and that was why he shouldn’t have been surprised when the taller man brought him home.
As they walked back to the small house side by side, Wu Jiang hesitantly followed them from behind, looking afraid to approach the two men walking together. That was why Wu Jinhai sighed before asking Bai Chen to apologize to the sword.
Of course, Bai Chen did not want to immediately obey the order. Why did he need to apologize to the sword? It wasn’t that he had broken the sword, and all he did was leave the sword alone in the forest. It was not even an ordinary sword, and it still managed to return to him even after he had left it in the forest.
So, he didn’t need to apologize, right?
Bai Chen was stubborn with his opinion, but Wu Jinhai was also adamant, and the man in red even said that Wu Jiang’s heart was too fragile, and that was why the sword was so hurt that Bai Chen had abandoned it.
Wu Jiang even had a heart?
.....
Bai Chen seemed speechless after hearing the man’s words, and he wasn’t even sure if the man was serious or just trying to tease him. However, when his pair of blue eyes once again glanced at the sword, he somehow believed that the sword was pitiful, and that was the reason why he finally obeyed Wu Jinhai’s order to apologize to the sword.
Did he look stupid when he did that? Bai Chen didn’t know, but even if the sword didn’t have a face, Bai Chen stupidly thought that it looked very happy, and even immediately rushed into his figure before getting into his arms.
Yes, Wu Jiang was indeed a spoiled sword, and that was why it was still stuck to his lap now even when he and Wu Jinhai had arrived at the small house, and the owner of the house asked him to wait on the porch of the house while he prepared dinner for them.
It was indeed nearing dinner time, and that was why Bai Chen could only nod at the man because he was feeling hungry at the moment.
“Can’t you sit properly like a good boy?” Finally, Bai Chen verbally reprimanded the sword.
Even if he was quite annoyed by how the sword was acting spoiled in front of him, he simply ignored the sword, and it was the first time he opened his mouth to scold the weapon. After all, when he was sitting on the floor and the sword kept snuggling into his lap, something in his crotch was very sensitive, and that was why he felt uncomfortable with the sword touching that area.
What if the sword woke the thing that was sleeping soundly right now? It wouldn’t be funny if someone saw how he got hard because of a sword, right?
Fortunately, Wu Jiang was an obedient sword, and that was why it finally stopped touching Bai Chen’s lap before standing by itself beside Bai Chen as if to be a good boy who wouldn’t disobey his parent’s orders.
What? Bai Chen saw himself as the sword’s parent now? That was another stupid thought in Bai Chen’s head, and that was why he quickly shook his head to dismiss his thoughts.
When he focused his gaze on the sword that was still standing alone beside him, he couldn’t help but be a fool as he tried to guess the age of the sword if it was a child. “Judging by your behavior, if you were really a child, you might only be five or six years old, right? That’s why you look so stupid,” he spoke to the sword.
Maybe he didn’t realize that he was the one who looked stupid for talking with the sword as if he was talking to a child, but the sword looked like it was disappointed with what Bai Chen said because it suddenly sounded like whimpering in front of his master.
“You’re right. Our son is only six years old, so you should stop bullying him.”
Suddenly, Bai Chen was not the only speaker in front of the small house, and then the Werewolf Prince turned his gaze to look at the person who had just responded to his words.
Someone had just come out of the house with a wooden food tray, and on the tray were several bowls. From a distance, Bai Chen could even smell the delicious aroma from the bowls on the tray, and that was why his stomach growled even more.
However, Bai Chen tried to suppress his werewolf desire, and when Wu Jinhai carefully placed the tray of food on the round table in front of him, he questioned the man, “Why did you say that Wu Jiang was only six years old? When we were in the Forbidden Forest, you told me that the sword has been with you since you were young, right? Why is it only six years old?”
