When Bai Chen woke up in the morning, he felt like he was having a nightmare last night. The images of how human bodies were torn apart by hungry wolves kept playing in his mind, and even after he returned to his palace, he couldn't get rid of them.
He was indeed able to return to his palace after speaking with the Emperor and the Crown Prince. He was surprised by the information about Shao Meihui's rank, but he did not question the Crown Prince any further.
In the end, he told the two white wolves that he would return to his palace, and the two wolves were initially against the idea. They still forced Bai Chen to taste human flesh, and the Emperor even ordered a servant to serve a plate of human flesh to the brown wolf.
The servant had indeed brought him a plate of human flesh, and he was once again torn between his desire and his refusal.
