There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 248 Hao Chen's Frustration (Part 2)

"A dark and windy night for murder... uh, I mean a dark and windy night for groping beasts."

Hao Chen quietly opened his eyes and saw that the clock had reached twelve o'clock. A villainous smirk appeared on his lips.

"Zhanhu and Tuye should be asleep by now. It's time to make our move. Zhanhu, you've got some nerve to draw on my face."

Hao Chen got out of bed, looked at Bi Xie, Tian Lu and Qi Shi Qi who were sleeping beside him, and then licked their faces without making a sound.

"It smells so good, it's so cute. But the way Bixie is drooling in its sleep, is it dreaming about something good?"

After taking a picture of Bixie as a memento, Haochen tiptoed out of bed. But when he passed by Qishiqi, Haochen stopped and looked at Qishiqi with a complicated expression.

Hao Chen hadn't forgotten that when Seventy-Seven used purification magic to remove the painting from his face today, the aura he emitted clearly carried a hint of the Four-Unlikes.

If you said that Seventy-Seven and Four-Unlikes had no connection whatsoever, Hao Chen would never believe it, not even if you beat him to death.

However, Hao Chen believes that even Seventy-Seven himself might not know about the Four No-Forms, let alone know about his relationship with the Four No-Forms.

Aside from the Heavenly Court, the only people who probably know the inside story are the Earth and Bai Ze.

"Bai Ze might not say, and the Heavenly Court now..." Hao Chen sighed, thinking of the vanished Heavenly Court.

As Hao Chen walked past the Seventy-Seven and headed outside, he recalled what Bai Ze and Di Ting had said that morning and couldn't help but ask himself: although he was narcissistic and even liked to talk big, did he really have the ability to prevent the world from being destroyed?

"Where is my path? What is the end of Yin and Yang? And what is Chen Ying's purpose in sending me here?"

"Saving the world even at the cost of everything seems simple, but how do I do it? Do I really have the ability?"

The more Haochen thought about it, the more confused he became, and a sense of fear arose in his heart.

He feared seeing Tianlu, Bixie, and the Qilin disappear before his eyes as the world was destroyed.

He feared that in the end it would all be just a dream, and everything would come to nothing.

"Crack!"

Like a bolt of lightning striking his head, Hao Chen suddenly woke up, his face filled with terror: "What's wrong with me? Wasn't I supposed to be going to find Zhan Hu for revenge? Why am I suddenly worried about these things?!"

Unable to figure it out, Hao Chen simply stopped thinking about it, but he quietly began to take the events that had just occurred seriously.

He knew that his state just now was definitely not normal. It was as if a voice in his mind was telling him that he couldn't do it, urging him to give up, making his consciousness sink, making him deny himself, as if trying to take over his body.

This bizarre state made Hao Chen feel a chill run down his spine. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he really fell into this state and couldn't wake up.

Shaking his head to dispel the negative emotions in his heart, Hao Chen found himself unknowingly walking to the door of the strange creature's room.

"A room for a creature that doesn't resemble a unicorn?! I wonder what it's like for a unicorn to sleep without us around?"

Judging that it was still early, Hao Chen quietly pushed open a crack in the door and peeked inside. The pitch-black environment did not obstruct Hao Chen's view at all.

Seeing that the four-legged creature was sleeping soundly, Hao Chen felt relieved and pushed open the door, tiptoed in, afraid of waking it up.

"Huh, Tianlu's memories have all returned, the Pixiu Heart Lock is useless now, and why is the Qilin still wearing a mask while sleeping?"

After learning about the changes in the Heavenly Court, Hao Chen dealt with the Azure Birds, causing them to crash.

Even so, the Qilin still wore a mask on its face when it slept. When Haochen saw this, he carefully took off the Qilin's mask.

Looking at the creature's true appearance, even though it was asleep with its eyes closed, Hao Chen still felt his heart beat faster.

"If the appearance of the four-faced creatures is that of an ethereal being, then the four-unlike creatures are strikingly handsome, with a beauty that is so stunning that it seems to have stepped out of a painting, a beauty that is beyond imagination."

"A gentleman as fine as jade, unparalleled in the world." Looking at the face of the four unlikes, Hao Chen could only use this phrase to describe it.

Because he was worried that making too much noise would wake up the creature, Hao Chen didn't linger. After admiring the creature's beauty for a while and taking a picture of it without the mask, Hao Chen put the mask back on the creature's face.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't forget that tonight's main event is Zhan Hu."

Hao Chen couldn't help but sigh at the thought that he had actually managed to watch the strange creature for half an hour before falling asleep.

Having seen plenty of furry creatures, I was actually captivated by this strange creature.

But the thought that he had seen the true face of the Qilin, while Rabbit Lord could only admire the masked Qilin, made Hao Chen chuckle to himself.

Even the masked Qilin has captivated Rabbit Lord so much; I wonder if Rabbit Lord would be completely mesmerized by the handsome face beneath the mask.

Before long, Hao Chen arrived outside Rabbit God's burrow. Looking at the door, which resembled a sewer manhole cover, Hao Chen pulled on the handle.

"Hmm, it's not open enough, try a little harder."

"Huh, it still hasn't opened."

Hao Chen was a little confused. Was he so weak that he couldn't even open a door?

Puzzled, Hao Chen examined Rabbit Lord's door closely and discovered that a keyhole had appeared on it sometime during the day.

"Wait, who is Rabbit Lord guarding against? Does he think I'd steal gold from his house?"

Hao Chen was a little angry and decided that if he had the chance later, he would take some gold with him, otherwise he would be letting Rabbit Lord down.

"Luckily, when you're out in the world, having more skills means having more options." Hao Chen rummaged around in his tail for a while, then pulled out a wire: "Watch this, the ultimate lock-picking king's skills."

Hao Chen poked the wire into the keyhole and fiddled with it for a long time. With a "click," Hao Chen pulled out half of the wire with a grim expression.

"Damn, this wire is so brittle, it actually broke. It really ruined my reputation." Hao Chen would never admit that he didn't know how to pick locks at all.

With no other option, Haochen resorted to the simplest method: he gripped the manhole cover tightly with both hands, and with sheer force, he managed to lift it off the manhole.

"A mere lock, easily opened by this great master." Hao Chen, without batting an eye, reclaimed the title of "Lock Picker King" for himself.

Then, Hao Chen jumped directly into the hole and groped his way to a door.

"Is Zhanhu in here?" Haochen frowned and sniffed the doorway, finding scents of Zhanhu, oleander, and rabbit.

For a moment, Hao Chen couldn't tell if the room belonged to Zhan Hu, so he had to choose the simplest method: searching each room one by one.

"Hmm, is this the kitchen? Why did Rabbit Lord set up a kitchen at home? No wonder I sometimes don't see him during mealtimes. It turns out he's cooking for himself at home."

"Is this the Rabbit Lord's carrot storage room?!"

"A cabbage storage room?!"

"grass……"

"moon cake……"

……

"Hoo, hoo... How many rooms has Lord Rabbit set up to hide food? Is he worried about a famine?!"

Hao Chen searched more than ten rooms, but they were either kitchens or storage rooms, and there were even two toilets, but he couldn't find the room where Zhan Hu was.

However, looking at the three innermost rooms, Hao Chen felt reassured, thinking that surely one of them must belong to Zhan Hu.

As the door was pushed open, Hao Chen's expression changed from anticipation to astonishment: "Damn, I went to the wrong place again."

The room was filled with merchandise featuring the mythical creature, with clothes, shoes, and socks resembling it being just a small part of the collection.

More often, there are various badges and standees in the cabinets, exquisite picture books hanging on the walls, and a bunch of unfinished, somewhat unconventional statues.

"Rabbit Lord really has a deep love for these four strange creatures. Last time, a batch of statues were destroyed by the four strange creatures, and now they dare to commit crimes against the wind again."

Hao Chen had no intention of taking possession of these statues, so he simply appreciated them as works of art, left a few of his own creations, and then departed.

"The most exciting moment has finally arrived." Looking at the two doors in front of him, with a 50/50 chance, Hao Chen couldn't hide his excitement, feeling the thrill of opening a blind box.

"As a Pixiu, my luck can't be this bad, open it for me."

"Finally, finally I've found you, Zhanhu."

Seeing Zhanhu and Nerium oleander sleeping together in bed, Haochen was immediately moved to tears. This trip had really been tough.

"Zhanhu, you're finished... Wait, Zhanhu, why aren't you asleep yet?!"

Hao Chen walked to Zhan Hu's side, took out his paintbrush, and was about to give Zhan Hu a taste of his own medicine when he discovered that Zhan Hu was staring at him with a pair of heterochromatic eyes, a disdainful smile flashing in the corner of his eye.

Hao Chen was incredibly frustrated. Zhan Hu hadn't slept, so what had he been busy with all night?

"Hehe, Zhanhu, the weather is really nice tonight. You can continue sleeping, I won't disturb you."

Hao Chen awkwardly put away his paintbrush and was about to slip away when Zhan Hu grabbed his tail.

"Hehe, since you're already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?!"

"No, I was wrong." Hao Chen was on the verge of tears: "Can you please stop drawing things on my face? It's hard to remove. Or I'll just let you spank me."
