There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 247 Hao Chen's Frustration (Part 1)

As the four-legged creature placed the bowls and chopsticks on the table, it called out towards the door, "Pipi, stop playing around and go wash your paws so we can eat."

"Now we know what a 'four unlikes' is."

Upon hearing that it was time to eat, Tianlu stopped what he was doing and pulled Bixie and Qishiqi to wash their paws.

While washing his paws, Tianlu felt like something was missing today, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it: "Strange, why do I feel like something's missing from Bixie?"

Bixie frowned and thought for a moment, but couldn't recall anything missing either. However, seeing that Tianlu had been washing his paws for a long time and they were still not healed, he couldn't help but urge, "You're overthinking it, Tianlu. Make way, it's my turn and Seventy-Seven's turn to wash."

After washing their paws, the three little ones had to walk upright to avoid getting their paws dirty.

This action was easy for Tianlu and Bixie, but when it was Qishiqi's turn, he was in all sorts of trouble, walking unsteadily as if he were drunk.

At this moment, Seventy-Seven missed the clean ground of the Heavenly Court. In the Heavenly Court, he didn't have to worry about getting his front paws dirty and could walk on his hind paws.

Therefore, walking on only the hind paws like a human was a first for Seventy-Seven.

"Haha, Seventy-Seven, you left in such a strange way."

"Tianlu, don't laugh. I'll be able to walk upright soon."

Seventy-Seven was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Bixie encouraged him from the side, and with his own strong learning ability, he was soon able to walk freely.

"Alright, Bixie Tianlu, let's go eat quickly, don't keep the Qilin waiting too long."

Having just learned to walk on his hind paws, Seventy-Seven quickly pulled Tianlu and the others to eat. He's a good kid; he knows it's impolite to make others wait for him.

The Qilin, seeing Bixie Tianlu and Qishiqi rushing over to eat, didn't notice anything amiss. It pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Qishiqi, I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I made chicken stew with mushrooms, which Pipi loves. I hope you don't mind."

"It smells so good!" Seventy-Seven's mouth was watering at the aroma of the food on the table.

Because Seventy-Seven had been weak since childhood, he could only eat specially made food in the Heavenly Court and could only occasionally eat some celestial fruits. He had never smelled such fragrant food before.

Tianlu looked at Qishiqi, who was drooling with envy, and said with a proud expression, "Qishiqi, you don't need to be polite with Sixiang. His cooking is really delicious. You can tell him whatever you want to eat in the future."

The four-legged creature standing to the side was speechless upon hearing Tianlu's words.

"Although Pipi said my cooking is delicious, I am very happy."

But Pipi, the way you're saying this makes it sound like you're treating me like your personal chef, that I can eat whatever I want, and that's making me a little unhappy.

The next moment, the four-legged creature's claws rose uncontrollably and slammed down on Tianlu's head.

boom! !

"Why did you hit me, you four-legged creature?" Tianlu was a little dazed after being suddenly flicked on the forehead by the four-legged creature, and he covered his head.

"Tianlu, are you alright?" Bixie hadn't expected the Qilin to suddenly attack Tianlu, so he didn't have time to stop it.

But he could tell that the Four-Faced Beast was just playing around with Tianlu, so Bixie just glared at the Four-Faced Beast and then patted Tianlu's head with concern.

Ignoring the gaze of the man wielding the Evil-Repelling Blade, the Four-Faced Beast tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into Tianlu's mouth: "Even food can't shut you up. Eat up, or the food will get cold."

Although Tianlu wanted to settle scores with the Four-Unlikes right now, the chicken leg in his mouth was too delicious. Therefore, between the food and teaching the Four-Unlikes a lesson, Tianlu chose to eat the food first and then teach the Four-Unlikes a lesson.

The four-legged creature was not worried about this, because it knew that Tianlu would forget about it after eating.

"You guys eat first, I'll go to the kitchen to see if the soup is ready." The four-legged creature said, turning and walking into the kitchen.

A moment later, the four-legged creature and Meimei came out carrying a large bowl of fish soup: "Excuse me, the soup is here, be careful it's hot."

Looking at the few little creatures eating at the table, the Qilin felt a sense of accomplishment, like an old father taking care of his children, but at the same time, it also felt the pressure from the Pixiu's appetite.

"Sigh, raising Pipi was already difficult enough, and now we have Bixie and Qishiqi too. Luckily, we have Rabbit God to help us, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to afford to raise three Pixiu."

Just then, the Qilin suddenly paused, then looked carefully at the little ones eating: "Meimei, Pipi, Bixie, Qishiqi... Hmm, where's Haochen? Why didn't he come to eat?"

Tianlu and the others ate for a long time before the Qilin realized that Haochen was missing. But the Qilin wasn't worried that Haochen would be in danger; after all, he was a divine beast Pixiu, what could possibly happen to him?

Moreover, it is the animals of the Caiyun Mountains who should be worried, since if they accidentally encounter a Pixiu, they will probably just become its extra meal.

However, pulling at the few remaining dishes on the table, the four-legged creature quickly said, "Pipi, you guys don't eat yet, leave some for Haochen."

"Haochen?!" Tianlu slapped his forehead after hearing what the Qi-like creature said: "That's right, I knew something was missing, I didn't see Haochen today."

Bixie frowned at this moment, thinking about more things, such as why none of the beasts remembered Haochen.

Moreover, Bixie vaguely felt that his memories were becoming blurred, as if a part of them was about to be erased, but he couldn't figure out which part of his memories it was.

"Bixie, why are you spacing out? What are you thinking about?" Tianlu waved its paw in front of Bixie.

"Oh, nothing. I was just wondering what Haochen was doing. I haven't seen him all day." Bixie casually made up an excuse.

Upon hearing Bixie's words, Tianlu indignantly exclaimed, "Haochen must have found something delicious to eat!"

Bixie, Seventy-seven, Qihuo: "..."

"Tianlu, do you think everyone is like you? All you know is eating." Bixie felt that his younger brother was useless, because all he thought about was food.

At this moment, Seventy-Seven said, "Bixie, Tianlu, we've almost finished eating. How about we go find Haochen and see what he's doing?"

Upon hearing what Seventy-Seven said, Tianlu was the first to agree. He trusted his judgment; Haochen must have found something delicious, which was why he hadn't come back for dinner.

Since the younger brother had agreed, Bixie, as the older brother, naturally wouldn't refuse. However, before they could even go to find Haochen, Haochen returned.

"I heard you guys making noise as soon as I came in. Is something fun to do?"

Hao Chen walked into the house with a cheerful gait. For some reason, his afternoon nap today felt exceptionally comfortable, and he slept until dinner time without waking up. If Xiang Tai hadn't happened to pass by and woken him up, he probably would have slept until evening.

After hearing Hao Chen's voice, Si Bu Xiang and Tian Lu looked towards the door.

The next moment, Tianlu, Qishiqi, and Meimei, for some reason, burst into uncontrollable laughter.

Even the usually aloof Bixie was trying hard to suppress his laughter, while the Qilin looked at Haochen with a strange expression, unable to hide the smile on its lips.

Looking at the laughing beasts, Hao Chen was a little confused. He felt that Tian Lu and the others were laughing because of him.

Hao Chen touched his face; there was nothing there.

I looked down at my paws again, but I didn't step on anything.

The tail hair is still there; there are no bald patches.

"What are you laughing at? Do I look funny?" Hao Chen said impatiently.

After hearing Hao Chen's words, the four-legged creature suppressed its laughter and took out a mirror from its body, handing it to Hao Chen: "Hao Chen, don't blame us for laughing at you, take a look in the mirror."

Hao Chen took the mirror with suspicion and looked at himself in it.

The next moment, the mirror shattered into pieces with a loud "bang." Hao Chen's face was grim, and veins bulged on his forehead: "Zhan Hu, I'll fuck your ass!"

A colorful turtle had been drawn on Hao Chen's face by someone.

Just thinking about how I walked all the way with a turtle-like face, how Shota woke me up with a look that he couldn't help but laugh, and how the crows flying overhead praised my unique appearance...

A surge of anger welled up in Hao Chen's heart, and he had a vivid image of himself being the clown.

It's obvious without even thinking that the turtle on his face was drawn by Zhan Hu.

It was only because I offended Zhanhu when I was picking lychees this morning that he used this method to embarrass me.

Hao Chen rushed to the washroom, grabbed a strange-looking towel, and frantically rubbed his face with it.

But when Hao Chen removed the towel, he was immediately dumbfounded: "Holy crap, I can't wipe it off! What the hell did Zhan Hu use on me? Am I going to have a turtle face now?!"

"Zhanhu, you're going to be in big trouble tonight. I'm telling you, even if Rabbit Lord comes, it won't help. And you, Oleander, won't escape either."

No wonder I slept so well during my afternoon nap today; now that I think about it, it must have been dried oleander.
