There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 246 Revenge from Zhanhu

Hao Chen was still thinking about how to get close to Zhan Hu, but then Rabbit Lord delivered Zhan Hu right to his doorstep.

With the adorable tiger right in front of him, Hao Chen didn't care whether Zhan Hu and Rabbit Lord were willing or not, and shamelessly jumped onto Zhan Hu's back.

Hao Chen buried his face in Zhan Hu's neck and took a deep breath, sighing, "Zhan Hu's back is definitely the most comfortable!"

"..." Zhanhu shook his back impatiently: "Hey, who are you? Get off my back or I'll get rough with you."

"No matter how hard you shake me, Zhanhu, I'm not coming down."

Hao Chen sat as if walking on flat ground on Zhan Hu's back, his tone very calm, as if stating a fact.

But Hao Chen's attitude angered Zhan Hu. He could let Rabbit sit on his back, but that didn't mean anyone could sit on his back.

After all, he was Chi You's mount, and not just anyone could ride him.

"Roar!"

With a roar, Zhanhu lashed out with its tail, which lashed out like a whip across its back.

"Hmm! So ruthless!" Hao Chen's lips twitched. He hadn't expected that Zhan Hu would go so far as to kill him just to get him down.

Left with no other choice, Hao Chen had to grab Rabbit and jump off Zhan Hu's back to avoid being hit by Zhan Hu's tail.

The moment Hao Chen landed, he saw Zhan Hu looking at him with disdain. This reminded Hao Chen of the flag he had just set, and his face flushed red, as if he had slapped himself in the face.

"Hey, didn't you say you weren't going to come down? Why are you coming down now?"

Hearing Zhan Hu's taunts, Hao Chen's face darkened: "Zhan Hu, you're a bit cheeky. Today I'll show you the consequences of disobeying."

"Heh, come on if you dare."

Zhan Hu did not lower his guard just because Hao Chen was small. He could tell that Hao Chen was a Pixiu, which could change its size.

Therefore, after preparing to fight Hao Chen, Zhan Hu bent his limbs, tensed his muscles, arched his back, and kept swishing his tail, ready to launch an attack at any time.

"A good opportunity!" Suddenly, Zhanhu noticed that Haochen's eyes were drawn to its constantly swishing tail. With a powerful push of its hind paws, it pounced on Haochen.

"Zhanhu, stop! Don't hurt Haochen!"

When Rabbit Lord saw Hao Chen standing there dumbly in the face of Zhan Hu's attack, his heart couldn't help but jump. He was worried that if Hao Chen was injured by Zhan Hu, Pi Pi and the others would have to settle scores with Zhan Hu when they got back, and then there would be another big fight.

However, Zhanhu was already in mid-air, and it wasn't something he could just stop doing. But after hearing what Rabbit Lord said, Zhanhu did reduce his strength a bit.

"Tear~"

Zhanhu's claws easily sliced ​​across Haochen's body, but Zhanhu's expression changed drastically as a result.

It wasn't that Hao Chen was hurt, but Zhan Hu noticed that the feeling of his claws was wrong, as if he was grabbing at thin air.

The next second confirmed Zhan Hu's idea. Hao Chen in front of Zhan Hu gradually became blurry and finally disappeared.

"Oh no, it's a clone! When did this happen? Where did it really go?" Zhanhu hurriedly looked around.

Meanwhile, Hao Chen had already used his clone and escape techniques to arrive behind Zhan Hu: "Hehe, Zhan Hu, do you know there's a kind of injury called 'the sorrow of the testicles'?"

"What?! What do you want to do?" Zhan Hu felt a sense of foreboding.

The next moment, Hao Chen quickly flicked Zhan Hu's lychee.

"..." Zhan Hu looked at Hao Chen in disbelief, then at his own lychees, and completely lost his composure.

Hao Chen knew that his move wouldn't do much damage to Zhan Hu, but it would be extremely humiliating.

Before Zhanhu could even react, Haochen quickly rubbed Zhanhu's lychee again and teased, "Zhanhu, your lychee feels pretty good. I'll play with you again next time. I have to go now, bye-bye."

Although he was reluctant, Hao Chen knew that if he didn't run away now, he would be really doomed once Zhan Hu came to his senses.

Rabbit was also stunned by Hao Chen's actions, his mouth agape. He then covered his face and turned away, feeling that it would have been better not to know Hao Chen at this moment, as it was too embarrassing.

He had considered the possibility of Zhanhu and Haochen fighting, and was even prepared to go up and bandage their wounds at any time.

Rabbit Lord was just surprised that Hao Chen would be so shameless: "I don't know where Hao Chen learned this from. I have to tell the Four-Faced Beast when I get back. I absolutely can't offend Hao Chen, otherwise the Four-Faced Beast's innocence will be ruined..."

As Rabbit Lord was thinking this, Zhan Hu had already come to his senses and walked over to Rabbit Lord, lying down beside him: "Rabbit Lord, let's go, we should go back."

"Hey, Zhanhu, aren't you angry?" Looking at Zhanhu's nonchalant demeanor, Rabbit felt something was off. This was far too calm; it didn't seem like Zhanhu's usual reaction.

"Don't be angry. You can run away, but you can't hide. Humph!" Zhan Hu said, suppressing his anger. He knew that there was no use in being angry now. Everything would wait until night. He didn't believe that Hao Chen wouldn't go back to the Deer Man's Shop to sleep tonight.

On the other side, after teasing Zhan Hu, Hao Chen quickly returned to the Deer Man Shop, not worried at all that Zhan Hu would seek revenge later.

"Haha, I'm back! Tianlu, come out and let me hug you."

Hao Chen's voice didn't summon Tian Lu; instead, the Qilin came out: "You're back, so why are you shouting so loudly?"

"Oh, it's you, Si Bu Xiang. Where are Tian Lu and the others?" Hao Chen was a little surprised. It wasn't lunchtime yet; Tian Lu should be at home waiting for lunch.

"Pipi and the others went to Walnut's house as guests today and won't be eating at home."

Hearing the Four-Faced Beast's answer, Hao Chen didn't think much of it. He had heard Rabbit and the others say that Walnut had been learning to cook recently and often invited people to taste his dishes. Both the Four-Faced Beast and Rabbit had been there, so he guessed it was Tianlu's turn today.

Thinking of this, Haochen also decided to go and take a look, maybe he would have a chance to get some walnuts today.

"You four-legged creature, I'm going to Walnut's house for a free meal today, so you don't need to cook for me."

Hao Chen was about to leave when the Qilin grabbed his tail and pulled him back: "Wait, Hao Chen, don't go yet. Di Ting has come to find you. It seems there's something he wants to tell you."

"Di Ting?!" Hao Chen frowned as he looked at the Qilin: "Did Di Ting say why he wanted to see me?"

"No." The four-legged creature shook its head, then said in a serious tone, "Did you run out last night and do something bad? Otherwise, why would Di Ting and Bai Ze come looking for you?"

"Bai Ze is here too?" Hao Chen was a little confused. It was one thing for Di Ting to come, but what was up with Bai Ze? Wasn't he supposed to be a homebody? Why would he come to Caiyun Mountain, and with Di Ting at that?

Seeing that Haochen didn't speak, the Sibir simply picked him up.

"Hey, what are you doing, you four-legged creature? I can walk by myself. You're making me lose face. If you really can't, you can carry me. Why are you carrying me like I'm a vegetable?"

The four-legged creature ignored Hao Chen's shouts and carried him to see Di Ting and Bai Ze.

Looking at Di Ting and Bai Ze sitting on the sofa drinking tea, Hao Chen's face turned slightly red. He saw that Di Ting and Bai Ze were trying not to laugh, so he quickly coughed a few times: "Ahem, you can put me down now, you four-legged creature."

"You guys chat, I'm going to cook. Oh, and Di Ting, you can stay for a meal today."

The Qilin sensed that Diting had come to see Haochen about something important, so it didn't stay to disturb him and left with an excuse.

Seeing that the Qilin had left, Hao Chen groomed his fur and then curiously examined Bai Ze, who had transformed into a divine beast: "It's Bai Ze. I haven't petted it much yet, so I wonder what it feels like."

Hearing Hao Chen's thoughts, Bai Ze's face darkened. He thought to himself, "This guy doesn't look like someone who can save the world at all."

Di heard Hao Chen reach out his paw to pet Bai Ze, so he quickly picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Hao Chen: "Have a sip of tea to soothe your throat first."

Looking at the tea in front of him, Hao Chen reluctantly accepted it, but in doing so, he missed the opportunity to touch Bai Ze.

Then Di Ting said, "Ahem, Hao Chen, stop fooling around. My master and I have come to see you about something important. You should have seen the situation in the Heavenly Court, right?"

"Huh?!" Hao Chen's expression instantly turned serious. He was about to ask Di Ting how he knew about this, but he quickly realized that knowing this kind of thing was nothing to Di Ting and Bai Ze.

Hao Chen nodded: "I saw it last night. This world is collapsing."

At this moment, Bai Ze nodded and said, "Hao Chen, we are all illusions, products of this neuro-dream world. Therefore, we have no way to deal with the destruction of the world and can only choose to accept it. But you are different; you are the variable."

Upon hearing Bai Ze's words, Hao Chen fell silent. He knew that Di Ting and the others had come to him hoping that he would take action.

This world was created by Chen Ying, so in theory, I, who share the same origin as him, should have the ability to prevent the world from being destroyed.

But Hao Chen couldn't think of a way to save the world for the time being. He had never played with anything like the God's Dream, so he had no idea how to save the world.

Moreover, even if one knew the method, saving a world would likely come at a great cost. It might only result in the disappearance of one's own consciousness, or it might even affect the physical body.

While Hao Chen was thinking, Di Ting and Bai Ze watched quietly, without any intention of urging him.

However, the upturned corners of their mouths seemed to indicate that they were very confident that Haochen would agree.

The next moment, Hao Chen said with a firm look in his eyes, "I understand, I will find a way as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Hao Chen's agreement, Di Ting felt a sense of relief: "Then Hao Chen, you need to hurry, there's only one month left in the world."

"Okay, I understand, but..."

Changing the subject, a sly glint flashed in Hao Chen's eyes: "But as you know, Di Ting needs a reward, so you and Bai Ze will have to sacrifice yourselves and let me enjoy myself!"

"Hey, Haochen, don't do anything reckless."

"Wait, if you want to pet a beast, just ask Di Ting, don't ask me."

Under the hopeless gazes of Di Ting and Bai Ze, Hao Chen grabbed his paw and pinched the paw pads.

After finally managing to have lunch at the Four-Unlikes restaurant, Di Ting and Bai Ze hurriedly left, as if something was about to devour them.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? I was planning to ask Bai Ze for some Bai Ze feathers." The Four-Faced Beast scratched its head in confusion as it watched Bai Ze flee as if it were running away.

Hao Chen turned his head away guiltily; he dared not say that Bai Ze was scared by his offer to lick his fur.

"I'm going to take a nap," Hao Chen said, making an excuse before slipping away.

The four-legged creature looked at Hao Chen, who had run to sleep under the tree in the yard, and shook its head: "Really, he doesn't even know how to help wash the dishes."

Having enjoyed Zhanhu's lychees this morning and then thoroughly enjoyed playing with Diting and Bai Ze, Haochen was now contentedly taking a nap.

As Hao Chen began to snore, Zhan Hu and Oleander appeared beside him.

Zhan Hu nudged the oleander beside him: "Oleander, it's up to you. Make Hao Chen sleep soundly."

"Hey, Zhanhu, are you really going to do this? Won't something bad happen?" Oleander looked at the paintbrush in Zhanhu's hand and a bucket of dye that was said to be impossible to wash off in three days, and hesitated.

Zhan Hu snorted coldly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Thinking of the humiliation he suffered that morning, Zhan Hu couldn't wait to teach Hao Chen a lesson he would never forget. If Hao Chen dared to embarrass him in front of Rabbit Master, then he would make Hao Chen embarrass himself in front of everyone.

Fortunately, Oleander wasn't there at the time, which Zhanhu was glad about. Otherwise, if he had lost face in front of Oleander, Zhanhu would have been furious with Haochen.

Seeing that Zhan Hu insisted, Oleander had no choice but to extend its claw and touch Hao Chen's forehead, causing Hao Chen to fall into a deep sleep from which he would not wake up for a while.
