There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 17 The Money-Grubber: A Different Kind

Because of Di Ting's carelessness, a malevolent spirit imprisoned in the underworld broke free of its seal and ran away to the mortal realm to hide. Now, it has finally discovered the malevolent spirit's whereabouts!

It was only because Di Ting could not stay in the mortal world for a long time that he came to the deer man's shop to seek the help of the Qilin.

"Fourth Boss, the reason why the evil spirit came to the mortal world was caused by your employees, so you should help catch it back."

After hearing this, Di looked at Haochen, his meaning clear: this was trouble caused by your employee, and as the boss, you have an obligation to help clean up the mess.

But Hao Chen pouted and muttered under his breath, "What does this have to do with me? You can't keep an eye on things and you want to blame me? No way."

However, all those present were divine beasts, whose hearing was naturally excellent. Hearing Hao Chen's complaints, Di Ting was also ashamed, but still said, "Fourth Boss, life and death are all predetermined. If that evil spirit stays in the mortal world for too long, it will disrupt the order of the mortal world. Besides, that evil spirit is somewhat abnormal."

The four-legged creature stroked its chin and said, "Although that's true, Haochen wasn't an employee of the Deer Man Shop when he was born, and you also said that the evil spirit is abnormal. I have to be responsible for the safety of my employees."

Hearing what the Qilin said, Di Ting sighed, picked up the Bai Ze pillow beside him, and was about to leave: "Alright, since you've said so, Fourth Boss, I can only find someone else to help. It's a pity, I prepared a reward of over a million."

"and many more."

Just as Di Ting turned to leave, the Qilin suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Di Ting's paw, and pressed him back onto the sofa: "Don't rush off, let's talk about that evil spirit again."

"Oh, didn't the fourth boss not want his employees to get hurt?" Di Ting's golden pupils seemed to see through the strange creature's thoughts.

The four-legged creature rubbed its hands and said, "Times have changed, you're wrong."

However, the Qilin immediately realized that it had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected itself, saying, "My Deer-Man Shop is here to help all the divine beasts solve their problems. Since Di Ting is in trouble, and this is related to the safety of the mortal world, I cannot sit idly by."

Upon hearing what the Four-Faced Beast said, Di Ting couldn't help but applaud: "Fourth Boss, well said. In that case, we'll trouble you."

"You're too kind, but Pipi and Haochen are still young, and I'm afraid they might not be a match for that evil spirit, so..."

With the help of the earth, Di Ting had already discerned the greedy nature of the Qi Beast, so it followed the Qi Beast's words and said, "I understand, I will apply for another million in activity funds for you."

Upon hearing that another million had been deposited into the account, the Qilin, holding onto Di Ting's paw, said cheerfully, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

After saying that, the Qilin looked at Haochen, who was playing with Tianlu, and asked, "Haochen, did you hear that?"

"Huh? What did you hear?" Hao Chen asked in confusion. He had been playing with Tian Lu the whole time and hadn't heard what the Four-Faced Beast and Di Ting were talking about.

After the four-legged creature explained, Hao Chen was dumbfounded: "You old miser, you didn't even ask for my opinion? I'm not going, you go if you want."

Hao Chen had no desire to get involved in this mess; he'd rather stay at the Deer Man Shop and play with Tianlu.

"If you don't go, you'll only be able to eat dog food from now on." The Qilin was well aware of its own combat strength, so it had no choice but to threaten Haochen.

However, Hao Chen looked at the strange creature and then pointed at the ground. Divine power flowed out, and in a burst of light, two golden bars appeared on the ground.

Hao Chen rolled his eyes at the four-legged creature, then took one and handed it to Tian Lu to eat, while he picked up another one and ate it himself.

The four-legged creature thought: Oh no, Hao Chen can actually turn stones into gold, now we have no leverage against him.

But then the four-legged creature suddenly caught sight of Tianlu beside Haochen and instantly had an idea: "Haochen, if you help me catch Evil Piao, I'll lend you Pipi for three days, how about that?"

"What do you mean by 'a four-legged creature'?"

Seeing that Haochen didn't understand, the four-legged creature explained, "It means that within three days, you can ask Pipi to serve you tea and water, and give you a massage or back rub, how about that?"

Upon hearing the explanation from the four-legged creature, Tianlu was the first to jump out and object: "I protest."

"Protests are futile."

Seeing that the Four-Faced Beast was ignoring him, Tianlu looked at Haochen with a wronged expression: "Haochen, you wouldn't agree to such a perverted condition as the Four-Faced Beast, would you?"

Hao Chen patted Tian Lu on the shoulder, signaling him with his eyes to relax. After seeing Hao Chen's look, Tian Lu looked at the Si Bu Xiang with a smug expression: "Si Bu Xiang, Hao Chen is my good brother. He won't listen to you, right, Hao Chen?"

Unexpectedly, when Tianlu turned around, he saw Haochen pull out a pen from somewhere, and heard Haochen say to the Four-Faced Beast, "Four-Faced Beast, bring me the contract. It is agreed that as long as I bring back that evil spirit, I will have the right to use Tianlu for three days."

"Yes, that's right." The four-legged creature readily prepared a contract and handed it to Hao Chen.

After signing the contract, Hao Chen met Tian Lu's shocked gaze, but Hao Chen was not embarrassed at all: "Tian Lu, don't blame me. Just thinking about having to serve me tea and water for three days makes me so excited."

"Haochen, you and the Four-Faced Beast are both big bastards. All you do is bully me. I'm not going to be friends with you anymore."

Tianlu angrily turned his back to Haochen, sat on the ground, and looked like he was about to break off all ties with Haochen.

Seeing this, Hao Chen wasn't in a hurry. He went straight to Tian Lu's side, took out a few gold bars and waved them in front of him: "Tian Lu, do you want to eat some dog food gold bars?"

As soon as Tianlu saw the gold bars, his eyes were glued to them, and his tail started wagging: "Haochen, give me some to eat."

Under Hao Chen's relentless pressure, Tian Lu quickly reconciled with Hao Chen and agreed to help capture the evil spirit.

After hearing that the Four-Faced Beast had agreed to help, Di Ting handed it a map and said, "Here's the map. I'll trouble you, Boss Four. I'll go back and prepare the payment now."

After saying that, Di Ting carried the newly bought Bai Ze pillow back to the underworld, while the Qilin turned around and threw the map to Hao Chen: "Go, Pi Pi, Hao Chen, it's decided that you two are the ones."

Holding the map given to them by Di Ting, Hao Chen and Tian Lu set off without saying a word. However, unsurprisingly, they got lost after leaving the mountain where the Deer Man Shop was located.

"This map is a total rip-off! Nobody can understand it. At least mark the mountains and rivers! And why is this map supposed to be drawn by Jingwei?"

Hao Chen originally wanted to look at the map to confirm the direction, but unexpectedly, what Di Ting gave him could not be called a map at all. There was only a red dot representing the Deer Man Shop and an X representing the location of Evil Float. The two were connected by only a crooked line.

Upon closer inspection, Hao Chen saw that the signature was Jingwei, and he found it outrageous. He really wanted to grab Di Ting by the neck and ask him: "You, Di Ting from the underworld, asked Jingwei in the mortal world to draw a map. What were you thinking? Even if you were going to ask, you should at least find someone more reliable."

Hao Chen simply threw away the map and said to Tian Lu, "Tian Lu, tell me where we're going next?"

Tianlu pointed to himself (???.???)????: "Ah, Haochen, are you asking me?"

"Yes, Tianlu, I believe you." Haochen didn't miss any opportunity to take advantage of Tianlu, and took the chance to rub Tianlu's head.

Tianlu didn't care about Haochen's actions. He lowered his head and sniffed the ground, then pointed to the path beside him and said, "Haochen, how about we take this path?"

"Okay, let's go then, let's finish the mission as soon as possible."

On the other side, after Hao Chen and Tian Lu left, the Four-Faced Beast checked the time and asked with some doubt, "Huh, didn't the Treasure-Spitting Rat say it was coming today? It should have arrived by now, why hasn't it come yet?"

The Treasure-Spitting Mouse had originally agreed to come to the Deer Man's shop today to help the Four-Faced Beast, but now that the agreed time has passed and the Treasure-Spitting Mouse has not yet appeared, the Four-Faced Beast is a little worried that it may have encountered trouble.

Just as the Qilin wanted to make a call to ask about the Treasure-Spitting Rat, it searched its pockets for a long time but couldn't find its phone. Then it remembered that its phone was still with Hao Chen: "Never mind, I'll have Rabbit Lord buy me a new phone later."
