There is a beast in the bright morning.

In front of the Deer Man Shop, Bai Chen lay on the grass basking in the sun. It had been three days since they returned from the world of competitive sports.

"Ha~ Uncle Longshan, when do you think Mother is coming back? I miss her terribly."

Upon hearing Bai Chen's words, Long Shan transformed into a small black dragon about the length of a finger and appeared beside Bai Chen: "Young Master, I think you don't miss your master, but are worried about him finding out that you stole the treasure he hid."

Bai Chen, whose thoughts had been exposed, was not angry. He smiled sheepishly at Long Shan and said, "Uncle Long Shan, if Mother beats me, you won't escape either."

"..." Upon hearing this, Long Shan was immediately speechless, and without saying a word, he returned to Bai Chen's sea of ​​consciousness with a dark face.

It's fair to say that Bai Chen made a great contribution by knowing where Hao Chen hid his things.

Because of him, Bai Chen was born with congenital deficiencies, so Long Shan set his sights on the treasures collected by Hao Chen.

The treasures from three entire warehouses were used to barely make up for Bai Chen's congenital problem, but this also attracted Bai Chen's attention.

After Bai Chen persistently pleaded with him, Long Shan finally told Bai Chen the locations of Hao Chen's other warehouses.

So, in the three days since his return, Bai Chen has been like an ant carrying food, moving all the contents of two of the warehouses into his own stomach, claiming that he wants to protect his mother's precious treasures.

"Ugh, I'm so bored. Maybe I should go find some more food to eat."

As Bai Chen was pondering this, he suddenly saw his father, Zhan Hu, arrive with walnuts. He quickly stood up and greeted him, "Father, what brings you here?"

"Ahem... let me introduce you, son." Zhanhu pointed to Walnut beside him: "His name is Walnut, you've met him before..."

"Hehe, Father, I know, he's your godson!" Before Zhan Hu could finish speaking, Bai Chen interrupted him.

Then, looking excited, she ran to Walnut's side, sniffing him incessantly: "This is the smell of a pretty boy? Nothing special about it."

As for Walnut, when Bai Chen's hot breath blew onto his ear, it immediately made his ear feel very uncomfortable.

But he felt a little guilty towards Bai Chen, after all, Bai Chen had almost been eaten by him back then.

Furthermore, as felines, they all like to obtain information through smell, so Bai Chen's actions were not surprising to Walnut.

Seeing Bai Chen's actions, Zhan Hu couldn't help but wonder if his son had a serious illness. Otherwise, why would he hug and smell the other person the moment they met?

But the next moment, Zhanhu suddenly thought of another question: Could it be that his son likes walnuts?

"No, Walnut already has someone she likes. My son can't be a third party."

Zhan Hu shook his head frantically, grabbed Bai Chen's tail, and pulled him away from Walnut: "Son, you can't do this!"

"???" Bai Chen tilted his head and looked at Zhan Hu in confusion: "Dad, what are you talking about? I was just smelling the pretty boy's scent."

"Pretty boy?" Walnut pointed to himself, looking puzzled. "My name is Walnut, not Pretty Boy!"

"Almost there!"

Bai Chen didn't explain much, just casually brushed off the topic, and then looked at Zhan Hu: "By the way, Father, is there something you need from me?"

When Bai Chen asked him this, Zhan Hu slapped his forehead and remembered the purpose of his visit: "Son, your dad has some things to take care of, so let Walnut play with you for a while."

"That's it?!"

"Okay, I get it."

Bai Chen's calm reaction surprised Zhan Hu. But it was for the best; it saved him the time of coaxing the child.

However, before Zhan Hu could leave, he saw Bai Chen whispering to He Tao.

"Walnut, I bet my dad went out to play with your uncle and left us behind because he thought we were in the way."

"Oh, I see. Uncle is so mean, he didn't bring Walnuts." Walnuts looked like he suddenly understood.

But the glint in his eyes betrayed him; clearly, Walnut knew better than anyone else, but was pretending not to know anything for safety's sake.

The result was obvious: Walnut was fine, but Bai Chen was scolded by Zhan Hu, who had rushed back, and was grimacing as he covered the bump on his forehead.

"Walnut, I treated you like a friend, and you didn't even warn me when my father was behind me."

Faced with Bai Chen's dissatisfaction, Walnut was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she naturally skipped the topic: "Bai Chen, my godfather told me to take good care of you. Today I will take you to meet Mei Mei and Xiang Tai. They are the second smartest foxes Walnut has ever met."

Upon hearing Walnut's words, Bai Chen subconsciously asked, "They're second?! Then who's first?"

However, the next moment, Bai Chen realized that he had been a bit stupid. The answer to this question was obvious. Besides Fu Zai, which other fox could be ranked number one in Walnut's heart?

And just as Bai Chen had expected, whenever he had the chance, Walnut would immediately start praising his other fox friend, Fu Zai, as if he were praising himself.

In the end, Walnut couldn't help but complain, "Although I can see Fuzai in my dreams, I still want to see Fuzai in reality. I wish Fuzai could come to find me."

"Walnut, why does it have to be Fu-zai who comes to find you? Can't you go and play with Fu-zai?"

Walnut was visibly taken aback when he heard Bai Chen's words, clearly having never considered this question before.

Walnut quickly came to her senses and clenched her paws: "Bai Chen, you're right. Walnut can go find Fuzi and give him a surprise."

Bai Chen was unaware that his unintentional words had been remembered by Walnut, foreshadowing his later attempt to smuggle himself out to find Fuzai. Of course, that's a story for another time.

Soon, led by Walnut, Bai Chen met Mei Mei and Xiang Tai.

Through Walnut's introduction, Meimei and Xiangtai learned that Bai Chen was not only Zhanhu and Haochen's son, but also came from the future.

Meimei is very interested in the future and keeps asking about what her future self will be like.

However, Bai Chen remained silent on the matter, stating bluntly that revealing heavenly secrets would not only bring him retribution, but would also implicate Meimei. This immediately frightened Meimei, who dared not ask any further questions.

Then Meimei noticed Bai Chen's appearance as a white tiger and couldn't help but wonder, "Bai Chen, since you are Hao Chen's son, why don't you look like Hao Chen?"

In response, Bai Chen explained that he took after his father, Zhan Hu.

Seeing that Meimei wanted to ask more, Bai Chen quickly interrupted, "Alright, now what are we going to do? What are your thoughts?"

"This..." Walnut, Meimei, and Shota pondered upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Bai Chen smiled and said, "Well, since you don't know what to do, why don't we go on an adventure? I happen to know the location of a treasure."

Upon hearing this, Walnut and the others all looked at Bai Chen, a hint of eagerness flashing in their eyes.

Seeing that Walnut and the others were captivated, Bai Chen silently apologized to his mother in his heart before preparing to take Walnut and the others on an adventure.

But the next moment, Tianlu suddenly popped out of the bushes and excitedly ran to Bai Chen: "Treasure? Where is the treasure you guys are talking about? Can I have one too?"

Bai Chen was startled by Tianlu's sudden appearance: "Uncle Tianlu, where did you come from?"

At this moment, Tianlu's mind was filled with Bai Chen's search for the treasure, and how could he be left out of such a matter?

Coming to his senses, Bai Chen looked behind Tianlu again and asked in confusion, "Uncle Tianlu, isn't Uncle Bixie here?"

“Bixie, he and the Four-Unlikes went to find the First Qilin and the Jade Qilin.”

After Tianlu explained, Bai Chen realized that the Four Unlikes hadn't seen the First Qilin and the Jade Qilin last time.

So this time, the Four-Faced Beast specially invited the First Qilin and the others to come over, and is now taking the Evil-Repelling Beast to pick them up.

Knowing that Bixie hadn't come, Bai Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Bai Chen was still hesitant to take him to find the treasure, Tianlu gradually became impatient. He thought that if Bai Chen didn't agree to take him, even if Bai Chen was Haochen's son, he would still beat him up to vent his anger.

When Tianlu had this idea, Bai Chen felt a chill run down his spine and quickly looked around, only to meet Tianlu's scrutinizing gaze.

"Uh, if I remember correctly, my uncle doesn't seem to have a very good temper either."

Thinking of this, Bai Chen swallowed hard: "Uncle Tianlu, of course we welcome you to join us."

As he spoke, Bai Chen winked at Walnut, signaling them to say something quickly.

Walnut immediately understood Bai Chen's look and said, "Yeah, yeah."

"That's right, Boss Pipi is so powerful, he can definitely defeat the monster guarding the treasure."

"Yes, we believe in Pipi."

When Tianlu heard Walnut and Meimei praising him like that, he patted his chest and assured them, "Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt you."

Seeing that he had fooled Tianlu, Bai Chen immediately waved his claws and led a group of beasts toward Nanshan.

Shortly after Bai Chen and the others left, Bixie arrived in a hurry with the Four-Unlikes.

But looking at the empty space devoid of any beasts, Bixie frowned: "Where's Tianlu? Didn't I tell him to wait for us here?"

"Don't worry, Little Plum Blossom. Little Blue Circle is so powerful, everything will be alright."

Sibuxiang gently stroked Bixie's head, then pointed in the direction of Nanshan and said, "Let's go look over there. Maybe Little Blue Circle just went to find something to eat."

Meanwhile, at a crossroads leading from the Rainbow Cloud Mountains to the Deer Man's Shop, the First Qilin and the Jade Qilin were squatting by the roadside, waiting for their eldest son to come looking for them.

"Honey, why isn't our eldest son here yet? Has he forgotten?"

"Nonsense, what could be more important than seeing us? Our son is definitely on his way."
