There is a beast in the bright morning.

The fight between Hao Chen and Zhan Hu didn't last long. Soon, both beasts covered their faces and came out of the room without saying a word.

When Tianlu saw Haochen and Zhanhu come out, he noticed their swollen faces and recalled the sound of something breaking and the way the Qilin angrily walked into the room.

Tianlu couldn't stop laughing: "Hahaha, Haochen, what's wrong with you guys? What happened to your faces? Let me see, I promise I won't laugh."

Upon hearing this, Hao Chen's face turned as black as charcoal: "Tian Lu, please stop laughing before you say that."

However, Hao Chen still tried to sound tough, saying, "It's nothing, I just accidentally fell. I'm going to wash my face."

After saying that, she fled as if she were running away, not wanting Tianlu to see her swollen face again.

At the same time, Hao Chen cursed Zhan Hu in his heart. If Zhan Hu's tail hadn't been so thick and long, and hadn't been swinging around the room, it wouldn't have broken the antique vase that the Qilin cherished.

"What bad luck! Not only did I get kicked twice by the Four-Faced Beast, but I also owe it a hundred years' worth of wages. At this rate, when will I ever be able to pay it off? It's all Zhanhu's fault."

While Haochen was washing his face to calm down, Zhanhu was also rubbing his slightly swollen face in front of the deer shop.

Zhan Hu muttered incessantly, "That wretched Pixiu Hao Chen, we really are incompatible. Meeting you is truly my bad luck."

"First, I couldn't get my Lord's Divine Sword back, then I was injured, and now I'm inexplicably going to work for this deer-man shop owner, the Four-Faced Beast, for a hundred years. I should have killed you back in the Middle Ages."

Meanwhile, the other victim of the vase incident, Si Xiangbu, was staring blankly at the broken pieces on the floor in his room until Rabbit walked in and patted Si Xiangbu on the shoulder, which brought him back to his senses.

"It's alright, it's not a good-looking thing. If you like this vase, I'll buy you a whole truckload of them another day."

Rabbit's words did not cheer up the Four-Faced Beast. It picked up the broken pieces of the vase on the ground, wrapped them in a cloth, and then left the room with the pieces.

Seeing this, Rabbit Lord quickly chased after him: "Four-Legged Beast, trust me, I'll buy you anything you like."

But the only response to Rabbit Lord was the slamming sound of the door closing, which made Rabbit Lord's nose turn bright red.

Rabbit Lord rubbed his nose: "What's wrong with the Four-Unlikes? Is that vase special, or does it have some special meaning for the Four-Unlikes?"

Tianlu stroked his chin and said, "I remember that vase was the first gift that Old Man Jiang gave to the Four-Faced Beast. I didn't expect that the Four-Faced Beast would keep it with him all this time."

Upon hearing Tianlu's explanation, Rabbit fell silent and said nothing more. He quietly returned to his burrow, now realizing that the vase held a significance for the Qilin that he could not obtain through purchase.

And so, the Deer Man Shop fell into an eerie silence. There was no more noise or commotion, not even during dinner. The usual scrambling and fighting over food was gone.

Fortunately, even though the Four-Faced Beast was in a bad mood, it still prepared portions for Hao Chen and Zhan Hu, so the two of them didn't go hungry.

This strange situation was broken when Hao Chen, as usual, went back to the room of the four-legged creature to sleep that night.

Just as Hao Chen jumped onto the bed to sleep, the four-legged creature grabbed him by the back of the neck and lifted him off the bed: "You're not allowed on the bed tonight."

Hao Chen was indignant after hearing what the strange creature said: "Why can't I get on the bed? I've already washed my paws clean, look."

As he spoke, Hao Chen showed the four-legged creature its clean, pink and tender paws.

But the four-legged creature remained expressionless, dragged Haochen outside, and then closed the door.

"You idiot, you're so blinded by lust! Why can Tianlu sleep with you but I can't? Come out here and explain yourself!"

No matter how much Haochen pried open the door, the Qilin didn't appear. Helpless, Haochen had no choice but to go back to his old security room to sleep that night.

Inside the room, Tianlu lay on the soft bed, stretching: "Sibuxiang, are you really not letting Haochen come in to sleep?"

The four-legged creature shook its head: "Hmph, Hao Chen has been a bit too outrageous lately. Let him sober up outside for a while, and we'll talk to him when he realizes his mistake."

Then, the four-legged creature said to Tianlu, "Pipi, no matter how much Haochen begs you, you must not let him in tonight, or you will have to go out and sleep with him in the security room."

"I know, I know, it's a four-legged creature."

Having slept in a large bed, Tianlu was a million times unwilling to sleep in a cramped doghouse. Therefore, without any psychological pressure, Tianlu sold He Haochen.

After tidying up the doghouse, which had been unoccupied for a long time and was covered in dust, Haochen went inside to sleep.

No matter how many sheep Haochen counted, he couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Seeing that it was already past midnight, he thought that the Four-Faced Beast should be asleep, so he tiptoed towards the Four-Faced Beast's room.

"Hmph, you won't let me sleep in here, but I'm going to go in and sleep here anyway."

Upon arriving outside the room of the Four-Unlikes, Hao Chen tried to open the door, only to find it locked from the inside. Helpless, Hao Chen had no choice but to take out his phone and send a message to Tian Lu, asking him to open the door for him.

Hao Chen waited outside for a long time, but Tian Lu didn't get up to open the door: "What's going on? Tian Lu shouldn't be asleep at this hour. He should still be staying up late playing on his phone."

Unconvinced, Hao Chen knocked on the door again and called softly, "Tianlu, are you asleep?"

There was still no movement inside, and Hao Chen finally gave up: "Damn it, am I going to have to sleep in a doghouse tonight? It's all Zhan Hu's fault, um, Zhan Hu!"

Speaking of this, Hao Chen remembered that it was all because Zhan Hu broke the vase that resembled a mythical creature, which made him have to sleep in a doghouse, while Zhan Hu himself could sleep in Rabbit Lord's big bed.

Feeling extremely resentful, Hao Chen immediately turned and walked towards Rabbit Lord's burrow. Tian Lu, who heard Hao Chen leave from inside the room, breathed a sigh of relief and apologized to Hao Chen in his heart. Whether Hao Chen could hear him or not, Tian Lu didn't care; he had already apologized anyway.

"I'm sorry, Haochen. It's not that I didn't want you to come in, it's just that the Sibir wouldn't let me open the door. Otherwise, I would have gone to sleep in the doghouse with you. I think you'll forgive me."

After consoling himself, Tianlu picked up his phone, deleted the message from Haochen asking him to help open the door, and happily stayed up all night again.

Hao Chen ran all the way to Rabbit Lord's house. Because of Zhan Hu's size, Rabbit Lord widened the burrow.

However, there wasn't a suitable front door, so they simply left it uninstalled for the time being. After all, who would be foolish enough to barge into Rabbit Lord's house to make snacks for Zhan Hu? Therefore, Hao Chen easily got in.

Looking at Zhan Hu lying on the oversized Simmons bed, Hao Chen didn't intend to wake him up. Otherwise, given Zhan Hu's temper, the two of them might have started fighting.

Momo climbed onto the bed, crawled under Zhanhu's belly, then pulled Zhanhu's tail and hugged it like a pillow. In this way, Haochen, Rabbit Lord, and Zhanhu squeezed together to sleep.

By the moonlight filtering through the ventilation shaft dug by Rabbit, Hao Chen carefully examined Zhan Hu's sleeping face: "Tsk, Zhan Hu looks really handsome when he's quiet, only slightly less so than me."

And so, Haochen sometimes hugged Zhanhu's tail, sometimes crawled under Zhanhu's belly, sometimes hugged Zhanhu's big head and gently bit Zhanhu's ears, sometimes lay on Zhanhu's back, and sometimes even sucked on Zhanhu's paws. In short, Haochen was unusually restless while sleeping tonight.

The next morning, Rabbit got up from the ground and said, "Strange, I'm usually a very quiet sleeper, why am I sleeping on the ground?"

Completely bewildered, Rabbit Lord had just gotten up from the ground when he saw Zhan Hu and Hao Chen lying sideways on his bed, tightly embracing each other.

Having figured out that he had been kicked out of bed by the two of them, Rabbit immediately took out a megaphone, placed it next to Hao Chen and Zhan Hu's heads, and shouted loudly, "It's dawn, get up!"

The sudden sound startled Hao Chen and Zhan Hu, who jumped out of bed with blank stares and drool dripping from their mouths: "What happened? Was it an earthquake?"

Seeing the two frightened beasts, Rabbit Lord's frustration at being thrown off the bed disappeared. Instead, he pointed at Zhan Hu and said, "Zhan Hu, when did you two become so close?"

Upon hearing Rabbit Lord's words, Zhan Hu looked down at Hao Chen in his arms and saw that he was actually holding Hao Chen in a princess carry.

In an instant, Zhan Hu's cheeks flushed red, like a ripe red apple, and steam seemed to rise from his head: "Who, who's on good terms with me?"

Seeing that Zhan Hu was about to throw him off, Hao Chen seized the opportunity, rubbed against Zhan Hu's chest again, took a deep breath, and then jumped off Zhan Hu.

Just then, Rabbit asked, "By the way, Haochen, how did you end up sleeping in my house?"

Just as Hao Chen was about to answer, the Qilin, carrying a laptop, stormed over angrily: "Hao Chen, shouldn't you explain what's going on with this Deer Man shop? Why are you the owner?"
