There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 55 The Dark Night Returns

With a creak, the door to the last room opened unexpectedly, and Tianlu's figure slowly appeared in the darkness.

Then, as if controlled, the lights turned on on their own, dispelling the darkness and allowing Tianlu to see the statues in the room clearly.

"Who is this? Why does he look so much like me? But he's red, and his markings look like a flower. Is he also a Pixiu?"

The first thing Tianlu saw was the statue of Bixie, and he was immediately captivated by it.

The statue of the warding-off-evil beast has a cold yet gentle gaze; its broken ears show that the beast has been injured in the past.

Although it was just a statue, when Tianlu saw it, he suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart, and tears involuntarily streamed down his face.

"Why does my heart ache so much? Who is he? I want to cry so badly~"

Unconsciously, Tianlu leaned against the statue, his mind replaying past memories. A beastly figure, bound by chains, slowly emerged in his mind.

"Pull out evil spirits... My head hurts so much!"

Suddenly, just as Tianlu was about to recall the memories that had been sealed in his heart, the Pixiu Heart Lock set up by the Heavenly Court was activated, causing Tianlu to suffer a splitting headache and faint on the spot.

Just as Tianlu was about to close his eyes, he seemed to see a white beast appear beside Bixie, a Qilin without a mask.

"Bixie, Qibuxiang, you've come looking for Tianlu..."

Bang~

To prevent Tianlu from recalling his sealed memories, the Pixiu Heart Lock relentlessly tormented him, causing him excruciating headaches whenever he thought of information about Bixie and the Four Unlikes. Eventually, Tianlu fainted.

In the void, Dark Night silently watched all this, the divine light in his hand slowly dissipating, and he muttered, "The Heavenly Court does have some things, it's a pity that if I wasn't afraid of revealing my aura and being discovered by those guys, I would definitely make sure that Daozi's friend regains his memories."

At this moment, An Ye sensed Hao Chen's aura approaching and disappeared into the depths of the void.

After An Ye left, Hao Chen appeared beside Tian Lu. Seeing the unconscious Tian Lu, Hao Chen didn't say much. He flashed into human form and picked up Tian Lu.

"Silly boy, I told you not to come in, but you wouldn't listen. Now you're suffering the consequences." Hao Chen gently pinched Tian Lu's nose as if feeling sorry for him.

Hao Chen just couldn't understand why Tian Lu fainted after only seeing the statues of Bixie and Sibuxiang. This became an unsolved mystery in Hao Chen's mind.

Then Hao Chen looked at the statues of Bixie and Qibuxiang in the room, raised his hand and summoned his brick magic weapon.

The black bricks hovered in mid-air, passing over the statues of the Bixie and the Qilin, emitting a strange suction force that drew the statues into the bricks.

"It seems you're not ready to show yourselves yet, but I'll make sure you appear openly and honestly soon, whether you live or die," Hao Chen muttered to himself after putting the brick away.

"Let's go find the Four-Faced Beast and the others first. I wonder if the Four-Faced Beast will be angry after seeing Rabbit Lord's collection. I'm actually looking forward to it."

"Speaking of which, Tianlu is really heavy. How much has he eaten?"

As Hao Chen left the room, he subconsciously glanced at the space where An Ye was: "Is it just my imagination? I have this feeling that I'm being watched!"

After Haochen left, An Ye's figure reappeared in the room, silently watching the direction Haochen had left in.

"What happened to Daozi's strength? Last time when he dealt with those weeds, he seemed to have at least the strength of a fifth-level Heavenly Emperor. How did he drop to the third-level Heavenly Saint Realm now?"

An Ye was dissatisfied that Hao Chen's strength had not improved for so long. He wondered if he hadn't put enough pressure on him and even considered sending Hao Chen back to the era when ancient beasts roamed.

Hao Chen had no idea what An Ye was thinking, otherwise he probably would have smashed him with a brick without thinking. He was already very satisfied with the peaceful life he had now, and he could pet the furry creature every day. He didn't want to go back to the past and live a life of uncertainty.

On the other side, Rabbit Lord, seeing that he couldn't stop the Four-Faced Beast from going to his house, stopped trying and instead became a tour guide. However, just like Hao Chen thought, the Four-Faced Beast and the others wouldn't discover his secret room.

Led by the Rabbit God, the Four-Unlikes, the Listening Bird, the Golden Horn and Silver Horn, and the Taotie all entered the Rabbit God's underground home.

Only Totoro was stuck outside because of its size, and Neko-Dragon didn't go in either, because it wanted to stay with its brother.

At this moment, Zhan Hu walked over and said, "Excuse me, could you move aside?"

"Mimi mimi!"

"Zhanhu, my brother said he can't get in, so you can't either."

Unexpectedly, Zhanhu shrunk his body to the size of a little white cat and successfully passed through the burrow into Rabbit Lord's house.

"How annoying! It can actually make you grow bigger and smaller." Cat Dragon looked envious. He should have just learned this magic spell to make himself grow bigger and smaller.

Just then, Hao Chen carried Tian Lu over and saw Mao Long and Long Mao outside Rabbit Lord's house. He asked curiously, "Mao Long, what are you two brothers doing outside? Don't you want to go to Rabbit Lord's house?"

The cat-dragon turned around and realized it was someone it didn't recognize, so it quickly shielded the tortoise in front of it, saying, "Who are you? What do you want? My brother is very powerful."

"Mimi mimi mimi! (That's right, we brothers are the heirs of the Dragon Palace, descendants of dragons, are you scared?)"

Hao Chen: "..."

"Bang!" "Bang!"

After rewarding the two cats, Maolong and Longmao, with a roasted chestnut, they realized that the person was actually Haochen, but Maolong felt a little aggrieved.

"Haochen, you're clearly trying to get revenge on us. Otherwise, you could just say you're Haochen."

Hao Chen had no intention of continuing the conversation with Mao Long on this topic, and asked again, "Aren't you going to Rabbit Lord's house?"

Maolong explained, "My brother is too big to fit."

After saying that, Maolong looked at Haochen with a pleading expression. He asked if Haochen could take them in. However, after asking, Haochen jumped into Rabbit Lord's burrow right before Maolong's incredulous eyes.

"Then you guys wait outside, Tianlu and I will go in first."

Maolong called out from outside, "Wait for Haochen, take me and my brother with you!"

Hao Chen ignored Mao Long and the others. As soon as he went in, Tian Lu, whom he was holding, woke up. As soon as Tian Lu opened his eyes, he saw a mud figure hugging him and immediately got angry.

"Let me go, you wretched mud man."

"boom!"

Another sharp rap struck him, and Tianlu instantly fell silent, clutching the bump on his head, looking at Haochen with teary eyes: "Haochen, you hit me, I'm not going to be friends with you anymore, hmph."

"One gold bar... two, three, five, no more."

"make a deal!"

Tempted by the gold bar, everything else became trivial. Tianlu happily accepted the gold bar from Haochen, and instantly felt that the roasted chestnuts from earlier didn't hurt anymore.

At this moment, Hao Chen tentatively asked, "Tianlu, how come you fell asleep?"

Tianlu thought for a moment, but couldn't come up with anything, so he said, "I don't know either, maybe I'm just too sleepy."

"So, did you see anything?"

Tianlu recalled, "It's like I saw a strange beast. When I saw it, my heart ached so much. Haochen, what's wrong with me?"

Hao Chen fell silent, sighing inwardly. It seemed that the Heart Lock was intentionally or unintentionally affecting Tian Lu's memories. What a nuisance. He wondered how to break it.

At this moment, Tianlu said again, "By the way, I think I also saw a Qilin, and it wasn't wearing a mask on its face."

A mask?! Hao Chen suddenly realized a possibility: perhaps the mask was the embodiment of the Pixiu Heart Lock.

"Looks like I'll have to plan this carefully." Hao Chen secretly plotted how to remove the mask from the Four-Faced Beast without harming it or letting it know.

"Forget it, let's not think about it too much. Tianlu, let's go find the Qilin first."

To avoid arousing suspicion from the Qilin and the others, Hao Chen transformed back into a Pixiu and headed towards the Rabbit Lord's house with Tian Lu.

Meanwhile, under Rabbit Lord's guidance, the Qilin (a mythical creature) saw his Qilin-related merchandise.

The sudden sense of shame made the Qilin unable to look at its surroundings, but the Diting were watching with great interest.

After visiting the Rabbit God's four-legged creature merchandise, Di Ting compared it with Hao Chen's collection and felt that although Hao Chen's was beautiful, Rabbit God's seemed more interesting.

"If these were Mr. Bai Ze's merchandise, wouldn't they sell like hotcakes in the Underworld?!" Di Ting thought it was a good opportunity and planned to collaborate with Rabbit Lord to release a set of Bai Ze merchandise. Not only could he collect it himself, but he could also sell it in the Underworld.

Rabbit God held the carousel around the four-legged creature and asked, "So, four-legged creature, do you like the merchandise I made for you?"

Just then, Hao Chen's voice came over: "Hey Rabbit, what else? I remember you have even more exciting Qilin merchandise!"
