Hao Chen and his team spent a lot of time finally cleaning up the Deer Man Shop.

When Hao Chen looked up, he realized it was already evening, and he couldn't help but complain, "Four-Legged Beast, don't call me next time you're cleaning, I'm exhausted."

Just then, a burst of noisy chirping birds came from the doorway.

Upon hearing this sound, the Qilin instantly beamed with joy, as if a major client had arrived.

Rabbit God, standing nearby, also exclaimed, "Oh, they're here!"

Upon hearing the bird calls, Hao Chen finally confirmed that the creature that had come to the Deer Man's shop was none other than the Phoenix, a national idol in the world of mythical beasts.

It is said that the phoenix was born noble and beautiful. Of course, this is just hearsay, and Hao Chen does not know if it is true. However, even if the rumor is wrong, the phoenix's fame is real. The divine beasts that follow the phoenix can be said to stretch from the ground to the sky.

Thinking of this, Hao Chen tugged at the Qilin's cloak and said with some dissatisfaction, "Qilin, the Phoenix is ​​coming to do something so big, why didn't you tell me?"

Seeing Hao Chen's longing gaze, the Qilin asked curiously, "What, Hao Chen, are you also a fan of the Phoenix?"

However, Hao Chen shook his head: "No, it's just that if the Phoenix were to hold a concert at the Deer Man's shop, there would definitely be a lot of audience members coming. If you had told me earlier, I could have made some preparations and made a good profit."

At this point, Hao Chen's eyes were filled with the shapes of small coins, and he discussed with the Four-Faced Beast how to become a scalper and sell tickets, or sell phoenix fans and phoenix-related products.

Seeing Hao Chen's expression, the Qilin rolled its eyes and said speechlessly, "Go away, the Phoenix has its own management company. If you dare to play tricks on tickets or Phoenix merchandise, be careful they will sue you."

However, Hao Chen didn't care about the strange creature. He was joking. He was super brave. Why would he be afraid of being sued? If anyone dared to sue him, he would take advantage of the darkness and beat them up. He wanted to see who would dare to sue him.

Rabbit Lord, who was standing to the side, naturally heard Hao Chen and the Four-Faced Beast's conversation and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Then Rabbit Lord explained to Hao Chen, "Hao Chen, this Phoenix concert was held at the Deer Man's shop. Do you think it's possible that what you're talking about is all being done by the Four-Unlikes? If you follow suit, how will my Four-Unlikes make money?"

"You're so talkative." The four-legged creature glanced at the rabbit, instantly silencing the rabbit from saying anything more.

Hao Chen scratched his ear in disbelief, wondering what he had just heard: "So you had already prepared for this, no wonder you stopped me from selling it?"

The four-legged creature, not embarrassed by Hao Chen's gaze, rubbed Hao Chen's head and said, "Alright, alright, I don't know what you need so much money for?"

After thinking it over, Si Bu Xiang also felt that it was better to guide than to block. He should find something for Hao Chen to do, otherwise, given Hao Chen's personality, he might take the initiative to steal his business.

Then, remembering the strange metal he had scavenged from Hao Chen a few days ago, the Qilin said, "Here's what we'll do: you'll be in charge of patrolling during this concert to make sure no one causes trouble. If you do a good job, I'll prepare a big red envelope for you, the kind with treasures inside!"

Hao Chen rolled his eyes at the four-legged creature: "Four-legged creature, I'm not a dog!"

"Haochen, are you going to do it or not? If you don't, I'll give this treasure to Pipi."

"Go ahead and do it! Who said I wouldn't?" Hao Chen said, head held high. Anyone who wouldn't take such a treasure would be a fool. At the same time, he kept telling himself: This is a security guard! This is a security guard! This is a security guard!

Beside Hao Chen, Tianlu, who had been listless, suddenly perked up when he heard the four-legged creature mention treasure. He kept circling around the four-legged creature, blinking his big eyes at it.

"Baby?! I'll do it, let me do it. You, the four-legged creature, will patrol with Haochen too."

Tianlu, unable to contain his adorable antics, had no choice but to agree: "Alright, alright, I agree."

Seeing that the Four-Unlikes had agreed, Tianlu happily patted his chest and assured him, "Four-Unlikes, just get your red envelopes ready. With me here, no one will dare to cause trouble."

Just as Hao Ri and the Four-Unlikes were talking, a flock of birds carrying paulownia leaves in their beaks flew into the Deer Man's shop.

Then the birds spread the phoenix leaves on the ground, forming a path of phoenix leaves. When the Qilin and the Rabbit saw this, they knew that the Phoenix had arrived, so they clapped and welcomed it, saying, "Welcome to our humble abode. We have been waiting for you for a long time."

Seeing such a large commotion, Tianlu was somewhat puzzled: "What is this strange creature?! Why are you making such a fuss?"

Hao Chen was speechless. It turned out that Tian Lu hadn't listened to a word of what they were saying, but had only heard about the treasure. However, Hao Chen still explained to Tian Lu, "Tian Lu, it's a phoenix, a beautiful and noble bird."

Upon hearing Haochen's description, Tianlu's mouth watered: "Noble!!!"

The next moment, a colorful figure, trailing a long, long, long tail, descended from the sky and landed on the ground covered with sycamore leaves.

Phoenix's melodious voice rang out: "Long time no see, Fourth Boss. I'm sorry to bother you again."

The moment Hao Chen saw the phoenix, a description of it suddenly came to mind: The phoenix, with five-colored plumage, is noble by nature. It will not perch except on the parasol tree, it will not eat except the fruit of the lotus, and it will not drink except from the sweet spring.

In that instant, Haochen saw what beauty and nobility truly meant. If he could collect even a tiny fraction of the phoenix's feathers, that would be absolutely wonderful. Whether he kept them for himself or sold them for money, it would be a sure-fire way to make a profit.

Tianlu, seeing everyone circling around the phoenix, even Haochen, grew somewhat unhappy. He had never received such enthusiastic hospitality before. (Aside from the mud-covered humans.)

Tianlu muttered to himself, "What phoenix? I thought it was something special, but it's just a pretentious five-colored bird."

An assistant bird was spreading paulownia leaves in front of the phoenix, while the phoenix walked along and said, "Fourth Boss, is the bamboo rice ready?"

The Four-Unlikes knew the Phoenix's preferences, and besides, they had cooperated before, so the Four-Unlikes was naturally prepared in advance: "Alright, alright, I'm waiting for you to inspect the goods inside."

After hearing this, Fenghuang said gratefully, "I'm always so grateful to you, boss."

"Not at all, Lord Phoenix, you're too kind. By the way, why is the concert so late this year? Didn't it usually start much earlier?"

Like phoenixes soaring together, their harmonious cries ringing out. As a national idol, Phoenix holds a concert every year.

However, this year's concert is much later than last year's, which is why the four-legged creature has this question.

Meanwhile, Phoenix's agent, Pigeon, upon hearing the question from the Four-Faced Beast, stretched out its wings to block it before Phoenix could speak: "Fourth Boss, this involves our trade secrets, please do not inquire."

The four-legged creature was somewhat surprised, but still nodded: "Okay, I understand."

However, Phoenix flapped its wings at the agent pigeon and said, "Alright, it's not like it's something that can't be said."

Then Phoenix explained, "Sigh, Fourth Boss, I won't hide it from you anymore. Here's what happened: recently, a golden-winged roc with jet-black fur has been causing trouble at my concerts, forcing me to end them early..."

After Phoenix's explanation, the four unlikes finally understood why Phoenix's concert was so late this year and why she chose to hold it at the Deer Man's shop.

It turns out that every time Phoenix holds a concert this year, it is harassed by the Golden-Winged Roc, which is also a divine bird and has extremely strong fighting power, causing the concert to end unhappily.

To deal with this situation, Phoenix decided to hold the concert at the Deer Man Shop, which has the most mythical beasts.

However, after listening to the Phoenix's explanation, Hao Chen fell into deep thought. If he remembered correctly, this Golden-Winged Roc should be the eldest son of the Phoenix and Phoenix after they were cursed by heaven and earth.

Although the two separated due to some accidents, and Golden-Winged Roc later formed his own heavy metal band, which was a competitor of Phoenix, their relationship shouldn't be this bad.

More importantly, the Golden-Winged Roc is not black. Could it be that it was dyed black, or did something happen to the Golden-Winged Roc?

Just as Hao Chen was still pondering, he suddenly felt someone shaking his body. He came to his senses and found that all the beasts were staring at him, which made Hao Chen a little nervous: "W-what's wrong?"

Tianlu: "What are you thinking about, Haochen? I've called you several times and you haven't responded. Are you thinking about something delicious?"

Hao Chen rolled his eyes: "Do you think everyone is as gluttonous as you?"

Seeing that Hao Chen had come to his senses, the Qilin said to the Phoenix, "Don't worry, my staff will be in charge of security for this concert, right, Hao Chen?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Hao Chen sighed. It seems that this family will fall apart sooner or later without me.

During the conversation, Phoenix's team and Rabbit had already finished styling Phoenix. Upon seeing this, Agent Pigeon said, "Phoenix, it's almost time for you to make your appearance."

Phoenix nodded: "Mm."

"Wow!!!"

Just as Phoenix was about to make its appearance, a sharp, piercing cry suddenly came from outside the Deer Man's shop, followed by the sound of chickens and dogs running wildly, as if Phoenix's fans were frantically fleeing for their lives.

The broker was shocked and frowned as he looked at the four-legged creature: "Fourth Boss, the Golden-Winged Roc is here again. It's up to you now."

Just then, Taotie rolled in through the door, looking disheveled. As soon as he entered the deer-man shop, he shouted, "Haochen, something terrible has happened! Your little cat has been snatched away by a black monkey!"
