There is a beast in the bright morning.

In the end, Tianlu and Little Fire Dragon couldn't defeat each other.

However, Hao Chen could tell that the little fire dragon obviously knew Tian Lu, so it didn't really intend to fight Tian Lu. It just played around the whole time, and finally pretended to be exhausted and was pinned to the ground by Tian Lu.

Tianlu, standing on the little fire dragon, excitedly said, "How about it, you stinky lizard, are you convinced or not?"

Charmander said helplessly, "Fine, could you please take your foot off my face?"

Hearing that the little fire dragon had submitted to him, Tianlu was very happy and boasted to Haochen, "Haochen, look, aren't I amazing?"

"So cute!" Hao Chen looked at Tian Lu, who was jumping around excitedly, and his paws started to itch again. He had an urge to pet Tian Lu.

Seeing Hao Chen staring at Tian Lu, Little Fire Dragon felt a little helpless: "Sure enough, I knew Big Brother liked this puppy the most. It seems that it was right for me to pretend that I couldn't beat him. Otherwise, if I hurt this puppy, Big Brother would come after me."

The little fire dragon remembered the first time it saw Tianlu, the puppy, clinging to its older brother Haochen. Out of anger, it hit Tianlu, which resulted in a double beating from Haochen and Bixie.

However, at this moment, Little Fire Dragon suddenly noticed something strange: he had been arguing with Tianlu for so long, but Bixie had not appeared.

You see, Bixie cares a lot about Tianlu, so much so that he won't allow anyone other than himself to make Tianlu suffer. He even wants to stay by his younger brother's side all the time, which, in Little Fire Dragon's eyes, is definitely a domineering brother-obsessed brother.

"Why isn't Bixie here? Did something happen to him? And Tianlu doesn't seem to remember me? What happened to me during the years I was in the underworld?" The little fire dragon pondered to himself.

Just then, the little dragon suddenly heard someone calling him, so he came to his senses and found Hao Chen staring straight at him. He touched his bald head and said, "Big brother, is something wrong?"

Hao Chen shook his head: "What? I saw you spacing out and thought Tian Lu had damaged your brain."

Charmander: "..."

"Big brother, you underestimate me too much. With this milk... this Tianlu, as long as I get a little serious, he is no match for me."

Little Fire Dragon originally wanted to say that Tianlu was a puppy, but seeing Tianlu's unfriendly eyes, he immediately changed his mind, saying that he was not afraid of Tianlu.

Moreover, Little Fire Dragon thought that if he called Tianlu "puppy" again, Tianlu would probably throw a tantrum, and then his older brother would have to find a way to make Tianlu happy.

Their relationship will only get better and better, and then I and my older brother will have no chance at all. I'm not stupid, I won't give Tianlu, that little puppy, any chance.

Seeing the little fire dragon lost in thought again, Hao Chen doubted whether the little fire dragon was really okay. Little did he know that the little fire dragon was thinking about how to replace Tianlu in his heart.

"boom!"

Seeing that the little fire dragon hadn't come to his senses for a long time, Hao Chen couldn't help but tap him on the head: "Snap out of it."

After Hao Chen gave it a good whack on the head, Charmander finally snapped out of its daze. However, Hao Chen was met with a resentful look from Charmander, who clutched its undamaged head and said with a pitiful expression, "It hurts so much, big brother, I need to blow on it."

Seeing the little fire dragon's behavior, Tianlu couldn't help but twitch his eye and muttered, "Shameless green tea lizard."

None of those present were human, so they naturally heard Tianlu's complaints. Rabbit Lord and Four-Faced Beast covered their mouths and chuckled. This guy called Little Fire Dragon was really a green tea bitch.

Walnut, with clear yet slightly foolish eyes, tugged at Rabbit's scarf and asked, "Rabbit, what is green tea?"

"This...that...it's just...oh well, Walnut, just don't be like that lizard." Rabbit was a little unsure how to explain the meaning of green tea to Walnut, this little kid.

Walnut, seemingly understanding but not quite, tugged at Fuzai's hand and said, "Fuzai, there's nothing fun here. Why don't you play house with Walnut?"

"Does Walnut want to play house? How about Fuzi be the mom and Walnut be the dad?"

"Okay, okay, Fu-zai, let's go quickly."

Rabbit Lord saw that just after he told Walnut not to imitate Little Fire Dragon, Walnut pulled Fuzai away to play house, with one of them playing the mother and the other the father.

Rabbit was filled with envy watching this; he wished he could play house with the Qilin like this.

Not only was Rabbit Lord envious, but Little Fire Dragon also had some inappropriate thoughts after seeing Walnut's actions.

Seeing that the little fire dragon was about to enter a daze again, Hao Chen quickly said, "Ahem, little fire dragon, it's like this, because Di Ting has something to do and can't come for the time being, so after discussing it with the Four-Faced Beast, you can stay at the Deer Man's Inn for the time being."

"As for how to handle your matter afterward, I will discuss it with Di Ting. Don't cause me any trouble, understand?"

"Brother, is the 'Di Ting' you mentioned a big black dog?"

Hearing what the little fire dragon said, Hao Chen became even more puzzled about its origins. Not only did it know Tian Lu, but it also knew Di Ting. It seemed that its origins must be extraordinary. He should find an opportunity to have a chat with the little fire dragon.

Hao Chen nodded: "Speaking of which, since you know Di Ting, how come you're still imprisoned in the underworld?"

The little fire dragon said somewhat helplessly, "As for Di Ting, I'm quite familiar with him, you could call him a friend. As for being imprisoned in the underworld, it's all my fault for being careless back then. I was ambushed by a man in black, who sealed my divine power, and as a result, I was captured by the Heavenly Court and imprisoned in the underworld."

Hao Chen nodded, indicating his understanding: "The Heavenly Court, then it's not surprising."

Then Hao Chen continued, "And what about that man in black?"

After thinking for a moment, the little dragon's expression turned serious: "I'm not too sure either, but he is very strong. Back then, when I was at full strength, I had already reached the fourth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm, but I was still powerless to fight back. His strength definitely surpasses the fifth level."

"Fifth Heaven?" Hao Chen was a little puzzled. Previously, the Holy Ape King had also used the number of heavens to divide cultivation levels.

Seeing Hao Chen's confusion, the little fire dragon said, "I don't know the specifics either. This classification of realms originated from the Divine Realm..."

As the little fire dragon went on and on, Hao Chen finally understood how these realms were divided.

The more Hao Chen learned, the more shocked he became, because it was actually related to that dark universe.

According to Charmander, the Dark Universe Cultivation Method is divided into ancient and new methods.

The ancient method is a cultivation method that has existed since the beginning of the Dark Universe. It is the set of Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, and Immortal Platform that Hao Chen is familiar with. The pinnacle of the Human Path is also known as the Great Emperor, Ancient Emperor, or Heavenly Venerable.

The new law is said to be because the Dao Child of the Temple disappeared in the Dark Universe, causing internal strife and collapse of the Temple. In order to erase the old history, the new ruler opened up the Divine Realm on the ruins of the Temple and changed the previous realms, dividing them into nine heavens.

The first heaven corresponds to the cycle of the Sea of ​​Wheels to the Dragon Transformation in the ancient method; the second heaven corresponds to the first to third level of the Immortal Platform, the King level; the third heaven corresponds to the fourth to seventh level of the Immortal Platform, the Half-Saint level; the fourth heaven corresponds to the eighth level of the Immortal, the Quasi-Emperor level; and the fifth heaven corresponds to the pinnacle of the Human Path, the Great Emperor level (Ancient Emperor).

As for the realms above the fifth heaven, the little fire dragon said he didn't know either, because those who surpass the fifth heaven must ascend to the divine realm. However, Hao Chen had a rough guess.

Just as Hao Chen was about to ask more questions, the Four-Faced Beast checked the time and stopped Hao Chen and the others: "Alright, it's getting late, let's eat first."

"Eating?! Oh yeah, this strange creature, hurry up and eat, I'm starving."

As soon as Tianlu heard that it was time to eat, he immediately ran to the Four-Faced Beast's side. The Four-Faced Beast, as usual, picked up Tianlu and patted his belly a few times: "Let me see how hungry you are."

Tianlu was really going all out for food, letting the Sibun rub its belly: "Sibun, I want to eat chicken stew with mushrooms."

The four-legged creature said somewhat speechlessly, "Pipi, why do you like chicken stew with mushrooms so much? Didn't we just have it yesterday? Today we're having a tofu feast."

Hearing that there was nothing he wanted to eat, Tianlu seemed a little disappointed. Seeing this, Qilin softened and said, "Alright, Pipi, don't be sad. How about I make you chicken stew with mushrooms tomorrow?"

"Yay, you're the best, you four-legged creature."

"Pipi is actually quite cute like this." The eyes behind the mask of the four unlikes were full of doting affection for Tianlu, which made Rabbit Lord's eyes almost turn red.

Seeing this, the little fire dragon followed suit and ran to Hao Chen's side, spreading its arms and saying, "Big brother, I want a hug and a pat too."

Hao Chen glanced at the little fire dragon, his eyelids twitching involuntarily. If he hadn't been considering that he couldn't beat it, he probably would have punched a few bumps on the little fire dragon's head.

"Are you legless? Walk by yourself."

"Big brother, you're so cold-hearted. You weren't like this before," Longlong said with a sigh.

Then, as if he had thought of something, the little fire dragon suddenly took out a red fruit and handed it to Hao Chen: "Big brother, I'll treat you to a sweet fruit."

Looking at the lewd smile on Charmander's face, Hao Chen found it hard to imagine how the three starter Pokémon could make such an expression.

Although the fruit that the little dragon took out smelled sweet, Hao Chen felt that the little dragon had ill intentions, so he decisively refused, saying, "No need, you can eat it yourself."

Charmander wasn't surprised by this, but just as he was about to put away the fruit, Tianlu suddenly jumped out from the side and snatched the fruit from Charmander's hand.

"What is this? It smells so sweet, it looks delicious!"

The little dragon was startled when it saw Tianlu looking like it wanted to eat: "Wait, you little puppy, put it down right now, this isn't for you to eat."

The little dragon was fine when it didn't talk, but when it did, it acted like a puppy, which made Tianlu so angry that he swallowed the fruit without thinking.

The next moment, Tianlu's eyes widened for a moment, and then his expression towards the little fire dragon was no longer as hostile as before. Instead, he happily took the little fire dragon's paw and said, "Hello, let's be friends. I'll take you to eat something delicious."

The little dragon was a little devastated; he only had one of these fruits left: "...This isn't what I wanted. I wanted my big brother to eat it!"

The four-legged creature, Rabbit Lord: "...What's going on? Didn't Tianlu dislike this green tea lizard?"

Hao Chen looked at the little fire dragon with a half-smile. Sure enough, there was something wrong with the tree fruit. It seemed to be meant to increase goodwill, otherwise Tian Lu wouldn't have been so friendly to the little fire dragon after eating the fruit. Luckily, Tian Lu was there, otherwise he would have been the one to embarrass himself.

"It seems that Little Fire Dragon needs to be taught a lesson, otherwise he might fall into his hands one day without even knowing it," Hao Chen thought to himself.

At this moment, inside Tianlu's belly, a red Pixiu was sleeping. If Haochen were here, he would recognize that the red Pixiu was Tianlu's brother, Bixie. Suddenly, Bixie, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a tree fruit falling from the sky.

Bixie picked up the fruit and looked at it: "Is this fruit for me? But I don't like eating fruit. Could it be that Tianlu wants me to supplement my Vitamin C?"

So Bixie ate the fruit directly, without worrying at all that it might be poisonous.

After eating the fruit that increased favorability, Bixie suddenly felt an urge to see Tianlu: "What's going on? I really want to see Tianlu."

After looking at the trash that had already been tidied up, Bixie thought for a moment and decided to go out to take out the trash tonight and check on how Tianlu was doing.

Judging from the sounds these days, Tianlu seems to be with Sibuxiang (a mythical creature), and Sibuxiang must be taking good care of Tianlu.
