There is a beast in the bright morning.

After confirming that he was not dreaming, but had really returned to the past and met the living, breathing Four-Faced Beast, Hao Chen was still a little excited.

Although the ending of the Four-Faced Beast might be a "knife," that doesn't stop Hao Chen from liking it. After all, it's super cute and is known for being bold and kind-hearted.

Hao Chen suddenly thought of something: if he asked to hug Si Bu Xiang, or even sleep with Si Bu Xiang at night, given Si Bu Xiang's personality, it was highly likely that Si Bu Xiang would not refuse his request.

Thinking of this, Hao Chen became excited and had an urge to masturbate the Four-Faced Beast. However, he hesitated when he thought about how he had just made a suggestive gesture towards the Four-Faced Beast in front of the First Qilin and had been taught a lesson by it.

Moreover, with the First Qilin still right in front of him, Hao Chen could only suppress his inner impulse and refrain from attacking the Four-Faced Beast in front of the First Qilin. He had no choice but to act as an obedient Pixiu for the time being.

"Just you wait, Four-Faced Beast. The First Qilin will leave eventually, and then you'll fall into my hands. I can mold you however I want, hehehehe!!!"

After seeing Hao Chen grinning foolishly to himself, Si Bu Xiang felt a wave of fear wash over him and pulled Bi Xie and Tian Lu back. "Little Plum Blossom, be careful. It looks like Daddy broke Little Coal Ball."

Jade Qilin also got up and came to the side of Shi Qilin, scolding, "Why are you still so impulsive? Did you really kick this little guy stupid?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Qilin broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said, "No, don't worry. This little guy looks very strong and shouldn't be so easily broken."

But Shi Qilin, looking at Hao Chen who was still grinning foolishly, was also uneasy. Anxiously, it kept pawing at the ground with its claws, muttering to itself, "Oh no. Could it be such a coincidence? Did I really break it?"

Fortunately, Hao Chen only indulged in his fantasies for a short while before returning to normal. Looking at the pairs of eyes staring at him, Hao Chen asked in confusion, "Why are you all looking at me?"

After recovering, Si Bu Xiang Jian patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Little Coal Ball, I'm glad you're alright."

When Hao Chen heard the Four-Faced Beast call him "Little Coal Ball" again, his pleasant mood was instantly ruined. He roared, "Four-Faced Beast... I'll say it again, I'm not called Little Coal Ball, and look closely, I have the Black Gold Supreme version of fur."

The Four-Faced Beast's eyes dimmed instantly after Hao Chen's shout. It lowered its head and said pitifully, "I know, Little Coal... I'm disliked."

Seeing Sibuxiang looking so aggrieved and on the verge of tears, Haochen suddenly softened: "Fine, fine, call me whatever you want, because you're so cute!"

As soon as Hao Chen finished speaking, Si Bu Xiang looked up in surprise and said, "I knew Little Coal Ball would like the name your brother gave you too."

"I've been tricked!?" Seeing the Four-Faced Beast's appearance, Hao Chen knew perfectly well that he had been fooled. Indeed, the ancients were right; beautiful beasts are the most deceitful.

However, after hearing the nickname "Four-No-Likes" so many times, Hao Chen accepted his nickname "Little Coal Ball" and no longer found it unpleasant.

Of course, this nickname can only be used by the four of them, maybe with the addition of Bixie and Tianlu! Haochen looked at Bixie and Tianlu beside him and thought to himself.

Then, Hao Chen walked over to Bi Xie and Tian Lu, and said to Tian Lu, "Tian Lu, my name is Hao Chen. I'm sorry about what happened just now."

Tianlu has always been an optimist, both in the past and in the future. Seeing that Haochen's apology was acceptable, he said, "Never mind, I forgive you."

After saying that, Tianlu curiously circled around Haochen, looking at him intently: "Haochen, are you also a Pixiu?"

Hao Chen nodded, but he didn't hide his origins. Instead, he said frankly, "Yes, I am indeed a Pixiu, but I come from the future, probably several thousand years from now."

Upon hearing Hao Chen's words, the First Qilin and the Jade Qilin, who were watching from the side, were instantly shocked. They had never expected that Hao Chen came from so far back.

So, after bidding farewell to everyone, Shi Qilin and Yu Qilin went into the cave to discuss Hao Chen's matter.

"How long is that?" Tianlu, who had little understanding of time, asked, biting his paw. He thought for a long time but couldn't recall how long several thousand years was.

After pondering for a moment, Bixie asked, "Then, Haochen, how did you arrive at our point in time?"

Upon hearing the question about warding off evil, Hao Chen immediately understood that there seemed to be a problem with the Divine Mark Purple Gold given by the Little Fire Dragon.

There must be something else within the Divine Mark Purple Gold, otherwise he wouldn't have come directly to this time period.

After Hao Chen figured it out, he instantly flew into a rage: "It's all that stinky lizard's fault! When I get back, I'm going to beat his ass to a pulp to vent my anger!"

Sibuxiang, Bixie, and Tianlu were unaware of what Haochen meant by the lizard, but since Haochen didn't want to talk about it, they didn't press him further.

At this moment, the four-faced creature said, "Alright, little coal ball, are you hungry? Do you want to come and eat something?"

Hao Chen wanted to refuse, but his stomach started growling uncontrollably. Before Hao Chen could speak, Si Bu Xiang shoved him to a pile of gold.

"Little plum blossom, little blue circle, little coal ball, eat up! After you're full, we can play games together."

Hao Chen looked at the pile of gold and originally wanted to eat first, but then he suddenly thought of a problem: Wait a minute, how am I going to get back?

It's no wonder Hao Chen wants to go back. After all, he's a well-known beast in the Deer Man Shop and has accumulated a fortune. If he doesn't go back for too long, that money will become ownerless.

Hao Chen was already picturing in his mind the Qilin taking his money for itself and Tianlu eating the treasures he had painstakingly collected.

"Sigh, whatever, I don't even know when I'll be able to go back. There's no point in thinking about it too much. Maybe I'll still be alive in the Deer Man Shop era."

After shaking off those miscellaneous thoughts, Hao Chen took the gold from the Si Bu Xiang family and started eating it.

When Tianlu had almost finished eating, he suddenly remembered the topic he had just discussed with Si Buxiang and asked, "Si Buxiang, you just said that if two Qilin are together, they can give birth to another Qilin?"

Si Bu Xiang nodded: "That's right, I was born of my father and mother."

"Oh, I see!" Tianlu's eyes darted around, as if he had thought of something.

Upon seeing this, Hao Chen immediately recalled Tian Lu's outrageous remarks in the comic. Seeing that he was very close to Tian Lu and fearing that he would be affected, Hao Chen quickly spoke up to stop Tian Lu from saying things he shouldn't have.

However, Hao Chen was clearly a step too late when Tian Lu said, "If I'm with Bi Xie, will we be able to give birth to another Pi... Xiu... Xiu..."

Unfortunately, some things cannot be said carelessly, or you will be punished by the heavens. Before Tianlu could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck Tianlu directly.

In an instant, Tianlu was filled with the smell of burning, but he clearly couldn't understand why he had been struck by lightning.

Seeing this, Bixie was about to step forward to check if Tianlu was injured when Haochen stopped him: "Bixie, don't worry, Tianlu is fine. This is a good opportunity for Tianlu to learn a lesson and know what he should and shouldn't say."

Just as Hao Chen was about to remind Tian Lu to stop while he was ahead and not to talk nonsense anymore, Tian Lu began his own experiment.

Tianlu cautiously said to the sky, "The Four Unlikes and the Evil-Repelling Beast can lay eggs together."

After saying this, Tianlu observed the situation and, seeing that there was no change in the sky, became somewhat excited and continued, "Tianlu and the Four-Unlikes can lay eggs together."

After saying that, Tianlu looked at the sky again and, finding that nothing had changed, continued, "Then Haochen can lay eggs with the Four-Unlikes!"

Upon hearing Tianlu's words, Haochen protested, "Tianlu, just say what you want to say, don't drag me into this."

Although the Four-Faced Beast is handsome and cute, and Bixie and Tianlu are also furry, even the Four-Faced Beast, Rabbit Lord, War Tiger, Walnut, and the mythical beasts in the Deer Man Shop later all fit Haochen's aesthetic.

But Hao Chen's soul and cognition are still human, so he can treat the furry creatures like the Four-Faced Beast and the Evil-Repelling Heavenly Beast as friends without any reservations.

But as for being partners, Hao Chen still can't get over that mental hurdle; he's not Third Brother. (Future Hao Chen: Despises Third Brother, Understands Third Brother, Becomes Third Brother, Surpasses Third Brother.)

However, Tianlu was currently trying to figure out why the heavens had struck him down, and had no time to pay attention to Haochen's dissatisfaction.

Seeing that he had said so much but Heaven still hadn't responded, Tianlu tried again, saying, "That Tianlu wards off evil..."

Before Tianlu could finish speaking, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder roared, as if to prevent Tianlu from speaking his mind.

But Tianlu is a beast, so naturally it wouldn't obediently submit. Tianlu steeled its heart and said quickly, disregarding its own life, "Bixie and Tianlu can lay eggs together."

As soon as Tianlu finished speaking, the heavens seemed to be enraged, and four or five bolts of lightning as thick as an arm struck down on Tianlu.

Hahaha!

Tianlu was instantly cleaved into a charcoal-black mass, yet he still stubbornly insisted, "Why?! Bixie and Tianlu can't lay eggs."

As the father of many divine beasts, the heavens were furious with Tianlu, this unfilial son, and seemed to want to strike him with a few more bolts of lightning. However, seeing that Tianlu seemed a little pitiful, they dispersed the thunderclouds in the sky.

Tianlu looked at the sky and suddenly said unhappily, "The Heavenly Dao is a stingy thing."

"Snapped!"

As soon as Tianlu finished speaking, a hair-thin blade suddenly cleaved down, knocking the heavily injured Tianlu unconscious.

"Tianlu, are you alright?" Seeing that Tianlu had fainted, Bixie rushed to Tianlu's side anxiously.

Si Bu Xiang walked forward unhurriedly and said, "Little Plum Blossom is fine. As long as Little Blue Circle drinks my saliva, he will be fine immediately."

Just as the Four-Faced Beast was about to feed the Tianlu Qilin some saliva, Hao Chen suddenly stepped forward and asked, "Four-Faced Beast, what does your saliva taste like? Let me have a taste!"

Four-Unlikes: "..."
