There is a beast in the bright morning.

Seeing that Hao Chen wasn't sleeping, Shi Qilin grew impatient and started yawning repeatedly.

Shi Qilin inwardly grumbled, "Is this little guy crazy? It's so late and he's still not asleep. How can he grow tall and strong if he stays up all night like this!"

Jade Qilin seemed to see through Shi Qilin's thoughts and said, "If he won't sleep, can't you find a way to make him sleep? Stupid."

After being reminded by Yu Qilin, Shi Qilin realized that he didn't necessarily have to stay up all night with Haochen. He scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "Oh right, you're so smart, my wife."

Yu Qilin raised his head and said proudly at a 45-degree angle, "That's right, otherwise how could I be your wife?"

Seeing his wife like this, Shi Qilin couldn't help but snuggle up to Yu Qilin: "Wife, you're the best, come here and give me a kiss!"

"Virtue, business is more important." Jade Qilin rolled its eyes, but still cooperated with Shi Qilin in a French kiss.

After all that commotion, the First Qilin blew a breath into the room of the Four-Faced Beast, instantly putting the unsuspecting Hao Chen to sleep.

Then, Shi Qilin and Yu Qilin used the jade pendant containing Mengji's talent to use their dream-entering skills and successfully entered the dreams of Bixie, Tianlu, and Haochen.

The First Qilin and the Jade Qilin arrived at a dream world filled with gold and jade.

The First Qilin looked at the golden jade covering the mountains and fields in astonishment and said, "This is..."

Upon seeing this, Yu Qilin immediately confirmed, "Can't you tell? Isn't this the dream of that blue Pixiu? Speaking of which, this little guy is really greedy; even in his dreams, he's eating!"

After watching for a while, Shi Qilin said, "Wife, why don't we go see what this little guy is doing now?"

"What else could they be doing? Probably eating. But it's good to see them, after all, they're there to keep our son company." As they spoke, the two Qilins began searching for Tianlu in his dream.

Soon, they saw the happy Tianlu eating and drinking in their dream. Tianlu was eating golden balls with gusto, saying, "Golden balls, so many golden balls, they're all mine, eat them up, eat them up, eat them up!"

After seeing that Tianlu was indeed eating the golden ball, Yuqilin looked at Shiqilin triumphantly, as if to say, "See? I wasn't wrong."

At this moment, Tianlu noticed the First Qilin and the Jade Qilin beside him and asked curiously, "Hey, Father and Mother, what are you doing here?"

When Shi Qilin and Yu Qilin heard Tianlu call them "father" and "mother," they didn't feel awkward at all. Instead, they flanked Tianlu on either side and kept rubbing their faces against him.

"Good son, so good! Call me 'Father' again and let me hear it!"

“Little guy, although you’re not our son, since you’ve started calling us Dad and Mom, you’re now our little brother, Si Bu Xiang. If Si Bu Xiang ever bullies you, just tell us and we’ll teach this unfilial son a lesson.”

Tianlu: "???"

Although Tianlu didn't understand the meaning of the First Qilin and the Jade Qilin, it didn't stop him from eating the golden ball.

Tianlu then invited Shi Qilin and the others: "Father and Mother, would you like to come and eat some golden balls? There are still many here."

Shi Qilin shook his head: "We're not eating anymore. We need to go see what Little Plum Blossom is doing."

As soon as the First Qilin finished speaking, it disappeared from Tianlu's dream along with the Jade Qilin.

Tianlu was only a little curious about why Shi Qilin and the others had suddenly disappeared, but he quickly became engrossed in the joy of destroying the golden spheres.

After leaving Tianlu's dream, the First Qilin and the Jade Qilin entered Bixie's dream.

When Shi Qilin and his companions entered Bixie's dream, they were shocked to find that the dream was filled with evil spirits.

Meanwhile, Bixie was busy hunting down evil spirits: "Strange, no matter how many evil spirits I kill today, I can't seem to finish them all. I can't even eat anymore."

Yu Qilin frowned as she watched Bixie not only kill the evil spirit but also devour it: "Husband, does this little plum blossom usually eat evil spirits?"

Shi Qilin shook his head: "I don't know, but this little guy seems pretty powerful. If he's with my son, he should be able to protect my son's safety."

Jade Qilin slapped the head of the First Qilin and said somewhat angrily, "Is this the time to talk about this? You know what evil spirits are. They're not only hard to digest, but they also have no nutritional value. In fact, eating too many of them can even affect your personality."

As she continued, Yu Qilin charged directly at Bixie, saying, "Stop! You can't eat evil spirits anymore; it's bad for your health."

Hearing the noise, Bixie turned around and saw that it was Sibuxiang's father and mother. He stopped what he was doing and asked, "Sibuxiang's father and mother, what's the matter?"

After hearing Bixie's words, Shi Qilin complained in a voice only he could hear, "They're clearly brothers, so why are Little Plum Blossom and Little Blue Circle so different in personality?"

Yu Qilin held Bixie in her arms with heartache: "Child, you have suffered. From now on, your mother will take good care of you. Don't eat junk food like evil spirits anymore."

(The evil spirit protested: First of all, we are not nutritious; secondly, we are not food, much less junk food; and finally, what did we do to deserve this, being pointed at and criticized right from the start?)

Bixie was speechless upon hearing Yu Qilin's words. Why did Yu Qilin immediately recognize him as her mother? Besides, he often ate evil spirits and never seemed to have any problems.

Yu Qilin didn't know what Bixie was thinking, but seeing his younger brother Tianlu dreaming of eating gold and jade, while his older brother Bixie could only eat junk food like evil spirits and had to hunt them himself, Yu Qilin felt very sorry for him.

So, with the help of the dream power in the Mengji Jade Pendant, the Jade Qilin waved its hand and created a pile of gold and jade: "Little Plum Blossom, this is the normal food that you Pixiu should eat. Eat up, your father and I still need to go see what Little Coal Ball is doing."

Under the gaze of the evil spirit, the First Qilin and the Jade Qilin vanished as starlight.

Bixie looked at the golden ball in its paw and said, "Is this what it feels like to be cared for? It seems pretty good."

So, in the dream, Bixie began to eat gold and jade, and the evil spirits began to decrease.

After leaving the dream of Kai Xie, the First Qilin and the Jade Qilin wanted to see Hao Chen's dream, but they found themselves in a state of chaos.

The First Qilin and the Jade Qilin seemed to have opened up a God's-eye view, as if they were observing Hao Chen's dream from another dimension.

Looking around, everything was empty, with nothing in sight, except for wisps of chaotic energy constantly boiling and churning in the distance, as if something was happening within them.

"Honey, what's going on? Why is Little Coal Ball's dream so chaotic? Or is he not dreaming at all?"

Jade Qilin was also unaware of what was going on, so she did not answer Shi Qilin's question, but instead said, "Be careful, husband. I feel something is wrong, and I'm a little panicked. Should we leave quickly?"

Seeing that Yu Qilin was a little scared, Shi Qilin leaned against her and said, "Don't be afraid, wife. Now that you're here, let's see what's going on and go find Little Coal Ball first."

Seeing that the First Qilin was determined to go its own way, the Jade Qilin had no choice but to follow, flying towards the place where the chaotic energy was churning.

Along the way, the First Qilin and the Jade Qilin discovered that the chaos was not empty, but rather buried by the chaotic energy.

As they flew by, the chaotic energy dispersed to both sides, revealing the corpses inside, including those of dragons, phoenixes, and even unicorns, as well as various powerful divine beasts and exotic creatures.

Even Shi Qilin and the others saw humanoid skeletons among these corpses, only a golden skeleton remained, radiating a dazzling golden light as if it were ancient and immortal.

"Such powerful divinity; this being must have been excessively powerful in its previous life."

“Husband, it’s not just this. None of the corpses here were weak in life. I don’t know how they died.”

The more this was the case, the more unsettled Shi Qilin and the others became. They were increasingly certain that Hao Chen was no ordinary person, and that his arrival across the river of time was orchestrated by someone behind the scenes.

Before Shi Qilin and the others could reach the deepest part of the chaos, a figure shrouded in chaotic energy appeared before them.

"Peeping into other people's dreams is very impolite. Please leave."

Before the First Qilin and the Jade Qilin could react, the mysterious man waved his hand and knocked them out of Hao Chen's dream.

In the real world, the First Qilin and the Jade Qilin suddenly awoke, exchanged a glance, and saw the fear in each other's eyes.

"Honey, who is that person? He's so powerful."

"No matter who it is, they are not people we can mess with. However, they don't seem to have any ill intentions, otherwise we probably wouldn't be able to get out of the dream."

What the First Qilin and the Jade Qilin didn't know was that although Haochen's chaotic dream was surrounded by a vast and chaotic expanse, the center of that chaotic dream was a paradise of birdsong and fragrant flowers.

Hao Chen kept stroking the familiar and cute furry creatures around him, his eyes full of happiness: "Tianlu, Bixie, Sibuxiang, Qibuxiang, Tuye, Hetao, Zhanhu, Nerium, Maomaolei, Panhu, Diting, Baize, and all the furry creatures are mine. You are all mine, and you all have to play with me. No one can take your names away, hehehe."

When Shi Qilin and Yu Qilin realized they couldn't see Hao Chen's dream, they thought they had finally managed to borrow Meng Ji's abilities, so they turned their attention to their eldest son.

"Honey, shall we go see what our son is dreaming about?"

"Okay, whatever you say, honey."

Even in his dreams, the Four-Unlikes still felt lonely and uneasy.

When the Four-Faced Beasts saw that the Bixie, which they had finally managed to trick back, was now flying away on the clouds, they were immediately anxious and kept chasing after it.

"Plum Blossom, where are you going? Didn't you promise to stay with me for 500 years? Don't go, you can't go back on your word."

The First Qilin and the Jade Qilin looked at the Four-Faced Beast in their dream and felt a pang of heartache.

Shi Qilin said, "Wife, why don't we have a younger brother or sister for our son? That way, we won't have to worry about our son's little plum blossom leaving one day."

"Okay, then you'd better do your best, honey." Yu Qilin winked at Shi Qilin.

The First Qilin instantly perked up, no longer caring about his son's dream, and hurriedly left the dream of the Four-Unlikes with the Jade Qilin.

Upon returning to the real world, Shi Qilin immediately set up a soundproofing array in the bedroom, and then began working tirelessly with Yu Qilin to create a baby Qilin.

(The following images are censored; members can view them...)

The Four-Faced Beast suddenly opened its eyes, panting heavily: "Huff, huff..."

"It was just a dream, phew... Don't go, plum blossom, you haven't been with me for 500 years yet, you can't leave."

After realizing he was dreaming, Sibuxiang breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to look at Bixie, who was sleeping in an unsightly position.

After removing Bixie's foot from its face, Sibuxiang carefully hugged Bixie back, holding it tightly in its arms.

However, Sibuxiang's attention was entirely focused on Bixie, and he didn't notice that Tianlu and Haochen were sleeping in even more unsightly positions.

Unbeknownst to them, Tianlu and Haochen had fallen asleep and rolled to the foot of the bed, where they began to suck on the hooves of the four-legged creature, one on each side.

Tianlu's built-in voice line: "Smack smack!"

Hao Chen wasn't much better off. He devoured the Sibiki's hooves as if they were a delicacy, muttering, "Sibiki, you smell so good... I'm going to eat you... hehehe!"
