There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 250 The Lost Jade

"Damn it, Rabbit Lord came at the worst possible time, otherwise I might have been able to sleep with Zhanhu tonight."

Hao Chen glanced at Rabbit Lord's cave, his eyes filled with regret. Even though he had been so shameless, he still lost by one move.

However, tonight wasn't all bad news; at least I have some ideas about what to do next.

After pondering for a moment, Hao Chen made a decision: "Let's find a quiet place first and see if we can communicate with Chen Ying's Dao and Dharma."

On the other side, Zhan Hu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hao Chen finally leave. At the same time, he silently labeled Hao Chen as shameless, troublesome, and perverted.

(Hao Chen: Slander! Zhan Hu, you're slandering me! I'm just deeply in love with Mao Rongrong, how can you call me a pervert?)

"Oleander, don't worry, I'll protect you... Hey, Oleander, what are you looking at?"

Zhanhu was worried that Haochen might frighten Oleander and was about to comfort her when he noticed that Oleander was holding a bead-like object in her claws. Zhanhu's curiosity was immediately piqued.

"What is this? It smells quite unique." Zhan Hu approached the oleander, picked up the bead, and smelled it. For some reason, he had the urge to eat the bead.

If Hao Chen were here, he would discover that this pearl, which exudes a unique fragrance, is the Transformation Jade given to him by the Sky-Supporting Tree.

Fortunately, at that moment, Oleander took the bead from Zhanhu's paw in time; otherwise, Zhanhu might have lost control and swallowed the bead whole.

"I just picked this bead up from the ground. It's probably something he dropped during your fight with Haochen. We'll go back to Boss Si's place tomorrow to return it to him."

Oleander placed the beads on the table beside her and then said, "Alright, Zhanhu, we're going to the hot springs tomorrow, so hurry up and get some sleep, or you won't be able to get up."

"Okay, coming right away." Zhan Hu glanced back at the bead, thinking that since the bead smelled so good and Hao Chen had dropped it, it might be some kind of treasure. He had heard that Pixiu (mythical creatures) liked treasures.

While the oleander wasn't looking, Zhanhu secretly took the bead. He planned to keep it safe and study it carefully when he had time. If it was really a treasure, he didn't want to return it to Haochen so easily.

Oleander didn't see Zhanhu's little tricks and was happily lying on the bed waiting for Zhanhu to go to bed with her.

Zhanhu turned off the lights in the room and went to bed with the beads. Soon after, two snores were heard.

In a daze, Oleander unconsciously moved closer to Zhanhu, and then, as if dreaming of something delicious, she rolled her tongue and swallowed the precious pearl that Zhanhu had hidden on his body.

"Gulu~"

As he swallowed the oleander, the pearl was smoothly swallowed as well: "Did I just eat something?"

After waking up, Oleander touched her stomach in confusion, but before she could think further, she felt a cold sensation in her lower abdomen, followed by a burning sensation, constantly shifting between the two.

"Hmm--" Oleander groaned, waking up Zhanhu who was standing next to her.

"What happened?" Zhan Hu opened his eyes and saw Jia Zhu Tao writhing on the bed in pain, clutching her stomach. He panicked instantly: "Jia Zhu Tao, how are you? Wait a minute, I'll go find Rabbit Master to take a look."

Just as Zhan Hu was about to get up, Oleander, like a snake, uncontrollably coiled around him.

"Zhanhu, hug me!" Oleander's soft, sweet voice rang out, stimulating Zhanhu's senses and causing him to instantly lift his head.

But Zhan Hu could tell from the dazed look in Oleander's eyes that this was no simple matter. He suppressed his desire and said, "Oleander, stop messing around. I'm going to find Rabbit Lord right away. He must know what's going on."

Just as Zhan Hu was about to make a move, he smelled a familiar scent. Instantly, as if he had thought of something, Zhan Hu quickly reached out and touched his body.

After searching for a while, Zhanhu still couldn't find the precious pearl on his body: "It's gone. Could it have been eaten by the oleander?"

Zhan Hu regretted it. He should have known better than to be so impulsive as to hide the precious pearl on his person. He didn't even know if the pearl was poisonous.

Zhan Hu didn't realize that as he inhaled more and more of the fragrance, his eyes gradually turned bloodshot, his thoughts became increasingly sluggish, and his body gradually began to become uncontrollable, with an unnamed fire rising in his abdomen.

The next moment, Zhan Hu roughly grabbed Oleander and threw her onto the bed. Looking at Oleander, who had inexplicably turned into a female, Zhan Hu didn't find anything abnormal.

It even naturally began to sniff the oleander, as if some kind of magic was attracting Zhanhu.

"Oleander, you smell so good, I want to..."

"Ok!"

Oleander mumbled a response, which thrilled Zhanhu.

……

The oleander was enjoying itself, and so was Zhanhu.

However, Zhu Tao was unaware of what she was doing, while Zhan Hu knew what he was doing, but he couldn't control his actions.

"I'm sorry, Oleander, I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to." Zhanhu kept apologizing to Oleander in his heart.

In another room, even though Rabbit covered his ears with a pillow, he couldn't stop the seductive music coming from Zhanhu's room.

"This Zhanhu, he still has so much energy at this hour, doesn't he know to keep things quiet?"

Rabbit Lord listened to Zhan Hu and Oleander's voices with a flushed face, and even fantasized that it would be great if it were Si Bu Xiang and himself doing this in Zhan Hu's room at this moment.

Hao Chen had no idea that Oleander was doing what he wanted to do. Well, if the positions were reversed, Hao Chen would probably like it even more.

"This mountain is so high, we shouldn't be disturbed. Let's try it here."

Hao Chen chose the highest peak in the Caiyun Mountains. A cool breeze brushed against his body, gradually calming his mind.

Hao Chen sat cross-legged atop the mountain peak, and mysterious yin-yang runes appeared in his eyes as he opened and closed them.

In a daze, Haochen seemed to see the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, but because Heaven and Earth were silent, the laws of the Great Dao were not visible to the world, and were sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

However, Hao Chen still tried his best to find Chen Ying's Dao imprint among the many Dao laws.

"Om..."

As Hao Chen continued to comprehend the Dao and Law of the Heavenly Shadow, his own Yin-Yang Laws transformed into a small figure and emerged from his body.

With the help of the Yin-Yang miniature, Hao Chen's five senses were greatly enhanced, and his perception of the laws became clearer, giving him a sense of oneness with the universe.

But just as Hao Chen was trying to use the Yin-Yang Law to resonate with Chen Ying's Law in order to find the mark left by Chen Ying, a figure walked towards him.

"Who are you? I was here first, first come, first served. Go to another hilltop."

The sudden sound interrupted Hao Chen's concentration, forcing him to withdraw the Yin-Yang figurine.

Hao Chen was annoyed when he finally managed to sense a trace of Chen Ying's imprint during the moment of harmony between heaven and man.

"Who is it? How rude... Oh, are you the lucky unicorn lychee?!" Hao Chen was about to curse when he realized that it was a pink unicorn that interrupted him.

Long-forgotten memories were stirred up again. If I remember correctly from my time travel memories, Lychee seems to be one of the few sweet characters in the entire comic.

Lychee looked at Haochen with some surprise: "It seems like this is the first time we've met. How do you know my name?"

"Haha, that's not important." Hao Chen changed the subject, "My name is Hao Chen, and I haven't asked you how you ended up here yet."

Seeing that Hao Chen seemed to have no ill intentions, Li Zhi felt relieved and explained, "This mountain has the most abundant spiritual energy in the vicinity, and I come here to eat every day."

"Eat?!" Hao Chen looked up at the dimly lit sky, surprised at how quickly time had passed; it was already morning before he knew it.

Just as Hao Chen was about to go back, he suddenly thought that since the lychee was a lucky unicorn, he wondered if it could bring him good luck.

Perhaps after the luck is turned around, I will be able to sense Chen Ying's mark immediately next time.

Thinking of this, Hao Chen suddenly said to Li Zhi, "Li Zhi, don't move, there's a bug on you."

"Where? Where? Quickly help me get rid of the bug."

Indeed, being a reptile is in the nature of most women, and even Qilin is no exception.

While Lizhi was in a hurry, Haochen casually touched Lizhi and said, "Okay, the bug is gone."

The next moment, Lychee seemed to realize something and quickly looked at the spot where Haochen had just touched her.

Unsurprisingly, the originally pink fur has now turned jet black and shiny.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!" Lychee gasped for breath, feeling cheated. What bugs? It was clearly just an excuse.

Noticing that Lizhi was angry, Haochen activated his divine skill: the best of the thirty-six stratagems is to run away. He pretended to be nonchalant and waved goodbye to Lizhi: "Then Lizhi, you can continue eating your breakfast. I won't bother you anymore."

"Don't go... no, stay away from me." Lizhi was about to call out to Haochen, but she realized what she was doing and quickly told Haochen to leave.

If Haochen comes back, he might "accidentally" bump into me, and what if he makes me even darker?

Hearing Lychee behind him telling him to hurry up, Hao Chen said that the mistake wasn't his, but Lychee's identity. The lucky unicorn should naturally help people bring good fortune.

Having found a reason for himself, Haochen felt at ease enjoying the good fortune brought by the lychees, and prepared to try again tonight.

On the way back to the deer shop from Haochen, Zhanhu lay exhausted on the bed. After exercising all night, Zhanhu felt so tired and sleepy, and just wanted to take a nap.

The oleander next to it had already reverted to its male form after the effect of Baoyu wore off.

After being tossed and turned all night, Oleander was also exhausted and lay down next to Zhanhu with her big belly.

Looking at the oleander beside him, which smelled strongly of him, Zhan Hu tenderly pulled over the blanket and gently covered the oleander and himself.

"Oleander, I'm sorry, I..."

Just as Zhan Hu was about to continue apologizing, Oleander suddenly kissed him on the lips, silencing him.

Then, Oleander looked at Zhanhu with deep affection and said, "Zhanhu, you don't need to apologize. This is what I wanted too, and I really like this feeling of being loved. It's warm and fulfilling..."

As they talked, Oleander realized that her words were a bit too explicit, and she shyly buried her head in the blanket.

Zhanhu smiled and said, "That's good."
