There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 222 Zhujian Arrives

Chapter 222 The Zhujians Have Arrived

Although Hao Chen managed to persuade the Qilin to come out and search for Tianlu, they couldn't find any clues about Tianlu in the vast Caiyun Mountain for the time being.

"Haochen, we've been looking for Pipi for so long and still haven't found her. Let's take a break. It won't make a difference if we take a little longer."

Although it had been sitting on Haochen's back the whole way, the Sibuxiang still felt like its whole body was about to fall apart from the jostling, so it had to ask Haochen to stop and rest.

As it grew dark, Hao Chen realized they hadn't seen Tianlu at all, and even after asking the spirits they'd encountered along the way, none of them had seen him.

"Where did Tianlu go? Could it have run away from Caiyun Mountain?"

The thought of this possibility made Hao Chen restless. If Tianlu really ran away from Caiyun Mountain, it would be really hard to find him.

“You four-legged creature, rest here for a while. I’ll go take a walk around the neighborhood and ask if anyone has seen Tianlu.”

Seeing that the Four-Faced Beast had just sat down to rest, Hao Chen didn't want to let it continue to keep him occupied, so he told the Four-Faced Beast to stay while he went to wander around the neighborhood, hoping to find clues about Tianlu.

After sitting down, the four-legged creature didn't want to get up again. It waved its hand at Haochen and said, "Haochen, you go ahead. I'll rest a little longer. Don't go too far."

"Now we know what a 'four unlikes' is."

After Haochen left, the four-legged creature took advantage of its rest time to calm down and think seriously.

"If Pipi finds out I'm fake, will he just eat me? What if Haochen can't save me in time?"

"And what about Haochen? Can he beat Pipi? If he can't, then we're in trouble."

"With the Heavenly Court watching over us, running away is not an option. If we don't run, we might get eaten. Life is tough..."

"Huh? What's the deal with that pink hill?"

Just as the four-legged creature was in a state of utter confusion, it suddenly noticed a pink mountain in the distance.

The next moment, whether it was an illusion or not, the Qilin felt that the pink mountain was actually moving towards him.

This discovery startled the four-legged creature: "What the heck is that?!"

In the blink of an eye, the pink hilltop appeared before the four-legged creature.

Only then did the Qilin realize that this was not a pink hill at all, but a huge pink mythical beast.

It has one eye, wears a golden headband, has a body like a leopard, and long limbs. Most notably, this mythical beast has a very long tail in its mouth.

"This is...this is Zhujian?!" The Qilin was shocked after recognizing the other party's identity.

When Zhujian saw the Qilin, he looked at it with excitement, as if he had found a treasure: "Hey! I think I smell fear. Who's afraid?"

The Qilin knew that it was no match for the other party's size, and most importantly, it did not recognize the other party.

Thinking of this, the four-legged creature immediately turned around and ran away.

But Zhujian, with his long legs, caught up with the Qilin in just a few steps.

Furthermore, it lacked any martial ethics, stretching its long legs in front of the strange creature.

With a "thud," the Qilin was tripped by Zhujian's leg and fell to the ground.

"Ouch!"

"No way, Zhujian's legs are way too long!!"

The four-legged creature instinctively shouted, "Help! Rabbit Master Pipi Hao..."

However, before the four-legged creature could cry for help, Zhujian gently touched it with his long claws.

Then Zhujian bent down and looked at the Qilin with excitement: "Oh dear, you fell down, do you need my help?"

The Qilin looked at Zhujian's huge head and was terrified. It dared not ask for help and repeatedly declined, saying, "No, no need to trouble yourself. I can get up by myself."

However, Zhujian seemed to have his eye on the Qilin and showed no intention of leaving.

After observing the four-legged creature for a while, Zhujian used its claws to lift it up from the ground with great interest.

Then Zhujian approached the Qilin and sniffed its scent: "This is the first time I've ever seen a beast like you. You look really strange."

"What...what do you want?! Let me tell you, I have the Heavenly Court backing me!"

Seeing that the other party's gaze kept looking at him, the Qilin couldn't help but feel anxious. In order to survive, he had no choice but to bring up the Heavenly Court, hoping that Zhujian would let him go because he was afraid of the Heavenly Court.

What Qi Xiang didn't expect was that after hearing about the Heavenly Court, Zhu Jian acted as if he hadn't heard it at all. Not only did he not restrain himself, but he also took a deep breath on him even more recklessly: "You smell strange too."

"Huh?!" The four-legged creature thought to itself that it was doomed. Why hadn't Hao Chen returned after so long? It shouldn't have believed him, otherwise it wouldn't have run into Zhu Jian today.

"Yes, I'm sorry, please don't eat me. I'm synthetic meat, and I don't taste good at all, boohoo."

Seeing the four-legged creature shedding tears, Zhujian scratched his head in confusion: "Why are you crying? I didn't want to eat you. I came to help you."

"Help me?" The Qilin was surprised to hear that Zhujian had come to help it.

"I am the divine beast Zhujian, also known as Fat Lang Shen. I can help you."

Fat God then looked at the Qilin with a look of certainty:

"You're afraid of something, aren't you? Lying won't help; I can smell your fear. How about I help you get rid of what you're afraid of, and then you can feel at ease."

"Get rid of what you're afraid of?"

Upon hearing Fatty Langshen's words, the Qilin began to waver. Although it didn't know if Fatty Langshen had the ability, judging from his demeanor, he must have some skill.

Moreover, the Four-Faced Beast has indeed had many worries lately. If the misunderstanding between him and Pipi is not resolved, he will probably be torn apart by the Pixiu brothers immediately.

Even if Pipi and his brother hadn't torn it up, he would still have been punished by the Heavenly Court for failing to properly guard the Pixiu, which allowed it to escape the Heavenly Court's supervision.

Rather than that, it would be better to...

Thinking of this, the Qilin decided to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless, and tentatively asked the Fat God, "Uh, I do have something that worries me. Could you... help me overthrow the Heavenly Court?"

But as soon as the strange creature uttered its words, the fat god showed a frightened expression, biting its tail and retreating quickly, shaking its head repeatedly to refuse the strange creature's request: "Woo-hoo, woo-hoo."

Fat Lang Shen wrapped himself tightly with his tail, and looked apologetically at the Qilin: "I'm sorry, my abilities are limited, I really can't do this."

The four-legged creature was dumbfounded. It did not expect the fat god to react so strongly, and the fat god, despite his large size, was surprisingly timid.

However, it's not entirely her fault. After all, even the Qilin (a mythical creature) knew that overthrowing the Heavenly Court was a difficult task, which was indeed a bit of a challenge for Fatty God.

"Ah, it's nothing... I was just saying, there's no need to apologize."

Fat God lowered his head in dejection: "I'm sorry, I'm incompetent. I once encountered some gods from Heaven and they cast a curse on me."

According to Fat God, hundreds of years ago, when she was young and unaware of the world, she ate a human as a novelty.

Unfortunately, he encountered a deity who came to the mortal realm: "You wicked beast, how dare you eat people! Considering your ignorance, I will only punish you by making you do three thousand acts of helping others. Only after you have completed these acts can you remove the golden headband from your head."

To punish the fat god for eating people, the deity put a golden headband on her head and made her perform three thousand good deeds to help others before the headband could be removed.

"Huh? Why? Who are you? Why are you pulling my hair?!"

Fat God stretched out his claws to try to remove the golden headband, but not only did he fail to remove it, the headband tightened even more, causing her unbearable pain.

In order to remove the golden headband, the fat god had no choice but to search around for people who needed help: "Is there anyone who needs help? I'm here to help."

But because of her enormous size and unusual appearance, she not only failed to help people, but also scared them away.

"It's been hundreds of years, and not a single person has asked me for help. I'm almost bald from all the hair on my head, waaaaaah!"

Overwhelmed with sadness, Fatty Langshen sat down on the ground and began to cry, tears the size of fists streaming down his face.

Seeing this, the Qilin was speechless. It was unexpected that the fat god had such a bad past. He couldn't find anyone to help because of his appearance.

"Oh, I see. Hey, don't cry, you're not that bald."

But just as the Qilin was comforting the fat man, a blue and white figure suddenly rushed over from a distance.

Without saying a word, he rammed his head into Fatty Lang Shen, sending her flying.

"Where did this pink thing come from, daring to bully the four-legged creature? Does it have a death wish?!"

Hao Chen glared fiercely at the fat man. He had rushed over after hearing the strange creature's cries for help.

Upon seeing Fat Lang Shen, my first thought was that this guy was bullying the Qilin. Regardless of whether my thought was right or wrong, I decided to beat him up first.

After being knocked away, Fatty realized he had been hit and stopped crying.

But when Fatty Lang got up to see who had recklessly bumped into him, he saw the fierce-looking Hao Chen and instantly chose to follow his heart.

Curled up and hiding behind the four-legged creature, he said, "Synthetic Meat, your friend is so fierce. Can you tell him not to hit me?"

"My name isn't He..."

The four-legged creature was about to say that it wasn't called Synthetic Meat, but then it thought that the name didn't matter, since the name Synthetic Meat suited it well anyway.

So the four-legged creature simply chose to give up and ignore it.

However, when Hao Chen heard that Fatty Lang Shen actually called the Four-Unlikes Synthetic Meat, a surge of anger welled up in his heart again.

"Although the Four-Unlikes is just a substitute for the Four-Unlikes, in my heart, the Four-Unlikes is the Four-Unlikes. It is not a substitute for anyone, nor is it any kind of synthetic meat. This pink thing is actually mocking the Four-Unlikes. It deserves to be hit."

The thought of this, coupled with the fact that Chen Ying had inexplicably tricked him into this parallel world, caused a surge of murderous aura to rise from Hao Chen's body.

"Roar!!!"

Suddenly, Hao Chen roared to the sky, venting his anger.

A tremendous roar emanated from Hao Chen and spread in all directions.

The four-legged creature covered its ears, its expression pained: "Haochen, why are you shouting so loudly? I almost went deaf."

After venting his frustrations, Hao Chen felt much better. He scratched his head and grinned foolishly, "Sorry, Qi Bu Xiang, I got a little agitated just now. Are you alright?"

"Is that excitement? You're practically going crazy." The four-legged creature picked at its ear, its tone somewhat displeased.

"I'm sorry, Four-Unlikes, I was wrong, I apologize." Hao Chen didn't dare to say anything, pretending that nothing had happened, and directly lay down in front of Four-Unlikes: "Come on, Four-Unlikes, let's go back first."

The four-legged creature didn't think much of it. Too much had happened today, and all it wanted to do was go back and rest. So it climbed onto Hao Chen's back and said, "Okay, let's go back."

"Okay, let's go home."

Hao Chen carried the Qilin on his back and headed towards the Deer Man's shop. Seeing this, Fatty Lang Shen chose to follow behind the Qilin.

Because Fat God thought that the Qilin could talk to her and might ask for her help, which would give her a chance to get rid of the golden headband on her head.

What Hao Chen didn't know was that after his roar, not far from him, Tian Lu raised his head and stared in the direction Hao Chen and the Four-Faced Beast had left.

"It's in the direction of the Deer Man Shop. Could the Four-Faced Beast be in danger? No, I have to go back and check. Four-Faced Beast, please don't let anything happen to you."

Further away, Bixie also heard Haochen's roar: "It's coming from the direction of the Deer Man Shop. Could Tianlu be in danger? Let's go back and check."
