There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 340 Bai Chen's Shadow

Hao Chen sent his Dao weapon, Longshan, as a protector to the past along with Bai Chen.

What Hao Chen didn't expect was that Long Shan, due to carelessness, thought that Bai Chen was either by Di Ting's side or at the Deer Man's shop, and there was no possibility that anything would happen to him.

With this in mind, Long Shan only kept a sliver of his attention on Bai Chen, while he went to sleep. This resulted in Bai Chen being used as barbecue ingredients by his own father and being born prematurely with severe congenital deficiencies.

In order to make up for his mistakes, after some thought, Longshan decided that since he was born with a deficiency, he should make up for it through hard work.

Longshan's idea did not come out of thin air. He knew that although Bai Chen was created by the heavens and the earth, he still had Hao Chen's bloodline flowing in his veins and also had the Pixiu's innate ability to eat.

If he can find enough food, he should be able to make up for Bai Chen's congenital deficiencies.

However, Longshan did not want the Four-Unlikes to know about his existence, so he could not ask them for help in finding food and had to do it himself.

Fortunately, they were at the Deer Man's shop, so their safety was guaranteed. After the Four-Unlikes called the Flower Bud Bird to check Bai Chen's body and confirmed that there was no problem, Long Shan hurriedly left.

Whether it was heaven taking pity on Bai Chen's plight or Longshan's good fortune, it seemed as if something was guiding him in the dark. Not long after he set off, he found a cave hidden by a restriction in the mountains.

With a quick glance, Longshan could tell that the restriction at the cave entrance only served a concealment purpose and did not contain any offensive capabilities. Therefore, Longshan easily broke through the restriction at the cave entrance.

As the barrier was broken, Longshan could easily see what was inside the cave: rows of gold bars neatly arranged in the shape of a pyramid about three meters long, wide, and high.

There are actually nine such pyramids. As everyone knows, gold is the best food for the Pixiu.

"We've struck it rich! Now the young master will have plenty to eat."

Longshan excitedly waved his sleeves, using his "Hidden Universe in Sleeves" technique to collect all the gold bars.

After doing all this, Longshan was not satisfied and continued his search.

Soon, Longshan found two more similar caves, filled with treasures such as fire coral, gold beads, and chalcedony.

After packing up all the treasures, Longshan returned to the Deer Man Shop with satisfaction and secretly returned to Bai Chen's body.

"Young Master, I'm back."

After waking Bai Chen, Long Shan eagerly handed over the food he had found to Bai Chen.

Bai Chen looked at the gold and other treasures that Long Shan had given him, his face showing reluctance. Was this really something he could eat?

But considering his current situation, he had no other choice. He gritted his teeth, picked up a gold bar, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The expected gritty feeling didn't happen. Instead, the gold bar in his mouth felt crisp and had a strange aroma, which made him take another bite.

As the gold bar went down his throat, a warm feeling welled up inside him, and Bai Chen clearly sensed that his vitality was increasing.

Although the improvement was not obvious, at least his thin body was recovering.

This confirmed to Bai Chen that the food in front of him could solve the congenital deficiencies caused by his premature birth, and he ate even more diligently.

Thanks to the Pixiu bloodline within him, although Longshan brought back a considerable number of gold bars and other treasures, it was no problem for Bai Chen.

After eating all the gold bars, Bai Chen patted his stomach with satisfaction. Now he just needed to digest them and he would get through the initial period of weakness. After that, he could eat normally.

"At least I don't have to worry about the possibility of seeing Uncle Di Ting at any time."

At this moment, Bai Chen suddenly thought of a question and quickly communicated with Long Shan within his body: "Uncle Long, where did you find these? These gold bars don't look like they're from the wild!"

Upon hearing this question, Long Shan's face stiffened, and he hurriedly explained that these were all gifts from heaven, telling Bai Chen not to overthink it or mention it to anyone else.

Seeing that Longshan didn't want to talk, Bai Chen didn't press him any further and continued to rest, trying to digest the treasure he had just eaten.

What Bai Chen didn't know was that Long Shan's expression was clearly flustered at this moment. After breaking through the restrictions of the first cave, he knew that the things inside were hidden by Hao Chen.

But since it had already been done, and Bai Chen's premature birth was due to his negligence, Long Shan had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the treasure from the cave.

At the same time, Longshan also remembered something. Once, Haochen inexplicably got angry, apparently because someone had stolen the treasures he had painstakingly collected from four or five caves.

Looking back now, Longshan suspects that person was probably him.

"Don't let the master find out, or I'll probably have to be remade."

With a sliver of hope, Long Shan thought that as long as he didn't let anything slip and didn't appear in front of Hao Chen, Hao Chen wouldn't suspect him.

Meanwhile, when Zhanhu suddenly learned that he had another son, his face showed little joy, but rather a sense of bewilderment.

"Rabbit Master, could you please do me a favor? As long as you..." Zhan Hu knew he wasn't cut out for taking care of children, so he could only ask Rabbit Master for help.

Before Zhanhu could finish speaking, Rabbit Master guessed Zhanhu's intentions and pulled a baby bottle out of his scarf: "Alright, I've already prepared everything for you. Take me to see your son."

"Oh..." Zhanhu was still a little confused. He didn't expect Rabbit Lord to agree so easily. He had prepared his speech for so long, but it was all for nothing.

But this was for the best. Zhan Hu led the way and soon arrived at Bai Chen's side.

Looking at Bai Chen, who was fast asleep, Zhan Hu wondered if he was seeing things. He felt that his adopted son seemed to have gained weight and was breathing much more easily since he went out.

"This is the son that Si Si was talking about, the one who came from the future. It's quite a surprise." Rabbit Lord stepped forward familiarly, picked up Bai Chen, and examined him closely.

The next moment, in front of Zhan Hu, Rabbit Lord pulled Bai Chen's hind legs apart and looked at Bai Chen's belly.

"Hey Rabbit, what are you looking at?"

Rabbit Lord's actions baffled Zhan Hu, who thought his adopted son had gotten into trouble. He followed Rabbit Lord's gaze but found nothing.

"Don't get me wrong, Zhanhu. I was just curious if the Pixiu's son had a little sparrow, so I came to take a look."

Rabbit Lord hurriedly explained, fearing that if this got back to the ears of the Qilin, he would be seen as a pervert.

Upon hearing Rabbit Lord's words, Zhan Hu's gaze couldn't help but fall on Bai Chen's belly. In fact, to get a better look, Zhan Hu even used his paw to part the fur on Bai Chen's belly.

However, this action also woke Bai Chen up. But as soon as Bai Chen opened his eyes, he immediately felt something was wrong. Why were his father and Rabbit Lord staring at him? And where were his paws touching, Father?

Bai Chen wanted to struggle, but his body was still too weak at the moment, and he couldn't break free from Rabbit Lord's embrace. He could only let them study him.

"What a disgrace! Father, I'll remember you. And Rabbit, this isn't over yet. If you can catch the Four-Unlikes, I'll be impressed."

Just when Bai Chen was about to give up, a turning point came when Zhan Hu's phone suddenly rang.

Zhanhu took it out and saw that it was Haochen who had sent him a message, seemingly inviting them to watch some kind of competition.
