There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 235 Inquiring about Walnut's Home

"Ha, what are you guys talking about so late at night instead of sleeping?"

Just then, Tianlu walked over, yawning. But when he saw Xiangtai, he tilted his head in confusion: "Huh, Xiangtai, what are you doing here? Did the Four-Faced Beast send you to find me?"

Now that Tianlu has calmed down, he has come to realize that all of this was a despicable tactic by the Heavenly Court, and it was not something that the Qi-like creature could choose.

Moreover, the four-legged creature at least didn't intend to harm itself, except for the occasional mishaps.

But most importantly, Tianlu can't forget the taste of the chicken stew with mushrooms made by the Four-Unlikes. It's so fragrant, so incredibly fragrant.

"No, Pipi, you've misunderstood. Mu Sang and I are here because..." Shota wanted to explain that it wasn't the Four-Faced Beast that sent them; they were just here to take shelter from the rain.

But Tianlu interrupted Xiangtai and continued, "At least the four-legged creature has a conscience. Even in this heavy rain, it still thought of me and sent you to pick me up."

"Wait, Pi..."

"But let's stay here and wait out the rain until it gets lighter before we go back together."

After saying that, Tianlu realized that Shota and the others seemed to have something to say: "By the way, what were you guys trying to say?"

"No, I was just about to say that it wasn't the fourth boss who sent us."

Upon hearing this, Tianlu realized he had been moved for nothing. That wretched creature, give me back my feeling of being moved!

Shota thought to himself that since he and Maki had been out for so long, it was time to go back. He might as well wait for the rain to stop and then go back with Pipi and the others.

However, at this moment, Shota noticed something: Tianlu and the shrunken Bixie stood together and looked like brothers.

"Hey Pipi, what's your relationship with Bixie? You two look so alike!"

As soon as Shota finished speaking, Pixie stared intently at him, wondering if the other man was a lackey of the Heavenly Court, specifically inquiring about them. Should he eat them?

Noticing Pi Xie's unfriendly gaze, Shota quickly added, "Of course, it's okay if you don't want to say, I'm just curious."

Tianlu rubbed his head against Bixie: "Bixie, Xiangtai and the others aren't from the Heavenly Court, so don't scare them."

Upon hearing Tianlu's words, Bixie withdrew his gaze and turned to sit down next to Huajiao.

After calming Bixie down, Tianlu turned to Xiangtai and said, "Alright, don't be afraid. Bixie is a good beast and won't eat you."

After hearing this, Shota and Musang secretly glanced at Bixie, and when they found that Bixie was also looking at them, they quickly looked away and nodded to Tianlu in agreement.

What else could they say? They couldn't very well tell the spirit that it looked fierce in front of its face.

They'd probably be bitten to death by the very next second they uttered those words.

At this moment, Tianlu suddenly asked curiously, "By the way, you just said that it wasn't the Four-Faced Beast that sent you here, so what are you doing here?"

Shota sighed: "I came here because I was heartbroken and wanted to clear my head."

Before Tianlu could say anything after hearing Shota's words, Pixie scoffed, "Heartbroken? Running away because you can't have it? You're really boring. Besides, what's the point of that kind of short-lived and illusory feeling?"

"That's not what you said at all. What are you doing here?" Shota was indignant when he heard Bixie's sarcasm, completely forgetting that Bixie had almost eaten him just now.

When Shota asked what he was doing, Pixie took a stone slab from the corner of the cave and pointed to the abstract painting of the Four-Faced Beast on it, saying, "I'm waiting for my good brother to come back. This is what he looks like. I drew it."

Looking at the drawing on the stone slab, which consisted of only a few lines, Shota said bluntly, "Oh dear, your drawing is so outrageous, how could it possibly be found?"

"What did you say?" Bixie felt mocked. His paintings were far from bad; even Huajiao liked them.

Seeing that Bixie was angry, Mu Sang panicked and quickly shook Xiangtai's shoulder: "Xiang-Xiangtai?! What nonsense are you talking about! That painting is clearly very well done."

"Don't be afraid, Mu Sang. I didn't say anything wrong. That painting is a mess, who can understand what it is?"

Seeing Shota's repeated mockery, Pixie angrily grabbed a piece of wood used for starting a fire on the ground and threw it at Shota: "Mind your own business, get out of here."

"Wow!"

"Shota-kun, are you alright?"

After being hit by the evil spirit, Shota realized he had said the wrong thing, but it was too late. Looking at the angry evil spirit, Shota shrank back.

Shota looked at Maki apologetically: "I'm sorry, Maki, I made you get soaked in the rain with me."

"What are you saying, Shota-kun? We're good friends, so there's no need for us to stand on ceremony."

Seeing Maki comforting him, Shota hugged her, saying, "Thank you, Maki."

However, just as Shota and Maki were about to leave, they suddenly bumped into Haochen, who had come to find Bixie and Tianlu.

Although Shota didn't know Haochen, Haochen did. He looked at Shota who was about to go out and asked curiously, "Shota, why are you going out in such heavy rain?"

"Ah, you know me?" Shota thought for a moment and realized that he didn't know Haochen.

Hao Chen didn't answer Xiang Tai's question. Instead, he grabbed one of them and dragged Xiang Tai and Mu Sang back into the cave.

“Bixie, Tianlu, I’ve come to find you.”

As Hao Chen was speaking, his gaze suddenly fell on Hua Jiao, and he thought to himself, "What a beautiful beast! Its fur must feel so nice to touch!"

Upon hearing the voice, Tianlu turned around and saw Haochen: "Bixie, look, Haochen is here."

As Tianlu spoke, he ran towards Haochen: "Haochen, what are you doing here in such heavy rain?"

Hao Chen also ran towards Tian Lu. When Tian Lu saw this, he stretched out his paws to hug Hao Chen, but Hao Chen simply brushed past Tian Lu.

"Uh……"

Under Tianlu's puzzled gaze, Haochen ran up to Huajiao and grabbed Huajiao's hand in a familiar manner: "Hello, I'm Haochen. Like Bixie and the others, I'm a Pixiu. It's nice to meet you."

"..." Although Huajiao didn't know Haochen, he still greeted him politely: "Um, my name is Huajiao, and I am a Chenghuang."

"Haochen, what's wrong with you? I greeted you and you ignored me. Humph, I'm ignoring you."

"Damn it, my old problem has flared up again. I can't move when I see something furry."

Hao Chen then came to his senses and hurriedly used some of his divine power to conjure a fist-sized golden ball, handing it to Tian Lu: "Tian Lu, don't be angry. I apologize. I'm sorry. Here, have this golden ball."

Tianlu glanced at the golden ball but had no intention of taking it; clearly, one golden ball wasn't enough to appease him.

Seeing this, Hao Chen had no choice but to use his divine power to conjure two more golden balls: "Tianlu has three already, I don't have any more."

Having just returned from the Sky-Supporting Tree, his divine power hadn't recovered yet, and now he had to transform into a golden ball to please Tianlu. Haochen felt like he was being completely drained.

Fortunately, Tianlu was finally satisfied this time. He took two golden balls from Haochen, gave one to Bixie, and kept one for himself: "Bixie, this is for you."

"Why give it to me, Tianlu? You can eat it yourself."

Bixie knew Tianlu's appetite, which is why he wanted Tianlu to eat more.

However, Tianlu still forcefully stuffed a golden ball into Bixie's hand, while shaking his own golden ball: "Bixie, eat it quickly, I have some here."

Bixie glanced at Tianlu, feeling gratified that his brother's love had not been in vain.

Then, in front of Tianlu, Bixie ate the golden ball, and only then did Tianlu eat his own golden ball with satisfaction.

Then Tianlu looked at Haochen: "Haochen, aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm not hungry yet, but you can have it."

As Hao Chen spoke, he tossed the golden ball toward Tian Lu, who immediately leaped up and ate it in one bite.

"By the way, does anyone know where Walnut lives now?" Hao Chen then revealed his purpose.

Hao Chen wanted to ask Walnut for help, but he realized that apart from meeting Walnut in his dream, he didn't know where Walnut lived.

He was returning from the Sky-Supporting Tree when he happened to pass by here. He thought he'd see if any of Tianlu or the others knew anything, otherwise he would have to ask the Four-Faced Beast for help.

Tianlu and Bixie both shook their heads, but Xiangtai raised his paw and said, "I know, Walnut is living at Fuzai's house now. Fuzai told me the address of his new home."

At this point, Shota felt a pang of sadness, as if it were the taste of defeat.
