Chapter 188 Departure and Poisoning
Chapter 188 Departure and Poisoning
Hao Chen was terrified by Chi You's idea of getting him and Zhan Hu to have an egg, and immediately thought of running away.
Hao Chen was clearly unwilling to leave so dejectedly, and his Pixiu attribute allowed him to smell the scent of many treasures in the Jiuli Imperial Palace.
"If Tianlu were here, he would probably go and find treasures to eat right away. But I'm different. I only act when it's nighttime and no one is around."
Thinking of this, Haochen suggested going out for a stroll, as he had never seen the palace before.
Chi You squinted at Hao Chen for a while, which immediately made Hao Chen feel like his thoughts had been seen through.
Fortunately, Chi You didn't say anything in the end, but instead asked if he needed someone to lead the way.
Hao Chen naturally couldn't agree to that, since he just wanted to find the location of the Jiuli Treasure Vault. If he agreed to Chi You's suggestion and had someone lead the way, how would he find the treasure vault?
"No need. With my cultivation level, who else but you can hurt me?" Hao Chen said, then got up and left the room.
Watching Hao Chen's departing figure, Chi You murmured, "A Pixiu? What a greedy little fellow."
Whether it was Chi You's order or Hao Chen's good luck, he didn't encounter many people along the way. Even when he did, they pretended not to see him.
And so, Hao Chen swaggered to the location of the Jiuli Treasure Vault. Smelling the fragrance of various treasures emanating from the vault, Hao Chen wiped his drool: "After tonight, all of this will be mine."
That very night, Hao Chen transformed into a night stalker, using his Celestial Venerable-level concealment ability to loot the Nine Li Dynasty's treasury before fleeing.
But to his surprise, he encountered Zhan Hu just as he was about to leave.
This immediately made Hao Chen's heart tighten, thinking that Zhan Hu had discovered that he had stolen, or rather, borrowed, the treasure.
"Zhanhu, um, what are you doing here? The weather is so nice today, the moon is so bright..." Haochen looked up at the moon, which was obscured by dark clouds, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.
Fortunately, Hao Chen was thick-skinned enough and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Haha, the moon here is really shy. It's getting late, I'll go back and rest first."
Before Hao Chen could turn around and leave, Zhan Hu's large paw landed directly on Hao Chen's shoulder: "Hao Chen, are you planning to leave? Take me with you."
"What did you say? Say it again!" Hao Chen wondered if he had misheard and picked at his ear.
Zhan Hu took a deep breath and said, "I want to leave with you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's impossible for us." Hao Chen was so frightened by Zhan Hu's words that he backed away and hugged himself tightly.
Upon seeing this, Zhanhu slapped Haochen on the head without thinking: "What are you thinking? I just wanted to go out for a walk, but I didn't know where to go, so I just wanted to keep you company."
Hao Chen rubbed the large bump on his forehead, thinking to himself, "Zhan Hu, you really went all out. Don't give me another chance, or you'll be in for it."
After confirming that Zhan Hu wasn't actually after his body, Hao Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He did like things to be a little more exciting, but that didn't mean he was thinking of putting himself in danger.
"Zhanhu, why did you suddenly decide to run away?"
Zhan Hu actually suggested leaving with him, even though Zhan Hu had been obsessed with finding his master, Chi You.
Now that we've finally met, it's not even been a night before we have to leave.
Faced with Hao Chen's question, Zhan Hu pursed his lips, unwilling to answer. What could he do? He was helpless too.
However, Zhan Hu also knew that if he didn't make things clear to Hao Chen, Hao Chen's mind would probably start to wander into all sorts of nonsense.
Through Zhanhu's vivid narration, Haochen learned that Zhanhu originally thought that by finding his master Chiyou, he could follow Chiyou to conquer the world once again.
But the result was that Chi You was found, but Chi You no longer wanted to conquer the world. Instead, he was focused on finding a mate for Zhan Hu.
In Chi You's words, she had already reached the heights she could reach, and it was unlikely that she could go any further.
Therefore, Chi You transformed into the appearance of a young girl to cultivate his character and refine his mind in the mortal world, in order to find the possibility of further advancement.
However, his encounter with Zhanhu gave Chiyou the idea of taking care of the child. Of course, the child could not be his own, so he could only set his sights on Zhanhu.
Therefore, after ending his conversation with Haochen, Chiyou held a meeting with Zhanhu to ask him what his impression of Haochen was.
As long as Zhan Hu agrees, she will tie Hao Chen up and bring him to keep Zhan Hu company, even if it means binding him.
Fortunately, Zhan Hu clarified in time that he and Hao Chen were just friends, well, a rather special kind of friends, which saved Hao Chen from disaster.
However, just when Zhan Hu thought the matter was over, Chi You pulled out a large pile of portraits for Zhan Hu to see. There were male and female figures, old and young, and Zhan Hu even saw a bizarre hermaphrodite on them.
"Zhanhu, since you don't like Haochen, then pick one of these and hurry up and give me a baby."
Chi You's words immediately sent chills down Zhan Hu's spine, and he couldn't help but have the same thought as Hao Chen: to run away.
Therefore, Zhanhu decided to leave the Jiuli Dynasty with Haochen. Anyway, he had found his master and knew that his master was still alive, so he had no regrets.
However, what Zhanhu and Haochen didn't know was that all of this was part of Chiyou's plan; she deliberately forced Zhanhu and Haochen to leave.
Then, they were secretly led to the forbidden land of Tianhu Ancient Star, and finally, they could have consummated their relationship and successfully conceived Zhanhu's cub.
After listening to Zhanhu's words, Haochen patted Zhanhu's paw sympathetically: "Brother, think positively. Tonight, I'll take you to freedom. But before that, let me hug your paw. I haven't touched it for days, and I'm craving it again."
Before Zhanhu could react, Haochen grabbed Zhanhu's right paw and sat down on the ground to stroke it, saying, "It's still more comfortable to stroke your big paw, Zhanhu."
"Stop touching me, let's go quickly, or we won't be able to leave if we're discovered." Zhan Hu watched Hao Chen playing with his paws, feeling both comfortable and ashamed, and quickly stopped Hao Chen from continuing.
Hao Chen reluctantly let go of Zhan Hu's claws, thinking that Zhan Hu was right, now was not the time to play these games.
Moreover, Zhanhu planned to leave with him, so that once they were safe, they could do whatever they wanted.
Thinking of this, Hao Chen excitedly pulled Zhan Hu to leave, unaware that Chi You was watching everything from the shadows.
"Shameless little thief, you even said you didn't have those feelings for Zhanhu. If I hadn't seen it, who knows how you would have bullied Zhanhu."
Although Chi You really wanted to rush out right now to seek justice for Zhan Hu, he managed to hold back in the end: "But this is fine too. Since you like playing so much, Hao Chen, I hope you will like the gift I prepared for you."
After finding the teleportation array of the Jiuli Dynasty, Hao Chen and Zhan Hu activated it and left the Jiuli Dynasty.
However, they were unaware that Chi You had tampered with the coordinates of the teleportation array, and could only teleport them to the ancient star of Tianhu.
When Hao Chen and the others were teleported to the ancient star road leading to Tianhu Ancient Star, they thought the teleportation array could only teleport them here and did not suspect that they had been teleported to the wrong place.
With the idea of "since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it," Hao Chen didn't think much of it and jumped directly onto Zhan Hu's back.
"My warlike tiger, it's up to you now. Set off along this ancient starry road; the path to freedom lies ahead."
Hao Chen's childish behavior made Zhan Hu feel a little embarrassed, and he even had the thought that it might have been a mistake to go with Hao Chen.
"Haochen, I feel like I'm on your pirate ship now. Is it still possible to get off?"
"Enough with the nonsense. Now that we're up here, let's not think about getting down. Zhanhu, let's go."
In the starry sky, a white tiger draped in a red cloak was walking slowly. With each step the white tiger took, ripples appeared in the void, and the surrounding scenery rushed past.
On the back of the white tiger, there was a figure lying with his legs crossed.
After an unknown amount of time, somewhere on the ancient planet of Tianhu, a golden light descended, and Hao Chen and Zhan Hu appeared.
"Where am I? I should have brought a map."
Hao Chen looked at the trees around him. Although they looked normal, they gave him a strange feeling.
Zhan Hu rolled his eyes at Hao Chen, thinking disdainfully, "Idiot Hao Chen, how many planets have you been to? Do you still think this is your own world?"
However, Zhanhu only thought these words in his heart. If he were to actually say them out loud, he would inevitably be teased and retaliated against by Haochen.
"Never mind, we'll have to rely on your brother Tiger when it matters. I grabbed a map on the way out." Just then, Zhan Hu pulled a map out of his pocket.
As Zhanhu infused his divine power into the map, the map instantly revealed their location.
"You had such a good thing, why didn't you bring it out sooner?"
Hao Chen looked at the map in Zhan Hu's claw, especially after learning that the map actually recorded the coordinates of most of the star fields in this world, as well as the secret realm, and the idea of taking it for himself arose in his mind.
Zhan Hu was too familiar with Hao Chen. As soon as he saw Hao Chen staring intently at his map, he guessed what Hao Chen was thinking and quickly put the map away.
Just as Hao Chen was about to complain about Zhan Hu's stinginess, his body suddenly issued a warning.
Then a faint fragrance wafted over. Hao Chen sensed something was wrong and quickly held his breath: "Zhan Hu, don't breathe! This fragrance came too suddenly, it might be poison...poison...poison!"
Hao Chen realized he had warned him too late. Zhan Hu's eyes were glazed over, and his body was swaying. He seemed about to fall and faint at any moment, clearly indicating that he had been poisoned.
Seeing this, Hao Chen wanted to go up and check Zhan Hu to see if he could detoxify him, but he didn't notice the bulge in Zhan Hu's crotch.
"Awoo!" As Haochen approached, Zhanhu roared and then, with bloodshot eyes, he pinned Haochen down.
"Zhanhu, what are you doing? You... wait, Zhanhu, what did you put on my stomach?"
Just as Hao Chen was about to reprimand Zhan Hu, he noticed something between them. At first, Hao Chen didn't think much of it and assumed that Zhan Hu had pressed him down with a wooden stick.
But then he thought, where did Zhan Hu get the stick? He didn't see him holding a stick. Subconsciously, Hao Chen stretched out his claws toward the stick.
But as soon as Hao Chen touched it with his claw, his expression changed drastically, because he was all too familiar with what his claw touched. It wasn't a wooden stick at all, but that thing.
"Damn it, could it be that the scent just now made Zhanhu go into heat?"
When Hao Chen extended his claws, Zhan Hu actually showed a comfortable expression, which made Hao Chen feel uneasy. If he didn't leave soon, something serious might really happen.
