There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 180 Hao Chen's Deception

Hao Chen didn't see Cat Tears downstairs. After thinking for a moment, he guessed that the Four-Faced Beast must have taken Cat Tears to settle down at Changchun Tree.

Sure enough, Hao Chen found Cat Tears by the periwinkle tree. Cat Tears seemed to be very satisfied with its new home and was sleeping on the periwinkle tree with its long tail dangling down and swaying back and forth.

Hao Chen couldn't resist grabbing Cat Tears' tail and rubbing his face against it vigorously.

The next moment, Hao Chen felt Cat Tears' tail curl up and pull him up.

"What an impolite little guy! How can you touch someone else's tail like that?"

Approaching them was Cat Tears's big cat head. Hao Chen looked at Cat Tears and nodded inwardly. Cat Tears, when not in a mad state, looked handsome and was indescribably pleasing to the eye.

Meanwhile, Cat Tears, seeing Hao Chen staring at her without moving, quickly waved her paw in front of his eyes: "Hey little guy, wake up, are you scared silly?"

However, what happened next left Cat Tears dumbfounded. Hao Chen suddenly pounced on Cat Tears, throwing his entire body onto her and burying his head in her body, rubbing against her vigorously.

The sudden movement startled Cat Tears, who instinctively tried to back away. However, Cat Tears had clearly forgotten that she was in a tree and there were hardly any footholds behind her.

Suddenly, she lost her footing and fell from the tree with Hao Chen. Instinctively, Cat Tears rolled over and landed on all fours.

Cat Tears, having landed safely, patted her chest. "Thank goodness, I'm safe...bang!"

Before Cat Tears could even feel happy, Hao Chen, as if he had been fitted with a GPS tracker, landed on Cat Tears and instantly knocked her to the ground.

"Get off me." Cat Tears was a little angry. With a little effort, she threw Hao Chen off her back.

Anyone who is sleeping soundly and is suddenly disturbed, then dragged down from a tree and knocked to the ground by someone, would be angry, no matter how good-tempered they are.

Hao Chen was a little embarrassed, forgetting that he was still a stranger in Mao Mao Lei's eyes. He actually mistook Mao Mao Lei for Tian Lu and He Tao, and in his excitement, he wanted to pet her.

"Oh, I'm sorry, don't be angry." Hao Chen shamelessly ran to Maomao Lei's side and tenderly massaged his shoulders.

"Alright, I won't hold it against you this time, but don't do such dangerous things next time."

Looking at Hao Chen's small appearance, Maomao Lei treated him as a playful child and didn't scold him too much.

Seeing that Cat Tears was no longer angry, Hao Chen immediately seized the opportunity and said with a grin, "Um, I'm Pixiu, you can call me Hao Chen. I'm currently staying at the Deer Man Inn. What about you?"

"My name is Cat Tears 11, and I am a kind of cat."

After Cat Tears said her name, Hao Chen pretended to be puzzled, scratching his head and saying, "Cat Tears?! I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before."

Just as Hao Chen had predicted, Cat Tears was immediately drawn to his words and asked curiously, "Oh, little guy, where did you hear this name?"

Hao Chen scratched his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "I remember now, I've heard my online boyfriend mention this name?"

"Online dating partner???"

Cat Tears looked puzzled. As a mythical beast that had lived for a long time, it did not always live in the wild and occasionally went to human cities. Therefore, it naturally knew what Hao Chen meant by "online dating partner".

What Cat Tears couldn't understand was that Hao Chen looked so young, probably not even an adult yet, so why was he having an online romance?

Could it be that I've lived too long and can't keep up with the times? Or have I misjudged him? Is Hao Chen not a minor beast, but an adult beast that's just deliberately shrinking?

Just as Maomao Lei was still thinking, Hao Chen suddenly said to her, "By the way, my online boyfriend is called Pan Hu. He's a very beautiful big dog. He's supposedly a very famous mythical beast. I don't know if you've heard of him."

"Who? Who did you say your boyfriend is?" Cat Tears asked in disbelief.

"Panhu, it's just a pretty dog ​​with a colorful tail and a CD on the back of its head."

After Hao Chen described Pan Hu's characteristics, Cat Tears recalled a kind dog he had met in his ninth life, named Pan Hu.

He had deceived Panhu about something back then, so Panhu left him in a fit of anger. Unexpectedly, Panhu has now found a partner.

"You said your boyfriend's name is Panhu? What proof do you have?" Cat Tears panted heavily, her paws gripping Haochen's shoulders tightly.

Seeing Cat Tears' expression, Hao Chen chuckled inwardly. What an easy-to-fool silly cat! Judging from Cat Tears' behavior, she clearly doesn't know the truth.

Thinking of this, Hao Chen took out his phone, opened the dating app on it, and showed his Pan Hu account.

The reason he added Panhu's account was because Panhu was one of his major clients, who specifically commissioned him to customize various cat teardrop plush toys. He added Panhu as a friend to make it easier to contact him.

Unexpectedly, Hao Chen used this to provoke Cat Tears.

Cat Tears still held onto a sliver of hope, but when she saw Panhu's profile picture on Haochen's phone, she felt as if the sky had fallen.

The cat lay sprawled on the ground like a puddle of water, radiating sadness.

"Cat Tears, do you have to be so dramatic? All I did was show you my online boyfriend."

Hao Chen secretly wiped away his sweat, feeling that he had gone too far this time. He had only wanted to provoke Cat Tears and then use the return of Panhu Lake as a condition to make him listen to him these days.

However, it seems that the effect is too good. Given Cat Tears' condition, he probably wouldn't even react if I dragged him home.

However, just as Hao Chen was wondering whether to take Cat Tears back, Cat Tears suddenly darted in front of Hao Chen, grabbed his neck, and shook him repeatedly.

"Give me back my dog, Panpan is mine, you're not allowed to take Panpan from me."

"..." Hao Chen struggled to break free from Cat Tears, took a deep breath of fresh air, and cursed the silly cat in his heart. Since that's how it is, don't blame yourself.

Hao Chen felt a little guilty for deceiving Maomao Lei like that, and wondered if he should be honest and explain to Maomao Lei that he was just joking with him.

But after Cat Tears did that, Hao Chen's last bit of guilt vanished instantly. He thought to himself, "Cat Tears, you asked for this. Unless you agree to let me pet you for ten days or half a month, you won't know the truth."

"Ahem, calm down. This isn't up to me. It's mainly because Pan Hu likes me."

As the saying goes, if you're going to put on an act, you should go all the way. After saying that, Hao Chen didn't forget to give Cat Tears a provocative look: "Cat Tears, judging from your reaction, you wouldn't happen to be the liar Pan Hu was talking about, would you!"

"Liar?!" Cat Tears felt a pang of pain in her heart. Could it be that after all these years, Pan Hu still couldn't forgive her for what she had done back then?

But seeing Hao Chen's ambiguous smile, Maomao Lei quickly shook her head: "How could that be? Pan Hu is my dog, how could I lie to him?"

Hao Chen stared intently at Cat Tears and said, "Really?!"

"Of course." Cat Tears lowered her head guiltily under Hao Chen's gaze, scratching incessantly at the ground with her paws.

Just as Haochen was about to continue teasing Cat Tears, Walnut suddenly ran over in a panic and grabbed Haochen, trying to leave.

"Haochen, come with me quickly, the Qilin has been poisoned and is unconscious."

"Poisoning? What happened? Walnut, don't panic."

Walnut's words startled Hao Chen. How could he have been poisoned out of the blue? He quickly followed Walnut to find the Four-Unlikes.

Cat Tears leaned against the periwinkle tree, looking lost and confused. She kept thinking about how Panhu had found a partner. Did he really hate him that much?

The more Mao Mao thought about it, the more chaotic his heart became. He had originally planned to face death calmly, but now he didn't want to die like this. At least, at least before he died, he wanted to find Pan Hu and ask him some questions.

Hao Chen also learned about what happened from Walnut on the way.

Walnut originally took Shota to catch loaches for a snack, but they ended up encountering a black loach that called itself Balingjun.

Walnut then took him to the Four-Unlikes, but Balingjun was too small, and the Four-Unlikes accidentally stepped on Balingjun, resulting in Balingjun biting him and poisoning him.

Walnut panicked when it saw that the four-legged creature was poisoned. Without thinking much, it quickly went to find someone to help, and it happened to find Haochen.

After listening to Walnut's explanation, Hao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Since it was Baling Jun who bit him, he would have a way to treat it. However, just to be on the safe side, he should still go and see him.
