There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 160 Distributing Food

Seeing that he had a connection with the Four Symbols and was quite fond of them, Yuanshi Tianzun left some treasures for Tianlu and the others before leaving, as a way to establish a good relationship.

Therefore, when Tianlu woke up, looking at the treasures in front of him, his mind was filled with the aroma of food. He kept drooling and had an urge to eat them as soon as possible.

"Look, Bie Xie! So many golden balls and red tree branches! They look so delicious! *slurp*"

Bixie kept swallowing, even though he was also very hungry. He kept his mouth shut and looked at Tianlu beside him, thinking that with these treasures, Tianlu should be able to eat for a while.

Tianlu excitedly picked up a golden ball, swallowed it in one gulp, then patted his stomach and said contentedly, "Sibuxiang, thanks to you for finding so much food this time, I don't have to worry about going hungry anymore."

The Four-Unlikes were focused entirely on Bixie at that moment. When they realized that only Tianlu was eating, while Bixie showed no intention of eating at all, they were surprised.

He couldn't help but think: Why isn't Little Plum Blossom eating? His body can't handle this. Is he worried about not having enough food, so he wants to save it all for Little Blue Circle?

Thinking that his little plum blossom was hungry, the Four-Faced Beast quietly walked towards the Evil-Slaying Demon, and used its claws to block Tianlu from eating all the food.

"Little Plum Blossom, I don't want to eat these, you all eat them."

After saying this, the Four-Unlikes took a golden ball and tried to put it into the mouth of the Pixie, but the Pixie blocked it with its claws.

Bixie took the golden ball from the Four-Faced Beast and put it back: "Four-Faced Beast, I'm not hungry right now, I'll eat later."

"Little Plum Blossom, you haven't eaten for days. You always give the food to Little Blue Circle. Your body won't be able to take it if you keep doing this."

Having his actions exposed by the Four-Faced Beast, Bixie lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly: "I...I'm fine, I'm not hungry yet."

But the next moment, Bixie's stomach rumbled at an inopportune time, making Bixie even more embarrassed.

When Tianlu heard that Bixie hadn't eaten for several days, especially when he heard Bixie's stomach growling in protest, he immediately became anxious and quickly picked up the largest golden ball: "Bixie, here's a golden ball for you to eat."

"Tianlu, I can still hold on, you eat... Ugh!!"

Bixie wanted to say something, but the moment he opened his mouth, Tianlu stuffed the golden ball into it.

Under Tianlu's insistence, Bixie had no choice but to swallow the golden ball in his mouth. However, Bixie stubbornly said, "Tianlu, you can eat it. I can fill my stomach by eating evil spirits."

The Four-Unlikes often went out to find food, so it naturally knew the situation in the vicinity. Therefore, after hearing Bixie's words, it spoke the truth without hesitation: "Little Plum Blossom, there are no evil spirits around here at all."

When Bixie mentioned evil spirits, Tianlu gave him a disgusted look: "Bixie, those things don't taste good. Golden Balls are much better."

“You, Si Bu Xiang…” Bi Xie glared at Si Bu Xiang reproachfully, as if blaming him for being too talkative.

The Four-Unlikes didn't care about Bixie's blame. As long as his plum blossoms were alright, he didn't care if he was blamed!

"Little Plum Blossom, after we finish eating these, we have to leave this mountain."

Sibuxiang stopped Tianlu, who was trying to steal food again, and then looked at Bixie and Tianlu with a serious expression: "I have searched everywhere, and there is nothing to eat on the mountain."

Tianlu frowned, then looked at the Four-Faced Beast with a determined gaze: "Four-Faced Beast, how many times have I told you, we're not leaving. If you want to leave, then leave. We're going to settle down here."

"Tsk!" Four-Faced Man said helplessly, "Little Blue Circle, I didn't realize you were so stubborn."

Si Bu Xiang originally wanted Bi Xie to persuade Tian Lu, but he saw that Bi Xie's eyes were fixed on Tian Lu, as if he wouldn't leave unless Tian Lu left.

Si Bu Xiang felt somewhat helpless, thinking to himself, "Why is Little Plum Blossom following Little Blue Circle's nonsense?"

However, since neither Little Plum Blossom nor Little Blue Circle intends to leave, we need to consider the next steps.

Thinking of this, the Four-Faced Beast discussed with Bixie and Tianlu, "Little Plum Blossom and Little Blue Circle, since you don't plan to leave, we should eat these golden balls sparingly until we find a food source."

At this point, the Four-Faced Beast emphasized, "If we haven't found any new food after we finish eating all this, then we'll have to leave whether we like it or not."

After thinking for a moment, Bixie nodded in agreement. He knew that staying here long-term wouldn't do them any good, since there really wasn't much food.

Seeing that Tianlu still wanted to object, Sibuxiang spoke first: "Little Blue Circle, you can stay at my house. If you want to visit your friends, I'll bring you over. I'm super fast, I can travel a thousand miles a day without any problem."

"Tianlu, let's listen to Sibuxiang."

Finally, after much persuasion from Sibuxiang and Bixie, Tianlu had no choice but to nod in agreement: "This... alright! I understand."

Tianlu knew that Si Buxiang was doing it for their own good, but the thought of leaving this place inevitably made him feel a little frustrated.

Sibuxiang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Bixie and Tianlu had chosen to compromise.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's make a plan: how many balls do you need to eat a day so you don't starve?"

The Four-Faced Beast rummaged through the treasures on the ground: "We'll eat this portion today, save this one for tomorrow... This one's for Little Plum Blossom, and this one's for Little Blue Circle..."

Tianlu stared at the treasures on the ground, his mouth watering. He muttered to himself, "One or two a day... no, three, I guess."

Finally, after much effort from Sibuxiang and Bixie, the food arrangements were finally completed.

As Tianlu ate the golden ball, he said sadly to Bixie, "Bixie, in the end it's still only one a day... I'm not full at all."

Bixie explained helplessly, "Tianlu, don't be sad. This way we can hold on a little longer."

After hearing this, Tianlu could only eat the golden ball that day. Then, he touched his still empty stomach and said unconvinced, "Bixie, I'm going out to find some food. I don't believe there's nothing else to eat."

Bixie kept a close eye on Tianlu's movements. When Tianlu looked away, Bixie quietly put the golden ball in its mouth without swallowing it.

He thought that if he put his portion back into the food, Tianlu could eat more.

While Tianlu went out to find food, Bixie came to where they had put the food, quickly spat out the golden ball in his mouth, and mixed it with the other food.

After some time, Tianlu still hadn't discovered what Bixie had done and was still wondering how there was still so much food.

Although the Four-Unlikes discovered that Bixie always left the food for Tianlu, they had no choice but to remain silent due to Bixie's insistence.

However, the Four-Faced Beast worked even harder to find food, fearing that if the Evil-Slaying Beast continued like this, its body would eventually give out.

Just as Bixie was spitting today's golden ball back into the ball pile, a voice suddenly rang out behind him: "Bixie, you can't do this. A good child should eat obediently."

Upon hearing the voice, Bixie immediately turned around warily, but upon seeing that it was Haochen, he excitedly ran towards Haochen and touched foreheads with him: "Xiao Hao, you're back?"

"Yes, after I came back, I heard from Shi Qilin that you and Tianlu had been here for a while. I thought there probably wasn't much food here, so I brought some food from Shi Qilin's house. It seems I was right."

As Hao Chen spoke, he snapped his fingers, and a pile of golden balls immediately appeared on the ground.

Bixie was surprised that Haochen would bring so much food, and didn't react for a moment.

Seeing Bixie's stunned expression, Hao Chen felt a mischievous urge. He picked up a golden ball and walked up to Bixie.

Then, before Bixie could react, Haochen grabbed Bixie and sat down cross-legged, letting Bixie sit on his lap.

"Haochen, what are you doing?! Let me go!"

Hao Chen ignored Bi Xie's words and instead, like coaxing a child to eat, he held the golden ball and spun it around in front of Bi Xie a few times: "Hehe, Bi Xie baby, come on, open your mouth, the little ball is here."

Upon seeing this, Bixie's face showed a mixture of speechlessness, shame, anger, and a touch of amusement.

"Okay, I can eat it myself, bring it here."

Bixie rolled over, got off Haochen, and quickly took the golden ball from Haochen's paw and started eating it. He didn't want to be treated like a baby.

Seeing the change in Bixie's expression, Haochen smiled and said, "Bixie, you're so cute."

"Haochen!!!" Bixie raised his voice, trying his best to look angry.

Seeing this, Hao Chen also pretended to be frightened: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, Bixie."

Immediately afterwards, Hao Chen revealed his purpose: to take Bixie and Tianlu to the Sibuxiang family first.

Just then, Tianlu, who had gone out to find food, returned, looking dejected, lying on the back of the Sibyl.

It goes without saying that Tianlu's condition meant Haochen and Bixie could guess that he hadn't found any food.

When the Four-Unlikes returned, it saw Hao Chen beside Bixie, and excitedly shook its body, saying to Tianlu on its back, "Little Blue Circle, look who's here."

Upon hearing Si Bu Xiang's words, Tian Lu looked up in the direction of Bi Xie and saw Hao Chen as well, instantly becoming excited.

"Four-Unlikes, quick, let's go down! Hao Chen is here; he must have food there."

Hao Chen, who was below, heard what Tian Lu said to Si Bu Xiang and was speechless. He hadn't expected that he was just a food provider in Tian Lu's eyes.

However, Hao Chen quickly adjusted his mindset. As long as he could stay by the side of the adorable Tian Lu, what did a little food matter? He would just consider it as him supporting Tian Lu.

All I can say is that Haochen knows how to comfort himself.
