There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 151 The Present World - Mediating Phoenix's Family Affairs

Nestled in a lush grove of phoenix trees stands a two-story villa built of phoenix wood, the home of Phoenix, a superstar in the world of mythical beasts.

The once peaceful sycamore grove has recently become unusually lively, with arguments frequently heard coming from the Phoenix Villa.

As a big star, Phoenix's every move is followed and reported by paparazzi. Therefore, the paparazzi had already investigated the argument in Phoenix's villa thoroughly.

It is also known that since Fenghuang held a concert at Luren Store and found her son Dapeng who had been missing for many years, she has not been able to live the warm life she imagined.

The eldest son, Dapeng, who returned after being missing for many years, and the second son, Kongque, who was showered with love and affection, often openly and secretly competed for the attention and love of the Phoenix.

In order to spend more time with her two sons, Fenghuang gradually had the idea of ​​retiring and repeatedly refused the concerts arranged by her manager, Ge.

Phoenix's behavior naturally angered its manager, Pigeon, because if Phoenix really retired from the entertainment industry, he would lose his job and have to go back to inherit the family's courier company.

In order to avoid losing his job, the agent had no choice but to spend a lot of money to hire the Four-Unlikes from the Deer Man Shop to help him, since the Four-Unlikes also had to bear some responsibility for this matter.

"You can rest assured that this matter is handled by our Deer Man Shop."

The four-legged creature looked at the six-figure transfer record on its phone with satisfaction, and confidently patted its chest, assuring its agent, Pigeon, that it would definitely resolve the issue of Phoenix's withdrawal from the entertainment industry.

"What do you plan to do about the four-legged creature? I heard that after Phoenix's other son, Peacock, learned that Phoenix and Dapeng had returned home, he moved in with Phoenix from his mother's place. He even had a huge fight with Dapeng over who would be the best match for her."

Rabbit couldn't help but worry about Phoenix's family affairs. After all, if it were so easy to resolve, Phoenix could probably handle it herself, and it wouldn't have come to the point where news of her retirement was circulating.

The four-legged creature didn't care about this, or rather, it already had a plan.

"I have a brilliant plan. The one who tied the knot must untie it. Just wait and see."

Seeing that the Four-Faced Beast looked unfathomable, Rabbit Lord thought it had some good ideas, but then he saw the Four-Faced Beast call Hao Chen over.

"Haochen, here's the situation. I'm leaving the Phoenix matter to you. Get it done quickly, understand?"

After Hao Chen understood the task that the Four-Unlikes had given him, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at the Four-Unlikes. He thought to himself that the Four-Unlikes had a good plan. He was sure that the Four-Unlikes had received a lot of rewards and just wanted him to do his work for free.

"I'm sorry, Qilin, but this divine beast is not a philanthropist. I'm too busy to do these irrelevant things."

After Hao Chen finished speaking, he turned to leave. He thought it would be better to use this time to think about how to make money legally.

Recently, for some reason, the Xie Zhi (a mythical beast) found out that he had arranged for Qiong Qi to harass him, and it has been keeping a close eye on him, making him afraid to pursue many of his money-making schemes.

The Four-Faced Beast was not surprised by Hao Chen's answer; on the contrary, it was as if everything was exactly as he had expected.

The four-legged creature feigned regret, saying, "Alas, since you're busy, Haochen, there's nothing I can do. I was originally thinking of taking you and Pipi to a hot spring after you finished your work..."

"Hot springs?! And a Qilin?! And Tianlu?!" Hao Chen twitched his ears, and after confirming that he hadn't misheard, his eyes lit up instantly.

In an instant, Hao Chen seemed to teleport, grabbing the paw of the four-legged creature: "Four-legged creature, why are you being so polite? I am, after all, an employee of the Deer Man Shop. Leave the Phoenix matter to me, you can rest assured."

"Oh, Haochen, that's not what you said just now." Seeing that Haochen had taken the bait, the Four-Faced Beast kept Haochen in suspense.

"Hehe, I was wrong, you four-legged creature. Just let me do this task. I can give you a massage, and I can even let you pat my head when you play mahjong..."

Seeing that Hao Chen had already put it this way, the Four-Faced Beast pretended to be reluctant and said, "Alright, then this task is yours. Don't mess it up."

"Don't worry, I guarantee the mission will be completed perfectly." Hao Chen clenched his paws and said firmly.

Then Hao Chen asked again, "That strange creature, about the hot spring..."

Do I look like someone who would lie to you?

Hao Chen thought to himself, although the Four-Unlikes is greedy, it still keeps its word. Since the Four-Unlikes has said so, then the hot spring must be real.

With the assurance from the four-legged creature, Hao Chen began to fantasize in his mind about himself, the four-legged creature, and Tianlu taking a bath in the same pool. Maybe he would have the opportunity to openly help them scrub their backs, hehehe!

Seeing the drool dripping from Hao Chen's mouth, the four-legged creature knew that Hao Chen was thinking about some random things again.

"Sober Hoof - Go!" The Qilin kicked Hao Chen hard in the stomach, sending him flying. "Go and come back soon, don't forget the mission."

"Pfft~ You just wait~" Hao Chen's voice came faintly from high in the sky.

Seeing that the task had been handed over to Hao Chen, the Four-Faced Beast breathed a sigh of relief. With Hao Chen there, it wouldn't need to get involved anymore.

The next moment, the Qilin saw Rabbit Lord squatting in the corner drawing circles: "Rabbit Lord, what are you doing?"

"Sisi, why didn't you take me to the bath? Don't you like me anymore?" Rabbit said aggrievedly.

Upon hearing Rabbit Lord's words, the Four-Faced Beast's forehead veins bulged. Where did this Rabbit Lord get so much drama?

"No one's stopping you from taking a bath. Come along if you want. It's over by Wamao, not far from here."

"Really, Four-Unlikes, are you inviting me? I knew you wouldn't abandon me, Four-Unlikes."

"Stop it, don't kiss me, you disgusting rabbit."

On the other side, after being kicked away by the Qilin, Hao Chen patted his butt and headed straight for the Phoenix Royal Palace, following the directions given by the Qilin.

Looking at the luxurious sycamore wood villa in front of him, Hao Chen cursed the evil capitalists under his breath, but still rang the doorbell.

But it wasn't the Phoenix, nor the Roc or the Peacock that opened the door; instead, it was the First Qilin.

"Shi Qilin, it's you? Isn't this the Phoenix Royal Family?"

Hao Chen took a few steps back, looking at the nameplate on the door that clearly read "Phoenix," confirming that he hadn't come to the wrong place.

Shi Qilin happily pulled Hao Chen's paw: "Oh, it's little Chenchen! Come in and sit down!"

"Come on, you still haven't told me how you ended up in the Phoenix Royal Family!!"

Although Hao Chen said he was disgusted, he still let Shi Qilin pull him into the house.

As soon as Hao Chen entered the house, he saw Feng Huang dozing on a pile of paulownia leaves.

Hao Chen wanted to wake up the Phoenix and explain his purpose, but before he could do so, he sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat heavy and there seemed to be a faint killing intent in the air. The source of the killing intent was obviously the roc and peacock in front of him.

"It seems things aren't as easy as I thought. This is really troublesome. I should have known better than to take on this mission."

Hao Chen was somewhat helpless. If it weren't for the temptation of taking a bath, he would never have wanted to take on this arduous task.

"Ahem, you two, don't you see the guests have arrived? As the hosts, shouldn't you greet them first?" Hao Chen walked between Da Peng and Kong Que with an air of superiority.

"Who do you think you are, guest? You're the one who asked Daddy to bring this stinky blond guy home, right? I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you've already come here on your own." Peacock's gaze towards Haochen was full of hostility, as if she regarded him as one of Dapeng's accomplices.

"Tch, do you think I wanted to come? If he hadn't begged me to come back, I wouldn't want to see you at all!" Dapeng said, glancing furtively at the Phoenix dozing beside him. He was relieved to see that the Phoenix hadn't been woken up.

Hao Chen was annoyed by the peacock's retort, but for the sake of the mission, he gritted his teeth and said, "I said you're all brothers, there's no need to act like enemies."

Upon hearing Hao Chen's words, Da Peng and Kong Que glared at each other and said in unison, "Who is his brother?"

"I don't have a brother like that." x2

"Don't mimic me." x2

Hao Chen just wanted to give up at this moment. He really didn't know how to persuade him. He subconsciously looked at Shi Qilin, thinking that Shi Qilin was experienced and might have some solutions.

The Qilin blinked at Haochen and said with a smile, "Hey, little Chenchen, do you need my help? Just call me Grandpa again and I'll hear it."

"Get lost, Shi Qilin. Believe me or not, if you dare mention this again, I'll spank you."

Looking at the shrunken Qilin, Hao Chen still couldn't connect it with the mature, steady, and peaceful Qilin that had grown up. He felt that the little Qilin was completely childish.

The Qilin completely ignored Hao Chen's words and instead whispered its idea into Hao Chen's ear, which made Hao Chen's eyes light up.

"Shi Qilin, you're so smart. We'll do it your way." After hearing Shi Qilin's idea, Hao Chen hugged Shi Qilin tightly, his paws wandering over Shi Qilin's back, taking the opportunity to collect some interest.

The Qilin didn't mind Hao Chen's little actions and patted Hao Chen's paw: "Alright, that's enough, there are other people here."

"If there's no one else around, does that mean I can touch whatever I want?"

Hao Chen was in a great mood and started joking with Shi Qilin, leaving Shi Qilin speechless.

Then Hao Chen walked towards Da Peng and Kong Que with an unfriendly expression, directly interrupting their eye contact.

"Come out with me, I have something to say to you."

"Who do you think you are, daring to order me around?"

"I don't listen to anyone except Daddy."

Seeing Dapeng and Kongque's attitude, Haochen immediately took action, his claws emitting a hazy light, grabbing their necks and instantly imprisoning their divine power, then leading them towards the door.

"What are you doing? Let me go! Old man, help me!"

"Daddy, someone is bullying me."

The First Qilin covered its mouth and chuckled, and thoughtfully opened and closed the door for Hao Chen. It even went to the dozing Phoenix and set up a small soundproofing array.

Soon, screams of agony from the roc and the peacock rang out from outside the door, accompanied by Hao Chen's reprimands.

"Do you still dare to fight?"

"I won't dare again." x2

"Do you still dare to quarrel with your brothers?"

"I won't dare again." x2

"Do you still dare to cause your father any more trouble?"

"I won't dare again." x2

"Do you dare steal my treasure again?"

"Hey, what do you mean 'your treasure'? This was a gift from the old man."

"That's right, you shameless person, you stole the gift my dad gave me."

"Yes, I said this is mine, do you have a problem with that?!"

With a series of crackling sounds, Hao Chen patted his broad chest contentedly and went back into the house, while Da Peng and the peacock followed obediently behind Hao Chen with their heads drooping and feathers slightly disheveled.

"It's solved!" Shi Qilin asked with certainty.

Hao Chen nodded: "Shi Qilin, thank you for your idea this time, but you still haven't told me how you ended up in the Phoenix Royal Family?"

"Oh, Phoenix and I are old friends. I've come to ask him for a favor this time," Shi Qilin replied calmly.

"Help?" Hao Chen looked curiously at the dozing phoenix, but was surprised to see an egg under the phoenix's belly.

Hao Chen pointed at the Qilin egg under the phoenix's belly: "This is the help you were talking about?!"

It's unclear how the First Qilin managed to persuade the Roc and the Peacock to let the Qilin egg incubate under the Phoenix's belly while the Phoenix was dozing off.

"Oh dear, isn't it because the Phoenix has high magical power that the Qilin hatched from it is of good quality? It's all because Xiao Hao didn't help incubate the eggs."

"Never mind you. Now that things are resolved, I'll head back. See you later."

After saying goodbye to Shi Qilin, Hao Chen looked at Dapeng and Kongque, who were huddled to the side: "Did you remember what I said? From now on, the Phoenix will be with Dapeng on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and with Kongque on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. On Sundays, the Phoenix can choose freely. Don't disturb his acting career anymore. Do you understand?"

"I heard you." Dapeng nodded first. In his mind, he was, after all, the lead singer of a heavy metal band. At worst, he could have a business collaboration with his father. He would definitely spend more time with his father than Peacock, who was just a pretty face.

Peacock remained silent, but clearly accepted Hao Chen's arrangement. He had no choice; his strength didn't allow him to refuse. He could only try to get rid of Da Peng later; he wouldn't allow his father to be taken away.

Having completed his mission, Hao Chen was preparing to return to the Deer Man Shop to find the Four-Faced Beast and fulfill his contract.

On his way back, Hao Chen saw a clump of moving straw. The familiar scent made Hao Chen immediately recognize it as the straw dog that hadn't appeared in a long time.

Hao Chen stepped forward and greeted him, "Chu Gou, what are you doing?"

The straw dog stopped when it heard the voice, turned around and saw that it was Hao Chen. It immediately became excited: "You heartless boss, give me back my money!"
