There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 150 The Present World - Busy Haochen

Thanks to the efforts of the Qilin, Rabbit God, and Tianlu, the Qilin eggs under their bellies soon hatched successfully.

"They're so cute! I want to hug them!"

This was Hao Chen's first time witnessing the hatching of a Qilin. He looked at the three little Qilins with great interest, feeling a little restless.

The Qilin carefully picked up the little Qilin it had hatched, but suddenly noticed a star on the little Qilin's belly.

"I hatched a green one... and why does it have a star on its belly?"

The Qilin explained from the side, "Hatching eggs depends on magic power. Those with stronger magic power will hatch more stars."

It would have been better if he hadn't explained it, because once he did, the four-no-like creature felt a pang of discomfort, and his face darkened. Wasn't Shi Qilin's words implying that he was a weakling?

What made the four-legged creature even more upset was that Rabbit Lord actually came over carrying the little Qilin he had hatched, showing off: "Look, four-legged creature, my Qilin has three stars on its belly."

Shi Qilin also praised from the side, "Wow, three stars! Not bad, young man!"

"That's right, I haven't wasted all these years in the mortal realm!"

Upon hearing this, Rabbit was overjoyed and felt extremely grateful for his past diligent cultivation. If he hadn't worked hard back then, how could he have performed so well in front of the Qilin?

Rabbit Lord thought that the four-legged creature would also think it was very powerful, and it would be best if it could praise itself.

Little did the four-legged creature know that as it watched the rabbit smugly acting, veins were bulging on its forehead, and it felt an urge to kick him.

Hao Chen covered his mouth and chuckled to himself, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

For him, whether or not the four-legged creature is a substitute for the four-legged creature, he will treat them all equally, since they all fit Hao Chen's cuteness.

He simply didn't know the significance of Shi Qilin's actions.

Logically speaking, given the strength of the First Qilin, the so-called Pixiu Heart Lock should have no effect on him at all. Could it really just be a joke?

Just as Hao Chen was still pondering the purpose of the First Qilin, Tian Lu, holding the little Qilin he had hatched, asked, "What about mine? What about mine? Is the black one powerful?"

The first Qilin didn't care at first, but when it saw the little Qilin that Tianlu was holding, its eyes lit up: "Wow, it's the Seven Star Guardian Qilin - Black Gold Edition, super rare!"

"Delicious!" Upon hearing this, Tianlu licked the little Qilin's cheek and looked at the Qilin and Rabbit Lord with a smug expression, as if to say: How about that, I'm still the best, right?

Both the Qilin and the Rabbit Lord couldn't hold back their emotions after hearing what the Qilin said.

"It's fake! It's all fake! You must have cheated! How could I be the weakest?"

"Exactly! How could I, the master, lose to a dog?!"

Seeing how excited the Qilin and the Rabbit Lord were, the First Qilin calmly took out a few more Qilin eggs: "How about another round? I still have a lot of eggs left."

The four-legged creature's lips twitched, and it quickly shook its head to refuse the Qilin's words. It didn't want to continue to lose face.

Rabbit Lord felt the same way. In his mind, it was already shameful enough to be inferior to Tianlu, but to be shameful in front of the Four-Faced Beast made him, who considered himself an elite among rabbits, feel defeated.

Hao Chen seemed to have seen through Rabbit Lord's thoughts and laughed from the side: "Rabbit Lord, Tianlu is not a real dog. He is a genuine divine beast Pixiu. Although he is not at his peak now, it is not shameful for you to be inferior to him."

"Haochen, is this how you comfort people?!" Although Rabbit knew Haochen was right, he felt even more upset.

"Haha, don't mind it."

Just as Hao Chen was laughing happily, Shi Qilin turned to look at him and said, "Little Chenchen, look, the little blue circle has hatched seven stars. Do you want to give it a try? Maybe you can hatch a super rare mutated Qilin!"

"Stop, Qilin. I'm not falling for your tricks. I'm not going to be your free babysitter."

As Hao Chen spoke, he noticed that Walnut, who had been in his arms, was about to slip away. He quickly grabbed Walnut by the tail and pulled him back: "Where are you going, little Walnut?"

"Hey, Walnut wants to pee."

"Don't think I don't know you're trying to escape by peeing right here." Hao Chen pointed to the bushes behind him.

Walnut glared at Haochen with dissatisfaction, then obediently lay down in front of Haochen and accepted his torment.

"That's a good boy!" Seeing how well-behaved Walnut was, Haochen decided to add an extra hour to the time he spent picking walnuts today.

However, Hao Chen was also a little troubled. There were too many people around, making him embarrassed to pick up the little walnuts.

As they watched Hao Chen's skillful movements, Si Bu Xiang, Tu Ye, and Tian Lu silently felt grateful for Walnut's sacrifice. If Walnut hadn't offered her body, they might have been the ones to suffer at Hao Chen's hands.

Only Fuzi looked at Walnut with concern, wondering if, had he taken Walnut away earlier and not stayed to watch the show, would Haochen have kept Walnut there?

Seeing this scene, Shi Qilin felt a sense of familiarity, thinking that no matter how Hao Chen changed, his quirks remained the same.

"But we've come all this way, so we can't just leave empty-handed. How about we try to see if little Tianlu still remembers the 'Bixie' (a type of magic weapon)?"

Thinking this, Shi Qilin said to Tianlu, "Little Blue Circle, why don't we let that person try too? Maybe they can hatch an ultra-rare Qilin."

"Who is it?!" Tianlu tilted his head, looking puzzled.

At this moment, Hao Chen noticed the bluebird flying over from the side and was about to remind Shi Qilin to be careful with his words.

But before Hao Chen could remind him, Shi Qilin prompted, "It's Xiao Mei..."

But Hao Chen wasn't the only one who noticed the bluebird; the Qilin also saw it flying towards them.

When the Qilin heard that the Qilin seemed to be talking to Tianlu about warding off evil, the Qilin's expression clearly became flustered.

"Oh no, we can't let the First Qilin mention the Evil-Repelling Sword. Otherwise, if Pipi remembers something, it will be terrible. The Heavenly Court might take action."

The Qilin shoved the little Qilin in its arms into Rabbit Lord's arms, then stepped on the ground and instantly arrived in front of the First Qilin. Before the First Qilin could finish speaking, it kicked him hard in the face.

"Silent hooves, farewell, Daddy!"

As Hao Chen watched the First Qilin fly away, he could vaguely hear the First Qilin cursing the unfilial son. Hao Chen thought to himself that the First Qilin deserved it. He still wanted to take advantage of him. He got his comeuppance!

"You're so filial, you four-legged creature!" Hao Chen said, giving the four-legged creature a thumbs up.

"What are you talking about? I have nothing to do with him."

Just then, Rabbit God walked over carrying two Qilin: "Qilin, you kicked their father away, what are we going to do now?"

"Huh?! This...that..."

The Qilin only then remembered that there were still three little Qilins, and immediately looked to Haochen and Rabbit for help. As for Tianlu, forget about it, he still had to take care of him himself.

Hao Chen immediately shook his head and refused. He was joking. He didn't want to take care of children. He would rather spend his time rubbing against a few fluffy creatures.

When Rabbit Lord saw that the Four-Faced Beast was in a difficult situation, he volunteered to take care of the three little Qilin until the First Qilin returned.

After discussing it, the four creatures decided to name the three little Qilin. At Haochen's suggestion, they named them based on the number of stars on the little Qilin's belly.

They are a green Qilin with one star on its belly (41 stars), a gray Qilin rabbit with three stars, and a black Qilin skin with seven stars.

After naming the little Qilin, Haochen suddenly remembered something.

"The Four-Unlikes, why haven't I seen Eight-Jin Two-Ounce and the others lately?"

"They've been taking care of their newborn brother lately and haven't had time to come over. Is there something you need them for?"

Hao Chen nodded, then took out a rubber band and said, "Last time I went to the capital, I saw that Nezha had a familiar rubber band, so I borrowed it to take a look."

"A rubber band?!" The Qilin examined the rubber band in Hao Chen's hand. It was one of Nezha's collections. It immediately made a guess in its mind: Could this be the father of the cat dragons?

Seeing the questioning look in the four-legged creature's eyes, Hao Chen nodded: "The four-legged creature is just what you think. This is part of Er Liang's father."

neither fish nor fowl:"……"

"Alright, Haochen, give me the rubber band. I'll notify Maolong and the others to come and get the rubber band... to get their dad's back."

Hao Chen breathed a sigh of relief after giving the rubber band to the Qilin. He had finally fulfilled the promise he had made earlier.

But just as Hao Chen had finished eating the walnuts and was about to mock the Qilin, the Qilin suddenly called out to him.

"What's wrong, you four-legged creature? Is there something else?"

"Haochen, if you have time, go to the Phoenix family. They're having a huge fight because of you, and the Phoenix Emperor is even thinking about retiring."

"What's going on? What does this have to do with me?"

"I heard it's because Phoenix's eldest and second sons are vying for his favor," the Qilin whispered in Hao Chen's ear.

Hao Chen was a little confused. He wasn't some neighborhood committee auntie who was responsible for mediating family relationships.

But since the four-legged creature said that the matter was caused by him, he still planned to find some time to go and see for himself, as a way to prepare for his departure.

Thinking about it this way, Haochen suddenly realized that there were still many things he hadn't done.

Later, I need to find Shi Qilin and return his son to him; tomorrow I need to send Fuzai to catch a flight; I also need to resolve Fenghuang's family conflicts; and I even need to find time to bathe Tianlu and the others.
