There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 145 The Present World - Chaotic Relationships

After bidding farewell to Bai Ze, the First Qilin rode on auspicious clouds and drifted away towards the Caiyun Mountains.

However, time flies, and the world has undergone tremendous changes.

This caused the First Qilin to be like a lone boat lost in a vast ocean, momentarily disoriented, and it took several more days to reach the Rainbow Cloud Mountains.

The moment the Qilin stepped onto the Rainbow Cloud Mountain Range, he keenly sensed that the Rainbow Cloud Mountain Range was like a dazzling pearl, exuding a rich spiritual energy.

For the increasingly declining mythical beast race, this is undoubtedly a rare and precious paradise.

"Alas, I never imagined that the once prosperous and powerful divine beast race would be reduced to eking out a living in this remote corner after that earth-shattering war with the Heavenly Court and the Gods." The First Qilin couldn't help but sigh with emotion, as the past glory vanished like fleeting clouds.

Back then, he was injured by the Jade Kirin and had no choice but to live in seclusion with it, healing his wounds through slumber.

As a result, when he awoke from his slumber ahead of schedule, he heard that during his sleep, the entire world had been at war with the Heavenly Court and the Gods, forcing countless forces to get involved and fight each other.

These Qilins didn't care, but what terrified him was that the aura of his beloved son, the Four-Faced Beast, had vanished without a trace, as if a stone had sunk into the sea.

Moreover, not only could he not sense the presence of the Four-Faced Beast, but he also couldn't sense the presence of Little Plum Blossom, Little Blue Circle, and Little Hao Chen who were following the Four-Faced Beast.

After a difficult search, Shi Qilin heard a rumor from the Heavenly Court: his eldest son, Si Bu Xiang, was cruelly killed by the Pixiu clan, and even his body was devoured.

The First Qilin suddenly felt dizzy, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant.

He couldn't imagine how he would tell his wife, Yu Qilin, the devastating news when she woke up.

But after calming down and thinking it over carefully, Shi Qilin felt that the rumor was utterly absurd.

Before he and Yu Qilin fell into a deep sleep, the relationship between Si Bu Xiang and Bi Xie was extremely close, so close that Shi Qilin almost thought they were a match made in heaven.

Moreover, Hao Chen's love for the Four-Faced Beast is beyond words; he even likes to sleep with the Four-Faced Beast tightly in his arms.

It was precisely because of the increasingly close relationship between the Four-Unlikes and the Evil-Repelling Beast that Hao Chen no longer relied on the Four-Unlikes as much as before.

All of this made it difficult for Shi Qilin to accept the Heavenly Court's explanation. He absolutely refused to believe that Bixie and Haochen would kill the Four-Unlikes.

In order to find his son, Shi Qilin even went so far as to storm the Heavenly Court, because he suspected that Si Bu Xiang and Xiao Mei Hua had been captured by the Heavenly Court.

Although the Heavenly Court suffered severe damage in the previous battle, Haotian was not seriously injured and was still not someone that Shi Qilin could deal with.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. On his way to find the Four-Faced Beast, he unexpectedly met the Sky-Supporting Tree and learned from him that the Four-Faced Beast and Hao Chen were safe and sound.

This allowed the First Qilin to return to the Jade Qilin's side and continue to sleep with her.

During this time, Shi Qilin also woke up and went out to look for Si Bu Xiang, wanting to see if his son had returned.

Fortunately, this time the First Qilin was not disappointed. He learned from the Sky-Supporting Tree that the Four-Faced Beast had returned.

He seemed to be in a hurry, so he quickly left behind a jade communication stone, asking the Sky-Supporting Tree to deliver it to the Primordial Qilin before leaving.

After the First Qilin received the jade stone that the Four-Unlikes had specially left for him from the Sky-Supporting Tree, he looked at the message inside. But what he saw left him dumbfounded.

Fortunately, he was quite easygoing and quickly accepted the information contained in the jade.

Just as the First Qilin was still reminiscing, a sudden pain came from its tail, interrupting its memories.

"Little Blue Circle, what are you doing?" The First Qilin turned around and looked at Tianlu speechlessly, then forcefully pulled its tail out of Tianlu's mouth.

"Wow, big fat deer, don't run away!"

"Sigh, this child, he wasn't very bright to begin with, and the people of Heaven have turned him into an idiot!!!"

The First Qilin slammed Tianlu to the ground, and no matter how much Tianlu struggled, he couldn't break free. He could only keep threatening the First Qilin.

The First Qilin naturally learned about the Heavenly Court's actions from the jade left to him by the Four Unlikes.

However, the Four-Faced Beasts told him not to worry, and it was best not to interfere, so as to avoid affecting the course of history before Hao Chen's plan succeeded.

Therefore, after that, Shi Qilin never met with Tianlu and the others again.

Upon seeing Tianlu again, Shi Qilin seemed to see the scene of them playing with the Four Imps.

Then, the First Qilin's eyes lit up, and a plan came to mind. He had been wondering how to acknowledge the Four-Faced Beast as family without feeling awkward, and now the opportunity had presented itself.

Shi Qilin pretended to be exhausted and released Tianlu, then ran towards the deer shop in a panic.

"Help! Whose mad dog is this? It bit me!!!" Shi Qilin shouted as he ruffled his fur.

"You're the dog! I'm going to eat you! Stop right there!"

Tianlu hated being called a dog the most, and Shi Qilin's words undoubtedly touched his sore spot. He didn't even have time to think about why Shi Qilin had just pressed him down, and got up to chase after Shi Qilin.

The First Qilin sensed the faint aura of Qilin bloodline ahead and knew that it was its target: the Four-Unlikes, which had inherited the blood and bones of the Four-Unlikes.

"Hehe, good son, Daddy's here to see you." Shi Qilin thought to himself with secret delight, and quickened his pace.

Soon, Shi Qilin saw the antique-style deer-man shop, as well as the four-legged creature and the rabbit god lying at the shop entrance.

Seeing this, the First Qilin pounced and hugged the Four-Legged Beast before it could react: "Son, Daddy's been bullied!"

When Rabbit Lord saw the four-legged creature being hugged by a strange beast, he immediately became somewhat unhappy.

Before Rabbit Lord could say anything, he heard Qilin rub the chest of the Qilin and say to him, "Good son, Daddy has finally found you!"

"Wait, who's your son? Do I have a dad? I don't remember him at all!" The Qilin was startled by the words of the Qilin and quickly tried to recall whether it had a father or not.

Rabbit Lord was initially angry that the Qilin was carrying the Qilin, but after hearing the Qilin claim to be the Qilin's father, his attitude changed completely.

Rabbit thought to himself: That four-legged creature's father, isn't that his own...?

Thinking of this, Rabbit blushed and quickly ran into the house to pour a cup of tea: "Daddy, you must be tired, have some tea first."

Upon hearing Rabbit Lord's words, Shi Qilin jumped off the Qilin and looked at Rabbit Lord and Qilin with a half-smile.

Feeling embarrassed by the stare, the four-legged creature quickly interrupted, "Wait, who are you? Do we know each other?"

Upon hearing the words "Qilin is not like a quail," Shi Qilin's acting skills instantly improved.

The First Qilin said with a dejected look, "Baby, you're so cold!"

As he spoke, tears streamed down the face of the First Qilin, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Shi Qilin wiped away his tears and choked out, "Ever since your mother disappeared, your father has been raising your younger siblings all by himself, despite his old age and failing health."

The Qilin immediately saw through the Qilin's act and said in a flat tone, "Oh, you must have had a lot of trouble."

But Rabbit Lord, wanting to please the First Qilin, quickly stepped forward and grabbed the First Qilin's paw, saying, "Daddy, don't worry, the Four-Faced Beast and I will take care of our younger siblings."

Before Shi Qilin could continue speaking, Tianlu and Haochen's voices could be heard.

"Tianlu, what does that big fat deer you mentioned look like? I have a feeling something's not right about it."

"Don't worry, Haochen, that fat deer is running this way."

When Hao Chen followed Tian Lu to the front of the Qilin, he suddenly caught sight of the First Qilin. Hao Chen jumped three feet high in fright and turned to run away.

Fortunately, Shi Qilin reacted quickly, grabbing Hao Chen's tail and pulling him back: "Little Hao Chen, where are you going? Do you want me to take you home?"

"No need to trouble yourself, I can walk by myself." Hao Chen shook his head frantically; all he wanted to do at that moment was get away from Shi Qilin as quickly as possible.

But Shi Qilin chuckled and said, "Little Hao Chen, what should you call me? Say it so I can hear it."

"I'll call, I'll call, okay?" Hao Chen lay listlessly on the ground, weakly calling out to Shi Qilin, "Grandpa!"

He knew he had lost face terribly today, but he still whispered to Shi Qilin, "Alright, can you let me go now?"

At the same time, Hao Chen hated his original body immensely. If it weren't for that idiot original body's poor cultivation technique, would he have been two generations lower than the Qilin?
