There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 127 The Present World - The Attack of Qiongqi

Hao Chen had been away from the Xie Zhi for a long time, which displeased the Xie Zhi. To avoid being gored by the Xie Zhi's long horns, Hao Chen was avoiding it.

Just as Hao Chen was secretly pleased that the Xie Zhi had passed by the bushes where he was hiding without noticing him, he suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'll never do it again, please don't push me anymore..." Hao Chen was so frightened that he tucked his tail between his legs, covered his head, and lay on the ground begging for mercy.

But after waiting for a while, Hao Chen not only didn't feel the sensation of being gored by the Xie Zhi and having his body shed tears, but instead heard snickers behind him.

Hao Chen turned his head curiously and saw Tian Lu standing behind him with the little fire dragon, covering his mouth and chuckling.

"Tianlu, what are you laughing at?"

Being caught doing something embarrassing made Hao Chen's face turn somewhat ugly. He secretly thought to himself that these two guys were definitely laughing at him just now, and he had to find a chance to let Tian Lu know how terrifying the plush toy fetish was.

The little dragon was startled when it noticed that Hao Chen's gaze was like that of someone who wanted to kill them. It suddenly dawned on it that no one wants others to see their dark past.

The little fire dragon's laughter stopped abruptly, and it gently kicked Tianlu, who was still mocking Haochen, and whispered, "My brother, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you."

Seeing that Tianlu hadn't reacted yet, Little Fire Dragon awkwardly pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Big brother, I wasn't making fun of you. I was just thinking of something happy."

"Really? What's so happy about it? Tell me so I can share in your joy!"

Hao Chen clenched his claws and walked towards the little dragon with a smile. But to the little dragon, it was the smile of a devil.

"Be gentle, big brother!"

Knowing he couldn't dodge, the little dragon simply lay down, sticking his butt out. Anyway, it was just a few paddles to the left and right; he was used to it, and they wouldn't hurt him.

"Don't worry, I understand!"

Hao Chen sneered and slapped the little fire dragon's buttocks several times without any hesitation.

After Hao Chen finally finished hitting him, the little fire dragon covered its swollen bottom, but looked excited, making Hao Chen wonder if he had hit it too hard.

The little dragon looked at Tianlu with ill intent, thinking that since the two of them had just mocked their older brother and gotten beaten up, their older brother couldn't possibly be biased. He should at least punish Tianlu a little to make it seem fair.

Under the expectant gaze of the little fire dragon, Hao Chen looked at Tian Lu, who was still laughing at Hao Chen's behavior and was not worried at all about what Hao Chen would do to him.

"Haochen, you looked so funny just now. By the way, Haochen, I heard that Xie Zhi has been asking the Qilin about your whereabouts recently. He seemed really angry. What did you do to him? Did you skip class and get scolded again?"

Tianlu's words made Haochen angry but also somewhat helpless. If the little fire dragon had mocked him, he would definitely have taught him a lesson and made him understand what it meant to be a big brother.

But it was Tianlu who mocked him, which made Haochen reluctant to go all out. Fortunately, this was not a problem for Haochen.

Hao Chen instantly tackled Tian Lu to the ground, pinning him down and saying viciously, "Tian Lu, you've gotten bolder lately, daring to laugh at me. It seems it's time to show you what I'm capable of."

Seeing this, the little fire dragon shouted excitedly, "That's right, that's how it is, big brother! Tianlu actually dared to laugh at you! Quickly beat him up, beat him hard!"

But as it turns out, this kind of favoritism does exist, and it's right there in front of Charmander.

After pinning Tianlu down, Haochen skillfully grabbed Tianlu's paws and gently blew on them. Then he took out a feather from his own body and began one of his favorite activities—scratching Tianlu's paws.

"Haha~ Haochen, I was wrong, stop tickling me, it's too itchy, hahaha~"

Amidst Tianlu's laughter, the little fire dragon walked away dejectedly: "Sigh, big brother is still biased after all! I'm so angry!"

The little dragon touched its smooth skin, reflecting on whether it had made a mistake from the start and whether it should change its appearance.

"Let's go see the fourth boss. Hopefully, he has some medicine that can make Pokémon grow fur."

Hao Chen had no idea what the little dragon was thinking. If he had known, he would have definitely advised him that he only considered the little dragon a friend, or rather, a younger brother, and that a closer relationship was impossible.

Meanwhile, Xie Zhi, having failed to find Hao Chen, was about to return to teach He Tao and Fu Zai when he encountered his nemesis.

Qiongqi, along with his clone Qiong Dachang, blocked Xiezhi's path: "Hmph, you didn't expect me to come, did you!"

Xie Zhi turned his head slightly, somewhat unable to look Qiong Qi in the eye, because his subordinate Xie Lanlan had been in a relationship with Qiong Qi's subordinate Qiong Da Chang.

Although they have broken up now, due to the subtle connection between the clone and the original body, Xie Zhi even feels that he and Qiong Qi are in a relationship.

Therefore, the Xie Zhi's feelings towards Qiong Qi are complex. He dislikes Qiong Qi, but if Qiong Qi doesn't appear before him for a long time, he feels restless and somewhat reluctant to leave Qiong Qi.

"What, you seem surprised to see me? Let me tell you, I'm here today to demand an explanation for my eldest son."

The same applies to Qiongqi. Ever since Qiong Dachang started dating Xie Lanlan, one of Xie Zhi's subordinates, he couldn't help but think of Xie Zhi.

It even got to the point where he couldn't sleep if he didn't see the Xie Zhi for a day, so he used the excuse of demanding an explanation for the poor elder to come and see the Xie Zhi.

"Explanation? What do you mean by that?" Xie Zhi was confused by Qiong Qi's words.

"Hmph, don't deny it. Your subordinate seduced my elder first, then tricked him into leaving home to elope, and finally abandoned him after starting the affair. Look how badly he's hurt my elder, he's been drinking every day."

Qiongqi became more and more excited as he spoke, and his body unconsciously moved closer to Xiezhi.

By the time Xie Zhi realized what was happening, Qiong Qi's nose was almost touching his, which startled Xie Zhi so much that he quickly took a few steps back: "Just say what you want to say, why are you getting so close?"

Qiongqi was taken aback at first, but then he saw the panic in Xiezhi's eyes. As if he had thought of something funny, a sly smile appeared on his lips.

"Oh my, what's wrong with our righteous and just Lord Xie Zhi? Why does he look so flustered? Could it be that he has done something wrong?"

Qiongqi felt as if he had grasped the weakness of Xiezhi, and walked towards Xiezhi step by step, while Xiezhi kept retreating.

"Damn it, what's wrong with me? Why is my heart beating so fast? And what is Qiongqi going to do? Could it be that he's going to..."

When Xie Zhi saw Qiong Qi pressuring him like this, he couldn't help but think of the contents of the forbidden books for underage beasts that he had confiscated from Hao Chen. His cheeks immediately turned red, as delicious as a ripe apple.

Qiongqi had no idea what Xie Zhi was thinking. He only smelled an aura emanating from Xie Zhi that made his beastly blood boil. In addition, due to the influence of his clone Qiong Dazhang, Qiongqi's head gradually rose from below.

This scene was naturally witnessed by the Xie Zhi, whose legs immediately went weak. The Xie Zhi forced itself to stand up and said, "Qiong Qi, get out of my way, or I won't be polite if you come any closer."

"Haha, what are you afraid of? Afraid I'll do something bad to you!"

Qiongqi suddenly stood up, stretched out its claws to the sides of Xiezhi, and firmly gripped the tree trunk behind it, giving Xiezhi no chance to escape.

The next moment, Qiongqi lowered his head and took a deep sniff at Xiezhi's neck: "Xiezhi, has anyone ever told you that your fragrance is very alluring? I really want to savor it."

"You...I..." Xie Zhi knew perfectly well that he had been teased by Qiong Qi, and his face immediately turned red.

But just as Qiongqi was about to make his next move, he suddenly heard someone coming from behind him.

This made Qiongqi very unhappy, and he cursed inwardly which bastard had ruined his plans.

Left with no other choice, Qiongqi had to release its claws and prepare to leave first. After all, its relationship with Xiezhi was unclear, and its posture just now was easily misunderstood, so it would be difficult to explain if someone saw it.

However, as he was leaving, Qiongqi suddenly had a sudden idea. Before Xie Zhi could react, he suddenly kissed him.

"Well……"

The Xie Zhi was startled by Qiong Qi's actions, but soon he felt a soft tongue forcefully enter his mouth, wantonly stealing his saliva.

"Xiezhi, your scent is truly irresistible!" Qiongqi said to Xiezhi with a sly smile, then turned and hurriedly left.

"That damned nuisance!!" Xie Zhi watched Qiong Qi's departing figure with a meaningful look, then turned and left as well; he needed some peace and quiet.

After the Xie Zhi left, Hao Chen, Tian Lu, and the little fire dragon emerged from the bushes.

Hao Chen proudly said to Tian Lu and Little Fire Dragon, "See? I told you Qiong Qi was good. It was worth giving him my treasured copy of 'The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with Me' to study."

"Brother, I always feel like there's something wrong with you."

Hao Chen curled his lip and said, "What do you know? As long as Xie Zhi is engrossed in love, he won't have time to care about me."

"But I didn't expect Qiongqi to learn so quickly. If I hadn't made a commotion just now, even Xiezhi probably wouldn't have been able to withstand Qiongqi's attack."

Hao Chen thought to himself, "I can't let Qiongqi and Xie Zhi get together so easily, after all, I'm still single!"
