There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 108 Haircutting

Soon, at Hao Chen's request, Bixie and Tianlu lay on their backs on the ground like the Four-Faced Beasts, revealing their four claws.

"Haochen, why did you bring me and Bixie along when you were applying medicine to the Four-Unlikes?"

Tianlu said with some dissatisfaction, and Bixie beside him also showed an impatient expression.

Hao Chen quickly reassured him, "Hey, Tianlu, don't worry. I'm just trimming your claws. Long claws can make you slippery."

As Hao Chen spoke, he grabbed one of Tian Lu's paws and gently stroked the fur between the paw pads. Tian Lu instantly felt a tickle and burst out laughing: "Hahaha~ Stop it, Hao Chen, it tickles!"

"Right, it'll be fine once it's cut off."

Next came Hao Chen's private time. He lingered between Tian Lu and Bi Xie, taking the opportunity of trimming their claws to enjoy their pink paw pads.

With a final "snap," the evil spirit finally breathed a sigh of relief, immediately retracted its claws, and stood up.

Seeing that Bixie had finished trimming its claws and fur, Tianlu stepped forward and asked, "Bixie, how are you feeling?"

Bixie tried taking a few steps, then tried jogging and gradually increasing the speed, and then tried making a quick turn, and found that it did not feel like it was about to slip as before.

"Not bad, Tianlu, how about you?"

"Of course I'm fine, look, Pixie, now I can't kick anymore... Awoo~"

Tianlu imitated Bixie's movements and ran quickly, but unsurprisingly, he slipped again when turning a corner and fell face-first into the mud.

Seeing this, even Bixie couldn't bear to look: "Tianlu, how come you still slip so easily!"

"Waaaaah~ Bixie, stop laughing, you hurt me so much when you fell."

"Serves him right." Although Bixie said that Tianlu deserved it, his body still betrayed him as he stepped forward to check Tianlu's injuries. Fortunately, Tianlu only had a few minor scratches.

"Okay, stop crying. I'll blow on it and it won't hurt anymore."

"Yes, Bixie, you're so kind."

Hao Chen, who was behind, naturally saw this scene. He wanted to say that he could also help Tian Lu blow on the wound, or even lick it to disinfect it.

However, Hao Chen has more important things to do now, so Tian Lu can only wait for another opportunity.

"Alright, Four-Faced Beast, now it's your turn." Hao Chen's eyes gleamed green as he looked at Four-Faced Beast, his intensely aggressive gaze making Four-Faced Beast feel uneasy.

"That little lump of coal, I think I'm fine, maybe we shouldn't use it." As he spoke, the Four-Faced Beast couldn't help but move backward.

Hao Chen had been waiting for this opportunity to openly and legitimately hunt the Four-Unlikes for a long time, so how could he let it go so easily?

"Don't run away, Four-No-Face! I don't care what you think, I care what I think. Be a good boy and stick out your paws."

Hao Chen grabbed the four-legged creature's paws and carefully began trimming them with special claw trimmers.

"Little coal ball, no! It's so itchy! I can't stand it! Hahahaha... Little plum blossom, little blue circle, come help me!"

The Four-Unlikes were fine when they didn't call out "Bixie" and "Tianlu," but this call instantly caught their attention.

"Hey, Hao Chen is trimming the claws of the Four-Unlikely!"

"Tianlu, what are you planning to do?" Bixie naturally realized that Tianlu had something on his mind.

Tianlu chuckled and said, "Bixie, let's go help too."

Without waiting for Bixie's agreement, Tianlu called out to Haochen, "Haochen, Bixie and I want to help too."

"Huh!? Okay, here are the scissors. Be careful not to cut the meat of the strange creature."

When Hao Chen heard Tian Lu's voice, he was initially surprised, but he quickly realized what was happening and handed Tian Lu a pair of scissors, indicating that Tian Lu could go and deal with the other paw of the Four-Faced Beast.

But the Four-Faced Beast was not so happy. He called Tianlu over to help him, not to trim his claws.

"Little Blue Circle, why are you like this too?" Si Bu Xiang said helplessly, looking at Bi Xie with a pitiful expression, hoping that his little plum blossom wouldn't do this.

But when Si Bu Xiang saw Bi Xie give him an apologetic look, Si Bu Xiang felt his heart break instantly. His heart skipped a beat: Could it be that Xiao Mei Hua... No, Xiao Mei Hua wouldn't do this to me.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the four, Bixie spoke to Haochen, saying, "Little Hao, I also want to help."

"Help? Of course, no problem. In that case, here's the talisman. You can first remove the dead skin and excess hair from the hooves of the Four-Faced Beast, then polish and trim them, and finally apply anti-cracking hoof oil."

Hearing Hao Chen's words, Bi Xie suddenly realized that taking care of the Si Bu Xiang's hooves was so troublesome, but it was precisely because of this that Bi Xie was full of fighting spirit.

After taking the razor, scissors, file, and hoof oil from Hao Chen, Bi Xie said with great fighting spirit, "Si Bu Xiang, relax, leave the rest to me."

"Okay, fine, whatever makes you happy."

Having failed to resist, the Four-Faced Beast simply lay down and let Hao Chen and the others take care of its claws and hooves. And to be honest, the Four-Faced Beast felt much more comfortable after the foot care.

After finishing all this, Hao Chen saw that it was still quite early and Qiongqi and Taotie had not returned yet, so he decided to continue taking care of the Four-No-Forms.

"Four-Faced Beasts, it's getting quite hot now, let me trim your fur while I'm at it."

"Oh, no need..."

"Don't mention it, it's what a younger brother should do." To make sure Si Bu Xiang couldn't refuse, Hao Chen emphasized the word "younger brother."

Sure enough, after hearing Hao Chen admit that he was the younger brother, Si Bu Xiang pursed his lips and finally obediently lay down on the ground: "Since Little Coal Ball wants to help his older brother cut his fur, then come on."

Looking at the four-legged creature lying on the ground, as if inviting him to a buffet, Hao Chen's heart couldn't help but beat faster, but after seeing the evil spirit next to him, Hao Chen calmed down.

"Calm down, Haochen. The Four-Faced Beast is used to ward off evil spirits, and they are all here now. You must not make a mistake."

"If the heart is pure as ice, even if the sky collapses, one will not be alarmed. Amidst all changes, one remains steadfast, with a tranquil spirit and peaceful mind. By forgetting oneself and guarding the One, the six senses are greatly settled..."

After silently reciting the Ice Heart Mantra several times, Hao Chen finally managed to control the desire in his heart. However, Hao Chen was a little puzzled as to why his desire for the Four-Faced Beast was so strong today.

Sibuxiangjian Haochen hadn't made a move for a long time, and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Little Coal Ball? Weren't you going to help me trim my fur?"

"Coming right away." Hao Chen replied, then looked at Bi Xie and Tian Lu and said to them, "Bi Xie, Tian Lu, you can go and help Chaos trim its fur. You've been separated for so long, and no one has helped her groom her. Look, Chaos's fur is quite long now."

Upon hearing Hao Chen's words, Bi Xie and Tian Lu subconsciously looked at Chaos, who was resting in the distance, and found that Chaos's fur was indeed long and messy. It seemed that Qiong Qi and the others rarely licked Chaos's fur.

“It is indeed a bit long, so Tianlu and I will go help Big Guy.”

"Okay, then I'll take care of the claws of that big guy who wards off evil."

Seeing that he had tricked Bixie and Tianlu away, Haochen breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was glad that he was a Pixiu and didn't have that thing, otherwise he probably would have made a fool of himself just now.

Then, Hao Chen took the scissors and walked towards the Four-Unlikes, recalling the hair-cutting techniques he had learned from Rabbit Lord. He secretly encouraged himself, "Hao Chen, you can do it! Give the Four-Unlikes a cool haircut."

……

In the end, it turned out that Haochen really didn't have the talent for cutting fur. Fortunately, although the haircut was ugly, the four-legged creature was good-looking to begin with, so it was barely acceptable.

The Four-Faced Beast kept turning its head and looking itself over. Seeing that the fur on its body had been cut to uneven lengths and the fur at the tip of its tail had been cut off, it suddenly felt that it had made a mistake in believing the faith.

"Little coal ball, look what you've done to me! I'm never trusting you again."

Listening to the four-faced creature's complaints, Hao Chen covered his face in shame. He had wanted to show off his skills, but he ended up making a mistake in editing.

Even the usually stern-faced Bixie covered his mouth and chuckled at the new look of the Four-Unlikes. Not to mention Tianlu, who pointed directly at the Four-Unlikes and mocked, "Hahaha, Four-Unlikes, look at yourself, you're so ugly now, aren't you, Bixie?"

"Cough cough...I think it's alright~ Hmm!!"

The Four-Faced Beast noticed Bixie's suppressed laughter, which made it even more annoyed and resentful of Haochen.

Left with no other choice, Hao Chen stepped forward and gestured for Si Bu Xiang to lower his head. Then, he whispered in Si Bu Xiang's ear, "Don't be angry, Si Bu Xiang. How about I find an opportunity for you to help Bi Xie trim his fur?"

"Want me to trim Little Plum Blossom's fur? Sure, sure!"

Hao Chen's words immediately turned Si Bu Xiang's anger into laughter. He even imagined that he would cut Bi Xie's hair beautifully, and Bi Xie would be very satisfied with it, praising him for the beautiful haircut.

Just then, Qiongqi and Taotie returned with water and food, but as soon as they came back, they sensed that something was wrong.

Soon, they noticed that Hao Chen was looking at them intently.

Qiongqi: "Boss, boss, what are you doing...?"

Hao Chen rubbed his paws together; he hadn't had his fill of furry fun yet, and just then, Qiongqi and Taotie returned.

Hao Chen said, "Qiongqi, you've worked hard."

Both Qiongqi and Taotie were frightened by Haochen's gaze. Realizing that something was wrong, the two beasts quickly said, "It's no trouble. If there's nothing else, Taotie and I will go find some more food."

"No rush, no rush. I have something to talk to you about. You can lie down first."

As Hao Chen spoke, he walked towards Qiongqi and the others. Bixie and the others naturally guessed Hao Chen's thoughts, but they did not intend to pay attention to him. Instead, they eagerly lay down to watch.

Tianlu said, "It would be great if we had some golden melon seeds to crack right now."

Bixie: "Tianlu, what are you thinking? You're lucky to have meat to eat, why would you want gold?"

"I was just saying, is that not allowed?"

"If Little Blue Circle wants to eat Golden Balls, you can come to my house. My parents have lots of Golden Balls, enough for Little Blue Circle to eat."

"Really? You're so kind, Four-Faced Beast."

Seeing Tianlu so happy, Sibuxiang was also very happy. If Xiaolanquan went to his house, Xiaomeihua would also go to his house.

After Hao Chen explained, Qiongqi and Taotie learned that Hao Chen wanted to trim their claws and body hair.

Despite their reluctance, under Hao Chen's earnest (and forceful) persuasion, Qiongqi and Taotie lay on the ground in a shameful manner, exposing their bellies.

Hao Chen glanced at the two beasts and couldn't help but say, "They're developing quite well."

Even though Qiongqi's facial hair was red, a change could still be seen after hearing Haochen's words.

After being repeatedly disciplined, Taotie had resigned itself to its fate and closed its eyes, letting Haochen do whatever he wanted to it. After all, Haochen was its boss, and he couldn't possibly eat it.

"In that case, I won't hold back, you furry little ones!!!"
