There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 339 Premature Baby

After Hao Chen took Tian Lu to find Bi Xie and Si Bu Xiang, Zhan Hu had nothing to do, so he simply called on Oleander and Walnut to have a barbecue in the backyard of the Deer Man's shop to improve their meals.

They quickly came up with a plan: Walnut would go to the Siberian Husk's warehouse to find a barbecue grill, while Zhanhu would take Oleander to prepare the meat for the barbecue.

Soon, Zhanhu and Oleander caught a plump Dangkang. Under Zhanhu's sharp claws, the Dangkang was instantly turned into a pile of meat skewers, which were already marinated.

As for the process, don't ask; it's magic.

When Zhanhu and Oleander returned with the prepared meat skewers, Walnut also arrived with the barbecue grill.

"Godfather, Uncle, look what Walnut found!" Walnut proudly pulled out an egg about the size of his head, which was none other than Bai Chen, who had not yet hatched.

"Wow, such a big egg is rare. Walnut is really capable," Zhanhu praised, patting Walnut's head.

Zhanhu then took the egg and prepared to wash it in the pond next to him.

But the moment Zhanhu touched the egg, he was suddenly stunned. The egg gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if it were related to him and Haochen.

But Zhanhu didn't think much of it. Instead, he guessed that the egg was food that Haochen had hidden away, since it wasn't the first time Haochen had done something like this.

As the barbecue grill was lit, Bai Chen felt increasingly hot all over, and in his daze, he seemed to see the figure of Di Ting.

"That's strange. Wasn't I sent to the Deer Man's shop by Di Ting? How come I still see him?"

On the other side, Di Ting was inspecting work in the underworld when he saw a small white tiger floating towards him.

"Whose child is this? So young and gone, how pitiful!"

Although Di Ting, as one of the underworld officials in charge of animal life and death, had witnessed countless births, aging, sickness, and deaths, he still felt sympathy for the little white tiger's plight.

Unexpectedly, the little white tiger bypassed the staff members and floated familiarly to Di Ting, hugging him tightly: "Hey, Di Ting, what are you doing here?"

"???" Di Ting looked at the little white tiger's movements in his arms, and a sense of familiarity welled up in his heart. Could this tone be from someone he knew? But why didn't he remember it?

Fortunately, at this moment, the Earth told Di Ting that this was the egg he had delivered to the Deer Man's shop.

When Di Ting learned that the little white tiger in front of him was Hao Chen's son whom he had never met, he was immediately shocked: "Bai Chen, you... how come you are in the underworld?"

"The Underworld?" Upon hearing Di Ting's words, Bai Chen quickly looked around. After seeing the unique underworld scenery, Bai Chen was dumbfounded.

He forcibly used divine power and then fell into a coma. How did he end up in the underworld in the blink of an eye? He's dead.

"No!!!" Bai Chen frowned. While he was unconscious, he seemed to vaguely hear something about barbecuing, then he felt very hot, and then he encountered Di Ting.

Thinking of this, Bai Chen's face stiffened. Had he been turned into a roasted egg?

At the same time, Di Ting, with the earth's explanation, knew that Bai Chen's soul had separated from his body; although it hadn't died yet, it was close.

"Dadi, shouldn't we send this back as soon as possible?"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Urged on by the earth, Di Ting grabbed Bai Chen and, instead of taking the subway, flashed directly to the Deer Man Shop.

When the Qilin saw that Di Ting had returned, its heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Di Ting was going to take it down with it?

However, Di Ting didn't have time to joke with the Four-Faced Beast at the moment. As soon as they met, he asked anxiously, "Fourth Boss, where are the eggs I delivered this morning?"

"Egg?" The Qilin, remembering the black egg it had kicked away, pointed towards the warehouse: "I put the egg in the warehouse. What, Lord Diting, are you going to take it back?"

"There's no time to say anything, Fourth Boss, come with me quickly."

Di Ting strode toward the warehouse, taking out a large, long, syringe-shaped soul syringe and inserting Bai Chen's soul into it.

However, Da Di Jian Di Ting had gone the wrong way and quickly reminded him that it was in the backyard, not the warehouse.

This made Di Ting very happy. Fortunately, Da Di reminded him, otherwise it would have wasted a lot of time. So he quickly turned around and pulled the four-legged creature towards the backyard.

Meanwhile, Zhanhu, Oleander, and Walnut, who were barbecuing, were looking completely bewildered around the eggs that Walnut had brought.

Zhanhu placed the washed eggs on the barbecue grill and started grilling them. Soon, the eggs made a series of cracking sounds.

Upon hearing the sound, Walnut immediately perked up: "Godfather, Uncle, come quick! Is this egg almost done baking?"

Upon hearing what Walnut said, Zhanhu and Oleander immediately put down what they were doing.

Zhanhu took the tongs, picked up the egg, and put it on the ground: "Walnut, don't rush. Wait until it cools down before eating it so it won't burn your mouth."

"Hmm." Walnut nodded, then asked, "Godfather, can Walnut crack the egg open so it cools down faster?"

Zhanhu thought it made sense. The meat skewers weren't ready yet, so they should eat some eggs to tide them over.

Then, Zhanhu slammed its paw directly onto the egg, and with a "crack," the egg split open.

But what came into view was not the baked egg whites and yolks, but a small white cat with its eyes closed and its body curled up.

"Huh? How come there's a cat inside an egg?" Zhanhu looked at Oleander with suspicion: "Did you also come out of an egg?"

Oleander was speechless at Zhanhu's question and simply rolled her eyes at him.

Zhan Hu chuckled sheepishly, clearly aware that his question was somewhat foolish, after all, he himself hadn't come from an egg.

At this moment, Walnut boldly reached out its paw and touched the little white kitten that had just emerged from the egg.

No matter how much Walnut pushed, the little white cat remained curled up on the ground, motionless.

Oleander, who was standing nearby, seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but ask, "Is he dead?"

Upon hearing this, Walnut abruptly withdrew its paws, then ran behind Zhanhu in terror, tightly hugging Zhanhu's leg: "Godfather, Walnut is scared."

"Don't be afraid, your godfather is here." Zhan Hu swallowed hard. Although he was also a little scared, he still tried to calm himself down and reassure Walnut.

Just as Zhanhu and the others were at a loss, Diting arrived in a hurry with the Four-Faced Beast.

"Fortunately, there's still time."

Di Ting glanced at the little white tiger on the ground and knew that this was Bai Chen.

Although it was unclear why Heaven and Earth used Zhanhu as a template for creating Baichen instead of Haochen, there was no time for Diting to think about it at the moment.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the four unlike creatures, the war tiger, the oleander, and the walnut, Di Ting carefully pried open Bai Chen's mouth and then inserted the syringe.

"Wow!"

Hearing the exclamations from the Qilin behind him, Di Ting turned around, his face dark, and explained, "What are you thinking? I was saving him, not abusing him."

As Di Ting re-injected Bai Chen's soul into his body from the soul syringe, Bai Chen's claws twitched.

Although the movement was small, it was still noticed by Di Ting, which put Di Ting at ease and called the Qilin and the others over.

After the Qilin came over, it looked at Bai Chen on the ground, then at Di Ting wiping away sweat, and asked the question that had been on its mind.

"By the way, Di Ting, what's your relationship with this little guy? Why are you so concerned about him? Could he be your illegitimate child?"

"Fourth Boss, don't joke around. I'm still single." Di Ting said with a wry smile, "It's my fault for not making it clear before. This little guy is the cub of the future Hao Chen and Zhan Hu, named Bai Chen. But Hao Chen didn't want to raise him, so he left him to be taken care of by his past self."

"By a twist of fate, I found this little guy and brought him here. I never expected this to happen, causing him to be born prematurely."

After hearing this, Di spread his hands helplessly: "That's how it is. If there's nothing else, I'll go back now. Take good care of this child. I don't want to see him on the cycle of reincarnation again."

Although it was hard to believe, the Qilin quickly accepted it. As long as it wasn't his child, it didn't matter whose it was. He couldn't possibly let him take care of someone else's child.

"Zhanhu, take good care of your cub. If you need anything, go to Haochen or Rabbit Master. Don't bother me."

When the Qilin was not around, it gave a few instructions to Zhanhu and then left to catch up on some sleep. Its divine power had been absorbed by Bai Chen and it had not yet recovered.

Even now, Zhan Hu remained completely bewildered. Whose son? His and Hao Chen's future son? Had he just eaten his own son?

Zhanhu subconsciously reached out and pinched his arm, only to find that it didn't hurt at all. He immediately felt relieved and laughed, "It doesn't hurt at all. It really was a dream. I knew it! How could a son suddenly appear out of nowhere!"

Just as Zhan Hu breathed a sigh of relief, Oleander said weakly, "Ouch, Zhan Hu, why did you pinch my arm? It hurts!"

When Zhan Hu realized that he had accidentally pinched Oleander's arm while he was distracted, he immediately felt sorry for her and pulled her arm over to blow on it.

On the other side, Bai Chen on the ground found that although he had returned to his body, he seemed to be underdeveloped due to premature birth. Although he could hear Zhan Hu and the others talking, he could not open his eyes, speak, or even use his limbs. He could barely crawl, let alone stand up.

"Waaah..." Bai Chen whimpered, hoping to attract Zhan Hu and the others' attention.

At this moment, Hao Chen's Dao soldier, Brick Dragon Mountain, was awakening inside Bai Chen's body.

Long Shan was stunned after sensing Bai Chen's condition.

No, he was just taking a nap, how could the young master have been born prematurely and be underdeveloped? How is he going to explain this to Haochen?

The thought that Hao Chen would most likely send his son back for retraining after learning about his son's condition made Long Shan feel heartbroken.

Upon sensing that his mother had awakened, Bai Chen immediately communicated with Long Shan using his divine sense with anticipation.

"Uncle Longshan, what should I do now? Can you put me back into the egg?"

"..." Long Shan fell silent, then sighed, "Young Master, this isn't so bad. It'll allow you to meet your parents in this world sooner, hehe..."

In the end, Longshan himself was embarrassed and could only manage a few dry laughs.

Suddenly, Bai Chen felt his body being lifted into the air, as if he were being lifted up by something.

Because he was blind, he could only sense it with his mind, and that's how he learned that his father was carrying him on Oleander's back, seemingly taking him somewhere.

"It's my stepmother's back! The amount of fur and the feel of her paws are just as nice to rub as my mother remembers."

Bai Chen seemed to have inherited Hao Chen's hobby. The first time he touched the oleander's back, he liked the fluffy texture and even temporarily forgot about his current situation.

Oleander wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt as if the little guy on his back had moved his paw slightly, as if it was touching him.

While Zhanhu and the others were trying to take care of Bai Chen, Hao Chen and Tian Lu finally finished their seclusion and roughly learned how to play the desperate ball.

Meanwhile, the so-called beach cup competition was about to begin, but then Hao Chen suddenly had a brain fart and actually wanted to bring Si Bu Xiang and Zhan Hu over to properly appreciate his ball skills.

Tianlu not only did not stop Haochen's idea, but was also very interested and wanted to show off his skills in front of the Qilin.
