There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 249 Hao Chen Goes Crazy (Part 2)

"Clap~"

In the quiet night, a crisp slap rang out, and Hao Chen's face immediately turned extremely ugly: "No, Zhan Hu, I was just saying that, you actually hit me."

"Hmph, didn't you tell me to hit him? Why are you unhappy now that I actually did it?!" Zhan Hu shoved Hao Chen with disdain.

He then said, "Alright, we've already fought, let's leave it at that. You should go now, I need to sleep. I promised Oleander I'd take him to the hot springs tomorrow, I can't break my promise."

"Soaking in a hot spring?!" Hao Chen glanced at the sleeping oleander. It was indeed very cute, and even Hao Chen had an urge to roughly ravage it.

But the thought of Zhan Hu going to the hot springs with Oleander tomorrow, without taking him along, made him wonder what might happen between them during that time.

The thought of this made Hao Chen feel like he had been betrayed, completely forgetting that the Zhan Hu in front of him was not his own.

"Soaking in a hot spring, huh? I'll let you soak in a hot spring." Hao Chen, disregarding all martial ethics, took advantage of Zhan Hu turning around to cover Oleander with a blanket and bit Zhan Hu's tail.

"Aww... Haochen, are you a dog? Hurry up and move aside..."

Zhan Hu's temper flared up after Hao Chen's sudden outburst, but upon catching a glimpse of the sleeping Oleander, he had no choice but to control himself and quickly cover his mouth.

Fortunately, Oleander visits his sister Cotton Peach in his dreams every day, so he didn't hear the noise made by Haochen and Zhanhu. This relieved Zhanhu: "It's good that Oleander wasn't woken up."

"Alright, we're even now." Before Zhan Hu could get angry, Hao Chen released his mouth, as if he hadn't been the one who had just spoken.

Zhan Hu glared at Hao Chen, but made no further move. He was truly afraid of Hao Chen, who was like a leech that couldn't be shaken off once it was stuck to him.

Zhanhu thought about it carefully and realized that he did not seem to have provoked Haochen. Moreover, it seemed that Haochen had suddenly rushed out and startled Jiazhutao, which was why Jiazhutao used her talent to make Haochen fall into a deep sleep.

The second time, Hao Chen also teased him first, even flicking his lychee, which forced Zhan Hu to retaliate.

But to everyone's surprise, Hao Chen didn't sleep at night and instead came to Rabbit Lord's house to seek revenge.

Thinking of this, Zhanhu felt a headache coming on. He waved his paw at Haochen and said, "Alright, now you've gotten your revenge. You should go back now."

To everyone's surprise, after hearing Zhan Hu's words of dismissal, Hao Chen had no intention of leaving. Instead, he smiled and stared at Zhan Hu quietly.

"What are you planning to do now?" Zhan Hu felt a little uneasy under Hao Chen's gaze. He really wanted to slap Hao Chen across the face, but he was worried that if they started fighting, it would be too noisy.

Hao Chen seemed oblivious to the disdain in Zhan Hu's eyes, jumped onto Zhan Hu's bed, and found a comfortable spot to lie down: "I'm sleeping here tonight."

Seeing Hao Chen acting like he was no stranger to anyone, Zhan Hu couldn't hold back any longer. He was Zhan Hu, a mighty beast from the primordial era, not some little kitten. Did Hao Chen really think he had no temper?

"Get down here."

Zhan Hu slapped Hao Chen down, but Hao Chen rolled away to avoid the attack and rolled to Oleander's side.

"Zhanhu, if you don't stop, I won't care what happens next."

Zhanhu saw Haochen aiming his claws at Oleander's bottom, as if Haochen would spank Oleander's bottom if he made another move.

Left with no other choice, Zhan Hu had to stop: "What exactly do you want to do?"

"I'm not doing anything, I just plan to stay here for one night, so just tell me if you agree or not!"

To be honest, after Hao Chen was slapped on the butt by Zhan Hu and then bit Zhan Hu's tail in return, he had no idea what he was doing.

Leaving at that time would have been the best choice, but for some reason Hao Chen didn't want to leave. He preferred to pretend to be a rogue and stay overnight at Zhan Hu's place.

Just when Hao Chen thought things were settled, seeing that Zhan Hu seemed to be planning to compromise, Oleander suddenly woke up.

Anyone who was sleeping soundly would be frightened if they opened their eyes to find a strange beast beside them.

Like a startled little rabbit, the oleander darted away from Hao Chen's claws.

Hao Chen was stunned by what he saw. He probably never expected that the seemingly silly oleander would be so fast.

Oleander darted behind Zhanhu and clung tightly to his fur, as if that would give him a sense of security: "Ah, Zhanhu, what's going on? How come there's an extra beast in the house?"

Zhanhu turned around, picked up the oleander's paw, and gently patted it, looking at the oleander with tender eyes: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Hey, stop being so mushy, I'm still here." Hao Chen looked at Oleander being pulled into Zhan Hu's arms with a displeased expression, his eyes filled with envy, wishing he could replace Oleander.

Hao Chen only thought about such things. Now that he had come to his senses, he knew that the Zhan Hu in front of him was not his. Teasing him occasionally was fine, but going too far would be bad.

"Forget it, let's find a chance to slip away, otherwise we might become enemies if we keep making trouble."

While Hao Chen was thinking about how to leave, Zhan Hu had already explained the current situation to Jia Zhu Tao.

When she heard that Hao Chen had come to take revenge on Zhan Hu, Oleander looked at Zhan Hu with concern: "Zhan Hu, are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"Don't worry, I'm Zhan Hu. No one can hurt me. You're the one who's not scared, are you?"

Oleander lowered its head in embarrassment at Zhan Hu's concerned words, its two tails swaying nervously behind it as it murmured, "I'm fine."

Zhan Hu's lips curled up, and he reached out his paw to pull Oleander into his arms, resting his chin on Oleander's head. His previous depressed mood because of Hao Chen was completely swept away.

Hao Chen, who was silently watching all this, sighed in his heart: "After all, he is not my own Tiger. But given how Zhan Hu is, could it be that he has already had relations with Oleander?"

While the two were being intimate, Hao Chen quietly retreated. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Oleander say to Zhan Hu, "Zhan Hu, do you think I'm useless?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Hu frowned. He could hear the dejection in Oleander's voice and quickly asked, "Why do you say that? Did something happen?"

As Zhan Hu spoke, he glared at Hao Chen, who had already retreated to the door, as if to say, "Did you say something you shouldn't have to my oleander?"

Oleander leaned against Zhanhu's chest, her voice choked with emotion, "I've been searching for so long, but I haven't found any clues about my sister. But if it were my sister, she would probably find me right away."

Upon hearing that Oleander felt useless and was even about to cry because she hadn't expected her older sister to do so, Zhanhu quickly licked the corner of Oleander's eye to wipe away her tears.

"Oleander, don't overthink it. I think your older sister must have had something to do to leave. You'll meet again someday, and I'll always be there for you."

"Zhanhu, thank you. It's really reassuring to have you here."

At the same time, Hao Chen froze because of what Oleander said. He thought of a way to solve the current predicament, which was to borrow a road.

Although he and Chen Ying each played with Yin and Yang and Qiankun respectively, they were essentially from the same root. Since Chen Ying could borrow his Dao, he could also borrow Chen Ying's Dao in the same way.

"Perhaps once I borrow Chenying's Dao, I will know how to solve the problem of this world's collapse."

The more Hao Chen thought about it, the more plausible his guess seemed, and the gloom in his heart dissipated considerably. The more he looked at the oleander, the more Hao Chen felt that it, like the walnut, was a lucky charm.

"Oleander, you're so smart. Thanks for reminding me. I'll treat you to dinner later." Hao Chen said, then prepared to leave.

But as he opened the door to leave, his head bumped into a fluffy thing. Looking closely, Hao Chen was dumbfounded: "Rabbit Lord, what are you doing here?"

Rabbit Lord rubbed his stomach, which Hao Chen had bumped into, and looked at Hao Chen with the same puzzled look in his eyes: "I was wondering why Zhan Hu's room was so noisy. Oh, it was you, Hao Chen. By the way, how did you get in? I remember locking the door."

"Ah, this...that..."

Hao Chen was in a state of utter confusion and couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation for the time being. He couldn't very well say that he had forced his way in, or he would probably be seen as a pervert. Otherwise, what normal person would break into someone else's house in the middle of the night?

When Rabbit Lord saw Hao Chen stammering, and recalling that he had appeared in Zhan Hu's room, he immediately guessed what had happened.

"I understand. I didn't expect you to like Zhanhu so much, Haochen, that you even followed him home. You two have fun, I won't bother you anymore." With that, Rabbit Master closed the door and left, leaving Haochen, Zhanhu, and Oleander staring at each other.

"No, what do you understand, Rabbit Lord?!" Hao Chen felt like he was about to collapse. He should have known better than to come.
