There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 237 The Truth About 1 Jiao

The fall of the mythical beast Chaos not only signifies a great change in the world and the end of the medieval era,

It also signifies that the fortune of the divine beast race is dissipating and shifting, and that destiny is no longer with them.

Conversely, the vast Heavenly Court, led by the Heavenly Emperor Haotian and bringing together numerous deities, is rapidly rising and replacing the divine beasts in the world.

Naturally, the Heavenly Court and the Divine Beast Clan began to dislike each other.

The Heavenly Court pursues order and rules, and considers the divine beasts who pursue freedom and their true selves to be unstable factors. Based on the principle of "those who obey me live, those who defy me die," the Heavenly Court has incorporated all the divine beasts in the world and brought them under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court's rules.

However, the mythical beast race is so vast that there will always be one or two mythical beasts that are unwilling to obey the Heavenly Court. For example, Qiongqi, Taowu, and Taotie are typical representatives.

Therefore, the Heavenly Court would call these kinds of divine beasts ferocious beasts and send heavenly soldiers and generals, or even subjugated divine beasts, to subdue and suppress them.

Bixie and Tianlu were unwilling to leave Chaos, firmly believing that their friend was just asleep and would wake up one day.

Therefore, they and the Qilin chose to live on the Rainbow Cloud Mountain Range, which was formed from chaos.

However, the Caiyun Mountain Range was newly formed and didn't have much food. Even though the Four-Faced Beast obtained gold and jade from an old golden man in the Heavenly Court, it wasn't enough for Bixie and Tianlu to eat.

Bixie was so concerned that his younger brother Tianlu wouldn't go hungry that he secretly put his own portion back so that Tianlu could have a full meal.

Over time, Bixie's body could no longer withstand it. The large number of evil spirits that had previously been ingested became uncontrollable and wreaked havoc inside Bixie, causing Bixie to fall into a coma.

In order to help Bixie recover quickly, Tianlu foolishly took Sibuxiang to challenge Zhulong to a duel, hoping to take its flesh to nourish Bixie. However, they were no match for Zhulong and were both eaten by it.

Fortunately, he was rescued by an old golden man who happened to be passing by. After hearing the old golden man say that the Heavenly Court provided food and lodging, Tianlu had the idea of ​​going to the Heavenly Court.

Furthermore, when the old man heard that Bixie was injured, he took the initiative to help heal Bixie, which made Tianlu feel good about the old man.

In the end, after being persuaded by the Four-Unlikes and with Tianlu's coaxing, Bixie agreed to go to the Heavenly Court together.

However, after arriving in the Heavenly Court, Tianlu discovered that although the Heavenly Court provided food and lodging, it only guaranteed that you wouldn't starve. If you wanted to eat well, you still needed to work.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Court had only been established for a short time at this time and was short-handed, so there was a lot of work for them to do.

As Pixiu, Bixie and Tianlu are naturally skilled in battle, so the Heavenly Court assigned them to patrol the Three Realms and ensure their safety.

If a ferocious beast or demon appears in a certain place, Bixie and Tianlu need to suppress it.

During this process, some injuries are inevitable, but Bixie and Tianlu have strong physical recovery abilities, and with the Four Unlikes by their side, there are no problems.

Thus, after warding off evil, Tianlu and Sibuxiang lived a simple yet fulfilling life in the heavens.

One day, Si Bu Xiang heard Tian Lu mention that their birthdays were in the next few days, and Si Bu Xiang had an idea in mind.

Although the long lifespans of mythical beasts make them indifferent to birthdays, Sibuxiang believes that since Bixie and Tianlu are his younger brothers, he should prepare gifts for them, especially since he has never given Bixie and Tianlu a gift before.

So the Four-Unlikes inquired everywhere and happened to learn that there was a strange flower in the lower realm called Glazed Moonflower.

The Crystal Moon Essence absorbs the essence of the moon, taking the shape of a plum blossom. Its petals are as crystal clear as crystal, and it can bloom with the most dazzling colors.

Consuming the Glazed Moon Essence allows one to receive the baptism of the moon's essence, curing all ailments.

Most importantly, the Glazed Moonlit Flower opens on the day of Bixie and Tianlu's birthday.

Therefore, the Four-Unlikes wanted to give the Glazed Moon Essence as a birthday gift to the Pixie, hoping that it could cure the root of the illness that Pixie had suffered when it was sick.

"I need to hurry, I need to find Liuli Yuehua before Xiaomei's birthday."

While Bixie was away from Heaven, Sibuxiang secretly descended to the mortal realm to search for Liuli Yuehua, only to be spotted by Tianlu.

"Little Blue Circle, I have something to take care of, you absolutely mustn't come with me."

After stopping Tianlu from following him, the Four-Faced Beast immediately descended to the mortal realm.

After searching for a while, the Four-Faced Beast finally found a clue to the Glazed Moon Essence in a valley shrouded in thick fog.

Seeing the four-legged creature enter the valley, Hao Chen followed without a second thought.

As soon as he stepped into the mist, Hao Chen keenly sensed that a large formation had been set up in the valley.

"Who set up this formation? Was it the Heavenly Court? Or the original owner of this valley?"

Hao Chen couldn't help but ponder. If it was the first possibility, then the situation was not good. It meant that someone in the Heavenly Court was targeting the Four-Unlikes, perhaps related to the Four-Unlikes' death.

If it's the second scenario, then it's alright; it just means the Four-Faced Beast was unlucky and wandered into someone else's territory.

However, upon seeing Tianlu secretly following behind the Four-Faced Beast, Haochen thought that the Four-Faced Beast's safety should be fine.

The formation in the mist seemed to have no effect on the Four-Unlikes, and was not triggered by their intrusion.

However, the formation blocked Tianlu, who was following behind the Four-Faced Beast, which slowed Tianlu down and caused him to lose track of the Four-Faced Beast.

"Annoying formation, watch me tear this bunch of nonsense apart."

For some reason, when he was blocked by the formation, Tianlu suddenly had a bad feeling, as if something big was about to happen, which made him feel very irritable.

It seemed that the fog obscured his vision and sound, and the Four-Faced Beast was unaware that Tianlu had secretly followed him. He was still searching for the Glazed Moon Essence.

Suddenly, the Four-Faced Beast seemed to smell something, and subconsciously looked up and sniffed: "What a fragrant smell, is it the Moonlight of Glazed Glass?"

It is said that when the Crystal Moon Essence is about to bloom, it will emit a captivating fragrance.

Thinking of this, the Four-Faced Beast quickened its pace and walked deeper into the mist.

Because this was just a dream that Tianlu had subconsciously under Haochen's guidance, Haochen could sense the formation but was not affected by it and could still pass through it freely.

Just as Hao Chen was about to cross Tianlu and enter the mist to search for the Four Unlikes, he suddenly felt a dizziness in his head, followed by a feeling of weakness.

"Oh no, the time for the Illusionary Body is almost up, we have to hurry."

Hao Chen felt anxious as he realized he was about to exit the illusory body state. If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when he would have another chance.

He quickened his pace, but the illusory body was too mentally taxing. Before Hao Chen could find the Four Unlikes, he was forced to exit Tianlu's dream.

But in the instant he stepped back, Hao Chen witnessed a scene he would never forget:

In the mist, a beast resembling a warding-off-evil bit into the neck of the Four-Unlikes. Blood flowed from the wound on the Four-Unlikes' neck, dripping onto the ground and staining it red.

Hao Chen seemed to see disbelief and relief in the eyes of the Four-Faced Beast.

"No, this isn't real, it's fake, it's all fake."

As soon as Hao Chen emerged from Tian Lu's dream, he felt as if the sky had fallen. What had he been persisting for all this time? Was it to see Bi Xie kill the Four-Unlikes with his own hands?

"Haochen, what's wrong? Are you alright?!"

Walnut looked at Haochen, who had fallen into a frenzy, and unconsciously backed away.

Hao Chen's blood-red pupils glanced at Walnut, instantly causing the fur on Walnut's body to stand on end. Fear made Walnut directly contact the dream space.

Back to reality, Walnut patted her chest with lingering fear: "Wow, that was a scary look, it scared Walnut to death."

Just then, Fuzi, who had heard the noise, pushed open the door and came in. Seeing that Walnut seemed frightened, he quickly went over and hugged Walnut tightly: "Walnut, did you have a nightmare?"

Fuzai knows that Walnut likes to run into dreams and play, and is sometimes frightened by scary dreams.

Walnut calmed down after being comforted by Fuzai. Then he suddenly noticed that Haochen was not there and quickly looked at Fuzai: "Fuzai, where is Haochen?"

Fuzai hesitated for a moment before asking, "Walnut, what did you and Haochen see? Why did Haochen rush out like a madman as soon as he woke up? And Haochen's eyes looked so scary."

After thinking for a moment, Walnut said to Fuzai, "Fuzai, Haochen didn't come to our house today, and we haven't seen Haochen either."

Before Fu-zai could ask any further questions, Walnut suddenly pulled Fu-zai aside: "Fu-zai, let's go to sleep and forget about this."

"Sleep, sleep?!" Fuzi was a little confused by Walnut's thoughts, but she knew that listening to Walnut was the right thing to do, after all, Walnut was her family.

On the other hand, Hao Chen couldn't accept the scene he saw at the last moment of his dream, but after calming down, he wondered if what he saw was real, and whether his eyes really wouldn't lie to him.

“It’s impossible for Bixie to harm the Four-Unlikes. It definitely wasn’t him. Maybe someone is impersonating Bixie and trying to frame him.”

As if comforting himself, or as if seeing through the truth, Hao Chen felt confused and had an urge to rush up to Tian Lu and question the truth of what happened back then.

But upon closer reflection, Hao Chen gave up. What good would knowing the truth do? This was ultimately not his world. Everything was just a dream world woven by Chen Ying, a parallel world infinitely close to the original comic.

"What does it mean to me whether it's true or false? I just want them to live well and be happy every day."

Hao Chen lay on the grass with vacant eyes and fell into a deep sleep, as if this was a way to escape everything.

At that moment, Tianlu suddenly opened his eyes in the cave, his face filled with terror, as if he had seen something he didn't want to see.

"Why am I dreaming about that incident from back then? I should have forgotten about it by now."

Tianlu's muttering disturbed Bixie, who rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "Tianlu, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

"Mm." Tianlu nodded, then hugged Bixie tightly: "Bixie, it's so good to have you here."

"Why are you being so mushy so late at night? Okay, let's go to sleep. We have things to do tomorrow."

Bixie complained about Tianlu's mushy words, but his body language betrayed him. He pulled Tianlu into his arms and rested his chin on Tianlu's head, saying, "Alright, Tianlu, go to sleep. I'm here, don't be afraid."

"Ok!"
