Chapter 139 The Present World - The Restless Haochen
Chapter 139 The Present World - The Restless Haochen
In the modern timeline, after arriving in the capital alone, Hao Chen happened to run into Jiu Yue, who was out shopping for team-building supplies, and naturally followed her home.
To Hao Chen's surprise, he actually saw November's nine-tailed fox form at September's house. It was so cute that Hao Chen couldn't help but pet it a few times.
However, November was clearly uncomfortable with Hao Chen's enthusiasm and quickly transformed into human form to get rid of Hao Chen's entanglement.
November came up to September and whispered, "Sis, where did you pick up this little black dog? It's so weird!"
Upon hearing what November said, September quickly covered November's mouth and said, "November, shut up! He's not a little black dog, he's a real mythical beast, a Pixiu."
November nodded, indicating that he understood, and then pried September's hands off. But when he turned to look at Hao Chen, he saw Hao Chen looking at him with unfriendly eyes.
"I heard you!" Hao Chen said with a dark face, "My name is Hao Chen, Pixiu Hao Chen, not BT."
In November, she clasped her hands together and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, you really do look too much like Yang Jian."
"Hmph!" Hao Chen snorted coldly, ignoring November, since she was in human form and held no appeal for him.
November was happy to see this, and in order to avoid being harassed by Haochen, she simply kept her human form.
After looking around Jiuyue's home, Haochen found that Jiuyue's place was a bit small, not as nice as the Deer Man Shop.
But soon, Hao Chen realized a problem: he seemed to only see a bed.
"By the way, September, where are you sleeping tonight?"
"Of course I'm sleeping in the bed, Haochen, that's a strange question!"
Hao Chen's face stiffened. If Jiu Yue slept on the only bed, wouldn't he have to sleep on the floor?
When Hao Chen asked the question, Jiu Yue's fists hardened instantly. She thought to herself, "Good heavens, I kindly took you in, and you actually want to turn the tables and make me sleep on the floor?"
September pointed at November and said, "Haochen, tonight you either sleep on the floor, or you and November can make do with sleeping on the sofa. Anyway, the sofa is just right for the two of you in your beast forms."
November, who had been watching the drama unfold with great interest, immediately hugged September's leg and cried after hearing that September actually wanted him to sleep with Hao Chen, "Little sister, look at me, I'm already so pitiful that I can only sleep on the sofa, please don't give me any weird sleeping partners!?"
"Strange, weird sleeping partner?!? Are you talking about me?"
Upon hearing November's words, Hao Chen immediately became displeased. He grabbed November's neck, exerted a little force, and directly exposed his true form before lifting him up.
"November!" The sudden turn of events startled September, who quickly said to Haochen, "Wait a minute, Haochen, November didn't mean it."
Hao Chen winked at Jiu Yue, using his eyes to tell her that he was just joking with November and to put her mind at ease.
September understood perfectly and didn't care anymore, which was just as good as letting November suffer a bit.
"November, do you have a problem with me?" Hao Chen reached out his other hand and pinched November's cheek, saying fiercely.
Seeing this, November decisively chose to follow her heart, frantically shaking her head and saying, "No, no!"
"What's so shameful about sleeping on the sofa with me? We're both mythical beasts, what are you afraid of?"
When Hao Chen said this, he had already put November down, but he kept rubbing November's face with both hands, and sometimes he would pinch November's paws.
November felt a bitter taste in his mouth. At this moment, he remembered who Hao Chen was. When he was chatting with Bai Ze before, Bai Ze mentioned Hao Chen, saying that he was a furry fanatic and that November and his friends should avoid him if they met him.
Originally, November didn't understand what Bai Ze meant, but now November does, it's just a little too late.
After being kneaded and squeezed by Hao Chen, November was forced to agree to remain in her nine-tailed fox form for the rest of the night.
After dealing with November's matter, Hao Chen looked at September and said, "September, do you think the sofa is a bit too small for the two of us? Why don't you sleep here..."
Before Hao Chen could finish speaking, Jiu Yue crossed her arms and refused, saying, "Absolutely not! This is my house. Why should I sleep on the sofa? I won't!"
Seeing that Jiuyue refused so decisively, Haochen didn't say anything more. After all, he was just there to freeload, and it wouldn't be right for him to take the lead, especially since Jiuyue was a female fox.
However, Hao Chen's eyes darted around, and he looked at Jiu Yue with a sly smile: "By the way, Jiu Yue, you've lived here for so long, do you know a lot of mythical beasts?"
September didn't think too much about it, quickly flashing through her mind the mythical beasts she knew: "Let me think... Lie Lie, Xiao Tian, Jing Wei, Xiao Yu, Bai Ze, Zhu Huo, Dou Dou..."
"Stop!" Hao Chen suddenly shouted. He was overjoyed, thinking that he might be able to use this opportunity to develop his new business.
September was a little confused as to why she wasn't allowed to continue, but then Hao Chen's eyes lit up as he asked, "Um, is they going hiking tomorrow too?"
September shook her head: "How could that be? People like Bai Ze aren't from our company, so naturally they wouldn't go. You were just an accident."
"Oh, I see." Hao Chen immediately felt a little regretful: "Couldn't we have invited them to come along?"
"Well? Old Du didn't seem to say anything about not being able to invite other people... Eh!"
Upon hearing Jiuyue's words, Haochen excitedly grabbed her hand: "Jiuyue, since that's the case, why don't you invite them to come and play together? It's more fun with more people, isn't it?!"
"But, but..."
Seeing that Jiuyue hesitated, Haochen patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I know Dashi very well."
"Haochen is talking nonsense, right? I've never seen Dashi contact him." September thought to herself.
Seeing that Jiu Yue seemed somewhat doubtful, Hao Chen became anxious. He didn't want to miss such a rare opportunity.
Hao Chen held Jiu Yue's hand, feigning sadness, and said, "Jiu Yue, I never expected you to distrust me so much. It really breaks my heart!!!"
"Uh... alright, alright, I'll give up. I'll ask them for you, but I can't guarantee they'll be willing to come."
Seeing Hao Chen like this, Jiu Yue got goosebumps all over her body and had no choice but to agree to help him ask.
At this moment, November suddenly said, "Haochen, aren't you very familiar with Bai Ze? Why don't you ask him yourself?"
November's words made Hao Chen's face darken, and he said with some dissatisfaction, "I've been blocked by Bai Ze!"
"Sure enough, with your personality, even a ghost would block you!" November muttered to herself.
Although the voice was soft, Hao Chen still heard it, and his already dark face turned even darker.
After agreeing to Hao Chen's request in September, Bai Ze and the others contacted them. Zhu Huo readily agreed, but Bai Ze immediately refused after hearing that Hao Chen would be going on the mountain climb.
When Jiuyue told Haochen about Bai Ze's rejection, Haochen immediately handed Jiuyue a photo album without saying a word, saying, "Take a picture of the cover of this album and show it to Bai Ze. I believe he will make the right choice."
"What is this?" September took the album and looked at it, and found that the cover of the album was titled "Bai Ze Photo Album".
Out of curiosity, September flipped through the photo album and took a look, but the next moment she showed a gossipy expression.
"Haochen, where did you get these photos? I don't remember Bai Ze posing in such a flamboyant way."
In September, Bai Ze was seen lying on the bed in human form, winking at her. It looked as if Bai Ze was saying: "Come play, little brother!"
Hao Chen shook his head: "How would I know? I borrowed this from Di Ting."
"You're awesome! If Bai Ze sees this photo, I feel like he'll tear you apart!" September gave Hao Chen a thumbs up.
Despite what she said in September, she still sent the album cover to Bai Ze as Hao Chen requested, and even specially chose that flirtatious photo from earlier to send to Bai Ze as well.
Sure enough, the next moment Bai Ze sent an angry emoji, along with the message: "Hao Chen, you just wait."
Hao Chen picked his nose nonchalantly. He was tired of hearing this kind of talk from the Qi Xiang. Bai Ze was just saying it, and it wasn't as interesting as the Qi Xiang's hooves. It was really not original at all.
Just then, November suddenly caught sight of the Bai Ze photo album in September's hand, and her heart skipped a beat: No way, could this be a photo I took dressed up as Bai Ze to earn some extra money?
November's slight change in expression was noticed by September: "November, tell me honestly, did you put this photo on someone else?"
"Haha~ How could that be, little sister? Look at my sincere eyes."
"Sincere my foot! November, I think the Bai Ze in this photo is you in disguise! You better behave yourself."
As November's younger sister, September immediately saw through November's guilty conscience and promptly gave her a hard punch.
Under September's loving guidance, November covered her head and admitted that the Bai Ze in the photo was herself.
It turns out that a few months ago, in November, she took a modeling job in order to earn some pocket money.
When he arrived at the scene, he discovered that he was to be transformed into Bai Ze. Because of the generous reward, November readily accepted.
After listening to November's words, Hao Chen's eyes lit up. That's right, how could he forget that he could use the Transformation Technique?
From now on, I can become whatever fluffy I want. Tianlu, Bixie, Qilin, Zhanhu, even walnuts are no problem... I can do whatever I want with them.
Seeing Hao Chen lost in thought, drooling at the corner of his mouth, Jiu Yue suddenly slapped her forehead. Oh well, another one of them has gone mad. What a sin!
After Hao Chen came to his senses, he looked at November with a smile and said, "November, I have something I want to discuss with you, hehehe."
"Uh... Haochen, can you please stop laughing? It's scaring me!" November shrank back, feeling that Haochen had some ill intentions.
Hao Chen rubbed his hands together and said, "In November, let me ask you, how much money did you earn last time you worked as a model?"
"1000 yuan, how about that, am I awesome?" November said, extending a claw.
"Uh!!!" Now it was Hao Chen's turn to be a little surprised. He felt that the Qilin was quite generous this time, actually willing to pay 1000 yuan. He just didn't know how much the Qilin sold to Di Ting for.
September, standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch either. She couldn't understand her brother; he was clearly a top student, so why did he act like an idiot when it came to this? Sometimes she even worried that November would be sold out and still be counting the money for the seller.
"1000 yuan!" Hao Chen held up two fingers towards November and said, "You'll be my model tomorrow, and I'll tell you what to transform into, and you can transform into whatever I want. How about I give you 1000 yuan?"
"Deal." November agreed without hesitation.
On the other side, after angrily ending his chat with September, Bai Ze became increasingly irritated and immediately started browsing through his contacts on his phone.
Bai Ze quickly found his target and dialed the number directly.
The call was quickly connected, and Bai Ze said directly, "Shi Qilin, come to my place tomorrow. It's about Hao Chen..."
