There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 133 The Present World - A Chance Encounter with the Nine-Tailed Fox, September

September is a white nine-tailed fox who has cultivated for more than two hundred years. Although September's true form is the nine-tailed fox, a mythical beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, September yearns for the life of humans in big cities.

Therefore, in September, she not only learned to adapt to human society, but also worked at Maitreya's company and supported herself by working.

On this day, the big boss of September, Maitreya Buddha, the future Buddha of the Western Paradise, suddenly had a whim and planned to organize a team-building activity by hiking the next day. So he arranged for September and the others to go out today to buy some things needed for the team-building activity.

After discussing with Xiaoyu, Xiaotian, and Aolie, Jiuyue decided to divide the work, with Jiuyue going to the supermarket to buy snacks and drinks.

But while walking down the street in September, I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around instinctively and saw a strange long-haired young man in ancient costume.

September scratched her head, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Was that you calling me?"

Hao Chen smiled and said, "September, if I didn't call you, was it a ghost?"

Now it was September's turn to be confused. She shouldn't know the other person, so why did he seem to know her very well?

"Excuse me, who are you? Do we know each other?"

Upon hearing Jiu Yue's words, Hao Chen was also taken aback for a moment, but then he understood.

Hao Chen thought that it might be because he rarely appeared in human form, and besides the fact that he and Jiu Yue had only met at the Pixiu fan meeting held by the Four-Faced Beast and during a trip to the Underworld, they had not had much contact at other times.

Therefore, she did not recognize Haochen immediately in September.

When Jiuyue saw that Haochen did not answer her question, she wondered if she had encountered a lunatic, so she turned her head and wanted to get away from Haochen.

When Hao Chen saw that Jiu Yue was about to leave, he became a little anxious. He was in an unfamiliar place and had finally met a familiar beast. He couldn't let her get away like that.

Hao Chen quickly chased after Jiu Yue, calling out, "Jiu Yue, wait! It's me!"

When Jiuyue heard Haochen's voice, she stopped and stared at Haochen's face for a long time. She thought to herself that he was a little handsome, but she was sure that she did not know him.

September racked her brains for a long time but still couldn't recognize Hao Chen: "Hey, who are you? Your voice sounds familiar. And how do you know my name?"

Seeing this, Hao Chen had no choice but to reveal his tail behind him and said, "It's me, Hao Chen. We met at the Deer Man's shop last time, don't you remember? It was the Pixiu fan meeting organized by the Four Unlikes!"

Looking at Hao Chen's fluffy black tail, which shimmered with a pale golden light in the sunlight, September felt it looked more and more familiar.

Furthermore, Hao Chen mentioned the Deer Man Shop, and Jiu Yue suddenly realized, "Oh, it's you."

Hao Chen nodded, thinking to himself that it was really not easy. He finally remembered. Next, he would have to find a way to get Jiu Yue to take him in for a while, so that he would have food and lodging.

While Hao Chen was still thinking about how to get Jiu Yue to take him in, he was infuriated by what Jiu Yue said next.

Suddenly, September said to Hao Chen, "Hao Chen, aren't you supposed to be the doorman for the Fourth Boss? How come you're in the capital? Did the Fourth Boss bring you here on his business trip?"

"Look, a guard dog?! September, you..." Hao Chen's forehead veins bulged, and his goodwill towards September vanished instantly.

"Hmm, what's wrong with me? By the way, Haochen, why do you look so angry?"

Hao Chen got even angrier when he saw that Jiu Yue seemed clueless about what had happened. However, considering that he was going to Jiu Yue's house to freeload later, he gritted his teeth and said to Jiu Yue, "I am a Pixiu, not a dog, and certainly not a guard dog."

Seeing Hao Chen's angry expression, Jiu Yue suddenly burst out laughing, clutching her stomach: "Hahaha~ Okay Hao Chen, I'm not teasing you anymore, I was just joking, don't be angry."

Hao Chen then realized that he had been tricked by Jiu Yue, but in order to get Jiu Yue to help him out, Hao Chen pretended to be unhappy and pouted, saying, "Jiu Yue, this joke is not funny at all."

Seeing that Haochen was still angry, Jiuyue suddenly thought of their team building activity tomorrow and realized that Laodu hadn't said they couldn't bring friends.

So in September, she coaxed, "Okay, don't be angry. You've come all this way for tomorrow, how about I take you shopping?"

Seemingly afraid that Haochen would disagree, Jiuyue added, "All expenses are covered, including a luxurious seafood feast."

"A feast?! Seafood?!" Hao Chen's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He had nowhere to go in the capital, so this was a perfect opportunity to have a feast with Jiu Yue.

Thinking of this, Hao Chen immediately forgot all his previous unpleasantness and excitedly grabbed Jiu Yue's hand, saying, "Okay, okay, in that case, let's go quickly."

"Hey, wait a minute, I still need to go to the supermarket to buy some things."

"Buying things? No problem, leave it to me. I can help you carry the food. Just buy whatever you want. If you don't have room to put it, you can put it in my stomach first." Hao Chen patted his stomach, looking like he was thinking of you.

Although September might not know all the mythical beasts, she did know about the Pixiu, a mythical beast that only takes in and never gives out. She couldn't help but complain, "Aren't you a Pixiu? You want to eat all that stuff in your stomach?! Are you sure you don't want to eat it all by yourself?"

"What are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Haochen, you're not even human, okay?"

So, although Jiuyue was a little reluctant, she still took Haochen to the supermarket to buy things. Fortunately, the company could reimburse these expenses, so Jiuyue didn't feel bad about it.

After successfully completing his shopping, Haochen excitedly carried the large and small bags and put them all into his personal space.

Upon seeing this in September, she said enviously, "Haochen, your ability is so convenient. If I had this ability, I wouldn't have to carry things so much when I go shopping."

After thinking for a moment, Hao Chen tossed a jade-like ring to Jiu Yue: "This storage ring is for you."

In September, she never expected that Hao Chen would give her a gift just because she casually mentioned it. After she took the storage ring, the method of using the storage ring automatically appeared in her mind.

After leaving her aura on the storage ring with her magic in September, she skillfully put the bag in her hand into the ring, then put it out again, and then put it back in.

Seeing that Jiuyue was playing with it with great enthusiasm, like a child who had just received a toy, Haochen had no choice but to stop her from continuing.

"Okay, you can play as long as you want from now on. Let's go home now."

"Okay, here we come."

September was in a much better mood after receiving the gift, and she took Haochen home.

On the way, September suddenly asked, "By the way, Haochen, why aren't you staying with Fourth Boss? What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Chen's eyes revealed a hint of sadness, and he then explained to Jiu Yue, "...That's how I came to be here."

Upon hearing this, tears streamed down her face in September: "Haochen, you're so pitiful. The Fourth Boss is exploiting you like this. No wonder you ran away from home."

When Hao Chen couldn't see in September, a sly glint appeared in his eyes. Then he pretended to groan and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it. It's just being forced to do heavy work every day, not being given enough to eat, and not being allowed to sleep properly. It's okay, I'll get used to it."

Upon hearing this, September's sympathy immediately surged: "How could nothing be wrong? You wait, I'll call and have a good talk with Si Bu Xiang right now. How can you mistreat your own employees?"

When Hao Chen saw that Jiu Yue had taken out her phone, he was stunned. He quickly snatched the phone from Jiu Yue and said, "Wait, don't say anything."

September was puzzled and thought that Hao Chen was afraid of offending the Four-Faced Beast and being retaliated against, so he patted his chest, raised his arm and clenched his fist and said, "Hao Chen, don't be afraid, Ninth Brother will back you up."

Hao Chen broke out in a cold sweat; he had just said it offhand.

The arduous work refers to patrolling the mountains every day to collect protection fees.

The idea that he's not getting enough to eat is nonsense. He's a Pixiu, a Pixiu that eats treasures. A Qilin that doesn't resemble anything else is just out of its mind; it wouldn't even feed itself gold.

He couldn't sleep well. Every day he either wanted to hug and gnaw on the body of the Qilin or play with the bell of the Zhanhu. Naturally, getting hooved by the Qilin's hooves became a daily occurrence. No wonder he couldn't sleep well.

If the Qilin knew that he was being portrayed like this, he would probably be subjected to the most terrifying tickling torture in the Deer Man Shop.

After much persuasion from Haochen, Jiuyue finally gave up on calling the Four-Faced Beast.

Hao Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself: I've survived this ordeal, but I can't let my mouth slip like that again.

Led by Jiu Yue, Hao Chen quickly arrived at her place.

Suddenly, September remembered something: "Haochen, I'm sorry to trouble you tonight. My brother is staying here too, so you can all sleep on the floor together tonight."

"Your brother?" Hao Chen asked, pretending not to recognize him.

"My brother's name is November, and he's also a nine-tailed fox. He's currently unemployed and freeloading off me."

Upon hearing this, Hao Chen looked somewhat embarrassed. Strictly speaking, he and Jiu Yue's brother were both just freeloading off Jiu Yue.

As the door opened, Hao Chen entered September's house and saw a white nine-tailed fox, about the size of a small dog, lounging on the sofa like Ge You, watching TV and eating snacks.

"This is November, September's older brother. He's so cute! His fur looks so soft and cuddly, I can't resist touching it!"

As Hao Chen mentally observed November, November also noticed Hao Chen beside September: "Little sister, have we had a guest?"

Looking at the messy living room, September punched November on the head: "November, you don't even know how to help clean up at home. If you keep this up, you're getting out."

"Ouch, that hurts!" November clutched the bump on her head and said pitifully, "Little sister, please don't send your brother away. He's already so pitiful."

"Cute!" Hao Chen suddenly muttered to himself.

Then, under September's shocked gaze and November's terrified expression, Hao Chen went directly to November and picked her up in his arms.

Then Haochen rubbed his head against November's belly, scaring November into struggling.

"Hey sis, what's wrong with your friend? Tell him to let me go!"

In September, she saw Yang Jian's shadow in Hao Chen and immediately slapped her forehead: "Alright, consider this a lesson for November."

Finally, out of desperation, November had no choice but to transform into a human-headed fox, which scared Haochen away.

Having regained her freedom, November dared not revert to her original form and instead transformed into human form, only in this way could she avoid being harassed by Haochen.

Meanwhile, inside the Di Palace, after having dinner, Little Skull also began his own actions.

Di Ting watched as Xiao Lou finished his meal and hurriedly left, and was immediately puzzled: "What's wrong with Xiao Lou? Did he not like the food?"

However, Di Ting didn't think too much about it, since the little skull had its own scent and there shouldn't be any danger.
