Chapter 320 Hao Chen, who "plays with emotions"
Inside the Deer Man shop, the four-legged creature lay leisurely on a recliner.
Previously, the Qilin was worried for a long time because of the matter of warding off evil spirits, fearing that the Heavenly Court would find out, and it couldn't sleep well.
But after waiting for several days without any intervention from the Heavenly Court, the Four-Faced Beast believed Hao Chen's words and relaxed.
With the store's affairs being handled by hardworking employees like Meimei, and Rabbit Lord's help if all else fails, the Four-Faced Beast has suddenly entered its old-age beast mode, thinking about how to reward itself every day.
Just then, Rabbit God came over carrying a plate of sliced peaches: "Sisi, quickly try the peaches I just sliced."
The four-legged creature initially didn't think much of it, but after glancing at the peach sliced in the Rabbit Lord's hand, it was immediately attracted by the peach's color: "This peach, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?!"
Before the four-legged creature could think further, a unique peach aroma wafted over, whetting its appetite.
The four-legged creature disregarded everything else and directly opened its mouth to bite the peach that Rabbit Lord offered.
As the peach went down, the four-legged creature immediately felt a warm sensation in its belly, as if it were soaking in a hot spring.
"It feels so good." The four-legged creature was a little surprised. He had eaten a lot of peaches, but few peaches could give him this feeling. It was as if he had received a full-body massage, and the bones that were aching were suddenly healed.
"Rabbit Master, where did you buy these peaches? Buy more next time." The four-legged creature licked its lips, looking like it hadn't had enough.
"I'm glad you like the four-legged creature. I found this peach in Haochen's den."
Seeing that the four-legged creature liked peaches, Rabbit was also very happy and forked another piece of peach to hold to the four-legged creature's mouth.
"Uh!!" When the four-legged creature heard that the peach belonged to Hao Chen, its face froze. It didn't know whether to eat the peach or not: "Rabbit Lord, if you just take Hao Chen's peach like this, he'll skin us alive when he finds out!"
"It's alright, I've taken care of everything." Rabbit smiled faintly: "I put some of Pipi's fur in Haochen's nest. If Haochen finds that the peaches are missing, he'll just assume that Pipi ate them."
"That's good." Hearing that Pipi would help take the blame, the Qilin was immediately relieved and ate the peaches one after another.
The plate of peaches was quickly devoured by the four-legged creature and the rabbit.
"It tastes good. I'll check out what good stuff Haochen has in his nest next time."
The four-legged creature wiped the juice from the corner of its mouth, lay back on the recliner, and resumed its original lazy posture.
But just then, the four-legged creature seemed to hear something, its ears twitching slightly: "Rabbit Master, did you hear the knocking?"
"Knocking on the door?" Upon hearing what the four-legged creature said, Rabbit immediately put down the bowl in his hand, got up and walked towards the door: "I'll go see if we have any guests."
"Wait for me, I'll come too." The four-legged creature also got up.
However, when the four-legged creature opened the door, it turned out that the person knocking was not a customer, but Walnut and Meimei.
Walnut scratched the back of his head sheepishly: "That strange creature, I forgot my keys."
"..." The four-legged creature shook its head, then turned to look at Meimei: "Meimei, you forgot your keys too?"
When asked this question by the four-legged creature, Meimei immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.
Meimei, who always considered himself an outstanding employee of the Deer Man store, never expected that one day he would forget to bring his keys, which made him feel a little frustrated.
The four-legged creature didn't care about this, after all, it was already used to Walnut's forgetfulness, but it didn't expect that Meimei would also be infected.
While the four-legged creature was still discussing the key, Rabbit noticed Rice Candy behind Walnut and Seventy-Seven on the cart.
"What is this? The meat you ordered, the four-legged beast?!" Rabbit Master said, pointing at Seventy-Seven on Rice Candy's cart.
At the same time, Rabbit Lord was also a little puzzled. Usually, the meat that Four-Unlikes buys is pork, chicken, and occasionally beef. When did it become so generous as to buy Pixiu meat... wait... Pixiu meat?
"Is this a Pixiu?!" Rabbit Lord rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked at the cart again. It had a fluffy body, a big black tail, and a small golden horn on its head.
There's no mistake, it looks about 70-80% like Pipi and Haochen. If it weren't for the black square marks on their legs, Rabbit Lord would have thought that the one lying on them was Haochen.
Even the Rabbit God himself wouldn't believe it if you said it wasn't a Pixiu.
"Four-Legged Beast, Four-Legged Beast, look over there! Isn't that a Pixiu?" Rabbit Lord hurriedly tugged at Four-Legged Beast's arm, gesturing for him to look in the direction of Seventy-Seven.
Pulled by Rabbit Lord, the Qilin looked over and was instantly startled, rubbing its eyes under the mask with its paws.
After seeing the reactions of the four-legged creature and the rabbit, Walnut excitedly stretched out its paw towards Meimei: "See, I won! I told you the four-legged creature would be scared."
"Okay, okay, here you go." Meimei reluctantly took out a roasted lizard and handed it to Walnut.
Meanwhile, Meimei was somewhat unconvinced, muttering that Walnut was cheating. He was the one who guessed first that the four-legged creature would be startled, but Walnut beat him to it.
"Walnut, what's going on? Where did you meet this guy?" After seeing Walnut and Meimei's actions, the Four-Unlikes immediately realized that they must know something.
After Walnut and Meimei explained with both hands and feet, the Four-Faced Beast understood that Walnut and the others' encounter with this strange Pixiu was purely accidental.
"This matter is of great importance. Should I report it to the Heavenly Court?" The Qilin hesitated and grabbed the bluebird beside it.
Although the Qilin also disliked dealing with the little golden statues of the Heavenly Court, it had to admit that the Heavenly Court was more professional than the Qilin in healing diseases and saving beasts because it had all sorts of magical treasures, instruments and spells.
Before the Four-Faced Beast could think further, Rabbit Lord, after examining Seventy-Seven's body, suddenly exclaimed, "Four-Faced Beast, come quick! This Pixiu seems to be dying!"
"What?!" The Qilin was shocked. It hadn't figured out the origin of this Pixiu yet. It hoped it wouldn't die.
The four-legged creature prayed silently while quickly stepping forward to check on Seventy-Seven's condition.
After working together with Rabbit Lord to lift Seventy-Seven off the stroller and bring her back to the Four-Faced Beast's bed, Seventy-Seven's entire body was instantly exposed to the Four-Faced Beast and the others.
Looking at Seventy-Seven, who seemed to be a carbon copy of Hao Chen, the Four-Faced Beast had already come to believe that Seventy-Seven was the Pixiu.
Just as the four-legged creature was in a daze, Walnut and Meimei curiously came over.
Walnut reached its paws towards Seventy-Seven's head and started playing with Seventy-Seven's horns: "Hey, Meimei, his horns are so small."
"Really? Let me see!" Meimei became interested in the seventy-seven horns after hearing what Walnut said.
"I heard that touching the horn of a Pixiu will bring good luck..." Mei Mei looked at the unconscious Qi Shiqi on the bed, her eyes lit up, and her claws were itching to reach out towards Qi Shiqi.
"Little Horn?!" The Qilin subconsciously looked at Qiqi's horn and found that it was indeed smaller than Tianlu's and Haochen's. It nudged Rabbit Lord and said, "I heard that the little horn of the Pixiu is the mother. Do you think it is a mother?"
Rabbit Lord shook his head: "I don't know. I don't think I've ever heard Pipi mention that he has any other relatives. But they might be from outside."
At the same time, Rabbit Lord couldn't help but imagine that Pipi and the Pixiu in front of him would fall in love and then the two beasts would reproduce together.
Then a bunch of little Pixiu appeared, mouths agape, begging the Qilin (a mythical creature) for its treasures to eat...
Thinking of this, Rabbit couldn't help but shudder.
"Ugh...it's so noisy...it's so itchy..."
Seventy-seven struggled to wave its paws, feeling a lot of noise around it, as if someone was talking incessantly in its ear, or as if someone was constantly touching its face.
"Oh, the Four-Unlikes is awake." Walnut, who was kneading Seventy-Seven's face, saw Seventy-Seven's paws move and quickly called for the Four-Unlikes.
Meimei quickly stopped what she was doing with her paws and quietly put away the Pixiu hair from her paws.
"Oh, you're awake. Looks like you're alright." Seeing that Seventy-Seven had woken up, the Four-Faced Beast breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that he was awake meant that the problem wasn't serious.
"Huh?! It's a hybrid of two species. Looks like it was a success. Is this Big Brother's world? It looks just like mine."
After secretly observing the Four-Unlikes and Rabbit Lord, Seventy-Seven noticed a hint of wariness in their eyes and instantly realized that he had successfully entered Hao Chen's world from his own.
However, at this moment, Seventy-Seven suddenly noticed that Hao Chen was not in the room, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But soon, Seventy-Seven shook her head, thinking that Hao Chen must not know that she had come to find him, otherwise he would not be here.
Seventy-Seven blinked her watery eyes at the Four-Unlikes: "Four-Unlikes, do you know where Haochen went?"
"Looking for Haochen? Is it another romantic entanglement caused by Haochen?"
The four-legged creature realized that the Pixiu in front of it was most likely a female Pixiu, and since it had come to find Haochen, it couldn't help but imagine a tragic drama unfolding in its mind.
"Rabbit Master, do you think it's possible that Hao Chen toyed with the other person's feelings and then cruelly abandoned her, and now she's come knocking on his door demanding an explanation?"
Rabbit stroked his chin and nodded in agreement: "What you said makes a lot of sense. After all, given Hao Chen's personality, it's not impossible."
The Four-Unlikes and the Rabbit God recalled Hao Chen's habit of teasing furry creatures. Almost all the beasts in the shop had been petted by Hao Chen over and over again, so it wouldn't be surprising if there was another Pixiu from outside.
In this regard, it can only be said that Haochen has a good reputation.
"Ah! Ahh!"
Outside the deer-themed store, Hao Chen kept sneezing. His intuition told him that someone was talking badly about him.
