Chapter 221 Persuading the Four-Faced Beast to Confess
Although Hao Chen agreed to let the Four-Faced Beast stay and temporarily act as Tian Lu's substitute, he also understood that this was not a long-term solution.
The best solution is to find Tianlu and then find a way to resolve the misunderstanding between him and the Four-Faced Beast.
In Hao Chen's view, although the four-legged creature was not the same as the four-legged creature in Tian Lu's heart, the feelings they had developed over the years of living together could not be erased.
Based on what the four-legged creature said, and with his own guesses, Hao Chen roughly figured out why Tian Lu had left.
In Hao Chen's view, the main reason Tianlu ran away from home was because Tianlu discovered that what he thought was a strange creature was actually a white Qilin.
But in the mirror, he saw a yellow deer.
The fact that the four-legged creature inside and outside the mirror looked different made Tianlu feel uneasy and even angry. Feeling deceived, he scratched the four-legged creature in a moment of panic. Therefore, Tianlu chose to flee the deer man's shop with guilt and unease.
"If Chen Ying is not lying, we will need Tian Lu and Bi Xie's help to leave here."
"So the most urgent task is to find Tianlu first. I don't believe that Tianlu would be completely without feelings for the Four-Faced Beast."
Thinking of this, Hao Chen decided to go and discuss it with the Four-Faced Beast, and together they would go find Tian Lu.
The Qilin was originally anxious because Tianlu left, but thanks to Haochen's arrival, it was temporarily spared the possibility of being discovered by the Heavenly Court.
So, after having some free time, the four-legged creature decided to treat itself to some fishing and leisurely fished by the pond in its backyard.
When the four-legged creature saw that it was Hao Chen, it pointed to the recliner next to it and said, "Pipi, do you want to go fishing together?"
Hao Chen shook his head: "No, I'm not interested in fishing."
The four-legged creature didn't say anything about this and continued to focus on fishing.
Hao Chen did not object to the four-legged creature calling him "Pipi," since he had already agreed to be Tianlu's stand-in, so he should naturally inherit the name "Pipi."
At this moment, Hao Chen noticed the empty chair next to the four-legged creature and became curious. This chair must have been where Rabbit God sat.
After all, only Rabbit Lord would stick close to the Four-Faced Beast, but the Four-Faced Beast is still fishing here, so why did Rabbit Lord leave first?
Hao Chen jumped onto Rabbit God's chair and lay down comfortably: "Four-Legged Beast, why didn't Rabbit God go fishing with you today?"
The four-legged creature said with dissatisfaction, "What else could it be? I'm just busy with work."
When Hao Chen heard that Rabbit Lord was not here because of work, his eyes lit up and he jumped off the chair.
He then quickly walked to the four-legged creature's side, pushed off the ground, and jumped directly onto the creature's lap.
The four-legged creature looked at Hao Chen, who was familiar with it, and couldn't help but feel speechless: "Why are you just like Pi Pi? Why don't you sit on a proper chair and instead sit on me?"
"What does it matter? It's so comfortable to lie on you because you're so soft."
As Hao Chen spoke, he kept rubbing his face against the fur of the four-legged creature, truly treating it like a large, fluffy animal.
Although the four-legged creature felt very awkward about this, it acquiesced to Hao Chen's actions because it needed his help.
Hao Chen noticed the Four-Faced Beast's tolerance towards him, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, making his actions even more unrestrained.
"Hey, if you're going to sit down, sit properly. Don't keep moving around on me. You're scaring the fish away."
The four-legged creature couldn't stand Hao Chen rubbing against it, so it slapped Hao Chen's butt.
Now, Haochen couldn't move around anymore, so he had no choice but to lie obediently on the legs of the four-legged creature.
A gentle breeze blew, and the faint scent of grass and trees emanating from the Qilin made Haochen feel his eyelids grow heavy.
A moment later, the four-legged creature heard a soft snoring sound coming from Hao Chen's body.
"Are you asleep? Are you that comfortable?"
In order not to disturb Haochen's sleep, the four-legged creature simply put the fishing rod aside and gave up on fishing.
Looking at Hao Chen sleeping on his lap, the Four-Faced Beast thought of Tian Lu: "Upon closer inspection, apart from the color, Hao Chen looks too much like Pi Pi. They're practically identical."
The four-legged creature subconsciously mistook Haochen for Tianlu, and habitually stretched out its claws to gently scratch Haochen's chin.
Hao Chen felt so comfortable when the four-legged creature tickled him that he rolled over, exposing his belly.
"Hey, be careful, don't fall."
When the four-legged creature saw Hao Chen turn over, it quickly hugged him to prevent him from accidentally falling.
Hao Chen mumbled in a daze, "It's a four-legged creature, and you need to scratch its belly too."
"Okay, okay, I'll scratch you all."
……
Hao Chen didn't know how long he had slept, only that when he woke up, the Qilin was not sitting on the recliner, but was holding him and sleeping under the shade of a tree.
However, the four-legged creature didn't sleep well, and its drool soaked the fur on its chest.
But Hao Chen felt that the four-legged creature was so relaxed and comfortable at this moment.
Moreover, Hao Chen didn't find the drooling, four-legged creature disgusting at all; instead, he found it strangely adorable.
This also made Hao Chen so engrossed in watching the four-legged creature sleep that he didn't notice at all that the creature's snoring had stopped at some point.
"Hmm, Pipi, when did you wake up?" The four-legged creature yawned and reached under its mask to rub its sleepy eyes.
"It's a strange creature, I just woke up too,"
Hao Chen pretended to have just woken up. He didn't intend to tell the Four-Faced Beast that he had not only woken up long ago, but had also been watching the Four-Faced Beast sleep for a long time.
The four-legged creature stretched out its claws, picked up Haochen, put him on the ground to the side, and then tried to get up.
But the next moment, the four-legged creature's legs went numb, and it staggered a few steps before falling.
Fortunately, Hao Chen reacted quickly, enlarging his body and stepping in front of the Qilin, causing it to fall onto him.
"Four-Unlikes, are you alright?" Hao Chen felt a little guilty. He knew that if he hadn't been sleeping on Four-Unlikes's lap, Four-Unlikes's legs wouldn't have gone numb.
The four-legged creature shook its head: "It's nothing, I'll be fine after a rest."
In an instant, the Qilin suddenly realized what was happening, touched Hao Chen's body beneath it, and said in disbelief, "Hao Chen, you can actually grow bigger."
"Of course, I never said I wouldn't grow bigger."
Hao Chen held his head high, enjoying the praise from the four-legged creature, but didn't forget to remind him, "By the way, four-legged creature, I'm playing Pipi now, so you'd better not call me by the wrong name, or it'll be hard to explain if Qingniao sees it."
"I see, isn't this too surprising?" The Qilin realized that it had been careless just now. Fortunately, after looking around, it did not find any trace of the Bluebird.
And lately, for some reason, the Bluebird is often not by my side. Although I agree to this change, I am not quite used to it.
"Alright, since you can't walk now, I'll carry you on my back."
Without waiting for the four-legged creature's agreement, Hao Chen carried it on his back and headed into the forest.
"Pipi, where are you going? Isn't the Deer Man Shop over there?"
"And Pipi, you should change back, otherwise it will be terrible if Qingniao sees you. I can walk by myself if I rest here."
The four-legged creature looked around nervously, fearing that the bluebird might suddenly appear from somewhere and report this scene to the Heavenly Court.
Hao Chen recalled that when he separated from Walnut, he asked Walnut to help keep the Bluebird occupied during this time. He guessed that the Bluebird was being played with by Walnut like a ball right now.
Thinking of this, Hao Chen smiled and said, "Don't be afraid of the Qilin. Qingniao has been busy lately and doesn't have time to take care of us."
"And I didn't go to the wrong place. I'll take you to find Tianlu."
Upon hearing Hao Chen's purpose, the four-legged creature was startled: "Huh? Looking for Pipi?"
"What 'ah'? You Qi Bu Xiang, just tell me if you want Tianlu to come back."
"I would like to, but would Pipi agree to come back?"
"Yes, if he doesn't come back, I'll just kidnap him and bring him back." Hao Chen said confidently, as if he had already brought Tianlu back.
The Four-Faced Beast was also in a dilemma. On the one hand, it naturally wanted Tianlu to come back, but on the other hand, it didn't know how to face Tianlu when the time came.
Hao Chen felt the four-legged creature tugging at his back fur because of its inner turmoil, so he had no choice but to say, "Four-legged creature, have you ever thought that it's time to be honest with Tian Lu?"
"To be honest?" After pondering for a long time, the four-legged creature sighed, "Alas, Haochen, you are right. Perhaps it is time to be honest."
When I was little, Pipi saved me, but I never imagined that this would create a karmic connection between us. Now that things have come to this, I shouldn't keep it from him anymore.
Hearing the heaviness in Sixiang's words, Haochen didn't know how to comfort it. He could only say, "Sixiang, don't be so discouraged. Rabbit Lord is still waiting for you. And I believe that Tianlu will eventually understand."
"Hopefully!"
After saying that, the four-legged creature lay down on Hao Chen's back, and Hao Chen slowed down, and they slowly walked into the forest.
