There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 175 Tianlu Exorcises Demons

"Haochen, Pipi, if we encounter any demons, don't eat them yet. Our goal is to take down their lair," the four-legged creature instructed.

"I know, you've said it several times already. It's just about catching a little demon and interrogating it first, right? I understand."

Tianlu's mouth watered at the thought that after dealing with those wicked demons, the monsters of Black Cloud Mountain would give him gold and jade.

After Tianlu understood, the Qilin turned to Haochen, who was standing to the side looking sullen, and asked, "Haochen, what about you?"

"Hmph, I know, I'll listen to you then." Hao Chen turned his head away, feeling resentful: It was clearly my idea, why should you take half of what I came up with?

However, Hao Chen only thought these words in his heart and dared not say them in front of the Four-Faced Beast, otherwise the Four-Faced Beast probably wouldn't give him even a little bit.

Given the Four-Faced Beast's personality, Hao Chen was certain that he was absolutely capable of doing such a thing. In fact, if Tianlu hadn't eaten it on the spot, the Four-Faced Beast might have found a reason to take it back in the end.

Just as the Four-Unlikes and their companions reached the territory of Black Cloud Mountain, three little monsters suddenly jumped out with knives and blocked their way.

"Hey! Stop right there!"

"What kind of demon came from, daring to trespass on my Black Cloud Mountain!"

The four-legged creature was initially startled by the sudden appearance of the three little demons, thinking it had encountered a formidable opponent.

But after careful observation, the Qilin realized that the three little demons blocking their way were really just little demons. After looking at Tianlu and Haochen beside him, he felt relieved.

The Qilin was secretly delighted. It hadn't expected that the demons of Black Cloud Mountain would deliver themselves to their doorstep, without them having to go through the trouble of searching for them.

However, just as the Four-Faced Beast was about to try and get some information out of them to see if they had seen Xu Hengji, Tianlu suddenly jumped in front of the Four-Faced Beast and looked at them arrogantly.

"Ha! You're the demons! I'm here to take your grandpas! Surrender now, or I'll eat you all up..."

"Pipi, well done! This time you... wait?! Pipi, what's wrong with you? This isn't the plan!"

While the Four-Faced Beast was still praising Tianlu in its heart, the next moment it saw Tianlu fall backward and lie unconscious on the ground before it could finish speaking, which startled the Four-Faced Beast.

Then the Qilin heard the three little demons on the other side laughing wildly.

"Hahaha, serves you right for talking tough! Now you're unconscious!"

"This is the kind of thing you have the nerve to say you're going to take us in?!"

Seeing the unconscious mushrooms in the hands of the little demons, the Qilin immediately understood what was going on. Fortunately, this time he brought not only Tianlu but also Haochen with him.

But when the Qilin turned its head to look in Haochen's direction, it was immediately dumbfounded. The spot where Haochen had been standing was now empty.

"No, are you kidding me? Where did Haochen go?"

Seeing the little demons walking towards him, the Qilin's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He rubbed his paws and said, "Brothers, I'm just here for sightseeing. Since we're not welcome here, we'll leave now."

"Leave? Once you've come to our Black Cloud Mountain, don't leave. Otherwise, it would seem very impolite of us."

As they spoke, the three little demons had already surrounded the Qilin, and one of the little demons skillfully pulled out two ropes from behind its back.

"A rope?!" The Qilin now realized the seriousness of the problem.

However, he was really not good at fighting, so he could only warn the demons: "Don't come any closer, or you'll be in for it when my Pipi wakes up. I'm telling you, Pipi has a bad temper and he really will eat you up."

"Really? You said your dog has a bad temper? Like this?"

After hearing what the Qilin said, one of the little demons glanced at Tianlu lying on the ground and kicked him in the butt without thinking.

Even so, Tianlu showed no signs of waking up, which made the four-legged creature somewhat desperate: "No, Pipi, why did you let me down at this crucial moment? And Haochen, why aren't you showing up yet, or we're all going to be eaten."

No miracle occurred, and the Four-Faced Beast and Tianlu were tied up by Shui Lingling. Then, the three little demons happily dragged them back to their own base camp.

"Brother, these two look shiny and smooth, is His Majesty satisfied now?"

"Stop talking nonsense. These two are obviously demons from another mountain. We don't have any this fat ones in our mountain."

Listening to the conversation of the little demons in front of him, the Qilin was already imagining how they would eat him. Would they steam him or braise him? Surely they wouldn't eat him raw?

But just then, the Qilin suddenly saw Tianlu's eyelids twitch and then wink at him.

This instantly excited the Qilin, which whispered to Tianlu, "Pipi? Are you alright? Can you still fight?"

Tianlu gave the four-legged creature a reassuring look: "Don't worry, I was just pretending. I've eaten so many mushrooms, I'm not afraid anymore."

Hearing Tianlu's words, the Qilin finally felt relieved, but it was wondering where Haochen had gone and why he hadn't said a word.

Soon, the Qilin sensed that they had stopped and realized that they had reached their destination.

However, after learning that Tianlu was just pretending, the Qilin was no longer in a hurry. Instead, it listened to the conversation of these monsters with great interest.

The little demons walked up to a leopard demon and said, "We have captured two foreign demons today. Please take a look, Your Majesty."

When the leopard spirit heard someone call him "King," he first cautiously looked around to make sure no one else was there before patting his chest.

He then tapped the little demon on the head who had just called him king: "Do you want to die? Don't you know how ferocious that damned monkey is?"

Seeing that the little demon had wisely lowered its head, the leopard demon continued, "Ahem, be careful next time, understand? Where are the other outside demons? Let me see."

"I understand, Your Majesty. Please take a look."

"Oh my, both of them have smooth skin and shiny fur, much more pleasing to the eye than the old, weak, sick and disabled people in our mountain!"

The leopard spirit's eyes lit up when it saw the appearance of the four-legged creature and Tianlu. It quickly stepped forward and stroked the four-legged creature's soft fur.

The leopard thought to itself that since the quality of this product was so good, it might be even more effective for cultivation. It couldn't let that monkey have it for free. Once it had used it and its cultivation level had improved, it wouldn't have to be afraid of that monkey anymore.

The leopard demon said to the little demons waiting for praise, "You did a good job this time. Here are two chicken legs for you. And you know what you should and shouldn't say, right?"

Seeing the little demon nod obediently, assuring him that he knew nothing, the leopard demon excitedly grabbed the four-legged beast beside him, patted its rear end, and said, "Hmm, you're mine for tonight! From today onwards, you're my wife!"

The Qilin, which had been expressionless until now, froze instantly upon hearing the leopard demon's words, then exclaimed in shock, "What?! Aren't you going to eat me?"

Seeing that the leopard spirit didn't seem to be joking, the four-legged creature panicked and hurriedly said, "Wait, wait, look carefully, I'm male, I can't be your wife."

The Qilin initially thought the leopard spirit simply hadn't recognized that it was male, since it was quite confident in its appearance.

But to the strange creature's surprise, even though it had made it clear that it was a male beast, the leopard spirit said indifferently, "It doesn't matter whether you're male or female, I'm going to use you to practice my dual cultivation technique."

The leopard spirit pointed to Tianlu behind him and said, "From now on, you will be my first wife, and he will be my second wife."

"What? What are you training?" The Qilin was stunned by the leopard demon's words. He hadn't expected there to be such a monstrous creature, and a chill ran down his spine.

Just then, a voice rang out: "Reporting, Your Majesty! This one has no anus!"

Upon hearing the voice, the leopard demon was startled and quickly looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a little demon pointing at Tianlu's buttocks.

After confirming that the little demon wasn't lying, the leopard demon was somewhat disappointed: "What?! I didn't expect him to be a disabled demon? How am I supposed to use him for training now?!"

However, upon seeing the Qilin in his hand, the leopard demon immediately picked it up and prepared to leave: "Forget it, this is enough. You can eat the rest."

Seemingly anticipating its impending doom, the Qilin disregarded everything else and shouted at Tianlu, "Pipi?! What are you waiting for! If we don't act now, we're both going to die here!"

Before the leopard demon and the three little demons could react, Tianlu suddenly opened his eyes: "Alright, Qilin, I've been waiting for you to say that!"

"Woohoo! A bunch of lowly mountain demons dare to be arrogant in front of me!"

Amidst the terrified gazes of the leopard demon and the other demons, Tianlu exerted a force, and the ropes binding him instantly snapped into several pieces. Then, his body instantly grew larger.

After growing larger, Tianlu rescued the Qilin with a single claw, and then easily pinned the leopard demon and three little demons under its claws.

When the leopard demon realized what was happening, it felt as if it were being crushed by a mountain, unable to move. Only then did it realize that it had provoked the wrong beast.

So the leopard demon and his companions quickly begged for mercy: "Grandpa, please spare us! We were blind and didn't recognize your greatness!"

"Yes, yes, and we don't taste good at all, we don't have much meat on us, please have mercy!"

"Hehe." Tianlu grinned.

As the saying goes, a smile from a Pixiu can mean the difference between life and death. However, Tianlu was kind and did not let these little demons suffer.

After eating and drinking his fill, Tianlu burped and shrank back to the side of the Four-Faced Beast: "How is the Four-Faced Beast? Don't worry, I'm here."

"Yes, yes, Pipi, we really owe you a lot this time. I'll make you a big meal when we get back."

The four-legged creature, having survived the ordeal, affectionately stroked Tianlu's head, thinking that it was indeed time to reward Tianlu when they got back. If it weren't for him being there this time, its innocence would have been lost.

Soon, after dealing with the leopard demon's monstrous form, Tianlu led them to other monsters in Black Cloud Mountain. After some friendly negotiations, with Tianlu's help, the monstrous form received a satisfactory reward.

The operation to suppress bandits in Black Cloud Mountain has come to a successful conclusion, and the Four-Unlikes and Tianlu have returned to the Deer Man Shop.

Perhaps it was because it was tired from the trip, the Four-Faced Beast found a chair to lie down and rest, while Tianlu obediently lay on the Four-Faced Beast and slept.

Listening to the snoring of Tianlu sleeping on its body, the Qilin felt a heavy weight of love pressing down on it.

"Pipi seems to have gotten heavier again. Is it because he ate a few fairies? But have I forgotten something?"

Meanwhile, deep within Black Cloud Mountain, the house that the Holy Ape King was about to complete was now nothing but ruins.

The Holy Ape King stared at the two before him in shock: "Succubus, is he the one you've been waiting for?"

The succubus didn't answer the Holy Ape King's question, but instead looked at Hao Chen, who had transformed into human form, with a shy expression: "Brother Chen, I've finally found you."

Hao Chen looked at the woman in front of him with a complicated expression, his fingers stiffly touching the fox ears on her head: "Ru Yan, you shouldn't have appeared in front of me. Have you forgotten what I said before?"

The succubus, also known as Ruyan in Haochen's words, had her fox ears drooping and looked at Haochen with a pitiful expression: "Brother Chen, you really still won't forgive me? It's been thousands of years, I know I was wrong."

After staring at Ruyan for a long time, Haochen said, word by word, "In this life, we will never meet again. If we do meet again, I will kill you myself."

"Brother Chen, you're so cruel. We've been together for tens of thousands of years, and you're going to be so heartless for that Qilin, that tiger, and those two Pixiu?"

“You know how much they mean to me. I would do anything for them, but you dared to lay a hand on them.”

Hao Chen shoved Ru Yan away and said through gritted teeth, "Go away, don't come back, never come back."

"No, Brother Chen, I won't leave you this time. Even if I die, I will die by your hand."

Ruyan hugged Haochen tightly, pressed her face against his chest, listened to his heartbeat, and smiled contentedly. Then her body began to glow and dissipate, as if she was atoning for her sins in this way.

Hao Chen watched as Ru Yan gradually turned into light and dissipated before him. His eyes flickered, a tear fell, and he was lost in thought.

"Ruyan, you're so silly, so very silly..."
