There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 236 Peeping into Dreams

"Inari! This must be Walnut and the others' new home."

Based on the address given by Xiangtai, Haochen quickly found Fuzai and Hetao's new home.

Looking at the moon in the sky, Hao Chen hesitated. He wondered if coming to look for Walnuts so late would disturb his and Fu Zai's sleep.

However, if he wanted to enter Tianlu's dream, he could only do so at this time, since he came to look for walnuts only after confirming that Tianlu was asleep.

Ding dong ~ ding dong ~

As the doorbell rang, Hao Chen heard footsteps coming from inside the house, thinking that Walnut and the others probably hadn't gone to sleep yet.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Just as Hao Chen was wondering how to start the conversation, the door opened, and an adorable little fox stood in the doorway, looking at Hao Chen warily.

"Hello, my name is Haochen, and I live at the Sixiangfu family's house. I'm here to ask Walnut for help."

To dispel Fuzai's doubts, Haochen directly brought up the "four unlikes" (a mythical creature).

Sure enough, when Fuzai heard that Haochen knew the Four-Faced Beast, he immediately lowered his guard. After looking Haochen over, he called out into the house, "Walnut, your friend is here to see you."

"coming!"

After answering from inside the house, Walnut hurriedly came to the door. When he saw Haochen, he was first stunned, then suddenly realized: "Oh, it's you, brother."

Hao Chen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Walnut recognized him. It seemed that Walnut had not forgotten him, which made things much easier from now on.

"I haven't properly thanked you for what happened last time, Walnut. Now let's formally introduce ourselves. My name is Haochen."

Since Haochen had met Walnut through a dream, he felt it was necessary to formally introduce himself to her.

However, taking the opportunity to thank Walnut for her help, Haochen grabbed Walnut's paw and touched it a couple of times, and even subtly pinched Walnut's paw pads.

Fortunately, Walnut's personality is somewhat similar to Tianlu's; they are both easygoing about certain things and didn't think much of it when Haochen pinched his paw pads.

However, Hao Chen's supposedly discreet action was seen by Fu Zai, which immediately made Fu Zai uneasy: "What's wrong with this guy? Why is he touching my walnut so intimately?"

Fuzai's gaze towards Haochen carried a hint of hostility, which puzzled Haochen, who was aware of Fuzai's gaze. He wondered what was wrong with Fuzai and why she looked at him like he was a mistress.

Unable to figure it out, Hao Chen simply stopped thinking about it and smiled at Fu Zai.

Fuzai frowned and glanced at Haochen, then tugged at Walnut and whispered, "Walnut, how did you two meet?"

Upon hearing this, Walnut quickly explained, "Fu-zai, he is the owner of the strange dream I told you about a few days ago."

Upon hearing that Walnut said she had only met Haochen in a dream, Fuzai immediately gave Haochen a sweet smile: "Um, I forgot. Come in and sit down, I'm so sorry."

Looking at Fuzai's ever-changing expression, Haochen thought to himself, "Is this what girls are like? What a hassle. I can't understand what they're thinking at all. I always feel like I might offend them for no reason."

"As expected, Zhanhu, who speaks his mind and has no ulterior motives, is the best fit for me."

Hao Chen thought to himself, but his body didn't hesitate at all. After thanking them, he went into Walnut Fuzi's house.

After confirming that Haochen wouldn't take the walnuts from her, Fuzai also showed the demeanor of a virtuous wife. She guessed that Haochen must have something to say to the walnuts since he came to find them so late at night.

So Fuzai brought Haochen to the living room, and then brought over two glasses of juice: "I'm so sorry, I was in such a hurry that I didn't prepare any tea."

Hao Chen waved his hand: "It's okay, I don't like tea anyway, juice is fine."

Fuzai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then got up to leave, leaving the place to Haochen and Walnut: "Then you two chat, I'm leaving first, you can call me if you need anything."

After Fuzai left, Walnut immediately looked at Haochen seriously: "Haochen, what brings you here so late at night?"

Looking at the walnut that had changed so much, Hao Chen could hardly believe it. He still preferred the carefree walnut.

"Sure enough, Walnut didn't want Fuzai to worry, so she pretended to be indifferent."

Having figured this out, Hao Chen also explained his purpose in coming to find walnuts.

"Walnut, you are Mengji. I wonder if you can take me to Tianlu's dream?"

"Tianlu?! Who is that?"

Seeing the puzzled look on Walnut's face, Hao Chen suddenly remembered that Walnut didn't seem to know that Tianlu was Pipi's real name, so he explained, "Tianlu is Pipi, your buddy."

When Hearing that Hao Chen wanted to go to Pi Pi's dream, Walnut was immediately disappointed. He had been to Pi Pi's dream so many times, and each time it was almost always the same iron cage dream.

"Haochen, what are you doing in Pipi's dream? There's nothing there. Pipi only dreams of iron cages."

Hao Chen was taken aback at first, then realized that Walnut was referring to Tianlu, who was affected by the Pixiu Heart Lock.

But now that Tianlu has regained his memory, he probably won't have such dreams anymore. However, Haochen can't explain it to Hetao.

"It's alright, Walnut. Just take me to Pipi's dream. There are some things I want to know, but it's not convenient to ask Pipi directly."

"So I thought of asking you for help, hoping you could take me into Pipi's dream and see if I could find out what I want to know."

"I see, then Walnut understands." Seeing how persistent Haochen was, Walnut couldn't refuse and agreed to Haochen's request.

But just before that, Walnut suddenly remembered something and said, "Haochen, I still can't control what Pipi dreams."

"It's alright, Walnut, just do your best." Hao Chen said, not forgetting to remind Walnut to tell Fuzi first, so that Fuzi wouldn't worry.

After responding, Walnut went out to explain the situation to Fuzi and returned quickly.

"I'm ready," Walnut said, then lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Hao Chen also closed his eyes and fell asleep.

As Haochen fell asleep, he soon felt a dizzying sensation, and then found himself in a somewhat dreamlike place.

"Is this the dream world? It's really amazing." Stepping on the clouds on the ground, it actually felt real, not like a dream at all.

At this moment, Walnut appeared beside Hao Chen and pointed to a blue dream passage not far away: "Hao Chen, that's Pi Pi's dream."

As Walnut was about to enter Tianlu's dream, Dao Haochen reacted quickly, grabbing Walnut's tail and pulling him back.

"Haochen, why are you pulling me? Aren't we going to Pipi's Dream?" Walnut looked at Haochen in confusion, seemingly unhappy that Haochen had suddenly pulled his tail.

However, the next moment, Hao Chen said to Walnut, "Walnut, I want to go into Pipi's dream by myself. Can you wait for me outside? After all, sometimes knowing too much is not good."

"Hiss!" Upon hearing Hao Chen's words, Walnut's fur stood on end involuntarily, and a sense of danger arose spontaneously.

In an instant, Walnut realized the secret of the Qilin, and also knew that mythical beasts like Pipi, who lived for a long time, had many secrets they didn't want others to know.

Some secrets exude a dangerous aura, and even dreams can be tainted by this danger.

It seems that what Haochen wanted to understand was the kind of dream that exudes a dangerous aura, which is why Walnut chose Haochen's image.

"Haochen, I'll wait for you outside."

"Ah."

After responding, Hao Chen decisively stepped into Tian Lu's dream.

After another dizzying experience, when Hao Chen came to his senses, he found himself on a mountain of gold.

Looking at the gold at his feet, Hao Chen showed an expression of "I knew it," not at all surprised, because this was very Tianlu.

"Forget it, let's try to see if we can see the part of the memory related to the Four-Faced Beast through dreams."

"Too illusory body!"

Hao Chen's body began to blur, as if he were merging into Tian Lu's dream.

The next moment, the entire golden mountain began to collapse, and the light in the world disappeared, leaving only a pitch-black space.

As a light appeared in the space, Hao Chen's figure reappeared and flew towards that light.

With a blinding flash of light, the surrounding darkness faded away, and Hao Chen found himself seemingly in the sky.

"That's a four-legged creature?!"

At that moment, Hao Chen saw a white figure flash past him.

Without thinking, Hao Chen followed and found that it was indeed a four-legged beast, but at this moment the four-legged beast was alone, and Bixie and Tianlu were not with him.

No, it can't be said that he wasn't following him. Hao Chen noticed that not far behind Si Bu Xiang, Tian Lu was trailing behind him, seemingly stalking Si Bu Xiang.

"Where is the Four-Unlikes going? Why are they avoiding the Pixie and the others?" Hao Chen had a feeling that this was related to the death of the Four-Unlikes.

But he could only watch and couldn't change anything, which made Hao Chen inexplicably irritable: "What is the Four-Faced Beast doing? It's so weak, why doesn't it stay with Bixie and the others?"

Following behind the Four-Faced Beast, Hao Chen soon saw it enter a valley shrouded in thick fog.
