There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 131 The Present World - Hong Wen's Hao Chen

Just as Hao Chen was about to ask Xiao Bai why she fell into the water, a series of noisy footsteps suddenly came from upstream, as if someone was running towards him.

Just as Hao Chen was about to see who it was, he saw Xiao Bai looking terrified, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"It's okay, I'm here." Hao Chen hugged Xiao Bai and gently patted his back to comfort him.

With Hao Chen's comforting words, Xiao Bai stopped trembling. But her eyes still held fear: "Benefactor, you should leave quickly, those two-legged beasts are here to capture me."

"Two-legged creature? You mean you're being hunted by humans right now?"

Hao Chen didn't listen to Xiao Bai and choose to leave. Instead, he stood in front of Xiao Bai, who was the dog he valued.

After all, if he wanted the little white dog to willingly follow him, he couldn't leave. Instead, he had to step in again and rescue the little white dog from the humans.

Under Hao Chen's eager gaze, four men and one woman appeared before him. The young man in the lead stood on a flying sword, looking down at Hao Chen and the little white dog.

"Brother Wuyue, look! It's a sacrificial offering!" A girl in purple pointed at the little white dog behind Haochen and excitedly said to the young man riding a flying sword in the sky.

Unlike his companions, the young man known as Wuyue was not excited. Instead, he looked at Haochen with a solemn expression, as if he had seen Haochen somewhere before.

After secretly assessing the situation, Wu Yue subconsciously shook his head. Although he couldn't see through Hao Chen's background, the little white dog was a sacrificial offering that his tribe had been searching for for a long time, and he didn't want to give up so easily.

Wuyue leaped down from the flying sword and landed in front of his four companions. The flying sword then spun around and landed in the scabbard on his back.

"Ji Wuyue of the Luoshui Ji Clan greets this divine beast lord. I wonder if you would do us the honor of handing over the little white dog on your back?"

Hao Chen's expression turned somewhat strange after hearing Ji Wuyue's words. If he remembered correctly, this Ji clan was the same clan that he had saved.

Furthermore, the Ji clan also worshipped him, along with the Bixie Tianlu and the Sibuxiang as totems.

Hao Chen then asked, "Are you from the Ji clan? Then what is your relationship with Ji Dian?"

When Ji Wuyue heard Hao Chen's question, although she was a little surprised that the other party knew someone from her Ji clan, she still replied, "The person this gentleman is asking about is my father, who is also the current patriarch of my Ji clan."

Hearing Ji Wuyue's words, Hao Chen nodded. He never expected that the boy who served them back then would grow up to be the head of a clan.

Hao Chen then said, "Alright, I understand. You can all leave now. I'll protect this little white dog."

As soon as Hao Chen finished speaking, the other side erupted in chaos, pointing at Hao Chen and denouncing him.

"What? You just say you've guaranteed it? Who do you think you are, acting like you've eaten the fruit of your own reputation?"

"That's right, hand over that little white dog, or we'll capture you too and offer you as a sacrifice to the spirit master."

"That's right, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? I advise you to be sensible, there are five of us here."

"That's right, little guy. I'll forgive you this time because you're so cute. Hand over the little white dog now, or I'll have Brother Wuyue take you back as a pet."

Ji Wuyue looked at Hao Chen with an equally cold expression: "My lord, I respect you as a divine beast and do not wish to harm you. Do not take my pity as a license for your arrogance."

Hao Chen calmly extended his right claw, pointed at the sky, and said, "Why bother! It seems that as an old acquaintance, I'll give you a small punishment as a warning."

"Drive away thunder and lightning!"

Lightning surged from Hao Chen's claws, and a black thundercloud instantly drifted in from the sky, followed by a bolt of lightning that struck Ji Wuyue and her group of five in an instant.

"Ah~"

In the blink of an eye, Ji Wuyue and her group of five received a free electrotherapy treatment. Even though Ji Wuyue released her flying sword immediately, it was instantly struck by lightning and sent flying.

The other four didn't even have time to use their magical artifacts before being struck by lightning.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Wuyue and the other four were covered in black smoke, emitting a burnt smell, and collapsed to the ground.

The little white dog behind Hao Chen looked at him with admiration: "Woof, you're so amazing, benefactor! But are they alright?"

"They're about to arrest you, why are you still concerned about them?" Hao Chen was speechless at Xiao Bai's words.

Seeing Xiaobai's worried expression, Haochen patted Xiaobai's head and said, "Don't worry, they just fainted, there's nothing serious."

Under Hao Chen's caresses, Xiao Bai squinted its eyes, stuck out its tongue, and looked completely blissful.

"So soft, just like the same one, so nice to rub!" Hao Chen was secretly delighted when he saw this. This little white dog was a real treasure. He rubbed it even more enthusiastically and even scratched its belly.

Meanwhile, in the underworld of the modern timeline, Di Ting stared speechlessly at Hao Chen, whose body was radiating intense lightning. He watched as bolts of lightning fell into the Naihe River, shattering the surface and causing fish to float to the surface, belly up.

The story begins when Di Ting brought Hao Chen and Xiao Lou to fish by the Naihe Bridge.

Because of their connection to the Di Ting (a mythical creature), they brought the best fishing rods, the best bait, and the best spots.

Naturally, Di Ting and Xiao Lou were catching fish with ease.

Yes, you heard right. Only Di Ting and Xiao Lou caught fish. As for Hao Chen, he was so jealous that his eyes were almost red. He looked at Di Ting's fish basket, which was already full of fish, and gritted his teeth, secretly cursing that the fish basket should break.

"Damn it, Di Ting must be afraid of my fishing skills, so he gave me the worst fishing rod, the worst bait, and the worst spot."

Hao Chen thought darkly to himself, he would rather blame Di Ting for his poor performance than admit that he was incompetent.

Di Ting glanced at the time and realized it was quite late, so he packed up and, dragging the basket full of fish, said, "Hao Chen, it's getting late, let's go back."

"Wait a little longer, I feel like I'm about to catch a fish." Hao Chen suppressed his anger. Why was he the only one who failed to catch anything? He failed to catch anything in the mortal world, and he failed to catch anything in the underworld too.

Hearing Hao Chen say this, Di could only sit helplessly to the side and watch Hao Chen do useless work.

Today he finally witnessed just how powerful Hao Chen, whom the land called the "Air Force Guy," truly was.

Despite having the same equipment and being in the same position, Hao Chen just couldn't catch any fish, and Di Ting was getting anxious for him.

Little Skull looked at Hao Chen's empty fish basket, devoid even of fish the size of a fingernail, and wondered, "Glug glug glug (No matter how hard he tries, he comes up empty-handed. Why doesn't he give up? How strange.)"

"Damn it, ah~" Xiao Lou's words were the last straw that broke Hao Chen's back.

Hao Chen instantly turned red with anger, kicked the fishing rod in half, and his hands crackled with lightning. He immediately chose to fish using new energy sources, and bolts of lightning shot out from the void and fell into the Naihe River.

"What is this??" Di Ting looked at Hao Chen, who was holding lightning, and a hazy figure suddenly appeared in his mind, but something seemed to be preventing Di Ting from seeing the figure clearly.

Before long, with the help of new energy, Haochen finally filled the fish basket and was happily dragging it to Diting to show it off.

"See? I told you my skills are top-notch. Look, there's no room left to store them all."

Watching Haochen shamelessly pat his fish basket, Di Ting's lips twitched, and he covered the little skull that was about to speak.

"Yeah, that's really impressive. Can we go back now?"

"Of course, no problem. By the way, I want to take pictures and post them on WeChat Moments. Today was a great day!"

Hao Chen took out his phone, took a few satisfactory photos of the fish he had caught with his electric shock device, and posted them on his WeChat Moments with the caption: "Today, Di Ting came to visit and gave us a brief demonstration of our skills, which was already the limit for everyone. Di Ting said it was good."

"I've posted it on my WeChat Moments. Diting, hurry up and give me a like. I want all the Qilin to be so envious."
