There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 128 The Present World - The Cat Bone on the Bridge of Helplessness

In the Di Mansion, in Di Ting's bedroom, Di Ting had just gotten up and hadn't even had time to change his clothes when he suddenly heard a ghost knocking on the door.

"Lord Diting, a beast from the mortal realm has arrived outside the manor, demanding to see you by name."

"Huh, guests already here so early? And from the mortal realm? Who could they be?"

Di Ting hurriedly changed his clothes and followed A Piao toward the door, wondering who it could be, and even fantasizing that it might be Mr. Bai Ze coming to see him.

But soon he realized it couldn't be the Master, since everyone in his manor knew him. If it wasn't the Master, then who would be looking for him?

Although Di Ting felt that his idea was very unrealistic, he still held onto a sliver of hope. What if it really was Master Di Ting? That would be wonderful.

However, Di Ting soon found out who it was. When he opened the door, he saw Hao Chen. Di Ting looked behind Hao Chen, but didn't see anyone else. He was instantly disappointed: "Hao Chen, it's you?"

"Did you think Bai Ze would come to find you, but you were disappointed to see me instead?"

Although he knew why Di Ting was disappointed, Hao Chen still felt very unhappy. He pushed Di Ting aside and walked into his house as if he were back in his own home.

"Go get me a glass of iced cola, I'm so thirsty after traveling all this way," Hao Chen said to the ghost beside Di Ting.

Upon hearing this, the ghost looked up at Di Ting and saw Di Ting nod at him before turning around to get the cola.

Di Ting looked at the overly familiar Hao Chen with a hint of helplessness: "By the way, what brings you here today?"

"Oh, I was just bored, so I came out to hang out here for a bit." Hao Chen glanced to the side with a slightly uneasy look in his eyes.

This small detail naturally did not escape the eyes of Di Ting. In an instant, Di Ting understood that Hao Chen was definitely hiding something from him. However, this was a gross underestimation of Di Ting.

To Hao Chen's astonishment, Di Ting lay down on the ground, its ear pressed against the earth, and said, "Earth, tell me why Hao Chen came to my house."

"No, Di Ting, do you really need to ask Da Di about everything? It's such a hassle for her." Hao Chen twitched the corner of his mouth.

Soon, Di Ting learned the whole story from the earth and also learned about what happened between Hao Chen, Xie Zhi, and Qiong Qi.

In order to avoid attending classes, Hao Chen not only arranged for Qiongqi to harass Xie Zhi, but also ordered a red thread from the Old Man of the Moon to tie Qiongqi and Xie Zhi together, forcibly making them a couple.

After learning all this, Di Ting was speechless: "Hao Chen, you've been tormenting the Xie Zhi like this, no wonder you came here to take refuge."

"Hey, Diting, don't pry into other people's private affairs!" Haochen loudly accused Diting of invading his privacy.

Hao Chen was even somewhat dissatisfied with Da Di, who had provided information to Di Ting, muttering under his breath, "And Da Di, why do you tell Di Ting everything? Do you think the heavens know about your constant chatter?"

"I know! I know! I know!"

The voice of the earth suddenly rang in Hao Chen's mind, almost startling him. But soon Hao Chen felt a little embarrassed, as if he had been caught doing something wrong.

In order not to anger the Earth and spread its secrets, Hao Chen had no choice but to silently pray in his heart, "Earth, I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry with me. I shouldn't have said bad things about you."

But then the earth's voice ceased, and Hao Chen didn't know whether the earth had accepted his apology.

Fortunately, Di Ting told him that the earth had forgiven him, and Hao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. This way, the earth would probably stop telling Di Ting his secrets.

After learning why Hao Chen had come to his house, Di Ting was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that so many interesting things would happen at the Deer Man Shop in just a short time since he last visited the Fourth Boss. It seemed that he would have to visit more often in the future.

"Alright, Haochen, come in and sit down. You're not going to stay outside forever, are you?"

After hearing Di Ting's words, Hao Chen followed him and walked towards the living room of the Di Mansion.

However, at this moment, Hao Chen suddenly said to Di Ting, "Di Ting, do you usually maintain your human form at home?"

"Hmm?! Of course, it's because human form is more convenient for work, and you get used to it after a while." Di Ting answered without hesitation after hearing Hao Chen's question.

Undeterred, Hao Chen continued to ask, "I feel that when you're not working, you can transform back into your beast form."

Even in order to get Di Ting to turn back into its beast form, Hao Chen said, "By the way, Di Ting, do you know? I heard that Bai Ze also has a little dog named White Beast King. Maybe he'll like you if you turn back into your beast form?"

Hao Chen's words startled Di Ting. Di Ting looked at Hao Chen suspiciously, wondering if the master would really like this kind of thing.

The next moment, Hao Chen saw another scene that gave him a headache. In order to verify the truth, Di Ting directly asked the earth.

"Earth, is what Haochen said true?"

"Fake! Fake! Fake!"

"Why did Hao Chen say that about the earth?"

"It's so easy to masturbate you! It ...!"

"..." Di Ting was a little depressed after learning the truth. She thought she knew about her master's preferences, but it turned out that Hao Chen only said that to make things easier for himself.

But on second thought, Di Ting felt that this was more in line with Hao Chen's personality. However, given the current situation, he needed to protect himself well before Hao Chen left.

Hao Chen looked at Di Ting, who was lying on the ground talking to the earth, and could only think, "Holy crap, how can there be a beast with such a setting?"

He immediately questioned the Earth, and the Earth doted on Di Ting so much, telling him everything. It seems that he won't be able to get Di Ting during this trip to the Di Mansion.

"Well, since we're already here, let's play for a few days first. Next stop, let's go to the capital and see if we can find any furry creatures. I wonder if Bai Zejie would mind having a beast give him a massage?!" Hao Chen sighed inwardly.

And so, Hao Chen spent the morning at Di Ting's house, eating and drinking his food, and even followed Di Ting to his workplace. Unfortunately, he never found an opportunity to do so, at most he could take the chance to touch Di Ting's tail.

As for lunch, he naturally ate at Di Ting's house. Fortunately, Di Ting considered that Hao Chen was a beast from the mortal realm and prepared some normal food for him, at least there was no non-mortal food like the hellish spicy flavor.

In order to get rid of Haochen as soon as possible, Diting even took half a day off in the afternoon just to go out and have some fun with Haochen.

"Alright, Haochen, where do you plan to go this afternoon?" Diting handed Haochen a local travel guide and asked.

After receiving the travel guide, Hao Chen said with a touched expression, "Di Ting, you're so good to me. Do you want a hug?"

"..." Di Ting felt that he was speechless more today than all the previous ones combined.

Hao Chen didn't care about Di Ting's reaction. He turned to look at the travel guide and suddenly pointed to one of the projects and said, "Hey, Di Ting, you guys have actually developed a new travel project?"

"Let me see." Di Ting looked at the project Hao Chen mentioned and said, "Oh, you mean this? Recently, for some reason, there has been a fishing craze in the underworld, so they launched this fishing project, which is fishing by the Naihe Bridge."

Upon hearing Di Ting's explanation, Hao Chen immediately became interested and decided to play the Hell version of fishing that afternoon.

By the way, Hao Chen wanted to see if he could meet the skeleton cat Xiao Lou. He had just asked Di Ting and knew that Di Ting had not met Xiao Lou yet.

Then Hao Chen realized that Di Ting had encountered Xiao Lou's cat bones by the Naihe Bridge and brought them home. In the end, Xiao Lou accidentally got wet with the magical water that Di Ting used to water the flowers, and regained life in another way, and was adopted by Di Ting.

"I wonder if I'll be able to meet Little Skull at the Bridge of Helplessness this time. I've almost run out of furs at home, I need to sell them quickly," Hao Chen thought to himself.

After hearing Hao Chen's decision, Di Ting nodded in agreement: "Alright, I'll go prepare the fishing rod."

Then Di Ting casually asked, "By the way, Hao Chen, do you know how to fish? I've seen that you're not in any of the fishing photos that Si Xiang Bu Xiang posts on his WeChat Moments."

After hearing Di Ting's words, Hao Chen was taken aback at first, and then said somewhat awkwardly, "Don't worry, the Four-Faced Beast is just jealous of me, that's why it won't go fishing with me. You'll be very surprised when the time comes."

"Is that really true?" Di Ting asked, lying on the ground in disbelief, "Earth, is what Hao Chen said true?"

Hao Chen was shocked and, disregarding manners, grabbed Di Ting's tail and pulled him back, saying, "There's no need to ask Da Di about such a small matter. She's very busy."

Before Hao Chen could pull Di Ting away, Da Di said to Di Ting, "Air Force boss! Air Force boss! Air Force boss!"

Hao Chen: "..."

Hao Chen was filled with impotent rage: Da Di, could you please not have said this? It makes me lose face.

However, Hao Chen still managed a forced smile: "Di Ting, don't listen to Da Di's nonsense. I'm not a staunch air force pilot. I only refrained from fishing to maintain the ecological balance of the pond in the backyard of the Qilin."

Di Ting suppressed a laugh and said, "Hao Chen, you don't need to say anything, I understand."

"You don't know anything. You're obviously not confident in my abilities."

Seeing Di Ting like this, Hao Chen secretly made up his mind that he would go fishing at Naihe Bridge this afternoon and make sure to catch a fish to get rid of the stereotype of being a "nobody who never catches anything".

Di Ting quickly prepared the things needed for fishing, but soon they had different opinions on how to travel.

Diting arranged a driver to take them there, while Haochen planned to fly there directly.

Finally, after much persuasion from Haochen, Diting agreed to Haochen's plan.

Soon, Di Ting returned to its original form and flew towards the Naihe Bridge on a cloud. On its back, it carried not only fishing tools but also Hao Chen.

Di Ting sighed, realizing that Hao Chen was unreliable. He also blamed himself for being careless. His excuse of wanting to enjoy the scenery along the way was just that—an excuse to seduce Hao Chen. It was a shame that he trusted Hao Chen so much.

They hadn't been flying for long when Haochen suddenly said he was tired. He then lay down on Diting's back and let Diting carry him.

During this time, Hao Chen pretended to accidentally touch Di Ting's ear, but seeing that Di Ting only twitched its ear and did not say anything, Hao Chen became even bolder.

Now they're even more blatantly touching the back of the Di Ting, not just the ears and fur, but even burying their heads in the fur and sucking on it.

Just as Hao Chen was enjoying the cool, claw-like sensation on Di Ting's body, Di Ting suddenly braked sharply and almost threw Hao Chen off.

“Diting, please don’t stop so suddenly next time. At least say something.”

Di Ting ignored Hao Chen's complaints. In any case, even if Hao Chen really fell, he would at most be a little embarrassed, but he would be fine.

Di Ting flew down with Hao Chen, frowned at the pile of bones on the ground, and said, "Who threw trash in the Naihe Bridge scenic area? Hmm, cat bones?!"

"Cat bones?!" Hao Chen poked his head out from Di Ting's back, looking at the pile of bones in front of Di Ting and thinking, "Is this the little skull?"

Suddenly, Di Ting stretched out its paws and collected the cat bones on the ground one by one.

Seeing this, Hao Chen patted Di Ting and said, "Di Ting, you really like cat bones?"

"Oh no, I completely forgot that Haochen was watching."

Although Di Ting was a little embarrassed by his little secret being exposed, he still nodded nonchalantly: "Yeah, I do like it a bit, and I want to take it back and bury it."

And so, the afternoon fishing trip was temporarily canceled because Diting encountered his favorite cat bone.

Hao Chen didn't care. Compared to fishing, he was more interested in the little skull. On the way back, he kept praying that the pile of bones was the little skull.
