There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 273 Have you seen my sheep?

That night, Zhanhu slept soundly with oleander in his arms, even having a beautiful pink dream.

Hao Chen also stayed up too late with Tian Lu and the others, so he and Tian Lu and Mei Mei simply fell asleep in Rabbit Lord's living room.

The next morning, Oleander rubbed her sleepy eyes and got out of bed: "Ha~ What happened yesterday? How did I get back?"

Oleander vaguely remembered that he went out with Haochen yesterday, and then he seemed to faint. But now he was sleeping in a strange bed with a big white tiger.

Wait... where did this big white tiger come from?!

Oleander belatedly realized that Zhanhu was still sleeping beside him, his head was a mess. Had he been slept with again?

Oleander was speechless, thinking to herself that the beasts in this deer-man shop were so strange, liking to sleep while hugging other beasts.

Just as Oleander was thinking about how to escape, Walnut opened the door and walked in. When he saw that Oleander was awake, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He's just young; he doesn't know nothing.

God knows how worried I was yesterday when I saw my uncle lying unconscious on Haochen's back, afraid that he had gotten hurt.

Even when Haochen told him that his uncle went to find his mother in a dream, Walnut didn't believe it, because he was also a Mengji and knew what it was like for Mengji to visit dreams.

Fortunately, her uncle woke up safely. Walnut thought to herself, but pretended to know nothing and said, "Uncle, you've been sleeping for a long time. I brought you some steamed buns."

As Walnut spoke, he magically produced two large steamed buns from his person and placed them in front of Oleander.

Oleander looked at the buns in front of her and wanted to say that she wasn't hungry yet, but before she could say anything, her stomach protested.

As her stomach rumbled, Oleander realized that she had only eaten some dumplings yesterday, and her stomach was now completely empty. She could only glance at Walnut sheepishly before obediently lowering her head to eat her steamed bun.

After eating one bun, Oleander felt less uncomfortable in her stomach, so she pushed the other bun to Walnut: "Walnut, you should eat quickly too. Only when you are full will you grow big."

But Walnut shook its head and said, "Uncle, Walnut has already eaten. This is something Walnut specially brought for you and Godfather."

"Oh, so how many steamed buns did Walnut eat this morning?"

Oleander thought that given the size of the buns walnuts brought, he would only be able to eat three and be full, and probably only one walnut.

But Walnut shook its head and said, "Uncle, Walnut ate a big chicken leg this morning, not a steamed bun."

"Chicken, chicken leg?!" Oleander looked incredulously at the bun next to his paw, then at Walnut, who was winking at him.

Oleander was very sad. She had treated Walnut quite well, always thinking of him when there was something delicious to eat, but Walnut ate chicken legs himself while giving his uncle steamed buns.

Seeing his uncle's expression change from surprise to disbelief, Walnut couldn't help but chuckle: "Uncle, Walnut was just kidding. Of course, Walnut brought a chicken leg for you."

As she spoke, two large, fragrant chicken legs appeared in front of Oleander, making her mouth water.

"Walnut, you're getting bolder and bolder. You even dare to tease your uncle. Today, I'll show you what happens when you make your uncle angry."

Oleander pulled its tail out of Zhanhu's arms, then curled up with Walnut and came to the bed: "Watch your uncle teach you a lesson today."

"Haha~ It's so itchy~"

"Uncle, stop licking it. Walnut knows it was wrong."

"Keep going, tell me quickly, will you dare to tease your uncle again?" Oleander held down Walnut's front paw and kept licking Walnut's belly, making Walnut laugh non-stop.

Just as Oleander and Walnut were having fun, Zhanhu's voice suddenly rang out from behind: "You look very energetic."

"Ah!" Oleander was startled and looked at Zhan Hu with a resentful expression.

However, the next moment, Oleander was stunned when she actually saw what the tiger looked like: "What a tall and majestic tiger!"

With its thick claws and sturdy body, Zhanhu immediately struck me as incredibly reliable.

Zhan Hu noticed that Oleander's gaze towards him was almost drooling, and couldn't help but give a wicked smile. He knew he was still very charming, and now he'd see how Hao Chen would compete with him.

Walnut had no idea that his uncle and godfather had actually fallen for each other, and foolishly stepped forward to act as a mediator:

"Uncle, this is Walnut's godfather, Zhanhu. He's the one who protects Walnut at the Deer Man Shop."

"Godfather, this is my uncle's oleander."

With Walnut as their witness, Oleander and Tiger slowly approached each other. Then, Oleander took the initiative to extend its paw and said, "Thank you for taking care of Walnut. Walnut must have caused you a lot of trouble."

Zhanhu also stretched out his paw and grasped the oleander. Feeling the warmth from his paw, Zhanhu's mind wandered for a moment. He chuckled and said, "No way. Walnuts are so lovable, how could they be a problem? Besides, I'm Walnut's godfather."

Just as Zhanhu was thinking about what to talk to Oleander about next, he suddenly felt his tail being pulled by something.

Looking back, I found that the oleander had somehow gotten behind me and was biting my tail.

Just as Zhanhu was puzzled, Walnut acted as the interpreter and explained, "Godfather, it seems my uncle really likes you. He even bit your tail."

Upon hearing Walnut's words, Zhan Hu instantly recalled that Walnut had once bitten his tail, and at that time Walnut explained that wagging its tail was Mengji's unique way of greeting.

Thinking of this, Zhanhu turned his head and gently nibbled on the oleander's tail.

Seeing Oleander's expression visibly brighten, Zhanhu also felt happy.

Just then, Walnut saw that Zhanhu and Oleander were playing together and ignoring him, so she pouted and said, "Uncle, you've forgotten about Walnut now that you have a godfather!"

Zhanhu and Oleander sensed that Walnut was unhappy, so they exchanged a glance and then gently nibbled on Walnut's two tails, one on each side.

"Walnut, are you happy now?" Zhanhu and Oleander said in unison.

"Hmm." Walnut nodded heavily, then started biting into the tails of the oleander and the tiger.

After playing for a while, Zhanhu and Oleander ate the chicken leg that Walnut had brought.

Seeing the oleander's lingering expression, Zhanhu suddenly remembered that a few days ago he had accidentally wandered into a valley in the mountains and encountered a group of "wild" goats.

"Oleander, do you eat lamb? I know a place with lots of lamb, and it's easy to catch them."

"Really? I want to eat it."

In a short while, Oleander became very dependent on Zhanhu, a change in emotion that Oleander herself couldn't explain.

When Zhanhu heard that Oleander wanted to eat sheep, he took Oleander and Walnut and headed to that valley.

Soon, Zhanhu and his group arrived in the valley. Seeing the flocks of sheep grazing in the valley, Oleander couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Oleander, wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."

"Okay, be careful," Oleander cautioned.

Soon, Zhanhu made his move, instantly killing a group of sheep that only knew how to graze. After collecting the extra sheep into the cloak on his back, Zhanhu and Oleander, along with another beast, left with a sheep in their mouths.

Shortly after Zhan Hu left, Hao Chen appeared in the valley.

"Luckily, I had the foresight to raise sheep here. I'll pick the fattest one and send it to Oleander later; he'll definitely like it."

Hao Chen was still focused on giving gifts, completely unaware that Zhan Hu had almost stolen the oleander; the two were simply too far apart in terms of skill level.

The next moment, an angry voice echoed through the valley: "Where are the sheep? Where are my sheep? Who stole my sheep?"

Looking at the sheep scattered in the valley, Hao Chen was furious. He was always the one taking other people's things. No one had ever dared to take his things, except for Tian Lu and the others, of course.

Hao Chen vowed to find the sheep thief. After leaving the valley, he followed the path back and asked every animal he encountered, "Have you seen my sheep?"

If anyone answered no, Hao Chen would beat them up to vent his anger; if they answered yes, they would be beaten even harder and demanded to hand over the stolen sheep.

They had never seen Hao Chen's sheep before; they were just saying that to avoid being beaten, but they ended up getting beaten even worse.

Meanwhile, the real sheep thieves, Zhan Hu and Oleander, were enjoying a whole roasted lamb.

From then on, Caiyun Mountain was left with the legend of "Have you seen my sheep?"
