There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 240 Bach Returns Home

After agreeing on a time to go home with Tianlu, the Four-Faced Beast got up early and started cleaning with Rabbit and Meimei.

"What a strange creature! I mean, it's just Pipi coming home, do you really need to go to such lengths to clean up after him?"

Rabbit felt it was unnecessary to do the "four unlikes" thing. They were already so familiar with Pipi, and Pipi probably wouldn't care.

The four-legged creature seemed a little nervous as it looked around. Seeing that the bluebird hadn't appeared, it breathed a sigh of relief: "Rabbit Master, keep your voice down. It's not just Pipi who's coming back today; his brother will also be staying here temporarily."

"Pipi's brother?" Rabbit was a little confused: "A four-legged creature? I've never heard of Pipi having a brother. By the way, what's his brother's name? What does he look like? What's his personality like? What does he like to eat?"

"Rabbit Lord, are you asking so many questions to check my household registration?" After thinking for a moment, the Four-Faced Beast said, "Pipi's brother is named Bixie. He is a red Pixiu with a cold appearance and a somewhat irritable and easily angered personality, but he cares a lot about Pipi."

"Oh, isn't this just a brother complex?!" Rabbit Lord had already labeled Bixie as a brother complex before even meeting him.

Just then, a figure flashed through Rabbit Lord's mind: a red Pixiu. He seemed to have seen it somewhere before. Could it be that Pixiu was the evil spirit?

The four-legged creature nodded in agreement with Rabbit Lord's opinion, while Meimei suddenly spoke up, "Then, Boss Si, if Pipi's brother finds out that you bullied Pipi, will he be angry?"

"Huh?!" The Qilin wiped the cold sweat from its forehead guiltily: "It probably won't know, right? If you don't tell, and I don't tell, the Qilin probably, maybe, perhaps won't know."

Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Ding Dong!Ding Dong!

The sudden sound startled the Qilin, who wondered if it was just a coincidence. It had just been talking about warding off evil spirits when the Qilin arrived.

Rabbit God then realized, "A four-legged creature, is it Pipi and his brother? I'll go open the door!"

"Wait, let me catch my breath." The four-legged creature grabbed the rabbit god who was about to open the door, worried that he would see the angry evil spirit as soon as he opened the door.

Fortunately, at this moment, the people outside, seeing that the four-legged creature was not opening the door, assumed that they hadn't heard the doorbell and shouted loudly:

"Is the fourth boss home? A dragon wants to see you, so I brought him over."

"I'm coming."

Hearing the noise outside, the Qilin breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, it wasn't Bixie or the others, so it quickly went to open the door.

When the door opened, the Four-Faced Beast saw that it was Pan Hu who had come. He was a little confused. Why did Pan Hu suddenly come to see him? Did he want him to help introduce a potential partner again?

"Wait, didn't Panhu just say that a dragon is looking for me?"

Thinking of what Pan Hu had just said, the Qilin couldn't help but turn its gaze to the back of Pan Hu, where it saw a black dragon following behind him.

Following the gaze of the four-legged creature, the black dragon stretched its neck, poked its head out, and greeted the creature politely: "Hello, are you Boss Si? A friend asked me to bring you some peaches."

"Peaches?" The Qilin looked at the bag of peaches that Bach was carrying in his claws with a puzzled expression, wondering who would give him peaches.

Seeing the puzzled look on the four-legged creature's face, Panhu explained, "Fourth Boss, I heard this dragon say that he brought it to you from somewhere in the sky."

“It’s the Heavenly Court.” Bach corrected Panhu’s words, and then said, “My name is Bach, the ‘He’ in ‘bright and illustrious.’ I used to work in the Heavenly Court. These peaches were given to you by a celestial tree called the Sky-Supporting Peach.”

"Oh, oh, oh Bach! I remember now, you're the little dragon who used to live with Baling-jun in my backyard pond!"

Upon hearing Bach's name, the four-legged creature instantly realized why Bach looked familiar, as if it had seen him somewhere before.

The four-legged creature was a little puzzled. Why did the "sky-piercing peach" that Bach mentioned sound so much like the sky-piercing tree in his backyard?

The Qilin didn't dwell on it. Looking at Bach's majestic appearance after transforming into a dragon, he said, "Speaking of which, Bach, you've really changed a lot."

Then, the four-legged creature had Meimei call Balingjun and Yongye over, fortunately they were also Bach's master and junior sister.

Upon receiving news of Bach's return, Balingjun immediately crawled over. Looking at his drastically changed disciple, Balingjun was filled with pride.

In particular, Bach actually came back to see him. Although it had been a while, at least he still remembered his teacher.

"I never thought that what was once a small dragon would transform into a dragon in the blink of an eye. Not bad, you've really made something of yourself."

"By the way, Bach, what do you do in Heaven? How come you have time to come down to Earth?"

"Are you back for a vacation to visit family? Is the work in Heaven easy? Is the salary very high?"

The four-legged creature, Rabbit Lord, and Meimei's enthusiastic inquiries made Bach feel uncomfortable for a while. He thought to himself, "I just came to deliver a peach, why are they acting like they know me so well?"

"...Thank you for your concern."

Bach first expressed his gratitude, then said, "However, I'm sorry, my memories from before have become very blurry after I transformed into a dragon, so who are you all, and are you familiar with me?"

Upon hearing this, the once bustling Deer Man Shop suddenly fell silent. The Four-Unlikes, Rabbit Lord, and Meimei looked at Bach with astonishment, and then at Baling Jun.

Yongye then realized why Bach had flown away after transforming into a dragon; he had forgotten about them.

A surge of anger welled up in Yongye's heart, and he glared at Bach: "You ungrateful wretch! Bach-kun has been so good to you, how dare you forget..."

To everyone's surprise, Baling Jun, who should have been more angry, remained calm, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Balingjun stretched out his tail to stop Yongye from biting Bach: "Alright, Yongye."

Balingjun then looked at Bach with a complicated expression. He should have guessed this outcome long ago, after all, he was the one who shielded Bach from the last lightning bolt. He just subconsciously didn't want to accept this result.

However, seeing that Bach was safe and sound, Balingjun breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed. Finally, he sighed with mixed feelings: "No matter what, it's good that he's back."

Then Balingjun said to Yongye, who was standing next to him, "Yongye, I'm going out for some fresh air. It's too stuffy here."

"Too stuffy? No, Ba-jun." Seeing that Ba-jun had climbed out, Yong-ye hurriedly followed him out: "Wait for me, Ba-jun, I'll go out with you to clear your head."

The dejected look in Balingjun's eyes made Bach subconsciously touch his chest. For some reason, he felt a pang of heartache for a moment.

However, Bach tried to recall his memories carefully, but still couldn't remember anything. This left Bach at a loss for words, so he could only lower his head as if he had done something wrong and follow Balingjun out.

The sudden absence of three beasts made the already somewhat awkward scene even quieter.

As a god to ease the awkwardness, the Qilin quickly tried to find a topic to distract the other person.

"Hey, hey! It's been so long since we last met, we're all a little rusty now, but we'll get used to each other soon," the four-legged creature called out towards the door.

"Let's divide the peaches first. Let me see who they're for." Taking the leaves Bach brought, Qilin looked at them and said, "One is for Cat Tears. Since you're here, Panhu, I'll ask you to take it to him!"

As he spoke, the four-legged creature picked up a peach and handed it directly to Pan Hu.

Pan Hu, who was originally watching the show, didn't expect the fire to suddenly spread to him. Looking at the peach offered by the strange creature, he didn't know whether to accept it or not.

"Uh, I'm not very convenient..."

Seeing Panhu's hesitation, the four-legged creature immediately made the decision for him, placing the peach at Panhu's feet: "You two are so familiar with each other, what's inconvenient about it? Go ahead, go ahead."

Panhu blushed as he saw the teasing looks in Rabbit Lord's and Meimei's eyes, and quickly grabbed the peach from Cat Tears and fled.

The four-legged creature looked at Panhu's departing figure with some surprise: "They're leaving already? I was thinking of staying to eat peaches together."

"Never mind, as for Zhuangzhuang's, we'll give it to him when he arrives."

As the four-legged creature spoke, it took the peach and handed it to Meimei: "Meimei, this is for you, take it quickly."

"Oh, oh! Thank you, boss!" Meimei took the peach with delight; she hadn't expected there would be one for her.

"Then let's eat peaches together! Rabbit Lord, cut my peaches for everyone to try!" The Four-Faced Beast took its peaches and handed them to Rabbit Lord.

Rabbit Lord knew the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he pulled the Four-Faced Beast together and headed to the kitchen: "Alright, Four-Faced Beast, let's go cut the peach together."

Meimei thought that with so many people sharing, one peach from the four bosses wouldn't be enough, so she offered her own peach: "Um, Rabbit Lord, could you please cut my peach for us all to eat together?"

Outside, Yongye was already annoyed that Bach had forgotten about them, but seeing that Bach had actually followed them, his anger was reignited: "Get out of here after you've delivered the peaches! You ingrate!"

Balingjun looked at Bach with disappointment and sighed. Although he knew that Bach had not forgotten them on purpose, he could not remain indifferent after spending so much time together.

"Alright, Yongye, stop yelling at him. Let's go inside."

"Ptooey!" Yongye spat venom at Bach with disdain before leaving with Balingjun.

Feeling extremely wronged after being ignored once again, Bach thought, "Why do they all seem to dislike me? Did I do something wrong...? But I really don't remember..."

Subconsciously, Bach flew to the rooftop and looked at Balingjun, who was staring blankly at the pond not far away.

Bach thought to himself, "Judging from what they're saying, that little snake is my master? But he doesn't seem to care about me much; he's so cold to me."

"And it looks so thin and small, a very thin strip..."

The more Bach looked at Balingjun, the more he felt that he was small and quite cute, and he had a feeling that he wanted to stay by his side.

After thinking for a moment, Bach turned and flew towards the kitchen below, then slipped through the kitchen window: "Um, could you please cut my peaches too?"

"Ouch! Big Head!"

Bach suddenly stuck his head in, startling the four-legged creature so much that its claws trembled, almost cutting itself. Enraged, the four-legged creature cursed at Bach: "Next time, please use the door and don't suddenly stick your head in. If it happens again, I'll sell you."

Bach realized his behavior was impolite and quickly lowered his head in front of the Qilin, like a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing this, the Qilin couldn't say anything more, so it waved its paws and told Bach to go out and wait for them.

A moment later, the Four-Faced Beast and the Rabbit God brought over a bowl of sliced ​​peaches: "Alright, the peaches are sliced, come and eat quickly."

Then the Qilin looked at Bach, who was sitting down to eat a peach, and said irritably, "Bach, go and call your master and Yongye."

Just then, a blue and white figure flashed through the doorway. Tianlu rushed to the table, stood on its hind legs, pawed at the table with its front paws, and sniffed the peaches on the table.

Tianlu wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and looked at the Four-Unlikes with dissatisfaction: "Well, Four-Unlikes, you actually ate delicious food behind my back. I want to eat too."

For a moment, the four-legged creature was stunned, but then it saw that Tianlu did not seem as distant from it as it had imagined, just like before.

The four-legged creature couldn't help but smile slightly, and reached out a paw to pat Tianlu's head: "We've been waiting for you, Pipi, come and eat."

As he spoke of the four unlike creatures, he looked at the Bixie standing at the door, somewhat reserved and hesitant to come in. He found it amusing, not expecting the Bixie to have such a cute side.

Then the four-legged creature waved to the evil spirit: "Brother Pipi, come and eat peaches together!"
