Chapter 214 War Begins
In the real world, more than a month has passed since Haochen fell into a coma.
Bixie continues to use his own essence to baptize Haochen every day, hoping to wake him up soon.
But what he didn't know was that while he was using his own essence to baptize Hao Chen, Hao Chen's Yin and Yang essence was also inadvertently absorbed into his body.
However, once this source entered Bixie's body, it became dormant, and because Bixie was worried about Haochen's safety, he did not notice it until now.
Si Bu Xiang looked at Bi Xie, who was continuing to treat Hao Chen, and muttered with some dissatisfaction: "Damn it, it's all that guy's fault for hurting Little Coal Ball, otherwise Little Plum Blossom wouldn't have had to kiss Little Coal Ball."
Tianlu, who was standing nearby, heard the mutterings of the Four-Faced Beast but couldn't quite make it out, so he asked, "What are you muttering about, Four-Faced Beast?"
"N-nothing, I was just thinking about how to make Coal Ball better. It's all that bad guy named Chen Ying's fault." Si Bu Xiang said this with a somewhat flustered expression.
Fortunately, Tianlu didn't suspect anything. Instead, he became indignant and said, "That's right. Next time I see him, I'll definitely teach him a lesson."
Tianlu was fooled by Sibuxiangjian and breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the Bixie that had sacrificed itself for Haochen in the cave, Sibuxiang felt a pang of bitterness. He wished he were the one lying there right now.
In fact, Si Bu Xiang himself understood that his liking for Bi Xie had long surpassed the initial brotherhood and friendship, and was developing into a different kind of feeling.
"If I were also injured and unconscious, would Little Plum Blossom also..." As if thinking of something, the Four-Faced Beast's cheeks flushed red, even though the fur on its face couldn't hide it.
Just then, the Four-Faced Beast seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around to look back, only to see a white auspicious cloud flying in from the distant horizon.
Upon seeing the auspicious clouds, the Four-Faced Beast's face lit up with joy: "Little Blue Circle, look over there! It's my father and mother who's back!"
"It's true! Dad and Mom are back! Now we can have Golden Balls to eat again!"
Tianlu was also happy that the First Qilin and Jade Qilin had returned home, which meant he would have more Golden Balls to eat.
The four-legged creatures were quite helpless about this, as Tianlu had already shown off all the golden balls in Haochen's tail in just a few days.
Without the golden ball, they had to go out and find food on their own.
At first, with the help of the Holy Ape, they could eat meat every day, but later the Holy Ape had to go back, so they had to rely on Bixie and Tianlu to take turns going out to find food.
Even if the food around Qilin Mountain was plentiful, it couldn't withstand Tianlu's ravages. Soon, the nearby animals either died tragically in the belly of the Pixiu or had to move away.
Because they were worried about Haochen, the Sibyl dared not fly too far. They could only find some wild fruits to eat nearby or go to the river to see if there were any fish to catch.
Having endured days of hunger, Tianlu felt as if he had found solace when he saw his father and mother, Sibuxiang, and drool unconsciously dripped from the corners of his mouth.
Therefore, as soon as the First Qilin and the Jade Qilin landed, Tianlu couldn't wait to run up and hug the First Qilin's hoof, saying in a childish voice, "Hello, Father and Mother."
When Shi Qilin looked at his "adopted son," he immediately understood. With a swipe of his hoof, a pile of golden balls, red coral, black pearls, luminous pearls, and other treasures appeared on the ground.
Seeing the treasure on the ground, Tianlu was overjoyed. He immediately released the Qilin and pounced into the pile of golden balls to feast on them.
"It's delicious. This red one feels warm and comforting, and this black ball tastes cool and refreshing."
After sending Tianlu away, Shi Qilin and Yu Qilin finally had time to look at their beloved eldest son, Si Bu Xiang.
The two beasts rubbed against the four-legged creature, constantly stroking its face with their hooves.
Yu Qilin stroked the Four-Faced Beast with heartache: "Son, look how thin you've become from hunger. You must have suffered a lot outside. I told you not to go to the Heavenly Court. Haotian is no good."
As he spoke, he glared at Shi Qilin, seemingly blaming him for not stopping the Four-Unlikes from going to the Heavenly Court.
Feeling guilty, Shi Qilin dared not refute anything and could only ask, "Son, why did you call us back so urgently? Did you miss your father?"
When asked this by Shi Qilin, Yu Qilin also asked nervously, "Yes, son, is there something you need from us?"
The First Qilin and the Jade Qilin were visiting a friend in the Western Sea to congratulate him on the birth of his third son when they suddenly received a message from their son urging them to return quickly.
Worried that something had happened to their son again, Shi Qilin and the others rushed back without even eating.
"Father, Mother, I'm fine now. I'm a big Qilin now, so please stop rubbing against me."
As he spoke, the Four-Faced Beast broke free from the arms of the First Qilin and the Jade Qilin, and then pushed them into the Qilin Cave: "Instead of this, you should quickly look at Little Coal Ball, he's sick!"
"What happened? How could someone who was perfectly healthy suddenly get sick?"
Shi Qilin was somewhat puzzled. Based on his understanding of Haochen, he would rather believe that his own son was sick than that Haochen was sick.
But after hearing the Four-Faced Beasts finish recounting the recent events, the First Qilin's expression turned serious: "Son, are you saying that Haochen's body is not injured and his primordial spirit is fine, but he just can't wake up?"
Si Bu Xiang nodded: "Yes, Father, you should go and see if there's any way."
"I know, but son, don't push your father. Your father can walk by himself."
As they spoke, the First Qilin, the Jade Qilin, and the Four Unlikes entered the Qilin Cave one after the other.
Si Bu Xiang looked at the evil spirit that had just been treated for Hao Chen in the cave and happily went over to it: "Little Plum Blossom, my father is here. Let him take a look at Little Coal Ball. Maybe he can help."
Bixie looked at Shi Qilin and silently made way for him. Shi Qilin did not notice anything different about Bixie and walked straight to Haochen's side.
On the contrary, the perceptive Yu Qilin paid more attention to Bixie, and she discovered that there was an inexplicable source of energy about Bixie.
Fortunately, the Jade Qilin didn't pay much attention and followed Hao Chen to observe him together with the First Qilin.
Originally, Shi Qilin was only somewhat solemn, but after looking at Hao Chen, he immediately felt troubled, because he couldn't see any problem either.
"Wife, have you noticed anything wrong?" Shi Qilin whispered.
Yu Qilin shook his head: "Just like my son said, Haochen looks perfectly healthy. Do you think it could be a curse or a seal?"
"I don't think so. I didn't sense any negative energy from Hao Chen, nor did I see any signs of a seal."
Just as Shi Qilin and Yu Qilin were frowning in worry, Tianlu, who had finished showing off his treasures, came over from nowhere: "Father and Mother, do you have any more golden balls? Or any other treasures will do."
Upon hearing this, Shi Qilin knew that Tianlu thought Haochen would wake up once he had eaten enough treasures, which was why he was asking him for treasures.
Although the Qilin believed that Haochen had not fainted because of the treasure, it still swung its hoof and conjured up a pile of gold and coral again.
Tianlu first picked out two large golden balls and handed them to Bixie: "Bixie, you should also eat some golden balls. I just ate some outside."
After force-feeding Hao Chen a lot of golden balls, Tian Lu frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why didn't Hao Chen wake up after eating the golden balls?"
Bixie, who had been silent all along, suddenly pointed at the golden ball on the ground and said, "Tianlu, could it be because he's not eating enough? I think if there were more powerful foods to provide Haochen with nutrition, he might be able to wake up."
“Bixie, you’re right.” Tianlu said as if he had found a kindred spirit.
Then Tianlu turned his gaze to Shi Qilin: "Father, do you know where there are stronger prey? Bixie and I will go and catch some. Haochen will become stronger and he will get better after eating them."
Upon hearing this, the First Qilin blurted out without hesitation, "An even stronger prey... that would be the Divine Dragon Zhuyin in the northwest, a world unto itself. I almost got burned to death last time I was just passing by."
Tianlu didn't see the fear on Shi Qilin's face when he said those words. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit and pulled Bixie and Sibuxiang along.
"Bixie, let's go and get him, capture him and let Haochen eat him, then Haochen will wake up."
Bixie, equally oblivious to the abnormality of the First Qilin, nodded to Tianlu and said, "Yes, let's go catch the dragon."
Just as Bixie and Tianlu climbed onto the Four-Unlikes and were about to go find Zhulong, Yuqilin, standing to the side, poked Shiqilin in the waist in dissatisfaction.
Faced with the puzzled look of the First Qilin, the Jade Qilin did not offer any explanation. After glaring at the First Qilin, it went to check on Haochen's condition.
What Shi Qilin didn't know was that Yu Qilin was furious with him at that moment. Who told him to be such a chatterbox and tell everyone everything?
Now she has to worry about her son going on a dangerous trip and getting hurt.
Although Sibuxiang had heard of Zhulong's power, he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he was not too afraid and set off to find him with Bixie and Tianlu on his back.
"Father and Mother, we'll be right back. Little Coal Ball is in your care now."
Yu Qilin saw the determination in their eyes and could only sigh, "Sons, if you can't win, come back and we'll think of another way. Don't make your father and mother worry."
"I understand, Mother." Si Bu responded and then led Bi Xie and the others, flying swiftly towards the northwest.
After the Four-Faced Beasts left, Yu Qilin suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "I know! It's Meng Ji! Husband, quickly contact Meng Ji and have them come and check on the situation!"
"What?" Shi Qilin was startled by Yu Qilin's voice, but after Yu Qilin's explanation, he understood the key point.
If there's nothing wrong with his physical body and spirit, then the problem lies with his thinking. In other words, Hao Chen's mind is trapped somewhere and can't get out, just like Hao Chen keeps having a dream.
Mengji, a mythical beast, is the king of thought, and it is more professional in dealing with situations like Haochen's.
“Wife, I understand. It just so happens that we know the Mengji Zhongdou clan. I’ll contact them right away and have them send someone over to take a look.”
Just as Shi Qilin finished contacting Meng Ji and asking them to send people to help, a series of "whooshing" horn sounds suddenly echoed throughout the world.
The next moment, a series of deep war drumbeats also came from the direction of the Heavenly Court.
The "thump, thump, thump" sound seemed to strike the soul, making one's blood boil with excitement.
A desolate aura emerged between heaven and earth, followed by wisps of energy rising and rushing towards the outer heavens.
"Is this...war?"
At the same time, the Four-Faced Beasts also heard the sounds of horns and war drums, but they ignored them and continued flying northwest.
Behind them, Chen Ying and Ao Zhan followed closely, keeping a steady pace.
"Second brother, are you saying that we can find Zhulong by following them?"
Upon hearing Ao Zhan address him as his second brother, Chen Ying nodded expressionlessly, but a hint of displeasure flashed deep in his eyes.
“That’s right, brother. The Qilin represents good luck, and with the Pixiu, we can find the Zhulong by following them.”
At this point, Chen Ying added, "But don't forget what you promised me, brother. I emptied my coffers to help you hold off the Heavenly Court."
"Don't worry, once your bloodline evolves and you become the Supreme Being, you will definitely keep your promise and send all those who have attained enlightenment to the Third Realm."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, brother." Chen Ying looked at Ao Zhan, a meaningful smile flashing across his lips.
