There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 125 Parting ways

"...History cannot be changed. Don't try to change anything. You are just a witness to the passage of time."

An inexplicable voice rang in Hao Chen's mind, accompanied by endless pressure, which immediately made Hao Chen's hair stand on end.

Hao Chen was filled with fear, but seeing that the Four-Faced Beasts and the others were not acting strangely, it seemed that the voice and pressure were only directed at him.

"Who is this? Could it be Yuan Ying from earlier? No, his voice isn't like that. Then who is it? I don't think I've offended anyone, have I?"

Just as Hao Chen was pondering this, the dramatic changes caused by the fall of chaos gradually returned to calm, and the chaotic laws stabilized again.

It was so quiet that it was as if nothing had happened, except that a mountain range, formed from chaos, had appeared between heaven and earth.

Bixie looked down at the mountains below, his eyes filled with urgency, completely lacking his usual composure and maturity: "Let's stop, Tianlu, let's go check the situation!"

They jumped off the back of the four-legged creature and landed on the mountain range formed from chaos, digging into the ground in an attempt to excavate the chaos.

"Big Guy! Jiang Jiang! Where are you?!"

The four-legged beasts, Bixie and Tianlu, kept digging at the ground, even wearing their claws out, but they refused to stop. They advised, "Don't waste your energy. Didn't you all see that the big guy turned into this mountain?"

After hearing what the Four-Unlikes said, Bixie remained silent for a moment, but continued digging without saying a word. Tianlu, however, cried and shouted at the Four-Unlikes, "Shut up, Four-Unlikes!"

"She chose the way she wanted to die, to be with Jiang Jiang forever. It should have been a happy thing for her, so why are you all crying?"

Si Bu Xiang did not understand Bi Xie and Tian Lu's feelings for Di Jiang and Hundun. In his opinion, Hundun chose to turn into a mountain to accompany her Di Jiang. This was her choice. As friends, shouldn't they bless them?

Si Bu Xiang looked at Hao Chen with a puzzled expression: "Little Coal Ball, did I say something wrong? Why do Little Plum Blossom and Little Blue Circle look so sad?"

Si Bu Xiang originally wanted Hao Chen to help persuade Bi Xie and the others, but found that Hao Chen was standing quietly in place as if he had lost his mind.

This immediately panicked Sibuxiang, who kept calling out to Haochen and trying to wake him up by shaking him: "Um... Little Coal Ball, what's wrong? Little Coal Ball..."

But before the Four-Faced Beast could continue calling for Hao Chen, the Qiongqi that flew down from the sky, Taotie, and the others heard what the Four-Faced Beast had just said and immediately blamed their sister's death on the Four-Faced Beast.

The Taotie bared its teeth at the Qilin, looking ready to bite at the slightest provocation: "Eeya eeya ya ya!"

"You're talking nonsense. If it weren't for you, my sister would still be with us and wouldn't have died."

Taotie glared angrily at the Four-Faced Beast, its fur standing on end. If it weren't for Hao Chen standing behind the Four-Faced Beast, it probably would have already attacked.

Qiongqi was the most agitated, shouting at Sibuxiang, "That's right, what do you know! If you hadn't said those things to my sister, she wouldn't have died! Keep babbling and I'll bite you to death!"

As Qiongqi spoke, tears of grievance welled up in his eyes, but he still bit his lip tightly to prevent the tears from falling.

The four-faced creature, oblivious to the situation, continued, "Calm down, I'm right, aren't I?"

The words of the Four-Unlikes immediately enraged the Taotie, who was usually the most cared for by Chaos. He didn't care whether Hao Chen was still standing behind the Four-Unlikes, and jumped to bite at the Four-Unlikes.

The four-legged creature was startled and quickly jumped to the side, thus avoiding being bitten by the Taotie: "Hey, let's talk this out, don't bite me."

The words of the Four-Unlikes caught the attention of Bixie and Tianlu. When they turned around, they realized that the Four-Unlikes had been bullied.

Having already been in a bad mood after witnessing the deaths of Bixie and Tianlu, he couldn't sit still any longer when he saw Sibuxiang being bullied in front of them. He stepped in front of Sibuxiang to block him.

Tianlu said to Qiongqi and the others, "Get out of the way! Even if the Four-Faced Beast is talking nonsense, it's not your place to bully him!"

Qiongqi, blinded by rage and grief over the death of Chaos, seemed to have forgotten that Bixie and the others could grow larger. Not to be outdone, it shouted defiantly, "If it weren't for Big Sister and Boss protecting you, you would have been eaten by us long ago!"

Bixie said with a gloomy face, "Enough with the nonsense. If you're not convinced, let's fight!"

The Four-Unlikes couldn't have imagined that the situation would turn out this way. Not long ago, they were chatting and laughing, but now they were at each other's throats.

But just when Si Bu Xiang wanted to ask Hao Chen to mediate, they discovered that Hao Chen had disappeared without a trace.

"Little Plum Blossom, something terrible has happened! Little Coal Ball is missing!"

"What did you say, Four-Faced Beast?"

After hearing what the Four-Unlikes said, Bixie looked around and found that Haochen was indeed gone. He immediately became anxious: "Tianlu, don't waste your breath on them. Let's go find Haochen first, and we'll deal with them later."

Qiongqi and the others naturally heard what Si Buxiang said. They looked around and found that their leader was indeed missing. Their gazes toward Si Buxiang immediately turned hostile.

Qiongqi pointed at the Four-Faced Beast and said, "Well, you Qilin, first you're my elder sister, then you're my boss. Meeting you is really bad luck."

The Four-Faced Beast retreated repeatedly, shaking its head in protest, "No..."

Just as Si Bu Xiang was about to explain, Qiong Qi interrupted him, saying, "You still say it wasn't you? The boss was standing right behind you just now, and now that the boss is gone, you're the one who hid him."

"I figured it out a long time ago. You're just jealous of how good the boss is to us. You don't want him to protect us; you want us to be eaten by the other mythical beasts so you can have all of the boss's love to yourself."

The Four-Unlikes: "???"

Qiongqi saw that the Four-Faced Beast was speechless and thought that he had hit the nail on the head, so he continued, "Let me tell you, don't even think about it. Taotie and I will find the boss. You can't have the boss all to yourself."

After being scolded by Qiongqi, Sibuxiang looked at Bixie with a wronged expression: "Little Plum Blossom, Little Coal Ball is gone. It really wasn't me, you have to believe me!"

"Well, I believe you."

The words of warding off evil spirits reassured Si Bu Xiang a lot, as long as his little plum blossom believed in him.

Afterwards, the four of them, including Qiongqi, were very hostile towards them. They even tried to persuade Qiongqi to sit down and have a good talk to clear up the misunderstanding and not to fight, since they had spent several days together.

"Let's talk this out, why... Ouch! Who bit me?"

But Taotie somehow bypassed Bixie and Tianlu, sneaking up behind Sibuxiang and biting down on its tail: "Awooo!"

This caused the Four-Unlikes to cry from the pain, and Taotie's act of harming the Four-Unlikes also angered Bixie.

Seeing that the Four-Faced Beast's tail was bleeding from being bitten by the Taotie, Bixie roared and charged forward: "You dare to launch a sneak attack? Get away from the Four-Faced Beast!"

Qiongqi and Taotie exchanged a glance and then decided to work together to stop Bixie: "Quick, stop that red-haired beast!"

"Stop ganging up on the few? Stop right there."

Tianlu naturally couldn't just stand by and watch Qiongqi and the others besiege Bixie, so he immediately stood in front of them and started fighting with them.

The four-legged beast charged forward, and I quickly warned, "Little Plum Blossom, watch out for its bite force...!"

Upon hearing the Four-Unlikes' reminder, Bixie paused in its tracks. Seeing this, Taotie abandoned the Four-Unlikes and turned to bite Bixie.

"Oh no!" Upon seeing this, Bixie quickly turned his head, but he was too close to Taotie and still couldn't completely evade Taotie's sneak attack.

Hiss~

The next moment, Taotie bit off a small piece of Bixie's left ear and ate the bitten-off ear.

This scene immediately silenced the crowd. Tianlu stopped fighting Qiongqi and the others, and asked with a worried expression, "Bixie?! Are you alright?"

Bixie stepped on Taotie, causing Taotie to cry out in pain.

Feeling the warm liquid flowing down his cheeks, smelling the blood in the air, and remembering that Jiang Jiang had turned into light and disappeared completely not long ago, that Big Guy had turned into a mountain and left them, that Hao Chen had vanished without a trace, and that Si Bu Xiang had been ambushed and bullied, all of Bi Xie's anger and displeasure were completely ignited at this moment.

Driven by this rage, Bixie's body began to grow larger. The Qiongqi and Taotie, which were originally about the same size as him, were now smaller than his claws in his eyes.

After growing larger, Bixie slammed its claw heavily onto the ground, baring its teeth as it glared at Qiongqi and the other two.

"You bunch of vermin! Going around in circles, going around in circles, it's so annoying! Today I'm going to slaughter you all!"

Qiongqi's legs trembled: "How cunning! They've actually grown bigger!"

"No, but we won't be afraid even if it grows bigger!" Qiongqi said it wasn't afraid, but its body was trembling and it was obediently backing away.

The next moment, Qiongqi seized the opportunity, exchanged a glance with Taotie, hoisted Taotie onto its back, and ran away.

As he left, Qiongqi didn't forget to utter a threat: "Hmph! But something came up today! Just you wait, next time I'll wipe you all out!"

Looking at the Taotie that was still making faces at him, Bixie said disdainfully, "If you have the guts, don't run away!"

Seeing that Qiongqi and the others had left, Bixie felt a piercing pain in his ears, but soon he felt a cool sensation in them.

Bixie turned around and found that the Four-Faced Beast had appeared beside him at some point and was licking his ears.

"Your ear is bleeding, don't move."

The Four-Unlikes held Bixie's head, preventing him from moving, and carefully licked his wounds, using the Qilin's saliva to help Bixie's wounds heal quickly.

“Plum Blossom protected me…” Looking at the missing piece of Bixie’s ear, Si Buxiang was filled with emotion, but also with guilt. If it weren’t for him, his plum blossom wouldn’t have been injured.

After the Four-Unlikes healed his wounds, Bixie transformed back to normal. Looking in the direction Qiongqi and the others had left, he said indignantly, "Tch, if that chatterbox hadn't run away so fast, I would have eaten him."

To avoid worrying Tianlu, Bixie suppressed his grief: Damn it, damn it, damn it, Big Guy and Jiangjiang...

Tianlu stepped forward and asked, "Bixie, are Da Ge'er and Jiang Jiang... are they... are they..."

Bixie opened his mouth. He knew, of course, that their friends would not return, but like Tianlu, he was unwilling to admit or accept this fact: "...I don't know, Tianlu, I don't know."

Bixie and Tianlu sat facing each other, bowing their heads, silently blessing Hundun and Dijiang: Goodbye, our friends, may you dream of flowers and her.

At the same time, Hao Chen looked at the man in front of him wearing the Nine Dragons Imperial Robe: "Who are you? You're the one who brought me here? What is your purpose?"
