There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 115 Competition

After the people from Heaven left, Zhanhu turned his gaze to Haochen and the others. Zhanhu stepped forward and used his body to block the wooden box left behind by Chiyou.

Meanwhile, Zhanhu's claws occasionally scratched at the ground, as if he was considering whether or not to fight Haochen and the others.

Hao Chen was also having a headache. He had been trying to improve his relationship with Zhan Hu, but Tian Lu's actions had made things even more strained.

Hao Chen looked at Tian Lu helplessly: "Tian Lu, why did you have to come looking for some treasure? Couldn't you have waited until I dealt with Zhan Hu, and then we could look for it together?"

"I..." Tianlu wanted to defend himself, but when the words reached his lips, he didn't know how to begin.

In the end, Tianlu had no choice but to lower his head and admit his mistake to Haochen, and made a promise: I'm sorry, Haochen, don't be angry anymore, okay? I'll listen to you from now on.

Seeing this, Bixie pulled Haochen's paw and shook it repeatedly, speaking up for Tianlu: "Little Hao, don't be angry with Tianlu. It's my fault for not watching over Tianlu properly. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

Hao Chen hadn't originally intended to blame Tian Lu, and he was actually also eyeing what Zhan Hu was guarding. It could be said that even without Tian Lu's actions, Hao Chen would probably have found an opportunity to come and look for it himself.

What's more, Bixie even acted cute towards Tianlu. Can you imagine how powerful it is for a slightly arrogant, fluffy creature to act cute? In any case, Haochen couldn't resist Bixie's temptation.

Hao Chen took the opportunity to pull up Bixie's paw and pat it, and then squeezed Bixie's paw pads a few times: "Bixie, I don't blame you, but I hope that in the future you will discuss things with me, after all, we are companions."

"Phew~ Haochen, we understand." Bixie and Tianlu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, thankfully Haochen wasn't angry with them.

After dealing with Bixie and Tianlu, Haochen looked at Zhanhu, who was still on high alert. The most important thing now was to figure out a way to fool Zhanhu.

Hao Chen had no interest in fighting or killing; he'd rather spend that time enjoying the company of his furry friend.

"What should we do? Judging from Zhanhu's attitude, a simple apology probably won't work."

Hao Chen glanced at Zhan Hu, then at Tian Lu and the others, when a sudden thought struck him: "That's right, how could I forget about this? We are Pixiu!"

Seemingly having made up his mind, Hao Chen walked towards Zhan Hu and said, "Zhan Hu, we mean no harm."

"Roar~ Roar~"

When Zhan Hu saw Hao Chen approaching, he roared and warned, "Stop! You are not welcome here. Leave my territory."

Zhan Hu was furious and had no intention of paying attention to Hao Chen's words. If he weren't afraid that the other party would join forces and he couldn't defeat them on his own, Zhan Hu would probably have made a move immediately.

Hao Chen's eyes darted around, and then he said, "Since you don't welcome us, Zhan Hu, how about we have a match, the kind where one game decides the winner?"

"If we lose, not only will we leave this place, but I can even serve you as my master for a year, and vice versa. How about it?"

Upon hearing the conditions Hao Chen offered, not only Zhan Hu was frightened, but even Bi Xie and Tian Lu were startled by Hao Chen's words.

Bixie whispered, "Xiaohao, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Tianlu directly refused Zhanhu, saying, "Hmph, it's just leaving, why are you acting like nobody wants to stay in this lousy place? We're not going to use Haochen to bet with you."

After Tianlu finished speaking, he and Bixie grabbed Haochen from either side and tried to drag him away.

Hao Chen was not having it. He wanted to use this competition to defeat Zhan Hu and make Zhan Hu willingly become his servant for a year. He thought it would be a lot of fun.

"No, Bixie, Tianlu, believe me, I won't do anything I'm not sure of."

No matter what Hao Chen said, Bi Xie wouldn't take the risk and agree to this absurd competition between Hao Chen and Zhan Hu.

Zhan Hu was not surprised by this, after all, the bet was really big, so big that Zhan Hu dared not agree. Just thinking about how if he agreed and lost the competition, he would have to become Hao Chen's servant.

Seeing that Bixie and Tianlu disagreed, Haochen had no choice but to suddenly extend his claws and quickly tap them, instantly sealing their divine power and even freezing them in place.

"Xiao Hao, what do you want to do? Let us go! We will not agree to this!"

Tianlu, standing to the side, looked anxious, but his divine power had also been sealed and his body had been immobilized by a spell, making him unable to move at all.

Hao Chen apologized to Bi Xie and Tian Lu, saying, "Bi Xie, Tian Lu, please believe me, I will not lose this competition."

After Hao Chen finished speaking, he looked at Zhan Hu, seemingly waiting for Zhan Hu's reply. Zhan Hu looked at Hao Chen with great interest: "I said even your brothers don't believe you, do you still want to compete?"

Hao Chen didn't take it seriously, and instead provoked him, "Don't worry about whether they believe me or not, just tell me if you dare to have a real male beast battle."

"A male beast?! Do you have one?"

As Zhan Hu spoke, his gaze swept over Hao Chen's bare belly. Zhan Hu even went so far as to mark a maple tree right in front of Hao Chen, a provocative act that immediately ignited Hao Chen's anger.

Hao Chen thought to himself, "What can I do about the way Heaven and Earth created me?"

But even in defeat, Hao Chen wouldn't back down. Faced with Zhan Hu's provocation, Hao Chen coldly said, "Whether it's a male or not, you'll find out by trying."

"Hmph, you think you can be Chi You's mount, the War Tiger, without even daring to engage in a small contest? No wonder Chi You didn't take you with him in the final battle."

"What did you say? Humph, let's compete then, I'm not afraid of you."

Zhanhu was impulsive by nature, and Haochen further provoked him by bringing up the fact that Chiyou hadn't taken him to the battlefield. In his impulsiveness, Zhanhu disregarded the consequences and directly agreed to the contest with Haochen.

But just as Zhanhu assumed a fighting stance, Haochen suddenly raised his paw, signaling Zhanhu to pause: "Wait a minute."

Zhanhu was somewhat puzzled: "What, didn't you want to compete? Then come and fight, I'll wipe you out."

"You rude fellow," Hao Chen said disdainfully, then added, "Fighting and killing could hurt anyone. We're not going to fight today."

"Not fighting? Then what are we competing in?" Zhanhu asked, puzzled.

Hao Chen's lips curled into a smile. He thought to himself, "This silly tiger has finally taken the bait. Now you can obediently accept defeat and become my servant."

"If we're going to compete in eating, we'll see who can eat the fastest and the most."

After Hao Chen finished speaking, he waved his claws, and two piles of food, each about ten meters high, instantly appeared on the ground.

Tianlu's mouth watered as he looked at the mountain of food. If he weren't physically unable to move, he would definitely be the first to rush over.

Hao Chen continued, "I won't bully you. I won't go up. Let Tianlu go up on our side."

Upon hearing this, Zhanhu sized up Tianlu. Zhanhu knew that Tianlu could grow larger, but even if the other party grew larger, he would still not be as big as himself.

Zhanhu thought to himself that he was bigger than his opponent and should be able to eat more, so he had the advantage.

After seeing that Zhan Hu agreed, Hao Chen snapped his fingers, and the immobilization spells on Bixie and Tianlu were lifted, while their divine power was restored.

Tianlu looked at the two piles of food, drooling, and said, "Haochen, when do we start? I'm getting hungry just looking at it."

Hao Chen patted Tian Lu's belly: "Tian Lu, this time it's up to you. Eat as much as you want, but don't lose!"

When it comes to food, Tianlu doesn't mind letting Haochen take advantage of the situation: "You can leave Haochen to me without worry."

Bixie watched Haochen rubbing Tianlu's belly, his eyelids twitched. If the situation weren't so bad, he would definitely have taken Haochen's hand off Tianlu's belly.

After Zhanhu checked the food and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, the competition began.

Zhan Hu was thinking that after winning, he would give Hao Chen a little punishment to show him how powerful he was.

However, the match ended the moment Zhanhu lost focus, and Tianlu, now in his larger form, quickly finished the food Haochen had prepared.

Tianlu shouted, "I've finished eating! I won! Yay!"

Upon hearing Tianlu's voice, Zhanhu was startled. He looked up at Tianlu and froze in shock.

Zhanhu: "???"

What the hell? I just started and you've already ended it? What was the point of all this competition?

Tianlu had no idea what Zhanhu was thinking, but he knew that Zhanhu wasn't full yet: "Ah, that's all? I'm still not full. Haochen, do you have any more?"

To Zhanhu, Tianlu's words were a blatant provocation, but he dared not refute them.

Hao Chen was not surprised that Tianlu won. When it comes to food, the only one who could beat Pixiu was Taotie.

"Zhanhu, you lost, so now you belong to me."

When Hao Chen's words reached Zhan Hu's ears, Zhan Hu was instantly filled with pain. He should have known better than to compete; now he'd ruined himself.

Hao Chen stroked his chin, his eyes scanning Zhan Hu's body, before saying, "Hehehe, Zhan Hu, you're my servant now. I want you..."
