There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 282 The Poor Man Who Kept His Mouth Shut

Because someone needed to stay and guard the temple, and Qiongtian calculated that the so-called immortal realm would still take some time before it could truly descend.

Therefore, Hao Chen did not intend to make a big fuss and only planned to bring Zhan Hu.

As for Qiongtian, Haochen instructed him and Black Spade to stay and guard the temple.

Meanwhile, An Ye and Ru Yan were still dealing with the final work in the Holy Light Realm, so Hao Chen didn't assign them any tasks.

As a world no weaker than the Dark Universe, even though Hao Chen defeated the God Lord, he could not make all forces submit at once.

There will always be one or two forces that choose to put up a last-ditch resistance.

Therefore, Hao Chen ordered An Ye to lead a portion of the temple's forces to temporarily garrison in the Holy Light Realm, where they could plunder resources and suppress any disobedient forces.

After receiving Hao Chen's orders, Qiong Tian left.

However, because he accidentally stumbled upon Hao Chen and Zhan Hu's affair, Qiong Tian was distracted and accidentally bumped into Ao Hen who was walking towards him.

Ao Hen rubbed the spot where he had been bumped, looking at Qiong Tian with a displeased expression: "Hey, Qiong Tian, ​​what are you thinking? Did your wife get stolen? Can't you watch where you're going?"

"Get out of here." Qiong Tianchao rolled his eyes fiercely.

Immediately remembering Hao Chen's instructions, Qiong Tian called out to Ao Heng, who was about to leave: "It's just in time that you've arrived. The Daoist Master has something to instruct us on."

After listening to Qiong Tian's words, Ao Heng wanted to go down and make some arrangements, but unexpectedly saw Qiong Tian looking hesitant, which immediately aroused Ao Heng's gossipy heart.

Qiong Tian was also someone who couldn't keep a secret. Even though Hao Chen had warned him beforehand, he couldn't resist Ao Hen's persistent pleading.

Seeing that no one was around, Qiong Tian pulled Ao Heng to a corner and asked mysteriously, "Ao Heng, do you remember the big white tiger that Daoist Master brought back a few days ago?"

"I remember, Daoist Master seemed to have said his name was Zhan Hu." Ao Hen thought for a moment and then nodded: "What about him? Did he offend you?"

Ao Heng still remembers being startled when they first met Zhan Hu, because he was very similar to the original form of Spade, except that Spade's fur was a bit darker.

If they hadn't been hatched from eggs at the same time as Spade, Aohen would have almost thought Zhanhu and Spade were twin brothers.

Qiong Tian shook his head: "I dare not provoke him now."

Before Aohen could ask, Qiongtian continued, "I discovered that Daoist Master's purpose in bringing that big white tiger back was not pure."

Ao Heng's curiosity was immediately piqued by Qiong Tian's words, and he eagerly asked, "What did you say? What did you hear?"

"This morning when I went to report important matters to the Daoist Master, I smelled a different scent on him; it had that scent of intercourse."

"The taste of intercourse?" Ao Heng was somewhat puzzled, not understanding Qiong Tian's meaning for a moment.

Seeing this, Qiong Tian whispered a few words in Ao Heng's ear, saying that he suspected Zhan Hu was Dao Zun's little lover.

In an instant, Ao Hen's face turned pale. He covered Qiong Tian's mouth with his hand, and after circling around and seeing that no one was there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You bastard, are you trying to kill me? How could you say such things? If the Daoist Master knew, he would skin us alive."

Qiong Tian didn't take it seriously and told Ao Heng to relax: "Ao Heng, I only told you this because I consider you a brother. Don't tell anyone else, otherwise if the Dao Venerable finds out, I'm afraid I won't see the sun tomorrow."

Upon hearing Qiong Tian's words, Ao Heng wondered if he had misunderstood Qiong Tian.

Yes, Qiong Tian was reminding himself that Zhan Hu was no ordinary person, with Dao Zun standing behind him. Qiong Tian wanted him to avoid causing trouble for Zhan Hu.

Ao Heng was moved and held Qiong Tian's hand tightly: "Brother, well done! I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

"???" Qiong Tian looked puzzled. What was Ao Hen, that idiot, talking about? He hadn't done anything.

Then, Aohen thumped his chest loudly: "Brother Qiongtian, thanks for the reminder. Don't you know who I am? This matter today is known only to heaven, earth, you, and me. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Then don't talk nonsense." Although Qiong Tian didn't know what Ao Heng was imagining, he felt much better after revealing his secret.

After Qiong Tian left, Ao Hen rolled his eyes and thought that he should inform Pao Xiao about this matter. After all, they were brothers, and it would save him from being reckless and causing trouble for Zhan Hu, and in the end, offending the Daoist Master.

So, Aohen found Paoxiao and recounted the story of Zhanhu and Haochen, warning Paoxiao never to tell anyone else about it.

But after thinking about it, Paoxiao still told Spade about it, since they were both temple protectors.

What Paoxiao didn't know was that Heitao had long disliked Qiongtian and spent the whole day by Haochen's side, just spouting nice things.

With Spade's deliberate intentions, it was soon known that everyone in the temple with any status was playing the game of hiding a tiger in a golden house.

As it spread, many versions emerged within a few days, from the initial story of Haochen and Zhanhu being in love to the later story of Haochen being lustful towards Zhanhu and choosing to forcibly abduct him.

Fortunately, Hao Chen was focused on Zhan Hu and preparing for the Canglan Star Region, unaware that everyone in the temple was talking about him.

It is estimated that Hao Chen will not discover the good deeds Qiong Tian has done until the matter in the Canglan Star Region is over.

After returning to the room, Hao Chen saw that Zhan Hu was still asleep. He went over and nudged Zhan Hu, asking, "Zhan Hu, are you alright? Can you get up?"

"Ha~~ Haochen, stop messing around, let me sleep a little longer..." Zhanhu yawned and then turned over to continue sleeping.

Seeing this, Hao Chen couldn't bear to disturb Zhan Hu's sleep. He could only blame himself for taking too much last night. If Zhan Hu hadn't had some reserves, he probably would have been completely drained.

After tidying up the blankets covering Zhanhu, Haochen went to the side, took out a futon, and sat down.

"With my current strength, after I undergo another transformation, even a Celestial King would probably shed blood. But as for a Quasi-Celestial Emperor... tsk tsk, that's still a bit troublesome."

Hao Chen sighed helplessly. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was still a long way from that level.

However, the Nine Revolutions Devouring Heaven technique helped Hao Chen far more than he had expected. He would probably be able to touch the threshold of the Immortal Emperor after he completed the Nine Transformations.

Immortal Emperor! The pinnacle of immortality, the highest realm that the entire Xuanhuang Realm can accommodate. To go any higher, one must travel to the true continent above Xuanhuang.

However, these are still too far away for Hao Chen at present. The most urgent task is to complete the nine transformations first.

"We still need to have Dark Night and the others work harder to take over more worlds."

Just then, Hao Chen suddenly heard Zhan Hu get up. He turned around and saw Zhan Hu lying on the bed looking exhausted.

Hao Chen quickly got up and went to Zhan Hu's side: "Hey, Zhan Hu, you're awake!!!"

"Huh?! Haochen, how long have I been asleep?" Zhanhu rubbed his sleepy eyes.

However, just as Zhan Hu was about to get up, his body suddenly stiffened, and he felt a weakness in his waist.

Zhanhu gasped, his paws instinctively reaching for his kidneys: "Damn it, I can't be this crazy anymore, or Haochen will drain me dry sooner or later."

Hao Chen was unaware of Zhan Hu's thoughts and was smiling at him, saying, "Zhan Hu, you're recovering quite well. I thought you wouldn't wake up until tonight."

Seeing that Hao Chen had underestimated him, Zhan Hu immediately retorted, "Hmph, Hao Chen, you're underestimating me too much."

"Oh, then another battle now wouldn't be much of a problem for you, would it?" Hao Chen said, reaching out to touch Zhan Hu's lychee.

The sudden attack startled Zhan Hu, who quickly grabbed Hao Chen's ill-intentioned hand: "Wait, Hao Chen, it's not appropriate to do this in broad daylight."

"What does it matter? Nobody saw it." Hao Chen pushed Zhan Hu down, revealing his soft belly.

Zhan Hu felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the malicious smile on Hao Chen's lips. He quickly begged for mercy, "Hao Chen, please, I was wrong, okay?"

Seeing that Zhan Hu had given in, Hao Chen released his hand from the lychee and quickly kissed the beauty mark under Zhan Hu's left eye: "I'll let you off this time, we'll talk about it when we get back."

"Huh? Haochen, you're leaving?" Zhanhu was startled. Without thinking of anything else, he flipped over and pinned Haochen down.

Hao Chen felt a warmth in his heart when he saw Zhan Hu's anxious and concerned expression. Although it was quite comfortable to be pressed down by Zhan Hu like this, Hao Chen still pushed Zhan Hu away.

"Alright, it's not me who's leaving, it's us." Hao Chen then briefly explained the situation in the Canglan Star Region to Zhan Hu.

When Zhanhu heard that Haochen was going to take him along, he happily licked Haochen's face, just like a large pet.

Hao Chen wiped the saliva off his face and said with a look of disgust, "Zhan Hu, if you dare to spit on my face again, I'll show you what it means to be a cow that only dies from exhaustion."

"Ahem, there's no need to get so worked up." Zhan Hu guiltily withdrew his tongue.

After playing around with Zhanhu for a while, Haochen secretly led Zhanhu away from the temple.

Because Qiong Tian and the others had been keeping an eye on Hao Chen's actions, Qiong Tian learned of Hao Chen's departure from the temple as soon as he left.

Watching Hao Chen's departing figure, Qiong Tian said smugly, "I told you so, didn't I? Dao Zun and that tiger are having an affair."

“It really is true.” Ao Hen looked at Hao Chen’s back with shock and said, “I remember last time we carried Dao Zun, we were scolded by Dao Zun for flying too slowly. But when it was this white tiger’s turn, it was so much slower than us, and Dao Zun didn’t get angry at all.”

"Not only was he not angry, I even saw the Daoist Master smile." Paoxiao sighed, "Do you guys remember when the last time the Daoist Master smiled?"

Upon hearing Paoxiao's question, Qiongtian and the others fell silent, then quietly turned and left.

Hao Chen sneezed unexpectedly in the distance. Zhan Hu stopped when he heard the sound: "Hao Chen, are you alright? Did you catch a cold last night?"

"I'm fine, Zhanhu, let's continue on our way." Haochen waved his hand to indicate to Zhanhu that he didn't need to worry.

Immediately afterwards, Hao Chen sat on Zhan Hu's back and muttered to himself, "Don't let me find out which guy is stalking me from behind."
