The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

At noon, after Bixie brought the prepared food to the table, he called out to Baijie inside the house, "Baijie, come out and eat."

"Okay, coming," Bai Jie replied, then closed the webpage and ran out.

"Huh? Where's Tianlu?" Bai Jie was surprised to not see Tianlu after coming out: You used to be the most enthusiastic when it came to cooking, why haven't you come home yet at mealtime today?

"I don't know." Bixie looked at the doorway with some worry: Tianlu, that idiot, I hope something bad has happened to him again.

Bai Jie noticed Bi Xie's worry and comforted him, "It's alright, Tian Lu is still very capable. He can definitely escape if he encounters danger. He probably ate outside since he didn't come back."

"Phew, alright, Baijie, let's eat first. After we finish eating, I'll take you out to find Tianlu." After Baijie's comforting words, Bixie's worries dissipated considerably, but he still planned to go out and search after finishing his meal.

"Okay, sure." After agreeing, he buried himself in his food and started eating. This time, no beasts were trying to take his food away from him.

So what is our Tianlu doing now?

Tianlu picked up the large bowl in front of him, brought it to his lips, tilted his head back, and swallowed all the food in the bowl in one gulp.

"Glug." Tianlu slammed the empty bowl on the table with a loud bang, wiped his mouth, and said heartily, "Boss, another bowl, please!"

They didn't look like they were eating; they looked more like they were having a drinking contest.

"Wow, that's amazing! How many bowls has this been? You can still eat!"

"It's so small but it can eat so much, there must be a black hole in its stomach!"

"Keep it up! Let's try to bankrupt this restaurant!"

A crowd of onlookers surrounded Tianlu, some praising his prowess, others urging him to bankrupt the shop owner.

Let's broaden our perspective a bit. Right at the entrance of this restaurant, there's a sign with a bold, eye-catching line of text: "Big Eater Competition."

Xiaoyu and Jiuyue mingled in the crowd watching Tianlu Ganfan. After watching for a while, Jiuyue couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this the Pixiu? I never expected you to be so fierce in this field. Who can subdue it?"

"Huh?" Xiaoyu tilted her head and instantly understood what Jiuyue meant: "Is it difficult to raise? But I feel like I can afford to raise it?"

"Uh..." September was speechless: She had forgotten that her best friend was a super rich person.

"Hey, September, look! That shop owner looks really awful!" Xiaoyu's attention was quickly drawn to something else, and she pointed at the restaurant owner's face as she spoke.

Following Xiaoyu's direction, September looked and said, "Yes, that's true."

The restaurant owner's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was clutching his chest, as if he was in great pain.

"Boss, I've calculated it. Here are today's expenses." A staff member walked up to the restaurant owner, his voice trembling, and handed him a bill.

The restaurant owner took it and glanced at it, then felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and his heart ached even more.

"No, this can't go on." The restaurant owner decided to do something. He went up to Tianlu and said with a smile, "Well, sir, you've won first place. Shouldn't you come and collect your prize?"

The restaurant owner had already made up his mind: once you receive the prize, the competition is over, and I won't have to provide free meals anymore.

(He had a good plan, but it was useless.)

"No, I'm not full yet," Tianlu shook his head and refused.

The restaurant owner was almost on his knees (mentally broken): "My dear, I beg you, please stop eating! Two of the chefs in the kitchen have already collapsed. If you keep eating, we'll really go bankrupt!"

The restaurant owner looked at Tianlu with a tearful expression, and Tianlu was stunned: "Hey! Don't be like this, okay? I won't eat!"

Tianlu felt a sudden pang of panic: I shouldn't have caused any trouble, right? I guess so.

Let's turn our attention back to Bai Jie.

"Dong dong dong."

"Who?"

"It's me, your landlord."

Xu Xian knocked on the door, and after a short while, the door was opened.

"What brings you here?" Bai Jie asked from the doorway.

"Um, let's put that aside for now. By the way, how do you open this door?" Xu Xian looked at Bai Jie, who was only half his calf tall, and then at the doorknob, and couldn't help but ask.

"Mind your own business!" Bai Jie rolled his eyes: This person's focus is so strange.

"Hmm... alright." Xu Xian didn't mind that Bai Jie was unwilling to talk, and walked into the house in a very familiar manner.

"So what exactly did you come here for?" Bai Jie asked Xu Xian as he closed the door and returned to the dining table.

"Well... I have a question for you."

"What's the matter?" Bai Jie asked, puzzled: Why is he being so hesitant?

"Ahem." Xu Xian coughed twice and asked his question: "Do you know how to catch mice?"

"What!" Bai Jie wondered if he had misheard.

"Do you... know how to catch mice?" Xu Xian asked again, his voice weak.

Bai Jie's lips twitched. He felt this guy must be out of his mind. "Do we look like felines to you?"

"Hmm...it doesn't look like that, it looks more like a canine." Xu Xian replied after careful observation.

"Then why did you come here asking us if we can catch mice!" Bai Jie slammed his fist on the table: "Are you kidding me?"

“Well…aren’t there dogs that catch mice too?” Xu Xian retorted softly.

Bai Jie was speechless: "It's like a dog catching a mouse, meddling in other people's business, isn't it!"

"That's not the point. The point is, if you want to catch mice, go find a cat! Why are you coming here to find us?"

"Give it a try," Xu Xian said, shrugging.

Bai Jie: Believe it or not, I'll let you try and die!

“Um… Bai Jie, actually I can catch mice.” Bi Xie’s words made both Bai Jie and Xu Xian turn their gazes toward him.

Xu Xian: They really know how to catch you? (Unexpected)

Bai Jie: Wow, they really know how to catch people! (Shocked)

Seeing the confusion on the faces of the man and the beast, Bixie explained, "Back when I was in the army, there were always rats gnawing on the granary, and I was responsible for catching them."

Bai Jie: This is truly unexpected, yet perfectly reasonable!

"You served in the army?" Xu Xian asked in surprise.

Bixie nodded without saying much about the past, and Xu Xian didn't ask any further questions, only saying, "Since you can catch mice, then... could you come and help me out?"

"Okay, but not now. Let's wait until tonight." Bixie agreed. This human had been kind to the three brothers, so helping him out was no big deal.

"Alright, I'll head back now." With that, Xu Xian left: Now that we've finished talking, I need to hurry home and keep an eye on things. It's fine if he chews on food, but if he chews on electrical wires or internet cables, then we're doomed.

After Xu Xian left, Bixie turned around and said, "Baijie, we should go out and find Tianlu."

"Okay." Bai Jie responded and climbed onto Bi Xie's back. The two beasts then went out together to search.

As the sun set and dusk fell, the two beasts still couldn't find Tianlu outside. However... when they opened the door at home, they saw that blue figure.

“Bixie, Baijie. Where did you two go before? I didn’t see you when I got home.” Tianlu asked as he approached the two beasts.

"Idiot, I was about to ask you the same thing: why didn't you come home for lunch!"

"Huh? I ate out, Pi Xie."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jie couldn't help but ask, "Tianlu, you don't have any money, how do you eat?"

"Oh... I saw a restaurant holding some kind of eating contest, and they said the first place winner would get a free meal... so I went," Tianlu said timidly.

Bai Jie: ...That shop owner is really unlucky.

Just as Tianlu was worried that Bixie and Baijie would blame him, Bixie reached out and rubbed Tianlu's head with its paw. "Don't do that again next time, understand?"

"Yes, yes, I'll definitely be home on time next time." As she spoke, Tianlu turned her gaze to Baijie.

Bai Jie got off Bi Xie's back and said, "I didn't blame you for anything."

Upon hearing this, Tianlu was overjoyed and rushed forward to hug Baijie tightly. "Hehe, Baijie is the best!"

"Huh?" Bai Jie, being held by Tian Lu, smelled a scent. "Tian Lu, why do you smell like another beast?"

"Huh?" Tianlu was stunned, remembering what had happened before.

"Tianlu, can I touch your fur?"

"No way, why should I let you touch me!"

"Is it really not going to work? I have gold here."

"Um... this... you can only touch it once."

As the recollection ended, Tianlu felt a little guilty, and he suddenly felt like he had let Baijie down.

"No, it's nothing. I just encountered another beast from the Heavenly Court outside."

Tianlu: We shouldn't have eaten all that gold! We should have brought some back! I was too greedy and forgot. What are we going to do now?!

"Oh, I see. Then it's alright."

Tianlu's worries were obviously unnecessary; Baijie didn't find anything wrong.

"Knock knock knock." The conversation between the three beasts was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"It must be Xu Xian. I'll go open the door," Bai Jie said, running towards the door.

"What's he doing here?" Tianlu asked, puzzled.

"Well, it's because I promised to help him catch mice," Bixie explained to Tianlu, who was unaware of the situation.

After a crisp sound of the door opening, the door opened, and Bai Jie released its claws and landed on the ground. "You've come at just the right time. Tian Lu just got back. We can go over and help you catch mice."

"Oh, that's great!" Xu Xian said, opening the door and calling out, "Let's go catch some mice."
