The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

A cold wind blew in the sky, and the First Qilin found a cloud.

He leaned forward and took a bite, then collapsed.

"Wow~ So icy! But so delicious!"

The cloud dew is rich in spiritual energy, and its quality is comparable to the immortal dew that the ancient Qilin ate.

But in this cold weather, won't eating something so cold give you diarrhea?

Forget it, I'll just eat and let it happen.

The First Qilin leaped into the cloud and devoured it greedily. The cloud rapidly shrank in size until it was only half its original size. He then used magic to bind it together and send it flying downwards.

The Caiyun Mountains were dyed white, the water was frozen, and the tree branches were piled with snow.

The Qilin ate as it hung, its internal physiology extremely active, absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy from the outside world.

"The environment is so nice, and the dew is delicious too. Hmm... why don't I bring my wife and kids here to live in seclusion?"

When Shi Qilin thought of the thin spiritual energy in Kyoto and compared it with this place, he suddenly didn't want to leave.

"Speaking of which, isn't the spiritual energy here a bit too concentrated? Even famous mountains and rivers aren't this outrageous. Even if divine beasts gather here, it shouldn't be this bad, right?"

As his thoughts wandered, the Qilin began to fly aimlessly at low altitude.

Behind a large tree not far away, a black bear spirit peeked out and squinted at them.

Suddenly, he raised his bear paw and rubbed his eyes.

"What is that? Is it a deer? Never mind, I can't see it clearly."

"Gululu,"

The bear's stomach rumbled at an inopportune moment, and it quickly withdrew its head.

The First Qilin glanced at them strangely, then continued flying forward on its own.

"Whoo~"

The black bear spirit hiding behind the tree breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but complain inwardly.

That damn leopard is such a nuisance! It woke me up to fight in the dead of winter and didn't even give me any food!

Once my cultivation level is higher, I'll see how I deal with you!

This black bear spirit was none other than the one that had tried to attack Bai Jie but was nearly killed by the Heavenly Dao.

He was hibernating, but was forcibly pulled up by the Leopard King.

A group of monsters sharpened their knives, preparing to take revenge on the group of mischievous children.

However, this revenge mission doesn't include meals, so he's currently searching for food.

"This deer is a bit small..."

"Well, it's good enough to find prey in the dead of winter. But why does this thing look like it's flying? Uh, I must be seeing things."

The Black Bear Spirit, through what he considered perfect stealth, circled around to the front of the Primordial Qilin.

As the Qilin approached, he suddenly leaped out!

"Hey! This mountain is mine, these trees are mine! If you want to pass, leave your life behind!"

The black bear demon held aloft a dead tree stump it had picked up from somewhere, its expression ferocious, its fierce eyes fixed on its prey...

"boom!"

Upon getting a closer look at the beast in front of him, the black bear spirit flicked its paw and the withered tree stump fell to the ground.

Soaring through the clouds! And it even has horns! A mythical beast!

The black bear spirit was in a terrible state, and couldn't help but recall the last time he was struck by lightning and pierced by stones.

"You're trying to rob me? No, you're trying to eat me?"

The Qilin looked up at the Black Bear Spirit without any fear, and even asked questions while eating.

The black bear spirit instinctively took a step back, wanting to turn and run away, but a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and a wise light shone in his eyes.

No, that's not right. What am I afraid of?

The creature in front of me was neither the blue Pixiu that could grow larger, nor the golden Pixiu that could summon lightning.

I look like a little kid, but even if I'm pretending to be weak while actually being strong, I'm not going to be taken advantage of!

At worst, I'll just kneel down and beg for mercy! This guy seems like a vegetarian; he probably won't eat me.

With this thought in mind, the black bear spirit's expression turned fierce again. To boost his aura, he picked up a dead tree stump and raised it above his head.

"Don't want to leave your life? Fine, then hand over whatever treasures you have right now! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

"This is something to be offered to the King! If you anger the King, be careful, or he might use you as a vessel to rape and kill you, rape and kill you again!"

"What!?"

The Qilin was greatly alarmed and retreated three meters away.

"I am a married man! Your king has such tastes!"

"Hmph, scared now?"

The black bear spirit raised its chin.

That way, even if we really can't afford to offend them, we can use the King as a shield. I'm so clever!

and many more!

He was suddenly startled.

A married man? Damn! I haven't even found a wife yet, and this little brat has!

As the black bear spirit's expression shifted, Shi Qilin retreated little by little.

He hadn't expected the monsters of Caiyun Mountain to be so ferocious. Despite his high cultivation level and strong luck, he still hesitated.

What if? What if something unexpected happens? If something really does happen, how am I supposed to explain it to my wife?!

"Hmph? Trying to run away?"

The black bear spirit narrowed its eyes as it saw the Qilin retreat.

It seems this guy is really not that great.

A surge of confidence welled up within him, and he strode forward, his flabby body trembling with an overwhelming sense of pressure.

"You're not leaving today without leaving something behind!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black bear demon grabbed at the Qilin, but the next second!

"Ah fight!"

A white shadow flashed by, and the black bear demon felt a sharp pain in his cheek as a tremendous force struck.

The dead tree stump flew out of his hand, and he staggered, crashing headfirst into a nearby tree and falling down.

When his buzzing head cleared, he saw the withered tree stump that had slipped from his grasp growing larger and larger in front of him.

The next second, everything went dark.

"That solves it?"

A white figure landed; it was Little Sparrow. He looked at the Black Bear Spirit in surprise, not understanding how his simple kick had resulted in this.

"Wang Wang."

A dog barked, and the little tit turned around to see a straw dog emerge from the grass, its body covered in snowflakes.

"Oh dear, the dog is too slow."

"Little titmouse, you're running too fast, I can't catch up! Why did you suddenly speed up?"

"The Qilin here is also in danger, so we came to help."

After saying this, the little sparrow looked at the First Qilin.

"Hello, my name is Little Sparrow, and I am the mountain god of this area."

"I am the First Qilin, hello duck."

Knowing that the white cat was the mountain god, Shi Qilin pulled him along to learn about the situation of this mountain range.

Since the patrol mission was basically completed, the little sparrow did not refuse. Moreover, as a mythical beast of good fortune, it would be beneficial for the Qilin to come and live in the mountains. Besides, it might even boost his performance.

Therefore, the little titmouse spared no effort in promoting the Caiyun Mountains.

Shi Qilin became increasingly tempted and no longer wanted to search.

He inquired about why the spiritual energy here was so abundant, but the little sparrow didn't know either. He only knew that this situation had only started to occur in the last ten years or so.

"Why don't you ask Brother Di Ting? He knows everything."

Hearing this, the straw dog suddenly raised its paw.

The little titmouse was taken aback upon hearing this.

You mean that big black dog?

"Him? He really is something. Hey, I'll go find him then!"

The First Qilin felt this was feasible and clapped its paws, somewhat excited.

The three beasts chatted for a few more minutes before going their separate ways.

When the Qilin returned to the village, it inquired about Di Ting's residence from the old goat and then rode a cloud there.

Di Ting was in an open space on the edge of the village. His RV was parked there, and several ghost assistants were floating around nearby.

The Qilin jumped off the auspicious cloud, entered the RV, and found Di Ting.

"Well, I'm not entirely sure about that either. Let's ask the Earth."

Upon learning of the Qilin's purpose, Di Ting spoke without much hesitation.

The First Qilin nodded, and then he saw Di Ting prostrate himself in front of him.

"Hey, hey, hey! Little Di Ting, what are you doing? Even if I like taking in sons, you don't have to perform such a grand ceremony!"

"If you want, I'm your daddy right now. By the way, you're still single, right? Need me to introduce you to someone?"

"Uh...no need, that's not what I meant, please don't joke around."

When the spellcasting of the book was interrupted for the first time, he could only smile wryly.

You know perfectly well that this is how I asked the earth.

The spellcasting restarts.

"Earth, Earth—what's causing these environmental changes in the Caiyun Mountains?"

Not long after, Di Ting got up with a strange expression.

"How's it going? Did you get the answer?"

The Qilin excitedly stepped forward.

"We got the answer by asking...and the truth is...she did it herself..."

"Huh? Huh! Why, why what? We can't just alter the earth's veins for no reason, can we?"

Di Ting's expression was complicated upon hearing this, and he remained silent for a while before speaking.

"Uh... because Bai Jie has settled here."

"Uh-huh?!"

The First Qilin opened its mouth wide.

He knows Bai Jie; many anime and games are produced by his company.

But isn't he just a Pixiu? Even I don't get this kind of treatment!

"Why does Heaven and Earth favor him so much? Is there some secret? Tell me quickly. And what's the deal with that little Pixiu I've never heard of before?"

"Uh...this involves other people's privacy, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Di Ting was in a bit of a dilemma.

"Oh dear, Little Di Ting, don't worry about those details. I wouldn't hurt him. Besides, I'm very tight-lipped and I promise I won't say anything."

The Qilin jumped up and hung on Di Ting's neck, shamelessly acting cute on the spot.

Once this move was made, Di Ting couldn't withstand it.

How old are you, still acting like a child towards me?

Ultimately, Di Ting had no choice but to agree. Of course, he was still mindful of his words and wouldn't blurt out everything like Xiao Ze.

After a long narration, the First Qilin rested its chin on its hand, its eyes shining with the gleam of a beast trader.

"Uh... what kind of look is that? What do you want?"

"Such a cute little guy, of course I'd like to get to know him."

The First Qilin's lips curled into a strange smile, revealing an expectant expression.

"Hehe, although its cultivation level is a bit low, it is favored by heaven and earth. What kind of Qilin will hatch if it hatches from the egg?"

"Oh, right!"

Suddenly, Shi Qilin remembered something.

"Little Di Ting, would you like to hatch an egg? Maybe you can hatch a super rare Qilin!"

"Uh, no need."

Di Ting, ashamed, stepped back.

"Oh, I'll give it a try. I'm too old and frail to hatch them all."

As he spoke, Shi Qilin's voice choked with emotion.

"There are a lot of mythical creatures in the crew, so don't worry, they will all help you hatch the eggs."

Despite his earnest attempts to persuade him, Shi Qilin left the RV with regret.

Not long after he left, he received a call from Puss in Boots.

"Hey, I'm done here. Sorry I don't have time to pick you up. Come sit down here."

"Hey, good."
