The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

the other side,

Bai Jie and Shi Qilin were studying the new script that Puss in Boots had asked Yue Tian to bring up the mountain. Bai Jie couldn't help but sigh as he watched Tian Lu put the Qilin egg in the oven and then throw it into the fire.

"That's something Tianlu would do."

Upon hearing this, the First Qilin looked surprised.

"Is Xiao Tianlu really that ferocious? He doesn't seem like it."

"You have to believe that he's capable of doing something like this, given his thought process. It's not that he's cruel; he genuinely believes that this will solve the problem."

Bai Jie turned a page, looking for his part, when suddenly two exclamations rang out from not far away.

"Second-in-command, what are you doing?!"

"Tianlu, wait a minute!"

Upon hearing this, the two beasts instinctively turned their heads to look, only to see a large pot being set up with flames burning underneath, and Tianlu throwing the Qilin egg into the pot filled with water!

"Holy crap, does it really work this fast?!"

As Bai Jie shouted in shock, Shi Qilin flew out like a whirlwind. Before Bixie and Yue Tian could rush to save the Qilin egg from falling into the water, he was the first to reach it.

The large pot was overturned, spilling water, and the Qilin egg also flew into the air. The Qilin stepped on auspicious clouds and suddenly rushed upward to catch the egg, then quickly landed.

Phew~ thank goodness, the water hasn't boiled yet, and my son hasn't turned into a boiled egg!

After a thorough inspection, Shi Qilin finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could completely relax, he suddenly heard Bixie's exclamation once again.

"Father, be careful!"

"Hey?"

As soon as Shi Qilin looked up, a huge cauldron spun down from the sky and slammed him inside. Tianlu, Bixie, Baijie, and Yuetian were all shocked!

"Father!!"

Shortly after……

"You unfilial son! You unfilial son! Ouch~ Ah~"

Shi Qilin gasped for breath, a bump on his head from being hit. Tianlu stood awkwardly by his side, serving him without daring to complain. Baijie and Bixie stood by with expressions that said, "You deserve it." Yuetian, on the other hand, forced a straight face and remained expressionless.

suddenly,

The egg in the Qilin's arms shook twice, instantly attracting everyone's attention. The egg shook again, and several cracks appeared on it. Under the gaze of five eyes, a small head broke out of the shell.

In an instant, spiritual energy surged forth, and countless auspicious energies, invisible to the naked eye, swirled around it. The white clouds in the sky were painted in vibrant colors, and the earth's veins trembled. All of this was a celebration of the little Qilin's birth.

"Strange phenomena in the heavens and earth?"

The First Qilin was quite surprised. In the past, the heavens and earth had never reacted this way when the child was born. The only unusual thing this time, after thinking it over, was Xiao Baijie.

At this moment, the little Qilin completely emerged from the eggshell. His fur was as black as ink, with golden stripes. The first Qilin picked up his newborn son and discovered that he had nine star-shaped birthmarks on his belly.

"Nine-Star Qilin Black Gold Edition, and even a celestial phenomenon! As expected of a Pixiu, it truly produces top-quality items! Little Baijie, you deserve the most credit for this celestial phenomenon. I'll provide plenty of gold and silver treasures for you, Father!"

Bai Jie, who had just recovered from the scene, was stunned.

The strange celestial phenomena are related to me? There wasn't such a commotion when I was born. But it seems there's no other reason besides me. Could it be a case of grandparents showing special favoritism? Have I fallen out of favor?

While Bai Jie was lost in thought, Shi Qilin held the little black-gold Qilin under its armpits and looked at it. Tianlu, Bixie, and Yuetian also curiously came over.

"It's a boy, what a pity."

The Qilin smacked its lips.

Tianlu was puzzled.

"Why is it a pity to waste a boy? Is there a problem, Father?"

Yue Tian suddenly remembered Huang Jiu, who had been forced to wear women's clothing by Huang's parents.

"Do you have too many sons and want a daughter?"

The First Qilin shook its head.

"Not because of this."

Hearing the conversation between the three beasts, Bai Jie stopped his wandering thoughts and curiously came over to ask.

"Why is that? Hey, why are you looking at me like that?"

Bai Jie suddenly felt something was wrong.

"If it's a girl, I was thinking of arranging a marriage for you when you were little. Hmm... By the way, would you mind if it's a boy?"

The air suddenly went quiet. Bai Jie silently retreated, then retreated again, and still felt unsafe, so he continued to retreat until he was three meters away. Only then did he stop and ask in surprise.

"Why the sudden talk of arranging a marriage between children?! And what do you mean by asking if I mind if it's a boy?!"

The First Qilin tilted its head, its face full of innocence.

"Since Xiaobaijie is in such good condition, we should keep it in the family. As for the boys... well... divine beasts have long lifespans and don't have a high need for reproduction."

So, same-sex love is true love, and opposite-sex love is just for procreation, right? You're really open-minded, Dad!

"Then why were you only assigned to me? What about the other three?!"

Bai Jie pointed at Tianlu, Bixie, and Yuetian, and the three beasts looked completely bewildered. Shi Qilin then shifted his gaze to look over.

"Sure, but I have few daughters and they're all married, so I only have sons left. Can I introduce you to a few?"

"I'm too young to think about such things. I'll think about it when I'm older."

Yue Tian said decisively.

"No need. Love is too illusory; brotherhood is more reliable."

Bixie Zhengse nodded in agreement.

So this is your reason for being single for tens of thousands of years?! If it weren't for the intervention of Heaven, this brotherhood would probably have turned sour long ago!

Bai Jie internally ranted, but when Shi Qilin looked at him again, he refused without hesitation.

"I'm still young, let's talk about it later."

So the matter was left unresolved, and Shi Qilin regretfully prepared to wait for another opportunity.

Not long after, Puss in Boots called to inform them that the other three eggs had also hatched. Upon hearing the news, the three Pixiu and Yue Tian rode on the auspicious cloud of the First Qilin and rushed over.

Inside a small house in Caiyun Village, four little Qilins were lined up on the table: Puss in Boots, Xiaohang, Phoenix, Rabbit, and Qilin. The First Qilin looked them over and looked regretful.

"They're all boys, what a pity."

Bai Jie's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

Why are you still thinking about this? We agreed to talk about it later!

"They hatched so quickly! We can start filming this scene tomorrow!"

Puss in Boots didn't expect things to go so smoothly; she had thought it would take a few days.

A group of beasts teased the newborn Qilin for a while before leaving. Three of the four little ones were taken back by the Primordial Qilin, while the one hatched by the Phoenix was taken away by him. He had a very bright smile on his face at that time.

The next day,

Monday,

Shi Qilin arrived at the filming location with her three children. The staff were busy, and the cameras were set up. Puss in Boots walked around checking and, upon hearing Shi Qilin's voice, called out to her.

Upon hearing this, the Qilin immediately flew over, and filming began shortly afterward, with the entire crew proceeding according to plan.

The filming of the first Qilin took place in two segments: one where he went to a deer shop to incubate an egg, and another where he went to a phoenix shop to incubate an egg. There was a break in between, and filming ended in the afternoon.

"Little Tianlu, what's wrong?"

Shi Qilin stared blankly at Tianlu, who was clinging to his leg. After hearing that his scenes were finished, this newly adopted son inexplicably ran over crying and wouldn't let go of him.

"Abba~"

Tianlu's voice choked with sobs, and tears streamed down his face.

"I don't want you to leave!"

"what?"

Shi Qilin was even more bewildered. Xiao Tianlu had only been his son for less than three days, and their bond was already that deep?

Suddenly he felt a pull, and when he turned around, he saw Bai Jie who had come with Tian Lu.

"Um... let me translate for you, he probably can't bear to part with his gold and silver treasures."

Tianlu's sobbing stopped abruptly, then he raised his voice and cried even louder.

Shi Qilin was both amused and exasperated. He picked up Tianlu and patted his back to comfort him.

"Alright, little Tianlu, your father isn't leaving. Your father will stay and keep you company."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianlu suddenly stopped talking and looked up, looking bewildered. Baijie was even more surprised and blurted out.

"Not leaving? Why?"

The First Qilin winked mischievously.

"Because the environment here is so beautiful, I don't want to leave. I'll bring my wife here to live in seclusion together, and..."

At this point, Shi Qilin deliberately dragged out his words, then looked at Bai Jie with a maternal smile.

"The New Year is just a few months away. When your sons come home, introduce Xiao Bai Jie to them."

Under the benevolent gaze of the First Qilin, Bai Jie couldn't help but take a step back.

This is unacceptable! And why are you pressuring a young kid like me to get married? Go ahead and pressure Tianlu and Bixie, those two old mythical beasts!

and many more!

Bai Jie suddenly discovered a blind spot.

The sons of the First Qilin... does that mean the Four-Faced Beast will come too? Uh... what should I do if I suddenly start to look forward to it?

Ultimately, thanks to Bai Jie's stalling tactics, this extremely unfavorable topic was glossed over. Shi Qilin regretfully changed the subject, saying that he would be staying not far from Pixiu's house, and the three brothers naturally had no objections.

that night,

The sky was full of stars.

The dream world is colorful, and Walnut shuttles among the dream bubbles. Soon, he found his goal: the dream of a hundred solutions.

This dream bubble contains many cartoon images of mythical beasts. Walnut saw his own, Bai Jie's two older brothers', Xiao Qi, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Tao Tao's, and many others he didn't recognize.

I wonder what Bai Jie is dreaming about?

Filled with curiosity, Walnut opened the dream portal and went inside.
