The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

"What is all this nonsense?!" Tianlu was also on the verge of a breakdown as he looked at the messages flying around on his phone.

Not to mention Bixie, even his usually expressionless face couldn't hold up anymore, and his skin started twitching.

The three Qilins were also nearby, looking at each other in bewilderment. The First Qilin muttered to himself, "Why isn't my eldest son's?" but the Jade Qilin covered his mouth and dragged him out of the room.

"Oh dear, let's not get involved in the children's affairs."

After the two elders left, the tense atmosphere in the room eased noticeably.

Si Bu Xiang tried to comfort them, "It's okay, what they said is basically true. Just explain the part about laying eggs clearly."

The three brothers all trembled.

Tianlu roared furiously as if he'd been electrocuted, "Shut up!"

Bai Jie remained silent, covered his face with a pillow, and collapsed onto the bed.

Bixie took two deep breaths and said through gritted teeth in a tactful tone, "Sibuxiang, don't speak yet,"

After such a low-EQ remark, the three Pixiu not only failed to recover, but became even more defensive.

Si Bu Xiang shrank back and muttered, "But I'm telling the truth."

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!!" A certain girl, who had truly transformed into a demon, suddenly burst into a scream, still caught in the rumors!

He writhed and rolled around in his pillow like a maggot, his face hidden under the pillow displaying a variety of expressions, making it impossible to tell whether he was crying or laughing, and his shame was almost overflowing!

Seeing this, the three older brothers hurriedly went up to comfort Bai Jie in turn, but it was clear that none of them were very emotionally intelligent. Bi Xie immediately said, "Don't cry, don't be shy," and Tian Lu and Si Bu Xiang made Bai Jie's mentality even more broken after just a few words!

Shortly after, the three brothers, who were at the center of the controversy, each posted a clarification on their WeChat Moments. Members of the film crew's group chat, whether they genuinely believed the rumors or were just curious, all clicked to check.

The message was long, and the numerous exclamation marks indicated that all three were very agitated. The gist of it was that all the rumors circulating were false! They were all baseless misinformation! Don't believe them!

Tianlu added a line at the end, saying that if he found out who spread the rumors, he would eat them alive, followed by an angry emoji.

After reading it, the group members collectively expressed their understanding, saying that it was indeed too outrageous and must be a rumor. Then, in the blink of an eye, 99+ private messages came flooding in!

When asked if the rumors were true, they said they needed to maintain a good public image, but could they reveal the truth in private? The three brothers had just breathed a sigh of relief when they saw these things, and their mental state collapsed again!

……

At the film set, Zhu Zi huddled in a corner, shivering, making the panda look even smaller.

"It's over, it's over, I'm doomed!"

His eyes were filled with despair, and his hands trembled as he plucked the bamboo from his back and began to carve words on it, writing his will.

Suddenly, a boxed lunch was handed to him. He looked up in a daze and saw Puss in Boots' face.

As the sun set, painting the sky a deep crimson, Zhu Zi heard her own voice tremble as she asked, "Director? Aren't you scared?"

With his back to the setting sun, Puss in Boots gave a bitter smile, a sense of desolation welling up within him. "Before I die... I want to treat myself well..."

"I said you two have had enough!" Xiaohang rolled his eyes as he watched from the side.

I don't know how much of their emotion was genuine and how much was acting. Such a poignant scene could probably be included in textbooks. People who don't know the situation might think something had happened between them.

"If you two hadn't been so good at talking, would things have turned out like this? Look! It's all over the internet!" He took out his phone and pointed to the various shocking search terms that appeared on the screen, looking at them with a look of utter disappointment.

Puss in Boots and Bamboo leaned closer to take a look, and their cerebellums seemed to shrink slightly.

The Pixiu brothers didn't collapse because of this shocking revenge story; on the contrary, their fans online seem to be getting excited!

The official website, Weibo, and accounts on various platforms of the Beast Demon are filled with posts about it, with some even asking if they can adopt multiple offspring of the little Pixiu.

Xiaohang casually flipped through the pages, and another erotic drawing of three brothers appeared below, drawn by an unknown person.

Bai Jie's face was flushed, and he collapsed onto the bed, clutching his stomach. Beneath him were two eggs that had clearly just been laid, while Tian Lu and Bi Xie each held one and watched nervously from the side.

The caption below the picture reads: "Don't worry about whose child it is, everyone has a share!"

Bamboo and Puss in Boots were deeply shocked when they saw this picture.

"Where did you find this picture?!" Puss in Boots looked at Xiaohang with a strange expression. He never expected that Xiaohang would be such a producer!

"What are you thinking! This picture is all over the internet, you can find it with a simple search!" Xiaohang knew that the black cat was up to no good as soon as she saw the change in the cat's eyes.

Puss in Boots quickly looked away to avoid revealing his thoughts.

……

Fans of the beasts are increasingly shipping the three brothers and other characters, uncovering rumors about them from unknown sources.

Despite the official Beastmaster team's prompt clarification, fans said, "You can clarify, we'll continue our ship," and enthusiastically produced a whole bunch of fanfiction.

……

Inside the Qilin Cave, Tianlu and Bixie lay sprawled on the sofa, utterly despondent, a faint sense of death emanating from them, as if they were just waiting for a final round: "I'm tired, let's destroy it."

Si Buxiang looked at his two younger brothers with concern, his lips moved slightly, and he hesitated before saying, "Little Blue Circle and Little Plum Blossom, are you alright? Also, Little Sun hasn't left his bedroom all day. Shouldn't we go and try to persuade him?"

He was supposed to leave that day, but his parents persuaded him to stay a couple more days to take care of his three younger brothers who weren't feeling well, so he simply applied for leave.

After hearing his words, Tianlu and Bixie looked at him with their lifeless eyes. The Four-Faced Beast was so frightened that it took a step back.

Meanwhile, inside the three brothers' room...

A small bulge appeared on the bed, the only light coming from the phone screen in the pitch-black blankets, making Bai Jie's rapid breathing particularly noticeable. He swallowed hard, his throat bobbing. The phone screen prominently displayed the messages written by fans for the three brothers.

……

For three consecutive days, the Pixiu brothers stayed inside the cave, not venturing out even once. Partly, Bai Jie hadn't yet completed his horn-changing period, and if he went out and something went wrong, the horn shape would change, causing a lot of trouble. Partly, they simply didn't want to face the strange looks from outsiders.

However desperate the situation may seem, life still goes on even if you grit your teeth and keep going.

That morning, Si Bu Xiang accompanied the three brothers to the school. The three brothers walked in with their heads down, trying to minimize their presence. Although most people didn't notice them, they felt that everyone was watching them.

The four creatures watched the three beasts disappear into the school gate, and then dawdled as they rode their auspicious cloud back home.

Uncle Fenghuang came to the film set today. If Dad runs into him...

Thinking of this, he slowed down a bit, and a little kid on a bicycle nimbly overtook him.

Returning to the perspective of the Pixiu brothers, the students in the classroom were whispering among themselves, their eyes occasionally glancing at the three Pixiu in the back row.

They sat quietly in their seats, heads bowed.

Not only that, but even the usually lively Walnut and Moon Sky were silent, for no other reason than that the rumors about the three brothers had spread throughout the class, and it was they who let it slip.

"They disappeared for three days, could they have gone to have a baby?"

Someone in the classroom muttered something, and the three brothers, who had been keeping their heads down, finally... stopped.

……

"Hey! Aren't these the three Pixiu brothers who've been all the rage lately? You've been gone for three days and you're back?" A very arrogant voice rang out. Qiong Xiaoqi stood up from his seat, and Tao Xiaowu and Xiao Taotao were all startled and frantically tried to wink at each other.

However, their actions were like throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind man. How could Qiong Xiaoqi possibly let go of such a good opportunity to mock him?

He said with a grin, "I really didn't expect the three of you to be so playful. Although Teacher Xie definitely won't allow it, I still support you. I wish you a happy birthday..."

"Shut up!!" Three loud shouts interrupted his next words.

Qiong Xiaoqi paused for a moment, but seeing the three brothers' unfriendly gazes only fueled his enthusiasm.

The classroom suddenly fell silent, and the students stopped talking and stared at us with a hint of nervousness.

Qiong Xiaoqi raised his head, wanting to say something, but suddenly a figure was reflected in his eyes, and the words he was about to say got stuck in his throat, and his pupils dilated.

Seeing him suddenly retreat, Tianlu assumed he was scared off by his three beasts and let out a defiant snort. But then, a familiar cough came from behind.

"Cough cough."

The three brothers froze abruptly, then slowly turned around. Sunlight streamed in through the window, and the mythical beast, its back to the light, looked down at the three troubled students.

Pi Xie instinctively avoided eye contact, his expression extremely unnatural. "Uh... those are all rumors, fake, so we don't need to have an ethics lesson, right?"

When this was mentioned, Bai Jie recalled her poor grades and couldn't help but shrink back guiltily.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment before the Xie Zhi nodded, and the three brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Class is about to begin, everyone back to your seats." The Xie Zhi walked towards the podium, casually glancing at a guy blocking the aisle.

Qiong Xiaoqi suddenly jolted awake, and in his panic, he slipped and scrambled back to his seat.

"Final exams are coming up soon, so we had a quiz today."
