The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Today we won't talk about Bai Jie's story. Today, let's see what Xu Xian is doing.

In a room in a certain apartment complex in a certain city, Xu Xian was sitting in front of his computer playing games and recording footage. That's right, footage. As a second-generation rich kid who got a house after it was demolished, Xu Xian never had to worry about food or clothing. After he encountered a Pixiu more than ten years ago, his wealth increased dramatically, allowing him to achieve complete financial freedom.

After having money, Xu Xian felt a sense of emptiness, as if life had lost its meaning.

"I can't keep going on like this!" After thinking it over, Xu Xian decided to find something to do.

"Hmm... what should I do? Go out and look for a job? Uh... I don't want to do that. How about learning painting or music? Hmm... that's too much trouble." After thinking it over and over, Xu Xian slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Become a live streamer!"

And so, Xu Xian started live streaming and short videos, and you know what? He actually made a name for himself over the past ten years.

In front of the computer, Xu Xian frantically typed on the keyboard, his fingers almost leaving afterimages.

"You tank, why are you charging forward and dodging backward?! Are you expecting me, the marksman, to take the hits?! And mage, are you a master of aiming at the edge? You can't even hit anyone with such a large attack range! By the way, where's the jungler?"

"The jungler went to the enemy jungle."

"Why is he running off to the jungle when there's already a team fight? He could have at least gone to steal a tower!"

Xu Xian unleashed a torrent of profanities. He had been playing well in the first few games of the day, but as soon as he started recording footage, he was inexplicably matched with a bunch of terrible teammates, which completely ruined his mentality.

"You XXXXXXX I XXXXXXX!" While unleashing a barrage of attacks on the enemy heroes, Xu Xian also relentlessly attacked his teammates, achieving a 1v9 feat.

Just then, a gray rat appeared out of nowhere. "Xu Xian!" the rat shrieked. The sound was extremely penetrating, but unfortunately, Xu Xian, who was already a little tipsy, didn't notice it at all.

"Xu Xian! I'm hungry! Go cook some food, do you want me to starve to death!" When Xu Xian didn't respond, the gray rat called out again.

Hmm... still no response.

"You forced me to do this!" The gray rat was furious. He ran to Xu Xian's feet, climbed up the stool, and reached Xu Xian's ear. The gray rat used his paw to rip off Xu Xian's earphones. "Xu Xian! Go and cook for me!"

The sudden sharp sound startled Xu Xian, causing him to lose control and be instantly killed by the enemy jungler's combo.

"Grey Fairy! What are you doing! Can't you see I'm playing a game!"

"I told you to cook! Look at the time! I've gotten so thin from hunger!"

"You, starved to thinness?!" Xu Xian picked up the gray rat on the back of the chair and looked at it. It was greasy, fat, and big-eared, almost as big as a cat. "You're telling me you've starved to thinness? Nobody would believe you! You're so fat you could go without food for days."

"How dare you talk like that! I've just gotten bigger, not fatter!"

"Oh right, right, it's not fat, it's chubby."

"What do you care if I'm fat or chubby? Hurry up and cook, I'm starving!"

Xu Xian rolled his eyes: "Wait until I finish this game."

No sooner had these words been spoken than a loud bang came from the computer. Xu Xian and Hui Xian'er turned their heads simultaneously to see a shattered crystal on the screen. Then, the words "Failure" popped up in large letters, as if mocking something.

Grey Fairy: "Your house exploded!"

Xu Xian: "Shut up!"

Grey Fairy: "Oh, so can you go cook now?"

Xu Xian: "I fucking swear!"

Xu Xian now wished he could strangle this rat: Wasn't his surname Xu and given name Xian? Shouldn't he be destined to be with the White Snake? How did he end up raising such a thing?! I should have fed you to the cat in the first place!

Hmm... This gray rat named Gray Fairy is the very one that Bixie caught back then. Originally, Xu Xian only kept this thing for fun, but as he kept it, the rat inexplicably became a spirit. This made Xu Xian wonder if his house was some kind of sacred cultivation ground: Wait, no, it's the house where Pixiu lived, and there were three of them. Calling it a sacred ground doesn't seem wrong!

As for how the name Grey Fairy came about, well... actually, Xu Xian originally wanted to call him Big Grey, but under the strong protest of the Rat Spirit, he had to change the name. Finally, after thinking it over, Xu Xian had a flash of inspiration: Aren't you a Rat Spirit and grey? Isn't that Grey Fairy? It just so happens that my name also has the character "Fairy" in it, so it's a lineage! It's decided, you will be called Grey Fairy.

And so, the name "Rat Spirit" was decided.

Back to the present, Xu Xian and Hui Xian'er are still arguing: "You damn rat, if it weren't for you getting me killed, how could I have lost so quickly! No, I have to play another round!"

"You want to starve to death? I don't want to starve to death! Go cook something, or I'll chew up your internet cable!"

"You always use the same trick! Can't you come up with something new?"

"Then I'll just chew up your computer case!"

"If you're so awesome, why don't you go chew on electrical wires!"

"I'm afraid of getting electrocuted!"

Xu Xian: Damn it, this rat is pretty clever!

After Xu Xian'er's plan to continue playing games after being stunned by the electric shock failed, he tried a new tactic: "Can't you cook for yourself? It's not like you can't transform into human form."

"Transform! Transform into human form!" Gray Fairy's lips twitched. "I won't transform! I'd rather die than transform!"

"Uh..." Xu Xian patted his head: I forgot, this rat's transformation technique is not good, the human form it transforms into is really ugly.

"Alright, alright, I'll go make it for you." Xu Xian sighed, stood up, and walked towards the kitchen: How did I end up raising such a spoiled brat?!

Upon arriving in the kitchen, Xu Xian skillfully handled the oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. Even though he was a homebody, he was a homebody with maxed-out life skills.

He turned on the fire, heated the oil, stir-fried, and sprinkled salt—his actions were fluid and efficient. After a while, Xu Xian put the lid on the pot: "Now just wait for it to cook."

Just as Xu Xian was about to prepare the next dish, he suddenly heard a squeaking sound.

Xu Xian stopped moving; he had a bad feeling.

Following the sound, Xu Xian arrived in front of the rice bag, sweat beading on his forehead: "No way?!"

Swallowing hard, Xu Xian, clinging to a sliver of hope, opened the rice bag, and then…

An angry roar echoed from the kitchen: "Grey Fairy!!"

"Eh?!" Gray Fairy, who was using a hamster wheel to lose weight out of boredom, was startled by the sudden shout and fell off.

"Are you crazy? Why are you yelling all of a sudden?!"

"Come on, don't worry about what's wrong with me, explain to me what this is first!" Xu Xian walked out of the kitchen carrying a mouse.

"Ah, ah, this..." Looking at the rat Xu Xian was carrying, Hui Xian'er froze: Oh no, why is he here?!

"I'm telling you!" Xu Xian angrily pointed at Hui Xian'er, "It's one thing to flirt with female mice outside, but can you please stop bringing them home all the time! If you keep doing this, I might just go out and bring a cat home to keep as a pet!"

"Hey, hey, don't be like this! It wasn't me who brought him in, he came here by himself!" Grey Fairy was very flustered. He couldn't beat a cat. If he really adopted a cat, he would become food sooner or later!

"I don't care about that, just don't let me see any other rats in this room besides you again!" Xu Xian said fiercely.

"Well, alright then." Feeling guilty, Gray Fairy shrank back and reluctantly agreed, but he was still a little unwilling and couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Tch! You single dog are just jealous of my many wives and concubines."

Xu, who overheard this, retorted: "What business is it of yours whether I'm single or not! Mind your own business! Your wife ruined a whole bag of rice, what are you going to do about it?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? He, he is clearly my son."

"What?! You said he is what to you?!" Xu Xian couldn't wait any longer; he wondered if he had misheard.

"He is my son."

"What the hell!" Xu Xian's mentality completely collapsed: Why is it that this stinking rat not only has a bunch of wives and concubines but also a son, while I, a high-quality man with a car, a house, and good looks, am still single! This is not fair!

"Hey! Put my son down right now, he's rolling his eyes!"

The little mouse that Xu Xian was holding in his hand was rolling its eyes because Xu Xian was unconsciously tightening his grip due to his emotional excitement, looking like it was about to die at any moment.

"Calm down, calm down." Xu Xian took a deep breath and loosened his grip. He was about to say something when he suddenly heard a sizzling sound from the kitchen.

"Damn it! I was so busy bickering with you that the food burned!" Xu Xian threw the mouse in his hand onto the sofa and rushed back to the kitchen.

"You'd better be gentle, or you'll hurt my son!" Hui Xian'er yelled at Xu Xian, who rushed back to the kitchen, but clearly, Xu Xian didn't have time to pay attention to her.

A few minutes later, Xu Xian, Hui Xian'er, and Hui Xian'er's son sat together at the dining table, on which was a plate of burnt food.

"You two are rats, only good for eating leftovers. Why don't you two finish this dish?" Xu Xian tried to shift the responsibility of eliminating this unknown thing onto Hui Xian.

"Why should I eat this?! Even a dog wouldn't eat this stuff!"

"But you're not dogs, you're rats."

"I'm not eating it anyway!"

"Click, click, click."

Just as Xu Xian and Hui Xian'er were bickering as usual, they suddenly heard a strange noise. The two looked over at the same time and saw that Hui Xian'er's son had climbed up to the dish and started eating.

Seeing this, Xu Xian scoffed, "Ah, right, even dogs won't eat it, but your son will."

Hui Xian'er awkwardly went up to her son and pulled him, "Hey son, don't eat this kind of thing. Dad will take you to eat something good later."

"Squeak squeak squeak!" Gray Fairy's son showed no respect for his father at all. In fact, if Gray Fairy pulled too hard, he would turn around and bite Gray Fairy a couple of times.

(Hmm...he has the potential to be a very filial son)

"Hey! You unfilial son, you dare to bite your old man!" After being bitten twice, Grey Fairy subconsciously pulled her paw back.

"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Seeing this scene of fatherly love and filial piety, Xu Xian laughed out loud in a shameless way.

In the end, the dish was not finished and Xu Xian took it and threw it away.

"I say, shouldn't it be time to send your son away now?" Xu Xian looked at Hui Xian'er and his son expressionlessly.

"Why does what you said sound so ominous, young master?"

"What do you care whether my words are auspicious or not? Now, right now, take your son and get out of here. You can come back when you've sent him away!" Xu Xian pointed to the door.

"Alright, alright, I'll go then." Gray Fairy muttered to herself as she led her son out the door.

(Hmm... I've gone to find the mother of my child.)
