The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Following Xiaohang to the hotel, at Tianlu's insistence, they were assigned a double room with a king-size bed.

Upon entering the room, Tianlu collapsed onto the large bed. "Baijie, this bed is so big and comfortable!"

"Hmm, it's really comfortable." Bai Jie also climbed onto the bed, squinting his eyes and sprawling on the soft mattress, thinking about whether the house should be furnished with new furniture.

The three brothers' house was built more than ten years ago, and the furniture was also bought more than ten years ago. Now it is dilapidated, especially the dining table. Tianlu chewed off one of the table legs and now they are propping it up with bricks. Don't ask why Tianlu chewed the table leg. The answer is that lunch was cooked a little late and he was hungry.

"Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring".

Just as Bai Jie was thinking about his home renovation plans, his phone suddenly rang.

"Hello," Bai Jie answered the phone.

"Bai Jie, why haven't you and Tian Lu come back yet? I've already prepared the meal." Bi Xie's voice came from the phone.

"The crew just finished work here, and it's too late to go back. Bixie, you go ahead and eat, don't wait for us."

Bixie remained silent. After glancing at the now-cold chicken and mushroom stew on the table, he said, "Baijie, I'll pick you up tomorrow."

"Huh?" Bai Jie was momentarily stunned by Bixie's sudden change of topic. Then, he realized what he meant and said, "Oh, are you taking us home? Sure, what time is Bixie coming tomorrow?"

"It'll be lunchtime, and I'll bring you some food while I'm at it."

I don't know if the word "food" triggered some strange mechanism, but Tianlu suddenly came over.

"Is Bixie bringing food tomorrow? I want to eat chicken stew with mushrooms."

“Okay.” Bixie agreed; he had originally planned to bring this along as well.

"Yay! This is the best for me!"

"Stop being so mushy. Tell me what else you want to eat, and I'll make it tomorrow."

After chatting for a while, the call ended, and Tianlu yawned, "Ah~ I'm so sleepy."

"Then go to sleep quickly." Bai Jie patted Tian Lu and said. Tian Lu was really exhausted today. First, there were the high-difficulty action scenes in the morning, and then he ran all over the city with the crew in the afternoon. It's normal for him to be sleepy.

"Waaah, I want to sleep with Bai Jie in my arms."

"Whatever." Bai Jie rolled her eyes: It's not like you don't cuddle with me when you sleep at home.

Tianlu leaned closer and hugged Baijie. The two beasts embraced and gradually fell asleep.

On the other side, Bixie, a beast, lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling: it felt so strange not having its younger brother by its side.

Bixie stretched out its paw and touched the side, but found nothing.

"I should have gone with them."

The next day, early morning.

The crew of animals were having breakfast on the first floor of the hotel. The camera zoomed in on one table, where the two movie stars, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, as well as the director and producer, were all sitting.

"Director, what's the schedule for today?" Rabbit asked while eating a carrot from his plate.

"Today's filming will mostly be against a green screen; the beasts have already gone to prepare." With that, Puss in Boots stuffed two dried fish into his mouth, chewing as he asked, "Where are Bai Jie and Pipi? I haven't seen them."

"I don't know." x4

After the four actors said they didn't know, the five beasts' gazes all fell on the producer, Xiaohang.

Xiaohang: You guys don't know, but I do?!

"We're here," Tianlu's voice suddenly came from the stairwell.

All the beasts at the table looked over at the same time and saw Tianlu coming down with Baijie.

"Why did it take you so long to arrive?" Golden Horn asked.

"Ah, Bai Jie didn't get enough rest last night." Tianlu looked at Bai Jie, who was still rubbing his eyes beside him.

"Ah~ I'm sorry." Bai Jie was still a little out of it, the aftereffects of being too excited and having a disordered sleep schedule these past two days were kicking in.

"Why don't you go back to sleep for a while? There's nothing for you to do today," Puss in Boots asked.

"No need, it'll be fine in a bit." Bai Jie declined Puss in Boots' offer.

After breakfast, the group of beasts arrived at today's filming location, and as soon as they arrived, they saw the green screen being set up.

"Is it not ready yet? Let's go film the scenes with Kinkaku and Ginkaku first."

"Huh?" Bai Jie turned to look at Puss in Boots, bewildered. "Didn't they say that the scenes in Heaven would require a green screen?"

"That's outdoors. If it's indoors, we can just find a room and decorate it," Puss in Boots explained.

"Oh, I see." Bai Jie suddenly realized.

"The venue is over there, follow me." Xiaohang called out, leading the beasts toward a warehouse-like place.

Entering the warehouse was like stepping into another world. The antique decor, the exquisite porcelain bottles on the wooden shelves, and the huge alchemy furnace in the center of the room—if you added some celestial mist, it would definitely be the Tushita Palace, well… provided you ignore the surrounding cameras.

The scene shifts to the misty, ethereal Doushuai Palace, where the human-shaped Golden Horn and Silver Horn are diligently refining elixirs. Flames flicker within the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and various items are tossed in. Upon closer inspection, what the Golden Horn and Silver Horn are throwing into the furnace is... a pile of cardboard? A pile of cardboard with the names of various herbs written on it!

Offstage, someone commented, "Is it really necessary for them to go through a complete alchemy process to get into the right mindset?"

"Give it a try. We've failed several times before, maybe this time it'll work," Puss in Boots replied.

Bai Jie glanced at Kinkaku and Ginkaku, who were completely absorbed in their work: It seems... it really works?

The replica Bagua furnace suddenly began to shake. Silver Horn, who was standing next to it, was startled. His experience of burning boilers for thousands of years was ingrained in his bones, so he subconsciously ran away.

"Boom!" The imitation Bagua furnace exploded.

"Pass!" Puss in Boots stood up and clapped his paws. This time, Silver Horn's panicked expression at the beginning of the run was incredibly lifelike.

"Huh?" Silver Horn was taken aback, as if he had just realized that he hadn't actually been refining pills.

"Alright, this scene is finished. The green screen is all set up. Let's go shoot over there." Puss in Boots called out to the other animals and then led the way outside.

At 10:46 a.m., on a green screen stage shrouded in mist, a small golden statue was lecturing a mythical creature.

“I’m telling you, it’s not good for you to be so idle all day long. The Heavenly Court doesn’t want idle people either. I’ll assign you a task.”

"Um... I don't want to go." The four-legged creature looked reluctant.

"Then I'll speak." The little golden man completely ignored what the four-legged creature was saying and continued, "Although the divine beasts of Heaven are all plump and strong, there are still some very poor divine beasts in the mortal world. In order to reflect the humanitarianism of Heaven and based on the principle of putting beasts first, I have decided to send you down to the mortal world to take care of those poor divine beasts. I've finished speaking. You don't object, do you?"

"I object." The four-legged creature raised its paw.

"Opposition is ineffective; you must leave."

"Uh..." The Qilin was silent for two seconds. "Descending to the mortal realm is such a dangerous thing, you should at least give me a handy weapon."

"Weapons? Weapons can't pass the security checks in the mortal world."

The four-legged creature fell silent once again.

"You strange creature, don't think I don't know you're rolling your eyes! Here's what we'll do, I'll buy you insurance, hurry up and go down to the mortal realm!"

A four-no-like creature: stingy...that's why I don't like dealing with gods.

The golden statue: "Don't be lazy after you come down to earth, you hear me!"

"Pass!"

"Bang!" The clapperboard slammed shut.

"The city scenes are finished. Everyone pack up and get ready to go back to the mountain," Puss in Boots called out.

The film crew, which had been quiet due to filming, suddenly became noisy as the staff packed up various filming equipment and props to load them onto the truck.

At the green screen location, the little golden statue transformed into a golden toad, "Phew~ finally finished filming, now I can go ask the Rabbit God for mooncakes."

The actor playing the little golden man is actually a golden toad, a friend of the Rabbit God, who was invited to participate in the filming of "There Are Beasts".

The golden toad jumped off the green screen stage, and as soon as it landed, it was grabbed by a sudden blue figure.

"You can spit out gold, right?! Can you spit one out for me?"

"Who are you?" Jin Chan looked bewildered. After a closer look, he realized that the one who had grabbed him was the Pixiu from the film crew.

"My name is Tianlu, and I'm a Pixiu. I've heard you can spit out gold, is that true? Can you spit one out for me? I love eating gold!"

“Uh…” Jin Chan fell silent, recalling a story his elders had told him when he was a child.

"There are two patrolling divine beasts in Heaven, named Pixiu. It is said that they are brave and good at fighting, but also have a violent temper and love to eat gold and silver. Li Dan, once we Golden Toads fall into their hands, our fate will be worse than death... So if you disobey me again, I will throw you into the Pixiu's lair!"

Golden Toad: Mom! Am I going to be captured by the Pixiu and used as a tool to spit out gold?

Just as the golden toad was panicking at Tianlu's glowing green eyes, a voice came from the cemetery, "Tianlu, why are you running so fast!"

The golden toad turned its head and looked, and then... it saw a golden Pixiu running over.

Golden Toad: It's over, my life is over!

Bai Jie ran up breathlessly, "Really, Tianlu, how come you run faster than the wind when you hear about gold?"

"Hehe, because I was so excited." Tianlu was a little embarrassed: he got so excited that he forgot about his younger brother.

"Give up! We Golden Toads have principles! We will never give gold to beasts like you!"

"Huh?" x2

Bai Jietianlu looked at the fierce-looking golden toad with a bewildered expression.

"What principle?" Bai Jie asked.

"The golden toad only gives gold to those who appreciate it, so don't even think about it!" Never bow down to evil forces. (JPG image)

Bai Jie didn't say anything; he just took out a box of mooncakes.

"However, considering you are Rabbit Lord's friends, it's not that I can't give it to you," the golden toad quickly changed his tune.

Bai Jie: Your principles are truly flexible.
