The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Inky black clouds obscured a corner of the pale, waning moon.

Moonlight poured down, and the dense forest, as still as an abyss, swayed. Under the dappled, ever-changing light and shadow, a golden-white beastly shadow swiftly swept past.

shhhhh!

Two streaks of light flashed by, and the arrows pierced through the tree trunk and disappeared into the ground, with a faint golden light shining through the dark hole.

"Pixiu, stop right there! Surrender and you might get a lighter sentence!!"

A troop of golden-armored celestial soldiers, armed with bows and sharp weapons, closely pursued the beastly shadow. The leading celestial general shouted and raised his hand to fire another arrow.

The sound of arrows cutting through the air, masked by the shouts, drew closer. Bai Jie's ears twitched slightly, and he flipped over and leaped into the air. Arrows narrowly missed his body, flying past and piercing through the trees beside him.

"Despicable!!" he cursed, not daring to linger, and rushed deeper into the dense forest.

The leader frowned. "Notify the other battalions to surround the area. We must search every inch of the ground to find it!"

"promise!"

……

The waning moon was completely swallowed up by the surging dark clouds, and oppressive darkness enveloped the dense forest, where countless shadowy figures moved about.

They worked in groups of five, each armed with a weapon, searching the surrounding area.

In the darkness, the gleaming golden armor illuminated all directions, and amidst the swaying shadows of the trees, Bai Jie shrank and hid in a bush.

Half a month... he's been being hunted for half a month now. Ever since he escaped the Heavenly Court, waves of heavenly soldiers and generals have come after waves... keeping him constantly on the run...

Bai Jie pursed her lips and tried to pull them in, her muscles tense and trembling slightly.

A hand reached into the bushes. He held his breath, the swaying branches ruffled his fur, the hand swept back and forth once before withdrawing, and the footsteps faded into the distance.

"Whoo~"

Bai Jie breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second his hair stood on end and he rushed out, two arrows piercing through the spot where he had been standing.

"He's right there, hurry and chase after him!"

A loud shout rang out in the forest, and countless golden figures, appearing and disappearing, rapidly approached.

Baiyue were in a state of panic as they desperately fled. The scenery rushed past them, trees were pierced and broken by the arrows, and the forest fell down in clumps like wheat being harvested.

Why……

An arrow narrowly missed its target, grazing the ground as the arrows flew. The ground was riddled with holes as the arrows flew. In mid-air, heavenly soldiers and generals gathered and pursued the enemy on clouds, raining down arrows wave after wave.

Why are you protecting me as I take it out with one hand...?

"He's about to escape the encirclement! We can't worry about anything else, let's use lightning magic!"

Boom——!

A massive bolt of lightning struck the dense forest, sending flames soaring into the sky.

You've all gotten away with it, leaving me to fugitive life on the run?!?

The adult form of Bai Jie burst out of the dust, its white fur stained with blood and pierced by several arrows. Reflected in its fierce, azure eyes, a pair of heavenly soldiers dropped their bows and arrows, drew their swords, and stepped forward.

That was the last line of defense in the encirclement; if we could break through it, we could escape alive.

"Roar!"

He slapped a large tree next to him, snapped it in half, and threw it over.

The five heavenly soldiers froze in the twilight. Three raised their swords warily, while two stepped forward and thrust forward, instantly slicing the tree into three pieces. Surprisingly, there was no one behind them!

Where is the beast?!

One of the attacking heavenly soldiers was greatly alarmed; a fierce roar suddenly erupted from his flank.

When he turned around, Bai Jie had already launched a surprise attack from the side, knocking down three of his companions. Another heavenly soldier who had also made a move saw this scene and instinctively slashed at him again.

However, as the blade drew near, Bai Jie swung his head and precisely bit the back of the blade, and the last companion was also forced out by the tail of the prophet.

"Gudong."

The heavenly soldier swallowed hard.

Wow, that's impressive. No wonder his brother was able to kill so many of us.

A giant claw swooped down, and the heavenly soldier was slammed to the ground in the blink of an eye. His chest was pressed down by the enormous weight, and he coughed incessantly.

At this moment.

With just a slight lift and a flick of its claws, an enemy, a celestial soldier, would perish.

Bai Jie lowered his head, a fierce glint brewing in his blue eyes. His armor creaked and groaned, almost deformed from the force he unconsciously increased.

They killed the Four-Faced Beast, framed Tianlu and Bixie, and even themselves...

It raised its sharp claws, paused slightly, and then swung them out with a whooshing sound to deflect the incoming arrows.

A large number of pursuers charged in formation, and golden light approached from the sky. Bai Jie gritted his teeth, turned around and ran, no longer paying attention to the remaining soldiers on the ground.

As the night passed, the relentless pursuit ceased due to the loss of their target. The heavenly soldiers and generals slowed down and searched for clues bit by bit along the direction the enemy had fled.

On the cloud map, a general holding a bluebird bowed respectfully. "Reporting, we have not captured the Pixiu Baijie; it has escaped. After a headcount, no soldiers were injured. However, a forest fire was caused in the mortal realm by using thunder magic. Please give instructions."

The immortal in the bluebird painting, his robes fluttering, flicked his whisk lightly, "It seems our brother has made him hesitant to act rashly. Let's continue the pursuit."

"promise!"

……

One day in heaven, one year on earth.

The pursuit lasted for an unknown period of time, with Bai Jie constantly hiding and maneuvering, dealing with the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Gradually, the Heavenly Court's manpower was depleted, and the number of people sent down decreased year by year. When Bai Jie last met the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, there were less than a hundred of them left. They gave him a letter and then quickly withdrew.

[The Pixiu's Hundred Solutions: Your brother Tianlu is not dead, and we haven't been too harsh on him. If you are willing to surrender, I can forgive and forget, and allow you brothers to reunite.]

Before a secret passage leading to the heavens, Bai Jie tossed down the letter, looked up, and his eyes were filled with uncertain emotions.

Vast clouds gather, winding their way up into the sky to an unknown height. In this desolate landscape, only this ladder to heaven stands proudly, connecting the sky and the earth.

Should we go up?

Bai Jie hovered its front paws on the Cloud Stage Street, its jaw clenched as it stared intently at its own movements.

Now that the Heavenly Court has reduced its pursuit efforts, should we continue to hide in the mortal realm, or go to Heaven for a trip?

Whether it's Tianlu or...

But perhaps this is another of Tian Tian's schemes. As long as he goes to heaven, there is a high chance that he will be caught. Does he want Tian Lu's efforts to protect him to the end to be in vain?

Besides, given his personality, as long as he's not dead, he'll probably find a way to descend to the mortal realm sooner or later...

Perhaps if we just wait, if we just wait, we will meet again in the mortal world...

A cool breeze, carrying the scent of rising clouds, lashed against his face, and he vaguely realized he had already climbed the cloud ladder. He glanced back at the ground with a conflicted look, then lowered his head and slowly began to climb step by step.

He... probably can't wait that long.

……

heaven.

Amidst the magnificent palaces and shrouded in mist, a blue figure stealthily crept around the buildings. The omnipresent celestial light of the heavens illuminated his face, revealing him to be none other than Tianlu.

He looked around cautiously, moving away from the area.

suddenly!

"Found him here! He ate our food and tried to run away? Pay up!!"

Startled, Tianlu turned tail and ran without looking back. Behind him, a group of immortals surged out, brandishing magical weapons and charging towards him like a torrent.

"Stop right there! Give me back my magic weapon!"

"He flew here on his own, so it's not my fault!"

"Give me back my medicinal herbs and elixirs!!"

"I was just helping you weed, I accidentally made a mistake!"

"Give me back my master's mount, the Green Ox Demon!!"

"This has absolutely nothing to do with me! I don't have that kind of ability!!"

A group of immortals rode on auspicious clouds in pursuit of Tianlu, their figures gradually fading into the distance.

After they left, Bai Jie emerged from behind a pavilion, his gaze complex as he watched Tian Lu run away, his lips pressed tightly together.

Shortly after,

In a palace,

The little golden figure casually poured tea when a loud announcement suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"Report! The Pixiu has smuggled itself to heaven and is currently requesting an audience!"

"Heh." He chuckled lightly, picked up his teacup, and took a sip. "He's quite sensible. Let him in."

The heavy door swung open with a thud, and Bai Jie walked in slowly, head down, the light from outside casting a long shadow that stretched into the shop.

"Here to surrender?"

"……Um."

The little golden statue clapped its hands with a smile, "Come here."

Bai Jie hesitated for a moment, but still dragged his feet and moved over little by little.

The little golden statue patted his head. "What if we seal your memories? Would you still be willing to surrender?"

The pupil of the eye is an earthquake.

So that's how it is. Why was Tianlu able to accept life in the Heavenly Court?

"So? Are you willing?" the little golden man asked with a smile.

Bai Jie looked up and saw that the entire sky was filled with people on high alert. The person in front of him was also a powerful magic user. He lowered his head again.

"I would like to..."

"Oh? If the next wish seals away memories, unlocking the heart won't be as easy as it is for you, brother."

Bai Jie closed her eyes. "I won't resist."

"Alright." The little golden man gently patted his head. "Someone! Bring Tianlu and the Four-Faced Beast here!"

Bai Jie trembled when he heard the familiar name.

The little golden man laughed, "Since you're so sensible as to give me a small gift, I'll restore Tianlu's memories of you."

"Thank you, Your Excellency..."

……

Time flies like an arrow, and years pass like a shuttle; in the blink of an eye, we've arrived at the modern era.

"What? Tianlu... Tianlu ran away to the mortal realm without permission?" Baijie took two steps back in a daze.

"Yes." The fairy boy who came to inform him nodded, his eyes filled with sympathy.

After the other party left, Bai Jie hurriedly went out.

Before the secret passage leading down from Heaven, a cordon was set up, and warning signs were placed in the most conspicuous positions. He stood at a distance for a while, grinding his teeth, before turning and walking away.

Descending to the mortal realm without permission is not an option; we must follow the proper procedures.

"What? To apply for a passport, you need a visa first."

"How do I get a visa? In theory, you should apply for it at the embassy, ​​but since the Heavenly Court does not allow mortals to stay, you can only go to the mortal realm."

"How can you go without a passport and visa? I don't know, that's just the way it is."

Bai Jie clung to the window, her ears twitching, almost crying with anger.

Isn't this bullying a beast?

He jumped down angrily and ran away. Once he was out of sight, the staff took out the Bluebird and whispered, "We've already fooled him."

In the palace.

Bai Jie lowered his head, his chest heaving slightly, his emotions agitated but he could only suppress them.

The little golden man slowly sipped his fine tea. "Going down to the mortal realm is not easy to arrange, and even if you go down, you won't be able to find your brother for a while."

"How about this, you go home and wait, and I'll let you know when I have news."

After a long silence, Bai Jie finally nodded weakly, "Okay... then."

The palace gates opened, and he walked out wearily. As the environment of Shenzhou changed, he found himself in an unknown corner of the Heavenly Court.

With no one around, Bai Jie slowly slowed down, her body trembling as she crawled down, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Tianlu, you bastard!! You came down to the mortal realm and then abandoned me? Why didn't you just fall down and die?!"

"You promised to take care of me, but you didn't keep your word... I should have known better than to clean up your messes and get into trouble, only to be forced into prostitution by those gods!!"
