The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Halfway up the mountain, at the entrance of the Pixiu's home.

The two Qilin from the First Jade Sect, carrying large and small bags, knocked on the door. The four divine beasts inside looked at each other, and finally, the Four-Faced Beasts took a deep breath and went to open the door.

"Oh, eldest son, it's been so long since we've been here. How have things been going with you and the little Pixiu?"

As soon as Shi Qilin entered the room, his gaze swept back and forth between his eldest son and Bixie, while Yu Qilin followed behind with a smile.

The two elders' probing gazes made Si Bu Xiang feel immense pressure. He took a step back, sweating profusely, and glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.

Of the three brothers, Bixie turned his head away, Baijie looked serious, and Tianlu, who was usually the first to rush up for gold and jade, was unusually quiet.

"Huh? Eldest son, why aren't you saying anything? And little Tianlu, your father and mother brought gold and jade today." Shi Qilin shook the bundle he was carrying, feeling a little strange.

Yu Qilin frowned slightly and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell? You've been so quiet today."

Si Bu Xiang's lips twitched slightly, but Bi Xie immediately interrupted him, thinking about how bad his emotional intelligence was.

"Tianlu ate random things before and probably got an upset stomach. As for the Four-Faced Beast... he's probably numb from being asked so many times."

Bai Jie nudged Tian Lu with his elbow.

After a moment of stunned silence, Tianlu immediately unleashed an Oscar-worthy performance, clutching his stomach with both hands, his face contorted in pain, his eyes fixed on the package in the old couple's hands, filled with a longing and pitiful expression of unfulfilled desire.

The Four-Faced Beast was also taken aback, but before it could process what was happening, it had already blurted out the words.

"It's not what you said, Little Plum Blossom, I..."

His words abruptly stopped, and he fell silent.

Bixie stared at him as if he were looking at a 200-pound idiot. Sibuxiang felt that look was familiar; wasn't that the look Little Plum Blossom gave Little Blue Circle?!

Fortunately, the two elders did not delve into the details. They were anxious to know about Tianlu's health. Shi Qilin even wanted to feed the child some Qilin saliva for treatment, but Tianlu, who was terrified, refused.

Not long after, he drank some of the immortal dew given to him by the Jade Kirin and pretended that he had recovered. He then began to gnaw on the golden jade, which relieved the two elders.

Yu Qilin stood up with a relaxed expression. "I'll make lunch today. Let's eat something light so that Bixie can rest a bit."

She walked to the refrigerator and opened the door. In addition to the usual fruits and vegetables, the refrigerator compartment also contained a lot of magically sealed elixir. She asked in surprise, "You've stored so much elixir. Son, when did you develop this habit?"

The four-legged creature stiffened.

That was prepared for Seventy-Seven, but you can't say that.

"Huh? Eldest son, whose schoolbag is this?" Shi Qilin asked, picking up two schoolbags from the entryway cabinet.

Tianlu's movements as he ate the gold and jade gradually slowed down. He nervously swallowed, and Sibuxiang's face was covered in sweat. At the same time, a thought flashed through their minds.

Oh no! I forgot to clean up the mess in the house!

"Eldest son?" The First Qilin turned around, and the two beasts desperately tried to figure out how to fool him.

The Four-Faced Beast slightly opened its mouth, but before it could speak, it was interrupted by a voice from the side.

"That's my classmate's schoolbag. I've been sent back to school recently." Bai Jie's voice was melodious and successfully attracted Shi Qilin's attention.

"Little Baijie's classmate came to play at our house. Where's his beast? Introduce him to Daddy."

“Once they leave, their fathers and mothers may not come back.”

"I see. Isn't Xiao Baijie going to play with her classmates?" Shi Qilin put down his schoolbag without suspecting anything.

Tianlu and Sibuxiang relaxed, looking at Baijie with gratitude. Baijie ignored them and continued talking to Shiqilin.

"Isn't this because I'm waiting for my father and mother?"

"Hehehe, good boy, I knew you cared about Daddy." Shi Qilin instantly beamed and picked up his godson from the ground.

Bai Jie twisted his body, his azure eyes blinking, before finally giving his brother a look.

Get it done.

……

It wasn't until 3 p.m. that the two Qilin from the First Jade Sect finally departed, satisfied, riding away on auspicious clouds.

The four brothers inside maintained their expressions, but suddenly relaxed and slumped into a ball the moment the door closed.

"Oh dear, thanks to Little Plum Blossom and Little Sun, otherwise Little Square would have been exposed." Four-Faced Beast patted his chest, his face full of relief.

Bai Jie looked up at him, her lips twitching slightly before she forced them back down.

The thing we were all hoping for didn't happen...

He looked towards the doorway, feeling slightly ashamed. He knew it wasn't right, but he just wanted to see.

Bai Jie shook his head to dismiss the strange thought, but suddenly his body tensed up, and before he could react, Tian Lu, who had survived the ordeal, pulled him into his arms.

"Well?!"

"Bai Jie reacted so quickly! If it weren't for you, your secret about Seventy-Seven would have been exposed!"

Tianlu was genuinely moved; even with his carefree nature, he couldn't imagine what would happen if Seventy-Seven were exposed.

"I guess I'll have to tell you sooner or later." Bixie turned his head and looked at him helplessly, a hint of resignation in his eyes.

"That's all thanks to Little Plum Blossom!" Si Bu Xiang, imitating Tian Lu, picked him up and chuckled.

Bixie's hind paws dangled in the air, its front paws resting on the large paws that were wrapped around its waist. It turned its face away expressionlessly and said, "That's because your emotional intelligence is too low."

Bai Jie looked up at the two of them and they immediately fell in love. Then he snuggled closer to Tian Lu and grumbled, "So, will you still bully me in the future?"

"No, no, I swear I will take good care of Bai Jie!" Tian Lu tightened his claws, his little face serious.

"You clearly swore an oath at the very beginning." Bixie turned his head speechlessly, his lower body still suspended in mid-air.

"Ahem, don't worry about the details!"

……

Rewind several tens of seconds.

heaven.

Under a clear blue sky, a sudden auspicious cloud streaked across the sky, leaving a long white trail. The two beasts riding on it appeared as dark silhouettes against the sun.

The First Qilin lowered its head, and the mountains and rivers below receded, with the vast mountain range stretching endlessly. As it looked at them, it suddenly had a sudden inspiration.

"Honey, we happen to be passing by Little Lychee's house on our way back, why don't we go and check it out?"

“Okay, let’s see how she and Zhuangzhuang are doing?” Yu Qilin smoothed her wind-blown fur and readily agreed.

So, without the four brothers' knowledge, the two Qilin of the First Jade changed direction and headed towards the location of Seventy-Seven.

Cave entrance,

The two elders descended on auspicious clouds, and from the exquisite cave came Zhuangzhuang's serious voice instructing the children. They exchanged a glance and stepped inside.

The cave walls were smooth and flat. On the neatly arranged haystacks, Lizhi smiled as she watched Zhuangzhuang earnestly instructing the three chicks of the little tit.

Upon hearing the commotion, the two beasts turned their heads simultaneously, their gazes meeting those of the two elders who had entered, and their eyes froze for a moment.

"The...the First Qilin? What are you doing here?!" Lychee suddenly came to her senses and exclaimed.

"I just visited the little Pixiu's home, so I wanted to check on how Little Lychee is doing."

The First Qilin chuckled as it looked around, but its expression froze almost simultaneously with that of the Jade Qilin.

I didn't see it before because of the angle, but now that I look closely, there's a timid, black Pixiu behind Zhuangzhuang, staring at them in shock...

After a long while...

"You unfilial son! You didn't even tell us about something so important!"

Shi Qilin cursed loudly, then looked at the ever-obedient Seventy-Seven in his arms, his face instantly changing to a kind expression.

"Come on, little Qiqi, don't be afraid. We are your grandparents. Say hello, Grandpa and Grandma!"

"Hello, grandparents."

Seventy-seven called out sensibly, keeping in mind that Si Bu Xiang's attitude of not allowing him to reveal his identity.

"What a wonderful child! It's just that the breeding center accidentally conceived the baby, but they shouldn't have kept it from us."

The first Qilin was indignant.

After Lizhi's explanation and Qishiqi's additional information about his past experiences, he was convinced that this was the child of his eldest son and Xiaotianlu.

"Couldn't it be your bloodline left behind in Heaven? You left your body tissue at that breeding base."

Yu Qilin cracked a joke, easing the slightly tense atmosphere.

Seventy-seven moments later, sweat beaded on his forehead and his eyes widened slightly.

That hit the nail on the head! Is this what they mean by a woman's intuition in those short videos?

"Hey, hey, stop joking, honey." Shi Qilin shook his head repeatedly while holding the little one.

"I did that so that my baby wouldn't have to go through the hardship of carrying eggs anymore. We can just bring the baby back to incubate it, and then send it to our second son's kindergarten."

"You're really wicked, aren't you? You gave birth to them but didn't raise them, and now you've dumped them all on Little Sugar." Yu Qilin couldn't hide the smile on his lips.

The two qilin looked at each other, and then burst out laughing at the same time, their eyes filled with sweetness.

They have known each other since ancient times, weathered the vicissitudes of life, and now, at their advanced age, their public displays of affection are too much for their children to bear. They have complete trust in each other.

"My second son likes this anyway, so I'm just providing him with students." Shi Qilin winked with a grin, making his wife giggle.

However, in his arms, Seventy-Seven couldn't laugh; the little Pixiu was already drenched in sweat.

The closer the two Qilins acted, the more panicked he became, imagining the scene after his identity was exposed. So Uncle Four-Faced was under that much pressure? He felt incredibly guilty about ruining their relationship!

"Hey, you two, that's enough, isn't it? You've seen the child, it's time to leave."

The two elders of the Qilin, who were filled with pink bubbles, were interrupted by an unpleasant voice.

Shi Qilin turned his head, and Lizhi stood in front of Zhuangzhuang, glaring at them with annoyance.

"Oh dear, is Little Lychee unhappy? You have Little Pegasus, you two can be inseparable. Oh right, when are you having your wedding? Remember to send us invitations."

"There's no need for you two to trouble yourselves with this!"

"Little Lychee, you're so cold... Hey, hey, don't chase us away! Ouch, ouch, Little Lychee, we'll walk by ourselves."

The two Qilins, along with Seventy-Seven, were pushed and pulled out of the cave by Lizhi. Only after watching their figures gradually disappear on the horizon did Lizhi breathe a sigh of relief and return home.

"Why is Lychee in such a hurry to send them away?" Zhuangzhuang stood there, looking over in confusion.

"Every time they come, they're either pressuring us to get married or showing off their love. It's so annoying," Lychee complained as she walked with her back to the light, pausing slightly at this point.

"At worst... we can go to their house for a visit later. But you, aren't you going to be stuffed in a bit?"

Zhuangzhuang was stunned by what she said, and it took him a while to realize what she meant.

"Um... Lychee, I'm a celestial horse, not a dog..."

"Pfft, I know. I was just kidding." Lychee laughed, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Let's go back to the two elders.

The First Qilin and the Jade Qilin rode on auspicious clouds at top speed towards the Pixiu's home.

Seventy-seven was held in their arms, her lips opening and closing several times, the receding scenery reflected in her pupils, shifting uncertainly.

Should we just tell them directly? But Uncle Four-Faced doesn't seem to want to tell them about this... and...

He looked up, and the jade unicorn smiled and teased him, offering him a handful of celestial dew, "Seventy-seven, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

He obediently opened his small mouth slightly to eat the fairy dew, and then lowered his head again.

Is it really okay for me to just jump out and ruin their relationship? Oh well, I'll wait until I get home and then decide.

Xiangyun moved quickly, and they soon arrived at the house halfway up Pixiu Mountain. The two elders exchanged a glance, and Shi Qilin composed himself before knocking on the door with Seventy-Seven in his arms.
