The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Inside Qilin Cave.

Shi Qilin slumped onto the sofa like a rag doll, with a pile of documents spread out on the coffee table in front of him, which were clearly various contracts and procedures related to death and the polar regions.

"Finally it's done, thank goodness. I was so scared, thankfully there wasn't a second case."

He clutched his slightly heaving chest, his face full of relief.

The contract he signed at the time did not explicitly prohibit him from having relations with other bloodlines.

However, the deity in charge of this matter still notified the experimental staff not to arbitrarily crossbreed the bloodlines of divine beasts. The case of Seventy-Seven was purely accidental, and the newly recruited people did not know about this matter and randomly paired them up.

Shi Qilin relaxed on the sofa for a while, until his wife came out of the kitchen, then he suddenly sat up.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm not going to eat you. Besides, you didn't know anything about modern times back then, so it's okay to make a few mistakes."

With a gentle smile, Yu Qilin approached the dining table, placed the celestial dew on the table, and sat down, tilting her head to look in their direction. No trace of displeasure could be seen in her eyes.

"My wife may not care, but I can't let her suffer! It would break my heart if my darling were wronged..."

The First Qilin jumped down, head held high and chest puffed out with righteous indignation. Then it turned its head and looked at the other person with affection, its big eyes blinking.

Yu Qilin couldn't help but laugh. "Pfft! Alright, stop with the glib talk and come eat."

"Okay, honey."

The Qilin trotted over excitedly and sat down obediently like a little child.

Yu Qilin smiled and shook his head, pushing a set of bowls and chopsticks over, and then picked up a script from the chair on the other side and placed it in front of him.

"This is the script the director sent today. She wants you to take a look at it and we'll be filming in a couple of days."

After saying that, she made another joke, "But I think based on your performance when you're trying to coax me and play the victim with the kids, your acting skills probably don't need any prior practice."

"No way, I'm completely sincere towards my wife!" Shi Qilin retorted with a serious expression, casually taking the script and putting it in his pocket.

"Okay, okay, it's true. By the way, I've read your script; it's a scene with Xiao Lizhi."

"What?!"

Shi Qilin's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and he turned his head in a daze, only to see his wife's teasing expression.

I just confessed to that young girl a few days ago about my tumultuous family dynamics, and now I have to film a scene with her. How awkward will it be when we meet?

On the day of the shoot,

Just as Shi Qilin had expected, when he arrived at the film set, he found himself awkwardly staring at Yu Lizhi and her husband. The atmosphere was so tense that Qilin wished he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment and crawl into it.

He opened his mouth, but the summer sun scorched the air, distorting it. A gentle breeze stirred the weeds, causing them to sway softly. Separated by their own distance, Lychee interrupted Shi Qilin without any politeness.

"What, you want to ask me about Zhuangzhuang and me again? Mind your own business first, about your child..."

"Ah, Little Lychee, stop talking! I don't care about you and Little Pegasus anymore. Free love is fine too, and you two seem to get along well."

Shi Qilin tensed up instantly, interrupting the other person's last sentence, a thin layer of sweat beading on his forehead.

A smile unconsciously crept onto Lychee's lips, and her tail wagged happily twice. Zhuangzhuang turned his head and looked at her in surprise.

"Ahem, alright, little lychee, stop fooling around. You promised to keep it a secret." Shi Qilin coughed twice and forced a kind smile.

Lychee smiled, her eyes crinkling, wanting to tease him a bit more, but just then, an untimely voice interrupted.

"What are you talking about? What secret?"

The Qilin's face stiffened, and the three beasts turned their heads together. Puss in Boots appeared beside them at some point, looking at them with a hint of gossip in his eyes.

"Can you tell me about it? Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret."

"Haha, it's nothing! Is everyone here, Director? Can we start filming now?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't push me!"

Shi Qilin laughed loudly and pushed Puss in Boots to force him back. A bead of sweat rolled down his face and dripped onto the grass. Zhuangzhuang and Lizhi exchanged a glance and followed.

They arrived inside the film set, where the cats and Panhu were already waiting. Forced back, Puss in Boots reluctantly took out the script and explained the scene to everyone.

Lychee and Panhu became friends by chance, and they played a thrilling game of swapping bodies using a spinning mushroom.

Then it was Lizhi's turn to take care of the cats. Panhu was discovered by Zhuangzhuang to be in trouble. Tianma, who was timid, was so frightened that he thought Lizhi was gone and cried his heart out.

After their bodies were switched back, Zhuangzhuang was terrified by the incident and eventually confessed his feelings to her face, but Lizhi asked him to go back and think it over carefully before talking to her again.

Just as he was puzzled, he overheard the conversation between Lychee and the First Qilin.

A Qilin can only have one mate in its lifetime, and the lifespan of a Pegasus is much shorter than that of a Qilin. When the Pegasus dies, Lychee will only live out her days alone.

"Next, Zhuangzhuang, you were hesitant and evasive about this matter. When Lizhi found out, she caught up with you and you two had a heart-to-heart talk. In the end, you made a vow to become partners!"

"Alright, that's all for now. I'll tell you the details later."

Puss in Boots said his lips were dry, so he picked up the water glass with his paw and took a sip.

The Qilin swept its tail back and forth, glancing at Lychee and Zhuangzhuang out of the corner of its eye. A sentence lingered in its mouth for a long time, making it feel uncomfortable, but it finally couldn't help but spit it out.

"That... Little Lychee, Little Pegasus..."

"Shi Qilin. You don't want others to know either..."

Shi Qilin felt his hair stand on end at the sight of Lizhi's smiling face, and his face turned purple with fear. "Little Lizhi, stop talking! I won't interfere in your affairs anymore!"

The strange conversation between the two beasts drew the attention of other beasts who were unaware of what was going on. Puss in Boots looked left at the Qilin and right at Lychee, instantly sensing the juicy gossip.

Even the shameless old Qilin is like this; this is definitely a big surprise.

"What are you talking about so mysteriously?" she leaned forward, inquiring curiously.

the other side,

Cat Tears leaned against Panhu and whispered in his ear in a serious tone, "I think there must be a big problem between them."

Pan Hu glanced at him speechlessly.

Is not this nonsensical?

After a barrage of questions, no matter how much Puss in Boots asked, Qilin insisted that it was a family matter and refused to reveal the details, which piqued the curiosity of the two cats present.

While the staff were setting up the filming location, the two of them got together and analyzed the situation in detail.

For an old, shameless man to be so thoroughly manipulated by a junior and rendered speechless, is an extremely humiliating matter, perhaps even involving the beast that can control him.

Puss in Boots examined his network of relationships and came to a conclusion that surprised both cats.

This old rascal probably has an illegitimate child outside and is afraid his wife will find out, right?

Pan Hu, who had been listening in the whole time, twitched his eyelids and ears, grabbed his cat and left, saying, "Let's go, Mao Mao, don't play with him, you'll be corrupted."

"Meow! Don't pull me, Panpan! I still want to go find that Qilin to confirm!"

"You're not allowed to go, it's impolite."

The aloof and domineering big dog led his pet cat away into the distance. Puss in Boots watched them disappear, his mouth slightly agape for a moment before he muttered a resentful remark.

"Where did you go astray? Curiosity and gossip are human nature, okay?"

……

The morning flew by, and during lunch break, Puss in Boots finally managed to find some free time to go and confirm his guess with Lychee.

When Lizhi finished listening to the other person's reasoning, her mouth slightly opened, and the way they looked at her changed.

The process was completely wrong, but the result... was actually half right? Is this a woman's intuition? It seems that Yu Qilin's intuition is quite accurate as well.

"So, is that what I guessed?" Puss in Boots asked gossipy.

Lychee's lips twitched slightly.

"Don't pry into other people's family affairs. If you want to ask, ask Shi Qilin. I will keep it a secret, but if he tells others, then it's none of my business."

"Ok."

Puss in Boots looked regretful, still trying to figure out what had happened.

But she never imagined that Tianlu's child was actually Shi Qilin's illegitimate son!

……

Meanwhile, in a certain tourist area.

The crowded throng squeezed into the temple atop the mountain, where an antique charm greeted them: sandalwood pillars and blue-tiled roofs.

The vermilion gate is nailed with 24 iron nails, four in a row and six in a row. A plaque hangs above it, with vigorous and powerful calligraphy, and three large characters that stand out on it: Qilin Temple!

"I heard that there is a real Qilin in this temple, and those who receive his blessing can live to be a hundred years old."

The crowd surged into the temple and then dispersed in a flurry. Tourists wandered around with curiosity, while a couple walked by, chatting and laughing. The man showed off information he had found online.

"Really? Really? Let's go check it out!" The woman's eyes sparkled, and the message "Lifespan +99" kept appearing in front of her.

"Let's go! Let's go pray for blessings, and grow old together with our precious child."

The two soon arrived at a crowded spot inside the temple. The woman jumped around a couple of times and realized she couldn't see anything, so she asked her boyfriend to carry her on his back and look inside.

"Ah, I see it! I see it!"

Amidst the bustling crowd, a space cleared out behind a sea of ​​heads, where a black Qilin sat regally on a stone pier, its silhouette accentuated by a few green stripes that added to its mysterious and graceful appearance.

"Really? What did you see?"

Her boyfriend, who was sitting down, gave her a hard jolt to lift her up a bit, and the girl swayed slightly before looking up.
