The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 286 King Leopard Fishing in Troubled Waters

Seventy-seven stood at a distance, the noise of passing guests filling his ears.

At the table of the core members of the crew, Fei Fei tried to force Bai Jie to drink with ill intentions, but Tian Lu immediately chased her away as if she were guarding against Huang Mao.

Seventy-seven raised its front paw and slowly stepped forward, but stopped halfway and then retracted it.

—Never mind, there are too many people, it's not convenient to ask. I'll go find her alone later. For now, I'll go find Yue Tian and the others to play with.

With this conviction in mind, he immediately turned and ran away briskly. The air was filled with mixed scents, and he followed the scents of the wolf cub and the weasel.

……

On the rocky hillside, a monster rushed hurriedly into a cave.

A ring of torches illuminated the dark cave. The Leopard King, with his legs crossed, leaned back on the stone throne, picking his teeth, with a pile of freshly gnawed bones at his feet.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! A demon has discovered a large gathering of beasts on the nearby mountain!" The demon rushed to the stone throne and knelt down with a thud.

The dim firelight flickered, and the Leopard King's brow twitched. He casually tossed aside the bone he used to pick his teeth and straightened up, supporting himself on his knees with his paws.

"Oh? Who dares to gather men on my territory? Do they want to start a fight?"

His eyes lifted from the shadows, his tiger-skin cloak fluttering wildly in the sudden burst of demonic wind, the torches around him flickering as if they might go out at any moment.

He slightly opened his mouth and uttered a few syllables with an air of dominance.

"Tell me, who is it?"

"Reporting, we spotted a monster but didn't dare approach it. However, we saw auspicious clouds in the sky, which seemed to be the kind of activity that only the mythical beasts of the film crew would make."

"Uh……"

The Leopard King's newly gained momentum suddenly froze, his billowing cloak fell back down, the torches reignited, and the leaping flames illuminated his stiff face.

"What should we do, Your Majesty? Why don't we take advantage of this rare opportunity while they're all on our territory and rob them?"

The atmosphere inside the cave was a bit awkward, but the monster didn't notice. Instead, it was inspired by the Leopard King's earlier performance and bowed deeply with its paws clasped together.

King Leopard blinked, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears. He pointed at the other person, then at himself, and spoke incredulously.

"You mean... that I should lead you bunch of little demons to fight a bunch of divine beasts?"

"Why not? Your Majesty is wise and mighty. Those divine beasts don't seem that powerful. Your Majesty will surely be able to lead us..."

The monster's voice grew louder and louder with excitement, but before he could finish speaking, the Leopard King slapped the armrest, his voice suddenly drowning out his.

"You bunch of worthless cowards, you expect me to lead you to defeat a divine beast? Are you crazy, or am I? Even if we team up, we might not be able to beat it. You're trying to get me killed!"

"Uh, no, Your Majesty, I..."

"Shut up!"

Leopard raised its paw and pointed at him, rudely interrupting him, its lips trembling with anger.

"You, you, you get out of here! Get out of here! You've had enough of living, but I haven't. Don't say I did this suicidal thing."

"But Your Majesty, even if we can't beat them and can't steal them, we can at least get something from that divine beast. We can easily lord it over everyone."

The monster, still unwilling to give up, continued to persuade him.

King Leopard was so angry that he slammed his hand on the armrest, raised his paw twice, and pointed outside, trying to tell him to get lost. But then the other person's words suddenly flashed through his mind. He instinctively considered the situation, and his anger suddenly subsided.

—Wait a minute, the second option... doesn't seem like it's impossible either?

He frowned slightly in thought, his gaze fixed on the other person as they turned and left dejectedly.

One step, two steps, three steps. Just as the monster's heavy foot was about to step out of the cave, King Leopard suddenly called out to him.

"Wait, tell me more about the theft you mentioned."

The monster walked a short distance, then turned its head in confusion, its eyes glazed over for a moment before bursting with surprise.

"Haha, Your Majesty, I knew you had a discerning eye!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."

"Oh! I asked around, and those divine beasts are probably celebrating a wedding. There are also quite a few ordinary spirits mixed in with them."

"As long as we send some little demons that the other side doesn't know or has never seen before to disguise themselves as guests, we can openly sneak in and steal things."

"Even if we don't steal anything good, we can still gather intelligence. When the other side finishes up, we'll find a chance to sneak over and plunder."

The more King Leopard listened, the more relaxed his brows became, but at the same time, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. He wondered if this guy was really stupid or just pretending. His logic was so clear, completely unlike before.

……

After a long time,

At the foot of the mountain where the wedding was held.

The lively atmosphere was carried into the mountains by the wind, the branches and leaves rustling and swaying. The Leopard King peeked out from behind a tree, squinting as she observed, the dappled sunlight casting repeated spots of light on her face.

"Your Majesty, before I left, I sent a few lesser demons up to check the situation, and they brought the message back."

The monster that had tipped them off trotted over from deeper in the forest and whispered its report, its voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement.

“There is indeed a celebration taking place on the mountain, and it would be easy for many ordinary animals to sneak in.”

"Alright, send two monsters up there." The Leopard King's squinting eyes reflected the scenery on the mountain as he gently swung his paw.

Soon, a wolf demon and a bird demon approached the wedding venue. They were the same two gatekeeper demons who had accompanied Bai Jie and Tian Lu in staging a play for the Four No-Face.

Now, a villager from Caiyun Village was guarding the banner. It was a burly yellow ox with a kind face. When it saw the two demons arrive, it scratched its head, and a puff of white smoke came out of its nose, which was adorned with a nose ring, as it made a puzzled sound.

"Cats, who are you? Are you here for the wedding too? I've never seen you in the village before?"

"Haha, we're on our way to work, we were delayed on the way."

The bird demon stepped forward with a dry laugh, its cunning voice forcibly trying to convey a sense of friendliness.

"Oh, is that so? Then let's go in quickly, the bride and groom will be here soon."

"Alright, alright." Without another word, the wolf demon grabbed his companion and headed inside, then turned back and asked, "Hey buddy, aren't you going in?"

"No need, I'll stay here and guard it." The ox lowered his large hand and smiled憨厚ly.

……

"The bride and groom have arrived!"

Just as the two demons mingled into the banquet, a highly penetrating announcement rang out through the entire hall via a thin rope.

A black dot appeared in the sky, and all the beasts looked up. The black dot grew larger and larger, revealing Zhuangzhuang carrying lychees and flying swiftly towards them. The wind made their wings flutter!

"They're here! The bride and groom are here!"

A burst of excited shouts erupted from the scene as all the Qilin descendants invited by Shi Qilin simultaneously unleashed their power.

Auspicious energy filled the sky, and amidst the dazzling light, Zhuangzhuang gracefully landed carrying lychees on his back. The groom, his makeup complete, took flight, while the bride's pink hair swayed and her wedding dress billowed.

The fur of the two beasts, ruffled by the wind, intertwined, and then their bodies sank, landing steadily on the ground.

"Wow, it fell from the sky, that's so cool!"

"The wedding is starting!"

Cheers erupted from the herd, the frenzied excitement deafening.

The bird demon and wolf demon who had been lurking in from the corner gaped in astonishment. After that wave of auspicious power, they were surprised to find that their cultivation had improved, saving them at least several decades of arduous training.

"Even the little bit of information that slips through our fingers can be incredibly beneficial to us. I really don't know how lucky the hands in this film crew are."

The wolf demon stared blankly at his own claws. The sudden surge of power gave him the illusion of invincibility, but in reality, the terrifying auras around him quickly calmed him down.

"I suddenly had the urge to change jobs."

The fiery red bird demon shook its wings, and the luster of its feathers became much more luxurious and gorgeous than before.

"You stinking turkey, how could you betray the King?!"

"Hey, I was just saying, and besides, you're a dog, not me!"

"I am a wolf, not a dog!"

When the two demons were arguing,

Walnut and Fuzi led the way, scattering flowers, while Zhuangzhuang, carrying lychees, had already climbed onto the bright red wedding stage. A chorus of cheers and whistles erupted from below.

Lychee leaped lightly down, her white wedding dress trailing on the ground. She turned slightly and gently took her husband's paw, the two beasts facing the gazes of the other animals.

Puss in Boots, Xiaohang, the Little Sparrow and Straw Dog couple, Grape, Treasure-Spitting Mouse, and many other Qilin relatives.

"So many friends!" Zhuangzhuang couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

"Alright, alright, everyone quiet down." At this moment, Rabbit God took the microphone and went on stage. After the noise in the room gradually subsided, he began to give his speech.

"Dear friends, welcome to the wedding of Ms. Lizhi and Mr. Zhuangzhuang. I have been entrusted by the bride and groom to serve as their emcee, and I would like to witness with you all this happiest moment for Zhuangzhuang and Lizhi!"

"Oh ho! Give me a kiss, give me a kiss, give me a kiss!"

The previously subsided atmosphere erupted again, and someone shouted out, followed by a chorus of kisses throughout the banquet.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the bride and groom gazed at each other. Lychee slowly moved closer, and as her beautiful eyes darted around, her breath almost slapped against Zhuangzhuang's face.

"Zhuangzhuang, I love you. Would you be willing to spend the rest of your life with me?"

The distance between the two beasts' faces suddenly shortened, their pink and red pupils reflecting each other's features. Their lips touched, and a voice, amplified by the speakers, resounded throughout the venue.

"I am willing!"

"—Whoosh!"

The crowd erupted in cheers, the enthusiastic sonar shouts drowning out the bride and groom.

The Treasure-Spitting Mouse covered its mouth, its eyes brimming with excitement, while Grape nestled in its chair, pouting. The complex emotions conveyed in its expression could be summed up in one sentence.

—You got off easy, kid.

"Ahem! Alright, alright, everyone quiet down. The next part of the wedding ceremony will be hosted by our production team's sponsor, Bai Jie!"

Rabbit Lord's words, delivered through the speakers, drowned out the noise of the banquet. His high-pitched voice was powerful, and the eyes of all the beasts instinctively turned to Bai Jie, who was sitting at the table closest to the wedding table.
