The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

As the sun set and the sky gradually darkened, the hilltop, which had been bustling all day, slowly became quiet.

Leftovers were scattered all over the table, and empty bottles were strewn all over the floor.

Bai Jie carefully stepped over the clutter and ran into the banquet hall. What he saw was the beast that was left to clean up the mess, and his brothers waiting for him.

Tianlu, half-asleep, slumped over a table, babbling about what else he could drink. Bixie patted his back helplessly beside him, while Sibuxiang tidied up a pile of empty bottles on the floor, and Qishiqi helped out.

"Hey, Little Sun, you're back!"

Sibuxiang picked up a beer bottle and looked up, only to spot Baijie jogging over.

The other three Pixiu followed his gaze upon hearing this. Tianlu squinted at him for a long time, then his eyes lit up, and he staggered off the chair and pounced over.

Bai Jie instinctively caught Tian Lu, who was about to fall headfirst. A strong smell of alcohol hit him, causing him to instinctively turn his head slightly to the side.

"Bai...Bai Jie! Where have you been...so long...shadow? Sniff, there's a...strange smell on you?"

Tianlu mumbled incoherently with his large tongue, buried his face in his fur, and sniffed hard. Baijie was inhaled twice and, at a loss, helped him up and looked at Bixie.

"What...is this?"

"That idiot's drunk."

Bixie sighed, tilted his head to indicate the wine bottle on the ground, and then looked at Tianlu with some resentment.

"Even if you can drink, you can't drink like this."

Bai Jie grinned, unsure of what expression to make. Tian Lu rubbed against him again, hugging him tightly with both hands, and the words he murmured were completely unintelligible.

After telling the story of Tianlu, Seventy-Seven curiously ran over and wagged its tail lightly, "Baijie, where did you go before? We looked all over but couldn't find you."

Bai Jie's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm on the surface, though her voice sounded slightly unnatural as she said, "It's nothing, I just went out to play."

—Actually, I went to watch the cat and dog fight. It wasn't over when I left; it was really long.

What can we do outside the banquet?

Seventy-Seven looked around suspiciously, but Bai Jie didn't give him a chance to ask any further questions and directly helped Tianlu towards the Four-Unlikes.

"Go back quickly, Tianlu is not suitable to stay outside like this."

"Alright, the Club Sun Block, come on up and sit tight."

Without arousing suspicion, Sibuxiang called to the three Pixiu. Baijie and Bixie worked together to lift Tianlu and place him on his back. Qishiqi, filled with doubt, also climbed up.

—Something just feels off?

Soon, a wisp of auspicious cloud swiftly flew away from the mountaintop, and after they left, the remaining divine beasts were basically all gone.

In a corner,

The wolf demon and the bird demon mingled with the helpers, cleaning up the mess from the wedding.

They exchanged glances as they watched the last group of divine beasts leave, then immediately dropped their exercise equipment and rushed down the mountain to report.

"Hey, why are you leaving already? We haven't finished our work yet!" the ox shouted from behind.

"We suddenly remembered we have something urgent to attend to, so please excuse us," the bird demon shouted in response without turning its head. Then, with a flap of its wings, it took flight, overtaking the wolf demon and flying ahead.

"What urgent matter could it be?"

The ox scratched its head in confusion, then shook its head and continued working.

But soon he noticed an unfamiliar black bear spirit beside him. "Hey? Who are you? I've never seen you before?"

The black bear spirit grinned憨厚ly, "I was called here to help."

As soon as he finished speaking, he deftly picked up a sack and stepped forward to help "tidy up" the messy tables and chairs.

Pack up the leftover spiritual fruits. Pack up the remaining aged wine. Pack up the cloud-like vomit that the Qilin drank!

The ox opened its mouth as if something was wrong, but then again, it didn't seem like anything was wrong.

He used his not-so-bright brain to think for a while, and finally came up with an answer that convinced Niu with his extraordinary wisdom, and his eyes became profound.

—Forget it, I'm not very smart or well-educated, I'll just do what the village chief says.

He kept his head down and continued tidying up the tables and chairs, ignoring the group of unfamiliar faces with gleaming eyes that had appeared nearby.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen.

King Leopard arrived with his men. Looking around, he saw pots, pans, and all sorts of leftover ingredients. He waved his hand dismissively.

"My men, move this for me while no one's around!"

"Okay, my lord!"

A group of little demons pounced on them like wolves and tigers, while Shaojiao quickly packed up the valuable items.

King Leopard assigned two lesser demons to keep watch, then slowly approached with his paws behind his back.

Near the charcoal-black stove, there was a pile of leftover food, and on the table were packed leftovers.

He glanced at it casually and was amazed at how much these guys had prepared; they hadn't finished eating even after almost a whole day.

"Hmph, not bad, this is just what I, the Great King, need."

The leopard chuckled and strode towards the fragrant food. He stretched out his paw, but suddenly frowned and stopped halfway.

—Wait, where's the chicken I wanted? It's missing.

His leopard paw hovered in mid-air for a long time, then, as if remembering something, he slowly bent down and looked under the table.

Two pairs of eyes stared at him, their owners, Yue Tian and Huang Jiu, looking astonished, the chicken bones they were holding in their mouths unconsciously falling to the ground.

"You dead leopard, what are you doing here?"

The wolf cub raised its paw and pointed at him in surprise, with soup still lingering at the corner of its mouth, and the plate of chicken stew with mushrooms that had disappeared was right at its feet.

The Leopard King narrowed his eyes, tucked one paw behind his back and quietly moved it forward, a smile that he thought was benevolent spreading across his face.

"I'm here to help out. We're short-handed here, so they asked me to come too."

"You're talking nonsense." Huang Jiu stretched out a paw and pointed at him with his index finger. "There are so many beasts in the village, they wouldn't be calling for you. You came here to steal something, didn't you?"

"Quite smart."

King Leopard didn't expect to be fooled like that. He stopped trying to hide it, and the smile on his lips turned ferocious.

"But you know too much!"

The fist hidden behind his back lashed out swiftly, and the two children stared blankly as they tilted their heads slightly, the reflection of the leopard's claw growing larger and larger in their pupils.

As children of the village and the little brothers of the mythical beasts, we certainly can't afford to injure or cripple the wolf and the weasel.

But as long as he knocks them unconscious when they're off guard and then runs away with his underlings, King Leopard is confident that he can hide until the storm passes and then come out to continue being the mountain king.

however……

A wooden cane suddenly appeared and intercepted the leopard's claws, which were halfway through their swing. With a flick of the cane, the attack of the leopard king was easily neutralized, and at the same time, a faint voice sounded from behind.

What do you want to do to the children in our village?

The Leopard King stiffened slightly, its fur bristling, and its pupils shrank to almost the size of pinpoints.

He turned his head slowly, and the old goat's smiling face, stroking his beard, came into view. The little demon who was keeping watch in the distance was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground, with a huge bump on his head.

He remained silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his face and looked up in surprise at the person behind him.

"A black bear? Knock him out!"

"Ok?"

The old goat held his crutch in front of his chest, then glanced back out of the corner of his eye, but there was nothing there.

When he turned back, the Leopard King had already run more than 10 meters away.

"Old man Yang!! What's wrong with you? We've already used this trick on you until you're immune to it, how could you still fall for it?!"

Yue Tian rushed out from under the table, shouting angrily.

Lao Shan put down his cane and rolled his eyes. "That's you bunch of little brats."

……

Soon after.

Puss in Boots and Faye returned to the banquet, still feeling a bit unsatisfied. The cat-and-dog battle was finally over, and they came back after seeing the two animals asleep.

"This is so exciting! I never expected the director to be a cat like this." Fei Fei put her arm around the black cat's shoulder and chuckled like a devil.

Puss in Boots coughed and turned his face away, muttering under his breath, "I never expected Bai Jie to be such a Pixiu."

She finished speaking, glanced around, and then froze.

King Leopard lay on the ground, his face bruised and swollen, while his henchmen lined up behind him, all covered in bumps and bruises.

The old goat stood in front of the group of demons, smiling as he tapped his cane. "Did you think you could escape so easily?"

"What... what's going on?"

The two cats approached blankly, and Puss in Boots looked at the monsters lying all over the place with a puzzled expression.

"Director, it's like this."

Yue Tian popped out from the side and quietly explained to her.

After a while, Puss in Boots nodded with a strange expression, and his gaze toward King Leopard became odd.

—They dare to barge into their banquets; they're really bold.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!! Ben, no, I promise I'll never mess with you again! Please let us go, we'll do anything you ask!"

King Leopard kowtowed loudly to the ground, and the monsters behind him followed suit, kowtowing frantically.

"Please, Grandpa Sheep, let us go!"

"What does the director say we should do? I'm not really good with them," the old goat asked, stroking his beard and tilting his head.

Puss in Boots stroked her chin and suddenly remembered a story that Bai Jie had once mentioned to her.

The Qilin was entrusted with slaying demons and monsters, but was almost captured by a monster and forced to engage in dual cultivation.

"Oh...maybe they can come work as extras here. Let them give it a try."

King Leopard was overjoyed upon hearing this. He had only been begging for mercy, but he never expected to receive such a benefit!

That's a production team for a mythical beast movie! Wouldn't it be great to join them?

He kowtowed again, saying, "Thank you, Director! I will never forget Grandma's great kindness!"

Puss in Boots' paw, which was stroking his chin, froze, and he instantly became speechless.

Uh... I'm not that old..."

"Ah! Sorry, sorry, I'm just used to calling you that, Director... Miss?"

"No suffixes allowed. If you add any more, you're fired and I'll find another beast!"

"Yes, sir!"

……

Time flew by and it was already the next day.

In the grove, the first rays of sunlight pierced through the leaves, scattering golden dapples onto the two embracing animals.

A few spots of light quietly climbed onto her closed eyelids, causing her eyelashes to tremble, and she groggily opened her eyes.

"Ugh... my head hurts so much. I really shouldn't have drunk so much..."

There seemed to be some kind of beast pressing down on him. He struggled to prop himself up and looked down. Cat Tears' ears twitched and he slowly opened his eyes.

Their eyes met.
