The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

At dawn, on an unnamed mountain in the Caiyun Mountains, a group of beasts were surrounding a dragon lying on the ground, barely alive.

"Is he really alright? Will he die?" Bai Jie asked worriedly.

"If it's dead, why don't we eat it? I've never eaten dragon meat before." Tianlu was eager to try.

All the beasts looked at Tianlu in shock: Your idea is dangerous!

Bixie leaned closer to Ao Bing and sniffed him. Suddenly, he frowned. "Hmm... he is indeed dead."

"Hey!" Bai Jie looked at Bi Xie in bewilderment: No, Bi Xie, I know you're a brother-obsessed freak, but do you have to spoil your brother to this extent? He's still breathing!

"Cough cough cough cough, well, I think I can still be saved." Ao Bing felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing Bixie Tianlu's words, and he managed to cough as he spoke.

"There are still so many beautiful women I haven't dated, so many different races I haven't tried. The world is so wonderful, I can't die yet!" Ao Bing roared inwardly.

"Should I call an ambulance to take you to the hospital?" Puss in Boots squatted down and asked with concern.

Ao Bing's eyes sparkled with gratitude: Ah~ So kind-hearted girls are beautiful too!

Ao Bing opened his mouth to say something, but before he could speak, another voice interrupted.

"No need to go to the hospital, I can heal this little injury myself." Rabbit Lord confidently took out a bunch of herbs and walked towards Ao Bing.

Ao Bing: No, don't come any closer! I don't want a stinky man to treat me! I want a beautiful doctor, I want a cute nurse!

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Why are you screaming so pitifully?" Rabbit Lord stuffed a handful of herbs into Ao Bing's mouth, silencing the guy's cries.

"Waaaaaah!" Ao Bing let out a series of whimpering sounds with his mouth gagged.

"Wait, something's not right? I added pain-relieving herbs. Could it be that my medical skills have deteriorated?" Rabbit looked at the herbs in his hand suspiciously. After repeatedly confirming that he hadn't used the wrong medicine, he scratched his head in confusion.

After a while, thanks to the combined effects of the dragon's restorative abilities and the rabbit's herbs, Ao Bing became lively and energetic again.

"Haha, thank you all so much for helping me heal my injuries. I am extremely grateful." Although he felt awful about being manipulated by a man, Ao Bing remained polite on the surface.

"Haha, no need to thank me, it was just a small favor," Rabbit replied politely.

Ao Bing: This is such a small favor, I don't need to do it. I can recover on my own.

"After all, he helped me, so I should thank him." Ao Bing, who was cursing inside, still smiled on the surface.

"Ah, you're too kind..."

"I remember who you are!"

Rabbit Lord was interrupted by Tianlu's sudden shout halfway through his polite words.

All the beasts looked at Tianlu at the same time. Tianlu pointed at Ao Bing and said, "Aren't you the lewd dragon that Nezha mentioned, the one whose tendons he pulled out? Weren't your tendons pulled out? How are you still alive?"

The entire room fell silent. Ao Bing's lips twitched, and he felt a sudden stomachache: Why did this Pixiu have to bring up the very thing he didn't want to talk about?

"So you really were killed by Nezha once!" Bai Jie exclaimed in surprise.

"Ugh~" Ao Bing felt even more stomach pain instantly.

Completely unaware that he had become a persistent and inquisitive person, he asked curiously, "Since you've died once, why are you here? Did you come back to life?"

Ao Bing: Where did I put my stomachache medicine that I haven't used in a long time?

After taking the medicine and relieving his stomach pain, Ao Bing began to answer Bai Jie's question, "Alas~ Actually, I was indeed killed by that demon child Nezha."

"So what are you doing now...?"

Ao Bing did not answer Bai Jie's question, but instead revealed his aura.

A strange feeling came over him. Bai Jie blinked. Only then did he realize that Ao Bing was acting strangely, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

"So you were listed on the Investiture of the Gods."

Bai Jie, this young man, couldn't tell, but Tian Lu, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, determined Ao Bing's condition the moment he sensed the aura.

"The Investiture of the Gods." Upon hearing this, Bai Jie suddenly realized: That explains everything. It seems I misunderstood you, author of Investiture of the Gods. I should have read the original work before making my judgment... Wait, something's not right!

Bai Jie suddenly realized something and turned sharply to ask Bi Xie, "Bi Xie, didn't you just say that Ao Bing is dead?"

"Hmm." Bixie nodded.

"You noticed it back then?"

Bixie continued to nod.

Bai Jie: So it turns out they didn't say he was dead just so Tianlu could stew dragon meat.

"Ahem, let me formally introduce myself. I am Ao Bing, the Third Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace and the Dipper Star Lord Huagai." Feeling ignored, Ao Bing coughed twice and revealed his illustrious name.

"Oh." x6

(Why x6? Because Totoro took the tile cat away to do some mental preparation.)

"Why are you all reacting like this?" Ao Bing was embarrassed: Why wasn't his reputation working anymore?

"Now that I've finished introducing myself, shouldn't you all introduce yourselves too?" Ao Bing began to change the subject to ease his embarrassment.

"Let me start with an introduction. My name is Rabbit Tony. I used to be the chief mooncake chef in the Moon Palace. After descending to earth, I entered the entertainment industry."

After Rabbit Lord finished his introduction, all the beasts' eyes simultaneously fell on Bai Jie.

Bai Jie, completely bewildered, exclaimed in a JPG: "Wait, why is everyone looking at me?"

"Um... because I only don't know you and Tony." Ao Bing answered Bai Jie's question and began to carefully examine the Pixiu that he had never seen before.

“Okay, my name is Bai Jie, and I am a Pixiu. I am a little over ten years old. Don’t misunderstand, I was created by heaven and earth…” Bai Jie emphasized the words “created by heaven and earth”. He had been misunderstood many times because of his age and really didn’t want to see those looks again. “As for why heaven and earth created me, to be honest, I don’t know either.”

After speaking, Bai Jie looked at Ao Bing, wanting to see what the dragon thought of him, this special divine beast.

"Why does this guy look at me so strangely?" Bai Jie frowned and thought to himself.

"Alas, it's a pity it's a male, otherwise it would have been a beauty." Ao Bing sighed and uttered a sentence that shocked all the beasts for 100 years.

Bai Jie was filled with question marks, which then all turned into exclamation marks: What do you mean?! If I were a female, were you planning to raise her?! Believe me, no, my brother will beat you up!

In reality... Tianlu Bixie was already preparing to kill this dragon that dared to plot against his younger brother.

"Calm down! Don't be so impulsive, he was just joking!"

"Yeah, yeah, calm down! He didn't do anything with Bai Jie!"

Puss in Boots and Xiaohang, one beast and one animal, dragged Tianlu Bixie's tail to prevent the two brother-obsessed individuals from killing Ao Bing in their anger.

"You two really need to calm down! A few scratches from the cat won't hurt, but if you attack, you'll really kill the dragon!"

"Director, let go! I'm going to eat this bastard alive today!" Tianlu, being dragged by Puss in Boots, bared his teeth at Ao Bing with an extremely fierce expression.

"Let go of me!" Pixie turned and glared at Xiaohang.

"You, you, you, you promise I won't lay a hand on you, I, I'll let go." Despite being so frightened by Bixie's aura that he could barely speak, Xiaohang still clung tightly to Bixie's tail.

"Bai Jie, why don't you try to persuade your brother!" Puss in Boots had a sudden inspiration and asked Bai Jie, the one who had started thinking about the matter, for help.

"What's there to persuade me about? I'm not persuading him!" Bai Jie turned his head to the side and decisively refused: I'm already being kind by not stirring things up, and you expect me to persuade Tianlu Bixie not to make a move? Bah! He deserves it!

"It's over." Puss in Boots looked at Bai Jie, who looked angry, and felt that Ao Bing was beyond saving.

"Why is this happening?! I want to go back to the Dragon Palace, the human world is too dangerous!" Ao Bing trembled behind Rabbit Lord.

"What are you doing hiding behind me?" Rabbit tried to take two steps to the side, but Ao Bing followed and hid behind him.

"It's no use hiding behind me, I can't stop those two guys anyway," Rabbit said helplessly.

"What do we do, Tony? I don't want to die!"

Rabbit rolled his eyes: You don't want to die, yet you still have to provoke Bai Jie. If you provoke him, he'll just scold you a couple of times, but you have to provoke him in front of his two brother-obsessed older brothers. Those two aren't pushovers.

"Go apologize to Bai Jie; he's the only one who can save you now."

"Uh..." Ao Bing looked at Bai Jie, then at Tianlu Bixie, who was eyeing him menacingly beside Bai Jie. "If I go over there, I'm afraid I'll be torn to pieces!"

"There's nothing I can do about this, you'll have to figure it out yourself," Rabbit said, shrugging.

Ao Bing is on the verge of tears: He brought this on himself, so he has to deal with it, even if he has to kneel down!

Finally, Ao Bing came up with a solution: apologies don't have to be made in person; can't I apologize from afar?

So… after Ao Bing tearfully apologized, Bai Jie stopped Tianlu Bixie's plan to kill and eat the dragon. It wasn't that he was soft-hearted; it was mainly because Ao Bing's pleas were too... well, they made Bai Jie's skin crawl. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore and let the guy go.

"Phew~ I'm saved!" Ao Bing collapsed to the ground like an eel.

"Hmph! Who told you to talk to Bai Jie like that! No wonder Nezha said you're no good!" Tianlu's anger hadn't subsided, and he spoke in a furious tone.

"Huh? How does Nezha know he's not a good guy?" Bai Jie asked Tianlu, puzzled.

"I don't know, he didn't say." Tianlu shook his head.

Bai Jie turned his questioning gaze to Ao Bing.

Ao Bing remained silent: It's a dark history I don't want to talk about.

"If you don't talk, I'll eat you." Bixie leisurely raised its paw and placed it on Ao Bing.

Ao Bing shuddered. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you. I just teased him a couple of times because he was good-looking, and when he got angry, I was skinned alive and had my tendons pulled out."

The beasts present fell silent: Why does this plot seem so familiar? Isn't this exactly what you did to Bai Jie before?

"W-what's wrong? Is there a problem?" Ao Bing asked cautiously.

Bai Jie, speechless: "Um... can't you learn your lesson? You almost died for the same reason twice!"
