Bai Jie didn't want to use those methods used by academically challenged students; he still had a tiny bit of ambition. With his current talent, was he really going to slack off on his homework? He felt ashamed of himself.

There was no other way, so Baijie could only obediently bury himself in his writing and occasionally tutor Qiqi on some questions he couldn't answer.

He had a lot of homework to do over the weekend, but his mind was clear, and he finished his own assignment in one go while also helping Seventy-Seven with his.

However, it was already night, and Bai Jie, feeling refreshed, looked up in bewilderment and realized it was 10 o'clock. He reluctantly reached for his phone, but just as the screen lit up, he was dragged onto the bed by Bi Xie, who had entered the room.

"Let's play again tomorrow. I'm going to sleep now."

Helpless, Bai Jie had no choice but to obediently climb into bed. To vent his anger, he even hugged Tianlu and took two deep breaths!

"Ouch? Why me?"

"Because it's the easiest to say. Okay, time for bed."

A night of silence,

Day two.

The family was bored and had nothing to do at home. Just as they were about to go outside for some group activities, a knock sounded at the door. Two unexpected beasts had come to their door that day.

"Father, Mother, what brings you here?" The Four-Faced Beast opened the door and looked at the Qilin couple in surprise.

Shi Qilin pounced into the house and hung around his neck: "Oh dear, I missed my darlings, so I came to see them."

“My eldest son doesn’t know…” He loosened his arms, his small body landed lightly, then covered his face with his paws, on the verge of tears!

Yu Qilin sat down with a smile, stroking the fur on his forehead as he watched him frolic. Inside the room, four Pixiu curiously poked their little heads out.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Shi Qilin squeezed out a few tears. Sunlight streamed through the crack in the door, drawing out the glistening droplets. He turned his little face, his large, blue eyes wide open…

"Since Xiao Qiqi appeared, Father has endured so much pressure... Heavenly affairs and family gossip, Father can only bear all of this alone, disregarding his old age and declining health..."

Si Bu Xiang opened his mouth, but despite knowing what kind of person his father was, he was still speechless. It was indeed Shi Qilin who handled the matter of the Seventy-Seventh.

"Uh... thank you for your hard work, Father."

"I knew you cared about your father!" Shi Qilin's spirits instantly lifted. "To be honest, the Heavenly Court is planning to send someone down to check on Xiao Qiqi's condition. I'll leave that to my sons!"

"Huh? Wh-what?" The Four-Faced Beast's mind went blank, completely unable to keep up with the other party's train of thought, while Seventy-Seven's heart suddenly skipped a beat inside the room!

—Won't I be taken back? I don't want to...

Si Bu Xiang led the two elders into the house. The family, whose relationships were so complicated that they didn't even know how to write their family tree, sat down and chatted. Bai Jie finally learned about the situation.

When Qishiqi descended to the mortal realm, he sneaked down and, with his extensive experience, managed to board the Heavenly Iron Train. Later, it was Shi Qilin who helped him complete the necessary paperwork, and his guardians were his parents.

The adopted divine beast has been around for quite some time now, and the Heavenly Court intends to send someone down to check on how Seventy-Seven is doing.

Shi Qilin rushed over as soon as he received the news. According to him, due to the time difference between the sky and the ground, it was uncertain when the inspectors would arrive; it could be a few days or even a few months.

"I don't want to go back to the Celestial Palace... Will they take me back?" Seventy-Seven asked anxiously, immediately asking the question that concerned her most.

"As long as Xiao Qiqi is doing well, I don't want to leave, so I definitely won't." Shi Qilin picked him up and gently patted his back.

Seventy-seven breathed a sigh of relief, and then he heard the other person's voice in his ear.

"I heard that two people came down, and one of them seems to know Xiao Qiqi."

"Know me? Wait, who knows me? Could it be...?" Seventy-seven was stunned at first, then his face turned purple with fright as he came to his senses!

If you know him, isn't he the zookeeper?

The zookeeper who took care of him from a cub to adulthood, the zookeeper who was often scolded for him running away.

The zookeeper who sneaked down to the mortal realm without uttering a sound was probably scolded terribly!

Seventy-seven's eyes widened. The conversation around her seemed to have faded away, hazy and indistinct. In her chaotic mind, a single thought broke through the remaining thoughts and kept echoing...

--what do I do?

Soon after, when the other beasts sat down to listen to Seventy-Seven anxiously recount his unease, the whole family looked at each other in bewilderment.

"So much time has passed, it should be alright, right?" Tianlu asked doubtfully.

Bai Jie nudged him: "There's a time difference; it's probably only been a few days in the Heavenly Court."

Everyone's attention turned to Seventy-Seven again. The bloodline suppression from the keeper made the little Pixiu very anxious, and the beast couldn't help but worry about his hair loss.

—Uh, what am I thinking?

Bai Jie couldn't help but raise his paw and slap his face.

"It's alright. After all, he's the zookeeper who's taken care of you since you were a kitten. He won't make things difficult for you," Yu Qilin said gently, trying to comfort her. Regardless of whether that was true or not, that was all they could do.

The two elderly people stayed there for a while longer, had lunch there, and then left together...

As soon as the two elders left, Bai Jie was eager to get the beast involved, but Qi Shiqi still looked nervous and seemed to have no interest in participating.

Helpless, the four brothers discussed it and Bai Jie and Tian Lu took him out for a walk to try and calm him down.

But it didn't help much. Throughout the weekend, including the next few days of school, Seventy-Seven still seemed a bit distracted.

One day, two days, three days...

The clock on the wall ticked away, but the inspectors never arrived.

Despite being on edge for so long, Qi Shiqi couldn't concentrate on his studies. His score dropped drastically on a quiz, which scared him so much that he quickly sought help from Bai Jie for tutoring.

As he got busy and time passed, his tension gradually subsided, and his family breathed a sigh of relief.

the other side.

The recent continuous heavy rains and humid air have caused the crew to complete several rounds of filming. The Pixiu family has already started filming the next main storyline before the inspection team even arrived.

Puss in Boots saw the weather forecast and informed them that there would be a heavy rain in a couple of days, and that some outdoor shots would be filmed in the rain, so he told Bai Jie and Tian Lu to be prepared.

This was a rare opportunity; according to the plot, the Sky-Piercing Tree's tribulation summoned thunderclouds that covered the entire Rainbow Cloud Mountain Range.

During the storm, the Qilin fell into the rushing river. Tianlu came to rescue him, and the two beasts finally uncovered the lie that had been kept for too long in the cave.

The deer spirit, acting as the key, removed its mask, and the heart lock instantly broke!

This heavy rain at such an important juncture cannot be replaced by ordinary rainy days.

There are dangerous scenes involving falling into a river, and there might only be one chance in a short period of time.

Although Bai Jie could theoretically replicate such an opportunity, I think it's best not to bother God unless absolutely necessary, or you might get struck by lightning!

"That's it, Pipi, Xiaobai, I'll arrange for you two to practice with the Four-Faced Beast in advance."

Under the director's arrangement, even Tianlu, who was usually the most idle at home, had to get busy. Baijie would ask for leave from school every day, and the two brothers would go to the film set to practice together.

Standing before the turbulent river, Tianlu took a step and stood still. In the middle of the river, the current was swift and violent, with water splashing everywhere. A piece of driftwood was about to fall when it finally sank to the bottom of the water!

"Okay, let's start!"

At Puss in Boots' command, Tianlu rushed into the water. Her petite figure quickly grew larger, and with a nimble limb, she slid up and plunged headfirst into the river!

Not long after, the Pixiu dragged the driftwood ashore, its fur completely soaked, and water dripped down the grass.

Puss in Boots looked at the footage captured by the waterproof camera and then began to point out the other person's details: "The expression was flat, and the movements were too decisive."

She immediately emphasized, "This is filming. Your friend has fallen into the water and could die at any moment. It's not just about dragging a piece of wood ashore."

Tianlu nodded thoughtfully.

"Take a break and get ready for next time," Puss in Boots said, then quickly darted off to the other side.

Besides Tianlu, Baijie and Sibuxiang practice in two other places. Puss in Boots will arrange for them to practice their scenes together after they have become more familiar with each other.

A day passed in the blink of an eye. The two brothers, exhausted from practicing, dragged their heavy steps home. Bai Jie collapsed onto the sofa, stared blankly for a moment, and then instinctively reached for his phone.

"Don't play now, Little Sun. Let me hold you and let you sleep for a while. Little Plum Blossom will have dinner ready soon." Si Bu Xiang walked to the side, lay down on his side, and patted the spot next to him.

Bai Jie was attracted by the fluffy giant Qilin and promptly lay down next to it, though he still didn't put his phone down.

Leaning against the soft, fluffy chest, he turned on the screen and opened his small group chat: "I'll just watch for a little while, then I'll go to sleep."

He muttered as he scrolled through his phone, his small face reflecting the light from the screen, his blue eyes mirroring the endless stream of messages scrolling across the chat page.

The four-legged creature blinked its big eyes and helplessly placed its large paws on him: "Then you can't play in the sun for too long."

"Hey, why don't I get this treatment?!" Tianlu was also preparing to take a nap on the other side of the sofa.

Normally, the younger brother should play on his phone for a while, and then automatically refresh the screen to his side and snuggle into his arms.

But when Tianlu heard the commotion and opened his eyes, he discovered that his younger brother had been kidnapped! And the Four-Faced Beast hadn't even greeted him!

"Eh? Little Blue Circle wants to come too? I can sleep with Blue Circle and the Sun." The Four-Faced One clearly couldn't understand the emotions in the words. He rolled over and opened his arms, his eyes like those of a clear-eyed, naive college student.

"Uh... I'm not some little kid who needs someone to sleep with him, who would want that?"

"Oh my God!"

A gasp abruptly cut off Tianlu's suddenly awkward and arrogant mood. Before Baijie could even secretly rejoice at the interaction between her two older brothers, she was startled by what she saw on her phone and jumped up!

A dying patient starts anew, what secret did I see?

"What's wrong with Little Sun?"

"What's wrong with Bai Jie?"

The attention of both the Qilin and the Pixiu was diverted, and they spoke almost reflexively at the same time.

Bai Jie stared at her phone for a long time, then finally looked up at them in a daze, flipping her hand to reveal the screen: "See for yourselves..."

A photo was displayed on the screen. Tianlu and Sibuxiang stared at it. It was a screenshot of Bixie vomiting in pain. It seemed to be from the latest episode of You Shou Yan that was released some time ago.

The only difference is that the color of what comes out of it has been changed... and speech bubbles have been added next to it...

"How can I ward off evil spirits? I am xxxxx~?"
