The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

A gentle breeze stirred the curtains inside the Deer Man shop, and through the gaps, glimpses of the outside world revealed lush green grass and magnificent mountains and rivers.

Suddenly, a beam of light fell from the sky, and a violent gust of air tore open the curtains and rushed into the room, causing the tiny objects on the tables and cabinets to sway slightly.

A moment later, the air currents dissipated, and Tianlu rushed in excitedly, "Haha, the Qilin is gone! Finally, no one is watching me!"

"Hey, have you forgotten about me?" Bai Jie followed behind and entered the house, complaining.

Tianlu hopped two steps, stopped on the carpet, turned around, and chuckled.

"No, Bai Jie, it's just that nobody's watching the two of us. Oh, right, since Qi Bu Xiang isn't here, I'll call Bi Xie out to play with us!"

He said he patted his belly, opened his mouth, and called upon the evil spirits inside.

Bai Jie instinctively opened her mouth to stop her, but her gaze shifted to the table, where the white bluebird socket was empty, and the familiar green figure had vanished without a trace.

By the way, Qingniao has been taken away by the Qilin for daily maintenance, so there's no one monitoring us for the time being.

"Ah! It's out, it's warding off evil!"

While Bai Jie was distracted, Tian Lu's carefree actions suddenly jolted him.

He opened his mouth wide, and a red figure darted out, spitting out drops of saliva onto the floor. The red figure crawled on all fours, looked around, and then stared blankly at Tianlu.

"Tianlu? Why did you call me out?"

"Come out and play together! The Qilin hasn't been around for a while, so the Bixie can come out and play with us in the shop."

Tianlu rushed forward with a grin and grabbed the other person in one go. Baijie raised his front paws, hesitated for a moment, then turned and moved to the other side to stick close to his brother.

The warmth emanating from both sides startled Bixie, his heart filled with complex emotions. Helplessly, he hugged his two younger brothers, his lips barely moving as he asked.

"Okay, so what should we play?"

Upon hearing this, Tianlu perked up and immediately wagged its tail excitedly, saying, "There are a lot of good things at home. Now that no one's watching, I can take Bixie to play with them all."

He ran to the side and started rummaging through drawers and cabinets, pulling out clothes, books, notebooks, and a whole bunch of random things.

Bixie and Baijie curiously gathered around to watch, and soon, Tianlu found a microphone and a matching speaker and brought them to them.

"This is called 'Hello OK'! It's really energetic when it sings, try it to ward off evil spirits!"

Tianlu turned on the power, tested the equipment, and then handed the microphone to Bixie.

"Uh... I'll give it a try."

Bixie took the microphone, the delicate feel of the plastic casing fascinating him. He brought the microphone to his lips, his breathing amplified by the speakers into a burst of static. He closed his eyes and began to sing a cappella.

"I am a Pixiu, and I worry about my brother every day."

The pleasant voice, amplified and embellished, echoed endlessly in the room; however, the distorted tone and the erratic, distorted melody quickly turned into a piercing, demonic sound!

Tianlu and Baijie instinctively leaned back, moving further away from the source of the vowel. Large beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, and their eardrums suffered unprecedented torment!

"—When will those idiots and lazybones remember me?"

"You sang quite well, but stop singing 'Bi Xie' (a type of folk song), let's go play something else!"

Tianlu forced a smile, leaned back forcefully, and took the microphone from Bixie's hand while keeping his head at a distance from the speaker.

The demonic sound that permeated the entire Deer Man Shop disappeared, and the two tense Pixiu brothers breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously.

"Let's go, let's ward off evil spirits. I'll take you to see another good thing."

Tianlu wiped away his cold sweat and hurriedly led his two brothers to run to other places. He left Hello OK behind, not daring to risk staying for even a second longer.

The screen turned,

Bixie wouldn't let go of the TV that was playing a movie, its body pressed against the TV cabinet, its voice muffled, "Tianlu Baijie, come quick, there are chickens to eat here."

Behind him,

The two brothers, sweating profusely, stared at him speechlessly. Tianlu moved his lips, "That's fake, Bixie... you're such a country bumpkin."

Shortly after,

The three brothers ran to the bathroom, where a white ceramic bathtub was filled with hot water. Bai Jie and Bi Xie tilted their heads slightly, while Tian Lu excitedly climbed up first, his claws splashing across the water and creating ripples.

"This is a jacuzzi that Rabbit Lord bought for the Four-Faced Beast. It's super high-end, but they never let me in before. Now I can finally try it out."

The three bodies were immersed in steaming water. Amidst the buzzing of mechanical operation, the Pixiu brothers' bodies trembled along with the backrests, and their voices even started vibrating.

"This...uh...uh...it feels so good...ahhhhhh."

Tianlu's body seemed to be on high frequency, and his voice was mixed with a strange tremor. The other two brothers were similar, each with their eyes closed and their necks slightly raised, enjoying themselves.

Outside the glass door, a dark figure slowly advanced, and then Walnut's familiar little face pressed against it, staring wide-eyed at the bathroom.

Tianlu groggily opened his eyes and saw the two of them staring at each other.

"Eh?"

……

Another scene change,

Walnut and Meimei stood in front of the three Pixiu. The two beasts' curious gazes were focused on Bixie, and they were full of interest in this newly appeared beast, asking questions all at once.

"Who are you, red dog? You look so familiar, you look just like two of my best friends."

Are you a new colleague? A new employee?

Tianlu waved his claws to interrupt their questions, then raised his twin demon-slaying swords, pointed at the demons, tilted his head up 45 degrees, and solemnly introduced them.

"Let me introduce you. This is my brother, Bixie. Like me and Baijie, he is a Pixiu, so of course we look alike."

Bixie's face darkened as he glared threateningly at the two men, his tone icy.

"Tianlu Baijie and I are brothers, but that has nothing to do with you. If you dare to tell anyone that I came here secretly, don't blame me for killing you."

The relaxed atmosphere was suddenly turned a bit oppressive by his words. Bai Jie awkwardly grabbed his tail and tugged at it, his voice a little weak.

"Don't be so fierce, Bixie..."

The two beasts were slightly stunned by what was said. Meimei reacted and became a little nervous, but Walnut patted his chest nonchalantly.

"Walnut knows, Walnut knows, it's a secret, Walnut's mouth is very tight, he would never tell anyone."

Meimei maintained her composure and nodded repeatedly.

"Ah... um! I'm just an ordinary little fox, I don't know anything."

"Then there's no problem!"

Tianlu looked around and, after the situation was cleared up, he immediately jumped onto the chair and happily raised one of his paws.

Let's play together and have a blast! Oh ho!

"Yeah yeah yeah!"

The walnuts cheered, raising their claws in celebration.

With their parents away, the little monsters in the deer shop suddenly started partying like wild horses.

Before we knew it, most of the day had passed, and the commotion in the shop gradually subsided.

In a lake in the wild,

Three Pixiu were soaking in ice water to cool their excited minds, while several aquatic catfish floated around them from time to time.

"Meimei is really something. Anyway, the Qilin won't be back for a long time, so why is she in such a hurry to pack up?" Tianlu complained, gliding across the water.

Ripples spread from his feet, shattering the reflections in the water, and the sunlight shining into the clear lake was swallowed up by the deep darkness.

Bixie tilted his head and looked at the two brothers with a turbulent gaze, the reflection in his pupils flickering uncertainly.

Now that we're all alone, it's a good opportunity.

It flicked its tail, splashing water, and parted its lips slightly, asking as if in casual conversation.

"Tianlu, Baijie, you've been here for almost five years now, haven't you? Don't you get bored staying in the same place all the time? Why don't you come with me to see some other places?"

The other two Pixiu were startled and turned to look at them. Tianlu tilted his head slightly in surprise, "Where is Bixie going?"

Three pairs of eyes met, each reflecting the other's image. A gentle breeze blew between them, and the ripples on the water seemed to separate the three brothers.

Bixie's expression was serious; he first conveyed his inner emotions through a distance while exchanging glances with his two brothers.

"As long as I'm with you, I'm willing to go to any lengths of travel with you."

The air fell silent for a moment, and the rustling of leaves in the forest could be clearly heard. The two Pixiu seemed unsure of what expression to make, their faces showing only a hint of bewilderment.

"Bixie, where did you learn that phrase? It's so cheesy." Tianlu looked into the other person's eyes, his voice full of doubt.

Bai Jie played another round, saying, "This feels really weird."

"I learned it from TV. By the way, are we the only ones bathing in this lake?" Pi Xie said, glancing around halfway through his sentence. Bai Jie and Tian Lu subconsciously looked around as well.

They didn't know when, but only the three brothers remained in the lake. The catfish that used to surface from time to time had disappeared, and the lake was completely silent.

"Hey, really? Where did all the others go?" Tianlu turned his head and looked around in confusion.

"It seems like they all ran away just now?" Bai Jie recalled, resting his chin on his hand.

Meanwhile, in the underworld...

The skeleton cat looked up at the huge, ferocious yellow and black beast claw in front of it. Its fur was glossy and attractive, and it still looked extraordinary despite being covered in dust for who knows how many years.

"Gurgle, gurgle!" She excitedly reached out and grabbed the fine leather.

At the bottom of the deep, dark lake, a pair of ferocious eyes suddenly opened, their scarlet pupils emitting a terrifying light.

The owner of these pupils had only a lonely head, with each strand of yellow and black hair standing up like steel needles, and the roaring water droplets from the gaping maw created waves.

"Who? Who dares to steal my body? Is it the Heavenly Court again? Damn bastards, I'll tear you to pieces the day I'm free!"

With each opening and closing of its enormous mouth, water from the bottom of the lake rushed into the head's mouth, as if it were falling into a bottomless abyss and disappearing.
