The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

"Waaah, I'm not clean anymore~" Tianlu looked at Baijie with teary eyes, hoping that his younger brother would come over and comfort him.

However, Bai Jie is clearly not the kind of beast that understands human feelings.

"Tianlu, don't come any closer, it stinks!" Baijie covered his nose and took two steps back in disgust.

Tianlu was struck dumb: My brother doesn't want me anymore!

"Alright, Tianlu, you'll be fine once you've washed yourself clean."

Tianlu felt a paw pat him on the back, and at the same time, he heard the words of Bixie entering his ears.

Tianlu turned around with tears in his eyes, "Bixie, you're still the best to me... um..."

Tianlu froze, staring blankly at Bixie's face. Bixie had somehow found a towel and wrapped it around its face, covering its mouth and nose. Even so, Bixie had one paw covering its nose, as if afraid the towel would fall off.

"Bixie! Even you despise me! Awwwww!" Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, Tianlu burst into tears.

"Stop howling, there's nothing I can do about the stench you're wearing." Bixie comforted Tianlu helplessly. As for asking him to take off the towel, that was out of the question. He cared about his younger brother, but he wasn't here to suffer.

Bai Jie glanced at the commotion of Tian Lu and then ignored him: Tian Lu is a very easygoing guy, this kind of thing will be fine in a while, besides, we have the warding-off evil spirits.

Bai Jie got up and walked towards the wolf cub and Huang Jiu. The two of them had been dragged back by Bi Xie and given a good beating, and they were still in so much pain that they couldn't move.

As the distance closed, Bai Jie's ears twitched, and he clearly heard the conversation between the two small animals.

"Boss, ouch! We got beaten up so badly today, one chicken isn't enough, we need two." Huang Jiu gasped as he spoke.

"Hiss, no way! Where am I going to get so many chickens for you? You promised one, so it's one chicken!" the little wolf cub resolutely refused.

"You didn't say there would be two, no, three Pixiu! If I had known that, I would have run away long ago!"

"Uh, this..." The little wolf cub was embarrassed. He was so focused on watching Totoro that he hadn't noticed the three Pixiu at all.

Speak of the devil, and he appears! The little wolf cub had just thought of Totoro and his brother when these two suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you guys to be so weak, you were taken down so quickly." Cat Dragon mocked gloatingly.

"Mimi mimi mimi mimi. (No need for the little brother to say more, how can ordinary spirits compare to divine beasts?)" Totoro said.

"Yes, brother is absolutely right." Cat Dragon nodded in agreement.

"What are you two babbling about!" The little wolf cub bristled. Although he couldn't understand what the tortoise was saying, he could guess it wasn't anything nice. "If you two hadn't called the Pixiu as reinforcements, I wouldn't be in such a miserable state. If you're so capable, don't call outsiders, let's have a one-on-one fight!"

"Are you talking about me?" Bai Jie's voice suddenly appeared, almost scaring Huang Jiu and the little wolf cub out of their wits.

They turned their heads and realized that Bai Jie had appeared beside them at some point.

"What are you doing here?!" The little wolf cub, who had been so confident just moments before, was now trembling with fear. There was no way around it; the evil spirit had been too ruthless, so ruthless that the cub couldn't help but feel a chill whenever he saw the Pixiu.

Huang Jiu, on the other hand, simply closed his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and lay down on the spot, readily pretending to be dead.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to fight you." Seeing the two beasts' tension, Bai Jie comforted them.

"Really?" The little wolf cub was skeptical, while Huang Jiu lay on the ground without moving at all.

"Pfft, hahaha! You guys are even afraid of Bai Jie? Where did your fearless attitude go?" Mao Long couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What do you mean? Shouldn't I be afraid of him?" The little wolf cub looked puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Totoro chuckled, but Hyakuya remained expressionless as he watched the two laughing, pondering whether he should go up and punch them.

"So what exactly happened?" Huang Jiu couldn't keep up the act any longer. His curiosity overcame his fear, and he opened his eyes to ask.

"He's only ten years old this year, he doesn't have much fighting power, he probably can't even beat you guys," Cat Dragon replied with a grin.

"Huh?" x2

The little wolf cub and Huang Jiu both looked at Bai Jie.

Bai Jie took a deep breath, smiled, and looked back at them. "I may not be able to beat you, but I can get my brother to beat you up."

Huang Jiu, the little wolf cub, fell silent in unison: Okay, we still can't afford to mess with them.

"By the way, I still don't know your name. What's your name?" Bai Jie changed the subject and asked the little wolf cub.

"Ah, my name is Yue Tian. My parents said I was born on the night of a full moon, and I let out a long howl to the sky, so I was named Yue Tian." Yue Tian introduced himself with his head held high.

Bai Jie twitched his lips: Isn't this just forcibly splitting two characters off?

"I've finished introducing myself. So what's your name? And what about your two older brothers?" Yue Tian said, glancing subtly at Tianlu Bixie. He didn't dare to ask those two directly; what if he got beaten up again?

“My name is Bai Jie. The one who beat you up is called Bi Xie, and the other one is called Tian Lu.”

“Uh…” Yue Tian was at a loss for words: Did you really have to emphasize this point?

The atmosphere became awkward again, and neither Bai Jie nor Yue Tian knew how to continue their conversation.

Finally, Huang Jiu broke the silence, "Um, aren't you going to ask me what my name is?"

“I know your name, Huang Jiu. I heard Yue Tian call you before.” After Bai Jie finished speaking, the scene fell silent again.

The five beasts looked at each other in bewilderment. It has to be said that Bai Jie's ability to kill the conversation was truly remarkable.

A crow flew overhead, cawing loudly, which made the atmosphere among the five beasts even more awkward. Just when Bai Jie was about to lose his temper, someone arrived to break the existing stalemate.

"You are... Tianlu!" A shocked voice came. Baijie turned his head and saw a fox-eared girl with nine tails looking at Tianlu and Bixie with a ghost-like expression.

Upon seeing this person, Bai Jie also wore a look of utter disbelief: "Aren't you from the next film set? What are you doing here?!"

In September, Tianlu looked her up and down in disbelief, repeatedly confirming whether this was the Pixiu she knew.

To be honest, if it weren't for Tianlu's distinctive horn, Jiuyue really wouldn't have recognized him. Tianlu was in such a sorry state that his once pure white Pixiu with blue patterns had turned into a colorful mess, and his fragrance was covered up by all sorts of strange smells. If it weren't for the horn, it would be a miracle if anyone could recognize him.

"What...what have you all done?!" September looked around at the little monsters lying all over the ground: I just came over out of curiosity following the smell, and I actually saw such a tragic scene.

"Hey, it's September. What brings you here?" Tianlu scratched his head and thought hard for a moment before finally remembering who the person in front of him was.

"You know her?"

"How do you know her, Tianlu!?"

The first sentence was spoken by Bixie, while the second sentence was uttered by Baijie, who had just rushed over. It was obvious that neither of them knew Jiuyue.

"Huh? We met during that time in the city? Didn't I tell you?" Tianlu asked blankly, tilting his head.

"You definitely forgot to mention that, didn't you?" Bai Jie covered her face: "So that's why you were running around every day back then. You were going to hang out with the lead actors from the other film crew."

"Wait a minute!" Bai Jie suddenly realized a blind spot. He remembered that when they were in the city, Tianlu would occasionally bring home two pieces of gold. At first, he thought Tianlu had robbed a gold shop, but later Tianlu said that someone else gave them to him: Could this "someone else" be...?

"Tianlu, tell the truth, when we were still in the city, was the gold you brought home related to her?" Baijie asked Tianlu, pointing at Jiuyue.

"I didn't give it to you, my friend gave it to me," September hurriedly explained, waving her hands.

“Yes, yes, the one who gave the gold was a jade rabbit, just like the Rabbit God, it came down from the Moon Palace,” Tianlu added.

Bai Jie was speechless: I originally thought some rich person was trying to ride on the Pixiu's good fortune by giving you the gold, but I never expected that you, Tianlu, would also be a gold digger.

"By the way, September, you still haven't told me why you're here?" Tianlu asked again.

"Ah, I heard there are Pixiu here that you can pet, so I came," September replied straightforwardly.

Bai Jie: Isn't that a bit too blunt?

"Huh? Is that so? How come I didn't know?" Tianlu looked bewildered.

"Idiot, you forgot the script for the next episode." Bixie patted Tianlu's dim-witted head.

"Uh, right." After Bixie's reminder, Tianlu realized: the next part of the plot seems to be called "Fancy Skinning".

"By the way, I remember you were the lead actor in the film next door, right? How much did you get paid for your cameo role?" Bai Jie asked Jiu Yue curiously.

“Um…” September touched her nose. “Actually, it wasn’t much. I mainly came for the Pixiu. Director Puss in Boots told me that the other extras who participated in this scene didn’t get much money either, so I was too embarrassed to ask for more.”

Bai Jie's lips twitched: Director, is it really necessary to go to such lengths to save money? You're just using the gimmick of petting a Pixiu to lower other people's wages.

"You've all asked so many questions, now it's my turn to ask. So what exactly happened?" September asked the three Pixiu, pointing at the group of monsters lying on the ground.

"Uh... here's what happened..." Bai Jie organized her thoughts and told Jiu Yue what had happened, including Tian Lu's embarrassing moment of being knocked unconscious by a fart.

"Hahaha! You used to always tell me how amazing you were, how come you've fallen like this?" September pointed at Tianlu and couldn't help but laugh.

"You're not allowed to laugh!" Tianlu shouted, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws.

Seeing Tianlu about to pounce on her, Jiuyue hurriedly covered her nose and took two steps back. "Hey! Don't come any closer! You still smell like that."

"Aaaaaah! I'll eat you up!" Tianlu was so angry that he wanted to rush towards Jiuyue, but Bixie stopped him. "Stop messing around, Tianlu. Isn't this your own fault?"

Suddenly, there was a soft "pfft" sound. Tianlu subconsciously turned around and saw Baijie covering his mouth, trying hard to suppress his laughter.

"Aaaaaah! Bai Jie, you're laughing at me too!" Tian Lu's composure crumbled instantly upon seeing this.

"Alright, alright, stop wailing, Tianlu..." Bixie helplessly tried to soothe Tianlu again, while inwardly complaining: I finally managed to calm him down, and now he's acting like this again.
