The afternoon sun shone on the Caiyun Mountains and onto a shimmering stream, where fish swam back and forth.

Suddenly, a series of splashing sounds rang out, and a group of various creatures were seen jumping into the river one after another. The local inhabitants were terrified by these uninvited guests and scattered in all directions.

"Everyone, come on down, the water temperature is just right." Yue Tian, ​​who had jumped into the river first, turned to the beast still on the shore and called out.

"Here I am!" Bai Jie rubbed his paws on Totoro's back, then leaped up suddenly, and with a splash, Bai Jie drew an arc in the air and fell into the water.

Water splashed everywhere, and droplets of water fell on the herd of animals on the bank. They cheered and rushed into the river after them.

Seeing this, Tianlu also wanted to jump into the river, but he was stopped by Bixie.

"Tianlu, wash yourself clean first, otherwise you'll be disliked when you go down," Bixie reminded helplessly. To be honest, he didn't want to be so blunt, but he had no choice. If he didn't say anything now, Tianlu would only be more depressed if he was disliked later.

Upon hearing this, Tianlu stiffened for a moment, then reluctantly withdrew his steps, while giving Huang Jiu a fierce glare.

Huang Jiu felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason. He looked around in confusion: What's going on? Is the river water too cold?

Tianlu was listlessly dragged upstream by Bixie, and then he was pushed into the water to be washed.

"Ouch~ Be gentle, Pixie, it hurts!" Tianlu cried out in pain as Pixie scrubbed him.

"Don't move around. These things on you are all dry. You can't wash them off without a lot of effort. Just bear with it." Bixie held Tianlu down and continued to scrub him.

Tianlu lay on the riverbank with tears in his eyes, enduring the pain in his body. The pent-up emotions in his heart grew stronger, waiting only for a trigger to erupt completely.

"Phew~ all done." Bixie breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Tianlu, who had returned to its pristine white state. Giving this guy a bath was really tiring; he kept groaning and fidgeting, which made Bixie expend a lot of effort to finally get him clean.

"Sniff, oh no, it still smells." Tianlu sniffed himself. Although the stench was very faint, the Pixiu's sensitive nose could still detect it clearly.

“Didn’t they give you a bottle of perfume in September? Use that,” Pixie said after thinking for a moment.

"No, no!" Tianlu shook his head vigorously. "That's dog perfume, I won't use it!"

"Shall I wash you again?" Bixie asked.

“Uh…” Tianlu was stunned. He recalled his previous experience of being scrubbed and washed. “I—I’ll just use perfume instead.”

In the end, Tianlu chose to follow his heart.

"Then you go find Baijie to play with first, I'll come find you guys after I've washed up." Bixie said after glancing at Tianlu speechlessly.

"Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm." Tianlu replied as he climbed up, taking out the perfume bottle as he did so.

"Pfft, pfft." Tianlu casually sprayed the perfume on himself twice, then tossed it to Bixie, saying, "Here, Bixie, this is for you." With that, Tianlu ran off.

Bixie instinctively raised its paw to catch the perfume, but by then, Tianlu had already run far away.

Watching his younger brother disappear from sight, Bixie looked down at the thing in his claws. His eyes changed, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

On the other side, Tianlu couldn't wait to run downstream along the river. He didn't smell bad anymore, so Baijie probably wouldn't dislike him anymore.

When Tianlu arrived near where Baijie and the other beasts were bathing, he suddenly slammed on the brakes and stopped. He stared blankly in the direction where Baijie was. There he saw Baijie, Yuetian, and Huang Jiu chatting and helping each other wash their bodies.

Seeing this, Tianlu felt like the sky was falling: how long had he been gone, and how had Baijie ended up with that damned skunk?!

With his emotions building up to the limit, Tianlu felt that if he didn't find a way to vent them soon, his mental state would collapse again, and this time it would be a major collapse.

Youyi looked around, and soon his gaze fell on the river beside him, and a good idea came to his mind.

The scene shifts to Bai Jie, who is looking at the shower gel in his hand with a speechless expression: "How come you guys even brought shower gel? And why didn't you give Tianlu Bixie a bottle when he left?"

"Ahem, well, I... forgot." Yue Tian coughed awkwardly and guiltily. He was a little worried that his boss would come back and beat him up, but looking at Bai Jie beside him, Yue Tian felt that he could still be saved: as long as he could make the third leader happy, he should say a few good words for him.

"Seriously, does this stuff even work? We're covered in paint, it'll be hard to wash off, right?" Bai Jie asked, shaking the shower gel in his paw.

"Of course, I've tested it myself, and it works," Yue Tian replied confidently.

Bai Jie glanced at him and said, "Do you guys do this kind of thing often? And you even personally tested it and it works."

"Yeah, we do it all the time..." Yue Tian spread his hands. "Actually, this time was alright. We've even put pee in water guns before."

Bai Jie turned his head in horror: "So ferocious?!"

"Well... but... some of the beasts had such a strong urine smell that they didn't wash it off, and they got beaten up when they got home. After that, no beast dared to do it again."

Bai Jie's lips twitched: the group of beasts in front of him was definitely a bunch of unruly kids from the village, otherwise they wouldn't have done something so heinous.

Yue Tian and Bai Jie were chatting, while Huang Jiu fawned over them, helping them scrub their backs. Unbeknownst to the three beasts, a malevolent figure was quietly approaching from underwater.

With a whoosh, Tianlu suddenly emerged from behind the three beasts, grabbing Baijie and Yuetian with its two claws, while biting Huang Jiu's nape.

"Ouch!" Huang Jiu let out a miserable scream. It was clear that Tianlu was doing this on purpose.

With a splashing sound, Tianlu grabbed the three beasts and dragged them forcefully toward the middle of the river. During the dragging, Huang Jiu was unfortunately pulled into the water.

Bai Jie and Yue Tian struggled fiercely in Tian Lu's claws, but how could they possibly be stronger than Tian Lu? In the end, it was Yue Tian who was also pushed into the water.

"Tianlu, stop messing around! I can't swim!" Baijie shouted in a panic. The water level where they were was already higher than Baijie could stand up. If Tianlu let go now, Baijie suspected he would drown.

"Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo!" Tianlu couldn't speak because it was biting Huang Jiu's tail, so it could only make a series of whimpering sounds.

Although he didn't hear a single word clearly, Bai Jie still understood what Tian Lu meant: "I'll call, I'll call, brother, please stop fooling around, I really can't swim!"

Upon hearing Bai Jie call him "brother," Tian Lu's eyes narrowed with delight. Just when Bai Jie thought he had escaped a calamity, he suddenly felt his body sink. Tian Lu had released his grip.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!" Bai Jie's body sank uncontrollably into the water. He futilely thrashed at the surface, trying to struggle one more time, but unfortunately, it was all in vain.

Bai Jie's body completely disappeared into the water, and after a string of bubbles rose to the surface of the river, there was no more movement.

Underwater, Bai Jie closed his eyes in despair, utterly bewildered: Logically speaking, even if Tian Lu wanted to play a trick on him, he shouldn't have gone this far. Why did it turn out like this?!

Filled with doubt and fear, Bai Jie prepared himself to choke on the water, but he did not feel any discomfort.

"Huh? What's going on?" Just as he was completely bewildered, he was suddenly grabbed by a claw and pulled up.

Tianlu pulled Baijie out of the water and hugged him tightly. Seeing the bewildered look on Baijie's face, he couldn't help but chuckle mischievously. "Pfft, hahaha, hehehehehehe, Baijie, you don't know, do you? We Pixiu are not afraid of being submerged in water."

Seeing Tianlu's mischievous smile and hearing his words, Baijie's face flushed red instantly: I, how could I have forgotten about this!

Seeing Bai Jie blushing in his arms, and glancing at the wolf and weasel that had just floated up and were coughing up water, Tian Lu felt instantly relieved and his mind was clear. The negative emotions that had been weighing on his heart were swept away, and he had never felt so good.

But the next second, with a thud, Tianlu was punched into the water by Baijie.

"How dare you trick me!" Enraged, Bai Jie shoved Tian Lu into the water and gave him a brutal beating. His claws swung so hard they made a whooshing sound, which frightened the two beasts who had just recovered.

"Awoooooo, please be gentle, I can't take it anymore!" Tianlu howled as he was being beaten. He tried to move his limbs, but he still couldn't stop himself from sinking into the water.

"I don't care about all that, I won't drown anyway!" Bai Jie continued to beat Tian Lu relentlessly, and the two beasts' figures gradually sank and eventually disappeared into the water.

Yue Tian and Huang Jiu, who witnessed the whole thing, were dumbfounded. They really didn't expect things to turn out this way.

"So, Bai Jie can be this scary when he gets angry," Huang Jiu muttered to himself. He had thought this Pixiu had a very good temper.

"Don't call me Bai Jie, call me Third Master!" Yue Tian punched Huang Jiu as a lesson.

After some time, when Bixie came to find his two younger brothers after taking a bath, he saw Baijie sulking and Tianlu carefully serving him.

Bixie was full of questions: It's only been a short time since we last met, what happened again?
