The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Early morning, somewhere in Caiyun Mountain.

"This time we're filming a scene from the underworld, right? Director, are we going to go to the underworld for actual filming?" Bai Jie looked at Puss in Boots with a slightly expectant expression.

"Uh... that's impossible. Going to the underworld is too much trouble. We'll use a green screen for filming this time."

"Huh?" Bai Jie let out a disappointed "Ah," and then said unwillingly, "Isn't there Di Ting? Even with him there, it's still not working?"

“There’s really nothing we can do about it. Living beings need passports to go to the underworld. There are too many beasts in the crew, and we don’t know when we’ll be able to get them all sorted out.” Puss in Boots spread his paws, looking like he was helpless too. “However… although we can’t go to the underworld, I heard that Didi will bring some local specialties from the underworld. You can look forward to that.”

"Local specialties?" Bai Jie recalled the special delicacies of the underworld in the comics and animations, and couldn't help but shudder: Wouldn't eating those things really cause any problems? Oh well, at worst, he could just let Tianlu go first.

"What local specialty is it? Is it delicious?" Speak of the devil, and he appears. Just as we were thinking of Tianlu, he came over with his eyes shining.

"Idiot, how many times have I told you not to eat everything you see!" Bixie smacked Tianlu on the head violently. With both of his younger brothers present, he naturally couldn't be absent.

Just then, the roar of a car engine suddenly came from afar. The four beasts looked up and saw a luxury RV driving over.

The RV slowly pulled up in front of the four beasts. A black paw pushed open the door, and Di Ting stepped out: "Good morning, everyone."

"Uh... Listen, is there something you're unhappy about with the house the production crew arranged for you?" Puss in Boots couldn't help but ask after looking at the RV.

“I’m very satisfied. I only drive this car because it was a gift from my owner,” Di Ting explained, seeing through Puss in Boots’ thoughts.

"Ah...is that so...your master is so good to you." Puss in Boots' lips twitched, and he silently shut his mouth and said nothing.

"Oh right!" Di Ting suddenly remembered something. He turned around and walked back to the RV. Not long after, he dragged out a beast with a very unwilling look on its face.

“Bai Ze!” x4.

"Uh... good morning..." Bai Ze looked at the four beasts staring at him in surprise, and after a long pause, finally managed to utter a sentence.

"Didn't you finish filming your scenes? Why are you still here, and with Di Ting no less?" Bai Jie was incredulous: Given Bai Ze's personality, if he didn't immediately go home after get off work, could it be...?

"Don't think like that! How could such a thing happen!" Bai Ze couldn't help but shout again: This kid really has a big problem, he's even imagining the scene.

"You're yelling 'Hundred Solutions' again!" Tianlu instantly bristled.

The evil-repelling creature then extended its claws.

"Ugh!" Bai Ze choked on his breath, feeling so frustrated he wanted to die.

"Oh, alright, alright, it was I who wanted to keep you here for a couple more days," Di Ting quickly said, trying to smooth things over.

"I think I'll stay in the car. Di Ting, don't try to drag me out." Bai Zesheng turned around and went back to the car with a sense of despair.

Di Ting opened his mouth as if to offer some advice, but sensing that Bai Ze was serious this time, he ultimately didn't say anything.

"Ahem, well... let's hurry up and get ready to film." Puss in Boots wiped her sweat; she almost thought a fight was about to break out.

As they walked towards the venue, Puss in Boots quietly approached Bai Jie and whispered, "Why is your brother so hostile towards Bai Ze?"

"Hmm...it's probably because the first impression was too bad," Bai Jie replied after thinking for a moment.

"A bad first impression?" Puss in Boots asked, puzzled.

"Ah, it's like this..." Bai Jie recounted how they met Bai Ze.

After listening, Puss in Boots understood: No wonder Pipi and Pixie disliked Bai Ze; it was all their own doing.

Under a huge green screen, rows of shops are neatly arranged. Behind the shops, the assistants of Di Ting play the role of bosses. They sell all sorts of strange and unusual things, such as materials for the underworld, custom-made grave mounds, and urns for ashes. In short, they have everything that is related to the dead.

Di Ting led the four-legged rabbit and Tian Lu through the shops, saying, "This is the Underworld Commercial Street, the Ghost Market."

"What kind of rubbish did they buy?" the four-legged creature complained.

Just then, a shout came from the side: "Would you like to take a picture as a souvenir, sir?"

The three beasts who came to visit instinctively looked at the ghost that had spoken.

"Free photo booth experience for a limited time!" The ghost gestured to the store behind it.

"Photo booth!" x2

Rabbit Lord and Tianlu's eyes lit up at the same time.

"It's free!" Although the focus was different, the strange creature was indeed attracted.

"I want to take pictures! I want to take pictures!" The three beasts rushed into the store one after another.

"Alright! Everyone, let's take a break."

As soon as Puss in Boots finished speaking, all the animals in the crew rushed to the shops.

Besides various items for the dead, this large group of shops also sells many underworld snacks, all of which are genuine goods brought by Di Ting.

"Don't rush, don't rush, everyone gets a share, everyone gets a share!" The assistants of Di Ting were busy dealing with the surging beast horde.

Items and snacks were continuously handed out, and the beasts that received them happily walked away. Under the green screen, the scene was lively and noisy, making it truly resemble a market.

As Tianlu mingled among the coming and going beasts, a fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

"Sniff, wow! It smells so sweet!" Tianlu reflexively sniffed the air and then looked toward the source of the smell with shining eyes.

"Two cups of Oolong Peach Meng Po Soup Tea, one with full sugar and no ice, and one with half sugar and coconut jelly." Two female ghosts stood in front of a shop, one of them speaking.

"Okay." The ghost behind the shop picked up two cups of Meng Po soup tea, shook them vigorously twice, and then handed them out.

The two female ghosts happily accepted the Meng Po soup and ran away laughing.

"Thank you for your patronage." The ghost behind the shop said this last greeting before looking ahead. Then he paused and let out a sigh.

Suddenly, Tianlu appeared in front of the shop, drooling and looking at A Piao expectantly. "I want to drink too."

"If it's your first time here, I recommend the classic Pearl Meng Po Soup Tea." The ghost flashed by and quickly took out a cup of Meng Po Soup Tea, handing it to Tianlu.

Tianlu raised its paw to take it, "Ah~ I'll have a bite."

With a slurp, Tianlu bit the straw and took a big gulp. The next second, his expression froze. "Huh? What's this?"

Tianlu looked blankly at the cup in his hand. "Meng Po soup? I'll have a sip."

His foodie instincts kicked in, and Tianlu took another big gulp of the Meng Po soup, and the scene repeated itself...

"Hey, what's this? Meng Po soup? Let me have a sip."

"What is this? Meng Po soup? Have a sip."

"The Meng Po soup? I'll have a sip."

"Take a bite."

"Take a bite."

Tianlu seemed to be stuck in an infinite loop, like he was stuck in a bug. When Baijie and Bixie found him, they saw Tianlu standing there blankly with a drink in his hand.

"Tianlu? Tianlu?" Baijie waved its claws in front of Tianlu, but it had no effect. Tianlu still stared wide-eyed ahead with its mouth agape.

"What's wrong with this idiot now?" Bixie tapped Tianlu's head, looking quite helpless.

"What happened? Why is Pipi like this?" The Four-Unlikes and Rabbit Lord walked over from not far away, and the Four-Unlikes squatted down and asked.

"We don't know either. It seems like he's gone mad," Bai Jie said. He snatched the drink from Tianlu's claw: "Hmm... no reaction at all. He's definitely gone mad."

"Let me take a look." The four-legged beast picked up Tianlu in a princess carry and examined him carefully. Rabbit Lord also stepped forward to check, but after looking at it for a long time, the two beasts still couldn't figure it out.

"Did you drink the Meng Po soup?" Suddenly, Di Ting's voice came from the side. The beasts looked over and saw Di Ting taking a sip of the same drink that Tian Lu had just held in his claws.

"It's alright, it's diluted. Living beings will experience temporary amnesia if they drink it."

As soon as Di Ting finished speaking, Tian Lu, who was in the arms of the Qilin, suddenly woke up with a start. "Uh, what happened?"

"Idiot, you've been eating random things again," Bixie said, exasperated.

Bai Jie stroked his chin, looking at the Meng Po soup tea in his paws, lost in thought: This plot... seems familiar...

Turning our gaze, on the other side, Puss in Boots and Xiaohang were studying how to break down the footage they had just filmed. As they watched and discussed, Puss in Boots flipped over with its paw and inadvertently opened a video that had just been recorded by a camera.

In the scene, Tianlu is holding a cup of Meng Po soup and repeatedly taking a sip, then looking around blankly, then finding the Meng Po soup, taking another sip, and looking blank again. This process almost made Puss in Boots think the player was broken at first glance.

After a careful inspection, Puss in Boots determined that it wasn't a problem with the machine. She quickly fast-forwarded through the video and pulled up the scenes recorded by several nearby cameras.

After learning the whole story, Puss in Boots and Xiaohang looked at each other in bewilderment.

“This part seems pretty good, how about… we keep it?” Xiaohang suggested.

“I think it’s a good idea,” Puss in Boots nodded in agreement.

When the three Pixiu learned of this news, they were dumbfounded.

"Um, no, director, Pixie and I were there at the time, can this shot be used?" Bai Jie couldn't help but speak up first, while he was also thinking to himself: I knew why I felt a sense of familiarity back then.

“It’s not a big problem…” Puss in Boots waved his paw. “After the four-legged creature picked up Pippi, there were a few cameras that just didn’t capture the two of you. Adding the previous shots, we can basically just do a simple reshoot and it’ll be OK.”

Bai Jie: So, his height is what made all the difference?
