The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Before he knew it, the New Year had passed. This was the most fulfilling New Year that Bai Jie had ever had since he transmigrated to this world. Unlike previous New Years, when he had no real feeling except for having a good meal with Tianlu and Bixie.

During this Spring Festival, Baijie Tianlu Bixie was dragged around the entire Caiyun Mountain by Yuetian and had a blast. He also participated in many village activities, such as lion dances, skits, and flower drum operas.

In short, Bai Jie was very satisfied with the New Year, but now that the New Year is over, it's time for the crew to resume filming.

At the Deer Man Shop in Caiyun Mountain, a group of newly arrived actors stood together. Puss in Boots looked around to make sure no lead actor was missing. Suddenly, her gaze fell on a chubby brown creature that resembled a deer.

"...Who are you?" Puss in Boots asked hesitantly, though she already knew the answer in her heart but still couldn't believe it.

Faced with Puss in Boots' question, the veins on the forehead of the chubby creature, who had gained a lot of weight over the New Year, seemed to throb twice. The rabbit beside him also broke out in a cold sweat, its face clearly showing its guilty conscience.

The Four-Faced Beast took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down before saying, "Director, I am the Four-Faced Beast."

Upon hearing this, Puss in Boots remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Four-Legged Beast, I know you're a good cook, but you should still be moderate."

The four-legged creature is a metaphor for not wanting to speak.

"That director, actually it was me who insisted that the Four-Faced Beast eat so much, it's my fault." Rabbit hurriedly came out to explain for the Four-Faced Beast, his expression showing a hint of self-reproach.

Puss in Boots nodded happily: "I understand, I understand, caring for love, cough! Caring for friends, you know." He almost let slip, so Puss in Boots quickly coughed to cover it up.

Bai Jie glanced at Puss in Boots: I didn't expect you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be a shipper.

"Alright, let me introduce the new actors to everyone first." Ignoring Bai Jie's strange look, Puss in Boots changed the subject.

Tianlu looked around blankly: "New actor? Where is he?"

The other beasts also looked around, but they couldn't find the so-called new actor anywhere. Just as the beasts were wondering, an annoyed voice came from below: "Where are you looking? Look down!"

A group of beasts all lowered their heads, and saw a red fur ball with ram horns and a human face jumping around on the ground looking annoyed.

"So you're here. I didn't expect you to be so short," Tianlu said with a sudden realization after seeing the red ball.

Red Ball was furious: "You're not much taller than me, you stinky little devil! Can't you even see this? Trying to show off that you're taller than me, huh!"

Tianlu scratched his head and said, "I didn't." He had just habitually looked up at the beast and hadn't noticed what was below.

"Speaking of which, who exactly are you, little red ball? I've never seen a mythical beast like you before!" Rabbit Lord squatted down and curiously poked the red ball, asking.

Upon hearing this, the red ball immediately bristled: "You're the red ball! I'm the infamous Taotie! Taotie! If you dare to be disrespectful again, I'll eat you up!"

"Eating you is Tianlu's line," Baijie blurted out unconsciously.

Taotie was taken aback by these words. Before he could react, Tianlu, who was a beat slower to react, suddenly slapped his forehead and pointed at him in surprise, exclaiming, "You're Taotie?!"

"Uh, of course it's Grandpa me. What, scared?" Taotie was a little confused by the two brothers' reactions, but he still reflexively replied after hearing Tianlu's question.

Tianlu's face was full of disbelief: "How could you possibly be a Taotie? You don't look like him at all."

Taotie became enraged upon hearing this: "I am Taotie! One of the Four Fiends without a doubt, how dare you say I am not?"

Tianlu snorted: "Hmph! Don't try to fool me. I've seen Taotie before. It's no smaller than my original form, and it's incredibly strong. It looks very chewy... uh, it looks very troublesome."

Taotie, who was about to get angry, stopped in his tracks: This... this Pixiu is quite good at talking.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Tianlu's next words nearly made him furious.

"Look at you, you're as thin as a red ball, you look so weak, how can you resemble a Taotie?"

Tianlu's words pierced Taotie's heart like an arrow, hitting his sore spot precisely, making Taotie so angry that his lips trembled and he couldn't even speak.

“Um, he’s such a glutton.” Puss in Boots finally got a chance to interject. She had tried to introduce him several times before, but these guys had interrupted her each time.

The director personally confirmed Taotie's identity, leaving Tianlu somewhat bewildered: "He really is Taotie?"

Bai Jie slapped Tianlu's dim-witted head and said, "Don't use your impressions to identify beasts. Have you forgotten the legend that Taotie ate its own body?"

"Huh? It seems so." Tianlu tilted his head, his eyes revealing a glint of great intelligence. The next second, he turned to Taotie and said, "I didn't expect you to be so stupid as to eat your own body. I thought it was just something those mud people were spreading."

Upon hearing this, Taotie, who was already quite angry, completely lost his composure. He bared his teeth and claws and leaped up, lunging at Tianlu: "I'll fight you to the death!"

With a bang, the Taotie was sent flying by Tianlu like a ball.

"So weak." Tianlu looked at his claws and blurted out unconsciously.

The Taotie, who had just rolled twice on the ground, was so angry that his vision went black: "You'd better wait until I find my body before we fight again!"

Listening to Taotie's furious roar, Bai Jie glanced at Tian Lu: "Your ability to argue with people has improved."

The scene shifts to a forest in Caiyun Mountain, where a red, fluffy creature blocks the way for Tianlu and the Qilin: "Hey! This mountain is mine! These trees are mine! If you want to pass, leave some wine and hahahahahahaha!"

Almost the instant the red fur ball burst into laughter, a deer hoof came flying straight at it. With a thud, a red shadow flew out and crashed into a tree. Only then did a click from outside the arena belatedly arrive.

"Hiss~ Ah~ Fatty Deer, you did this on purpose, didn't you?!" Taotie slid down from the tree and fell to the ground in a sorry state. He got up with a grimacing look and roared at the four-legged beast.

"Sorry, I didn't realize it at first." The four-legged creature's apology was perfunctory and expressionless.

Taotie was furious: "What do you mean? You kicked me before the director yelled 'cut' and you're still acting so rudely!"

"Hahahaha, who told you to call the four-legged creature a fat deer? And you always laugh because of that. You deserve it." Tianlu laughed gleefully, feeling inexplicably happy to see Taotie get its comeuppance.

Taotie, his face full of displeasure and his tone sharp, retorted, "What's wrong with me laughing a couple of times?!"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing!" Puss in Boots rubbed his head, looking exasperated.

When the director spoke, Tianlu and Taotie both snorted and turned their heads away.

Puss in Boots sighed helplessly: "Sigh~ Peach, if it really doesn't work, let's try a different version of the story."

"No way!" Taotie jumped up in fright. The other version of the story was too terrifying; it was practically torture for him.

Puss in Boots sighed, "Then you should at least film properly and not burst out laughing."

"It's just that this deer is too fat and even a movie star. Oh well, I'll restrain myself, and I'll definitely pass the test." Taotie said with a smirk.

The four-legged creature, which hadn't said much the whole time, silently decided to kick harder during filming later.

When the morning's filming was finished and the lunch break began, a deep hoof print appeared on Taotie's body. It goes without saying who left it, and it looks like it won't disappear anytime soon.

"Hi, I have a question for you." During lunch, Bai Jie poked Tao Tao, who had just finished collecting her lunchbox, and said.

"Don't touch me, I have nothing to say to a little brat like you." Tao Tao's sullen face twitched, it seemed she was taking out her anger at Tianlu on Bai Jie.

Bai Jie followed Tao Tao with an innocent look on his face: "I was just curious and wanted to ask you something. It's not like I provoked you."

"Hehe." Tao Tao left two words and continued hopping forward. However, not long after, he tragically discovered that Bai Jie could walk faster than he could hop. He couldn't very well roll, could he? Otherwise, people would think he was afraid of this little brat.

Thinking of this, Tao Tao simply stopped and turned to face Bai Jie: "Speak, little brat, what exactly do you want?"

Bai Jie didn't pay attention to the impulsiveness in Tao Tao's tone. He just asked curiously, "You have a biological son, right? I want to ask how you gave birth to him without a body?"

Yes, that's right. Bai Jie came all the way here just to ask this. To be honest, he was originally hesitant about whether to come or not since he wasn't familiar with Tao Tao. However, in the end, curiosity won out.

"It's none of your business how my son came to be. By the way, how did you know I had a child?" Tao Tao rolled her eyes, her tone becoming increasingly unfriendly.

Bai Jie answered naturally, "Because I've read the script."

Tao Tao had a look on her face that said, "You're kidding me."

"I really have read the script, really." Bai Jie's face showed no guilt, only frankness. He was telling the truth; he had indeed read the script, just not in this world.

Tao Tao still looked completely unconvinced: "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Don't try to fool me with this excuse."

"Think whatever you want, but how exactly did you give birth? Hermaphroditism? Individual fission? Or something else?" Bai Jie didn't argue with Tao Tao; he continued with his own questions.

Tao Tao snorted dismissively, turned around and left: "You won't even tell me the truth, why should I tell you? Goodbye." With that, Tao Tao walked away, looking as if she had won a victory.

Watching Tao Tao walk away, Bai Jie sighed and looked up at the sky with a worried expression: "I told you the truth, but do you expect me to say that I'm a time traveler and that we're all comic book characters in my world? You wouldn't believe me anyway."
