The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".
Chapter 80 The Superstar Phoenix Makes its Debut
The city was bustling with activity, and the streets were teeming with people, among whom one could occasionally spot individuals with animal-like features.
A ten-yuan note lay quietly in a dark corner of the street, unnoticed by anyone among the passersby.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, lifting the banknotes on the ground. They twirled through the air, passing over the heads of the crowd, and finally drifted towards a child holding a puppy.
With a slap, the banknote landed on the puppy's face. He raised his paw to remove the banknote, revealing a pair of helpless blue eyes. A clear, childlike voice rang out, and the puppy spoke.
"Why do banknotes keep hitting my face? There's more than just me here!" Bai Jie complained as he stuffed the banknotes into the pocket of the child holding him. He was dressed in an adorable dinosaur costume, with his signature horn covered, so passersby didn't recognize him.
Another gust of wind blew by, this time carrying the aroma of food from roadside stalls. With a gulp, the boy holding Baijie swallowed hard. Touching the ten yuan that had just been stuffed into his pocket, he couldn't help but say, "Baijie, let's go buy something to eat."
Bai Jie looked up at his older brother, and in his eyes was Tian Lu's current appearance: a head of smooth white hair, a horn with a forked end growing out from it and extending backward, the place where human ears should have been replaced by the original beast ears, and a pair of emerald green eyes that flashed, revealing a longing light.
"By the way, didn't you just eat? Are you hungry again?" Bai Jie said to Tian Lu, who had transformed into human form, his tone quite helpless.
Tianlu wiped the drool from his mouth, his eyes shining as he stared at the various snacks sold at the roadside stalls, his craving clearly written on his face.
"Uh, okay, then buy me one too." Bai Jie followed Tian Lu's gaze to the snacks, and his mouth involuntarily started to water. He was a foodie too, but not as extreme as Tian Lu.
Feifei, who had been following Tianlu around the corner, tugged at Tianlu's trouser leg and said, "Buy me some cat food while you're at it, I think that place is pretty good." As she spoke, she raised her paw and pointed to a pet store.
Tianlu glanced at the ten yuan in his hand, then turned his gaze to Baijie: "That Baijie, ten yuan doesn't seem enough."
Bai Jie pulled his phone out of the pocket of his dinosaur costume and said irritably, "Fine, I'll pay the bill, okay?"
"Yay! Bai Jie is the best!" Tianlu cheered and ran towards the food stall, with Fei Fei following closely behind.
On a bustling street, a child was happily eating with a cat and a dog.
At the same time, three figures appeared at the end of the street. One of them, except for the different colors of the patterns on his eyes and ears, was eight parts similar to Tianlu's human form. He was none other than Bixie. The other two were the Qilin and Rabbit God in disguise.
"We've arrived, so I let them play around here." Pixie said, looking around for his younger brother and the cat.
Rabbit God glanced around at the crowd and, taking advantage of his height, quickly found Tianlu, who was parked in front of a snack stall.
“Bie Xie! Your brother is over there, I saw him.”
Hearing Rabbit Lord's words, Bixie followed his gaze and saw Tianlu carrying a bag of snacks in one hand and eating skewers with his mouth full of oil in the other. Baijie was perched on his shoulder with a chicken wing in his mouth, and even Feifei, who was following at Tianlu's feet, was holding a skewer of grilled squid with its tail.
The three beasts walked over, and Tianlu's eyes lit up when he saw the approaching beasts. He ran forward happily.
"Bixie, Bixie, these are all delicious, you should try some." Tianlu took a few small bags from a large bag of food and stuffed them into Bixie's hands. He couldn't give too many, or he wouldn't have enough to eat himself.
Bixie held the snacks with a somewhat helpless expression. He spoke with a doting tone, "Tianlu, don't eat so much. You still have to eat dinner later."
Tianlu took a bite of the kebab in his hand and said vaguely, "It's okay, I can eat it."
After saying this, Tianlu paused, then looked at the Qilin and Rabbit Master suspiciously and asked, "Where are the other beasts? Didn't we agree to meet here and go to the inn together?"
"They're still on their way, they should be here soon," the Qilin said, taking over the conversation.
Tianlu said "Oh," and then asked, "Oh, shall we play a little longer?"
“Okay.” Bixie nodded in agreement.
The scene shifts to a private room in a five-star hotel, where Puss in Boots and Xiaohang are sitting side by side at a table. Yes, they had arrived long ago, but instead of meeting up immediately, they came here to visit a very important person.
"Director Puss in Boots, Xiaohang, the contract is signed. I'll be relying on you from now on."
A magnetic voice rang out in the private room. Directly opposite Puss in Boots and Xiaohang, a bird with a bright red body and colorful tail feathers sat elegantly.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas records: Five hundred li further east is Mount Danxue, where gold and jade abound. The Dan River originates there and flows south into the Bohai Sea. There is a bird there, resembling a chicken, with five-colored plumage, named Phoenix. Its head is inscribed with the character "Virtue," its wings with "Righteousness," its back with "Propriety," its breast with "Benevolence," and its belly with "Trustworthiness." This bird eats and drinks naturally, sings and dances by itself, and its appearance signifies peace and tranquility throughout the world.
The bird sitting opposite Puss in Boots and Xiaohang at this moment was Phoenix.
"Not at all, it would be an honor for us to have you join the crew." Puss in Boots waved his paw politely, showing great humility in the face of Phoenix's words.
Phoenix smiled and said, "Director Puss in Boots, you're too kind."
Xiaohang took out his phone and glanced at the time. He interrupted Puss in Boots, who was about to continue the pleasantries, and said, "It's getting late, Puss in Boots. If we don't go and gather the Four-Faced Beast and Pippi, they'll be getting impatient."
Puss in Boots' expression froze, and he thought to himself, "Oh no! I almost forgot about that!"
Seeing that Puss in Boots and Xiaohang seemed to be in a hurry, Phoenix said understandingly, "You two should go to the meeting point first. It's not good to stand someone up. If you don't mind, you can stay at this hotel. I've booked it all."
Puss in Boots was taken aback: "Huh? Is that okay?"
Phoenix smiled and nodded, her voice gentle and refined: "Of course."
Switching our perspective to the other side, Bai Jie and the other beasts are currently enjoying hot pot. The director and producer are still nowhere to be seen, and they've decided not to wait any longer for them to join them for dinner.
Red and white broths simmered on either side of the hot pot, the ingredients bobbing up and down. A group of beasts sat around the table, waiting for the food to cook. A quick glance revealed Di Ting, Tao Tao, and the Golden and Silver Horned Brothers among them.
"I've been wanting to ask this for a while now. It's one thing for Fatty Deer and Rabbit Lord, two movie stars, to hide their identities, but why are the three of you doing the same?" Tao Tao pointed at the three Pixiu, her tone full of confusion.
With a snap, the disposable chopsticks in the four-legged creature's claws broke. He maintained his smile and squeezed out a slow but gritted-teeth voice: "I've already lost weight."
Sitting next to the four-legged creature, Rabbit Lord was sweating profusely. He lamented inwardly: Why did they bring up my old grudges?
"Ahem, I'm actually quite curious as to why you're all like this?" Realizing the situation was getting out of hand, Rabbit quickly followed up on Peach's words, afraid that he and the Four-Faced Beast would start arguing.
After being questioned by two beasts in succession, Bai Jie, who was being held in Bi Xie's arms, couldn't help but sigh and explain, "Alas~ Actually, it didn't have to be like this in the first place, but after the broadcast of 'Beasts', I don't know which guy dug up the news from more than ten years ago when we were besieged by reporters. Now, we don't dare to go out on the street in our original form at all."
"Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm." Tianlu nodded repeatedly in agreement, even making an indignant expression.
Bai Jie rolled her eyes at her brother and said, "What are you 'humming' about? This is all your fault."
Tianlu paused in his nodding motion, then awkwardly turned his head away, feeling guilty and unable to meet Baijie's eyes.
"By the way, it's been cooking for so long, why isn't it done yet?" Tianlu awkwardly changed the subject, pointing to the hot pot.
"It's probably because the temperature is too low. I don't know why it's so cold here," Jinjiao replied casually while eating peanuts.
"Cold?" The beasts exclaimed in confusion at the same time. They looked around at each other, and finally all their eyes were fixed on Di Ting, who was emanating a chill from his body.
Di Ting blinked blankly: "What's wrong?"
On the street, a large black dog stood in front of a hot pot restaurant. A breeze blew by, turning into a cold wind as it passed by. Passersby felt a chill and quickened their pace as they passed through the cold area.
Di Ting silently looked up at the sky, his expression quite complicated: Was I just kicked out like this?
"It's alright, Lord Diting, we'll go buy you some food." A ghost assistant flew to Diting's side and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
Di Ting sighed, his expression turning completely dejected: "Fine, that's all we can do."
Just then, a shout suddenly reached Di Ting's ears: "Pipi! Qilin! Baijie! Where are you beasts!"
Listening intently, they looked towards the source of the sound and saw a black cat and an unidentified black creature walking among the crowd, calling out their names. It was Puss in Boots and Xiaohang.
At the entrance of a high-speed rail station, a figure emerged from the shadows, dragging a suitcase. Sunlight fell on him; this person was none other than Xu Xian.
