The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 83 The Secret Deal is Discovered

In a dark alley, a white figure slowly stepped into the light from the outside world. The shadows swallowed its form, leaving only a pair of heterochromatic blue and yellow eyes that flickered like will-o'-the-wisps in the darkness.

"You came."

A black cat stood in the middle of the alley, its back to the approaching guests, its black body seemingly blending into the shadows.

"Yes, I'm here."

The white figure approached the black cat step by step, while behind her, at the boundary between darkness and light, a tabby cat swallowed nervously and watched everything intently.

In the alley, the black cat sensed the approaching presence behind him. He turned around, his yellow eyes, gleaming with an eerie light, meeting the gaze of the blue-yellow heterochromatic eyes. He spoke calmly, "Did you bring your money? I only accept cash."

"Of course." The white cat reached into her bosom and pulled out a stack of cash.

The black cat suddenly took a step forward, its eyes fixed on the stack of cash, and the atmosphere became heavy.

"Where's your merchandise? You don't mean to steal it, do you?" The white cat's calm tone concealed a murderous intent, as if he would suddenly attack at any moment.

A moment of silence fell between the two cats, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Just then, the black cat took a step back and smiled casually, saying, "How could that be? I definitely brought it. It's right here."

A packet of powder was handed to the white cat, who snorted and handed over the cash in return.

After exchanging money and goods, the two cats slowly retreated towards each other. In the end, one retreated back into the light of the outside world, while the other retreated into the darkness deeper into the alley.

Moving the camera upwards, in a barely noticeable spot in the alley, a camera hangs silently, its red light flickering faintly, recording everything that had just happened.

Inside the police station, Bai Jie, Tian Lu, and Bi Xie sat at the table, with Xu Xian and a police officer standing beside them. Across the table, three cats sat restlessly.

"So that's why you were arrested, because of a packet of catnip!" Bai Jie threw the catnip onto the table, his expression full of confusion.

Feifei turned her head away from Baijie's gaze. For a moment, she didn't know how to explain, or rather, there was no room for explanation in this matter.

"You're really defying the heavens." Xu Xian reached out and rubbed the cat's head, expressing his admiration for Fei Fei's reckless behavior.

The officer standing nearby sighed, "Sigh... This isn't the first or second time this has happened. Cats in the city are always causing these kinds of blunders..."

The police officer poured out his grievances, saying that many cats in the city would turn the private sale of catnip into something resembling a drug deal, just like this time. The key is that you can't just ignore it when you see it, because if it's real, then things will get really bad.

"Because of these guys messing things up! We're constantly having to work overtime! I finally managed to snag tickets to the Phoenix concert, but before I even got there, my boss called me to go catch a cat!"

The officer grew increasingly agitated, slamming his hand on the table with a loud thud. The surrounding group of men fell silent, none daring to provoke him while he was in such a fit of anger.

"Phew~ Alright, take your cats with you now, and remember to pay the fine when you leave."

"Huh?" Bai Jie looked completely bewildered, then he suddenly turned to look at Fei Fei: So that's why you gave me my phone number, you think I'm a sucker, huh!

As they left the police station, Fei Fei followed at the back with a guilty look on his face. The three Pixiu in front of him didn't pay any attention to him at all, while Xu Xian would occasionally turn around to look at him.

"By the way, how did you end up getting arrested too?"

Nestled in Tianlu's arms, Baijie turned to ask the tabby cat being held by Xu Xian.

Because of the large number of monsters in the Beast World, society pays special attention to the placement of stray animals. This tabby cat was originally going to be sent to a stray animal shelter or something similar, but Bai Jie and the others took it out on their own.

"I...I was actually arrested because I was walking with Sister Feifei and was mistaken for an accomplice." The tabby cat lowered its head and licked the fur on its paws, looking very embarrassed.

"Oh, right..." The tabby cat remembered something, stopped licking his fur and struggled a couple of times: "Thank you for bringing me out. I should go back to my territory, or other cats will take it over."

It was the tabby cat's own choice not to go to the animal shelter. As a cat, he is very attached to his old home, and he prefers to stay in his own territory rather than go to a shelter.

"Wait a minute." Xu Xian grabbed the tabby cat by the scruff of its neck to prevent it from escaping: "How about I adopt you?"

The tabby cat froze, its body stiffening as if its fate had been seized by another.

Why do you keep a cat?

The three Pixiu all looked puzzled. They knew the situation at Xu Xian's house: two mice. If they brought the cat back, things would get chaotic.

"Hey!" Xu Xian chuckled mischievously. "Grey Fairy is being naughty at home, I'll bring a cat back to teach him a lesson."

During the concert,

While chatting happily with Xu Xian's blind date, Hui Xian'er suddenly shuddered. He looked around warily, thinking to himself: Which scoundrel wants to harm me?!

Time passed gradually, and before we knew it, it was completely dark.

Under the spotlight, after singing his last song, Fenghuang flapped his wings and folded them to his chest. Amid thunderous applause, he bowed deeply to the audience.

"Aaaaaaah! Lord Phoenix, I love you!"

In the audience, a bird that had just been rescued discovered that the phoenix was bowing in its direction. She screamed in alarm, her excitement reaching its peak. In her boundless excitement and joy, she suddenly felt a darkness before her eyes.

"Oh no! She's fainting again! Help!!"

The fall of one bird did not dampen the enthusiasm of the other spectators.

Amidst thunderous cheers, the spotlights went out, and the phoenix disappeared into the darkness.

In the VIP box where the film crew was staying, Puss in Boots and Xiaohang led a group of beasts out of the door. Judging from their expressions, they were quite satisfied with the concert trip.

"By the way, where did Pipi and the others go? They rushed over to call Bixie and then left." The Four-Faced Beast put on its mask and came out of the private room. It looked around and said with some concern.

"It's okay, I asked. It's because their cat was caught due to some misunderstanding, and they went to pick it up."

Puss in Boots walked in front, seemingly unconcerned. Knowing the three Pixiu as she did, she was confident they could handle the situation themselves.

"Hey, don't worry about it, Four-Faced Beast." Rabbit Lord put his arm around Four-Faced Beast's shoulder. "Just ask Di Ting directly."

At this point, Rabbit Lord turned his head and looked directly at Di Ting: "How exactly are Pi Pi and Bai Jie doing? Tell me."

"They're over there."

Di Ting raised its paw and pointed forward. The beasts looked in the direction it pointed and found that three Pixiu were already waiting at the stadium entrance.

Amidst the chaotic chatter and birdsong, the two groups of beasts successfully reunited.

"You're finally back! Tell Grandpa what's wrong and make me happy."

Peach leaped onto the top of the four-legged creature's head, her eye makeup somehow changed to a cheeky expression.

The three Pixiu, who were initially a little surprised by the first paragraph, instantly turned pale. However, before they could do anything, the Qilin took the initiative to rip off the creature on its head and throw it back to the ground.

With a gasp, Tao Tao landed like a ball and bounced back up.

Upon landing again, his entire beast rolled on the ground until it stopped at Tianlu's feet.

"What are you doing?! Grandpa just wanted to sit on your head for a bit, what's wrong with that?!"

After regaining her balance, Tao Tao turned around and glared at the four-legged creature, but the expression on her face, which she hadn't had time to change, combined with her current tone, made her look quite comical.

Looking at Tao Tao, who was constantly yelling at his feet, Tianlu had an idea. He raised one foot and kicked out in a flash, "Go!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Tao Tao's figure spun as she was kicked away, and the next second, a white figure rushed out from behind Tian Lu and chased after her.

In the blink of an eye, Tao Tao was brought back and dropped at Tian Lu's feet.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and even Peach, who had just been picked up, had not yet recovered from the dizziness.

Finally, Bai Jie broke the silence first, staring at Fei Fei who had just rushed out and asking, "Did you finally give in to your animalistic instincts?"

"Uh... I just couldn't resist watching the game."

Feifei turned her head away guiltily, avoiding Baijie's gaze.

"What ball! Grandpa is a glutton!!"

Tao Tao had just recovered from the dizziness when he heard Fei Fei's words. He was so angry that his lungs felt like they were about to explode. Oh wait, he didn't seem to have any lungs.

The camera turned.

"Where did that bastard Xu Xian go? He disappeared while he was just out buying something to eat!"

Hui Xian'er perched on the girl's shoulder, looking around anxiously, trying to find Xu Xian's figure in the crowd.

"Could it be that they're planning to abandon me? Am I really that unpopular?"

"Hey, look, isn't that Xu Xian over there?"

The girl spotted Xu Xian mingling with a group of beasts. She pointed and showed his location to Hui Xian'er.

The tabby cat nestled in Xu Xian's arms twitched its ears, and he looked up to remind him, "It sounds like someone is calling your name."

"what?"

Xu Xian paused in stroking the cat, shifted his gaze from the commotion before him, and looked around. Then he saw his blind date walking through the crowd toward him with an unfriendly expression and a shifty-looking rat slung over her shoulder.

"Xu Xian! What kind of monster am I?! You're so stingy with your words, but what's with standing me up?!"

The girl completely let loose, ignoring all notions of gentleness, kindness, and understanding. Let her image crumble if she wants; this blind date is definitely going to fail anyway.

Fine beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and Xu Xian unconsciously increased the pressure while petting the cat to ease his nervousness: "Well, um... let me explain, no, let me put it into words!"

Easter eggs:

With a bang, the door was kicked open, and a man with a dark face walked in carrying his cat. He stretched his leg back and hooked it shut with a loud crash.

"Tell me, where did you hide the rest of the catnip?" The man threw the black cat to the ground, pulled up a chair, sat down, and asked.

The black cat huddled on the ground, trembling, its tail tucked between its legs. A sudden urge to urinate surged up, which it forcefully suppressed: Oh no, oh no! My owner is going to cut off my catnip!

Seeing that Xuanmao remained silent, the man spoke in an unfriendly tone: "I advise you to hand it over right now."

"Coco, Coco, Coco is the owner. A lot of those catnip items were pre-ordered by others..."

"Don't bring that up with me!" the man interrupted Xuanmao's excuse impatiently. "Your catnip was all traded privately, so it's no big deal once it's been cut off. And do you know how much trouble you've caused me? I'm constantly being taken to the police station, and now my family thinks I've done something wrong!"

Ultimately, under pressure from the man, Xuanmao surrendered all her stock, and the city's largest catnip reseller went bankrupt.
