The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

It was noon.

The house has been cleaned spotless, broken tiles and dirt have been removed, and the broken window has been replaced with a brand new one.

The aroma was irresistible, making the beast's mouth water. The table was laden with a dazzling array of dishes.

The three beasts sat around the table in different postures. Bai Jie lay sprawled on the chair, looking tired, Bi Xie sat upright, while Fei Fei stared at the food on the table, its paws itching to pounce.

"Dinner's ready, why isn't Tianlu back yet? Is he lost?"

Bai Jie spoke weakly, exhausted from cleaning the house, and now he couldn't even muster the energy to speak.

"I don't know. You eat first, Bai Jie. I'll go out and look for Tian Lu."

Bixie was restless, worried that the idiot had gotten into trouble outside again. He finished speaking and prepared to leave.

at this time,

With a bang, the door was kicked open. Before the beast arrived, the noise came first—Tianlu's loud shouts echoed through the house.

"May evil spirits be warded off! I've made you a bowl of very nourishing soup, please try it!"

Tianlu ran in carrying a bowl of freshly cooked, steaming soup. Bixie was stunned. Before he could react, the soup was already placed in front of him.

The broth was cloudy, with unidentified objects floating in it. Upon closer inspection, one could see ginseng, mushrooms, and some meat, but the rest were unrecognizable.

"What is this thing? Tianlu, what did you put in it?!"

The tingling sensation on Bai Jie's scalp was an unpleasant instinct, and Fei Fei also complained about it.

"What kind of top-tier culinary disaster is this?!"

Tianlu stood with his hands on his hips, looking smug: "This is a super nourishing soup that I've collected a lot of treasures to make. It will definitely help you recover faster after drinking it!"

Bixie stared at the bowl of highly nutritious soup, which was obviously undrinkable, his eyelids twitching. Baijie and Feifei were frantically trying to persuade him not to drink it, but he still hesitated in the face of Tianlu's expectant eyes.

"The Pixiu has a strong digestive ability, so drinking it... should... be fine, right?"

Hoping for a lucky break, Bixie hesitantly picked up the nourishing soup.

"Don't drink it to ward off evil!" Bai Jie exclaimed in alarm.

"Why can't I drink it! I made this with great difficulty, and I saved it all for Bixie. I haven't touched a drop."

Tianlu crossed his arms, clearly annoyed.

Bai Jie stared at Tian Lu in disbelief, stunned.

"What kind of garbage is this! You didn't even taste it yourself before giving it to Bixie to drink. Are you using it to test for poison?!"

By the time Bai Jie uttered these words, it was already too late; Bi Xie resolutely drank the nourishing soup in one gulp.

Next second,

The soup bowl fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces, with soup splashing everywhere and various unidentified ingredients spilling out.

Bixie clutched his own throat, his face turning purple, the terrifying taste lingering in his mouth for a long time.

A wave of nausea surged up, and after gagging twice, his eyes suddenly rolled back.

"The evil spirit has fainted!!"

Bai Jie let out a piercing scream that soared into the sky, making the whole house seem to shake three times, and even the chickens next door were so frightened that they all trembled.

After a chaotic scene, Bixie was finally revived. Baijie almost thought he had ascended to heaven and was about to call Diting, but thankfully he woke up in time.

During his subsequent recovery, Bixie never let Tianlu take care of him again. He simply couldn't afford it, and he even had to keep an eye on this idiot at all times to prevent him from causing trouble on a whim.

As the days went by, Bixie and Zhanhu's injuries were fully healed in less than a week.

Under Puss in Boots' arrangement, the scenes featuring War Tiger were filmed, and the zoo that War Tiger came from even made a cameo appearance in the storyline.

After Zhanhu's scenes came to an end, the test shoot for Baijie finally arrived.

In the dressing room,

Bai Jie sat quietly in the chair, while Tu Tu used a series of makeup tools to modify the pattern on the side of her thigh.

After so long, TuTu has finally done a proper job as a makeup artist.

"It's all done. All I have to do is put on the colored contact lenses and it'll be finished."

Putting away her makeup tools, TuTu felt like she was living in a dream: This job was so easy, could it be a scam?

Bai Jie jumped off the chair and looked at himself. The pattern on the side of his thigh had been changed to the same one as Tianlu's, but it was still gold.

In the script, Tianlu's hair turns golden after eating the Happy Mushroom, and Baijie's test shoot was a portrayal of this stage.

If they get this scene right, it will be used directly in the main series. If they can't get it right, then Tianlu will be allowed to appear. However, if that's the case, Baijie won't be able to get any roles for a while unless his acting skills meet the standard.

Finally, after helping Baijie put on her contact lenses, Tutu grabbed her shoulders, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Bai Jie, you absolutely have to pass this test shoot!"

Bai Jie was taken aback, not expecting Tu Tu to care about him so much, but Tu Tu's next words dispelled his thoughts.

"If you don't pass, I'll have to do Pipi's makeup again!"

Bai Jie was speechless: So this is what you care about? Just how much do you hate your job?!

After dealing with TuTu, BaiJie walked out of the dressing room feeling a bit tired. However, as soon as he stepped over the threshold, he was blocked by a large group of beasts who came to encourage him.

Tianlu: "Good luck, Baijie! You can definitely pass!"

Rabbit God: "Go for it! I believe in you!"

Bixie: "Keep it up!"

The four-legged creature: "Go for it, Bai Jie!"

Cat Dragon: "Go Bai Jie! Go Bai Jie! By the way, shouldn't we give out red envelopes to celebrate after we pass?"

Totoro: "Mimi mimi mimi mimi mimi mimi!"

Yue Tian: "I agree with giving out red envelopes! Third Master, you absolutely have to pass!"

Feifei: "+1, I agree too! Keep it up, Baijie!"

A group of beasts were offering words of encouragement, but the conversation gradually went off-topic. Bai Jie, blocked at the door, was completely dumbfounded: "Don't do this! Everything was fine before, but this has made us nervous!"

Surrounded by the beasts, Bai Jie arrived at the filming location, where Puss in Boots had been waiting for a long time. She beckoned Bai Jie over.

Finally finding an opportunity, Bai Jie decisively broke free from the encirclement and ran to Puss in Boots' side.

"No wonder he's such a big spender, he's really popular," Puss in Boots joked.

Bai Jie grinned awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

"By the way, did you send out red envelopes after the test shoot? I'd like to know too. If you did, I want one too."

Puss in Boots' sudden remark startled Bai Jie, who then spoke with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

"Have you ever given me a red envelope?"

Puss in Boots shook his head: "No, unless your acting is good enough."

"That settles it then!" Bai Jie rolled his eyes and added, "Even if I send it, I won't give it to you."

Puss in Boots clicked his tongue helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, I won't bring it up anymore. You should hurry up and get ready."

Bai Jie curled his lip, turned around and walked into the camera's view, followed closely by the Qilin. The two beasts began preparing for the shoot.

The camera was in place, the lights were in place, the actors were in place, and Puss in Boots glanced around to make sure everything was in order before starting the countdown.

"3, 2, 1, Action!"

Puss in Boots slammed the clapperboard shut, and filming began with a bang.

in the kitchen,

The four-legged creature skillfully stirred the oil with a spatula, the sizzling sound of oil filling the air and the aroma wafting out the window.

Off-camera, Tianlu was drooling. To avoid affecting the filming and recording, he wiped his mouth and tried to lower his voice to ask Bixie beside him.

"After filming, can I eat the dish from that plate of food?"

"Shh~"

Bixie tilted his head to signal Tianlu to be quiet, and then spoke in a voice that only the two beasts could hear.

"Don't talk, I'll make it for you in a bit."

Tianlu's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, even making a zipping motion with his mouth to indicate that he would absolutely not utter a sound.

"Pipi is so slow today, it's almost dinnertime, why isn't he back yet?"

The four-legged creature in the filming took a new turn, looking up at the door with a puzzled expression.

Just then, a golden figure carrying mushrooms burst into the frame.

"Hahahaha, you're back, you monstrous creature! You brought me mushrooms!"

Bai Jie ran up to the Qilin with a silly grin, drool still hanging from the corner of his mouth.

The beasts watching from the sidelines covered their mouths, trying to suppress their laughter. If Tianlu had performed this scene, it might have been fine, but seeing Baijie perform it made them inexplicably want to laugh, probably because he usually acts quite seriously.

Tianlu covered his mouth, freeing one paw to give a thumbs-up, the meaning of which was very clear: Baijie acted really well, keep it up!

Ignoring all external distractions, the two beasts on camera maintained their composure and continued their performance.

Looking at the golden Pixiu, the Qilin (a mythical creature) spoke with a look of shock.

"Little White! No, Pipi?! How did you transform into..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Jie suddenly grabbed the golden mushroom and stuffed it into the mouth of the four-legged creature.

"These mushrooms are so delicious! I felt so happy after eating them! You should try some too!"

"Um! Wait a minute!"

The four-legged creature was caught off guard and swallowed an unknown mushroom. Its throat bobbed, and it almost instinctively swallowed it.

"pass!"

Puss in Boots shouted and closed the script.

There was a two-second silence, followed by thunderous applause.

"Congratulations, Baijie! You can always ask me anything you don't understand in the future," Rabbit Lord clapped.

"The Earth asked me to pass on a message: congratulations, and Heaven will also receive a share." Di Ting clapped along with the message.

Tianlu cheered: "Hooray! Baijie will definitely become a big star too, we'll be the Twin Stars!"

Bixie turned and stared at Tianlu. Tianlu was stunned for a moment before realizing what was happening and hugged him tightly.

"Oh right, and warding off evil spirits! Then we're the golden trio!"

"Now that it's over, shouldn't we send out red envelopes?"

Amidst the congratulatory herd of beasts, the cat-dragon suddenly spoke up.

The scene was uniform, and then all the beasts unanimously adopted the same tone.

"Mimi mimi mimi!" Totoro was the first to respond.

"That's right, Third Master, it's time to hand out red envelopes!" Yue Tian chimed in.

"I want Bai Jie too!" Tianlu's eyes flashed with golden light as he raised his claws, secretly planning to fill his little treasury once again.

Not to be outdone, Rabbit Lord shouted, "My share can't be missing!"

"And mine too, I want one too!" Fei Fei shouted, never one to miss a good spectacle.

Bixie glanced around and then silently raised its claws, its meaning clear: it wanted it too.

Squeezed among the group of social beasts, Bai Jie was surrounded by a jumble of chatter, his head buzzing: Why is everyone of you thinking about red envelopes?!

Finally, Bai Jie sent out several large red envelopes in the crew group chat, and that settled the matter.

Puss in Boots, who was explicitly forbidden from receiving red envelopes, secretly grabbed one, but perhaps due to some divine intervention, she only managed to get 0.01 yuan, while the other animals received at least ten yuan.

"Phew~ Okay, director, the rehearsal is done. Now it's my turn, right?"

After dealing with the group of beasts demanding red envelopes, Bai Jie breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Puss in Boots, who looked utterly dejected.

Ignoring Bai Jie's question, Puss in Boots stared blankly at his black fur, questioning his existence: Am I an African cat? No!

She looked up at Bai Jie, and a thought gradually solidified in her mind: It's definitely not my fault for being biased; it must be Bai Jie's fault! That's right, it's not my fault!

"Director?" Bai Jie's claws waved in front of Puss in Boots' eyes.

Just as Puss in Boots was coming back to her senses after self-hypnosis, she recalled Bai Baijie's words and replied.

"After this scene is finished, we'll start filming your storyline. Also, you'll need to go to Blackpool. I've arranged for you to make a cameo appearance there."
