The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

The sun shone high in the sky, its rays spreading far and wide.

In the Caiyun Mountains, the sea of ​​trees sways and undulates in the wind, its spiritual energy drifting and being absorbed by countless living beings.

On a certain mountain,

A pavilion stands on a clearing halfway up the mountain, its antique charm emanating a refreshing woody fragrance from the sacred wood.

The roof is covered with green tiles, supported by four red pillars at the four corners of the eaves. The windows are also made of wood, without a trace of modernity. It is like the dwelling of a hermit, and the surrounding scenery is elegant and beautiful.

The area in front of the gate is covered in lush green grass, full of vitality, and offers a panoramic view of the magnificent distant mountains.

Behind the house is a pond, its surface shimmering and crystal clear, teeming with lively fish—truly a paradise for fishing.

All these factors make this place even more suitable for self-cultivation and character building.

A plaque hangs above the door, bearing the three characters "Lu Ren Dian" (鹿人店), which is the name of the shop.

Passing through the curtain at the entrance, inside the shop, a two-legged deer stands upright, sweeping with a broom. It has a white smiling face and wears a red-and-white cloud-patterned cloak; it is none other than the shop owner, "Four Unlikes".

"Ugh~ How much longer do I have to wait, you Qilin? What kind of beast makes me wait?"

Tianlu squatted on the table, yawning listlessly with a disgruntled expression. He was usually out having fun at this time, so it would be a miracle if he was happy to be forcibly detained in the shop and not allowed to leave.

"This is someone you know well; you'll regret it if you don't greet him."

The four-legged creature smiled mysteriously.

Tianlu curled his lip: "Who can make me regret it? How come I didn't know I knew such a beast?"

The four-legged creature opened its mouth as if to say something, but then it caught a glimpse of a beast entering through the door and its eyes lit up.

"Just in time, Pipi, look behind you."

"what?"

Tianlu turned around blankly and saw a golden Pixiu that looked eight-tenths like him lift the cloth and walk into the shop.

When their eyes met, Tianlu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

"Bai Jie, you've descended to earth!!"

The outstretched claw paused, and Bai Jie looked up, staring blankly at Tian Lu, his expression shifting back and forth.

"Hundred Solutions"

Tianlu didn't care about anything else. He kicked off the ground and leaped into the air, rushing towards his long-lost brother, his eyes filled with joy.

I missed you so much!

Tianlu's body drew an arc in the air, and Baijie stood up and opened his arms.

Just as the two brothers were about to embrace, and Tianlu was overjoyed, Baijie suddenly attacked, delivering a powerful punch to his head.

"Ow!"

Tianlu screamed as he was knocked to the ground, a large bump rising on his head. He covered his head in grievance, tears welling in his eyes.

"Why did you hit me, Bai Jie?"

"You still have the nerve to ask!"

Bai Jie puffed out his cheeks, his face full of anger.

"You secretly descended to the mortal realm without a word and didn't even take me with you! I had to go through so much trouble to find this place!"

The more he talked, the angrier he became. Bai Jie simply grabbed Tian Lu and gave him a good beating, all the while muttering indignantly.

"I told you not to leave me! I told you not to sneak down to the mortal realm..."

"Aaaaaah! Bai Jie, stop hitting me! I was wrong!!"

"I do not care!"

Bai Jie completely ignored Tian Lu's pleas for mercy and kept punching and kicking. The Qilin, watching from the side, sighed: "Finally, a beast that can control Pi Pi has come to the shop."

Bai Jie, Pi Pi's younger brother, was hatched from an egg that Pi Pi found in ancient times. He has the power to cure all evil and dispel evil spells.

And when he first descended to the mortal realm...

Over the city,

A black dot appeared and quickly grew larger. No one in the crowd noticed this, but when the black dot grew to a certain size, a shrill scream rang out.

"Get out of the way! I can't fly!!"

Startled by the scream, the crowd looked up and saw a dog-like creature plummeting down, arriving above them in the blink of an eye.

The crowd scattered abruptly; no one wanted to be the unlucky one to be crushed to death, so they quickly moved away the moment they saw the falling object.

"boom!"

With a loud crash, the creature plummeted to the ground like a comet. It was unclear from what height it fell, but the impact sent dust billowing up and obscuring the view.

The dispersed crowd stared in astonishment at the scene. They had never seen anything like it before: a dog falling from the sky without any blood, seemingly unharmed.

After the commotion, a few bolder people stepped out from the crowd and approached the spot where the dog had fallen.

A gentle breeze blew by, the dust settled, revealing a crater that had been smashed open.

The area around the pit was full of rubble, and the group mustered their courage to go forward and take a look.

There was a white dog with gold stripes, and a sun pattern was drawn on the side of its thigh. At this moment, its head was stuck in the cement road, and its body was not moving.

"His head is too hard! This is a concrete road; even a head made of iron would be deformed by the impact."

One person who witnessed this scene couldn't help but complain.

“Hey, stop talking…” the other person waved his hand: “I reckon it’s a monster. Anyway, let’s rescue it first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the man stepped forward and reached out to pull the dog demon out. However, at that moment, the dog demon's hind leg suddenly twitched, startling him so much that he withdrew his hand.

"What's going on? He didn't even faint?!"

The dog spirit moved again, its large golden tail swaying twice, before it braced itself on the ground with its four paws and pulled hard.

Its head broke free from the soil and rocks, and due to the excessive force, the dog spirit rolled twice on the ground before regaining its balance.

"Ouch, that hurts! I should have just stayed put on the SkyTrain."

The dog spirit shook his body vigorously to shake off the dust. His expression was pained, clearly indicating that the fall he had just taken was not easy.

The people who witnessed the whole thing were dumbfounded. When the dog spirit pulled out its head, its bright horns were revealed. It was clearly a divine beast.

"Hiss~ Hah~ Where did I fall here?"

As the pain subsided slightly, Bai Jie grimaced and looked around, only to be stunned by a series of sights he had never seen before.

Skyscrapers stand tall, each one seemingly piercing the clouds.

On the road, countless vehicles flowed endlessly, the roar of engines and the whooshing sound of passing vehicles echoing incessantly. All sorts of novel things dazzled Bai Jie, even making him temporarily forget his pain.

A huge screen hangs on the building, playing an advertisement for a certain manufacturer. The sound echoes and can be heard from a great distance.

Neatly planted greenery and trees line the roadside, teeming with life, with clusters of purple flowers adding a touch of greenery to this steel jungle.

Bai Jie stared blankly at all of this, his expression one of shock. He couldn't understand how the world of the Mud People had changed so much in such a short time, when it hadn't changed much in the previous thousands of years.

"Um, are you a Pixiu?"

A hesitant question brought Bai Jie back to his senses. He turned around and saw the person who had complained about his stubbornness.

"Ah, I'm a Pixiu, what's wrong?"

Bai Jie tilted his head, then, remembering something, he hurriedly asked before the other person could answer.

"Oh, by the way, I'm looking for another Pixiu, it's blue, have you seen it before?"

The man remained silent. Of course he had seen it before; it was the Pixiu that had caused such a stir half a year ago, being chased by a helicopter and making headlines. He only recognized the one in front of him as a Pixiu after recalling that incident.

"Um... I don't know where the Pixiu you mentioned is, but I suggest you run away quickly."

The person who wanted to pull Bai Jie out of the cement road kindly reminded him.

Bai Jie tilted his head suspiciously: "Why are you running?"

Soon after,

A golden figure sped past on the street, followed closely by a crowd of people carrying weapons.

"Stop! Don't run!"

"Catch him now!"

"Where's the driver? Why isn't the car here yet?!"

"Oh dear, there's a traffic jam right now, how could it be that fast!"

"Look, the helicopter has arrived!!"

In the sky, a helicopter flew over the tall buildings, its rotors spinning rapidly and whistling, with a strong airflow spreading out from it.

Bai Jie, fleeing in panic, turned back and saw this scene, and his mentality collapsed on the spot: Why is this mud man trying to catch me?! What is this flying iron lump?! Why did I encounter this kind of thing as soon as I descended to the mortal realm?!

"That's it. Those mud people just started chasing me for no reason. If I hadn't met Bai Ze later, I wouldn't know where to find you guys."

After Bai Jie finished recounting his experience of descending to the mortal realm, Tian Lu's forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

The Qilin glanced at him, its eyes beneath the mask holding a subtle look.

Noticing that neither beast spoke, Bai Jie asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Tianlu, quick-witted, immediately spoke up: "Those mud people are wicked. They want to use us divine beasts to change our fate. They even tried to capture me back then."

The four-legged creature, with its claws crossed over its chest, quietly looked at Tianlu: "Although what you said is true, if you hadn't been so reckless back then, things wouldn't have developed to this extent."

Tianlu seemed to sense something, turned around and glared fiercely at the Four-Faced Beast, the meaning of which was clear: If you dare to expose me, I will eat you!

"Ahem, by the way, Little White, how did you manage to descend to the mortal realm like Pipi, by sneaking off?"

The four-legged creature coughed lightly to change the subject and avoid making Tianlu angry.

Bai Jie nodded and replied, "Yes, I originally wanted to descend to the mortal realm as a piece of celestial iron, but the Heavenly Court kept delaying my departure, so I couldn't wait any longer and sneaked down."

The four-legged creature slapped its forehead and said, "Alright, then you can stay in my shop with Pipi, but you'll have to work for me."

At this point, the four-legged creature thought for a moment and added, "I don't have any extra space for you to stay here, so you'll have to make do with Pipi sharing a doghouse, uh, the security room."

Upon hearing this, Bu Dongbai realized what was happening, and Tianlu immediately exploded.

"You stingy little devil! Can't you give us a bigger place to live?!"
