"Huh? You really want to go to the underworld?" Bai Jie asked suspiciously.

"Mmm!" Bai Cang nodded his little head in response.

"Why?" Bai Jie asked, staring at Bai Zang.

Could this kid have been drugged or something?

The underworld, that dark place, might actually have such a thing.

Thinking this, the energy of spring flowed through Xiao Zang's body.

"Eh? Mother's new ability!" Hyakuzō exclaimed, his eyes sparkling.

She hadn't used the Springtime ability in front of Hyakuzō since acquiring it, leading him to believe that his mother had gained a new ability.

"Because I think the underworld is fun?" Bai Zang said, tilting his head.

"I feel like there are so many new things in the underworld!" He felt Bai Jie's spring energy flowing through his body. Because spring energy is a healing ability, Bai Zang felt very comfortable and had no discomfort.

Bai Jie raised an eyebrow; it seemed that Xiao Zang was still relatively normal.

He gave her a strange look. "Alright, I'll talk to Di about it later."

"Yay! Mother is the best~" Bai Zang pressed his whole face into Bai Jie's arms.

“I’ll go with you then. I’ve never seen what the underworld looks like either,” Bai Jie said, ruffling Bai Zang’s hair.

Upon hearing that his mother was also going, he...

Bai Zang agreed with both claws and feet.

"Okay, okay! I'll introduce you to my brother Qinghuo later! He's so nice~ He buys me food, goes shopping with me, and even sleeps with me!" Baizang said happily.

"?"

What you said at the beginning seemed normal, but the more I think about what you said later, the more something seems off.

Hmm~ Could it be that the reason he looks like this is all because of that fire-wielding guy?

Bai Jie remembered that Qing Huo was created by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to accompany Di Ting. The process was a bit tortuous, but Qing Huo also became Di Ting's brother.

Buying food and shopping is fine, but adding sleeping together makes it look like a young couple on a date.

Bai Jie was shaking her head frantically. It must be my imagination, but it looked strange. Maybe it's because Qinghuo and Diting are the hosts of the Underworld, and they're treating Baizang to food.

As for sleeping with someone, there were probably no rooms available, so they could only manage a short nap.

"Ah~ okay~" Bai Jie said with a forced smile.

Bai Zang didn't pay much attention; he was only happy that he could go to the underworld again.

Seeing Bai Zang in this state, Bai Jie felt as if her own child had been abducted.

Hmm~ Why do I feel like I'm one step closer to Shan Tao?

"Xiao Zang, let's make a call to your dad," Bai Jie said.

"Huh? Making a phone call?!" Hyakuzo exclaimed in shock.

I told Si Bu Xiang yesterday that he would probably be waiting by the phone today.

In reality, when did the Four-Faced Beast not keep watch? Except for meals and toilet breaks, he was practically inseparable from it.

"Hmm~" Bai Jie took out her phone and dialed the number that was the same as her own.

"Me! Me!" Bai Zang raised his paw, wanting to be the first to speak.

Bai Jie smiled and put her phone on speakerphone.

"du~du~"

The sound of waiting rang out.

next second.

"Dudu-"

Bai Zang was overjoyed and quickly called out, "Father! Father!"

Before he could even feel happy...

The call screen flickered a few times and then the call ended.

Bai Jie's face stiffened, and she finally realized what was happening. Hers—was she... hung up on?

Bai Zang looked at Bai Jie with a puzzled expression.

"Um, shall we try again?"

. . .

Four types of people who should not get along.

The Four-Faced Beast woke up early and first fed some of the meat that Chaos and the others had hunted to the three unconscious Pixiu.

"You stinky Qilin, I'm here!" The door opened, and Mian Tao arrived.

She poked at the several unconscious Pixiu on the bed.

"According to Doctor Hua, they should be waking up soon," Mian Tao said, excluding Bai Jie, of course.

"Well, it's good that they're alright," Si Bu Xiang said with a sigh.

First, his own golden thread wouldn't wake up, then Tianlu Bixie was struck by lightning, leaving him without a beast to chat with!

Although this little spot didn't get along with him, there was no real grudge between them.

Maybe that's just how Little Spots is?

Si Bu Xiang thought to himself.

"du~du~"

The mobile phone on the bedside table started vibrating, and the screen lit up.

"Huh? What's going on?" Cotton Peach picked up her phone and waved it around.

Last time, the four-legged creatures explained the purpose of this claw machine to themselves.

It involves communicating with Bai Jie from another world via text message.

But what's with this vibration? Is it a message?

The four-legged creature snatched the phone away.

"This is communicating with the Golden Thread!" Four-Faced Man exclaimed in delight.

I didn't expect the gold thread to arrive so early.

"Huh? It can talk?" Cotton Peach was a little surprised and moved closer to the Four-Faced Beast to look at the phone.

"Look, all you need is this much!" The Four-Faced Beast confidently clicked the red button.

"Dudu-"

The call screen then disappeared, and the phone returned to normal.

"Huh? That's it? You can make calls now?" Miantao frowned and picked up the phone to look at it.

"Is that how you talk to yourself? Hey, hey, hey? Can you hear me?"

"..."

The four were somewhat awkward.

"Hehe~ I think I ordered the wrong thing?" Si Bu Xiang said somewhat uncertainly.

He just felt his claw was aimed at the red button, and then he pressed the button on the cotton boll with his phone.

Did I accidentally move my claw and turn it green?

I'm not sure, I'll check again later.

The gold thread will probably come back again, right?

Under the disdainful gaze of the cotton boll, the phone vibrated again.

The Four-Faced Beasts did not make Bai Jie wait even a second longer.

In front of Mian Tao, he pressed the red hang-up button again.

The phone returned to normal.

The two beasts stared at each other, utterly silent.

"You stinky Qilin, you just ordered the red one, why did you order this again?" Cotton Peach looked at the Qilin in front of her with utter speechlessness.

"Huh? Hahaha~" The four-faced creature was already extremely embarrassed.

I still feel guilty towards Jin Xian.

Did I really order the same thing twice? I should have asked Little Spot first...

. . .

the other side.

Bai Jie, whose call was disconnected again, fell into deep self-doubt.

Bai Jie's upper and lower teeth were constantly rubbing together.

Bai Zang watched his mother's appearance and broke out in a cold sweat. Luckily, he hadn't blurted out any complaints.

Otherwise, my mother might take her anger out on me.

He patted Bai Jie with his paw: "Mother, it's alright. Maybe Father just made a mistake?"

Hmm... that reason is a bit weak; how can someone make the same mistake twice?

I had to choose one of two options, but I didn't select the right one either time.

At this moment, Bai Zang really wanted to ask, was it intentional or accidental?

"Fine." Bai Jie let out a heavy sigh. "Things shouldn't happen more than three times, otherwise I'll teach him a lesson when I get back!"

He gave a light snort.

The claw dialed the number again.

Bai Zang prayed frantically in his heart.

Father, you'd better step up your game, or Mother will really get angry!

"duo~"

This time it wasn't a busy signal.

"Gold thread?"
