There is a beast: (Hundred Explanations)

After the Rabbit God and the Four-Faced Beast calmed down.

"A four-legged creature, did a fox come by before?" Bai Jie looked around and found no trace of Mei Mei.

"Hmm? Yes, you introduced them, right?" the four-legged creature replied, lying on the recliner.

"Then where did he run off to?" Bai Jie continued to ask.

"He works in the backyard, and it's quite cheap; he provides food and lodging." The four-legged creature waved its paws and said.

"?"

Bai Jie tilted her head. What was that? Didn't I tell him to come over and wait for me to come back? Oops~ I think I forgot to mention that.

I only let him come over and say that I was the one who introduced him.

Bai Jie had several black lines on her forehead.

Well, so the corner of the wall has been dug up too, right?

My heart is broken, family.

"What's wrong? Wasn't it you who introduced this person to work?" Seeing that Bai Jie hadn't spoken for a long time, the four-legged creature thought that there was something wrong with the fox.

Bai Jie's lips twitched slightly. She was doing chores, but only for me, helping me clean up.

It ended up becoming your wedding dress! Tears well up in my eyes.

Is it too late for me to pry open the corner of the wall now?

"It's nothing, I was the one who introduced them."

Bai Jie sighed.

Hearing this, the four-legged creature stretched and relaxed its body, which was still aching from being tormented by the rabbit master.

He yawned and said, "When I heard that he was introduced by you, I thought he was just another freeloader. I didn't expect him to be so enthusiastic and insist on helping with the work."

"Ah~ that's good too, it'll make things much easier." The four-legged creature smiled slightly.

"..."

Bai Jie said, "You don't need to say anything more. The more you talk, the more I feel cheated."

Well, since my own house isn't finished yet, I'll leave Meimei here for you to use for now.

In the evening, Meimei had dinner with everyone.

Hyakuzō returned alone with his beast.

"Mother~ I'm back!" Bai Zang happily ran to Bai Jie's side.

Bai Jie pinched his nose.

"It's good that you're back~ Is the house finished? What about Panhu?"

"It's not finished yet," Bai Zang said, shaking his head. "Brother Panhu said he's going out for a stroll."

"It's not finished yet?" Bai Jie asked, somewhat puzzled.

My own villa, and the little raccoon dog at home built it in no time.

"Yes, Xu Dashan said he'll try to finish building it within the next few days."

Bai Zang's answer made Bai Jie think for a moment. Hmm... Is it possible that there is a difference in strength between different types of Tanuki?

Or perhaps times have changed?

Forget it, I don't want to think about it too much. As long as I have a place to live, that's fine.

At dinner, the four-legged creature expressed its desire to go back to lying down.

Unfortunately, he's still experiencing phantom pain.

Rabbit Lord reluctantly followed along to serve the four-legged creature.

Thinking to myself: I have to make amends quickly, otherwise what if Sisi ignores me from now on?

The remaining few Pixiu and one fox just looked at each other.

"Alright, stop looking and let's eat," Bai Jie said.

Finally, after hearing this, everyone started eating their food, except for Meimei, who was a little confused.

Wow~ How come you four mythical beasts are eating gold bars?

Mei Mei looked at the gold bars in front of her and fell into deep self-doubt.

Could it be that eating gold bars is one of the basics to becoming a mythical beast?

He took a bite.

"Click——"

Meimei felt that her teeth were in danger.

Waaaaah, I want to eat roasted lizard!

He looked at Bai Jie with tears in his eyes.

Bai Jie couldn't help but laugh when she saw Mei Mei's appearance.

He deliberately placed the gold bars in front of Meimei. Any beast knows that gold bars are not something a fox can eat.

Surprisingly, Meimei actually copied her and took a bite!

"No roasted lizard, how about some instant noodles?" Bai Jie said, taking out a bag of instant noodles and waving it in front of Mei Mei.

“Eat!” Meimei nodded emphatically.

Bai Jie covered her mouth and smiled, placing the food on the table in front of him.

Meimei opened the package and started eating.

Thinking to myself, it seems I'll have to cook for myself from now on, otherwise I won't have anything to eat.

Hmm... when I'm not working, I go out and find some lizards to eat.

"So, what were you doing out with Rabbit Lord? You weren't here when I got back," Bai Jie said.

"Huh? It's just about letting Rabbit Lord go out with us for a stroll~ It's so boring staying here all the time." Tianlu said, chewing on a gold bar.

Tianlu felt bored, so he took Bixie and wanted to go out and play.

"I brought the Rabbit God along too, I wanted him to help me find some fun places to go~"

"So you found it?" Bai Jie asked, taking a sip of tea.

"No," Tianlu said, scratching his head.

"What's so fun about the mountains? It's all about health and wellness," Bai Jie said with a smile and a shake of her head.

In the mountains, the animals around you are what bring you joy.

If you're not a child and don't have any animals to keep you company, then learn from the Qilin (a mythical creature) how to take care of yourself in old age.

Tianlu blinked his big eyes, "Hmm... I think it's okay~"

"Come on, Tianlu, eat this." Seeing that Tianlu had finished the gold bar in his mouth, Bixie grabbed another one and fed it to him.

"Ah wu——"

Bai Zang watched his two older brothers being so close.

He turned to Bai Jie and said, "Mother~ I want one too~"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jie stopped chewing the gold bars.

He glanced at Bai Zang with a speechless look and continued eating his gold bars.

Bai Zang saw that his mother was not buying it.

It rubbed against Bai Jie's side, nuzzling her from left to right, calling out, "Mother~"

Helpless, Bai Jie rolled her eyes.

"Open your mouth."

Bai Zang's eyes narrowed into slits with joy, and she patted Bai Jie's face again, saying, "I knew Mother was the best!"

Bai Jie pursed her lips.

Tell me, how many beasts have you said this to?

Despite thinking this, Bai Jie still felt a little happy.

He put the gold bars into Baizang's mouth and began to feed him.

Meimei watched the four Pixiu from the side.

Suddenly, the instant noodles in my hand didn't taste so good anymore.

Then he shook his head violently.

"Love is a stumbling block on my road to success! I'm not envious, not even a little bit!"

Meimei channeled her grief and anger into her appetite, showing off her instant noodles.

Bai Jie fed Bai Zang.

But I always felt like something was missing from this store.

Hmm... what is it?

I can't remember right now.

. . .

At a river.

"Little brother, are you done washing? We should go back now," Golden Horn said to Silver Horn, who was still rinsing himself inside.

"Coming, coming!" Silver Horn shook himself and walked towards the shore.

"squeak--"

Silver Horn suddenly tripped over something and fell to the ground.

"Brother!" Jinjiao rushed forward to check on him.

Silver Horn used its claws to push itself up from the ground.

"What is that? It tripped me up?"

Silver Horn looked down and spotted... a black loach?
