There is a beast: (Hundred Explanations)

When Tianlu saw that Miantao had finally opened her mouth, he shook his head.

It swallowed all the gold bars that had been spat out from the ground.

Hmm... The beasts were speechless at Tianlu's actions. Luckily, you didn't recycle all those chewed-up flowers, grasses, and animals. Otherwise, if Bai Jie knew you were using his body like that, he would definitely sever ties with you immediately.

Si Bu Xiang sighed, "Never mind, let's go back first."

His tone was full of disappointment.

----

Deer Man Store.

The four-legged creature on the second floor was disturbed by Bai Zang's crying and fussing.

"What's wrong? What's going on?" The four-legged creature slowly walked down. "If this noise continues, no customers will come to the shop."

The strange-looking mask with its squinty eyes seemed to hide something rather awkward.

I don't know why the little guy is crying so loudly.

And Bai Jie, that girl, her own son is crying so loudly, doesn't she even know to get up and comfort him?

Wait, something seems wrong. Why isn't Bai Jie up yet?

The sound could probably be heard from ten meters away from the Deer Man Shop, so how could he not wake up?

The four-legged creature covered its ears and approached Bai Cang, patting Bai Cang with its paw.

Feeling the physical touch, he turned his head sharply, only to find it wasn't the person he was hoping for, and tears welled up in his eyes again!

This caused the four-legged creature, which had just opened its mouth to ask a question, to choke on its words.

What's wrong with this kid...? Seeing that nothing was working, he went to 'Bai Jie's' body and nudged her a few times, but there was no movement. He frowned and gently checked Bai Jie's breath with his paw. Hmm... good, still... hmm? Gone? Huh?

The four-legged creature squinted its eyes [although the mask itself was designed to have squinty eyes], and its forehead was tightly furrowed.

He picked up his phone, opened his contacts, and scrolled down.

Stop in front of a name.

"Hello, is this Diting? I have something to ask you... Uh? Can't you hear me? Wait a minute..." The Qilin covered the phone with its claws and turned to Baizang, "Stop making noise!!! I can't hear you!! Do you still want Baijie?!" The huge roar instantly drowned out Baizang's crying.

Bai Zang was so startled by this sudden turn of events that he forgot to cry. His eyes were streaked with tears, and he couldn't stop hiccuping, probably because his diaphragm was spasming from crying so hard.

The Underworld's Di Ting felt as if something had exploded in its ears, and it rubbed its ears in distress.

"Ah, Di Ting, I have a question to ask," the Qilin said in a serious tone.

"Yes, I'm listening," Di Ting said.

The fact that it's asking itself such a serious question means it must have died with someone, but it's probably just some ordinary fairy or something that it was close to. Divine beasts generally have very long lifespans and most of them won't have any problems.

Thinking this, Di Ting picked up the teacup on his desk and took a sip, planning to use the 'Electronic Life and Death Record' to check for the Four-Faced Beast later.

"Do you know Bai Jie? It seems he's dead?"

"Oh, Bai Jie..." Di Ting picked up the 'Electronic Life and Death Record' and started searching, but for a moment he didn't react.

"Wait, which Hundred Solutions are you talking about?" Di Ting was taken aback.

"Emmm... the one in my shop seems to be dead. His son is crying his heart out. That's the sound you heard just now." The four-legged creature's lips twitched a few times.

Di Ting slammed its claws on the table and stood up abruptly. "Wait a minute, I'll be right there."

The death of Bai Jie is no small matter; he was someone who had received special attention from above, and he can't just disappear like that.

"Dududu-"

Diting hung up the phone and was about to get up.

"What happened?" Qinghuo happened to be passing by and wanted Diting to check which side had more troublesome ghosts so he could go out and do something.

"Hmm, I have to go to the Deer Man's shop. Bai Jie is 'dead.' I feel like something's not right. Da Di doesn't know either. He said he just died in his sleep." Di Ting waved his paw and said.

"Huh? Um... Okay, hurry back." Qinghuo listened, bewildered. It was all text, how come I couldn't understand it when it was all put together?

"By the way, if he really 'dies,' please comfort that little guy Baizang for me." Qinghuo couldn't leave the underworld, so even if he wanted to go and see him, there was nothing he could do.

----

"What's the situation?"

Di Ting rushed over in a panic and asked.

"The body is safe and sound at the grave," the four-legged creature said after a moment's thought.

"?"

"Just kidding, he's right here." The four-legged creature pointed to Bai Jie, who was lying in the living room, sleeping peacefully. "It's a good thing Bai Zang isn't crying anymore, otherwise you'd be in for a world of hurt."

Di Ting did not see any trace of Bai Jie's spirit. Before coming here, he had even gone to areas in the underworld where new spirits frequently entered, but he found nothing.

Bai Zang was feeling down all by himself. After a long while, he shook his little head and said, "I'm a big Pixiu now! I can't cry so easily!"

He wiped away the remaining tears with his paws and took a deep sniff.

Then I looked back and realized that this was the first time I had ever cried so sadly in my life. I remember that the previous times I cried, it was just a pain in my buttocks, but I had never felt so heartbroken.

'Hmph, so what if Mother ran away without me... I...'

"Waaaaah—!" Hyakuzo successfully made himself cry again.

Hyakuzo's body even shrank back to his childhood state due to excessive grief.

"...Never mind what I said." The four-legged creature retracted its statement.

Di Ting walked to Bai Zang's side and said, "Little guy, do you want to come to the underworld? You and your mother must have a special connection, right? Why don't you come to the underworld and see if you can find his soul?"

"I can't find it, I can't find it! Waaah!"

"How could that be? Come, I'll take you there."

Di Ting didn't take it seriously. Where else could a wandering soul go if it didn't run to the underworld or the world of the living?

"This little guy is borrowed for now. You go ahead and do your work. I'll come find you to play mahjong next time." Di Ting hugged the small Bai Zang like a puppy and went back to the underworld.

Seeing Di Ting leave with Bai Cang, I breathed a sigh of relief. Sigh, I hope nothing bad happened.

He looked at Bai Jie's 'corpse' and thought, "Hmm... it's not good to just leave him in the shop like this. Let's move him a bit."

He dragged Bai Jie into the doghouse by the door.

"Well, Pipi's not around lately anyway, so this is a good place to put it."

"Ha~" The four-legged creature yawned. "I'm so sleepy, I'm so sleepy. I'm going back to sleep for a while and wait for Di to hear the good news."

"Huh? Isn't this Bai Jie's phone? There seem to be a few messages, but I can't see what they are. They're password protected. Oh well, Bai Zang should know them himself. I'll leave them here for now."

----

The place is clean and white.

Bai Jie frantically sent messages to her parallel world counterpart's phone using her mobile phone, but all of them went unanswered.

Fei Yu patted Bai Jie's head, "Relax, Xiao Zang probably just didn't see it. He should have replied by now."

Fei Yu was overjoyed to see Bai Jie regain consciousness; it had been so long since she woke up.

"Mian Tao and the others will be back soon, so let's get some rest first~"
