There is a beast: (Hundred Explanations)

"Big sister, let me tell you, that golden Pixiu is terrifying! It ate both the red and blue Pixiu!" Qiongqi said to Chaos.

"Oh? Is that so?" Chaos also became interested, but he didn't believe Qiongqi's nonsense. A beast like Bai Jie wouldn't do something like eating its own kind.

"Really, really! I saw it with my own eyes!" Qiongqi said anxiously beside Chaos, just like a child tattles on something to their parents.

"Then let's go take a look together?" Looking at Qiongqi's expression, Chaos felt it didn't seem fake, and she decided to go see what was wrong with Bai Jie.

. . .

The place is clean and white.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking for me at this hour? It's almost dinner time, isn't it?" Bai Jie didn't understand why Hun Dun had come to see her now.

Bai Jie suddenly spotted Qiongqi hiding behind the chaos. Tsk~

"You mean how I ate the Tianlu Bixie?" Bai Jie smiled.

Chaos nodded. It was indeed true. She was quite shocked after hearing Qiongqi tell her, so she came to find out the truth.

"Hahaha~ Of course I won't eat those two guys. They're like brothers to me. Eating them would bring me no benefit whatsoever, and might even get me a few lashes from my 'father'." Bai Jie pointed to the sky and said.

Qiongqi thought about it and realized that it made sense; now it was his turn to be embarrassed.

"They went into my stomach to find something, but they're out now, so don't worry," Bai Jie told them.

Pixiu can hide inside the body of another being; this is a little-known secret of the Pixiu clan.

"They've already gone back to their rooms. You can go look for them, and after you're done, come to the backyard to prepare for dinner." Bai Jie smiled at them.

"Ah, okay, I'm sorry to bother you, Bai Jie." Thinking back to how he had accompanied Qiong Qi to Bai Jie's door after hearing what Qiong Qi had said, he realized he hadn't checked whether the Tianlu and Bixie beasts were still there. It was his oversight.

Bai Jie waved her hand and went to the backyard with Si Bu Xiang, who was still in the room exchanging something with Bai Zang.

. . .

dinner time.

The beasts sat around the fire.

Chaos poked Qiongqi's head, signaling him to apologize to Bai Jie.

"Um... I misunderstood you. I got a little flustered when I saw you eat those two Pixiu." Qiongqi said, unable to bring himself to say "sorry" or "apology." But from his bowed head and expression, it was clear he had come to admit his mistake; he was just being stubborn.

Bai Jie wasn't angry. Qiongqi had only suffered from a lack of knowledge; he was still quite intelligent. He knew to call his parents instead of rushing up and tearing into Bai Jie. Otherwise, Qiongqi would probably have been thrown into the pigsty.

"I don't really care~ I just didn't expect you to care so much about Tianlu Bixie. I thought it would take a long time for your relationship to improve." Bai Jie shrugged and then covered her mouth with a laugh.

Tianlu and Bixie now understood the situation. They wondered why the big guy and the thief had come over earlier. It turned out they had seen them crawl into Bai Jie's stomach. But why was the thief so concerned about them? Bixie and Tianlu's gazes towards Qiongqi were less hostile.

"Hey! What kind of looks are those!" Qiongqi's face turned bright red. He just wanted to lower his sister's impression of the golden Pixiu or even break off their friendship. What kind of looks were those!

Tianlu patted Qiongqi on the shoulder, "It's alright. Since you care about us so much, we'll protect you from now on!"

"Who needs your protection?!" Qiongqi was a little frantic and rushed up to tear into Tianlu.

"You bastard! You really are a bad guy!" Tianlu refused to admit defeat and turned the tables, switching from defense to offense.

Watching the two animals frolicking on the grass, the other animals all shook their heads with smiles; they really got along well!

Taotie watched Qiongqi tearing at Tianlu, and silently swapped Qiongqi's flesh with its own. Hmm, Qiongqi's flesh was bigger; anyway, he was busy, so he probably wouldn't notice.

Meanwhile, the sharp-eyed Qiongqi on the ground cried out, "Hey! Taotie, what are you doing! You're stealing my meat!"

Qiongqi pulled Taotie in as well, leaving Taotie laughing loudly next to Chaos.

"Alright, stop fooling around, or we'll end up with dirt in our mouths." Bai Jie said with disgust, looking at the constantly flying grass clippings and dirt.

Hearing what Bai Jie said, the little ones finally quieted down. Tianlu's face was covered in mud, but he looked very energetic. Clearly, he had won the "battle" just now.

It stuck out its tongue to lick the mud off its body, "Clang!"

Tianlu gets beaten up every day.

"Forgot your stomachache? You licked mud into your belly again?"

Seeing Bai Jie's beast-eating expression, Tianlu shrank back and chuckled, "Forgot already..."

"..."

Bai Jie was speechless at Tianlu's simple-mindedness, but then an idea suddenly struck him, and his eyes lit up. He had it.

Bai Jie summoned Li Li and said something to him.

Tianlu looked at Bai Jie's mysterious demeanor, and his heart suddenly tightened, with a sense of foreboding.

A few minutes later.

Tanuki came over with a trumpet-shaped object, which he had made from mud and some stones.

"Ta-da~ This is the exclusive item I just made for Tianlu—the Elizabethan collar!" Bai Jie took it from Tanuki's paw, which had just been fitted with the Elizabethan collar, and introduced it to everyone.

"? It looks so strange, what's this for..." The beasts looked at the peculiar Elizabethan collar and asked Bai Jie in confusion.

"Mmm...like this."

As Bai Jie spoke, she placed the Elizabethan collar over Tianlu's head.

"That way, Tianlu won't lick the fur and mud into his stomach."

"Huh? It seems to be true! It's just that the field of vision is a bit small." Tianlu still didn't understand the seriousness of the situation.

"Pfft... Pfft hahaha!!" Qiongqi couldn't hold back anymore; Tianlu looked so funny.

"Pfft haha~"

With Qiongqi leading the way, the other beasts couldn't help but laugh.

"Huh? What's going on? What are you all laughing about?" Tianlu was completely bewildered.

Seeing the surrounding beasts laughing, Tianlu walked up to Bai Jie with a pitiful expression and activated his cuteness skill!

However, Bai Jie wasn't buying it.

"Pfft... It's okay, it's okay. This circle suits you quite well." Bai Jie covered her mouth and laughed.

"That's right, that's right, you're a perfect match for me! Hahaha!" Qiongqi laughed so hard he started pounding the ground.

"Bai Jie!!! Bi Xie, please help me, waaaaah~" Tian Lu said to Bi Xie with teary eyes. Since the cuteness trick didn't work on Bai Jie, she would try it on Bi Xie.

"Stop calling me 'Bixie' (a mythical beast). I'll help you get rid of this bad habit of licking your fur." ​​Bai Jie told Tianlu to give up on that idea.

Tianlu, heartbroken, lay on the ground as he looked at the unmoved Bixie.

"Gurgle~" Tianlu was hungry. He got up again and reached for the piece of meat in front of his paw. The problem was, the Elizabethan collar was too big; he couldn't reach it!

"Hahaha~" Qiongqi burst into laughter again. He had never seen such a hilarious scene before.

Tears welled up in Tianlu's eyes; he had never felt so humiliated!

"To ward off evil spirits..."

“Let me feed you.” Pixie fed Tianlu meat and whispered in his ear, “When we get back, I’ll remove this circle from you. You should also get rid of your habit of licking your fur as soon as possible, so that Baijie won’t say anything when he sees it.”

"The Bixie is still the best! Waaah~" Tianlu hugged the Bixie and rubbed against it, but the Elizabethan collar stood between them.
