There is a beast: (Hundred Explanations)

The desert was vast. Bai Jie and her companions flew eastward along its edge, and even after flying for a long time, they could still see the yellow sand on their left.

The sun has already set in the west, and night has fallen once again.

The three white beasts landed in an open space; it seemed they could only rest here today.

“The Yellow Sea is so vast,” the Sibixiang remarked from the side.

"It's alright, smaller than the desert we went to last time." Bai Jie didn't have much to say about it. They had slowed down to accommodate Bai Ze's pace, so this desert wasn't actually that big.

They rested at the edge of the desert, where green and yellow met.

Bai Jie lay on the ground looking at the sky. The stars were twinkling everywhere. After a day of being out in the wind, it was time to rest and relax.

"The moon is so round tonight," said the Four-Faced Beast, looking up at the sky.

"Yes," Bai Jie nodded.

"I wonder how Little Cloud and the others have been these past few days?" Si Bu Xiang asked with a squinting smile.

Bai Zang hasn't returned to Bai Jie's dream these past few days, but he did visit Bai Jie at the villa, where those guys were having a great time in the room.

“They’re having a lot of fun, but Little Zang isn’t very well-behaved—” Bai Jie said to the Four-Faced Beast, “That egg only eats my dream energy and your divine power, and your parents are at their wits’ end.”

"Huh? Is that so?" Si Bu Xiang scratched his head in confusion.

"But maybe it's because they're our children~" Sibixiang rubbed its face against Bai Jie.

Bai Jie shook her head and smiled. That must be the reason, but it had only added more trouble for her.

Bai Ze watched the two beasts being affectionate in silence, and couldn't help but think: Is this what partners are like? Should I avoid them? But is this how it is after you have a partner?

Bai Ze has a vast knowledge base and knows almost everything, but even after knowing all that, it's still hard for him to understand this kind of affection.

He scratched his chin, perhaps similar to my fondness for water? That's certainly quite nice.

"I've heard that there are also divine beasts and immortals on the moon," Bai Ze said as he approached Bai Jie and the other two beasts.

"Hmm? Are there mythical beasts and immortals there too?" The Four-Faced Beast was very curious.

Bai Jie wasn't too surprised, as he already knew that humans and beasts lived on the moon.

However, there is only one mythical beast, and that is the Moon Rabbit, a magical species.

“Yes, there is a sinner there who stole the elixir of immortality,” Bai Ze said.

"An elixir of immortality?" The Four-Faced Beast was puzzled. They were all divine beasts with long lifespans and didn't really need such an elixir of immortality.

So Bai Ze must be referring to those later generations of humans. As far as he knew, these humans had extremely short lifespans, at most a hundred years.

"Human lifespan is too short. The elixir of immortality was originally given by the Queen Mother of the West to a human with exceptional archery skills, but it was stolen and eaten," Bai Ze said, shaking his head.

"Oh, you should also know about that human with superb archery skills, the one who shot down nine golden crows in the sky." Bai Ze was afraid they didn't know, so he gave the Four-No-Forms a little background information.

"How could it be afraid of death if it could shoot down that Golden Crow?" Four-Faced was a little surprised. Although he had never dealt with the Golden Crow, he could tell from the appearance of Chaos, the friend of Golden Thread, that it was definitely a very powerful divine beast.

"Pfft~" Bai Jie was amused by the Four-No-Xiang. "Even if humans are very capable at this time, it's too exaggerated to be able to shoot down the Golden Crow with ordinary things. They must have used something else."

“Yes, that human used a divine bow to shoot down the nine golden crows one by one,” Bai Ze nodded and said, while glancing at Bai Jie again. This Pixiu knew quite a lot.

Bai Jie was speechless at Hou Yi's actions in this world. Even though one of the golden crows had already been captured by Tianlu and Bixie, leaving only nine golden crows in the sky, Hou Yi still fired nine arrows at the golden crows in the sky, blasting the sun out of the sky. He was quite clever.

The Four-Faced Beast was very interested, but when he wanted to ask more questions...

"Alright, I'm tired too. Let's go to sleep early," Bai Ze said with a yawn, then went to the side to sleep.

Seeing the bewildered look on the Four-Faced Beast's face, Bai Jie laughed and patted it on the back. "Alright, it is indeed quite late. Let's continue asking another day~ If he doesn't tell you, I'll tell you."

Bai Jie had some knowledge of these well-known folk myths, although she might not be as detailed as Bai Ze, she could still give a general overview.

Si Bu Xiang felt that Bai Jie must be comforting him, since Bai Jie was born later than him, how could she possibly know these stories?

"Thank you, Golden Thread~" Si Bu Xiang hugged Bai Jie tightly and thanked her.

"Alright, go to sleep, go to sleep. Get to Cotton Boiler's place as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible." Bai Jie smiled and patted the four-legged creature's big paws.

. . .

In a dream.

"Bai Jie~ How much longer until you get there~" Cotton Peach rubbed against Bai Jie's side.

The Four-Faced Beast looked at the cotton boll rubbing against its golden thread again, and it became annoyed.

The claws lifted the cotton boll by the scruff of its neck, and the cotton boll's body immediately lost its strength.

She looked up at the strange creature, "What are you doing? Put me down right now!"

Its claws and feet thrashed helplessly.

"Alright, put it down." Looking at the strange creature's appearance, Bai Jie covered her mouth and laughed.

“Okay—” Sibixiang put the cotton boll on the ground.

Cotton Peach glared at the Four-Faced Beast with annoyance. "What's it to you if I'm just cuddling with my best friend? What a petty person you are."

"Getting back to the main topic, it might be a while before we get there. We've encountered the Yellow Sea, so we need to take a longer route. But don't worry, the time difference won't be too much," Bai Jie said, ruffling Mian Tao's head.

"Huh? Huang Hai again?" Mian Tao was a little surprised. She remembered that she had already met Huang Hai not long before she met Bai Jie. She didn't expect that there was also a connection between her family and Bai Jie's family.

“Okay…” Cotton Peach said, looking down. She knew that it was best to avoid going into the Yellow Sea area if possible, as there was almost no good fruit juice to be found there.

"Then you should be careful on the road," Cotton Peach added.

"Of course, Cotton Peach, you should take good care of yourself too," Bai Jie said with a smile.

This cotton boll is quite mature and knows a lot of things. Although she often acts like a child, the innocence she retains is part of her charm.

"Hmph~ Of course! I usually eat super well!" Cotton Peach said, raising her head.

Her parents would always give her good food, even though it was winter. But that didn't matter; she could eat and drink as usual.

The night passed quickly, and Bai Jie went to check on the villa during that time, but nothing else happened.
