There is a beast: (Hundred Explanations)

The two beasts closed their eyes and sensed what abnormalities were inside the cotton boll.

After sensing for a long time, Cotton Peach's father seemed to give up a bit, since there was clearly nothing there.

However, when he opened his eyes, he saw Bai Jie still frowning and carefully examining the body. He was not willing to give up, as his daughter's father, he couldn't just abandon her like that.

He then closed his eyes and continued the examination more carefully.

He hadn't noticed anything about Bai Jie either, which was what puzzled him. How could he not find anything even with his own abilities?

Just as Bai Jie was about to give up, he sensed a small point of light moving slightly in a corner.

"At this!"

Bai Jie's energy instantly enveloped the point of light, leaving it nowhere to escape.

Cotton Peach's father reacted quickly as well, his energy surging over instantly. Under the powerful dream energy of the two beasts, the point of light was washed away and dissipated.

They both exited the state they were in.

"Hmm? You guys are done? How was it? Nothing, right?" Cotton Peach said, feeling the energy within her body recede.

The two beasts looked at Mian Tao with a strange expression. Didn't they feel the commotion just now?

"Why do you look at me like that? Is there really something there?" Cotton Peach said, her gaze on the two beasts wavering.

Cotton Boll's father nodded. "There was something in a corner of your body just now, but it has dissipated under your father's energy!"

I can't let this rare opportunity to impress my daughter slip by!

Bai Jie was speechless; he didn't even want to expose this cotton boll father.

"Hey—Daddy's bragging. If it were that place with lots of energy, the energy from Bai Jie would have arrived first, and Daddy would have found it later," Mian Tao said, making a face at her daddy.

When Cotton Peach's father heard this, his face flushed red. What was this girl saying, spouting such obvious truths?

"Ahem, no, no~ I noticed that anomaly back then too, so I came over quickly." Cotton Peach's father coughed and said.

He glanced at Bai Jie beside him and saw that she didn't seem to mind, which increased his liking for her.

It seems this Pixiu is quite good; even though he stole the credit, no one exposed him. If Bai Jie had jumped up and accused him of stealing the credit, it would have been much more embarrassing than if Mian Tao had said it, since there would have been no way to explain it.

"Really?" Miantao looked at her father suspiciously.

“Of course it’s true! This young friend can testify!” Cotton Peach’s father said, then frantically winked at Bai Jie.

"Ah, right, right, right~" Bai Jie said with a smile, spreading her hands.

The beasts of this era were unaware of the deeper meaning of those words and simply took it as Bai Jie's admission.

"See? Daddy's still pretty awesome!" Cotton Peach's father felt incredibly satisfied, finally able to show off his power in front of his daughter!

"Tch~ You still don't believe your father. Bai Jie must be just being modest!" Mian Tao looked at her father's expression and was unwilling to admit it.

Cotton Peach's father hadn't been happy for more than a few minutes when he heard Cotton Peach's words and froze instantly, drawing circles in disappointment on the side.

"Bai Jie, Bai Jie~ What is that thing?" Ignoring her disappointed father, Mian Tao ran straight to Bai Jie and asked.

"I don't know either, this is the first time I've encountered this," Bai Jie said, acknowledging that Bai Ze should recognize this thing, as she had asked about an area where she was unfamiliar with it.

His eyes drifted in Bai Ze's direction. Well, he shouldn't have looked; that lazybones was still sleeping. He'd ask him later.

“Okay—” Cotton Peach said.

"Now that it's over, Miantao should get some rest," Bai Jie said, rubbing Miantao's head.

"Hmm...but I'm not tired! I don't need to rest~" Cotton Peach squinted as she enjoyed Bai Jie rubbing her head.

Cotton Peach's father, who had just turned around after trying to muster his courage, saw this scene and was struck dumb again, so he went back to drawing circles.

"Let's go for a walk around~ You haven't told us about this mountain yet, have you?" Bai Jie suggested.

"Okay, okay!" Cotton Peach jumped up and said. She was very good at giving introductions!

“I want to go too,” said the Four-Faced Beast.

. . .

In the mountains.

Bai Jie and Mian Tao, two strange creatures, walked along the mountain path.

Walking on a road without any vegetation is a novel experience, at least he had never experienced it before.

Occasionally, some gravel would be covered by snow on the road. Fortunately, as divine beasts, they have high defense. If it were an ordinary human with fragile skin, their feet would probably bleed if they weren't wearing thick shoes.

The cotton boll hopped and skipped along the road, looking very happy.

She started introducing everything about the mountains to Bai Jie, but... there didn't seem to be much to introduce?

She suddenly saw something and exclaimed happily.

"There's a solution! There's a solution!"

"What's wrong?" Bai Jie asked, then went over to Si Bu Xiang.

As they approached Miantao, they saw a white jade stone on a mountain wall.

"Look! This is a different color of stone from the mountains. If Baijie likes it, I'll help you dig it out!" After saying that, Miantao stretched out her claws and scratched around the jade stone.

The Four-Faced Beast also realized that its golden thread had mentioned that it quite liked to eat it! It quickly went up to dig with the cotton boll.

However, things didn't go as planned. The phantom's claws were too short, and its attack power was almost zero. The claws could only leave a few faint marks when they hit the phantom, let alone dig it open.

"Get out of the way, you stinky Qilin, you're getting in my way!" Cotton Peach said mercilessly, looking at the useless Qilin that had come over.

Silently walked to the side, thinking, "Forget it, I won't lose the beast. I'll find something easy to dig up later. Hmm, I'll give this one to Little Spot."

A moment later, Miantao handed Bai Jie the jade she had just dug out from her paws.

"Let's try Baijie!" Cotton Boil's eyes lit up.

"Okay~" Bai Jie said with a smile.

He put the jade in his mouth and chewed it a few times. Hmm~ it was a completely new taste, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Perhaps it was the mixed flavor of banana and lychee from his past life? A bit strange, but not bad~

"It's quite delicious~ Thank you for your hard work, Miantao!" Bai Jie thanked Miantao.

"Hehehe~ I'm glad Bai Jie likes to eat them. There aren't many other things in these mountains, but there are tons of these stones! Let's hurry up and collect some more." Mian Tao said happily, and then she ran ahead to look for jade.

The Four-Unlikes also ran off to search with Cotton Peach, determined to find some pieces for Bai Jie.

Bai Jie also went to find some jade on her own. Didn't that little guy Bai Zang want some local specialties? This is pretty good.

He placed the jade he found directly in his storage space, while the Four-Unlikes and Cotton Peach were placed in a flat area since Bai Jie might not be there when they returned.

By the end of the day, the spot specifically for storing jade was piled high with stones, enough to feed Bai Jie for a month.

"Hmph~ Stinky Qilin, you didn't dig as much as I did, did you~" Cotton Peach said to the Four-Faced Beast with a victorious look.

Panting heavily, Si Bu Xiang said defiantly, "But I helped carry all these stones back; you couldn't have done it yourself!"

“Even without you, I can still move all of this back! I can just make a few more trips!” Cotton Peach pouted, this Qilin was just being stubborn.

"Alright, you two are both very good, thank you~" Bai Jie patted the head of the four-legged creature with her left paw, while her right paw rubbed the head of the cotton boll.

The four-faced creature pursed its lips, but since the golden thread had said so, then let's let this little spot go!

"Alright~ Since Bai Jie has said so, then I won't argue! Hehe~" Mian Tao chuckled.
