There is a beast: (Hundred Explanations)

Bai Jie put all the jade stones into her storage space.

"Let's walk back slowly, you must be tired after a long day." Bai Jie glanced at the still panting Si Bu Xiang, and this time she didn't lie on Si Bu Xiang's head.

"Yay! Time to go back for dinner!" Cotton Peach said happily.

She walked at the front, and it was clear that although she had been busy all day, her enthusiasm had not diminished.

Bai Jie and Si Bu Xiang followed behind Mian Tao.

Bai Jie suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, do you know a bird called a white cereus?" Bai Jie asked curiously.

"White Ye? What's that?" Mian Tao was a little confused when she heard Bai Jie mention the name.

Bai Jie then realized that it was impossible for anyone to know her name just by saying it.

"It's a bird with stripes on its head, white wings, and yellow feet. Bai Ze said we could find this kind of bird along the way, but we didn't find any." Bai Jie was still thinking about that white ye. Since Bai Ze said it was delicious, it shouldn't be bad.

Cotton Boll frowned, thinking, "Is this what a bird looks like?" Then, as if realizing something, her face turned terrified.

"Please, please! Don't go looking for that bird!" Cotton Peach said anxiously, waving her claws.

"what happened?"

Bai Jie was a little stunned to see Mian Tao so flustered. What was going on? It was just a bird, wasn't it? She had hardly ever heard of this bird in her previous life. Was it something powerful?

"Hmm...actually, I've never seen that bird before, but my father told me a story about it," Cotton Peach said mysteriously.

"Once upon a time, there was a Mengji who went out to wander and caught a very delicious bird, just like the one described in Baijie. So that Mengji wanted to find more of these birds to bring back to his family, but he found a divine beast with a long tail and only one eye. The Mengji took one more look and was severely injured by the creature's tail. He was only saved by the help of other members of his tribe!"

After saying that, Mian Tao trembled all over, a little scared.

"So whatever you do, don't go looking for it!" Cotton Peach said again.

Bai Jie was a little confused. What kind of mythical beast was this? It seemed somewhat familiar. She would go back and ask Bai Ze. He must have woken up after sleeping for so long, right?

"Okay, okay, I won't go look for it~" Bai Jie said with a smile, while inwardly she was pondering whether she should go and see this divine beast. If she could recruit it into her team...

They slowly walked back to Miantao's house. Along the way, Miantao repeatedly emphasized that they should never go looking for that bird called Baiye, because she didn't want to lose her good friend Baijie.

Bai Ze has woken up and is chatting happily with Mian Tao's father.

Seeing them like this, Bai Jie thought, "These two guys seem to get along really well."

When Cotton Peach's father saw the three beasts approaching from afar, he immediately raised his paw, calling out, "Cotton~"

"Father!" Mian Tao ran to her father's side and rubbed against him. The father and daughter had a pretty good relationship.

Seeing that Mian Tao and his father were still exchanging pleasantries, Bai Jie decided not to disturb them for the time being.

He and Si Bu Xiang walked straight up to Bai Ze.

Bai Ze noticed that the Pixiu had come to his side again, which meant there was another problem.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ze asked.

“Ask a mythical beast with a long tail and only one eye. It should be in the same place as the white ye you mentioned,” Bai Jie said.

"Oh~ you mean Zhujian? He is indeed with Baiye." Upon hearing Bai Jie's description, Bai Ze immediately understood that Bai Jie was referring to Zhujian.

"How is that Zhujian? Can he communicate or anything?" Bai Jie asked the question that concerned her the most.

He nodded to himself. So it was Zhu Jian. He had heard of the name before, but hadn't learned much about him and didn't have a strong impression of him. He only knew that this guy was pretty strong.

Bai Ze listened to Bai Jie's words and thought for a while.

"Hmm... he is indeed not easy to talk to. That guy hates it when people look at his tail. He considers his tail to be the most precious thing. Of course, his tail is also his most powerful thing. If you keep staring at his tail, he will take it as a provocation and then smash you to pieces," Bai Ze explained to Bai Jie.

"If this Zhujian is so fierce, why did you recommend that I catch that bird called Baiye?" Bai Jie asked, her eyes narrowing as she stared at Bai Ze.

"Haha~ We don't necessarily have to encounter Zhujian to catch them. We can all fly, so wouldn't it be great to catch a few white ye in the sky?" Bai Ze said with a smile. He also wanted to taste the white ye, but he wouldn't risk his life.

Bai Jie nodded, agreeing. She couldn't find any cat cakes, so it seemed she had misunderstood this guy.

He patted the four-legged creature beside him with his paw. "Looks like I'll still have to trouble you."

The four creatures, seemingly oblivious to Bai Jie's face, said, "The matter of the gold thread is not troublesome at all~"

Bai Ze rolled his eyes. Was this really a scene he could watch? It was so sickeningly sweet—the lovebirds smelled so sour and nauseating, I had to stay away.

Thinking this to himself, he moved quickly with his feet, retreating rapidly to a distance of five meters from the two affectionate beasts.

Hmm... Bai Jie's action towards Bai Ze was really necessary. It was just a normal conversation, wasn't it? Why did she have to step back so far?

"Then let's rest for a few days, catch some white ye (giants), and then we can start our return journey," Bai Jie nodded.

Si Bu Xiang nodded; he hadn't seen Xiao Yun Duo in a long time and missed her terribly.

Bai Ze agreed. He was no longer sleepy from yesterday and now that he had regained his energy, he naturally agreed to arrive as soon as possible and end his journey sooner.

Bai Ze now feels that the more he slacks off, the more tired he gets. It would be better to arrive earlier so he can rest sooner.

"Hey, right, where's Bai Nue?" Bai Jie suddenly realized that she hadn't asked where Bai Nue was yet.

"It's in the north, not very far," Bai Ze said, pointing north.

Bai Jie nodded, realizing that it was indeed more reliable to ask Bai Ze about these matters.

. . .

at night.

It was bedtime. Cotton Peach's father had already asked about the abnormality in Cotton Peach's body. Bai Ze said that the snack Cotton Peach ate had mutated. It's normal for some anomalies to occasionally appear in that species.

Moreover, the side effects aren't very strong; it just causes sleepwalking every night, which isn't too serious.

Bai Jie lay nestled in Si Bu Xiang's arms as usual.

"Rua!" Cotton bob pounced on Bai Jie.

The Four-Faced Beast was also helpless. He had tried to pry open the little spot countless times, but it just stuck to his little golden thread like a crushed sticky fruit.

There's no way around it, the three of them will have to sleep together again tonight.

Bai Ze went to sleep early. After absorbing so much knowledge every day, it was quite important to take good care of his mental state.

Cotton Peach's father watched silently from the other side as the three Cotton Peach beasts slept for another day.
