There is a beast: (Hundred Explanations)

Bai Cang arrived at the backyard and found two beasts squatting under the Evergreen Sapling. The Evergreen Sapling seemed to have grown a little bigger, probably because of the rich divine power.

There's a faint light flickering beside this periwinkle sapling—is that a... glowing bug!?

Bai Zang was a little confused. Wasn't it the dead of winter? Where did these shiny bugs come from?

He slowly approached Tianlu Bixie.

"Brother Tianlu, Brother Bixie, what are you doing here? What are these shiny bugs?" Baizang greeted Tianlu and Bixie and asked the question he was concerned about.

“Brother Baizang, Bixie and I saw you were resting, so we came out to play.” Tianlu said to Baizang with a smile.

Bixie nodded from the side: "I came out to take care of Tianlu."

Bai Zang understood; so that's how it is.

"Then what are these shiny bugs...?" Bai Zang asked, pointing to the shiny bugs around the periwinkle saplings.

"I don't know. Tianlu and I just saw this sapling glowing, so we came to take a look," Bixie explained.

"I didn't expect there to be shiny stink bugs at this time of year! Let's catch some for Jiang Jiang!" Tianlu suggested.

"Sure, I just saw Big Guy playing with Jiang Jiang. Let's catch some shiny bugs. He shouldn't be asleep yet." Bai Cang didn't care why the shiny bugs were near the periwinkle tree.

They were probably attracted by it, but this time it's a good deal for the three little Pixiu.

Bai Zang immediately joined the operation to capture the Bright Farting Bug.

Inside the bedroom, Bai Jie was routinely coming to the room to feed the little ones.

"I'm back~" Bai Jie pushed open the door to her room, but did not see the three Pixiu.

"Where did the three little ones go?" he wondered as he walked to the corner where the food was usually kept and replenished it.

After that, I went to the room of the First Kirin to "nurture" Little Hyakuzō.

Everything was over, but Bai Zang and the others still didn't come back.

Where did he go? Did he run into trouble while he was out? Bai Jie wondered to herself, feeling a little worried.

"Is it Bai Jie? If he's looking for Xiao Zang, he just went towards the backyard." Chaos heard footsteps in the corridor, opened the door, and saw Bai Jie looking like she was searching for some beast.

"Is that so? Thank you so much, Big Guy!" Bai Jie nodded and thanked him.

He received the message and was about to go to the backyard to see what they were doing so late.

"Mother! Big guy~" Bai Zang's voice came from the bottom of the stairs, and then a small white Pixiu led two other Pixiu slowly up.

They had shiny stink bugs tied with grass in their mouths.

"What are you... shiny fart bugs?" Bai Jie asked the same question as Bai Zang had asked before.

“Yes!” Baizang said, “We caught these in the backyard!”

"Will there be stink bugs in the backyard too? With so much snow, will stink bugs even appear?" Bai Jie scratched her brow and asked.

"Hehehe~ Actually, we didn't know either. There were shiny bugs all around that periwinkle sapling, so we caught them and brought them back." Bai Cang scratched his head and said.

Bai Jie pondered for a while. It seemed that the divine power before the chaos had enhanced the environmental adaptability of some creatures, such as some trees and the bright-footed bug just now.

"Big guy~ Is Jiang Jiang asleep? We want to give Jiang Jiang the Bright-Spotted Bug." Tianlu ran up to Chaos and said.

Chaos gently rubbed Tianlu's head.

"Not yet, why don't you come in first?" Chaos opened the gates and said to the four Pixiu in front of her.

“Okay~” the four Pixiu replied.

Bai Jie was also a little curious, as he had never been inside Chaos's room before.

The four Pixiu were guided into the room by Chaos.

Unlike the storage room of Tianlu Bixie, which was uninhabitable for beasts, the room was neat and tidy, arguably the cleanest room Bai Jie had ever seen besides his own.

Looking at the room, Bai Jie couldn't help but compare it to Tianlu's room; they were worlds apart.

"Buzz?" Dijiang, who was inside the room, saw several orbs of light enter the room. Upon closer inspection, he found that they were several Pixiu.

She happily flapped her wings and flew over to hug them one by one.

"Jiangjiang, look what this is!" Tianlu handed the blade of grass with the firefly attached to it to Dijiang.

She looked at the fireflies on her little hand with some confusion, then realized that these were her favorite foods from before.

Although the lights are on indoors now and there's no need to 'eat' anymore, this food reminded her of life in ancient times.

"Buzz~ (Thank you~)" Dijiang seemed very happy.

Even in the hazy sense of smell, Dijiang's scent was sweeter than usual.

"Smells good~" Chaos thought to himself.

"Huh? Isn't this the stone slab I gave to Jiangjiang?" Tianlu activated his passive skill, which required him to get his hands dirty in a new place.

He was holding the stone slab with the family portrait carved on it. Tianlu had found it on a stone platform, where only this one slab was placed; there were no other slabs on the platform.

“Really?” Bai Zang moved closer to Tian Lu and looked at him.

“Yes, because we don’t have anything else to put, we put this stone slab in this conspicuous place, which is also convenient for us to commemorate this occasion,” Chaos said, taking the stone slab.

“But in the future, our ‘family’ will grow larger and larger, right?” Chaos said to Bai Jie with a smile.

Her family doesn't necessarily mean any blood relation, but rather the kind of partners you can rely on, like... for example, why didn't Qiongqi go up?

"Hmm~ Maybe~" Bai Jie didn't know what the future held, so she could only take it one step at a time.

However, there might be a spot for cotton bolls in the future.

"Alright, we need to rest now, you should all go back too~" Chaos said, putting the stone slab back in its place.

It's getting late; I should be resting.

Chaos first noticed Bai Cang's question about the whereabouts of Tianlu Bixie, and she herself was a little worried, so she paid attention to it.

He heard Bai Jie pacing back and forth in the corridor, which is why he went to sleep so late; otherwise, he would have rested much earlier.

"It's getting late, you guys should go and get some rest," Bai Jie said to the three Pixiu.

"Okay~" These were the voices of Tianlu and Bixie.

"Don't!" That was Hyakuzō's voice.

Bai Jie looked at Bai Zang with some confusion.

"I just woke up, I don't want to rest!" Bai Zang said, pouting. "I want to go play in Mother's dream, it's been so long since I've been there!"

Bai Jie raised an eyebrow. She hadn't expected Bai Zang to have just woken up. It was indeed difficult for him to fall back asleep.

"Then let's play for one night," Bai Jie nodded in agreement.

"I'll leave a small barrier in the villa. If there's any problem that could break it, I'll be able to sense it." Bai Jie placed a small barrier in an inconspicuous corner.

With the power of chaos, it can be crushed with a little force, but it won't break if you press it lightly, which can prevent you from accidentally pressing it.

Bai Jie felt it wasn't quite complete, so she found a wooden branch and imbued it with the power of dreams.

"If it were Jiang Jiang, you could use this branch to destroy it!"

Dijiang took the wooden branch and nodded, and Chaos also understood how to use it.

"Good night~" Tianlu Bixie returned to Bai Jie's room to sleep. Obviously, their own room was still not empty.

Bai Zang then returned to the dream with Bai Jie.
