The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 301 (Extra Chapter) (Jie's Experience)

The inky black sky seemed to recede like the tide, and beams of sunlight pierced through the clouds, bringing a refreshing scent to the air after the rain.

Tianlu stepped out of the cave, looked up and around, and after a moment, he came out with Baijie, turning back one last time.

"The rain has stopped, let's go."

The four-legged creature nodded, then hesitated for a moment before speaking tentatively.

"Well... I should come back and visit occasionally, just in case the Heavenly Court notices anything amiss."

"Huh? I'm not afraid of them. They're lucky they didn't even charge in!"

Tianlu's expression turned fierce in an emergency!

Then, without hesitation, he turned and walked away, his little paws stomping heavily on the ground as he headed into the distance.

"Bai Jie, we're leaving."

"Eh?"

Bai Jie subconsciously jogged a couple of steps, paused slightly midway, turned back hesitantly and moved his mouth, but ultimately said nothing and buried his head to follow his brother.

Not wanting to stand still and watch them leave, the two small figures gradually walked away and slowly disappeared into the mountains and forests.

A gust of wind lifted the hem of his cloak, obscuring his eyes beneath the mask. His lips moved slightly, and after a long while, he sighed and turned to leave.

the other side.

Tianlu walked ahead, his back to the ground, while Baijie followed silently.

The two brothers walked through the mountains and forests after the rain, their feet treading on the muddy dirt road, the faint fragrance of earth permeating the air.

My mind is a mess... Where did Bixie go? Oh right, I found him a cave, and oh, and Bai Jie too! Didn't he run away back then? Has he not shown up?

Tianlu's steps slowed, and her chaotic thoughts gradually began to clear. A complete memory emerged from her mind...

He suddenly stopped in his tracks!

"Huh? What's wrong?" Bai Jie asked, peeking out from behind him with a puzzled look.

Tianlu didn't answer immediately. He slowly came back to his senses and fixed his gaze on Baijie.

The two brothers looked at each other, their blue and green eyes reflecting each other's images.

"Bai Jie, you...you clearly escaped back then, why did you come back? And why?"

Bai Jie suddenly froze, his azure eyes glazed over for a moment before he slowly regained his senses, his head unconsciously lowering.

"Uh...I don't know."

"You don't know?" Tianlu was suddenly startled. "Bai Jie, your heart lock hasn't been broken yet?!"

"No, but since you asked, I should be able to guess..."

"what?"

Tianlu's mind was foggy, but he instinctively responded with a sound.

Seeing this, Bai Jie let out a long sigh, his gaze falling on the grass to the side, avoiding eye contact with him, his throat moving with difficulty.

"I guess I miss you... I want to come find you all... I don't want to live a life of constant wandering anymore..."

"I'm the same way now. I'm afraid... I wouldn't dare to rebel even if I had to be a dog for the Heavenly Court."

He paused for a moment, and under Tianlu's stunned gaze, he spoke more.

"I'm afraid of being separated from you, I'm afraid of being hunted down, I'm afraid of losing the peaceful life I've finally achieved, and I'm also afraid that one day I'll never see you again while I'm being hunted down."

"My memory hasn't returned yet, but I imagine my thoughts back then were similar to mine now, right?"

"I actually wanted to advise you. Like the saying goes, go back every now and then..."

“I don’t blame him. On the contrary, I understand him. I don’t want to see you two go your separate ways.”

"But I don't think I have the right to advise you... I've known something was wrong for a long time, but I've been keeping it from you. I'm the same as him... I'm just as afraid to face it."

Tianlu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. The image flashed through his mind again.

Bai Jie lay on the immortal's lap, gazing at him with tears in her eyes.

Are those blurry eyes filled with grievance? Guilt? Longing? Resentment? Sorrow?

A complex mix of emotions, so thick and intense it was impossible to dissolve...

-

"Although it's not appropriate to talk about this now... but Tianlu, when you descended to the mortal realm without permission, I was so scared..."

Tianlu's heart skipped a beat as he looked up.

Bai Jie pounded his head, his lips trembling slightly.

“I’ve been asking around for help. I want to go down and find you, but they all stop me.”

"I...I cried several times last night. I scolded you a lot. I dared not descend to the mortal realm without permission, I was afraid of being held accountable..."

"But I couldn't resist in the end, so I went downstairs to find you..."

"I had been wandering the city for days, and when I finally saw you, I wanted to cry, but I was so angry... so... so..."

"Stop talking! Stop talking... Bai Jie, I'm sorry... I said we'd never be apart, but I didn't keep my promise..."

Tianlu hugged Baijie tightly, the two brothers' body heat flowing between them, warming their bodies that had been chilled by the heavy rain...

"—Tick-tock. Tick-tock."

Water droplets fell on the half-dried fur, making it impossible to distinguish between rainwater and tears.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry. After we find the evil spirit, we brothers will never be separated again! Can you... forgive me?"

Bai Jie cried uncontrollably, hugging Tian Lu tightly with both arms, burying her face deeply in her brother's neck.

"I don't want to forgive you... but you're still my brother, and I'll hold this grudge against you for the rest of my life!"

"Ugh... Ugh..."

His voice trailed off, his body trembling with sobs…

Tianlu held her tightly in his arms with all his might for a long time... a long time... Baijie's muffled sobs and low murmurs could be heard.

"I'm sorry too... I was too weak to say anything..."

"It's alright." Tianlu closed his eyes and gently rubbed his chin against Baijie's head.

"Bai Jie is the younger brother, he's timid. I'm the older brother, I'll take good care of him, and I'll never let this happen again,"

"Um……"

……

Ancient times.

Bai Jie's claws rested on Tian Lu's arm around its waist, its azure eyes blinking pitifully.

Tianlu rested her chin on his shoulder, blinking her eyes pleadingly.

Two Pixiu (mythical creatures) together emitted cute beams of light towards Bixie (a mythical beast).

The Pixiu brother's expression showed a fierce and uneasy look, but he quickly became unnatural, scratching the ground with his claws and looking away from them.

"Uh... alright, for your sake and the sake of Heaven's will."

"Yay! I have a little brother now!" Tianlu cheered and hugged Baijie, showering him with affection!

The two fluffy balls rolled together, their blue and gold tails scribbling wildly, and Bai Jie whimpered and rubbed against them, looking embarrassed.

The shadows of their hands intertwined, casting a few rays of sunlight. Bixie watched the two little dumplings walk across the grass for a moment, then angrily rushed up and pulled them apart.

"Alright, you two, stop fooling around! We already had no food, and now we have another mouth to feed. If we can't find anything to eat, we'll have to eat evil spirits!"

Tianlu staggered a couple of times after being pulled, shook his head, and immediately turned purple with fright upon hearing this.

"Huh?! I don't want to!"

With a bewildered look in Bai Jie's eyes, he suddenly grabbed Bi Xi's leg and broke down in tears.

"I don't want to eat those smelly things!"

"You were the one who took him in, I already said it was my fault." Bixie closed his eyes and tucked his claws in, his small body swaying back and forth as Tianlu cried out.

Bai Jie looked around in confusion; the twin Pixiu, one crying and the other distressed.

He hesitated for a moment, then took two weak steps closer and spoke in a hesitant voice, "Um..."

Two pairs of eyes fell on him, and he swallowed hard, forcing himself to ask.

"We now have three beasts. If we leave one to guard the house and have the other go out to find food, we shouldn't run out of food, right?"

The two brothers were both taken aback.

"Right?"

[The Pixiu brothers have discovered the correct way to use their new family member. To fit in, Bai Jie volunteers to go out with the Ouija board to find food.]

"Once we're outside, do as I say. It's dangerous outside, don't run around, understand?"

Tianlu leaned forward with a solemn expression, his eyes gleaming with a yellow light hidden in the shadows cast by him.

Bai Jie nodded forcefully, trying to maintain his composure, but the scumbag couldn't withstand his brother's aura and shrank back.

"Alright, come with me. Tianlu, you stay here and guard the house. You're absolutely not allowed to run away again this time."

Bixie took two steps back, turned around and gave Tianlu another instruction before turning back and heading into the deep mountains.

Tianlu nodded vigorously as well. His red and white figure walked a distance away, and he quietly leaned close to Baijie's ear, who was a little timid.

Bixie had only taken a few steps when he heard whispers behind him.

"Don't be afraid of Bai Jie, that's just how Bi Xie is."

"He says he's disgusted with me, but he's actually very good to me. He must be the same way with Hyakki, who's his younger brother. After a while, he'll say he's disgusted with me but take care of Hyakki. It's so twisted."

"Tianlu!!" Bixie shouted angrily, turned around, and rushed back on his short legs!

Tianlu activated his spiritual power, turned around and saw his brother's angry face, and was so frightened that he ran away!

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you chasing me?!"

"Idiot, stop right there!"

"I don't want to! It looks like you're going to hit me!"

Two little balls, one red and one blue, chased each other around a big tree. Tianlu screamed in fright, while Bixie relentlessly pursued them!

Bai Jie stood blankly to the side, her gaze following them as they circled around. Once. Then again. Her little head followed, turning left and right incessantly.
