The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 285 Finding a Way

Meimei arrived at the door and carefully slipped the red envelope through the crack in the door, but it fell out again after only two seconds.

"It's no use. Don't even think about taking the lychees away if you can't answer the questions."

Zhuangzhuang and Meimei stared at each other, the red envelopes swaying and drifting down, eventually landing at their feet in the wind. The thin wooden door in front of them stood proudly and unmoved.

"There's no other way, let me calculate it."

Shota took out his scroll, put it in his mouth, sat up straight, and his divine power surged within him.

"Intelligence activated! It is known that the First Qilin was the first Qilin. He and his wife laid a total of 154 eggs, of which 64 have hatched so far."

We moved slightly and quietly opened a crack.

"Of these, 46 couples got married, and the next generation..."

"Master, stop reciting, let's get married first." Grape pushed open the door and saw Shota smiling earnestly looking up at her on the grass in front of the door. His eyes were filled with a hint of doubt, and her eyelids twitched.

—If you really calculate it all, will my daughter still get married?

……

During deformation,

Bright red was everywhere – bright red ribbons, a bright red platform – the noise and chatter filled the air, the venue was packed, and everyone was watching Zhuangzhuang's live stream and couldn't help but laugh and talk.

However, none of the core members of the film crew at one of the tables were paying attention to their phones; their eyes kept glancing at the three Pixiu statues on one side.

Bixie was still cooking. Baijie, Qishiqi, and Tianlu sat together, the gazes of the other beasts making them inexplicably nervous.

Although Bai Jie managed to get away with it, there was really something fishy going on this time. This is what it means to have a guilty conscience.

"Ahem! Hello, Seventy-Seven. I'll call you Seventy-Seven. I'm the director of this film crew." Puss in Boots broke the awkward atmosphere with two dry coughs as he introduced himself.

Upon seeing her, Seventy-Seven instinctively shrank back, his lips trembling involuntarily, and he stammered, "You... hello."

"Your family has a new Pixiu! Why don't you come to the film set to shoot a movie? The whole family will be together."

Puss in Boots didn't notice anything unusual. She stroked her chin and looked at Seventy-Seven. Her gray eyes were pure, her fluffy black tail swayed behind her, and her paws were placed on the table somewhat awkwardly.

This image stirred her directorial heart, and she began to consider recruiting people again.

"Qiqi, our crew offers pretty good benefits, you can..."

"I do not want!"

Seventy-seven was so frightened that his face turned purple, and his limbs went weak and trembled as he subconsciously moved to Bai Jie's side.

Tianlu opened his mouth as if to stop him, but upon hearing this, he turned and looked at him with a confused expression. "Is Seventy-Seven very afraid of filming?"

"Uh……"

A bead of sweat suddenly rolled down Bai Jie's forehead. He glanced guiltily at Seventy-Seven out of the corner of his eye, who was still looking at Puss in Boots with fear.

—I didn't notice...that seems normal.

"Meow? Why are you scared?" Puss in Boots stopped, picking up half of the dried fish, looking completely bewildered.

"Oh dear, Director, has your infamy gotten that bad?" Little Sparrow laughed, leaning on the table.

The actors chimed in, emboldened by the presence of their financial backer, and launched a tirade against the director. Puss in Boots tried to refute them, but his efforts were drowned out by the clamor and he made no impact whatsoever.

As Qiqi listened to the beasts' condemnation, his determination not to join the crew grew stronger. However, fate is not so easy to escape.

……

"The food is served! The food is served!"

Shouts echoed throughout the wedding venue as helpers went to the chefs to portion out the dishes and serve them on the tables, the complex aromas filling the air and wafting into our nostrils.

Seventy-seven inherited the Qilin's characteristic of not being able to eat normal food, which would easily be exposed at the dinner table. Bai Jie grabbed Yue Tian, ​​who was passing by, and asked him to take the beast away to play together.

Amidst the lively round table, Seventy-Seven followed Yue Tian running around everywhere. Beasts roamed all around, and the group of mischievous children quickly became acquainted by stealing food here and playing games there.

He was slightly out of breath and his face was flushed. A white figure ran ahead of him, nimbly dodging the passing helpers. He hesitated for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and came to Yue Tian's side.

"Yue Tian, ​​I want to ask you something."

"What is it, Fourth Master?" Yue Tian slowed down and turned his head as he jogged quickly.

"Did Bai Jie transform into a girl?"

"Eh?"

Moon Sky slammed to a stop with its front paws out, nearly causing Seventy-Seven to crash into it.

"Oh dear, what's wrong?"

When Seventy-Seven hurriedly stopped, he looked up and saw the surprised expression on the other person's face as they turned around.

"Why is Fourth Master asking this?"

The wolf cub stopped in its tracks, turned around, and looked at them with surprise, its voice seemingly tinged with nervousness.

"What's wrong? Can't I ask that?"

"That's not true."

Just as Seventy-Seven finished asking, a weasel suddenly appeared from behind. Huang Jiu circled around halfway to the front, grinning as he raised his paw and put it on Yue Tian's shoulder.

"But he was partly responsible for the rumors that were flying around back then."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense! I didn't spread any rumors about the boss!"

The little wolf's soft fur bristled as it shoved Huang Jiu from behind, then it glanced nervously at Seventy-Seven.

"Hey, the Third Master isn't some petty beast, what are you afraid of?"

"Shut up!"

The two little ones kept pushing and shoving each other, seemingly about to start a fight.

The group of mischievous kids scattered to different places, and no one was fortunate enough to witness this conflict between the two major figures under the leadership, except for Seventy-Seven.

Seeing the two beasts bickering, he instinctively stepped forward, and the words in his mind blurted out without thinking.

"Hey, stop arguing. Actually, I found out they're hiding something from me and I want to investigate. It's probably something they'd rather keep quiet about, so I don't want to expose you..."

As Seventy-Seven finished speaking, his voice suddenly weakened, his wagging tail froze in mid-air, and his body remained in the position of taking a step forward.

Two figures shot over first. Yue Tian and Huang Jiu turned their heads in confusion. The three pairs of eyes met, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Oops, I accidentally said too much.

Seventy-seven paused for a moment, then resumed breathing, but very slightly, as if afraid of triggering something. At the same time, his heart involuntarily jumped.

Yue Tian and Huang Jiu had complicated expressions. Should they pretend they didn't hear what was said just now... or did they hear it?

Logically, they should pretend they didn't hear it, but it seems the fourth leader wants to ask them about it. What should they do?

After a long silence, Yue Tian scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Ah...ah, is that so? I don't actually believe that I participated in spreading rumors about the boss and the others, and I even accidentally heard some things I shouldn't have heard."

"call--"

Seventy-seven let out a breath, and the tension in his heart subsided.

"So they're all pretty much the same."

He then turned back to what the other person had said, discerning another layer of meaning, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Hey! You said you heard something you shouldn't have heard? What did you hear?"

"Ah..." Yue Tian's mouth was slightly open, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Huang Jiu did not hesitate to take out two earplugs and put them in his ears. When he put his hands down, it had become a silent play in his eyes.

Yue Tian's lips twitched, and he subtly kicked Huang Jiu with his hind paw. However, the weasel immediately took two steps back, as if to say, "I don't know you."

Yue Tian gritted her teeth and glared at the other person out of the corner of her eye, her eyes threatening, but Huang Jiu still maintained an attitude of indifference, clearly refusing to get involved in the matter no matter what.

—Just kidding, this looks like a bunch of big news. If the boss finds out, he'll probably kill you to keep quiet, right?

"I can trade my secret for it."

Seventy-seven stepped forward and clasped his hands together, making Yue Tian's scalp tingle, and he took a step back.

"Actually, Tianlu is my father, but I have another father who is..."

"Alright, that's enough!"

Yue Tian was so frightened that her legs went weak. She scrambled forward and covered his mouth. Seventy-Seven blinked with a "hmm" sound, his gray hat flashing incessantly.

"Please stop talking, I'm afraid the boss and the others will kill me if I keep listening! Here's what I'm saying, I don't dare to say it, but I know a cat who definitely knows more than I do, go ask her!"

Yue Tian swallowed hard, tucked her tail tightly between her legs, and spoke with a sob in her voice.

Seventy-seven paused for a moment, which felt like an eternity. Finally, he nodded, and Yue Tian released him with a soft grip.

"Okay... I'll tell you now." His voice carried a hint of relief.

Soon after,

Seventy-seven turned around gratefully and bowed to him. "Thank you. Um... but please keep my matter a secret, please, please."

"Don't worry, I wouldn't dare say." Yue Tian shivered and waved his paw.

"That seems to be true. I'll be going then."

Seventy-seven left with light steps, its tail swaying gently, its departing figure appearing particularly cheerful.

Yue Tian watched him leave, then turned back with an unfriendly gaze to look at Huang Jiu, who was still standing there like a wooden stake.

"Huh, it's over?"

Huang Jiu was suddenly plucked from his body by a claw. His consciousness, which had flown to the heavens, returned to his body, and he looked up to meet Yue Tian's evil expression.

"It's over, but I also plan to tell you about the secret sleep. From now on, we're all in the same boat."

"Huh? What? Wait! I don't want to hear this!"

"Stop, don't run!"

Huang Jiu reacted in less than a sentence, turned and ran, while Yue Tian opened his mouth and uttered a demonic sound that pierced the ears.

"Actually, the third leader likes the eldest and second leaders."

"I've told you so, but you won't listen!" Huang Jiu was horrified.

……

the other side.

Feifei stood on a chair, loudly urging others to drink while secretly looking for targets to grope, while Qishiqi stood outside the bustling animal herd, lost in thought.

—How should I ask this in this situation?
