The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 272 Solved in a Dream

"Dad, this is the godfather I met on set! He's amazing."

"Godfather, this is my father."

Walnut, holding Yundou's tail, proudly pointed at Zhanhu and introduced him, then introduced his biological father to his godfather.

"Are you Zhanhu? Thank you for taking care of my Walnut while we were on set." Yundou smiled politely and extended her paw.

"Ahem, it's nothing, not worth mentioning." Zhan Hu coughed and awkwardly shook hands with the other party.

Does "taking care of him" mean that I taught him that shameless three-point line, or that he went crazy and sought the Lord after getting drunk or sleepwalking?

He grinned, his enormous tail sweeping shamefully across the lawn.

"Thank you very much," Yun Dou said with a smile.

Walnut, its eyes sparkling, jumped to the center of the pile at his feet, raised its little paws and started drawing, "My godfather taught me so much, he taught me..."

"Ahem! There's no need to bring up the past!" Zhan Hu promptly interrupted any potential dark history.

"Moji?"

Walnut turned his head in confusion, and Zhanhu frantically gave him meaningful glances, his tail wagging wildly.

Seeing this, Mian Tao couldn't help but cover her mouth to suppress her laughter. She still remembered the scene where the two of them, along with the director, were subdued by a laser pointer.

Oleander looked at her older sister, then at Zhanhu, opened her mouth several times but didn't know what to say, and her face immediately fell down in disappointment.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Puss in Boots brought in another Munchkin from the set.

"Xingtao, the next part of the story where Miantao and Yundou meet their relatives is all up to you. Have you been practicing hard these past two days?"

She patted the other person on the shoulder and asked earnestly.

Xingtao's gaze was resolute, and she raised her left paw in a military salute. "Don't worry, Director, I will definitely complete the mission!"

Puss in Boots nodded in satisfaction, then beckoned Bamboo to call Meng Ji's family over, as the two sides still needed to get to know each other a little before filming.

However, after running away for a short while, Zhu Zi ran back without anyone behind him.

"Where's the beast? Why didn't you bring it?"

"Director, something's happened to Walnut! Oleander suddenly started crying!"

Puss in Boots tilted his head, and a question mark popped out of his eyes.

When she hurriedly brought people to Mengji's side, she saw Miantao holding the tearful Nerium and comforting her, gently stroking her younger brother's head with her big paws and wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Alright, alright, alright, I didn't exclude you. We've always been family."

"Sister, sob sob sob..."

Yun Dou stood by helplessly, rubbing her forehead. When she noticed Puss in Boots and the others arriving, she gave them an awkward smile and said, "Sorry, you must have found this amusing."

Shortly after.

After finally calming Oleander down, Da Mengji shrank back behind his older sister, too ashamed to face anyone. Yun Dou gave him a light kick, clearly annoyed.

"You're such a big beast, why are you still clinging to your older sister? Even Walnut is more successful than you."

"Alright, alright, let's get back to filming." Puss in Boots urged the group to get moving.

Yun Dou finally came back, and Puss in Boots invited him to film several times during this time, so we should seize this opportunity to film as much as possible.

Time flew by and night fell, the sky was filled with stars, and in the magnificent dream world, Walnut opened the dream passage with practiced ease and entered Bai Jie's dream.

Before stepping into the vortex, he had mentally prepared himself to see another absurd scene, but to his surprise, this dream was unusually normal.

In the chaotic film set, Seventy-Seven was dragged along on the grass, biting Tianlu's tail, leaving a mark, while crew members pushed a camera with wheels to film from the side.

"It was actually a movie shoot. What a normal dream."

Walnut lay on the edge of the passage, staring in disbelief at the scene inside, its two large tails swishing and curling into two question marks.

Dreams are the chaotic manifestation of consciousness during animal sleep. Even normal people's dreams are chaotic, disordered, and bizarre.

However, Bai Jie often encounters familiar faces in his dreams, which leads to a series of actions that make it impossible for him to hold on.

"Is today normal or not...?"

Walnut rested his chin on his hand, frowning in thought.

At this moment, Tianlu dragged its tail and took two difficult steps forward. The indentation left by Qishiqi on the ground grew longer, and the intense pain in its tail forced Tianlu to turn back.

"Are you trying to scam me? Why don't you go find your mother?"

His helpless words carried on, and the photographer immediately moved closer for a close-up. The staff held their breath, and Walnut looked up in bewilderment.

What is this? Mom? Shi Qilin has become a mom?

"But Mom won't let me call him Mom..." Seventy-Seven mumbled, her mouth full of fur, feeling wronged.

"Bai Jie! Why don't you do something about this?"

"Moji?"

Walnut looked in confusion in the direction of Tianlu's gaze. Not far away, Baijie had appeared out of nowhere, with several round and plump divine beast eggs piled up beside him.

This scene, combined with the previous conversation between the two beasts, shows Walnut's mouth slightly open. The next second, Baijie turns its face away, fiddling with the weeds with its claws for a long time before finally letting out a soft moan.

"It's all your fault. I already told you I didn't want to have the baby..."

Walnut was shocked. This...is this true? Did he accidentally overhear something incredible?

A moment later, he punched his palm!

That's right, as expected, Bai Jie's dreams couldn't possibly be that normal.

……

A ripple appeared in a corner of the dream world, and the magnificent, distorted light and shadow shifted.

Inside the dream bubble, Bai Jie, holding the mythical beast egg, blushed deeply, as a plume of steam shot out from above, accompanied by the "whoosh" of a train whistle.

"Don't add any special effects to me, Walnut!"

He waved away the steam from his head and glared angrily at Xiao Mengji, who was trying not to laugh.

"Hey, this isn't about the walnuts! Anything can happen in dreams, this is just Bai Jie's imagination!"

Walnut shook its head vigorously, wagging its big tail to clear itself of any involvement, and then quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, Baijie, why did you dream about these things tonight? Did anything happen during the day?"

Bai Jie pouted. The hard, unyielding divine beast egg in his arms was uncomfortable, so he casually tossed it aside, pulled over the doll that Tianlu had transformed into, and hugged it before explaining in a low voice.

"Seventy-seven wanted to go to film a movie. Tianlu and I told him that working and studying in shifts is very tiring, but he still insisted on going..."

"What? Can't we let Seventy-Seven go to film a movie?" Walnut was taken aback.

"That's not really... the main thing is... we don't want Seventy-Seven's identity to be exposed in front of too many beasts."

Bai Jie awkwardly turned his head away, his tail tip curling slightly.

Walnut clapped its paws and suddenly realized something. A light bulb lit up on its head. It swept its tail to disperse the special effects and turned to look at Bai Jie.

"Walnut understands! Baijie is jealous and doesn't want to acknowledge Seventy-Seven's legitimate bloodline, so he wants to keep it hidden at home. Tianlu also doesn't want the matter of his illegitimate child to be spread everywhere!"

"Why don't you just use your dream to scare Seventy-Seven, Walnut? Hmm, that's it. Walnut is a genius!"

The sound of walnuts echoed in the empty dream, and Bai Jie opened his mouth, speechless for a moment.

"What do you think of this method, Bai Jie? If it works, then let's get started."

"No, why do you get so excited when it comes to being naughty? And have you been peeking at something strange? Why are you talking about illegitimate children and refusing to acknowledge the legitimate heir?"

Bai Jie's eyes twitched involuntarily as he watched Walnut rubbing its hands together in anticipation.

"Hey, Bai Jie, just tell me if it's okay or not! Walnut recently learned a new skill: it can alter other people's dreams!"

"So you're pretending to help me, but really just want to use your new skill to play a prank, right?"

"Don't worry about all that, just tell me already." Walnut shook Bai Jie's arm, its furry body leaning closer, its eyes closed as if it were being affectionate.

"Uh...uh...okay?"

After being shoved twice, Bai Jie hesitated but still agreed.

He felt this wasn't quite right, but since Walnut was the one who brought it up first, it should be fine, right?

"Alright, let's get started on walnuts!"

With a flick of its white, speckled claw, space twisted and reversed, slowly forming a dreamlike vortex. Intricate spiral patterns unfolded layer by layer, and the scene on the other side of the passage gradually drew closer.

Seventy-seven threw down his schoolbag and ran happily out of the school. The scene changed, and he was in a film studio. "It's great that I don't have to go to school. I can come and film a movie!"

Bai Jie's tail, which had been swaying slightly, stopped and fell silent for a moment.

"So Seventy-Seven wanted to act for the same reason as Walnut." Walnut suddenly realized, then nodded vigorously and looked at Seventy-Seven in the other direction.

Bai Jie looked away, both amused and exasperated, and nudged Xiao Mengji lightly with his elbow. "Then it's up to you, Walnut."

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Walnut patted its furry chest, then took a deep breath, raised its arms to shoulder height, and stared intently at the dream passage.

The vortex continued to rotate slowly. His eyes widened slightly, and he extended his claws at an extremely slow pace, exhaling a breath of stale air.

"call--"

Bai Jie had a momentary illusion; the scene on Seventy-Seven's side flickered, like a television suddenly having a bad signal, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be an illusion.

Walnut's new skill: Dream manipulation!
