The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 262 Taotie's First Job

As night deepened, the stars twinkled.

Hearing the commotion outside, the beasts inside the villa came out to check the situation. Tianlu and Bixie quickly separated the two beasts that were still rolling on the ground.

"Hey, you guys get along pretty well." Qiongqi kicked aside the three little monsters blocking the way, leaned against the door frame, and revealed a wicked smile.

"None of your business!" Tianlu glared at Baijie while holding him.

As the bright moonlight shone down, the other beasts inside came out one by one.

Tao Tao jumped onto Di Jiang, and Hun Dun lowered his head to avoid the door frame and walked out. When Taotie appeared, Qi Shiqi, who was being pulled by Bi Xie, instinctively flinched.

"what happened?"

"Ah, no...it's nothing."

Bixie frowned and looked at Taotie with suspicion.

They don't look like they're alright at all. Could it be that they were bullied on their way back?

He knew Taotie, though not very well, but he knew what kind of guy he was. He pulled Seventy-Seven behind him.

"You didn't bully him, did you?"

"How could that be? I'm not that free. He was just scared by me on the way." Taotie rolled his eyes.

Seventy-seven quickly tugged at Bixie, "It's alright, Uncle, I was just startled."

Bixie's face darkened slightly. "May I call you by your name?"

"Uh, okay... to ward off evil spirits."

"Hehehehehe." Qiongqi slapped his thigh gleefully as he watched the scene unfold. He had experienced the same 'wow' feeling when the Heavenly Court suddenly produced a child, and now these guys were experiencing it too!

It's true that only by making others feel pain can one feel good!

The shrill laughter made the short-tempered Tianlu Bixie frown. Dijiang slapped him hard with his wing and quickly took out his phone to smooth things over.

"Om."

[I'm sorry, that's just how he is, there's nothing I can do about it.]

She then quickly turned her wings and pointed at Taotie, [Let me formally introduce you, this is Taotie.]

[They are the Pixiu brothers, and also the Four-Faced Beast.]

"Hello." Taotie replied with an indifferent attitude.

Tianlu and Bixie stared at him, even more displeased. The atmosphere was a bit off, and even Baijie and Qishiqi didn't dare to say a word.

The four-faced fellow hurriedly laughed it off, "Ah ha, thank you for bringing my nephew back..."

"Who told you that he's your nephew? Don't assume you're an outsider without evidence." Qiong Xiaoqi suddenly poked his head out from behind the chaos.

"Ah. Ah? If he's not my nephew, then what kind of relationship do we have?"

“This guy isn’t like us, who are just simple clones. He’s a life form specially developed by the breeding base using two different bloodlines.”

"Can you guess what the other bloodline is besides the very obvious Pixiu?"

"Uh..." The Four-Faced Beast suddenly had a bad feeling.

"That's the same Qilin bloodline as you, and it was provided by your father, the First Qilin."

Boom——!

a bolt from the blue!

The Four-Unlikes stiffly turned its head slowly, and Seventy-Seven blinked its eyes, opened its mouth and exhaled a breath of immortal mist. The pervasive white gas slowly gathered into a cloud, and then slowly, slowly, it floated into the sky.

The three Pixiu looked at him with eyes that seemed to have seen a ghost, and Tianlu's expression was particularly distorted.

"Pfft hahahaha!"

The laughter of several unscrupulous beasts seemed to come from afar, and my confused mind exploded like fireworks.

Originally, it was because his brother was young and ignorant that he was used as a mount to help deal with troubles outside.

Qiong Xiaoqi chuckled and said, "He's the son of your father and your brother!"

He bid farewell in a daze, then flew into the sky with the four Pixiu. He didn't know how he got through the details, nor did he dare to recall them. When he regained consciousness, he was already at an unknown altitude, enjoying the cool breeze.

He suddenly turned around and looked at the four Pixiu on his back. Tianlu had his head down, so his expression could not be seen. "Little Blue Circle."

"what?"

"Uh, never mind, it's fine."

Looking at Tianlu's bewildered expression as he turned away, Sibuxiang suddenly realized it wasn't his fault. It was his father's responsibility that Seventy-Seven was connected to him.

But then another problem arises: how should I tell my father about this? Will it cause a rift between my parents? But I can't keep such an important matter a secret.

The Four-Unlikes started to worry again, and even after returning home, they still couldn't figure out what to do.

That's it for now, go to bed first.

He grabbed the four Pixiu and closed his eyes.

"Ugh...it's so crowded..." Bai Jie struggled to climb out and lay on top of the beasts, panting for breath.

……

Day two.

The whole family got up early in the morning. No matter how messed up the previous night was, life had to go on. They tacitly chose to put the matter of 77 aside for the time being.

However, having a new member in the family would still have an impact on life, and after finishing breakfast, the beasts began to worry about Seventy-Seven again.

Each member of the family has a job; the three brothers go to film sets, and Sibuxiang also has to keep up with the schedule arranged by their agent.

What about the seventy-seven?

Si Bu Xiang scratched his head. "Plum blossom, sun, blue circle, why don't you take the little squares to the film set?"

"No! I...I'm not ready yet." Tianlu's voice suddenly rose, but then the gazes cast upon him by the beasts gradually faded.

Previously, the crew members had always teased Bai Jie for looking like their child, and now that someone who actually looks like Tian Lu has suddenly appeared, I can't even imagine what would happen if I brought him to the set.

The room was filled with gloom and despair. Seventy-seven looked around, wondering if it was really that hard to come up with a solution.

"If it's too much trouble, I can stay at home,"

"This...is it going to work? You don't even know how to use household appliances, do you?" Bai Jie recalled how Seventy-Seven looked at everything with such curiosity last night, and felt that it was unreliable.

"Don't worry, I'm very well-behaved and won't touch anything."

The beasts exchanged glances, their eyes filled with distrust. You are Tianlu's offspring, after all. From a genetic point of view, the word "well-behaved" shouldn't have anything to do with you, right?

The prejudice is severe, but if they knew that Seventy-Seven was an illegal immigrant who descended to earth, then it wouldn't be prejudice anymore; it would be the truth.

After a while...

"We're leaving. Don't bully Xiaoyunhe."

The door slammed shut, and the words of admonition to ward off evil seemed to still linger in his ears. Seventy-seven looked at the two white clouds that stood on his left and right.

So there were two other family members? I haven't seen them before.

……

"Then I'll be going now, with the plum blossom, sun, and blue circle," the white cloud descended, and the Four-Faced Beast put down the three Pixiu.

"Okay, goodbye." The three brothers looked up and watched him rise into the sky again and gradually disappear into the horizon.

"You've arrived. This is today's script, with a few revisions compared to the one you received before."

Just as Bai Jie turned around, a script flew over, which he caught in a flurry of activity.

After throwing the things away, Puss in Boots paused for a moment. She had to rush back to the venue to get things done. She took two steps forward, hesitated for a second, and then asked the question that had been pent up in her heart.

"Pipi, I heard you have a child?"

Tianlu's expression froze, "Huh?! Director, how did you know... No! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing his reaction, Puss in Boots instantly understood. Her lips twitched twice, and she couldn't help but smile like an aunt. "I called Qiongqi yesterday to tell her what she said. I didn't expect it to be true."

Tianlu opened his mouth but couldn't say a word; at that moment, he felt like killing Qiongqi.

Bixie quickly chimed in, "Alright, director, stop asking. Aren't we in a hurry to film?"

Puss in Boots wanted to ask more questions, but time was really tight, and the three brothers seemed quite resistant, so she had to give up and hurriedly went to coordinate the staff.

Bai Jie looked at Tian Lu, who looked completely bewildered.

"It's okay, Tianlu. I'll ask the director to keep it a secret later. Let's look at the script first and not think about this anymore."

He pulled his two brothers to open the script, which clearly stated the final scene of the medieval chapter: the Four Fiends and the Pixiu reunited, and Chaos died for love, transforming into a mountain range.

It's worth mentioning that some scenes were crossed out. These were scenes where the Four Fiends didn't appear or were just their backs, which could have been replaced by stand-ins. They had already filmed those scenes in advance.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the three little fierce creatures and Chaos, who had been absent for more than a month, finally arrived late.

Just then, Puss in Boots finished her work, took a sip of water, and came over to ask, "I heard your dad got out of prison. Why didn't you bring him to the crew to meet him? I just happened to be taking over his work."

Taotie was slightly taken aback by what was said, and subconsciously replied, "He felt that this place was beneath his reputation, so he went to hang out with Uncle Qiongqi."

"Meow?"

……

The scene shifts to a standoff between two groups of people on a muddy dirt road in the countryside.

One of them, carrying farm tools and dressed simply, looked just like a local villager.

The other side consisted of only three people: a man with a burly face and wearing a suit led the way, while the two standing on either side like door gods were Qiongqi and Taotie.

"Give me back the money!" the man roared, pointing at the group of villagers and throwing the IOU to the ground.

"A life for a life, a debt for a debt—that's only right and proper. Your villagers have dragged this out for so long; it's time they paid up! Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."

A commotion broke out in the crowd opposite, and an older woman stepped forward, shouting, "Why should we return your money? Do you have a proper contract? Huh? Show us the proper contract!"

"Besides, I owed this money through my own abilities, why should I pay it back to you?!"

The villagers erupted in high spirits, their voices echoing in unison.

"That's it! That's it! Aunt Wang, she, she, she..."

"Alright, shut up, I'll talk. You bunch of heartless companies have ruined so many families! If we return your money, we're aiding and abetting evil! If you go bankrupt because you have no money, that's fine, the world will be rid of one more scourge!"

"Yes, the Party Secretary is truly educated! We're not paying back the money!"

"not return!"

"Not paying it back?"

"You still want to be impolite? There are so many of us, what gives you the right to be impolite?!"

The villagers' shouts came in waves, like a raging storm!

The man remained unmoved, sneered, raised his calloused hand, and pointed his thumb sharply behind him, "Do you know who these two behind me are?"

"Qiongqi and Taotie, two ancient ferocious beasts. A single swipe of their claws will break your bones and ligaments!"

The two ferocious beasts rubbed their hands together, looking at each other with menacing expressions.

The middle-aged woman across from him also sneered, "Old Li, Old Zhang!"

The crowd parted, and two elderly men emerged, trembling.

The man on the left was using a cane and would clutch his chest and gasp for breath every two steps, while the man on the right was in a wheelchair, his hands trembling as he slowly moved forward, turning the wheels.

The middle-aged woman crossed her arms and tossed her head defiantly, shouting, "If those two punch you two land one punch, you'll be bankrupt!"

The man froze, then the villagers' sneer came into view. A moment later, a "Holy crap!" burst out, "Why the hell aren't you guys playing by the rules?!"

The two thugs behind him were also stunned; they never imagined things would turn out this way!

They had prepared for both physical and mental damage beforehand, but they never expected their opponent to deal magical damage!

Taotie whispered to Qiongqi,

"What should I do? Should I still use my trick?"

"Use my ass! We've run into a tough nut to crack. What if we scare them and cause them serious injury? Are you going to pay for it? Or do you want to go to jail for another two years?"

"Uh, never mind then."

Qiongqi rolled its eyes as it watched Taotie instantly become docile.

So even a powder keg like you knows what it means to follow your heart? I thought you were still determined to fight to the death after being imprisoned for so many years!
