The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 370 The End

"Dong dong dong."

"Come, come, who is it?"

A series of footsteps sounded, and then the door opened. The familiar figure of the Four-Faced Beast appeared behind the door, and the puzzled look on his face froze the moment he saw them and Seventy-Seven in his arms.

"Ah... Father, Mother? You... Why are you back? And with... Little Square..."

His voice grew softer and softer, his facial expression became increasingly stiff, and his neck seemed to be rusty.

Hearing the noise, the Pixiu in the living room poked their heads out. The two elders of the Qilin tilted their heads slightly, and their eyes met those of the three brothers who were looking over.

The next instant, Tianlu's eyes widened and he abruptly shrank back. Baijie and Bixie also reacted by contracting their pupils and disappearing from their sight.

The two elders couldn't help but smile slightly, and then looked back at the Four-Faced Beast.

Yu Qilin patted Seventy-Seven's head, his tone meaningful, "Son, Little Lychee has already told us, you don't need to hide it from us anymore."

Si Bu Huan opened his mouth, glancing at his father out of the corner of his eye, "Wh-what, Mother? Don't listen to Little Lychee's nonsense, she's just guessing. Little Square isn't my child at all."

"Who is the other bloodline provider for Xiao Qiqi?" Shi Qilin asked with a smile.

Si Bu Xiang was speechless, staring at him with an extremely complicated expression.

Isn't that you, Father? But can I say that in front of Mother?

Although his brothers always complained that he had low emotional intelligence, he still had this most basic sense of perception.

"My eldest son, no matter what absurd things you've done, you can't run away from them. As long as you take responsibility, your father and mother will support you."

Seeing that his son remained silent, Shi Qilin began to earnestly persuade him. Seventy-seven, who was in his arms, was sweating profusely, and Four-Faced Beast was even more hesitant to speak.

Upon hearing this, Shi Qilin became a little annoyed, "But... but the little cube really isn't my child..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Qilin became somewhat annoyed. "You unfilial son... You have a child right in front of you, why won't you admit it?"

His face was full of disappointment and frustration. He thought of his eldest son's obedient appearance in the past, and now he couldn't even shoulder the responsibilities of a father.

“You keep saying that Xiao Qiqi isn’t your child, but the other blood donor won’t say. Eldest son, this isn’t your fault, your father and mother understand.”

“But Father… Little Square is actually your child…” Si Bu Xiang lowered his head weakly.

Shi Qilin swallowed back all the angry words he had to say, and stared at him with a dumbfounded look. Yu Qilin's slightly furrowed brows and eyes also widened suddenly.

The eldest son's personality, another relative he has never mentioned, the strange looks the little Pixiu gave him, and the seeds of trouble he sowed in Heaven.

All these illogical points combined caused Shi Qilin to swallow hard, his voice trembling slightly.

"Eldest...eldest son, you're not joking, are you?"

Si Bu Xiang shook his head, while Qi Shi Qi weakly testified on behalf of the other party.

"Grandpa...it's all true, it's just that the Four-Faced Beast kept telling me not to tell you..."

Silence... a deathly silence...

This bombshell news left the two elders speechless. Shi Qilin opened and closed his lips a few times, not knowing what to say to his son for the first time.

"I was just kidding... You actually guessed right?! He really is your child?!" Yu Qilin pointed at Seventy-Seven in disbelief, looking up at his wife in shock.

"I...I don't know! Back then, I wasn't familiar with modern technology and didn't understand much. I was easily fooled into signing the contract. I remember back then they could only do cloning..."

The First Qilin released its claws in a daze, and Seventy-Seven jumped out and cautiously raised its head. The other party scratched its head hard and muttered to itself, trying to dig out its memories from that time.

"That's not right. Although I don't remember very clearly, I do remember confirming that they wouldn't mess with my bloodline."

"Could there be a loophole in the contract? After all, you didn't understand these things back then," Yu Qilin reminded him, frowning slightly.

"That must be it. How amazing, they actually tricked me!" Shi Qilin felt a chill run down his spine, and then suddenly remembered something and panicked.

"There must still be children at the breeding base I don't know about, right? Hmm... As for the eldest son, Daddy needs to deal with that urgently. And Little Lychee..."

He paused, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind, "Father will explain for you later."

In the living room, Tianlu suddenly shuddered, his face turning purple with fright.

"Ah, ah?" The Four-Faced Beast's mouth opened slightly, its clear eyes revealing confusion.

After a moment, he came to his senses, raised his front paw, and hesitated for a long time before finally uttering the words, "Actually, Father didn't have to say it..."

"How can that be? Daddy's mistake can't be blamed on you. You still have to pursue Little Pixie. This will have a big impact."

"Uh... Dad, don't change the subject..." Just as Si Bu Xiang was feeling a little touched, several black lines appeared on his forehead in an instant.

Tianlu stared in horror at the doorway, from which he could only see the back of the Four-Faced Beast. He raised a paw, a lump in his throat, unable to utter a single word.

Bai Jie and Bi Xie looked at each other, unsure how to comfort each other.

What about the child?

A sound came from the entrance hall again. The jade unicorn looked down at Seventy-Seven, its claws hovering in mid-air, then paused and lowered.

Seventy-seven noticed something was wrong, looked up at her, and his lips moved slightly, "Um... Grandma, I'm sorry..."

Yu Qilin stiffened, looking at her reflection in the other's eyes. She stretched out her claws, but her heart softened and she picked the other up.

"Sigh~ This child will have to meet people sooner or later, what are you going to do then?"

She rubbed her head, then glared at the sweating father and son.

"Ah... Xiao Qiqi's full background is definitely not suitable to be revealed. Just say that she is Xiao Tianlu's child, and don't show any abilities related to Qilin in normal times."

Shi Qilin wiped his sweat and smiled apologetically.

I was so focused on the kids that I completely forgot about my wife's feelings!

She felt relieved as she watched Yu Qilin holding Qishiqi in a harmonious embrace.

Luckily, my wife is very virtuous.

"Then let's leave it at that." Jade Kirin nodded.

The family of three said no more. Before leaving, the two elders put down the seventy-seven-year-old and gazed deeply at the living room.

The three Pixiu were there, but they didn't go in to say hello; they simply rode away on auspicious clouds.

As soon as the two elders left, the tense atmosphere in Pixiu's home, which had seemed frozen, suddenly relaxed.

Si Bu Xiang patted his chest as he returned to the living room, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart. He looked up and saw Tian Lu slumped on the sofa, looking utterly dejected.

"Uh, the little... the little blue circle?"

As soon as he spoke, he remembered the decision he had made with his parents.

Having cleared himself of the misunderstanding, it seems that only a few beasts know about Father's problem, and that only the world where Little Blue Circle was injured has achieved this?

"Hmm... It's alright, little blue circle. It's always been like this! It's just that your identity is now out in the open."

Si Bu Xiang tried his best to comfort him, while Bai Jie and Bi Xie looked at him with shocked eyes.

Tianlu raised his face, and a surge of overwhelming grief and indignation erupted from his dark green eyes!

"You four-legged creature! I'm going to eat you!!"

"Hey, hey, little blue circle, calm down! I'm just stating the facts!"

"Stop right there! Don't run away!!"

……

The next day came in a blink of an eye.

Lychee accepted the invitation of Qilin to visit Qilin Cave.

At this moment, she sat on the sofa with her brows slightly furrowed and her arms crossed. In front of her, Shi Qilin was fidgeting and looking around nervously, his gaze unfocused.

"What did you call me here for? It's been almost half an hour, hurry up and say it. If you don't tell me now, I'm leaving."

Lychee waited patiently for a while longer, but finally couldn't bear it any longer and bit her lip, rubbing her forehead.

"No, no, no! Little Lychee, don't rush... It's just that... this is... it's hard to say..."

"Is there anything bad to say?"

Lychee grew anxious listening to his hesitant voice. All the patience she had finally managed to muster today had been worn away.

She said impatiently, "Hurry up and tell me, or I'm really leaving."

Shi Qilin gritted his teeth. For the sake of his eldest son's innocence, he steeled himself and opened his mouth, "Little Lizhi, it's actually like this..."

I don’t know how long it took.

Lychee walked out of Qilin Cave in a daze and looked up at the sky. A few white clouds drifted across the clear sky, and colorful shimmering light reflected into her pupils. The beautiful scenery could not hide the shock in her heart.

Even now, Lychee is still wondering if there's something wrong with her ears; it was just too shocking.

She felt as if she were riding on auspicious clouds, picking up the shattered pieces of her worldview and piecing them back together along the way. When she arrived at the cave, her chaotic thoughts were finally sorted out.

Inside the cave, Zhuangzhuang was playing with his three cubs when he heard a noise, turned around, and was startled to see the strange look on Lizhi's face.

"Lychee's back. Uh, what's wrong? Lychee's expression is weird?"

Lychee gave the three cubs a complicated look, then called Zhuangzhuang outside to talk. Once the two beasts were outside the cave, she recounted the whole story that the First Qilin had told her.

Zhuangzhuang's expression gradually changed from confusion to the same bewilderment and shock as Lizhi when she first heard the news!

"This...this is too...too..." He opened his mouth, his throat moved several times but he couldn't utter a suitable word.

"This is amazing! I was wrong. I never expected things to develop like this," Lychee exclaimed, echoing the other person's words.

"However, Shi Qilin forbids us from spreading this around, Zhuangzhuang, remember to keep it a secret."

"Yes! No problem with the lychees, I'll definitely keep this secret!"
