The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 309 (Extra Chapter) (Leaving)

"Ugh!"

A scream shattered the silence of the night.

Bai Jie was yawning and getting water in the bathroom when his ears twitched. He suddenly turned around and looked outside blankly!

A splash of blue and white rushed out the door and plunged into the deep night. The bushes swayed, and the shadows swallowed the familiar figure!

"Tianlu?!"

Bai Jie's face lit up with surprise, and she quickly rushed out of the bathroom.

The four-legged creature, clutching its arm, stared blankly outside. The lights divided the indoor and outdoor worlds into two distinct realms of light and shadow, and a faint smell of blood permeated the air…

Bai Jie's claws landed on the floor and suddenly froze, like wooden stakes.

His pupils contracted and dilated repeatedly, until, when he looked up, he met the gaze of someone looking down from behind the mask that resembled a mythical creature…

"noob……"

The four-legged creature paused, its mouth moving slightly as if it had been thinking for a long time. It lowered the paw that was covering its wound, and the paw pad, stained with a smear of blood, slowly pointed to the mirror beside it...

"Look in this mirror, is there anything different about me?"

Bai Jie's pupils trembled, and in the reflection of his gaze, a brown deer slowly appeared...

"What happened to the Four-Unlikes? I just heard the boss making a noise?"

A question broke the almost frozen silence.

The two beasts turned their heads together, and Rabbit peeked out from behind the door, looking at them with a puzzled expression.

"Oh dear, you strange creature, how did you get hurt?"

He looked startled and hurriedly walked in!

The four-legged creature paused for a moment, then instinctively covered its wound again. Its gaze behind the mask was somewhat complicated. Then it glanced at Bai Jie, who had remained silent.

"Xiaobai...why don't you go find Pipi first?"

Bai Jie lowered its head and drooped slightly at the tip of its tail, then grunted and quickened its pace to run out of the Deer Man Shop.

His petite figure was swallowed by the night, as if he had stepped into another world...

"—Splash, splash."

The bushes and grasses stretched out, and as I walked through them, I felt a slight, stinging pain from the cuts...

Bai Jie gritted his teeth and recklessly charged forward, chasing after the lingering scent in the air.

A few rays of moonlight scattered, broken by the intertwined branches and leaves, just like his thoughts at this moment…

—Tianlu has probably seen the true form of the Qilin... What should we do? What should we do now? Should we confess?

A branch brushed past his cheek, bringing a sharp pain. He groaned and leaped several times before landing in a small clearing.

It was a sparsely wooded area, and without the shade of the trees, the moonlight poured down like nectar. Tianlu, standing in the center, felt the moonlight washing over him, and suddenly paused, slowly turning around...

"Hundred Solutions?"

He slightly opened his mouth and subconsciously hid one paw behind his back.

With twigs and leaves tucked into its fur, Bai Jie approached, looking slightly disheveled. A hint of hesitation flickered in its eyes as it silently opened and closed its mouth.

"Bai Jie, what happened to you?"

Tianlu had just finished swallowing the bluebird when he saw his younger brother's disheveled state. His face scrunched up and he quickly ran over.

A bloodless claw reached out to brush the leaves off Bai Jie's body. Bai Jie pursed his lips, took two steps closer, and sat down quietly next to him.

After a moment of silence,

Bai Jie turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Tianlu, what's wrong with you tonight?"

Tianlu was taken aback, then looked up, his mouth opening and closing again as he pondered what he wanted to say. Suddenly, he realized the problem.

—The situation is unclear right now, can you tell Bai Jie? He's the kind of beast who doesn't like trouble and is content with the status quo.

His eyes flickered and his eyebrows rose, but his words immediately changed: "It's nothing, I had a fight with the Four-Faced Beast."

Bai Jie stared intently at him, her gaze so direct it felt like an invisible needle pricking Tian Lu's forehead, causing him to break out in a sweat and involuntarily avoid eye contact.

"Don't look at me like that, Bai Jie. I can't say anything more. Let me solve the problem first, okay?"

Bai Jie opened his mouth slightly, paused for a moment, and finally lowered his eyelids, leaning weakly against his brother. In the end, he still didn't have the courage to say it...

"All right……"

……

The two brothers stayed out all night, and when they returned the next day, breakfast was still served in the empty dog ​​bowl, and the rising sun was still shining brightly...

Bai Jie felt as if nothing had happened, and their peaceful days continued.

However, in less than half a day, he saw Tianlu walk out of the toilet looking dejected, followed closely by the bewildered-looking Si Bu Xiang, who also lifted the curtain and came out.

Bai Jie: "?"

Bai Jie slowly typed out a question mark.

He looked at Tianlu, who had come to his side, with a bewildered expression. His big eyes blinked, and his mouth opened and closed several times before hesitantly leaning forward and asking in a low voice:

"What did you go to do?"

Tianlu rested his chin on his hand, frowning in thought. "Baijie, do you know what the poop of the Qilin looks like? I remember it used to be colorful."

Bai Jie was completely baffled. It took him a long time to figure out Tian Lu's logic, and then his face fell, showing utter speechlessness.

"Tianlu, are you serious?"

……

Life continued as usual from today onwards. Tianlu and Sixiang did not have any conflicts, nor did they suddenly question or become indifferent.

Bai Jie felt as if nothing had happened. The only evidence that night was Tian Lu's occasional erratic behavior, holding strange objects and trying to exorcise the Qilin.

Bai Jie's tense emotions were gradually worn down by time, and after he realized that nothing seemed to be wrong, he gradually returned to his previous carefree state.

Sometimes at night, he would look up at the deep night sky, his eyes filled with countless stars, and he couldn't help but feel like a useless piece of trash... deceiving himself...

After the sun and moon have taken several turns...

When Bai Jie opened his eyes early in the morning, he learned that Walnut had gone missing. Not long after, Xiao Mengji returned on a colorful cloud with Fu Zai. The little fox also had a long tail.

Bai Jie looked at this thing, his eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

"Is that really a tail? Are you sure it's not some strange parasite?"

The little fox raised its squinty eyes and shook its head. "Fu-zai doesn't know either. Many colleagues have experienced similar situations."

The other beasts offered a variety of suggestions, but none of them seemed very reliable. Tianlu swished its tail and leaned its small face towards the strange tail with a long face.

"That's easy! Just bite it off."

"Eh?! But Fu-zai..." Walnut looked surprised and instinctively tightened her grip on Fu-zai's paw with worry.

"It's just a quick thing, I can be fast."

Tianlu was eager to try, but the strange face on the little fox's tail suddenly widened its eyes comically. When it met Tianlu's gaze, it saw a pair of seemingly eerie green eyes and a large mouth that was gradually approaching!

"--brush!"

In a flash, the strange tail that was right in front of Tianlu disappeared without a trace. When he raised his head in confusion, he saw the tail tumbling and crawling into the forest!

"This... it really is a parasitic organism?" Bai Jie murmured.

With the problem of the strange illness solved, Walnut cheered with joy. Bai Jie watched from the side, pursing his lips and glancing at Tian Lu without making a sound.

At this moment, Tianlu proudly raised his head and patted his chest, boasting something like, "See? My method works!"

Bai Jie thought this guy seemed a bit dim-witted, as if he had already forgotten about what happened before. It was probably for the best that he had forgotten.

However, the deed has already happened, and no matter how much Bai Jie struggles with it, what's meant to happen will eventually happen.

On the side of the Deer Man Shop, Tianlu poked his head out and stared intently at the direction of the main entrance, where the Qilin lay quietly on a recliner, taking a nap with a fan covering its face.

A moment later, Tianlu shrank back and turned to look at Baijie behind him, who was looking uneasy. Baijie seemed to have a premonition, and his tail tip swept across the ground anxiously as he asked.

"Tianlu, why did you suddenly call me over here?"

Tianlu's face turned serious. "Baijie, have you noticed that the Four-Faced Beast is acting strangely?"

Bai Jie's pupils contracted slightly, and the weight in his heart slowly sank...

—Tianlu found out after all…Should we tell him?

He looked up and stared directly into the other person's eyes, his mouth slightly open but then stopped, his throat bobbing as he remained silent for a long time...

—Really…should I say it?

Scenes flashed through my mind…

Tianlu asked incredulous questions, questioning himself, questioning the strange creature...

Enraged, Tianlu launched a fierce attack on the Qilin!

There was also simply a look of disbelief mixed with disappointment:

"Bai Jie, why did you hide this from me? You...you're in cahoots with the Heavenly Court?"

-

Bai Jie's eyes trembled violently, like a candle flame about to go out, flickering on and off. When they finally stopped, his eyelids drooped limply, and his own voice unconsciously echoed in his ears.

"Yes...yes. The night you scratched the four-legged creature, I saw a brown deer in the mirror in the room..."

Tianlu nodded vigorously, "Yes, that's it! I always felt that what I felt back then definitely wasn't a hallucination!"

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment. Seeing Bai Jie struggling, Tian Lu took two big steps forward and hugged his younger brother who was hanging his head!

"The Four-Faced Beasts may no longer be the Four-Faced Beasts. Bai Jie is so smart, he must have realized it too, but we're all having a hard time accepting it..."

"But it's alright, Bai Jie is here for you!"

"Hmm... Bai Jie..."

Tianlu tightened his grip, and after his impassioned words of comfort, he lowered his voice to speak without hesitation:

"I know Bai Jie likes comfort, but can you leave with me? Let's figure out the situation with the Four Unlikes before we make further plans?"

He said this without much confidence.

Bai Jie was a little afraid of change; even though things weren't going well in Heaven, she didn't want to move.

Tianlu descended to the mortal realm, and the mortal knew that he had struggled with his decision for a long time. In the end, he said nothing and secretly descended to the mortal realm without touching any of the gold and jade they had saved up while working in the Heavenly Court.

However, this time...

Suddenly, a creature was placed in his arms, its head gently squeezing in, its cheek pressed against his body, and its fluffy tail lightly hooked around his ankle.

"okay……"
