There is a beast: (Hundred Explanations)

Chapter 260 Familiar Place

Seeing Taotie's appearance, Bai Jie, who had originally intended to let him stay at the Deer Man Inn, immediately changed her mind.

"Hmm... how about letting him stay on this hilltop?" Bai Jie suggested.

Bixie and Tianlu looked displeased. Sure enough, this thief couldn't change his nature. Thousands of years have passed, and he's still a thief!

They used to steal the golden ball, now they want to steal the big one!

Wait, he used to do that too!

They pursed their lips, tsk, and didn't want to talk.

Upon seeing this, Bai Jie's lips twitched involuntarily.

Huh? That can't be right, can it?

Just a moment ago we were saying we'd find a place for Taotie to stay.

Why do you look so unwilling now?

If they were to answer, they would probably say that letting the Taotie live in the big guy's cave is one thing, but letting the Taotie live in the big guy's cave is another matter entirely!

"Let him go back to the bottom of the lake," said Bixie with a gloomy face.

The phrase "ward off evil" carried a chilling wind, which slowly blew towards the Taotie.

Just as Taotie was enjoying the chaotic kneading, it felt a chill that penetrated to its very bones.

Startled, he jumped back in a flash.

Chaos was a little confused. Had he used too much force and hurt the little guy?

That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that he soaked in water for too long and became bloated?

Are your skin and hair becoming fragile from being soaked?

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and even his gaze towards Taotie became somewhat pitying.

This child is so pitiful.

Taotie, realizing what was going on, felt that her older sister's gaze was a little strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

He glanced back at Bixie and Tianlu, then shrank back, realizing that these two were definitely unhappy.

The Taotie's head bristled with fur as it thought about its days at the bottom of the lake.

It looks more like a durian now.

"Cough cough, um... I feel like I can stay here with you, big sister." Taotie didn't have its claws at the moment, otherwise it would definitely have clenched its claws into fists and coughed a few times.

Upon hearing this, Bixie and Tianlu's expressions visibly softened.

Ha! That's more like it.

"Just find a place to stay around here. My house is almost finished, so you can come over when it's ready," Bai Jie said, shrugging.

Taotie nodded, having no objection. It was close to her older sister, so she could come and visit whenever she wanted; it was a good thing!

After finishing this task, Bai Jie walked towards Chaos.

"How are you doing, Big Guy? Is life here any better?" Bai Jie asked with a smile.

"Pretty good~" Chaos said, kneading Dijiang's body with its claws.

"If you need anything, you can come to me." Bai Jie nodded.

"Speaking of which, there is something I need to trouble you with."

Bai Jie paused, "Huh? There really is something wrong. Could it be that Chaos can't handle it?"

Under Bai Jie's curious gaze.

"Hmm...it's like those little stone-like things on your claws that can glow," Chaos said, gesturing to indicate their size.

Bai Jie was stunned for a while, pondering what kind of magical artifact it was.

Bai Zang, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore. This mother was usually so smart, how could she be so stupid now?

He took out his phone. "Is this it?"

Chaos's eyes lit up. "Yes."

"Huh?" Bai Jie's small mouth opened slightly.

So you really want a smartphone?

"Oh, you wanted a mobile phone? No problem~" Bai Jie said, waving her phone.

I thought it was something bothering me.

In the afternoon, Bai Jie had nothing to do, so she and the other beasts sat on the hilltop, enjoying the breeze and chatting.

That evening, the four Pixiu returned to the deer-man's shop together.

"Hey, you're back! Have you had dinner yet?" Hearing the noise outside, the four-legged creature, holding a spatula and wearing an apron, popped out and said.

The four-legged creature was preparing dinner with the rabbit god. He was in a great mood today because he had a good luck and won a lot of money.

Bai Jie: "No need, we just ate out..."

Tianlu: "What delicious thing did you make, you four-legged creature?!"

Tianlu came as soon as he smelled it.

"..." Bai Jie covered her forehead, speechless.

Adhering to the principle of "if you're going to eat it, you might as well eat it," we all sat down at the dinner table.

The four-legged creature sat opposite Bai Jie. "I heard that a mountain god came today?"

Bai Jie said while drinking water, "Oh, there's a new mountain god who came to mow the grass without reporting it."

The four-legged creature breathed a sigh of relief. It was quite lucky today. It knew the mountain god was coming and didn't spray herbicide beforehand, otherwise the surrounding flowers and plants would have grown wildly!

Sure enough, touching the Pixiu brings good luck.

I'll think of more reasons to touch it next time I have the chance.

Then, somewhat surprised, he said, "You can even trim the lawn? That's truly unique among Pixiu."

Bai Jie almost spat out the water she had just drunk.

Brother, you know you'll get beaten up by beasts if you talk like that.

Beasts that know you will not think anything of it, but beasts that are not familiar with you will think that you are really annoying when you talk.

"It's just mowing the lawn, it's not a big deal." Bai Jie rolled her eyes.

"That's not how it works. We still can't touch those iconic things on the mountain god. If we accidentally knock them off, we'll be in big trouble," the Qilin said, taking a sip of tea.

Bai Jie wiped away non-existent sweat from her face. "Hiss~ Luckily, I have Feng Chun."

Otherwise, you'll be in trouble.

"Ha~ But it has to be you, you didn't do anything wrong~" the four-legged creature breathed a sigh of relief.

"...Yes, indeed."

"I'm leaving now, you guys enjoy your meal!"

I shouldn't have come to the table to eat; I was hoping to have a leisurely chat! The result was so awkward.

While still rummaging through his food bowl, Tianlu heard that Bai Jie had stopped eating, and he took a moment to wave his paw.

Bai Zang ate a full dinner and didn't sit down at the table, instead fiddling with his phone.

"Xiao Zang, remember to take some time to say hello to your father."

"Okay~" Baizang replied.

Bai Jie ignored everything else and found a comfortable position to fall asleep.

Falling asleep instantly is great, but if you're in the wrong position, your paws might feel a little numb when you wake up. It's always better to be comfortable.

In a dream.

Bai Jie stretched and thought, "Great, where should we start today?"

There was an inexplicable feeling that led Bai Jie to head north.

"There seems to be something over there?" Bai Jie wondered.

Confident in her own abilities, Bai Jie followed her instincts.

. . .

Four types of people who should not get along.

"Ha! I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" Shan Tao thrashed about in the water.

Cotton Boil silently swam a little further away. Hmm... this father of hers, she might as well not have him!

Even though both she and her mother are good swimmers, why is her father so afraid of water?

The main point is that this is the fourth place they've been to!

I'm not afraid when I'm out of the water, but I'm terrified when I'm in it.

The first place is a forest with a variety of species, making it a pretty fun place.

The second place was the desert, where they left without a word, having nothing to linger over. Even though Mian Tao found the place quite novel, she didn't stay long.

The third place was quite funny; it was actually a fissure in the seabed. There happened to be a pool of water that had solidified and wouldn't dissipate underground. They poked their heads out from there and almost got swallowed up by the fissure.

Because Shan Tao was not good at swimming, he was about to get caught in the water when Tianlu Bixie transformed into his larger form and pulled him back.

This is the fourth location.

The cotton boll couldn't wait to jump onto the shore, and the four-legged creature and two pixiu carried the mountain peach away from the water.

It doesn't look that dangerous here, it's just a bit dark.

Cotton Boiled took a deep breath. Hmm... why does this place feel a little familiar?
