The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 283 Welcome

Second day

At the foot of a hill in Caiyun Mountain, a bustling crowd had gathered. A large red wedding stage had been half-built, surrounded by tables, chairs, and benches, with all sorts of animals moving about.

Huge festive banners were displayed along the mountain road leading here. The bright red cloth was embroidered with gold lace, and the banners bore a line of large, black characters written in a flamboyant style.

Congratulations to Lizhi and Zhuangzhuang on their marriage!

Under the banner, Bai Jie and Qi Shiqi came over to greet the guests.

They squatted by a wooden pole, the slightly wilted green grass gently brushing against their paws. The cat-dragon rode on its back, circling them with curiosity.

The two Pixiu followed the yellow-green figure in mid-air, their gazes shifting. Seventy-Seven accidentally lost track of it and subconsciously looked left and right, almost making himself dizzy.

"That's strange."

With a flick of its tail, Totoro floated back to the other side of the wooden pole and coiled up. The cat-dragon climbed onto its brother's head and pointed at the two Pixiu with amazement.

"Weren't you three brothers always inseparable, always sticking together? Why did you change your surname today? And who is he?"

His paws turned seventy-seven points, and the Totoro kept nodding along with the meowing, causing the cat-dragon on its head to rise and fall.

"Ah, my name is Seventy-Seven, and I'm also a Pixiu. Tianlu Bixie was pulled away to help."

The little black Pixiu wagged its tail, raised its paw to its chest to introduce itself, and also explained the whereabouts of the other two Pixiu.

"I'm actually more curious about your background."

"Mimi."

Seventy-Seven was taken aback and subconsciously opened his mouth, but remembering that he couldn't speak carelessly, his tone became uncertain, "Uh... what is my background?"

Bai Jie's lips twitched.

—Who are you asking?

"Don't you even know your own origins or how you were born?"

Totoro stopped swaying its body and made a surprised sound. Then the two brothers approached, and Totoro's long body pushed against its younger brother and peered in front of the two Pixiu.

A shadow fell on Seventy-Seven's face. He tilted his head back, instinctively taking a step back, glancing at Bai Jie out of the corner of his eye.

Do I know?

—So you were asking me.

The black tail tip brushed against him, causing an itchy sensation. Only then did Bai Jie realize what the other party meant.

"Could there be something fishy going on?" The cat-dragon picked up the two Pixiu with its paws and looked down at them with suspicion.

Bai Jie pulled Qi Shiqi behind him and rolled his eyes at him.

"What kind of shady dealings could there be? Tell me!"

"Whose child is he? He looks a bit like a four-legged creature," Cat Dragon guessed, stroking his chin.

Bai Jie patted Qi Shiqi and turned to look at him, "Look how big he's grown."

"That seems to be true. Could it be from a previous life? Tianlu and Bixie were struck by lightning, could it be..."

Seventy-seven noticed that Bai Jie gripped his claws a little tighter and seemed to touch them a couple of times.

"Hey, I'm only 14 this year, and I'll be 15 in a while. Besides, he's 77, which is older than me."

Bai Jie grumbled irritably and took two steps back to avoid the discomfort of tilting his head back.

"What? I thought there was some big news." The cat-dragon's eyes dimmed, and the totoro shrank back, meowing twice in disappointment.

Seventy-seven glanced at them, then at Bai Jie who had released himself, his mouth slightly agape.

—Is that all? It feels like Bai Jie said nothing at all, yet it also feels like he said everything.

A cool breeze gently ruffled my fur, and the chirping of insects in the forest mingled with the lively sounds of the wedding party, filling my ears.

They had been talking for a while, and finally the first beast appeared.

A pure white figure approached, her blue and yellow heterochromatic eyes sparkling. Bai Jie's face twitched at the sight of her; this troublesome person had arrived.

"Bai Jie? Huh, isn't your brother here?"

Feifei ran over in a flash, her eyes darting around as she looked around twice. Once she was sure the two dangerous people weren't there, her expression became carefree, and her gaze fell on Seventy-Seven.

Suddenly, Bai Jie felt a chill run down his spine, and a sense of foreboding pierced his scalp. He reflexively raised his paw and opened his mouth.

"Hey, you..."

"Hey, who's this? Another Pixiu has appeared in your house. Did you give birth to it while you were a girl? Did my erotic drawing come true?"

Bai Jie was ultimately a step too late, allowing Fei Fei to reveal some shocking news. He dared not look back at Qi Shiqi, already able to imagine the other's shocked expression.

—You stinky cat! Wait until it's just the two of us before you talk about playing those overpowered tricks!!

She couldn't let her stay here any longer. Bai Jie quickened his pace, rushed over, covered Fei Fei's mouth, and pushed her inside forcefully.

"We have guests to welcome and other things to do, so hurry up and leave! Go inside, go inside!"

"Hey, hey, is Bai Jie angry? Don't be angry, I apologize, I won't say anything nonsense, can I stay a little longer?"

"hurry up!"

Bai Jie pushed her forcefully, step by step, inside. Fei Fei struggled to explain and apologize, but her hands still couldn't resist reaching out.

Behind them,

Seventy-seven's gaze swept back and forth strangely, his mouth agape, his jaw almost dislocated, and he could hardly close it.

He had been searching high and low without finding it, but it came to him effortlessly. Before he could figure out how to uncover the three brothers' secret, one was delivered to him by himself.

He eagerly raised his front paw, finally unable to contain his curiosity, and took two steps forward to ask, "That Bai Jie, what did she mean by what she just said?"

"Don't worry about this for now, we'll talk about it later!"

Bai Jie didn't have the courage to turn around, so he used even more force on Fei Fei, pushing and shoving her inside.

Totoro was engrossed in watching the show from the other side of the wooden pole. Totoro even pulled out a pile of mud from somewhere and shared some with his little brother on his head. The two animals ate and watched at the same time.

"Hmm, brother, where did you find this mud? Why does it smell different from what it tastes like?" Cat Dragon took two bites and then lowered his head to smell it carefully.

No, the smell is the same, but the different muddy smell comes from a distance.

He snapped out of his daze and looked up abruptly.

A figure stood 10 meters away, wearing a black trench coat with a silver lining featuring a huge X, black trousers, and hiking boots.

At this moment, Xu Xian looked at Bai Jie and Fei Fei with a bewildered expression as they pushed and shoved each other, while a black Pixiu he had never seen before peeked out from the side.

He looked around and saw the Totoro brothers who were staring at him. He quickly walked over to them and asked in a low voice.

"No, kid, what's going on with Bai Jie and the others?"

Two pairs of eyes stared straight at him. Without answering the question, Maolong narrowed his eyes and suspiciously examined the coat.

"Are you human?"

"Could I be an alien?"

Xu Xian was baffled. He had just come to ask about the situation, so why was he being suspected of being of a different race?

"Mimi, mimi mimi." (The younger brother asks who he is first.)

Totoro raised its body and meowed twice. The cat-dragon nodded and stared at Xu Xian again.

"The main issue is that this is the first time a human has appeared in our shop. By the way, who are you? Do you know Bai Jie and the others?"

"Xu Xian?"

Before Xu Xian could answer, Fei Fei, who was being forced inside, glanced in their direction and recognized him.

Bai Jie stopped what she was doing and instinctively turned around, calling out his name in surprise.

Xu Xian is over 30 years old this year, but he is well-maintained and looks like he is 28 or 29. He raised his hand, and the hem of his robe slipped down, waving to the mythical beast from long ago.

"Hey, I came because you sent out invitations, so what are you guys doing here?"

Neither the cat nor the pixiu paid him any attention, instead scanning every pocket on his body.

"Now that you're here, does that mean Grey Fairy is here too?" Fei Fei licked her lips excitedly, her pupils shrinking into slits.

Bai Jie was also concerned about this issue, because as long as there was a mouse, the cat wouldn't bother him.

Xu Xian blankly lowered his hand. There was a sound coming from the inside pocket of his trench coat. A claw was poking him frantically. On the other side, there were also two pokes in the pocket.

He looked strange.

—I was wondering why neither of you had made a sound? Little Grey was one thing, but even Grey Fairy hadn't jumped out. It seems you've already smelled the cat.

"Mimi?"

"Grey Fairy? Who is Grey Fairy?"

There are question marks on the top of Totoro's head.

Xu Xian felt the stirring in his pocket again. He pondered for a moment, and the next second, with lightning speed, he pulled a gray figure out of his pocket.

Ah! He's right here!

"You son of a bitch, Xu Xian! I haven't done anything to you today, have I?!"

The fat, gray rat cursed and stumbled as it tried to crawl into his sleeve, but Xu Xian reacted quickly and threw it to the ground.

With a squeak of agony, the gray rat shadow rolled twice on the ground before scrambling to its feet. In a flash, the hairs on the back of its head stood on end, and three menacing gazes fell upon it.

Grey Fairy's neck stiffened, and her head slowly, choppy, turned around. Fei Fei, Totoro, and the three beasts stared at her with strange eyes.

Don't forget, the Totoro brothers also have the bloodline of a cat, in addition to being dragons.

"Gulp... Um, young master, no! I think I haven't showered in months, and the meat is greasy and doesn't taste good!"

The small, pitiful, and helpless mouse huddled in the deepening shadows, trembling.
