The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 246 Qiongqi's Little Tricks for Getting Free Meals

"Ah, you've come. Please have a seat here."

"OK, all right."

Si Bu Xiang carried three Pixiu into the interview room. A bearded man greeted him warmly. After exchanging a few words, he led the four beasts to sit down in the middle.

Bai Jie shrank back a little, hoping to ask himself as few questions as possible.

"Ask me any questions you may have," Tianlu said, tilting his head back.

The bearded man hesitated for a moment before holding up the microphone. "Could you please switch roles and perform for me?"

The reporters' eyes lit up.

This looks fun and should attract a lot of attention; people are even looking forward to it.

Stared at by a bunch of intense gazes, Tianluhao remained unfazed, patted his furry chest, and instantly got into character.

"Tianlu, you can go back now. See you here tomorrow."

His eyes were half-closed, and his voice was calm with a hint of doting. He looked exactly like a clone.

The bearded man raised his eyebrows in surprise, and a round of applause broke out around him. Tianlu closed his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air. "I can't be seen by too many people."

"What superb acting skills!"

Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Next, it was Bixie's turn. He opened his mouth in front of the microphone, trying to adjust his facial expression, but his eyes didn't fully open. In the end, he only managed to utter a sound.

"Brother...brother?"

She has no acting skills, she's all arrogance.

Bai Jie, as if possessed, felt an urge to say "Hey!" and so he did it.

"Eh."

The next instant, a claw reached out.

"Boom!"

"Ow!"

Bai Jie covered his head and shrank further inside.

Tianlu, the four unrecognizable creatures, left many reporters dumbfounded.

You actually responded?

Pi Xie blushed slightly and said angrily, "What are you doing, Bai Jie?"

"Uh...it's nothing."

The little Pixiu was so guilty it wanted to crawl into Tianlu's belly. The driver, who was so stubborn, instinctively got hard. Why couldn't he control himself?

"Alright, alright, Little Plum Blossom, calm down. We're doing an interview now," Si Bu Lian hurriedly stepped in to mediate.

Bixie glared at his younger brother, who had suddenly become sarcastic, and sat down.

Seizing the opportunity, the bearded man immediately shoved the microphone to Bai Jie's lips again, "May I ask how you usually get along with your two older brothers? Was that 'Eh' you just made out of surprise or was it intentional?"

Bai Jie: "..."

Bai Jie stared at him, his eyes revealing a desire to kill someone.

"Ahem! It seems that little Baijie doesn't really want to answer this question, so let's try another one."

"I heard you're no more than 13 years old. Is that true? And why were you born?"

"Many people online are doubting you, thinking that your two older brothers are father and son. Ah, of course, this is just a rumor, and the facts should be taken into account."

Bai Jie remained expressionless. "It's true that I'm very young. I was born from heaven and earth more than ten years ago, but the specific reason is still unknown."

"Oh I got it."

The two sides exchanged questions and answers for several rounds.

The Four-Faced Beast explained its reasons for joining the production team: the invitation from the Qilin, the allure of brotherhood, and the fact that there aren't many anime series on the market that require the Four-Faced Beast form, making this the most promising one at present.

The three brothers then answered some gossipy questions, such as whether they could really lay eggs and whether laying eggs would really result in being struck by lightning.

After asking around, when the microphone was brought up again to Bai Jie's lips, the bearded man brought up matters related to the plot.

"The recent release of the main storyline of 'The Beast' has caused a great stir. The storyline reveals that you successfully escaped, but why did you reappear in the Heavenly Court?"

"Well..." Bai Jie thought for a moment and replied, "I can't say for sure. But the director is already preparing to film a few episodes just for me, so you can look forward to it. It'll be pretty heart-wrenching."

He didn't say that he wrote most of the script himself, fearing he would be criticized if he did.

In the reception room, the group of beasts who had come with them watched the scene on the screen with great interest. The bearded man performed steadily, and the questions he asked were as intimidating as ever.

Especially the part where Bai Jie gets hammered, the ferocious beasts laughed heartlessly.

As the interview progressed to the point where the two parties were talking, the clock on the wall pointed to 11:40.

Qingqi glanced at the time, scooped up her son and stood up. "We have something to do, we'll be going now."

After saying that, he turned and left. The poor little Qi, who had been picked up, was slightly stunned and seemed to realize something. When he was thrown back, he immediately followed after him.

"Hey, it's already lunchtime, isn't it perfect for us to eat together?" Tao Tao asked, puzzled.

Based on his understanding of his old friend, eating together meant that someone else might pay, or at least the bill would be split equally. How could this stingy guy possibly miss out?

"Eating together is too expensive, I can't afford it. It's too cheap, I feel bad seeing you guys eating well, so I won't go. Bye!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the reception room slammed shut.

"What's wrong with this guy today?" Tao Tao muttered and looked away.

Taotie felt something was off. After a moment's thought, she jumped off the sofa and followed him, saying, "Uncle, I'm leaving too."

The door opened and closed again. Fu Zai's mother instinctively stood up, opened her mouth, and then looked at Tao Tao in astonishment, who had no reaction.

Is it alright to let the child go home with one hand?

"It's okay."

Even if they're still cubs, they're still ferocious beasts that have lived for hundreds of years. If something can happen here, they should quit and be kicked out of the group chat.

……

The entrance to the office building.

The Qiongqi father and son swaggered out through the glass door. People and cars were coming and going in the sky, and it was still lively even though it wasn't rush hour.

Qiong Xiaoqi instinctively looked back, then followed his father and disappeared into the crowd.

The next moment, Taotie's head peeked out from around the corner of the stairs in the lobby. Something was fishy, ​​so he followed without hesitation.

The city center was crowded with people. The Qiongqi father and son walked through the streets and alleys and arrived at another bustling commercial street.

As Qiongqi walked, he suddenly frowned and turned around abruptly, only to find that there was nothing behind him.

"What's wrong, Dad?"

"nothing."

After dealing with his son, he continued on his way, with Taotie emerging from the telephone pole where it was hiding to follow.

The two sides walked together and followed each other for more than half an hour before they finally reached their destination.

A hotel, a hotel where a wedding seems to be taking place.

The father and son skillfully transformed into human form and entered the hotel. When the bride came to greet them, Qiongqi calmly handed her a red envelope before entering.

Taotie stood dumbfounded at the alley entrance.

Uncle Stimulus could never have known the bride and groom or anyone else, and he could never have given them a red envelope!

So there's only one truth: this guy was just pretending to be a relative to freeload a meal, and the red envelope was definitely filled with newspapers, or even ghost money!

Back in the office building, the Qilin and the three Pixiu finished their interview and walked out of the interview room, while most of the beasts that had come with them were still outside.

They were surprised to learn that Qiongqi and the other beasts had left ahead of time.

"Then what do you mean by 'why should I leave'?" the Korean drama asked, puzzled.

Tao Tao spread her little hands, "They might be eating out somewhere else, but don't worry about them. I know a good restaurant, I'll take you guys there for a meal, let's go!"

"Huh? Oh."

Once someone starts leading the way, everyone subconsciously follows along.

A group of mythical creatures disappeared into the closed elevator doors, and at that moment, reporters poured out of the open interview room, each carrying their equipment and dispersing.

The bearded man returned to his office and plopped down in front of his computer.

"Whoo~"

He exhaled, squinted for a moment to relax, then opened his eyes again to look at the young reporter who had followed him in. "Come on, how's it going with the selling points I told you to remember?"

"Okay, senior, please take a look."

A notebook was handed to him, and the bearded man casually took it and flipped through it, then fell silent.

Why do the three ferocious beasts want to have offspring? Is it a desire for succession, or a shady deal?

Why is Walnut so resistant and alarmed by the reference to monogamy? Is it based on fact or simply out of disgust?

Is there any strange relationship between the three Pixiu?

The bearded man looked at these headlines and hesitated, "You... don't try to use clickbait headlines online!"

……

Now, let's divide things into two parts and talk about Qiongqi.

The hotel lobby was bustling with noise. Everyone picked up their chopsticks and chatted as they ate. The aunts and uncles gossiped about the bride and groom, while several children ran around between the tables.

Qiongqi sat in the corner, his face flushed, chugging down cup after cup while chatting animatedly with his buddy at the table.

Beside him, two children were wolfing down their food: one was Qiong Xiaoqi, and the other was none other than Tao Xiaowu!

That's right, she came too. Knowing about the ferocious beast, he had no sense of shame, morality, or shame. He figured he might as well take advantage of the free food, so he also sneaked in.

"Glug glug, who are you, bro? I've never seen you before," a middle-aged man said, his face slightly flushed and his words slurred.

Qiongqi was taken aback by the question.

It would be a miracle if he'd actually seen him. He just snuck in to freeload, and he even disguised himself as a human to avoid being recognized, but he can't let that slip.

Suddenly an idea struck him, and he chuckled and said, "Haha, my family history is a bit messed up, let me think... I am the younger brother of the mother of the granddaughter of the groom's uncle's son's uncle's sister."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a long time after hearing this long string of words, and finally blurted out, "Isn't that Meimei?"

Holy crap, you actually understood the truth? I can't even repeat it a second time!

Qiongqi was greatly alarmed.
