Chapter 168 Making Money
"Oh, this?" Before the three beasts could speak, Puss in Boots casually mentioned that Bai Jie and Fei Fei were together. The moment she finished speaking, the air fell silent, and two faint murderous auras gradually appeared, making the beasts feel a chill down their spines.
"very scary……"
Walnut Fukuko Shota was so frightened that he hid behind Puss in Boots, trembling with fear.
"Gulp, Wh...what's wrong?" Puss in Boots swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he looked at the gloomy-faced Pixiu brothers.
A moment later...
"Feifei!! I'm going to eat you!!" Tianlu roared in extreme grief and anger, his figure disappearing like a whirlwind in front of Puss in Boots and the other beasts, heading straight in the direction they came from.
"You guys keep filming, Tianlu and I are going to take care of something..." Bixie said through gritted teeth, leaving a blur as he caught up with Tianlu in an instant.
The two brothers ran away as fast as they could, leaving the four beasts staring at each other in bewilderment.
"Hey... I hope the white cat won't get bitten to death?" Walnut shrank back, a little scared.
"Ahem, it's alright, they should know their limits. Let's hurry up and get back to filming," Puss in Boots said with a dry cough.
the other side……
Bai Jie was pinned down by Fei Fei, struggling to keep its paws out of the other cat's head, and angrily said, "Aren't you afraid of being discovered? You'll be torn to pieces!"
"Don't be afraid, I brought a strong deodorizer so it's okay if the smell is left behind. In fact, the more you struggle, the more excited I get~" Fei Fei's expression became more and more perverted.
Bai Jie: "You're quite well-prepared!!"
Just as the two beasts were locked in a stalemate, and the little Pixiu was about to lose its innocence... its two brothers finally arrived just in time!
"Feifei!!" Tianlu roared in near-frenzy.
As soon as Feifei looked up, she saw the blue Pixiu baring its sharp fangs and rushing straight at her like lightning.
"Miao!? How come you're here so fast!?" Startled, she jumped up and ran away.
Bai Jie felt a sudden lightness in his body, and in the blink of an eye, Fei Fei had run more than ten meters away. Then, a familiar blue figure leaped over him and chased after him, shouting, "Stop! I'm going to eat you up today!!"
"Bai Jie, are you alright?" After Tian Lu, Bi Xie arrived quickly and asked his brother in a deep voice.
Bai Jie nodded blankly. Fei Fei might be a pervert, but he wouldn't hurt himself.
After confirming the situation, Bixie felt relieved, but then a murderous glint appeared in his eyes. He immediately stood up, his killing intent also flashing, and shouted, "Tianlu! Let's block her together!"
"it is good!"
……
Bai Jie got up and watched his two brothers chase after Fei Fei in silence.
This plot is so exciting! It's like the younger sister was kidnapped by a foreign blond guy, and the two older brothers were instantly furious. Who dared to steal our good cabbage? They then grabbed knives and chased after the blond guy, determined to kill him. The younger sister followed behind, looking shy and adorable, thinking how cute it was that her two brothers were jealous.
Pfft, what the hell am I thinking?
Bai Jie quickly shook his head to get rid of the strange idea.
……
Before they knew it, dusk was approaching. On set, Puss in Boots clapped his paws and said with satisfaction, "Good job, all three of you passed."
After a long afternoon of hard work, Walnut, Fuzi, and Xiangtai smiled upon hearing this, their efforts having paid off.
"Next, we'll pay you your salaries."
"We still get paid?" Fu-zai was stunned.
"Mwah! Walnut is going to make money! This is the first time I've ever earned money!" Xiao Meng's eyes lit up.
Puss in Boots grunted and took out 300 yuan from his pocket. Of course, his salary was more than that, after all, he was an important supporting character. However, most of it went to both sets of parents, and the remaining 300 yuan was a pocket money that was decided to give to the child after discussion.
"Wow, it's a hundred-yuan bill!" Walnut's eyes turned into the shape of money. "Wow! This is the first time Walnut has ever received a hundred-yuan bill!" He excitedly reached out his paw to take the 100 yuan. The special feel of the bill made him feel as if he was still in a dream.
"Director, does this count as employing child labor?" Shota was much calmer and raised the question as soon as he received the money.
Puss in Boots' smile froze for a moment. "Then you should give it back to me." She twitched the corner of her mouth and stretched out her paw.
Shota promptly stuffed the money into his pocket without changing his expression, which made Puss in Boots roll his eyes.
Not long after, the parents of the three children came home from get off work to pick them up. Walnut happily showed off the 100 yuan to Cotton Peach, and the two Inari foxes also jumped into their parents' arms.
On their way home, passing through Caiyun Village, they encountered the Pixiu brothers who had just returned. Walnut curiously asked Feifei how she was doing, and Tianlu replied resentfully, "She was sacrificed to the heavens!"
"Moji?"
Deep in the mountains, Fei Fei was hanging upside down from a tree by vines, swinging back and forth with the swaying of the branches...
"Someone, please save me!!"
……
In the stillness of the night, moonlight streamed into the room through the window. Walnut tossed and turned, his mind filled with the hundred-yuan bill, too excited to fall asleep.
How can I spend so much money? I can buy lots of marbles, lots of snacks, and treat my classmates to a meal. They'll be so surprised!
Walnut had these thoughts all in her mind.
After a while, he realized it was already 11 o'clock, so he quickly closed his eyes and used Mengji's dream-entering ability to force himself to fall asleep.
The next day...
Walnut walked into the school with its head held high, swaying around the classroom, and even waved its hand to treat its classmates to a bunch of snacks, almost as if to say, "Hey, how did you know I earned 100 yuan?"
He was so smug, his tail practically wagging in the air, which annoyed Qiong Xiaoqi so much that he couldn't help but mock him.
"What's there to be so smug about? It's just that you made money acting. You were just lucky. I could have done it too."
"There are 100 walnuts."
“If you go off to film and neglect your studies, you’ll definitely amount to nothing in the future. At best, you’ll just be a third-rate actor! Unlike me, I’m exceptionally talented and have an extraordinary presence. I’ll focus on my studies first.”
"There are 100 walnuts."
"What are you showing off! Money! It's just dirt! Holding a bowl of dirt, looking all smug, I despise you!"
"There are 100 walnuts."
Qiong Xiaoqi finally snapped, "Who taught you to talk like that! Can't you say something different?!"
Walnut paused for a moment, thought for a second, and said seriously, "You don't have 100 yuan, but Walnut does."
"I'm so angry!" Qiong Xiaoqi was stunned with anger. When did this crybaby start talking like a beast?!
The cunning strategist, having achieved his goal, retired gracefully.
……
"No, absolutely not! This is infuriating! I'm going to make money too, more than them! I'll show them what it's like to be the son of one of the Four Fiends! I'll crush them, make them awed and worship me, and turn them into my loyal underlings!"
During lunch break, in the deserted hallway, Qiong Xiaoqi paced back and forth angrily, his expression ferocious.
The other two little bears squatted beside him, their heads following his every turn, watching him get angry.
"Bro, you don't seem like the protagonist who makes a comeback; you're more like the villain who gets slapped in the face by someone who's trying to show off," Taotie said helplessly.
"What are you saying! Which side of your mother are you on?!" Qiong Xiaoqi instantly shifted the focus, "We're the brothers, why are you always taking the outsider's side! And where's the fierceness you had when you beat me up? Where's the hot temper you inherited from your father? Why are you acting like a lazy bum now?!"
"What does my dad's bad temper have to do with me? Your dad isn't a chatterbox either," Taotie said speechlessly. "Besides, your dad seems to have a penniless streak. Do you want to inherit that?"
"I...I!" Qiong Xiaoqi was speechless for a moment.
"Hmph!" After holding back for a while, he snorted coldly, "I'm not going to argue with you. I'm thinking about how to make money, make a lot of money, and slap that crybaby in the face. When you two are short of money, don't come to me!" With that, he turned and left.
Taotie and Xiaotao looked at each other in bewilderment.
……
Back in the classroom, Qiong Xiaoqi slumped onto his desk and his mind started racing, thinking about how to make money.
Working as a garbage collector is out of the question, too shameful. Crooked ways are also out of the question; both my dad and I are high-priority targets for the police, and any minor offense will result in immediate arrest. If Teacher Xie gets my dad out, at most he'll get a stab in the corner and a moral lesson, and then he'll just have to hide afterward. But I can't run away; I have to come to school no matter what.
"What should we do?" Qiong Xiaoqi rested his chin on his arm, his brows furrowed.
Live-streaming e-commerce might be a good option, as it would suit his famous and popular offspring, but his stingy father is unlikely to buy him a phone.
Qiong Xiaoqi sighed. Was joining that film crew the only option? He had already inquired and found out that the Pixiu in his class was the financial backer of that film crew. Wouldn't he just be working for them if he went?
"Forget it, I'll endure it. Right now, I'm like a beast under someone else's roof, I have no choice but to bow my head. This period of hardship and perseverance will surely lead to great success in the future!" Qiong Xiaoqi slammed his fist on the table and decided to do it. After school, he rushed home without stopping.
The three little monsters live in different parts of the city. During the Lunar New Year, they would stay together, and either Chaos Emperor Jiang or Qiongqi would drive a sports car to pick them up and drop them off. But now they are separated again. Except for Taotie, who still receives this treatment, the other two have to run home on their own.
"crunch-"
Qiong Xiaoqi pushed open the door, and the unpleasant sound of wood rubbing against wood assaulted his eardrums.
He stepped inside. The room was dimly lit, its poor location blocking out the sunlight from the neighboring building. Cobwebs hung in the corners, and the furniture was old and worn out—the kind of place even a thief would find shabby.
"You're back? The food's already heated up, I got it from Tao Tao." At the dining table, Qiongqi sat with his legs crossed, playing on his phone, with a rather lavish meal in front of him.
