The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 235 The performance begins

After half an hour,

Amidst the anticipation of all the beasts, the first talent show was performed by Walnut, followed by the entire Mengji family and the Inari Fox family, which were met with thunderous applause in the courtyard.

"With so many beasts coming up at once, what kind of performance are they planning?"

"I'm guessing it's a skit."

The host, Puss in Boots, reappeared. She took out the program list that Bamboo had prepared, glanced at it, and after a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, loudly read out the first item.

"Next up is Walnut's presentation, 'Who are the real dads and moms?'"

What the hell?

The beasts' brains all froze for a second.

After announcing the program, Puss in Boots quietly left the stage. Just as some of the animals had guessed, Walnut's performance really was a skit, or rather... a family drama would be more appropriate.

The plot opens with a scandal involving a baby swap at the hospital where Fu-zai gave birth!

Walnut, who was at home nursing her child, was shocked. Since Fuzi was still away on a business trip, he grabbed Xiangtai and rushed to the hospital for a paternity test.

The test results showed that the child was related to Walnut, but not to Shota.

All the beasts: What kind of classic melodramatic opening is this?!

What followed was increasingly explosive: Shota secretly took his parents' hair for testing and discovered that he was only related to his mother by blood!

When Fu-zai returned, along with Oleander who joined in the fun, the little ones, whose brains were buzzing, went to get tested again.

Is Fuzai only related to his father by blood?

Oleander and walnut are not related?!

This result seems to have revealed some terrifying truth!

The stage erupted into chaos, while the audience below burst into laughter, creating a joyful atmosphere.

"Is this the kind of childish game you guys usually play? Hahahaha!"

"Holy shit! I can't live without laughing, hahahahaha!"

"Let's not talk about the plot for now. Look at the expressions on both sets of parents' faces, hahaha. They probably really want to kill the person who corrupted their child."

The beasts looked in the direction he pointed. Cotton Peach, Rice, and Fox's parents all seemed a bit strained during their performance, especially Fu Zai's father. His little darling had been ruined like this! He mustn't find out who did it!!

"Pfft hahahaha!"

"Won't laughing like this deduct my merit points? But I just can't help it, hahaha!"

Why are you laughing?

Feifei couldn't smile.

At that moment, she felt a chill down her spine and a chill in her heart; soon, her corpse would also be cold.

The director certainly won't cover for himself, so maybe he should just slip away as soon as possible?

……

After Fei Fei quietly disappeared from the banquet, the first act ended amidst laughter and joy, and the ending of this family drama was ultimately positive.

Oleander is an adopted child of the parents, while Fu-zai and Xiang-tai were brought together by their parents after they remarried when they were too young to remember.

Puss in Boots took a sip of his drink and exclaimed, "This script is pretty good; it doesn't seem like something Walnut could come up with in a short time."

Bai Jie silently ate his rice, not wanting to pay any attention to this dead cat.

He wrote the script; Walnut racked her brains and realized that she was best at playing house, so she asked him for help.

He had already planned out a show for himself and his two brothers, but as someone who was a bit socially awkward and only liked to cause trouble behind the scenes, Pixiu Baijie really didn't want to go on stage.

Puss in Boots, you really deserve to die! Ugh!

"Hundred solutions? Hundred solutions?"

Seeing that the sugar daddy remained silent, Puss in Boots poked him with the end of his chopsticks.

Bai Jie reluctantly raised his head. "What?"

"Ahem, um, you wrote the script, right? So, for the main storyline where you brothers meet, why don't you also give it a go?

"I do not want."

You just tricked me and now you want me to write your script? Pshaw!

……

The talent show continued, with one program after another taking the stage.

Yue Tian and Huang Jiu put on a magic show, with Huang Jiu doing all the work and Yue Tian just acting as a tool.

There was also a performance by the Rabbit God, a "Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl" by Totoro, and the Three Little Fierce Ones even came on stage to perform a crosstalk routine.

It was actually a rant about the production team. The poor little monster, the little dog, and the little peach, along with the atmosphere-maker, were all singing in unison. They didn't use a single swear word, but they were swearing like crazy. Even Puss in Boots couldn't hold back his anger when he heard it.

This show definitely wasn't their own idea; it's probably another one of Bai Jie's ideas! They wouldn't dare do this without someone backing them up!

Although the director himself felt extremely uncomfortable listening to this, the other animals in the yard laughed and applauded.

Finally, amidst a joyful atmosphere, they were treated to the highly anticipated talent show performed by the three brothers.

Puss in Boots, not in a very good mood, began his opening lines, "Next up is a song and dance performance by the three brothers, Bai Jie, Tian Lu, and Bi Xie. 'The Great Pixiu!'"

A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted, mixed with excited cheers and jeers. The sheer volume of applause was so great that it could have literally blown the canopy off if there hadn't been an empty space above!

Bai Jie moved slowly and hesitantly, until Tian Lu, unable to bear it any longer, pulled him away.

The three brothers stepped into the open space, drawing the attention of all the beasts and countless raised wine glasses. At this moment, Puss in Boots quietly made his exit.

The stereo was turned on, and after a simple intro, a catchy melody suddenly blared out!

A giant Pixiu, a giant Pixiu—

A giant Pixiu! A giant Pixiu!

Wishing you prosperity and good fortune, here's a big Pixiu for you!

Drinking baijiu and beer—

Drink red wine, drink spirits!

As the lyrics were sung in a deep, resonant voice, the beasts felt as if their brains had been raped!

Three Pixiu swayed from side to side in the center of the open space to catchy music, with short, loud, and exaggerated rhythms!

The powerful action combined with the catchy melody kicks open the doors to the audience's minds, etching the images and sounds into the deepest recesses of their memories, forcing them to be played again and again!

The Giant Pixiu

The production team forgot about the model song that was once a hit in short videos in their past life, and they forgot about its origin, but the catchy lines still remain in their memory.

Although it's just a fragmented impression, Bai Jiewen copied so much stuff that this restoration work is still manageable; you just need to arrange and combine the lines and melody according to the basic structure of the music.

Then it's time to practice the dance moves and find the beast to record the song. The talent show doesn't need to be too elaborate; an hour is enough.

However, while the song was effective, he felt ashamed!

Bai Jie and Bi Xie swayed and twisted the whole time, not daring to pay attention to their surroundings, their level of embarrassment was off the charts! Fortunately, they didn't get stage fright.

Of the three Pixiu, only Tianlu, shameless and heartless, didn't feel embarrassed at all, and happily wiggled his big tail.

"Oh my god! This song is awesome, I love it!" Amid the noisy atmosphere, Little Sparrow slammed her hand on the table and raised her glass. "Come on, let's have a drink!"

The people at the same table were stunned for a moment, then subconsciously raised their glasses. The whole courtyard seemed to be set on fire, turning around and boiling over, with toasts being exchanged and the sounds of toasts filling the air.

As the song reached its climax, Tianlu Bixie suddenly transformed into its adult form, with two real giant Pixiu appearing and dancing with the smaller Baijie. The surrounding area was filled with laughter and drinking, and the lively sounds could be heard even from a distance in the quiet village.

……

As the song ended, the three brothers left the stage amidst thunderous applause.

Puss in Boots went back on stage and picked up the megaphone. "Ahem, everyone, quiet down. The final show is over. Now it's time to vote. Please cast your votes for your favorite performance!"

A group of pre-arranged beasts moved between the tables, and paper and pens were quickly distributed to each beast.

The three brothers' side

Bai Jie plopped back into his chair, his heart still pounding.

This feeling is completely different from acting. Both are being the center of attention, but the latter is a job, a necessity, and something he's genuinely interested in, while the former is just being forced into it.

Bai Jie steadied himself, looked around, and noticed that Bi Xie looked a little awkward. "Hmm, I can understand," he thought. "Tian Lu... in the blink of an eye, he's already drinking with everyone else..."

"Hmph, I'm a master of drinking, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk! Today I'm going to take on all of you one-on-one! The losers, vote for us! Are you in?!"

Tianlu stepped onto a stool, his small body holding a wine bottle as he declared, looking like he was going to take them all down!

“We’re not afraid of you. Come on, let’s go!” Little Sparrow retorted, downing half a bottle of wine in one gulp.

Upon seeing this, Tianlu immediately picked up a wine bottle that was no shorter than himself and chugged it down in one gulp.

"Come again!"

"Come on, come on!"

Bai Jie watched speechlessly as the two guys chugged bottle after bottle, the case of liquor dwindling at a visible rate. Tianlu was one thing, but who knew how that little sparrow, with its small frame, could drink so much?

"Hey, let's have a drinking contest! I'll join in too!"

Rabbit God, who loves fine wine, joined in.

"Then I..."

Zhan Hu, who also loved wine, was kicked away by Rabbit Master as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You're such a terrible drinker, stay away! I'll handle it."

Needless to say, the oleander was dragged away by the ear by the cotton boll as soon as it got close.

A group of beasts who loved to drink were quickly attracted by the commotion. Tianlu Linran was not afraid to take on a group by himself. Relying on his ability to drink and his large stomach capacity, he would force-feed alcohol to any beast he caught. The beasts he forced to drink had to go to the toilet several times, but he was still fighting on the front line.

However, an accident still occurred. Although those with poor drinking habits had been eliminated, it still happened when a group of drunk guys were mixed together.
