Chapter 117 The First Encounter Between the Straw Dog and the Little Sparrow

In the sweltering summer heat,

In the mountains not far from Caiyun Village,

Yue Tian led a group of mischievous children to a cave. The sparse vegetation around the cave made it very conspicuous.

But that's enough to hide things, considering the area around Caiyun Village is so large, the chances of finding it by chance are slim.

A cart loaded with watermelons was pulled in, with nine oxen and two tigers, their bodies tied with ropes, panting heavily in front of it.

Truly, it took the strength of nine oxen and two tigers.

However, they are all cubs. If they didn't have cultivation to protect them, they would probably be exhausted halfway here after dragging the cart from the melon field.

"Quick, quick, everyone come and help! Once we've hidden the watermelon, we have to go to school. Lunch break is almost over."

Yue Tian ran to the cart, bit the rope, and pulled it backward. The other beasts also stepped forward to help without hesitation.

Before long, the cart was dragged into the cave. After Yue Tian indicated that he was done, everyone scattered and used their own methods to rush to the school.

At the old goat's house,

Xiaohang moved a stool and sat under the shade of a tree to wait. A gentle breeze blew, the branches rustled, and a few rays of sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves.

With a creak, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and the old goat walked in with a dark face.

"how's it going?"

Xiaohang asked with concern.

"Don't even mention it, all the melons I planted were ruined, and those little brats ate and took them, and even hauled a whole truckload of them away."

The old goat stomped his cane and said angrily.

Xiaohang was taken aback.

"There's another car?"

"Yes, um... Could you call Di Ting over to look for it? If you find it, I'll keep a few for myself and sell the rest to you cheaply."

"Uh, of course, no problem."

Xiaohang immediately agreed when he heard about this good thing.

He picked up his phone and dialed Didi's number. The call was answered quickly.

"Hey, producer, what's up?"

"Listen, the village chief has lost something. Could you please help him find it?"

Xiaohang said.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Xiaohang vaguely heard words like "earth" and "earth." After a short while, Di Ting's voice came through.

“I understand the situation. I know where the watermelon is hidden and I can take you there, but... I'm a little tied up here.”

"Huh? Why?" Xiaohang asked, puzzled.

Di Ting remained silent, but Tian Lu's voice rang out from the other end.

"Listen, who's calling you?"

"The producer said he needs me to come over."

"what?!"

The sound came through the phone, and Xiaohang immediately heard a commotion on the other end of the line.

"Hey!? Don't go!" came Tianlu's voice.

"If you leave, we'll die of heat!" came Golden Horn's voice.

"What does the producer want with you? Can't you wait until after get off work?" came Rabbit's voice.

"Beep——"

After hanging up the phone, Xiaohang paused for a moment and was about to call back when Diting sent him a text message.

"I'll take care of things here first, and I'll be there in a bit."

Upon seeing the text message, Xiaohang stopped dialing.

Less than half an hour later, Di Ting appeared at the courtyard gate. Xiao Hang looked him over and found that he looked very healthy, probably because he had absorbed enough yang energy.

"I'm counting on you from now on."

The old goat stroked its beard.

Di Ting nodded.

"Well, come with me."

After saying that, he turned and led the way.

at the same time……

On the other side, at the filming location,

Cameras were set up, and in the center of the venue, a phoenix, looking like it was skin and bones from hunger, raised its head with a resolute expression as the flower bird offered it porridge.

"I, the Phoenix, would rather starve to death here than eat a single grain of rice from the mortal realm!!"

Looking at the uncooperative patient, Hua Ruiniao clicked her tongue and then picked up a bowl of porridge and forced it down the patient's throat.

"At this point, don't be picky, just listen to the doctor."

Outside the shooting range,

Puss in Boots held the script, fanning herself while keeping an eye on the scene. Despite having a parasol over her head, she was still sweating profusely from the heat and felt like she might turn into dried cat at any moment.

As the camera focused on the phoenix being forced to drink a mouthful of porridge, it frantically drank from the bowl while shouting out that profoundly true line.

"It's so fragrant!"

This scene is basically over.

"Okay, everyone take a break before filming again."

Puss in Boots jumped off the chair, wiping her sweat as she walked toward the deer shop. She couldn't take it anymore in this awful weather and needed to get some water to calm down first.

Sigh~ I already miss Di Ting so much after only being away for a short while.

Puss in Boots sighed as she pushed open the door of the Deer Man shop, only to find the mythical beasts lying on the floor as if they were dead.

"Are you all alright?"

Puss in Boots was startled.

"Ugh, I'm dying of heat!"

Tianlu lay on the floor groaning, while Baijie and Bixie beside him didn't even want to say a word.

The three brothers, who were originally very close, started to keep their distance because of the heat.

"Don't complain anymore, calm your mind and you'll feel cool." Rabbit said weakly.

Feifei listlessly retorted, "Do you even believe that yourself?"

"Ah~"

All the mythical beasts sighed in unison.

Suddenly, a magnetic voice broke in.

What's wrong with everyone?

Then, the phoenix, now back to normal, strode in with elegant steps, surrounded by hundreds of birds, exuding an aura of power.

However, the beasts' expressions changed drastically when they saw him, and the divine beasts that were originally staggering instantly stood up.

"Don't come in! It'll be even hotter inside if you come in." Bai Jie collapsed in terror.

"Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm!" The beasts in the room nodded in unison.

Phoenix's feet froze, and he gave an awkward explanation.

"It's true that I'm a fire-type legendary beast, but I don't cause the temperature to rise."

The beasts looked incredulous, and even Puss in Boots silently retreated into the house.

The Flower-Scented Bird emerged from behind the Phoenix and said, "This is just psychological."

"But it's just too hot today." Tianlu slumped back to the ground, looking utterly dejected.

"If Di Ting were still here, his yin energy would be so refreshing."

"Wait a minute, this is yin energy!"

A sudden inspiration struck Tianlu, and he abruptly scrambled to his feet, wagging his tail excitedly.

"I have an idea!"

"Ah, what?"

Bixie and Baijie both cast puzzled glances at each other.

Tianlu exclaimed excitedly, "The evil spirits inside Bixie's belly must be very yin energy. Wouldn't it be cooler to go inside?"

Bai Jie's mouth dropped open, he really hadn't expected such a thing to happen. After his brain came to its senses, he suddenly showed a look of joy.

"Yeah, Tianlu, you're a genius!"

Then, under the astonished gazes of a group of beasts, Tianlu and Baijie eagerly pried open Kaixie's mouth and crawled into his stomach.

Only the Pixiu, its face disheveled, remained outside, enduring the scorching summer heat.

"Uh, can we go in?" the four-legged creature asked tentatively.

The demon smacked its lips, its expression extremely complex.

"It probably won't work. You might not be able to get out alive."

Upon hearing this, the beasts looked disappointed and sighed again.

Puss in Boots said helplessly, "We'll shave your belly hair when we film the medical check-up scene later. That should make it cooler then."

The screen turned,

In a mountain in the Caiyun Mountains,

The straw dog stared blankly at the scenery around it, which was both unfamiliar and strangely familiar, with three questions echoing in its mind.

who I am? where am I? What am I going to do?

After constantly encountering setbacks in the human world, he finally decided to leave the city and live in seclusion in the mountains. However, once he arrived in the mountains, he still couldn't find anything good and got lost as soon as he entered.

After pondering its dog life for a while, the straw dog lifted its paw and started walking, intending to see if it could meet a monster and ask for directions.

Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting patches of light; a gentle breeze stirs the trees, causing them to sway; and the faint chirping of cicadas echoes through the air.

Suddenly, a song rang out, its clear voice carried on the wind.

The straw dog's ears twitched, and its face lit up with joy.

Finally, we encountered other beasts!

He hurried towards the direction from which the sound came.

Before long, just as the straw dog felt that the distance was very close, a white shadow suddenly leaped out from behind a bush and jumped over his head.

The vibrant spiritual energy was scattered down, and before the straw dog could react, the energy landed on it.

Instant,

The vegetation grew wildly, and in the blink of an eye, his entire body was covered with flowers and plants, like a garment.

The flowers and plants on the ground also received the nourishment of the spiritual energy, and they suddenly grew taller and became incredibly dense, reaching up to their calves.

"Oops! What's that dog doing here? I'm so sorry, I accidentally sprinkled my spiritual energy on you and made you grow grass!"

Before the straw dog could process what was happening, a gasp came from behind him. He turned around in a daze and saw a white cat with a small red flower on its head rushing over.

"Are you OK?"

"Huh? Oh, I'm fine."

The straw dog seemed to wake from a dream, quickly shaking its head to indicate it was alright, the flowers and grass on its head swaying with the movement, making it look somewhat comical.

The little titmouse circled around him. He had an accident while working in the mountains, and he couldn't just leave like that.

"Let me cut the grass for you. After all, we're the ones who started it, so we'll take full responsibility."

The straw dog opened its mouth, feeling that the words were a bit strange, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with them, as if it was just that it was thinking the wrong thing.

Despicable humans! Not only have they abandoned and oppressed me, but they have also corrupted my mind.

Such a thought subconsciously flashed through the straw dog's mind.

The little titmouse obviously had no idea that the big dog in front of it was thinking a world of difference.

Seeing the straw dog hesitate, he patted his chest and made a solemn promise.

"Don't worry, I'm a great lawnmower, I guarantee you'll be satisfied, dog."

The straw dog snapped out of his daze and, upon hearing the little sparrow's words, subconsciously nodded in agreement.

So, in a daze, the straw dog was dragged by the little tit to an open space to start cutting grass.
