Chapter 187 Childhood Form
Today, the superstar Phoenix came to the film set again, this time bringing his wife and children with him.
Inside the sunshade set up by the staff... the Qilin and the Phoenix chatted enthusiastically.
"My eldest son has a crush on the three little Pixiu. After all these years, I can finally see hope that he will find a partner!" Shi Qilin gestured, his childish voice full of the joy of an old father.
"Sigh~ You've got a chance, but I don't even have a chance. I wanted to introduce someone to Apeng, but he won't even come." Phoenix sighed and rubbed her forehead with her wing.
"Don't worry, old friend. I'll go back and look for a matchmaker among the younger generation! They have good luck in love, maybe they can win over A-Peng. If that doesn't work, I can at least give them a blessing to help them accumulate some good luck in love."
"Well, but with A-Peng's personality, even if he meets a good match, it's hard for him to be interested in the other person."
"Hey, is that all?" Upon hearing this, Shi Qilin immediately patted his chest and assured everyone, "We have many mutant Qilins in our family, and we've had all sorts of bad romantic encounters. We'll just try them all!"
……
As the Golden-Winged Roc listened to the conversation between his two elderly fathers, his eyelids twitched involuntarily. This topic was like roasting him over a fire; he couldn't lift his head at all.
The Qilin and the Phoenix got more and more excited as they talked, and even discussed their experience on how to help the woman during a blind date.
"Mother, can you do something about Father?" The Golden-Winged Roc, after enduring for a long time, finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned around to say.
In the direction he was facing, the Jade Qilin was chatting with a black phoenix; she was the Phoenix's wife and the Golden-Winged Roc's mother.
The male is called Phoenix, and the female is called Phoenix!
With her entirely black plumage, slender body, and a cool, noble air, she exudes the majesty of the king of birds!
"That's just how your dad is, I can't be bothered with him." She narrowed her phoenix eyes, glanced over here, and then turned back to continue chatting.
"Ah Peng, don't be like this. I'm doing this for your own good," Phoenix said earnestly after hearing her son's words.
The Golden-Winged Roc impatiently raised its wings to cover its ears, not wanting to listen to its father's nagging.
Phoenix said a couple more words, but seeing that he wouldn't listen, she had no choice but to stop.
Just then... the door suddenly creaked open, attracting the attention of all the beasts, who all turned to look.
Si Bu Xiang Yan Ran stood outside the door. Facing the gaze from inside, he swallowed nervously and lowered his head to enter the house.
The two elderly fathers immediately came to greet them warmly.
"Little Si, do you still remember me? I even held you when you were little!" Phoenix greeted him cheerfully.
The Four-Faced Beast lowered its head even further. The First Qilin came up and patted it, "Eldest son, don't just stand there! Call him Uncle Phoenix and Auntie!"
Among the Qilin clan, Si Bu Xiang is the oldest in terms of seniority besides his parents. Si Bu Xiang never experienced the classic New Year's greetings to relatives, but now he's making up for it.
He was so embarrassed he almost stammered out his three-bedroom apartment, and finally managed a weak "Hello, Uncle and Auntie..."
"Hey! Little Si Bu Xiang is so good!" Phoenix smiled like a chrysanthemum, vigorously rubbing Si Bu Xiang's head with its wings.
Phoenix also came over, took out a handful of cloud dew from her bosom and handed it to him, "Here, I picked it on the way."
Si Bu Xiang took it blankly, and Feng Huang whispered in his ear, "Actually, it was specially prepared by your aunt, but she's a bit arrogant."
After saying this, he seemed afraid that his wife would hear him, so he immediately turned to Shi Qilin and said loudly, "Your child is so cute! Sigh~ Ming Apeng was very clingy and well-behaved when he was little, but unfortunately he became rebellious when he grew up."
The Golden-Winged Roc rolled its eyes and turned its head away, refusing to look at him.
The First Qilin beamed, "Haha, no, no. My eldest son was probably not as good as Apeng when he was little. Back then, he was a beast and wanted to find a companion, so he ran around every day, causing a lot of trouble. He even wanted me and his mother to have another brother, and he even wanted to have one himself, secretly watching me and his mother to learn how to lay eggs..."
"Father!!" Si Bu Xiang squeezed out two words through gritted teeth, his voice becoming shrill with shame.
Upon hearing this, the two heartless creatures, Qilin and Phoenix, burst into laughter. Yu Qilin covered her mouth, and Phoenix's eyes also held a hint of amusement.
The Golden-Winged Roc flapped its wings, adopting a smug, expectant stance. After enduring so much humiliation and torment, it was finally getting some beasts to share the burden. However, it hadn't expected that the spectacle would be short-lived, as it would soon be the next to suffer a severe beating.
"Ah Peng is a handful too. When he was little, he wanted to be the King of the Sky. He was always getting into fights with the crows on the neighboring mountain, and he never won in the end," Phoenix laughed.
The Golden-Winged Roc nearly ground his teeth to powder, even though he didn't actually have one.
No wonder these two guys became old buddies; they're so compatible. The two kids wish they could disappear into a crack in the ground.
The Qilin and Phoenix then chatted for a long time, their conversation revolving entirely around their respective children. For example, which of the three Pixiu and the Four Unlikes would they ultimately end up with? And what kind of bird could possibly capture the Golden-Winged Roc?
The two elderly fathers were extremely worried about their child's marriage, but it seemed inappropriate to talk about it in front of their child, so they bowed their heads almost to the point of breaking.
"The set is ready, we're about to start filming."
Finally, the savior arrived.
Puss in Boots opened the door and greeted them, interrupting the conversation of both sets of parents. The Four-Faced Beast and the Golden-Winged Roc immediately looked up, their expressions of relief evident.
Six pairs of eyes shot over, two of them filled with gratitude. Puss in Boots was genuinely taken aback, but still waved its paw to call them out.
The next scene depicts the phoenix and the phoenix being a match made in heaven. They meet on a parasol tree, but the phoenix is too aloof and the two part on bad terms.
Heaven and Earth panicked when they saw this, and immediately worked overtime to create a child for them and send it to the Phoenix. However, the Phoenix not only didn't incubate the egg, but also threw it to the Phoenix King.
As a male bird, the phoenix found an egg inexplicably in its nest. It quickly accepted the reality and laid the egg itself. The egg that hatched was none other than the Golden-Winged Roc.
He himself found this part of the plot extremely painful, not for any other reason than the Phoenix's kind old fatherly smile and the comforting words, "Ah Peng's childhood appearance, how nostalgic. I never expected to see him again in this way, what a great director."
I don't know what the other beasts think, but the Golden-Winged Roc definitely wants to quit!
Upon learning of his idea, Phoenix, who was still hoping to see young Apeng, quickly came to persuade him, "Apeng, don't be like this. You were clearly very cute when you were little. There's no need to be shy."
The Golden-Winged Roc gritted its teeth in hatred.
Shy?! Why do you think I feel ashamed and don't want to act?!
"It's just that you've shrunk. Your father is like that, don't worry about it." Fenghuang also came up to comfort the child.
He had no temper with his mother, the Golden-Winged Roc. He shook his wings in frustration, and finally transformed into a fledgling covered in downy feathers.
Phoenix's eyes lit up instantly, and his fatherly love burst forth. He stretched out his wings and hugged him, saying, "Ah Peng, Ah Peng, call me 'Father'! It's rare for you to turn back into your childhood self!"
The Golden-Winged Roc didn't give them any face and retorted bluntly, "I transformed for a movie, not to play house with you!"
Despite being disliked, the Phoenix still wore a smiling expression, as if looking at a mischievous child. This made the Golden-Winged Roc even more unbearable, so he simply shook him off and jumped down to walk towards the arena.
The Phoenix family went to film a movie, and the Qilin family, who were just there to join in the fun, watched them leave.
Shi Qilin rested his chin on his hand in deep thought, then turned to look at his son after a moment.
"What's wrong, Father?" Si Bu Xiang asked, puzzled by the gaze directed at him.
"Baby~" Shi Qilin called out with a smile, and then shamelessly leaned against his son and started to act cute!
"Daddy also wants to see what you looked like when you were little. Don't be sad, let your daddy and mommy hug you~ Also, the little Pixiu seem to prefer their smaller form."
"Huh?" The Four-Faced Beast's pupils dilated in shock.
……
That afternoon, the three Pixiu dragged their exhausted bodies home. They had been forced to repeatedly explain the relationship between the three brothers, and endured various quizzes all day! They were physically and mentally exhausted.
The stone door to the Qilin Cave opened, and Bai Jie walked in listlessly, his head drooping. Suddenly, he heard a childish voice calling them.
"Plum blossom, sun, blue circle".
"Ok?"
The three brothers looked up in bewilderment at the same time, only to see the First Qilin standing in front of them with a smile, holding a cute little Qilin with a helpless expression in his arms.
Its fur is pure white, with front paws and hind hooves. Golden antlers grow from its head, gleaming with a precious light. Its grey eyes, cleansed of all artifice, are deep and moist. Isn't this a miniature version of the Four-Faced Beast?
"What are you doing here?" Bixie asked hesitantly.
"It was Father who insisted on making me look like I did when I was little." Xiao Si's voice was tinged with grievance.
Bai Jie's heart immediately raced, and his tired spirits lifted somewhat.
So cute! I want to snuggle up to them and give them a couple of kisses!
"Hehe, this way you're more like beasts your age. Eldest son, you play with your brothers, Daddy's off!" The First Qilin winked and disappeared in a flash after putting down the Four-Faced Beast. He clearly wanted to give them some alone time; he'd gone to great lengths.
