There is a beast: (Hundred Explanations)

Chapter 252 Lake

Upon hearing this, the cotton boll covered its head with its two paws.

"Ah—this?"

Her little brain had gone blank; she seemed to have taken things too lightly...

I'm so stupid, really.

I only knew that none of the Mengji clan could breathe underwater, so after getting the Shatang fruit, I immediately told them to go out and play. I had no idea that the Pixiu clan could actually...

Tianlu waved its claws in front of Miantao's eyes, "Miantao? Miantao!"

Seeing that Mian Tao's eyes were glazed over, he asked in confusion.

"Huh, huh?" Cotton Peach shook her head and patted her little face. "Cough cough! Of course I know you can breathe underwater!"

She forced herself to remain calm, "I prepared this for that stinky Qilin, yes, for him!"

The Four-Faced Beast gave a strange look. "Emmm...I can actually do that too?"

As a Qilin, wouldn't playing in the water be like child's play for him?

The main reason I don't usually go swimming is... well, I can't beat the underwater creatures.

The Four Impossibles perfectly illustrate what a vase is.

The Four-Faced Beast, possessing great fortune, doesn't really need much strength. Anyone with a bit of power could just go up and give it a good whack.

You'd have to kneel down and beg the four unrelated people to send you something.

Otherwise, you'll be punished by heaven.

"What the heck???" Cotton boll exploded instantly upon hearing this.

Huh? I came here to show off my new gadget, and now I've become the clown?

The clown is me!

Cotton Peach's face turned bright red, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"I...I..." She was so embarrassed that she could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of her toes.

"Ahem, my daughter doesn't know either. Anyway, we'll go play in the sea, which will be more convenient. Don't you think so?" Shan Tao coughed twice, trying to divert the beasts' attention.

Sure enough, Tianlu's attention immediately shifted to 'playing'.

Or perhaps, Tianlu simply doesn't pay much attention to these minor or major embarrassments.

"Hey? Shall we go play in the sea? Okay, okay!" Tianlu said excitedly.

When I asked where we were going before, I forgot about the crabapple that Mian Tao brought up. Now that I know we're going to the sea, I can't stop smiling.

Bixie covered his forehead, thinking to himself, "This idiot! Everyone says that cotton bolls are crabapple fruits, and their function is to breathe underwater. Can't he even guess that?"

Although he is impatient like his brother, the good thing is that he can use his brain.

Otherwise, how could I have protected this silly younger brother in ancient times?

Bixie smiled slightly, as if he had thought of something to be happy about.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Tianlu and Bixie climbed onto the back of the Four-Unlikes and called out to Miantao and Shantao.

"You...are you planning to fly over there?" Cotton Peach asked, tilting her head.

Not to mention Tianlu, even the Four Unlikes were confused by what they were told.

"If we don't fly there, are we supposed to walk?" the Four-Faced Beast asked, frowning.

Along the way, you're bound to encounter other beasts or humans.

Flying there would probably be fewer problems; if we walked there, who knows what unexpected things might happen.

"Oh dear, oh dear, how could that be!"

Cotton Boll extended a claw-like finger and waved it, saying, "While you were healing, I discovered quite a few interesting things!"

Seeing that she could finally get some revenge, Miantao said smugly, "I found a small lake in that direction. It's amazing. My mother and I went in to play there before."

"A lake?" Tianlu asked in confusion. "What lake? Are there any lakes around here? I don't know any."

He immediately threw out a set of three questions.

He and Bixie went out to play every day before they were struck by lightning, so why didn't they see it?

"I don't know," Cotton Boll shook her head. "It seems to have just appeared recently. Oh well, let's go take a look!"

"There's a passage in that lake that seems to be able to teleport us to the sea!"

“My mother and I surfaced in the sea before,” Miantao said.

This statement puzzled the Four-Faced Beast. It was one thing to be teleported so far, but the world was full of wonders.

But how did the little spot get back? The sea is quite far from here.

It seemed that it had noticed the confusion in the Four-Faced Beast.

"Don't worry, once you get through, you can definitely come back. That passage seems to always be there!" Cotton Peach grinned.

After hearing this, the Four-Faced Beast nodded slightly, "So that's how it is."

Now that things were clear, the Four-Faced Beast and Mountain Peach moved forward at a leisurely pace, while the three beasts, Tianlu, ran quickly toward the lake while playfully fighting.

"You know, Bai Jie is really pitiful. He just ate a mushroom, took a nap, and never came back," Shan Tao sighed, glancing at the four-legged creature beside her.

"...The golden thread won't come back." Four-Faced Beast said with a dark face.

Yamamoto realized at this moment that she had said the wrong thing.

"Pah, pah, pah, it's just that he hasn't woken up for so long. Fortunately, Bai Jie's ability to enter dreams is strong, and the nutrients absorbed in dreams can be applied to reality." Shan Tao spat a few times.

"You said there's a group of immortals, right? They have many magical artifacts; maybe they can wake up Bai Jie?"

The four-legged creature paused in its steps.

Then he started walking around again, saying, "Jin Xian said, don't go near those gods, they're not good people."

As he said this, he remembered the old hermit he had met before, who seemed quite nice.

He shook his head: "Anyway, Jin Xian is right!"

Looking at the strange creature's appearance, Shan Tao's mouth twitched.

"Hey! Stinky Qilin, Daddy, what are you doing? Come here right now!" Cotton Peach waved her paws.

Upon hearing this, Sibuxiang and Shantao stopped chatting and ran over.

A huge lake appeared on the flat ground.

The area around the lake was covered in ice and snow.

Tianlu and Bixie kept paddling in the water, seemingly trying to see if there were any fish or anything in it.

"Wow, that's amazing! This lake isn't frozen!" Yamamoto exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing Shan Tao's words, Tian Lu realized, "Oh right, it didn't freeze!"

"Hmph, of course! And this water isn't cold at all, it's actually quite warm!" Cotton Peach jumped into the water with a splash.

Because she had already eaten the crabapple, she was now able to breathe underwater.

"Huh? Yes, yeah!" Tianlu clapped his hands together, his reaction time was obviously ridiculously long.

Logically speaking, Tianlu should have noticed it when he scratched with his claws, but he only realized it after Miantao finished speaking.

Bixie patted Tianlu's head. "Alright, aren't we going to play? Let's go in the water."

The two Pixiu jumped into the lake with a splash.

The four creatures gracefully entered the water.

After the beasts swam around in the water for a while, everyone realized that something was wrong.

"Where is Shantao (Father)?"

They looked at each other and then simultaneously popped their heads out of the water.

On the shore, Shan Tao stood there motionless, and if you looked closely, he was even trembling a little.

"Father, what are you doing? Come down quickly!" Miantao asked in confusion.
