Fabulous Beasts
Episode 8
Sibuxiang, what are you doing so early in the morning?
A very talented mythical beast is coming today.
We need to give her a warm welcome.
Very talented?
More talented than I am?
She's not a normal mythical beast.
She's got a holy and beautiful appearance
and the auspicious power to bring wealth.
She's worshipped by all beings.
That's so me.
She should be arriving soon.
Pipi,
go greet her at the door.
Okay.
Where is she?
Hi...
Hello...
Excuse me.
Is this Deerman's?
Sibuxiang.
Where is the rat poison?
Fabulous Beasts
My name is Jewel-Spitting Mongoose.
I'm an ancient mythical beast with the power to spit jewels.
As long as there is a request,
I can spit out priceless jewels
to help people through difficult times.
However, as time went by,
the world changed rapidly.
Master...
You don't need to spit jewels anymore.
Go and find who you are.
People no longer believe in my existence,
nor do they need my help.
That's strange.
Who would refuse a mythical beast that brings wealth?
I have no idea.
And I've even learned various methods
to keep up with the times.
Hello.
There's an amazing financing jewel
with a 100% potential for appreciation.
Hello?
Hello.
Congratulations! You've won the grand prize of 999 gold jewels.
Big sale!
All the legendary jewels are free.
Stop yelling!
Hi there,
have you heard of Cintamani?
No wonder no one believed you.
Without people's requests,
I can no longer spit jewels.
I no longer have a reason to live as a mythical beast.
Pipi, what do you think?
Can you actually spit jewels?
Ye...
Yes.
That's awesome!
I love eating jewels.
What...
What a passionate boy.
Can you spit one for me then?
This feeling...
This feeling is...
I don't need it.
All this time...
Stop yelling.
No.
Get out of my way.
I've been dispensable.
No.
I'm not interested.
But
he needs me so much.
Could this be
the moment when a sacred and beautiful treasure comes to life?
Here.
Don't you think it's gross?
Yum-yum.
Do you have any more?
Yes.
You can eat as many as you want.

Which of the following is spit by Jewel-Spitting Mongoose?
Jewel.
Tennis Ball.

That's incorrect.
You're so self-absorbed.
Don't choose yourself without thinking.
The answer is obviously the jewel.

"and carries a very positive meaning.
"It is said to be the natural enemy of snakes
