The Great Bai Ze

“Bein’ mythical, like a boss.”

News Flash

Story of Bai Ze

He is the great―supposedly mythical―Beast Bai Ze. Technically, his appearance is a giant ox with goat horns and a lion’s mane, three eyes on head and more on his body. Though somehow there are people who believed that Bai Ze was had an old man’s face with a goat’s body.

The last time he appeared was more than four centuries ago. But there’s an association that calls themselves as China’s Legendary Monster Expert, who revives this ancient creature. You know, to interview.

On a quiet night, China’s Legendary Monster Expert was praying with 13 light candles and various offerings at their office, hope for this time their prayers will be heard by The Greatest Bai Ze.

The atmosphere was very heavy, and when the great beast Bai Ze showed up at their office door, they knew their prayers had been answered. As their graphic designer passed out from sheer shock, Bai Ze bellowed: “You humans look weird, just as I remembered,” rather rudely seeing himself into the conference room. As to the appearance of him, they could only really agree on his color: white. Yeah, he doesn’t look like as what they had imagined: Giant ox with a lot of eyes on his body. He is totally a human, a human form! Chinese facial together with ghostly pale skin and black short-hair, bloodshot eyes that clashed with the red markings at the corners. White ancient China robe and red earrings on his right ear... and... don’t forget about that so-looked-like super fluffy scarf on his head. He is slim and tall, perhaps 185 centimeters? Wait, he has an eye mark on his forehead. just a mark, maybe some kind of tattoo? It’s red coloured, covered by his bangs.

Hey, the members of China’s Legendary Monster Expert was freezed. They never knew that the great beast Bai Ze is will be this good-looking. Oh my, the beast seemed to have some sort of quantum field enabling him to distort perception or, as he put it, “bein’ mythical, like a boss.”

Normally shying away from interviews, the last time this creature appeared was more than four centuries ago when the Yellow Emperor was on a tour to inspect his territory. On his way to the Eastern Sea, he found Bai Ze (in his beast form) chilling on the beach, as was his want. In a good mood, Bai Ze told the stunned emperor, in human tongue, of a large underground population of monsters and ghosts in his land. Upon hearing this precious information, the Yellow Emperor took notes on everything the beast said (a total of 1,520 creatures were mentioned), charting a guide to a previously uncharted realm of mythical creatures. Unfortunately, these notes have been lost to time (much to the creature’s chagrin), leaving behind only legend and Bai Ze’s famous reputation as a royal guard against evil.

One of the members asked: “Why did you go up to the Yellow Emperor in the first place? Did you have a cloying urge to save humanity from these beasts?”

Bai Ze furrowed his brow and answered, “What? No. I was bored. Have you ever sat on a beach in ancient China? It’s dull. No cabanas or cocktails. Also, none of the other monsters speak to me. They all think I’m a terrible gossip.”

When they asked what kind of friends Bai Ze does have, he happily explained some of the strangest mythical creatures they had ever heard. “Some of them are evil and some of them are just odd. Occasionally, you can even find some good ones, like me. Make sure you print that,” said him, motioning a pen in the air. Somehow, he seemed has strange charisma, but still, he looks... beautiful.

According to the great Bai Ze, many of these creatures are a bit on the dark side, such as Qiong Qi (穷奇), who resembles a tiger but with wings and who barks like a dog. This beast is extremely intelligent and likes to listen to a good argument, like a flying, terrifying Anderson Cooper. Unlike Anderson Cooper, Qiong Qi will eat the more sensible of the two. Whenever it encounters honest and virtuous people, it bites off their noses. To further encourage evil deeds, Qiong Qi treats vicious people with great respect by offering them small animal prey as tribute.

Of course, not all of these mythical creatures are malicious. Jiao Ren (鲛人), Chinese mermaids, live in the south and east seas. These peaceful souls produce the finest waterproof silk and trade with people on the land. If you ever perform a kind deed for one of these polite and gracious creatures, it will cry tears of pearls for you.

The great Bai Ze is actually pretty intelligent. After spend some hours with him, they’re all knew, that behind his extremely intimidating and condescending personality, Bai Ze is surprisingly calming, and quite relaxed most of the time as he occasionally skips out on things he finds boring. He also seemed the kind of person who avoids conflict, he often relented rather than imposed his will. He’s courageous.

“It’s my new phone, the seller said this is the newest and very sophisticated type. But I don’t understand yet how to use it. Guys, you can follow my instagram account, the username is――hey, what?” He stopped talking, stared innocently at the members of China’s Legendary Monster Expert, who stare at him with weird gaze. He sighed as put his iPhone into his bag, like he was understood the meaning of their gaze.

Yeah, he’s courageous. He’s got a sense of humor, but he acts so dumb sometimes.

“Maybe I’ll have them (his beastfriends) drop by someday. This has been fun,” said Bai Ze.

When China’s Legendary Monster Expert asked about what will he doing or planning after these interview, a mischievous smile appeared upon his countenance. He got up from his seat, pulled a Zheshan that was reached its popularity during the Ming Dynasty between the years of 1368 and 1644 (a beautiful, graceful folding fan they had ever seen) out of his bag and saying, “I will just wandering alone.”

All of them got freezed.

Ugh, actually, all the members of China’s Legendary Monster Expert was quite worried about him. That is to say, what will people say when they see someone with those super old clothes and atribute in this Millennials Generation?! Wǒde tiān na.


Bai Ze, like he was understood what goes through in their minds, splay his Zheshan and covered his mouth with those alluring fan. They can’t saw it, but they’re sure that Bai Ze was giggled. It was seen from his bloodshot eyes that seemed to smile as well.


“I’m immortal, not stupid,” said he, clomping his way out of China’s Legendary Monster Expert office, leaving all of the stunned members.


So, that was not the ending. That was the beginning of Bai Ze’s trip. From this second onward, if you meet a weird person dressed in ancient China, wearing a (super fluffy) scarf on his head, carrying an iPhone and Zheshan in his hands, it must be The Greatest Beast Bai Ze (with his human form). If you see or meet him, don’t run! He may bring a good luck to you, zhù nǐ hǎo yùn!
