Qiong Ruiheng had never been treated so gently before. Although he was a cub, he was Qiongqi, and his reputation was bad. Everyone thought he was tough and could take a beating.

Even he himself felt that way. To this day, the warm hands gently massaging him felt so comfortable!

Even his mother had never been so gentle, after all, their clan were ferocious beasts, and there were no gentle beasts in the clan.

Qiong Ruiheng suddenly wondered if it was because the Bai Ze clan was very gentle and kind that the beasts in the clan did not fight with them.

However, the only two Bai Zes Qiong Ruiheng had ever encountered were Bai Hao and Bai Jue, who were different from Bai Hao in their coldness and fierce reputation.

Bai Jue is a very gentle and calm beast. For some reason, he doesn't like to touch other beasts. He keeps himself very well covered up and always wears a mask. In fact, Qiong Ruiheng has almost forgotten what Bai Jue looks like.

Qiong Ruiheng found it unbelievable that she would experience the tenderness she had never received from Bai Ze in a human.

What's even more unbelievable is that he can also be treated gently...

Jiang Jiang in Qin Nan's arms was very quiet, barely moving. Qin Nan held him steadily with one hand and gently stroked his fur with the other.

I must say, it feels amazing!

In the short time that followed, Bai Hao and Li You had already swiftly moved the unconscious villagers into the prepared barrier, in order to prevent them from getting in the way when they fought later.

Bai Hao watched Qin Nan getting along well with the two cubs, and his doubts about Qin Nan's identity deepened. Despite her amnesia, Qin Nan seemed to have a high level of acceptance of divine beasts, as if she were used to them.

Therefore, Bai Hao suspected that although Qin Nan was currently an ordinary human being, he was definitely not only human.

Or is he a human from the realm of mountains and seas?

Or perhaps, they are descendants of God?

Recalling Long Chengxiu's words, Bai Hao became even more confused. The son of the Wood Emperor, Su Kun, and that other one, the descendant of the Heavenly Maiden, Sang Wusheng, they should have no connection at all. Why would they become husband and wife in the human world for Qin Nan?

The source of everything should be in the Mountain and Sea Realm. After things are over here, we need to go back and investigate.

Li You: "Alright, all the living people have been taken away, and the fake things outside the temple have been tied up. We're just waiting for those two to come out so we can have a good fight!"

Li You patted the dust off her body, then pulled out a wet towel from somewhere to wipe her face and hands clean.

Bai Hao was alright, since he wasn't the one who drilled the hole; his clothes only had a little dust on them.

Qin Nan was inside the cave, looking up at the two people standing on the ground.

Seeing Qin Nan's gaze, Bai Hao jumped down, put one arm around Qin Nan's waist, and grabbed Qiong Ruiheng by the collar with the other, bringing them up.

Back on the ground, the villagers in front of the Moon Goddess Temple were gone. The temple gate was open, and the wedding procession outside was tied together with ropes. They seemed to be frozen in time, without any reaction.

The pits where people had been stolen on the ground, except for the one where Qin Nan was, have all been filled in. Although the underground passage is still open, at least the surface has returned to normal.

Seeing that everything was alright, Qin Nan wanted to ask Bai Hao, who claimed to be her lover, some questions, but before she could speak, a commotion came from the backyard of the temple.

Tanuki Yu: "Huh? Wait a minute! I think I forgot one!"

Bai Hao: "It's alright, he should go there to pay off his debts."

Tanuki Yu: "Huh? Where? It's not over yet? Isn't it enough to just deal with the temple keeper and the bride?"

Bai Hao didn't answer, and Li You rubbed her bald head in annoyance.

He really hates trouble, otherwise he wouldn't have become friends with Bai Hao, who also hates trouble. However, he won't shirk his responsibilities when there are things he has to do, but it can be very annoying!

Before Qin Nan could catch up with their conversation, the temple keeper who had taken Wan Niang away earlier came out of the backyard, disheveled and still pulling up his pants. His ugly appearance made Qin Nan angry.

However, thinking about Bai Hao's words, the temple keeper was already dead, and these outrageous things happened a long, long time ago in feudal society, which made him feel somewhat melancholy.

But such scum deserves to die no matter what!

Temple keeper: "Who are you people?!"

The temple keeper was surprised and frightened to see that the villagers in the front yard were nowhere to be found, and instead, several strangers were standing there.

Bai Hao: "Song Huiru, it's time to end this here."

The temple keeper's face stiffened, the lewd expression on his face disappeared, his eyes turned blood red, and his voice became a high-pitched woman's voice.

"Who are you? Are you a ghost messenger from the underworld?"

Bai Hao: "No, the thing you obtained should be returned to its rightful owner."

The temple keeper was taken aback upon hearing this, and then suddenly flew into a rage.

"Don't even think about it! Don't even think about it! I'll make them pay! I'll make them suffer a terrible death!! This isn't over yet! It's not over!!"

Before he could finish speaking, the temple keeper's body deflated like a punctured balloon. Qin Nan watched in horror as the temple keeper split open from the middle, revealing a emaciated, skin-and-bones body beneath the skin...

Qin Nan was shocked: "What, what is this?!"

Tanuki Yu exclaimed in disgust, "Ugh, that's disgusting!"

Qiong Ruiheng exclaimed excitedly, "It's a human skin suit! The outside shows what it looked like when it was alive, and the inside shows what it looked like when it died. Tsk tsk, it looks like it was tortured to death. There's not a single good spot on its body!"

Bai Hao: "..."

As they were talking, the sky suddenly changed color, and a thick, dark aura of resentment enveloped the entire temple. Qin Nan couldn't help but shiver from the cold, hugged Jiang Jiang tightly, and reached out to embrace Qiong Ruiheng.

Qiong Ruiheng felt the warmth emanating from Qin Nan and couldn't help but glance at him, then subtly moved a little closer.

Qin Nan assumed that Qiong Ruiheng also couldn't stand the cold atmosphere, so she reached out and picked up Qiong Ruiheng, moving her closer to the courtyard wall. She then squatted down and held the two children in her arms.

Having suffered a loss at Bai Hao's hands, Qin Nan knew that Bai Hao and Li You must be very powerful, so there was no need to worry about them.

But when Li You told him to take care of the baby, he assumed it was because the baby was too small and weak, so he needed to avoid danger. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hidden in the corner.

Qiong Ruiheng watched Qin Nan hug Jiang Jiang and himself like a mother hen protecting her chicks. After thinking for a moment, he still didn't say anything to explain. He wasn't afraid at all, and if the ropes were untied, he could easily twist off the temple keeper's head and use it as a ball.

But compared to fighting, he felt more comfortable nestled in Qin Nan's arms right now. He didn't want to move at all, and it would be even better if he could stay there a little longer!

Jiang Jiang lay motionless in Qin Nan's arms. He sensed an uncomfortable aura, but he wasn't afraid. He had no internal organs or heart. Although he had perception, it wasn't emotion, just pure feelings.

Qin Nan didn't notice the two kids' reactions; he was watching Bai Hao and Li You fight with the mutated temple keeper with mixed feelings.

The temple keeper was very strong and possessed resentment, making him somewhat troublesome. Bai Hao and Li You were not ferocious beasts; their bodies contained pure energy, so they should not be tainted by too much resentment.

Of course, they weren't afraid of just the temple keeper's resentment, but the temple keeper also had another kind of resentment on him, the resentment of a thousand-year-old vengeful ghost. In addition, the vengeful ghost had something to protect him, so it wouldn't be easy to deal with him in a short time.
