Rich and calm divine beast gong X truly poor, gentle, virtuous wife shou (mistake!)
Qin Nan: "Boss, why are you hanging white cloth for the opening?"
Boss: "Oh, I forgot to ...
Although we didn't find the Mirage Beast on this trip, since we're already here, we should still visit the Bai Ze clan.
Qin Nan had been filled with curiosity and exploration, but he only started to feel nervous when the two landed and, following the mountain path, could see the tribal houses in the distance.
But Qin Nan didn't realize why he was so nervous.
Bai Hao: "I don't remember having parents. I was raised by my clan chief grandfather and uncles and aunts from my clan. They all took good care of me. I'll take you to meet them."
Bai Hao led Qin Nan by the hand and walked slowly. He knew Qin Nan was slow to react and guessed that he hadn't thought it through yet, so he gave him time.
Qin Nan listened to his words and nodded. This was where Bai Hao grew up. Unlike when he and Bai Hao grew up together, he was not alone. Here, many people accompanied him as he grew up.
He really wanted to see his grandfather, the clan chief; he was sure he'd find out something there...
Chieftain?
Raise them?!
Uncle and Aunt?
Qin Nan suddenly stopped and stared at Bai Hao in astonishment.
No, wait!
Bai Hao wants to introduce him to his parents!
Bai Hao looked at Qin Nan, who had finally come to his senses, and smiled at him.
Qin Nan swallowed hard. No wonder he felt nervous when he arrived. He really hadn't thought about this matter; he was only preoccupied with the questions in his mind.
However, there's no escaping this, and he won't try to avoid it.
Qin Nan took a deep breath to calm himself down. As he got closer to the village, he looked up and his eyes widened. The sight before him made him forget his nervousness.
The village of the Bai Ze clan has a very unique architectural style. The first building is a traditional Chinese house, and the next one is a small Western-style building. There are not only well-constructed adobe houses, but also fancy postmodern buildings.
The entire village is incredibly diverse, allowing Qin Nan to see the different architectural styles from various regions all at once.
Bai Hao: "The Bai Ze clan was the first to enter the human world and adapted the best because they brought back different things to their clan due to the different regions they chose."
Generally, apart from the elders like the clan leader who don't travel far, all the other adult beasts in the clan are away, and most of these houses are empty because they've all been summoned back due to matters in the Netherworld.
Qin Nan snapped out of his shock, nodded, and before he could speak, a roar suddenly came from the village.
"Bai Yusheng!"
Qin Nan and Bai Hao looked over at the sound and saw a boy who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old scrambling out of a modern villa.
She looked up and was stunned when she saw someone coming. When she saw that it was Bai Hao, her originally mournful expression instantly turned from gloomy to sunny.
Bai Yusheng: "Brother! Brother Bai Hao! Help! My mother is murdering me! Murdering me!"
Bai Yusheng ran over quickly while shouting, hiding behind Bai Haoge and Qin Nan. He saw Qin Nan, but the situation was urgent, and there was no time to ask questions; saving lives was the priority.
Qin Nan looked down at Bai Yusheng, then looked up again. A woman dressed in a moon-white fringed cheongsam, with her long hair tied up with a jade hairpin and a dignified and elegant appearance, walked out angrily, holding a rolling pin as thick as an arm.
Perhaps because of the low slit and the high heels, her stride was limited, but her pace was fast enough.
She walked to the road, looking left and right to see where her unfilial son was running off to, and then turned her head and saw Bai Hao leading a man she had never seen before, while her silly son was hiding dejectedly behind them.
Bai Hao greeted her with a smile: "Aunt Xin, it's been a long time."
Upon hearing this, Qin Nan suddenly remembered that he had come to see his elders, so he obediently nodded and greeted her, "Hello, Aunt Xin."
Bai Xin nodded in surprise, her gaze fixed on Qin Nan. She couldn't find out anything about Qin Nan because she was too surprised to remember Bai Yusheng.
Bai Xin: "Xiao Hao, is this... your partner?"
Bai Hao: "Yes, his name is Qin Nan, the Nan of nan tree."
Bai Xin: "Oh, Nan Nan! Hello, my name is Bai Xin. You can call me the same way Xiao Hao does. It's your first time here, so don't be nervous. I can't say anything else, but our Bai Ze clan is the gentlest of beasts!"
Oh, right, Aunt Xin just made some pastries. You're definitely going to the clan leader's, so I won't invite you in. I'll just serve you some! Wait for Aunt Xin a bit!
After listening to Bai Hao's introduction, Bai Xin casually threw down the rolling pin in her hand, strode forward, took Qin Nan's hand and warmly comforted her. Then, she suddenly remembered that she had made some food to entertain Qin Nan, and without waiting for Qin Nan's reply, she hurriedly went back into the house to pack some snacks for Qin Nan.
Bai Yusheng stared in disbelief as he vanished completely from his own mother's eyes. He looked up at Qin Nan with curiosity and surprise, then looked down at Qin Nan and Bai Hao's intertwined hands, and suddenly stood up.
Bai Yusheng: "Hello, Brother Qin Nan!"
Bai Hao introduced Qin Nan: "This is Aunt Xin's son, Bai Yusheng."
Qin Nan smiled and nodded: "Hello, Yusheng!"
Bai Yusheng chuckled and raised his hand to straighten his clothes, which had been askew.
Bai Hao: "Is something happening in the clan today? I haven't seen anyone on the road."
Bai Yusheng shook his head: "No, it's just because I'm staying home! Brother, wait a minute."
After Bai Yusheng finished speaking, he walked up to the two of them and put his hands on his hips.
Bai Yusheng: "Brother Bai Hao has brought his partner back! He's a very gentle and handsome older brother! Come out and see!"
Qin Nan was startled by Bai Yusheng's sudden loud voice. Before she could recover, she saw doors opening one after another in the village, and in the blink of an eye, a group of people squeezed out.
Before he could react, Bai Hao, whom he was holding hands with, had already been pushed aside with disdain, while Qin Nan was surrounded by a group of aunties dressed in various styles, who greeted him very enthusiastically.
Bai Hao stood in the corner looking rather forlorn, but dared not say anything. If it were Bai Yusheng or his peers, he could beat them up, but the aunties in the clan... well, he couldn't afford to offend them!
Before Qin Nan could even get to know everyone, a group of aunties took her to Bai Xin's house, saying that there was no rush to see the clan leader, and they should have some food and chat first.
Not only Bai Hao was left behind, but also a group of kids and their dad.
Facing the resentful gazes cast upon him by his uncles, Bai Hao betrayed Bai Yusheng without hesitation.
Bai Hao: "I wanted to do it quietly, but he insisted on shouting."
Bai Yusheng looked at Bai Hao in disbelief.
The men who had been abandoned by their wives all turned to Bai Yusheng. The little brat was so frightened that his legs went weak. He let out a howl and clung to Bai Hao, determined to live or die together.
"Pfft, hahaha, silly Yusheng, who told you to shout so loudly!"
"Brother Bai Hao, is that really your partner? He looks human?"
"Yeah, yeah, Brother Bai Hao, it's so strange, I don't think I know anything about that brother, sigh? I really don't know!"
"Bai Ziyan, what nonsense are you talking about? Is there anything Bai Ze doesn't know?"
"You're talking nonsense! If you don't believe me, try using your divine power yourself!"
"Huh? Wait, wait, wait? Something's not right! What's going on? My innate divine power is malfunctioning?"
The cubs surrounded Bai Hao, chattering away, but what they said was also heard by the adult beasts nearby. With a thought, they used their divine power, and then looked at each other in surprise.
Bai Hao smiled helplessly: "Well, that's a long story."
