After lunch, Meng Zhang was going to the underworld. Since Zhu Jiuyin had mentioned it, Bai Hao thought that instead of looking for an opportunity to go, he might as well go there now.

Qin Nan invited Xi Rou and the others to stay at the Qin residence.

When they were around Chen Tan and Jie Chong, the little ones became less reserved and gathered together to play in the backyard.

Chi Wei forbade Qiong Ruiheng from getting any closer to Chi Ran and handed her over to Teng Xue to lead.

Qiong Ruiheng was puzzled and speechless, but thinking about it, if he had a younger sister, she would probably be no different from Chi Wei.

Tao Xiaolu still tries to stick with Pi Yuan as much as possible, hoping to get some of the good fortune. The best example is Murong Xue, who has great luck with money because she is with Pi Sheng every day.

陶小禄真的爱财，为了财，脸根本不重要，即使皮垣已经有点握拳想揍他，他也厚脸皮蹭蹭。

Chen Tan sat on the sofa, looking at the things Bai Hao had given her, and decided to examine them first.

This wasn't Jie Chong's first time in the human world, so he wasn't particularly curious and just sat there watching TV.

Qin Nan and Xi Rou were sitting in the corridor in the front yard.

Golden leaves fluttered down, landing in the courtyard and in the pond.

The carp in the pond are thriving. I don't know how Chi Wei and the others feed them; they all look like pigs, almost unrecognizable as fish.

So much so that when Xi Rou asked Qin Nan if these fish were raised specifically to eat meat, Qin Nan was speechless. In the end, he could only bite the bullet and say that Bai Hao liked them because they were a little chubby and cute.

Although Qin Nan felt bad for Bai Hao and had been unfairly blamed, she felt at ease because even if Bai Hao were present, he wouldn't have refuted her words.

Xi Rou paused for a moment, then sighed that each beast indeed had a different aesthetic sense.

Qin Nan couldn't help but laugh.

The two hadn't been talking for long when there was a knock on the door. They turned around and saw Bi Shen, dressed impeccably in a formal suit, and Li You, dressed casually and nonchalantly.

Tanyu is no longer bald. Before, it was because he had been digging underground for a long time, and his hair was a nuisance due to the dust and dirt. Now that his living environment is better, his hair has grown longer and he can tie it into a tuft at the back of his head.

“Li You, Bi Shen.”

Qin Nan stood up and waved to the two of them.

"Hey, Qin Nan! Long time no see, you're finally awake!"

Tanyu strode over and gave her a warm hug.

Bi Shen followed unhurriedly, first nodding to Xi Rou in greeting, and then looking at Qin Nan.

"Nice to meet you."

"Ah, hello. Thank you for taking care of the babies."

"No need to be so polite, it's just my duty."

For some reason, Qin Nan would unconsciously become polite every time she talked to Bi Shen, as if she was influenced by his aura.

"Lord Water Dragon is here too. Shall you stay in the human world? Or perhaps stay a few more days to enjoy the scenery?"

Xi Rou shook her head slightly, "You'll probably be going back soon. It seems you're adapting very well to the human world."

Li You nodded proudly, "Of course! Next time I go back to bring a gift for Lord Fire Dragon, I'll bring one for you too!"

Xi Rou smiled and agreed, "Okay, it's a pity I can't stay in the human world for too long, otherwise I would also like to travel around."

"Uh, could it be that the Ancestral Dragon... isn't in the Mountain and Sea Realm? You can't leave?"

Xi Rou helplessly spread her hands, with a hint of resentment, "I was called away by Mu Qiu. When I ask him to do some official business, he can take his time, but as soon as Mu Qiu calls him, he disappears. If he's not there, I can't be there either."

Li You clicked her tongue and shook her head; being a leader wasn't easy.

As the group chatted, Bai Hao suddenly appeared. He had already informed Di Ting about Zhu Jiuyin's prophecy. Meng Zhang's discussions with the Underworld were too troublesome, and he didn't know when they would finish. Feeling bored, Bai Hao returned first.

When they saw Bai Hao return, Bi Shen and Li You's smiles froze. Even Bi Shen, who was usually very composed, couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

Bi Shen wasn't an irresponsible beast, but Li You was a friend to him, and he never expected something like this to happen.

Although he has maintained a calm demeanor so far, it does not mean that he is truly composed. After all, he clearly remembers everything that happened that night, and he was both awake and unable to control himself.

What frustrated him most was that the medicine Bai Hao used wouldn't work if he had absolutely no feelings for Li You; it would only become more and more potent if there was any sign of interest.

Similarly, Tanuki Yu is also like that.

That's why the two of them felt even more awkward, as if their secrets had been exposed.

But this feeling of attraction might just be a fleeting infatuation, or some other emotion, or they might not even realize it themselves, yet they've already developed feelings for each other.

Bai Hao gave them a really strong dose of medicine.

While discovering true feelings, one cannot avoid engaging in intimate and collaborative relationships.

It really does get things done in one step.

Bai Hao felt their gazes and looked back at them calmly.

Hmph, if you have time to ruin his plans, then keep busy!

Anyway, it was a destined romance.

Besides, Qin Nan is his partner, so whatever he does is perfectly legitimate and justified!

They actually called him a beast, so let Li You know what a beast in human clothing really means.

After that night, Li You slept soundly until almost evening. The fact that she didn't die in bed was because she was physically strong!

Li You's understanding of Bi Shen was indeed refreshed: enormous, terrifying! Enduring, frightening!

So much so that when Li You woke up, Bi Shen handed him water and touched his hand, and he trembled with fear.

Bi Shen coughed awkwardly. There was nothing he could do; he and Li You were not of the same kind, and their physical endurance and other aspects were not comparable. It wasn't that he was unrestrained; it was just that at that time, his instincts prevailed over his reason.

If it were now, he wouldn't do it; he could restrain himself.

But the shadow of Li You's trauma is hard to erase; she hasn't had any physical contact with Bi Shen since she woke up.

Xi Rou looked at Bi Shen and Li You's awkwardness with some curiosity, her light blue eyes flashing, and then she smiled knowingly.

As a dragon, she was quite familiar with this kind of thing, after all, dragons... are just like that by nature.

Suddenly remembering her relationship with Meng Zhang, Xi Rou's eyes flickered. She had waited and longed for so long, and finally, she had met Meng Zhang.

Although she chose to back down first, she didn't lose; it was Meng Zhang who softened first, and was moved by her feelings.

Meng Zhang could have refused to take Chi Ran in; he had many safe ways to send her back. But he stayed, waiting for Xi Rou to come to him.

Xi Rou was also proud. Although she took the initiative to see Meng Zhang, it was only for Chi Ran. After taking Chi Ran back, she turned around and left.

It was Meng Zhang who persuaded them to stay, and he led her and Chi Ran like a family of three as they strolled through the seaside market.

The market was bustling with activity, filled with a dazzling array of goods, people, and animals.

Later, Chi Ran's parents rushed back and took Chi Ran away, while Meng Zhang did not let go of Xi Rou's hand.

However, to Xi Rou's great anticipation, Meng Zhang took her to the beach, where they sat and watched the stars all night.

Xi Rou remained silent, but smiled politely until the sun rose and dappled sunlight spread across the sea.

Meng Zhang earnestly told Xi Rou that he had lost their bet, so he would accept his defeat.

Xi Rou was speechless.
