As soon as Qin Nan arrived at the front yard with Xuan Yu and Teng Xue, they saw He Yan carrying an eight or nine-year-old boy like a chick. The boy looked a little older than Pi Yuan and about the same age as Chi Wei. He was thin, but full of energy and had a loud voice.

"Let me go! I don't want to be here! I want to find my dad! I'm not coming to this big fox's place! Put me down! You little rascal, or I'll tell my dad to beat you up!"

"I helped you yesterday, and not only did you not pay me back, you're repaying kindness with enmity! Shameless! Despicable! Bullying a child! Help! Someone's hitting a child! You owe a child money and aren't paying it back!"

"What a pathetic sight!" Tengxue glared disdainfully at Tao Xiaolu, who was flailing his arms and wailing. "You're a disgrace to animals!"

Tao Xiaolu, who had been howling with his eyes closed, opened his eyes upon hearing the familiar voices. Seeing Xuan Yu and Teng Xue, he calmed down and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Xuan Yu: "Why are you with Brother Yan? Where's Uncle Tao?"

Tao Xiaolu said with a long face, "My dad ran away. He said he wanted me to stay with Big Fox and he would take me away after he finished his business."

Tengxue was extremely disgusted and turned back to the backyard. This little brat who never grew up was better off studying clothing styles than wasting her time here. Recently, she found some old clothing patterns from Qin Nan's grandmother and was engrossed in studying them.

Seeing that Tao Xiaolu was behaving himself, He Yan threw him on the ground, picked at his ear, and realized that he had been really annoyed by him the whole way, taking advantage of his inability to speak.

This little brat is a complete chatterbox, and a total money-grubber, even more so than Bai Hao! He was just helping out with a small favor, and he kept shouting for money all the way. He Yan thought about silencing Tao Xiaolu, but since divine beasts can communicate with each other, he figured it was better to let him talk.

"Hey, can't you be gentler? Just because you're thick-skinned doesn't mean you can throw me like that! I'm still your creditor! Your attitude is very problematic!" Tao Xiaolu cursed as he dusted himself off and stood up. "Why wasn't this your attitude yesterday when you asked for my help? You repay kindness with enmity! You turn your back on me! You cross the river and burn the bridge! You use me and then discard me! You kill the donkey after the millstone is done with it! You put the dog away after the rabbit is dead! You put the bow away after the birds are all gone!"

Qin Nan chuckled. This little kid is so funny. Xuan Yu couldn't help but cover her face and sigh. Tao Xiaolu really doesn't look like a ferocious beast at all.

There is no difference between mythical beasts and ferocious beasts, nor is it the kind of classification humans use to say that ferocious beasts are unlucky. It's just that all things need balance, with mutual generation and mutual restraint, which is why they are classified into different categories.

The classification of mythical beasts into ferocious beasts is generally based on their destructive power. Taotie's destructive power is absolutely top-notch. It can eat anything and has no dietary restrictions. It is also quite wild when fighting, so it is definitely the number one ferocious beast. Qiongqi is just as good as Taotie.

He Yan couldn't help but raise his hand and slap Tao Xiaolu on the head. Tao Xiaolu sniffed aggrievedly, her eyes slightly red, and continued to mutter to herself.

Xuan Yu couldn't stand it anymore, so she went up and patted him on the shoulder, then pointed to the Pixiu statue in the yard.

Tao Xiaolu looked over in confusion, but the moment he saw the Pixiu statue, his unhappiness vanished, and his little face lit up with excitement. Qin Nan seemed to see glittering gold coins in his eyes.

Tao Xiaolu shook Xuan Yu incredulously: "Pi Xiaoyuan is here too, isn't she?!"

Xuan Yu nodded helplessly. He only wanted to ease Tao Xiaolu's emotions, but he didn't expect to go too far.

In Tao Xiaolu's eyes, Pi Yuan was a treasure trove and a lucky cat! Every time he met it, he wished he could tie it up and take it back to his den to hide it, so that it could make money every day! It was really like a hungry wolf seeing a little white rabbit. Moreover, Pi Yuan was honest and simple, unlike other Pi Xiu, which were more irritable and would rather take action than talk.

Qin Nan suddenly felt that the little mythical beasts were quite fun to be around. Chi Wei was the leader of the kids, smart and responsible; Pi Yuan was honest and gentle; Xuan Yu was well-behaved and steady; and Teng Xue was straightforward, generous, domineering yet cute.

Tao Xiaolu seems to be the kind of person who is shrewd and calculating, eloquent and easy to get along with, with his own distinct personality and temper.

However, Qin Nan always felt that the reason these children got along so well was because Bai Hao was there. After all, last night, before Chi Wei left, he heard that Tao Xiaolu was coming today, and he seemed to be itching to get things done.

Qin Nan called out to everyone, "Don't just stand there, let's go inside and talk!"

Tao Xiaolu was still staring at the Pixiu statue with shining eyes. Xuan Yu struggled to drag him into the house. He Yan didn't want to pay any attention to the little brat. He nodded to Qin Nan and followed him into the house to sit down.

At the same time, in Murong Xue's villa, Murong Xue's parents were being coaxed by Chi Wei and Pi Yuan, their laughter making Murong Xue wonder if she was not their biological child.

As they were talking and laughing, Pi Yuan couldn't help but shiver. Then, he inadvertently connected with the Pixiu statue in the Qin family mansion. The moment he saw Tao Xiaolu, Pi Yuan almost burst into tears. Chi Wei used his mind to communicate with Pi Yuan to reassure him that if Tao Xiaolu dared to lay a hand on him, he would beat him until he called him "Dad"!

Tao Xiaolu went inside, separating himself from the Pixiu statue. He turned his head and saw Qin Nan pouring water. He hadn't noticed her before, but he saw her now.

Just then, Tao Xiaolu twitched her nose. She wasn't mistaken; Qin Nan smelled like Bai Ze! And it seemed to be the scent of the great fox Bai Hao. Tao Xiaolu blinked, finding it hard to believe that the human in front of her was the mate chosen by the great fox.

Tao Xiaolu tilted her head and rested it on Xuan Yu's shoulder, asking softly, "Who is he? Why does he smell like a big fox?"

Xuan Yu glanced at Qin Nan, then turned and replied seriously, "He is Brother Anan, and he belongs to Brother Bai. You are not allowed to be rude to Brother Anan, or we will all beat you up!"

Tao Xiaolu stared speechlessly at Xuan Yu, who was clenching her little fists in a particularly adorable manner, while putting on what she thought was a fierce and serious face.

If it were Chi Wei who said this and made this gesture, he might care, but not Xuan Yu. The cute little guy isn't suited for violent things.

Of course, given Qin Nan's resemblance to Bai Hao, he wouldn't be rude. After all, a wise person knows when to yield, and he would only provoke someone Bai Hao was protecting if he were courting death.

Qin Nan smiled as she watched the two little ones whispering to each other, poured them some water, and grabbed a plate of dried meat snacks she had bought earlier.

Tao Xiaolu's eyes lit up. He tore open a packet of beef jerky, ate it in no time, and then moved on to the next packet.

Xuan Yu found it extremely embarrassing. Tao Xiaolu looked like he hadn't eaten for days, his mouth stuffed full, his cheeks bulging out, moving around like a hamster.

Qin Nan was also taken aback. How long had this child been starved? Seeing the snacks that were quickly devoured, she couldn't help but say, "Why don't you come with me to the backyard? Besides dried meat, there are some pastries and bread. You can eat more."

Tao Xiaolu, chewing on his food, looked up at Qin Nan with deep emotion, then immediately let go of Xuan Yu, ran over, took Qin Nan's hand, and nodded vigorously.

Last night there was supposed to be a big meal, but He Yan took it away. He was busy all night and didn't even provide food or pay me. Qin Nan's initiative to give me food is really amazing!
