Qin Nan felt a warmth in his arms. The tiny Jiang Jiang had soft fur and delicate skin, and it felt wonderful to hold. He carefully hugged Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Jiang didn't speak. He couldn't see or hear anything. He just felt that he was in a strange embrace. However, this person had Bai Hao's scent all over him. He didn't resist and obediently rested his head on Qin Nan's neck and shoulder.
Qiong Ruiheng also smelled Bai Hao's scent on Qin Nan. He was a member of the Qiongqi clan, a notorious ferocious beast. He could be unruly in the face of other beasts, but he couldn't be like Bai Ze.
The Bai Ze clan seems to be favored by the heavens. Although they are not as fortunate as the Qilin, they have unique talents and great luck.
Because Qiongqi is a ferocious beast, due to its inherent nature and the lack of favor from Heaven, its fortune is very bad. Other beasts like them include Taotie, Taowu, and Hundun.
However, as long as the Taotie can control their appetite, their luck isn't too bad, since they are just gluttonous.
Chaos, like Jiang Jiang, as long as they don't encounter evil people or get used by contracts, their luck improves after choosing to live in seclusion.
Perhaps only Taotie and Qiongqi are truly unable to escape their fate, but this is not what they want, after all, their birth and existence are not things they can decide themselves.
However, after thinking about Taotie and his own family group, Qiong Ruiheng realized that things weren't so bad in comparison.
After all, Qiongqi has a brain, while Taotie is just a solid blockhead, the stupidest of the tribe, which is why it was beaten so badly by the auspicious beasts that it had almost nowhere to survive.
Anyway, Qiong Ruiheng had been warned by the adult beasts in his clan since he was a child that he must never provoke the Bai Ze clan. He could fight any other auspicious beasts, but he could not mess with the Bai Ze.
Qiong Ruiheng had questioned this before, but later he realized that there was another reason why they didn't fight with Bai Ze: the Bai Ze clan was too kind-hearted. No matter what kind of beast they faced, they were always peaceful and amiable, which made the beasts lose all interest in fighting.
Except for... Bai Hao.
Bai Hao is an anomaly among the Bai Ze clan. The only difference is that he is exceptionally good at fighting and has a bad temper. Although he is quite amiable when not provoked, once provoked, he can be beaten to death.
Qiong Ruiheng still remembered Tao Feng, the brother of the Taotie clan. It was said that he used to have a good relationship with Bai Hao. However, after Bai Hao treated him to a meal, he was bedridden for a long time and still avoids Bai Hao whenever he sees him.
Although I don't know exactly how Bai Hao treated him to the meal, the fact that he could injure a Taotie is truly terrifying!
Thinking this, Qiong Ruiheng obediently let Qin Nan lead him by the rope, after all, he was still just a cub and did not want to die!
Qin Nan held Jiang Jiang, actually worried that Qiong Ruiheng might bite him too, after all, he had really bitten Li You before, but Qiong Ruiheng didn't, he sat obediently on the ground.
Qiong Ruiheng looked back at Qin Nan's gaze, tilting his head to look at him.
The man Bai Hao has his eye on is really handsome!
It's a pity, though, that he was a good person!
Qiongqi feeds on good people and specifically helps evil people!
Of course, Qiong Ruiheng had never eaten it.
In fact, the Qiongqi tribe hasn't eaten humans for a long time. Due to communication with humans in the real world, more delicious food has expanded the Qiongqi tribe's diet.
By comparison, humans are the hardest to eat!
Even if they are good people!
Therefore, Qiong Ruiheng did not want to eat Qin Nan; he didn't want to, and he didn't dare to.
There are many human kingdoms in the Mountain and Sea Realm, but they are far inferior to the human world in the present world.
Qin Nan: "My name is Qin Nan, Nan as in nanmu (楠木). What's your name?"
Qiong Ruiheng came to his senses and paused for a moment: "Qiong Ruiheng, Rui with grass radical, Heng with jade stone radical."
Qin Nan: "It's a very rare surname. Rui means tender grass growing for the first time, full of vitality and hope. It also means a gentleman is like a jade pendant, possessing both virtue and talent. It's a very auspicious name."
Qiong Ruiheng looked at Qin Nan in surprise. This was the first time someone had analyzed his name so seriously. He had always thought it was a name his old man had chosen casually.
After all, his mother had said that back then, his old man had flipped through a human dictionary until his head was spinning, and he finally managed to piece together two words. He never expected that he would actually put so much effort into choosing them.
Qin Nan squatted down to be at eye level with Qiong Ruiheng: "Then, Xiao Rui, may I call you that?"
Qiong Ruiheng hesitated before replying, "...Yes, it's okay...What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Qin Nan: "Can we discuss something?"
Qiong Ruiheng: "What is it?"
Qin Nan: "I see you're uncomfortable being tied up, so I'll untie you, but you can't bite me!"
Qiong Ruiheng: "..."
Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't dare!
Seeing that Qiong Ruiheng did not respond, Qin Nan assumed that he disagreed and was thinking of giving up.
Although it was clear that this child was unusual, after all, he was unharmed despite so many dents being smashed into the wall, he still looked like a seven or eight-year-old child, about the same age as the children in the photos on his phone's screen saver.
The ropes binding him were almost digging into his flesh; although there were no visible marks, it looked gruesome.
However, Qin Nan also had a concern. After all, it was Li You who tied up Qiong Ruiheng. If he loosened the rope rashly and couldn't control him, would it cause trouble?
Qiong Ruiheng: "It's alright. This thing is like a tickle to me, it doesn't make any difference. Besides, this rope isn't an ordinary rope. You're human, you can't untie it!"
Qin Nan: "...Human?"
Qiong Ruiheng proudly raised his head: "That's right, you are human, but I am not human, I am a divine beast!"
Looking at Qiong Ruiheng, who was standing tall with his head held high and eyes sparkling, Qin Nan couldn't help but reach out and gently rub his little head.
