The following news consisted of everyday trivia, a few words from Chi Wei, or short videos taken by Tao Xiaolu.
There are also many photos taken by Tengxue, including scenery of the Qin residence and the old town, as well as photos of other family members.
Qin Fang seemed to have been kept behind by Qi Jingtai, and the kitchen became Bi Shen's forbidden area. According to Tao Xiaolu's video, the kitchen did indeed catch fire in the end. Xuan Yu quickly put out the fire, and Chi Wei put things back together.
The task of cooking ultimately fell to Pi Sheng and Qin Fang. Both of them knew a little bit about cooking, and the food they made based on recipes and videos was decent; at least they wouldn't blow up the kitchen.
Chi Wei and Pi Yuan were actually quite good at cooking, but Bi Shen firmly believed that the cubs should be raised by adult beasts and not raised into Nian beasts. Therefore, they, like Bi Shen, were isolated outside the kitchen door.
Looking at the lively scene at home, Qin Nan felt a longing to return home.
Bai Hao seemed to sense Qin Nan's emotions, hugged him from behind, and rested his chin on Qin Nan's shoulder.
Bai Hao: "If you don't want to go any further, I'll take you home."
A gentle voice sounded in her ear, and Qin Nan was startled. She raised her hand and touched Bai Hao's face.
Qin Nan: "Take me home after everything is over."
Bai Hao: "Hmm?"
Qin Nan remained silent and did not answer Bai Hao's question.
Tanuki Yu: "Hey you two, all lovey-dovey lovers! Can't you be a little more tolerant? I'm a huge beast right here, and I have cubs with me! Cubs! Can't you tone it down a little?!"
Seeing the two of them all sticky and affectionate, the neglected Li You hugged Jiang Jiang and roared angrily.
Qiong Ruiheng silently held Qin Nan's hand, keeping his head down and not participating.
Sure enough, the next moment, Bai Hao released Qin Nan, crossed his arms, and spoke coldly.
Bai Hao: "When I went to your place to navigate the maze, I casually set up some formations. They weren't particularly useful, but they could give you a piece of the sea."
Tanuki Yu: "?! ...
As a member of the Tanuki clan, Tanuki You's greatest love is digging holes underground and then using earth and stone to build all sorts of magnificent structures. It can be said that his current den is an underground world that he has built over more than a decade, but if water were to flow into it, it would be an endless torrent...
Tanyu swore he would die! Die on the spot! Without a moment's hesitation!
Li You was on the verge of tears. He had really made a terrible mistake in choosing friends! Bai Hao was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and he was poisonous! He was poisonous!
Qiong Ruiheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, having a brain is a good thing.
Qin Nan chuckled as she watched the two bickering. She then recorded a video on her phone and sent it to Chi Wei with a caption.
[Everything is fine. I've even met some new friends: Li You, Jiang Jiang, and Qiong Ruiheng. Next, I'm going to find a beast who's really good at swearing...]
Qin Nan received a reply shortly after sending the message.
Hello, this is Bi Shen. Chi Wei and the others went to the supermarket. You're probably referring to Shan You. If you see him, don't take it too seriously; getting angry is bad for your health.
Ah, yes, hello, thank you for looking after the house.
No need to be polite, please be careful on your trip.
【good.】
Qin Nan unconsciously followed Bi Shen's tone and ended the conversation very politely.
Qiong Ruiheng peeked out with her little head.
Qiong Ruiheng: "Brother Anan, have you seen Chi Wei and the others?"
Qin Nan: "Yes, they're at my house."
Qiong Ruiheng: "Brother Anan, after you're done with your business, can I come to your house too?"
Qin Nan paused, then looked up at Li You.
Li You: "Go! I'm going too. I need to talk to Pi Sheng. Bi Shen is here too. I'll feel more at ease leaving you guys there. Otherwise, if something happens to you, I'll get beaten up."
Qiong Ruiheng happily pulled Qin Nan into the mountains. He had been to the mountain god temple before and knew the way.
Li You, carrying Jiang Jiang and Bai Hao, followed.
After crossing a mountain, in a relatively flat forest, the tall trees, if their branches and leaves were lush, would surely block out the sun. Fortunately, it was late winter and early spring, and the trees only had tender buds and had not yet grown many large leaves, so the light in the forest was not so dim.
After walking a short distance along the mountain path, a bluestone path appears. Following the winding path, you'll find a large bamboo forest nestled in the mountains.
After turning a few corners, a small temple came into view.
A vermilion gate with lion-head door knockers, white walls and blue tiles.
The gate was wide open, and inside was a temple.
A futon, a long table, an incense burner, and a statue of the mountain god.
Unlike the dilapidated Moon Goddess Temple, the mountain god statue here is majestic and solemn, with brightly colored paint and no dust, indicating that it has been well maintained.
Qin Nan leaned closer to Bai Hao and whispered, "Are there really immortals? Are the immortals here the same as those in the Mountain and Sea Realm?"
Bai Hao: "It's different. In the mortal world, there are mostly immortals and celestial officials, while in the Mountain and Sea Realm, there are mostly gods. The gods each stand on their own, and the human world has lost contact with the immortals. Only the underworld still has some connection, while in the Mountain and Sea Realm, humans and gods have many connections."
Qin Nan: "Does this mountain god statue really have a mountain god?"
Bai Hao: "Well, in human terms, it means that there is a clone attached to it. If you burn incense and make offerings to it, you will receive certain protection."
Qin Nan: "Then, isn't the Shan You you're looking for a divine beast? Is he worshipping the mountain god?"
Bai Hao: "...This is a long story. Shan You is actually Shan Gao."
Qin Nan was taken aback. Oyster shell!
Legend has it that it lives in the Bitter Mountain, looks like a wild boar, is red like cinnabar, loves to drink, and loves to curse.
Qin Nan: "I seem to remember reading that a mountain goat was bitten to death by Panhu, the dragon dog beside Emperor Ku, because it was cursing Emperor Ku. Because it was still cursing before it died, Panhu went to Ku Mountain in a fit of anger and killed all the mountain goats."
Bai Hao: "More or less, but not to the point of exterminating them all. There are still a few left. Shan You is one of the more discerning ones. In order to survive, he avoids people. Later, when the human world and the mountain and sea realm became accessible, he applied to come here. However, his nature is not so easy to change. He was saved by the mountain god when he encountered trouble, so he stayed and became the temple keeper."
Li You: "Yes, I built this mountain god temple for him. It used to be dilapidated and abandoned. This temple has been built for at least a hundred years. I didn't want to come at all at first. It was Shan You who kept his mouth shut and begged me for half a month before I finally agreed."
Qiong Ruiheng curled his lips, looking at Li You's smug look, and really wanted to expose him. It was clearly Shan You who had blocked him in his nest and scolded him for half a month, and he had to do the hard labor because he couldn't stand the scolding anymore.
However, recalling Shan You's insults back then, Qiong Ruiheng had no intention of exposing him. He also wanted to shut that red-skinned pig up!
"Damn it! Where did this little bastard come from, daring to trespass on your grandfather's house!"
A loud male voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard, and what he said startled Qin Nan.
Bai Hao and the other beasts were already used to it; they didn't expect Shan You to come up with anything good.
A short while later, Qin Nan saw a young man wearing a floral shirt, black shorts, and sandals walk in.
The man looked to be in his early twenties, with deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, short, flamboyant red hair, bright red eyes, dark skin, and a mouthful of bright white teeth.
Dan You: "Hey, you white-haired dog! You bald chicken! Are you bored out of your minds? What are you doing here? Addicted to being scolded? Are you a masochist? What, not enough bromance? Need me to liven things up?!"
Qin Nan was dumbfounded, and Qiong Ruiheng lowered his head and covered his face. Luckily, Jiang Jiang was deaf, because at this moment they also wished they were deaf!
