On the other side, Qin Nan, who was ushered into the house, sat stiffly on the sofa, surrounded by a group of wealthy ladies.
Although their clothes were different, their gentle and elegant temperament was the same.
"So you're Nannan! I heard from my Muqiu that Xiaohao has a partner, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true!"
Qin Nan looked up at the woman who was speaking. She was wearing a sexy silk slip dress, but on her feet were a pair of cute cotton slippers, clearly indicating that she had come out in a hurry.
Qin Nan hadn't dared to look directly at these ladies until now, when she finally saw the face of the lady who was speaking. Bai Muqiu had perfectly inherited her face; it was small and delicate, but her features were striking, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and she looked radiant.
Qin Nan smiled politely and gently: "Hello, so you are Muqiu's mother. I've heard Muqiu mention that you and your uncle are very loving."
Qin Nan racked his brains for words, but the only thing he remembered Bai Muqiu saying that wasn't a complaint about his parents was that they were on vacation, which meant they must be very loving.
Bai Jingyao smiled upon hearing this. She knew her son's character well enough; it was already a favor that he didn't call her a tigress. It was probably not easy for Qin Nan to think of this.
"Tsk tsk, they seem quite affectionate~"
A lady dressed in a pink rabbit plush onesie pajama held a cup of hot milk tea prepared by Bai Xin, smiling approvingly.
Bai Jingyao: "I can't compare, I can't compare to you guys who are having a second child!"
"Oh~ Second child, what happened? Bai Jue finally couldn't stand you anymore and ran away from home?"
Bai Sisi tugged at the rabbit ears on her pajamas in annoyance. "Hmph, don't mention that brat. It's been years since I've seen him, and his OCD has gotten even worse. He doesn't even come home. I went to his den to see him and disinfected me three times. I really wanted to throw that brat into a mud puddle and roll around in it to disinfect him too!"
"How dare you say that? Bai Jue's obsessive-compulsive disorder is all because of your unreliable mother!"
Bai Xin placed two plates of pastries on the table and casually made a comment.
Bai Sisi felt guilty: "I didn't expect him to be even more outrageous than his father. Sigh, if I don't have a second child, I'll never be a mother-in-law, let alone a grandmother!"
Bai Jingyao casually picked up a piece of cherry blossom cake and took a light bite: "Relax, if you can't be it, so be it, take it easy."
Are you sure you've come to terms with it? Or have you just given up?
A woman dressed in a blue robe and skirt with her hair in an elegant updo, standing to Qin Nan's right, spoke leisurely.
Bai Jingyao's body went limp, and she lay back on the sofa. "If the whole clan can't do anything, what can I do? Besides, it's not that bad. Having such a virtuous son-in-law is not bad at all."
Rather than saying I've come to terms with it, it's more accurate to say the dragon race has come to terms with it. The ancestral dragon lineage only has this one pure-blooded member left, and he's been ruined by my son. Thinking about it, my son is quite something!
Bai Zhi smiled as she looked at the dejected Bai Jingyao, "Well, the Dragon Clan has come to terms with it; you've given up struggling."
As Bai Zhi finished speaking, the room erupted in laughter.
Qin Nan relaxed a bit as she listened to their casual conversation. These elders were all easy to get along with and quite interesting.
"Nannan, have some snacks. Don't be shy, make yourself at home!"
The woman to Qin Nan's left, dressed in a white casual outfit, casually clipped her hair up and invited Qin Nan to have some snacks and tea.
Qin Nan: "Okay, sure."
Qin Nan's gaze fell on the pastries on the table. They were pastries he had never seen before. He picked one up and tasted it. It was crisp and delicious, but not dry. It melted in his mouth after taking a sip of tea, leaving a sweet aftertaste.
However, Qin Nan couldn't taste what kind of pastry it was.
Seeing that Qin Nan seemed to have some doubts, Bai Lingyan, the lady on his left, explained things to him.
"These are desserts made with flowers from the mountains and seas, unlike those from the human world."
Qin Nan: "No wonder, it tastes delicious, but I really can't taste what it is."
Bai Xin: "What, Nan Nan likes to make desserts?"
Qin Nan nodded: "Actually, I prefer cooking. I tried making some desserts before because I was taking care of Chi Wei and Pi Yuan. I thought I did a pretty good job, but after eating Aunt Xin's desserts today, I realized that I'm still far from good enough."
Bai Xin accepted the praise with a smile.
Bai Xin: "It's okay, Aunt Xin can teach you. Come find Aunt Xin whenever you have time, and Xiao Hao will show you the way."
Qin Nan smiled and agreed, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Aunt Xin."
Bai Sisi: "Nannan, Auntie has a question. Auntie heard you say that Xiao Chiwei and Xiao Piyuan were with you, so I used my divine power a little, but Auntie still can't know anything about you. Can Auntie ask?"
Qin Nan was slightly taken aback, and pondered for a moment: "Because my background is somewhat special, a long, long time ago, I had some connection with the Bai Ze clan, but some things happened later, and there are some issues that I haven't figured out yet."
The others in the room fell silent upon hearing this, each secretly using their divine power, but the result was indeed just a white mist, and they knew nothing about Qin Nan.
Bai Lingyan: "Nannan's visit to the Mountain and Sea Realm wasn't just to see us, was it for the same reason we came back?"
Qin Nan: "If it's about the underworld, then yes, that's why I came here."
Bai Zhi: "Nan Nan, do you have a way to resolve the matters of the Underworld?"
Qin Nan nodded: "Yes, that's possible, but it won't be that easy. Hopefully there won't be any casualties."
Bai Zhi looked at the obedient yet worried Qin Nan and couldn't help but pat his head.
Bai Zhi: "It's alright. Nan Nan is very capable. Even our Bai Ze clan can't do anything about it. If casualties are necessary, then there's no need to blame ourselves. If it can't be resolved, then it's probably not just about casualties."
Qin Nan was a little uncomfortable with being patted on the head, but he was too embarrassed to refuse. He felt like he was being treated like a cub, just like his father. Although it was warm, he couldn't help but feel a little awkward and shy.
