Geng Chen left, and E Ning obediently lay on the table. Now that there were no humans or beasts left, he kept his mouth shut and minimized his presence.
Bai Hao: "Have you figured it out? Do you want to see Jie Chong?"
Shen Tan smiled sheepishly, but her expression was firm: "See you..."
Before he could finish speaking, his body stiffened, and then the gate to the mirage opened, and Jie Chong and many Xie Zhi entered in single file.
Meng Zhang picked up Chi Ran and went forward to negotiate with the chief of the Xie Zhi clan about security issues at the market.
Jie Chong and several young Xie Zhi walked over.
As Chen Tan watched Jie Chong slowly approach, most of the energy she had mustered vanished.
Qin Nan patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him.
However, before Shen Tan could approach Xie Chong to speak, he had already thrown a punch at Bai Hao with lightning speed. Bai Hao was prepared, dodging the punch with his head tilted, blocking it with his hand, and simultaneously knocking Xie Chong back with his knee.
Jie Chong: "This isn't over yet!"
With that, Jie Chong attacked again, and together with Bai Hao, they fought their way out of the island in the middle of the lake and into the forest.
Chen Tan stood there dumbfounded, looking at Qin Nan with a confused expression. Qin Nan remembered the despicable thing Bai Hao had done last time, raised his hand to touch his nose, feeling guilty and not knowing how to explain.
Jie Xuan: "What's wrong with these two? Why did they start fighting as soon as they met? And they couldn't beat Bai Hao. What's wrong with Jie Chong?"
Jie Ziang: "Nine times out of ten, it's that black-hearted Bai Hao causing trouble again! It's probably because of that time he made Jie Chong yell his name in anger. They can handle it themselves, no need to worry about it."
Jie Fan: "Why bother with them? Let them fight. Jie Chong can't beat Bai Hao, and Bai Hao can't break his shield either."
"Long time no see, Chen Tan! This must be Bai Hao's partner. Hello, I am Jie Fan from the Xie Zhi clan!"
Xie Zi'ang: "I am Xie Zi'ang, and he is Xie Xuan!"
Chen Tan took a breath and maintained her composure: "Long time no see."
Qin Nan: "Ah, hello everyone, I'm Qin Nan."
Jie Xuan: "Oh, you really are human! As expected, people in the real world are much better looking than those in the Mountain and Sea Realm!"
Jie Ziang: "That's not entirely true. Qin Nan is good-looking, even by today's standards. But not everyone is good-looking; some are uglier than humans in the Mountain and Sea Realm!"
Jie Xuan: "That's true, Qin Nan is indeed beautiful, which is a good deal for that beast Bai Hao!"
Jie Fan: "...Is this the key point?"
Xie Zi'ang and Xie Xuan: "Isn't that right?!"
Jie Fan: "..."
Qin Nan chuckled as she watched the three lively characters causing a ruckus.
Shen Tan shook his head helplessly: "Brother Anan, don't mind them, they've always been like this."
Qin Nan: No, they seem to have a very good relationship.
Jie Xuan: "Hmph, not at all!"
Xie Zi'ang: "It won't get any better!"
Jie Fan: "Yes! You two are really no better than each other!"
As they spoke, Bai Hao and Xie Chong returned covered in dust and dirt. Their clothes were in good condition, except for some leaves and dirt, so they must have been careful.
As Jie Chong walked, he brushed the dust off his clothes, but Bai Hao immediately used a cleansing spell, making him instantly clean.
Jie Chong remained silent, but refused to ask for help.
Chen Tan: "Brother A-Chong, it's been a long time."
Jie Chong looked up at Shen Tan, who was smiling brightly at him. His anger towards Bai Hao had subsided considerably, and he immediately put on a smile. "Long time no see, Xiao Tan. Why are you alone? Aren't you always with Xiao Yan?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Tan choked for a moment, pondering how to respond.
Bai Hao: "Geng Chen has been kidnapped, you won't see him for a while."
Jie Chong paused for a moment, then immediately understood, and then instinctively looked at Bai Hao: "...Don't fucking show me that again!"
Bai Hao: "Hmm... I don't plan on that, but you saying that..."
Jie Chong: "Get out!"
Bai Hao: "Forget it, you're too boring."
Jie Chong: "I don't find it interesting? Who can watch that with a completely calm mind?!"
Bai Hao: "Bi Shen."
Jie Chong: "..."
Jie Chong remained silent; Bi Shen was truly something else!
Bi Shen is simply extraordinary. He is calm and rational to a terrifying degree. He has never had any major emotional fluctuations. Fortunately, he is not as cunning as Bai Hao!
Bai Hao: "Tsk, you're no good!"
Jie Chong: "...I really want to bury you!"
Bai Hao: "Ha, don't dream in broad daylight!"
Jie Chong: "..."
I hate that such a black-hearted creature could have appeared among the auspicious beasts like the Bai Ze!
Seeing that Chen Tan couldn't get a word in edgewise, Qin Nan pulled Bai Hao aside.
Qin Nan: "Jie Chong, Tan Tan needs to talk to you!"
Upon hearing this, Jie Chong looked at Chen Tan with a puzzled expression.
Chen Tan blushed slightly and stammered without saying a word. Seeing this, Jie Chong knew that he wanted to talk to him alone, so he put his arm around Chen Tan's shoulder and led him behind the banyan tree.
Jie Chong changed his tone from Bai Hao's and asked Chen Tan softly, "What's wrong, Xiao Tan? Is something the matter?"
Chen Tan: "Hmm... Brother A-Chong..."
Jie Chong: "Yes, I'm here."
Shen Tan felt as if something was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word that was on the tip of her tongue.
Jie Chong patiently awaited the next installment.
Chen Tan: "It's...it's...me..."
Looking at Shen Tan, whose face was flushed and who couldn't speak clearly, Jie Chong couldn't help but reach out and touch his face.
Jie Chong: "Xiao Tan, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell? Or did some beast bully you?"
Shen Tan jerked back slightly to avoid Jie Chong's hand, but not only did her face turn red, her neck also flushed, which was particularly noticeable against her white hair.
Jie Chong: "Are you really not feeling unwell?"
