Bai Hao and Li You were speechless at Shan You's words. The best option was to treat him as if he were talking nonsense, otherwise, no amount of life would be enough to provoke him.
Bai Hao: "Come with me somewhere."
Shan You: "Huh? Are you crazy? Why should I go with you? It's just a broken auspicious beast, what's with the swagger? You think I'll do whatever you tell me to do? Why don't you just fly up to the heavens like the Golden Crow?!"
Qin Nan remained shocked, while Bai Hao's face darkened.
Li You decisively turned around, raised her hand to cover her mouth to stop herself from laughing. Offending Bai Hao at this moment would be a terrible death, but she really wanted to laugh!
Qiong Ruiheng stared blankly, pretending to be a little fool and a little deaf. He hadn't heard anything and didn't want to participate in anything. He was still just a baby!
Bai Hao clenched his fist, took a step forward, dragged Shan You out for a while, and then came back, still dressed neatly.
Shan You, who was dragged back by Bai Hao like a dead dog, had a swollen, pig-like head and shed tears of regret.
Qin Nan found it strange. This Shan You is amazing. He was beaten so badly but didn't utter a sound!
Qiong Ruiheng silently mourned for Shan You. Bai Hao knew too many things, including the art of silencing, so he genuinely dared not provoke Bai Hao.
Li You had already overcome her laughter, handed Jiang Jiang to Qin Nan to hold, and then took over from Bai Hao to carry Shan You on her shoulders.
That idiot, knowing full well that Bai Hao is not someone to mess with, still insists on letting his foul mouth run wild.
Besides, Bai Hao always offers rewards for his help. It might not be physical goods, but could be a bit of luck or a prophecy. In general, he won't be shortchanged. Therefore, any divine beast would be happy to help the Bai Ze clan if they asked for his assistance.
Shan You had almost faced the annihilation of his clan, and was lacking in luck. He didn't cherish this rare opportunity and even had a bad mouth. He deserved to be beaten!
Bai Hao arranged the wild fruits and other offerings that Shan You had brought back and lit incense for him.
With nothing else to do, the group closed the mountain god temple and left the bamboo forest.
Qin Nan: "Why is there a mountain god temple here? If it's hidden deep in the mountains, wouldn't no one come to visit?"
Looking at the mountain god temple hidden in the bamboo forest behind him, Qin Nan couldn't help but ask Bai Hao.
Bai Hao: "Long ago, there were people in the mountains. But as times changed and the world changed, they were relegated to the wilderness. Now, fewer and fewer people believe in gods and ghosts, and many temples have been forgotten. At least here, Shan You will always be here."
With Li You carrying him on her shoulder, Shan You looked up at the receding mountain god temple upon hearing this, his eyes filled with melancholy. A god without faith will grow weaker and weaker, and perhaps one day it will disappear. He hadn't dreamed of the mountain god in a long time.
Bai Hao glanced at Shan You, somewhat speechless.
The mountain god didn't see him, not because he disappeared, but because he was scolded. It's just that the mountain god has a good temper and is understanding by nature. He never held a grudge and even spared some of his energy to protect him.
Other beasts who knew Shan You, apart from Bai Jue, Bi Shen, and Jie Chong, had all beaten him up. Even Bai Muqiu, who had a good temper, had done it.
However, Bai Jue didn't beat him because he had severe mysophobia and beating him would make his hands dirty, while Jie Chong didn't beat him because he was protecting endangered alien beasts.
Perhaps only Bi Shen was purely too rational, remaining completely unmoved and unfazed by Shan You's insults. This caused Shan You to run away whenever he saw him.
After all, even the beast Dan You himself couldn't listen to someone hurling insults at him with such calmness and a smile, and even offer them a cup of tea to soothe their throat during a break.
But Bi Shen succeeded, which made Shan You extremely frustrated. It was more painful than being beaten by other beasts. It was a double attack on his mind and spirit, which Shan You couldn't withstand.
Bai Hao had to admit that Bi Shen was the most emotionally stable beast he knew, without exception.
Leaving the mountain god temple, we headed deeper into the mountains.
Qin Nan, holding Jiang Jiang, and Bai Hao, holding Qin Nan, took off and flew through the forest.
Li You carried Shan You on one arm and held Qiong Ruiheng's hand with the other. Qiong Ruiheng spread her wings and took the two of them into the air, following behind Bai Hao.
Although Qiong Ruiheng was still a cub, he was strong enough to easily weigh two adults.
As you pass through the deep, dense forest, the humidity in the air gradually increases, and streams and marshes appear.
When they were nearing their destination, they had already left the forest.
Qin Nan looked in astonishment at the boundless lake that appeared deep in the mountains, which looked like a vast ocean from afar.
Bai Hao landed near the lake. It was daytime now, and he would have to wait until nightfall, so he took a short rest.
As a divine beast, food is not necessary, but Qin Nan does. Although he was temporarily unharmed due to the divine power given to him by Bai Hao, he is now an ordinary person and cannot rely on his power forever.
Bai Hao had also considered feeding Qin Nan Zhu Yu grass, but although it could fill her stomach, it tasted terrible, and human food was much better.
Tanuki Yu: "I've never been to this area before, but the scenery is quite nice."
Qiong Ruiheng did not retract his wings, but flew in a small circle on the water.
Dan You's injuries have healed. Although she was very unwilling, she had no choice but to stay put. Running away was useless; no matter where she ran, Bai Hao would pull her out.
Besides, he's good for nothing but swearing. Bai Hao must have asked him to help him swear, and he'd be happy to do that. He's not only good at swearing, but he also enjoys it!
Bai Hao: "We'll have to wait until nightfall. We'll rest here until then."
Tanuki Yu: "Sure, I'll build a stove. Do you have any cooking utensils and seasonings?"
Bai Hao: Yes.
As he spoke, Bai Hao magically produced pots, pans, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.
Qin Nan was shocked: "How did you do that?"
Li You wasn't surprised: "Telekinesis, the kitchen utensils must have been taken from Liu Village, I don't know about the seasonings, but they look used, so it should be legal!"
