Chapter 75

That smile was absolutely radiant, with bright eyes, white teeth, and pale pink lips.

Telingewei found it dazzling and couldn't take his eyes off it.

Somewhere, some creature began to play musical instruments.

The instruments and hymns completely drowned out the low voices.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei looked at each other, communicating with their eyes during the dance.

Despite the presence of so many living beings, they paid no attention, focusing solely on exchanging glances with each other.

This eye contact may not necessarily convey any specific information; it's just that the two dragons' gazes remained fixed on each other.

After finishing the three rounds of dance, Xie Juanhan was still not satisfied.

He had no intention of continuing and, pulling Telingewei along, prepared to leave the dance world.

"Lord Silver Dragon?" the Dwarf called out to him joyfully, "Come again!"

Xie Juanhan pointed to Harper and the others, who were sitting obediently by the crowd.

The little ones huddled together, looking both excited and a little reserved.

Xie Juanhan planned to go and keep them company.

Dwarf, Water Demon, tree spirits, giants, etc., are all natural spirits, and also belong to secondary spirits below the gods.

They are different from Harper and the others.

These secondary spirits have a systematic language and a fixed, exclusive script.

They formed numerous civilizations, such as Dwarf civilization, elf civilization, and giant civilization, which were completely different from magical creatures like Companion Beast and Demonic Beast.

Although Harper and herds do have systematic vocalizations that can convey some information, they cannot form friendships between groups of other creatures.

In this setting, they were clearly somewhat lonely.

Xie Juanhan had brought Telingewei and the animals out to play, not wanting them to be traumatized.

The Dwarf stood still, looking at Xie Juanhan with some regret.

The Weaving Fairies noticed Xie Juanhan's actions and flew over with a "whoosh," landing in front of the little ones and making an inviting gesture, signaling them to follow.

Harper and the others got excited when they saw the Weaving Fairies' movements. They let out a "roar" and followed the Weaving Fairies forward on all fours.

The baby Griffin ran very fast.

The remaining little Demon Wolf was a bit scared. Its ears, which hadn't fully stood up yet, lay limply on its head. Its paws twitched, then twitched again, but it still didn't dare to run forward with the Weaving Fairies through the crowd.

Xie Juanhan walked over, squatted down, hugged it, and rubbed its side. "It's okay, go play. Telingewei and I will watch over you."

The little Demon Wolf was still too scared and clung tightly to his leg, whimpering.

The little Griffin that had run to the front tilted its head, then ran back and grabbed the little Demon Wolf's tail in its mouth. "Awoo!"

The little Demon Wolf's tail was stretched straight, but its rear end remained completely still.

Harper and the others ran back, crowding around the little Demon Wolf and comforting it, "Chirp chirp."

The Weaving Fairies flew to the little Demon Wolf and comforted it with smiles, "Don't be afraid, it's a lot of fun."

Little Demon Wolf: "Awoo."

The Weaving Fairies encouraged it. "Come."

Xie Juanhan smiled and gently pushed its rear end, shoving it forward.

Surrounded by the other little creatures, the little Demon Wolf walked forward, then took a few steps and started running.

The other little ones were running around too.

The textile Elf quickly guided them to the second floor, placing them in front of a thick, lacquered panel that resembled a staircase.

"Hoo--"

A whistle sounded from somewhere.

The Weaving Fairies immediately directed the little ones to jump onto the thick, lacquered slab that resembled a staircase.

The little ones jumped up one after another.

The thick, lacquered plate actually houses a button.

The little ones made a huge noise the moment they jumped on.

Because the little ones' movements were inconsistent, and their voices trembled: "Clang—"

The little guys weren't the only ones making a huge noise when they jumped onto the thick, lacquered plate.

Inside the church, countless thick, lacquered panels were trampled upon by all sorts of creatures, producing loud and chaotic sounds.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei stood downstairs watching the little ones.

Xie Juanhan was quite surprised when the little ones made a sound as they stepped on the thick, painted panels.

"Those thick, lacquered plates are actually piano keys?" Xie Juanhan looked at the church's dome and quickly realized that there were indeed musical instrument-like devices.

Telingewei whispered, "It's a church harp. It was very popular hundreds of years ago, but it's quite rare now."

Xie Juanhan whispered in Telingewei's ear, "It must be spectacular to play such a church harp, but does one need training to play it?"

Telingewei: "It's alright, the Weaving Fairies will."

The church harp continued to emit a noisy melody as they spoke in hushed tones.

Gradually, the music became more and more synchronized.

Harper and the others were following the instructions of the Weaving Fairies, jumping onto or off the piano keys as they moved.

As the little ones became more and more agile, the music from the church harp became more and more rhythmic.

"Ding ding ding--ding--"

The stirring music gradually took shape, and the rhythm became increasingly lively.

Not only Harper and the others, but all the creatures standing beside the piano keys followed the commands of the various winged fairies, jumping up or down.

The giants sat cross-legged beside the piano keys, pressing them with their fingers.

All living beings cooperated perfectly, making the music even more melodious.

The dancing creatures returned to the dance floor, swaying to the rousing music and loudly singing profound hymns.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei exchanged a glance, and at the Dwarf's enthusiastic invitation, they returned to the dance floor.

All the living beings inside the church were either playing music or dancing.

The music and singing resounded through the sky, and everyone's dancing became even more joyful and energetic.

They took turns dancing like that, until the wee hours of the morning.

The music gradually faded, and more and more people gathered around to rest.

And little fairies were sleeping all over the church.

Xie Juanhan pulled Telingewei along and whispered, "Let's go back."

Telingewei: "Okay."

Xie Juanhan: "Let's go, let's say goodbye to the Weaving Fairies and then we'll go back."

The two dragons greeted the tribes they knew and prepared to return.

At this moment, many creatures of various races lay sprawled out in various parts of the church.

In the second half of the ball, the Dwarf and Water Demon brought out wine.

Some people were tired from dancing, some were drunk, and many fell asleep.

Xie Juanhan was also sleepy. He yawned and hugged the dragon's neck.

The little ones were all squatting around him.

The little ones were very excited when they first got on the dragon's back, but after the dragon flew a distance away from the lights and music, they gradually became sleepy.

The little ones snuggled up next to Xie Juanhan, curled up in a tight ball, and fell asleep warmly.

Upon noticing this, the dragon flew even more steadily.

"Go to sleep if you're sleepy. I'll wake you up when we get home," the giant dragon whispered to Xie Juanhan.

Xie Juanhan hugged his neck, a smile in his eyes, "I'm not particularly sleepy, but I feel especially good when it's just the two of us awake."

The dragon responded softly, "Hmm."

The dragon flew very steadily and very slowly, and by the time it reached Xie Juanhan's hut, it was almost dawn.

As dawn approached, the night grew even deeper, the sky heavy and dark, like ink that could not be dissolved.

The night was deep, the dew was heavy, and the chill was penetrating to the bone.

Xie Juanhan jumped off the dragon's back and stood in front of him. Instead of rushing to hug the little Demon Wolf and the little Griffin, he looked up at him.

The dragon lowered its head and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Xie Juanhan smiled and asked him, "Are you staying overnight?"

Telingewei's throat bobbed.

Xie Juanhan then said in a low voice, "My bed is a bit small, but I can share it with you—if you don't mind."

Telingewei: "I couldn't ask for more."

Xie Juanhan: "Wait a moment, I'll bring the little ones inside."

Telingewei: "I'll go with you."

Telingewei transformed back into human form and, together with Xie Juanhan, gently carried the little ones to the study and lit the fireplace.

Xie Juanhan extended his hand.

Telingewei grasped his hand.

They walked together into the room.

Chapter 75 [VIP]

The day after Xie Juanhan and his group returned from the ball, the first snow of early winter fell.

At first, it only snowed small particles.

As it continued to fall, a flurry of heavy snowflakes began to drift down from the sky.

The snow fell to the ground, making a soft sound.

The world seemed even more silent.

The little ones stopped making a fuss and all stayed quietly in the kitchen.

Xie Juanhan is roasting dried mushrooms.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of dried mushrooms, a mix of woody and savory scents—neither particularly pleasant nor unpleasant.

Telingewei walked in from outside.

The little ones glanced up at him, then lay back down, showing no intention of giving up their spots.

Telingewei shoved the two Companion Beast away with his foot before squeezing next to Xie Juanhan.

The little guy, pushed away, scratched at his shoes with his paws, flicked his tail, and continued lying there.

Xie Juanhan turned and asked, "How's it going over there in your cave?"

Telingewei: "A protective spell has been set up, nothing else."

"Perfect, we can stay here all winter," Xie Juanhan said with a smile. Then he added, "Come help me roast the mushrooms; I can't seem to get the temperature right, the fire's a bit too high."
