Chapter 79

"Chirp?" Harper persisted, asking if it was really forbidden to bring them along.

Telingewei looked down at it. "We'll be back in a few days, and we'll bring you gifts."

Harper scratched his pants. "Squeak."

She indicated that she still wanted to go out with them.

Telingewei remained unmoved.

Harper turned to look at Xie Juanhan, and said pitifully, "Chirp."

The other Companion Beast immediately followed, all blinking their big eyes at Xie Juanhan: "Eek."

Xie Juanhan smiled and said, "I'll follow Telingewei's arrangements for this trip."

It means that if Telingewei says he won't bring it, then he won't bring it.

Several Companion Beast ran up to Xie Juanhan, rolling over and rubbing their bellies against his feet.

Xie Juanhan remained unmoved.

The Companion Beast were greatly disappointed, chirping for a long time before turning their rear ends towards him in protest.

Telingewei arranged everything at home and even asked the Weaving Fairies to look after the little ones.

On a relatively calm morning, Telingewei first transformed into a black dragon, carried Xie Juanhan on his back, and flew to Teme Port, landing in front of a trading company.

Xie Juanhan had seen this trading company before in Teme Port, but had never entered it.

This trading company was particularly large, with its stone building standing over twenty meters tall.

Two stone statues stand before its imposing gate.

Xie Juanhan had passed by from afar before, but couldn't discern the significance of the stone statue and paid it no attention.

Now that he's come back, he knows for sure that these are actually two Gargoyle.

They will awaken at night to guard the entire trading company.

Xie Juanhan assumed that Telingewei was going to buy a gift and didn't think much of it.

Once inside the magnificent hall, he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

Xie Juanhan asked, "Is this a bank?"

After listening carefully, Telingewei nodded. "A Silver Money Trading Company jointly owned by Elf, trolls, and humans; it's also the largest Silver Money Trading Company in the surrounding kingdoms."

Xie Juanhan looked up at the gold badge hanging from the ceiling of the hall, which was over ten meters high, and his eyes showed admiration.

As soon as they entered, professional waiters came to serve them.

Telingewei indicated he would take stock of his assets.

The waiter was startled and quickly summoned the manager, who in turn summoned the highest-ranking manager in the business.

"Lord Dragon." The highest steward bowed deeply to Telingewei, and after finishing, without straightening up, he bowed again to Xie Juanhan, "Lord Silver Dragon."

Xie Juanhan was not surprised that such a powerful force knew of his existence, and simply nodded.

The chief steward invited them to the VIP room.

Before long, at Telingewei's request, he had someone bring out the ledgers, along with a secret gold token on the golden-red velvet.

"My Lord Dragon, your current assets total 6,871 Anto Gold Coins, 17,684 Level 3 Demonic Core, 651 Level 4 Demonic Core, and 22 Level 5 Demonic Core."

Hearing the chief steward's words, Xie Juanhan asked, "So many?"

Telingewei: "Only a part of it is here."

Telingewei said in a low voice, "I didn't originally have the habit of storing my assets in the Silver Money Trading Company. Later, the Elf and humans jointly asked me to do so. They said that if gold coins and Demonic Core didn't circulate, it would lead to serious economic consequences. In addition, if Demonic Core were stored indefinitely, their Magic Power would dissipate. It would be better to lend them out, and withdraw new Demonic Core when needed. This would benefit all parties."

Xie Juanhan hadn't expected the local financial sector to be so well-developed. "That's good, it benefits everyone."

Telingewei nodded, picked up the Mystic Token, and then took out another Mystic Token from his Dragon Scale Space: "This is my voucher at the Silver Money Trading Company. It contains my Magic Power. Enter your Magic Power into it so you can withdraw it at any time later."

"Wait!" Xie Juanhan immediately knew why he had brought him here today, and looked at him seriously, "You want to share the assets in the Silver Money Trading Company with me?"

Access to funds at any time—that's what sharing means.

Upon hearing this, the chief steward tacitly led his men away.

Xie Juanhan stared at Telingewei for a long time.

Telingewei met her gaze calmly.

Xie Juanhan sighed, "Don't be impulsive."

Xie Juanhan thought that if he were still in his hometown, he would most likely try to dissuade his people from sharing their savings of over a thousand years with a dragon they had only known for less than a year.

The same applies if Telingewei has any tribesmen.

Telingewei knelt on one knee, looked up at Xie Juanhan, and said, "We swore yesterday that we would share both poverty and wealth, good times and bad, joy and sorrow. I will fulfill that vow."

Xie Juanhan was stunned for a moment; it was indeed the Black Dragon with a pure heart.

Xie Juanhan stared at Telingewei for a long time, then raised his hand and solemnly swore an oath to the heavens. "I also swear by my Dao heart that I will share everything I have with you, whether it is everything I have in this world or everything I have left in my hometown."

He had considerable savings in his hometown and inherited many possessions from his dragon ancestors, making him even wealthier than Telingewei.

That wouldn't be a betrayal of Telingewei's sincerity.

Chapter 79 [VIP]

I left the Silver Money Trading Company.

Xie Juanhan, a dragon from out of town with a poor background, suddenly became one of the richest creatures in several nearby kingdoms.

Telingewei, not satisfied, grabbed Xie Juanhan's hand and said, "I have a few old friends who borrowed gold coins or Demonic Core from me. I'll take you to see them."

"Anything else?" Xie Juanhan was about to tease, "Just how much wealth do you have left?"

Then Telingewei said, "We powerful magical creatures rely entirely on our innate abilities. Most powerful mages are very knowledgeable; we can ask about the spatial rift."

Xie Juanhan was surprised that he still remembered this, and stared at him blankly.

Telingewei knew what Xie Juanhan was thinking and said earnestly, "I remember everything you said."

Xie Juanhan looked into his eyes and suddenly said, "I'm so lucky to have a lover like you."

For the first and probably only time in his life, Xie Juanhan encountered a guy like Telingewei in a romantic relationship. He felt he must have accumulated a great deal of good karma in his past life.

Otherwise, one cannot have this blessing.

Telingewei squeezed Xie Juanhan's hand. "I'm the lucky one."

Xie Juanhan smiled and said, "Let's go for a walk."

When they said goodbye to Harper and the others and came to Teme Port, they not only promised to bring them gifts when they returned, but also made several other promises.

Having finally managed to exchange for a few days of vacation, of course I have to make good use of it.

Telingewei is quite familiar with Teme Port, but when it comes to vacationing experience, he can't compare to Xie Juanhan.

Xie Juanhan specifically booked a secluded hotel along the coast for him and Telingewei to stay in.

The hotel features a luxurious bed with soft furnishings, a silver mirror, and bright candlelight.

Xie Juanhan specially bought a variety of chains, including a chest chain, a waist chain, and an anklet.

He hung the chain on Telingewei, while he himself stood in front of the mirror.

Their figures swayed, the candlelight flickered, and the gold chains jingled—although they didn't intend to go on a honeymoon, they certainly did have one.

Xie Juanhan originally planned to check out the next day, but ended up checking out on the third day.

Therefore, they had to travel through the night so that they could return home within the agreed timeframe with Harper and the others.

When traveling, it's inconvenient to find accommodation in big cities.

That day, the black dragon carried the White Dragon to a tall mage tower in the wilderness, intending to stay overnight at the top of the tower.

"This mage tower originated from an Archmage several hundred years ago, who was later killed for offending the royal family, but many magical installations remain inside and outside the tower."

After listening to his explanation, Xie Juanhan said, "Does that mean we can't move around carelessly?"

Telingewei: "The top of the mage tower is alright. There might be some residual magic circles at the bottom, but they won't have much effect on creatures like us. At most, they'll just cause us some trouble."

Xie Juanhan nodded.

Telingewei revealed his true purpose. "Remember to call me wherever you're going."

Xie Juanhan sneered, "Where can I go?"

That's what they say.

They spent the night atop the mage tower.

The next morning, while Xie Juanhan was still resting in bed, Telingewei transformed into a giant dragon and flew out from the top of the mage tower, intending to go to a nearby town to buy fresh food and wine.

It wasn't as cold outside as the Magic Forest, but it was still covered in snow and ice for miles around.

When Telingewei was still there, Xie Juanhan didn't feel cold. But after he left, the temperature in the bed dropped, and it wasn't as comfortable anymore.

Xie Juanhan's sleepiness vanished along with the warm air.

He lazily curled up in bed, unable to sleep but not wanting to get up, only rubbing his aching back in bed.

Just then, he heard a rustling sound.

Because he was strong enough, he showed no intention of getting up, only turning his head to look.

If the creature that comes is hostile, he doesn't mind throwing out a burst of cold air and creating an ice sculpture on the spot.

A little bit of fuzz appeared at the edge of the mage tower.

Judging from its size, it is clearly a small creature.

Xie Juanhan's hostility lessened somewhat as he stared at the other side.

The creature over there was also staring at him, its large brown eyes were very lively.

Xie Juanhan watched for a while, then stuck his finger out from under the covers and beckoned it.

The creature hesitated for a moment, then fully exposed its head.

It's another Elf.

The Pixie wore a thick, fluffy hat, had braided hair, and had pale green, transparent wings on its back.
