Chapter 87

There's not much rice left at home.

Xie Juanhan specially prepared cornbread.

Place the pickled fish in a pot and heat it over low heat, with the flatbread sticking to the side of the pot.

The wheat flour used to make the pancakes was a mixed wheat flour purchased from Ailan Village.

Xie Juanhan had bought pure wheat flour in Teme Port, but this kind of freshly ground mixed wheat flour from farmers was still more fragrant. He ate it occasionally, and it tasted very good.

After planting the aquatic plants, Xie Juanhan would check on them every morning and evening.

At first, the aquatic plants were barely alive in the tank.

However, as he released his Dragon Power every morning and evening, the aquatic plants gradually turned green and sprouted new branches and leaves.

The aquatic plants in the Inner Land are indeed very resilient.

After the aquatic plants grew new leaves, Xie Juanhan cut them into several sections, replanted them, and then nurtured them with Dragon Power.

Most of the newly planted aquatic plants have survived.

On a sunny day, Xie Juanhan got up in the morning, washed up, and went to check on the aquatic plants.

After glancing at it for a few moments, he suddenly turned to Telingewei and said, "Shall we transplant some aquatic plants today?"

Telingewei walked over. "Is it ready for transplanting?"

"That's enough." Xie Juanhan placed his hand beside his cheek, spread his index finger and thumb, and said with a smile, "It's grown so long."

Telingewei walked over and examined it carefully. "Level 1 magical plant."

Xie Juanhan nodded. "Yes, nourished by the Dragon Power, it grew from a magical plant into a level one magical plant. It might be slightly inferior to an ordinary level one magical plant, but it's still quite good."

The Magic Forest has many level-one magical plants.

Most magical plants grow sporadically in remote places, rarely on a large scale.

It's probably only possible to gather such a large-scale nursery in the homes of certain nobles, royalty, and Archmage.

In addition to the level-two magical plant Star Berry, Xie Juanhan has also managed to cultivate a large batch of aquatic plants here.

After a quick breakfast, the two dragons, without any of their smaller companions but carrying only seaweed, set sail for the open sea.

It took half a day to fly.

They flew to the bay where Xie Juanhan had retrieved the Demonic Core and landed on the sea.

Xie Juanhan took out a large vat from his armlet. "I'll plant the aquatic plants now, and then set up a magic circle. Wait for me a moment."

Telingewei: "Need any help?"

Xie Juanhan: "No need. There are only a few dozen aquatic plants. I can just plant one myself. It will only take a little longer to set up the magic circle."

There's no Moli to help guard the sea, so after planting the seaweed, you need to set up a magic circle to protect it, otherwise it will easily be eaten by passing marine life.

Xie Juanhan dived directly into the sea in human form.

His dragon form has split gills, allowing him to breathe directly underwater, while his human form cannot. Although he can hold his breath for a long time, he still needs to surface to breathe every now and then.

It's easier to plant with your hands than with your claws.

Especially since the magic circle for planting aquatic plants is quite complex, using a humanoid figure would be faster and more accurate.

This time, Xie Juanhan did not use the rune templates that magicians often invented to protect plants.

He specifically searched through the magic encyclopedia to find a rune that could only protect plants within a small area, preventing them from being uprooted and eaten.

This magic circle does not protect the plant's leaves, only its roots.

He planted the aquatic plants, and the surrounding marine life could still eat them, but not to the point of consuming them all.

Xie Juanhan quickly laid out magical runes.

While he was busy, he suddenly noticed that someone was looking at him.

Turning around, I saw that the Tata Fish had appeared behind me at some point.

Xie Juanhan surfaced, took several deep breaths, and waved to the Tata Fish: "What brings you here?"

"Click click click!"

The Tata Fish made a series of calls, indicating that they had seen the Black Dragon flying in the sky, and then swam over.

"You have a good eye." Xie Juanhan touched the nearest Tata Fish.

The Tata Fish looked up at him and croaked, "Cack cack cack!"

Xie Juanhan was taken aback. "You have fish milk, can you exchange fish milk?"

"Click!"

"Thank you." Xie Juanhan opened his arms and hugged the nearest Tata Fish, saying, "We planted some aquatic plants here. You can come and eat them next time you're hungry, just don't eat them all."

"Click-clack!"

Xie Juanhan: "The mud here is very fertile, and the seaweed grows very quickly."

With a smile, Xie Juanhan said, "You can come and patrol here occasionally. These aquatic plants should attract some small fish. With bait here, you should have a good catch when you come hunting."

The Tata Fish listened for a while before they understood Xie Juanhan's words, and then they immediately became excited. "Cack cack!"

Xie Juanhan was originally hugging each of the Tata Fish, especially touching the small Tata Fish.

As the Tata Fish jostled him, he immediately cried out, "Ouch, my back!"

His already aching back was instantly sore from the bumping into the Tata Fish, Xie Juanhan felt all his tenderness vanish in an instant. All he wanted to do was punch the fish. "Stop rubbing against me!"

Xie Juanhan: "Don't think I don't know you guys are trying to piggyback on Dragon Power."

The Tata Fish: "Click click click."

Until Telingewei transformed back into human form and swam over, raising his hand as if to punch the fish.

The Tata Fish, who were often beaten up by him and left with bumps all over their heads, immediately ran away. "Crunch!"

Xie Juanhan, clinging to Telingewei, let out a long sigh, "Looks like we still need to maintain a certain distance."

Telingewei: "Are the aquatic plants planted yet?"

"It's planted, and the magic circle is set up." Xie Juanhan remained hanging on him. "Let's go back and soak in a hot spring; you smell like fish."

Telingewei carried him on his back, transforming into a dragon. "I'll take you to soak in a wild spring."

Xie Juanhan: "Just the two of us?"

"Um."

Xie Juanhan asked again, "Just soaking in wild springs?"

"Let's scout the location first," the dragon said, already taking flight and soaring into the blue sky.

Chapter 87 [VIP]

Days passed by, and the season was approaching its coldest time of the year.

The rivers outside were frozen, and the stream that Xie Juanhan brought into the house was also frozen.

Telingewei took a small pot and deliberately released Dragon Flame, letting it flow along the Dragon Flame until a little water was melted out.

He dipped his fingers into the small pot, carefully feeling the water temperature.

The water temperature is just right; it's safe to water the houseplants.

Telingewei carried a small watering can and first watered the plants on the cabinet, then the plants on the windowsill, bookshelf, and desk.

Xie Juanhan especially loves green plants. He specially bought terracotta flowerpots and planted the green plants he dug up from the Magic Forest in his home.

Even in the dead of winter, these green plants still thrive.

Telingewei tended to the potted plants, his mood became very peaceful.

As he watered the bare plant on his desk, he lifted the pot to take a look.

There was only a wooden stick buried in this terracotta basin.

This wooden stick is the magic wand they found in the study at the foot of the mage tower.

The Magic Power within the wand had completely dissipated, but the wooden staff itself still retained a semblance of life.

Xie Juanhan infused it with some Dragon Power, and after returning home, he found a pot and planted it in it.

More than a month has passed since it was found, and the wooden staff remains motionless, yet it still retains its vitality.

Xie Juanhan sat behind his desk reading, occasionally channeling a bit of Dragon Power into his wooden staff.

Telingewei has seen it many times.

Unexpectedly, the once ordinary wooden cane has sprouted a bud.

The buds are very small, with a dark brown outer skin, and there are only a few of them.

If you're not paying attention, you might miss it.

After Telingewei got together with Xie Juanhan, he became more sensitive to the fluctuations in life, which is how he discovered this tiny bud.

Telingewei lifted the entire flowerpot to examine it.

After watching for a while, he imitated Xie Juanhan and casually channeled Dragon Power into the unknown magical plant.

Whether it's his Dragon Power or Xie Juanhan's Dragon Power, they are essentially the same kind of energy.

Telingewei didn't think the plants would change much after the Dragon Power was inputted.

He had simply gotten used to feeding all sorts of small creatures after spending so much time with Xie Juanhan.

Telingewei didn't take it to heart.

In the evening, he returned from his patrol of the Magic Forest.

The sun was just setting.

The winter sun sets particularly early, reflecting off the white snow, creating a dazzling interplay of light and shadow.

Telingewei stood at the study door and saw the sun setting, sunlight streaming into the study through the open window.

The light and shadows cast by the furniture and plants fall obliquely on the tables, chairs, and floor, creating a particularly tranquil atmosphere.

--If the magical plant on the table hadn't grown a tangled mess of branches.

Telingewei frowned slightly.

What was a bare stick in the morning has grown into a potted shrub by evening?

His first suspicion was that Harper and the others might have accidentally knocked over a flowerpot while playing in the study, and secretly taken another magical plant to replant it?

Otherwise, how could it grow so fast in just one day?

Thinking this, Telingewei reached out and touched the plant.

The moment his hand touched it, the plant spat out a pool of lava at him.

Telingewei quickly withdrew his hand.

Lava fell onto the table, scorching a large section of it.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and cleared the books from the desk, then tapped the desk lightly to extinguish the fire.

The desk wasn't completely burned.

After the magical plant spewed out lava, it went silent again.

Telingewei lifted the flowerpot.

The magical plant, originally imbued with Xie Juanhan's divine aura, is now tainted by his presence.
