Chapter 88

His aura couldn't be described as evil, but it felt completely different from Xie Juanhan's.

The plants even smell a bit like sulfur.

After so many years of growth, Telingewei no longer carried the smell of sulfur on him.

This magical plant actually retains some of his early aura.

Telingewei was puzzled, and examined the plant closely.

This magical plant has clearly mutated; it's estimated to be at level two.

How could a perfectly good magical plant mutate?

Isn't his power a kind of Magic Power?

After looking at the plant for a while, Telingewei glanced at the messy desk.

My head suddenly felt huge.

He found a piece of Demonic Beast skin in his spatial storage and laid it out to cover the charred areas, then tried to take away the power belonging to him from the magical plant.

The magical plant had grown from a bare stick into a shrub, and despite his efforts over a long period, he couldn't bring it back at all.

However, in the process, he ended up plucking many of the magical plant's branches and leaves bare.

The magical plant looks exactly the same as before.

Just as Telingewei was working hard, a few fluffy little heads peeked into the study doorway. "Chirp!"

Telingewei glanced at them, then turned sideways to block their view. "Hungry so quickly?"

The Companion Beast howled, indicating they were starving that quickly. "Chirp!"

Telingewei: "Frozen meat? Or how about we cook some meat for you guys as an extra meal?"

The Companion Beast protested loudly. "Chirp!"

Telingewei: "If no one's going to eat, then we'll wait and talk about it at dinner."

After finishing speaking, Telingewei ignored the Companion Beast and turned back to struggle with the plant.

The Companion Beast squatted outside the door and watched for a long time, their eyes filled with doubt. "Chirp?"

It was getting dark.

Telingewei put the bald plant back in its place and said to his Companion Beast, "What are you looking at?"

The Companion Beast shook their heads rapidly.

Telingewei took a deep breath. "I'll go pick the vegetables."

Telingewei put the flowerpot back in its place.

The plants in the flowerpot were bare, looking no different from in the morning. If Xie Juanhan hadn't been paying close attention, he would never have noticed.

Telingewei decided not to tell Xie Juanhan about this for the time being.

He'll try to restore the plant to its original state first.

For this reason, he spent two consecutive days reading diligently in the study, occupying Xie Juanhan's desk to prevent Xie Juanhan from noticing that something was wrong with the green plants on the desk.

Xie Juanhan sensed that something was wrong, but couldn't immediately pinpoint what the problem was.

Couples also need privacy.

Since Telingewei is unwilling to discuss this for the time being, let's not delve into it further.

Telingewei had been deep in thought these past few days, and his already serious expression looked rather intimidating.

The Griffin Nibote quietly circled around him.

The Companion Beast stared at Telingewei for two days.

That day, while Telingewei was out hunting, Xie Juanhan went to the Weaving Fairies to order clothes, and the Companion Beast finally couldn't resist and attacked.

Carrying flowerpots in their mouths, they traversed the dense Magic Forest, heading straight to the foothills to find their Elf friends.

"Chirp--"

Exhausted and panting, the Companion Beast squatted by the pile of rocks, calling to their friends.

"Pfft, pfft."

The Pixie, dressed in bright clothes, popped out one after another. "Chirp?"

The Companion Beast pleaded for their friends' help, "Chirp chirp chirp."

After a long discussion, the Pixie finally understood what had happened.

They looked curiously at the bare plants, flying around them.

The aura emanating from this magical plant is particularly strange.

The Pixie were a little scared. "Chirp."

The Companion Beast chirped.

A brave Pixie finally reached out and touched the bare branch.

"Ah!" The Pixie quickly withdrew his hand.

The plant exudes a hot aura, yet its hands are not scorched.

Seeing that their companion was alright, the other Pixie also reached out their little hands to touch the bare plant, exclaiming in surprise.

At the request of their Companion Beast, the Pixie cast Blessing Magic on the plants.

Their Blessing Magic works well, but it has little effect on plants.

Not only was the plant not purified, but the energy within it became even more chaotic.

"Chirp." The Pixie spread their little hands, indicating that they couldn't do anything about it either.

The Companion Beast chirped in frustration.

The Pixie had no choice, so the Companion Beast stayed and played with them for Pixie while, trying to carry the plant back.

However, after finally managing to carry the plant out, they were unable to repair it or help Telingewei, so they couldn't help but feel down.

This plant, pot and soil, is so heavy.

When they arrived, they all worked together to carry the plant over.

On the way back, feeling down, they couldn't carry the plants themselves and had to drag them back, half-carrying and half-dragging them.

The Companion Beast walk very slowly.

Xie Juanhan has already gone home, but they haven't arrived yet.

When Xie Juanhan returned home, the house was quiet inside and out, except for the Demon Wolf and the Griffin lying on the mat sunbathing.

He looked around and asked Moli on the mat, "Where are Harper and the others?"

Moli opened her eyes and looked at Xie Juanhan: "Ugh."

Xie Juanhan patted the wolf's head. "Didn't you guys play together?"

Moli: "Awoo."

Nibote: "Meow meow meow!"

Xie Juanhan sneered, "What do you mean they ran off with the flowerpots in their mouths?"

Nibote immediately rolled over, stood up, and led the way with his tail held high. "Meow!"

Soon, Xie Juanhan saw the marks left after the flowerpot went missing from the desk. Peeling back the animal skin, he found that a large part of the desk underneath was also charred.

Xie Juanhan touched the scorch marks. "When did this happen?"

Nibote didn't know. "Awoo."

Xie Juanhan looked at Yinzi, a little worried about Harper and the others. After thinking for a moment, he asked Moli, "Moli, do you know where they went?"

Moli: "Aww."

Xie Juanhan placed his hand under its nose. "Smell the scent of Harper and the others, see if you can lead me to them."

Moli sniffed, turned around and took two steps forward, then stopped and turned to look at Xie Juanhan.

Xie Juanhan then followed it.

Nibote immediately followed, indicating he wanted to go too. "Meow."

By sniffing and guessing, Moli finally led Xie Juanhan to the Companion Beast that were trapped halfway.

Xie Juanhan hadn't had a chance to criticize them yet.

The Companion Beast burst into tears first. "Chirp!"

The flowerpot is so heavy, and my teeth hurt so much!

Xie Juanhan watched as his Companion Beast rushed over and nuzzled against him, both amused and exasperated. "What are you doing chewing on flowerpots?"

Companion Beast: "Chirp chirp chirp!"

Xie Juanhan listened for a while and roughly understood.

Telingewei made the magical plants very strange, and even after they asked the Pixie for help, the magical plants didn't get better.

"No wonder Telingewei won't let me touch it these past two days." Xie Juanhan carefully examined the magical plant. "The elements inside are truly chaotic."

While examining the plant, Xie Juanhan casually used Blessing Magic in an attempt to restore it to normal.

Once the plant has recovered, quietly put it back, pretending you never noticed anything wrong with it.

Give Telingewei some face.

While Xie Juanhan was busy, he thought to himself that Telingewei was still secretly keeping this matter from him.

That's really fun.

It seems that Telingewei and Harper are quite similar.

Xie Juanhan thought to himself, and busied himself for half a day.

Then, after absorbing his Blessing Magic, the plant became even stranger.

There's a type of cooking where if the food is too sour, you add sugar; if there's too much sugar, you add spice; and if it's too spicy, you add salt to balance it out—the end result is a mess of flavors.

It's over.

Xie Juanhan looked at the plant with a troubled expression, thinking that now it was his turn to figure out a way to keep it from Telingewei.

==========Author's Note:=========

See you tomorrow!

Chapter 88 [VIP]

Xie Juanhan quietly placed the plant back on the desk.

Telingewei clearly takes a lot of care for this plant, waking up early every morning to check on it.

It was still dark that day.

Xie Juanhan lay on his side with his eyes closed.

Telingewei held him in his arms, his arms loosely wrapped around his waist, and they slept in that position for half the night.

Xie Juanhan liked this pose.

This position feels safe, especially in winter, as Telingewei's embrace is very warm.

Therefore, as soon as Telingewei removed his hand and created some distance, Xie Juanhan woke up.

He didn't open his eyes, and his breathing rhythm remained unchanged.

Telingewei looked at him in the sunlight streaming through the snow, and after a long while, as if she couldn't resist, she gently kissed his forehead.

After the kiss, Telingewei quietly got out of bed.

Xie Juanhan lay in bed listening to the sounds outside.

He heard Telingewei washing up outside, then he heard Telingewei go into the study and come out again, then he heard Telingewei open the fence gate to the yard, and then the footsteps disappeared completely.

Xie Juanhan knew that Telingewei was mostly out on inspection tours.

After he finishes his patrol, he will return with the prey, which will be ready for breakfast, while the prey will be saved for lunch or dinner.

In short, he's gone out and won't be back for a while.

Once he was sure the sound of his footsteps had disappeared, Xie Juanhan immediately got out of bed, wrapped himself in a bathrobe, put on animal hair slippers, and walked towards the study.

The little ones are all asleep in the study.

The firewood in the fireplace was crackling and popping, making the study warm and cozy.

The little ones lay on their mats in various positions.

The Griffin, in particular, lay on its back with its two hind legs spread apart, revealing a bit of its pink belly that hadn't yet Changmao.
