Chapter 88 (continued)

Xie Juanhan glanced at it, pulled a blanket over its belly, and then went to look at the Magic Wand Plant.

Today, the Magic Wand Plant are also bare, looking no different from before.

Xie Juanhan could feel the Magic Power flowing even more intensely when he placed his hand on it.

Telingewei should have just dealt with it this morning.

Xie Juanhan himself and carefully channeled Dragon Power into the wand, trying to squeeze out any miscellaneous Magic Power within.

After arriving in this world, his understanding of Dragon Power deepened considerably, and his application of Dragon Power became more refined than before.

He bundled the Dragon Power into a bundle, allowing it to permeate every corner of the Magic Wand Plant.

Perhaps in just three to five days, the other strange Magic Power within the Magic Wand Plant will be washed away.

Xie Juanhan closed his eyes and made his judgment in his mind.

As long as Telingewei stops trying to inject Magic Power or anything else into it, it will probably return to normal soon.

Xie Juanhan opened his eyes as he thought this.

Then he saw Telingewei in front of him.

"?!!" Xie Juanhan's eyes widened in shock.

Telingewei was standing in front of him, looking down at his hand that he hadn't yet managed to retract.

Xie Juanhan also looked down and silently withdrew his hand.

Xie Juanhan rubbed his forehead. "I thought I'd handle it all and give you a surprise."

"I'm pleasantly surprised now." Telingewei looked at the Magic Wand Plant. "These past two days I've felt it's getting better and better, and I thought it was my efforts working out, but I didn't expect it was you who helped."

Xie Juanhan told the truth, "Actually, I wasn't much of a help."

"No, if you hadn't helped, it probably would have been killed by my fire-attribute Dragon Power long ago."

"It's not that bad." Xie Juanhan looked at Telingewei and smiled, "Your Dragon Power is actually full of vitality."

Telingewei's expression became somewhat subtle.

Xie Juanhan wanted to cover his face again. "From a certain perspective..."

"Chirp!"

The two dragons are currently in love.

Five, six, seven, eight—eight heads peeked out from the doorway.

The Companion Beast blinked, indicating that they had also helped.

A large wolf head and a Griffin head squeezed out from above the Companion Beast, also watching the spectacle.

Telingewei stared at them expressionlessly, his eyes questioning why they were there.

The Companion Beast looked back at them with righteous indignation.

"Chirp!"

- Companion Beast are everywhere.

Xie Juanhan said, "We really have to Harper and the others for their help. They even helped find Pixie to bless the Magic Wand Plant."

Telingewei nodded. "I know."

Xie Juanhan looked at the Magic Wand Plant: "Unfortunately, the blessings from the Pixie and my own have only made the Magic Power inside more chaotic. What's even stranger is that with such chaotic Magic Power, it's actually growing better?"

Telingewei: "This is what mutated magical plants look like."

Xie Juanhan reached out and fiddled with it. "I was wondering why I couldn't find any information about it in the encyclopedia. Is this already considered a mutated magical plant?"

Telingewei nodded. "From the moment it sprouts a bud, it becomes a mutated plant. Ordinary wands, even after undergoing multiple processing steps, could never sprout a bud."

Since it is a mutant plant, it is not surprising that its growth pattern is completely different from that of conventional plants.

Xie Juanhan used his Dragon Power to cleanse it twice more, then left it alone, letting it grow on the desk.

At most, if either he or Telingewei remembers, they might infuse it with a little Dragon Power.

Xie Juanhan had already discovered that this Magic Wand Plant survived by relying on Magic Power.

Magic Power in a broad sense.

His and Telingewei's Dragon Power is its best nourishment.

The Magic Wand Plant seemed to have found the outside world safe and stopped hiding.

In just a few days, it grew many dark green branches and leaves, turning into a sprawling shrub.

Xie Juanhan gave it a larger flowerpot, and it unceremoniously filled the pot again.

Xie Juanhan changed the pot three times, and the Magic Wand Plant finally stopped growing.

It turned into a shrub, and the wood and pot together weighed at least a hundred pounds.

Xie Juanhan couldn't put it on the desk anymore, so he placed it in a corner of the study.

Its shape is rather unique and unrestrained; placed in a corner, it can be considered a nice decorative item.

Xie Juanhan had originally wanted to place a long, locally styled rug under the flowerpots, which would have looked better.

Unfortunately, it can spew Dragon Flame.

After a corner of the long carpet was burned off, Xie Juanhan stopped trying to stuff things under its flowerpots.

Xie Juanhan was a bit troubled by this Magic Wand Plant that could spew Dragon Flame, but the little ones liked it very much.

They play with this plant almost every day.

This day was no exception.

After Xie Juanhan finished washing up in the morning, the little ones were already playing with the Magic Wand Plant.

Xie Juanhan looked out the window.

The little creatures worked together, using their claws and teeth to pull the heavy Magic Wand Plant out and move it to the middle of the study.

Then, they crouched in a circle around the Magic Wand Plant, heads facing outwards and rear ends facing inwards, with their rear ends facing the Magic Wand Plant.

They were having so much fun that they were completely unaware that Xie Juanhan was watching them from behind the window.

All the little ones, lie down.

Harper called out, "Chirp?"

The other little ones. "Aww!"

Hearing his friends' response, Harper excitedly stretched out his paw and slapped the wooden board in front of him, sending it flying.

The flying plank hit the bookshelf.

A stone ball on the bookshelf lost its balance and rolled down under the force of gravity, landing right on the Magic Wand Plant.

When the Magic Wand Plant's umbrella-like branches were hit by the stone ball, it immediately spat out a pool of lava.

"Puff--"

Lava flowed downwards, and all the little creatures, with their backs to the Magic Wand Plant, couldn't see where the lava would land. They could only instinctively swish their tails.

"Ouch!" Haxi's tail was burned to a point, and it immediately darted out, slapping the floor with its tail to extinguish the flames.

The other little guys shouted "Awoo!" to indicate that it had lost.

Haxi tidied up its tail, licked the burned spot, and chirped with bright eyes, "Chirp!"

It indicates that we can do it again.

The little ones quickly put the stone ball back and retrieved the board, ready to play the second round.

They lay back to back, with their rear ends facing the Magic Wand Plant, ready to wait for the Magic Wand Plant to spew lava.

Seeing this, Xie Juanhan wondered if he and Telingewei hadn't been spending enough time with the kids lately.

Otherwise, why would the little ones play such a dangerous game?

This Magic Wand Plant is almost level three.

If they were to get a good burn, the tip of their tail would definitely turn red and swollen.

Xie Juanhan looked at their tails.

Each of them had scorch marks on its tail.

The baby Griffin's tail is originally the most beautiful part, with a Changmao ball at the end.

Now it's burned bald, revealing a round, sticky tail, like a little pig's tail.

Xie Juanhan took a deep breath and called for Telingewei in the kitchen.

The little guys didn't even glance at the sound, continuing to wait for the Magic Wand Plant to spew lava.

Telingewei came out immediately. "What's wrong?"

Xie Juanhan said seriously, "How about we take the little ones out more these next couple of days to burn off some of their energy?"

Telingewei: "What are we playing?"

Xie Juanhan thought for a moment, "Hunting and gathering? It's almost the beginning of spring, so we can do a big gathering event for the Spring Festival."

The local area also has a Lichun (Beginning of Spring) day.

However, the creatures here don't really care about the Beginning of Spring, and they don't have the same concept of the Spring Festival as Xie Juanhan's hometown.

The biggest festival here throughout the year is the Goddess Festival in early winter.

Although the goddesses worshipped by different ethnic groups are different, each ethnic group holds a grand ceremony.

Humans, in particular, will hold street parades.

Telingewei: "Going out today?"

Xie Juanhan, seeing that the Magic Wand Plant had already spewed out its second pool of lava, nodded. "Let's start today."

The little ones heard their conversation, but didn't seem very interested.

Xie Juanhan said, "In my hometown, the Spring Festival is the biggest festival of the year. We celebrate together the passing of the old year and the arrival of the new year."

Telingewei: "Is the Spring Festival a human-originated festival? They have always been very sensitive to the passage of time and pay great attention to the changing of the seasons."

"Hmm." Xie Juanhan explained while keeping an eye on the children, "That's why during the Spring Festival, relatives and friends try to meet up and exchange greetings."

Harper, amidst her busy schedule, chimed, as if asking if the Spring Festival was fun.

Xie Juanhan: "I think it's a lot of fun. We'll set off fireworks, buy toys for the kids, and give them some money as New Year's money."

"Most importantly—" Xie Juanhan drawled, "We make a lot of delicious food every Spring Festival."

The little ones' pointed ears all stood up.

Even the Griffin strained its round ears to try and find out what delicious food was coming.

Xie Juanhan indeed announced the menu, "The dinner on the eve of the Spring Festival will be exceptionally lavish, with all kinds of fish, shrimp, meat, vegetables, fruit juice, and sweet drinks—"

"If you move here, you'll probably find all sorts of cakes, candies, ice cream, braised meat, aspic, fried fish cakes, fried meatballs..."

Xie Juanhan could even finish announcing the names of the dishes, the little ones' mouths were already watering.

The Griffin was listening intently when the Magic Wand Plant spat out a puddle of lava, which just grazed its tail as it flew past.

It got singed, jumped up with a "whoosh," and turned its head to look, only to find that another patch of its tail was bald.
