Chapter 94
White Dragon carried Telingewei away and flew off. Hearing the shouts behind him, he wanted to say, "Stop shouting! You'll just inhale more polluted air!"
And: Nibote, don't you have a more respectable way to get revenge?!
After flying quite a distance, Xie Juanhan put Telingewei down and transformed back into human form. "Alright, no need to watch anymore, Nibote definitely won't be bullied."
Telingewei nodded in agreement. "I've learned the essence of Harper's style."
So that's what they learned from Harper and the others.
Xie Juanhan took a deep breath. "Let's go back and properly plant the aquatic plants."
He's let the Peryton down; perhaps planting some tasty aquatic plants would be a good way to comfort these poor creatures.

See you tomorrow!
Chapter 94 [VIP]
In the fields, various plants began to sprout tender buds.
These buds are mostly brown, yellow, and whitish-green; as they bask in the sunlight, they gradually turn green.
The landscape was finally less monotonous.
Against this backdrop, Xie Juanhan began cultivating new land.
He replanned the planting area, cultivating a long strip of land along the river.
In the center of the planting area, a pond sits.
Upstream and downstream along the pond, Xie Juanhan reclaimed at least several dozen acres of farmland.
These farmlands use silt brought in by rivers as their base soil.
Xie Juanhan then poured in humus soil obtained from the forest and sea mud dredged up last year to improve soil permeability and increase fertility.
After proper mixing, the soil in these farmlands becomes dark and loose, clearly indicating abundant fertility, which will result in excellent crops.
That day, before the official planting, Xie Juanhan pulled Telingewei over to disinfect the soil one last time.
Before Telingewei disinfected with Dragon Flame, he had already frozen these neat strips of farmland with cold air.
However, it would be safer to burn it again with Dragon Flame.
"Is this the place?" Telingewei asked.
"Yes, start burning from here. We'll go through all the fields." Xie Juanhan patted Telingewei on the shoulder. "It's up to you."
Telingewei: "I'll use the dragon shape to burn."
Xie Juanhan nodded, took a few steps back, and made room for him.
Telingewei transformed back into his dragon form, trying to compress his size as much as possible, but he still had to stand on the opposite bank of the river to find a place to stand.
He found the right spot and unleashed Dragon Flame at the newly plowed, dark farmland.
The scorching Dragon Flame seemed to ignite the air instantly, Xie Juanhan could clearly see the air distorting.
The surrounding temperature also rose, and the farmland instantly transformed from early spring to midsummer.
The temperature of the Dragon Flame is so high.
Fortunately, Telingewei did not spray the Dragon Flame directly at the soil; he precisely controlled the Dragon Flame above the soil and controlled the amount.
Rather than saying that Dragon Flame is used to disinfect and sterilize the soil, it is more accurate to say that it kills the insect eggs and microorganisms inside by baking at high temperatures.
They're making quite a fuss over here.
The little ones could sense it from a great distance.
"Chirp--"
Led by their Companion Beast, they raced all the way from afar.
The Demon Wolf followed behind them.
The Griffin, on the other hand, flew crookedly at low altitudes.
Nibote had already completed the first phase of the course with Peryton and his colleagues.
It knows the theory and the techniques; all that's left is diligent and long-term practice.
Xie Juanhan watched them rushing towards him and shouted, "Be careful, don't fall!"
"Chirp!" Harper yelled and led his friends to the edge of the field to watch.
The dragon's outburst of Dragon Flame was quite a spectacle.
The bright white flames spewed out by the black dragon were a spectacular sight.
The little ones squatted on the edge of the field, watching.
Wherever the dragon spits, they follow.
Following behind, the Companion Beast became restless, tentatively opening their mouths as if to spit fireballs into the farmland.
In that instant, the dragon transformed back into human form and swiftly grabbed Haxi by the neck, who was about to vomit into the field.
Haxi, with a mouthful of fireball in his mouth and his cheeks and forehead being lifted, chimed in, "Chirp?"
It means, why Telingewei can, but it can't.
Telingewei: "Because you're not a dragon, and you weren't asked by A-Han."
"Chirp!" Haxi protested.
The other Companion Beast chimed in, "Chirp!"
Xie Juanhan rushed over. "It's not the dragon's problem, it's that if the fireballs are spat directly onto the soil, they'll easily burn the soil and make it compacted, so they can't spit them out."
Haxi, still somewhat defiant with his neck being grabbed, scoffed, "Chirp?"
"Really." Xie Juanhan patted Telingewei's arm, signaling him to let go of Haxi. "Just look at him spitting on the edge of the field and you'll see."
As soon as Haxi was released, he vomited on the edge of the field without hesitation.
The other little creatures moved in perfect unison, opening their mouths and spitting out fireballs.
The ridges of the fields were instantly illuminated by dazzling lights, like firecrackers exploding silently.
The temperature is synchronized with the light.
Moli's wolf paw was burned, startling it so much that it took several steps back. "Ouch."
Nibote, who had just landed, also jumped back, his tail popping out into a fluffy ball. "Awooo?"
Xie Juanhan's expression remained unchanged. "See, I wasn't lying to you, was I?"
Haxi tilted its head and pawed at the spot where it had spat out the fireball, only stopping when it found it was indeed hardened and compacted.
Telingewei grabbed it by the scruff of its neck and gently lifted it away. "If you're not strong enough, don't cause trouble."
Haxi, furious, scratched him with her paws that had just been scratching the dirt. "Ouch!"
Habu and the others immediately joined in, scratching as well.
Seeing that they were about to fight, Xie Juanhan said, "Don't fight yet, do me a favor."
Moli ran over immediately. "Awoo?"
Xie Juanhan looked at the demonic Demon Wolf that was sitting properly at his feet and stroked it with satisfaction. "Good wolf."
The other little ones immediately rushed over and squatted down at his feet. "Aww!"
Xie Juanhan took out ten cloth bags from his spatial armband. "Didn't we say we were going to plant seeds in the forest in the spring? You guys help me carry the seeds to the forest, and they'll fall off by themselves when we run."
The children were drawn to the cloth bag in Xie Juanhan's hand and looked at it curiously.
Moli even took a sniff.
Xie Juanhan used a wide leather strap to secure the bags to their backs one by one. "Once we get to the forest, bite open the slits at the bottom and try not to stay in one place for too long."
The little ones received their task. "Aww!"
"Let's venture deeper into the forest and see if we can spread the seeds over a wider area."
After Xie Juanhan finished speaking, he gently patted Moli on the back. "Go have fun, just come back for dinner in the evening."
The little ones ran out excitedly, shouting "Aww-- Aww--"
Xie Juanhan watched them leave, brushed the dust off his hands, and turned to Telingewei, asking, "Shall we continue?"
Telingewei watched Harper and the others walk away and said, "Why are they so much more well-behaved when they're with you?"
Xie Juanhan blinked. "Because you like me."
Xie Juanhan moved slightly closer to him, lowered his voice, and said with a smile in his eyes, "Haven't you noticed? You love me, and your Companion Beast especially like me."
Telingewei's ears turned slightly red. "Mmm."
Xie Juanhan gently nudged Telingewei's shoulder. "Could you help me finish drying the rest of the soil?"
Telingewei: "Okay."
Xie Juanhan watched as Telingewei transformed into a giant dragon and diligently dried the soil, his smile deepening.
Telingewei probably didn't realize that he resembled the Companion Beast quite a bit.
Their personalities are exactly the same.
The soil only needs to be dried once; there's no need to turn it over and sun-dry it again.
Given the current temperature of the sun, the drying effect of turning the item over to dry won't be very good.
Xie Juanhan looked towards the opposite bank of the river.
The people on the other side of the river have been delayed in starting their farming season due to insufficient temperatures.
It's only February now; generally speaking, locals don't officially start their year-round farming until April.
The locals' planting cycle is actually much shorter than Xie Juanhan's.
That's normal, though.
The crops that people grow are not magical plants, so their growth cycle is naturally shorter.
After the soil was turned over and dried, Xie Juanhan and Telingewei first transplanted the Star Berry that were growing near the hot spring.
Xie Juanhan plans to transform the vacant farmland near the hot springs into breeding fields.
Last year, they unexpectedly harvested pumpkins from the Golden-Horned Deer. Xie Juanhan plans to plant more pumpkins and use the pumpkin seeds to extract oil.
If they plant again this year, Xie Juanhan is confident that he can upgrade most of the pumpkins to the level of a first-class magical plant, while the Golden Vine Pumpkin should be able to be upgraded to the level of a second-class magical plant.
Besides pumpkins, they also need to hurry up and cultivate rice seedlings.
The rice is just ordinary rice; it doesn't qualify as a magical plant yet.
Xie Juanhan plans to spend about five years cultivating rice into a first-level magical plant.
To change the characteristics of rice, we need to inject more "Dragon Power" into the rice this year, and we also need to be more careful in planting. We need to plan well from the beginning of breeding.
Xie Juanhan wasn't in a hurry. He couldn't calculate the spatial coordinates to go home, so he couldn't go back for the time being. He had plenty of time to spend on planting.
Everything is coming back to life.
Not only the plants, but the animals in the Magic Forest have also become active.
Xie Juanhan and Telingewei were cultivating rice seedlings near the hot springs when many Demon Bird flew by in the distance.
The shadow of the Demon Bird fell on the paddy field, creating a unique scene together with the blue sky and white clouds.
Xie Juanhan had grown accustomed to these scenes, and seeing them again still brought him great pleasure.
When he is in such a place, he can always think of lines of poetry such as "White egrets fly over the vast paddy fields".
It was as if he had never left his hometown.
Xie Juanhan had a smile on his lips, and Telingewei, who had been watching him closely, couldn't help but smile along with him.
