Chapter 108
The Companion Beast outside remained silent.
Telingewei was puzzled.
He extinguished the firewood in the stove, went outside, and intended to call them.
Harper was quietly leading the furry creatures out of the study.
Each of their furry mouths held a glittering gold coin.
Harper saw Telingewei, said nothing, but walked up to her and gently placed the gold coin from his mouth at Telingewei feet.
It glanced at Telingewei, then at the gold coins.
Telingewei raised an eyebrow slightly.
Other furry creatures lined up and put down the gold coins they were carrying.
Ten gold coins were lined up at Telingewei's feet.
Harper remained silent, placed the gold coins, and then turned and walked out with the little ones.
Only Haxi took two steps away, then ran back and stood at the feet of Telingewei.
It stared directly into Telingewei's eyes, then opened its mouth and uttered, "Hetui!"
After spitting out the word, Haxi turned his head and ran off.
- That wretched dragon! Don't even think about messing with the beasts anymore! Squeak!!!

Chapter 108 [VIP]
Harper and the others just ran off, leaving only their furry bottoms in Telingewei's sight.
Even Moli was "heartless" and didn't look back at all.
Telingewei stared at their disappearing figures, lost in thought.
"Clatter."
A slight noise came from above Telingewei's head.
He reached out and touched it, plucking off a petal.
Turning his head, Xie Juanhan was leaning against the kitchen doorframe, looking at him. "Who knows what's going on? Getting angry, huh? The game's over, isn't it?"
Telingewei: "... An unexpected turn of events."
Xie Juanhan walked out of the kitchen with a smile, took Telingewei's hand, and said, "Let's go, let's go pick Star Berry ourselves."
Without the help of the little ones, the two dragons had to take matters into their own hands.
A few days later, the Star Berry in the fields had ripened considerably.
Xie Juanhan and Telingewei picked the berries that were at their ripest.
After picking for only a short while, their hands were already stained with the rich, sweet aroma of Star Berry.
Xie Juanhan washed the picked Star Berry with spring water, drained them, and then he and Telingewei used a knife to remove the seeds from the Star Berry, leaving only the pulp.
They grind and sieve the fruit pulp, mix it with lukewarm syrup, starch, and other ingredients, knead it, and then let it rise to obtain Star Berry gummies.
Xie Juanhan held a translucent orange gummy candy in his hand. "It looks like the orange candy I ate before."
Telingewei recalled those green oranges, "Sour."
"It won't be sour if we make it into candy." Xie Juanhan became interested. "Let's make some molds and imprint some patterns on the gummy candies."
Making sugar from Ajax Tuber is much more efficient than making sugar from Princess Tina Flower alone.
Xie Juanhan used most of the syrup he made to make soft candies, and they were all exquisite soft candies with patterns printed on them.
They made two flavors in total.
One type is a light green leaf-shaped gummy, and the other is an orange-yellow Star Berry gummy.
They make a lot of gummies.
Xie Juanhan planned to send a copy to his friends, so he summoned the little messenger birds to help.
"Chirp chirp!"
"Coo coo!"
"Chirp--Chirp--"
The little messenger birds flapped their wings and flew in from all directions, landing on the corridor of Xie Juanhan's house.
After finishing the Xie Juanhan fed it, it flapped its wings and flew off in all directions, carrying the small bundles on its claws.
For friends who lived far away, Xie Juanhan asked the carrier birds to deliver the messages, while for friends who lived nearby, he had them deliver the messages himself.
"Harper, Moli, Nibote, you split into three groups," Xie Juanhan, holding the packages and discussing with the furry creatures. "This one is for the Pixie, this one for the Demon Wolf, and this one for the Water Demon, is that alright?"
The little ones obediently walked forward and snatched the package from Xie Juanhan's hands. "Aww!"
Telingewei had been too overbearing before.
The little ones are giving him the silent treatment; whenever he calls, they turn around and face away with their backsides.
Now, if we need to ask the little ones to do chores, Xie Juanhan has to ask them personally.
Harper looked at the packages her friends were carrying, then at Xie Juanhan: "Chirp?"
Xie Juanhan: "We also need to deliver to the textile fairies' place, so we'll go deliver there and make you some custom-made summer homes."
Harper stood up and nuzzled Xie Juanhan's fingers with her head. "Chirp."
The little ones all set off, Xie Juanhan and Telingewei also set off carrying their baskets.
The weather has been sunny and dry lately, so the Weaving Fairies have put their weaving racks out again.
The shimmering fabric stretched on the textile rack looked as if a rainbow from the sky had flowed directly onto the rack.
"Ah! Lord Silver Dragon, Lord Giant Dragon!"
A Weaving Fairies flying atop the weaving rack noticed their arrival, flapped her wings, waved her little hands, and greeted them softly.
The other textile fairies were startled and flew to the top of the textile rack.
"We've come to you to order summer clothes," Xie Juanhan said with a wave of his hand and a smile, "And we'll also bring you some homemade gummy candies."
When the Weaving Fairies heard that they had brought gifts, they immediately spread out a huge picnic mat in the forest.
Various beverages, such as Kronen tea, tree sap drinks, and mead, were laid out on the picnic mat, surrounded by cakes, berries, and edible tender leaves.
The gummy candies were also carefully placed on top by the Weaving Fairies.
The pale green leaf-shaped gummies and the orange-yellow fruit-shaped gummies, decorated with patterns, looked absolutely beautiful on the crystal plate.
Before the Weaving Fairies even tasted it, they were captivated by the beautiful candy. "Lord Silver Dragon, Lord Giant Dragon, you are so amazing!"
Xie Juanhan: "You guys are really impressive, you actually put out so many pastries."
Xie Juanhan pulled Telingewei to sit on the picnic blanket.
A Weaving Fairies carrying a teapot flew into the air and poured them milky-yellow tea, and then offered them pastries.
Meanwhile, the Weaving Fairies held the gummy candies in both hands, their eyes sparkling as they ate, casting admiring glances at Xie Juanhan as they ate.
Xie Juanhan couldn't resist gently stroking the hair of the little male demon Luli.
Having morning tea with the Weaving Fairies in the forest is indeed a rare experience.
Xie Juanhan held a small flower-shaped teacup in his hand, listening to the Weaving Fairies chattering about what was happening in the Magic Forest.
Among the magical creatures, intelligent beings are generally quite well-informed, but the most well-informed of all are the Weaving Fairies.
Perhaps it's because they're familiar with the Demon Bird, or perhaps they're in the textile business and have a wide range of information sources.
Xie Juanhan was listening to various interesting stories from the forest when he suddenly heard the Weaving Fairies mention a certain kind of fish.
He didn't understand at first and interrupted, asking, "What kind of fish?"
A Weaving Fairies said in a soft voice, "The One-Bone Fish, a particularly delicious fish, only migrates once every few years. Recently, some Demon Bird have spotted them appearing in the surrounding bays."
Xie Juanhan looked at Telingewei and said, "Why does this name sound so familiar?"
Telingewei: "The kind of fish I told you about, with thick bones, tender flesh, and a refreshing and delicious soup. It only has one main bone, hence the name 'One-Bone Fish'."
One of the Weaving Fairies exclaimed, "Yes, yes, the fish soup it makes is delicious!"
Xie Juanhan was somewhat tempted. He glanced at Telingewei and asked, "Are you planning to go out to sea to collect whale oil soon?"
Telingewei nodded.
Xie Juanhan: Shall we go out and catch some fish?
Telingewei was about to nod again.
The Weaving Fairies asked, "Are you going fishing? If so, we'll make you some custom-made gold thread."
Xie Juanhan: "Gold thread?"
"Yes, only the golden thread woven by the dwarfs can catch One-Bone Fish."
"Otherwise, it would flee and burrow into another world as soon as it sees any other creature."
"The dragon lord said he couldn't catch it, so he asked us to help him customize gold thread."
Xie Juanhan had never heard of such a thing before. "They couldn't even catch Telingewei, so they had to fish him out?"
The Weaving Fairies nodded in agreement. "Many creatures are currently ordering custom gold thread; we need to expedite the process."
Xie Juanhan looked at Telingewei.
Telingewei nodded. "Twelve bundles, please."
Xie Juanhan didn't understand what this number represented, but the Weaving Fairies were surprised. "Twelve bundles? That's sixty gold coins!"
Telingewei confirmed, "Twelve bundles are needed. Please have the dwarves gift you twelve fishhooks."
As he spoke, Telingewei took out sixty-two gold coins from his spatial arm ring, counted them, and handed them to the Weaving Fairies.
Sixty coins are the order fee, and two coins are the handling fee for asking the Weaving Fairies for help.
The Weaving Fairies were astonished by Telingewei's extravagance and stared at him several times.
However, seeing the shiny gold coins, they didn't ask any questions and obediently went to place their order for the gold thread.
On the way back, Xie Juanhan asked, "Twelve bundles of gold thread, are we going to make twelve fishing rods?"
Telingewei: "Every time One-Bone Fish comes along, Harper and the others ask to go fishing. If we don't provide them with fishing rods, they get angry."
"No," Xie Juanhan, looking at him. "If you order that much every time, the Weaving Fairies certainly won't be surprised."
Telingewei admitted, "Harper and the others are too small; we used to use two of them on one fishing rod."
"So, to appease them, you specially ordered a fishing rod for each of them, right?"
Xie Juanhan couldn't help but laugh, "A fishing rod that costs five gold coins to make?"
Telingewei nodded silently.
"That's a huge loss, isn't it?" Xie Juanhan's smile widened. "We only need to pay them one gold coin for each one we bet on."
Telingewei said in a deep voice, "We can't let them cheat."
