Chapter 119: Continued

It stretched out its claws several times, but couldn't wipe it clean.

Enraged, it raised its head and bared its teeth at Telingewei: "Awooo!"

Telingewei picked up another bone, weighed it in his hand, and made a threatening gesture as if he were about to throw it at it.

Haxi quickly ran away.

Almost all the little ones love this soup.

Xie Juanhan cooked it several more times.

Besides making bone broth, he also makes fish soup, bird soup, and stem and tuber soup.

Every soup was delicious, and Nibote and his friends always drank until they were stuffed.

Within a few days, the furry creatures in the house were completely recovered.

Xie Juanhan held them in his arms and examined them one by one, paying particular attention to whether there was any discharge from their eyes and whether there were any unusual sounds in their chests.

The furry creatures are in very good condition and look very healthy.

Seeing the little ones regain their energy, Xie Juanhan breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, it's all right. I was worried that if it dragged on any longer, other problems would arise."

"Not long," Telingewei said, "They used to stay sick for one or two months at a time."

Why did it take so long?

"She doesn't take medicine much, and forcing her to take it doesn't work either; she's prone to vomiting, and it can even lead to more serious illnesses."

Hearing this, Xie Juanhan felt a pang of sadness and sympathetically put his arm around Telingewei's shoulder. "Raising a little guy is really not easy."

Telingewei: "I'm used to it."

The soup was very effective. Xie Juanhan casually mentioned it when Xie Juanhan and Telingewei were delivering vegetables to the Water Demon.

The Water Demon didn't quite understand why the medicine could turn into a delicious soup, but they nodded nonetheless.

This year, Xie Juanhan and Telingewei still traded vegetables from their fields for food with the Water Demon.

Sometimes, when they hunted a lot of Demonic Beast and fish, they would bring the ingredients over and ask the Water Demon to make them into meatballs, fishballs, smoked meat, dried fish, and other foods.

With so many furry friends at home, cooking for them alone is too tiring. It would be much easier if we could get some ingredients from outside.

The two dragons, carrying baskets on their backs, slowly walked along the fields back home.

In summer, the vegetation is lush, and the sounds of insects, both long and short, can be heard from the shady woods.

They talked, enjoying the cool breeze of the countryside, and didn't hurry.

In contrast, Moli and the others were much more anxious.

These furry creatures, with their sharp eyes, spotted them from afar as they made their way home from the edge of the field.

After waiting for a long time, they didn't get much closer.

Moli couldn't wait any longer. She rushed out of the house, wagging her tail and howling as she ran towards them.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Xie Juanhan held Moli's big wolf head, preventing it from nuzzling against his stomach.

"Awoo, awoo!" Moli let out a short cry, a warning sound.

Xie Juanhan roughly understood. "There's a problem over at the farmland? Have wild beasts or Demon Bird come?"

Moli shook his big head. "Aww!"

Xie Juanhan, still smiling, asked, "What's the question?"

Xie Juanhan looked up at the sky.

Today was sunny and mild, with a cool breeze blowing gently. There was no rain or wind at all.

What could possibly happen in the fields in this kind of weather?

Seeing Xie Juanhan's leisurely pace, Moli became anxious and grabbed his trouser leg, trying to drag him towards the farmland.

After Moli came to the family, he always took it upon himself to guard the farmland.

It's always calm and unhurried about other things, but it gets easily anxious and frustrated when problems arise in the fields.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei had no choice but to stuff the ingredients they had obtained into their spatial armbands and run after Moli.

The other furry creatures also value the farmland, but they are nowhere near as eager as Moli.

Even though something happened in the farmland, they were still happily running and frolicking on both sides of the road.

Upon reaching the vast farmland, Moli didn't stop but led them directly to the pumpkin patch. "Woof!"

The puppy's vocalizations even came out.

Xie Juanhan scratched the back of its head. "Don't rush, let me see. Aren't these pumpkin seedlings growing quite lushly?"

Moli slipped out from under Xie Juanhan's grasp, ran straight to the pumpkin patch, picked up a pumpkin vine, and gestured to Xie Juanhan and Telingewei: "Aww!"

The pumpkin vine that Moli picked up was entirely golden, except for its green leaves.

It's clearly the Golden Vine Pumpkin that was propagated by cuttings.

Xie Juanhan's family grows two kinds of pumpkins in their pumpkin patch.

One type is a pumpkin propagated from cuttings taken from the main plant of the Golden Vine Pumpkin.

There was only one plant in the entire farmland.

This real Golden Vine Pumpkin has a magic level slightly higher than a level one magic plant, but less than level two; it's considered a super level one magic plant.

Another type is a descendant of the Golden Vine Pumpkin, which Xie Juanhan and his team cultivated using pumpkin seeds.

This pumpkin has a slight Magic Power, very subtle, not even top-tier, but it's much better than ordinary vegetables.

Xie Juanhan plans to wait until they produce pumpkins, then extract the pumpkin seeds and extract oil for consumption.

Although the two types of pumpkins are of different grades and have different uses, Xie Juanhan still planted them together.

He planted Golden Vine Pumpkin in the middle field, and ordinary pumpkins in the fields around them.

The pumpkin vine that Moli picked from the ordinary pumpkin patch was entirely golden, clearly extraordinary.

Xie Juanhan exclaimed in surprise, "The pumpkin has evolved?"

Moli shook the wolf's head anxiously. "Woof."

Xie Juanhan walked into the farmland, picked up a pumpkin vine, and looked at it. "Why is it golden if it hasn't evolved?"

"It looks like the Golden Vine Pumpkin in the center," Telingewei remarked from the side.

Xie Juanhan had a bad feeling. "Huh? No way?"

Xie Juanhan immediately picked up the pumpkin vine in his hand and saw that the long vine stretched from the plot of land under their feet to more than ten meters away, to the plot in the very center of the pumpkin field.

This is indeed the Golden Vine Pumpkin.

It aggressively radiates outwards, occupying thousands of square meters of surrounding farmland.

The other pumpkin offspring, on the other hand, huddle together in the crevices of the Golden Vine Pumpkin, like quails in the cold wind.

When Xie Juanhan and his group looked around, they saw that most of the pumpkin seedlings were grown from Golden Vine Pumpkin.

Only in certain areas where the plants grow particularly lush can you find thin, ordinary pumpkin seedlings.

Based on this situation, this batch of ordinary pumpkin seedlings is definitely ruined.

Xie Juanhan looked at the Golden Vine Pumpkin seedlings under his hands, quite speechless. "If only we hadn't gone to all that trouble to plant so many ordinary pumpkins."

Telingewei: "Transplant them to other farmland?"

"It's too late." Xie Juanhan looked at the pumpkin seedlings. "They're almost flowering. The vines on the ground may not have grown much, but the root system underneath must be very developed. If we pull them up, the roots will be severed, and they'll have a hard time recovering."

Xie Juanhan asked Moli, "When did this Golden Vine Pumpkin start growing?"

Moli didn't know. "Ugh."

Seeing Xie Juanhan's expression, Moli stomped its paws in grievance: "Awoo--Awoo--"

From a distance, all the pumpkin seedlings looked the same. Moli wasn't good at distinguishing plants, and by the time it discovered them, the Golden Vine Pumpkin had already become the dominant species in the field.

It really didn't know when the Golden Vine Pumpkin had grown outside.

Xie Juanhan rubbed Moli's head.

Well, this really can't be blamed on a Demon Wolf.

He and Telingewei would come to the farm every few days, but they didn't notice anything unusual about the Golden Vine Pumpkin.

The only difference between Golden Vine Pumpkin and regular pumpkins is their vines; otherwise, they are essentially the same.

They had inspected the fields so many times and seen the pumpkin vines, but they only thought that the pumpkins were growing exceptionally well this year due to the fertilizer. They never imagined that the Golden Vine Pumpkin had grown outside.

Xie Juanhan comforted Moli, "It's alright. Although it exceeded our plans, the Golden Vine Pumpkin is of better quality than ordinary pumpkins, so it's a pleasant surprise."

Moli looked at the pumpkin.

This Demon Wolf has a bit of OCD and doesn't really like surprises that aren't part of the plan.

It licked its lips, but had no other choice, so it gave up.

The Golden Vine Pumpkin have almost taken over the entire pumpkin patch, leaving no room for ordinary pumpkins to grow, which then grow very thin and weak.

In this situation, even if you keep the seedlings of ordinary pumpkins, they will not be able to flower and bear fruit.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei then took the time to pull up the pumpkin seedlings.

The pumpkin seedlings are only half-grown and haven't yet reached the lignification stage; the vines are very tender and brittle.

Xie Juanhan originally intended to use these pumpkin vines to feed the silverfish and then exchange them for some hair with the Peryton.

When the pumpkin vine is broken, fragrant juice oozes out.

Xie Juanhan looked at the bunches of pumpkin vines in his hand and decided to cook them.

Before he came to this world, Xie Juanhan had a habit of eating pumpkin vines in the summer.

Pick the leaves off the pumpkin vines you bought from outside, peel off the outer skin, and cut them into short sections.

Heat lard and minced garlic in a wok over high heat and stir-fry. It tastes like a summer specialty.

Pumpkin vines are now being stir-fried in this world.

The initial processing steps were the same, and the stir-frying method was also the same, but the taste was subtly different.

The fragrant, emerald-green pumpkin vines quickly change color in the high temperature of the oil.

The fat gives the pumpkin vine a unique moisture, bringing out its distinctive fragrance.

The stir-fried pumpkin vines are crisp, tender, and sweet, making a satisfying crunch when you chew them.

As they ate the stir-fried pumpkin vines, it was as if they were tasting the many days and nights, the years nourished by winter frost and spring dew, sunrise and sunset.

"It tastes really good!" Xie Juanhan discussed with Telingewei, "Shall we Golden Vine Pumpkin vines to try tomorrow?"

In the hallway, the furry creatures, already enjoying their stir-fried pumpkin vines in their respective food bowls, chirped in unison, "Chirp!"

Moli, who was usually quiet, answered the loudest this time, "Awoo!"
