Xie Juanhan keenly sensed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chapter 128 [VIP]
"Lord Silver Dragon," the Weaving Fairies hesitated for a moment under Xie Juanhan's encouraging gaze, before finally speaking softly, "Could we buy some pumpkins?"
Xie Juanhan's first reaction. "You want to grow your hair?"
Xie Juanhan looked at the thick braids of the Weaving Fairies, adorned with flowers and jewels, beneath their pointed hats.
It's obvious that the Weaving Fairies don't need to eat any magical plants to make their hair grow thicker.
The Weaving Fairies shook their heads rapidly.
The lead Weaving Fairies said, "It's not us, it's for the Peryton."
Another Weaving Fairies chimed in, "We just signed an agreement with the Peryton to give them one last autumn shave."
The lead Weaving Fairies explained in detail, "If you eat pumpkin, your fur will increase, making it perfect for shaving all at once."
The Weaving Fairies' eyes lit up when they talked about hair.
Harper and the others listened nearby, and couldn't help but lick the soft fur on their bellies.
The next day, Peryton and his men were summoned.
This large group of deer-like Demonic Beast with wide wings listened to what the Weaving Fairies had to say, then looked at the large pumpkins placed beside them, their round eyes filled with confusion.
"Yo yo?" the Peryton exclaimed.
A Weaving Fairies flew to Peryton's head and gently touched its warm antlers with its little hand. "Look, these are the pumpkins. They're harmless to eat. Harper others have already eaten them."
Harper and the others, whose fur had just been trimmed yesterday, immediately let out loud "howls" to confirm this.
Peryton and his men watched their old rivals' performance with suspicion in their eyes.
Upon seeing this, the Weaving Fairies flew to the pumpkin, cupped the cut pieces in their hands, and offered them to the Peryton's lips.
The Peryton lifted their lips and made a "lip-sniffing" motion.
The sweet and rich aroma of pumpkin immediately filled the vomeronasal organs above their mouths.
It smells so good!
For the omnivorous, but herbivorous Peryton, the smell of pumpkin is incredibly tempting.
Several Peryton, smelling the pumpkin so close by, finally couldn't resist opening their mouths and tentatively taking a piece of pumpkin.
They chewed and chewed.
The more you chew, the brighter your eyes become.
Other Peryton are still observing.
After finishing a small piece of pumpkin, the few Peryton looked up at the expressions of their kin.
Before their kin could react, they quickly grabbed the second piece of pumpkin and began chewing rapidly.
The other Peryton, seeing their expressions, seemed to think, "We can't control them anymore!"
The Peryton stretched their necks to grab the pumpkins and began to chew them heartily.
They became more and more satisfied as they chewed.
Xie Juanhan and Telingewei observed the actions of Peryton and his group from the side.
The Peryton had just eaten the pumpkin and showed no unusual reaction.
About half an hour later, Peryton's hair began to grow longer.
Immediately afterwards, all of Peryton's hair began to grow longer and thicker.
They already knew that eating pumpkin Changmao, so they weren't particularly surprised.
Peryton even leisurely licked his body hair.
The Weaving Fairies watched in amazement as the fur grew on the Peryton's bodies, exclaiming, "Wow, what beautiful fur!"
Xie Juanhan also noticed.
The newly grown hair of the Peryton, untouched by daily wear and tear, was smooth, shiny, and very beautiful.
Not only the Peryton, Harper and the others also had very shiny and strong fur that had grown before.
They had been so focused on shaving the little ones to avoid disrupting their daily lives that they hadn't paid much attention to this.
Seeing the newly grown hair on the Peryton, Xie Juanhan fell into deep thought.
The Peryton looked down at their own body hair.
They simply lay down.
Long fur hangs down their bodies, and when they lie down, they look like beautiful fluffy balls.
Everyone patiently waited for the hair on the Peryton's bodies to grow back completely.
Xie Juanhan observed and noticed that the fur on the bodies of the Peryton was growing, but the feathers on their wings remained unchanged.
It seems that the Golden Vine Pumpkin is only effective on animal fur.
Finally, the hair on the Peryton reached its peak and stopped growing.
The Weaving Fairies excitedly flew down, carrying long combs and scissors, ready to shear the fur of the Peryton.
The Peryton shifted from a prone position to a kneeling position, jumped back, and protested. "Awooo!"
The Weaving Fairies pulled out gold coins and handed them to the Peryton to carry. "We know, you need to add gold coins for shearing."
Peryton: "Hmph!"
The Peryton, clutching the new gold coins given to them by the Weaving Fairies, lay obediently in place, letting the Weaving Fairies shear their fur.
The freshly cut Peryton wool was skillfully bundled into bunches by the Weaving Fairies and neatly arranged on the grass by the river.
These pale yellow, patterned animal hairs look like the strings of some kind of musical instrument.
Once they are woven into fabric, they will surely be dazzling.
Harper saw Xie Juanhan's eyes light up and whispered, "Chirp chirp."
They don't want nests made of their own fur.
Xie Juanhan casually ruffled Harper's hair. "Who said we were going to cut your fur to make a nest?"
Harper looked up. "Chirp?"
Xie Juanhan: "I'm looking for the Peryton."
The Peryton, whose fur was being sheared by the Weaving Fairies, turned around upon hearing the keyword. "Huh?"
Xie Juanhan stood in front of the Peryton: "Your fur has become thicker and more abundant, and your down feathers should have changed as well?"
Peryton feathers are the thin layer of fine hairs that lie beneath their Changmao and lie close to their skin, making them soft and fluffy.
Especially in winter, they rely on this layer of down feathers to resist the cold winds at high altitudes, providing excellent insulation.
Xie Juanhan exchanged down feathers with them many times to make bedding and pillows.
However, Harper and her family are still missing a nest.
Especially for Griffin as large as Nibote, its current nest is just an ordinary nest made of animal hair.
Upon seeing Xie Juanhan's gleaming eyes, the Peryton became even more wary. "Awooo?"
Xie Juanhan reassured them, "Theoretically speaking, the more Changmao on the outside, the more down feathers inside. If you're interested, I'd like to exchange down feathers with you."
The leader, Peryton, craned his neck and exclaimed, "Aww?!"
Xie Juanhan pressed his hand down slightly. "I know it costs extra to exchange for down like this. But this time I won't add gold coins; how about I just trade you some level-two magic wine?"
Upon hearing the keyword "Level Two Magical Wine," the Peryton, whose attitudes had been as firm as iron, immediately softened.
Level 2 Magical Wine!
With the breeding season fast approaching, they drink some magic wine to replenish their Magic Power, which will greatly benefit their reproduction.
The Peryton hesitated.
Xie Juanhan said, "It's almost late autumn, so we can't cut the down feathers. How about we comb them out? The down feathers that can be combed out are already shed down feathers, so combing them out in advance won't cause you too much of a negative impact..."
"Yo-hoo!" Before he could speak, the Peryton immediately chimed in.
"Yo-yo!" Peryton immediately raised his front hoof and pointed at Xie Juanhan.
I want the Silver Dragon's comb, not the Giant Dragon's comb!
Just as Telingewei had pulled out his fine-toothed comb and was about to step forward, he gave the Peryton a cool look.
The Peryton stubbornly raised their heads and insisted, "Yo!"
-The dragon's hand is black!
Xie Juanhan rubbed Telingewei's back. "I can comb it, but Telingewei can help me?"
Now the Peryton had no objections. "Aww!"
Xie Juanhan added, "Shall we comb the feathers first and see how many down feathers we can comb out, then switch to level two magic wine?"
The Peryton exclaimed in unison, "Yo!"
The Weaving Fairies smiled as they watched the Peryton's performance.
The fur on Peryton's body had already been trimmed, so it quickly changed its position and, before its kin could react, swiftly lay down in front of Xie Juanhan.
Xie Juanhan took the large comb he originally used to groom the Griffin and gently groomed the fur of his pet, Peryton, while also giving it a little Dragon Power.
Peryton immediately lay down, hooking his hooves to expose his belly.
When the plump and strong Peryton acted so cutely, it was met with disdain from all the little guys present, and even its own kind gave it a look that was hard to describe.
It didn't care at all, and instead called out to Xie Juanhan in a high-pitched voice, "Yo--yo--"
Xie Juanhan smiled and gave it a little Dragon Power, and its "yo" sound even produced a wave-like sound.
The Weaving Fairies trimmed the fur of the Peryton, removing only the Changmao on their bodies, leaving the thin layer of downy feathers close to their skin completely untouched.
Xie Juanhan used a long comb for grooming Nibote's fur.
Harper and her dogs don't shed much, and Moli doesn't shed much either.
Nibote, however, has a bit of a shedding monster vibe, perhaps because it's in its growth phase and its fur is constantly being replaced.
Xie Juanhan and Telingewei made a special comb for it, which works very well for combing down feathers.
With just a few quick strokes, Xie Juanhan combed out a thin layer of downy feathers.
Telingewei placed the basket in front of Xie Juanhan.
Xie Juanhan put the down feathers into the basket on his back, and soon the basket was filled with a thin layer of down feathers.
Peryton's fur was being combed, and Dragon Power flowed through his body, bringing a blissful and comfortable feeling.
It cooperated very obediently, raising its head when told to raise its head, turning over when told to turn over, and raising its hooves when told to raise its hooves.
Unfortunately, the wonderful time spent grooming always passes too quickly.
When Xie Juanhan patted its neck to indicate that it was done combing, it still rubbed its head against Xie Juanhan's palm reluctantly, unwilling to get up.
Until its kin stretched out their necks and took a bite of its rear end.
