Xie Juanhan's smile widened, "That's right, we won't throw berries at a dragon."

Chapter 135 [VIP]
Xie Juanhan and his group hadn't been to the mage tower for a long time; the surrounding area remained desolate and dilapidated.
It was late autumn.
Beneath the dilapidated mage tower, the grass and trees are withered and yellow.
The climbing vines that grew along the mage's tower were also lifeless.
If Xie Juanhan and Telingewei hadn't actually interacted with the Pixie, they would have found it hard to imagine that a race of Pixie actually lived here.
They reached the top of the mage tower. The surroundings were still very quiet; apart from the chirping of insects and birds and the distant roars of beasts, there were virtually no other sounds.
"Chirp chirp?" The Companion Beast tilted their heads and looked around, their big eyes full of confusion.
"They really live here." Xie Juanhan patted Harper's head. "You'll see in a bit."
The dragon then let out a soft roar, a sound like muffled thunder that carried far and wide.
There seemed to be some movement in the surrounding space.
It was a rustling sound, not very clear.
Xie Juanhan listened intently for a moment, then channeled a bit of Dragon Power into the withered vegetation before him.
Under the influence of the Dragon Power, the plants that had been dormant were awakened, and they quickly sprouted new buds, turning a small patch of green and stretching out freely in the cold wind.
The breath of life spread in all directions.
"Chirp?" A sound came from the bottom of the mage tower.
Then, large, light brown eyes peeked out from the crack in the rock.
Fortunately, there were several pairs of eyes.
Xie Juanhan waved in the direction from which the commotion came. "Long time no see, it's us, the dragons of the Magic Forest."
"Chirp chirp!" Once heard clearly, the sounds from the cracks in the rocks immediately soared up, their delicate voices carrying a distinct joy.
Immediately afterwards, several small Pixie with large green wings, wearing fluffy hats, and with skin that was slightly honey-colored appeared.
They were also holding fluffy white balls of fur in their arms.
It's a big-eyed flying squirrel with a flat tail!
Harper and the others stared wide-eyed when they first saw this race of Pixie.
It seems that every race of Pixie has a natural affinity for furry magical creatures.
As soon as these Pixie appeared, their eyes lit up when they saw Harper and the others.
"Chirp chirp." The Pixie greeted Xie Juanhan, clearly remembering them.
"Chirp." Habu chirped softly, surprised that the Pixie here chirped differently from the Pixie in the Magic Forest.
Haxi stepped on Habu's paw, signaling it not to act like it had never seen the world before.
That's utterly shameful.
Xie Juanhan smiled and said, "Long time no see. We were going out to see some friends and stopped by to visit you. I hope we haven't bothered you."
"Chirp chirp!" The Pixie immediately chirped playfully, indicating they wouldn't disturb them.
Xie Juanhan asked, "How have you all been lately? Has the sick little flying squirrel recovered?"
Before he could finish speaking, a small, snow-white flying squirrel flew out and circled in front of Xie Juanhan, squeaking.
The Pixie on its back greeted it energetically, "Chirp!"
Xie Juanhan chuckled, "It seems you've fully recovered and grown up."
Telingewei transformed back into human form and said in return, "It seems you've been doing quite well lately."
The Pixie: "Chirp chirp."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xie Juanhan took out the gifts he had brought for the Pixie from his spatial armband.
"These are our homemade magic candies and magic liquor. Please try them."
"Fabric is a specialty product of our area, woven by Weaving Fairies. Our Pixie occasionally order clothes from them, and we hope you'll like it too."
"The five bottles on the far right are our homemade jams and preserves, mainly made with magic berries."
Xie Juanhan laid out the gifts in a row.
All the gifts were beautifully wrapped and of excellent quality.
The Pixie stared at the gifts, their mouths agape in astonishment, their eyes wide with disbelief.
"Chirp chirp." The Pixie didn't dare touch it at all, saying it was too expensive.
Xie Juanhan's slender fingers pushed the exquisite crystal jar towards the Pixie: "This is all from our hearts. Thank you for leading us to the magic wand and the Wraith Wine."
The Pixie hesitated. "Chirp!"
Xie Juanhan: "Please accept this. We flew a long way to bring it here."
Haxi looked at the shy Pixie and couldn't help but chirp, "Chirp, chirp chirp!"
It suggests that the Pixie are so small that they perceive these gifts as precious.
For a dragon, all the gifts combined are not as big as a single dragon claw.
Don't be shy, the dragon has plenty of gold coins anyway, it's free money!
Before Haxi could finish chirping, Telingewei flicked the back of its head with his finger, sending the beast tumbling forward.
"Squeak!" Haxi immediately turned his head and bit two sharp holes in Telingewei's pants.
With Haxi's interruption, the Pixie weren't so nervous anymore.
They accepted the gifts and gave small gifts in return.
--That's a woolen cover made of animal hair.
The yarn cover is colorful with exquisite patterns, and in the center is a smooth, plump, and fragrant seasonal nut.
"Chirp chirp!" the Pixie proudly declared, referring to their specially made nut necklaces.
You can wear it until next spring!
The Pixie were indeed very skilled in all kinds of Life Magic.
After Xie Juanhan, Xie Juanhan accepted the necklace and put it on each of the little creatures.
Nibote's necklace was a little tight around his throat; he licked his lips but said nothing.
Xie Juanhan rubbed its neck and loosened its necklace a little.
Xie Juanhan and his group had come all this way, and that night they stayed at the top of the Mage Tower again.
There is a terrace at the top of the mage tower.
Despite the wind and sun, it remains clean and dry, likely washed away by countless rain showers.
Xie Juanhan and his group lit a campfire and roasted fresh meat and nuts over it.
The Pixie came to keep them company, holding the roasted stem pieces in their tiny hands and eating them delicately.
Xie Juanhan was worried that the tubers would burn them, so he specially infused them with some cold energy.
The Pixie all looked up in gratitude.
Harper and his companions had never been to this area before.
Moli and Nibote had never been there either.
Everyone gathered around the campfire to enjoy the food and chat. Telingewei, as the dragon who knew the area best, patiently told them about some of the nearby landmarks and local legends.
He mainly spoke to Xie Juanhan; the other kids were just eavesdroppers.
Nevertheless, Harper and the others listened with rapt attention.
That night, the whole family spread out thick, soft blankets on the terrace and snuggled together to sleep.
The next day, Xie Juanhan woke up rather late.
After waking up, he subconsciously reached out and touched the side.
The bed next to me was cold and damp; it was clear that Telingewei had been gone for quite some time.
"Meow." Nibote flicked his tail, came closer, and sniffed Xie Juanhan.
A sweltering heat wafted over, Xie Juanhan patted the Griffin's round ears. "Did Telingewei take Harper and the others hunting?"
Nibote: "Aww."
Xie Juanhan turned his head. "Moli went too? Why didn't you go?"
Nibote lay down beside Xie Juanhan's blanket, turned his eyes away, and refused to answer.
Xie Juanhan rubbed its ears again and asked with a smile, "Sleeping in late like me, huh?"
Despite sleeping outdoors, Xie Juanhan slept exceptionally well.
He woke up but didn't want to move, so he lazily groomed the Griffin's feathers.
As he combed through his hair, he attempted to release Dragon Power with one hand, condensing it into Dragon Power Crystal.
He had tried countless times since his last failure to condense the Dragon Power Crystal.
He can now conjure a small magic circle with one hand and is attempting to condense Dragon Power Crystal in mid-air.
Even if he fails, he can simply throw the out-of-control force into the air.
The uncontrolled force will explode in mid-air like a firecracker, without causing any damage to the ground.
Xie Juanhan had gotten used to this action, and even Nibote wasn't afraid of it.
However, he forgot that there were Pixie nearby.
The out-of-control force he threw out exploded in mid-air, like a thunderclap.
The Pixie rode up to find them early in the morning on their flying squirrels.
As soon as they flew to the top of the mage tower, Xie Juanhan roar right in front of them.
The Pixie were so startled by the loud noise that even the flying squirrel almost lost control.
Perhaps the flying squirrel itself is timid.
A group of Pixie, along with flying squirrels, were startled by the noise and tumbled erratically towards the mage tower.
"Why!"
Xie Juanhan darted out of the mage tower in one step, transforming into a dragon in mid-air. With a swipe of his dragon claw, he scooped up the group of light, floating Pixie and flying squirrels into his palm.
"Chirp chirp." The Pixie snapped out of their daze and hiccuped in fright.
The White Dragon quickly extended a claw and gently stroked their heads with the tip: "It's alright, I was just testing a spell. It might make a bit of a noise, but that's all. Don't be afraid."
The White Dragon placed the Pixie and flying squirrels at the edge of the mage tower, letting them sit.
After a while, a Pixie chirped earnestly. "It's not just the noise, there's also chaotic energy."
