Chapter 143
"Call out!"
Behind the Goblin, pale green fur balls also emerged, stretching Goblin ', and waving enthusiastically.
"Huh?" Xie Juanhan, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted the pale green creature.
He lowered his voice and asked Telingewei, "What's that?"
Telingewei looked at it carefully. "Don't recognize it."
Xie Juanhan beckoned Moli over. "Quickly, go and inform the Goblin that their kin have arrived."
Moli ran over, tilted her head, listened to Xie Juanhan's instructions, and quickly ran away.
It frequently interacts with Goblin and knows roughly where Goblin currently.
When Harper and the others saw Moli run off, they quickly followed to join in the fun. "Chirp!"
Before long, the two groups of Goblin met up.
The Goblin were very excited, jumping and leaping around in the pumpkin patch.
Their little hands were clasped together as they twirled around.
After their initial excitement subsided, they shyly held hands and came over to greet Xie Juanhan and the others.
Xie Juanhan squatted down and poked the small, pale green, fuzzy, moss-like creature, asking, "What is this?"
These little creatures were just running around in the pumpkin patch.
They appear to have no eyes and are blind.
If they accidentally bump into Harper and the others while running, they will immediately lie down on the ground and play dead, all fluffy.
Xie Juanhan has already observed it.
These strange little creatures looked like clumps of moss with tiny hands and feet, or perhaps some kind of toy.
He had never seen these little creatures in any book or anywhere else.
Upon hearing Xie Juanhan's question, one of the newly arrived Goblin its head out and whispered, "Squeak."
- It's our puppy.
Xie Juanhan looked at the small moss in front of him, then at Moli.
Is this a puppy?
The Goblin began to explain, squeaking.
When they lived in gardens, they saw that humans had puppies, so they also domesticated their own unique puppies.
The Goblin puffed out their chests proudly, declaring that their moss puppies were incredibly cute.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
They are very good at finding water sources and fertile soil!
-She also has a very gentle temperament!
-Our most reliable companion animal!
Xie Juanhan looked at the tiny Goblin, then at the small moss clumps of creatures beside them, also puffing out their chests.
They are indeed quite cute.

Chapter 143 [VIP]
Early in the morning, Xie Juanhan walked from the corridor to the kitchen after getting up.
He had already reached the kitchen doorway, but then he turned back and stood in front of the garden path, gazing at the garden before him.
Something seems off.
"Chirp?"
As soon as Harper and the others woke up, they rushed to the kitchen door to wait for breakfast.
Seeing Xie Juanhan retreat, their eyes were full of doubt, and they followed suit, crowding around Xie Juanhan's feet and curiously peering into the garden.
"Awooo!" Haxi was the first to notice something was wrong. He put all fours on the ground and ran over to the Magic Wand Tree.
It scooped it up with its claws—
A clump of moss with long, thin arms and legs was pulled out by its claws.
"Chirp." The moss ball was still struggling under Haxi's claws.
They are the Goblin's moss puppies.
Xie Juanhan went over to take a look.
A circle of fluffy mossy puppies had formed under the Magic Wand Tree.
They huddled together, completely covering the soil beneath the Magic Wand Tree.
The yellowish-brown soil Magic Wand Tree instantly transformed into deep green moss, as if summer had returned overnight.
No wonder his intuition was off.
"How did you end up here?" Xie Juanhan, pinching the mossy puppy between two fingers.
The mossy puppy was light and soft. Its delicate hand struggled for a moment, then suddenly pressed against Xie Juanhan's finger, seemingly in a state of blissful "dragon-absorbing" pleasure.
Xie Juanhan recalled the Virginia creeper he had encountered before.
Virginia creeper also has these thin, long tendrils.
His heart softened, and he gave the mossy puppy a little Dragon Power: "Go play over there, don't crowd the Magic Wand Tree."
The Magic Wand Tree can spew lava.
If it spews out two pools of lava and burns the mossy puppy, that would be a real problem.
Having received the Dragon Power, the moss puppy stretched out its slender little hand and touched Xie Juanhan's face.
All the other mossy puppies ran to Xie Juanhan's feet, raised their furry heads, and looked up at Xie Juanhan.
Xie Juanhan imparted his Dragon Power to them evenly with the cold rain, and then had Harper and the others carry them to Moli.
"We'll take them back to the Goblin with Moli later," Xie Juanhan said, patting Harper. "We'll come back for breakfast after that."
The Companion Beast happily responded, "Chirp!"
The Companion Beast quickly carried the moss-covered puppies away.
Xie Juanhan watched them go, then went back to the kitchen to wash his hands and prepare breakfast.
When Telingewei returned and heard about this, he said, "The Goblin said they were very good at finding fertilizer and water; it seems they weren't lying."
"Those little feet are pretty fast, they're off in a flash." Xie Juanhan tossed the Orange Sweet Shoot in his hand. "The Magic Forest is getting more and more lively."
Telingewei: "The intelligent beings are not afraid of us."
"Yes, your charm is getting stronger and stronger," Xie Juanhan said with a smile. "Shall we stick to the original plan and have Harper and the others set up a stall?"
Telingewei nodded. "I'll use planks to piece together a stall for them later."
Xie Juanhan's family had a bumper pumpkin harvest. They couldn't eat so many, so they simply set up a stall on the edge of the Magic Forest to sell pumpkins.
They cut it into pieces and sell it, only accepting Demonic Core or gold coins.
Xie Juanhan and Telingewei were unavailable, but Harper and the others were very interested in this task.
Xie Juanhan specifically stated that one-tenth of the gold coins received could be given to them as pocket money.
They became even more excited and had long ago urged the two dragons to set up a stall for them.
Xie Juanhan wasn't worried that any living being would deceive the pumpkin.
With dragons around, there shouldn't be any creatures this audacious in the Magic Forest.
On the first day of officially setting up the stall, Xie Juanhan prepared wraps and roasted meat for the furry creatures for lunch well in advance.
The furry creatures specifically requested that they be placed in the backpack slung across their shoulders.
Xie Juanhan smiled and agreed, and even prepared lemon honey water for them.
"Chirp!" Harper and the others proudly bid farewell to the two dragons and quickly ran off into the distance, full of pride.
Xie Juanhan watched them leave, then turned and went into his study to write to his friends, asking them to come and patronize the furry creatures' business.
The Demon Wolf, the Water Demon, the Dwarf, the Peryton, the Weaving Fairies, and the magicians I met in Teme Port—
"Chirp chirp."
"Chirp chirp."
"Gurgle--Gurgle--"
One by one, little messenger birds, summoned by them, flew over and then carried the letters away into the distance.
"Alright."
Xie Juanhan tied the last letter to the little letter-carrying bird's claw and watched it leave.
"Now Harper and the others will definitely have no shortage of customers."
"Shall we go and check on their business?" Telingewei asked.
"Go, go, go!" Xie Juanhan jumped onto Telingewei's back. "We'll go quietly."
The Magic Forest was large enough that Xie Juanhan and Telingewei concealed their presence in a distant tree, quietly observing Harper and the others' business.
Harper and the others chirped and squeaked at home, constantly clamoring to come out and sell pumpkins.
In reality, if you actually let them guard the stall, they'll just be fast asleep behind the pumpkins.
The giant pumpkin happened to form a windbreak.
They huddled together for warmth, drooling as they slept, enveloped in the sweet aroma of pumpkin.
Xie Juanhan threw a stone at it from a distance.
The stone smashed the old pumpkin with a "thud".
The commotion was so strange, yet only Moli raised his head and glanced around warily.
Seeing that nothing seemed amiss, even Moli fell fast asleep.
Looking at the fluffy creatures sleeping in a ball, Xie Juanhan rubbed his forehead. "I really overthought things, actually thinking Harper and the others were reliable."
Telingewei spoke up for them, "Sometimes they're reliable."
Xie Juanhan: "For example?"
Telingewei thought for a moment, "For example, when some creature offends them and they want revenge."
Xie Juanhan chuckled.
The furry creatures were unreliable, but luckily Xie Juanhan was reliable enough to write a letter in advance inviting guests.
Upon receiving the letter, the Water Demon were the first to come to the furry creatures' door in groups to buy pumpkins.
"Thump, thump." The Water Demon stood in front of the stall, their slender fingers gently tapping the old pumpkin.
They knocked on the door, reminding the furry creatures that guests had arrived.
"Chirp?" The sleepy, furry creatures woke up, nudging each other and licking the drool that had almost spilled out of their mouths, before looking up at the Water Demon.
"Thump." The Water Demon held the gold coins in their palms, smiling as they extended them to their Companion Beast, indicating that they wanted pumpkins with two gold coins each.
Harper's tiny paws immediately snatched the gold coin from the Water Demon's palm, then nudged Moli with her bottom, signaling Moli to hurry up and cut the pumpkin.
The only composed Demon Wolf, knife in its mouth, painstakingly and earnestly cut a large chunk of pumpkin. "Awooo."
Having successfully completed their first deal, the furry creatures were probably a little more confident.
It's also possible that they finally got enough sleep.
They sat majestically behind the pumpkins, waiting for the next guest to arrive.
The Dwarf arrived quickly.
They skipped and hopped to the giant pumpkins, having to crane their necks to see them, which were much taller than them. "Wow, these are the giant pumpkins that Lord Silver Dragon grew?"
