Chapter 144

"Chirp!" The Companion Beast immediately nodded vigorously.

Nibote nodded in agreement, "Meow."

The Dwarf' eyes darted around. "Is it delicious? Can we try some?"

Harper and the others looked at the line of Dwarf and hesitated.

The Dwarf in the lead immediately said, "Humans can sample food when they do business, you've seen that at the Star Market, haven't you?"

The furry creatures were still hesitant.

"Chirp chirp." Harper finally pushed Nibote out with his two paws, indicating that Nibote could taste it for the Dwarf.

Nibote grinned and ate a large piece of pumpkin without hesitation.

Then, its brilliant golden-red fur grew longer and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Chirp!" Harper stretched out his tiny paws, indicating to the Dwarf that they would have to pay with gold coins if they wanted pumpkins.

The Dwarf muttered, "Harper, you're so stingy! You won't even let us have a taste? If Lord Silver Dragon were here, he would definitely let us have some."

Harper remained unmoved and continued to extend her tiny paw.

The Dwarf finally managed to scrape together three gold coins, which they reluctantly handed to Harper in his paws.

When it came time to hand over the coins, the Dwarf held on tightly to them, and Harper had to use his claws to pry them out of the Dwarf's hand.

Business was booming, and Harper's pumpkins were selling better and better.

In the evening, they carried half a basket of gold coins in their mouths and happily trotted home.

They were howling and howling from a great distance.

Xie Juanhan heard this, came out, and saw the glittering gold coins in their baskets. His smile widened, "Well done! I'll roast Demon Bird for you tonight."

The furry creatures puffed out their chests.

Harper urged Xie Juanhan to divide the gold coins first, "Chirp!"

Xie Juanhan: "Alright, alright, let's divide the gold coins."

Xie Juanhan called to Telingewei in the kitchen, "Telingewei, come out and divide the gold coins."

Telingewei came out, gave the little ones a deep look, said nothing, and directly used Dragon Flame to clean the gold coins, then distributed the gold coins.

Telingewei counted one gold coin for the little ones, then counted nine more for them.

The little ones nodded their heads, their eyes following the gold coins as they darted around, not wanting to miss a single detail about them.

Even with their own eyes witnessing, the gold coins were still split into two piles.

The large pile belongs to Xie Juanhan and Telingewei, and the small pile belongs to them.

Haxi was incredulous, looking this way and that, before finally throwing his head back and howling at the top of his lungs. "Awooo!"

The other little ones started howling too.

Nibote, in particular, howled the loudest.

Telingewei tapped them on the head. "You should be happy that you can earn so many gold coins just by leisurely selling a few pumpkins after waking up from your nap."

Harper's eyes flashed, she licked her lips, and remained silent.

Seeing Harper's expression, the other Companion Beast gradually fell silent as well.

Only Nibote continued howling along with Haxi, so he was hit on the head twice more.

"Ouch!" Haxi protested loudly in anger, wishing he could scratch Telingewei.

Xie Juanhan quickly picked up Haxi from the side. "Are you going to sell pumpkins again tomorrow? There might be even more customers."

Haxi glanced at the two piles of gold coins that were completely different sizes with his little eyes, and grumbled.

The other furry creatures hesitated as well.

Xie Juanhan: "Business should be pretty good tomorrow. The news has spread, and most people will come to buy pumpkins, especially the magicians in Teme Port."

The Winter Festival Dance is almost here.

Once the various races confirm the pumpkin's fur-exploding effect, they will definitely come to buy it.

After all, who wouldn't want a pumpkin that grows hair?

If customers buy and eat this pumpkin now, they will soon grow long, smooth hair. When they wear it with a flower or jeweled crown to a ball, they will definitely attract a lot of attention.

Telingewei glanced at the kids. "If you're not going, A-Han and I will watch the stall. That way, we won't have to give you any gold coins."

"The days when you can earn several gold coins just by sleeping around and tending to your stall aren't every day," Telingewei said.

Before Telingewei could finish speaking, the impatient Habi immediately chirped, indicating their willingness!

After it finished barking, it finally realized what was happening and gave their leader a sidelong glance.

Harper licked her lips, tacitly agreeing.

Xie Juanhan squatted down and touched them. "Then I'll leave the stall to you tomorrow as well. If it weren't for you guys, we really wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting such a large amount of gold coin business to anyone else."

The furry creatures were instantly appeased, sitting up straight and giving Xie Juanhan a serious "Awooo!"

He gestured to Xie Juanhan to rest assured.

With the furry creatures around, there's really nothing to worry about.

The next day, Xie Juanhan was too lazy to even check on the stall. He dragged Telingewei hunting and went to collect the freshly squeezed fish milk from the Tata Fish.

They went to a far place, so they came back quite late.

In late autumn, the sun sets early, and it was almost dark when they got home.

Before they even entered the house, Harper and a large group of furry creatures rushed out in a great hurry.

They rushed in too fast, and without even going through the gate, they jumped over the fence and howled wildly, looking like they had important information.

"Wait!" Xie Juanhan gestured downwards with his hand. "Tell us one by one, we can't hear you. What happened?!"

==========Author's Note:=========

See you tomorrow!

Chapter 144 [VIP]

The chirping of the Companion Beast mingled with the meowing of the Griffin, creating a noisy cacophony.

Xie Juanhan tried hard to decipher the information, and his head was spinning from the effort.

Finally, Harper turned around, leaped high over the fence, and ran into the house.

The other furry creatures seemed to finally realize what was happening, and they jumped over the fence again, rushing into the house, leaving Xie Juanhan and Telingewei with only their furry backsides.

Before Xie Juanhan could ask any questions, Harper rushed out with a snow-white letter in her mouth.

Achoo!

Harper sneezed loudly as he handed the letter to Xie Juanhan.

"It smells so good!" Xie Juanhan casually patted Harper's head and stared at the letter.

The Goddess Festival, also known as the Winter Festival, is just around the corner, and invitations from various ethnic groups are flying in like snowflakes.

But they rarely receive letters with such exquisitely patterned envelopes and a pleasant fragrance.

--This is a letter from a foreign race.

Xie Juanhan opened the letter, and silver, cursive handwriting appeared on the paper.

Before he unpacked it, he had a premonition that it was an invitation to a ball.

After opening it, he found that it was indeed the case.

The person who invited him was someone he hadn't expected.

"They are Elf." Xie Juanhan handed the letter to Telingewei.

Telingewei stared at the letter, his expression enigmatic. "A letter from Elf."

Harper and the others chirped excitedly.

-It's Elf!

"Yes, they are Elf."

As he spoke, Xie Juanhan rubbed Telingewei's arm.

Telingewei doesn't usually interact much with the outside world and has no interest in parties or dances.

This was probably the first time the Elf had invited him.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei did not discuss this matter in front of the children.

Back in the kitchen, Xie Juanhan lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want to go?"

Telingewei: "Go ahead, Harper and the others are quite interested."

"They're interested in anything we do." Xie Juanhan gave his shoulder a firm hug. "If you don't like the Elf's area, we can go somewhere else."

"I don't dislike it. I'm just a little surprised. Go ahead, the Elf's ball should be fun."

Telingewei decided to go, so they made preparations in advance.

Xie Juanhan specially commissioned Weaving Fairies to order formal wear for each family member, and also went to Teme Port to order accessories.

Harper and the others were really looking forward to it several days before they set off.

On the day they actually set off, they couldn't sleep early in the morning and ran to Xie Juanhan's door, scratching at it.

Xie Juanhan had no choice but to yawn and open the door to let them into the room.

Harper and the others usually didn't like wearing things, but this time, since they were going to the Elf territory, they voluntarily put on those sparkly ornaments.

This makes the already adorable Companion Beast even cuter.

When Nibote saw this, he also nudged over and asked Xie Juanhan to put a crown and armbands on it.

The Griffin, which usually looks a bit silly, becomes quite majestic when adorned with jewelry.

It ran to the mirror and looked at itself again and again, clearly having a concept of beauty and ugliness.

The furry creatures all wore accessories, even Moli wore a necklace.

After getting dressed, Telingewei transformed into a giant dragon and carried his entire family on his back.

They set off facing the rising sun.

To reach the Elf realm, they had to fly with their backs to Teme Port, traversing most of the Malalehalin Kingdom's territory, before reaching the Magic Forest on the other side of the kingdom.

The journey was long, and even though the dragons flew fast enough, they didn't arrive near the Elf's territory until almost night.

Upon reaching the Magic Forest on the other side, the letters they received floated out of their bags, transforming into magical paper butterflies to guide them.

Night had fallen.

At the beginning of the month, there was no moon in the sky, only a sky full of stars.

The faintly glowing magical paper butterflies led the way, fluttering along and guiding them through the thin frost until they reached the territory of the Elf.

The Elf guards on the outskirts of the territory saw the magical paper butterflies and ran out in an orderly fashion, immediately spotting the dragons and their companions.

"Lord Dragon, Lord Silver Dragon," the junior leader of the guard trotted forward to greet them, "Welcome."
