Chapter 151
Their family had a very prosperous New Year.
These abundant meals were enjoyed from the coldest days of the year until the warm spring breeze.
Another year has begun.
Xie Juanhan and Telingewei, along with their chubby, furry animals, began spring planting.
This year's spring planting has expanded the area of farmland compared to last year.
Xie Juanhan still plans to mainly grow Star Berry and Golden Vine Pumpkin, and only grow enough rice and vegetables for his own consumption.
Spring has not yet fully arrived, and their main focus is on clearing land and cultivating seedlings for the Star Berry plantation.
Compared to the original Star Berry that grow on the hillsides below the sea of clouds, their second-generation Star Berry are significantly more resistant to cold.
It's only the beginning of spring, and we can start cultivating seedlings.
"Squeak, squeak." The Goblin, carrying small straw baskets on their backs, came over in a line.
The straw basket contained Dragon Power Crystal Fertilizer, which looked like moonlight.
The fertilizer shimmered faintly in the pale yellow straw basket, like fragments of starlight.
Harper and the others held their breath the moment they saw the fertilizer.
They seemed afraid that their breathing would be too loud and blow away the fertilizer.
Xie Juanhan poured a handful of fertilizer from the small straw basket, held it in his palm and rubbed it carefully, his expression filled with amazement.
"Is this the first batch of Dragon Power Crystal fertilizer?"
"Squeak!" the Goblin responded affirmatively.
The Goblin also said that these fertilizers, when gently sprinkled on the soil, would slowly seep into the plants and dissolve into the soil.
The fertilizer is very gentle; it won't burn the roots or corrode the leaves, unlike other fertilizers that need to be buried in the soil.
Xie Juanhan looked at the newly reclaimed farmland. "So, when raising seedlings, you just spread a layer directly on top of the nursery?"
"Squeak!"
The newly sprouted Star Berry seedlings, nurtured by the Dragon Power, trembled in the cold wind like newly grown translucent silver bean sprouts.
Harper and the others volunteered to be the ones to fertilize the plants.
Xie Juanhan and Telingewei put specially made fertilizer bags on their backs.
They trotted and ran across the farmland.
As they run, fine, shimmering fertilizer continuously drips from the tiny holes in the cloth bag, landing precisely on the Star Berry plants.
After Harper and the others finished fertilizing, Xie Juanhan and Telingewei covered the rows of Star Berry seedlings with hay.
The weather hasn't fully warmed up yet, and the cold wind is howling. The delicate seedlings can't withstand the damage from the cold wind, so covering them with dry grass will prevent a major problem.
The two dragons and the furry creatures worked together.
Soon, a nursery brimming with life appeared on the land.
The golden hay covered it up, like sunlight streaming down from the sky.
As evening fell, a light mist drifted through the forest and across the land.
Xie Juanhan looked at his own farmland, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.
After these Star Berry seedlings have grown for more than a month and have sprouted two tender leaves, they can be officially transplanted into the farmland.
These Star Berry will surely yield a lot of high-quality berries, and they will be able to make even more Star Berry wine this year.
Spring has arrived, and the harsh winter has faded.
Moli insisted on moving to its old den near the farmland, wanting to guard the farmland.
Xie Juanhan looked at the stubborn Demon Wolf, patted its head, and prepared a new pillow and soft bedding for it.
Moli wanted to move, and Nibote also stretched his neck and howled, clamoring to move too.
Xie Juanhan and Telingewei met its requirements.
As a result, the furry creatures immediately moved their activity area to the vicinity of the farmland.
The house is much quieter now.
Telingewei had long ago said he would build another house so that Harper and the others could move into it.
Once Harper and the others were no longer around, Telingewei seemed a little uneasy.
Like a lost old father.
That day, Xie Juanhan noticed that Telingewei was in a low mood, so he took him to the Cloudtop Cottage.
They hadn't been to the Cloudtop Cottage in a long time and hadn't had the chance.
Even the oil extracted from the seeds of the Golden Vine Pumpkin harvested last year, Xie Juanhan commissioned a potion maker to make into a batch of essential oils, has hardly been used.
Having finally made it to the Cloudtop Cottage, and with nothing else to do, they didn't go home that night.
That very evening, a cold snap arrived, with a chilly wind blowing from dusk onwards.
Moli sniffed the crisp scent in the air, his clear wolf eyes filled with worry.
It trudged home and found the house empty and quiet, with neither of the two dragons there.
Only the little Demon Bird in the yard heard the noise and cooed twice uneasily.
Harper and the others ran around following Moli, imitating Moli by puffing out their chests and sniffing the air.
Harper and his companions, having lived under the dragon's wings for so long, were not particularly sensitive to changes in the weather.
Seeing Moli's solemn expression, they also became solemn.
"Chirp?"
Moli wanted to go back to the farmland, and Harper and the others followed behind Moli, also wanting to go back to the farmland.
Moli turned her head and gently nudged Harper with her muzzle, signaling them to stay home.
"Awoo." Moli turned his head to look at the bird shed.
Harper and the others also looked at the aviary, where the Tuonai'er Demon Bird's baby birds were huddled together anxiously.
Harper and her friends had poured their hearts and souls into these chicks, and now they hesitated, truly unable to leave.
"Chirp." Harper nuzzled Moli, but ultimately didn't follow her into the farmland.
With the two dragons away, the furry creatures split into two groups.
Moli and Nibote were guarding the crops near the farmland.
Harper and the others stayed at home, taking care of the baby birds.
The Magic Wand Tree also tried its best to spread its canopy to shelter the baby birds from the wind and rain.
Moli inherited the Demon Wolf's ability to judge the weather.
That night, the moon did not appear, but the entire sky was shrouded in a thin, dim yellow light.
Moli squatted in front of the nest, looking up at the sky.
Before long, hailstones began to fall one by one, followed by a barrage of hailstones that pounded against the ground, making the withered grass and tree branches tremble.
Hail also pelted Moli and Nibote's fur.
Nibote looked at the yellow sky and the hailstones falling to the ground, and clung to Moli with a bit of fear.
Moli gently licked it. "Aww."
Moli watched for a moment, then started running, and ran faster and faster.
It hurried toward the nursery of Star Berry.
Nibote was a little afraid of the hail and very worried about Moli.
It stood still, looked at the warm and sturdy Griffin nest behind it, then at Moli's back, and finally swished its tail and ran after Moli.
Moli ran into the nursery, where hail was still pelting the plants.
The Star Berry seedlings in the nursery were fine.
A large group of Goblin emerged from underground at some unknown time, carrying bundles of hay and layering them over the Star Berry seedlings.
Xie Juanhan and the others had already covered the Star Berry seedlings with dry grass.
The Goblin thickened the nursery.
The entire nursery was covered with a thick blanket.
The hailstones pelted down, striking the soft, thick hay without harming the delicate seedlings.
The hay, however, was covered with a thick layer of sparkling hailstones.
"Awoo!" Moli cried out.
"Squeak!" The Goblin jumped up and waved joyfully at Moli with their tiny hands.
Moli trotted over, grabbed the hay the Goblin had prepared, and together with the Goblin, covered the nursery.
Nibote also rushed over to help.
The hailstones grew larger and larger.
At this moment, the nursery is almost completely built.
Moli looked up and let out a howl at the sky, signaling the Goblin to come and take shelter from the hail.
The Goblin stood there, bewildered.
Moli took two steps forward and gently nudged one of the goblins with his Goblin under its belly.
The little goblin Goblin like a potato, rolled over and landed under the Demon Wolf's belly. "Ah!"
Soon, the Goblin understood, his eyes lighting up as he called out to his companions, "Squeak squeak squeak!"
The Goblin, alerted, rushed over and scrambled under the Demon Wolf's belly.
Compared to the Goblin, the enormous Demon Wolf was like a small mountain, gently protecting them.
Moli had been incubating the eggs for a long time, and now, just like incubating eggs, she gently covered the Goblin, warming them with her body heat without pressing them down.
Nibote saw it and lay down, meowing to let the Goblin hide under its belly from the hail.
The Goblin quickly split into two groups, one under the Demon Wolf and the other under the Griffin.
The Griffin Demon Wolf and Griffin lay beneath the tall trees, while Demon Wolf Goblin nestled in their warm embrace.
In this terrifying atmosphere of a gloomy, yellowish sky filled with hail.
The little ones huddled together for warmth, waiting for the hail to stop.

See you tonight
Chapter 151 [VIP]
Inside the small house beneath the clouds.
The stars twinkled outside the window, the snow-capped mountains stood eternally, and even the wind felt exceptionally gentle.
Xie Juanhan was fast asleep next to Telingewei.
He was deeply buried in the soft down pillow, his slender arms resting on his cheeks, and faint red marks imprinted on his snow-white wrists.
Until his sixth sense was triggered without warning, he suddenly woke up from his dream.
Telingewei woke up immediately.
"What's wrong?"
"It looks like it's hailing at home, I need to go back and check."
"Don't rush, put on your socks first."
Before long, Xie Juanhan rode the giant dragon, flying over the high snow-capped mountains, hurrying home.
They flew to their doorstep very quickly.
