Chapter 163

And so, the Flower Elf officially settled down in the Magic Forest.

The flowers of the Star Berry are blooming more and more, and now the fields are mostly orange and less green.

Flower Elf flitted about above the farmland, diligently making honey.

Besides making nectar, the Flower Elf also eat nectar.

They stretched long grass stems deep into the receptacles of the Star Berry and sipped the nectar inside.

With each sip, an expression of pure bliss appeared on their faces.

Led by the Flower Elf, a trend of drinking honey has swept through the farmland.

Not only the Flower Elf drink the honey drops from the Star Berry, Pixie, Goblin, and Harper have all learned to drink it this way.

Even Xie Juanhan and Telingewei, when tired from working in the fields, didn't mind sipping some nectar to refresh themselves.

Everyone loves to drink the nectar from Star Berry flowers.

When people drink it, pollen is also spread.

Xie Juanhan and the others are magical creatures, and the pollen they spread is much more efficient than that spread by wind and insects.

The flowers of the Star Berry gradually withered, and small, unripe, hard fruits began to form on the branches.

Xie Juanhan squatted down and held the unripe fruit in his palm. "It looks like a little cherry."

The Star Berry are growing exceptionally well this year; they've only been growing for a few days and they're already the size of a finger.

When it matures, it might grow as big as a fist.

Telingewei followed up with the inspection. "We used a lot of fertilizer this year, and we managed it very carefully, so it's no surprise that the berries are this big. It would be abnormal if they didn't grow any."

"Not necessarily. These Star Berry should be close to reaching the quality of a level three magic berry by the time they grow up, right? Normally, their quality wouldn't improve so quickly."

Xie Juanhan stared at the Star Berry in his hands.

If they can truly produce level Star Berry, they will definitely be able to brew level three magic wine.

Even if they don't produce fruit, the level two magic wine they've aged in Goddess Wood barrels is expected to be upgraded to level three magic wine, it just will take a little longer.

It's almost certain they'll eventually brew a level three magical wine; it's just a matter of time.

Xie Juanhan thought of the legendary Level 3 Magic Wine and couldn't help but look longing in his eyes.

Legend has it that level three magic wine is not only exceptionally delicious, but also incredibly Magic Power. Drinking level three magic wine to replenish Magic Power when needed is said to be extremely effective.

Xie Juanhan immediately thought of going home.

With the help of level three magic wine, their journey home through the spatial passage would be much smoother.

Even if you don't use it to open up a spatial passage, this level of magical wine would be an excellent gift to bring home.

Several of his clansmen are heavy drinkers; bringing back magical wine will surely be a pleasant surprise for everyone.

Chapter 163 [VIP]

Since the Star Berry began to bloom, they've had sunny days every day here.

Xie Juanhan can see the brilliant sunset in the sky every morning or evening.

The sun shone brightly, and the temperature rose.

The season seemed to have jumped from late spring to midsummer in an instant.

The chirping of insects in the Magic Forest became lively.

In the lake, the Water Demon's restaurant has also reopened.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei took Harper and the others to the lakeside restaurant for dinner several times, where they occasionally encountered the Gray Elf Sylvan and his giant eagle.

After learning that the Water Demon's restaurant had opened, the Flower Elf quickly became guests at the lakeside restaurant as well.

The air was thick with the scent of midsummer. Xie Juanhan cooked some fresh fish milk that day. When he tasted it and felt that the flavor wasn't quite right, he thought it might be because the hot weather had caused the fish milk to spoil.

Telingewei tasted it carefully. "It doesn't taste like spoiled food."

Harper and the others chirped loudly in the hallway.

Xie Juanhan: "Don't you guys really think something's wrong?"

"Chirp!" The fluffy thing indicates that everything is normal.

Habei plunged his head into the milk basin, drank the fish milk in one gulp, and when he lifted his head, his mouth was smeared with milky white rim.

It looked as if it was afraid Xie Juanhan would take away its food bowl.

Xie Juanhan glanced helplessly at Habei, then reached out and called to Moli, "Moli, come here and help me smell it."

Moli nimbly leaped from the hallway into the kitchen, flicked its tail, and sniffed the milk bowl Xie Juanhan handed it to.

After growing for the past six months, Moli stood up, and his fluffy head had reached Xie Juanhan's waist.

It easily lowered its head and sniffed.

Xie Juanhan patiently waited for the feedback.

After sniffing, Moli went back to its own milk bowl and sniffed again.

It sniffed back and forth twice, then tilted its head, indicating that something was definitely wrong.

Xie Juanhan looked down and asked, "Is it only a part of the fish milk that's wrong? The rest of the fish milk is normal?"

Moli whispered, "Awooo."

Xie Juanhan and the others were to boil fourteen basins of milk, which were divided into three pots.

It seems that only one batch of milk had a problem; the other two batches at most had some residual taste.

Xie Juanhan sniffed the fish milk. "That's strange, it doesn't smell rancid at all."

Telingewei: "Perhaps some debris got into the milk when the Tata Fish were being milked."

Xie Juanhan: "It's also possible that this batch of milk is unsafe to drink."

Xie Juanhan made the announcement, Habei and the others immediately protested with "woof woof".

"We'll find the Tata Fish tomorrow to exchange for new fish milk, and then we'll see what's going on with this batch."

"Chirp?"

"Really, I'm going with Telingewei first thing tomorrow morning. The Tena Fish have just migrated back, so we'll catch some to make fish soup."

Tena Fish a type of fish with high oil content, resulting in soft and tender flesh that is both delicious and appealing.

Especially when topped with lemon slices, Spicy Clam, and various sauces, the fish is made into a refreshing and delicious dish.

The furry creatures had eaten it a few times, and now that Xie Juanhan mentioned it, they instantly felt a little hungry.

Habei gently nudged Xie Juanhan's leg with its paw, then looked up at him and chirped.

Xie Juanhan casually ruffled Habei: "Okay, let's catch a couple more and eat our fill."

However, Xie Juanhan and his group didn't have time to go fishing the next day.

Habei and Nibote, who drank the most fish milk, started having diarrhea in the middle of the night.

By morning, they lay listlessly at the doorway of Xie Juanhan and Telingewei's room, their cheeks pressed against the cool floor.

"Waaah." As soon as Xie Juanhan opened the door, the two of them raised their heads in unison, looking at him pitifully.

Xie Juanhan was startled. He squatted down, cupped Habei's cheeks, then Nibote's cheeks, and examined them closely. "What's wrong?"

Telingewei stood behind Xie Juanhan and glanced down at Habei.

Habei licked his lips, feeling even more guilty.

Telingewei wasn't very motivated to pick up the smelly thing and stick it to his forehead.

Xie Juanhan turned his head and gently tugged at Telingewei's trouser leg.

Then Telingewei grabbed Habei by the scruff of his neck and supported Habei rear end, lifting him up to read his memories.

Habei obediently used his tail to cushion his rear end, curled up in Telingewei's hand, and had no objection to having his memories read.

After reading the message, Telingewei said, "It's a problem with the fish milk."

Nibote lay on the ground, pitifully indicating that his stomach was flat. "Ouch."

Xie Juanhan scratched its thick belly. "Where is it flat?"

Nibote rammed his head against Xie Juanhan's arm. "Ouch!"

Nibote pleaded and begged, saying he wanted to drink the soup made from magical herbs, specifically the White Bird Grass Soup.

Xie Juanhan tapped it. "Just eat something dry."

Griffin and their Companion Beast are quite hardy; they can be easily cared for.

However, Xie Juanhan sensed something was wrong. "It doesn't look like the fish milk has gone bad. Maybe there's something wrong with the Tata Fish. We need to go and check on them."

Telingewei: "It shouldn't be a big problem, otherwise they would be crying and coming down the river for help."

Xie Juanhan put his arm around Telingewei's shoulder and pressed his cheek against his. "Let's go take a look? Habei and the others are done too, let's go catch some Tena Fish."

The two dragons went to find the Tata Fish, so they didn't take the furry ones with them, only telling them to stay home and guard the house.

The furry creatures followed behind them, loudly urging them to catch as many Tena Fish and shellfish as possible!

Xie Juanhan, riding on the dragon's back, waved behind him. "Got it, don't run around, and don't play hide-and-seek with the Little Tree!"

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei went to the open sea to find the Tata Fish.

To their surprise, they went to several places where the Tata Fish usually stayed, but the Tata Fish were not there at all.

"Strange," Xie Juanhan against the dragon's neck, "We've practically searched the entire territory of the Tata Fish, but we still can't find them."

The dragon's voice was deep. "Perhaps it has been carried by the ocean currents to other places to forage?"

Xie Juanhan took out the divination coins, which he had rubbed until they gleamed. "Perhaps, let me divine where they are now—"

The gold coins landed on the dragon's back, their shimmering gold shining even brighter against the backdrop of its black scales.

Xie Juanhan stared at the divination chart for a moment and said, "In the west, a small number of Tata Fish have encountered minor problems, but most are fine."

Telingewei: "They've separated?"

"It doesn't seem like it." Xie Juanhan stared at the divination chart, interpreting it based on a fleeting inspiration. "It seems more like some of the Tata Fish have done something bad and kept it from the group's leader."

Tata Fish are a typical example of a group of fish where the female elder acts as the leader.
