Chapter 174
At the call of the little ball of light, other little balls of light quickly arrived.
The incoming clusters of light were dense and numerous, somewhat like a torrential downpour dancing under the summer sun.
The Magic Wand Tree grows in the yard, and sometimes when you look at the torrential rain in the distance, the raindrops seem to dance like this.
So many orbs of light, like a torrential rain, jumped onto the bed one after another, all sticking to Xie Juanhan's body.
Xie Juanhan remained completely unconscious, and the orbs of light were unable to break free.
They tried to save one group from another, but in the end, they all stuck to Xie Juanhan.
"Chirp chirp!"
"Waaah--"
"Waaaaah!"
The glowing orbs that had been chirping slowly began to wail.
They struggled and trembled on Xie Juanhan's body, as if covering Xie Juanhan with a blanket made of light.
Telingewei arrived back at that moment.
As soon as he landed in human form, he sensed something was wrong in the courtyard.
The Magic Wand Tree seems to be in a bad state.
Immediately afterwards, he noticed an unusual atmosphere coming from the room.
Ignoring the Magic Wand Tree in the yard, Telingewei rushed to the front of the room and shoved the door open. "A-Han!"
Xie Juanhan slept peacefully, his breathing even, and he appeared perfectly fine.
On the contrary, the orbs of light around him had cried until their voices were hoarse.
Upon seeing Telingewei rush in, the orbs of light tried to leap and hide, but they were firmly stuck to Xie Juanhan and couldn't escape at all.
These orbs of light cried even louder in an instant.
Telingewei's face changed drastically. He rushed to Xie Juanhan's bedside, grabbing his arm with one hand and touching his face with the other. "A-Han?!"
"Hmm?" Sensing Telingewei's presence, Xie Juanhan turned his head, yawning as he opened his eyes from his sleep. "You're back? Did you turn on the lights? It's so bright—"
Halfway through his sentence, Xie Juanhan noticed the ball of light surrounding him.
His expression turned strange.
His expression became even more bizarre after he saw the Magic Wand Tree in the room.
"What's this?" Xie Juanhan poked the ball of light with his finger, then turned to look at the Magic Wand Tree. "What's wrong with the Little Tree?"
The Magic Wand Tree transformed into a spirit, its roots anchoring in the floor and its canopy reaching the roof.
The house wasn't even as tall as it; part of its canopy extended beyond the slate tiles.
Hearing Xie Juanhan's question, the Magic Wand Tree swayed its branches and emitted a deep sound, "Chirp, chirp chirp."
Xie Juanhan roughly understood. "These guys ran over, you were worried about the danger, so you tried to stop them, and that's how this happened."
"Grumble."
"What are these? Spirits?" Xie Juanhan asked Telingewei.
Telingewei nodded, reaching out to grab a handful of orbs of light. "An ancient spirit, usually residing in the Inner World."
The orbs of light had been struggling for a long time, and seeing that the two dragons ignored them, they cried even louder, "Waaah!"
Xie Juanhan poked the ball of light with his finger. "How did you suddenly end up in our house?"
The ball of light he was poking sobbed, "Chirp, chirp chirp."
Xie Juanhan listened carefully. "Your master wants to invite us to a moon-viewing event?"
The little balls of light chirped and sobbed, indicating that they meant no harm and simply wanted to come over and invite us over.
They used to invite other creatures this way; once they stuck their stickers on the creature, the invited creature would have a dream and then understand everything.
Who knew that Xie Juanhan not only wasn't dreaming, but also got stuck to them, boohoo.
Xie Juanhan got up and sighed softly, "I am a dragon, after all. How could you little guys possibly shake me without my permission?"
The orbs of light cried even louder, "Waaah!"
Telingewei smirked. "Don't even mention you, it wouldn't make a difference even if your master came."
Xie Juanhan turned to look at Telingewei: "Do you know their owner?"
"It's probably the spirit of the first god, Vespa."
"The first deity, the spirit?"
"After the war of the gods, many gods died. After their deaths, new spirits were born from their bodies, called Vespa, meaning 'evening star,' referring to a dead star that appears at sunset."
"A kind of undead creature?" Xie Juanhan murmured, "That's quite a romantic name."
Telingewei: "Yes, very poetic."
The Vespa may have heard about their ball in the berry fields, or for some other reason, and specially invited them to admire the moon.
Xie Juanhan was very interested in the Vespa's moon-viewing activities, but Telingewei said that the Vespa's Inner Land were very small and might not be very comfortable to go inside.
Xie Juanhan thought about the size of the little light clusters and understood somewhat.
Given their size, he and Telingewei might indeed have difficulty breathing if they went into some of the more cramped Inner Land.
After thinking it over, Xie Juanhan decided to ask the Light Group to extend a reverse invitation, asking the Vespa to come to their yard to admire the moon.
The little balls of light were surprised, but after Xie Juanhan released them, they obediently promised to pass on the message.
The little orbs of light left.
Xie Juanhan and Telingewei returned the spirit of the Magic Wand Tree to its body and gave it some Dragon Power Crystal fertilizer.
After settling the Magic Wand Tree, they went to the study to check on the sleeping furry creatures.
Despite the commotion outside, the little balls of light came and went without disturbing the furry creatures at all.
The furry creatures huddled together, still sleeping soundly.
Because they were huddled together, their fur pressed against each other, and their tails covered each other, Xie Juanhan didn't even need to bother covering them with blankets.
"Sleep quality that's truly perfect," Xie Juanhan exclaimed.
"Thanks to the magic wine." Telingewei looked into Xie Juanhan's eyes. "Are you alright?"
"It's really nothing." Xie Juanhan gently held Telingewei's hand, a faint smile on his face. "When I'm asleep, my body enters a defensive state, making me a few times safer than when I'm awake."
Telingewei touched his palm and then his forehead to make sure he was alright before he felt a little relieved.
Seeing that he was even more nervous than himself, Xie Juanhan pressed his cheek against his and asked knowingly, "What are you going to Teme Port for?"
"I've got a custom-made anniversary gift for our relationship." Telingewei pulled out a box and shoved it into his hand, becoming even more nervous. "Do you like it?"
"I love it! I'll love anything you give me!" Xie Juanhan's eyes lit up. "I also have a gift for you!"
Telingewei's face was full of anticipation. "What is it?"
"Yes, yes, we'll go to the Sea of Clouds Cottage and show it to you, then you'll understand."
Xie Juanhan, holding Telingewei's hand, said, "Harper and the others are asleep, let's come back tomorrow morning!"
Telingewei hadn't been home long after returning when he and Xie Juanhan quietly went out again.
The furry creatures sleeping in the study knew nothing.
Only the Magic Wand Tree, which had accepted the Dragon Power Crystal Fertilizer as hush money, stood quietly in the yard, guarding this home.
Full moon night.
Xie Juanhan and Telingewei prepared food early in the morning, waiting for the Vespa to arrive.
Harper and the others knew that guests were coming tonight, and they had been waiting at the door for a long time.
They had assumed the Vespa would arrive after the moon rose.
Unexpectedly, as night fell and the world entered its blues hour, a ball of light appeared in the distance and headed towards their house.
Xie Juanhan was wondering why the Vespa and the orbs of light were in the same form.
When the group of luminous orbs rushed over, he realized that they were actually a group of wild rabbits with meteorite-colored fur and glowing bodies!
They are the Vespa!
It wasn't humanoid!
Xie Juanhan was deeply shocked.
However, they also had many non-humanoid friends, and before Vespa and the others could get close, he quickly composed himself.
"Good evening," Xie Juanhan greeted the group of wild rabbits.
"Chirp! Chirp!" The Vespa stopped, stood on their hind legs, and raised their front legs to greet them.
The Vespa do not take the form of light clusters, but their cries are the same as those of light clusters.
The meanings they conveyed were clearer than those of any other living being; the semantics seemed to be directly imprinted in the minds of all the creatures present.
Not only Xie Juanhan and Telingewei, but Harper and the others also understood the Vespa's greetings.
Xie Juanhan looked at the group of magical creatures and served them Star Berry nectar water and pastries.
Soon, everyone was sitting at a low table in the courtyard, eating snacks, admiring the moon, and chatting under the moonlight.
The Vespa didn't beat around the bush much; after settling in, they quickly asked, "Chirp chirp?"
Xie Juanhan: "Yes, I'm looking for a spatial node that allows me to go home."
The Vespa immediately chirped, "Chirp chirp!"
We know of a vulnerable yet secure spatial node!

See you tomorrow!
Chapter 174 [VIP]
Xie Juanhan looked up abruptly upon hearing this.
The Vespa, shaped like little rabbits, were still munching on their pastries, holding them up with their front paws and moving their mouths as they ate very intently.
They were completely unaware of what they had said that shocked the dragon.
Xie Juanhan stared intently at the Vespa.
Vespa and his gang gnawed away.
The leader, Vespa, munched away for a long time, carefully finishing his pastry. He then raised his head and murmured, "Chirp chirp?"
How about we make a deal?
Xie Juanhan ignored its discussion about the transaction, took a deep breath, and instead asked another question, "Is the safe and stable space node you mentioned located in the northwest direction?"
After a pause, Xie Juanhan sifted through the information in his mind and asked again, "Near Mount Kaonielin?"
The Vespa all looked up at Xie Juanhan, and the pastries on their paws fell off. "Chirp?"
