Chapter 181

Xie Juanhan pulled the blanket over his head, trying to pretend to be asleep.

In the instant he covered his head, Xie Juanhan suddenly remembered the horrific incident where the Magic Wand Tree had vomited all over the yard.

In autumn, plants grow slowly, and the flowers and grass in their yard have not yet recovered to normal.

Thinking of this, Xie Juanhan had no choice but to obediently lift the blanket and get up.

Telingewei was already dressed. Seeing him emerge from under the covers, he bent down and kissed his forehead. "I'll go out and check things out first. Call me if I need anything."

Xie Juanhan, wrapped in the blanket, didn't want to move, and sighed, "Thank goodness for you."

Telingewei quickly pushed open the door and went out.

Xie Juanhan stared at the ceiling, straining his ears to listen carefully to the sounds outside. Gradually, he understood that it wasn't the Magic Wand Tree that was in trouble, but the Goblin.

The Goblin surrounding their farmland were known for being well-behaved.

They must have something important to do if they come over so late at night.

Xie Juanhan's sleepiness gradually disappeared.

He put on his coat and went out to investigate.

As soon as they pushed open the door, they overheard the Goblin saying that Nibote and the Peryton were arguing loudly and looked like they were about to fight.

"Why are they fighting again?" Xie Juanhan walked into the yard. "I have to go take a look."

"Chirp!"

Harper and the others had all woken up sometime during the night, and were squatting by the study door, watching the commotion, their eyes glowing green in the moonlight.

Upon hearing that the two dragons were going to mediate the fight, they immediately offered to take them along.

Haxi was the fastest; with a push of its hind paws, it shot into Xie Juanhan's arms like a small cannonball.

Telingewei transformed into a dragon.

Xie Juanhan caught Haxi and gently tossed it onto the dragon's back. At the same time, he quickly scooped up the other Companion Beast and stuffed them onto the dragon's back as well.

After instructing the Magic Wand Tree to guard the house, Xie Juanhan and his family headed to the farmland.

When they arrived, Moli had already calmed the dispute down.

Nibote and the Peryton stood facing each other, but each turned their head to one side, unwilling to look at each other.

Xie Juanhan: "..."

Upon seeing Xie Juanhan, Nibote and the Peryton simultaneously began to loudly complain, howling even louder than the Tuonai'er Demon Bird.

Xie Juanhan gleaned the details from their numerous attacks. "Flying deer came by, but it wasn't you?"

When Xie Juanhan finished speaking, he turned to the Peryton.

The Peryton whimpered in grievance, indicating that it really wasn't them.

Telingewei sniffed the air around him and said, "There's an unfamiliar scent here."

Moli immediately took a deep sniff.

Harper and the others sniffed too.

Even Nibote and Peryton took a careful sniff.

Nobody smelled it except Telingewei.

The furry creatures looked at him with puzzled expressions.

Telingewei nodded, confirming, "Very faint, very pure, with a hint of divine aura; it might be some kind of spirit."

As Xie Juanhan spoke, his brow twitched slightly, a guess forming in his mind.

Telingewei happened to be looking over as well.

The two dragons stared at each other, Xie Juanhan mouthed: Golden-Horned Deer?

Telingewei nodded.

It seems they all had the same idea in mind.

All the furry creatures, not understanding the riddle they were speaking, tilted their heads and looked at them.

Xie Juanhan said, "They shouldn't have gone far. I'll try summoning them."

Since it is a spirit, it is very likely that it dwells in the Inner Land.

Xie Juanhan has recently become quite familiar with spatial research; if all else fails, he can even perform divination.

Therefore, he found the spatial node without much effort and sent a friendly invitation to it.

Xie Juanhan and the others stood in the farmland waiting.

The moonlight quietly spilled onto the earth.

There was no movement in the deep blue fields.

Haxi shifted his paw, as if about to ask a question.

Suddenly, a ripple came from mid-air.

A deer appeared out of thin air, followed by several more.

A herd of deer stepped down from the void and walked into the pumpkin patch.

"Hello," the lead deer said, its golden antlers seemingly emitting a faint glow.

They look very similar to the Peryton, only more refined and majestic in appearance, without wings, and with pale golden antlers.

"Good evening." Xie Juanhan stood beside Telingewei, observing them. "Golden-Horned Deer."

The Golden-Horned Deer nodded in agreement.

The lead Golden-Horned Deer explained, "We heard there's a Silver Dragon Farm here that spans the mountains and the sea, where they grow a lot of Golden Vine Pumpkin, so we wanted to come and see for ourselves."

"Sorry to bother you."

The Golden-Horned Deer's voice was gentle and elegant, carrying a subtle divine quality.

At the end, the Golden-Horned Deer even lowered their heads slightly and bowed in apology.

Nibote and the Peryton stared in astonishment at the Golden-Horned Deer before them, their mouths agape.

Harper and the others, along with Moli, stared intently.

Xie Juanhan was bowed to by such a large group of deer, and instinctively wanted to help them up.

He raised his hand halfway, then felt it wasn't appropriate to touch the Golden-Horned Deer directly, so he just made a vague gesture.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xie Juanhan asked curiously, "Are the pumpkins we grow considered authentic Golden Vine Pumpkin?"

The Golden-Horned Deer elegantly and solemnly declared, "This is the most authentic Golden Vine Pumpkin; even its quality is almost identical to previous Golden Vine Pumpkin."

Xie Juanhan's family's Golden Vine Pumpkin has now reached the standard of a level two magical plant.

Once they are fully ripe and harvested, the taste will definitely be even better than last year.

Xie Juanhan smiled and said, "That's great! We were worried that our Golden Vine Pumpkin wouldn't be authentic enough."

The lead Golden-Horned Deer asked in surprise, "How could this be? Didn't you propagate the pumpkin vines directly from the ancient Golden Vine Pumpkin?"

"Because its Magic Power is a bit unbalanced," Xie Juanhan explained. "The Golden Vine Pumpkin we harvested last year will cause everyone to sprout fur after eating them; the effect is more pronounced for lower-level magical creatures."

"Perhaps because it was at a critical point at the time," the Golden-Horned Deer said. "The critical point between level one and level two magical plants shouldn't be there this year."

Xie Juanhan: "That's wonderful."

Xie Juanhan looked up at their vast pumpkin patch and invited, "Would you like to try our Golden Vine Pumpkin?"

The lead Golden-Horned Deer said, "We have no real wealth to exchange."

Xie Juanhan waved his hand. "It's alright, everyone who comes is a guest. Since the Peryton are here too, we can all try the first batch of Golden Vine Pumpkin this year."

Xie Juanhan and his group have not yet had the chance to properly taste a ripe Golden Vine Pumpkin.

I did manage to eat quite a few when the Golden Vine Pumpkin was in bloom.

They also tried a few tender pumpkins.

Fried Golden Vine Pumpkin blossoms and mini pumpkin stewed in salted cream are both delicious.

I wonder what a ripe pumpkin tastes like?

Xie Juanhan turned to look at the huge pumpkins, wanting to pick one that was at its ripest and try it.

Noticing his movement, the Golden-Horned Deer exclaimed in unison, "That one over there, the pumpkin beneath the Alcyone."

Xie Juanhan spotted the pumpkin the Golden-Horned Deer had mentioned at a glance.

He walked over to the pumpkin and tapped it gently.

Xie Juanhan retained the habit he brought from his hometown: no matter what kind of gossip he came across, he would always tap on it.

Other creatures didn't understand his actions, but Telingewei watched them intently with a smile in his eyes.

"It's done." Xie Juanhan said, hearing the empty knocking sound.

Telingewei took out a small knife. "Shall we cut this?"

Xie Juanhan nodded, making way for Telingewei to cut the pumpkin.

The weapon Telingewei held in his hand was just an ordinary mithril dagger.

He easily cut off the hard pumpkin stem and then cut open the pumpkin with its thick skin.

Xie Juanhan had long suspected that the flesh inside these Golden Vine Pumpkin would be very soft once they ripened.

When I cut through the hard outer layer of Telingewei's knife, it was as smooth as cutting through butter.

When Telingewei cut the pumpkin into wedges, the flesh inside was a rich orange-yellow color and emitted a unique sweet aroma.

It doesn't look like a naturally grown pumpkin at all, but rather like a moist cake base baked with lots of milk and honey, gently placed on a pumpkin skin.

Xie Juanhan distributed the pumpkins to the creatures present, and even cut them into small pieces for the Goblin.

After the pumpkin was divided, Xie Juanhan took his first bite of the Golden Vine Pumpkin and knew that all his hard work this year had paid off.

What a sweet and delicious pumpkin this is!

It's practically a super-advanced version of sweet potato, a unique and delicious gift from nature, with a distinctive aroma of nuts, berries, and vegetables.

It's so delicious even raw, it's hard to imagine how delicious it would be if you put cheese on top and baked it in the oven.

Xie Juanhan wasn't the only one who thought it was delicious.

After the Golden-Horned Deer had tasted it, the leader of the Golden-Horned Deer said, "Please exchange some of the Golden Vine Pumpkin with us."

"Although we have no material wealth to exchange, we have accumulated blessings over a long period of time, which we can use to bless your family's water plants."

"After this blessing, the aquatic plants in your garden should reach the quality of the Golden Vine Pumpkin."

The Golden-Horned Deer spoke in a divinely elegant voice, gazing at the distant pond.

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

See you tonight!

Thanks to nono for the deep-sea torpedo! (Bowing in gratitude to the master!!!)

Thanks to the Ancient Spirit little girl for the two landmines; thanks to the "Stop watching and go to sleep" landmine!

Chapter 181 [VIP]

The Golden-Horned Deer finished speaking.

All the creatures present looked toward the pond.

Xie Juanhan's family has also managed their pond very well in the past two years.

Although it's just a large artificial pond dug out by the river, it's used to raise Spicy Clam, silverfish, and grow aquatic plants.
