Chapter 189

Xie Juanhan knew that many bitter drinks, once prepared, tasted quite good.

The most famous thing is coffee.

He used to drink a lot of coffee, but he hasn't had any since he came into this world.

The family has a stone mill and a series of other tools.

Xie Juanhan took out the stone mill, roasted the nuts, and quickly ground them into powder.

He originally intended to use it as coffee powder to see if the nuts could be brewed into a delicious drink.

Once ground into powder, the fine powder revealed a rich layer of oil.

With just a slight crushing motion of his fingers, he could extract a rich and saturated oil.

It looks like chocolate ingredients.

Xie Juanhan changed his mind. Instead of using it to make drinks, he added powdered sugar, cream, and butter, heated it, stirred it well, and then poured it into a small pot.

The furry creatures looked on curiously, chirping.

Xie Juanhan: "Wait a moment, we can eat it soon after it cools down."

After smoothing out the sugar syrup in the pot, Xie Juanhan released a little bit of cold air into it.

The sugar syrup solidified into a block, and with a gentle tap of the wooden handle of a shovel, the sugar block shattered into pieces.

Xie Juanhan took two pieces, and he and Telingewei tasted them first.

The sugar melted quickly on their tongues, rich and flavorful, though slightly bitter.

It's just not as bitter as before, like my tongue has been beaten up.

Telingewei frowned slightly, seemingly not very receptive to the taste.

Xie Juanhan distributed the candy to the furry creatures.

Apart from Habei, none of the Companion Beast liked the smell.

Moli and Nibote, however, liked it very much.

Xie Juanhan ate the candy. "It tastes pretty good?"

Haxi and the others looked shocked.

Even Habu, who brought back the nut, looked completely bewildered.

Xie Juanhan: "It's very fragrant and delicious. If you control the proportions, add more sugar and cream, and less nuts, it will be even better."

Of all the people in their family, Xie Juanhan liked this kind of nut candy the most.

Perhaps because he tasted too many bitter foods back in his hometown, he can appreciate not only sweetness but also bitterness.

Telingewei and his Companion Beast didn't quite understand.

Xie Juanhan also drank it with light tea, making the bitterness even worse.

Harper and the others saw this and quickly tiptoed away.

Xie Juanhan ate quite a lot and also drank some tea.

He couldn't tell whether it was the nut candy or the tea that made him sober.

In short, he couldn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.

Not only were they alert, but they were also restless.

Telingewei held him, gently pressing him down to keep him still.

Xie Juanhan stared at the ceiling, his eyes shining as brightly as the stars outside.

"Hey," Xie Juanhan nudged Telingewei with great enthusiasm, "How about we go to the Sea of Clouds Cottage?"

Telingewei's sleepy voice rang out. "Now?"

Xie Juanhan leaned close to his ear and said, "Yes, right now. Leave a message with the Magic Wand Tree, and we'll sneak away. I haven't used some of the things I bought before, so let's try them out."

Telingewei immediately sat up. "Let's go."

So, Xie Juanhan, who was too energetic, dragged Telingewei out in the middle of the night.

The furry creatures next door were still fast asleep, unaware that they had quietly climbed up to the Sea of Clouds Cottage in the middle of the night.

The two dragons didn't return until midnight the following day.

Xie Juanhan finally exhausted all his energy and went back to his room to sleep.

Telingewei checked on the sleeping furry creatures and searched the house. After confirming that everything was normal, he went back to his room to sleep.

At dawn, the furry creatures woke up to find that the two dragons had finally returned, and were preparing to angrily confront them.

As soon as they got up, two gold coins fell from under their fur with a "clinking" sound.

"Chirp?" Harper and the others were confused.

Upon getting up and looking around, I discovered that Telingewei had stuffed two gold coins under the cushions of each of them.

Telingewei gave them gold coins suddenly, for free, voluntarily, and without warning!

See you tomorrow!

Chapter 189 [VIP]

Xie Juanhan seemed to hear the excited cries of the furry creatures in his sleep.

The shouts were accompanied by the sound of jumping up.

That sounds pretty exciting.

His eyelashes fluttered, as if he wanted to open his eyes to see what was going on.

Before he could even open his eyes, a warm, large hand covered his eyelids, and another hand gently patted his chest and abdomen.

He was so tired that he fell asleep again very quickly.

After observing that Xie Juanhan's breathing had returned to normal, Telingewei kissed him, tucked him in, and went to check on the furry creatures next door.

The furry creatures were happily counting their gold coins when they suddenly saw the expressionless Telingewei appear outside the window.

They were startled. "Chirp?"

Telingewei pointed outside the yard. "Go out and play."

"Chirp." The furry creatures responded obediently, picked up the gold coin, and nimbly darted away from Telingewei with their four paws moving quickly.

Even Nibote, with his enormous body, was huddled up, unable to squeeze into Telingewei at all.

After running a few steps into the yard, the furry creatures quickened their pace and leaped over the fence with a "whoosh."

They disappeared beyond the fence in the blink of an eye.

Telingewei watched as the last hairy buttock disappeared from sight, then looked away and returned to the room.

The house returned to peace and quiet, which was perfect for them to catch up on their sleep.

As soon as the furry creatures ran outside, they immediately changed direction and ran towards the dragon's cave.

Telingewei set up protective magic around the cave, but Harper and the others were not hindered by the magic and were still able to get inside and roam around in part of the cave.

Harper led the way, with Moli bringing up the rear.

They quickly ran into the cave and skillfully returned to their former dwelling.

"Chirp chirp." Harper and the others opened their respective chests where they stored their gold coins, revealing a pile of glittering gold coins that shone brightly under the whale oil lamp.

The furry creatures all have gold coins stored up, but the amount of gold coins stored up by each furry creature is different.

Harper and Hani had the most gold coins stored, filling more than half a chest, while Nibote had the fewest, with only a dozen or so.

They carried the gold coins back and didn't leave immediately, but stayed to admire them.

These gold coins came from different

Era

They are engraved with different patterns.

Telingewei cleans their gold coins almost every year.

Despite their age, the gold coins have not lost any of their luster.

In the freezing cold, squatting in a warm cave, counting gold coins one by one was an absolutely wonderful experience.

Haxi scratched at the gold coins with its paws, then suddenly looked up and said, "Chirp?"

Harper: "Chirp?"

For a time, the cave was filled with chirping sounds, occasionally interspersed with Moli's howls and Nibote's meows.

The furry creatures sat upright in the cave, holding a meeting and meowing as they discussed how to continue gathering nuts to sell to Telingewei.

Habu only brought back a large bunch of nuts, and Telingewei gave each of them two gold coins. If they brought back even more, how many more gold coins would Telingewei have given them?

The furry creatures, with serious expressions, let out a long, loud howl.

Although they cannot accurately and clearly understand every meaning of their friends' words, it doesn't stop them from shouting and acting quickly.

Habu ran ahead, quickly leading his friends to where he had been gathering nuts.

Nuts ripen in autumn.

It's already deep winter, and there are hardly any nuts to be seen on the dry branches.

These few nuts were mostly shriveled and blackened, and didn't look very edible.

Although the furry creatures weren't very smart, they knew that Telingewei would never trade gold coins for such nuts.

The furry creatures looked at Harper and Moli, waiting for them to speak.

Harper squatted on the ground, deep in thought, while Moli gently wagged his tail.

A moment later, Moli let out a soft "Awoo?"

The Companion Beast didn't understand at first and looked at it.

Nibote, among the Companion Beast, also looked at it.

Moli called out twice more, and seeing that his friends didn't understand, he simply walked ahead and led the way.

Moli trotted off towards the Pixie's territory.

Harper and the others were initially running behind, but as they ran, they suddenly realized what was happening and, with their short legs, they quickly ran to the front.

It was so cold that the rock piles at the foot of the mountain were covered with a thick layer of fluffy snow.

There wasn't a single trace of the Pixie's activity on the snow.

It's clear that the Pixie haven't come out recently.

Ignoring everything else, Haxi excitedly ran forward, scratched away the snow with its paws, and chirped a few times at the rocks.

There was no movement beneath the rock.

Haxi waited patiently for a moment, then called out a few more times.

After several attempts, finally a Pixie, dressed in a nightgown and wearing a nightcap, with drooping wings and yawning, flew out. "Chirp chirp?"

Haxi stared at them. "Chirp!"

Harper chirped several times beside him.

After some difficult communication, the Pixie finally understood that they wanted to gather nuts and came to ask for directions.

The Pixie said that all the nuts had been picked long ago, and they couldn't find any more now.

Haxi exclaimed in disbelief, "Chirp?!"

How could something so bitter be completely harvested?

The Pixie really like to eat these nuts. They like to lick them, and when they get dizzy from eating them, they lie down on rocks or grass.

Hearing Haxi's question, they grunted, "Chirp!"

The Pixie stored some nuts, but the Swamp Banshee on the beach picked most of them.

Hearing that there were no more nuts left in the wild, Harper and the others were disheartened and decided to go back.
