When Xie Juanhan got to the last sentence, he turned to ask Telingewei.

Telingewei shook his head. "Not sure, it's not a native Demonic Beast of the Magic Forest."

Xie Juanhan stared at the little beast thoughtfully. "Is that the Demonic Beast that recently came from outside?"

As he spoke, Xie Juanhan pinched the little beast by the scruff of its neck, lifted its rump, and examined it carefully. He quickly figured out its basic situation. "Demonic Beast created by Life Magic, not even level one yet."

Nibote responded loudly, "Meow!"

This means that if the little guy weren't so weak, they wouldn't have been able to catch him so easily.

The little animal showed very obvious signs of being raised in captivity, and its round, large eyes appeared exceptionally clear. "Aww."

Xie Juanhan hooked its chin with his finger and asked, "Whose family are you?"

The little animal stared with its round, bright eyes, understanding nothing.

Well, yet another little fool who traded her intelligence for beauty.

The furry animals in the house brought the little beast back themselves, Xie Juanhan happily took on the task of feeding it.

Fortunately, feeding such a cute little guy isn't difficult.

Mild floral nectar, milk pudding melted with fish milk, delicate fish soup...

Considering that this little beast was particularly small and a fragile creature created by Life Magic, Xie Juanhan specially customized a different recipe for it when cooking.

When feeding it, Xie Juanhan also gave it a small gold plate. If there was food that the dog couldn't chew, he would crush it in his hand and feed it to it personally.

The little beast snored contentedly as it was fed, constantly rubbing its cheek fur against Xie Juanhan's fingers.

Harper and the others were furious, wishing they could swat the little beast.

Even after all that, as Telingewei passed by them, he would still quietly tap them on the head, looking down on their stupidity.

Enraged, they quickly redirected their anger towards Telingewei, standing up on their hind legs to fight Telingewei: "Awooo!"

Harper and the others squatted in the yard, worrying, secretly figuring out how to carry the little animal out and throw it away.

They squatted there, their furrowed brows revealing a particularly noticeable round patch of flesh.

The Magic Wand Tree comforted them with a "Chirp."

They weren't comforted at all, "Chirp."

I shouldn't have brought back any small animals from outside.

Just as worried as Harper and the others Tuoyin.

Tuoyin the first to notice his pet animal was missing and immediately sensed where it had gone.

But that place was also a place he still feared.

He lingered on the outskirts of the Magic Forest for most of the day, from morning till evening, before finally mustering the courage to rush into the Magic Forest and knock on the fence gate of the small courtyard.

Xie Juanhan went to open the door. "Tuoyin, it's been a long time. I thought you would be even later."

"Your Excellency," Tuoyin greeted, removing his hat to reveal his long, smooth, flaxen hair. "It's been a long time. It seems you and the other gentleman are doing well."

"Yes, I've been doing well lately," Xie Juanhan said. "You seem to have fully recovered too. Was the little guy your recent creation?"

"You mean Doris? How do you know she's Demonic Beast I created?"

"It has your Magic Power fluctuations on it," Xie Juanhan added with a smile. "Quite noticeable."

While they were talking, Sylvan, who was discussing magical runes with Xie Juanhan in the study, peeked out and nodded to Tuoyin.

Sylvan had distinctive Elf ears, a handsome face, and long, soft, shiny grey hair that shone like a river in the sunlight.

Tuoyin paused for a moment, then leaned slightly forward to greet Sylvan.

Tuoyin had the air of a true aristocrat, greeting people slowly and elegantly.

At that moment, he caught a glimpse of the magical runes hanging in the study.

Most of those runes were Life Magic.

Tuoyin's brow twitched.

The Life Magic of the Elf!

Xie Juanhan followed his gaze and saw the magical runes in the study.

Tuoyin couldn't help but ask, "Have you been studying Life Magic lately?"

"More or less," Xie Juanhan said casually, "Mainly for planting purposes."

This year, their family will plant a large number of Star Berry seedlings.

Last year's seedlings have recovered, and this year's seedlings are being bred.

They need to prepare the farmland in advance before transplanting the seedlings to the new farmland.

The Star Berry is already a level three magic berry, and only special farmland can guarantee that it can successfully flower and bear fruit.

Xie Juanhan and his team prepared Dragon Power Crystal Fertilizer and Elemental Crystal Fertilizer, but this was far from enough.

They need to mobilize similar terrestrial energy, just as they did last year when they invited all living beings to dance, to ripen the Star Berry.

The fertility serum is very useful, but you can't use it every year.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei discussed it for a long time, and also consulted Sylvan and Yiluo. They finally decided to take the path of Life Magic.

This year, they plan to actively collect the Magic Power released by living beings.

Just like last year, some of the Magic Power was replenished by the Magic Power that escaped from living beings.

This involves various aspects of magical knowledge, such as Life Magic, energy-charging magic for spatial channels, and storage magic.

Very profound.

Tuoyin glanced at it, but was immediately drawn to the mysterious magical runes and couldn't resist the urge to try it.

Xie Juanhan followed his gaze to the study and said, "Don't worry, I won't make you do math problems this time."

Tuoyin somewhat embarrassedly, "I'll just cover the same content as last time; I haven't learned much new stuff lately."

Xie Juanhan nodded. "I understand. Please wait a moment while I bring Doris out."

Xie Juanhan quickly went to bring out Doris, the little animal from the Tuoyin family.

The little creature was very attached to Xie Juanhan. Seeing that Xie Juanhan was about to send it away, it clung to Xie Juanhan's arm with all four paws, whimpering.

Xie Juanhan patted its round head. "Come visit us again sometime."

Doris whimpered reluctantly, "Waaah."

Tuoyin was still thinking about the magical runes he had just seen, and was rather absent-minded.

Xie Juanhan placed the small beast in his hands, and he naturally hugged it.

Xie Juanhan asked, "How did you end up in the Magic Forest?"

Tuoyin: "Because of magical herbs."

Xie Juanhan looked up in surprise. "Magic herbs?"

Tuoyin was also surprised. "You didn't know? The Magic Power in the Magic Forest has become much stronger in the last two years, and many rare magical herbs have grown there. You can even find them on the edge of the Magic Forest."

Xie Juanhan: "These past two years?"

Yes, it's been these last two years.

Tuoyin, holding Doris, said, "Perhaps since you arrived? The Magic Forest has become more peaceful and less dangerous, and now with so many magical herbs, many adventurers like to come here—haven't you noticed how much more bustling the nearby towns have become?"

Xie Juanhan nodded. "There are indeed quite a few more adventurers on the outskirts of the Magic Forest."

Tuoyin: "You and the Dragon Lord forbid adventurers from venturing deep into the Magic Forest. This is both a restriction and a protection for adventurers. Everyone is happy to come and explore, even if they can't find herbs, they can still broaden their horizons."

Xie Juanhan nodded. "I see, the adventurers are really well-informed."

Tuoyin added, "Everyone knows that you and the Dragon Lord operate in this direction, and you generally don't come this way; you stay on either side of the Magic Forest."

Xie Juanhan: "We've found it."

After exchanging a few words with Xie Juanhan, Tuoyin took his leave, carrying his Doris.

Xie Juanhan politely saw his guest off, and even gave him a small basket of snacks.

Moli, on the other hand, calmly led the furry creatures, following Tuoyin at a distance until he left with the little Demonic Beast in his arms.

It suspected that Tuoyin deliberately getting close, and therefore was more cautious than usual.

Xie Juanhan did not stop Moli's actions.

Moli has practically become their family's security captain. The two dragons have complete trust in this newly-adult Demon Wolf when it comes to safety in the Magic Forest.

Xie Juanhan also belongs to the cautious type of dragon.

After meeting Tuoyin, he specifically asked Telingewei to cast several more protective spells around their farmland, pond, and cave.

In addition, they also placed protective magic circles around the dwelling places of the intelligent creatures of the Magic Forest, such as Goblin, Water Demon Pixie, elves, and Weaving Fairies.

Even the Weaving Fairies thought they were being a bit too cautious, "Lord White Dragon, don't worry, the adventurers wouldn't dare to come in."

Xie Juanhan pulled Telingewei aside and said, "Just in case, it doesn't hurt to be cautious."

The dragon in the Magic Forest is notoriously powerful; countless adventurers have failed and returned empty-handed, and no one dares to provoke it anymore.

Now that the adventurers have heard that a silver dragon has appeared in the Magic Forest, they are even more afraid to provoke it.

The magic array that Xie Juanhan and his group set up had never actually been used.

However, the magic circle doesn't require many Demonic Core, so wasting them is fine.

Tuoyin came to the Magic Forest only to find magical herbs.

Even though he was a little afraid of the two dragons in the Magic Forest, he and his companions still gritted their teeth and came, simply because there were no other places with such abundant resources besides the Magic Forest.

Of the nearby kingdoms, the Magic Forest, which is in good condition, is the dragon's territory.

The other Magic Forest have been destroyed too badly.

However, Tuoyin did initially come for the magical herbs.

Things are different now.

He caught a glimpse of the magical runes in Xie Juanhan's house and drew inspiration from them.

That night, he couldn't resist trying to set up the corresponding magic circle.

Then, he blew up seven sets of magical materials in one go, and even destroyed the small inn where he was staying.

The lady who ran the small hotel had eyebrows practically pointing to the top of her head. "Goddess, what have you done?"

Tuoyin awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I accidentally let a little Magic Power leak out. I'll make it up to you."

As he spoke, he quickly pulled out his money pouch.

Inside the money bag, three gold coins, eight silver coins, and one hundred and seventeen copper Sona swayed precariously.
