Chapter 200
While Xie Juanhan and his family's furry pets were away from home, they ran off to the open sea along the river.
Xie Juanhan and Telingewei were thinking about their furry friends at home, so they came back early.
They had taken a special shower outside and walked into the yard, looking fresh and clean. "Harper?"
The Magic Wand Tree and the little Goblin beneath it immediately noticed their return, swaying their branches toward them.
The little Goblin had begun to develop consciousness and were excitedly waving leaves at them.
The little Goblin's leaves were also a particularly green, a tender, fresh green.
When they sway their leaves, it's like ripples spreading across a sea of grass.
Xie Juanhan's heart softened. He handed One-Bone Fish to Telingewei behind him, touched the leaves of the little Goblin, and checked on Goblin condition.
The little Goblin slipped twigs into his hands, their soft texture clinging to his fingers.
These little guys are clearly smarter than before.
After checking, Xie Juanhan touched the Goblin's leaves, then the Magic Wand Tree's branches, and asked, "Where are Harper and the others?"
Xie Juanhan spoke, he glanced at the study and the kitchen.
Harper and the others are definitely not home; their presence is nowhere to be found.
Xie Juanhan was somewhat surprised. At this time, they would usually be sitting on the rune template, waiting for the two of them to come home.
That's why he and Telingewei rushed back with One-Bone Fish.
The One-Bone Fish refers to fish that they raise in the sea using fishing nets. Originally, there were more than 5,000 of them, but now there are only more than 4,000 left, and they have grown to about half their adult size.
When Xie Juanhan and Telingewei were on their inspection today, they made a point of catching a few extra fish so that the furry creatures could have a treat.
To everyone's surprise, these guys weren't home.
The Magic Wand Tree's voice was deep and resonant. "Chirp chirp."
Xie Juanhan listened intently. "The Tata Fish are here? Did they go out to play?"
Magic Wand Tree: "Chirp, chirp."
Xie Juanhan's voice suddenly rose. "Not playing around, you took the rune templates to find the Demonic Beast's lair?!"
Xie Juanhan immediately disregarded the One-Bone Fish in his hand, froze it with his cold energy, threw it into the kitchen sink, and went to his study to check.
Telingewei followed behind him. "It's alright, Harper and the others are quite clever."
"Getting beaten up by Demonic Beast isn't pleasant either." Xie Juanhan had already opened the drawer containing the rune templates. "It was even empty; Moli took it."
Xie Juanhan turned to Telingewei: "Alright, let's go get them."
Telingewei nodded, took Xie Juanhan's outstretched hand, and transformed into a giant dragon in the courtyard, carrying him on its back as it soared upwards.
Xie Juanhan, riding on the dragon's back, cast a divination: "Over there—"
Xie Juanhan and the others were in a great hurry to pick up the furry kids, fearing that something might have happened to them.
Before they had flown far, they saw a group of Tata Fish carrying their Companion Beast, happily swimming back down the river.
The Griffin flew above them, carrying the Demon Wolf on its back.
The group's plan seemed to be going extremely well; they even chatted loudly as they returned.
He looked quite pleased with himself.
Upon seeing the dragons flying in the air from afar, the group immediately stopped chatting and began loudly offering treasures to the two dragons.
"Chirp--"
"Click--"
Xie Juanhan's brow twitched wildly. He quickly pinched the small gold coin in his hand and performed a divination. The divination indicated that Harper and his team would achieve great success.
It's likely that they'll be able to insert the rune templates into other Demonic Beast territories very smoothly.
Xie Juanhan asked in surprise, "How did you do that?"
The group below then launched into a flurry of comments, chattering and clapping.
The Tata Fish wagged their big tails, showing off proudly.
They secretly went to the Demonic Oyster farm, grabbed long ropes, tied the rune templates to large rocks, and threw them into the "homes" of various Demonic Beast.
Demonic Beast don't have the traditional homes that intelligent beings have.
However, most Demonic Beast have lairs, especially high-level Demonic Beast, which usually rest in fixed locations.
The Tata Fish roam the sea all day and know exactly where the Demonic Beast's lair is.
They didn't engage the Demonic Beast in direct combat at all; they simply slipped the rune templates into the Demonic Beast lair and ran away.
As for why it was tied to a stone --
Because the rune template is too small, it might be swept away by the waves if it's not tied to a rock.
The Tata Fish spoke with reason and logic, their eyes even gleaming with a hint of wisdom.
Hearing their clicking and clacking sounds, Xie Juanhan asked, "Where are the Demonic Oyster tied to the rocks?"
The Tata Fish chirped merrily!
They ate them!
Xie Juanhan's hands were itching; he wanted to punch the fish.
The Tata Fish didn't realize it and happily declared that this year's Demonic Oyster were even plumper, sweeter, and more tender than last year's, and could be sucked into their mouths with a single bite after being cracked open.
Tasty!
They didn't waste a single one; they ate it all!
The furry creatures were too afraid to make a sound, Harper and the others huddled on the backs of the Tata Fish.
Nibote deliberately flew a little slower to avoid flying too fast and having to endure the wrath at close range.
The Tata Fish, completely oblivious to the dragons' attitude, boasted about how delicious the Demonic Oyster were, then swam up to the two dragons, trying to get close, swishing their tails and asking if they'd done a particularly good job this time, "Cack cack cack?!"

Chapter 200 [VIP]
The fluffy creatures in Xie Juanhan's family are being punished again.
Under the eaves, a row of furry creatures faced the wall, balancing baskets on their heads.
In the river, a school of Tata Fish faced the bank, also balancing baskets on their heads.
Even Moli was there this time.
The little guy carries a small basket on his head, and the big guy carries a big basket on his head.
A group of incredibly audacious individuals, none of them escaped.
Xie Juanhan face.
Haxi and a few Tata Fish were still unconvinced, chirping and squeaking to indicate that they just wanted to help and knew there was no danger outside.
Xie Juanhan: "Then you guys are really disloyal. Why did you leave me and Telingewei behind and go by your own? Are you isolating us?"
Moli's eyes glanced at Xie Juanhan, Nibote's tail drooped, and Haxi and the others whimpered shyly.
Xie Juanhan: "Reflect on your actions."
After Xie Juanhan finished speaking, he ignored them and started walking towards the kitchen.
As Goblin passed by the little Goblin under the Magic Wand Tree, they swayed their branches, and suddenly leaves drifted down and touched Xie Juanhan's palm.
It seemed she noticed he was unhappy and deliberately offered him the leaves to cheer him up.
These little guys are so thoughtful; they've already acquired Goblin traits even before they've truly awakened.
Xie Juanhan couldn't help but touch the leaves of the little Goblin, softening his voice as he said, "It's alright, I'm not angry. You can continue growing."
The little Goblin couldn't speak yet, so they could only gently curl Xie Juanhan's hand with their immature branches.
Xie Juanhan's heart softened at the sight of these little Goblin. He patted them and gave them his Dragon Power: "Really, just grow up obediently, don't worry about me."
The furry creatures could be clearly seen from down the corridor.
They were being punished and dared not turn around, so they glared at the little Goblin with their eyes bulging out of their sockets.
Little Goblin.
The furry creatures grumbled and scorned the Goblin.
Xie Juanhan and Telingewei quickly went into the kitchen.
Soon, a rich aroma wafted from the kitchen.
The furry fish and the Tata Fish gradually lost their resentment, leaving only a strong desire to eat.
They heard Xie Juanhan calling for dinner as usual.
The furry creatures immediately pushed the basket aside, caught it by the handle, piled it on the ground, and ran to the kitchen.
Xie Juanhan stood in the kitchen, looking at the furry creatures outside, and said, "Get your plates ready, don't just stand there."
Knowing the punishment was over, the fluffy creatures immediately ran off to fetch their respective golden plates, chirping, "Chirp!"
The Tata Fish was frantically circling in the river, making a "click-click" sound.
Xie Juanhan: "Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged. Just a moment."
The Tata Fish: "Woo."
Soon, Xie Juanhan and Telingewei had distributed the food to the little ones.
When they caught One-Bone Fish, they counted the number of their furry pets and didn't catch any more.
Today, the Tata Fish were eating at home, so they made extra meat patties, mixed salads, and tore apart pieces of meat by hand, piling up a generous feast for each of them.
The Tata Fish are now much stronger and can basically fill their stomachs in the sea.
But wild fish can never match the flavor and energy of carefully prepared human food.
The Tata Fish, having tasted this rare delicacy, devoured it in large mouthfuls.
Soon, they discovered that meat patties and shredded meat were already quite delicious, but they couldn't compare to the raw fish strips marinated from One-Bone Fish.
The fish from Xie Juanhan's family is simply Magic Power!
It tastes like fish, but it's so much tastier than raw fish from the sea!
That was Xie Juanhan imitating the raw marinade, using Star Berry wine, Goblin leaves, and his family's old brine, with a large amount of ice to marinate the raw fish strips.
The translucent fish strips, glistening with oil, burst with sweetness when exposed to the icy-cold braising sauce.
The fish has a very crisp and refreshing texture.
After the initial sweetness comes a crispness, and after that crispness comes a tangy and spicy finish.
After the initial aftertaste fades, an indescribable refreshing feeling washes over you, layer upon layer, like the waves of a rising tide constantly crashing against the shore.
