Chapter 221
So he went and got a bottle of level three magic wine.
Considering the unique nature of the Goblin's leaves, which prevented the use of overly strong-tasting wine, he took out wine brewed with yeast selected by the goblins themselves— the White Dragon's Dragon Wine.
As planned, he found a glass jar that was neither too big nor too small, first placed the cleaned leaves at the bottom of the jar, and then poured in the wine.
The moment it was poured in, the Goblin leaves dissolved completely upon contact with the wine.
The glass jar in Xie Juanhan's hand instantly filled with a pool of emerald-green liquid that emitted a unique fragrance.
Sylvan looked up in surprise at the jar of wine in his hand. "Is your wine such a good match for Elf derivatives?"
Xie Juanhan was also surprised. Smelling the wine, which had become several degrees stronger, he asked blankly, "How come the leaves blended into this wine are even smoother than when they've been blended into the Goblin Mother Tree?"

Xie Juanhan and Sylvan looked at each other in bewilderment.
Harper and the others heard the noise and ran outside the kitchen. "Chirp?!"
Xie Juanhan: "There's nothing good to eat."
Habei, leading the skepticism, stared intently at the glass jar in his hand. "Chirp?"
Xie Juanhan: "We can't drink the wine yet; we have to wait for Telingewei and Moli to come back and enjoy it."
The furry little creatures were used to waiting for Telingewei to prepare any delicious food at home, only making a token protest with two "chirp chirps."
Telingewei and Moli went into the forest to capture the Erteme Demonic Beast.
The Erteme Demonic Beast are at their most tender and succulent in autumn, and the family members love to eat these little creatures, though they are a bit difficult to catch.
Even if Telingewei went hunting himself, it would be difficult to catch this small animal. Only by taking Moli along and having Moli temporarily act as a hunting dog could the success rate be higher.
Nibote wanted to go along too, but was met with opposition from the two dragons and all the furry creatures except himself.
It's too lively; going hunting with it might easily alert the snake.
Nibote could only lick his lips and stay at home, feeling wronged.
Habei was still persistent; it could smell the aroma. "Chirp?"
Xie Juanhan: "Even if we try it, it's not allowed. We'll try it together when they get back."
Xie Juanhan was heartless and refused to open the wine ahead of time.
The furry creatures were a little disappointed, and lay down on the corridor to wait patiently for Telingewei and Moli to return.
Sylvan would also like to try it, but she was too embarrassed to ask.
So, that afternoon, everyone was distracted, their minds preoccupied with waiting.
As evening approached, Telingewei returned carrying a string of Erteme Demonic Beast and Moli.
They received a warm welcome from their family members even before they arrived home.
Haxi and the others even jumped over the fence and ran enthusiastically to greet them.
Nibote wagged its big, fluffy tail, perhaps having learned it from the dog in the village across the street.
"What's going on? Why are you being so enthusiastic?" Telingewei reached out and pushed Nibote's large head away.
Nibote: "Meow!"
Hearing the noise, Xie Juanhan peeked out from the study and answered his question, "Today I was processing Goblin leaves. The Goblin leaves dissolved in the wine, creating a new variety of leaf wine."
Telingewei understood. "Is it good?"
Xie Juanhan's eyes crinkled into a smile, "I haven't drunk it yet. I said I'd wait for you to come back before drinking it."
Telingewei nodded, looking at his Companion Beast: "I understand. It's not a welcome to me, it's a welcome drink."
Haxi urged, "Chirp!"
With all the family members back, Xie Juanhan brought out clean, dried glasses on a tray and served them to each family member, plus poured wine for Sylvan.
The leaf wine has been stored for some time, but there is no sign of separation or sedimentation.
It remains a vibrant, inviting green, emitting an amazing, refreshing fragrance.
After pouring the wine, Xie Juanhan picked up his own glass and took a small sip.
This is a wine made with a base of level three magic wine, infused with Goblin leaves.
He took a sip, as if drinking in the misty rain of spring—fragrant, refreshing, and soothing...
Xie Juanhan closed his eyes and carefully sensed it.
It's strange, these are clearly autumn leaves, but when you put them into wine and drink it, it gives you the illusion of being in spring.
It was as if he were standing not in a kitchen, but in a lush green forest.
Xie Juanhan opened his eyes and met Telingewei's gaze.
Telingewei said softly, "Level 4 magic wine."
Xie Juanhan then realized that, compared to the taste, the quality of the magic wine had also improved significantly after incorporating Goblin leaves.
The original level-three magic wine has undergone a huge change in both its Magic Power content and taste.
It directly reached the quality of a level four magic wine, just like the Divine Goat Mead.
Xie Juanhan took another sip and sighed, "No wonder this wine tastes so special."
Telingewei swirled the wine, savoring it carefully. "Very refreshing and delicious."
Sylvan, drinking beside him, nodded vigorously in agreement.
The furry creatures drank without even lifting their heads.
The leaf wine was so sweet that Xie Juanhan resisted the temptation, kept half of it, carefully sealed it with protective magic, and put it deep in the cupboard.
He plans to wait until a major holiday to drink the other half.
The other family members were envious, but they didn't have any objections.
Having something to look forward to at home makes life feel more enjoyable.
Because they had been drinking, Xie Juanhan and the others went to bed early that night.
The courtyard was very quiet at night, as if it had fallen asleep as well.
However, in the middle of the night, the Magic Wand Tree standing in the yard was suddenly awakened.
"Chirp chirp?" The Magic Wand Tree sensed a peculiar presence.
It turned the branch, carefully sensing the scent.
After sensing for a while, it suddenly realized that the source of the aura was in the room of the two dragons.
It moved the branch closer to examine it carefully.
Because it was a little nervous, its branches hit the glass with a "snap," making a faint sound in the dead of night.
Telingewei opened his eyes immediately, turned to look at the window, grabbed his clothes from the bedside and threw them out to block the Magic Wand Tree's "view".
Startled by the noise, Xie Juanhan mumbled, "Did we forget to close the curtains?"
After asking the questions, his rationality returned slightly, and he realized that they hadn't actually done anything inappropriate for children.
"What's wrong?" Xie Juanhan propped himself up on the mattress with his elbows, intending to get up.
The moment he stood up, Xie Juanhan realized something was wrong.
A bunch of branches and leaves had appeared on his head without his noticing.
He instinctively reached out to pick the leaf.
As he plucked it, his scalp was tugged, and he realized that the branch was actually growing on his head.
Some of his hair turned into branches and leaves, just like the canopy of the Magic Wand Tree.
No wonder the Magic Wand Tree sensed something was wrong in the middle of the night.
Telingewei lit the whale oil lamp.
Xie Juanhan sat up, pulling his pajamas tighter around him. The leaves all over his head swayed and rustled with his movements.
Xie Juanhan covered his forehead. "Am I dreaming?"
Telingewei affirmed, "No."
"Does it hurt?" Telingewei gently touched the branch on his forehead.
"It doesn't hurt, it just feels like my hair was touched." Xie Juanhan reached out and touched Telingewei's head. "Don't you have any branches or leaves growing on your head?"
Telingewei shook his head. "Not at all."
Xie Juanhan paused, then said, "Am I the only one who's grown this big? I'll go check next door!"
The two dragons went to the study in the middle of the night to check on the furry creatures.
The furry creatures were still fast asleep, some snoring, others lying on their backs with their bellies up.
Two dragons entered the house, and the Magic Wand Tree also stretched its branches into the house.
The furry creatures were completely unaware that any creature had entered and continued to sleep soundly.
Xie Juanhan checked each head one by one.
Neither the Companion Beast's small heads had branches or leaves growing on them, nor did Moli and Nibote's large heads.
He's the only one who's grown up.
The furry creatures finally woke up when they were being checked.
They looked at the two dragons with sleepy eyes.
Harper quickly realized what was happening and her eyes widened. "Chirp?"
Xie Juanhan touched the leaves on his head. "Yes, I've grown leaves."
The furry creatures crowded around him, looking at him curiously. "Aww?"
Xie Juanhan: "No, I'm still a long way from becoming Little Tree."
"Chirp, chirp chirp?"
"I don't know why I have leaves either?" Xie Juanhan plucked a leaf. "They're different from the little Goblin's leaves."
The leaf Xie Juanhan plucked was a vibrant green, its shape somewhat resembling his scales.
He could sense that in addition to the characteristics of plants, the leaves also contained the Dragon Power he had condensed.
Telingewei reached out and ruffled his hair, then asked, "Does it really not hurt?"
Xie Juanhan turned his head. "I didn't feel anything. It was like snapping off a hair. At most, I felt a slight tug on my scalp when I snapped it off. It's so strange, how come leaves suddenly grew? And only I grew them, none of you did."
Looking at the branches and leaves that Xie Juanhan had grown, Telingewei said, "It's Divinity Conversion."
Xie Juanhan: "What?"
Telingewei: "It's not a law commonly found in reality, but a law of the gods, like the mead of the Divine Goat. The goat originally produced milk, but under the influence of this law, it was miraculously transformed into mead."
Xie Juanhan tugged at the branches overhead again, tearing off a large handful. "This is really strange."
Haxi and the others had a more peculiar focus; they were only curious whether the leaves were edible. "Chirp?"
Xie Juanhan: "Is it possible? I don't think it's poisonous, but it seems a bit bitter."
When he first plucked the leaves, he smelled a slightly bitter aroma, which must have been the scent of the leaves.
