Chapter 225

The Golden-Horned Deer leader asked in surprise, "Why?"

Xie Juanhan: "Because we deciphered part of the scrolls we obtained from the Peiaonuoer Hunting Grounds, and learned the brewing method for a special magical wine."

Golden-Horned Deer Chieftain: "Did the Elf help decipher it? Was it mead?"

"Pretty much, Kuitifulong also provided some inspiration," Xie Juanhan chuckled. "It's berry mead."

A level four magical wine, brewed from level three magical plants and fine wine lees, capable of nourishing the body.

They planned to brew it to nourish Moli and Nibote.

To prevent Moli and Nibote from suffering accidents due to insufficient physical strength when they are teleported back to their hometown via the magic circle.

Chapter 225 [VIP]

That day, Xie Juanhan was still asleep when he heard the little ones screaming in the yard.

He sensed something, opened his eyes, and turned to look out the window.

The windows were indeed bright white, with clear sunlight streaming in from outside the glass, illuminating even the grain of the wood on the windowsill.

"It's snowing," Telingewei whispered beside him.

He slightly raised his upper body, the blanket was pulled up, and air entered the bed, carrying the unique chill of a snowy day.

Xie Juanhan turned to look at him. "Yes, it's snowing."

The first snow of the year has finally fallen.

After finishing breakfast, Xie Juanhan's fluffy dog couldn't wait to grab a basket, wag its tail, and run out to pick Star Berry.

The Star Berry from their orchard have been left on the branches to dry and concentrate for so long, they're finally ready to be picked!

Awooo!

Xie Juanhan looked at the rows of lively footprints ahead, but didn't tell the furry creatures to slow down.

He simply held Telingewei's hand and walked slowly behind.

I've been so busy lately, it's a rare treat to take a break on this snowy day.

Hearing the noise, the Goblin living near the berry fields poked their heads out of the village. "Squeak?"

Xie Juanhan waved to them from afar. "No need for help, you can rest. It's too cold, don't let yourself get chilled."

The Goblin tilted their potato-like faces up to catch the snowflakes, took a look, and didn't insist anymore. They only told Xie Juanhan to call out "Squeak!" if they needed help.

Xie Juanhan: "Understood, we'll call you immediately if anything happens."

The Goblin returned to their semi-underground dwellings.

Harper and the others, on the other hand, ran wild.

The fresh snow had been falling for most of the day, and now it had piled up into a thick layer, making a soft, crunching sound when you stepped on it.

Nibote, who often waded in the mud, and because he didn't live in the study, wouldn't be forcibly dragged away to have his paws washed, left a few black paw prints when he first stepped in the snow.

It stepped on it many times, leaving the mud from its paws on the snow. The paw prints that followed were the perfect white plum blossom patterns.

When Xie Juanhan and Telingewei strolled into the field, the furry creatures had already excitedly left many paw prints in the snow. Now, they finally snapped out of their reverie and began searching for the Star Berry hidden beneath the snow.

These Star Berry were specially reserved for them.

The Star Berry had been growing on the branches for a long time, so they weren't very juicy, their skin was a bit wrinkled, and they were somewhat overripe.

However, it has a complex aroma that blends various berry scents, and it smells very sweet.

If it weren't for the protective rune templates they had specially placed in the berry field, the Demon Bird would have ruined all these Star Berry long ago.

With its protective function, the Demon Bird cannot reach the berries on the branches; they can only eat the unripe berries that fall to the ground and roll out of the protective range.

Nevertheless, these fruits nourished the Demon Bird very well.

At that moment, the Demon Bird also rushed over, pawing at the snow with their claws and grabbing at the frozen insects underneath to eat.

The Demon Bird were a little afraid of the furry creatures and the two dragons; as soon as they saw them, they took off running from a great distance.

Only fluffy creatures remained in the snow, looking like a traditional Chinese ink painting from afar.

The furry creatures, resembling animals in a painting, are currently eating berries from the branches.

Concentrated Star Berry and fresh Star Berry taste completely different.

After the snowfall, the cool, refreshing Star Berry become even more tempting.

Harper and the others specifically target the large Star Berry. They use their paws to scavenge them, and once the berries fall to the ground, they pick them up, crack a small opening with their sharp teeth, and then suck the sweet and rich flesh into their mouths.

Immediately afterwards, they plopped down on the snow, closed their eyes, and carefully felt the pulp slowly melting in their mouths, maximizing their enjoyment of the delicious Star Berry.

Seeing the furry creatures looking delighted with their food, Xie Juanhan reached out and picked two large berries, sharing one with Telingewei, and they too slowly savored them in the berry patch.

"It smells so good!" Xie Juanhan couldn't help but exclaim. "It tastes just like lava nut butter."

Sweet, rich, and smooth—how is this different from jam?

It might even have more calories than jam?

Telingewei nodded. "You can take it back and spread it on bread."

Xie Juanhan: "You know what, it actually seems feasible."

Xie Juanhan and the others slowly searched for berries under the snow.

The furry creatures ate a few more and then sat listlessly in the snow, no longer wanting to move.

Perhaps the Magic Power and sugar content are too concentrated.

They were a little intoxicated by the berries.

When Xie Juanhan passed by them, he would casually lift them by the scruff of their necks and ask, "Aren't you cold?"

Harper and the others are all fire-attribute Demonic Beast. Each one has smooth fur and soft belly. When they sit in the snow, they can make a dent in their buttocks in no time. Even their tails have special shallow dents.

The snow isn't that cold, but the melted snow can freeze your bottom.

Xie Juanhan even wondered if their bottoms were numb from the cold, otherwise how could they sit in the snow pit without any reaction?

The furry creatures aren't cold.

As soon as he picked them up, the furry creatures seemed to come back to life, wriggling in his hands and kicking the snow with their paws.

Xie Juanhan put them down, and they spontaneously started a snowball fight.

They used their claws to poke at the snow, splashing it at each other, their excited sounds echoing throughout the berry field.

The Companion Beast also let out a "whoosh" laugh.

Nibote, who was naturally lively and active, immediately joined in when he saw his Companion Beast having a snowball fight.

Moli originally didn't want to lower himself to the level of these childish guys.

However, the furry creatures clearly weren't willing to let this big, Demon Wolf go.

Some Companion Beast that couldn't defeat their companions Moli as cover.

Moli stood in the middle, splashed by snowflakes from both sides.

It howled like a wolf and quickly joined in, attacking all the furry creatures indiscriminately.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei were not immune to the impact even while walking in the farmland.

After Nibote splashed snow all over his face, Xie Juanhan spat out the snow that had gotten into his mouth, then made a snowball and threw it at Nibote's head. "Now that's what you call a snowball fight!"

Snowballs are much more powerful than scattered snow.

Nibote felt a throbbing pain in his forehead and immediately charged towards Xie Juanhan like a wild golden retriever.

Xie Juanhan threw snowballs at it, and Telingewei also threw snowballs at it.

Nibote's Griffin was attacked by two dragons and was smashed to pieces, squealing loudly.

Without any instruction, it dragged its long tail, twirled a clump of snow, rolled it into a snowball, and swung it up to hit the two dragons.

"Wow!" Xie Juanhan exclaimed, intrigued. "Nibote, you know that trick too? Let's try again!"

Without hesitation, Nibote used his tail to grab a clump of snow, rolled it, and created a perfectly round snowball, which he then hurled at the two dragons. "Roar!"

Xie Juanhan: "Take this snowball!"

Throwing snowballs at each other is much more fun than splashing snow on each other.

Soon, all the furry creatures learned to make snowballs with their tails or paws.

They joined forces to fight the two dragons, hurling snowballs all over the farmland.

Xie Juanhan pulled Telingewei along as they ran and fought back.

The furry creatures were quickly covered in bumps and bruises, howling angrily.

They played in the berry field all day, and by evening they were carrying berries back home, but they hadn't picked many berries, and many of them were broken.

Xie Juanhan picked out the smashed Star Berry: "Luckily, we're making berry wine, otherwise it would be such a waste for these Star Berry to rot."

The furry creatures showed no sign of reflection, only urging, "Awooo!"

Xie Juanhan: "Right away, right away."

Xie Juanhan took out the fine wine lees they had obtained from the Peiaonuoer Hunting Grounds, opened the jar, scooped three large spoonfuls of fine wine lees into the earthenware basin, and then poured in the Star Berry.

Telingewei used a pestle to crush the Star Berry and mix them with fine lees.

The Star Berry aroma, already extremely rich due to the condensation of time, is now even more intense when mixed with fine lees, forcing them to open the windows.

Otherwise, they probably wouldn't be able to resist eating all that berry puree right now.

Despite having to brew wine, Xie Juanhan couldn't resist setting aside an extra bowl of berry puree and pulling Telingewei to make ice cream first.

Their homemade ice cream is frozen, scooped into balls, and then topped with a thick spoonful of berry puree.

This ice cream is served on a gold plate and eaten with a gold spoon.

With every spoonful, they could taste the smooth, rich milky flavor and honey-like sweetness of the ice cream.

The furry creatures have always loved sweets and are completely unable to resist this kind of ice cream.

After finishing their ice cream, they were even more eager for the freshly poured Star Berry wine.
