Chapter 235
After they ran over, they stretched out their long, thin little hands and pounced on the trunk, giving the Magic Wand Tree a hug.
"Chirp chirp." The Magic Wand Tree emitted a deep, gentle sound and lightly stroked the little Goblin with its branches.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the little Goblin placed their baskets on the ground and then used their little hands to scoop out handfuls of brown stuff from the baskets and place them on the roots of the Magic Wand Tree.
That wasn't fertilizer, but soil mixed with spores.
The Magic Wand Tree sent a message via a little messenger bird, asking the little Goblin for mushroom spores.
Goblin already had a habit of cultivating mushrooms, and now that they have stable Goblin villages, they are cultivating even more mushrooms of a wider variety.
They gave the Magic Wand Tree the best-tasting variety of mushrooms.
The Magic Wand Tree chirped a reminder to the Goblin to keep the secret.
The little Goblin happily agreed.
The little Goblin grew up under the Magic Wand Tree and could communicate with it without much difficulty.
They came quietly, and they left quietly.
Apart from the tree in question, no intelligent life knew that they had been there.
The Magic Wand Tree used its roots to gather some extra soil and fallen leaves, gently covering the spores.
It also slightly increased the temperature of the soil.
This is simple for a level 4 magical plant, but raising the temperature a little will make the mushrooms grow better.
Unbeknownst to anyone at home, the mushroom spores given to them by the Goblin were growing wildly near the roots of the Magic Wand Tree.
On the third day alone, they grew into moist and beautiful mushrooms.
Moli has a keen nose; as it passed through the yard, it smelled a hint of mushrooms.
It stood under the Magic Wand Tree, tilting its head.
"Chirp?" Haxi had already run past Moli, then ran back and stood in front of it, asking curiously, "Chirp?"
Moli looked at the Magic Wand Tree, sensing something was wrong. "Awoo."
Moli's chirping awakened the Magic Wand Tree from its slumber. "Chirp? Chirp chirp."
The Magic Wand Tree asked Moli if he smelled mushrooms.
Before Moli could answer, the Magic Wand Tree eagerly lifted the fallen leaves and soil from its roots, revealing plump mushrooms.
Haxi's pupils dilated, he tilted his tail to one side, staring in shock at the Magic Wand Tree, asking when it had grown mushrooms, "Chirp?!"
Haxi also called to the other Companion Beast and Nibote: "Chirp--chirp--"
The furry creatures ran over, ignoring their slippery paws, and all stood under the Magic Wand Tree, watching the mushrooms that had quietly sprouted from it.
The Magic Wand Tree proudly declared, "Didn't we say we were going to bring gifts for the dragons of another world? Well, this is what we've decided to bring!"
The furry creatures looked at the perfectly shaped and adorable mushroom with envy in their eyes.
Habei and Nibote felt a mixture of envy and craving.
The Magic Wand Tree then invited them to try it.
"Chirp," the Magic Wand Tree murmured.
- These are all mushrooms that can be eaten raw.
Fresh mushrooms are almost extinct in winter.
They haven't had mushroom cream soup, mushroom sauce pies, and other similar delicacies for a long time.
Upon hearing the invitation from the Magic Wand Tree, Habei didn't hesitate to snatch a mushroom from under the tree.
It's still the biggest one!
Harper and the others didn't have time to stop them.
In the blink of an eye, Habei was already squatting under the tree, chewing away.
Nibote also ate with great relish.
Looking at their peaceful expressions, the furry creatures finally asked the most profound question, "Chirp?"
-Is it tasty?
Habei nodded vigorously.
The other furry creatures couldn't resist either, and they all picked out mushrooms to try.
The mushrooms from the Magic Wand Tree are indeed excellent—fresh and crisp, with a flavor comparable to Cloud Mushroom, and they carry the unique aroma of the Magic Wand Tree.
It smelled of magma and plants.
Haxi fell into deep thought.
After swallowing the mushroom in its mouth, it announced, "Chirp!"
It wants to grow mushrooms too!
Harper and her friends were at their wits' end.
In the Magic Forest, there are very few things suitable as gifts to take to another world.
Mushrooms like these would be perfect.
Especially the mushrooms they grow themselves, their flavor is absolutely unique.
The furry creatures sneaked off to the Goblin village and then sneaked back.
From that day on, they rarely went outside, instead staying by the warm, humid hot spring, looking like they were incubating eggs.
Xie Juanhan initially suspected that they had picked up some eggs or small animals and were secretly raising them by the hot spring.
After observing for two days, we found nothing unusual; the furry creatures just sat by the hot spring, not wanting to move.
Xie Juanhan couldn't hold back any longer.
Xie Juanhan dragged Telingewei along to catch these guys.
When they went over to the hot spring, the furry creatures were indeed nestled by the spring.
Xie Juanhan even saw the dent in the ground left under Nibote's buttocks from squatting for too long.
He was initially just full of doubts, but seeing this scene, he became genuinely worried that he might have been neglecting the furry creatures because he had been busy preparing to go home these past few days.
"Nibote?" Xie Juanhan reached out and touched Nibote's forehead. "Are you feeling unwell?"
He's asked this question several times already.
Nibote would look left and right each time, but avoid making eye contact with him.
He got no answers from her.
Just like this time, Nibote glanced down at the ground to indicate that everything was alright. "Meow?"
"Nothing wrong, my foot." Xie Juanhan flicked its head and then its paw, frowning. "You guys are always holed up here, never moving around. You're practically growing mushrooms."
As he spoke, Xie Juanhan actually flicked a small, moist, and adorable orange mushroom off Nibote's thigh with his fingertip.
At first glance, it looks like a glass mushroom ornament, and it's quite cute.
Nibote felt something fall, turned around and saw a small mushroom. His world collapsed. "Meow!"
It suddenly stood up, and because of the large movement, several plump and cute mushrooms fell off its body with a "plop plop".
Nibote froze, standing there with his front paws raised, like a statue, only his eyes darting around, revealing a bit of the whites of his eyes.
The other furry creatures looked on with great regret, and even Moli glanced at the fallen mushrooms with some disappointment.
If the two dragons still can't see through the trickery at this point, they'll have wasted all those years of their lives.
Xie Juanhan slapped Nibote on the forehead. "What are you doing? Confess honestly, or we'll let Telingewei read your memories."
Telingewei raised an eyebrow.
The Companion Beast quickly moved their paws backward, rejecting them with their actions. "Chirp!"
Nibote carefully lay back down to avoid falling on himself with more mushrooms. "Meow."
The Companion Beast: "Chirp, chirp."
Moli also let out a soft wolf howl. "Awooo."
With the furry creatures' explanation, Xie Juanhan finally understood their mushroom-growing plan.
Xie Juanhan felt both touched and amused. "How did you come up with such a plan?"
The furry creatures immediately let out a series of howls and chirps, indicating that they had gotten their inspiration from the Magic Wand Tree.
They had grown mushrooms before, and those mushrooms were delicious; they wanted to grow them again.
Mushrooms did indeed grow on Harper's fur, Xie Juanhan even used Dragon Power to help them sprout.
Looking at the earnest, furry creatures.
Xie Juanhan actually understood their thoughts.
In some ways, they have a surprisingly strong sense of self-esteem.
They felt that since they were going to see the dragon they valued, they wanted to bring gifts to avoid embarrassing Telingewei.
Xie Juanhan squatted down, looked at the furry creatures, and asked, "Should I apply some Dragon Power to you? That will make you grow faster."
The furry creatures hesitated, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Xie Juanhan waited patiently on the side.
They stammered for a long time, but still couldn't get the words out.
Finally, the impatient Haxi couldn't hold back any longer. He closed his eyes, stiffened his neck, and started yelling, "Chirp chirp chirp!"
Xie Juanhan listened carefully before he understood.
The furry creatures wouldn't want to use Dragon Power to activate their abilities; that would seem insincere.
They wanted to prepare the mushrooms in advance to try them out, lest they grow bad mushrooms and give them to other dragons, which would be a disgrace to the beasts.
They are the beasts that represent Telingewei!
Telingewei a warmth in his heart and gently patted Harper on the back of the neck.
Xie Juanhan said earnestly, "Of course, we can have a delicious meal before heading off on our long journey."

See you tomorrow!
Chapter 235 [VIP]
Harper and the others insisted on waiting for the mushrooms on their bodies to grow naturally.
They patiently and diligently nurtured the mushrooms by the hot spring for several days.
After Xie Juanhan confirmed that the mushrooms would not cause lung infections in them, he left them alone.
It's good that they've been busy preparing to go home lately, and the furry little ones are growing mushrooms near their house instead of running around.
One morning, before dawn, the surface of the hot spring was shrouded in morning mist, and the sky looked particularly gentle.
Habi woke up first.
It yawned so hard you could see its throat, then licked its lips.
Just as it remembered to move around, it suddenly turned its head to look at itself.
The mushroom on its body has finally grown up and looks like a small umbrella.
Habi's eyes widened, then he gasped, "Aww--"
The cry startled the nearby little Demon Bird, and also startled the other fluffy creatures, causing them to jump up on the spot. "Chirp?!"
From lying down to standing up, the furry creatures took less than half a second.
