Chapter 39

The flavors are completely different from those of ordinary bread, cakes, and biscuits.

They were eating pies in the kitchen.

Before I could eat more than a few bites, I heard the "click" of claws frantically stomping on the floor outside.

Xie Juanhan raised his eyebrows and pulled Telingewei back a little.

They had just stood in front of the kitchen counter.

"Bang--"

The kitchen door was kicked open.

Eight furry little creatures squeezed in together, several of them chin-to-chin, rolling around in a ball.

"Squeak!" The little guy who fell down didn't react to his own pain at all, but just looked up at the pie in Telingewei's hand and protested loudly.

Telingewei finished a nut pie with a "crunch, crunch," and calmly said, "Who's eating alone behind your backs? Why didn't you come by yourselves?"

Now even more little ones protested. "Chirp!"

Xie Juanhan had already taken a knife and plate to cut the pie. "Wait a moment, let me cut it a bit. The syrup is a little sticky, so it won't stick to your Changmao."

The Companion Beast immediately abandoned Telingewei and stopped arguing with him, all crowding at Xie Juanhan's feet, chirping softly.

Listening to the little clips clicking, Xie Juanhan quickly cut the pie into bite-sized pieces. "Almost done."

Xie Juanhan cut the pie into pieces before distributing them to the little guys, mainly to prevent them from eating too much at once.

He put two pies in each of the little ones' little plates.

The little ones took their little plates and obediently ran to the corridor outside to eat.

For a moment, the sound of clicking cameras echoed incessantly in the corridor outside.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei were still in the kitchen, eating pies and talking.

After exchanging only a few words, Telingewei suddenly turned his head to look towards the door.

"What's wrong?" Xie Juanhan asked.

"Something doesn't seem right," Telingewei whispered.

Xie Juanhan also lowered his voice. "You mean the little ones?"

"Hmm." Telingewei pulled Xie Juanhan's arm and gently walked to the window, glancing out at the side. "They're eating a little too fast."

Xie Juanhan listened intently and, sure enough, could no longer hear the "click" sound from outside.

Is this the unspoken understanding between dragons and their Companion Beast?

They were standing inside the window, and the little ones didn't see them.

Almost every little one ate one pie and left the other one behind.

Harper, the leader, was carrying a basket.

The little ones picked up their plates and dumped the remaining pie into their baskets.

Then, Harper, carrying the basket in its mouth, scurried away with its four paws, disappearing quickly into the corner of the house.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei looked out the kitchen window, but it was no longer possible to see it.

Only then did the remaining little ones start chirping.

They barked twice to indicate that they were going to play.

Telingewei: "Something's definitely not right."

Xie Juanhan: "When will they have this self-control? They won't even eat their favorite desserts."

Telingewei: "Follow them?"

Xie Juanhan: "Follow."

The two dragons followed.

Xie Juanhan deliberately manipulated the wind to isolate their voices and smells.

In this way, even the most perceptive little creatures would never be able to detect that they are following them.

They followed for a while and soon discovered that the Companion Beast were running towards the farmland.

Harper, the lead dog, ran very fast with the basket in its mouth, followed by the rest of the little ones in a line.

They crossed the forest, ran up the field ridge, and met up with the little Demon Wolf waiting there.

Xie Juanhan watched as Harper carried the basket to the little Demon Wolf: "Are you going to feed the little Demon Wolf? Has the little Demon Wolf not been eating enough lately?"

He hadn't been feeding the little Demon Wolf as much these past few days, but the little Demon Wolf wasn't starving.

After all, it's a ferocious beast, Demonic Beast.

The little guy has gradually learned to hunt and is able to catch some food every day.

Telingewei squinted. "No. If it were just to feed the Demon Wolf, they wouldn't be hiding like this."

"Who are they feeding?" Xie Juanhan had already seen the little Demon Wolf licking its lip. "No, they don't seem to be stopping."

Far away.

The Companion Beast reunited with the little Demon Wolf, and instead of stopping, they called for the little Demon Wolf to follow.

The little Demon Wolf was so hungry he kept licking his lips, drool dripping down his face, but he didn't make a sound asking for a pie.

It obediently followed.

You should know that the little Demon Wolf is a real whimperer when it's begging for food!

If you don't give it food, it will lie on the ground and roll around, exposing its soft belly, staring intently at its beggar with its big, dark eyes, grinning, and turning its big head from left to right and then from right to left.

They're very difficult to deal with.

The current situation--

Xie Juanhan wondered, "Could it be that they're raising a pet together?"

Who are we taking these nut flower pies to feed?

See you tonight!

Chapter 39 [VIP]

The Companion Beast, carrying baskets in their mouths, ran incredibly fast.

The little Demon Wolf hopped along on all fours, trying its best to keep up.

The little ones ran through fields, forests, and meadows, their tiny figures weaving among the giant plants, their destination clearly in sight.

Xie Juanhan had already figured it out and whispered to Telingewei, "The little guys seem to be going to find the Pixie. How strange, what are they going to do with the Pixie? Have a feast?"

After saying that, Xie Juanhan muttered a rebuttal to himself, "No, impossible. If it were a feast, they would definitely beg for food by begging, not secretly seeking out the Pixie to save their own share."

Telingewei: "Just follow them and you'll see."

Xie Juanhan: "Don't get too close, the Pixie are too perceptive."

Worried about being discovered by the Pixie, they stopped beforehand and stood behind a big tree, watching from afar as the little ones visited the Pixie.

"Chirp--Chirp--"

The Companion Beast stood on the open ground with their rear ends sticking out, calling out in all directions.

After a while, two faint "poof" sounds were heard in the air.

Several winged elves, dressed in gauze skirts and holding magic Pixie, appeared. "Chirp chirp."

Xie Juanhan manipulated the wind to carry the sounds from afar to their ears, listening carefully to the little ones' conversation.

"Chirp, chirp!"

As soon as the Companion Beast saw the Pixie appear, they came forward with baskets in their mouths and offered the Pixie pies.

One after another, the Pixie appeared, floating in the air, chirping at them and asking why they had come.

The Companion Beast chirped for a while, then made way, revealing the little Demon Wolf in the middle.

Seeing so many unfamiliar Pixie, the little Demon Wolf tucked its tail between its legs and tried to hide behind its Companion Beast: "Woof."

The Companion Beast surrounded the little Demon Wolf, watching the Pixie and chirping.

The little Demon Wolf mustered its courage and followed, "Awoo--woo--"

The little ones didn't communicate very well. Xie Juanhan and Telingewei, behind the tree, managed to catch a glimpse of the situation by listening to the sounds carried by the wind.

There must be something wrong with the crops, so the little ones asked the Pixie to come and bless them.

Xie Juanhan frowned as he recalled that they had just inspected the farmland and hadn't found anything wrong.

Could he have misjudged the situation, and some of the crops were actually diseased?

Telingewei turned to Xie Juanhan and asked in a low voice, "Should we go check the fields first?"

"Yes!" Xie Juanhan pulled Telingewei's arm and backed away. "Let's go first; the little ones might go to the fields too."

The two dragons rushed back to the farmland ahead of schedule.

Xie Juanhan stood on the edge of the field, inspecting the crops around him. "Strange, what crop is having a problem? They're growing perfectly well, aren't they?"

The surrounding crops were lush and green, without a single yellow leaf, showing no signs of any problem.

These are crops he grew using Dragon Power; theoretically, it would be difficult for them to grow poorly.

Telingewei looked at it with him, but they also couldn't see anything unusual.

A moment later, Telingewei suddenly asked, "Are those vegetables over there some kind of root vegetable?"

Xie Juanhan looked in the direction he was pointing.

There was a row of Orange Sweet Shoot over there.

It is probably closely related to plants such as parsnip and carrots, and they look somewhat similar, but its taste is more like sweet potato. When eaten raw, it has a slightly sweet taste, and when roasted, it becomes sweeter the longer it is roasted.

Xie Juanhan nodded. "It's Orange Sweet Shoot."

The Orange Sweet Shoot he planted were also growing extremely well; their stems and leaves above ground resembled giant shrubs.

"There might be something wrong with it," Telingewei said.

"Why? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong on the surface." Xie Juanhan walked over and examined the stems and leaves. "I checked it a couple of days ago; it's almost ripe."

Telingewei grabbed a handful of stems and leaves, intending to pull it up. "Let me see."

Upon pulling, Telingewei immediately realized something was wrong.

He encountered no resistance at all when he pulled up the Orange Sweet Shoot.

It appears to have been planted temporarily.

When we pulled it up, we took a look.

Beneath the enormous stem and leaves, there was surprisingly a short stem!

It looks like a giant green shuttlecock.

Xie Juanhan widened his eyes slightly as he looked at the Orange Sweet Shoot: "Wait, where are the Orange Sweet Shoot growing underneath?"

The Orange Sweet Shoot that were growing perfectly fine had their bottom parts cut off, leaving only a short section!

The cut surface was also exceptionally smooth.

It looks like it was cut by some kind of creature.

"It's Goblin," Telingewei said. "Maybe Goblin from the forest came out and stole the Orange Sweet Shoot."

"Is that the Goblin we encountered when we were looking for mushrooms last time?"
