Chapter 57
Many vegetables were ripped open, and many rice stalks were damaged.
As it rushed in, the Demon Bird calmly took flight, food in its beak.
The little Demon Wolf angrily chased after the Demon Bird, wanting to bite it. "Awooo!"
Unfortunately, there were too many Demon Bird.
The little Demon Wolf tried to bite this one, but it flew up, while the other Demon Bird landed some distance away and continued eating.
The little Demon Wolf changed direction and chased other Demon Bird, causing the Demon Bird that had been heading in the same direction to fall back down.
"Awoo--"
The little Demon Wolf howled angrily and kept chasing away the birds in the farmland.
The Demon Bird had rather average stamina; after being chased around twice, they finally flapped their wings and flew away.
There are also some unkind Demon Bird that will deliberately fly right in front of it and defecate there.
The little Demon Wolf, with its short legs, looked around the farmland, running and howling as it went.
The whimpering sound carried far.
Herds of Companion Beast rushed out of the Magic Forest.
They were carrying food in their mouths, clearly for the little Demon Wolf cub.
Hearing the little Demon Wolf howling in the farmland, the Companion Beast chirped, "Chirp?"
Little Demon Wolf: "Awoo--"
Soon, the furry creatures gathered together.
The Companion Beast also discovered that the crops in the farmland had been pecked at.
The little Demon Wolf was so angry that it kept pawing at the ground, howling, "Awooo--"
The Companion Beast comforted it, chirping.
Little Demon Wolf: "Woo-woo--"
Harper walked up to it and licked its fur. "Chirp."
The little Demon Wolf felt even more aggrieved. "Waaah!"
When Xie Juanhan woke up, Telingewei had brought food from Teme Port and was waiting for him.
Foie gras terrine, honey-roasted chicken, Pacasca meatballs, smoked venison, Elven Holy Wine... exquisite foods are displayed in the basket, a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.
Xie Juanhan looked at Telingewei: "Why did you go to Teme Port today?"
Telingewei pulled a pendant out of his collar. "I had someone make a pendant for me."
"Heavens." Xie Juanhan looked at the pendant, his ears burning again. "How did you manage to weave the Demon Crocodile's Demonic Core into a pendant?"
Telingewei: "Monument."
Xie Juanhan couldn't help but smile, "Then I should get a pendant too."
Telingewei: "I'll take you."
They went to the kitchen, set out the food, and sat down at the table to eat dinner face to face.
Xie Juanhan exclaimed, "It tastes really good!"
Telingewei: "The chefs from the Aquinalin Region are really good at cooking. Sometimes when I'm craving it, I'll fly all the way to Teme Port just to eat there."
"Would it taste better if we ate it on the spot?"
"The food smells better when it's fresh out of the pot. If you'd like to try it, we can go in the next couple of days."
"Dating?"
"Dating."
The two didn't say anything special, but the atmosphere became sticky and intimate.
Just then...
The Companion Beast rushed in from outside, their claws slipping as they charged so fast.
"Chirp chirp!" The Companion Beast paid no attention to their slippery claws and rushed to the feet of the two dragons, chirping anxiously.
Xie Juanhan didn't quite hear. "What happened?"
Telingewei lifted Harper up and touched its forehead. "Something happened to Moli."
Xie Juanhan immediately stood up. "Ah?!"
The Companion Beast grabbed Xie Juanhan's trouser leg and chirped, "Chirp!"
Xie Juanhan casually scooped up the Companion Beast at his feet and held them in his arms. "Let's go take a look."
As soon Xie Juanhan stepped out, he transformed back into his dragon form, carrying his Companion Beast as he flew towards the farmland.
Telingewei also transformed into a dragon, carrying the remaining Companion Beast as it followed behind him.
When they arrived at the farmland, the little Demon Wolf was lying on the edge of the field.
Xie Juanhan landed on the ground, transformed into human form, and stepped forward. "Moli?"
The little Demon Wolf suddenly stood up, crying as it rushed towards Xie Juanhan.
Xie Juanhan squatted down.
The little Demon Wolf rushed up to him, buried its big head in his chest, and whimpered pitifully.
"What's wrong?" Xie Juanhan patted the little Demon Wolf's fluffy bottom. "What happened?"
The little Demon Wolf whimpered and complained.
It was so sleepy today that it took a nap in its nest.
While it slept, the Demon Bird flew down and ate a lot of vegetables and rice.
So many!
"Waaah," the little Demon Wolf whimpered, feeling utterly wronged.
It had been guarding the vegetables and rice for a long time, but it got sleepy today, and the vegetables and rice were eaten.
Xie Juanhan looked up at the farmland.
You can definitely see that some of the vegetables have been eaten by the Demon Bird.
But--
The little Demon Wolf was sleepy during the day, making it difficult to guard him properly.
It seems like it was his fault.
If he hadn't taken the little Demon Wolf hunting last night, the little Demon Wolf wouldn't have been sleepy during the day, and the Demon Bird wouldn't have dared to steal vegetables and rice so brazenly.
Xie Juanhan felt unusually guilty and exchanged a glance with Telingewei.
Telingewei's eyes were smiling.
Xie Juanhan coughed lightly and hugged the little Demon Wolf tighter. "It's alright, it's gone, the loss isn't too great."
The little Demon Wolf whimpered pitifully, "Waaah!"
It has diligently guarded the crops for so long!
That's not just a small loss, it's its dignity!

Chapter 57 [VIP]
Xie Juanhan held the chubby little Demon Wolf and gently patted its rump to comfort it.
Telingewei was with him.
The Companion Beast also obediently squatted in place.
After holding him for a while, the little Demon Wolf was still whimpering, but the sound had become softer.
Xie Juanhan felt that the front of his clothes was a little wet; the little one must have been crying.
His heart softened completely.
"How about we eat first?" Xie Juanhan asked the little Demon Wolf who refused to pull his head out.
The little Demon Wolf continued to whine, "Eek."
Xie Juanhan: "Let's catch two silverfish later, scrape off the meat, and make them into delicious and bouncy fish balls?"
The little Demon Wolf's soft, thick ears twitched.
Xie Juanhan looked up at Telingewei and said, "Let Telingewei hunt another white bird? We'll make a fragrant white bird soup in an earthenware pot, and then use the bird soup to cook fish balls. One fish ball, one sip of soup."
The little Demon Wolf stopped whimpering.
The Companion Beast had what appeared to be water stains around their mouths, glistening.
Xie Juanhan continued, "After the bird soup is ready, we'll scoop out the white bird meat and make a hand-shredded white bird dish."
"Tear the bird meat into strips, add lemon juice, fish soy sauce, Spicy Clam sauce, and some chopped nuts. Pour a spoonful of bird broth over it, and mix it all together—make it sour, fragrant, and spicy. One bite, and you're enveloped in the rich flavor of bird meat and broth..."
"Gulp."
The whimpering stopped, and all around came the sound of people swallowing hard.
Xie Juanhan lowered his head and asked, "How is it?"
The little Demon Wolf let out a muffled "Awooo" in his arms.
Xie Juanhan gently rubbed its neck. "Shall we go?"
Telingewei also rubbed its neck.
Two hands touched its neck, and the two dragons looked at each other.
The little Demon Wolf was completely oblivious, and simply stood up listlessly, following behind Xie Juanhan.
Xie Juanhan called to his Companion Beast, "Harper, let's go catch some silverfish."
Companion Beast: "Chirp!"
The silverfish are kept in the pond next door.
Xie Juanhan let the little Demon Wolf and its Companion Beast order food, choosing whichever they wanted to catch.
They quickly caught two of the biggest and fattest silverfish, and carried them back to make fish balls.
Telingewei kept his promise and went deep into the Magic Forest to hunt a plump white bird.
Thanks to the efforts of the two dragons, the little ones were able to eat bird soup with fish balls and mixed white bird meat when it got dark.
The fish balls are smooth and delicious, the bird soup is rich and fragrant, and the mixed bird meat is even more appetizing because of the addition of Spicy Clam, with the bird skin inside being fragrant and smooth.
The little ones were eating intently in the hallway, until they were completely full.
Xie Juanhan looked at the little Demon Wolf, whose mood had clearly improved, and said, "After a nap, when we wake up tomorrow, we'll be a happy little wolf again."
The little Demon Wolf licked his fingers, its round eyes full of trust. "Awoo."
Dinner was absolutely delicious tonight.
The little Demon Wolf returned to its den, its belly still bulging.
It lowered its head and licked its soft belly, then looked up at the moon: "Awoo--"
The little Demon Wolf let out a long howl.
The more it howls, the more energetic it becomes.
It stood up, stretched out its paws, and gave a yawn, then shook its fur.
Then, it trotted off to patrol the farmland.
The evening breeze was already a bit chilly.
The little Demon Wolf's wet nose twitched as it sniffed the surrounding scents.
Soon, it caught the scent of the Demon Bird.
It tilted its head back and sniffed, tracing the scent in the wind.
It quickly followed the scent to a tree at the edge of a farmland.
Not only did the tree smell of the Demon Bird, but there was also a warm object on it.
The little Demon Wolf stared at the tree branch for a long time.
The Demon Bird's claws were gripping the tree, its head tucked under its wings, fast asleep.
The little Demon Wolf crouched low, assuming a hunting posture.
It found a good angle, waited quietly for a while, and then suddenly jumped, leaping more than two meters high, and caught the Demon Bird sleeping on the branch in its mouth.
