Chapter 58 (continued)

The Companion Beast and the little Demon Wolf all have underfur, and the combs that Xie Juanhan commissioned from the Weaving Fairies can smooth their Changmao and underfur in one go.

The rounded tips of the comb feel very comfortable against the skin.

Habu was being groomed, and under Xie Juanhan's hands, he slowly flattened himself into a pancake, making gurgling noises in his throat, and gradually fell asleep.

After Xie Juanhan finished grooming it, he picked it up and placed it on a soft cushion, covered it with a blanket, and then beckoned the next furry creature to come forward.

Habi darted to the front and slipped under Xie Juanhan's hand.

Several furry creatures glared at it angrily.

It just tilted its head back and kept nudging Xie Juanhan's hand with its head, whimpering sweetly in its throat.

Xie Juanhan reassured the little ones, "Don't rush, we'll comb each one. We'll comb the back ones a little longer."

The little ones quieted down and lined up in the hallway.

Xie Juanhan combed the fur lightly and quickly, and soon a row of furry creatures lay behind him.

The little Demon Wolf was finally combed.

It lay on its back, paws outstretched, looking at Xie Juanhan with trusting eyes. "Waaah."

The little Demon Wolf is shedding a little, probably because it's still a semi-grown wolf cub and is currently shedding its baby fur to grow into its full coat, resulting in more loose fur.

Xie Juanhan patiently combed its fur little by little.

It was very cooperative, turning over when told to turn over and raising its paw when told to raise its paw.

When it's being groomed, no matter what position it's in, it always turns its head and stares intently at Xie Juanhan.

Xie Juanhan rubbed its belly.

This guy is too well-behaved.

After brushing all the little ones' fur, Xie Juanhan put the grooming tools back in the cabinet and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

At that moment, he heard a "thump".

The sound was very muffled, somewhat like the sound of a carrier bird landing in the yard, but much louder.

The little messenger birds didn't land so heavily.

Even those plump little messenger birds wouldn't make that noise.

Xie Juanhan was puzzled, so he quickly finished rinsing the soap in his hand and went out to see.

The little ones had just rolled over and stood up, and they all looked at the uninvited guests in the yard.

--It was a gigantic monster, half eagle and half lion!

Griffin.

Xie Juanhan immediately thought of this creature.

However, unlike the legendary Griffin with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion, it has the head of a lion and the body of a lion, except for its huge wings which are eagle wings.

No, it still retains some characteristics of an eagle.

The giant beast that flew over was carrying a huge bundle on its back.

The package, made of grayish-brown cloth, was patched up.

It's obvious that some intelligent being sent this giant beast flying here.

Xie Juanhan was about to wave and ask the Griffin a question.

The Companion Beast had already clearly seen what the Griffin looked like.

They immediately lay flat on the ground, ears tucked in, teeth bared, and roared threateningly at the giant beast before them, "Roar."

The Griffin tilted its head and looked at them, then flew forward without hesitation and swooped down on them.

The Companion Beast, not to be outdone, pounced forward, leaping several meters high and landing directly on the Griffin, snapping their jaws in attack.

Xie Juanhan stood aside, staring in disbelief at everything.

He soon discovered that neither the Companion Beast nor the Griffin were exerting any force.

They were rolling around in a fight, looking extremely intense, but in reality, they didn't lose many tufts of fur, let alone bleed.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

A tremendous roar echoed through the courtyard.

The little Demon Wolf stood there, completely bewildered.

Upon hearing the roars of its Companion Beast, it charged forward without hesitation, leaping up to bite the Griffin's hind claws.

"Chirp!" A Companion Beast, amidst its busy activity, opened its mouth to remind the little Demon Wolf to bite its front paws.

Biting the front paws makes it less likely to get kicked!!!

The little Demon Wolf, following its companion's instructions, instantly changed its position.

The Demon Bird, still hanging on the wall, finally realized what was happening and screamed in agony inside the fence.

"Coo-coo!" "Chirp-chirp!" "Chirp-chirp!"

After a series of frantic cries and desperate struggles, the bird lost quite a few feathers.

It's estimated that these little Demon Bird were the most severely injured in this fight.

Xie Juanhan, with a headache, shouted, "Stop hitting me!"

The furry creatures were fighting amongst themselves and wouldn't listen to anything.

The massive, patched-up package on the Griffin's back was quickly destroyed, its contents spilling onto the ground.

They actually dried fish that's been pickled and sun-dried!

Xie Juanhan eye and can see the dark brown fish meat, the translucent fish oil, and the golden fish roe inside the fish's belly.

It looks pretty delicious.

He felt a pang of heartache instantly.

Especially when they saw the dried fish scattered all over the ground, the Companion Beast didn't even glance at them, focusing only on fighting.

No, some people watch it too.

When Xie Juanhan saw two Companion Beast fighting, he glanced down, spotted the dried fish under its claws, and stomped on it hard.

It looks like they have a grudge against dried fish.

Little Demon Wolf shared the same idea as Xie Juanhan.

As it fought, saliva started dripping down its face.

Spotting a gap, it quickly lowered its head, grabbed a dried fish, and took two bites.

Good wolf.

Don't waste food.

Xie Juanhan thought to himself, "I can't take it anymore." He transformed into White Dragon, roared, and charged straight into the battlefield.

He grabbed the Griffin's wings with both claws and dragged it forcefully out of the yard.

It's alright, not too heavy.

It's at least not as heavy as Telingewei.

Xie Juanhan thought for a moment and dragged the Griffin a few more meters outside the yard.

The Griffin turned its head, looked at Xie Juanhan in front of it, and roared in a daze, "Roar!"

He was accused of taking sides.

Xie Juanhan stared at it. "Are you calm now? If you're not calm, I'll freeze you."

The Griffin groaned listlessly.

The Companion Beast on the ground were restless; seeing that the Griffin was under control, they clearly wanted to rush up and scratch it a few times.

Xie Juanhan knew what they were up to just by looking at their eyes. "Stop, stop, stop! If you hit me again, I'll tell Telingewei!"

The Companion Beast also became listless. "Chirp."

Xie Juanhan told the Griffin to stay obediently outside the courtyard, then transformed back into human form. He patted the little Demon Wolf, who was enthusiastically munching on dried fish, and instead of scolding it, he discussed with it, "Should we release the Demon Bird first?"

The little Demon Wolf looked up at the Demon Bird, who were terrified and had lost all their feathers. "Awooo!"

Xie Juanhan: "Should I put it down or should you do it?"

The little Demon Wolf rubbed against Xie Juanhan's hand, indicating that he could come over. "Awoo."

Xie Juanhan reached out and tapped on the vines entwined around the fence.

The vines loosened.

The trapped Demon Bird immediately emerged, flapping their wings and flying away in a state of shock.

Bird feathers fell all over the ground again.

Xie Juanhan rubbed his temples, pointed at the Griffin, and asked his Companion Beast, "What's wrong with this guy?"

The Companion Beast darted around, chirping.

Xie Juanhan: "A friend of Telingewei? How did they end up flying here?"

"Chirp."

"You only flew over after seeing you here? Who sent the dried fish? How are we going to treat this guy?"

"Chirp chirp chirp."

The Companion Beast howled incoherently, Xie Juanhan didn't get much information.

He bluntly said, "Or you can go and find Telingewei, and I'll talk to Telingewei?"

The Companion Beast chirped twice and then ran away.

The little Demon Wolf seemed to want to run with its friends too.

His eyes then fell on the dried fish on the ground, clearly reluctant to part with it.

Xie Juanhan casually picked up two dried fish and stuffed them into its mouth. "Go on."

The little Demon Wolf was delighted, wagged its tail, and quickly grabbed the dried fish, chasing after its friends.

Xie Juanhan provided the Griffin with food and water, let it rest outside the yard, and then returned it to the yard to collect the dried fish scattered all over the yard, clean up the bird feathers, and straighten the messy plants.

Telingewei hasn't arrived yet.

Xie Juanhan cut more branches and built a trellis for the broken plant.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that Telingewei arrived with a group of furry creatures.

"We went out to sea to fish today," Telingewei explained.

"I guessed it." Xie Juanhan asked him to sit down for a moment, then asked, "What's with the Griffin? Is this Griffin?"

Telingewei nodded. "It's the Griffin. It's probably been asked by my friend the Gargoyle to deliver this year's dried fish."

The Griffin roared loudly outside the yard, "Roar!"

This indicates that he was entrusted by the Gargoyle.

Xie Juanhan: "Wait, Gargoyle?"

Telingewei: "A kind of demon. Do you remember those stone statues on the rooftops used for drainage when we bought rice in Teme Port?"

As soon as he mentioned it, Xie Juanhan remembered it.

They were walking through the residential area of Teme Port when they saw that almost every house had a statue on its roof.

The statues mainly depict various fairies, demons, and Demonic Beast with their mouths wide open.

Xie Juanhan in surprise, "Are all those statues alive?"

"Not in residential areas. However, some castles hire Gargoyle as statues to stand on their rooftops; they are a type of guard."

"The statues we saw earlier were mainly carved in imitation of real Gargoyle."

Xie Juanhan, now having a concept of Gargoyle, exclaimed in surprise, "You actually have a friend like that?"

Xie Juanhan discovered that Telingewei was rather unconventional in making friends.

The Weaving Fairies were his friends, the adventurers were his friends, and the Gargoyle were his friends too.

Telingewei: "The friends I made when I was an adventurer also have exceptionally long lifespans."

Xie Juanhan understood. "No wonder."

The Griffin outside the yard. "Roar?"
