Chapter 64
Eermirisi: "Then I'll be waiting."
The little ones are still fast asleep.
They picked up the little ones, intending to take them into the room first.
While holding the little ones, Xie Juanhan noticed the nuts, mushrooms, and stems in the corner and felt a little apologetic. "The Pixie were scared away. I wonder if they got any wine in return?"
Eermirisi glanced at the wine jars on the shelf. "Didn't get any. The jars are still there."
Xie Juanhan: "Is that so?"
Eermirisi: "It's alright, I'll bring the wine to them in a couple of days."
Xie Juanhan thought for a moment, then looked at Telingewei: "Where was the place where the Tammi Kingdom used to worship the Elf? Shall we go and make offerings there?"
The kids have gotten into trouble; they need to apologize.
"It's not far, just inside the castle complex. There's a shrine in the ruins in the northwest corner. If you want to go, I'll show you."
"However, it's not convenient for me to go during the day. How about we go together at night? Or before sunrise or after sunset?"
"At those two points in time, although I was a bit stiff, I was able to move freely."
Xie Juanhan readily agreed, "How about tomorrow evening? We'll be preparing the appropriate offerings then."
Eermirisi agreed, "Then tomorrow evening, I'll bring a jar of wine over then."
The aged Tammi Golden Mead tastes sweet and must contain a significant amount of alcohol.
The little ones didn't fully wake up until the next morning.
The two dragons did not leave the room; they stayed inside to guard them.
The furry creatures, gradually regaining consciousness, dared not utter a sound.
The little Demon Wolf, in particular, lay on the mat with its paws outstretched. The wolf remained motionless, its eyes darting left and right, occasionally revealing glimpses of the whites of its eyes, making it look pitiful.
Xie Juanhan did not touch the little Demon Wolf.
They were already being lenient by not dragging the little guys over to scold them, let alone touching them to relieve their psychological stress.
If you do something wrong, you have to learn a lesson.
The little ones didn't get a comforting pat.
In the afternoon, Xie Juanhan and Telingewei baked cakes and drank Kronen tea, but they didn't get any.
The Companion Beast and the little Demon Wolf dared not protest.
The baby Griffin looked up, glancing at this and that, and opened its mouth as if to howl, but the other little ones pressed it down with their claws.
At most, they would let out a faint "whimpering" sound from their noses.
By evening, Eermirisi was finally able to move around and went down to find them.
Xie Juanhan served cake and Kthorn tea to Eermirisi.
Eermirisi took only a small bite into the cake before she couldn't resist holding it up to her eyes to look at it. "What kind of cake is this? It tastes so good!"
Xie Juanhan's cake is dense and soft, with a slightly molten center. The surface has a rich, sweet egg and milk aroma, while the middle is tangy and flavorful. The texture and taste are very rich, and it's not cloying at all.
Taking a bite of cake followed by a sip of Korson's tea with butter is simply a delightful experience.
Xie Juanhan: "In my hometown, we make it with a special kind of yogurt."
"Yogurt?" Eermirisi thought for a moment, "Yogurt made from Tata Fish milk?"
Xie Juanhan asked in surprise, "You knew?"
Eermirisi: "Telingewei also sent me Tata Fish, but I didn't finish it before it turned into yogurt, with a layer of rich, creamy, and silky milk skin on top."
Eermirisi held up the cake. "I've gotten to the creamy layer in the middle."
The little ones were already greedy, and hearing his description made them even more eager; they practically wanted to scratch the floor with their paws.
"Eek--"
The little ones looked mournful.
Harper ran up to Xie Juanhan, gently scratched his trouser leg with her front paw, and sat up straight. "Chirp chirp."
The other children followed suit, running over to sit up straight and admit their mistakes.
Even the little Demon Wolf and the little Griffin came running over a beat late, sitting down in a row. "Eek."
Telingewei looked at them.
They ignored Telingewei and stared at Xie Juanhan with their big, round eyes.
Its furry face was filled with pity.
Xie Juanhan: "Do you know you were wrong?"
The little ones drawled out, "Eek--"
The little Griffin was the last to react, following up in a soft, babyish voice: "Woo--"
Xie Juanhan then gestured to Telingewei to bring out the small cakes prepared for them.
However, each little guy can only get a small piece to taste.
This is completely different from when they eat to their heart's content when they haven't made any mistakes.
All the little creatures except the baby Griffin were quite disappointed.
The baby Griffin is different.
This is the first time this guy has ever eaten cake.
It took a small bite, its eyes wide, and chewed it with a "smack, smack" sound.
After chewing for a while, it took another bite, its eyes widened, and it continued chewing with a "pat-pat" sound.
Even with half a bite of cake and half a bite of air, they ate it with great relish.
After everyone finished eating the small cakes, Eermirisi regained some of her mobility.
They brought small cakes and fruit wine to offer to the Pixie.
However, given their strength, it would be more accurate to say they were being fed.
With Eermirisi leading the way, they bypassed the remaining magic circle and successfully followed the path through the ruins to the Pixie's altar.
They took out the small cakes and fruit wine and placed them on the altar, then stood guard in place.
Perhaps it's because Eermirisi is guarding this place.
After a while, a Pixie popped out from behind the rock with a "poof," leaving only its small head sticking out, watching them warily.
Eermirisi greeted, "Good evening."
The Pixie poked its head out a bit, and two more Pixie popped out, all looking at Eermirisi.
"We're so sorry about what happened yesterday. We brought you a small cake as an apology."
Eermirisi's voice was somewhat booming, but his expression was very gentle.
"I also brought the wine. Take a look and see if it's the kind of wine you like. If you don't like it, I'll get you a different jar tomorrow."
Even more Pixie appeared.
Two of the bolder Pixie climbed to the edge of the wine jar and lifted it to take a look.
Even the Pixie went to see the cake; judging from their expressions, they clearly really liked this type of sweet.
Xie Juanhan observed the Pixie and noticed that the Pixie here were about the same size as the Pixie in their Magic Forest, but their appearances were a little different.
The Pixie here have darker skin and more freckles on their faces.
They don't wear pointed hats, but instead have braided hair.
The Pixie were also secretly observing Xie Juanhan.
Xie Juanhan smiled at them, and they immediately hid shyly behind the wine jar and the cake.
"Chirp chirp," the Pixie chirped softly.
The Companion Beast twitched their pointed ears and stared intently at the Pixie.
These Pixie call just like the Pixie in the Magic Forest!
The Pixie seem to have a natural affinity for small animals.
They were frightened in the cellar yesterday, but today, seeing the little guys sitting obediently on the ground, they relaxed.
"Chirp chirp."
The Pixie accepted their apology in a soft, gentle voice.
However, most Pixie still hide their faces or bodies behind cover.
Xie Juanhan felt a pang of tenderness and said to Telingewei and Eermirisi, "How about we go back first?"
With them standing there, the Pixie couldn't easily carry the food back to their dwelling.
Telingewei nodded.
Eermirisi suddenly made a request to the Pixie: "My friends want to make wine; could you please bring out the wine jars you brought back earlier?"
In front of the Pixie, Eermirisi said to Xie Juanhan and the others, "The Golden Mead that the Pixie drank had better yeast growth, resulting in a sweeter and more fragrant wine."
Xie Juanhan understood that the wine jars the Pixie had drunk from were no different from those that had received their blessings.
The Pixie glanced at Xie Juanhan, their eyes filled with a hint of shyness.
However, they nodded in agreement.
The Pixie moved the small cakes and the wine jars that Eermirisi had brought to their hiding place, and then brought out the wine jars that had been emptied in previous years.
"Chirp chirp." The Pixie gently placed the wine jar on the open ground.
Then, in front of all the creatures, they raised their little magic wands and blessed the empty wine jar once more.
"Chirp." The Pixie glanced at them shyly yet proudly, then disappeared with a "poof, poof."
Xie Juanhan lifted the wine jar and gently opened the lid.
A sweet aroma of wine wafted from the wine jar.
The aroma of the wine is so rich that it is almost indistinguishable from the Elven Holy Wine.
No, it's a different style; this aroma has an amazing Spiritual Qi.
Xie Juanhan: "It smells wonderful."
The little ones, with their keen sense of smell, caught it too and immediately tugged at his trouser leg, wanting to smell it. "Aww!"
Xie Juanhan glanced down at them, first holding up the wine jar for Telingewei to smell, and then letting them smell it.
The little ones, smelling the alcohol, cried out in ecstasy, "Awooo!!!"
It smells so good!!!

See you tomorrow!
Chapter 64 [VIP]
Come again next year!
"Awooo!"
It was early morning, before the sun had risen.
After spending five days in this highland castle, Xie Juanhan and his group were about to return home.
The Gargoyle Eermirisi and the flock of Griffin that lived nearby came to see them off.
Telingewei transformed into a dragon.
Xie Juanhan sat on the back of the giant dragon, holding the baby Griffin, surrounded by a group of furry creatures.
The supplies they had gathered over the past few days, the wine jars given by the Elf, and the gifts from Eermirisi and the Griffin were tied to the dragon's back.
