An illiterate Paperman, that's all. How could it possibly understand the calligraphic and literary achievements of a great talent like me, Su Da? Even though I 'borrowed' a tiny bit from the internet, that doesn't diminish my brilliance and style as Great Breeder Su Da.

Utterly satisfied, Su Ping nodded. He once again waved to Xiao Qing at his side.

"Come on, let's go hang the couplets!"

"AWOO!"

"WUWAH!"

Rarely choosing to ride Xiao Qing, Su Ping arrived at the main gate of the Heart of Myriad Spirits. The little Paperman spat out two mouthfuls of paper pulp paste onto either side of the gate. Only then did Su Ping carefully affix the couplets.

At first glance, they looked like scribbles.

But if anyone questioned them, I could tell them that the couplets were written in ancient Serpentine Script. That would sound quite impressive!

Thinking of this, Su Ping smiled contentedly and nodded.

After confirming everything was secure, Su Ping, pleased, led the two little fellows back to the Heart of Woods.

At this moment, both little fellows had reached the Elite Tenth Stage.

During this period, Xiao Qing had been continuously absorbing both Wood Element and Poison System resources. Its strength had increased alongside the Paperman's, not falling behind in the slightest. It was estimated that, after a while more, breaking their race limit and reaching the Commander Level wouldn't be out of the question.

When they returned to the Heart of Woods, it was clear Old Sha's efficiency was commendable. In just a short while, Forest Wolves of all sizes were already waiting in the clearing within the Heart of Woods.

Meanwhile, over at the Forest Heart, the Life Ancient Tree, accompanied by the other Plant-based Pet Beasts, large and small, also emerged. Of course, only the Commander-Level Plant-based Pet Beasts were present. As for the remaining Ordinary and Elite Level ones, they were simply too numerous, and moving them all would have been inconvenient.

"AWOO!"

Old Sha sat at the edge of the forest in the Heart of Woods, his tail wagging as he awaited Su Ping's instructions. The others, including the many Plant-based Pet Beasts, did likewise, clueless as to what Su Ping had up his sleeve.

A smile touched Su Ping's lips as he looked at these Pet Beasts.

Fifty Forest Wolves, eleven Plant-based Pet Beasts, Old Sha, numerous Papermen, the Little Crow—a recent addition—flying above, and the little Sea Core Spirit Turtle whose presence was barely felt. These were all the Pet Beasts currently in the Heart of Myriad Spirits. They were the true Pet Beasts that genuinely belonged to the Heart of Myriad Spirits, possessing true loyalty and intelligence—not like those fish being raised in the Heart of Water. Of course, this also included the other Plant-based Pet Beasts and some of the ordinary Papermen who hadn't been moved and thus hadn't come.

The number of Pet Beasts before him wasn't large, but it certainly wasn't small either! However, for Su Ping's goals, this was clearly not enough. He had only been in charge of the Heart of Myriad Spirits for half a year; to have come this far in such a short time was quite an achievement. Su Ping believed that a year later, when New Year came again, this number would be even greater!

However, he kept these grand ambitions to himself. He simply smiled at all the 'little guys' before him and finally stated his purpose:

"Today is New Year's Eve, the last day of the year. This is the first time you've joined the big family of the Heart of Woods, but since it's a big family, I suppose you don't know much about each other yet, right? To promote harmony and mutual understanding, and since it's the Spring Festival, every Pet Beast must put on a performance! You can perform solo or as a group. But you must put your heart into it! Afterward, I will give you rewards. After the midnight bells chime, we will hold a New Year's red packet lottery!"

"AWOO!"

"WUWAH?"

"RUSTLE RUSTLE..."

"CAW?"

"AROO?"

A variety of questioning sounds arose.

But Su Ping left no room for negotiation.

"Anyway, if you don't perform, you won't be eligible for tonight's lottery! But you can take your time to think about it. I'm going to prepare our Heart of Myriad Spirits' New Year's Eve dinner now! The performances will officially start at six o'clock tonight!"

Su Ping's words immediately threw all the Pet Beasts present into a commotion.

A performance? What kind of performance? What could Pet Beasts like us possibly perform?

However, at this moment, a small fellow whom everyone had previously overlooked finally perked up.

Its chubby body spinning rapidly on the table, Feifei communicated with words formed by spiritual power:

"Comrades, if there's anything you don't understand, you can come to me. Although I don't know how to choreograph your performances, I can search online. There are all sorts of acts involving pets performing together! However, if you want my help, you'll need to let me inspect your bodies, okay?"

Feifei's enticing voice rang out.

This 'body inspection' wasn't anything improper. It was purely to obtain firsthand data on the actual Pet Beasts within the Heart of Dreams, to perfect its records on the growth and cultivation of the corresponding Pet Beasts.

As soon as these words were spoken, some Pet Beasts that understood Feifei's meaning, Old Sha included, quickly gathered around the mechanical orb.

While arrangements were busily underway over there, Su Ping went to the kitchen, not staying idle either. On a day like New Year's Eve, preparing the reunion dinner was undoubtedly quite an interesting endeavor. However, the New Year's Eve dinner he was making wasn't for himself, a human, to eat. It was for the various Pet Beasts.

First, there was food for the Forest Wolves. For the ordinary Forest Wolves of the pack, Su Ping's main dish was, naturally, tree fruit salad.
