Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After thoroughly accepting its fate as a dog, it could be said that Loopy Toad had assimilated further into modern cultivation life, and since No . 60 High School, had gradually integrated into the Wang family . The old man only knew that Loopy Toad used to be a demon king, and had never brought up its original identity .
Anyone would be curious, but the old man was keenly aware that as a former demon king, Loopy Toad also had its pride .
The past was the past; now, he just treated Loopy Toad as a member of the Wang family . It was enough for him to know that it was a loyal dog .
Therefore, the person Loopy Toad was the closest to in the Wang family after Little Master Ling was Grandfather Wang .
Teacher Pan had borrowed Loopy Toad for a few days for the military training . It appeared to have lost a lot of weight, which made the old man's heart ache just looking at it . Actually, it wasn't that Loopy Toad had gotten thinner, but that it now had a far more refined-looking body after advancing in its cultivation, creating the mistaken impression that it looked "thin . "
But the old man didn't understand any of this . Seeing that Loopy Toad was thinner, he began to rack his brains for nutritious meals to feed it so that it could become "Toad Zhuangshi 1 . "
That evening, while Wang Ling had dinner, the old man prepared an additional meal for Loopy Toad . Wang Ling saw the old man spin a ladle familiarly in the kitchen as he smiled at Loopy Toad at his feet . "At my age, how much longer do you think I can live for?"
Loopy Toad suddenly raised its head and looked suspiciously at the old man; it didn't know why he would suddenly bring up this sad topic .
It didn't know any techniques for measuring fate, but it knew how to read faces a little, and it was very certain in its heart that for the old man to live to a ripe old age was definitely not a problem .
"Even if I can live to be ninety, that's less than thirty years away . You are a demon king, and you know how to cultivate . Shouldn't you live longer than me?"
The old man smiled inanely and squatted down to rub Loopy Toad's head . "No matter how long I'll be able to stay with you or who you'll guard the house for in the future, right now, you are my family's dog . "
Wang Ling looked at this scene through the doorway .
He saw that Loopy Toad actually had tears in its eyes .
. . .
After dinner was when the old man would watch TV .
Based on Mother Wang's recommendation, he had finished watching the entire series of The Story of the True Ring 2 . Then, under Father Wang's careful guidance, he had finally learned how to use the TV's search function, and was able to browse for dramas he was interested in .
The old man had recently been watching a large-scale inspirational youth drama production about cooking called The Verdant and Spicy Years 3 . It told the story of a young chef from a family of chefs who, in his struggles to become a kitchen god, went on a search for the legendary godly onion 4 which was said to be able to bring out the fullest umami flavor of a dish, and he was accompanied by his little sister childhood sweetheart as well as his warmhearted gay friend .
In the quest for this legendary godly onion, these three people experienced countless dangers . In the end, the protagonist's sweetheart sacrificed her own ancestral white water lily to attract the godly onion . It was when the godly onion was sucking the white water lily dry, almost turning it into black fungus, that the protagonist and his gay friend decisively made a move and grabbed the godly onion with an R Flash 5 . In the end, the trio joined forces to become master chefs!
The old man hugged Loopy Toad, one hand stroking its dog fur while he used the other to wipe away his tears .
He had never cried like this before he had watched The Story of the True Ring . Now, he was wholly moved by the protagonist as he struggled on his path toward becoming a kitchen god; it was a story which resonated significantly with the old man .
He couldn't help sighing emotionally in his heart: this, was true damn youth!
Conversely, Loopy Toad was clearly taken aback by the plot of this drama as it stared at the TV blankly .
Loopy Toad gave up on thinking . . .
