nFull of doubts, Little Silver left that night with the box of crispy noodle snacks.
nIn theory, he didn’t think a mere few packets of crispy noodle snacks would be anything useful. But the monster pen’s words to him before he left the villa clearly hinted that these crispy noodle snacks were indeed invaluable. Little Silver could only wait until he got home to slowly study their exact effects.
nAlthough he was a holy beast, it wasn’t like he had never heard of crispy noodle snacks.
nFor many people, it was a childhood snack that was hard to forget, but as they got older, many of them didn’t go out of their way to especially buy crispy noodle snacks anymore. Many people ate them when they were kids in a bid to collect the Water Margin cards inside the packets; once they collected all the corresponding generals, they could claim a prize.
nSo why were card games so popular now? It was because the kids who had bought crispy noodle snacks to collect cards back then had grown up.
nAlthough Little Silver was still only a “baby” in terms of the age of a holy beast, there was no way he would open a crispy noodle snack packet and eat it out in public on the streets. Based on age alone, Little Silver had actually lived for a very long time. The cultivation calendar started with the founding of Huaxiu nation, but Little Silver was born long before that.
nHence, he had witnessed a lot of history.
nNowadays, many holy beasts had vanished into hiding, and holy beast numbers had long suffered a devastating blow… it was just Little Silver who had survived strongly up to now.
nSometimes when he reflected on it, he felt that it really hadn’t been easy for him.
nWhen he thought about it carefully, this was probably the first time in his long life that he was in such close contact with human society. He was now living in Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal’s house, which could be considered pretty safe. Furthermore, he had also accepted Wang Ling as his master… Although this master was a little stingy, his strength was absolutely beyond question and he could completely protect Little Silver.
nHoly beasts lived very long lives – it was so long that even Little Silver didn’t know how long he could live for.
nHe now had three wishes. One was to find other surviving holy beasts in his lifetime.
nThe second was to cultivate hard and break through to become a fifth-class holy beast.
nThe last wish was to take good care of Ya Xuan and help the girl figure out her origins. This girl wasn’t just naturally muddle-brained, her memories were also scattered and she couldn’t remember a lot of things.
nBack when she had been severely poisoned, Little Silver had made the mistake of taking her to Immortal Mansion to look for a cure, but had wound up being controlled by the Master of Immortal Mansion. Fortunately, Wang Ling had appeared in time, otherwise Little Silver thought he might have died.
nYa Xuan had saved him before, so he had to repay the favor.
nOn the way home, Little Silver suddenly missed Ya Xuan a little. He didn’t know how she was doing at Cailian Zhenren’s place.
n…
nIt was only after Little Silver left that Loopy Toad talked to Wang Ling about his dream of entering Taoist Guang’s space while it had been soaking in the holy beast blood. This was the agreement it had made with Taoist Guang – without Taoist Guang’s consent, it wouldn’t be very good if other people knew about this matter, even if Loopy Toad didn’t really see Little Silver as an outsider; after all, the other person had given so much blood to alleviate its narcolepsy.
nBut an agreement was an agreement, so before things were worked out, it would be better for it to talk personally with Little Master Ling first.
nTo be honest, Loopy Toad didn’t know where to start.
nAfter thinking about it carefully, it felt that this Taoist Guang was actually quite pitiful. For the sake of pursuing a realm, he had sealed his soul inside the space to look for the predestined person. Now, he was appealing to Little Master Ling to help him find a way to gain his freedom.
nThe world changed, and you couldn’t get everything you wanted.
nIn this world, every time a person needed to make a choice, it would be difficult and they would be extremely hesitant, because most people suffered from acute indecision.
nLoopy Toad felt that Taoist Guang wasn’t a bad person.
nA spirit beast’s sixth sense was always very accurate. This kind of sixth sense wasn’t limited to perceiving danger and detecting an enemy’s aura and realm level, but could also judge a person’s nature.
nWhen it had been in the soul space, Loopy Toad had felt a sense of closeness with Taoist Guang. Therefore, though it felt that this senior was a little silly and didn’t have much integrity, he wasn’t a bad person fundamentally.
nConsidering how serious this matter was, Loopy Toad raised its head and wore a rare serious expression. “Wang Ling, I have something to say.”
nWang Ling’s mind was instantly awhirl at this look – this was the first time since he had brought Loopy Toad home that it had called him by name, and it had such a serious expression on its face as it wanted to discuss something.
nWang Ling’s thoughts instantly started to run wild…
nAfter all, he was only sixteen years old, and in a sense, he had inherited the gene for writing novels from both Mother Wang and Father Wang; thus, his imagination was even more colorful than that of his peers.
nWhat on earth did Loopy Toad want to say with such a serious face on?
nMoreover, there seemed to be a trace of nervousness mixed in with this seriousness, as if Loopy Toad didn’t know how to open its mouth; it was just like a normally honest and well-behaved child suddenly returning home to say that he had a girlfriend, and that she was pregnant!
n— Wait a minute!
nPreg… nant?
nWang Ling couldn’t help sucking in a sharp breath of air between this teeth before he asked in a low voice, “What did you do to some other house’s female dog?”
n” Pu !” Hearing this, Loopy Toad almost spat out a mouthful of blood… How could it simply go look for a female dog! Whatever happened, it was going to wait until it had cultivated a human form before going to look for a busty sister!
nThe most disturbing thing was that Little Master Ling had spoken telepathically… and not just telepathically, it had also been in a very low voice.
nThat was how afraid he was of someone else finding out…
nLoopy Toad thought that this was the legendary “don’t air your dirty linen in public.”
nBut in a way, it was actually quite happy. At the very least, this proved that it had already integrated into this place and also into Little Master Ling’s heart, and that it was truly regarded as a family member.
nIn fact, after being around Wang Ling for a long time, Loopy Toad had already discovered a lot about Ling Zhenren’s temperament. He might look like he had facial paralysis, but he had the fiery passion of youth inside him. Loopy Toad called this: stiff face, kind heart.
nAlthough Wang Ling usually didn’t like to speak, Loopy Toad was certain that Little Master Ling’s mind was undoubtedly very colorful. Unfortunately, it couldn’t learn the “Mind-Reading Ability,” otherwise it would be very interesting.
nTo put it bluntly, Little Master Ling usually kept people at a distance; he was wary of outsiders, and only associated with people he was familiar with.
nLoopy Toad suddenly thought of the astrology successor Song Cai whom it had come across during the combined military training for six schools.
nSong Cai was well-versed in astrology.
nLoopy Toad didn’t really believe in this thing at first…
nBut looking at this matter now from a different angle, Little Master Ling indeed seemed to have the facial paralysis syndrome that was characteristic of Capricorns!
