324 What Canst You Eat? (1/2)
There were no more snacks and no more furniture left to munch on, but the donkey's appetite continued to grow with its size. It became more and more alarming. It would continue to bray until it was satisfied. Wang Baole's frustrations grew as he listened to its endless braying.
Finally, he stared at the pony-size, braying little black donkey and realized that even if he slaughtered the animal, it would barely last him a few meals. He might as well continue rearing it.
Wang Baole snorted at that thought. He surveyed his empty residence and decided to take his little donkey out for a walk. They would go and buy some snacks. When he left this pavilion, he watched as the donkey stared at the door of the residence and licked its own lips. He could sense a headache coming.
He could tell that the creature was wondering if the door could be eaten…
Wang Baole flew into a rage. He grabbed hold of the donkey, leaped, and landed directly on its back.
Wang Baole's slim, slender body drifted down, and the little donkey fell flat to the ground with a thud. It kept kicking its legs, scratching the floor furiously as it cried.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
”Son! Son!”
”You only have that bit of strength in you? In the past two weeks, you've almost eaten me out of house and home. You finished all my snacks. I've raised you for nothing!” Wang Baole grew displeased at how useless the donkey was. Many students saw the sight as well. They all felt that the donkey was indeed too weak.
Jin Duozhi, especially. His most important mission every day wasn't studying or cultivation… it was stalking Wang Baole and taking note of his every move, and through that, finding out ways in which he could strengthen his relationship with Wang Baole. Upon seeing the scene before him, Jin Duozhi immediately raced over.
”Godfather, this donkey won't do. You're already so thin, but it can't even carry your weight. That's just too much!” Jin Duozhi had an incredulous look on his face as he stared at the donkey. He didn't question where the beast had come from. In his eyes, any opportunity to shower Wang Baole with praises and compliments was a good one.
As Jin Duozhi continued his bootlicking, and the others around them started muttering and exchanging whispered words, the donkey started to glare. No one knew if the donkey understood what they were saying, but it started to bray and, bit by bit, struggled to its feet.
Wang Baole eyed Jin Duozhi. Wang Baole and Jin Duoming were of the same age and generation, and he found it rather nice that Jin Duozhi was calling him his godfather. He nodded, pleased. A high-spirited Jin Duozhi escorted Wang Baole as the latter rode his donkey out of the Dao Mountain Mist Academy.
They left the school, and the donkey continued the journey, panting as its limbs trembled under Wang Baole's weight. They drew looks of shock from the surrounding pedestrians. They stared at the tiny donkey, then stared at Wang Baole. They all had odd expressions on their faces.
”You see that? Everyone's looking down on you. They're all thinking, this donkey is so weak. It looks like it can't even carry the weight of a thin person.” Wang Baole smacked the donkey's head, the look on his face that of angry disappointment.
The donkey seemed to understand what Wang Baole had said. It seemed to stutter, then with a loud bray, charged forward in a burst of speed, Wang Baole still on his back. Wang Baole's eyes brightened.
”That's it! You can do it! Come on!” Wang Baole was overjoyed. He didn't expect the donkey to have such pride. He started praising the donkey happily.
However, the donkey could only keep the increased pace for half an hour and was soon exhausted. They hadn't even traveled that far before it cried ceaselessly and appeared to be starving. When it passed a flowerbed, it leaned forward and, with a sudden bite, ate part of the flowerbed, gobbling up flowers and grass alike.
You mean this works too? Wang Baole was shocked.
The donkey seemed to regain a bit of its strength. It carried Wang Baole along, walking and eating as it walked. It would get a bite of a tree when it saw a tree, get another bite of a parked cruiser when it saw that. When there was nothing left for it to nibble on, it sank its teeth into the curb by the road and ate a huge chunk of it.
Wang Baole fell into a complete daze when he saw that. He grew alarmed, even. He turned his head and looked at the road they had traveled. The donkey had left its bite marks in everything that they had passed by.
The disciplinary department soon arrived amidst the sounding of alarm bells. An exasperated Wang Baole grimaced and paid the fines. He even flashed his identity slip, and they finally released him after a great deal of persuasion on his part. He hurriedly led the donkey back to the academy.
