Young chef Rong Ze transmigrated, bringing his kitchen utensils with him to a remote, uninhabited primeval forest.

With his excellent cooking skills, he attracted exotic beasts from far and wide.

One day, a nine-tailed "cat" cub showed up.

The little one was very solitary and was always bullied by the other spirit beasts.

Rong Ze took it upon himself to be a doting dad, feeding it, brushing its fur, and rubbing its belly.

"Little one, I'll be here to watch you grow up."

Later, when the cub suddenly grew up and became a "man," Rong Ze was at a loss.

The man leaned toward him, his eyes gleaming darkly.

"Now it's my turn to watch you 'grow up.'"

Everyone in the Primordial World knew that Yuanshi Tianzun was noble and aloof, and that he had always disliked those covered in fur or bearing horns.

But few knew that he had another identity: Lu Wu, the legendary primordial divine beast.

During one of his inspections, Yuanshi was astonished to discover a stranger from the human race trespassing in his private garden.

The man actually disregarded his authority, doing whatever he pleased on Yuanshi's own turf.

Just as Yuanshi was about to strike, he caught an enticing aroma.

He also saw a plate of roast suckling pig, its skin amber-colored and crisp, its meat tender and juicy.

Then he spotted a fair-skinned young man, cradling a little beast and smiling tenderly.

Before the young man could notice him, he hid his Pangu Banner, set down his Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, transformed into a Lu Wu beast, and quietly crept up beside him...

The little crown prince, missing for a thousand years, had finally been found. The Heavenly Court and the Three Teachings jointly issued an order: "Dote on him, spoil him rotten!"

When they heard the little crown prince had no interest in governing and only wanted to cook, the officials submitted petitions urging him to reconsider. The Heavenly Emperor declared domineeringly, "He's my son. He can do whatever he wants!"

When they heard the little crown prince had no interest in cultivation and only wanted to cook, the cultivation world buzzed with debate. Yuanshi Tianzun sneered, "He's under my protection. What's wrong with that?"

When they heard the little crown prince... the great powers of the Primordial World shouted, "Shut up!"
