The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 101
Chap 101
The System can hear Li Yu’s inner voice. In the face of the derailment of the host’s thought
process, in a rare occasion, the System was speechless.
“Yellow means a partial pass.” The system corrected promptly.
In order to prevent the host from imagining something crazy.
Li Yu: Huh?
The System said: “Although the tyrant acted drastically, it was determined that he did it to save
the pet fish. The system can’t deny that the tyrant is extremely protective of the pet fish.
Therefore, the system only used this protectiveness to judge the result.”
Li Yu: “…….”
This was just like in a certain test, Jing-wang originally answered pretty good, but then
accidentally poured ink all over the top portion of the test. Li Yu thought that the system would
want them to redo the top portion, but unexpectedly, the system directly nulled the half that was
covered with ink and only judged what’s left.
…… Jing-wang was actually the person operating this system, wasn’t he? Why else would it
always open the back door for him?
In anycase, a partial pass was still a pass.
The System said affirmatively: “That’s indeed the case. However, because of this, the reward
will be affected. You may only obtain parts of the reward. Please accept the reward, host.”
“Protect the pet fish” was the last step of the main mission, “Postnatal care and protection. The
System had kept the details of the complete reward in the dark, only expressing that it was a
mysterious big bundle.
Originally, Li Yu was certain he would be able to turn back to being a human. However, now the
reward didn’t seem like what he had imagined. Can he ask what does a partial reward mean
exactly?
Did it only…… allow him to be restored into a half human half fish?
Then he might as well continue being an entire fish.
The System said comfortingly: “Please feel assured, host.”
Li Yu: “…….”
With a sense of vigilance towards getting screwed over, Li Yu cautiously accepted the reward.
A dazzling white light enveloped him. After the white light dissipated, two new transformation
skills appeared next to his original jade scale that allowed him to transform.
Li Yu skimmed at the description briefly. These new transformation skills allowed him to change
into a fish human and human fish separately.
He specifically checked the duration of all of his transformation skills. The duration was
increased as well– now it has become 24 hours. In other words, an entire day. Everyday, he can
still only change once; and he can cancel at any time.
With the addition of the two new skills, this meant that the System had blessed him with the
ability to change into a variety of forms. He can use them as needed and change back and forth.
Although it wasn’t completely reinstating his human form, to be able to change form everyday,
with the duration being a day each time; if nothing unexpected happened, actually this was pretty
much the same as recovering his human form.
As for the other forms, if he encountered danger, he could turn back into a fish to hide. If he had
no where to use the other two forms, the fish human and human fish form, he’ll just turn them
into bedroom delights. The mermaid form felt quite different after all; he was pretty interested in
trying it again.
Li Yu faintly felt like these new skills seemed a lot similar to what happened to him on the 3rd
day of the task, where he was able to change back and forth between forms.
However, during the mission, he changed accidentally; it was almost uncontrollable. These new
skills required him to press on the jade scales properly before they can take effect. It was much
more reliable than just transforming on a whim.
Plus, only Li Yu himself can use the skills. Even Jing-wang, who could see the scales, can only
touch them, but not actually activate the effect. Therefore, to other people, this was only some
markings on his body.
The two new skills, as well as the extension of the transformation abilities, was the first part of
the mysterious reward bundle.
There was a second part of the reward that carried a lot of cute fish shaped symbols. After Li Yu
obtained it, he discovered that inside the system, beside the sections for “main missions” and
“branch missions,” another section “Status of the fish babies” was added that he could check on.
What was this for? It was related to the Baos? Li Yu asked curiously.
Although after the fish babies hatched, they formed a party with Li Yu, Li Yu didn’t actually
notice any benefits of being in a party. He was able to see the fish babies as some simple fish
symbols over here; Li Yu had suspected that this was only decoration for some time.
Now that the “Status of the fish babies” was added, the System invited him to examine this
option. What expanded under this option were the symbols for the four fish babies. Mumbling
for a moment, Li Yu picked Bao#1’s gold colored symbol and clicked it. A transparent screen
jumped out inside the system. Inside the screen was the view of Bao#1 currently sleeping. Next
to him was Wang-gonggong, who was gently placing a blanket on Bao#1.
…… was this?!
Li Yu felt his little heart palpitating nonstop. The he delightedly picked Bao#4.
The fish babies often did the same things together. Bao#1 was sleeping. Bao#4 naturally was
sleeping as well. However, Bao#4 was sleeping on Ye QingHuan’s stomach. On his left and right
side laid Bao#2 and Bao#3. The three Baos and Ye QingHuan were all sleeping.
Bao#4 was sound asleep, smacking his lips in his sleep. Perhaps thinking he was still a fish, he
blew out a bubble.
Li Yu: “……”
Li Yu examined each fish baby, reluctant to look away. In the meantime, the system explained to
him: “Host, you can check up on the baby fishes’ status here. This can only be used when you’re
in a party. You can use it on each baby fish 3 times per day.”
Li Yu was so excited that his eyes lit up. Wasn’t this the system version of a monitor? And the
kind specifically used to monitor fish babies!
The main reason why he originally fell for the bandits’ stupid trick was because he couldn’t be
certain of the fish babies’ safety and became lost his head. Ultimately, it was because the verbal
communication system of ancient times was not convenient. If this was like the modern world
that he once lived in, with a much more advanced and developed communication system– the
cellphone, he could have just casually made a phone call to confirm the safety of his babies. How
could he have been tricked by villains back then?
Although the system didn’t reward him with a cellphone, to allow him to look at the current
status of the fish babies, even if he only had three chances per day, this was the best reward to a
fish dad who was always concerned about his fish babies.
…… System, thank you very much.
Li Yu expressed his internal gratitude.
However, the system was not affected at all: “Host, the main mission of “Postnatal care and
protection” has been completed. This was originally the last main mission. However, because
only a portion of this was completed, it does not meet the requirement of closing the main
missions. The system has already determined to add another main mission to make up for this
deficiency. The portion of the reward that you have not received yet will be given after
completing this new main mission.”
Li Yu: “…….”
He really wanted to take back the thanks that he gave.
He thought that after finishing the last mission, he’d be able to completely turn back to human
and also completely free himself from the system. Yet in the end, he still had to continue doing
more cute pet tasks?!
System: “No matter what, host will always be host. This is definitely the very last mission. After
completing this mission, no more main mission will be released. You can still choose to
complete branch missions as needed. There’s no consequences to failing branch missions.”
This sounded pretty good actually.
The reason Li Yu wanted to be free of the system was because he didn’t want to be forced to do
missions all day and worry constantly about failing the mission. If his future tasks were all casual
and up to him, he didn’t mind if the system stayed or not.
He was also used to having a system talking to him and blessing him with a sorts of bizarre gold
fingers by now.
Li Yu said mischievously: Since there’s still a main mission left, then hurry up and finish your
judging. Don’t delay me from doing tasks and obtaining the reward.
System: “……”
Oh yes, one more thing…… Li Yu stammered: When his highness and I are doing that thing, can
system also see it?
When Li Yu wasn’t insane out of worry, he was actually pretty smart despite his uptight mental
state. He finally recalled this issue. What was privacy to the System that can see everything?
The system was only a system. Li Yu wasn’t actually worried about being embarrassed. Instead
he was wondering about the secrets that the system had stored regarding Jing-wang, would they
one day become some spicy little videos in the future?
Then should he choose to look at them, or choose to look at them? Yes / yes?
System: “………”
System had nothing to say and kicked out this host, whose thoughts had derailed a thousand
miles away.
Li Yu ‘woke’ up full of vigor.
Everytime he entered the system, his body would lose consciousness and awareness
momentarily. This time, he entered in mermaid form. When he returned, he was currently sitting
in Jing-wang’s arms being carefully protected by Jing-wang.
A mermaid’s tail got dehydrated. Li Yu impatiently changed back to a human.
However, he didn’t really choose the location very well. One minute, his mermaid tail was
wrapped around Jing-wang coquettishly. Now that they changed into legs, this position was
weird and made fish’s thoughts run wild.
Old face turning red, Li Yu hastily put down his legs which were dangling around Jing-wang’s
waist and crossed gazes with Jing-wang.
What’s the matter? With a smile, Jing-wang caressed his face.
Hugging Jing-wang, Li Yu nuzzled him, unable to contain his joy.
“Your highness, telling you good news. I can maintain my human form for a longer duration
now. One more tribulation and I can completely re……”
Ah, he abruptly remembered. This explanation didn’t really make sense. No matter what step he
was in his mission, in Jing-wang’s eyes, he was a carp demon. Of course carp demons would
turn into humans, not return to being a human. Can’t make this mistake!
Li Yu paused briefly and reiterated: “It’s next time. If I pass the next one, I can remain a human
from now on.”
Jing-wang smiled and nodded his head firmly. Okay. Next tribulation I will still protect you.
“It’s really great that you’re here, your highness.” Li Yu couldn’t help but smile, letting out a
heartfelt praise.
Even if he had no choice but to do another task, it didn’t matter. The main mission will
eventually finish one day. However, if Jing-wang weren’t here, who knows where Li Yu would
be by now.
Li Yu leaned over and also pulled Jing-wang close. The atmosphere was perfect right now. Fish
wanted to kiss.
He deliberately puckered his lips and landed a loud sounding smooch on Jing-wang’s cheek.
A kiss, soft like feathers, teased the heart like the ripples of spring water.
Jing-wang raised his sharp brow slightly and moved his lips.
“Are you trying to say something, your highness?” Li Yu asked, noticing that Jing-wang’s
expression wasn’t quite the same as usual.
Jing-wang glanced at him quickly and then hesitatingly pulled out a paper note.
Li Yu: “……”
He was only guessing randomly, but he was actually right?
Li Yu accepted the note. He was curious to see what Jing-wang wrote, but what he read was only
Jing-wang’s name, TianChi.
Li Yu: ?
“I know this, your highness–”
Why would his highness make him read this?
Seeing that he still didn’t understand, Jing-wang simply held Li Yu’s rosy lips when he said
“your highness” and lightly bit down once.
Getting bullied once for some unknown reason, Li Yu opened his mouth in confusion and said
again: “Your highness……”
Jing-wang didn’t let him finish speaking before leaning over again. Li Yu got bitten again.
Li Yu: “Your hi……”
Jing-wang hugged him and bit down again.
Li Yu: “……”
Li Yu didn’t dare to speak anymore. He blinked several times: Could it be that he wasn’t allowed
to say ‘your highness’? If he said it, he’d get kissed?
Jing-wang saw that Li Yu finally understood and handed the note with his name to Li Yu once
again. Li Yu suddenly realized.
“Your h… no no. Do you want me to call you by your name?”
Jing-wang: “……”
Jing-wang nodded his head with a very serious expression.
Finally got it!
Tears rolled down Li Yu’s face. So Jing-wang wanted him to say his name. They were already
husband and husband after all. Yet Li Yu was still your highness this, your highness that. It was
somewhat distant sounding.
Jing-wang didn’t want to be distant with him at all.
“Then… I’m going to say it…… TianChi.”
Li Yu smiled bashfully. Jing-wang’s name was very artistic. After saying it once, he couldn’t
help but say it again.
“TianChi!” Jing-wang acknowledged it, revealing a faint smile on his face. He went to glasp Li
Yu’s hands.
Such a small thing, why not write it out directly?
Because he wanted to let Xiao Yu discover it himself, instead of being something that he
requested.
Xiao Yu was even calling Gale’s name directly, why not his.
