The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 11

Chap 11
Li Yu returned back to Jingtai Palace with Jing-wang and his attendants.

Along the way, he expressed goodwill countless times. However, the Jing-wang, who had tapped
on this fish’s head in Ganqing Palace, didn’t respond at all right now. Not to mention, he even
put away the iridescent pearl. Ji Yu felt somewhat angry and gloomy.

He at least made great contributions in making Guifei suffer failure. What’s so wrong with
giving him the pearl for a moment. It’s not like he’d really keep it forcefully. He only needed it
to complete his task. Once the task was completed, he probably wouldn’t have any use for that
pearl.

However, maybe he shouldn’t be too impatient. Perhaps Jing-wang just took away the pearl
coincidentally. It was really too difficult to communicate between the two of them.

Li Yu promptly changed tactics and started to make circles in the bowl, wanting to use the round
shape to remind Jing-wang about the pearl. However, Jing-wang continued to pretend he didn’t
see anything.

“Little thing, what exactly are you trying to do?” Wang Xi asked with a smile.

Wang-gonggong had decided that from today onward, he’ll serve this fish well. Although this
fish was only a very ordinary carp that’s used as a food ingredient, it brought good fortune to
Jing-wang and himself. It merely splashed Jing-wang full of water, which was enough to let
them unexpectedly discover the bruise that Piao Xue had created; and make Guifei end up in
such a sorry state. Before Wang Xi had looked down upon Xiao Linzi for calling Piao Xue,
Master-cat. Right now, he was practically eager to give the name, Master-fish, a try.

Li Yu stiffened under Wang Xi’s enthusiastic questioning. He didn’t want to do anything else.
He only wanted to obtain the pearl. However, just what was he supposed to do to let these people
know his wish?

…… was he supposed to swim out the word ‘pearl’!
Better forget that plan. If he really wrote out a word and scared Wang Xi into thinking he was a
carp demon, that would be bad. Demons are not allowed in established nations. Speaking
honestly, he was only an innocent transmigrated fish. He should probably think of other plans.

Wang Xi carried the ocean bowl back to the room that the little carp was originally placed in. Li
Yu watched as Jing-wang’s figure moved further and further away. Huh? The tyrant wasn’t
going to live together with him?

Li Yu carefully thought for a moment. Although Jing-wang changed his clothes here once
before, Li Yu really didn’t see any bed or couch like furniture in this room. It can be seen that
this room wasn’t actually Jing-wang’s bedroom.

People say that in ancient times, how much a concubine was favored could be measured by the
distance of their residence to the emperor. In terms of favored pets, this logic should remain
pretty much the same.

If a pet didn’t live together with its master, that basically was no different than not raising one at
all. Li Yu could practically see himself failing the entire main mission and turning into fish
bones and fish ashes……

He couldn’t be separated from Jing-wang!

The originally wilted Li Yu immediately was filled with spirit. Living was more important than
the iridescent pearl. He didn’t ‘get along’ with Jing-wang yet.

Wang Xi asked him what he wanted. Li Yu boldly poked his head out of the water and turned
towards Jing-wang’s direction, staring over there with a burning gaze–

Wang Xi was so delighted he couldn’t stop grinning ear to ear: “Oh, so the little thing is reluctant
to part from his highness and wants to stay by his side.”

Being called ‘little thing’ several times, Li Yu felt very ashamed. Yet, he still responded
cooperatively by blowing a small bubble.
“Little thing, This isn’t easy to accomplish. His highness doesn’t like other people entering his
room.”

Wang Xi was in a pretty good mood, so he actually reasoned with the fish.

Li Yu: ???

So his tyrant master had this kind of taboo, this was the first time Li Yu’s heard of it. Perhaps
this was a setting that wasn’t written in the book. The Jing-wang in the book was only rows of
ice-cold words after all. But the real Jing-wang was a person that existed before him. A person
was multifaceted and always more complicated than mere words on a page.

Li Yu accepted this fact quickly. Jing-wang didn’t like other people entering his room, but it’s
not like he was other people. He was a pet fish.

Li Yu continued to wave his tail coquettishly at Wang Xi. He still wanted to go.

Wang Xi grinned uncontrollably. Sometimes he felt like this little carp seen to understand
humans well, and was also very sticky. Who didn’t like a pet that loved to stick to people?

Wang Xi wanted to help the little carp. A fish didn’t make any noise after all. It wasn’t a
hindrance no matter where the fish was raised. Just pretend it was another household decoration,
that’s all.

However, he didn’t even have a chance to persuade Jing-wang when Jing-wang took the ocean
bowl out of his hand with a heavy face and carried it away himself.

Wang Xi: “……”

Wang-gonggong had a misconception like ‘is Jing-wang unhappy, this servant can’t understand
him again’ feeling.

Jing-wang independently brought the little carp into his bedroom where others were not
permitted to enter.

During their way back, he deliberately ignored the fish, planning to give it the cold shoulder for a
bit. Yet this fish actually dared to wave his head and tail happily at Wang Xi.
While Wang Xi was coaxing the fish, Jing-wang was standing not far away, a coldness spreading
in his eyes.

This was a very peculiar feeling, like when Mu TianZhao stole his things during their youths.
And only by snatching it back, can his mood turn better somewhat.

Since this was the fish acknowledged before the Emperor, then it belonged to him. He had the
rights to arrange where it lived, other people’s opinions were unnecessary.

Jing-wang directly moved the little carp into his bedroom and did not permit anyone to disturb.

On Wang Xi’s side, he definitely didn’t expect Jing-wang’s thoughts to be full of these twists
and turns. In order to make him happy, Wang-gonggong hastily ordered the inner servants to
head back to the original room and transport over the porcelain fish tank. Then, afraid that Jing-
wang didn’t know how to raise a fish, he sent over some servants that raised fish, cats, and dogs,
to be used in an emergency.

Properly settled in, Li Yu was moved back into the porcelain fish tank. The fresh water has
already been changed in the fish tank. The leaf blanket and white stone bed was saved for him.
Li Yu swam a lap around the fish tank. This place was still much better. Swimming here felt
much more satisfying than the bowl.

Li Yu: “……”

Accidentally discovering that he was already accustomed to considering things from a fish’s
point of view, Li Yu didn’t know if he should laugh or cry. This adaptability, he didn’t know if it
was good or bad.

Li Yu waited for a while, making certain that no one was paying attention, then dove under the
water grass blanket and pretended he was resting as he entered the System.

Last time, he came in high spirited to retrieve his reward. This time, he came head covered in
dust, face covered in dirt, in complete failure. The main task and the branch task both didn’t
make any progress. The shitty System gave him the routine greeting but didn’t offer any extra
suggestion.
Li Yu looked at the “get along’ step under the ‘The Tyrant’s Guppy Pet Fish’ task. Half a day
has already passed on the countdown. Meeting the Emperor didn’t help him complete this task.
Looks like he needed to put in more effort.

Not being able to complete ‘The Iridescent Pearl’ task was rather unfortunate. He might as well
give it another attempt; the iridescent pearl was already almost within reach.

Li Yu thought, since he has already been moved into Jing-wang’s room. As a pet, he should have
a thicker skin and be more brave. Secretly getting into his master’s clothes and accidentally
pulling out a pearl or whatever, made sense for a pet right?

There’s no time to waste. Deciding to be shameless, Li Yu promptly returned.

When he stayed in the System, he didn’t know what’s happening in the world outside. After
exiting the System, Li Yu shook out his body, and unexpectedly found himself currently laying
in…… laying in Jing-wang’s hands.

Li Yu: !!!

Cupping fresh water in his hands, Jing-wang held the fish within them to avoid dehydrating the
little carp.

He never examined this fish so closely before. After settling the little carp in, he couldn’t resist
coming over to take a look.

It’s really true that he felt this fish was rather peculiar. It’s also true that he felt it was somewhat
interesting. When he carefully took the fish out of the water, he surprisingly discovered that this
fish was completely stiff, not moving at all. Eyebrows rising, he immediately summoned a
servant that raised fish before to come take a look. The other trembled as he looked at the fish in
Jing-wang’s hand for a while, then stated that the fish was probably sleeping. Jing-wang
summoned another servant, they said the same thing.

Squandering the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Jing-wang sent all of these people away and
stared at the fish without looking away. Since it was sleeping, then it had to wake up sometimes.
He was ready to see what game this fish was up to this time.
The little carp didn’t really ‘sleep’ for very long. As soon as Jing-wang leaned in closer, he
suddenly saw it shake its tail. Then its entire body lunged forward, almost falling over in the
water.

Jing-wang: “……”

Once again, Jing-wang felt like, the way this fish just woke up, all confused and in a daze, really
seemed somewhat like a person.

After that, this fish saw him and clearly became dumbfounded.

Slightly angry, Jing-wang tapped the little carp on the head. Seeing Wang Xi, you’re all shaking
your head and waving your tail eagerly. But seeing me, you just know how to look dumb!?

Being tapped, Li Yu shook his head back and forth. Then he remembered his task and started to
wave his tail fawningly. He discovered that ever since he became a pet fish, waving his tail to
beg for favor practically became another survival skill in addition to swimming. It’s just his
master didn’t appreciate/understand it.

With a taut face, Jing-wang gave a cold huff. Trying to flatter him now? Too late.

Jing-wang’s palm was only so big. As the little carp started twisting about, it was hard to avoid
touching everything. Jing-wang felt somewhat out of sorts with the sensation of a fish tail
touching his palm, but he stubbornly held it in.

Li Yu was completely unaware, acting cute as his gaze floated over randomly towards Jing-
wang’s clothes. He remembered that Jing-wang placed the iridescent pearl in his sleeve. If he
could get into Jing-wang’s sleeve……

At the moment, he was in Jing-wang’s hand. He can pretend that this fish was very slippery!

Li Yu purposely swam slowly to the edge of Jing-wang’s palm. So close, if he turned his body
sideways, he’d be able to flip out. Actually, he did try to do this. However, his fish body only
went out a little bit when he was immediately caught by Jing-wang’s other hand and moved
back.

Li Yu: “……”
I’m flipping, I can flip again!

He attempted to flip out on the other side. However, Jing-wang was even faster than him.
Closing his hands, he enclosed Li Yu within.

Li Yu: So angry!!

Jing-wang was looking at him with a smile that’s not quite a smile. Li Yu just knew this guy was
doing it on purpose. Perhaps he hid the pearl just to tease this fish as well!

Eyeballs spinning, Li Yu thought smugly. Let’s go then!

He abandoned going in either direction and just inched along Jing-wang’s palm to his arm,
sliding downward stealthily.

Jing-wang froze. Originally he thought this fish was trying to escape. Who would have thought,
this fish wanted to dive into his sleeve. Jing-wang had water in his palm, which poured down the
flesh of his arm. Within the blink of an eye, the little fish suddenly rolled into his sleeve.

The towering and unyielding, ice mountain-like Jing-wang immediately furrowed his brows
tightly and felt a wave goosebumps all over.

At the same time, Li Yu -who successfully invaded into the enemy territory, but didn’t even have
a chance to feel elated- abruptly felt himself touching a large area of bare skin.

This.. what kind of messed up feeling was this? Jing-wang, he…he…he actually wasn’t wearing
any inner garments?

Li Yu laid on the muscles from who knows where, fish face burning hot. He thought about how
in the world he came from, he was still an innocent and pure guy who didn’t even start dating
yet. Yet after transmigrating into a book, he actually ended up pressing another man flesh to
flesh!

This really made this fish feel way too embarrassed!

Li Yu was so embarrassed he tried to use his fins to cover his face, but the fins were too short
and couldn’t reach. Therefore, he switched over to swinging his tail wildly to vent his emotions.
Jing-wang, who was originally forcing himself to endure the strange sensation, immediately felt
something indescribable scratching him repeatedly.

Jing-wang: “……”

How could a normal person stand this? Jing-wang felt cold sweats gathering. Quickly pulling
open the front of his robes, he planned to pull out this troublemaking fish.

Staying in the sleeve, Li Yu felt more and more stuffy. The sleeve was too narrow and too dark.
As soon as he moved, he’d start sliding downwards, unable to stop at all. He was just about to
run into the sleeve material. Li Yu really regretted his recklessness and terribly bad idea. Eagerly
wanting to get out, he started to flail randomly in a moment of desperation. This flailing made
Jing-wang feel even worse.

Vaguely, Li Yu saw a faint light. He absent-mindedly thought, how could there be light inside
Jing-wang’s clothes? Could it be–

The iridescent pearl?

Jing-wang was really devious, hiding a pearl this deep inside. Finally, Li Yu was able to find it!
Success was just a step away, do your best!

Li Yu desperately threw himself towards the direction of the light. It was already to this point.
There was nothing in this world that could stop him. No matter what, first touch it and then talk!

He got closer and closer to the light. In his absent-mindedness, he could see a round… oh, a
pearl was round!

Li Yu immediately bit down with an ‘awoo.’ When he grabbed the round thing with his fish
mouth, Li Yu felt extremely emotional. Afraid he’d lose the pearl, he even held on to it as tightly
as he could.

Li Yu felt Jing-wang give a huge tremble. Immediately, the area above his head brightened up
and the hindering garments were completely removed.
Upper body bare, Jing-wang had a rare flush on his face as he looked at Li Yu from above,
glaring furiously.

Ai, this little carp was currently holding the iridescent pearl with his mouth so he couldn’t blow
bubbles back. In a good mood, Li Yu waved his tail happily at his master. But abruptly, Li Yu
discovered this entire fish was laying on top of Jing-wang’s chest.

Li Yu: ???

How did he get up here from being in the sleeve? Holding onto the pearl, Li Yu examined to the
left and right of him. What entered his view was a large area of shiny white skin. Especially
where the pearl was, he could feel the strange pulsing of life under the chest.

Wait, Li Yu realized that something seemed a bit wrong. Did Jing-wang hang the iridescent pearl
in front of his chest? This was Guifei’s pearl, was that necessary!

And plus, now he felt like the size of the pearl didn’t seem right. The texture was also… a bit
soft.

Li Yu suddenly realized something. Letting go with a tremble, Li Yu glanced at the ‘iridescent
pearl’ that was in his mouth reluctantly.

This wasn’t the pearl. This was…… the bean used to differentiate a man’s front side from his
back side!

Fish life receiving a devastating blow, the little carp rolled off Jing-wang’s chest in despair, but
he was swiftly caught by keen eyed, quick-handed Jing-wang.

Just at this moment, Wang Xi pushed open the door and entered. He originally had things to ask
Jing-wang. After waiting a while and not seeing Jing-wang exiting the room, he had no other
choice but to come in to check the situation. Immediately, he saw Jing-wang, clothes in disarray,
face completely red, holding a fish in his hand.

Wang Xi was shocked!
Who knew what the experienced and knowledgeable Wang-gonggong thought about. In alarm,
his voice even changed octaves: “Your highness, don’t do it! This fish is still too small, it can’t
handle it!”

Li Yu: “… … … …”

This fish was really humiliated today. God, please just let this fish die!
