The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 152
Chap 152
Li Yu closed the window tightly. The room was all wet from the rain that had been blown inside.
Li Yu called Xiao Luo over to take the kids and Snow Bao next door.
Bao#1 grabbed fish dad’s sleeve, refusing to leave. Li Yu picked up Bao#1 and gave him a big
kiss, to allowed Bao#1 to leave peacefully.
Only the drowned chicken looking Crown Prince was left.
Li Yu grabbed a clean towel over and wiped off the water from the Crown Prince’s face.
Mu TianChi continued to stare at him without looking away, terrified that if he were careless
even for a moment, Li Yu would fly away.
Li Yu felt both heartache and anger: “What are you looking at! This is a thunderstorm, not a
heavenly tribulation! Not even using an umbrella, do you think you’re made of steel?”
Lips curving, the Crown Prince coughed softly: “I forgot.”
Li Yu put on a stern face and berated him thoroughly. However, despite all the admonishments,
the movement of his hands was still very gentle.
After wiping the Crown Prince’s face clean, Li Yu found a clean set of clothes from the
wardrobe, wanting to wipe down the Crown Prince’s body and make him change clothes.
“Xiao Yu, you’re also wet.” The Crown Prince protested.
The Crown Prince originally wanted to change himself. However, he received a vicious glare
from Li Yu in response. The Crown Prince, who knew he was in the wrong, helplessly shut his
mouth.
Li Yu nimbly changed the Crown Prince’s clothes for him. Then he looked at himself. His
clothes were mostly wet as well. Li Yu took off his damp outer robes, found a blanket, and dove
into it.
Mu TianChi: “…….”
Mu TianChil also followed inside.
The two people embraced each other, using their body heat to warm up as they listened to the
wind and rain outside of the window.
Li Yu thought carefully for a while. Unable to come up with a way to open up this topic, he went
straight to the point and said: “TianChi, are you planning to make me the Regent Empress in the
future?”
Caught completely off guard, the Crown Prince, who had his heart spied on: “…….”
The Crown Prince wasn’t sure how this fish learned of his plans, but this wasn’t important. The
carp demon definitely had methods that he wasn’t aware of. He also didn’t mind.
However, in relations to ruling the nation together, he definitely can’t admit it.
Mu TianChi said coldly: “No. Never thought about it.”
This big scoundrel actually dared to deny it! Li Yu was just missing a little, just a little! Once the
Crown Prince admitted it, his main mission would be complete!
Li Yu was so angry he wanted to bite down . However, seeing the clear teeth scars on the back of
the Crown Prince’s hand, which Li Yu had bitten down during labor when he really couldn’t
endure it, Li Yu changed his mind again.
“Stupid Crown Prince, you listen to me.” Li Yu grabbed the front of the Crown Prince’s shirt.
The Crown Prince lowered his eyes and remained silent and well behaved as he wrapped his
arms around Li Yu.
“Are you thinking that I need to pass a heavenly tribulation, that after I finished my trial I
would…… ascend to the heavens? It’s not like that!” The shitty System was too OP. It’s not
convenient to divulge its existence. Li Yu continued to do his best to change the System’s
involvement into cultivation related content.
“I’m going through tribulations because I want to completely become a human. That’s the goal
of my trials.”
The Crown Prince: “…….”
The Crown Prince thought to himself: This was definitely a lie. What demon in this world would
give up on becoming an immortal and want to become human!
However, the one telling him this was a carp demon who was still laying in his arms, a carp
demon who had birthed him sons and a daughter……
The Crown Prince unconsciously held Li Yu tighter: “Really?”
“Really!” Li Yu hastily promised. No matter what, his desire to change into a human was real!
“But why would you……” The Crown Prince was still a bit worried.
Li Yu: “There’s no why. I don’t like being an immortal.” With bright and shiny eyes, he gazed
tentatively at the Crown Prince, who was still apprehensive and alarmed over parting. Li Yu said
warmly: “I only like you.”
“You…… will regret it.” The Crown Prince warned him with a dry hoarse voice.
Demons lived longer than humans. Xiao Yu’s desire of wanting to be human made the Crown
Prince’s heart filled with conflict and contradictions. Although he wanted them to be fated for
100 lifetimes, he didn’t want Xiao Yu to ruin his own future prospects.
Because he liked this fish so much, that if he had to choose between himself and Xiao Yu, he
would unhesitatingly choose Xiao Yu.
“I won’t regret it. Really!” Li Yu said loudly: “TianChi, when you made the decision to make me
Regent Empress, did you ever regret it?”
“What if I harbored hidden motives, what if I got close to you for other reasons, what if I did all
of this just to bring calamity and chaos to your nation–”
“You are not.” The Crown Prince said staunchly: “Even if you are, it doesn’t matter.”
Li Yu was stunned. The Crown Prince actually said to him…… it doesn’t matter?
The Crown Prince held Li Yu, letting Li Yu lay on his chest. He pressed his chin against Li Yu’s
forehead.
“Liao Kong said you saved me before. Although I know this, I couldn’t remember it. Later on
when the Imperial Physician was treating me because of the Snow Crow poison, I was
unconscious for a period of time. Coincidentally, I remembered some old things of the past.”
Many years ago, he had also held this fish just like this. Fish was laying on his chest, happily
wagging his tail.
“Xiao Yu, you’re the one who saved me. I remember everything now. Even my life is yours. If
it’s you, then it doesn’t matter.” The Crown Prince said.
“You really remember it?” Li Yu still found this incredulous. It was only a branch mission yet he
had actually appeared in Mu TianChi’s memories– at that time, he had thought it was an illusion.
However, in reality, it really happened. Mu TianChi’s name was also because of him. Other than
surprise, Li Yu also rejoiced.
Good thing he saved the little fatty, or else the consequences would have been dire.
Li Yu had plenty of questions this entire time. Since they were laying everything on the table, he
might as well ask.
“TianChi, how come you always touch fish’s head? What does this mean?” Li Yu asked
curiously.
This gesture was clearly something that Li Yu had learned from the adult Mu TianChi. Then he
taught it to the little fatty. Back then, the little fatty wasn’t even good at petting fish. Yet after he
grew up, he used this skill proficiently on Li Yu. This mysterious and magical signature move,
just what did it mean!
With a smile, Mu TianChi rubbed him on the head and said profoundly: “Stop messing around.”
The Crown Prince refused to answer again. Li Yu grumbled a bit.
“Then back then, why did you pick up a fish and bring it back?” You can at least explain this
right?
The current Mu TianChi was able to answer this question now. Kissing Li Yu’s lips, he said:
“Because the sound of fishtail suddenly stopped.”
Li Yu: Huh??
“Although I couldn’t remember at that time, I still had an impression in my head of the sound of
your tail. If the sound stopped, fish would die– I didn’t want you to die.” The Crown Prince said.
Li Yu was completely touched to tears. So that’s what happened– the Crown Prince had saved
him, both as a result of him saving the Crown Prince and also, as the reason why he’s able to
save the Crown Prince. This was a super hard question like which came first, the chicken or the
egg. It……was a fcking circle that never ended!
Nevertheless, even if this were the case, so what? The Crown Prince didn’t mind at all. He……
was fine being trapped in this loop.
“TianChi, this is my last trial. Can you help me please?” Li Yu said pitifully: “If I can’t finish it,
I will turn into fish bones and fish dust.”
The Crown Prince: “……”
Failing the heavenly tribulations was this serious?
How can the Crown Prince allow the carp demon to turn into fish bones and fish dust. He
solemnly nodded his head.
“What do you need me to do?” The Crown Prince asked.
Many days later, at the Crowning Ceremony.
In front of FengXian Palace, in front of the ancestors and previous generations, the Emperor
officially designated Mu TianChi the Crown Prince. The Imperial decree was read out loud. The
Emperor granted pardon to the world, allowing all to celebrate and rejoice on this day.
Li Yu was wearing the Taizi-fei’s court outfit, which had a fish patterned embroidery. As the
Crown Prince’s main wife, he stood in a place that was closer to the Crown Prince than other
people, expression solemn and standing with his back straight and proper.
After the Imperial Decree was read, the Emperor ordered the Crown Prince to pay respects to the
Heavens in his place. Li Yu was just about to kneel like everyone else when Mu TianChi shot
over like an arrow in front of Li Yu and took the Taizi-fei’s hand, as if no one else were present.
This didn’t seem too proper?
The Crown Prince was the main character in this Crowning Ceremony and in paying respects to
the Heavens. Why’s Taizi-fei getting a piece of this action? Li Yu felt like everyone’s gazes
were all gathered on him, a pressure like the weight of a mountain.
“Don’t be nervous. I’ve already reported this to Father ahead of time.” The Crown Prince said.
Hearing this, Li Yu glanced at the Emperor from far. The Emperor waved at the two of them.
The Crown Prince and Taizi-fei were the future emperor and empress. It was fine that the Taizi-
fei paid respect alongside the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince usually did things very thoroughly. Li Yu really had no need to worry about
these little trifles. Pulled along by the Crown Prince, the two people walked towards the
Heavenly terrace that was built for the prayer.
The terrace stood high above. A spiritual tablet was placed on the platform. In front of it were
countless offerings. The sound of merry drums started. Li Yu focused whole heartedly on
following the Crown Prince’s movements and together, they completed the complicated ritual of
sacrificing to the gods.
After the ritual was completed, the two people looked over the tides of people beneath the
terrace. For some inexplicable reason, Li Yu recalled the commoners that had bowed to him at
the West Frontier. Facing this kind of scene once again, he was already experienced and ready.
Or perhaps, this was the feeling of being a person at the top of the world.
“Is this okay?” The Crown Prince asked.
“Yes.” Li Yu nodded his head with anticipation.
Xiao Yu wanted to complete his heavenly tribulations when there was a stronger ceremonial feel.
Spending quite some time to understand what a ceremonial-feel meant, the Crown Prince then
picked the moment of paying respect to the gods to help Xiao Yu pass his trial.
The Crown Prince looked into Li Yu’s eyes and said softly: “I’m willing–”
The System in Li Yu’s head sounded, accompanying the Crown Prince’s voice. It was both a
devoted promise and the sweetest confession of love.
The Crown Prince said clearly: “I’m willing to rule the nation together with you.”
The “share the nation” task was finally completed.
Li Yu was so happy, he can even laugh awake while sleeping. After the Crowning Ceremony
finished, he picked a free time to jump into the System. After the much awaited liberation, it was
time to obtain his reward with pride and joy.
The System already took out the big bundle of rewards for the final mission. Li Yu wildly
clicked accept to everything. His transformation skill, which allowed him to change into a
human, changed to allow him to transform into a fish instead. And also, there were no time limits
or number restrictions. It can be canceled any time as well. This indicated that under normal
circumstances, he was no longer a fish. Instead, he was a human.
Not to mention, he was a human who can change into a fish any time he wanted.
The human fish and fish human skills were the same. There were no longer any restrictions at all.
He can perfectly pretend to be a carp demon now.
His interdimensional space increased in size again. It increased to a size that Li Yu didn’t even
know himself, just how big it was.
A magical door appeared in front of Li Yu’s eyes as the last part of the rewards.
What’s this? Li Yu asked.
The System said: “Congratulations host, you have already finished all of the main missions and
have also changed the tyrant’s temperament. You can return to the real world using this door.”
Li Yu: “……..”
Li Yu still remembered that he had transmigrated into a novel. Therefore, going through this
door, meant leaving this novel?
Li Yu took a deep breath. He admitted that this was indeed very enticing. On the first day of his
transmigration, he already wanted to leave. However, now that he was actually able to leave, he
found it hard to take this step at all.
He already established a connection to this ancient world. He had a hubby that pampered and
loved him. He had cute sons and a daughter. How could he willingly leave them behind without
remorse?
The System said: “Host, please feel assured. If you choose to leave, your memories will be
reconstructed. Promise you won’t feel any regrets.”
Li Yu: ???
He knew about this reset. However, the only one resetting would be him, not his hubby. If he did
this and left behind his hubby and children, going off free and unfettered alone, then he’d be way
too heartless.
I won’t leave. Li Yu said.
The Crown Prince never regretted trusting and loving him. He also won’t regret this.
If he were a real carp demon, he wouldn’t have regretted giving up his chance of becoming an
immortal.
As a system fish, he also wouldn’t regret giving up his chance to return to the real world.
The System accepted Li Yu’s decision. The magical door flashed twice and then completely
disappeared.
The System said: “Since you did not accept this reward, host, it can be exchanged for something
else.”
A small button appeared where the magical door was. A row of shiny gold words appeared,
floating above it– Two days field trip to the modern world.
The System said: “Host, please pick who you’d like to include in your party. This reward allows
you to visit the modern world. Staying in the modern world for two days is equivalent to merely
15 minutes in the ancient world. Please decide if you’d like to accept or not.”
Li Yu: “…….”
Oh oh oh so it became a 15 minute field trip back home?
Occasionally returning home to take a look was not bad either. And plus, leaving for only 15
minute wouldn’t cause too much disturbance. And he can even make a party and return as a
group?!
But, who should he bring?
Between the four Baos and Snow Bao, if Li Yu brought one over, he had to bring the others. He
couldn’t favor and discriminate here.
However, if he had to bring five kids to an unfamiliar world by himself, it’d definitely be a
disaster.
System, can I bring the tyrant?! Li Yu asked.
The System said: “Yes.”
Li Yu excitedly went to see the Crown Prince: “Your highness, how about I bring you to this
carp demon’s old nest for a visit?”
