The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 16

Chap 16
Jing-wang reached his hands towards the little carp once again.

Li Yu continued to avoid him.

He was very scared. This fear was completely different from the horror of not being able to
complete missions and turning into fish bones and fish ashes. He saw Jing-wang kill the female
assassin with his very eyes, and got scared by the carnage.

Actually he knew very well in his heart that Jing-wang killed the female assassin in self defense.
Even if this female assassin wasn’t killed by Jing-wang, she still wouldn’t be able to live after
committing the crime of attempting to assassinate a prince. However, Li Yu came from the
peaceful modern time period and has never seen such a bloody event before. This massacre came
too sudden, he wasn’t mentally prepared at all. To him, this was really too shocking and too
upsetting.

When Jing-wang faced him and interacted with him, the other was more or less calm and
composed. Sometimes, he can even be considered slightly gentle. Although Li Yu always called
him tyrant this, tyrant that, he never truly understood the meaning behind the word tyrant like he
did now. This was someone who could instantly decide a person’s life and death, and take away
a life without even furrowing his brow.

The thought process of someone at the top of the food chain in ancient times was completely
different from the education that Li Yu had received growing up. Jing-wang, who suddenly
unveiled all of his ferociousness and violent tendencies, really seemed too unfamiliar to Li Yu.

Li Yu was scared of this kind of Jing-wang. Especially when he thought: After he completed the
tasks and changed into a human, would Jing-wang also kill him with a sword?

…… he definitely would. What’s the difference between Li Yu and the female assassin to Jing-
wang? They were both ‘insignificant ants’ that ‘intruded’ Jing-wang’s territory without his
permission.

Just by recalling the dead appearance of the female assassin was enough to make Li Yu shake
uncontrollably all over.
Jing-wang saw the little carp tremble nonstop and changed his action to trying to touch the fish’s
head. Li Yu knew he was a fish raised by Jing-wang. That he shouldn’t avoid Jing-wang’s touch.
But no matter how he tried to convince himself internally, his instinct continued to fear. The
smell of blood on Jing-wang’s body was also unbearable and made it even harder for Li Yu to
forget about what happened.

After several tries, Jing-wang understood that this fish was resisting him.

Just what’s going on with this fish?

Jing-wang couldn’t figure it out at the moment. However, the fish couldn’t leave water for too
long. Jing-wang saw that the little carp’s fins looked somewhat dry already.

Turning his head, Jing-wang gave Wang Xi a glance, then looked at the little carp. The
extremely perceptive Wang-gonggong immediately said: “Don’t worry, your highness. You can
leave the little thing to this old servant.”

Wang Xi walked over quickly to the bed. Li Yu also let out a sigh of relief. He didn’t reject
Wang Xi and allowed Wang Xi to pick him up lightly and quickly move him back into the
crystal fish tank.

Entering the water, the little carp felt a lot more comfortable. He turned his head to glance at
Jing-wang. Jing-wang’s ice cold eyes were also looking at him. The little carp was so scared, he
immediately dove into the fake mountain.

By this time, Jing-wang realized that Wang Xi could touch the little carp, yet he couldn’t. The
light in his eyes inevitably dimmed a little.

This wasn’t the first time this fish avoided him.

Before it was either biting him or bumping into him. He knew his fish was somewhat special,
and acted rather human-like. So what’s going on this time?

Jing-wang felt some unexplainable irritation and started to think about what he did differently
from Wang Xi.

Very quickly he was able to pin it down.
Eyes lowering, Jing-wang looked at his sword. He took care of the assassin just now.
Perhaps…… this fish was afraid of the smell of blood on his body?

Jing-wang actually didn’t get splattered by the blood. Still, he took off his sword and went to the
bathhouse to wash up. He specifically changed into a clean white robe before coming back out.
He already ordered servants to burn the originally dirty clothes.

After doing all of this, Jing-wang went to visit the little carp again. Li Yu continued to back
away.

Li Yu saw the tyrant willing to change clothes for him and felt more or less touched. He also
thought he was being too ridiculous. However, a person’s fear towards something couldn’t be
removed so quickly. Even though the tyrant’s displeasure was very apparent, Li Yu still couldn’t
help it.

Pressing his lips tightly together, Jing-wang paced in front of the crystal fish tank. Finally he
stopped, reached out his long arm, and pulled out the fish that was just placed in there not long
ago.

Li Yu thought Jing-wang completely lost all patience with him and started to flail out of terror.
Jing-wang gave the fish a cool sweeping look and continued to put the fish into a flower shaped
teacup that he picked up.

…… Was he going to get rid of him?

For a moment, Li Yu despaired hopelessly. Yet Jing-wang did an unimaginable thing next. He
placed the fish next to his pillow.

Li Yu: ???

The messy bed and bloodstains on the floor had already been cleaned up, without any trace at all.
But to Li Yu, not seeing didn’t mean everything didn’t happen. He still remembered how Jing-
wang’s killing intent appeared instantly in the blink of an eye and how decisive he was as he
stabbed his sword through the assassin’s chest.

What Li Yu was even more afraid of was that one day, Jing-wang would do the same to him.
Jing-wang looked at him for a while and then reached out a finger to touch Li Yu’s head. Li Yu
lowered his head in fear, shaking and trembling. Jing-wang lightly tapped him on the head, then
laid down next to the teacup Li Yu was in.

Li Yu: “……”

Li Yu was shocked. Was Jing-wang planning to place him next to his side while he slept? Oh
right, wa…wa..wasn’t this…sharing a bed?

Li Yu, who unexpectedly discovered that he was sharing a bed: !!!

It’s already reached this point, yet the main task still can be remedied. Li Yu felt completely
chaotic inside. He definitely wanted to complete the task, yet at the same time, he was very
afraid of Jing-wang……

The two emotions battled continuously against each other. Ultimately, the desire to complete the
task diminished some of Li Yu’s fear.

Li Yu reached out his fish tail. The tip of his tail carefully and cautiously probed the edge of the
jade pillow. Sharing the bed was only half of the task. The other half was sharing the pillow.
According to the experience of previous tasks, as long as he touched the jade pillow, it should be
considered a pass.

This time it was the real Jing-wang next to him. When his tail swept across the jade pillow, the
system clearly notified him that the “Sharing a bed” step completed.

Li Yu didn’t feel a bit of happiness from finishing the task. He was right by Jing-wang’s side.
Raising his head, he just happened to cross gazes with Jing-wang’s eyes which seemed to be able
to see through everything. The little carp’s breathing halted. Tail trembling and pulling back
instantly, he buried his fish face into the water at once.

He was discovered. Would the tyrant kill him?

He remembered the blood that covered the female assassin before she died and felt so ill at ease
he wanted to bite people.

Absent-mindedly opening his mouth, he suddenly bit down……on Jing-wang’s finger.
He made a mistake again. Li Yu practically had tears down his face. How was he supposed to
know that Jing-wang reached out a hand again!

Still biting Jing-wang’s finger, Li Yu used moist wet eyes to look at Jing-wang. Jing-wang
looked unblinkingly at him for a while and surprisingly allowed him to bite.

Li Yu spat out the finger. QQQ, not like this, he wanted to get close to this tyrant who pampered
him again!

Jing-wang saw him loosen his mouth, and didn’t even blame him. He only petted Li Yu on the
head and pushed the jade pillow towards Li Yu’s side some more, then closed his eyes and went
to sleep.

Li Yu: “……”

What was Jing-wang trying to do?

Li Yu was also tired. He wanted to sleep but didn’t dare. He also didn’t dare to enter the system
while lying so close to Jing-wang. The teacup was too small. He was practically trapped on the
bed, hard-pressed and under pressure.

Before this night, the teacup couldn’t hold him. He definitely could have audaciously hopped and
skipped around. That innocence and ignorance back then was practically tickling a tiger on top of
its head.

Li Yu laid on his stomach well-behaved and felt Jing-wang’s breathing gradually grow steady.
An hour later, there were no other moments. Jing-wang should be sleeping.

Finally, Li Yu decided to enter the system to examine the task. Yet at this time, Jing-wang
suddenly flipped over, facing him directly. Li Yu instantly flashed backwards, terrified that Jing-
wang would squish him accidentally into a fish pancake.

Luckily, Jing-wang’s sleeping posture was extremely good. He continued to sleep on one side of
the jade pillow properly.

Li Yu saw Jing-wang was really sleeping and gathered his courage to scoot over.
Jing-wang’s enlarged, handsome face was almost within reach. His thick eyelashes covered his
ice-cold eyes right now, making him seem harmless to humans and animals.

The little carp’s wildly beating heart wasn’t that flustered anymore. He felt that the sleeping
Jing-wang… wasn’t really particularly scary.

……but this was expected. Who would look like a demon while they were asleep? Wasn’t the
person who abruptly flipped face and killed someone also Jing-wang?

Li Yu suddenly paused. That’s right. It was all Jing-wang. The Jing-wang who mercilessly
exterminated the assassin, and his friendly, gentle Jing-wang, were both this man before his eyes.

He always liked to say that humans had many facets. This was also Jing-wang’s many facets.
Although Li Yu never became acquainted with Jing-wang’s ruthless side, Jing-wang’s
ruthlessness couldn’t have disappeared just because of his lack of awareness. Jing-wang’s
warmth towards him, as well as his merciless feelings towards others, both existed.

It didn’t matter if Li Yu was scared or ignorant, Jing-wang was still Jing-wang. He never
changed. Li Yu shouldn’t doubt Jing-wang’s kindness towards himself just because the other had
killed the female assassin. Speaking honestly, Li Yu offended Jing-wang countless times before.
If Jing-wang wanted him dead, he would have killed him already, no?

Li Yu unexpectedly thought this through, like a sudden beam of light through the darkness. He
felt much more relaxed all over. Turning his head back to look at Jing-wang’s peacefully
sleeping face on the other side of the jade pillow, Li Yu already considered this problem from a
completely different perspective. He thought timidly. No wonder Jing-wang nudged the pillow
over before he slept. Did he think that Li Yu wanted the jade pillow, so pushed it towards him?

Extremely likely! Didn’t Jing-wang also place teacups all over the floor for his amusement?
Didn’t he change clothes and wash away his ruthlessness for Li Yu’s sake? Even when Li Yu
randomly bit him in panic, Jing-wang didn’t get angry.

Jing-wang really treated this fish very well. Li Yu felt like he really shouldn’t have doubted him
and became scared of him out of shock.

…… Why don’t he just reconcile with Jing-wang tomorrow.
After receiving too much shock, and then thinking until his brain started smoking, Li Yu picked
a good position in the teacup that faced close to Jing-wang and gave a yawn before quickly
entering the dreamworld. Task or whatever, it can wait until he wakes up!

The next morning when he got up, Jing-wang immediately discovered the little carp leaning
against him closely. Half of the teacup was knocked over, spilling water on a large portion of his
inner clothes. Jing-wang moved his hand close. The half asleep fish came over to rub his fingers
again.

Jing-wang was secretly elated with joy. There’s no way he’d know that this fish’s attitude
towards him fell from heaven to the bottom of a mountain ravine and then pulled out of the
ravine again. He only thought that forcibly placing the fish closer to him seemed to have been
effective.

An assassin entered Qingtai Palace; the Emperor flew into rage. After making certain repeatedly
that Jing-wang was very well, not even losing a strand of hair, the Emperor ordered the imperial
guards to investigate this matter thoroughly. No matter what, they had to give Jing-wang a good
explanation.

Jing-wang almost got assassinated; the Emperor also felt very guilty. Originally Jing-wang lived
outside of the Imperial Palace. The reason he entered the Imperial Palace to stay here temporarily
was all because of an edict that the Emperor had made for the sake of Guifei’s birthday. Yet
what resulted was Jing-wang encountering trouble again and again. Other than giving more gifts,
the Emperor also ordered Jing-wang to head back to the Prince’s estate to get some good rest.

Finally, he could leave the Imperial Palace.

After receiving the order, Jing-wang wasn’t reluctant to leave at all. He immediately had Wang
Xi start packing. Reasonably speaking, the Jing estate and Jingtai Palace were both Jing-wang’s
residence. He had servants on both sides and he entered/exited the Imperial Palace countless
times. There wasn’t really anything to bring. This time, however, there was the addition of a
rather imposing looking crystal fish tank.

Half of the people in the Imperial Palace came over to watch the bustling scene. They heard that
the ill-tempered Jing-wang started to raise a fish, that even the fish tank was a gift by the
Emperor, that this fish was even recognized before the Emperor, and that this fish was more
favored than Guifei-niangniang’s master cat!

Just what kind of precious fish was Jing-wang raising?
The crowd looked. Eight people were carrying a crystal fish tank that was filled with precious
gems. Inside it, a dirty little gray carp was floating around and blowing bubbles (dreaming).

Everyone in the Imperial Palace became dumbstruck.
