The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 2
Chap 2
Li Yu was elated. So there’s actually someone who didn’t fawn over the Master cat!
If a cat’s intelligence was that of a two year old child, then this big white cat was a very coddled
and spoiled child. Ever since it was born, it got what it wanted. No one dared to stop it. For
someone to block it right now while it held a fish in its mouth, the white cat was so indignant it
spun around twice on the spot before deciding to teach this person a lesson. Still biting onto the
fish, it violently tackled into the young man’s leg.
…… Bang!!!
The white cat used quite the force. Even Li Yu, who was held in the cat’s mouth, could feel how
it abruptly braced and then surged forward with full strength.
But the young man didn’t move the slightest.
The white cat let out an anguish cry and ended up bouncing off of the other’s hard solid legs. The
cat loosened its mouth. Li Yu was elated and took the chance to roll out, hitting the floor
immediately.
Because the Master cat’s body structure wasn’t tall, when he fell to the floor, he didn’t feel much
damage.
The white cat froze, then started meowing as it went to seize the fish again. Li Yu finally escaped
the cat’s mouth after great difficulty, how could he allow himself to be captured again? In a
moment of desperation, he waved his tail wildly, bouncing high off the ground, and with a ‘pa,’
his tail slapped the cat forcefully in the mouth.
The white cat: “……”
Li Yu: “…………..”
No way. He only wanted to escape, but accidentally hit the cat’s face because of a lack of
coordination??
Li Yu felt quite precarious. As a fish that actually dared to hit a cat’s face, wasn’t he very likely
to get eaten soon?
Being hit suddenly out of nowhere, the white cat completely fluffed up its fur. It raised its paw
and started pressing down.
The cat’s sharp claws were like steel nails to Li Yu. Li Yu continued to flail: Ao, don’t press
down on the head, pain pain pain pain!
For a fish to make such an outrageous scene in front of a cat, it’s a miracle he wasn’t swallowed
whole yet.
Could it be that his illustrious life was about to fall to the mouth of a cat?
Under the cat’s claws, Li Yu hurted all over, wilting in pain while the tip of his tail trembled
discontentedly.
Then he saw a pair of black shoes with cloud design come closer and stop before his eyes.
Apparently when the white cat caught him again, the young man in luxurious clothes also
noticed the activity over here.
Not knowing if it’s a misconception, Li Yu felt that this young man gave a cool glance in his
direction, intentional or otherwise.
But how could that be? Even Gao-gonggong and Xiao Linzi didn’t cast him any excess looks.
Just based on the luxurious clothes this young man was wearing, his status definitely wasn’t low.
How could this kind of person notice a tiny little fish?
A fish’s strength was finite. Li Yu was almost no longer able to raise his tail. He quietly laid
unmoving, gathering the last of his strength. Even breathing was difficult.
A fish can’t leave the water for too long. It also can’t stand being bitten and grabbed by a cat. He
was too pitiful. He experienced all of these.
Just at this time, the young man lifted up the hem of his robe and crouched down. Li Yu saw this
handsome face enlarging, more and more……
This was an extremely handsome yet stone cold face. The hair on his temples were sharp like a
knife, eyes like cold stars, red lips, white teeth, skin pale as jade. Even if Song Yu and Pan An
were present, they would be nothing in comparison.
Li Yu’s words of praise were finite. Very quickly, they ceased in the fish’s head. When he was
still a person, he was very confident in his own looks and felt himself to be very good looking.
Did the Heavens know he was about to die, and purposely arranged for him to encounter an
immortal-like beauty that was even more handsome than he was, just so he could die harboring
envy?
When a fish is near death, he speaks from his heart. Alright, to be honest, he was a little bit
jealous, just a little.
Li Yu’s thoughts began to jump all over uncontrollably, the so-called, last flash of lucidity before
death. Suddenly, he felt the pressure on his body lighten. Next to his ears, the big white cat began
to wail unwillingly. Nevertheless, the sharp cat claws that pressed down firmly have left him!
Li Yu practically couldn’t believe his luck. He attempted to move his fish body. Although it still
hurts very much, he…… was able to move.
What’s going on? How could the white cat let him go without rhyme or reason?
Li Yu slightly lifted his eyes. The big white cat…… it was meowing in the air!
The young man in luxurious clothes grabbed the cat by skin and fur on its back and mercilessly
picked it up.
Although this cat was robust, its whole body was snow white and it had sapphire like eyes. It’s
easy to tell that it’s a rather rare and precious breed. Even if people didn’t respect Guifei herself,
they usually treated this white ball of fluff with tenderness.
But this young man’s expression was indifferent, as if he didn’t care about this white cat at all.
Although Li Yu felt it was odd, he felt even more so that his fish life finally had a hint of hope.
Thank the heavens! And also thank this beautiful man!!
Being forced to abandon the fish, the white cat let out a mournful scream. Its four claws swung
all over in anger. If it were anyone else, they might have been scared. But to this tall, long armed
young man, it didn’t count as a threat at all.
Xiao Linzi, who rushed over, saw this situation immediately felt his legs give out and ended up
kneeling.
In the midst of Li Yu’s pain, he was somewhat surprised. What was Xiao Linzi doing? Don’t tell
him the guy was kneeling in order to save this food ingredient?
Reality told him that he was overthinking. Xiao Linzi knelt before the young man, gave him
several kowtows, and stuttered: “Your highness, Jing-wang. This, this is Guifei-niangniang’s
Master cat. Please have mercy……”
Li Yu: “……”
So this young man was actually a king, called Jing-wang?
Hearing Guifei and gonggong, Li Yu didn’t have any special response. But for some reason, the
title Jing-wang actually sounded somewhat familiar to him?
However, this thought only flashed across his head. With his fish life in imminent peril, Li Yu
didn’t have time to think about other things.
The young man– Jing-wang scoffed coldly, his deep dark eyes swept across Xiao Linzi.
However, the hand he used to hold up the big white cat remained unmoving, with no hint of
letting it go.
At first, the big white cat screamed and meowed vigorously. Then, it shouted itself hoarse, voice
growing softer and softer. Jing-wang let out a relentless presence from his body, turning a deaf
ear. Xiao Linzi continued to kneel below, the sweat gathering on his forehead.
Li Yu laid limp on the floor. This Jing-wang grabbed the big white cat who was bullying him.
That pretty much counted as saving him. Li Yu was extremely thankful in his heart, but if
everyone continued to ignore him, and no one placed him back into the water, he’ll become a
dead fish soon!
What to do……
Li Yu helplessly curled the tip of his tail, but no one could hear the words in his heart.
“Your highness, your highness…… wait for this old servant. This old servant is here!” Some
other unknown figure called out from afar and quickly rushed over.
This was an elder personal servant. After stopping between Jing-wang and Xiao Linzi, he first
panted loudly for breath.
“Wang Xi-gonggong, you’re here!” Xiao Linzi looked like he saw a savior. Eyes lighting up, he
quickly bowed: “Begging you to help me plead mercy from Jing-wang, his highness……”
The person who came was Jing-wang’s personal servant, Wang Xi.
“What mercy?” After catching his breath, Wang Xi first carefully examined Jing-wang’s
expression briefly, then gave Xiao Linzi a ferocious glare: “This cat ran up itself and bumped
into his highness. What, is his highness not allowed to punish it?”
Xiao Linzi felt faint and said timidly: “But this is Guifei-niangniang’s Master cat……”
Wang Xi recognized the cat already. Not mentioning it was fine, bringing it up, his anger
instantly shot up: “It’s only a cat, yet you dare to call it a master in front of his highness,
outrageous!”
“Wang, Wang-gonggong……”
Xiao Linzi realized he spoke the wrong words and instantly covered his own mouth. In the eyes
of servants like him, Guifei’s cat was like half a master. But in front of the son of the dragon,
what’s it worth?
Wang Xi spat on Xiao Linzi, and then berated him severely. Xiao Linzi trembled all over, with a
lowered head, not daring to speak.
Wang Xi finished scolding, turned back and gave Jing-wang a consulting glance. Jing-wang’s
ice-cold eyes moved slightly. Wang Xi understood and instantly turned around with a lan hua
hand gesture, and reprimanded loudly: “ This cat bumped into his highness. His highness is only
punishing it, what’s all this worrying about.”
The cat in Jing-wang’s hand failed to impress with its awe-inspiring presence, its temper worn
down to nothing. By this time, it seemed to realize it scratched a metal plate and finally curbed
its temperament. Spitting its pink tongue, it started meowing pitifully.
An average person would feel their hearts soften at this point.
However, Jing-wang wasn’t average.
Jing-wang waited until the cat stopped calling completely and tactfully lowered its head, then
finally carelessly threw it in Xiao Linzi’s direction. The cat was unafraid of heights. As soon as it
left Jing-wang’s hand, it quickly jumped into Xiao Linzi’s arms. Xiao Linzi didn’t have much
meat on his body. Having his chest pounced on, he almost spat out blood.
Wang Xi coughed lightly: “His highness is in a good mood today so he only bestowed a light
punishment. You better watch it closely. If there’s next time…… ha ha. I’ve lived this long, and
I’ve never seen anyone who dares to anger his highness twice.”
“This servant understands!” Xiao Linzi kowtow’d nonstop.
Jing-wang waved his hand indifferently. Wang Xi spat at Xiao Linzi again and followed Jing-
wang to leave.
That’s it? Leaving just like this?
Li Yu anxiously endured this long, but that Jing-wang who saved him, and even gave him an
extra glance, didn’t have any plans to continue saving him.
It was already hard enough for Li Yu to survive the cat’s mouth. Considering no one could hear
or understand his words, he can only gather the last of his strength and curl his tail. The tail
chaotically beat on the floor, once, twice.
This almost inaudible cry for help was so pitiful it made him despair.
Again and again, Li Yu almost gave up, but again and again, he forced himself to endure, telling
himself that if he endured maybe there’d be a miracle.
Until, he could no longer move his tail. No miracles occurred.
The cloud decorated shoes that once saved him didn’t stop for him again.
Li Yu gradually lost unconsciousness, his fish tail stopped moving. The air in the surrounding
slowly turned cold.
Jing-wang originally already walked a distance away. Suddenly, he stopped his footsteps and
turned around. A sense of surprise flashed across his icy eyes.
“Your highness, what’s…what’s wrong?” Wang Xi returned as well in puzzlement.
Xiao Linzi already ran off with the white cat in his arms, there should be no one left here.
Brows furrowed, Jing-wang made a shushing hand gesture as he continued to walk back.
Focused on the ground below, not long after, he returned to the original position where he
stopped.
Wang Xi followed blindly behind him, watching Jing-wang looking like he was searching for
something.
Suddenly, Jing-wang stopped moving and bent down.
“Your highness, hold on. What do you need? Let this old servant do it!”
Wang Xi noisily wanted to stop Jing-wang, but Jing-wang was obstinate, waving Wang Xi away
unyieldingly. He personally went to pick up something from the ground……
To say precisely, it was a palm sized fish.
This was a battered and bruised fish that was once carried in the cat’s mouth.
“Your highness, this……”
Wasn’t this a very common carp? Why would his highness persist on coming back to look at this
fish?
Wang Xi was confused. For the first time, he felt like he also had moments where he didn’t
understand his highness.
Jing-wang hesitated for a second, then reached out a finger, touching the limp fish tail with his
fingertip.
That tail, lightly and listlessly, patted the ground.
Jing-wang: “……”
Jing-wang’s expression turned heavy, yet his hands were exceptionally gentle as he picked up
the fish and held it in his hand.
“Your highness, your highness, let this old servant do it!”
Wang Xi hastily held his sleeve out to accept.
Jing-wang shook his head. Carrying the fish himself, he directly walked over to the nearest
palace courtyard……
Li Yu, who was befuddled and in discomfort, felt a warmth he hasn’t felt in quite a while, like he
was stuffed into a nest of blankets and pillows.
QQQ. A fish’s life was too hard. Was he about to die? Was he about to turn back into a human
again?
If he could change back, the suffering was worth it.
As Li Yu thought happily to himself, he suddenly heard a ding. Then a system voice sounded:
“Congratulations host. The main mission of the cute pet system ‘The Tyrant’s Guppy Pet Fish,’
the first step — Encountering the Tyrant, has been completed.”

The author has something to say
A small scene:
Li Yu: Your highness, save me. This cat bit me!
Jing-wang: Utilizing skill — stealing fish from a cat’s mouth…… since I saved it already and
there’s no place to put it, just put it in a fish bowl.
Wang Xi: …… Your highness, if you want to raise a fish, just say it directly.
Jing-wang’s hearing is very good, but because Li Yu kept on slapping his tail, Jing-wang didn’t
notice. When the sound stopped, he suddenly felt something wasn’t right.
