The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 36

Chap 36
Jing-wang wasn’t really very clear himself why he would have such feelings towards Xiao Yu.
Speaking honestly, he only encountered the young human form of Xiao Yu a few times. At first
he was only a little curious about this youth who was capable of escaping his grasp time and time
again. However, he wasn’t so deeply concerned. It was after this youth saved him and he learned
that the other was Xiao Yu who accompanied him day in and day out that he couldn’t help but
care about this youth. Because no matter fish or human, he was still the one that Jing-wang was
willing to care for sincerely.

Jing-wang concealed himself and peeked at Xiao Yu in secret. Gradually, he discovered plenty
of Xiao Yu’s secrets.

Xiao Yu loved to eat. Jing-wang realized this since the peach blossom cookies. In the last few
days, he used plenty of good food to tease the fish and watched as Xiao Yu sneakily transformed
just for a bite of food. However, the other would only change once a day. No matter how much
time he left for Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu would only change form for about 2 hours before turning back
to his original form. After changing back, no matter how good the food was, he wouldn’t
transform again. Xiao Yu looked quite reluctant himself also. Therefore, Jing-wang felt that it
wasn’t that the fish didn’t want to change, but that he couldn’t do it.

Because of this, Jing-wang predicted that it was very likely, this fish could only change shape
once a day and only for 2 hours at a time.

After obtaining this conclusion, Jing-wang became gloomy. The carp demon transformed for a
bite to eat, yet refused to come see him in person. Jing-wang recalled the scene when he saw
Xiao Yu’s human form the first time. It seemed that Xiao Yu also did it because he wanted to eat
food in the kitchen. If Jing-wang’s eyes weren’t injured last time, Xiao Yu definitely wouldn’t
have changed form to help him. Even when sending the letter with Ye QingHuan, it was only
given through Gale.

Jing-wang, who suddenly discovered that, in the fish’s eyes, he might not even compare to a
piece of dessert or a bowl of food: “……”

Meanwhile this simple-minded, heartless fish still didn’t realize that his real identity has been
exposed. In order to hide from Jing-wang, he was currently doing his best to clean up.

Through the bronze mirror, Jing-wang saw the fish reorganize the dessert he messed up. The
fruit peels and paper crumbs were all crushed into pieces and scattered in unremarkable corners.
No matter in fish form or in human form, the carp demon was very smart and very vigilant. He
never ate anything hard to clean up. Most of the time, he ate things that could be stuffed whole
into the stomach.

Xiao Yu clearly wanted to keep him in the dark. Right now the other still remained by his side. If
he discovered that Jing-wang knew what was going on, perhaps he’d run away. Just look at
everything this fish was doing. Although there’d always been some careless mistakes, if Jing-
wang wasn’t meticulous, he could have easily been tricked. Before, even Jing-wang was fooled
and frustrated. On the contrary now, he felt rather glad that Xiao Yu couldn’t remember anything
after waking up from his intoxication. If he remembered even a little bit, it was extremely likely
that Jing-wang wouldn’t even be able to find him now.

After considering for a long time, Jing-wang decided to continue suppressing his desire to meet
Xiao Yu in person and remained unmoving, biding his time.

He and Xiao Yu needed an opportune moment. This moment must ensure that Xiao Yu definitely
won’t leave; Jing-wang won’t attempt anything recklessly otherwise and scare Xiao Yu away.

In the stories that Ye QingHuan gave him, it always mentioned that humans and demons walked
different paths. Jing-wang didn’t like this saying. Not all humans were the same. He wasn’t some
weak frail scholar. Xiao Yu was also the fish he’s been raising this entire time. He won’t permit
the two of them to diverge and take different paths.

However, he still knew very little in regards to demons and in regards carp demons.

Jing-wang specifically ordered people to search for some ancient books on demons, monsters,
and cultivation.

He wanted to know even more information related to carp demons. For example, the drama
bucket that Xiao Yu mentioned while drunk. He still didn’t know what kind of bucket it was.
And also the heavenly tribulations. Jing-wang still didn’t know if this carp demon needed to pass
the tribulations or not. Just reading the random stories that Ye QingHuan gave him was not
enough.

Very quickly, the loyal subordinates found some supposedly very useful ancient texts for Jing-
wang. Jing-wang decided to start reading them immediately.
These last few days, he’s been “very busy,” heading out early and returning late. After returning,
he buried himself in reading books. It made the pampered fish, who hasn’t received much
attention lately, discontent.

Li Yu swam around back and forth inside the crystal fish tank, holding back mischief inside.
Who knew what Jing-wang was reading this time? If they were romance novels, he also wanted
to read it. The master’s good stuff should be shared. How can this pampered fish be left out?

After Li Yu’s fish body became bigger, the teacups inside the room for him to jump around in
also were changed to a larger size. When he jumped in, it’d always cause a splash.

He just jumped outside and Jing-wang immediately noticed him. Watching the carp demon carry
a trail of water, jumping over in high spirits, Jing-wang knew that Xiao Yu was curious here.
Secretly smiling, Jing-wang straightened the book and pretended to be very concentrated.

Li Yu quickly jumped onto the table. The flower shaped teacup that he often stayed in also
changed now. It changed into a lotus flower shaped cup that was more than double the size of the
previous teacup. This lotus cup was something that Jing-wang ordered artisans to carve from red
jade. Under the sunlight, it was vibrant with colors, splendid. When the little carp stayed in the
lotus cup, it was like he was sitting on a red lotus. Ever since Jing-wang discovered that this fish
seemed to have a strange obsession with green leaves, he even asked the artisans to embed a
layer of jasper made lotus leaves at the bottom of the cup that was extremely realistic to life. The
little carp instantly loved it.

Because this wasn’t the first time they read books together, Li Yu didn’t feel awkward at all.
Swimming to the edge of the cup, he did his best to extend his fish head to look at the book that
Jing-wang was currently flipping through. This book looked extremely old-fashioned. Several
pages were falling out. Li Yu assumed that this book was even older than Jing-wang. Who
knows what kind thousand years old demon story this was about.

Jing-wang also became aware of the carp demon’s peeking. He ended up picking up the cup and
fish together bluntly and placing both in front of him, facing the book. Like this, the fish could
read easily.

And if the fish changed forms in this position, he’d be encircled directly in Jing-wang’s arms.

Jing-wang felt an uncontrollable anticipation. With a secret delight, he started to read together
with the fish once again.
Seeing Jing-wang’s straightforward attitude this time, Li Yu was also very happy. He thought he
could finally gain a glimpse of the 18 forbidden ancient scenes. However, after striving to read
for a long time, Li Yu still couldn’t understand even a sentence of words. It was too hard.

The little carp who finally became flustered and exasperated: I got tricked! This wasn’t a novel.
This wasn’t even a military book or travel notes. This this this…this was actually a book about
cultivation!

Didn’t the system say the protagonist’s aura wouldn’t be affected? Did Jing-wang still plan to
become the emperor? Why was Jing-wang reading cultivation books? Did Jing-wang plan to
give up on becoming an Emperor. Did the protagonist of a grand palace court novel plan to do
cultivation??

Wasn’t this difficulty level too hard? If you must know, Li Yu never read cultivation books!

Somewhat anxious. Li Yu secretly glanced at Jing-wang, afraid Jing-wang really planned to
change his ambition to cultivation. Jing-wang’s expression was focused, looking extremely
serious, not like Li Yu who couldn’t even understand one sentence. Although Jing-wang was
mute, his natural talents were good. Even reading cultivation books, he could quickly understand
and comprehend them.

If he kept on reading, this Prince might directly ascend to the heavens.

Li Yu secretly poured a little water on the book. He needed to dispel Jing-wang’s intentions to
cultivate as soon as possible. Cultivation was too hard, so tiring and you can’t even eat anything
good. Not to mention, you might even have to die for a just cause. Tyrant master, you better not
cultivate ah!

The ancient text that was bought with a thousand pound of gold was splashed with water. Jing-
wang gave an exasperated glance at the randomly ill-tempered fish. Was this long-established
fish demon not willing to read a book that was too easy?

Therefore, Jing-wang switched to a more profound book.

Li Yu was just about to wag his tail proudly for successfully defeating the desire to cultivate
when he discovered Jing-wang swiftly changing the book. This time, he saw the book was — A
handbook for Alchemy??
Li Yu: Alchemy pills aren’t something to be eaten randomly. Books are also not something to be
read randomly ahhhhh!

Li Yu flailed, practically getting Jing-wang’s ancient text completely wet.

With a blackened face, Jing-wang pulled out the last one.

Li Yu looked: A booklet for dual cultivation!

Dual– dual cultivation??

Li Yu opened his eyes wide. This was too much of a test for him. Even though he never read
cultivation novels, he still knew the meaning of dual cultivation.

The edges and corners of this book were in terrible shape from use. This must be an extremely
profound text. But dual cultivation??

The little carp deliberated for a while, then ended up moving his fish head closer. Ao! There was
something like this? Fish also want to see!

Jing-wang’s expression changed subtly: So Xiao Yu really did want to dual cultivate with him!

But… why wasn’t he doing it yet?

……

“Your highness.” Wang Xi called lightly outside the room.

The little carp made the book scroll into a dripping wet scroll. Jing-wang stopped struggling with
the fish for the book and lightly rang the jade bell.

When Wang Xi pushed the door and entered, the little carp already slid back into the lotus cup.
Wang Xi didn’t see anything.
Wang Xi said with a solemn expression: “Your highness, Zhongcui Palace caught fire yesterday
night. Concubine Qiu was injured by the fire.”
