The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 52
Chap 52
Li Yu refused to eat; Jing-wang also felt very distressed. He called Wang Xi over to feed fish.
Before when Xiao Yu had a disagreement with Jing-wang, the little carp would still let Wang Xi
feed him. Now he was not even giving Wang-gonggong any face.
Bastard. You guys are on the same side. Fish is not stupid!
Li Yu very stubbornly starved for two days, feeling like his entire fish body had become so
skinny that if he didn’t pay attention, he’d float away.
No matter what he did, Jing-wang couldn’t make the angry fish happy. Also, he still didn’t know
why Xiao Yu was angry. Therefore, he found Wang Xi to discuss how to resolve this situation.
Because he never let Wang Xi know about Xiao Yu’s real identity, he could only explain what
was going on with the fish and person separately. Completely baffled, Wang-gonggong thought
his highness was encountering two different pressing issues. On one side, Li-gongzi had a fall
out with Jing-wang and disappeared without a trace. On the other side, Master fish gave up on
living and was refusing to eat.
In the past, Master Fish was most important in his highness’s heart. Ever since Li-gongzi came
into the estate, his highness also pampered Li-gongzi plenty as well. Wang Xi felt like both sides
required serious and careful considerations.
He first inquired about what happened prior to Li-gongzi becoming upset. Because Jing-wang
sent everyone far away that day, no one knew what happened. Wang Xi could only go back and
ask Jing-wang himself. Jing-wang used his eye gestures to express himself . Then he also wrote a
few words. Wang Xi felt so surprised he was wordless.
So Li-gongzi refused to sleep with Jing-wang??
If this were anyone else, Wang Xi would have dealt with them according to the estate’s rules.
However, this was Li-gongzi. His highness also didn’t seem to have any plans to criticize. Wang
Xi immediately placed the estate rules aside and said to Jing-wang: “Your highness, the top
priority is to first find the person.”
Hearing this, Jing-wang felt somewhat depressed. Xiao Yu refused to change forms, which
meant he didn’t want to see Jing-wang. How was he supposed to “find” Xiao Yu?
Wang Xi noticed Jing-wang’s expression. Li-gongzi often moved about inconsistently, perhaps
it’s not easy to find him.
Wang Xi said: “Then why did gongzi leave in a hurry? Do you know the reason?”
Jing-wang shook his head.
Wang Xi: “……”
Wang Xi was only a personal servant. Although he has seen plenty of storms and waves, he
didn’t really have much romantic experience. He also couldn’t think of any plans just by seeing
Jing-wang’s gestures.
However, Wang Xi earnestly wanted to help Jing-wang share his troubles. He tactfully stated:
“Regarding Li-gongzi, why don’t you ask the heir of ChengEn Gong?”
Jing-wang was stunned briefly. This was indeed a good idea. Ye QingHuan was very quickly
invited to the estate.
“TianChi, you finally need to request something from me?” For Jing-wang to ask him something
for once, Ye QingHuan was so happy that his face split from smiling too much.
Jing-wang maintained a heavy face. Wang-gonggong told Ye-shizi everything he knew. Afraid
that Li-gongzi had a thin face, Wang-gonggong did not mention his name. Following his
highness’s expression, Wang-gonggong changed the name to ‘the person his highness liked’.
Hearing such a story unexpectedly, Ye QingHuan scratched his chin and said: “It’s rare for you
to ask me anything. I also want to help you, but you know I……”
Ye QingHuan smiled a bit embarrassingly: “I’m about to get married with the princess. I don’t
even know what to do myself. I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you.”
Jing-wang: “…….”
“However, my mom told me that I should treat the princess well. If I have any side wives or
concubines, they all must be dismissed. After getting married, I am only allowed to treat the
princess well. If I like her, I also need to let her know as soon as possible. A husband and wife
shouldn’t have fights that last through the night……”
The ChengEn Gong couple had been married for dozens of years. Their feelings were true.
Madam ChengEn taught her son plenty of knowledge and they were all words of experience. Ye
QingHuan learned them all one by one.
“Although our status is not the same, I think the logic is still the same logic. If you really cared
about him, you should first express your feelings. To immediately want him to sleep with you,
aren’t you being too impatient?”
As he listened, Jing-wang became somewhat entranced.
Was he too impatient?
Perhaps a bit. However, no one has ever taught him this. Was Xiao Yu angry because of this?
He really should make things clear for Xiao Yu and also let Xiao Yu know his feelings.
However, Xiao Yu refused to change forms and refused to see him right now. How was he
supposed to remedy this situation?
Jing-wang sank into deep thought. Ye QingHuan kept chattering nonstop, excitedly talking about
the details to the wedding preparation occurring at ChengEn Palace Estate. Jing-wang already
stopped listening.
Things still continued separately. The human form Xiao Yu needed an explanation. At the same
time, he still needed to make the fish, who was refusing to eat, had at least something to eat.
Wang Xi couldn’t see through Li-gongzi’s heart, but he had quite the skill in serving the Master
Fish. Fish refused to eat. It’s not like he can pry open the fish’s mouth and stuff the food inside.
The only thing they could do was try to feed it more. Wang Xi suggested that Jing-wang should
pile all of the food that fish liked to eat in front of the fake mountain cave. Perhaps after a while,
the fish will eat it itself.
However, if food was left for too long, the water would get dirty. Wang Xi and the servants
helping to raise fish discussed together carefully and decided to clean up the food everyday, then
place new portions the next day.
Jing-wang felt it sounded pretty reasonable. In order to make Xiao Yu happy, he pulled out all
sorts of good food. The sight made the fish have such a craving, but he still couldn’t eat it.
Everytime the servants came over to clean up the food, this was the most agonizing and
conflicted moment for fish.
So much delicious food, going to waste just like this.
Li Yu persevered for two days, entire fish visibly withering away, even his scales lost their shine.
Seeing Jing-wang anxiously trying to make him happy and summoned plenty of people over to
take care of him, Li Yu felt a bit distressed. Jing-wang didn’t actually know that Li Yu was his
pet fish. He might be thinking that his pet fish was sick and stopped eating. Yet recalling the
things that Jing-wang did to him, fish couldn’t help but get angry.
Refusing to eat made him feel a little better because it gave him a sense of vengeance. However,
if fish starved for a long period of time, he’d die of starvation first……
Wait a second. Li Yu thought absentmindedly and hungrily. It’s not like he did anything wrong.
Why should he have to starve himself?
Would fish starving himself make Jing-wang realize why fish was dissatisfied?
It didn’t seem possible.
Li Yu suddenly thought it through. He can’t torture himself just because he was angry. He
already starved himself so much he only had a layer of skin left. The food was placed just not far
from him. The last of Li Yu’s self-preservation kicked in. Still, he waited for a time when Jing-
wang wasn’t present to weakly swim over. He wanted to quickly eat a little. It was fine just
eating a little.
The little carp finally swam to the entrance of the cave. The smell of food that he had not seen
for a long time made him feel moved to tears. However, he didn’t even have a chance to take a
bite when a servant came along. Seeing that fish didn’t touch the food, they sighed and cleaned
up all of the fish food that has been here for an entire day.
Li Yu: ???
Li Yu was so hungry his head spun. No way. Did this mean he had to wait until tomorrow?
Jing-wang who’s been secretly peeking at fish from the shadows this entire time, walked over.
Seeing fish finally willing to show face, Jing-wang thought for a moment, and grabbed a handful
of fish food.
Seeing the big bastard’s face, Li Yu subconsciously went to turn away. However, he was almost
starving to death. The food in Jing-wang’s hand continuously tormented his thoughts. Li Yu was
so hungry he had no strength. Unable to swim, he instinctively gave up and watched Jing-wang
place the fish food in front of him.
Li Yu: “……”
Men… FISH needed to be flexible and know when to give and take! Plus, he shouldn’t torture
himself. He should grow nice and fat to torment the scoundrel master!
…… that’s right. Fish, who changed his mind, finally started to eat.
Jing-wang felt half relieved. With a smile, he went to touch the fish’s back with his finger.
Li Yu was on guard at this moment. On one hand, he chewed and moved his mouth nonstop; on
the other hand, he vigilantly scooted his back away.
Don’t think a few grains of fish food was enough to bribe him. Eating is fine, but petting is not
okay!
Jing-wang watched the fish devour the food ravenously, the smile hanging on his face dimed
slightly.
Li Yu was too hungry. Eating a little was enough to make him feel stuffed.
Jing-wang still remembered Wang Xi’s words. Fish can’t eat too full. Li Yu just finished
swallowing; Jing-wang immediately pushed him to swim.
After eating his fill, Li Yu felt some of his anger dissipate and allowed Jing-wang to push him.
He didn’t need to paddle this way anyways.
When his belly felt much better, Li Yu immediately swung his tail haughtily and swam back
inside the cave–
He still didn’t want to sleep on the bed that the big scoundrel gave him.
After eating and no longer angry, Li Yu entered the cute pet System.
When he was most flustered, he heard the notification sound of a completed mission. He had
many confusing questions he wanted to confirm with the System.
Why did his meticulous plan of sharing a drink not advance the mission, yet when the bastard
master bullied him, the mission completed?
Was his assumption before wrong? Was that shameless bullying the real meaning of “wind,
flower, snow, and moon”!
Li Yu angrily said: Give me a reasonable explanation. If you can’t give me one, I won’t do
missions anymore!
The shitty system always screwed him over. He’s been silently enduring. However, everything
had a limit. Don’t think just because he had a good temper, was a good person and well behaved,
that you can mess with him nonstop!
The system said in a heavy voice: “Host already finished the “The Tyrant’s Guppy Pet Fish”
main mission. Therefore, the direction of future missions is based on the result of this. The
requirement is for the host and the tyrant to foster an even deeper relationship. Merely drinking
together with the tyrant was not enough to complete this step.”
“Please think about it, host,” For once the System used a lot of words to enlighten him: “You’re
already his pet fish that he wouldn’t even exchange for a million gold. After this, your
relationship can only get even better.”
Oh come on! Li Yu scoffed. Did an even better relationship mean trapping his human form in a
blanket and kissing him fiercely? What kind of logic is this!
System: “But this is indeed even better than being a prized pet fish. No?”
Li Yu: “……”
The system exposed its expertise in arguments. Li Yu became speechless to this question. He
still felt like something didn’t seem right. Struck by an idea, he pulled out all of the missions that
he had completed and looked at them. From this, he discovered a big issue.
The titles of the shitty system’s missions were often misleading. So much that in the end, he
didn’t even find them strange anymore. However, when looking at them together like this……
This didn’t seem like raising a pet at all. Instead, it looked more like engaging in a romance!
Stop trying to weasel your way out. So this was the system’s big plot!
Li Yu’s fury wasn’t any less than when he got his tofu eaten.
What pet needed to “understand deeply,” “have an intimate encounter,” and “indulge in wine and
pleasure” with their master!
System stated: “The main mission “The Tyrant’s Guppy Pet Fish” and its series of tasks only
required host to achieve the corresponding result. You were able to decide how to complete the
tasks whichever way you liked.”
The system sounded a bit confusing. Li Yu pondered for a moment. The System probably was
saying this: The tyrant master treated him like this right now… because he was asking for it?!
“Not asking for it. Rather, the tyrant’s actions towards the host are a result of the different
decisions you made in the tasks you completed.” System correctly seriously.
Li Yu: “……”
If doing the missions would affect the tyrant, why didn’t System warn him ahead of time?
System said: “Because all of the cute pet system missions require the hosts to complete them
wholeheartedly. If you knew ahead of time, your choices would no longer be true to their
original intent.”
Li Yu: Sounds nice, but it’s still digging a pit for me right from the start!
This made fish even angrier than having his tofu eaten by Jing-wang. Li Yu asked with a
blackened face: Is it possible to make Jing-wang stop eating his tofu in the future?
The System said: “Jing-wang is the protagonist. System cannot directly control the protagonist.
However, you have one opportunity to reset. Once you reset, all of the missions will start back
from the beginning again.”
Li Yu was startled: I can reset?
Li Yu automatically thought about the consequences of resetting. Would the tyrant’s memories
and satisfaction value towards him be erased completely?
If this was really true, there won’t be anything to stress about anymore. However, was doing this
fair for Jing-wang?
Because Li Yu transmigrated, Jing-wang was longer just lines of words. Instead, he was a real,
live human being just like Li Yu. Casually erasing someone else’s memories just because he was
unhappy didn’t seem quite right.
“Host, you misunderstand.” System hastily explained: “The cute pet system can only erase the
host’s memories of the cute pet system to start afresh. Can’t change Jing-wang.”
Li Yu: So it was erasing his own memories?
Sounds pretty fancy, but like a soft squeezable fruit, the essence couldn’t hold at all. If he didn’t
have his memories, wouldn’t he fall into the same hole?
After all, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with the previous missions at all. Was he
supposed to let ChengEn Palace Estate and Ye QingHuan get framed? Was he supposed to not
care about the little fatty.
This was just the type of person he was. Even if he restarted, he would still make the same
choices!
Plus, if he had a reset and Jing-wang didn’t, wouldn’t that be even worse!
Li Yu: It’s better off not resetting!
System: “If you don’t need to reset, host, please accept your reward.”
The notification for completing the “Wind, flower, snow, and moon” task popped out. Now that
Li Yu knew a bit of the truth, he felt like a complete mess. At first, he wasn’t in the mood to
accept, but then he remembered that for this step of the main mission, he specially asked for an
addition of a fish pillow. This was still useful to him.
Li Yu said distractedly: Give the pillow to me. Save everything else! Is there a time limit for the
next step?
System said: “No.”
Li Yu thought viciously. Then why do the mission. It can wait until he’s in the mood!
Grabbing the fish pillow, Li Yu exited the system and returned to the crystal fish tank. He didn’t
even know how to face his future fish life anymore.
Here he thought he’s being smart all this time. Yet he was first screwed over by the system, then
bullied by Jing-wang, and ended up exceptionally miserable.
He laid next to the fish pillow. Originally, he planned to use it as a cover for when he changed
forms. That’s why he asked the system for another fish pillow and even ordered that it needed to
look exactly like him. Sure enough, the fish pillow that he got was the same as his new look with
the silver base and gold threads. However, he no longer wanted to change into a human and
interact with Jing-wang again.
If system was so capable, then just turn him into fish bones and fish dust!
Li Yu angrily went to sleep. While he was half asleep and dazed, he suddenly heard someone
speak loudly next to him.
…… did Wang Xi come?
Waking up, Li Yu wanted to hide. However, he could still hear the voices.
It wasn’t Wang Xi.
Li Yu very quickly identified that these were two voices he’s never heard before.
One voice said mysteriously to the other voice: “Does his highness really plan to do this with
such great fanfare?”
The other voice: “Yes. His highness cares a lot about Li-gongzi. I hear that Li-gongzi
disappeared. His highness believes that Li-gongzi will come back to take a look. He can only use
this kind of method to pass on a verbal message to Li-gongzi.”
Li-gongzi– Li Yu: ???
What was the big scoundrel doing now?
The first voice continued to say: “This message is written right on the wall. If Li-gongzi is still
inside the Estate, he definitely would be able to see it.”
The two voices gradually moved away. Li Yu angrily thought. What’s with this act in front of
him. Most likely, Jing-wang purposely ordered people to spread these words.
However, it did successfully catch his interest.
A person who couldn’t speak… would also have a verbal message he wanted to transmit?
What kind of verbal message was it and…… why on the wall?
While people weren’t paying attention, Li Yu took the chance to jump onto the windowsill to
glance at the situation outside.
One glance was enough. He saw on all of the snow white walls inside the Jing Estate, this was
written in an extremely large and bold calligraphy script:
There’s no concubine, I like you.
