The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 55

Chap 55
Li Yu charged out of the room. He knew that as a Wang of ancient times and the tyrant
protagonist, Jing-wang must be very cunning. However, Li Yu couldn’t tolerate the fact that his
chest full of concern was placed completely on the other’s pretense– and it was a show that was
enacted purposely for him to see.

Heaven knows how much he hated being deceived the last few days. His opposing heart was like
a barrel of gunpowder, instantly lighting up and exploding.

Wang-gonggong and a group of servants were standing in waiting outside. Seeing Li Yu come
out, he said in surprise: “Li-gongzi!”

Li Yu moved his mouth, but didn’t know what to say to Wang Xi. Simply ignoring him, he
turned around and ran off to the garden behind the fake mountain.

Wang-gonggong hastily ordered people to follow him. Jing-wang came up from behind and
shook his head at Wang Xi.

Wang Xi understood. This meant that he wasn’t supposed to get involved here.

Jing-wang walked over himself to chase after Li Yu. Wang Xi was afraid that Li-gongzi would
run out later. His highness didn’t allow him to give chase. It should be fine if he had people
guard the garden’s perimeter, right?

This garden actually wasn’t very big. Jing-wang very quickly found Li Yu who was standing in a
daze in the middle of a pavilion.

Jing-wang didn’t know why the carp demon got angry again. Ye QingHuan wanted him to learn
how to make people happy, but he seemed to be making many mistakes at every turn. He really
didn’t understand at all. Being unable to speak also made it extremely inconvenient for him to
express anything.

Jing-wang held a piece of paper tightly in his hand. Originally he wanted to give it to Li Yu, but
Li Yu mistakenly thought Jing-wang was trying to grab him. Jing-wang can only smile
miserably.
Li Yu had a feeling that if he was grabbed now, it wouldn’t be easy to escape again.

Plus, he was still in a dispute with Jing-wang right now and didn’t want to see this person. Even
more so, he didn’t want to discuss what like and not like with Jing-wang. He changed only to
save Jing-wang; he had no choice. Since Jing-wang didn’t need his help at all, naturally he
wanted to disappear from Jing-wang’s sight as quickly as possible.

Remember that Jing-wang built the big fish pond and connected all of the water reservoirs in the
estate. Under this pavilion, there was also a pond. If he could enter the water, he should be able
to swim somewhere else immediately and leave Jing-wang behind.

Li Yu made his decision. When Jing-wang entered the pavilion, Li Yu yelled loudly: “Stop
chasing me!”

Jing-wang hesitated for a moment and then nodded his head. He even took a step backwards to
express his sincerity.

While he was backing up, Li Yu turned his back to Jing-wang, climbed over the pavilion railings
and jumped into the pond below.

When he was still human, he didn’t actually know how to swim. After transmigrating as a fish,
his swimming skills lit up by itself and even his human form gained the ability to swim. He just
rarely had the chance to swim around as a human before.

However, he didn’t plan to wander around aimlessly anyways. He only wanted to hide
underwater and hold out until he turned back into a fish. This was the price of impulsively
changing forms. Hiding in human form was still much safer than running around randomly.
However, as he suddenly encountered the water in the pond, Li Yu felt waves of coldness
seeping into his body, making him shiver several times. He did his best to get used to the bottom
of the water in human form.

Jing-wang never imagined that Xiao Yu would do this. He was just wondering what Xiao Yu
was up to; Li Yu already jumped out of the pavilion and into the bottom of the pond.

Pupils contracting, Jing-wang subconsciously gave chase. However, he only grabbed air. He
noticed the shadowy figure moving underwater. Xiao Yu must be swimming away using the
passage between ponds.
Jing-wang knew that his swimming skills definitely couldn’t compare to the carp demon. Even if
he went into the water, he might not catch up. All of the water inside the estate was connected.
Judging from the direction that the carp demon swam towards, he made a general prediction as to
where Xiao Yu planned to go. In other words, he just needed to reach the next pond or lake
ahead of time to stop Xiao Yu.

Jing-wang exited the pavilion without hesitation and directly dashed off towards the place where
Li Yu might appear!

However, even after waiting at that place for a long time, Xiao Yu still didn’t appear. Jing-wang
finally realized that the carp demon slipped away again.

Wang Xi came over, asking him about the whereabouts of Li-gongzi. Pale faced, Jing-wang
shook his head. Xiao Yu can’t maintain human form for too long. He couldn’t make all of the
servants go into the water to find Xiao Yu. The less people knowing the carp demon’s identity,
the better.

This pond that he built was extremely big, but fortunately it was not connected to outside, only
connecting the different water areas inside the estate. There were also guards standing in place
on land. In the water, at least Xiao Yu was safe. It was also not possible for him to leave the
estate.

Jing-wang ordered people to watch the surface of the water everywhere while he returned back
to the outside of his residence. He stayed at the place where he’d often play with Xiao Yu next to
the pond, thinking perhaps after Xiao Yu swam enough underwater, he’d swim back out on his
own?

Jing-wang waited for two hours. He still didn’t see Xiao Yu re-appearing.

Li Yu entered the water. His human form couldn’t breathe underwater easily like a fish.
Therefore, Li Yu didn’t swim very quickly. After transmigrating into a fish, he recognized a lot
of the plants underwater. He found a hollowed reed and broke it off with his hands. If he needed
to breathe, he’d just extend this plant to the surface and take a secret breath.

He guessed that Jing-wang would go to the next pond to wait for him. Li Yu played a trick.
When he reached the pond, he didn’t actually reveal himself. Instead, he hid in a hard to find
place and waited. Even after Jing-wang thought he had really disappeared and left in order to
find him, Li Yu still never showed his face out of the water.
He hid in the water until he turned back into fish and stored the fallen clothes back into his
interdimensional space. Then, he started to swim around freely. Because of his current body
color, he’d be easily discovered if he got near the surface. Li Yu purposely only swam in the
deep parts of the water.

The bottom of the pond was its old appearance. Jing-wang built him an entire city at the bottom.
When Li Yu saw this scenery once more, he felt very upset in his heart.

He wanted to swing his tail over there and destroy everything. Out of sight, out of mind. With
the current strength of his fish tail, even if he can’t turn everything into pieces, he could at least
break a large portion no problem. However, when he had raised his tail high, and got ready to
swing, it never ended up coming down.

This was… the gift that Jing-wang gave fish. And he was only trying to take out his anger on it.

Li Yu huffed coldly and examined the underwater city with an indifferent glance. Unable to find
a good place to hit with his tail, he turned his head and swam towards the house at the end of the
pond.

This was built according to the appearance of Jing-wang’s residence. Jing-wang’s jade figure and
the fish-shaped stone that he placed were both still there. When Li Yu came down to play in the
pond before, he’d always come over and pull off the moss on the jade figure and stone. Now he
was not in the mood to do such cleaning.

Li Yu angrily swam over, nudging Jing-wang’s jade figure with his fish mouth until it staggered.
He can’t use his tail to smack the jade figure Jing-wang. If it broke, it can’t be played with again.

Li Yu nudged it several times in succession. The jade figure of Jing-wang tottered before finally
falling over. Next, Li Yu moved his fish body completely and sat on the jade figure, like he was
crushing Jing-wang.

Jing-wang, you big scoundrel ahhhhh!

He went to save Jing-wang out of the goodness of his heart. Yet it was all to trick him.

Li Yu angrily curled up in a ball. The fish shaped stone was just to the side. Li Yu moved the
stone over and placed it on his back.
Messing around for a while, fish was somewhat tired. He laid on the jade figure and fell asleep.

With this sleep, his body almost felt light and floaty.

Not knowing how long has passed, Li Yu faintly heard the sound of people? Why would there be
people underwater?

In a daze, Li Yu wanted to see who came. However, even after struggling a few times, he still
didn’t manage to wake up.

Because he had been sleeping at the bottom of the pond all this time, outside Jing-wang was
unable to see Xiao Yu come out of the water and became extremely anxious.

Jing-wang decided to get in the water and take a look. Wang Xi made quite the effort persuading
him otherwise. The pond was extremely big. Maybe there will be danger. Jing-wang’s eye
expression indicated: Move to the side.

Seeing that his highness already made his decision, Wang Xi stepped back and begged Jing-
wang to bring some good swimmers to enter the water together with him.

Jing-wang also shook his head and refused. Xiao Yu was underwater, the situation unknown.
With others, Xiao Yu’s identity might be exposed.

Going alone by himself was the most appropriate. Jing-wang himself also knew how to swim.
Switching into a set of clothing fit for swimming, he headed down.

The imperial guards have already watched the surface for a long time without seeing Xiao Yu.
This indicated that Xiao Yu has been underwater this entire time.

Jing-wang searched through every single landscape underwater. Several times when he ran out of
breath, he had to return to the surface for a break. Not long afterwards, he’d dive down again.

Jing-wang pretty much searched everywhere underwater. When he arrived at the little house at
the end of the pond, he surprisingly saw his fish, curled up in a ball.

Jing-wang felt his heart tug. He moved forward to touch the fish on the head. The fish didn’t
move.
Jing-wang carefully picked up the fish. The fish remained without any consciousness. Something
rolled out from under the fish’s body. Jing-wang looked. It was his jade figure.

Jing-wang: “……”

Jing-wang figured that the carp demon went into a “meditative state” again. At least he avoided
facing a fish that stubbornly refused to leave.

Jing-wang thought for a moment, opened the lapel to his clothes and wrapped the fish against his
chest. Then he swam towards the surface of the water.

“Your highness, your highness, what happened?” Wang Xi rushed over. When he discovered the
fish in Jing-wang’s arms, Wang-gonggong’s head felt dizzy for one second. Wasn’t Master Fish
inside the house’s fish tank or something? Wasn’t his highness searching for Li-goingzi? Why…
would he find Master fish?

Jing-wang gave him a warning glance, forbidding him from questioning.

Wang Xi did his best to think carefully and said probingly: “Did…… this old servant make a
mistake from the start? Master Xiao Yu was playing around too much and entered the pond. You
went down originally to find Master Xiao Yu, not Li-gongzi?”

Jing-wang nodded his head without any sense of guilt.

So it’s like this. Wang Xi immediately accepted it. He was just saying how can Li-gongzi stay
underwater all this time and not come out? So he was the one who made a mistake. His highness
was looking for Master Xiao Yu. As for Li-gongzi, he must have left a long time ago.

Wang Xi followed Jing-wang closely into his room. Jing-wang swiftly moved the fish pillow
inside the fish tank to the side and moved the little carp onto the silver stone bed.

Wang Xi: “……”

Wang Xi just found out that the fish inside the fish tank this whole time was fake. Wang-
gonggong wiped the sweat on his forehead and secretly felt ashamed. His highness must have
placed this fake here purposely to trick Chu YanYu and protect Master Fish. How come he never
thought about it?
Master fish must have been placed inside the pond beforehand. That’s why his highness needed
to find fish– didn’t everything match up perfectly now?

Wang Xi wanted to help Jing-wang change clothes, but Jing-wang was staring at fish anxiously.
He waved his hand. Wang Xi could only bring over a dry towel. Jing-wang randomly wiped
away the water drops on his body, but fish still didn’t “wake up.”

Before when he “meditated,” Xiao Yu would recover after an hour at most. However, ever since
Jing-wang carried him back, he’s been laying there unmoving.

Jing-wang sensed that something didn’t seem right and ordered the servants experienced with
raising fish to come look. However, the servants couldn’t figure anything out this time either and
can only say the same as before, that the fish was sleeping.

— since it was the same, then why won’t he wake up?

Jing-wang didn’t actually believe these words and ordered Wang Xi to invite imperial physician
Xu. Imperial Physician Xu only raised a lot of koi in his house. He normally didn’t treat fish.
After being stared at by Jing-wang for a while, he also couldn’t figure out what’s the problem.

Jing-wang really started to panic. Only he knew this was a carp demon. Not “waking” after all
this time, did Xiao Yu encounter some kind of difficulty in his cultivation?

Jing-wang decided to take the fish to find Liao Kong. When Wang Xi learned of this, he hastily
advised against it: “Your highness, please reconsider. Very few people know about your
relationship with Master Liao Kong. If you privately bring Master Xiao Yu to find the honorable
master…….”

You will most likely be noticed by the Emperor.

If Liao Kong had any connections to any of the princes, the Emperor would lose his trust in Liao
Kong. He might even start suspecting Liao Kong’s previous words.

Of course Jing-wang understood this. However, saving the fish was important, he can’t do
anything about it.
Liao Kong had some medical skills and also knew the fish’s identity. Other people probably
won’t be much help.

Therefore, even if it raised the Emperor’s suspicion, he still had to go. Xiao Yu saved him in his
youth. Even if he gambled his life for Xiao Yu, it’s worth it!

However, Wang Xi’s words were also worth considering.

Jing-wang wrote: “Help me send a request to the Imperial Palace. Say, fish is sick. I want to
bring fish to find Liao Kong.”

Wang Xi’s eyes lit up. If they could obtain the Emperor’s permission up front, then there’s
nothing to worry about.

Wang Xi immediately ordered servants over and tidied up the luggage to bring with Jing-wang
when entering the palace. Jing-wang placed Xiao Yu into the crystal bottle himself and then
lifted his sleeve to write the request. It was already deep into the night. Jing-wang was still going
to enter the imperial palace. Inside the palace, he also needed to send someone to deliver this
request.

For a moment, everyone was running around all over. This activity and noise finally woke Li Yu
up– it’s more correct to say that Li Yu actually heard it several times already, but no matter
what, he just couldn’t wake up.

This time he used all of his strength and finally managed to squeeze open his eyes. He found
himself actually inside the crystal bottle.

His body hurted a lot. Li Yu also didn’t know what was wrong with himself. He couldn’t even
move his tail.

Li Yu thought the system definitely knew his situation and attempted to summon the system
mentally.

Last time he fought with the System. Who knows if System will answer. But clearly, his current
state was not very right.

System immediately said: “Hello, host. You’re sick right now.”
Li Yu: ???

Li Yu finally realized. So the pain all over his body and the lack of strength was because he was
sick. A fish getting sick was pretty much the same as a person, right?

System corrected him: “You’re sick because you stayed in the water for too long in human form
and froze.”

Li Yu: “……”

Then what should he do? If he was sick…… did the system deal with treating illnesses?!

System said seriously: “Cute pet system only deals with giving missions, not treating illnesses.
Host, your current situation is dire. If you can, please quickly change into a human and plead for
help.”

Li Yu: “…….”

Li Yu also realized the seriousness of the situation. The shitty system has never actively
requested for him to change into a human before. Was he really very sick this time?

Actually from how he couldn’t wake up after several tries, along with the feeble feeling of his
body, Li Yu can pretty much guess the answer.

Moreover, the system ordered him to change into a human. Li Yu was slightly startled. Was it
already the next day?

Li Yu looked around all over. Jing-wang needed to change clothes in order to head into the
Imperial Palace. Wang-gonggong was busy following him and serving him. The room
temporarily was empty. The cover of the crystal bottle was not closed. This was a perfect
opportunity!

Grinding his teeth, Li Yu swam to the opening of the crystal bottle and rolled himself out with
difficulty.

He was already unable to stand the extra pain. He pressed the scale weakly with his fish fin and
transformed.
The moment he changed into a human, he realized that he felt even worse than when he was a
fish. He was cold all over, teeth clattering nonstop.

His fish form seemed to have been able to block some of his body’s discomfort, but it was
unable to help him treat his illness. Meanwhile, after changing into a human, all of the
discomfort came rushing back. However, only by changing into a human can he take the right
measures to treat his illness.

Li Yu used the last of his strength to take out clothes from the interdimensional space and throw
it over himself. He needed to ask for help, but from who?

On Jing-wang’s side, he swiftly changed clothes. The request for entering the imperial palace has
been written. Jing-wang planned to rush directly to Guardian Temple as soon as the Emperor
approved, not caring at all that it was already late at night.

When he pushed open the door to grab the crystal bottle, he immediately saw someone fallen on
the floor, completely wet all over.

This was…… Xiao Yu!!

Jing-wang recognized Li Yu and hastily stepped forth to take the other into his arms.
Unintentionally, he touched Li Yu’s arm and discovered that the other was extremely scalding to
touch.

Li Yu leaned against Jing-wang. He had been pissed off at Jing-wang all this time, not wanting
to see this person. However, when he couldn’t wake up, he heard Wang-gonggong trying to
persuade Jing-wang many times, saying that all of the servants, as well as the imperial physician
say that fish was fine.

Jing-wang was the only one insisting that Li Yu was sick; he even wanted to bring fish to find
Liao Kong.

Li Yu knew all of this, including how Jing-wang dove in the water to find him, how he carried Li
Yu in his arms and brought him out. He was able to hear the strong and sturdy heartbeat coming
from the chest that he was pressed against. Even when he couldn’t wake up, it accompanied him
in his dreams, making fish feel calm and at ease.
“Your highness, I… I feel terrible……”

Voice hoarse, Li Yu spoke in a sobbing tone. The illness and the grievances that he felt in the
last few days… in a split second, he no longer cared about any of it.

Hearing this, Jing-wang promptly hugged him and picked him up in distress. Raising his leg, he
kicked the door open.

He knew Xiao Yu was having a fever. He anxiously wanted to summon someone, but no matter
what, he couldn’t make a sound. He could only cough from the strain. Jing-wang was in such
panic that his forehead was covered with sweat.

“Your highness!” Wang Xi finally heard the activity and rushed over.

Since Xiao Yu changed into a human, the imperial physician can treat him. Jing-wang indicated
Wang Xi to clear the path while he carried Xiao Yu personally to find the imperial physician.
