The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 91
Chap 91
Because Bao#1 suddenly turned into an infant, Jing-wang had no choice but to let the servants
know, saying that Li Yu was already in labor.
The ‘midwife’ that was prepared ahead of time was also invited into the house. Jing-wang still
stood guard over the delivery room himself.
In the last few days, Wang Xi had been paying close attention outside. When he abruptly heard
the sound of an infant’s cry, he was extremely delighted. However, after not seeing the little
master for quite a while and feeling like a hundred claws were scratching his heart, Wang Xi
received news from Jing-wang saying, one has already arrived, and there was more.
After a moment of surprise, Wang Xi immediately became ecstatic. In the later periods, Li-
gongzi’s stomach was indeed larger than a usual pregnant woman. Wang Xi also guessed that
perhaps there was more than just one, however, Jing-wang didn’t want to reveal anything
carelessly. Wang Xi can only guess and didn’t dare to spread it anywhere.
Now that he learned that it was indeed twins, Wang Xi was so happy that he immediately started
to pray to god for protection.
It’s been said that having twins was very tiring and also very dangerous. Wang Xi hoped that Li-
gongzi and the little masters will all be safe and well.
Outside the labor room, Wang Xi and the servants were all waiting anxiously. In the labor room
was another kind of scene.
The “midwife” was one of Jing-wang’s loyal subordinates in disguise. They knew some
medicine. After they entered, they started to wipe Bao#1 down and inspect his health. Also, they
rewrapped properly the swaddling clothes that Li Yu had wrapped haphazardly.
“He’s crying so tragically. Is he feeling uncomfortable somewhere?” Li Yu asked quietly.
When Bao#1 was a fish, he had never cried even a drop of tear. Why would he cry so terribly
after turning into a human?
Over here, the loyal subordinate had already finished the examination and said respectfully: “The
little prince’s body is extremely healthy.”
The loyal subordinate didn’t actually know where this infant came from. The only thing she
needed to know was that this was the little prince. Beyond that, she just answered whatever she
was asked. As for why the little highness would cry, this was really very much the normal; all
infants were like this.
Li Yu, who still didn’t know why Bao#1 was crying: “…….”
Forget it. Fish dad decided generously. He will just wait to ask Bao#1 when he got older and
learned to speak.
Bao#1’s body was healthy; his crying loud and clear. Jing-wang also felt relieved.
Ever since he can remember, the imperial physicians had told him that his mute disability was
hereditary and most likely would pass down to his children.
Because he and Xiao Yu were both men, he didn’t need to worry about this before. Later, when
he unexpectedly had fish babies. Xiao Yu proudly told him the fish babies all knew how to say
dad. At that time Jing-wang felt, perhaps his mute disability wouldn’t pass down to the children
of a carp demon.
However, it was impossible to hear the voices of fish babies in person ultimately. He was afraid
Xiao Yu might be disappointed so he didn’t mention anything to Xiao Yu. Now that it’s been
proven that Bao#1 was fine, Jing-wang finally didn’t need to feel apprehensive anymore.
After the devoted subordinates reported everything was well, and Bao#1 had already transformed
into an infant, now it was time for the other fish babies.
Jing-wang ordered the loyal subordinate to temporarily move to another room, leaving this one
to only himself and Li Yu. The two of them silently waited for the other fish babies to change
forms.
From “pregnancy” to “birth”, Jing-wang thought of pretty much everything, and nothing was
amiss. However, even with the two of them combined, they never imagined that the little fish
babies would be changing all together in unison. Instead, they were to be transformed one by
one. Because Bao#1 suddenly changed, the other fish babies needed to change as quickly as
possible to make this a ‘successful’ labor.
If a normal pregnant woman had many children at once, they wouldn’t be birthed too far apart
after all. If it was every hour, or even every two hours, that’s fine. If the difference was a day or
two, then it would be too unimaginable and too dangerous.
Therefore, the current task right now was to make the remaining three fish babies transform as
quickly as possible. They can’t let this ‘labor’ drag on for too long.
Li Yu had thought that with Bao#1 as an example, the other babies should be fighting and trying
to outdo each other in transforming. However, for some unknown reason, the remaining three
fish babies were all huddled together, trembling and shaking.
Li Yu: ?
Li Yu waited for a while. Bao#2 still didn’t have any activity. This couldn’t keep going like this.
Li Yu gave Jing-wang a look and then transformed back to a fish himself to go ask the fish
babies what was going on.
When he returned to fish form and swam into the fish tank, the fish babies immediately swam
over and gathered around him.
“Dad! Dad!” Bao#2, Bao#3, and Bao#4 cried in unison: “So scary! Big brother suddenly
changed into a human QQQQ!”
Li Yu: “……..”
Li Yu said in amusement: “Don’t you guys want to change into humans?”
Bao#2, Bao#3, and Bao#4 shook their heads wildly in unison: “No, we don’t want to!”
Li Yu: “……why’s that?” Fish dad felt like being human was definitely more interesting than
being fish. So what’s making the fish babies refuse to transform?
Bao#2 said hesitatingly: “Dad, I wanted to before. But after big brother transformed into a
human, he couldn’t even move. So I don’t want to anymore.”
“That’s right, transforming is so scary!” Bao#3 echoed: “I also wanted to transform before, but
big brother can’t even talk. I’m afraid to become like big brother.”
Bao#4 said resolutely: “Dad, I’m not transforming!”
Who would have thought, the revolution was not even successful yet; the wide eyed fish babies
were already trying to mutiny.
The three fish babies were huddled into a ball, Li Yu couldn’t deal with them like this. He
needed to first come up with a plan to break the three fish babies’ alliance apart.
Li Yu first threw a big piece of peach blossom cookie in Bao#4’s direction. Bao#4 immediately
forgot about his older brothers and turned his attention to nomming on the peach blossom cookie.
Li Yu separately attacked the remaining Bao#2 and Bao#3.
He knew that these two babies, one loved to eat, one loved pretty things, so he focused on their
individual preferences.
Li Yu said patiently and systematically to Bao#2: “Changing into a human is actually pretty nice.
You can be like daddy. Other than peach blossom cookies and fish food, you’ll be able to eat
plenty of other delicious foods. And you can play with the little ducklings as much as you want.”
When Bao#2 heard that there was a lot of delicious food to eat, his eyes practically lit up. He
also really liked the little ducklings, however, dad never allowed him to get close. So if he
changed into a human, he would be allowed?!
For the sake of food and fun, Bao#2 felt his heart palpate with eagerness.
Li Yu then said to Bao#3: “After you change into a human, you can wear clothes just like dad
and put on a lot of shiny dazzling jewelry.”
Bao#3 who loved pretty things: “Ao! Dad, I really like shiny things! I also want to wear dad’s
clothes!”
Although Bao#3 was an extremely pretty silver fish, he couldn’t transform back and forth. No
matter how pretty something was, after looking at it for a long time, people would feel tired.
Plus, he was a fish? However, fish dad was able to change his clothes everyday without wearing
the same thing twice. Bao#3 was very envious.
Just like Bao#2, Bao#3 changed his mind as well.
Li Yu didn’t spend much effort to persuade these two. He said with a smile: “So do you guys
want to try changing into humans?”
Bao#2 and Bao#3 exchanged looks and happily nodded their heads: “Alright!”
They just finished speaking when Bao#2 and Bao#3 transformed in unison into a pair of infants
almost the same size as their big brother.
Jing-wang was standing guard at the side. He swiftly picked up these two.
Li Yu jumped onto Jing-wang’s shoulder in his fish form and went to look at Bao#2 and Bao#3.
They actually looked just like Bao#1, and had chubby little faces.
Li Yu couldn’t help but feel sour briefly. How come they didn’t look like him even though he
was the one who birthed them all?
After a while, Bao#2 and Bao#3 also started wailing loudly. Perhaps because the two babies
didn’t immediately receive the delicious food, fun, and pretty clothes they were promised, they
felt deeply heartbroken.
Li Yu thought guiltily, just wait until you guys grow up, then you’ll have it all.
Now that Bao#2 and Bao#3 has transformed, the only obstinate fish baby who wouldn’t change
was Bao#4.
Bao#4 was still vigorously eating the peach blossom cookie. When he raised his head, he
discovered that all of his older brothers had disappeared; fish dad was currently looking at him
kindly.
“Bao#4, do you want to change into a human?”
Bao#4 shook off the food crumbs on his fin: “Ao! Don’t want to!!”
Li Yu attempted to motivate him like he motivated Bao#2 and Bao#3: “There’s delicious food,
fun games, and pretty clothes. Bao#4, don’t you want any of that?”
“Don’t want!” Bao#4 said loudly: “Bao#4 has the peach blossom cookie that dad gave me to eat.
And I can play together with dad. Bao#4 doesn’t like pretty clothes.”
Li Yu: “Then what does Bao#4 like?”
Bao#4: “I like the two daddies the best!”
Li Yu felt warm spread in his heart. Following Bao#4’s words, he asked: “Then can Bao#4 help
daddy with something?”
Bao#4 scrambled to nod his head.
To be able to help daddy, the simple and stupid Bao#4 felt like he was much more amazing than
his older brothers.
Li Yu was very experienced with coaxing kids by now. He said to Bao#4: “If you can transform
into a human, then you’ll be helping daddy a lot. Can Bao#4 do this?!”
This time, Bao#4 replied without even thinking: “I can!”
……
……
Li Yu thought that Bao#4 would transform when he agreed, but Bao#4 didn’t.
After Bao#4 agreed, he wagged his tail very earnestly at Li Yu.
Li Yu and Bao#4 stared at each other, big eyes vs small eyes. After waiting for a while, Li Yu
didn’t understand what’s going wrong.
“Bao#4, how come you haven’t changed?” Li Yu couldn’t resist urging.
Bao#4 looked at his own fish body and spread open his short tiny fish fins. He yelled loudly
experimentally: “Transform!”
However, he still remained a little fish, without any changes at all.
Li Yu: ?
Bao#4: ???
Li Yu: “……”
Li Yu abruptly realized a fact: “Bao#4, don’t tell me you don’t know how to change?”
Bao#4 whined: “Yes. I don’t know.”
If this fish baby didn’t change soon, this might become a ‘difficult labor’!
Under the danger of exposing himself as a system fish, Li Yu reminded the slow and dimwitted
Bao#4: “Don’t you have something called ‘system’ that is telling you to do a mission?”
“En? Yep! He’s very annoying. I ignored him! Daddy, am I very well-behaved?” Bao#4 felt like
this system wasn’t anything good.
Li Yu: “……”
“You can listen this time.” Li Yu forcefully suppressed the desire to rub his forehead and taught
Bao#4: “Just do as he says and you should be able to transform.”
“…… really?” Bao#4 finally understood and spun two circles where he swam while mumbling
quietly to himself.
Li Yu thought he still didn’t understood, but Bao#4 suddenly wagged his tail and swam over. He
used his fish mouth to affectionately nudge Li Yu.
“Dad!” Bao#4 yelled happily.
He wanted to say, I can finally do it now. However, he didn’t even finish speaking when he
disappeared. At the same time, a small infant appeared before Li Yu. The infant had a pair of
dark black eyes that looked like the night sky, and curly hair. His skin was fair white and he was
quiet like a little angel. He looked towards Li Yu and gave him a smile, revealing a toothless
grin.
“Congratulations, Host. The branch mission ‘grow big and become human’ has been completed.
Please accept the rewards.”
After Li Yu finished incubating the eggs, the System became the same as before. The main
mission sank into a complicated moment of computation and examination and has not issued any
new tasks for a while. The only task that was progressing lately was the branch mission of
helping the fish babies grow.
The time it took to complete this branch mission was somewhat long. The description now said
that the children have all successfully completed the metamorphosis of changing from a fish into
a human, and become people of this world.
Meanwhile, Li Yu looked at the empty and spacious fish tank, which only had him remaining,
feeling somewhat sentimental.
Li Yu had asked the shitty system before about the mission that fish babies need to do to
transform. The System was all secretive and didn’t actually want to tell him the details.
Li Yu only knew generally that the task wasn’t hard. After the fish babies finish the task, they
can change into infants. However, they won’t be able to obtain any transformation skill from it.
Before the age of seven, they won’t be able to change back to a fish.
If they still remembered their experiences as a fish at the age of seven, and was willing to try to
change back into a fish at that time, the System would issue new missions to them that will allow
them to obtain the transformation skill.
If they have forgotten by that time…after obtaining a new life, it wasn’t actually a bad thing.
Li Yu was in a daze. He knew this was the road that his children must take. However, knowing
was one thing. To not be able to see the lively and vigorous fish babies again for such a long
time still made him feel an unavoidable sense of sadness. Just as he was feeling sorrowful, a
hand reached over and gently rubbed his back.
He leaned against it, like grabbing onto a floating piece of wood, leaning firmly on this hand.
Regardless if the children will remember this experience in the future, or if they will remember
their fish dad, Li Yu still had Jing-wang to accompany him by his side. His highness would
never allow him to feel lonely.
Li Yu very quickly calmed his mental state and wrapped his tail around Jing-wang’s fingers.
The people outside have waited for too long. It was time to show the kids to the world.
Li Yu jumped into the crystal bottle himself. Jing-wang still carried him so that he could also see
the kids like this.
There were no other issues. Jing-wang waved the jade bell. As soon as Wang Xi heard his
master’s summons, he charged in like an arrow.
Outside, Wang-gonggong had heard the sound of three infants crying and was so happy he
couldn’t stop grinning. However, when he entered, what he saw was– four little masters??
“My god! This is really a great jubilation!” After a moment of palpitation, Wang Xi knelt down,
kowtowed, and thanked all of the gods possible.
Jing-wang gained noble sons. On the same day, the childbirth expert physician arrived at the
West Frontier and rushed over relentlessly to Jing-wang’s estate in Maple’s Landing.
After learning that Li-gongzi gave birth to four in one go, the imperial physician couldn’t even
believe it.
Li-gongzi, who finished “labor,” needed to recuperate quietly. Jing-wang didn’t allow anyone to
disturb him. Even the imperial physician had to assess his pulse through the many layers of
curtains.
After the physician finished assessing “Li-gongzi”’s pulse, he went to look at the four little
princes who were just born.
A man becoming pregnant was really such a fantastical story. The Emperor’s secret order was
for the physician to verify the identities of Jing-wang’s supposed children.
The physician originally planned to obtain a drop of blood from Li-gongzi to verify. Therefore,
he first apologized towards Jing-wang.
Jing-wang shook his head. How can he willingly allow the physician to disturb Li Yu. Stopping
the physician, he rolled up his own sleeve instead.
After a moment of surprise, the physician recovered and hastily retrieved Jing-wang’s blood.
In comparison to knowing whether Li-gongzi can become pregnant, the Emperor naturally was
more interested in knowing if these children were actually Jing-wang’s blood.
After the test, the little princes were indeed all Jing-wang’s. Furthermore, each of the children’s
lungs cried louder than the next. They weren’t actually mutes like the Emperor had worried.
This was really great news. The imperial physician wrote a report himself and sent it back to the
Imperial City extremely urgently.
