The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 96

Chap 96
Because Li Yu had disguised his identity of a System fish as a carp demon, when he revealed
everything to Jing-wang, he changed doing the task into passing a heavenly tribulation.

The gist was, he needed to pick a time to pass the tribulation, which will take three days. He will
be in a half human half fish state and needs Jing-wang to take care of him and protect him.

Jing-wang held his hand tightly and listened quietly.

Li Yu finished explaining the task quickly. Jing-wang occasionally furrowed his brows, but he
still held Li Yu’s hand without letting go at all.

Li Yu didn’t want to give the other too much pressure and suggested: “I don’t have to do this
tribulation immediately. We can take it slow and pick a place where people won’t disturb us first
…… It’s only that when that time comes, I will look very unsightly and not be able to move
around very well. Your highness, please prepare some food for me to eat and freshwater. And
don’t let others see me. That should be it.”

Although the task’s name was “protect the pet fish,” he was about to turn to something that’s not
human nor fish. He definitely couldn’t remain in the estate like that. Removing potential dangers
should make the task easier.

Jing-wang thought about far more complicated things. He retrieved brush and paper to write:
Wait a few days for me. I will protect you thoroughly.

Li Yu read these words repeatedly, warmth burning his chest in waves: “Aren’t you going to ask
what I will change into, your highness?”

Jing-wang tugged his hand and said with a smile: No matter how you look, you’re still you.

“Alright…… when the time comes, you better not laugh at me, your highness!” Li Yu pretended
to joke.

When people are in love, they usually hope to look their best in front of their lover. Li Yu also
felt the same. They just got married. Although he wasn’t devastatingly beautiful, he was at least
a cute, dashing looking youth. He subconsciously didn’t want Jing-wang to see him in his not
human nor fish form.

If it were a human body and fish tail, that’s fine. If it were a fish body and human legs, then he’d
really be no different than a monster. Li Yu already thought that changing into a fish in front of
Jing-wang was rather embarrassing. Now the System wanted him to be half human, half fish.
This was really digging a deeper and deeper pit for him each time without end huh?

But when Li Yu thought about how after finishing this step of the main mission, he could
completely return to being human, no matter how unwilling he was, he had no other choice but
to do it. The person in charge of doing the task this time was Jing-wang also; lying was not
enough to circumvent it.

Even though Jing-wang had always treated him well, Li Yu still inevitably felt uneasy. However,
Jing-wang’s simple sentence dispelled Li Yu’s inner worries. Temporarily unable to control his
own emotions, Li Yu abruptly turned around.

Don’t misunderstand. People only cried when they were sad and upset. He was only feeling
touched because of the hubby; his voice didn’t feel too comfortable.

However, thinking about the various ways Jing-wang had cherished him, Li Yu should really
place his trust in Jing-wang. Perhaps a human fish / fish human would look very shocking, and
Jing-wang might be extremely startled, but he definitely wouldn’t disappoint Li Yu.

Li Yu felt emotional; Jing-wang misunderstood and thought he was scared that the heavenly
tribulation wouldn’t be successful. Jing-wang continued to write: Don’t worry. I won’t let you
wait too long.

Li Yu smiled and nodded vigorously.

Ever since he got together with this person and got married, he has always felt very reassured.

After this discussion, Jing-wang learned that Li Yu needed to “face a heavenly tribulation” and
made plenty of arrangements. Lately, in the Emperor’s letters, he’d always mention the kids.
Although it was only a sentence here and there, Jing-wang speculated that his family of six’s life
in the West Frontier shouldn’t have much time left. However, since the children were still young,
even if the Emperor wanted it, Jing-wang didn’t plan to let them experience the weariness of
traveling so soon. He planned to fight for at least after the four kids were weaned off of
milk……
Although Xiao Yu said that the heavenly tribulation was no rush and they could take their time,
Jing-wang felt that sooner was better than later. The location of the heavenly tribulation was
more reliable if it were at the West Frontier. In the West Frontier, he had full authority, even
capable of making the perfect excuse to cover up the pregnancy and birthing. If they returned to
the Imperial City, there was likely to be far more restrictions. He was also worried that Xiao
Yu’s identity would be exposed.

From his point of view, these few days after the big wedding were a pretty good time. For the
sake of the big wedding, he already dealt with a lot of things. No one would be stupid enough to
bother him during his wedding vacation either.

The only issue was that if he and Xiao Yu went to face the tribulation, the kids would have to be
entrusted to Wang Xi to take care of. Ye QingHuan also hasn’t left yet and can be captured to
deal with this urgent situation.

In Maple’s Landing, other than this estate that the Mayor had cleaned up for Jing-wang to stay
in, later on Wang Xi secretly also purchased some property to use in case of emergency. Jing-
wang picked one of those places. It wasn’t far from the Jing Estate and was also connected to the
Jing Estate via a secret underground tunnel. It was perfect for the tribulation. If something
happens, they can also return to the estate immediately.

After picking the location, he informed Li Yu of his plans. Li Yu was surprised by Jing-wang’s
meticulousness. It was rather shameful, but he only thought about preparing water and food.
Jing-wang even thought about the place to stay and the kids. Li Yu really didn’t need to worry
about anything; he didn’t even have anything extra to add.

Jing-wang secretly ordered people to get the residence prepared as quickly as possible. He also
ordered Aunty Xu to prepare a lot of food that Li Yu loved to eat. The rations and fish food filled
an entire cart. Don’t even talk about staying for three days; there’s enough food to stay 30 days.

As the person with the most authority in the West Frontier, Jing-wang did not need to reveal to
others where he was bringing his wangfei. However, he still needed to give some explanation to
Wang Xi and Ye QingHuan. Jing-wang’s plan was to pretend to go hunting. However, when he
was in the Imperial City, he rarely went hunting. Therefore, this excuse was really too
perfunctory. Li Yu wanted to offer some help. Struck by a brilliant idea, Li Yu came up with the
excuse of a honeymoon.

“Your highness, where I’m from, after people get married, they’d go on a honeymoon. It’s when
newly married couples go out on a trip to have fun and relax.”
Li Yu thought: He really suffered a loss here. Why did he have to tell Jing-wang truthfully that
the mission only needed three days. He should have added some more days so they could enjoy a
romantic two-person world.

Li Yu said this, Jing-wang immediately thought it was a good idea. Therefore, he told this to Ye
QingHuan and Wang Xi.

After Wang-gonggong learned that his highness and wangfei was going to spend some alone
time together, he was extremely delighted. The estate already had four little masters, four young
lords. Perhaps after this trip, there will be a few more young ladies?

Wang-gonggong giddily acknowledged it and even pragmatically wished his highness and
wangfei a happy honeymoon.

Ye QingHuan, however, wasn’t too willing. Ye-shizi, who was forced to help out, said with a
ferocious expression: “How come you guys get to go on this honey… honeymoon, while I have
to look after your kids for you?”

Jing-wang glanced at Wang Xi. Wang Xi laughed out loud: “My lord, his highness said he’s only
letting you take care of them because you’re worthy.”

“Like hell!” Ye QingHuan said: “I came over to drink wine and celebrate. I’m a guest. Who has
their guest do work? What logic is this? It makes more sense to let me go on the honeymoon as
well, right?”

Jing-wang cut him with a look of disdain. Xiao Yu said that the honeymoon was for husbands
only. People attempting to disturb the honeymoon were candles (lightbulbs).

It didn’t matter if Ye QingHuan agreed or not. Jing-wang brought Li Yu away on their trip as
scheduled. The four kids were given to Ye QingHuan.

Presently, the fish babies can’t speak and can’t move, but they can listen. Through all sorts of
conversations, they learned that their daddies were going out and leaving them with Wang-
gonggong and Uncle Ye.

The fish babies were very familiar with Wang-gonggong. When Wang-gonggong is taking care
of them, Bao#1-4 are all very well-behaved.
However, this was the first time they met Uncle Ye. The Baos weren’t particularly courteous
towards strangers.

Meanwhile, Ye QingHuan was about to be a dad himself. Jing-wang was outrageous, but this
didn’t prevent Ye QingHuan from caring for the children seriously. It’s only that as soon as he
saw the three little fatties who looked extremely like a younger Jing-wang– he finally managed
to tell Bao#1, Bao#2, and Bao#3 apart. Bao#2 and Bao#3 would wail as soon as they saw him, so
noisy they gave him a headache. Bao#1, on the other hand, maintained a severe expression the
entire time.

When Ye QingHuan was younger, he was also beaten up by the little fatty before. For a second,
he thought he was looking at the real little fatty and felt intimidated briefly.

Rubbing his nose, Ye QingHuan thought he was being overly imaginative. However immediately
following this, he received a look of disdain from that kid.

Ye QingHuan: ……what’s going on. He really wanted to fight!

However, Ye-shizi was an adult and couldn’t do anything towards a weak and helpless infant
who didn’t even know anything. Therefore, in the end, the fight didn’t happen.

Ye QingHuan picked up Bao#2 and Bao#3, then scooped Bao#1 into his arms in an
inexperienced manner.

He thought: this was also a kind of practice. In a few more days, his own child should be born.

Ye QingHuan rubbed the three Baos on the head and couldn’t resist smiling.

Oh. There’s also a Bao#4, who looked more like Li Yu and wasn’t as naughty as these three
other Baos. When Bao#4 saw Ye Qinghuan, he always smiled happily.

“Bao#4, say uncle!” Ye QingHuan got excited and pinched Bao#4’s squishy soft face, a prime
example of someone who bullied the weak, but was afraid of the strong.

Bao#4 kept smiling and then suddenly, with a ‘ao woo’, he bit down on Ye-shizi’s hand.
Although he didn’t have any teeth, the two empty rows of gums left two red marks on Ye
QingHuan’s hand.
Ye-shizi screamed.

On Li Yu and Jing-wang’s side, the two of them very quickly reached the secret residence. Jing-
wang didn’t take long to send everyone else away, leaving only himself.

They brought enough food. Inside the courtyard, Jing-wang had ordered people to dig a pond,
which was filled with fresh water inside. The fish tanks were also brought over.

“Your highness, I…… am going to start.” Li Yu warned him.

Tugging on Li Yu’s hand, Jing-wang pulled out an embroidered pouch from his sleeve and
handed it to Li Yu.

“What’s this?” Li Yu asked. Jing-wang always had all sorts of things to give to him.

Under Jing-wang’s eye gesture, Li Yu opened the embroidered pouch.

He saw an old protection talisman inside the embroidered pouch, as well as a paper note.

The paper note explained the origin of the protection talisman. Before Jing-wang was born,
Empress Xiao Hui originally obtained this protection talisman for her unborn child. This actually
counted as a heirloom from the deceased Empress. Jing-wang had stored it away carefully all this
time, never wearing it before.

Right before coming to the West Frontier, he specifically ordered people to bring the protection
talisman to Master Liao Kong, asking Liao Kong to bless it, just for this moment.

During heavenly tribulations, demons often encountered danger. Jing-wang firmly believed that
this protection talisman could save Li Yu’s life.

“Your highness, thank you very much…….”

Li Yu sniffled and hung the protection talisman around his neck with a complicated feeling. He
was actually very well aware that he wasn’t actually facing a heavenly tribulation. This
protection talisman was at best a piece of paper. Even if something happened, it wouldn’t be able
to do anything. But unexpectedly, because of the lie that Li Yu created, Jing-wang gave Li Yu all
of his love and trust, which was gathered inside this protection talisman.
Even though Li Yu had no other choice, he still felt extremely guilty at the moment.

You can start. Jing-wang nodded his head towards Li Yu.

“Your highness, can you first turn around?” Li Yu brought up his last request. He didn’t even
know what he would turn into. He needed to give Jing-wang some time to get used to it, and also
give himself some time as well.

Jing-wang was always extremely patient towards him. After Li Yu asked, he immediately
listened and turned around.

Clenching his teeth, Li Yu swiftly entered the system. When the System asked him if he’d like to
start the mission, he picked yes without hesitation.

A thought floated across his head for an instant. The System said that the human fish and fish
human forms would alternate. So will he change into a human fish or a fish human first?

……

When Li Yu returned from his thoughts, he felt a chill all around him. His head also felt
somewhat itchy. Looking down, Li Yu discovered that his legs and feet were still present.

Li Yu thought he still didn’t change yet. However, when he opened his mouth, he couldn’t speak.
Looking again, he saw his hands have already changed into a pair of short, short fish fins. He
suddenly realized that the task already started.

This wasn’t the same as his fish form. His fish form was a complete fish that was much smaller
than humans. However, right now, his legs and feet were still human legs and feet. This indicated
that his body size didn’t change at all, yet his hands were……

Ahhhhhhh, this was the fish human form!

The lower body was human, the upper body was…..!!!

Li Yu hastily went to cover his face, but his fins were too short to reach. After a while, he started
having trouble breathing. Looks like although he was half human half fish, the fish half still
couldn’t leave the water.
Li Yu didn’t even dare to look at himself, much less call Jing-wang to turn back around. He
swiftly used his foot to grab a prepared towel next to him, and tried to find a way to wrap up his
upper body.

With the towel over his head, Li Yu rushed frantically into the yard and stuck his head first into
the water.

Even if he trusted Jing-wang, he didn’t want……

QQQ He didn’t even dare to look at himself, there’s no way he’d dare to let Jing-wang look
either!

Jing-wang only heard a plop; Li Yu already jumped into the water.

What’s going on?

Jing-wang didn’t know what Li Yu changed into and stood beside the pond for a while.

The pond inside this residence wasn’t as deep as the one inside the original Jing Estate. Standing
on land, Jing-wang could see a faint shape of Li Yu’s figure.

He also discovered by this time that Xiao Yu didn’t seem to have completely changed into his
fish form.

Seeing that the other was hiding under the water, refusing to come out, and with Li Yu’s
previous record of getting sick after staying in the water too long, Jing-wang was afraid the same
would happen this time as well. Not long afterwards, he decided to head into the water as well.

Just as he was about to take off his outer robe, a water ripple appeared. The person at the bottom
of the water had swam to the surface.

Xiao Yu? Jing-wang was very worried.

At this moment, Li Yu wasn’t saying anything. His upper body and face was covered tightly by a
towel as he stood in the water.
Two holes appeared in the cloth towel. Li Yu looked at Jing-wang from the two holes. QQQ.
Don’t come any closer, your highness!

Both of them couldn’t speak. Li Yu nervously stared at Jing-wang. As soon as Jing-wang moved
closer, he’d back up.

After several tries, Jing-wang also understood that Li Yu was trying to avoid him.

Thinking for a moment, Jing-wang reached out a hand, wanting to pull Li Yu out of the water. Li
Yu was originally going to accept it. However, he only revealed his fish fin briefly when he
remembered that he couldn’t reach and snapped it back again.

Jing-wang: “…….”

Jing-wang had very good eyesight. He already saw the hidden fish fin. Stunned briefly, he pretty
much guessed why Xiao Yu had covered his upper body and face like this right now……

…… This was indeed somewhat unexpected.

Jing-wang gave a soft cough. Since Xiao Yu didn’t let him get close, how was he supposed to
comfort Xiao Yu?

Jing-wang looked around the vicinity and discovered a bamboo stick.

Li Yu also saw the stick. He knew he had to make contact with Jing-wang somehow. Perhaps the
bamboo stick can be used to exchange messages?

Li Yu waited in full anticipation. Then, he saw Jing-wang cut off half of his sleeve and wrap it
around the stick. Then, Jing-wang slowly approached Li Yu with the bamboo stick.

Li Yu: ?

The bamboo stick, which was wrapped in the sleeve, gently touched the top of his head.

This movement…… Li Yu froze.
It’s almost like… the gentle, loving strokes on top of his head, that Jing-wang had done countless
times before.
