Chapter 126
“Tianchi, come quickly!” The perverted fish on the bed couldn’t wait any longer and patted the bed.
King Jing couldn’t help but laugh. He put down the things in his hands and walked over to hug the fish and kiss it.
Li Yu rustled as he reached for his belt. Just as he was about to undo it, a notification popped up in his mind.
“Host, the conditions for activating the side mission ‘Sweet Cotton-Padded Jacket’ have been met. Please confirm whether you wish to activate it and choose the form you wish to take. One, human form, two, fish form …”
Holy shit!!
Li Yu sat up abruptly. This was a familiar formula! And ‘Sweet Cotton-Padded Jacket’, wasn’t that another name for a daughter?
This should be a mission to give birth to a daughter!
It seemed that there was indeed a problem with the location. This, this, this was it!!
“She’s here, she’s here!” Li Yu danced excitedly and was about to enter the system at any moment.
King Jing, “?”
King Jing didn’t know who Xiaoyu was thinking about at this moment. Just as he was feeling a little jealous, a soft sound came from the window.
King Jing’s gaze turned cold. He leaped to the window and pulled out his sword to stab outside.
His sword was blocked in an instant. The two weapons clashed and a crisp sound was heard.
“… There’s an assassin!!”
Li Yu, who was on the bed, couldn’t care less about the notification. He instinctively wanted to help, but King Jing had already run to the door and turned back.
“What are you doing? Go after him!” Li Yu said anxiously.
Even though King Jing could speak, he was still used to using his actions to replace his words at critical moments. He patted Li Yu’s hand and grabbed the brocade quilt. Soon, he wrapped Li Yu up like a spring roll fish.
Li Yu, “…”
Li Yu knew his boss quite well. He hurriedly said, “Okay, don’t worry. I won’t go anywhere. I …”
King Jing was originally worried that he would be in danger if he followed him out.
Li Yu felt helpless, but he still felt a little sweet inside.
King Jing nodded at Li Yu and chased after the assassin. King Jing’s bodyguards had already started fighting with the assassin.
Li Yu had promised King Jing that he wouldn’t leave the room, so he wrapped himself in the quilt and sat on the bed, openly looking through the window.
Why did the Jingtai Palace always attract assassins? Li Yu could not figure it out.
The assassin was eavesdropping outside. He and King Jing weren’t talking about anything serious. Perhaps because he kept saying “she’s here”, the assassin misunderstood and accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
Li Yu watched for a while and found that the imperial bodyguard’s martial arts were very high, and the assassin was also very powerful. The imperial bodyguard and the assassin fought to a draw.
However, there was only one assassin, while the number of guards was increasing. After King Jing joined the battle, he took advantage of the assassin’s unpreparedness to launch a sneak attack. He kicked the assassin in the chest and knocked him to the ground.
Old Attack was so cool!
Li Yu was about to cheer loudly when the imperial bodyguard came forward and tried to tie the assassin up. The assassin’s hair stood on end, and he sneered a few times before committing suicide in front of the imperial bodyguard!
All of this happened very suddenly. The assassin used some unknown method, and a large amount of black liquid spurted out from his chest. King Jing reacted quickly and pulled the imperial bodyguard away in time.
This liquid seemed to have a strong corrosive ability, and the assassin quickly turned into a pool of pus. Li Yu, who was watching from the side, was shocked by this scene. He covered his mouth and kept retreating.
King Jing hurried back to the room to check on Li Yu’s condition.
“Xiaoyu, don’t be afraid!” King Jing called out in a low voice.
“I, I’m fine,” Li Yu said with lingering fear. “The assassin just now …”
“It’s already been taken care of. Don’t worry,” King Jing said.
Li Yu nodded. It wasn’t that he was becoming more and more delicate in ancient times, but he wasn’t mentally prepared. Anyone who saw such a scene, where a living assassin turned into a pool of liquid, would be frightened.
In this world, there was something similar to the Corpse Dissolving Water. It was a little scary.
But when he thought about it, he already had the Book Crossing Fish and the System. The Corpse Dissolving Water was nothing in comparison.
Li Yu frowned and reluctantly convinced himself to accept it.
“Tian Chi, what’s the matter with this assassin?” Li Yu couldn’t help but ask.
King Jing helped him sit down and pointed the thing he found just now — a sword — to Li Yu.
“The assassin left it behind last time. It’s a group,” King Jing said.
Li Yu: Huh?
There are too many assassins in Jing Tai Palace. When was the last time?
King Jing reminded him, “A female assassin.”
Li Yu: “…”
After he said that, Li Yu remembered. When Li Yu was still a System fish that focused on missions, he met a female assassin during the “Share a Bed” mission. Later, she was killed by King Jing.
Li Yu always thought that the female assassin was either from Marquis Ping, Marquis An, or the Sixth Prince, just like the one that was bitten by Xiong Feng. But now, Marquis Ping, Marquis An, and the Sixth Prince were no match for King Jing. Who could the next assassin be?
Why was King Jing so sure that the assassin in front of him was related to the previous female assassin?
King Jing had his reasons. He pointed the female assassin’s sword to Li Yu. Li Yu saw it clearly. It was an ordinary sword, and there was a plum blossom pattern on the hilt.
Li Yu: “?”
King Jing ordered the guards to come closer and show the assassin’s sword.
Although the assassin had turned into water, the sword was still there. Li Yu found that there was the same plum blossom pattern on the hilt of this sword.
If it was only one sword, it wouldn’t be a big deal even if there was a plum blossom pattern. But both swords had the same pattern. It was obvious that it was a kind of mark. No wonder King Jing thought that they were accomplices. Li Yu also thought so.
“You … why did you kill that female assassin directly before?” Li Yu asked cautiously.
He took this opportunity to ask the question that had always been in his mind.
King Jing didn’t answer directly. Instead, he pointed at a pool of dirty water on the ground.
The answer — might lie in this.
If he didn’t kill her at that time, the female assassin would have killed herself and turned into a pool of dirty water.
Li Yu came back to his senses. “You … did you already know that they would do this?”
If King Jing hadn’t pulled the guards away, they might have been splashed by the dirty water. Who knew what terrible things would have happened?
King Jing nodded slightly.
“When I was young, I met assassins like this. I just didn’t know who ordered them.”
“Could it have something to do with your muteness being poisoned?” Li Yu asked worriedly. “Why didn’t you tell Father?”
Since King Jing had met assassins like this when he was young, it meant that the other party had always wanted to kill King Jing. It was also consistent with the intention of harming King Jing. Similarly, this was another person who was good at using drugs (Corpse Dissolving Water). There was a certain degree of similarity between them and the force that had poisoned King Jing. Li Yu’s inference that they were on the same side wasn’t completely unreasonable.
King Jing didn’t say anything. He just looked at Li Yu quietly.
Li Yu’s mind moved slightly. He suddenly understood why King Jing didn’t tell the Emperor before. It was because this group of assassins would turn into Corpse Dissolving Water. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he probably wouldn’t have believed it either. How could the Emperor believe it? Moreover, the Emperor didn’t trust King Jing as much as he did now.
Besides … the female assassin who was killed by King Jing in advance didn’t have time to dissolve her corpse, so the Emperor couldn’t find anything either!
This force was very powerful. They were even better at hiding than the boss, the Sixth Prince!
In the past, there were several princes, so this force was mixed in and not obvious.
If they jumped out now, they would be walking right into a trap.
“Let’s go! Let’s go tell Father! “Li Yu pushed the blanket away and planned to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. He could be King Jing’s witness!
Go just like that?
King Jing’s eyelids twitched. He hurriedly pulled Li Yu back and looked at him with a strange expression.
Li Yu followed King Jing’s gaze and saw himself generously naked in order to get his daughter back.
Li Yu: “…”
Li Yu hurriedly wrapped the blanket around himself again. He laughed and said, “I, I didn’t notice … Of course, I’ll put on my clothes first before going.”
After Li Yu finished packing, the two of them went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to ask for an audience.
But for the first time, the Emperor didn’t see them.
Steward Luo was on an errand and wasn’t in front of the Emperor. The eunuch on duty at the Palace of Heavenly Purity came to pass a message. He said that it was late and the Emperor ordered King Jing and Princess Jing to go back first.
Li Yu looked at the bright moon above his head and thought that it was indeed late.
King Jing took Li Yu back to the mansion first.
Li Yu chatted and laughed with King Jing along the way. Halfway through, he thought of something and became anxious. He kept urging King Jing to go back to the mansion.
After entering the mansion, Princess Yu didn’t have time to check on the baby fish. Instead, she pulled King Jing and rushed straight to the bedroom.
King Jing: “…”
King Jing suddenly felt that this was the opposite of what happened at Jingtai Palace.
Li Yu walked and hurriedly took off his clothes. He muttered, “Hurry, hurry, or she’ll leave again!”
“… Who is it?” King Jing couldn’t stand the jealousy and asked.
Li Yu saw his dark face and couldn’t help but laugh.
After laughing, Li Yu wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered something in his ear with a red face.
King Jing: “…”
King Jing’s ears turned red. He finally knew who she was. He also wanted her to come. King Jing kissed Li Yu’s lips and carried the little lecherous fish into the tent.
Li Yu didn’t have time to choose because the assassin interrupted him. He was anxious to remedy the situation and was afraid that the notification would disappear again.
Fortunately, the system notification did not appear immediately. When King Jing finished sucking on him and laid him on the bed again, the system notification started ringing madly again.
“Wait a minute, wait a minute!”
Li Yu with Bird’s Nest Hair knocked King Jing with Bird’s Nest Hair crazily.
King Jing had no choice but to stop halfway for Xiaoyu.
“Xiaoyu?” What was going on?
“Hubby, wait for me. Mwah ~”
Li Yu rubbed around to comfort Old Gong and quickly entered the system.
Li Yu kept telling himself to be careful and to choose the fish form. The fish form didn’t hurt and he couldn’t make the wrong choice. He chose the human form.
Li Yu thought to herself. She chose the first option and clicked confirm in one go.
Then, he realized that the first option was the fish form, but this time it was the freaking human form!
Li Yu: “…”
F * ck! Why did the order of the options change? Could the system not cheat him?
Li Yu wanted to cry when he saw that the mission was in progress.
System, can I go back on my choice? Li Yu tried to negotiate with the system.
The system would take advantage of any opportunity to cheat him. Naturally, it wouldn’t allow him to go back on his words.
Li Yu was kicked out of the system and found Old Gong holding his waist.
Li Yu’s mind was in chaos.
What should he do? On one side was the sexy Old Gong and the baby he had been thinking about for a long time. On the other side, he was pregnant and in pain.
Hey, can he get out of bed immediately and think about it next time?
“Xiaoyu?”
King Jing called him in a low voice. He pushed Li Yu’s hair aside and kissed his full forehead.
Which perverted fish was it that said that he couldn’t go out until his daughter came?
It was also this fish that suddenly entered a meditative state.
King Jing hugged the fish and wanted to eat it.
Was it so easy to be in a daze when he was with him?
Li Yu: “…”
“I … Mmm!!!”
Li Yu deeply felt King Jing’s hidden bitterness. The arrow was already on the bow, how could it not be released? Li Yu had shot himself in the foot, but he was used to enjoying himself. Now that King Jing could speak, he would call out Li Yu’s name again and again with a hoarse voice. Li Yu’s scalp went numb and he panted like a cow. He even forgot his own name. With the pleasure in front of him, who would still remember whether he was a human or a fish?
In order to make sure that his daughter came smoothly, King Jing put in a lot of effort. Li Yu was so full that he couldn’t even open his eyes. He was about to fall asleep in the next moment.
King Jing finally calmed down and kissed Li Yu’s eyelids lovingly.
Recently, Li Yu had been preparing to have a daughter. He had done many strange and cute things. For example, he would stuff a small soft pillow behind his waist. This way, he wouldn’t waste it easily.
King Jing didn’t know what he meant at first. However, now that he saw Xiaoyu in a mess, he suddenly understood what he meant by wasting it.
King Jing’s face turned red. He also wanted to give Xiaoyu a daughter. Forget about the soft pillow. King Jing had better things. He directly stretched his arm over to cushion Xiaoyu’s back.
Li Yu’s waist and legs were sore and tired. He fell asleep immediately. When he woke up, he realized that he had been cushioned for the whole night. Li Yu: “…”
Damn! Was he still afraid that his daughter wouldn’t come?
Sob, sob, sob. He was afraid that he would really be pregnant soon.
What should he do …
Li Yu was anxious when his daughter didn’t come. Now that his daughter was here, Li Yu was anxious.
How painful would it be in human form?
Li Yu was afraid of pain. However, he was already a father. He knew what to do and what not to do.
This was a little life. Since it was here, he couldn’t abandon it. Moreover, it was a little jacket that he had been looking forward to for a long time.
