Chapter 34
Li Yu successfully obtained the Tyrant Master. He rubbed his lips against one, and his heart exploded like fireworks. He had rubbed his master’s lips before, but this time, he was too focused and got carried away. After rubbing his lips, he felt dizzy and giggled foolishly for a while before jumping back into the fish tank.
Then, he realized that the last step of “Million Fish Pets”, “Intimate Contact with the Tyrant Master*, was not completed as he expected.
Li Yu was embarrassed. Could it be that his guess was wrong from the start? Rubbing his lips could not complete the task?
The System finally could not help but remind him, “Host, because you have done the same thing before, repeating the task will not take effect.’
Li Yu, “…”
What the System meant was that he had rubbed his lips before, but it would not take effect in the future.
Li Yu was very angry. He was careless before, but this time, he rubbed his lips seriously. It was still different. Since repeating the task would not work, why didn’t it remind him earlier?
The System said, “Before the host actually took action, the task was not repeated.”
Li Yu was very disappointed, “… Fine, you’re the System. You’re right.”
He thought that completing this step would be as smooth as silk, and he would be able to get the reward immediately. He would also be able to activate the Koi Side Mission, but the System tricked him. If this did not work, how could he have intimate contact with the Tyrant Master?
The System still said, “Please think about it yourself.”
Li Yu. “…”
This System was so annoying. He was so close.
Li Yu was so angry at the System that he blew bubbles the whole night. When he woke up in the morning, his eyes were a little sore. He noticed that King Jing also had dark circles under his eyes, so King Jing probably did not sleep well either.
Li Yu suddenly felt that he was in the same situation as the Tyrant Master.
A servant came to clean the bed and found the water stains left by the little carp on the pillow. The mattress was also a little wet, so the servant reported it to King Jing.
King Jing just waved his hand and asked the servant to change it again.
Li Yu was very confident before he started the task, but now he was really relieved. King Jing definitely knew that he did it last night, but he was not angry. Did this mean that he could do it again in the future?
Unfortunately, he had been thinking about it all night, but he still couldn’t figure out what could be considered a truly effective intimate contact.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t think of it, but there were so many places for a person to take advantage of. Yu had to choose a relatively shameless choice from a pile of very shameless choices, and it definitely hadn’t done it before. This was difficult.
Take King Jing’s face for example. Li Yu often rubbed his face when he was fishing, so it definitely didn’t count.
While Li Yu was racking his brains to think of other body parts besides the face, Eunuch Wang came to report that the heir apparent of Duke Chengen had arrived. King Jing felt that he could not keep the carp spirit cooped up in the house all the time. Moreover, Prince Ye was already very familiar with Xiaoyu, so he decided to bring Xiaoyu along to meet Prince Ye to get some fresh air.
Ye Qinghuan was flushed with success. His wedding with Princess Jinjue was set for two months from now. Based on the relationship between King Jing and the Duke Chengen Mansion, it was only natural that he would be invited. Prince Ye was very sincere. Not only did he personally come to deliver the invitation to King Jing, he also brought two jars of wine in his hands.
“These are two jars of green plum wine that grandfather personally brewed. He asked me to bring them to you.”
Prince Ye put down the jars. Li Yu then remembered that the book also mentioned the green plum wine of the Duke Chengen Mansion.
Ye Qinghuan’s grandfather, the old Duke Chengen Mansion, was also King Jing’s maternal grandfather. He once brewed green plum wine for each of his children and buried it underground.
He planned to take it out and drink it when his children got married. This was originally a very elegant thing to do. After King Jing’s birth mother entered the palace, she didn’t hold a wedding at home, so the wine was left behind. In the past, he couldn’t find a suitable opportunity to give it away. Later, Empress Xiaohui passed away, so he couldn’t give it away even if he wanted to …
Now, the old Duke Chengen Mansion also brewed wine for his grandchildren. He instructed Ye Qinghuan to bring his share, as well as Empress Xiaohui’s, to King Jing. In recent years, the old Duke Chengen Mansion wasn’t in good health. He had been recuperating in the Duke Chengen Mansion and rarely went out. He also missed his grandson who lived alone in King Jing’s mansion.
As a prince, King Jing had to understand some things. Ye Qinghuan specially sent two jars of wine over. King Jing understood. He gently stroked the jar of wine that belonged to his birth mother, his eyes rippling slightly.
King Jing took the wedding invitation and glanced at it. It was rare that he didn’t order someone to drag his cousin out. Instead, he asked Wang Xi to find a seat for Prince Ye.
Ye Qinghuan was flattered and quickly sat down. Thinking of what he had seen and heard along the way, Ye Qinghuan didn’t regard himself as an outsider at all. He asked Prince Ye, “By the way, why are there so many craftsmen in your mansion on this trip? Are you going to do a major renovation?”
Ye Qinghuan saw with his own eyes that King Jing’s mansion was surrounded by fences and that there were constant sounds of digging from the ground. He had known King Jing for many years and knew how cold-hearted this person was. King Jing had never cared about the layout and furnishings of King Jing’s mansion. He hadn’t changed it since he moved in. This was the first time he had done a major renovation.
Could it be that King Jing was envious of him and wanted to join in the fun because he was about to get married?
If that was really the case, Ye Qinghuan felt that he was quite beautiful.
King Jing glanced at Wang Xi. Wang Xi stepped forward and mercilessly shattered Prince Ye’s dream. “Prince, His Highness is going to make … a new fish tank for Master Xiaoyu.”
Ye Qinghuan:???
So it wasn’t because of him, but because of the fish?
Prince Ye didn’t expect that his beloved dog couldn’t compare to a fish, and he couldn’t compare to a fish either. “…”
“Tianchi, aren’t you going overboard?” Prince Ye couldn’t help but complain.
Li Yu was thinking about intimacy in the coral fish tank beside King Jing’s hand. When he suddenly heard that there was a new fish tank, Li Yu immediately swung his tail excitedly.
As he swung his tail, he pondered over Prince Ye’s words. Recently, he had been staying in King Jing’s house and didn’t come out because of his scales. King Jing was always watching over him, so he basically didn’t have the chance to transform into a human. He also didn’t know that King Jing was building a new fish tank.
If the new yard was built, Li Yu might not know who it was for, but the new fish tank was definitely for him. He was King Jing’s only fish!
Although the tyrant master didn’t rape him anymore, he was still so nice to him …
Li Yu squeezed some water out of the fish’s eyes and took the initiative to swim to King Jing’s hand. He nuzzled King Jing’s finger with his mouth.
King Jing was listening to Ye Qinghuan’s complaints in one ear and out the other. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow swimming towards him from the fish tank. The intimate touch from his fingertips made him touch it without thinking.
King Jing didn’t realize what he had done until he grabbed the fish’s tail and twirled it in his hand.
In a moment of carelessness, he had actually touched the carp spirit …
King Jing suddenly regretted it. It was fine if he didn’t know about it in the past, but now that he knew, he still took advantage of the fish.
However, the fish was still twirling in his hand. He didn’t move, but the silky tail was still sliding between his fingers. After raising fish for so long, he knew that this was a sign that Xiao Yu was happy. It seemed that Xiao Yu… didn’t mind. Or rather, he liked it.
King Jing slowly curled his lips. Did this mean that Xiao Yu wanted to continue like this, just like him?
Originally, he was a little unhappy because he thought of his biological mother whom he had never met. However, he was swept away by Xiao Yu’s tail.
King Jing didn’t retract his hand. Li Yu shouted excitedly, “Oh, oh, oh, he touched me again!!!”
Ye Qinghuan was about to get married, so he became bolder. After feeling that he was neglected, he complained in front of King Jing. However, when he turned around, he saw that King Jing was focused on taking advantage of the fish and didn’t hear a word. Ye Qinghuan was speechless.
That was enough. He had completely lost, alright?
Ye Qinghuan carefully went up and smiled apologetically. “Tianchi, can I touch Xiao Yu too? In exchange, you can touch Xiong Feng.”
Although Ye Qinghuan always compared Xiong Feng to Xiao Yu, he had long been craving for the slippery little carp.
Who wants to touch your dog! King Jing narrowed his eyes unhappily. Wang Xi, who was standing beside him, knew what was going on. He quickly ordered people to take Ye Qinghuan away.
“Ye Qinghuan, how could you forget that His Highness doesn’t like people to negotiate with him?” Wang Xi said, exasperated.
“You call that a negotiation?” Ye Qinghuan was stunned.
“Why not?” Wang Xi continued, “He doesn’t like people to touch his fish even more.”
Wang Xi silently said in his heart that His Highness didn’t take you out this time because of Duke Chengen’s face.
Ye Qinghuan was speechless.
Ye Qinghuan could only stand pitifully in the distance and watch his cousin take advantage of the fish. He originally wanted to come to King Jing’s residence to brag about his upcoming marriage, but now he was the one being shown off by King Jing!
Suddenly, Ye Qinghuan discovered something extraordinary. His eyes widened. The fish that King Jing was touching had a golden tail and belly. It seemed to be different from the previous fish.
Ye Qinghuan stared at it for a long time and finally thought he was right. “Tianchi, did you change your fish?”
King Jing ignored him. Wang Xi smiled and said, Ye Qinghuan, what are you talking about? I didn’t change the fish. Master Xiao Yu changed his scales.”
“Fish can change their scales? Why haven’t I heard of it? “Ye Qinghuan didn’t believe it.
King Jing glanced at him indifferently. Wang Xi immediately said, “Ye Qinghuan, you haven’t heard of it, but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Besides, doesn’t Xiong Feng also change his fur?”
Ye Qinghuan couldn’t help but nod. Xiong Feng did change his fur, and every time he did, there would be a pile of dog fur in Duke Chengen’s residence – but Xiong Feng wouldn’t change his color for no reason, right?
However, King Jing’s fish had always been smarter than the average fish. Perhaps it was different after all.
Ye Qinghuan blinked and convinced himself that King Jing really didn’t have to lie to him. If he made King Jing unhappy again, he would probably be kicked out again.
“Okay, actually, Xiao Yu changing his scales… is quite impressive.”
Ye Qinghuan racked his brains and came up with a compliment after a long time, trying to leave a good impression on King Jing.
King Jing nodded coldly at Ye Qinghuan. Li Yu, who was enjoying being rubbed, was so comfortable that his tail shook, “Ye Qinghuan, great minds think alike!”
Ye Qinghuan’s efforts were rewarded with a meal from King Jing.
The old Duke Chengen’s green plum wine, Empress Xiaohui’s jar, had already been put away by Wang Xi. Ye Qinghuan patted the other jar, “Grandpa made this for me. Let’s try it together.”
King Jing didn’t say anything. Wang Xi guessed his master’s thoughts and brought over two colored glass cups for King Jing and Ye Qinghuan to drink.
When the wine jar was opened, the sweetness of the green plum blossoms came out first, followed by the mellow taste of the wine. Wang Xi used a long silver spoon to scoop out the green plum blossoms from the bottom of the wine jar and scooped them into a white porcelain plate beside him. According to the customs of the current dynasty, green plum blossoms weren’t usually used when drinking green plum wine. However, there were also people who liked green plum blossoms. Wang Xi made it convenient for King Jing and Ye Qinghuan to use it.
Li Yu’s coral fish tank was also on the table. He now had the honor of eating with his tyrant master.
While Wang Xi was preparing the green plum wine, King Jing had already fed Xiaoyu a handful of red fish food and half a peach blossom cake.
Li Yu should have been satisfied with the fish food and the peach blossom biscuits, but when the green plum wine was opened, the smell was so good that even the fish in the tank could smell it.
The gluttonous worms in the fish’s stomach were all hooked.
Li Yu held a peach blossom cake in his mouth and floated to the surface of the water. He kept smelling the fragrance of the green plum wine. He also wanted to drink the green plum wine, but King Jing definitely wouldn’t let a fish drink. He could only watch King Jing and Ye Qinghuan drink, right?
After King Jing fed the fish, he still ate the remaining half of the peach blossom cake. Ye Qinghuan watched enviously from the side. He felt that he had been blinded by lard just now. How could he have thought that King Jing would change to a fish?
Wang Xi poured wine for the two of them. The green plum wine was poured into an exquisite glass cup. King Jing looked down at the clear wine and his long fingers slowly fiddled with the cup. He raised the cup and took a sip. Ye Qinghuan had already raised his head and finished the wine in one gulp.
“Good wine.” Ye Qinghuan wiped his mouth and praised. He didn’t need Wang Xi to pour him another cup and filled it himself.
Li Yu, who was secretly watching them drink, thought, “Master is so handsome … Ye Qinghuan is drinking like a bull!”
The aroma of the green plum wine seemed to be lingering in the air, attracting the fish. Ye Qinghuan’s forthrightness made the fish want to drink even more!
Ye Qinghuan drank like this. King Jing had only finished one cup when Ye Qinghuan had already drunk three cups in a row. After three cups, Ye Qinghuan’s ears were dyed red and his eyes were a little dazed.
“Tianchi, this wine … Grandpa also brewed it for you. In the future…” Ye Qinghuan burped and said with a smile.
King Jing was stunned for a moment. He put down the wine cup and ordered Wang Xi to bring Ye Ginghuan some hangover soup.
Some people only knew how to sleep when they were drunk. Some people only knew how to poke holes in the world when they were drunk. Ye Qinghuan was in between the two. When he was drunk, he liked to pull people and talk a lot of nonsense.
King Jing saw that Ye Qinghuan was about to fall to the ground and had no choice but to reach out and pull him up. Ye Qinghuan pulled him back and began to talk about how he was beaten by his parents when he was young in Duke Chengen’s residence.
King Jing actually listened to him in a daze for a while.
Li Yu knew that King Jing might have been reminded of his childhood. He was afraid that King Jing would feel uncomfortable, so he hurriedly jumped into the water a few times.
King Jing heard the sound of the fish splashing and turned his head to look at the fish. His gaze was reassuring.
Wang Xi spent a lot of effort to hold Ye Qinghuan down and force him to drink the hangover soup.
Ye Qinghuan was still talking non-stop. In the end, he simply said that he didn’t want to get married.
Li Yu, “…”
It turned out that Ye Qinghuan, who was such a carefree person, actually had a phobia before marriage. You really couldn’t judge a book by its cover.
Li Yu could understand. After all, Ye Qinghuan and Princess Jinjue, two people who had barely spoken to each other, were about to get married and live together for the rest of their lives. It was normal for him to be confused. Perhaps Ye Qinghuan wanted to use this method to completely overcome the fear that he couldn’t tell others.
King Jing couldn’t understand Ye Qinghuan’s feelings. Moreover, King Jing didn’t have the patience to take care of a drunkard. He ordered Wang Xi to guard Ye Qinghuan while he took the fish back to the house.
He had caught a glimpse of Xiaoyu’s eyes looking at his colored glass cup. He guessed that Xiaoyu was craving for it. However, green plum wine couldn’t be drunk carelessly. Ye Qinghuan was already so drunk …
However, King Jing was still willing to satisfy the carp spirit’s request. After thinking for a while, he took the plate of green plum blossoms that Wang Xi had scooped out of the wine. If the carp spirit only ate some green plum blossoms and didn’t drink wine, it wouldn’t be a problem.
When Li Yu saw that King Jing had brought him and the green plum blossoms, he immediately wagged his tail happily. Was King Jing going to give him the green plum blossoms? It must be, it must be!
King Jing returned to the house and put down the green plum blossoms. He saw the little carp turning its head and staring at the green plum blossoms. King Jing smiled and put the fish down as well.
At this moment, Wang Xi ran over and said, “Your Highness, Ye Qinghuan doesn’t seem to be feeling well … Do you want to go over and take a look?”
In King Jing’s mansion, when King Jing left, Wang Xi was usually the one who made the decision.
However, Ye Qinghuan was the heir of Duke Chengen after all, so Wang Xi couldn’t be too harsh on him. At this critical moment, he still had to ask for King Jing’s opinion.
King Jing knew that something might have happened that even Wang Xi couldn’t make the decision for, so he had to go back.
Just as he was about to pat Little Fish’s head, he noticed that the carp spirit’s eyes were fixed on the green plum blossoms and didn’t realize that he was leaving.
King Jing suddenly felt that the plate of green plum blossoms he brought back was a bit of an eyesore.
The body of a fish … couldn’t eat the green plum blossoms.
King Jing suddenly remembered that during the past few days when Little Fish’s scales were falling off, he had often guarded the fish. Although Little Fish’s scales had changed, it hadn’t transformed into a human form since returning from the palace. Could it be that Little Fish would only be able to transform after he left?
He had originally planned to crush the green plum blossoms and feed them to the fish, but he didn’t plan to do so now. He only left a plate of green plum blossoms for the carp spirit. Would the carp spirit be able to transform?
King Jing took a deep look at the fish and hurriedly left to visit Crown Prince Ye. Li Yu obediently listened in the fish tank for a while. After confirming that King Jing had really left, he used his transformation skill.
Ever since returning from the palace, he hadn’t been able to find a chance to transform. King Jing was always guarding him. Although he was touched, it wasn’t convenient for him to transform.
Although he could only maintain his human form for an hour, it was enough for him to eat and have some fun.
There was nothing urgent at the moment, so he could transform for the sake of the green plum blossoms to satisfy his cravings.
There were many green plum blossoms on the plate. He just directly scooped them out of the wine jar while watching Wang Xi. No one would count them, so it wouldn’t be a problem to taste one or two. It was safe!
Li Yu familiarly found a set of underwear from the wardrobe and put it on. He sat down in front of the table and picked up a green plum. The wine made from the plum blossoms was amber in color, but the plum blossoms themselves were still dark green. The green color and sweet aroma made people salivate.
Li Yu stuffed the plum into his mouth and carefully took a bite. The green plum blossoms were sweet and sour. There seemed to be a lot of wine left in the flesh. The wine wasn’t strong and was sweet. He immediately fell in love with the taste. After eating one, he immediately picked up another one.
At King Jing’s place.
The hangover soup didn’t sober Crown Prince Ye up. He hugged the pillar of the palace and cried loudly. King Jing listened to him for a while with an expressionless face. Wang Xi really couldn’t make a decision in this situation. King Jing directly cut Ye Qinghuan with a knife, and Ye Qinghuan quieted down.
King Jing ordered Wang Xi to find a carriage, put Ye Qinghuan in, and send him back to the Duke Chengen Mansion to be taken care of by the Duke Chengen’s people.
After dealing with Ye Qinghuan, King Jing was also sweating profusely. He remembered that there was still a carp spirit in the room, so he rushed back without wiping his sweat. He didn’t know if the carp spirit had transformed. When he returned, would it turn back into a fish?
When he pushed open the unlocked door, he smelled a strong smell of wine. The young man he had met several times was sitting on the ground in a daze. His face was red and his eyes were blurred. He was holding a plate with one hand and licking the other hand. There was only one green plum left on the plate.
What’s going on?
King Jing’s lingering doubts turned into – he finally transformed back into a human form when he saw the young man.
King Jing was secretly delighted. He slowly walked over and thought about what he should say 1 the human-shaped fish..
No, he couldn’t speak. Even if Xiaoyu was a human, it was still inconvenient. He had to find some paper and a pen first.
King Jing paused and turned around to look for a pen and paper. Xiaoyu suddenly laughed and hugged him, rubbing against him happily.
“Master, you’re back?” The young man’s voice was soft and nasal.
King Jing’s heart skipped a beat when he was suddenly hugged. He recalled that not long ago in Jing Tai Hall, the young man had called him “Your Highness”. Why was he calling him “Master” now?
Xiaoyu’s cheeks were red and his eyes were bright. He carefully picked up a green plum with both hands and stuffed it into King Jing’s mouth. King Jing didn’t think it was appropriate, but Xiaoyu was too enthusiastic. He couldn’t persuade him otherwise, so he had to eat it.
The green plum that entered his mouth contained far more alcohol than the ones he drank from the glazed cup. King Jing was shocked. He glanced at the empty plate and saw many plum seeds rolling around on the ground. ‘Has Little Fish eaten up most of the plum blossoms?”
He didn’t know that there was so much wine in the plum seeds used to make green plum wine.
This fish must be drunk…
“Is it tasty? I saved it for you! “Xiaoyu lowered his head and rubbed against his hand, asking with a smile.
For some reason, King Jing nodded. Being remembered by the fish, he felt warmth in his heart.
Smelling the strong wine fragrance on the young man’s body, King Jing suddenly realized that this was a drunken fish who had clearly transformed but had forgotten that he was already a human.
No wonder he called him “Master”.
This young man was not a fish that could be held in the palm of one’s hand. King Jing didn’t know how to respond. He gently touched Little Drunken Fish’s arm, trying to make the fish relax.
Unexpectedly, Little Drunken Fish collapsed on his body as if he had no bones.
King Jing was caught off guard. Holding the thin young man, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
“I’m so sleepy. I want to sleep.”
Little Drunken Fish pouted and yawned. His eyes were watery, thinking that he was in the hands of his tyrant master. King Jing wanted to rub the fish, but the fish was too tired to be touched. He rubbed his master’s “hand” perfunctorily.
King Jing, who was rubbed by Little Drunken Fish several times, was speechless.
King Jing felt that the sweat on his back had not dried. His hand hesitated for a moment, then he held Little Drunken Fish in a circle. This might make the fish more comfortable. Since he was drunk and wanted to sleep, it was better to let the fish lie down.
King Jing had good intentions. He helped the fish to the bed. Little Drunken Fish’s eyes were about to close when he suddenly opened them again with a quiver.
“Not here. Where’s my fish tank?” Little Drunken Fish put his hands on his hips and looked around vigilantly.
King Jing was speechless.
King Jing could not let someone sleep in a fish tank. Fortunately, Little Drunken Fish squinted his eyes and looked at the bed. This time, the mattress was white. Little Drunken Fish felt that this was his white stone bed.
Little Drunken Fish walked over and lay down. He kicked the jade pillow to the side.
King Jing wanted to wait for the fish to fall asleep before getting a handkerchief for him to wipe his face. Little Drunken Fish slept for only a moment before he rubbed his eyes and got up. “Where’s my water grass quilt?”
King Jing was confused. ‘Water grass quilt… What’s that?’
King Jing thought of the green leaves that were commonly seen on little carps. That was probably the quilt that Little Drunken Fish wanted. King Jing could not take out the green leaves from the fish tank for him to use as a quilt. After some thought, he rummaged through the cabinets and found a grass-green quilt.
King Jing covered Little Drunken Fish with the quilt. A familiar color flashed before Little Drunken Fish’s eyes. He wrapped the quilt tightly in satisfaction and mumbled, “Thank you, rockery!”
King Jing was speechless.
King Jing wanted to wait for the fish to fall asleep, but Little Drunken Fish got up again.
Little Drunken Fish shook his head and looked at the tyrant master in front of him. He suddenly remembered that he had not finished his mission.
“The system said that I can’t repeat it.” Little Drunken Fish frowned and said unhappily.
King Jing had no idea what the system was and was about to write it down when Little Drunken Fish cupped his face and chuckled.
King Jing was tickled by this fish. He thought that if the carp demon wanted to suck money when he was drunk, he would cooperate to the end.
The carp demon pouted and wriggled around. Finally, it bit his throat gently.
