Chapter 91
Because Dabao suddenly turned into a baby, King Jing had no choice but to immediately inform his subordinates that Li Yu had been born.
The “midwife” that had been prepared beforehand was also invited into the room, and King Jing personally guarded the delivery room.
Wang Xi had been keeping an eye out for the past few days. When he suddenly heard the baby crying, he was overjoyed. However, he didn’t see the little masters for a long time. Just as he was scratching his heart, King Jing sent word that they had given birth to another child and that they were still in labor.
Wang Xi was stunned for a moment before he was overjoyed. Young Master Li’s belly was bigger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman. He had also guessed that there might be more than one child, but King Jing refused to reveal it so easily. Wang Xi only guessed and didn’t dare to spread it around.
Now that he found out that they were twins, Wang Xi was overjoyed and immediately prayed for the protection of the gods.
He heard that twins were very difficult and dangerous, so Wang Xi still hoped that Young Master Li and the little masters would be safe.
Outside the delivery room, Wang Xi anxiously waited with his subordinates. Inside the delivery room, it was a different scene.
The “midwife” was one of King Jing’s trusted subordinates in disguise. She had some medical skills. After entering the room, she started to scrub and examine Dabao’s body. She also re-wrapped Li Yu’s messy swaddling clothes.
“He’s crying so sadly. Could it be that he’s not feeling well?” Li Yu asked softly.
When Dabao was a fish, he never shed a single tear. Why did he cry so much when he became a human?
The trusted subordinate had already finished his examination. He respectfully cupped his hands and said, “His Little Highness is very healthy.”
The trusted subordinate didn’t know where the baby came from. Anyway, as long as he knew that it was His Little Highness, he would answer any questions. As for why His Little Highness was crying, it was very normal. All babies were like this.
Li Yu, who still didn’t know why Dabao was crying, “…”
Forget it. The fisherman’s father decided to wait until Dabao could speak before asking him.
Da Bao’s body was healthy, and his cries were loud and clear. King Jing was also relieved.
For as long as he could remember, an imperial physician had told him that his muteness could be passed down to his children.
Because he and Xiaoyu were both men, they didn’t need to care about this. Later on, when they unexpectedly had fish cubs, Xiaoyu proudly told him that the fish cubs all knew how to call him father. King Jing felt that perhaps the muteness would not be passed on to the carp demon’s offspring.
However, he did not manage to hear the sound of the baby fish with his own ears. He was afraid that Xiaoyu would be disappointed, so he did not tell Xiaoyu about it. Now that it was confirmed that Da Bao was fine, King Jing did not have to worry anymore.
Da Bao had already become a baby. Next, it was the turn of the other fish cubs.
King Jing ordered his subordinates to retreat to another room for the time being, leaving only him and Li Yu. The two of them silently waited for the other fish babies to transform.
From “pregnancy” to “giving birth”, King Jing’s plan was very thorough and there was nothing wrong with it. However, the two of them did not expect that the fish babies would not transform at the same time, but one by one. Because Da Bao transformed first, the other fish babies had to transform as soon as possible in order to successfully “give birth” to a child.
After all, if a pregnant woman gave birth to more than one child, there would not be too much of a difference. It would be fine if there was a gap of one or two days, but it would be too ridiculous and too dangerous if there was a gap of one or two days.
Therefore, the next task was to transform the remaining three fish babies as soon as possible. They could not let this “baby” drag on for too long.
Li Yu thought that with Da Bao as an example, the other babies would also scramble to transform. However, for some reason, the remaining three fish babies were all huddled together and trembling.
Li Yu: “?”
Li Yu waited for a while, but there was still no movement from Er Bao. He could not wait any longer. Li Yu gave King Jing a look and turned himself into a fish so that he could ask the fish babies what was going on.
Once he turned into a fish and swam into the fish tank, the fish babies immediately swam over.
“Father! Father! ” Er Bao, San Bao, and Si Bao cried in unison. “It’s so scary. Big Brother turned into a human all of a sudden!”
Li Yu: “…”
Li Yu laughed and said, “Don’t you want to transform into a human?”
Er Bao, San Bao, and Si Bao shook their heads in unison. “We don’t want to!”
Li Yu: “… Why?”
The fish father felt that being a human was definitely more interesting than being a fish. What caused the fish babies to not want to transform?
Er Bao hesitated and said, “Father, I thought about it in the past, but Big Brother can’t even move after turning into a human. I don’t want to anymore.”
“Yes, transforming into a human is so scary!” San Bao agreed. “I also wanted to transform into a human in the past, but Big Brother can’t even speak. I’m afraid I’ll become like Big Brother.”
Si Bao said resolutely, “Father, I won’t transform into a human!”
Li Yu: “…”
He did not expect that before the revolution succeeded, the fish babies with thick eyebrows and big eyes wanted to betray him.
The three fish babies hugged each other tightly. Li Yu did not know how to deal with them. He had to think of a way to break up their alliance first.
Li Yu first fed Si Bao a large peach blossom cake. Si Bao immediately forgot about his brothers and focused on eating the peach blossom cake.
Li Yu took care of Er Bao and San Bao one by one.
He knew that one of them loved to eat, while the other loved to look pretty. He guided them to their respective preferences.
Li Yu guided Er Bao patiently. “It’s actually quite good to transform into a human. You can be like Father. Besides the peach blossom cake and fish food, you can also eat a lot of delicious food. You can also play with the duckling however you want.”
Er Bao’s eyes widened when he heard that there would be a lot of delicious food. He also liked the duckling, but his father did not allow him to get too close to it. It turned out that he could transform into a human!
For the sake of food and play, Er Bao’s heart palpitated.
Li Yu then said to San Bao, “After you transform into a human, you can wear the same clothes as Father and a lot of shiny jewelry.”
San Bao, who loved to look pretty, said, “Oh, Father, I also like shiny jewelry! I also want to wear Father’s clothes! ”
Although San Bao was a beautiful little silver fish, she could not transform. No matter how beautiful something was, one would get sick of it after looking at it for a long time, let alone a fish. However, her father’s clothes changed every day. San Bao was very envious.
Like Er Bao, San Bao also changed her mind.
Li Yu did not spend much effort to convince the two of them. He smiled and said, “So do you want to try transforming into a human?”
Er Bao and San Bao looked at each other and grinned as they nodded. “Sure!”
Just as they finished speaking, Er Bao and San Bao turned into a pair of babies who were about the same age as their elder brothers.
King Jing was standing guard by the side. He quickly picked up the two of them as well.
Li Yu jumped onto King Jing’s shoulder and looked at Er Bao and San Bao’s faces. They actually had the same chubby face as Da Bao.
Li Yu could not help but feel jealous. Why did they not look like him at all?
Not long after, Er Bao and San Bao also started to wail. Perhaps they were upset that they did not immediately get to eat, play, and wear nice clothes.
Li Yu felt guilty. You will all have them when you grow up.
Er Bao and San Bao transformed. The only fish that refused to transform was Si Bao.
Si Bao was still chewing on the peach blossom cake energetically. When he looked up, he realized that his elder brothers had disappeared. His father was looking at him kindly.
“Si Bao, do you want to transform into a human?”
Si Bao shook off the crumbs on his fins. “Oh! No! ”
Li Yu tried to inspire him like he did with Er Bao and San Bao. “Si Bao, don’t you want to eat, play, and wear nice clothes?”
“No!” Si Bao said loudly, “Si Bao has Father’s peach blossom cake to eat. He can also play with Father. Si Bao also does not like nice clothes.”
Li Yu said, “Then what does Si Bao like?”
Si Bao said, “I like my two fathers the most!”
Li Yu’s heart warmed. He followed his words and asked, “Then can Si Bao help Father with something?”
Si Bao rushed to nod his head.
The simple-minded Si Bao felt that he was more capable than his elder brothers to be able to help Father.
Li Yu was very experienced in coaxing children. He said to Si Bao, “If you transform into a human, you will be helping Father. Can Si Bao do it?”
This time, Si Bao said without hesitation, “Yes!”
…
…
Li Yu thought that Si Bao would change his mind after he agreed. However, Si Bao did not.
After Si Bao agreed, he wagged his tail seriously.
Li Yu and Si Bao stared at each other. They waited and waited, but they did not know what went wrong.
“Si Bao, why aren’t you transforming?” Li Yu could not help but urge him.
Si Bao looked at his fish body. He opened his short fins and tried to shout, “Transform!”
However, he was still a small fish. He did not move at all.
Li Yu, “?”
Si Bao, “???”
Li Yu, “…”
Li Yu suddenly realized something. “Si Bao, don’t tell me you don’t know how to transform?”
Si Bao cried, “Yes, I don’t know.”
If this fish baby did not transform, he was afraid that it would be difficult to give birth!
Li Yu risked exposing his identity as a system fish and reminded the clumsy Si Bao, “Isn’t there a self-proclaimed ‘system’ that can ask you to complete tasks?”
“Huh? There is! He is very annoying, but I ignored him! Daddy, am I very obedient? ”
Si Bao felt that this system was not a good thing.
Li Yu, “…”
“This can be changed.”
Li Yu suppressed the urge to rub his forehead and taught Si Bao, “Do as he says, and you should be able to transform.”
“… Is that so?”
Si Bao came to a sudden realization. He spun around twice on the spot and muttered a few words.
Li Yu thought that he still did not understand. Si Bao suddenly swam over and rubbed his mouth affectionately against Li Yu.
“Daddy!” Si Bao shouted happily.
He wanted to say that he finally knew how to do it, but before he could finish, he disappeared. At the same time, a baby appeared in front of Li Yu. He had a pair of eyes as dark as midnight. His hair was slightly curly, and his skin was white. He was as quiet as a little angel. He smiled at Li Yu, revealing a toothless smile.
“Congratulations, Host. The ‘Growing Up’ side mission has been completed. Please receive your reward.”
After Li Yu hatched the fish, the system was the same as before. The main mission was immersed in complex calculations and judgments. It had been a long time since it had released a new mission. The most recent one was to help the fish grow up.
This side mission took a long time to complete. The notification indicated that the children had successfully transformed from fish into humans and had become people of this world.
Li Yu looked at the empty fish tank. He was the only fish left and felt a little reluctant.
Li Yu had asked the system about the fish transformation mission, but the system was secretive and refused to tell him the details of the mission.
Li Yu only knew that the mission was not difficult. After completing the mission, the fish hatchlings could become babies. However, they would not be able to transform back into fish until they were seven years old.
If they still remembered their experience when they were seven years old and were willing to try to transform back into fish again, the system would release a new mission for them. After completing it, they would be able to transform back into fish.
However, if they forgot, it might not be a bad thing for their new life.
Li Yu was in a daze. He knew that this was the only way for the children. However, knowing was one thing. It had been a long time since he had seen the fish hatchlings. It was inevitable that he would feel sad. Just as he was feeling sad, a hand reached over and gently touched his back.
He leaned on this hand as if he was leaning on a piece of driftwood.
Whether the children would remember this experience or not, he still had King Jing by his side. His Highness would never let him be alone.
Li Yu quickly calmed down and curled King Jing’s fingers with his tail.
The people outside had waited for too long. It was time to take the children out.
Li Yu jumped into the crystal bottle. King Jing still kept him by his side so that he could look after the children.
Everything was fine. King Jing rang the jade bell. Wang Xi heard his master’s call and rushed in.
Eunuch Wang heard the cries of three babies from outside and was so happy that he couldn’t close his mouth. However, when he came in, he saw that there were four little masters.
“Heavens, this is really a joyous occasion!”
Wang Xi was stunned for a moment. He then knelt down and thanked the gods.
King Jing was happy that he had a son. On the same day, the gynecologist arrived at the western border and rushed to King Jing’s residence in Maple Town.
Even the imperial physician couldn’t believe that Young Master Li had given birth to four babies.
After giving birth, Young Master Li needed to rest. King Jing didn’t allow anyone to disturb him. Even the imperial physician continued to check his pulse through a curtain.
After the imperial physician checked Young Master Li’s pulse, he went to check on the four little masters who had just been born.
It was a strange thing for a man to be pregnant. The Emperor secretly ordered that if King Jing gave birth to a child, the imperial physician must verify the child’s identity.
The imperial physician originally wanted to take a bit of blood from Young Master Li to test and apologize to King Jing.
King Jing shook his head. How could he bear to let the imperial physician disturb Li Yu? He stopped the imperial physician and rolled up his sleeves.
The imperial physician was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He quickly took King Jing’s blood.
Compared to whether Young Master Li could get pregnant or not, the Emperor was more concerned about whether these children were King Jing’s blood.
After the test, the children were indeed King Jing’s children. Moreover, the children’s voices were louder and louder. They didn’t have the muteness that the Emperor was worried about.
