Chu Shaoyao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing what she said.
Doesn't this carp spirit think that humans and fish are the same in this matter?
He used his inner strength to massage her for a while and then stopped. It was not because he didn't want to continue, but if he continued, her waist would be broken.
Chu Shaoyao brought a glass of water from the table, picked Wen Liyu up from the bed, let her lean on his chest, and fed her water. "Are you still tired?"
"Much better, just sleepy." Wen Liyu yawned and rubbed his chest.
There were muscles here, nicely shaped and plump, and she found it very comfortable to use as a pillow.
"This time you maintained your human form longer than usual. Why is that?" Chu Shaoyao stroked her soft long hair, and the shiny black hair passed through his fingers.
Wen Liyu didn't know how to explain the system pill, so she said vaguely, "Um... I don't know either."
She blinked, making herself look innocent and cute, and said nonsense, "Could it be because of last night...?"
“…” Chu Shaoyao paused, and suddenly thought of the way the monsters in the storybooks practiced. The blush behind his ears gradually spread to his cheeks.
Could it be...could it be that what is written in the storybook is true?
Do fairies need to absorb men's essence and energy in order to practice quickly?
Wen Liyu leaned against him, seemingly in a daze, but in fact she was looking for the system in the system space. "How is the childbearing mission going? Am I pregnant?"
"Ding, it's detected that the host has used the [One Shot to the Soul] pill and is now confirmed to be pregnant."
"Ding, Mission: Three-Day Pregnancy [Completed], Reward Points:."
"Host's current points:." The system's voice was slightly excited. It had brought many hosts with it, but only she gained points so quickly.
While other hosts are still struggling to achieve a comfortable life, grunting as they do their strenuous daily tasks, the little koi has already achieved a comfortable life.
The stronger the host's ability, the more rewards the system will receive when the rewards are settled after the task is completed.
Just as the system was happily dancing in its heart to celebrate, the hidden task list began to light up again. It immediately got to work and started reading out the completed hidden tasks.
"Ding, the host has achieved the following: Hit the target with one shot; Four babies in one pregnancy; Make the male protagonist unable to stop wanting me within three days; Good luck with pregnancy."
"Achievement rewards are now being distributed: Scale replacement times +2, space expanded to five cubic meters, ten 24-hour transformation pills, points +1000."
Wen Liyu was stunned by the series of notifications from the system. "So many?!"
She only did it once with the male lead, and she got this much reward! Is this what it feels like to get rich quick? It's so cool!
"Xiao Yu,...Xiao Yu?" Chu Shaoyao's voice brought her back to her senses.
Wen Liyu separated her consciousness from the system space. The joy of sudden wealth made her laugh uncontrollably. She opened her arms and hugged Shaoyao tightly, "Hehehehe."
"Why are you so happy?" Chu Shaoyao was infected by her joy, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his usually cold eyes became soft and full of love.
"I... my cultivation has improved a lot, so of course I'm happy~" Wen Liyu's eyebrows were curved, and her watery almond eyes looked straight at him.
Chu Shaoyao's Adam's apple rolled, his eyes became dark and full of aggression, "Xiaoyu..."
"Someone is coming!" Wen Liyu was reminded by the system. She didn't care about anything else and turned into a little carp directly in his arms.
Chu Shaoyao, who kissed the fish scales: "..."
He picked up the little carp helplessly, put her back into the water, and wiped her lips with a towel.
Seeing the little carp leaning its head against the edge of the bucket, its bright black eyes looking at him guiltily, Chu Shaoyao reached out and knocked on the little carp's head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "I'll go out and take a look."
Wen Liyu obediently watched him leave and slid back to the bottom of the bucket. "System, what's the reward for replacing the scales?"
"It means exactly what it says. The host can choose to change the color of the scales." Whenever the system has time, it will "crunch" and crackle melon seeds, and will only turn back into a serious and cold system when she needs it.
"Then I want to use it!" Wen Liyu has been dissatisfied with her appearance for a long time.
Her original form was a dragon and phoenix koi with a red background and gold, and fins and tails as flowing as butterfly wings.
But now she is just an ordinary edible carp, which is a world of difference.
This kind of disparity is unbearable for a girl who loves beauty! Fortunately, she can't see her appearance normally, so as long as she doesn't see it, she will pretend not to know.
Now that she could change the scales, Wen Liyu used them directly. When the system popped up a screen asking her to choose the base color of the fish body, she chose the same beautiful red as her original body without hesitation!
"Ding, the host's base color has been confirmed. It will take a few days to replace the scales. Please be patient."
Wen Liyu was puzzled. "Wait, don't I have three chances to change my scales? Can't I just change the color a little bit?"
"Okay, host, please tell me your request." After seeing her Koi Luck Talent, the system's tone and attitude were no longer as cold as before.
"I want to dye the belly silver, and change the fins and tail to a gradient red."
System: “…” Are you playing the manicure game here?

As soon as Chu Shaoyao went out, he saw Qin Gu, the chief steward whom his father trusted the most.
"Your Highness, the Emperor invites you." Steward Qin bowed to him, his voice slightly sharp, and he did not treat him arrogantly just because he was the unpopular eldest prince.
Chu Shaoyao frowned slightly and saw that there were several young eunuchs standing next to Chief Steward Qin.
His temperament suddenly changed, becoming somewhat dull and timid.
"Manager Qin, what big thing has happened that the emperor suddenly summoned me?" Chu Shaoyao asked him with lowered eyebrows, his hand naturally brushing across the jade pendant hanging around his waist.
The jade pendant gleamed faintly in the sunlight. Steward Qin's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at the pendant for a moment before retracting it. "I don't know for sure, but judging by the Emperor's expression, it seems something serious has happened."
"Your Highness, please follow me. Don't keep the Emperor and the other princes waiting for too long."
Chu Shaoyao responded quickly, putting on a fawning look as if trying to please the steward, "Yes, please lead the way, eunuch."
The young eunuchs following behind Chief Steward Qin looked at each other subtly, their eyes full of contempt for the incompetent eldest prince.
Chief Steward Qin led Chu Shaoyao in front, quickening his pace slightly to avoid the young eunuch behind him. He said softly and quickly, "Someone poisoned Madam Wen's dinner. The eunuch who was caught said it was your orders. This trip is dangerous, so be careful."
