Li Yu moved to a brand new residence. The new fish tank was several times larger than the old one, and was carved from a nearly transparent piece of crystal. Such a large crystal was very rare in ancient times, and only the royal family could own it. However, in the modern times where Li Yu used to live, crystal was not a rare thing, and large transparent fish tanks were everywhere, so Li Yu had no idea of the value of his new residence, and no one would remind a fish.
The little carp only knew that King Jing moved his accustomed white stone bed into the new fish tank, expanded it more than a circle with the same stones, and moved the water plants as they were, without losing even a leaf.
In addition, King Jing also installed a rockery for him to play. There was a rock in the rockery that looked like a recliner, and Li Yu could even rock it when he lay on it, and he was so happy that he rocked it several times. Concubine Qiu's night-shining pearl was placed in the corner of the new fish tank. Perhaps because they were afraid that he would get tired of this one pearl, King Jing also gave him many other pearls of various colors and sizes.
Li Yu could not tell how valuable the crystal was, and naturally could not tell that these beads were actually gems. In ancient times, it was impossible to perfectly cut gems by hand, and the carving was mostly for inlaying ornaments. The beauty and luster of the gems themselves were not outstanding. As a fish, Li Yu only realized that it was a gem when it was shining. He thought that the rounded gems in the fish tank were just ordinary stones, but with more colors.
Eunuch Wang Xi, who had come to take care of the treasures recently, saw Xiao Dongyu pick up the scattered gems one by one, pile them up, and then pick out a pigeon blood red. Xiao Dongyu moved a little further away and proudly flicked his tail, throwing the pigeon blood red onto the gem pile, knocking the gem pile down...
Eunuch Wang, who witnessed all this, twitched his lips. This was a box of special gems that the emperor had rewarded before. His Highness thought that Xiao Dongxi liked beads, so he ordered people to beat all the gems into beads. Now it seems that Xiao Dongxi really likes beads and has a conscience. With the gems and beads rewarded by His Highness, even the night-shining pearls of the imperial concubine did not roll around.
It took Li Yu a long time to adapt to the new fish tank. By the time he reacted, there was only half a day left for the "get along" mission.
Oops, how come they really started playing?
Li Yu quickly dropped the beads he was playing with and looked for King Jing everywhere.
The crystal fish tank was transparent enough, so he could easily find King Jing without having to jump up. The handsome young man was reading a book at his desk. The sunlight shone through the window lattice on the young man, casting a layer of gentle golden light on him.
Li Yu was stunned. In the past, when he was in the blue and white porcelain fish tank and in the teacup, he always looked up at King Jing. He was very familiar with King Jing's cold face, but he didn't know that this face could be so gentle.
He stared at him blankly, and some sadness inexplicably surged in his heart.
All in all, they had spent a lot of happy time together. In this world, the person he had the most contact with was King Jing.
In another hour or two, the fish life would come to an end. King Jing would never know that a person from another world had become his pet fish.
For a moment, Li Yu suddenly had a crazy idea. He wondered whether he should use the transformation drug regardless of everything. Even if it would cause a commotion, so what? He was a human being. It was very unfair for him to be inexplicably transformed into a fish. It was not excessive to want to bid farewell to this world in human form
. Just as he was about to enter the system to become a newspaper fish, King Jing put down the scroll and walked over. Perhaps he stayed in front of the crystal wall of the fish tank for too long, so long that King Jing noticed the little carp while reading.
Li Yu wagged his tail at King Jing listlessly as a final farewell.
King Jing thought the fish wanted to play again. The crystal fish tank made it easy to see the fish's movements, but because the fish tank itself was larger and higher, it was not very convenient to put his fingers into the water to touch the little carp as before.
King Jing felt a little sorry, and his hand, which wanted to tease the fish, covered the crystal wall.
Li Yu paused and swam over slowly. He was now a dangerous fish and was not easy to coax.
Due to the nature of the fish, he blew a bubble at King Jing's fingertips.
King Jing: "..."
King Jing curled his lips unconsciously, put his hand farther away, moved his position, and the little carp followed him again.
While being teased by King Jing, he forgot about Li Yu from the newspaper: !!!
Li Yu: Ah ah ah, time is really running out.
Well, considering that King Jing is pretty good to fish, it’s better… not to cause trouble for King Jing.
The little carp rubbed King Jing’s fingers affectionately through the crystal wall and spent the last hour with King Jing.
“…Host, time is up.” The system interrupted him.
Li Yu was dazed and found that he had entered the fish trap system. He didn’t know what he had been through and how he suddenly entered the system. Would he turn into fish bones and fish ash in front of King Jing?
“Host, please don’t be nervous. You are still alive.” The system comforted him.
…Still alive? That’s good.
Li Yu relaxed and felt something was wrong: Isn’t it said that timeout is also considered a mission failure?
The system explained: “The time limit for this mission means that you have to complete the limited time.”
Li Yu: …Why didn’t you tell me earlier? You are trapping fish again! !
System: "I have reminded the host to be patient. This step is to spend a specified time, and then the system will determine whether the task is successful."
Li Yu recalled that the system seemed to have mentioned patience, but it was so obscure that no one could understand it!
Li Yu asked inwardly: Did I succeed?
System: "Please check the main task."
Li Yu checked the "Get along" step of the "Millions of Fish Pets" main line under the system prompt. The original countdown had been replaced by a small square that kept flashing colors.
System: "This time, the fish pets are judged based on the satisfaction of the tyrant in the past few days. The judgment result is green for passing and red for failure."
Li Yu: ...Speak human language, stop talking nonsense, what is my result?
The system prompt stopped at this moment, and the color of the small square that kept changing also stopped for a moment.
The judgment has been made. If it fails, it will become fish bones and fish ash!
Li Yu bravely went to see the final result. In fact, he felt good about himself. Although he had caused a lot of trouble for the tyrant and had taken advantage of the tyrant, the tyrant was very fond of him and should not refuse to give him red.
Li Yu took a quick look and saw that the judgment given by the system was color.
Li Yu's heart was trembling: color, what does it mean?
System: "Congratulations to the host for completing the step of 'getting along' excellently. The reward is the improvement of healing ability."
Li Yu no longer cared about the reward. His mind kept spinning, so does color mean excellent?
System: "It means special satisfaction."
Li Yu: ...
Li Yu's mouth suddenly stretched to the back of his head. Does this mean that King Jing is particularly satisfied with him? Hahahaha, he really has to thank God and thank King Jing!
The little carp shuddered, exhaled heavily, and jumped up.
Li Yu exited the system and found that he was lying in King Jing's hands again. It turned out that when he was pulled into the system, he was playing with King Jing. The system did not do anything for him, and he sank to the bottom without any warning in front of King Jing.
This scene was so shocking that King Jing couldn't help but think that the fish was sick again.
The eunuchs waiting outside King Jing's house had experience and remembered that it was a similar situation last time. Seeing that the fish was stiff, it was actually fine. They could only vaguely say that the fish fell asleep again.
King Jing still had a gloomy face and waited for the fish to wake up in person.
When Li Yu saw King Jing, his eyes were a little sour. King Jing didn't know that the fish in his hand was actually a human, and he didn't know that he had just experienced a life-and-death situation. It was his pampering that saved him.
The little carp looked at King Jing's handsome face, and his heart was surging.
Fish themselves can't cry, nor can they speak human language. Whether they are happy or not, they just wag their tails and blow bubbles. But Li Yu is not an ordinary fish. When he was excited, he felt that he must do something to express his gratitude to King Jing.
Thinking about how cats and dogs express their love, Li Yu thought that he could also rub King Jing's face with his fish mouth, and there should be no problem.
And he was held in King Jing's hand, a golden opportunity!
Li Yu tried hard to raise his body, but fish are different from cats and dogs. When cats and dogs stand up, their paws can almost reach their owner's shoulders, but when the carp stands up, its fins are too short to reach anything. After a few tries, it fell back into King Jing's hands.
Li Yu was not discouraged. He still had a powerful tail. He just needed to aim at King Jing's face and jump to rub it.
Remember not to use too much force. He wanted to rub King Jing's face, not slap his mouth. It had to be gentle.
This time he didn't make a big mistake in the strength, but his sense of direction was not very good. He didn't aim when swinging his tail, and he jumped off the right side.
The little carp didn't notice at all. When he jumped up, he saw the handsome face of King Jing getting bigger and bigger. The little carp was secretly happy. Without thinking twice, he put his mouth up and rubbed it happily.
His pointed mouth rubbed something extremely soft.
Li Yu thought, it feels so good to rub King Jing's face. Shouldn't cheeks be flat? Why is this one a little wavy and a little hot?
Li Yu: "..."
No way? What did he rub?
Li Yu opened his eyes wide in horror and found that his mouth was sadly pressed against King Jing's lips. King Jing's dark eyes were staring at him without blinking.
He made a mistake again!
The little carp shrank and slid off King Jing's lips, returning to the heaven of separation and hatred.
King Jing held the fish while wiping his lips that were hurt by the collision. This little fish, is it coming again?
He seemed to be able to foresee that the fish would be wilted for a few days.
Li Yu, who had finally completed a small step in the main line, conducted a more profound self-examination than last time, and just began to prepare fish food as a gift to apologize to King Jing, when the fish-trapping system dropped another bolt of thunder from the blue.
"Hello, host, the fourth step of the main line mission 'The Tyrant's Millions of Fish Pets' - sleeping in the same bed with the tyrant has been opened, please complete it carefully."
Li Yu: "..."
The fish-trapping system thinks that the gifts he gave to King Jing are not enough, and it even wants him to sleep in the same bed with the tyrant. Besides, fish cannot live without water, how can it sleep in the same bed with someone!
