When Li Yu woke up, he was sleeping on the white stone bed in the fish tank, with a seaweed blanket covering his body. Li Yu rolled over comfortably, and suddenly remembered what happened before he lost consciousness.
He turned into a human to eat green plums. Green plums were so delicious that he couldn't help but eat more. He even drank a lot of the wine contained in the plums without realizing it. He didn't feel it at first, but when his head started to feel dizzy, nothing happened.
Li Yu was startled and jumped up from the white stone bed. He had no memory of what happened after he became dizzy. So how did he restore his body to a fish?
Could it be that someone else - King Jing saw it?
However, Li Yu took a look at the seaweed blanket covering his body and quickly denied this idea. He could lie on the white stone bed safely and covered with a blanket. It must be something he did to himself after he turned into a fish. It couldn't be someone else.
If King Jing saw him transform, he would definitely catch him. How could he let him lie comfortably in the fish tank?
So he must have transformed back into a fish before King Jing came, and jumped back into the fish tank and fell asleep.
Li Yu swam, and maybe because of being drunk, the fish body was a little tired. After swimming for a while, he felt better.
Li Yu leaned against the wall of the crystal tank to observe the movements in the room. The mess on the ground had been cleaned up. King Jing was sleeping quietly on the bed. It seemed that he had never been drunk from eating green plums.
Li Yu took a deep breath. Well, no news is good news. It should not cause any trouble.
He was so worried about the main line that he wanted to enter the system as soon as he woke up to check if there were any other prompts for "Intimate Contact". In fact, he couldn't choose the face, but he could choose the throat or the ears. Considering King Jing's favor to him, he could just nibble on the fish first. He was just a little hesitant about which one to choose.
Who knew that as soon as he entered, the prompt of mission completion came to his face!
Li Yu: ???
Isn't the main line the only one in progress recently?
Li Yu clicked on the "Millions of Pet Fish" main line and suddenly found that this main line mission that had tormented him for a long time was completed.
Li Yu was no less surprised than when he woke up just now. He quickly looked at the details under the task and confirmed that the last step of intimate contact was indeed completed.
When was it completed and how was it completed? Li Yu was stunned.
System: "When you were drunk."
Li Yu: "..."
Li Yu trembled a little: What did he do when he was drunk? Where did he bite King Jing in the end?
He must have bitten him, otherwise this step would not be completed. I don’t know if it was the throat or the ear, but he must die with an understanding.
System: "You bit the tyrant’s Adam’s apple."
Li Yu: "..."
Li Yu felt that from now on, his face could not be called a face.
As for whether it was a human body or a fish body that bit him, the system did not mention it specifically. Li Yu did not question it. He thought it must be a fish body, otherwise he would not be alive to enter the system.
This is also a blessing in disguise.
The system asked him if he wanted to receive the reward. Close contact is the last step. The reward that can be received in this step is actually the reward for the entire "Millions of Fish Pets" main line.
Li Yu pulled himself together from his depression and prepared to accept. The reward for the main quest was... all attributes were doubled.
At first glance, the scope of "all" was a bit vague, but Li Yu had previously been strengthened in the tail strength, healing ability, etc., which were all the attributes of his book-crossing fish. Li Yu guessed that it should be related to these.
Of course, he clicked to accept, and then heard the system pause for a while, and the machine said: "Congratulations host, the current portable space capacity has increased to 4, the transformation time has doubled, the tail strength has doubled, the healing ability has doubled..."
Li Yu was overjoyed. It turned out that the portable space capacity and the transformation time could also be doubled?
The increase in portable space means that he can carry a lot more things. The transformation time has doubled, from half an hour to one hour?
Li Yu checked the portable space and the transformation skills separately, and it was indeed the case. In his excitement, Li Yu had completely forgotten how embarrassed he was just now.
"Millions of Pets" has been completed, but the next main line has not started.
The system said: "Next, the Pet System will adjust the next main line task based on the relationship between the host and the Tyrant Lord. After the adjustment, the new main line will be released."
Li Yu nodded, because there was a step before, which was also based on his relationship with King Jing. Li Yu was not unfamiliar with it. He thought with relief that if the system did not refresh the main line for him temporarily, it would be like giving him a vacation, which was not bad.
System: "The branch line 'Becoming a Kinkoi' has met the prerequisites. Does the host want to open it?"
Does this mean that the branch line can be done first?
Li Yu became smart and asked vigilantly: Is this task limited in time?
System: "There is no time limit, the host just needs to complete the task. Like other side quests, there will be no penalty for failure."
Usually the temptation of the side quest is always very great. Li Yu, who was just thinking about taking a holiday, accepted it in a moment: OK, please open the side quest for me!
He already has majestic black goldfish scales, and has been secretly looking forward to becoming a koi for a long time.
In the system, the "Become a koi" side quest was lit up for him to check.
This side quest is the same as most of the pit fishing tasks he has done. There are not many hints, and there is only one line of small words.
——To become a koi, you must first have the characteristics of a koi.
The hint was so mysterious that Li Yu could not figure it out for a while, but he was very experienced and knew that he could just take the task and put it aside for the time being, and there was no need to rush, as he would definitely be able to do it someday.
Back to reality, he was still immersed in the joy of completing the main line, and he took a dive in the water and swam happily.
There were many things in the crystal fish tank now, in addition to the white stone bed and water plants, there were also piles of beads of various colors. King Jing built a rockery for him, and there was also a rock rocking chair. Li Yu was the first to swim to the rocking chair and rocked vigorously for a while. Maybe he was too excited, and the rocking chair could not hold him anymore, and it was shaking violently.
Li Yu rolled into the rockery cave again. For some reason, the rockery was particularly beautiful today. Li Yu could not help but drill several holes in a row. The system enhanced him too much, so he did not remember it later. Instead, he was a little smart. Any useful attribute can be realized in the future. For example, he could clearly feel that his swimming speed was also faster.
Li Yu played more wantonly. He often drilled in the rockery in the fish tank. It should not be dangerous. Who knew that this time he was too happy and sad. He drilled into a narrow hole that he could pass through before, but he got stuck and could not get out.
Li Yu: What happened? He was very flexible in the cave before? ?
He was stuck. He looked around carefully and found embarrassedly that his body seemed to have doubled in size.
He used to be a small carp as big as a palm, which could be held in one hand. Now... he has become as big as two hands. No wonder the rocking chair can't hold him. The system has doubled his length and width.
Li Yu twisted hard but couldn't get out of the cave. It seems that not only the length and width, but also the height have changed.
Most of Li Yu's body is stuck in the cave and can't get out. His tail is useless. Even if he can, he can't throw the rockery down. This crystal fish tank is more than one person tall, and the rockery inside is not small. If it collapses, it will not only hit the fish, but also make a noise and disturb King Jing.
The little carp didn't dare to move, thinking that someone would come to change the water and would naturally find him. The helpless little carp fell asleep again.
Not long after, King Jing got up to check on the fish and found that the fish was gone. King Jing was shocked and immediately searched the fish tank for the fish. Finally, he found the fish sleeping soundly in the cave of the rockery.
King Jing's lips twitched, and he poked the fish with his finger, asking why it would leave the white stone alone and sleep in the cave?
King Jing was bitten on the throat by the carp spirit last night. He couldn't hold back his anger and wanted to bite the drunk fish hard. But after the carp spirit bit him, it actually lay on his chest and turned into a live fish. A pile of clothes seemed to have lost their support and fell down one after another.
King Jing was very prepared but still surprised. The fish was struggling uncomfortably due to lack of water. Thinking that this might be the carp spirit showing its true form due to drunkenness, King Jing quickly put the fish back into the fish tank.
He remembered that the fish liked to lie on the bed wrapped in a water grass blanket, so he carefully placed the fish on the white stone and wrapped the fish with water grass leaves. If the fish woke up and remembered what happened last night, he could play cards with it. Who knew that the fish ran to the rockery.
King Jing remembered that the drunk fish called him a rockery in a daze last night, and he was angry and amused.
Li Yu was poked awake. Seeing that it was the tyrant leader, he happily wagged his tail. The fish struggled but couldn't get free. He could only look at King Jing pitifully, asking for help.
King Jing had hoped that the other party would remember what happened last night, but looking at the little fish, he still had a series of fish reactions.
King Jing sighed. Ye Qinghuan almost hit the pillar when he was drunk. What could he expect a fish to remember?
In this case, he could only look for another opportunity later.
The little fish scratched its fins and couldn't swim. King Jing realized that he was stuck. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly ordered people to move the rockery away.
The servants took a whole cup of tea to move the little carp, which was playing with the fish, and finally got out of danger. It swam out with its tail wagging. King Jing picked up the fish and patiently checked if there were any wounds on its body. The fish was safe. He also found that the fundamental reason why the fish was stuck was that his fish had grown bigger.
King Jing: "..."
How... did it change?
King Jing could accept that the little fish was a carp spirit, and it was nothing if it just grew bigger, but this fish had recently changed its scales and grown bigger, which aroused his vigilance. Could it be that the carp spirit had encountered trouble, such as the tribulation mentioned in the story book, and needed the fish to change its form constantly?
It is said that snake spirits and fox spirits are very weak when they are going through the tribulation, and need meticulous care.
King Jing did not know much about the tribulation, but he was good at taking care of the carp spirit.
King Jing ordered people to renovate the rockery. The original caves, rocking chairs, and white stones were all adjusted according to the current body shape of the fish. The
crystal fish tank was not too crowded, and the fish could still live there for a while. When the new fish tank was built, it could be moved to the new residence.
The crystal bottle and teacup that carried the fish were no longer suitable and needed to be selected and prepared again.
King Jing had thought of everything and summoned Wang Xi. When Wang Xi saw the carp that had grown a circle, he took a breath of cool air: "Your Highness, how... how did it grow?"
It grew too fast overnight.
King Jing grabbed a handful of fish food for the fish and glanced at Eunuch Wang.
Wang Xi understood immediately. What his Highness meant was -
I fed it, do you have any opinion?
It was your Highness who fed it, anyway, as long as there was a reason, Wang Xi quickly closed his mouth and did as King Jing wanted.
Wait. Prince Jing rang the jade bell again, calling Wang Xi back, and handed Wang Xi an extra list.
Wang Xi took a look and was secretly surprised. The list asked for custom-made clothes, shoes and socks of various colors, which was nothing, but he saw that the sizes on it were not for his prince. Wang Xi
raised his eyes slightly and looked at his prince in confusion. Prince Jing's face was normal, but there was a faint red mark on his Adam's apple.
Wang Xi was terrified. As a eunuch, he knew very well what the red mark here meant.
His prince might have someone he liked, and it was even very likely that he had been close to that person... But he, who was in charge of all matters in the palace, knew nothing about it, and Prince Jing himself did not mention it. Could it be that these clothes that he was anxious to get were prepared for this favorite person?
This is not impossible, and it is so mysterious that it reminds Wang Xi of someone.
Ever since returning to the mansion from the palace, Eunuch Wang has always had a doubt in his heart. Last time in Jingtai Palace, he saw a disheveled little goblin arguing with his prince. Later, he asked the prince privately, and the prince told him that it was this person who helped the prince's eyes to be clear. Wang Xi was mostly grateful, and later he remembered that the little goblin seemed to be the fish thief and clothes thief that the prince had been looking for, and the male concubine who was unknown.
The male concubine disappeared later, and Wang Xi never saw this person again. However, after returning to the mansion, the prince withdrew all the people who were looking for this male concubine.
Wang Xi felt that it was just because this male concubine helped the prince, and it was deserved.
Last night, he sent the drunken Prince Ye back to the Chengen Mansion. When he came back, he heard someone say that there seemed to be a disheveled young man in the room of the prince.
Wang Xi immediately dismissed the servants, but the next day he saw a red mark on the Adam's apple of King Jing. Wang Xi intuitively thought of a male concubine. After all, he had only seen this person fighting with his prince. The prince asked him to do something for Master Yu, and Wang Xi was very happy. The prince asked him to buy clothes, and Wang Xi was suspicious no matter how he looked at it. These clothes should be for male concubines.
His Majesty not only raises fish, but also hides a concubine. It is probably someone else's male concubine, and he is not going to tell the truth. Wang Xi is confused, sour and happy, but his absolute obedience to King Jing makes him pretend to be blind. He bites the bullet and buys a lot of clothes, which are placed in the designated wardrobe in the house.
As for where the male concubine lives, Wang Xi has never seen it. I believe that one day, his Majesty will let them meet.
When Li Yu was eating fish food, he also saw the red mark on King Jing's Adam's apple. The little carp's face became hot. If this is not the fish bite, then what is it?
The tyrant monarch has a special physique, and some marks are very obvious. Although it may not be as serious as it looks, he knows that he is drunk and has no impression, let alone moderation. He might have bitten too hard.
King Jing was bitten by him, and he can't let King Jing bite him back.
Li Yu silently said sorry, turned around and took a piece of peach blossom cake for King Jing.
King Jing still didn't touch the cake of the fish, and knocked on the head of the fish with a smile. The fish was itchy from being knocked, why didn't he let him know the meaning of knocking on the head?
Li Yu grew up a circle, and his appetite doubled. After eating the fish food, he secretly dragged back the peach blossom cake that he had sent out to apologize. There was no other way, the fish would be hungry if he didn't eat.
King Jing also found that Li Yu was eating more than before. Not only did he not get angry because he had a plate of green plums, he also put a lot of delicious and beautiful snacks in the house to tease Li Yu. Li Yu could not resist the temptation and kept thinking about everything. King Jing seemed to have something to do recently. He was always out and would return hurriedly at night. When he saw something he particularly wanted to eat, Li Yu would change into human form to eat it.
He had enough time to change into a human and back again. He didn't have to worry at all. He ate while thinking, because he was on vacation anyway.
Once, after changing his body, he rummaged through the closet and found several sets of new clothes and shoes and socks, which were very different from the underwear and underwear that King Jing usually wore. There was a note stuffed in the clothes, saying that because the house was counting the clothes, King Jing's old clothes from his youth were temporarily moved here.
Li Yu didn't see how these clothes were old, but as an ancient king, King Jing had to make a lot of new clothes every season. There were more clothes that were not worn than those that were worn. It was possible that these were not clothes that King Jing had worn when he was young. Moreover, they had been dried and were very clean. The size seemed to fit him well, so Li Yu picked a light gold embroidered green leaf one and put on snow-white socks. He was barefoot when he was a human before, and it was rare for him to wear shoes and socks, so Li Yu put them on happily.
After changing clothes, Li Yu would sit down and choose his favorite snacks. Sometimes there would be a pot of tea with a suitable temperature on the table. King Jing would not drink cold tea. If the tea was cold, it would be replaced by the servants. Li Yu thought it would be a waste if he didn't drink it, so he secretly poured some tea to drink, so as not to get sick of eating too many snacks.
Next to the wardrobe, someone had placed a bronze mirror. The first thing Li Yu did after his transformation was usually to change his clothes. With this mirror, that was almost the case. He often walked back and forth in front of the mirror, making faces and smiling faces. Last time, a cook in Prince Jing's mansion was punished for helping him. He still remembered that lady. People without status should not go out and wander around casually. Just having some tea and snacks was enough.
Li Yu was entertaining himself, but he didn't know that the bronze mirror projected his every move into another room adjacent to this room.
In that room, Prince Jing was separated from him by a thin wall, staring at him intently.
After seeing a human turn into a fish, King Jing also wanted to see a fish turn into a human. Knowing that Xiaoyu would never change, he thought of a way to pretend to leave, but he found that once his eyes were glued to Xiaoyu, he could never leave...
Every time Xiaoyu changed his clothes, King Jing would try very hard to lower his head.
He wanted to take a look, but he felt it was not appropriate.
