King Jing himself didn't know why he had such feelings for Xiaoyu. After all, he had only met the boy in the form of Xiaoyu a few times, and they had even fewer conversations. At first, he was just a little curious about the boy who repeatedly escaped from him, but he wasn't so concerned about him. It was after the boy saved him and he learned that the boy was actually Xiaoyu who accompanied him day and night that he couldn't help but care about the boy.
Because no matter whether it was a human or a fish, they were both the one he was willing to treat sincerely.
King Jing hid himself and secretly spied on Xiaoyu, gradually discovering many of Xiaoyu's secrets.
Xiaoyu is a foodie. He realized this from the peach blossom cake. He has been teasing Xiaoyu with delicious food these days. He watched Xiaoyu secretly change his form for a bite of food, but only once a day. No matter how much time he gave Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu would return to his original form after about an hour. Once he changed back, he would not change again no matter how delicious the food was. Xiaoyu himself seemed reluctant to leave. It seemed that it was not that the fish did not want to change, but that he could not change.
King Jing therefore deduced that it was most likely that this fish could only change once a day, and only for one hour at a time.
King Jing was very depressed after coming to this conclusion. The carp spirit could transform for the sake of stuttering, but never took the initiative to meet him. King Jing recalled the scene when he first met the human-shaped fish. It seemed that the fish was also going to the kitchen to eat. If his eyes had not been injured by thieves last time, the fish would definitely not transform to save him. After all, even the letter to Ye Qinghuan was sent through the male spirit.
King Jing suddenly realized that he might not be as good as a snack and a bowl of rice in the fish's eyes: "..."
However, this heartless fish had not yet realized that its true identity had been exposed, and was cleaning up seriously in order to hide it from him.
King Jing looked through the bronze mirror and saw the fish rearrange the snacks that had been messed up. The fruit peels and paper scraps were all broken into pieces and scattered in inconspicuous corners. The carp spirit was very smart and alert, both in its fish and human form. It never ate fresh fruits that were difficult to clean up, but mostly ate small snacks that it could stuff into its stomach.
The little fish was clearly trying to hide him, and now it was still staying by his side. If it found out that he knew about it, it might run away again. Thinking about the fish's methods, although there were always omissions, it was easy to be fooled if you were not careful. King Jing himself had been fooled around, and he felt sympathetic. He was actually glad that the little fish didn't remember anything after waking up from the alcohol. If he remembered anything, he would most likely not be able to find him.
After careful consideration, King Jing decided to suppress his desire to meet Xiaoyu and remain silent.
He and Xiaoyu needed an opportunity, and this opportunity should ensure that Xiaoyu would never leave, otherwise he could not make an impulsive attempt and scare Xiaoyu away.
In the book of words that Ye Qinghuan gave him, it was always mentioned that humans and demons have different paths. King Jing did not like this sentence. People are different. He was not a weak scholar, and Xiaoyu was also a fish that he had always kept by his side. He would not allow them to go their separate ways. It was
just that he knew very little about demons and carp spirits.
King Jing specially ordered people to collect some classics about spirits and cultivation.
He wanted to know more about the carp spirit, such as the barrel that Xiaoyu mentioned when he was drunk. He still didn't know what the barrel was. For example, King Jing didn't know whether the carp spirit had to go through the tribulation or not. Just reading the nonsense book given by Ye Qinghuan was far from enough.
Soon, his confidant found some ancient books that were said to be very useful for King Jing. King Jing decided to read them.
He was "very busy" these days, leaving early and returning late, and after returning, he buried his head in reading, which made his fish pet, who hadn't seen him for a long time and missed him a little, dissatisfied.
Li Yu swam back and forth in the crystal fish tank, with bad water in his heart. I wonder what book King Jing was reading this time? If it was a romantic book, he would read it too. The good things of the master should be shared, so how could the fish pet be left out?
After Li Yuyu grew bigger, the teacup prepared for him to jump in the room was also replaced with a larger size. He would always make a big splash when he jumped in.
As soon as he jumped out, King Jing noticed him. Seeing the carp spirit jumping over with a trail of water, he knew that Xiaoyu was interested. King Jing smiled secretly, quickly held the book, and pretended to be concentrating.
Li Yu quickly jumped onto the table. The petal-shaped teacup he often squatted in was also replaced with a whole lotus shape, which was more than twice as big as before. This lotus cup was carved by King Jing's craftsmen with red jade. It was colorful and lifelike in the sunlight. The little carp stayed in the lotus cup, as if it was on a red lotus. King Jing had noticed the fish's inexplicable obsession with green leaves, so the craftsmen had a circle of jade lotus leaves inlaid at the bottom of the lotus cup, which was very lifelike. The little carp liked it immediately.
Because it was not the first time they read books together, Li Yu was not afraid of strangers at all. He swam to the side of the teacup and stretched his head to look at the book that King Jing was flipping through. The book looked very old, and several pages were about to fall off. Li Yu thought that this book was probably older than King Jing, and he didn't know which thousand-year-old demon's story it was about.
The carp spirit poked its head out, and King Jing also noticed it. He simply picked up the lotus cup and the hairtail together and placed them in front of him, facing the book. In this way. The fish can see it easily.
And if this position is directly transformed, it will inevitably be trapped.
King Jing was looking forward to it uncontrollably, with a faint joy that was unknown to others, and started reading books with Yu again.
King Jing was straightforward this time, and Li Yu was also very happy, thinking that he could finally get a glimpse of the style of the ancient 18 forbidden books. However, after trying to read for a long time, Li Yu couldn't even understand a line of words. It was too difficult to understand.
The little carp reacted angrily: I was fooled! This is not a storybook at all, not even a military book or a travelogue. This is actually a book about cultivating immortals!
Didn't the system say that the male protagonist's halo would not be affected, and King Jing could still be the emperor? Why did King Jing read books about cultivating immortals? Could it be that King Jing, who was a good emperor, didn't want to be the male protagonist of a palace novel, and wanted to cultivate immortals? ?
This is too difficult, you know, he never reads immortality books!
Li Yu was a little anxious, and secretly glanced at King Jing, fearing that King Jing would really change his ambition to become an immortal. King Jing's face was solemn, and he read very seriously, unlike Li Yu who couldn't understand anything. Although King Jing was mute, he was talented, and he read immortality books very quickly, as if he had some understanding.
If he continued reading, the prince might go to heaven.
Li Yu secretly splashed a little water on the book. He had to quickly dispel King Jing's idea of becoming an immortal. Immortal cultivation is too hard, tiring, and there is no delicious food. If you are not careful, you may even die for it. Tyrant monarchs must not become immortals.
The ancient book that he bought with thousands of gold was splashed with water. King Jing glanced helplessly at the fish that was losing his temper. Was it because the fish, which had been a spirit for a long time, didn't want to read a book that was too superficial?
King Jing then changed to a more advanced book.
Li Yu was about to wag his tail proudly for defeating the immortal cultivation literature, but he found that King Jing quickly changed the book, and this time he was reading - Alchemy Collection? ?
Li Yu: You can't take elixirs casually, and you can't read books casually!
Li Yu fumbled and almost wet all of King Jing's ancient books.
King Jing had a dark face and showed the last book.
Li Yu took a look, it was a double cultivation book!
Double - double cultivation? ?
Li Yu's eyes widened. This was a real test for him. Even if he had never read a book about cultivating immortals, who didn't know the meaning of dual cultivation?
The edges and corners of this book were almost worn out. It must be very profound, but dual cultivation? ?
Little Liyu was in a dilemma. Finally, the fish leaned forward and said, "Oh, there is such a thing? Fish wants to read it too!
" King Jing's eyes changed slightly: Little Liyu really wanted to practice dual cultivation with him!
But why didn't he practice it yet?
...
"Your Highness." Wang Xi called softly outside the house.
Little Liyu rolled up the book into a wet roll. King Jing let go of his hand that was fighting with the fish for the book and shook the jade bell lightly.
When Wang Xi pushed the door open, Little Liyu had already slipped back into the lotus cup. Wang Xi didn't see anything.
