Because Li Yu disguised himself as a carp spirit, when he told King Jing everything, he explained the mission as a tribulation.

Basically, he needed to choose a time to go through a tribulation, during which he would be half human and half fish for three days, and he would need King Jing's care and protection.

King Jing held his hand tightly and listened quietly.

Li Yu quickly recounted the mission, and King Jing frowned and thought deeply from time to time, but he held his hand and never let go.

Li Yu was reluctant to put too much pressure on the other party, so he took the initiative to say: "It's not that we have to cross right away, we can take our time, first choose a place where no one will disturb us... But by then I will be in a very unpresentable state and it will be inconvenient for me to move. Your Highness, please prepare more food and clean water for me, and don't let outsiders see me, that should be enough."

Although the mission name is "Protect the pet fish", he has become neither human nor fish, so he must stay in the mansion, there will be no danger, so this mission is relatively easier.

King Jing thought much more complicated than him, took a pen and paper and wrote: Wait for me for a few days, I will protect you.

Li Yu repeated these words, his chest was hot: "Your Highness, don't you ask what I will become?"

King Jing held his hand and smiled and wrote: No matter what, you are you.

"Well... Your Highness, please don't laugh at me then." Li Yu pretended to be relaxed.

When people are in love, they generally want to keep their best side in front of their lovers. Li Yu felt the same way. He had just gotten married. Although he was not willing to sacrifice his country for the city, he was still a handsome young man with delicate features. He subconsciously did not want King Jing to see him in this state of neither human nor fish.

If it was a human body with a fish tail, it would be fine. But if it was a fish body with human legs, it would really be like a monster. I thought it was embarrassing enough to turn into a fish in front of King Jing, and the system wanted me to be neither human nor fish. It was really tricky again and again.

But if I want to complete this step of the main storyline and completely return to being a human, no matter how unwilling I am, there is no other way. The person who executes this step must be King Jing, and I can't get around it by just lying.

Even though King Jing had always been good to him, Li Yu was inevitably uneasy, but King Jing's simple words dispelled his inner anxiety. He was unable to control his emotions for a moment and turned around abruptly.

Don't get me wrong, you cry when you are sad. He was just moved by the old man and his throat was not feeling well.

Thinking about how much King Jing had cared for him, he should trust King Jing. Maybe the mermaid would be really scared and King Jing would be surprised, but he would definitely not be disappointed.

Li Yu was emotionally excited, and King Jing mistakenly thought that he was afraid of difficulties in his tribulation, so he continued to write, don't worry, I won't let you wait too long.

Li Yu curled the corners of his lips and nodded vigorously.

Since he was with this person and got married, he has always been relieved.

After this exchange, King Jing knew that Li Yu was going to "cross the tribulation", so he made a lot of arrangements. The emperor has been mentioning several children in his memorials recently, although it was just a few words. King Jing guessed that the six of them would not stay in the western frontier for too long, but the children were still young, and even if the emperor was interested, King Jing did not intend to let them run around too much. At least he would try to wait until the four children were weaned...

Although Xiaoyu said that there was no rush to cross the tribulation and it could be done slowly, he felt that it was better to do it sooner rather than later. It was safer to choose the western frontier as the place to cross the tribulation. In the western frontier, he could make the decision, and even if he got pregnant and had a child, he could still get through it. If he went back to the imperial city, there would be many restrictions, and he was also worried that Xiaoyu's identity would be exposed.

In his opinion, the days after the wedding will be very good. He has already dealt with most of the important matters for the wedding, and no inconsiderate people will come to disturb him during the wedding leave. However,

he and Xiaoyu will go to survive the tribulation, so the children will have to be entrusted to Wang Xi. Ye Qinghuan has not left yet, so he can be caught in case of emergency.

King Jing is in Luofeng Town. In addition to the mansion that the mayor has cleaned up for King Jing to live in, Wang Xi later secretly bought some real estate in case of emergency. King Jing chose one of the houses, which is not far from the mansion and is connected to the mansion by a secret passage, which can be used to survive the tribulation. If something happens, he can return home in time.

After King Jing chose this house, he told Li Yu about his idea. Li Yu was surprised by King Jing's meticulousness. It was embarrassing to say that he only thought about preparing water and food, but King Jing even thought about the place and children. He really didn't have to worry about anything. Li Yu didn't have to make any extra supplies. King Jing secretly

ordered people to clean up the house as soon as possible, and asked Aunt Xu to prepare a lot of Li Yu's favorite food, as well as dry grains and fish food. A full cart was loaded, not to mention staying for only three days, it was enough for thirty days.

As the person with the highest status in the West, King Jing did not need to reveal where he was taking the princess, but he had to explain to Wang Xi and Ye Qinghuan. King Jing meant to pretend to go hunting, but he rarely went to the hunting grounds in the imperial city, so using this as an excuse was too perfunctory. Li Yu thought he could help a little, and suddenly came up with the idea of ​​honeymoon.

"Your Highness, we have a honeymoon after getting married, which means that the newlyweds go out to play and relax."

Li Yu thought to himself that he was really at a loss. Why did the mission take three days? He honestly told King Jing that it would take three days, and they should spend a few more days together.

After he said it, King Jing believed it and told Ye Qinghuan and Wang Xi about it.

When Eunuch Wang learned that His Highness and the Princess wanted to be alone together, he was extremely happy. There were already four young masters and young masters in the mansion, and maybe there would be a few more young ladies when he returned this time.

Eunuch Wang happily agreed and put his knowledge into practice, wishing His Highness and the Princess a happy honeymoon.

Ye Qinghuan was not very willing to do so. The captured Ye Shizi said with a fierce face: "Why should I take care of your children while you are on your honeymoon?"

King Jing glanced at Wang Xi, and Wang Xi laughed: "Prince, His Highness said that he thinks highly of you by letting you take care of them."

"Bah!" Ye Qinghuan said, "I came here to drink the wedding wine, I am a guest, how can you let guests work? You have to let me go on the honeymoon anyway." King Jing

gave him a look of disdain. Xiaoyu said that the couple is on their honeymoon, and the one who tries to disturb the couple's honeymoon is the candle (bulb).

Whether Ye Qinghuan agrees or not is not important. King Jing set off with Li Yu on time, and the four children were handed over to Ye Qinghuan.

The fish cubs can neither speak nor move now, but they can hear. They have learned from conversations that their fathers have gone out and handed them over to Eunuch Wang and Uncle Ye to take care of them. The

fish cubs are very familiar with Eunuch Wang. When Eunuch Wang takes care of them, Dabao to Sibao are all very well behaved.

But Uncle Ye saw for the first time that the cubs were not very polite to strangers.

Ye Qinghuan is about to become a father. The fact that King Jing is not a good person does not prevent him from taking good care of the children. It's just that he has just seen three fat babies who look like King Jing when he was a child. He can hardly tell Dabao, Erbao and Sanbao apart. Erbao and Sanbao howl as soon as they meet, which makes his head hurt. Dabao has a stern face and a serious expression.

Ye Qinghuan was also beaten by the little fat man when he was a child. For a moment, he thought he saw the real little fat man and was frightened.

He touched his nose, thinking that he was thinking too much, and then he received the disgusted look from the child.

Ye Qinghuan:...What's the matter, I really want to beat him up!

However, Master Ye is an adult, and he can't attack a powerless baby who knows nothing, so he didn't beat him up in the end.

Ye Qinghuan picked up the second and third treasures, and rubbed the eldest treasure into his arms in an unskilled manner.

Thinking that this is also a kind of experience, after a while, his own child should be born.

Ye Qinghuan touched the heads of the three treasures and couldn't help smiling.

Oh, there is also a fourth treasure, who looks a bit like Li Yu, not as naughty as the other three treasures, and always smiles brightly when he sees him.

"Fourth treasure, call uncle!"

Ye Qinghuan got excited and pinched the little tender face of the fourth treasure, a typical bully of the weak and afraid of the strong.

Sibao was still smiling, and suddenly he bit Ye Shizi's hand with a "wow". Although he had no teeth, his empty gums left two bars on his hand.

Ye Shizi screamed like a ghost.

Li Yu and King Jing soon arrived at the secret house. King Jing soon sent everyone else away, leaving only them.

They had brought enough food. King Jing ordered people to dig a pond in the yard, filled it with clean water, and brought the fish tank over.

"Your Highness, I... am going to start." Li Yu greeted.

King Jing held him, took out a golden bag from his sleeve, and handed it to Li Yu.

"What is this?" Li Yu asked. King Jing always had many gifts for him.

At King Jing's eye signal, Li Yu opened the golden bag.

There was an old amulet and a note in the brocade bag.

The note described the origin of the amulet. It was originally obtained by Empress Xiaohui for her unborn child before King Jing was born. It was actually a relic of the late queen. King Jing had kept it and never worn it. Before

coming to the Western Frontier, he specially ordered someone to take the amulet to find Zen Master Liaoran and ask Liaoran to consecrate it for this moment.

When a demon goes through a catastrophe, there are usually dangers. King Jing firmly believes that this amulet can protect Li Yu's life.

"Your Highness, thank you..."

Li Yu sniffed and hung the amulet around his neck with mixed feelings. He knew very well that he was not really going through a tribulation. The amulet was just a piece of paper at best. Even if something happened, it would not work. He did not expect that in order to cover up his lie, King Jing gave all his heart and trust to him, which were all condensed in this amulet. Even though

he had no choice, he felt guilty at the moment.

It was time to start. King Jing tapped his chin at him.

"Your Highness, can you turn around first?"

Li Yu made his last request. He did not know what he would become. He had to give King Jing a buffer, and also give himself a buffer.

King Jing was very considerate of him. As soon as he said that, he turned around obediently.

Li Yu gritted his teeth and quickly entered the system. When the system confirmed whether to start the mission, he chose yes without hesitation.

A thought flashed through his mind. The system said that the mermaid and the merman would appear in turn. He didn't know whether he would become a mermaid or a merman first?

...

Li Yu came back to his senses and felt a chill all over his body. His face was a little itchy. He lowered his head and found that his legs and feet were still there.

Li Yu thought he hadn't changed yet, but he couldn't speak when he opened his mouth. When he looked again, his hands had turned into short fins. He suddenly realized that the mission had begun.

Unlike his fish form, the fish form is a complete fish, and its actual size is much smaller than that of a human. But at the moment, his legs and feet are still human, which means that his human body shape has not changed, but his hands are...

ah ah ah, this is the merman form!

The lower body is human, and the upper body is...!!!

Li Yu tried to cover his face, but his fins were too short, and he soon found it difficult to breathe. It seemed that even though he was half human and half fish, the fish half couldn't leave the water.

Li Yu didn't dare to look at himself, let alone ask King Jing to turn around. He quickly hooked a piece of cloth beside him with his feet and tried his best to cover his upper body.

Li Yu, holding the cloth, ran into the yard and plunged into the water.

Even if he had confidence in King Jing, he didn't want to...

sob, sob, sob, he didn't dare to look at himself, let alone let King Jing see!

King Jing heard a "plop" and Li Yu had jumped into the water.

What happened?

King Jing didn't know what Li Yu had become, and stood by the pond for a while.

The pool of this house is not as deep as the one in the original Prince Jing's mansion. Prince Jing can vaguely see Li Yu's figure on the shore.

He also found that Xiaoyu did not seem to have completely transformed into a fish.

In view of the fact that the other party had a history of hiding under the water and refusing to come out, and ended up getting cold, Prince Jing was afraid that he would do the same this time, so he planned to go into

the water soon. Just as he was about to take off his outer robe, the water rippled and the person under the water had swam out of the water.

Xiaoyu? Prince Jing was very worried.

At this moment, Li Yu said nothing, his upper body and face were tightly wrapped in a cloth towel, and he stood in the water.

There were two holes in the cloth towel, and Li Yu looked at Prince Jing through the holes, sobbing, "Your Highness, don't come over!"

Neither of them could speak. Li Yu stared at Prince Jing nervously, and if Prince Jing approached, he would step back.

After a few times, King Jing knew that he was dodging.

King Jing thought about it, and stretched out a hand to pull Li Yu out of the water. Li Yu instinctively wanted to take it, but as soon as the fish fin was exposed a little, he remembered that he couldn't reach it, so he retracted it suddenly.

King Jing: "..."

King Jing had good eyesight and had already caught a glimpse of the hidden fish fin. He was stunned for a moment, and he could roughly guess why Xiaoyu covered his face and upper body.

...It was indeed a bit unexpected.

King Jing coughed lightly. Since Xiaoyu didn't let him get close, how could he comfort Xiaoyu?

King Jing scanned and found a bamboo pole.

Li Yu also saw it. He and King Jing had to connect eventually. Maybe the bamboo pole could be used to convey messages?

Li Yu waited expectantly, and then saw King Jing cut off half of his sleeve, tied it to the bamboo pole, and then slowly approached him with the bamboo pole.

Li Yu:?

The sleeves held by the bamboo poles fluttered gently over his head.

This action... Li Yu was startled.
