The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration]Chapter 33

Wang Xi wasn’t even very clear if an imperial physician can treat Master Xiao Yu’s illness. Yet he couldn’t go against Jing-wang’s wishes either. However, Wang-gonggong was truly worthy of being called Jing-wang’s close servant. After making some inquiries, he invited an imperial physician who also raised fishes at home, and considered his task completed.

Wang-gonggong brought the imperial physician into the Jing Estate. This imperial physician Xu has seen many bizarre and strange illnesses before. After learning that Jing-wang summoned him to look at his pet fish, the physician’s expression and countenance didn’t change at all. xWmBgy

In order to make it convenient for imperial physician Xu to do his examination, Jing-wang specially placed the fish in a slightly shallow flower shaped teacup. Just now, Li Yu’s fish instincts took over and he flailed around a bit, causing him to lose two more fish scales. Now, he no longer dared to randomly move around anymore. He used his large wet eyes to look pitifully at imperial physician Xu, who was before him. This imperial physician should be able to treat fish and ensure that fish doesn’t become a bald fish right?

Jing-wang, whose line of sight never left the fish: “……..”

Jing-wang gave a light cough and turned the teacup, as well as the fish, in a different direction, moving the fish’s head towards himself to let the imperial physician look at the fish’s back. The fish’s back also had some areas where scales had fallen.

Imperial physician Xu carefully examined the fish, and then looked at the teacup. He had a rough idea and stepped forward to say: “Your highness, Jing-wang, according to what this official knows, many fish won’t change scales. Fish scales should grow with the fish. For a fish to lose scales, there should be only two reasons. It’s either caused by outer trauma or because of a terminal illness.” dBOtMP

The little carp heard ‘terminal illness’ and gave a slight tremble.

Since he raised the fish himself, Jing-wang was pretty responsible. He immediately turned to look at Wang Xi. Wang Xi said: “If you need any medicinal products, just let his highness know. If Jing Estate does not have it, he will find a way to get it.”

Wang Xi gave Jing-wang an uncertain look. Jing-wang nodded. Wang Xi continued to instruct: “Remember not to injure Master Xiao Yu at all costs.”

Imperial physician Xu smiled faintly: “This official understands. However, if I may speak frankly, your highness, your fish looks very healthy. It shouldn’t be a terminal illness. Perhaps it accidentally bumped into something while swimming? After a few days of recuperating, it should get better.”

OAa30P

Li Yu: ???

This was really a beautiful mistake. Jing-wang placed the fish inside a teacup to be examined. But it ended up causing imperial physician Xu to believe that the fish normally lived here and couldn’t move around fully; bumping into the edges was unavoidable. What the imperial physician Xu raised at home was a school of koi. Often they would ram into each other while fighting for food so losing scales was pretty usual. Therefore, Imperial physician Xu thought the same here.

However, Li Yu himself didn’t feel like it was quite right. The fish tank that Jing-wang prepared for him was large enough for him to swim in. He very rarely bumped into stuff. If it was because he jumped around a lot and lost scales because of the impact, he should only lose scales in certain areas. Yet right now, he was losing scales all over, and losing them no matter what he was doing. He couldn’t even blow bubbles. Li Yu was even too afraid to move now. Luckily, they didn’t fall in large quantities or his life as a fish would really be too tragic.

The imperial physician Xu’s words shouldn’t be the real reason why he was losing scales. Li Yu was a little disappointed. However, as long as it wasn’t an illness, this was good news. Li Yu comforted himself. Maybe a transmigrated fish’s body constitution was different from normal fish. Even a huge dog like Gale lost fur all over the place. It should be normal for him to lose scales as well, right? gJ095M

But would his tyrant master scorn him because of this?

Probably not. He was only a grey dirty looking food ingredient carp anyways. He didn’t count on beauty to become favored in the first place. It was by acting cute. Was he no longer cute just because he lost some scales?

Li Yu spent some time comforting himself, practically comforting himself into the proverbial corner.

Jing-wang, however, seemed to have taken imperial physician Xu’s words into consideration. The imperial physician was saying that Xiao Yu lost scales because the place it lived in was too cramped and small. Jing-wang knew that Xiao Yu was actually a carp demon. Using a normal fish tank to raise Xiao Yu was indeed not adequate. Fz 6AW

Sending off imperial physician Xu, Jing-wang made a decision practically without hesitation.

He ordered Wang Xi to come close. This time the order was somewhat complicated. Jing-wang wrote it down. Reading from the side, Wang Xi’s eyebrows almost flew off.

By the time Jing-wang finished writing, Wang Xi was practically kneeling. He said with a trembling voice: “Your highness, this……”

Can this really be possible?? BhXsCr

Wang Xi only guessed that Jing-wang planned to change a fish tank for Master Xiao Yu. But he never imagined it’d be this kind of fish tank!

Jing-wang finished writing and blew on the ink, eyes saying: Hurry up and go do it.

Wang Xi followed Jing-wang for many years. He knew well enough that once his master made a decision, it won’t be shaken even by thunder. Wang-gonggong didn’t say anymore and scrambled out.

Li Yu, who was oblivious to what Jing-wang did: ??? R6irgw

After making the arrangements, Jing-wang reflexively wanted to pet this unfortunate fish’s back. However, he immediately remembered that the fish was losing scales. If he touched it, it might lose even more scales. He needed to follow imperial physician Xu’s words and let the fish recuperate for a while first. And plus, Xiao Yu was actually a carp demon……

Jing-wang, who didn’t even blink when deciding to make a new fish tank for Xiao Yu, was now actually hesitating. When he remembered that the fish he always touched was actually a young man, Jing-wang just felt somewhat unable to do it.

The little carp saw him extend his fingers over and swam over speedily, waiting for his touch. Yet right before that happened, Jing-wang withdrew his hand again.

Li Yu: “……” J5NZr3

No way. Was Jing-wang really scorning him right now?

The little carp who longed for a sense of security immediately used the tip of his tail to wrap around Jing-wang’s fingers.

Normally, Jing-wang loved this kind of contact very much. But now, his thoughts were starting to run wild. A fish’s tail…… was which part of a carp demon’s body again?

The fish head was definitely equivalent to the human face. Then the tail, he guessed, should be the feet. fMexJb

A pair of delicate ankles quickly flashed across Jing-wang’s mind. Jing-wang: “…….”

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

Jing-wang abruptly stood up, making the little carp jump in fright. The little carp evaded to the side instantly and looked at him in confusion.

Li Yu: This again. What exactly does this mean?

Although Jing-wang ordered people to make the new fish tank urgently, regardless of the rush, it still needed a few days before it could be built. Jing-wang can only temporarily place Xiao Yu back into the crystal fish tank. The food these days was all the best, but Li Yu still continued to lose scales. He didn’t even dare to move too much.

If he couldn’t move, how could he do missions? Li Yu felt very frustrated.

Just when the little carp thought he was really going to become a bald fish, a series of imperial edicts came from Ganqing palace. The Emperor stripped all of the 2nd Prince’s official positions and bestowed him the title of Marquis An. The Marquis An wasn’t even given another estate and still remained in solitary confinement in the old 2nd Prince’s Estate. Qiu-Guifei was decreased in rank. Because her previous solitary confinement was never resolved, she continued to be imprisoned. The Emperor gave punishments and rewards as well. On ChengEn Palace Estate’s side, ChengEn Gong’s rank as Duke was raised by one. Ye QingHuan’s official position was raised. The Emperor granted the ChengEn Palace Estate and the King of JinJue the power to select the marriage date themselves and he built a Princess Estate inside the imperial city for the JinJue Princess. X1 dpZ

To be able to do the above, it was evident that the Emperor was resolute in his decisions.

Ever since the 2nd Prince attempted to frame Ye QingHuan, the Emperor has been deliberating about how to punish him. When Qiu-Guifei received the news of this in Zhongcui Palace, she knelt outside of Ganqing Palace refusing to get up. In the end, she had to be carried back by servants. The Emperor didn’t actually see Qiu-Guifei. Instead, he secretly went to Changchun Palace by himself and sat facing the memorial tablet of Empress Xiao Hui for a while.

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

It was already investigated that the female corpse in YanYu Pavilion was an imperial death row prisoner who had died of illness for many days. The Emperor knew now that the 2nd Prince had been obviously counterattacked by Ye-shizi here. However, Ye-shizi did this in self-defense. Ultimately, it was the 2nd Prince who made the stupid mistake first. If the 2nd Prince succeeded, how were they supposed to explain everything to the King of JinJue? How come the 2nd Prince never considered the bigger picture here, or was the bigger picture something that could be sacrificed in the 2nd Prince’s eyes?

The Emperor didn’t actually oppose the Princes scheming against each other, but not like what the 2nd Prince did– wielding the fact that he was the future crown prince to strike at anyone and everyone recklessly. Even if this kind of person obtained the throne in the future, they won’t be supported by the masses. gPXTIN

This candidate that he once considered, didn’t suit the position of Emperor. His previous favor toward the 2nd Prince not only inflated Qiu-Guifei’s ego, it also inflated the 2nd Prince’s ego. But now it looks like they couldn’t even handle this little favor, what’s the point of considering the future?

It was very fortunate that he only mentioned this thought towards a very small number of people, and didn’t actually officially announce a crown prince. For that scheme to fail and not cause trouble, this was the best ending. If he couldn’t give the 2nd Prince the punishment he deserved, the Emperor would chill ChengEn Palace Estate’s heart, and chill Jing-wang’s heart. Even more so, he’d chill Empress Xiao Hui’s heart.

After the Emperor thought it through, he sent out the edicts, not allowing any room for objection. These edicts pretty much caused a commotion in the front court and back harem at the same time.

This dynasty had an unwritten rule. Princes who were prematurely given a title basically had no chance to obtain the throne. For example Jing-wang. Everyone knew that Jing-wang’s title of Wang was a method of comfort that the Emperor gave to the son of his first wife. However, the 2nd Prince’s situation wasn’t the same as Jing-wang. The 2nd prince wasn’t given the title of Wang, and only got a Marquis. This was even a hasty edict from the Emperor that was passed without any discussion with the Ministry of Rites. It was clear to see that the 2nd Prince completely lost the Emperor’s favor. yDOISw

The former Qiu-Guifei– now concubine Qiu, received her imperial edict and immediately fainted on the spot. All of the other concubines that had birthed Princes all felt flames of hope burning, especially the 3rd Prince’s birth mother, Concubine Qian. If the 2nd Prince was no longer capable, the next in line should be her 3rd Prince. Meanwhile, of the many officials who originally followed the 2nd prince and thought that a life of glory and splendor were soon to be theirs, very few remained willing to continue backing the 2nd Prince. Most of them secretly searched for new paths out.

In comparison to the Imperial palace, where some people were happy and some were worried, the ChengEn Palace Estate outside was decorated with festive lanterns and auspicious banners, full of joy and peace. Ye QingHuan and the JinJue Princess exchanged birth cards. ChengEn Gong and the King of JinJue already picked out a date for these two people. On Jing Estate’s side, although the impartial edict didn’t mention Jing-wang, actually Jing-wang was also rewarded. The Emperor ordered head manager Luo to bring Jing-wang a suet jade box and permitted Jing-wang to fill it with fish food. During the national banquet, the Emperor saw that Jing-wang was using a bamboo box and felt bad for him.

The Emperor rewarded Jing-wang, but the one who ended up extremely happy was Li Yu. The Emperor seemed to have custom made this new box for fish food because the surface was carved with fish shapes. Li Yu heard that suet jade was very expensive. To use it to make a box to hold fish food, Li Yu felt like his own social status had doubled……

Along with the imperial edicts, what made Li Yu even happier was the fact that the “Impenetrable fortress” branch mission updated. FAb0uZ

Seeing these edicts that the Emperor passed down which contained rewards and punishment, Li Yu suddenly realized that the real conclusion to this branch mission was ‘Good will be rewarded and evil will be punished.”

Although he lost scales, he still wanted to obtain his mission rewards. Li Yu entered the System to get the reward. Back then, he didn’t really pay attention to what kind of rewards this branch mission had. After hearing the shitty system give a presentation, Li Yu’s jaw almost dropped to the floor.

So the reward of “Impenetrable Fortress” was an entire new set of fish scales. There were a total of five colors he could choose from: gold, red, green, silver, and purple.

Li Yu abruptly recalled his recent scale loss. Was it because of this mission’s reward that caused him to lose scales? kfAdFV

“Host, you’re overthinking it.” The system reminded him promptly: “The reason you always lose scales is because normal fish scales can no longer support the strength of your activities.”

Li Yu: “……”

The shitty system didn’t hold back at all. This just meant he moved around too much so the fish scales couldn’t endure it, But clearly, he didn’t move that much…… Li Yu (who often jumped up and down around Jing-wang’s room and didn’t even reflect on his actions) thought.

The System explained that the quality of the new fish scales were even better. After changing into them, they won’t fall anymore. Li Yu was actually pretty happy to receive this kind of reward. The only problem was that the new fish scales looked too different from his original scales. These new shiny colors should only belong to koi, yet he was about to use them. Did this represent that he could really turn into a koi? BAgVTj

He..he…he was just a little curious. He definitely planned to change into a human in the end!

The system only said: “Host, you don’t need to worry.”

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Li Yu immediately became on guard. Normally whenever the shitty system told him not to worry, he definitely end up being screwed over. Li Yu was already used to being screwed over. And this was all thanks to the fact that his tyrant master, who recently started to treat him a little distantly, started to suspect him.

However, since the previous scales kept dropping, the new fish scales arrived just in time to be put to use. He needed to change them. HvWxyN

System: “Please select a color, Host, and confirm your reward.”

These bright colors– were all pretty much the same anyways, right?

Li Yu buried his conscience and picked the gold color which was most fitting for a koi.

After confirming, he was forcibly shoved out of the system. 7uTDNi

Li Yu: “……”

When Li Yu returned to reality, he immediately looked at himself. He saw his body was still the usual dirty grey color. Did the reward not go into effect yet?

Li Yu raised his tail. With this movement, a row of fish scales fell off his tail area. Distressed, Li Yu thought: now it’s dropping in rows. Don’t tell me, the tail will be the first to go bald?

He glanced at his tail for a second and was unexpectedly stunned. c3FVe1

He saw his originally blackish grey fishtail now reveal a smear of gold.

When Wang Xi brought people over to help Li Yu change water, Li Yu was currently chasing his tail in circles. Suddenly, he heard Wang-gonggong breathing rapidly.

“Your highness, your highness, come look here quickly!” Wang-gonggong yelled in a pleasantly surprised voice.

Hearing the noise, Jing-wang rushed over in a few strides. Xiao Yu raised his black fishtail that carried gold and vigorously swam around back and forth. z16CvN

“Your highness, this old servant has only seen Koi carry gold color before……”

Wang Xi normally felt that Master Xiao Yu was smart, not like a normal fish. What if Master Xiao Yu was actually a koi? Although its shape didn’t seem very like it.

Jing-wang also has never seen this kind of scene before. He carefully looked at Xiao Yu’s tail. New fish scales were growing in place of the old. Some of the new scales were gold.

Jing-wang was well aware that Xiao Yu was a carp demon. Since it can change into a human, then changing into a koi was not anything special. Koi was also fish anyways. Jing-wang immediately accepted this and calmly ordered Wang Xi to serve the fish carefully. gcFWTN

Jing-wang wasn’t suspicious at all. Li Yu was surprised as well as happy. Was this System’s so-called “no need to worry”?

It was rare for the shitty system to do such a good thing. In this way, the new scales continued growing. Imperial physician Xu said most fish don’t usually change scales but those words weren’t too absolute. Li Yu can be the type of fish that did.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Li Yu’s attitude towards more scales falling has already completely changed. This should be his old scales being washed out for the new scales to grow. He really looked forward to his new appearance after changing all of his fish scales.

Another day passed, the entire fish already looked completely new. Although his entire body was still pitch black, his stomach and tail were mixed with large areas of gold scales. Looks like System’s choice was to add color to the original base, not turning his entire body gold like Li Yu had thought. But black and gold was still pretty impressive. 2HiWko

Don’t forget, after the main mission ‘The Tyrant’s Guppy Pet Fish’ completed, there’s still a “Become a Koi” branch mission waiting for him. Who knows. Maybe he’ll be able to change once more.

Doing his best to march towards the direction of a Koi, the little carp hid under its grass blanket laughing giddily.

Li Yu can be counted as changing into a whole new look. Since Jing-wang already accepted it, the people that served in the room didn’t dare to discuss carelessly. As for the other people in the Jing Estate, Li Yu really wasn’t worried. It’s only in the inconspicuous areas of his stomach and tail that had changed to gold. Normal people were usually far away from him and hadn’t even seen his original appearance before.

What Li Yu didn’t know was that after Jing-wang saw his different colored tail, he ordered Wang Xi to spread an unified fact saying that Xiao Yu has always been the descendent of Koi. He also forbade servants from gossiping randomly. Just like this, he was able to cover everything up. e4OvW9

Since Li Yu finished the branch mission, he started to think about the main mission again. All of his fish scales have been exchanged. He no longer lost scales. Yet the tyrant master still treated him somewhat distantly. This distance wasn’t alienation however. He can feel that his master still favored him a lot. Jing-wang would still touch his head, watch him swim, and often look at him silently. It’s just that Jing-wang was no longer willing to stroke him. But clearly he has become more impressive looking.

Shouldn’t an impressive looking fish be rubbed!

Yesterday, the ChengEn Palace Estate sent some books over for some inexplicable reason. Jing-wang seemed to be extremely interested in these books and buried himself in the room, reading the books and even less likely to stroke him. Li Yu thought, how can he allow this. If Jing-wang refused to pet fish, how can fish dare to do the task……

The little carp bounced and leaped out of the crystal fish tank. Ever since changing his scales, it was even easier to use his fish tail. He lightly jumped a few times and hopped into a flower shaped teacup on Jing-wang’s table. Instantly, a few drops of water splashed up and got the book placed on the table wet. AeJcGP

Li Yu: “……”

Ahhhhhhh he didn’t mean it!

Here Li Yu finally remembered, when Jing-wang read books together with him before, Wang-gonggong would first place a layer of water absorbent cloth on the table. Jing-wang would also purposely put the teacup further away from the book. However, this time fish ran out by itself. There was no protection at all. Therefore, Jing-wang’s book ended up getting wet.

Li Yu was just getting a headache over how to salvage the situation; Jing-wang already noiselessly pulled out a dry piece of cloth and quickly wiped dry the water droplets on the book. His pitch-black eyes flitted to the little carp splashing in the teacup. vhSlbg

Li Yu immediately stopped flailing. Yet Jing-wang also didn’t drive him away, thinking Xiao Yu might want to read the book together with him. Jing-wang thought it would be too obvious to move the teacup closer, therefore, he inconspicuously moved the book towards the fish’s direction instead.

The little carp carefully raised its head. Jing-wang was so focused. What kind of book was he reading?

The tyrant master often loved reading military books and travel notes. Last time, the book that fish fell asleep reading was a military book.

The little carp cleverly glanced at the title on the outside of the book. This time the book was– Memories of the White Snake. jPICQG

Li Yu: “……”

Li Yu remembered that in his original world there was something called “Legend of the White Snake.” What the heck is Memories of the White Snake?

Read more BL at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Li Yu curiously started reading this book. It was more or less about a white snake demon falling for a scholar who was passing by. She took on human form and they became wife and husband.

Li Yu presumed this was a mythological story. When he started reading it, the white snake and the scholar got married. The white snake revealed her identity as a snake demon and said to the scholar in a gentle voice: “Husband, us demons need to absorb vital essence……” Q7tBxo

Li Yu: ???

Reading ancient books required some effort for Li Yu, but Jing-wang was able to read ten lines in a glance. Li Yu didn’t even manage to understand clearly how the white snake absorbed vital essence; the page was already flipped over in a hurry.

Now it was the second night. The white snake demon said to the scholar in a gentle voice again: “Husband, Us demons need to absorb it today as well.”

Li Yu: “……” HfigAl

Jing-wang flipped the page extremely quickly again. After flipping over a dozen pages like this, Li Yu guessed that the white snake demon had absorbed the scholar’s vital essence for several days already, yet he still didn’t manage to read anything.

Finally, there was only one more page in the book. A big monk appeared and reprimanded the white snake for violating the heavenly law, then captured the white snake in a gold alms bowl. The scholar was suddenly enlightened and also became a monk.

Li Yu: Wow, now this was really kind of like the Legend of the White Snake? But how come there was so much content about absorbing essence and dual cultivation? Why were there so few other plots?

Jing-wang closed the book. Not knowing if it was his misconception, but Li Yu felt that the tips of his tyrant master’s ears looked a bit red. bUpwdP

Jing-wang might have felt the ending of this book was not good so he switched to a different one. Li Yu glanced at the title again. This time, it was “A Fox Demon’s Chronicles.” More or less, it was also about a fox demon who fell for a scholar and ran into the scholar’s room in the middle of the night, begging to dual cultivate.

The fox demon was even more impressive than the white snake demon. There was no second night. Just the first night was a total of twenty pages. Jing-wang flipped continuously 20 times. Li Yu secretly counted.

He finally realized what kind of books they were after a while. They should be ancient romance novels. Li Yu laughed. So Jing-wang actually read this too! No wonder he flipped through them so quickly. Was his tyrant master embarrassed?

But this really wasn’t anything. So what if he read it? Before Li Yu transmigrated into a fish, he just turned 18. Who hasn’t read some little yellow books like thieves? Jing-wang was a 20-some years old young man. In ancient times, people already had kids old enough to run around in their courtyard at this age. So what if he read a little sex filled books? jDRo6K

Li Yu did his best to lean closer. Master, he also wants to see a demon and the scholar doing the unspeakable!

Jing-wang just closed this book when he saw the peering and peeking carp demon trying to dive head first into the book. Jing-wang couldn’t help but laugh. He gave the little carp a light flick on the head.

With a splash, the little carp fell over into the teacup.

In the middle of the night, Li Yu wanted to take advantage of the moonless and windy night to secretly do the main mission again. b6Qshl

There was only a tiny bit left of the main mission ‘The Tyrant’s Guppy Pet Fish.’ He only needed to rub his fish mouth lightly against Jing-wang’s mouth. The last few days, he was either distracted by trying to save someone or because of his scales falling off. Now it was time to pick up the main mission again.

Inside the crystal fish tank, Li Yu quietly waited until Jing-wang went to sleep and then waited until there were no longer any more movements on the bed. Some more time passed before he finally jumped out of the fish tank. The little carp was already very familiar with the path to Jing-wang’s bed.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

He arrived next to Jing-wang’s pillow without a hitch in his plans. Recalling how he got Jing-wang’s book wet during the day, yet Jing-wang didn’t even blame him, Li Yu was confident that if he accidentally got the pillow wet, Jing-wang shouldn’t blame him either……

The little carp jumped onto the jade pillow and took aim at Jing-wang’s face, puckering his fish mouth forward. dtux2b

He definitely wouldn’t do something like this in human form; because it was too embarrassing! However, as a fish, he could be utterly shameless.

Jing-wang was originally somewhat drowsy. However, ever since finding out that Xiao Yu was a carp demon, whenever he slept at night, Jing-wang found it hard to ignore the fish inside the fish tank. He deliberately listened to the fish’s movements. Especially in those days when Xiao Yu was losing scales, he’d come over to look at the fish again after it fell asleep. Now that the scale problem was resolved, Jing-wang’s habit still remained, unable to be changed in such a short time.

When the little carp jumped on the bed, Jing-wang was just about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard the crisp slapping sound of the fish’s tail.

Jing-wang’s drowsiness completely disappeared. He subconsciously continued to listen. Was Xiao Yu about to do something? Would he turn into a human? V6pl W

The sound of fish tail came closer and closer. Jing-wang was certain that Xiao Yu was coming towards him. When the fish jumped onto the jade pillow, it actually brought along a small water droplet which landed on Jing-wang’s face. The little carp was too excited so it didn’t notice at all.

Jing-wang didn’t move at all. In the last few days, he’s been secretly observing the carp demon, but also ended up empty-handed. If he ‘woke up’ at this time, Xiao Yu would inevitably feel awkward. Perhaps if he continued to feign sleep, he could understand this fish’s intentions.

He felt the moisture the other carried coming closer and closer……

Chu. yXbDla

A pointy thing speedily touched his lips. Jing-wang’s breathing instantly halted for a moment. All of the sudden, he realized… what it was.

The stories that he read during the day about the demons and the scholars, especially those segments of words that he read super fast, completely turned into all sorts of vivid and detailed scenes which poured into his head continuously.

The white snake demon and the scholar, the fox demon and scholar, all turned into this irksome carp demon and himself–

The room wasn’t particularly hot, but Jing-wang found himself covered in a thin layer of sweat, stiff all over, heart scalding hot. 4WNehV

He also didn’t know why he became like this, but he laid half helpless, half in anticipation, as he waited for the carp demon to advance one step further. However, what happened next… was that this carp demon only happily and cheerfully turned around and jumped back into the fish tank.

Jing-wang: ???

Was absorbing vital essence for a carp demon…this easy to complete?

Man, this author really likes names that are similar sounding huh? Before it was aunty Xu, now it’s imperial physician Xu. Not the same word tho (I think? I can’t be bothered to check lmao)

  1. I thought those books would be about evil demons making humans fall for them then killing them, but it turned out to be some good ole romance novel! XD

  2. Jing-wang right now probably: It’s ok to read together, but it’s a bit much to read *** together…

    Jing-wang later probably: Baby why don’t we read more (so you can learn what you’re supposed to be doing with me)

  3. OH MY GOSH I WAS RIGHT HAHAHAHAHA

    Oh my gosh this two are so cute I can’t even hahahahaha I was laughing so loud at end I think my neighbors are now wondering what is happening to me.

    Ahhh! I am officially so hooked with this story. Thank you very much for translating this chapter!

  4. I’m sure nobody cares, but the fact that they all know what a koi fish is has been killing me 😭 koi fish were bred in the 1800s in japan (even though the carp were domesticated in China). It would be more realistic if he truly became a goldfish! Just fun carp facts

    • Actually, koi fish originated from china during around the 4th century. Koi fish is just ornamental carp, and many species of it were domesticated in china. Idk where you got your info from?

  5. Xaio-Yu: Nyahahaha 😈 i made it!

    Little tyrant: disappointed just that? Not going to do this PAPAPA and that PAPAPA?!

  6. bwahahahaha hey, xiao yu!! you can’t just leave him there, your master was expecting more!!! 😂😂
