Meeting a pair of heavy black eyes, Li Yu jolted and attempted to climb up.
“Sorry, your highness. I accidentally stumbled!” Li Yu hastily explained in a small voice. Logically speaking, he didn’t react slowly. He shouldn’t have really squished Jing-wang. Apologizing was also hoping the other wouldn’t blame him.
However, Jing-wang wasn’t actually so petty. No matter human or fish, he’s already smoothed out things many times. Li Yu was actually very confident that Jing-wang wouldn’t get angry at him– however, Jing-wang also didn’t do anything to mean that he forgave Li Yu. He just kept staring at Li Yu with his ink-black eyes. After being stared at for a while, Li Yu instinctively felt things were not going well.
Flustered, Li Yu made to get up. However, the person beneath him responded even faster and pressed Li Yu down into his embrace with a hand.
Li Yu’s face pressed against Jing-wang’s chest. However, the other wasn’t satisfied with just this. His other hand also hooked around Li Yu’s waist, almost like he was afraid Li Yu would run away.
Li Yu: ???
The warm feeling around his waist felt too unfamiliar to Li Yu. With such close distance, Jing-wang continued to stare at him, giving him waves of goosebumps.
According to what Li Yu knew of the original novel and the interactions he had with Jing-wang as a fish and as a human, although he couldn’t be like Wang Xi and understand Jing-wang’s every move with just one glance, most of the time, Li Yu understood pretty well.
Except, in this kind of strange moment.
Li Yu asked with difficulty: “Your highness, what… what do you want to do?”
Your highness naturally wanted you.
Jing-wang held Li Yu in his arms and slowly tucked a fallen strand of hair that was in front of Li Yu’s forehead behind his ear. At the same time, he thought about how to let the person in his arms know his intentions. Unable to speak always caused some inconvenience. However, to give up this kind of good opportunity to fetch paper and brush really would kill the mood. The carp demon might not allow him to hold him again.
According to his observations, this fish hasn’t come to absorb his essence for a long time. Jing-wang strongly questioned if the other had gotten tired of absorbing him and was switching to someone else– for example the fatty that the carp demon thought about constantly. Jing-wang had ordered Wang Xi to investigate for a long time yet he still hadn’t been able to find who that person was.
Also inside this estate, everyone liked the carp demon. Jing-wang felt gratified, yet at the same time, he felt like his baobei was being coveted. This contradictory feeling made the tyrant extremely displeased.
Looks like merely bringing the carp demon into the Jing estate was not enough. He should place this fish under his own name.
The carp demon who came here for his sake was his. Jing-wang was incapable of tolerating others coveting him.
The carp demon still didn’t plan to tell him his demon identity. Jing-wang took the chance last time and privately asked Liao Kong plenty of things. Liao Kong solemnly stated: under this kind of circumstances, the demon most likely came to the mortal world for a heavenly tribulation. It’s best not to disturb his original plans or else it might cause the demon’s tribulation to fail and end up hurting him. Jing-wang understood. In order not to affect Xiao Yu, he decided that now was not the time to lay out the truth yet.
However, Jing-wang thought carefully, unable to expose Xiao Yu wasn’t actually anything important. If Xiao Yu didn’t want him to know, then he can continue to pretend that he didn’t know anything. However, this didn’t hinder him from making the human form Xiao Yu into his own.
Putting aside the demon identity, right now Xiao Yu was living in his estate as an esteemed guest. There was nothing wrong with him liking Xiao Yu. When the scholars in the stories didn’t know anything, didn’t they still live a fine and ordinary life with their demon?
He has never cared about anyone like this his entire life. Finally he managed to encounter the one. From what he has been taught since he was a child was that if he liked anyone, then he should immediately make them his. The carp demon took forever to come absorb his essence. If he kept on waiting like this, Jing-wang only felt waves of danger. Although he has already started to study cultivation books to the best of his abilities, he still didn’t understand a lot of things about cultivation. He didn’t know why Xiao Yu wouldn’t absorb his essence. The longevity of human life was very limited. Who knew how long he still needed to wait. Why not just pierce through this window paper himself.

Jing-wang was drunk, but he wasn’t. He felt like he seemed to be eating Jing-wang’s tofu. How can a pure and innocent boy do this kind of thing?
Li Yu extremely urgently wanted to get off of Jing-wang. From what he calculated, his transformation duration was almost up as well.
Jing-wang’s hand, which was helping Li Yu fix his hair, paused. However, he didn’t seem to plan to let the youth go. On the contrary, he changed target to caress the youth’s plump lips. This was planning to not let this fish go.
Li Yu: ???
Li Yu felt very awkward being teased by the “drunkard” Jing-wang. When he was a fish, he had bitten Jing-wang several times before. Now that he was being held down and unable to move, he ended up opening his mouth and biting down on Jing-wang’s finger, wanting to hurt this drunkard slightly so he could wake up a little!
However, things turned out contrary to how he imagined. With this bite of his, Jing-wang’s expression completely changed. No longer hesitating, Jing-wang shook open the blanket and wrapped it around Xiao Yu to stop the fish from escaping.
Oh fck, what was he trying to do?
Li Yu who was suddenly wrapped up and had his entire world turn dark: !!!
Not waiting for him to protest, something warm and soft covered over his lips, first touching him probingly. He heard the sound of the other person’s satisfied sighs coming from his throat. Something soft pressed close again and firmly caressed his lips.
Trapped inside the pitch black blanket, Li Yu couldn’t hear anything and also couldn’t see anything. His scalp felt like it was about to explode. Although he wasn’t very old, it wasn’t like he didn’t know anything about sexual affairs. The feeling on his lips– he was clearly getting kissed!
Just who was kissing him, there’s no need to say. Bastard, how could you treat him like this. Was this mistaking him for– for some kind of concubine??
Fuming with rage, Li Yu felt embarrassed and angry. However, he was wrapped up in the blankets and the other’s strength was extremely strong. For a second, he couldn’t get free. The more he struggled, the more passionate the other became. Li Yu almost couldn’t breathe. His body felt like it was being electrocuted, numb and soft.
Letting out some muffled yells, Li Yu pounded on this person. However, it only made the other kiss him even deeper. Li Yu felt like if it continued like this, he’d suffocate to death. When the other attempted to pry open his tightly closed teeth, Li Yu hesitated for a second and pretended to give up resistance, allowing the other to invade. Lightly inciting him, Li Yu bit down hard.
He bit too hastily and too viciously. Immediately, he tasted blood. Afraid that Jing-wang still won’t let go of him, Li Yu finally managed to get a leg free. Without thinking much, he immediately kneed upwards.
Feeling the pain, Jing-wang let him go. Li Yu swiftly pushed aside the blanket and jumped off the bed.
Just now in the struggle, his white clothes were tousled. Li Yu felt both indignant and scared, stating angrily in a loud voice: “You got the wrong person. I’m not your concubine!”
Raising his head, he saw Jing-wang covering his mouth with furrowed brows. Like a spark created by fire rocks, Li Yu understood. This wasn’t the look of a drunkard at all!
“So you’re not drunk!” Li Yu suddenly realized.
Jing-wang wasn’t drunk at all. This meant that the other didn’t mistake him for someone else. Instead, Jing-wang had purposely wanted to bully him and treat him frivolously.
What a bastard! Was this the real face of the tyrant who’s been treating him very well all this time!
In a daze, Li Yu felt humiliated, angry, and disappointed. It’s hard to say which of those emotions stood out more. His head buzzed loudly. The system’s notification for the countdown of turning back into fish started alarming right at this moment.
Li Yu has never been so panicked before. He definitely couldn’t change back right in front of Jing-wang. Not knowing what to do, he can only follow instinct by turning around and running off.
Jing-wang never thought Li Yu would react as such. After being stunned briefly, he immediately went to give chase. However, his tongue had a shooting pain. Giving it a wipe, there was actually a handful of blood. The carp demon bit him so viciously, but Jing-wang didn’t even know where he offended him.
After all, from his highness’s perspective, he never thought that the carp demon would resist. Even more so, he never thought that the carp demon who was always demanding for his affections would not like him doing this.
In a split second, Li Yu already charged outside, body still shaking uncontrollably. The time to change form has arrived. He immediately returned to being a fish and fell to the floor.
Not long after, Jing-wang ran out following him. Here, he saw the fish that was flopping nonstop on the floor.
Jing-wang: “……”
Jing-wang halted and carefully picked the fish up. Li Yu saw this person and recalled the scene just now when he was bullied. Instantly, he started grieving.
What kind of bastard master was this? He’d even bully fish ahhhhhh!
Li Yu forcefully flailed in Jing-wang’s hand, not wanting to bother with him!
Jing-wang could feel that fish wasn’t happy, however, he still didn’t let the fish go.
He carried the unsettled, constantly twisting fish back into the house and gently placed the fish into the fish tank.
Perhaps placing the fish inside the pond would have been better. However, Jing-wang can feel that this fish was throwing a temper tantrum. Afraid that if fish went down, it wouldn’t want to swim back out again, Jing-wang willfully placed fish back into the crystal fish tank.
Even if Xiao Yu wasn’t happy, Jing-wang still couldn’t let the fish leave his line of sight.
The little carp who escaped his scoundrel master hastily swam to the silver stone bed and darted into the gold silk grass blankets with a whoosh, refusing to come out. He laid there despairingly for quite a while before remembering that the blankets and bed were both something that Jing-wang got for him. The fish, who felt extremely sulky after being bullied, flung aside the blanket with a swing of his tail and dove head first into a cave inside the fake mountain.
Actually he was very clear that he shouldn’t use his fish body to act angrily towards Jing-wang.
Jing-wang most likely didn’t see the transformation scene just now and still didn’t know his secret. In Jing-wang’s eyes, the person that he bullied and the fish who suddenly started throwing a temper had no relations at all.
However, his head was already a complete mess. Clearly the person who had his tofu eaten and was treated frivolously was him. So shouldn’t it be normal for him to become angry?
Other than shock and indignance, even more so, he couldn’t understand. He had spent much less time together with Jing-wang in his human form than in fish form. Why would Jing-wang want to bully him? Was he… was he such a casual person in Jing-wang’s eyes?
Big meanie. How dare you treat him like this!
Just thinking about it made Li Yu feel filled with a wave of anger. He swam out of the cave again with a whoosh and flipped the gold silk grass blanket, pretending it was Jing-wang and tearing into it ferociously.
However, this blanket clearly couldn’t be ripped apart. Li Yu slammed head first into a pile of multicolored rocks, throwing the round rocks all far, far away.
He still couldn’t calm his anger. In the end, he started to slam into the crystal fish tank– however, he didn’t dare to hit it too forcefully. What if he broke a hole in the fish tank……
Oh right. Just now he seemed to have given Jing-wang the knee. He didn’t cripple Jing-wang there, right?
Shouldn’t have. He was just randomly kicking; it wasn’t that accurate.
Ahhhhhhhh, this was no good and that’s no good. How could he still actually be concerned about that bastard. Fish was too angry!
Li Yu rammed into the crystal fish tank repeatedly. Suddenly a human figure appeared before him. Raising his head, he saw Jing-wang carrying a jade box full of fish food and peach blossom cookies, and standing in front of the fish tank.
Li Yu: “……”
Big meanie! I’m ignoring you!
Li Yu swung his tail. Hmmph. I’ve decided. Fish is going on a hunger strike!
He immediately dove into the fake mountain cave, even hiding the tip of his tail. Jing-wang who’s been watching fish this entire time: “…….”
Jing-wang sprinkled a handful of fish food down. But the usually gluttonous fish didn’t swim over.
Jing-wang shook his head helplessly. He left the food and hid himself far away, peeking at this fish. The fish still didn’t respond at all.
Because fish also threw tempers before but always recovered eventually, Jing-wang felt like this time, it would be the same.
Unexpectedly, even after a few days, the fish still remained hidden inside the cave, refusing to come out. Don’t even mention changing form. Even if Jing-wang wanted to explain, he had no opportunities.
Jing-wang suddenly realized that things were not going well. This fish seemed to have really decided to ignore him.
Li Yu: Hope I didn’t kick him, hope I didn’t kick him… QQ, fish hates you the most!
Oof— total misunderstandings on both sides…
Li Yu didn’t realize that Jing-Wang thought their relationship was romantic and assumed that Jing-Wang just wanted someone to sleep with… While Jing-Wang thought Li Yu liked him romantically, but Li Yu hasn’t ever thought of it that way—
Yes, one was being forcefully ()ed while the other thought he was reciprocating his feelings.
Thank You for the chapter (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the update ❤️🐟
he called him bastard!😑 then what abt you when u kiss him and bit his bean!🙄😑
So much for this innocent and naive fish😩.
Thanks for the chapter ☺️.
Aww, baby Yu, you are so cute yet so dumb. Even if he hadn’t put 2 and 2 together already, he would have after finding the fish just after you ran.
Thank you for the chapter =^w^=
Well he did kiss JW twice before without consent now he’s bitching having his tofu eaten. Haisst. The hypocrisy people have. They do things to others they don’t want to happen to them.
Not hating here, just saying how bothersome this behavior in real life
Why is my comment here?😅
It’s their first lovey-dovey misunderstanding huhuhu Jing-wang, u better explain to the fish that they are your baobeiii quickkk
Lol it’s a lover’s spat!
well, on one side, Jing Wang really did deserve the kick and indignation becuz he really didnt ask for consent 😆 consent is a very important thing, but I cant really blame him becuz misunderstood their relationship. If he had been honest early on and confronted Li Yu that he already knows his identity… but alas so many misunderstanding that is preventing them to just confront each other. They really cant communicate properly
It’s not like you didn’t kiss him also don’t remember the iridescent pearl incident anymore huh? lol maybe he has no such innocent purity restraints in fish body?? 😭😭
Mc drop ur cute pure act nobody likes it lol
oh no QAQ
Prince, you need to learn to be patient ah! this fish is a bit dense… he doesn’t understand your thoughts… ah… this won’t be well
How can fish be so dense 💀
I don’t blame Li Yu for getting upset. I mean Jing Wang did forcefully kiss him but at the same time I can also understand why Jing Wang misunderstood the relationship they have because after all, Li Yu did kiss him without consent a few times for the sake of his mission.
Why is the fish so dumb? Why didn’t he connect 2 and 2 and think “oh, I jumped out the window as a human but fell to the floor as a fish. Doesn’t master find it weird that his fish wasn’t in his tank anymore and is suddenly on the floor?”
!!!!!!!!! WHY IS HE DO DUMBBB AGH??? he has been a human for 18 YEARS and a fish for I’m guessing a couple of months so why ain’t he ACTING like it??
Pls I know ur mad in this chap pero han habido varias veces en las que te pudiste haber dado cuenta mi vidaaaa
Anyway love this story 💞💞 (thank you ml for not being as dense as mc)
