Jing-wang really didn’t know what to do with this fish.
With a faint smile, he reached out and rubbed Li Yu on the head.
Li Yu: ???
Was this the same meaning as rubbing fish…… oh who cares!
Li Yu grabbed Jing-wang and made him sit. Jing-wang was somewhat hesitant, not knowing what Xiao Yu planned to do. Nevertheless, he still listened to the fish and sat on the side of the bed.
He didn’t even sit steady when this fish immediately pulled the bed curtains closed with speed.
The light from the oil lamps on the table outside passed through the bed curtains and lit up the area faintly. The hibiscus woven onto the curtains reflected onto the youth’s snow white inner robe. The candlelight revealed Xiao Yu’s eyes, which shone like the stars in excitement.
Breathing tensely, Jing-wang couldn’t stop his desire for Xiao Yu from rising. Yet he promptly recalled the three basic rules he had agreed to and can only do his best to suppress this craving.
“How come you’re sitting so far away, your highness. Come over some more.” Li Yu casually patted the jade pillow nestled by his side.
Jing-wang: “……”
How could Jing-wang dare to really move next to him? He only scooted over a little.
Li Yu urged a few more times and said with a grin: “It’s not like I’m a wild beast. Don’t tell me, your highness is scared of me right now?”
Jing-wang: “……”
Jing-wang said silently in his heart: Although you’re not a wild beast, you’re a seductive little vixen, much more powerful than a wild beast.
After being urged a few times, Jing-wang couldn’t remain unmoving. Hesitating for a moment, he sat next to Xiao Yu’s side, leaving only a finger of distance between the two of them.
Li Yu was just waiting for him. When he came close, Li Yu immediately snuggled in and enthusiastically hugged his arm, erasing the last tiny bit of distance between them.
“Your highness, your highness, look!” Li Yu pulled out a few booklets from behind his back like performing a magic trick.
Using the lamp light from outside the curtains, Jing-wang vaguely recognized the books to be the “White Snake Memoirs” and other such stories that he hasn’t read in a long time.
Jing-wang: “……”
Li Yu stuffed the stories into his hands and also stuffed himself into Jing-wang’s arms in the process. Secretly laughing, Li Yu said extremely seriously outwardly: “Since you didn’t want to tell me what absorbing essence meant, I recalled that your highness had many books. I figured the answer must be in the books, so I started searching.”
Jing-wang: “…….”
The warm and soft body that suddenly draped over him made Jing-wang feel helpless all over, not knowing where to put his hands and feet. Jing-wang felt like ever since he passed through the curtains, he fell into the carp demon’s gentle and warm trap, a sweet syrup that he remained willingly inside.
As he silently recited a heart calming phrase, Jing-wang quietly watched the feigning carp demon in his arms.
“And guess what– I really did find it. It’s in these books! Your highness, look at what the white snake demon said to the scholar!”
Laying on Jing-wang’s chest, Li Yu flipped to a certain page in the book and pointed at a sentence inside, purposely reading it out loudly. “Husband, us demons all need to absorb essence.”
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: “……..”

“There’s more here too…… Husband, us demons need to suck today as well.” Li Yu blinked several times and raised his face, pretending to be naïve as he asked Jing-wang: “Your highness, the stuff in this book, is this what you wanted?”
Being called husband, husband randomly by Li Yu, Jing-wang suffered extremely from his teasing. After struggling for a while, he lightly nodded his head.
Li Yu felt like he finally caught Jing-wang with his hook, line, and sinker and asked complacently: “Your highness, the book talks about how to absorb essence. If you don’t know, we can read it together?”
If they read it together, then something can naturally happen in the process. This was Li Yu’s plan.
But Jing-wang remembered the three basic rules and firmly shook his head. He even wanted to put away the books.
Li Yu: “……”
While Jing-wang wasn’t here, Li Yu already skimmed through all of the books himself. Although he didn’t understand a lot of the ancient words, in this area, most of the time it involved intuition. Getting the fundamentals meant understanding everything. People had a shocking ability to understand things of this matter.
Jing-wang cherished him immensely; Li Yu both sympathized and loved Jing-wang. He already had thoughts of becoming more intimate with Jing-wang, then he was aroused by the content of the books. Even after lying down for a while, Li Yu didn’t manage to calm down. Therefore, he decided to wait for Jing-wang in bed and try everything to make Jing-wang comply. Yet at this crucial moment, Jing-wang actually didn’t want to cooperate?
And what made Jing-wang not want to cooperate seemed to be the three rules that Li Yu had established himself before?
Li Yu suddenly had a feeling like he picked up a stone and dropped it on his own feet.
No, no wait. Li Yu abruptly remembered. What he wanted right now was not quite the same as the three basic rules.
Back then, he insisted on establishing the three basic rules. It wasn’t because he was unwilling to do this kind of thing. The main reason was because he was afraid they might not be able to control themselves in the throes of passion. Suddenly changing back into a fish in the middle would make it hard to explain.
But how can he forget that there were methods where he didn’t need to fear changing back into a fish. So why hold back?
The books were useless. Unable to use them to seduce the boyfriend, now he needed to step up to the plate himself.
Li Yu rustled about for a while, kicking all of the books off the bed. Then he raised his head and smiled mysteriously: “Your highness, I– I have a friend who once said, other than staying the night, boyfriends can also do some other things…… ”
Jing-wang: ?
Jing-wang was just about to vinegar which friend when sweet lips immediately pressed against his. With an embarrassed smile, Xiao Yu took Jing-wang’s hands and placed them on the pearl belt on his waist.
The grass green blanket with gold edges was scrunched up into a ball for a while and then smoothed out later. Sweet and merry laughter traveled out of it intermittently.
Li Yu was almost smothered by this feeling of tenderness. With a reddened face, he said in a tiny voice: “Your highness, let’s do it together, okay?”
Jing-wang didn’t quite understand at first, but Xiao Yu used his body to make him understand. The carp demon had plenty of different ways of absorbing essence. Jing-wang was still very fresh and inexperienced.
Of course, Jing-wang listened to Xiao Yu. Following Xiao Yu, he can have his essence absorbed. He can also eat fish, and also experience a happiness that he’s never had before.
“Your highness, how long are you normally?” Li Yu raised his disheveled head out of the warm and cozy blankets and asked Jing-wang.
One side of the neck that he revealed outside was full of erotic red marks, making Jing-wang unable to look away.
Li Yu poked at Jing-wang’s leg with his toes.
The 6th Prince really didn’t arrive at a good time. Li Yu didn’t have much time left so he asked in order to make preparations for the future.
Also hair disheveled, Jing-wang who just tasted a hint of sweetness: “…….”
No man would be humble at a time like this. Jing-wang silently held up one finger.
Li Yu: “Huh? A cup of tea? So fast!?”
Angered, Jing-wang pinched Li Yu’s round cheek and lightly pressed down, crushing fish until he cried out “Ai ai”.
Fish knew he was wrong and said with an apologetic smile: “Sorry, I… I was wrong. Not that fast, it’s.. It’s….”
If not a cup of tea, then it’s an incense stick? Two hours?
No matter what it was, there wasn’t enough time.
Li Yu straightened up and regretfully kissed the corner of Jing-wang’s mouth. “Sorry, your highness. I… I have to leave for a while again.”
Jing-wang understood and rubbed him on the head.
“Oh right, your highness, don’t always bathe in cold water anymore in the future.” Li Yu said with a smile.
Although they couldn’t do it until the last step, there were still plenty of steps before then. They can be like other couples and try them all.
Whenever Li-gongzi left, Jing-wang always bathed in cold water. Although he concealed it from Li-gongzi, the little carp can see.
Startled, Jing-wang nodded his head and then wanted to kiss Li Yu again.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu, who just exchanged plenty of tenderness with him, suddenly changed expression and shoved him away, yelling out loudly: “Ahhhhhhh no time left!”
Xiao Yu, who finished absorbing essence, immediately threw on clothes and “ran off.”
Jing-wang: “……”
Jing-wang remained laying on the bed, almost still able to feel the overwhelming warmth and tenderness just now lingering in the surrounding.
Inside the fish tank, the little carp swam around sneakily, almost like he did something wrong. Waiting left and right, he waited until he was certain that the person on the bed had fallen asleep before pulling out the charming little gold fish from his interdimensional space. This was another gift that he had received. Jing-wang was always giving him things. Li Yu kissed it happily and then entered the System energetically.
That’s right. When he and Jing-wang were rolling around inside the blanket, the mission updated.
However, Li Yu was busy with his hands and mouth at that time and didn’t have the time to bother.
This also meant that he and Jing-wang’s romance and intimacy advanced through following their hearts. He didn’t even care much about the main mission anymore.
He also didn’t imagine that the seemingly stumped task had resolved just like this.
Getting married was one method of advancing one’s relationship. Intimacy was another.
He and Jing-wang will become closer and closer in the future. Maybe as they continue to date, the next mission will finish naturally on its own.
Li Yu felt like this kind of mental attitude was very good and he needed to maintain it. Logically, he disdained the System, but in reality, he still needed to pay attention to when he can change back into a human completely.
The reward for this “attached at the hip” mission was still one of Jing-wang’s secrets. Li Yu felt like ever since the “The Tyrant’s Guppy Pet Fish” main mission, the system became much more stingy. The reward for a mission was always a secret.
However, one can also think of this as, “The Tyrant’s Guppy Pet Fish” was the foundation, and did its best to make fish improve everything. After creating the foundation, what occurred next was going in-depth by exchanging secrets.
There were still four choices to the secrets he could pick. The other three secrets from the reward for “Wind, flower, snow, and mood” still remained. The secret that Li Yu had obtained with the 2nd Prince falling into the water updated into another one which had a faint flash of the sword light from clashing weapons.
Looking at these secrets, Li Yu thought internally, don’t tell him that he was going to see all of the tyrannical behavior that Jing-wang had hidden from him just like this?
Because he was afraid of seeing bloody scenes, he instinctively avoided the secret with the swords. Therefore, he didn’t pick that one, instead what’s left was……
Li Yu randomly picked the pitch dark palace that he didn’t recognize.
He was already mentally prepared and very quickly entered the memories of this secret.
This was the corner of some unknown palace, inside a dark room. On the table inside the room, there was a box that held needles and thread. Inside the box, there was a cloth with a half-completed tiger stitch. Next to the table sat a fat, 30 some years old woman. This woman looked anxious and miserable, occasionally picking up the cloth tiger and giving it a stitch. She looked expectant, as if waiting for someone.
Not long afterwards, someone dressed as an inner servant entered the room. Li Yu felt somewhat strange. He didn’t recognize this person at all. If they were one of Jing-wang’s subordinates, he should be very familiar with them by now.
The inner servant gave a paper package to the woman. The woman was extremely alarmed and knelt down, begging for mercy unceasingly. The inner servant only maintained a cold face and refused. Then, perhaps impatient and annoyed, they kicked the woman to the floor with a foot.
The woman had no choice and poured out the powder inside the paper package with shaky hands.
Li Yu thought this woman was being coerced by the inner servant and planned to drug Jing-wang. However, the next second, he saw the woman swallow the powder and started crying two rivers of tears.
What Li Yu could see stopped here, but he left with even more questions than before.
He knew that these secrets should be Jing-wang’s past. But inside the secret relating to the 2nd Prince, he could see Jing-wang, and even himself. He can hear all sorts of noises. However, in this secret, there was no sound at all and he didn’t see Jing-wang.
Since Jing-wang wasn’t there, how can it count as one of Jing-wang’s secrets?
And this woman and the inner servant, how were they related to Jing-wang?
Also– that package of powder. The palace mostly used aphrodisiacs or poison. Why did the woman eat it herself?
Was this woman like another Chu YanYu, and wanted to drug Jing-wang, but also gave herself a little first as well?
The age of this woman was older. It didn’t seem likely. Also there weren’t a lot of people like Chu YanYu……
Li Yu couldn’t figure it out. However, he was experienced already. Whenever the System gave him something he didn’t understand, he usually could put it aside momentarily.
Now that “attached at the hip” was completed, what was the next step? Li Yu was nervous and also excited.
A deeper relationship than what they had now, what kind of infuriating task will it be now?
Li Yu pretty much had a feeling. Taking a deep breath, he opened the main mission to look. The next step was–
Share joys and sorrows with the Tyrant, for better or for worse.
thanks for the chapter!
Ooo, If such a random secret was reviled then that woman/incident probably have to do with the next mission, I wonder who she is?
The sword clashing secret probably has to do when Jing-Wang was nearly blinded with the limestone powder?
Thank You for the chapter ( ˘ ³˘)❤
Thanks for the update ❤️🐟
Why do I have a feeling that poor bullied woman is Jing-wang’s mother…
And they said something about being mute is genetic, what if Jing-wang is not born mute but from someone deliberately make him so?

Hmm… Is this.. the empress?
What if she’s Jing-wang’s mother? The empress.
I love our MC, but why does he have to be so stupid? crying
A woman related to the ML? Can’t he at least theorize that it’s the ML’s mother, and the thing she ate maybe caused ML’s mute nature?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, I’m just frustrated over our adorable little dumb fish
😭
Of course this theory might be wrong, but at least a little though, a little umph, a little “maybe?” ya know
