rencarnated as a koi fish

Bright pearl — I got it!

The long-awaited sound of the system sounded again, like the sound of nature. Li Yu was overjoyed. Of course, King Jing was still in front of him, so he had to restrain himself a little. He couldn't just abandon King Jing and enter the system.

The night-luminescent pearl should be useless to him the moment the task was completed. Li Yu couldn't keep holding the pearl in his mouth. He wanted to put it down, but King Jing and Wang Xi kept staring at him in front of the blue and white porcelain fish tank.

Li Yu: "…"

Li Yu felt that if he dared to throw the night-luminescent pearl away, he might be stabbed to death by the tyrant's sharp eyes.

King Jing must have thought that he liked the pearl very much, so he gave it to him, right?

He had just apologized, so he couldn't throw the pearl away. He had to pretend that he liked it, but his mouth was so sour that he kept holding it in his mouth …

Li Yu thought for a while, then put the pearl at the bottom of the tank and bashfully rubbed it with his mouth. The round pearl rolled forward a few times and stopped. Li Yu continued rubbing it with his mouth and pushed the pearl far away.

Just treat it as playing football, Li Yu comforted himself as he played happily.

"Your Highness, look, you gave the little thing a pearl. The little thing likes it very much. It's rolling the pearl."

Wang Xi was very excited when the little carp jumped around happily just now. It even knew how to catch the night-luminescent pearl from its master's hand.

Uh, although the pearl was valuable, even Eunuch Wang felt sorry for the imperial concubine.

The night-luminescent pearl was chased by the little carp. The bright light and the silvery shadow of the fish intertwined. It was a rare sight.

King Jing smiled faintly. This little fish really wanted the pearl.

Li Yu rolled the pearl all the way to a corner and pretended to be tired and wanted to rest. He laid on the white stone bed and entered the system.

Sure enough, the reward of completing the side task came to him.

Li Yu suppressed his excitement and carefully read the method of using the transformation medicine. Just as he was about to confirm that he had obtained it, he suddenly had an idea and remembered something.

The medicine bottle was simple and unadorned. It was engraved with patterns that he could not understand. Although it did not look big, where would he put the medicine bottle if he took it directly?

Was he going to let the bottle float in the pool of clear water in his portable space?

… It seemed a little perverted.

Li Yu quickly calculated and asked the system, "If I don't collect it immediately, will the transformation medicine disappear?"

The System replied, "No. The reward for completing a mission will always be there. "

Li Yu nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. I'll keep this reward for now. When I need it, I'll take it and use it immediately!"

The System, "…"

Li Yu found that he seemed to have opened the door to a new world. Even if the portable space was not big enough, it did not prevent him from using this clever method to keep things that were not very urgent. He was always cheated by the System, so it was not bad to cheat the System once in a while!

When he first heard that there was a transformation medicine, he was overjoyed. However, after thinking about it carefully, this medicine could not be used casually. He did not exist in the original book world. If he suddenly appeared in human form, he was afraid that it would cause unnecessary chaos. Moreover, the transformation could only last for two hours. The timing of the transformation and what to do were all very important. He had to plan in advance and find a suitable escape route so that he would not turn back into a fish in public. That would not be appropriate.

Anyway, with the medicine in hand, there was no need to rush.

Li Yu heroically closed the mission "Bright Pearl". When he checked the main mission again, he immediately became listless.

The "Get Along" countdown was still decreasing, reminding him that there was less than a day left before the deadline.

If he could not complete the main mission, even if he obtained the transformation medicine, he would not have the chance to use it.

Li Yu thought, "At this time, the scamming System did not even give me a hint. Does its conscience not hurt?"

The System replied, "The System does not have a conscience. Please be patient and complete the mission. "

Li Yu, "…"

He knew that this was an emotionless System.

Li Yu left. In the dead of night, the Luminous Pearl was still emitting a faint fluorescent light, illuminating the celadon fish tank as if it was daytime.

Li Yu put the seaweed quilt on top of the Luminous Pearl to cover its radiance. He yawned and fell asleep leaning on the Luminous Pearl.

When he woke up again, Li Yu smelled the fragrance of ink. Not far from him was a row of fish food that he had hidden to give to King Jing.

King Jing did not touch his gift. This gift could not be given out for too long and it would spoil. Li Yu had to solve it himself.

After eating the fish food, he thought of the unlucky main mission. Did he have to wait for the time to pass?

Impossible. He had to see what King Jing was doing, then he would join in and try to have some interaction. Messing around was better than not doing anything at all.

Li Yu could hear King Jing's movements in the room, but the celadon fish tank was too high for him. If King Jing did not take the initiative to come over, it would be difficult for him to see King Jing.

Li Yu secretly gathered strength in his tail. He was now very familiar with using his tail and could jump out of the fish tank easily. This time, he wanted to grab onto the edge of the fish tank and stay on top of it. He did not want to fall back to the bottom of the tank after just one glance. This was a new trick that he had never practiced before. Also, to grab onto the fish tank, the fish's body and fins must have good coordination. He did not seem to be able to do it yet.

King Jing, who was writing at the table, heard a soft sound. The little carp swung its tail and jumped up.

King Jing had seen carps swinging their tails a few times before, so he was not surprised. In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he heard Madame Chou say that carps could fly. The Emperor did not believe her, but King Jing did not doubt her. He knew that his fish could actually "fly" in a unique way, but King Jing would not speak for Madame Chou.

Seeing the fish jump up again, King Jing's expression was calm. After all, the fish would fall back down in a short while.

But after waiting for a while, the fish did not fall back down. Instead, it fell onto the edge of the fish tank. Its tail flapped wildly, and the fish slowly slid down.

Then, plop.

King Jing: "…"

The little carp seemed to be unconvinced and immediately jumped up again.

King Jing: "…"

King Jing could roughly guess what the fish wanted to do. When the little carp fell onto the edge of the fish tank for the second time and flailed around, he picked it up at the right time.

Li Yu: "???"

The little carp was trying hard to struggle against the fish tank when he suddenly felt that his body was light. He was lifted up by someone. When he looked up, who else could it be but King Jing?

Li Yu happily used his tail to curl around King Jing's finger: Master, come and help me!

King Jing: "…"

His finger was a little itchy. King Jing held the fish and coughed softly. He acted too quickly and did not find a suitable container to hold the fish. He was afraid that the fish would not be able to take it if it was out of the water for too long. King Jing gently placed the fish in a clean teacup on the table.

The base of the teacup was made of white jade, and there were wisps of green around it. It was shaped like a flower petal, and it was just big enough to hold a fish. King Jing poured some clear water into the teacup. The teacup was very shallow, and once the little carp entered the teacup, it could easily lift its head and look around.

Although he had already moved into King Jing's house, the fish's field of vision was very limited. He could only hear the sounds of people coming and going all day long. He had never seen what King Jing's house looked like, but he soon saw it clearly.

The little carp was a little upset.

After seeing the exquisite luxury of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, King Jing's house was a little shabby in comparison. In summary, King Jing's house was restrained, simple, and steady. It was very suitable for the tyrant's cold temperament. Unless it was necessary, there were very few decorations. It was a little like a snow cave.

It's okay, Li Yu thought. Anyway, his existence was to change the tyrant's personality. Maybe he could even warm up the snow cave in the future.

There was a brush and ink beside the teacup. After King Jing settled him down, he sat down and picked up the brush.

So he wanted to write and draw. Li Yu remembered the fragrance of ink and excitedly wagged his tail. He knew a lot about this and could give King Jing some ideas.

When the little carp was happy, his tail was raised high. King Jing gave him a warning glance. Li Yu immediately put down his tail. It was not easy to get out of the fish tank. If he wet King Jing's manuscript or drawing, he would definitely be punished.

The little carp stared at him quietly and passionately.

King Jing pondered for a moment, then spread out the paper and drew a lifelike fish with just a few strokes.

Li Yu looked at the fish head, body, and tail. Oh, King Jing was actually drawing him!!

Li Yu was very happy that someone was drawing his portrait. From his hair to his heels, King Jing was very pleasing to the eye.

He thought that he should also contribute a little. Since King Jing had drawn his portrait, how about he be the model fish for King Jing?

The little carp thought about it again and again and made a pose in the teacup that he felt was majestic. In fact, it was just an extremely twisted S shape.

King Jing smiled. He felt that the little carp was very tactful, so he changed a few strokes according to the fish's appearance.

Although the man and the fish did not make a sound, they were happy and harmonious.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, His Majesty's reward has arrived." Wang Xi came in to report with his forehead full of sweat.

King Jing put down his brush and put the painting aside to dry. He was about to go out to receive the edict. Before he went out, he looked back and saw the little carp looking at the painting and wagging his tail, eager to try.

King Jing's eyelids twitched. He turned back and put the fish in the teacup to take it away. He did not want to leave the fish alone in the room. When he came back, he saw that there were a few more tail prints on the painting.

Li Yu, who was suddenly "cleaned up" by King Jing, was speechless.

The news of Imperial Concubine Qiu framing King Jing had already spread throughout the palace. The Emperor knew very well that if this matter had happened a few years ago, he would not have let it go so easily. However, since he wanted the Second Prince to be the future Crown Prince, he could not ignore the Second Prince's face. Although the Emperor gave Mu Tianzhao the cold shoulder for a few days after the incident, he did not want to change the Crown Prince candidate because of this.

Since the Emperor punished Imperial Concubine Qiu, King Jing also had to spend a lot of effort to appease him. It could be seen from the thickness of the gift list. All kinds of rare treasures were given to King Jing as if they were free. The Emperor did not even bat an eye.

Among the gifts, there was one that was unusual. It was a rare koi fish that foreign countries had offered to the Emperor as a tribute. There were only a few pairs in the world.

In the past, the Emperor had also given King Jing gifts. However, in the past, King Jing was too difficult to please. He did not lack gold or silver and was not interested in beauties. The Emperor often had a headache over how to reward King Jing. Now that he suddenly found out that King Jing actually had interests, the Emperor waved his brush as if he had been injected with chicken blood. Since King Jing loved to raise fish, he might as well give him more fish.

Head Steward Luo's face was full of smiles. He directed the chamberlains to carry a fish tank that was three to four feet long to Jing Tai Hall. This fish tank was carved out of a single piece of crystal and was rarely transparent. The fish tank was filled with rare red and gold koi fish that the Emperor had personally picked out. These koi fish were very well fed and were very large. When they swam in groups, they shone brightly and were very dazzling.

Li Yu was being supported by Eunuch Wang and was eating the red fish food that Li Yu had been fed. When he heard that the Emperor had actually stuffed fish into King Jing's mouth, Li Yu was so shocked that he opened his mouth and a piece of fish food floated away.

Nowadays, could it be that even a fish had to compete for favor?

With his IQ, how could he compete with other fish? However, he still had a mission. If King Jing ignored him, who would he find to complete his mission?

No, he had to compete.

Li Yu watched covetously and decided to guard King Jing like an old hen. If there were other fish that tried to seduce King Jing, he would chase them away.

The little carp secretly prepared for battle. Who knew that after King Jing looked at the crystal fish tank that contained the koi fish, he did not leave behind the only pairs of koi fish in the world.

King Jing had a firm will and was not tempted by the beautiful koi fish. Li Yu was very happy
