rencarnated as a koi fish

King Jing once again stretched out his hand towards the little carp.

Li Yu dodged again.

He was very scared. This was different from the fear of being turned into fish bones and fish ashes if he couldn't complete the mission. He had seen King Jing kill the female assassin with his own eyes and was frightened by the scene of flesh and blood splattering everywhere.

In fact, he knew very well that King Jing had killed the female assassin out of self-defense. Even if the female assassin hadn't been killed by King Jing, she couldn't have escaped death for assassinating a prince. But he had grown up in a peaceful world and had never seen a bloody scene. This killing had come so suddenly that he wasn't mentally prepared at all. To him, it was too shocking and too exciting.

King Jing was usually calm in front of him and when he interacted with him. Sometimes, he could even be said to be a little gentle. Although he had always been called a tyrant, he had never deeply understood the meaning of the word 'tyrant' like he did today. With just one meeting, he had decided the life and death of the other party. He hadn't even frowned when taking the other person's life.

The thinking of the ancient rulers was completely different from the education he had received. All of a sudden, King Jing, who was not bothering to hide his viciousness, felt like a stranger to him.

Li Yu was afraid of King Jing like this, especially when he thought about whether King Jing would kill him with one strike if he transformed into a human to complete the mission.

… Definitely. To King Jing, he and the female assassin were no different. They were both 'ants' who had 'trespassed' into King Jing's territory.

Whenever he recalled the female assassin's death, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

King Jing saw the little carp trembling non-stop and stopped touching the fish's head. Li Yu knew that he was King Jing's fish and shouldn't avoid King Jing's touch. But no matter how much he tried to mentally prepare himself, his instincts still told him to be afraid. He always felt that there was a bloody smell on King Jing's body. He couldn't stand it and it made it even more difficult for him to forget.

After a few times, King Jing knew that the fish was resisting him.

What's wrong with the fish?

King Jing couldn't figure it out for a while, but the fish couldn't be out of the water for too long. King Jing found that the fins of the little carp were a little dry.

King Jing turned his head and glanced at Wang Xi, then looked at the little carp. The meticulous Eunuch Wang immediately said, "Your Highness, please rest assured. Leave the little thing to me."

Wang Xi walked quickly to the bed, and Li Yu heaved a sigh of relief. He was not repulsed by Wang Xi. He allowed Wang Xi to gently lift him up and quickly send him back to the crystal fish tank.

Little Carp felt much better after entering the water. He turned around to look at King Jing, only to find that King Jing was also looking at him with his cold eyes. Little Carp was so scared that he immediately hid in the rockery.

King Jing realized that Wang Xi could touch the little carp, but he couldn't. His eyes darkened.

This wasn't the first time that the fish avoided him.

Previously, it either bit him or bumped into him. He knew that his fish was a little special and could understand human nature. Why was it avoiding him this time?

King Jing felt an inexplicable sense of irritation. He began to think about what he had done that was different from Wang Xi's.

Soon, he figured it out.

King Jing looked down and his gaze fell on his sword. He had just dealt with the assassin. Could it be that … the fish was afraid of the smell of blood on his body?

King Jing didn't actually have any blood on him. He still took off his sword and went to the bathroom to wash up. He deliberately changed into a clean white robe and ordered the chamberlain to burn his dirty clothes.

After doing all this, King Jing went to touch the little carp again. Li Yu kept retreating.

The tyrant was willing to change his clothes for him. He watched from the side and was more or less touched. He also felt that he was exaggerating. However, the fear of someone or something couldn't be eliminated immediately. Even though King Jing's displeasure was obvious, he couldn't control it.

King Jing pursed his lips tightly. He paced a few steps in front of the crystal fish tank and finally stopped. He stretched out his long arm and fished out the fish that he had just put in.

Li Yu thought that King Jing had completely lost his patience with him. He flapped around in a panic. King Jing glanced at the fish indifferently. He picked up the petal-shaped teacup and put the fish inside.

… Was he going to punish him?

Li Yu was in despair. However, King Jing did something unbelievable. He put the fish next to the pillow.

Li Yu:???

The messy bed and the bloodstains on the floor had been cleaned up. Not a single trace could be seen. But to Li Yu, not being able to see anything did not mean that nothing had happened. He still remembered King Jing's murderous intent and his determination to plunge his sword into the assassin's chest.

He was even more afraid that King Jing would do the same to him one day.

King Jing looked at him for a while. Then, he reached out and patted his head. Li Yu lowered his head in fear, and his body trembled. King Jing knocked on his head gently, then lay down beside the teacup where Li Yu was sitting.

Li Yu: "…"

Li Yu was shocked. King Jing was putting him next to him even when he was sleeping. Right, wasn't this … sharing the same bed?

Li Yu, who suddenly realized that he was sharing the same bed, was shocked!!!

At this time, the main mission could still be saved. Li Yu's mind was in a mess. He definitely wanted to complete the mission, but he was also very afraid of King Jing …

The two emotions kept fighting. The temptation of completing the mission finally diluted some of his fear.

Li Yu stretched out his fish tail and carefully touched the edge of the jade pillow. Sharing the same bed was only half of the mission. The other half was sharing the same pillow. According to his experience, as long as he touched the jade pillow, he would pass the mission.

This time, King Jing next to him was the real deal. When his tail touched the jade pillow, the system clearly informed him that he had completed the part of sharing the same bed.

Li Yu didn't feel any joy from completing the mission. He was right next to King Jing. He looked up and met King Jing's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything. The little carp stopped breathing, shook his tail, and shrank back. He buried his fish face in the water.

Would the tyrant kill him if he found out?

Li Yu thought of the female assassin who was covered in blood before she died. He was so angry that he wanted to bite someone.

He opened his mouth randomly and suddenly bit … King Jing's finger.

Wrong again. Li Yu's face was full of tears. How could he know that King Jing stretched out his hand again?!

Li Yu was still biting King Jing's finger. He looked at King Jing with his wet fish eyes. King Jing stared at him for a while and let him bite.

Li Yu spat out his finger. Sob, sob, sob. It's not like this. He wanted to get closer to the tyrant who pampered him!

King Jing saw that he had relented and didn't blame him. He patted his head and pushed the jade pillow away. Then, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Li Yu: "…"

What was King Jing trying to do?

Li Yu was also sleepy. He wanted to sleep but didn't dare. He also didn't dare to enter the system next to King Jing. The teacup was too small, so he was almost trapped on the bed. He was badly burned.

Before tonight, when the teacup couldn't trap him, he definitely dared to jump around. At that time, he was ignorant and actually scratched the tiger's head.

Li Yu lay on his stomach obediently. He felt that King Jing's breathing was gradually smoothing out. He didn't move for more than an hour, so he should be asleep.

Li Yu was just about to enter the system to check on the mission when King Jing suddenly turned around and faced him. Li Yu immediately moved away, afraid that King Jing would crush him and turn him into a fish cake.

Fortunately, King Jing's sleeping posture was very good. He had been obediently sleeping on one side of the jade pillow.

Li Yu saw that he was really asleep and gathered his courage to move closer.

King Jing's enlarged sleeping face was very close to him. His thick eyelashes covered his cold eyes, making him look harmless.

The little carp's little heart that was beating wildly was no longer so flustered. He felt that the sleeping King Jing wasn't particularly scary.

… Of course, who would look fierce when sleeping? Wasn't King Jing the one who suddenly turned hostile and killed someone?

Li Yu was suddenly startled. That's right, they were both King Jing. The King Jing who mercilessly killed the assassin, and the King Jing who was gentle and kind to him, were both the same person in front of him.

He always said that people had many sides to them. This was also King Jing's multi-faceted nature. Although he didn't clearly see King Jing's ruthless side, King Jing's ruthlessness didn't disappear just because he wasn't aware of it. His gentleness to him also coexisted with his coldness and ruthlessness to others.

Regardless of whether he was fearless or fearless, King Jing was still King Jing. Nothing had changed. He could not doubt King Jing's kindness towards him just because King Jing had killed the female assassin. If he really wanted to, he had offended King Jing countless times. If King Jing wanted to kill him, he would have done it a long time ago, right?

Li Yu suddenly understood this layer of thinking. He was suddenly enlightened and his whole body relaxed. When he turned back to look at King Jing sleeping quietly on the other side of the jade pillow, Li Yu's perspective on the problem was completely different. He thought awkwardly, Could it be that King Jing had pushed the pillow to him because he felt that he wanted the jade pillow and pushed it to him?

It was very likely! Didn't he also set up a teacup on the floor for him to play with and even helped him change his clothes to wash away his ruthlessness? Even when he was flustered and exasperated and bit him, King Jing didn't get angry.

King Jing was really good to fish. He really shouldn't doubt him and be afraid of him just because he was frightened.

… … Why don't I reconcile with King Jing tomorrow?

Little Carp, who was so frightened that his brain was about to smoke, picked a spot in the teacup near King Jing, yawned, and quickly fell asleep. Missions and whatnot, it was better to wait until he woke up!

When he woke up the next day, King Jing realized that the little carp was sticking close to him. Half of the teacup had been knocked over, and a large patch of his inner robe was wet. King Jing moved his hand closer, and the dazed fish came over to rub against his fingers again.

King Jing was overjoyed. He did not know that the fish's attitude towards him had changed. It had gone from the sky to the valley, and back again. He only felt that forcing the fish to stay close to him was effective.

Assassins had entered Jingtai Hall and the Emperor was furious. He repeatedly confirmed that King Jing was fine and didn't even lose a strand of his hair. The Emperor ordered the Imperial Bodyguards to investigate and give King Jing an explanation no matter what.

King Jing was almost assassinated and the Emperor felt very guilty. Originally, King Jing lived outside the palace. This time, the Emperor ordered King Jing to stay in the palace under the guise of the Imperial Concubine's birthday. This made King Jing unhappy. Other than rewarding him, the Emperor also ordered King Jing to return to his residence to have a good rest.

Finally, he could leave the palace.

After receiving the order, King Jing didn't have a trace of reluctance and immediately ordered Wang Xi to tidy up. King Jing's residence and Jingtai Hall were both King Jing's residences, so there were servants on both sides. King Jing had entered and left the palace countless times and had never brought anything extra. This time, however, there was a magnificent crystal fish tank. Half of the people in the palace came to watch the fun. It was said that the bad-tempered King Jing had a new fish and even the fish tank was bestowed by the Emperor. It had been approved in front of the Emperor and seemed to be even more favored than the Imperial Concubine's cat master!

What kind of precious fish did King Jing raise?

Everyone looked over and saw that the bottom of the crystal fish tank was full of pearls and gems. On top of it floated a gray little Carp that was spitting (dreaming).
