Li Yu floated motionlessly in the ice-cold water.
Hazy voices came from above hiupcyclingt he couldn't hear clearly. Li Yu felt a little noisy, so he turned over and opened his eyes. Suddenly, he found that his body s.emed to be wet.
He quivered, and his mind gradually became clear. Then, to his horror, he found that he was surrounded by water.
That's not right. He remembered that he had fallen asleep after staying up all night reading online novels. When did he fall into the water?
And he — — didn't know how to swim at all!
Li Yu was too frightened. In a panic, his hands and feet flailed wildly. When he exerted force, he felt something swaying behind him.
In the past, if he fell into the water, he would basically sink to the bottom. Unexpectedly, he didn't fall this ttexturetead, he stabilized himself in the water, as if the water had imperceptibly supported him.
Also, there was a strange rhythm behind him that couldn't be ignored …
What was it?
Li Yu subconsciously turned around and suddenly found that the long legs he was so proud of were gone. In their place was a shining silver fishtail. This tail was vigorously slapping the water up and dowe seemed to have found the reason.
It was probably because of the mof his tail that his body didn't sink.
Li Yu: "… …"
What was going on? How did his legs become a fishtail?
Could it he was dreaming?
That he had a dream of becoming a mermaid?
Although mermaid sounded a little feminine, Li Yu could only think of a person who could have a fishtail.
It wasn't the ugly and cute dugongs in the animal world, but a dreamy mermaid with long flowing hair, a beautiful face, and an ethereal voice.
As everyone knew, this kind of mermaid didn't exist in reality, so he must have become a mermaid in a dream.
Since it was just a dream, he didn't mind admiring his mermaid imafishtail dream
Li Yu looked left and right, trying to find a mirror or anything that could reflect his appearance.
At the same time, he was still vigorously swinging his fishtail. The feeling of wantonly swinging his fishtail back and forth seemed pretty good?
Unfortunately, the dream did not go well. There was no mirror in the water. Li Yu turned over and habitually reached his hand to his forehead, wanting to push back his bangs.
Who knew that something big would happen? Li Yu suddenly realized that no matter how hard he tried, he could not reach his forehead.
Hand … What's wrong? Is it getting shorter?
Li Yu looked at his hand in shock.
Only then did he realize that his well-defined hand was also gone. Instead, it was replaced by … a section of fin that was constantly flapping in the water. Its shape and tex ture were similar to a real fin.
If his legs became a tail and his hands became fins, then he was …?
Li Yu hurriedly looked at himself.
His entire body was covered in silver-black fish scales, except for his slender belly …
No, that's not right. When did his stomach become flat and narrow? It's like an ordinary fish's … stomach.
Holy shit!
Li Yu took a deep breath, and a bubble actually came out.
Refracted by the surface of the bubble, he could clearly see that his entire body had turned into a fish!
This fish face, this fish belly, these fish scales … He was definitely a carp, not a mermaid!
Li Yu was so scared that his entire body stiffened. He forgot to flap his tail, and his entire fish body sank with a whoosh.
Ahhh, I'm drowning, I'm drowning!
Seeing that he was about to hit a black rock at the bottom of the water, Li Yu desperately swung his tail and used both his fin and tail. Fortunately, he managed to stop before he completely hit the rock. Only his tail accidentally swung onto the rock.
Li Yu, "!!!"
… It hurts so much.
This fish tail was actually not a decoration. He had only just touched it, but it was so painful that Li Yu spat out a long string of bubbles of various sizes.
What's going on? This pain was comparable to cutting his leg with a knife …
Why did the pain in his dream feel so real?
Li Yu's eyes widened slightly. No way, this was not a dream at all. He had really become a fish, and an ordinary carp at that?
Where was this place? How did he transform? He couldn't become a real carp just because his name was Li Yu. The key was whether he could still transform back!
Li Yu's heart was like a galloping horse. Before he could understand anything, he heard a voice in his ear.
A sharp and thin voice said, "Little Lin, the Thousand Carp Soup for Imperial Consort Niangniang's birthday banquet is still missing a live fish!"
Anot,her voice immediatel,y flattered, "Eunuch Gao, this fish turned white just now. This lowly one didn't dare to give it to Imperial Consort Niangniang and was just about to throw it away. The birthday banquet is more important. How about this lowly one immediately prepare another fish …"
Li Yu, "???"
He discovered that there were other people besides him and was secretly delighted. But what Imperial Consort? Eunuch? Did he really transfigure into an ancient imperial fish?
Then what the hell was the Thousand Carp Soup??
Before he could figure it out, a ray of light suddenly appeared above the water where Li Yu was. A crack appeared in the darkness above his head, and a hand that looked quite shocking to Li Yu reached in!
Li Yu almost suffocated. This hand was too big.
After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it wasn't. He had already turned into an ordinary fish. A human's hand was just too big for him.
Li Yu instinctively sensed danger and involuntarily swam around. This hand reached out without any hesitation and clamped down on Li Yu who was like a headless fly.
As a fish, Li Yu no longer had a neck. This hand directly grabbed half of his body. It hurt even more than when he accidentally hit his tail.
Li Yu cried out and used all his strength to swing his tail around.
How could he pinch a fish's chest and stomach? It hurts so much!
However, this person couldn't hear the fish's cries. He chuckled and said, "This fish is really lively. How can it be flipped over? Xiao Linzi, don't tell me you deliberately said that to hide it for your own use?"
As he spoke, the world around him spun. Li Yu caught a glimpse of the place where he came out from. It turned out to be a fish basket. He was already being held by this person and brought in front of him.
Li Yu's fish eyes suddenly saw two people dressed as ancient imperial eunuchs.
The Eunuch Gao who was holding him wasn't tall. Instead, he looked like a round white dough. Xiao Linzi next to him looked like a hemp pole.
Xiao Linzi hurriedly flattered Eunuch Gao and said with a smile, "Eunuch Gao, with you personally holding down the fort, how could this lowly one dare to take advantage of you? This lowly one must have seen wrongly and misunderstood. Since this fish is still alive, this lowly one will take it and make fish soup … "
Li Yu, who was being held by Eunuch Gao, became excited when he heard this. What? Make fish soup!!
Just now, he didn't have time to figure out what Thousand Carp Soup was, but he understood what it meant to make fish soup. Right now, he was a fish. They were going to make him into soup!
Li Yu: Oh, I can pinch you, but I can't make you into soup!
Li Yu used all his strength to struggle. Eunuch Gao originally came into the kitchen to give Xiao Linzi a few words. After that, he planned to give the fish in his hand to Xiao Linzi to deal with. Li Yu was still in his grip for a while. Suddenly, he began to struggle again. This fish's body was slippery, and Eunuch Gao lost his grip. Li Yu actually broke free from his grip and flew out.
Li Yu, who was still struggling in the air and leaving a long trail of water behind him, was speechless.
What should I do? I'm going to die! I'm going to die! Can I still make soup if I fall to my death?!
Wuwuwu, he still didn't understand how he transmigrated into a fish. He didn't want to die. What if he completely died this time?!
Li Yu flew uncontrollably in Xiao Linzi's direction. Xiao Linzi reached out to catch him, but the fish's body was too slippery. Xiao Linzi couldn't hold it properly. Li Yu was about to fall to the ground.
At this time, a long "meow" came from outside. A snow-white shadow scurried over.
Before Li Yu's tail could touch the ground, the white shadow bit him and held him in its mouth.
Li Yu didn't even have time to rejoice that he didn't fall to his death. The scales on his body stood up.
Holy shit, this body, this voice, this is … a big white cat?!
He didn't expect to fall into a cat's mouth right after he escaped from a human!
How could a fish still live after being caught by a cat?!
Li Yu wasn't afraid of cats at all in the past, but after becoming a fish, he was instinctively scared to death. The cat's tongue was full of barbs. Would he lose a large piece of fish meat if he licked it?
Li Yu was so scared that he didn't dare to move. When he thought of being eaten by the white cat until only a pile of fish bones was left, he felt that he would rather go and make soup.
The big white cat that suddenly appeared ignored Eunuch Gao and Xiao Linzi. It ran out with the fish in its mouth.
This unforeseen event happened too quickly. Xiao Linzi only just reacted.
"Eunuch Gao, the fish … the fish was taken away by the cat!"
This white cat was fat and strong … It looked a little familiar.
Eunuch Gao came back to his senses and kicked Xiao Linzi hard.
"What are you in a daze for? Can't you see whose cat this is? This is the cat raised by the imperial concubine! Xiao Linzi, quickly follow it. The cat master is delicate. Don't let the cat master get a fish bone stuck on it. Otherwise, the imperial concubine will make us suffer the consequences! After all, the cat raised by the masters is also half a master … "
"Aye!"
Xiao Linzi bitterly agreed. In this day and age, he couldn't afford to offend the cat master.
Li Yu was held in the big white cat's mouth and chased after Xiao Linzi. He also heard Eunuch Gao's words. He originally hoped that Eunuch Gao and Xiao Linzi would get him out of the cat's mouth. After all, he was an ingredient for the fish soup. He was more or less useful. It turned out that they didn't care about a fish at all and didn't plan to save him. Instead, they were worried that the cat would get a fish bone stuck on it?
How could there be such a person who changed the rudder according to the wind?!
Li Yu was very angry, but he had no other choice. He could only use all his strength to try to slip out of the cat's mouth again.
However, the white cat wasn't the arrogant Eunuch Gao. It also didn't have the habit of running and eating at the same time. It held Li Yu in its mouth seriously. Li Yu moved around, but the white cat's sharp teeth didn't loosen. Instead, it tightened its grip on him.
Li Yu didn't dare to move. He stayed in the cat's mouth obediently. Only the tip of his tail could be seen shaking.
It was too scary. Li Yu couldn't help but shout, "Help! Who can save me!"
Anyone would be fine. As long as he could get out of the cat's mouth, he would be willing to be an ox or a horse for the rest of his life!
However, the fish's words weren't heard by humans, and the cat didn't respond either.
The big white cat was unimpeded. Along the way, there were countless people who saw the white cat, but none of them stepped forward to stop it.
It was really as Eunuch Gao said. The cat raised by the masters was also half a master.
Just when Li Yu was crying for help, the white cat grabbed the floor tiles with its four paws and slammed on the brakes. It came to a sudden stop.
Li Yu felt the cat's teeth tighten again. "!!!"
The white cat's bright eyes stared straight ahead. Its throat made a vigilant growl, as if it was facing a great enemy. Li Yu felt the change in the white cat and hurriedly looked forward.
