Li Yu was overjoyed. It turned out that there were still people who didn't flatter the cat master!
If a cat's IQ was that of a two-year-old child, then this big white cat was a spoiled child. It had been born with whatever it wanted, and no one dared to stop it. Now that it had a fish in its mouth, someone dared to block its way. The white cat angrily spun around twice and decided to teach this person a lesson. It continued to hold the fish in its mouth and slammed it into the young man's leg.
… Bang!!!
The white cat slammed into the young man's leg so hard that Li Yu, who was in the cat's mouth, could feel the cat's body tensing up.
However, the young man didn't move at all.
"Meow!" The white cat let out a pitiful cry and was bounced away by the other party's hard leg. The cat's mouth loosened and Li Yu was overjoyed. She took the opportunity to roll out of the cat's mouth and landed on the ground quickly.
Because the cat master wasn't tall, he didn't suffer too much impact when he fell to the ground.
The white cat was stunned. It meowed and was about to pounce on Li Yu. Li Yu had finally escaped from the cat's mouth. How could he let the cat pounce on him again? In a moment of desperation, he frantically swung his tail and bounced up high. With a "pa" sound, his fishtail slapped the cat's mouth!
The white cat: "…"
Li Yu: "…"
No way. He just wanted to escape. How did it turn into slapping the cat's face??
Li Yu felt very guilty. As a fish, he dared to slap the cat's face. Was he going to be eaten soon?
The white cat was a little annoyed by the sudden slap. It raised its paw and slammed it down hard.
The cat's sharp claws were like steel nails on Li Yu. Li Yu continued to flafish'ss paw. Ow, don't hit my head. It hurts!
A fish takes such a scene in front of a cat. It wasn't easy for it not to be swallowed.
Was his reputation going to be buried in the cat's mouth?
Li Yu, who was under the cat's paw, was in pain all over. The tip of his tail trembled unwillingly.
Then, he a pair of black cloud-climbing boots slowly approaching him from afar.
It turned out that when the white cat caught him again, the finely dressed youth had also noticed the commotion.
Li Yu didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the young man was intentionally or unintentionally glancing in his direction.
But how was that possible? Even Eunuch Gao and Xiao Linzi did not spare him any extra attention. Judging from the young man's fine clothes, his status was definitely not low. Would such a person pay attention to a small fish like him?
The strength of a fish was really limited. Li Yu was almost unable to lift his tail. He quietly lay there without moving, gathering his last bit of strength and breathing with difficulty.
Fish couldn't leave the water for too long, and being bitten and scratched by a cat was even worse. He was too pitiful. He had both.
Right at this moment, the young man lifted his robe and squatted down. Li Yu saw a handsome face getting bigger and bigger …
This was an extremely handsome face that was as cold as ice. His hair was like a knife, his eyes were like cold stars, his lips were red, his teeth were white, and his skin was as white as jade. Even if Song Yu and Pan An were alive, they would not be comparable.
Li Yu's compliments were limited, and they quickly ran out in the fish's mind. When he was still a human, he was very confident in his appearance and felt that he was very good-looking. Did the heavens know that he was about to die, and before he died, they let him meet a celestial beauty who was even better looking than him, so that he could die of jealousy?
When a fish was about to die, his words were kind. Well, to be honest, he was only a little jealous.
Li Yu's mind began to uncontrollably let his thoughts run wild. It was commonly known as the final radiance of the setting sun. Suddenly, his body became lighter. The big white cat unwillingly cried out in his ears, but the sharp cat paw that was firmly suppressing him had already left him!
Li Yu could not believe his luck. He tried to shake his fish body. Although it was still very painful, he … could really move.
What was going on? Why would the big white cat let him go for no reason?
Li Yu looked up slightly. The big white cat … it was meowing in the air!
The well-dressed youth grabbed the fur on the cat's back and unceremoniously lifted it up.
Although the cat was sturdy, its body was snow-white, and its sapphire-like eyes were glistening. At a glance, one could tell that it was a rare breed. Ordinary people, even if they did not give face to the imperial concubine, would still feel pity for this white ball of fur.
However, the youth's expression was indifferent, as if he did not care about the white cat at all.
Although Li Yu was surprised, he felt that there was finally some hope for his fish life.
Thank the heavens, and thank the handsome man!!
The white cat was forced to leave the ground and abandon the fish. It let out a mournful roar and scratched wildly with its four claws. If it were other people, they might be scared, but for the young man who was tall, it did not pose a threat at all.
When Xiao Linzi, who had just arrived, saw this scene, his legs went soft and he knelt down.
Li Yu was a little surprised in addition to the pain. What was Xiao Linzi doing? Could it be that he was kneeling down to save him, an ingredient?
It turned out that he was thinking too much. Xiao Linzi knelt down in front of the well-dressed youth and repeatedly kowtowed to the youth. He said incoherently, "Your Highness King Jing, this, this is the master cat raised by the imperial concubine. Please have mercy …"
Li Yu, "…"
So this youth was a king, and his name was King Jing?
Li Yu did not have any special reaction to the imperial concubine and the eunuch, but for some reason, the name King Jing sounded a little familiar.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind. His fish life was at stake, and Li Yu had no time to think about other things.
The well-dressed youth, King Jing, snorted coldly. His deep eyes swept over Xiao Linzi, and he did not move his hand that was holding the big white cat. He had no intention of letting it go.
At first, the big white cat was still meowing vigorously, but later, it became hoarse and its cries became softer and softer. King Jing was exuding an oppressive aura, so he turned a deaf ear to it. Xiao Linzi knelt on the ground, and more and more sweat beaded on his forehead.
Li Yu lay on the ground. This King Jing had saved him by capturing the big white cat that had bullied him. Li Yu was very grateful, but if no one took care of him and put him back into the water, he would become a dead fish!
What should he do …
Li Yu weakly curled up the tip of his tail, but no one could hear his thoughts.
"Your Highness, Your Highness … Wait for me, I'm coming!"
Another unknown figure rushed over from afar, shouting and wrangling.
This was an elderly eunuch. He stopped between King Jing and Xiao Linzi and took a deep breath.
"Eunuch Wang Xi, you're here!" Xiao Linzi thought that he had seen his savior, and his eyes lit up. He hurriedly bowed and said, "I beg you, please help me speak to His Highness King Jing …"
The person who came was King Jing's personal eunuch, Wang Xi.
"What do you mean?" Wang Xi took a deep breath and carefully observed King Jing's expression. He then glared at Xiao Linzi fiercely and said, "This cat ran over and offended His Highness. Why? Can't His Highness punish it?"
Xiao Linzi felt dizzy and stammered, "But this is the Imperial Concubine's cat master …"
Wang Xi had already recognized the white cat. He was furious when he mentioned it, "It's just a cat. How dare it pretend to be its master in front of His Highness? Bah!"
"Wang, Eunuch Wang …"
Xiao Linzi felt that he had said something wrong and quickly covered his mouth. The Imperial Concubine's cat was half a master in the eyes of the servants, but it was nothing in front of the real son of the Emperor.
Wang Xi spat at Xiao Linzi and scolded him majestically. Xiao Linzi trembled all over and lowered his head, not daring to speak.
After Wang Xi finished scolding, he turned around and looked at King Jing inquiringly. King Jing's cold eyes moved. Wang Xi understood and immediately turned around and scolded loudly, "This cat offended His Highness. His Highness just punished it a little. What's the hurry?"
The cat in King Jing's hand had failed in its attempt to show off its power. It had already lost its temper. Now, it seemed to know that it had scratched an iron plate. It finally restrained its temper and stuck out its pink tongue to meow softly.
Most people would be soft-hearted at this time.
However, King Jing wasn't an ordinary person.
King Jing waited for the cat to stop meowing. He tactfully lowered his head and slowly threw the big white cat in the direction of Xiao Linzi. The cat wasn't afraid of heights. After it left King Jing's hand, it hurriedly jumped into Xiao Linzi's arms. Xiao Linzi didn't have much meat on his body. He was hit in the chest and almost vomited blood.
Wang Xi coughed softly, "His Highness is in a good mood today. He just punished it a little. Keep an eye on it. If there's a next time … Haha, I've never seen anyone dare to offend His Highness twice in my life."
"I know!" Xiao Linzi kowtowed again and again.
King Jing waved his hand indifferently. Wang Xi spat at Xiao Linzi again and was about to leave with King Jing.
They were leaving now?
Li Yu waited impatiently for a long time. However, King Jing, who had saved him and even looked at him a little more, didn't seem to want to continue saving him.
It was already very difficult for Li Yu to survive from the cat's mouth. Since no one could understand what he said, he could only gather the last of his strength and try to curl his tail. His messy tail gently hit the ground once, twice.
This almost inaudible cry for help made people feel desperate.
Li Yu was about to give up again and again, but he kept persuading himself to hold on. Maybe there would be a miracle if he persisted.
Until he couldn't wave his tail anymore, the miracle didn't happen.
The cloud-climbing boots that had saved him once didn't stay for him again.
Li Yu gradually lost consciousness. His tail stopped moving and the air around him gradually condensed.
King Jing had already walked a few feet away. Suddenly, he stopped and turned around. A trace of surprise flashed through his cold eyes.
"Your Highness, what … what's wrong with you?" Wang Xi looked back in confusion.
Linzi had already run away with the white cat, so there shouldn't be anyone else here.
King Jing frowned and made a gesture to keep quiet. He walked back while paying attention to his feet. Not long after, he arrived at his original position.
Wang Xi followed closely behind and saw King Jing looking down as if he was looking for something.
Suddenly, King Jing stopped in his tracks and bent down.
"Your Highness, you can't do that. What do you want? I'll do it for you!"
Wang Xi shouted to stop King Jing, but King Jing stubbornly pulled Wang Xi away and personally picked up something from the ground …
To be exact, it was a fish the size of a palm.
This was a fish that had been held in the mouth of a cat and was covered in scars.
"Your Highness, this …"
Wasn't this a very common carp? Why did His Highness insist on coming here to see this fish?
Wang Xi was bewildered. For the first time, he realized that there were times when he didn't understand His Highness.
King Jing hesitated for a moment, then reached out and touched the fish tail with his fingertips.
The tail gently and listlessly patted the ground.
King Jing: "…"
King Jing's face darkened, but he picked up the fish with unusual gentleness and held it in his hands.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, let me do it!"
Wang Xi hurriedly opened his sleeves to take the fish.
King Jing shook his head and walked straight to the nearest palace with the fish in his hands …
Li Yu, who was in a daze, felt a long-lost warmth in his discomfort as if it came from the quilt and pillow.
Sob, sob, sob. Life as a fish was too difficult. Was he going to die soon and become a human again?
If he could become a human again, the suffering would be worth it.
