Recap
The servant was stunned: “Sir, are you sure you want to free up a swimming pool to raise a… carp?”
“Is one not enough?” Gu Minghuai thought for a moment, “Then give it the outdoor swimming pool too. It’s good to go out for some fresh air occasionally.”
Servant: “……”
Blood Jade Bracelet: ……
Rong Yu: It’s really different. This person is more showy than me.
He added cheerfully: But I like it.
___
Rong Yu soon arrived at his new home.
The entire indoor swimming pool is about 25 meters long and 12 meters wide. It is used to raise a five-pound carp. In the eyes of outsiders, it is a waste of space.
However, a wealthy fish never has just one set of properties. He not only occupies an indoor one, but also an outdoor one.
Gu Minghuai carried the plastic bag up to the fourth floor, squatted by the swimming pool, and poured the carp into the swimming pool.
Rong Yu swam out of the plastic bag and got very close to Gu Minghuai’s palm. With a thought in his mind, he felt a strong aura from Gu Minghuai.
It’s incredible.
This world is in the Dharma-Ending Age, and the spiritual energy in the air is so thin that it is almost negligible, so it is nonsense to start cultivating again. Other Divine Envoys can also exchange props from the system mall to transform into human form, but Rong Yu is most likely to live in this world as a carp forever and wait to die.
But he actually felt spiritual energy from Gu Minghuai, a mortal.
In order to verify it, Rong Yu swam over and rubbed his body against Gu Minghuai’s palm to confirm that it was not an illusion. The spiritual energy really emanates from Gu Minghuai, and it is more powerful than the Xianxia* worlds that Rong Yu originally lived in. It can even be continuously transmitted to Rong Yu through physical contact.
*(cultivation worlds)
Rong Yu quickly took the opportunity to take a big gulp, and instantly felt that his body was filled with a lot of spiritual energy, which was more useful than any sun and moon essence.
This guy has a lot of background.
The moment the skin of Gu Minghuai’s palm touched the fish scales, he immediately withdrew his hands and separated them at the first touch. Obviously, coming into contact with something as slimy as fish scales made him suffer from mysophobia, so he quickly washed his hand in the pool water.
Rong Yu hadn’t had enough yet, so he swam over and rubbed the man’s fingers to continue absorbing the spiritual energy.
Only through physical contact can one obtain spiritual energy, and only when the spiritual energy is sufficient can one transform into another form. Most people would never touch a fish without any reason. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and should not be wasted.
Gu Minghuai didn’t expect the carp to follow him, and continue to press against his palm. He frowned and almost wanted to strangle the fish to death.
The reason he didn’t put this idea into action was that he didn’t want to touch it.
Gu Minghuai wanted to pull his hand away and leave, but the carp actually held his fingertips in his mouth and refused to let him go.
Gu Minghuai’s expression was visibly gloomy, and he once again began to wonder why he had to bring back a fish from the market.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the carp biting on his fingertips: “Can’t bear to part with me?”
Rong Yu said: I can’t bear to part with your spiritual energy.
Gu Minghuai said expressionlessly: “Xiao Yu’er*, you are very beautiful. You should cherish life and don’t make me angry.”
*(Little fish)
The red scales on this body are particularly gorgeous and are among the most vibrant among other carps.
Rong Yu: He can actually see through the appearance to the essence and discover my unparalleled beauty.
Blood Jade Bracelet: The focus is on the second half of the sentence.
Rong Yu ignored it, and seized the time to absorb the spiritual energy.
Gu Minghuai didn’t have the patience to play with a carp for a long time, so he quickly broke away and left. He walked in a hurry, probably going to the bathroom to wash off three layers of skin from the inside and outside of his hands.
Rong Yu was forced to let go and watched him leave reluctantly.
The spiritual energy entering his body is like a cow entering the sea, it is a drop in the bucket, and it is far from enough to transform. Rong Yu swung his tail, thinking about when the next opportunity would be.
Cats and dogs can sell moe when their fur is stroked. The scales of carp are slippery and can only be used for viewing, few people would want to touch them.
Not to mention that Gu Minghuai is still a germaphobe.
If this goes on, he will have to wait donkey’s years to accumulate enough spiritual energy to transform into a human form.
Don’t be too hasty in everything. Having a breakthrough like Gu Minghuai is an unexpected blessing. Rong Yu swam several laps in the swimming pool, the small basin and plastic bags were suffocating him before.
He was raised in the pool by Gu Minghuai, and his fate of being made into braised carp had been changed. He no longer has to worry about his life. However, the original owner’s soul lamp only grew slightly longer, and the candle flame changed from dying to flickering on and off.
A satisfactory ending cannot be achieved by avoiding the death line.
Thinking about it, for a demon who has cultivated human form and developed spiritual wisdom, living forever in a little carp body is more uncomfortable than death.
If he wants to create a HE, he has to get the inner dan back.
A demon can only cultivate one inner dan in his life. Only with the inner dan can he have spiritual powers and maintain his human form for a long time. Although he can transform by absorbing the spiritual energy from Gu Minghuai, it is only temporary. He must always be tied to Gu Minghuai. Once Gu Minghuai leaves, he will immediately return to his original form.
Now he doesn’t know where the original owner’s inner dan has gone. He must first become a human before he can learn more about the past.
Therefore, the current task is to strive for the opportunity to have physical contact with Gu Minghuai and absorb enough spiritual energy.
Rong Yu: Little Bracelet.
Blood Jade Bracelet: Not here.
Rong Yu’s tone was firm: Gu Minghuai is not from this world.
Blood Jade Bracelet: ……
Rong Yu: The aura in him is not something that can be found in this Dharma-Ending Age.
The entire Blood Jade Bracelet became wooden.
The Lord God is the Lord of all gods and brings blessings to all living beings. The land he steps on will be extremely fertile, and the creatures growing on that land will become immortals. It is understandable that the spiritual energy will be abundant, even in this age, it has only weakened to this extent.
But in the small worlds, the Lord God can turn off the emission of his energy, but he didn’t. What is the purpose of opening an easy path for Rong Yu?
The Blood Jade Bracelet is puzzled. It was the Lord God himself who said that in order to punish Rong Yu, he would not give Rong Yu any system plug-ins, and would not allow the Blood Jade Bracelet to provide any help to Rong Yu.
It never expected that this meant that the Lord God would come in person to be Rong Yu’s plug-in…
The Blood Jade Bracelet is trying to cover up: I don’t know.
Rong Yu: Really? I don’t believe you.
The Blood Jade Bracelet pretended to be dead and made no sound.
Fortunately, Rong Yu thought about it and didn’t think in the direction of the Lord God. That selfless, ruthless man who had hunted him for hundreds of worlds was his sworn enemy. No matter what, Rong Yu never expected that this sworn enemy would come to pay him a visit.
This is so unbelievable.
Rong Yu: No matter who he is, he is a good person if he can help me. Unlike your master, who only knows how to cause trouble for me.
Blood Jade Bracelet: …Haha.
Unfortunately, the person you sent the good guy card to is this ones’ owner.
___
Rong Yu stayed in the swimming pool. A fish’s life was very leisurely and boring.
Mr. Gu is a busy person with many things to do. It is common for him to work overtime and sleep in the company. When he gets home, he goes to the bedroom or works in the study. He rarely comes to the fourth floor to watch the fish.
After all, no matter how beautiful he looks, he is just a carp, and he will still be like that even after watching him for a long time.
Rong Yu was fed by the servants, and he occasionally moved to the outdoor swimming pool to bask in the sun. It was harder to see Gu Minghuai than to reach the sky.
Every day he swims from one end of the swimming pool to the other, and then from that end to this end, swimming straight, swimming in circles, swimming without direction… He has developed various fancy swimming patterns, vividly showing how a fish can be when bored to that extent.
Thanks to the large size of the swimming pool, if it were to be replaced by a smaller fish tank, Rong Yu would be uncomfortable to death.
Although he doesn’t feel any better now.
Rong Yu was so bored that he vomited: This can’t go on. Why doesn’t Gu Minghuai come to see me?
The Blood Jade Bracelet never misses any opportunity to taunt the Great Demon King: You seem to be a resentful wife.
Rong Yu: Is it useful if I go on a hunger strike? Can it get his attention?
Blood Jade Bracelet: You’re acting more like it now.
Rong Yu: Is it useful? Then, I’ll do it.
Blood Jade Bracelet: ……
Are they really on the same channel???
So the servants in Gu’s house discovered that the fish raised by their master seemed to be depressed.
The specific signs included not eating, being too lazy to swim, and not responding to anyone’s calls. It looked sick even after they moved it out to bask in the sun, which was in stark contrast to the cheerful and lively days of the past few days.
This situation lasted for several days. The servants were worried about raising the fish to death, so they finally informed Gu Minghuai of the situation.
“Sir.” The servant knocked on the study door.
Gu Minghuai was flipping through company documents and said without raising his head: “Come in.”
The servant walked into the study: “Sir, the carp you brought back a few days ago doesn’t eat, drink, or swim. I don’t know if it’s sick.”
Gu Minghuai frowned. There were so many things going on these days that he almost forgot that he had a fish at home.
It’s not a big deal if a fish gets sick. Many people’s fish will die when they die, and the worst they can do is get a new one. Gu Minghuai thought of the way the carp rubbed against him several times that day, which was like a psychological shadow.
But if it dies…He doesn’t know why, he feels a little strange.
Gu Minghuai put down the documents: “I’ll go take a look.”
Rong Yu floated on the water leisurely while turning around on his belly lazily. When he saw Gu Minghuai coming in, he immediately revitalized himself and swam quickly to the edge of the swimming pool.
Oh, big brother, you are finally here. If you don’t come, I won’t make any progress in my mission.
Gu Minghuai looked at the carp swimming happily toward him, tilted his head and asked, “Isn’t it very energetic?”
Servant: “…It wasn’t like this two days ago.”
Gu Minghuai took the fish feed and sprinkled some onto the water. The carp didn’t even look at it, just stared up at him.
Gu Minghuai raised his eyebrows, crouched down and stared at it, his tone calm: “Xiao Yu’er, I heard that you haven’t eaten in the past two days?”
Rong Yu didn’t eat the fish food scattered on the water, but jumped out of the water with a splash and pecked the back of Gu Minghuai’s hand.
The carp came out of the water, and the splash immediately wet Gu Minghuai’s shirt.
“Yes, sir,” the servant exclaimed, “Please stay back.”
Gu Minghuai’s forehead veins twitched, he closed his eyes and said patiently: “It’s okay, you can go and do your work.”
The servant hesitated: “Okay.”
Shockingly, Mr. Gu, who has severe mysophobia, was not angry after his clothes got wet and his hand was pecked by a fish.
The servant left the swimming pool, and there was only one person and one fish left in the room.
Gu Minghuai pulled his lower lip: “Xiao Yu’er, you are so picky. If you don’t want to eat the fish food on the water, you have to eat the food in my hand.”
Rong Yu jumped hard and wanted to jump again.
With that touch just now, he inhaled some spiritual energy.
Gu Minghuai raised his eyebrows and raised his wrist: “Jump.”
Rong Yu sneered, is this training a dog?
So be it. That energy is the most important thing.
Gu Minghuai watched the carp jump out of the water again, but this time the height set was too high and it fell back in mid-air.
Gu Minghuai’s expression showed a hint of interest.
Is it a coincidence, or do you really understand?
Gu Minghuai lowered his wrist. This time Rong Yu succeeded and took another breath of spiritual energy.
Gu Minghuai was touched by Rong Yu again, maybe it was because he was familiar with it after a few times, this time he was not so resistant. He made mental preparations for a while, reluctantly reached into the water, spread his palms and said, “Eat.”
Rong Yu swam into his palm, seemingly eating the fish food in Gu Minghuai’s hand, but in fact he was absorbing spiritual energy.
Gu Minghuai curled his lips slightly: “They said you don’t eat. Why do you eat so happily when I come here? You fishes still wait for others to serve the dishes?”
Rong Yu took Gu Minghuai’s finger in his mouth.
Gu Minghuai’s lips curved: “Let go.”
It would be strange if Rong Yu listened to him.
Gu Minghuai threatened coldly: “If you don’t let go, I’ll make you become a braised carp.”
Rong Yu turns a deaf ear, who are you trying to scare?
Gu Minghuai changed his sentence again: “I won’t feed you anymore.”
Rong Yu immediately let go this time.
For the sake of a long-term sustainable relationship, be patient for a while.
Gu Minghuai found it interesting: “Do you want me to feed you?” Otherwise, why would you be so obedient?
After asking this question, he felt ridiculous that he was actually having a serious conversation with a fish. Gu Minghuai has grown so old, but today he realizes that he still has a childlike innocence and can do such childish things.
Unexpectedly, the carp in the pond nodded.
Gu Minghuai paused: “Can you understand what I’m saying?”
Rong Yu nodded again slowly.
Gu Minghuai’s expression condensed slightly and he asked tentatively: “Turn three times?”
Rong Yu didn’t react at all this time, just stared at him.
Everything is done in moderation. He has shown enough differences to attract attention. If he is too smart, he might scare him off.
The doubts in Gu Minghuai’s eyes disappeared, and he guessed it was a coincidence.
He is a materialist, and at most he thinks this carp is somewhat spiritual.
“Okay.” Gu Minghuai couldn’t help but nodded his head, “I will come to feed you often in the future.”
He stood up, feeling a little strange about himself today. Did his mysophobia suddenly go away? Otherwise, why would he feed this fish without any objection and even touch the fish’s head? Normally he would never do this.
Gu Minghuai walked out of the swimming pool room calmly, stopped at the door, and looked down at his hand that had touched the fish scales. The fingers were long and slender, covered with clear water droplets, and looked clean. The fingertips seemed to still have the smooth touch of stroking fish scales.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
…
Gu Minghuai couldn’t maintain his calm expression, so he quickly rushed into the bathroom and turned on the faucet, applied soap and rubbed it repeatedly, washing his hands frantically.
Sure enough it was still very dirty.
