Chapter 3: The carp leaps over the Dragon Gate

Recap

Rong Yu: Is this the aunty you were talking about?

Blood Jade Bracelet: ……

Rong Yu: I didn’t do anything. The person who bought the original owner has changed. Is there a bug on your part?

Blood Jade Bracelet: …No comments.

Don’t ask, it’s confused too.

Why did the Lord God appear here ???

___

Even though they don’t have the same face, as the Lord God’s natal artifact, how could the Blood Jade Bracelet not be able to sense that person’s soul.

Shouldn’t the Lord God be guarding over the World of Gods?

The Blood Jade Bracelet couldn’t answer Rong Yu’s question for the moment. In order to seal Rong Yu’s power, the Lord God split his natal artifact, the Red Gold Sun Bracelet, into two. One half became the golden tail ring on the Lord God’s finger, and the other half became the red jade bracelet on Rong Yu’s wrist. The separated part of the Blood Jade Bracelet cannot contact the main god in the small world.

So it doesn’t know what the situation is now.

The Blood Jade Bracelet disappeared silently, and went to find out the identity of the Lord God in this world.

Gu Minghuai, 28 years old, single, vegetarian, allergic to fish, and severely mysophobic. A standard iceberg CEO with a net worth of hundreds of billions. He is a big shot who can shake up Zhanghua City with just a stomp of his feet.

Such a prominent identity, it is simply the standard benchmark for a Child of Luck.

But in the world numbered 4082, there was no such person as Gu Minghuai.

It was the Lord God who set this identity, background, appearance and name for himself. He has currently lost his own body, memory and power, and completely thinks of himself as Gu Minghuai.

The Lord God has the authority to create an identity and go on vacation in the small worlds. His actions are not dictated by fate and he has full autonomy. Therefore, Lord God was able to step in and buy the carp before the Auntie, which caused a deviation in the original world direction.

But the Blood Jade Bracelet still doesn’t understand what the Lord God is up to. Is he so bored that he abandoned his memory and came to experience life? If it’s a vacation, why did he purposefully choose to take a vacation in this punishment world Rong Yu is in?

Rong Yu’s identity in this world is that of a fish, yet the Lord God specially set himself up as a vegetarian and allergic to fish… Could it be that he came here specifically for the Great Demon King?

The Blood Jade Bracelet is too terrified to think about.

In its confusion, Gu Minghuai had already walked to his car. A silver-gray Bentley worth tens of millions was parked at the entrance of the market, attracting many people to watch and take photos. Gu Minghuai pressed the remote and the indicator light flashed twice. He opened the car door and got in while everyone looked at him with envy. He put the plastic bag containing Rong Yu on the passenger seat.

When he was about to start the car, he held the steering wheel and paused, feeling that he had overlooked something.

Gu Minghuai looked at the passenger seat, his cold eyes lowered, as if he could see through the red plastic bag and see the red carp inside.

He pulled down the seat belt and buckled it around the plastic bag, then drove without any worries.

Rong Yu: Does he have any disease?

The Blood Jade Bracelet subconsciously defended its master: No, he was thinking about your safety.

Rong Yu: I think you are also a little sick.

Blood Jade Bracelet: ……

___

The car drove smoothly on the road, and the trees outside the window kept moving.

The man’s handsome and calm features were reflected in the rearview mirror. His slender hands rested on the steering wheel, and the golden light of the setting sun shone through the car window, making the gold ring on his pinkie finger shine brightly.

It’s not a nouveau riche-style big gold ring, but a thin ring of gold on the pinkie finger, like the halo around the sun. The top is carved into the shape of the sun, with simple textures, like the decoration on the hands of the sun god in ancient Greek mythology. It is bright, luxurious, noble and valuable at first sight.

Rong Yu couldn’t see the scenery along the way and could only pass the time by chatting with the Blood Jade Bracelet: Is this my hearse leading to heaven? Will I be steamed, fried, sweet and sour or braised tonight?

Blood Jade Bracelet: …No.

Rong Yu: Why not? This is not a flea market. Would anyone come to the vegetable market to buy an ornamental fish?

Blood Jade Bracelet: Some, such as Gu Minghuai.

Rong Yu: He is a rich man.

Blood Jade Bracelet echoed: The richest man in Zhanghua City.

Rong Yu learned the man’s identity and continued to make insinuations quietly: How are you sure Gu Minghuai won’t eat fish?

The Blood Jade Bracelet fell into a trap without realizing it: He is allergic to fish meat.

Rong Yu: Why did he come to the market to buy fish in person?

The Blood Jade Bracelet also doesn’t understand Lord God’s motives: How would I know——

The Blood Jade Bracelet suddenly felt horrified and quickly shut up.

The big devil is trying to trick it.

As the supervisor, it should not provide any additional help to Rong Yu, including information about the man’s identity. But now, it not only told Rong Yu the identity of the man, but also revealed that the other party was allergic to fish.

It was easily tricked into letting Rong Yu know that it could conduct identity inquiries on characters in the small worlds.

Compared to the identity of Lord God, Gu Minghuai’s personal information is not that important. It is purely a fictional character anyway. In order to keep the big secret, it revealed insignificant small details in the seemingly casual chat… But no matter what it was, it was not something it should have said, it was because it let its guard down.

The big devil is indeed a big devil, cunning and slippery, and he can catch someone unaware.

It just hope that the big devil never discovered anything unusual.

The Blood Jade Bracelet decided to be very alert and no longer be fooled easily. The big devil is a clever talker.

Rong Yu saw that the Blood Jade Bracelet had become more vigilant so he stopped asking any more questions. Anyway, he had already obtained the information he wanted.

He came to this world and without exerting any efforts, the person who bought him was not the aunt who should have been in the original world, but this man named Gu Minghuai.

It was definitely not a butterfly effect caused by his arrival, he didn’t flap his wings at all.

The variable is this man.

The Blood Jade Bracelet would not provide him with any help, but he could infer Gu Minghuai’s identity easily. This was not a stupid mistake that the Lord God would make with his natal artifact. It shows that in the subconscious of the Blood Jade Bracelet, there is a more important identity that needs to be hidden. Compared with that, Gu Minghuai’s identity is just a surface, and it is no big deal to tell him. Moreover, the other layer of identity, the Blood Jade Bracelet, had just learned about it. It also had no idea that the other party would come to the market to buy him, so it was also surprised. Revealing a flaw that cannot be concealed.

The Blood Jade Bracelet knew the man’s hidden identity, but obviously would not tell him.

Are they other missionaries from the Space-Time Management Bureau? To save the Child of Destiny? Rong Yu thought.

It shouldn’t be. The Space-Time Management Bureau has many departments that perform their own duties, and the departments will not issue conflicting tasks.

The mission of the Salvation Department is to travel into the bodies of passers-by, save the fallen Children of Destiny, and pull them out of adversity. The mission of the Restoration Department is to travel into the body of the Children of Destiny themselves, make a comeback, and prevent the world from collapsing. The latter task is more difficult, requires a higher degree of completion, and the rewards are more generous – of course, for Rong Yu, it is a waste of merit, and there are no rewards.

Both are essentially rescue operations for the Children of Destiny. Rong Yu has already accepted this mission, so there will be no second person tasked with the mission coming to this world to save the original owner.

So an illegal transmigrator?

The Space-Time Management Bureau is a legal traveling agency, but where there are legal travelers, there are also illegal travelers. Those phenomena that affect the original world trajectory due to time and space loopholes, world bugs or intentional use of time travel, rebirth, binding to various miscellaneous systems, etc. are all illegal activities. For example, you can change your destiny after rebirth by using system plug-ins to allow the cannon fodder to counterattack; attacking the Child of Destiny to seize their fates… These actions that change the original world trajectory may cause instability in the world and lead to the collapse of the world.

Under the main god, each small world has its own patron saint. When illegal activities are detected, the Guardian Saint of the Small World will come forward to enforce the law. If the Guardian Saint is unable to do anything or cannot take care of it, the Space-Time Management Bureau will send an envoy to solve the problem.

As a wanted criminal, Rong Yu does not have high political awareness. He felt that there was no difference in some aspects between what illegal travelers and legal Divine Envoys did.

When a person tries to illegally match up two people who are not a couple in the first place, it is called chaotic pairing. People who use illegal means to coax one party of the original CP to pursue another person are deceiving others’ feelings, ruining marriages, and disrupting their destiny, which is a heinous crime.

But Rong Yu has no feelings for the princess of the Celestial Clan, however, because fate wants them to be a couple, and a group of Divine Envoys insists on bringing them together. Later, he was attacked by a group of gods in turn, and he was also deceived. If he hadn’t understood everything, he would have been played with by others like a fool.

Those Divine Envoys are all righteous. Because everything is dictated by fate, Rong Yu must have feelings for his fated pair, so they are fighting for world peace.

In the name of world order and destiny, a person’s will can be ignored.

Rong Yu is a rebel and an egoist. He cannot force himself to accept his destiny for the sake of world balance, and spends a miserable life in self-deception. The word “accommodating” does not exist in his bones.

Rather than living in a cocoon of greatness in the golden cage carefully woven for him by fate, he chose to give up all of his luck and pursue the freedom of being a fugitive.

Coming back to the topic, no matter what the situation is, Gu Minghuai will not be an ordinary person.

___

Gu Minghuai is allergic to fish and never eats fish. To be more precise, he avoids any fishes.

Too dirty.

Half an hour ago, Gu Minghuai drove home after getting off from work. The company is not far from his home and can be reached directly in ten minutes. He commutes between his home and the company every day. The maid would cook dinner, so he never had to worry about grocery shopping.

Today, he seemed to be attracted by something. He took a twenty-minute detour and went to a vegetable market that he had never set foot in before, and accidentally bought back a carp.

It’s the one on the passenger seat.

But why did he buy a fish?

Gu Minghuai fell into deep thought.

Forget it, I bought everything, take it back and keep it.

Gu Minghuai drove the car home and entered a European-style mansion with a plastic bag. The dazzling interior decoration was very high-profile and luxurious.

Rong Yu said critically: This house is so small, am I going to live here?

He prefers a flamboyant, luxurious and gorgeous style palace, and this mansion perfectly fits his aesthetic. Yet, of course, it’s still far behind compared to his previous palace. With people under the roof, it’s just a make do.

The Blood Jade Bracelet poured cold water on him: You should wake up, you are a fish now, it’s not bad to even have a fish tank for you to live in.

Rong Yu: Then I want a fish tank as big as a whole room.

The Blood Jade Bracelet laughed: Do you think everyone is as showy as you?

“Sir.” The servant of the Gu family came up to Gu Minghuai and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw the carp in Gu Minghuai’s hand. “Are there any guests coming tonight? Leave the fish to me and I’ll take it to the kitchen.”

His master has a taboo on fish, so this fish should only be to entertain guests.

Gu Minghuai did not give the plastic bag to the servant: “I bought it to raise it.”

The servant immediately said: “Then I’ll order a fish tank.”

“No need.” Gu Minghuai said lightly, “Just keep it in the swimming pool on the fourth floor. Remember to change the water and feed it.”

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.
