Recap
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.
___
Gu Minghuai kept his promise, and since then he has been responsible for feeding Rong Yu. He comes to the swimming pool every night to feed him and talk to Rong Yu.
He still has severe mysophobia and hates the slimy feel of the carp’s scales. However, Rong Yu would not eat the food that was spilled on the water. He had to eat it from Gu Minghuai’s hands, and he couldn’t wear gloves, so it was very difficult to serve.
Under Rong Yu’s hunger strike, Gu Minghuai’s mysophobia was forced to become intermittent attacks. There are no taboos when feeding the fish, and he becomes a hand-washing addict as soon as he leaves the swimming pool room.
Every time he washed his hands under the faucet, Gu Minghuai couldn’t help but look in the mirror and ask himself, why should he care about the life and death of a carp? So what if it starves to death?
But the next time he entered the swimming pool room and saw the carp swimming towards him happily, Gu Minghuai’s mood improved inexplicably, so he compromised and fed it himself.
Seeing that Xiao Yu’er was so happy to see him and so dependent on him… Gu Minghuai felt that he could barely endure it.
President Gu had no idea that Rong Yu was just greedy for his spiritual energy, and he knew nothing about his own power.
Gu Minghuai’s life is very monotonous. He has almost no communication with other people outside of work and no contact with his family. Rong Yu eats every day, takes in spiritual energy, and lives a simple and happy life.
No, he was not happy at all, he wanted to be a human, really.
Unfortunately, even if Gu Minghuai supplies it every day, he is still far short of the spiritual energy needed to transform.
One day, Gu Minghuai was feeding Rong Yu when he suddenly said: “Xiao Yu’er, you seem to have gained a lot of weight.”
Rong Yu was unhappy when he heard this, and swung his tail fiercely, slapping him in the face.
You gained weight! He just sucked in too much spiritual energy and was a little bloated!
Gu Minghuai’s clothes and face were wet, but he was not annoyed. He lowered his eyelids and warned: “Swim more and eat less. It’s time for you to lose weight.”
What answered him was another tail slap from the carp. Rong Yu was still upset, so he jumped out of the water and kissed Gu Minghuai directly.
Gu Minghuai was caught off guard and was smeared in the face by the carp. Crystal dewdrops slid down the man’s handsome eyebrows, and the thin eyelashes were stained with water drops. Gu Minghuai’s face darkened, he quickly took the towel prepared nearby and wiped his face. He picked up the carp by its tail and lifted it up from the water. He gritted his teeth and said, “Have you become capable?”
The carp was lifted upside down and it fluttered wildly in the air, which was its body’s instinctive reaction. Yet, Rong Yu hoped from the bottom of his heart that Gu Minghuai wouldn’t let go, and if he held on for a little longer, he would be full of energy.
Unfortunately, he was thrown back into the water soon after, and Rong Yu jumped out dissatisfied, splashing water on Gu Minghuai’s face again as if he was addicted to playing.
If you can, mention it again! The carp poked its head out of the water and screamed silently.
Gu Minghuai looked at him: “What, are you not satisfied?”
After all, his hands have already touched fish, so it doesn’t matter if they get a little more dirty. Gu Minghuai simply discarded his worries, took Rong Yu out of the water and said, “I’ll eat you if you keep making trouble.”
The carp’s lips moved.
Injure the enemy by one thousand, while you lose eight hundred. If you eat me, you will be allergic and sent to the hospital.
Gu Minghuai couldn’t hear Rong Yu’s thoughts. After giving him a lesson, he put it back gently: “Be good, and I won’t eat you.”
Rong Yu was too lazy to pay attention to him, lying on the water with his belly facing up, pretending to be dead.
Gu Minghuai poked its belly: “Did you hear that?”
This time, Rong Yu was directly pressed into the water.
Gu Minghuai was shocked. Did it die suddenly?
He didn’t hold the fish out of the water for long.
Gu Minghuai picked up the fish. No matter how he touched it, the carp remained motionless.
…Really dead?
Gu Minghuai pursed his lips, annoyance flashed in his eyes, and he was a little surprised that he felt sad and apologetic about a fish.
After all, Xiao Yu’er brought him a lot of joy these days.
“I will give you a good burial.” Gu Minghuai took a photo of it.
Rong Yu: ……
He accepted this too quickly, as if the happy times they had spent together these days were all fake.
It is indeed difficult for humans to have real feelings for a fish.
While Gu Minghuai was playing with his cell phone, Rong Yu resurrected on the spot, jumped out of the water, and knocked Gu Minghuai’s cell phone off.
The phone plopped into the water.
Gu Minghuai glanced sideways: “Not dead?”
Rong Yu: Yes, I disappointed you.
Gu Minghuai took the phone back again: “Then I will return the order for the place in the pet cemetery.”
The phone is waterproof and can still be used if you shake it dry. Rong Yu’s sharp eyes saw that not only the cemetery, but also Gu Minghuai had even ordered wreaths.
Rong Yu: ……
Damn. What a heartless man.
“Have you learned how to pretend to be dead?” Gu Minghuai breathed a sigh of relief and patted the fish’s head gently, “Don’t do this again. It’s very scary. Do you know that?”
Rong Yu: Are you scared? You are obviously calmly arranging my funeral arrangements.
Gu Minghuai looked at it: “Is it too lonely for a fish? They say carps come in pairs. Should I buy you a companion?”
Rong Yu took his finger in his mouth again.
No way!
The Demon King vows not to coexist with other fish. This entire pool, including the one outside, can only be his!
By the way, he took the opportunity to take a few more breaths of spiritual energy.
Gu Minghuai frowned, and the feeling of his fingers being held by the fish gave him goosebumps. He shook his finger: “Let go.”
Without letting go, the fish’s body swayed back and forth with the movement of Gu Minghuai’s fingers, shaking its head and tail. Gu Minghuai simply lifted his hand, and Rong Yu was lifted out of the water.
Gu Minghuai stared at the red carp that refused to let go in mid-air, and Rong Yu’s round fish eyes stared back not to be outdone.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Gu Minghuai sighed: “Okay, I won’t raise another fish, I will only raise you, that’s enough.”
Only then did Rong Yu let go, and he fell back into the water with another splash.
After absorbing enough spiritual energy, he really couldn’t hold on any longer, and it was extremely difficult to hold on in mid-air.
Gu Minghuai laughed: “Being so easily jealous is a good ingredient for making vinegar fish.”
Rong Yu blew out bubbles, sucked in too much spiritual energy, and burped.
Gu Minghuai said: “Xiao Yu’er, I really envy you for being so carefree and relax.”
Rong Yu: Get out.
This majestic demon king, not only has his magic power blocked by a broken bracelet, but is also trapped in the body of a fish. His daily activities are limited to this swimming pool and that swimming pool. It is extremely frustrating.
Carefree and relaxed?
Rubbing salt in a fish’s wound.
“There is a party tomorrow night. I will be back very late. Let the servants feed you.” Gu Minghuai didn’t care whether the carp could understand or not, “Don’t starve yourself.”
There is no movement.
Gu Minghuai touched its fish scales: “Xiao Yu’er, do you hear that?”
Rong Yu lazily flicked his fish tail, indicating that he understood and kneeled down quickly.
“Then I’ll go, good night.” Gu Minghuai said goodbye to it with a normal expression, and then ran to the bathroom without stopping.
The Blood Jade Bracelet that witnessed the whole process: …
It felt that the minds of the Lord God and the Great Demon King had both regressed to three and a half years old, and it was almost blinded.
___
As expected, Gu Minghuai didn’t show up the next day. It was the servants who came to feed the fish.
Rong Yu ate some casually and hid in a corner under the water to sleep. There is no hope for life without Gu Minghuai.
It’s past twelve o’clock late at night, the darkness of the night blanketed the surroundings while the moon shone high in the sky.
The silver moonlight spilled into the floor-to-ceiling windows, shrouding the swimming pool in semi-darkness and silence.
The door of the swimming room was suddenly pushed open, and Gu Minghuai staggered in, smelling of alcohol and his face abnormally crimson. He hurriedly took off his suit jacket, pulled off his tie, and jumped directly into the swimming pool.
The huge splashing sound of a person falling into the water woke up Rong Yu in the corner, and the carp started to move, creating a circle of shallow ripples.
Gu Minghuai leaned against the inner wall of the swimming pool, soaking his whole body in the cold water, and the blush on his face faded a little. He lowered his head and poured water on his face, his breathing quick and heavy. Two buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned, and the water droplets rolled along the slender neck past his Adam’s apple, sliding into the collar, and some flowed into the ravine of his collarbone. The wet shirt clung to his body tightly, outlining his perfect figure.
Rong Yu saw something: Was he drugged at the banquet?
A golden bachelor like Gu Minghuai is always coveted by everyone at every banquet, and there are always a few bold ones who will take action.
Gu Minghuai is already very experienced in dealing with these, but he didn’t expect that they would succeed tonight. The other party didn’t dare to go too far. This drug was just for a little fun, and it had no effect of killing him if he didn’t take it in large amounts. He could go home and take a cold shower and he would be fine.
He got rid of the other party with a cold face and took a taxi back home. In a moment of impulse, he didn’t go to the bathroom. Instead, he jumped directly into the swimming pool to cool down.
Gu Minghuai closed his eyes and waited for the heat in his body to subside. Seeing this, Rong Yu swam over without saying a word and pressed against Gu Minghuai’s waist.
What are you waiting for? This is a great time to absorb spiritual energy!
Rong Yu had only touched Gu Minghuai’s hand before, but this was his first chance to touch Gu Minghuai’s whole body.
Rong Yu had had enough of being a fish in the pond, and tonight he would depend on Gu Minghuai.
Gu Minghuai felt something cold stuck to his abdomen. His hot body suddenly felt much better, and his frown relaxed slightly. It’s not difficult to get through this drug, but it has a side effect of making the person extremely tired.
The man sat in the shallow water with his elbows on the ground behind him. Hisupper body was soaked, and there was a red carp lying on his belly. His waist was under the water, and his legs were stretched out. He closed his eyes and breathed steadily, obviously asleep.
Rong Yu: Dare to fall asleep in the swimming pool, yet not afraid of drowning.
Blood Jade Bracelet: The water here is only half a meter deep.
Rong Yu: So what, people can still drown if they slip down.
Blood Jade Bracelet: He will sleep sitting up.
Rong Yu: I will sleep with my eyes open.
Blood Jade Bracelet: …You are quite arrogant.
After a while, the red hotness on Gu Minghuai’s face and neck dissipated, replaced by pale coldness.
Rong Yu: It seems that the potency of the drug has faded.
Blood Jade Bracelet: Yes.
Rong Yu: Is this drug contagious?
Blood Jade Bracelet: No.
Rong Yu: Then why do I feel a little hot?
Blood Jade Bracelet: You are going to transform.
The spiritual energy he had absorbed intermittently over such a long time, coupled with the close contact with Gu Minghuai tonight, the spiritual energy accumulated by Rong Yu had reached the threshold of transformation.
As soon as the Blood Jade Bracelet finished speaking, Rong Yu felt hot all over his body, and a red light that lit up the room was bright and dazzling.
When the light dissipated, the red carp beside Gu Minghuai disappeared and turned into a beautiful young man lying on top of him.
After being a carp for almost a month, Rong Yu was still a little uncomfortable with suddenly turning back into a human body. He looked at the reflection in the water through the moonlight and saw a strange and cold face.
This is the appearance of the original owner.
The young man is fair-skinned and beautiful, with delicate facial features, attractive red lips, long black hair, and thin red fins on his ears. The mermaid lines on the abdomen are clear, the skin is soft and delicate, and on the thin white wrist is a Blood Jade Bracelet bound to the soul. Rong Yu lowered his eyes and saw the gorgeous red scales hidden in the water under the sparkling water.
Rong Yu: “Fuck.”
His lower body is a fish tail.
Blood Jade Bracelet: Speak in a civilized manner.
Rong Yu: “Little Bracelet, why is it only half transformed?”
Blood Jade Bracelet: My name is Red Gold Sun Bracelet.
Rong Yu: “Tell me the key point.”
Blood Jade Bracelet: The key point is that my name is Red Gold Sun Bracelet.
It must correct its name in the big devil’s mouth. It cannot have its name changed for no reason.
Rong Yu looked away: “It seems that the spiritual energy is not enough.”
Blood Jade Bracelet: ……
Since you know the answer, why are you asking me?
Rong Yu looked at Gu Minghuai who was sleeping peacefully: “If I hug him all night, I don’t believe I can’t change my legs.”
Blood Jade Bracelet: You can try it.
The Lord God himself has sent the cheat straight to the door, what else can it do?
Rong Yu immediately clung to Gu Minghuai like an octopus. Putting his hands around the man’s shoulders, leaning into his arms, and even putting his fish tail on his lap, trying to cover all areas.
After adjusting to such a posture, the spiritual energy transmitted is indeed much more abundant.
Rong Yu asked: “Can the plotline be transferred now?”
Blood Jade Bracelet: The original owner is Chi Yu.
There was silence for a long while.
Rong Yu: “Then what?”
Blood Jade Bracelet: No more.
Rong Yu stared at the red bracelet on his wrist, with a slight chill in his eyes: “You said that the plot will be unlocked after I return to human form.”
The Blood Jade Bracelet asked: Are you a human now?
Rong Yu glanced at the fish tail beneath him.
Okay, he’s not.
The coolness in his eyes disappeared, and Rong Yu lay lazily on top of Gu Minghuai’s body, his eyes glistening with a hint of laziness. The feeling of being wrapped in spiritual energy all over his body was so warm and comfortable that he quickly felt sleepy.
This energy can help him maintain his human form, but they don’t allow him to possess mana. Mana requires inner dans. So now Rong Yu will still feel hungry and sleepy like ordinary people.
Rong Yu lazily yawned: “I’m going to bed. I hope I can be a human being when dawn comes.”
___
Gu Minghuai struggled to open his eyes. The consequence of a night of sleeping in the swimming pool while hungover was that his head was dizzy, and he was 100% sick from a cold.
When Gu Minghuai woke up, he was startled by the weight on his body. His body stiffened and he lowered his eyes to see a young man sleeping soundly in his arms in an intimate position.
Gu Minghuai: “…”
The boss who is accustomed to seeing storms is good at maintaining absolute calmness in any unexpected situations. Gu Minghuai’s expression did not fluctuate much.
He vaguely remembered that a woman drugged him at the dinner last night. So what happened with this man? Could it be that he just left the wolf’s den to enter a tiger’s mouth?
If so. Gu Minghuai’s eyes turned cold.
He will not let go of anyone who plots against him.
Gu Minghuai’s conditions were excellent. Apart from women and gay men, the people who wanted to climb into his bed ranged from all genders. He looked around, this place looked like his own swimming pool…
He brought people to his swimming pool at home to have fun?
Even if he was drunk and mixed with Chinese drugs, Gu Minghuai was sure that he would not be so ridiculous. He looked at the young man in his arms with a critical look. At this time, Rong Yu slightly adjusted his sleeping position, and his black hair fell down, revealing his fair and gorgeous face and the translucent fins where his ears should be.
Gu Minghuai’s pupils shrank and his whole body froze.
Only then did he notice that what was pressed against his legs was not human legs, but a gorgeous and huge red fish tail.
The pillow suddenly moved. Rong Yu frowned and complained in a low voice: “Don’t move, I haven’t slept enough.”
Gu Minghuai stared at him for a moment, and an incredible thought came to him. He asked tentatively——
“…Xiao Yu’er?”
Rong Yu leaned against his chest with his eyes closed, his voice vague: “Yeah.”
Gu Minghuai’s calm expression cracked on the spot.
He said fuck.

T/N: I’d also want a gorgeous merman, sadly, I’m broke.
