“Wang Xi-gonggong, you’re here!” Xiao Linzi looked like he saw a savior. Eyes lighting up, he
quickly bowed: “Begging you to help me plead mercy from Jing-wang, his highness……”
The person who came was Jing-wang’s personal servant, Wang Xi.
“What mercy?” After catching his breath, Wang Xi first carefully examined Jing-wang’s
expression briefly, then gave Xiao Linzi a ferocious glare: “This cat ran up itself and bumped into his highness. What, is his highness not allowed to punish it?”
Xiao Linzi felt faint and said timidly: “But this is Guifei-niangniang’s Master cat……”
Wang Xi recognized the cat already. Not mentioning it was fine, bringing it up, his anger
instantly shot up: “It’s only a cat, yet you dare to call it a master in front of his highness,
outrageous!”
“Wang, Wang-gonggong……”
Xiao Linzi realized he spoke the wrong words and instantly covered his own mouth. In the eyes
of servants like him, Guifei’s cat was like half a master. But in front of the son of the dragon,
what’s it worth?
Wang Xi spat on Xiao Linzi, and then berated him severely. Xiao Linzi trembled all over, with a
lowered head, not daring to speak.
Wang Xi finished scolding, turned back and gave Jing-wang a consulting glance. Jing-wang’s
ice-cold eyes moved slightly. Wang Xi understood and instantly turned around with a lan hua
hand gesture, and reprimanded loudly: “ This cat bumped into his highness. His highness is only
punishing it, what’s all this worrying about.”
The cat in Jing-wang’s hand failed to impress with its awe-inspiring presence, its temper worn
down to nothing.
By this time, it seemed to realize it scratched a metal plate and finally curbed
its temperament. Spitting its pink tongue, it started meowing pitifully.
An average person would feel their hearts soften at this point.
However, Jing-wang wasn’t average.
Jing-wang waited until the cat stopped calling completely and tactfully lowered its head, then
finally carelessly threw it in Xiao Linzi’s direction. The cat was unafraid of heights. As soon as it
left Jing-wang’s hand, it quickly jumped into Xiao Linzi’s arms. Xiao Linzi didn’t have much
meat on his body. Having his chest pounced on, he almost spat out blood.
Wang Xi coughed lightly: “His highness is in a good mood today so he only bestowed a light
punishment. You better watch it closely. If there’s next time…… ha ha. I’ve lived this long, and
I’ve never seen anyone who dares to anger his highness twice.”
“This servant understands!” Xiao Linzi kowtow’d nonstop.
Jing-wang waved his hand indifferently. Wang Xi spat at Xiao Linzi again and followed Jing-
wang to leave.
That’s it? Leaving just like this?
Li Yu anxiously endured this long, but that Jing-wang who saved him, and even gave him an
extra glance, didn’t have any plans to continue saving him.
It was already hard enough for Li Yu to survive the cat’s mouth. Considering no one could hear
or understand his words, he can only gather the last of his strength and curl his tail. The tail
chaotically beat on the floor, once, twice.
This almost inaudible cry for help was so pitiful it made him despair.
Again and again, Li Yu almost gave up, but again and again, he forced himself to endure, telling
himself that if he endured maybe there’d be a miracle.
Until, he could no longer move his tail. No miracles occurred.
The cloud decorated shoes that once saved him didn’t stop for him again.
Li Yu gradually lost unconsciousness, his fish tail stopped moving. The air in the surrounding
slowly turned cold.
