For Li Yu to want to gain Jing-wang’s favor, it’s not completely without reason.
He read the original novel and knew that although Mu Tianchi had the setting of a tyrant, in the original novel, he wasn’t actually a ruthless and cold-blooded tyrant right from the start.
When Mu Tianchi was still Jing-wang, at most he had a solitary, cold personality and apathetic
feelings towards others. Because of his natural mutism, he was deprived of the rights to inherit
the throne a long time ago. But later, he walked towards the position of Emperor as the most
unlikely candidate out of all the princes. With swift methods, he purged the court and harem and finally transformed from a silent and cold Wang into a merciless tyrant that was feared by all.
This kind of transformation was a long mental process, not something that occurred overnight.
The twists and turns was not something that could be described clearly with a few words. At this moment, Mu Tianchi was still a Wang. That meant his personality hasn’t changed to that of a
tyrant. In other words, this tyrant hasn’t reached the point where he’d behead people without
reason.
This point, Li Yu already managed to observe back then, when Mu Tianchi caught the big white
cat, but didn’t choose to execute it.
The big white cat crashed into Jing-wang. Although Jing-wang punished it, and felt rather
ruthless while giving the punishment, after finishing the task, he let the cat go and didn’t let the cat’s blood wash the floor. This was something that wouldn’t have happened after he became emperor. It’s evident that the current Jing-wang was only returning an eye-for-eye, not
completely merciless. Wasn’t the fact that Jing-wang actually saved a fish like himself also an example?
That’s why it wasn’t hard to understand he received the mission to change the tyrant’s nature from the System.
Acting ahead of time while Mu Tianchi was still Jing-wang was a much better option than trying
to remedy the situation after he became a tyrant
In order to complete the mission, Li Yu specifically let go of his pride. Since he needed to
become Jing-wang’s favored pet fish, voluntarily being friendly towards his owner was normal.
But trying to make Jing-wang recognize Li Yu’s friendliness and enthusiasm as a tail waving
fish was really too hard. Li Yu blew bubbles for quite a while, his mouth even started aching.
Jing-wang’s gaze was following him, but his expression remained apathetic, as if he was an icy mountain that can’t be melted.
Li Yu very quickly became somewhat tired.
He tried so hard to win favor from Jing-wang, but Jing-wang’s expression didn’t change at all. It
was actually Wang Xi-gonggong, who was standing behind Jing-wang, that let out a light laugh.
“Your highness, look. The fish you rescued is back to life. It’s even sneezing.”
Wang Xi’s big, smiling face appeared behind Jing-wang as he looked joyously at the little carp
that was blowing bubbles.
This fish was pretty interesting. Before it was all wilted and unmoving. Wang Xi had thought
this fish wouldn’t be able to survive. Who knew it’d be so vigorous and lively after just a short
while.
Li Yu: “……”
