Chapter 281 The Special Items Turned Su Yang Into Salted Fish!
Standing in front of the mirror in the toilet, Su Yang flipped the Salted Fish Mask around. Since it was made with a light and soft material, he was able to flip it over with just a slight touch. Since both sides were symmetrical, it seemed like a brand new mask on the surface without any abnormalities after being flipped over.
However, the reverse side of the mask was a little different from its front. If the front felt cold and refreshing when it was put on, the reverse felt hot and looked like it would make his face feel like it was on fire when he put it on.
The reverse looked similar to the front side and there was no need for a strap. Once it was applied to his face, it would automatically expand along his face and attach itself.
One thing that was similar though, was that it… made him look like a pervert.
Looking at the white mask with two black fish on it, Su Yang began feeling like he was becoming increasingly perverted.
With that in mind, he suddenly heard a sudden popping sound in the room. With the sound, Su Yang’s body began feeling like a burning candle that was getting increasingly smaller and shorter.
Through the mirror, Su Yang witnessed the entire process. His body shrank rapidly and in the blink of an eye, his body was now blocked by his table.
When Su Yang tried to move, he realized that his body was stiff. When he tried to reach out, he realized that he had a ‘short’ hand. When he tried to wag his tail, he also tried to jump on the ground, albeit in vain. “Oh my…” It was then that he realized he had really become… a salted fish.
It wasn’t an adjective. He was truly a salted, pickled, and dried-out salted fish.
Su Yang was speechless.
While lying down on the ground, his salty eyes looked rather pitiful.
‘Why did I turn into salted fish?! This godd*amned thing! Su Yang the salted fish was now desperate.
He tried to turn over but found that it was useless. Salted fish would remain as salted fish even if it was turned over. However, a possible difference was that his left side was perhaps… saltier?
Just as Su Yang turned into a salted fish, the sound of tiny footsteps was suddenly heard from the doorway. “Clack. Clack.”
The footsteps were very light and sounded like gentle feet stepping on the ground.
The salty Su Yang had an ominous feeling in his heart.
Surely enough, the yellow head of a dog appeared from the corner of the doorway.
The dog had a broad forehead which made its head look large. It had two doggy ears hanging by the sides of its head, brown eyes, and a black nose which was slightly twitching as if it had smelled something. It was clearly Pan Zhaodi’s labrador, Eggy.
Su Yang’s salted fish eyes shot daggers at Eggy, attempting to scare it away.
However, Eggy clearly didn’t feel terrified by the white salted fish eyes on the ground. Eventually, it stuck its twitching nose to the ground and sniffed until eventually reaching the salty Su Yang. At that moment, the atmosphere was incredibly awkward.
The salted Su Yang attempted to open his stuff salty mouth and managed to utter a few words, “Get out!”
However, the pitiful thing was that his voice was so incredibly soft, it sounded like a screeching mosquito.
Eggy seemed to hear something and looked left and right. Its eyes were clearly confused.
However, the dog’s intelligence was limited and after two seconds, it tilted its head once more and looked at Su Yang.
Su Yang wanted to growl at it, but his attempt at voicing out to ask Eggy to go away had exhausted him of his strength. He was simply unable to open his stiff mouth, especially since salted fish are hard by nature.
Gathering the last of his strength, he attempted to flick his tail in an attempt to flick it upward at its balls to scare it away.
At that moment, he suddenly moved!
The salted fish that was initially thought to be a dead creature suddenly jumped up and scared Eggy.
It was stirred up and all its four legs moved as fast as they could, helping it in its hasty retreat as it looked intently at the salted fish that had fallen back to the ground, now stiffened once more.
The standoff between them lasted for a full minute and when Eggy saw no new movements made by the salted fish, it cautiously moved forward once more.
This time, it didn’t wait for Su Yang to react and placed a paw on him. Su Yang wasn’t hurt but it did feel a little heavy. He was really going nuts! ‘What the hell is Eggy doing?! You’re not going to eat me, are you!?
‘Did I just develop some kind of ability just to die in a dog’s mouth?’ Just as Su Yang was deep in thought, Eggy lowered its head and sniffed Su Yang once more before sticking out its tongue to lick Su Yang on his head. After licking it, Eggy’s face clearly showed a disgusted expression.
Then, it released Su Yang and left the kitchen with gentle steps.
Su Yang was speechless. ‘Finally, he’s gone! Su Yang let out a sigh of relief. However, he was still confused. ‘The way I am right now… How am I going to move about?! I can’t be a salted fish for an entire month!
‘It’s the holidays now but how can I enjoy my holiday like this?’
He tried to move his hands as much as he could. Although his fish eyes couldn’t see it, Su Yang believed that his hands were now a pair of sun-dried fins that couldn’t even touch his own fishy head.
‘If I can’t get the mask off by myself, can I get help from someone else?
‘But… How am I going to do that… How are I going to find someone by myself?’
Su Yang tried to bounce up and move out, but after bouncing around a little, he felt like he had run out of energy once more.
It even felt like he was losing salt particles from his salty body…
Su Yang lay down on the ground. ‘Fine. That’s it for now. I’m so tired.’
After lying on the ground for a while, Su Yang began to think about his life.
‘Why did I make the mistake of wearing that stupid mask? If I didn’t wear it, would I be fine?
Today is the last day of the week, so if I don’t go buy recipe ingredients to exchange for the recipe items, the time for it would’ve passed and I won’t get that special circus item!
‘No, no, no… What’s the point of thinking about the circus when I’m a dead fish…’
Su Yang had no tears to cry.
No, he really had no tears now. There’s plenty of salt, though. He could even produce salt.
Just as Su Yang was in a state of utter confusion about the future, a sudden ringing was heard from the kitchen. It was a phone call.
Su Yang could hear Little Deeny’s voice in his ears. “Master, it’s a call from Miss Chu Xia.”
Su Yang tried to open his mouth but was unable to make a sound.
‘Forget it… Don’t mention Chu Xia, even if it was someone else, I still wouldn’t be able to answer the phone right now
Also, can’t you see that your master has turned into salted fish?!’
The salted fish lying on the ground looked like it had no life remaining.
Then, Little Deeny’s voice continued ringing in his ears, “Master? Are you listening?
“Huh?! Where’s my master!”
The salted Su Yang finally moved. ‘You’ve finally realized your master is missing!’
Then, the entire second floor of the villa rang with Little Deeny’s yelling, “Master! Where are you!”
Then, the door upstairs was opened and Little Deeny stomped down the stairs, all the way to the kitchen.
She looked to her left and right. “Master? Master?”
The salted fish on the ground thought. ‘I’m right here…’
Unfortunately, he couldn’t say anything from being too tired.
Little Deeny waved her hands and an interface appeared in front of her. On it was the events that had transpired in the kitchen playing in reverse. After some time, the video of Su Yang turning into a salted fish appeared.
reve
Little Deeny’s mouth slowly widened as she looked left and right. Finally, she saw the salted fish Su Yang who was now in a corner.
She jumped to the ground and called out to the salted fish, “Master? Master?”
The salted fish Su Yang rolled its dead fish eyes. ‘How do you want a salted fish to respond? I can’t even say a single word…’ Little Deeny carefully picked Su Yang up and held him in her arms. Su Yang felt that she was… rather soft. Little Deeny touched the salty Su Yang. “Master, how do you remove this state?”
Su Yang continued rolling his dead fish eyes. ‘I can’t lift it until an hour has passed…’
Little Deeny picked Su Yang up and went to the sofa. Then, she put Su Yang on her lap as her eyes became empty. Then, a stream of data was seen going across her eyes, and what followed was an interface appearing out of thin air in the middle of the living room, suspended quietly in the air.
Su Yang tried her best to glance at that image and saw that it was the video of all the rooms in the villa being played backward. It was rewinding at 8x speed. Little Deeny was apparently viewing those videos. ‘Hmmm… I hope she doesn’t see a video of me showering.’ Su Yang was incomparably salty as he thought in his mind.
After a moment, Little Deeny’s hand stopped, and the images on the interface stopped as well. Then, the images on the interface disappeared one after the other, leaving only the last one.
The stream of data in Little Deeny’s eyes disappeared. She looked at the image in front of her and waved her hand to reveal an image of Su Yang tearing the mask off.
Little Deeny’s hands began running all over Su Yang’s fishy body.
The salted fish Su Yang thought. ‘Hmm… This is quite comfortable.’
Unfortunately, an hour had yet to pass and the mask couldn’t be torn off so she couldn’t find it.
Little Deeny continued searching for half a day but found nothing so she went through the recordings once more.
Su Yang was in no hurry at all…
At least he wouldn’t be eaten by Eggy. Just like that, one of them searched for the image, while the other quietly waited for time to pass.
Counting the time, an hour quickly passed and Su Yang had already saved up a lot of energy. With all his might, he flicked his tail and bounced on Little Deeny’s leg. Little Deeny was checking the time, and saw the salty fish on her lap in a confused state.
‘Was Master sending me a message?
‘But… What message did he send?
‘If that’s the case, can you try again?’
Little Deeny was quite close to him so she understood the message SU Yang wanted to convey. With that, she began fumbling around Su Yang’s fishy body once more.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Can you pay attention when you’re touching me?
‘There are male and female fish y’know?!’
After touching him for some time, Little Deeny brightened up. ‘Eh? There’s something slippery and soft here.’
Little Deeny squeezed her fingers together and gently pulled it off.
With the movement of her hand, a mask with a white background painted with two black fish appeared on her hand.
With a clanging sound, Su Yang appeared in her lap.
Little Deeny was overwhelmed by his weight and cried out, “Ouch!!!”
Su Yang’s eyes were filled with tears of excitement. “I’ve finally changed back!”
Little Deeny weakly looked at Su Yang with red eyes, “Master, can you get off my leg first? It hurts.”
“Ohhh.” Su Yang immediately got off Little Deeny’s legs.
She looked rather aggrieved as she rubbed her fair thighs.
