Yu Zhizhi gripped the young man’s wrists with both hands. When her gaze met his, a flicker of stunned surprise crossed her face.
This wasn’t the first time she had encountered a sudden personality shift.
But it always caught her off guard.
She opened her mouth, her cheeks flushing for some reason. "Louis, you..."
Louis was back.
Yu Zhizhi could never mistake him.
Louis hummed a soft "mhm," looking at his hands, which she was holding. His fingertips still felt the dampness from a moment ago.
Yu Zhizhi suddenly felt very embarrassed. "You... when did you come back?"
She couldn’t be sure.
"Probably..." Louis’s eyes were as calm and dark as ink. His gaze fell on the little female’s lips, where a bit of cream still lingered.
"When... you leaned in."
He paused.
A trace of desire slowly surfaced in the depths of Louis’s quiet eyes.
He had seen it.
He had seen her licking the cream from his fingers, her teeth grazing his finger pads, sending a ticklish, tingling sensation through him.
She was sitting on the table, the collar of her white robe disheveled. Strands of dark hair stuck to her cheek, and with every exhale, her eyelashes fluttered, exuding an indescribable allure.
Louis’s fingertips touched her jaw, his thumb gently wiping away the smear of white cream at the corner of her mouth.
A tide swirled in his profound eyes, deeper than the night sky over the Holy Temple.
"When you said... you were always there."
Louis’s voice was deep and husky, with a hint of bitterness.
’It seems she and Lou get along well.’
He straightened the young woman’s collar and gently stroked her cheek. As he prepared to turn away, he found his arm suddenly caught in her embrace.
Louis looked over.
"Louis, I... I want..."
Yu Zhizhi thought of the Camp Task. Some words were just too embarrassing to say out loud. She stammered for a while, her voice as quiet as a mosquito’s buzzing.
Louis couldn’t hear her clearly.
He leaned down, moving closer. "What did you say?"
Yu Zhizhi looked up, her lips just happening to brush against his jaw.
A tremor ran through her. As if she had made up her mind, she gathered her courage and kissed him.
Louis’s dark eyes froze.
Sitting on the table, Yu Zhizhi wrapped her arms around his neck and gently kissed the young man’s lips.
Feeling her passion, Louis wrapped one arm around her waist, his breathing growing heavier. "Zhi Zhi, do you know what you’re doing?"
’Of course, I know...’
Yu Zhizhi was also panting softly. She pulled back a little, their noses touching, their breaths mingling.
The man’s scorching breath was just inches away.
Deep desire churned in his eyes.
Louis clenched his jaw slightly. "Are you sure?"
Yu Zhizhi’s face was flushed with shyness.
She kissed the man’s lips once more.
—That was her answer.
Louis planted one hand on the table beside her and kissed her back forcefully. Unlike last time, it wasn’t tender and sweet, but full of aggression, his scorching breath feeding into her mouth.
"Say my name."
Louis’s deep, husky voice pierced Yu Zhizhi’s eardrums.
"Louis..." she called softly.
"Mhm, it’s me."
The young man chuckled lowly, scooped her up, and walked toward the bed.
...
Yu Zhizhi felt like she was about to drown in an uncontrollable tide.
She curled up tightly in the soft blankets, feeling the searing heat of Louis behind her. His arm was wrapped around her waist, effortlessly pulling her back into his embrace.
After their lovemaking, Yu Zhizhi didn’t even have the strength to speak.
Louis kissed the tip of her ear. "Back at the Purple Gold Nether Hall, I didn’t get a chance to tell you something."
"What?"
"Although there were no suspicious individuals among the imprisoned criminals, a player went missing many years ago."
Louis held her gently. The disguise Spiritual Technique sometimes failed.
For example, when she became aroused. Her rabbit ears would be exposed.
Louis’s mind was filled with the image of her shy and flustered appearance just now.
Beneath him, forced to cry out his name again and again.
He wanted to make this little rabbit remember.
Just who it was that was entangled with her.
"...Missing?"
Yu Zhizhi clutched the blanket and turned her head slightly. Louis’s breath washed over her, and in a moment of inattention, he found another opportunity.
She let out a soft gasp, her tongue growing numb from being teased.
"Players in Paradise either win and leave, or they die. But this one... vanished. There are no records."
Yu Zhizhi made a soft "mhm" sound. ’That sounds pretty mysterious.’
’Could the Camp Task be related to this person?’
"Are there any detailed records?"
"I’ll look into it." Louis held her tighter.
"We’re in the Holy Temple now. The Lord of Paradise is extremely wary, so try not to go too far. Leave this to me. I’ll let you know as soon as I find anything."
"Mhm~" Yu Zhizhi trusted Louis one hundred percent.
She felt him move away from behind her.
She paused, stunned.
Louis got out of bed and draped a dark green robe over himself. "I’ll go sleep in the side hall."
When his body was exhausted, there was always a risk of other personalities taking over.
"Okay." Yu Zhizhi watched him leave.
Light from the side hall spilled through the crack in the door, pooling on the floor of her room. Yu Zhizhi saw the mess on the table; the cream cake was no longer recognizable.
Thinking about what had just happened, she felt a surge of shyness. She pulled the blanket over her face, her heart pounding.
—’I wonder... will I successfully get pregnant with a baby this time?’
「The next day.」
The first thing Yu Zhizhi did after getting up was tidy her room. She gathered the trash into a bag, tied it shut, put on a white Holy Temple robe, and walked out of her room carrying the bag.
On the large bed in the side hall, the Lord of Paradise was leaning against the headboard. A holographic projector floated in front of him. From her angle, Yu Zhizhi couldn’t see the screen and didn’t know what he was doing.
She gave a polite greeting. "Good morning~"
The Lord of Paradise glanced at her. The early-rising little rabbit was full of energy, her pair of rabbit ears standing upright, her star-like eyes sparkling with a brilliant smile.
Only a night had passed, and she was no longer the pitiful, aggrieved figure from yesterday.
—’It seems she’s made up with Louis.’
’Hmph. How boring.’
The Lord of Paradise said sarcastically, "It seems your little life is safe for the time being."
The black Crow on the metal perch hurriedly flew down, transforming into a black Shadow and appearing before the young woman.
"Miss Turtle and Rabbit, let me take that bag."
’She’s an honored guest.’
’How can we let her take out the trash herself?’
Yu Zhizhi handed him the black bag. "Thank you."
She glanced outside, hesitated for a moment, then looked back at the man on the bed. "May I go out for some fresh air? Just to the corridor not far from here."
"If you want to go, then go. Stop with the nonsense."
The Lord of Paradise couldn’t be bothered with her.
Yu Zhizhi gave a slight farewell gesture of the Empire, then turned and walked cheerfully out of the hall.
She had only taken two steps when she suddenly stopped again.
She slowly turned back to face the Lord of Paradise.
"Um, there’s one more thing..."
