Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands

"It’s been a while since you’ve seen the Duke, hasn’t it? Why not say hello?"

Louis’s tone was calm, as if he were discussing what to have for lunch with Yu Zhizhi.

The little turtle lowered her head, her tail giving a slight wag. "He’s never seen me like this. Even if I called out to him, he might not acknowledge me."

Besides, with her current identity, it was best not to draw attention to herself.

Yu Zhizhi had no choice but to remain hidden.

Louis’s gaze fell on the small turtle shell. A damp, heavy feeling settled in his heart; there were some emotions he couldn’t suppress.

He couldn’t ignore the Duke’s existence.

Nor could he ignore the Mermaid’s.

And he certainly couldn’t overlook his other personalities sharing in the little female’s sweetness.

Even though he cared desperately, Louis wouldn’t show it. He wouldn’t let superfluous emotions affect their current relationship.

A smile returned to Louis’s face. "I’m still investigating that contestant who went missing all those years ago, so I probably won’t have time to spend with you today. You can just stay and play here in the side hall, okay?"

Yu Zhizhi nodded lightly. "Okay~"

She knew Louis had been busy lately and had little time to spend with her. Realizing he was running around for her sake, Yu Zhizhi felt she should do something to express her gratitude.

"Louis, what do you like to eat?" she asked suddenly.

Louis: "Nothing in particular, really. Why?"

The little turtle in the young man’s hands stretched out her claws. "I want to make something delicious for you, to thank you for all your care and help during this time!"

"Is that so." A hint of a smile rippled in Louis’s dark eyes. "Then just make a bowl of noodles."

’It’s simple and easy to make.’

As long as the little rabbit made it, he would like it, no matter what it was.

Yu Zhizhi nodded repeatedly.

Louis placed her back on the coffee table.

After bidding her farewell, he left the side hall.

「Meanwhile.」

Having finished his meeting, the Duke returned to his study. An attendant followed behind him, holding a stack of lists.

—These were detailed files on the marriageable candidates of the Snake Clan.

They documented everything that had happened to these individuals since birth.

This concerned Ms. Zhi Zhi, so the Duke was extremely meticulous, allowing no room for error.

"Go investigate the contestants at Paradise again. See how many Turtle Clan females there are." The Duke sat down at his desk. He casually picked up a list, then set it down again. "And from our time on Zero Star Street, besides the Mermaid, bring me the file on that Housekeeper as well."

’The Housekeeper?’

The attendant poured the Duke a cup of hot tea, puzzled—

’We’ve already seen the Housekeeper’s file. He was an outstanding member of the Moonrise Guard Team before he resigned and applied for the Housekeeper position at Paradise. At the time, the Paradise Guard Team was arranging the matter, looking for a suitable Steward for Ms. Zhi Zhi.’

’The matter was settled quickly.’

’He passed his probationary period without a hitch.’

’Could it be that the Duke has discovered something else unusual?’ The personal attendant replied respectfully, "I will see to it at once."

The Duke stared at the Beast Husband Candidates on the list, his mood growing more irritable the longer he looked.

He thought of that turtle.

It had poked its little head out, affectionately nuzzling the palm of the Paradise Leader. The Duke’s expression turned frigid, his serpentine eyes growing darker and deeper. He was just considering a certain possibility.

A certain... possibility.

’After leaving the Mermaid, the little rabbit immediately found a new lover.’

’What is it this time? A Spider?’

’She really isn’t picky, is she? From a beautiful Mermaid to a terrifying arthropod, one after another, she never rests.’

The thought of the young girl’s soft body, pinned beneath a giant spider...

He abruptly squeezed his serpentine eyes shut, forcing himself not to think about it anymore.

’As expected, I need to capture her and bring her back as soon as possible.’

’Only by locking her up tightly with chains will she finally be obedient.’

’The little rabbit’s Beast Husband just needs to be from the Snake Clan; it doesn’t matter who it is. It’s merely a reason to keep her in the Duke Mansion forever, a puppet to play along with the act.’

The Duke flipped through the list of Beast Husband Candidates several times, but he couldn’t absorb a single word.

He closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. A stifling knot of frustration was lodged in his chest, refusing to dissipate.

...

Yu Zhizhi was in the side hall by herself; the black Crow was gone too. She changed back into her human form and sat at the coffee table, eating peach blossom cakes. They were sweet and chewy, with a rich floral fragrance.

After two cups of tea, she gradually grew sleepy.

She leaned against the coffee table for a short nap.

In her sleep, she felt a warm touch on her cheek and mumbled softly.

Lou, who had traveled through the night to return, saw the young woman asleep at the coffee table the moment he entered. He strode over, and as he lifted her into his arms, he couldn’t resist kissing her cheek.

Lou placed Yu Zhizhi on the large bed in the side hall.

He gazed at her sleeping face. The thought of the daytime meeting made his heart ache. Whether it was the Valoran Empire or the Moon Ascending Royal Family, they all wanted to steal his little turtle.

Lou had learned many things about her.

He knew about all her past lovers.

Although most of her exes were like fleeting clouds, that snake lingered like a vengeful ghost.

The little female had chosen to come to Paradise, but Lou couldn’t feel happy at all, because he knew she had walked into danger for Louis’s sake.

Lou was Lou, and Louis was Louis.

Everyone thought they were the same person.

But Lou didn’t think so.

’For this little rabbit, the current lover she cherishes is probably Louis.’

’And only Louis.’

Lou didn’t have Louis’s memories and didn’t know what they were like together. He could only sense the ineffable intimacy between them.

Perhaps because he had been watching for too long, Yu Zhizhi groggily opened her eyes on the bed. Seeing the figure by her bedside, she reached out and grasped the young man’s fingers. "Lou, you’re back?"

This time, she didn’t mistake him for someone else.

Yu Zhizhi was still drowsy, but she could see clearly. The young man’s emerald eyes were like unfathomable, dark pools, slowly devouring the souls of passersby.

Hearing the young woman’s soft voice, Lou’s heart trembled.

He lay down on the bed and pulled her into his arms.

Yu Zhizhi lay quietly in his embrace, held tightly by the young man, feeling his heartbeat, his breath...

Lou buried his face in her soft hair. "I know you like Louis, but you can’t *only* like Louis..."

The young man’s voice was like a puppy caught in the rain, sounding aggrieved. "You have to like me, too."

He pressed against her neck and bit her.

The bite cleared some of Yu Zhizhi’s sleepiness. She called out his name in a soft, hazy voice, "Lou..."

Lou lightly sucked on the little female’s lips, his breath scalding hot.

"You have to like Lou."

He repeated it over and over.

Today’s Lou seemed different from usual. Yu Zhizhi’s consciousness was starting to blur, her expression growing more dazed.

Heat. Swaying.

The young man’s eyes were bloodshot, tinged with deep desire.

Damp strands of black hair clung to his forehead, sweat trickling down his pale cheeks, his scent thick with masculine hormones.

"Say you like Lou," the young man panted heavily.
