Yu Zhizhi’s moans were soft and broken. Her entire body was under Lou’s control, and she could only yield to his desires, softly uttering the words, "I do like Lou..."
She saw.
The young man’s eyes crinkled with a smile, full of deep affection and tenderness.
Lou lifted her into his arms.
He’d had a taste and now he couldn’t stop.
He saw the little jasmine, slick with moisture, melting in the palm of his hand.
He heard her voice, choked with sobs, say, "No more."
Lou’s movements didn’t pause in the slightest. He chuckled lowly. "You can’t say ’no more.’ You can only say you like it."
He demanded it from her, over and over.
—’You must say you like it.’
He wanted the little female to carve the four words, "I do like Lou," into the depths of her heart.
When Yu Zhizhi woke up, she was lying on a soft bed in an alcove. Her waist ached and her legs felt powerless. As she slowly sat up, the hazy light from the side hall filtered in, making the world feel surreal.
Through a gap in the partition, she saw a dark green figure standing in the hall.
The Lord of Paradise had returned.
He surveyed the utter mess in the hall, his brow furrowing slightly. As if sensing the gaze from the alcove, he looked over—
Yu Zhizhi quickly ducked down, hiding under the covers.
’Why do I feel a little guilty?’ she wondered.
Thinking back to her time with Lou, she could only feel her ears burning.
The Lord of Paradise sat down at the tea table. A black crow brought over a meeting record in its beak and placed it on the table.
It flapped its wings and landed on a metal perch.
It then heard the Leader say, "Out."
The Black Crow immediately flew away.
’Sometimes, the Leader doesn’t like to be disturbed. Especially during a male’s mating season... Calculating the time, it should be soon. I wonder how the Spider Leader plans to handle it this year?’
The Lord of Paradise glanced at the meeting record. There was nothing particularly important.
He put down the scroll. Since his consciousness had returned today, his brow had barely relaxed. The entire hall was filled with the after-scent of pleasure—thick, damp, and cloying, with a faint, light fragrance.
The man leaned back.
His hand rested casually to the side, his fingertips brushing against a piece of sheer fabric.
He lowered his gaze to look.
A pair of small, white lace panties. Soaking wet, as if saturated with the waters of spring.
The Lord of Paradise’s face was pale, his mismatched eyes cold and indifferent.
He retracted his gaze. The sweet scent of the young woman filled his nostrils. He looked toward the alcove; the peeking gaze from before had vanished. ’That foolish little rabbit wouldn’t dare do anything out of line even if she had ten times the courage.’
Yet, a trace of desire was stirred deep within him.
The Lord of Paradise’s jawline tensed. His left hand slowly reached downward.
A flush gradually appeared on the man’s pale face.
His eyes grew colder, yet they seemed to be losing control. His right hand suddenly clenched the white lace, the dampness seeping into his fingertips. He glanced at the gap in the partition, leaned back against the chair, and draped the small, thin piece of fabric over his desire.
Deep, intense, accumulated for so long...
Finally.
It splattered onto the white lace.
The man’s expression gradually returned to calm. The residual warmth had not yet faded. He expressionlessly opened the book and saw the words "marriage alliance."
Yu Zhizhi hid in the alcove for a long time.
Usually, by this time, a Crow servant would have come to bring her a meal.
But for some reason today, the Black Crow that always followed the Lord of Paradise was nowhere to be seen.
After hesitating for a long time, she slowly pushed open the door to the alcove.
The Lord of Paradise was sitting at the tea table, just as she had seen him the past few times. His pale face was devoid of any extraneous expression. Under the light, his mismatched eyes were particularly striking—an elegant green and a deep black, both on the same face.
In the quiet side hall, the sound of the door opening was exceptionally clear, but he seemed not to have heard it, staring indifferently at the scroll before him.
Yu Zhizhi had originally intended to just leave...
But she couldn’t just ignore him.
After all, she was currently "living under someone else’s roof."
She slowly walked over and performed a noble’s greeting. "Lord Leader, may I go out to find some food?"
The Lord of Paradise lifted his eyes and glanced at her. The little female was also wearing a white Holy Temple Robe today. As she drew closer, the fragrance wafting from her grew stronger.
"You may." The man’s voice was slightly hoarse.
Just as a happy expression appeared on Yu Zhizhi’s face and she was about to leave, she heard him add—
"Take your things with you."
Yu Zhizhi froze.
’My things?’
Seeing the young woman remain motionless for a long moment, seemingly quite confused, the Lord of Paradise bent a finger and tapped the tabletop. Only then did Yu Zhizhi see something hanging from the corner of the tea table... a pair of...
When she saw it clearly, her face exploded in a blush!
Yu Zhizhi quickly approached, snatched up the splash of white, and clenched it tightly in her hand. She took a few steps back. "I-I... I’ll be going now..."
The little rabbit fled in a panic.
She ran into the alcove.
The Lord of Paradise clasped his hands in front of him. He stared at the runes on the scroll, a smile gradually appearing on his cold, pale face.
Then, just as quickly, it vanished.
Yu Zhizhi hid back in her "rabbit hutch." Now, she didn’t dare go out even though she was panicking from hunger.
The thought of her intimate apparel being seen by the Lord of Paradise filled her with shame. But this thin piece of fabric seemed to have been ravaged, and it had a peculiar smell.
Yu Zhizhi didn’t overthink it. She rubbed her growling stomach. After she saw the Lord of Paradise leave the side hall, a black crow appeared.
A shadowy figure carrying a tray arrived at the door of the alcove.
"Miss Turtle and Rabbit, it’s time to dine."
She opened the door and saw the shadowy figure walk over to the nearby tea table and set down the tray. "The Lord Leader said that you may stay in the side hall when he is not present."
"You don’t need to confine yourself to that small alcove."
Yu Zhizhi nodded lightly.
The side hall was large, brightly lit, and very quiet.
"Also—" the Crow servant said with a smile, "the Leader has transferred a female bee from the lighthouse. From now on, she will take care of your daily needs."
"After you’ve finished eating, I will bring her to see you."
’The Lord Leader has suddenly become very concerned with this Miss Turtle and Rabbit’s affairs.’
’At first, I thought it might be Leader Louis... But to think it’s actually the Spider Leader.’
Yu Zhizhi ate a wonton. "Okay, please thank the Lord Leader for me. Also, the young boy who came back with us yesterday, is he alright? I’d like to see him."
"Rest assured, Miss Turtle and Rabbit, he is fine. The little guy is at that growing age, so he’s eating a lot and sleeping soundly. Although the wounds on his body haven’t healed yet and his spiritual power is still in disarray, his life is not in danger."
Knowing that Miss Turtle and Rabbit was worried about her teammate.
The Black Crow said, "After you finish eating, I’ll take you there."
Yu Zhizhi finished a bowl of wontons and drank a few sips of the soup. She went with the Black Crow to the place where the young mantis boy was staying.
It was the same area Yu Zhizhi had gone to when she first arrived.
Just as the Crow had said, the young boy was sleeping soundly.
Yu Zhizhi didn’t wake him. Instead, she tried to use her Healing Technique to mend the wounds on his body.
After her last experience, Yu Zhizhi was much more practiced.
Soon, a system notification sound echoed in her ear—
