Yu Zhizhi felt her body enveloped in a gentle Light. Unlike the dizzying sensation from the previous teleportation, this time, it was like floating in mid-air.
She closed her eyes, sensing the metallic scent of blood drawing closer from behind.
Her back pressed against a chest as hard as steel. Her body trembled slightly as she felt wolf-like arms holding her tight, hot blood staining her white robes.
It was the most primitive, bestial scent.
As if he had never gone through Evolution to become human.
Above her, she could even hear the wolf’s panting. Yu Zhizhi couldn’t describe the feeling in her heart; she simply touched the glossy black fur on Tang Luo Ke’s arm.
After the Light faded...
Yu Zhizhi slowly opened her eyes. What greeted her was a dark, quiet forest with a crude little cabin at its end.
"Where are we..."
The wolf behind her released his arms. Tang Luo Ke scanned his surroundings. "The Sad Dragon Cave."
The Sad Dragon Cave was located between the Moon Rising Empire and the Valoran Empire. It was an extremely dangerous Land of Chaos.
But at the same time, it was not under any faction’s jurisdiction, making it completely free.
The Delegation had passed through here before, and it had taken them a very long time. If Tang Luo Ke hadn’t been there to clear the path, they might never have reached the Moon Ascension Realm safely.
Tang Luo Ke pulled a communicator out from his clothes.
Seeing this, Yu Zhizhi quickly grabbed his wrist. "Don’t... don’t contact them."
Still in a state of Beastification, the wolf’s emotions were unreadable. His blood-red eyes lacked the madness from their time in Paradise, instead holding a deep, chilling cold.
"Reason?"
Contacting the Delegation and taking her back to the Valoran Empire without delay was the top priority.
Yu Zhizhi’s face was pale. In his Beast Form, Tang Luo Ke was far too tall for a human. She had to crane her neck to look at him, which was starting to make it ache.
Seeing her remain silent for a long moment...
Tang Luo Ke activated the communicator, and the girl’s hand pressed down on his again. Her voice was frantic. "I... I’m pregnant..."
Yu Zhizhi’s voice was tiny, almost swallowed by the wind.
Tang Luo Ke froze. His wolfish eyes landed on the little rabbit’s face. Seeing her look as if the words were difficult to say, a mocking sneer tugged at his lips. "Oh?"
"Please, don’t contact the Delegation for now..." Yu Zhizhi lowered her head, her rabbit ears drooping. "Let’s just stay here for a while. After the baby is born, we can go back to Varolan."
The wolf tail behind Tang Luo Ke swayed slowly. His lupine body was powerful and imposing, and a claw as sharp as a blade tapped the surface of the communicator.
"We may have an alliance with the Moon Rising Empire, but it would be quite beneficial if the offspring of the Lord of Paradise could be kept as a hostage in the Varolan Imperial City."
He saw the young female’s rabbit ears tremble slightly.
’This was what Yu Zhizhi feared most.’
That was why she absolutely could not return to Varolan until after the cub was born and had safely returned to Paradise.
"Tang..." Yu Zhizhi mustered her courage and moved closer to him. "The baby is innocent."
"The cub may be innocent, but you aren’t." Tang Luo Ke’s sharp claw traced a line down her delicate, porcelain-white cheek. He had to exert extreme control not to hurt her. "Who was it that fled from B13 Floor without so much as a word? Now you know to beg me?"
Yu Zhizhi felt as if the wolf’s claw could slice open her cheek, or even her throat, at any moment. She shut her eyes, her body trembling uncontrollably.
In the Sad Dragon Cave, the faint whisper of the wind carried a chilling cold.
She could hear the roars of wild beasts in the distance.
And standing right in front of her was the one Wolf Beast she was most afraid to provoke.
Tang Luo Ke stared at her darkly for a long time, as if he wanted nothing more than to swallow her whole. He forced himself to look away, let out a cold snort, and walked toward the small cabin nearby.
Hearing his departing footsteps, Yu Zhizhi opened her eyes, a flicker of surprised delight on her face.
She quickly followed him.
The crude cabin had no extra furnishings. There was a gray mattress by the window and a brazier burning near the door.
It looked like a small safe house that had been abandoned for a long time.
Someone had lived here before, leaving plenty of traces behind.
Yu Zhizhi felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen. She curled up in a corner of the mattress, pressing her hands to her stomach. Fearing a certain possibility, she quickly called out to the system.
[I want to check on the baby’s condition...]
[System: The beast fetus is unstable, showing signs of a potential miscarriage. Host must replenish nutrients as soon as possible.]
Yu Zhizhi’s face grew even paler.
She had to save the Spider’s cub.
Tang Luo Ke’s beastly body was too large, so he reverted from his Beast Form at the doorway. Once he was back in his human form, his face was pale, and he was covered in wounds, just like the Spider.
Because his [Strength] talent had forcibly doubled his spiritual power, his body was now in an extremely weakened state. Seeing the girl’s curled-up form inside the cabin, his eyes darkened, and he let out a cold snort.
’This little rabbit is just playing pitiful.’
But after a moment, he couldn’t stop himself from knocking on the door. "What are you doing? I didn’t hurt you. I haven’t even settled the score with you for having a cub with another male. Are you trying to make me go soft by acting so miserable? Dream on. I’ll never forgive you!"
"...Tang." A sharp pain shot through Yu Zhizhi’s abdomen, and she couldn’t help but shiver.
The young female’s voice sounded pained. Tang Luo Ke froze for a second, then quickly ducked into the cabin and hurried to the mattress.
She looked like she was in a lot of pain.
Yu Zhizhi sobbed softly. She pressed one hand to her stomach and clutched the corner of Tang Luo Ke’s shirt with the other. "This is really bad... I-I don’t want to have a miscarriage..."
’Miscarriage?’
Tang Luo Ke’s expression tightened. His blood-red eyes locked onto the young female. The word was completely foreign to him.
Yu Zhizhi remembered the system’s earlier warning and said softly, "Can you find some food for me? I need to replenish a lot of nutrients. There should be Xianghe Mushrooms in the Wild Forest..."
’It has to be Xianghe Mushrooms or Mite Meat.’
’Nothing else will do.’
"Wait here."
Not daring to delay, Tang Luo Ke immediately got up and left.
Her abdomen throbbed with waves of pain. Yu Zhizhi curled up, clutching the pillow tightly. Perhaps because her body was so, so tired, she gradually drifted off to sleep.
An unknown amount of time passed.
She heard a rustling sound.
Groggy, she opened her eyes and saw that Tang Luo Ke had returned.
He sat down next to the mattress and held a clean, strangely shaped Xianghe Mushroom to the little rabbit’s lips.
He had spent a long time searching for this non-poisonous fungus.
He had even grabbed a few creatures along the way to question them, only picking the mushroom after confirming that it was specifically used to provide nutrients for pregnant females.
Yu Zhizhi smelled the mushroom and took a couple of bites. It was incredibly bitter.
The little rabbit swallowed with tears in her eyes. "I want mushroom soup..."
"Eat it raw."
"Mushroom soup..."
"Eat it raw."
"Mushroom soup..."
Tang Luo Ke got up with a blank expression and started trying to build a fire to boil water. He’d never done anything like this before. The thought that the little rabbit was carrying another male’s cub in her belly made him seethe with irritation.
Yu Zhizhi’s abdomen didn’t hurt as much now.
Although it was very bitter, she still ate the entire Xianghe Mushroom.
’I hope I can save the baby.’
’After the baby is born, Louis should find a way to send someone to get us...’
