Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands

Yu Zhizhi hadn’t seen Yusen in a long time.

Ever since they parted at the seaside, there had been no news of the Mermaid.

As the young man’s figure drew closer, she grew unconsciously tense. Her hands clenched the deep purple fabric of her long skirt, her heart pounded like a drum, and her eyes were fixed on Yusen—

He was getting closer and closer.

So close that Yu Zhizhi could finally see him clearly.

Yusen was dressed in a white aristocratic suit, exquisitely tailored to fit him perfectly. At his collar, he wore a white jewel that shone with a dazzling light. The young man stood tall and straight. His light brown hair was cut short, giving him a more mature and stern look than before.

His features were still handsome and delicate, perfect in every way.

But compared to before, he felt like a stranger to Yu Zhizhi.

Perhaps it was his pale blue eyes, which held no emotion, like the calm, placid surface of a bottomless sea. The faint mole on the tip of his nose only made him seem colder and more distant.

Outside the Political Hall, the guards all bowed in salute.

Buli bowed his head.

’If Prince Yusen makes a move,’ he thought, dying of anxiety but unable to speak, ’I’ll bring up Lord Shen He’s name immediately.’

For the past few months, the brown-haired young man had been undercover on a warship, looking for any slip-ups from the spy families.

Then he had received a sudden order: go to the Sad Dragon Cave and capture a certain Miss Rabbit.

Ensuring Miss Rabbit’s safety was also a crucial part of his mission.

Yu Zhizhi was the only one who didn’t bow.

She watched Yusen draw nearer and nearer. The young man was much more mature than before, and the aura around him was like the ice and snow of a harsh winter—bone-chillingly cold. A single extra glance felt like it could freeze you solid.

The Steward following behind Yusen frowned slightly as he glanced at this court maid—

’This Rabbit Clan female is so ill-mannered. Who brought her here?’

’Sen...’

Yu Zhizhi opened her mouth to speak and couldn’t stop herself from taking a step forward. Buli quickly grabbed her wrist.

Her throat felt as if it were constricted, and she couldn’t make a sound.

And just like that, with his eyes fixed straight ahead, Yusen brushed past the Rabbit Clan girl outside the grand and solemn Political Hall.

From beginning to end, he didn’t spare her a single glance.

Yu Zhizhi watched Yusen go inside, her expression dazed. She murmured, "Did he not recognize me...?"

If Buli hadn’t been holding her back, she really would have chased after him to say—

’Sensen, it’s me~’

’Look at me...’

’We’ve been apart for a few months. Has Sensen forgotten me?’

’Or is it because I’m wearing a Royal Palace maid’s uniform today, so Sensen mistook me for a palace maid of the Deep Sea Empire?’

The dispute in the Political Hall paused for a moment after Yusen entered.

But soon, two of the elders started arguing again.

The dispute was intractable.

Shen He sat in his chair, a strange smile on his lips, looking like someone who was enjoying the show and wouldn’t mind if things escalated.

Yusen sat down across from him.

In the center of the hall was a crystal stand, and on it, a glass case. Inside slept today’s "main character," the one and only Little Prince of the Deep Sea Empire.

He was a Blue Whale Cub, newly born and not even three months old.

He was currently lying in a bubble, chewing on his own tail.

The Political Elders were red-faced and glaring, neither side willing to back down. This was a matter of imperial succession for the Deep Sea Empire. With the old King in a coma, his only blood heir, the Little Prince, was certain to inherit the throne.

Just as they were about to come to blows, Shen He finally spoke—

"Arguing like this is meaningless. Why don’t we let the Little Prince choose for himself?"

The three Political Elders all looked over. One of them retorted, "The Little Prince was only born two months ago. He can’t even speak. How can he choose?"

Shen He chuckled lightly. "Everyone can give it a try. Whoever the Little Prince warms up to will be the one to take care of him."

Currently, there were a total of five people qualified to care for the Little Prince Blue Whale.

Aside from the three Political Elders, there was the Imperial Marshal, Shen He, and Prince Yusen, the symbol of royal authority in the sea.

The three of them looked at each other, and in the end, they agreed to Shen He’s proposal.

’Arguing like this isn’t a solution, and we can’t actually start a fight, can we? If it were decided by strength, who could possibly defeat a Hai Giant Shark?’

So, the three of them took turns standing before the crystal stand.

Hoping the Little Prince would "choose" them.

But the Little Prince Blue Whale just kept chewing his tail, his big, dark eyes staring at the fingers extended before his bubble, completely ignoring them.

The Political Elders sat back down in their chairs, their expressions grave.

Only two were left.

Prince Merfolk went up as well, but the Little Prince Blue Whale paid him no mind.

One of the elders spoke up. "What if he doesn’t choose anyone?"

’The one most likely to be chosen by the Little Prince is Prince Yusen.’

’It couldn’t possibly be this Great White Shark, could it?’

’How could the Little Prince possibly like the scent of blood that clings to his very bones?’

Shen He lifted his eyes and looked outside the hall. "Buli."

He called out.

The brown-haired young man quickly stepped up to the doorway, facing inside. "My lord, your orders."

Shen He said, "Bring her over."

Buli naturally knew that the "her" his lord was referring to was Miss Rabbit.

He turned his head to look at the small female behind him.

Yu Zhizhi froze. She never expected to be involved in this "power struggle."

Buli made a gesture for her to go ahead.

Yu Zhizhi took a deep breath and, under the gazes of the Political Elders, steeled herself and walked into the spacious, brightly lit hall.

They couldn’t help but whisper amongst themselves.

"Who is she?"

"A young female from the Rabbit Clan?"

"Judging by her clothes, she seems to be a court maid."

"This is absurd! As the Imperial Marshal, how can he treat this so frivolously!"

The man standing behind Yusen saw Yu Zhizhi and recalled the look on her face when she had seen his prince at the entrance—

’It wasn’t just the look of a female seeing a male she admired.’

’It was more like...’

’Long-lost, "old friends"?’

’There was some excitement, but more than that, there was anticipation.’

’And the prince’s reaction had been extremely abnormal. He detests being stared at, yet he hadn’t punished this impertinent young female for her offense.’

’It was as if he was deliberately ignoring her.’

’Having followed the prince for a long time, he understood his temperament well. A reaction like this from the prince meant he must know this young Rabbit Clan female.’

Catching sight of the little rabbit’s figure out of the corner of his eye, Yusen slowly turned the White Jade Ring on his finger, his gaze cold and deep.

He looked grimly at his "brother."

’He brought this little rabbit to the Deep Sea so suddenly, without a single leak of information—’

’What is his goal?’

’It can’t really be just about the Little Prince Blue Whale, can it?’

Standing in the hall, Yu Zhizhi couldn’t stop her gaze from drifting to Yusen. Just as it had been outside, Yusen refused to look at her.

Shen He had been wearing a faint smile, but when he noticed the little rabbit staring at Yusen ever since she came in, the smile slowly faded from his lips.

He tapped his bent finger against the edge of the table, the soft sound seeming to serve as a reminder to the little Rabbit Clan female.

"Miss Rabbit, please walk to the glass case and extend your hand."

Only when Shen He spoke did Yu Zhizhi turn her head to look at him.

"Oh..."

She answered softly.

Then, following Shen He’s instructions, she slowly walked up to the crystal stand.

In the glass case on top lay the Blue Whale Cub, enveloped in a bubble.

Although he was only two months old, he was already quite large.

He chewed on his tail, his eyes fixed on the approaching figure.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on her.

’Shen He is truly being ridiculous,’ the Political Elders thought. ’Bringing in a female from the Rabbit Clan and expecting the Little Prince to choose her?’
