Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands

"Lord Shen He, Ms. Zhi Zhi got into a fight with the Young Master of the Octopus Clan. He just arrived at the Royal Palace yesterday and is staying in Lanting, next door."

Lanting and Bishui Pavilion are separated by a large lake.

’The Little Octopus must have swum over.’

Shen He was in the middle of getting dressed. He thought he must have misheard. "A fight? Is she hurt?"

Buli lowered his head, his face clouded with worry. "The injuries are very serious."

’What are we going to do? The Young Master of the Octopus Clan is the sole heir of the Servant God Race. He’s covered in wounds and crying so pitifully.’

Shen He threw on a dark blue outer robe and headed for the scene.

Arriving at the pond’s edge, he saw the two figures on the ground. The white rabbit had become a gray one, filthy and caked with mud. Its ears drooped as it lay beside a large rock, its fluffy tail trembling slightly, as if it were crying...?

’But on closer listen, it sounded like she was just panting.’

’She must be exhausted.’

Then he looked at the other one. The Little Octopus was sprawled on the ground like a pile of goo, a few of its tentacles twitching feebly. Bite marks were clearly visible on its pale red body, its skin broken and blood-stained in many places.

When the elder of the Octopus Clan arrived and saw his Young Master covered in wounds, his heart ached terribly.

He bent down and picked up the Little Octopus, then shot a venomous glare at the culprit—the rabbit. "Lord Shen He, you must see that justice is done for us!"

Before arriving, Shen He had thought the little rabbit was the one who was seriously injured.

He never expected...

...it would be the octopus.

He suddenly recalled the rumors: the Octopus Young Master was born disabled, with extremely weak spiritual power, unable to even assume a human form.

Judging by the "intense" state of the battlefield, the Little Octopus seemed to have been completely dominated.

His spiritual power was even lower than that of a female from the Rabbit Clan, and he couldn’t compare in physical strength. It was no wonder he lost.

After confirming that the little rabbit was merely dirty and completely unharmed, Shen He gave a soft "hm" and said, "Miss Rabbit, the one you injured is an honored guest of the Royal Palace. Regardless of the reason, you will apologize at once."

Hearing the word "apologize," Yu Zhizhi looked at Shen He, aggrieved. "He started it..."

She had only been basking in the moonlight in the courtyard when the Little Octopus had charged over and knocked her down. Not only that, but it had also pounced on her relentlessly, trying to bite her.

Faced with danger, Yu Zhizhi naturally had to fight back.

The Little Octopus’s tentacles were wrapped tightly around her and wouldn’t let go. She had no choice but to keep struggling and kicking its belly.

If her spiritual power hadn’t been stronger than the Little Octopus’s, she might have been strangled to death by now.

A ray of dawn pierced the morning mist, landing in the courtyard. The little rabbit’s eyes were rimmed with red, clearly displeased with Lord Shen He’s blatant "favoritism."

Buli sighed inwardly.

"If he attacks you, you take it. In the Deep Sea Empire, slaves have no right to fight back." Shen He’s tone grew even colder.

He watched as the little rabbit lowered her head, squatting stubbornly beside the rock.

The elder of the Octopus Clan took the injured Little Octopus to find a Medical Officer in the Royal Palace. Before he left, he tossed out a parting shot, hoping Lord Shen He wouldn’t go easy on the prisoner.

"Apologize when they return. If you’re not willing, you can stay right here. You can go back inside when you’ve figured things out."

Listening to the man’s indifferent words, Yu Zhizhi turned, presenting him with her tail.

’She didn’t want to talk to this shark.’

Shen He glanced toward the other end of the courtyard. ’For such a huge commotion, that brother of mine is certainly keeping his cool.’

’No matter.’

’Let’s see how long he can hold out.’

Shen He left Bishui Pavilion, telling Buli, "Don’t let her leave the courtyard, and don’t bring her any food."

"But..."

Buli glanced at the sun, which had only peeked out for a moment before being swallowed by dark clouds. "It’s going to rain today."

’Ms. Zhi Zhi isn’t hurt, but she’ll get sick if she’s soaked by the rain.’

"All the better if it rains." Shen He lowered his gaze, a cryptic smile on his lips. "The harder the rain, the more it softens the heart."

’This was just a test.’

’If Yusen didn’t take the bait, Shen He wouldn’t mind trying something even crueler.’

Yu Zhizhi had fought the Little Octopus all night. With her spiritual power completely drained, she could no longer maintain her Beast Form and reverted to her human shape.

Her clothes were torn to shreds. She sat on the ground, rubbing her sore calves, her rabbit ears drooping limply. A film of moisture clouded her eyes.

Shen He was punishing her.

But she didn’t want to apologize.

However, this was the Deep Sea Empire. She was just a prisoner, afforded no special treatment. She was, in fact, considered inferior.

She knew.

Disobedience would only bring more suffering.

Yu Zhizhi was heartbroken. She didn’t feel she had done anything wrong. ’What’s wrong with protecting myself?’

But no one cared about right or wrong. She had injured a distinguished guest of the Deep Sea, and so they demanded she apologize.

Yu Zhizhi lowered her head even further. A raindrop struck her forehead. She froze, then looked up to see heavy, dark clouds gathering as raindrops began to fall, one after another, like pearls from a snapped string.

And so she sat there on the ground, letting the rain soak her through.

A Steward from the Undersea Palace watched the Rabbit Clan female sitting in the courtyard, battered by the wind and rain, a flicker of pity in his eyes.

Meanwhile, his own highness had been standing here watching for a long time.

Yusen could guess that Shen He was deliberately leaving her out in the rain.

The small female was dressed in the crumpled, deep-purple uniform of a court maid. On her pale face, it was impossible to tell tears from rain. Her rabbit ears were soaked, drooping pitifully. She hugged her knees, shivering in the cold downpour.

Yusen didn’t want to get involved.

He had already resolved to cut ties with the past, including his feelings for her.

’I know it’s a trap, so why can’t I stop my legs from walking toward her?’

’This fishtail that had transformed into human legs.’

’From the moment they appeared, they were meant for her and her alone.’

’How could I possibly control them?’

Yusen approached, holding up an umbrella.

A deep blue umbrella entered her vision. Yu Zhizhi wiped the rain from her face and slowly turned her head to look at the Mermaid Youth who had appeared beside her.

"Sensen..."

Yu Zhizhi’s voice choked with emotion.

"I’m so cold..."

"Can you take me away from here?"

Shen He was punishing her, leaving her to be soaked in the courtyard.

They wouldn’t let her leave.

The spring rain had chilled Yu Zhizhi to the bone, and her body trembled.

She was so cold.

Yusen knew exactly what he was doing. If he kept this up, all his past efforts would be wasted. He would once again be lost in the web of love and desire she wove.

But he couldn’t bring himself to turn a blind eye.

The moment he saw her, all the emotions he had killed off came roaring back to life, bursting from his chest.

He was overcome by a mad desire to possess her.

The youth’s ice-blue eyes were cold and distant, but his right hand, gripping the umbrella handle so tightly his knuckles were white, betrayed his inner turmoil.

"I can take you away."

The rain pattered.

Yusen’s voice was calm, yet slightly hoarse. "But first, you have to tell me: what can you do for me?"

Yu Zhizhi thought for a moment before answering seriously, "I can clean the house, and I can water the flowers. I’m learning the Healing Skill now, so if Sensen needs..."

Yusen cut her off. "The only thing I’m short of is a bed warmer. Are you willing?"
