Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands

Yu Zhizhi poured out all her inner thoughts in a rush.

She wasn’t sure if she had explained herself clearly enough, or if Yusen would understand what she meant. All she knew was that she didn’t want their relationship to be so strained.

The young woman’s gentle voice, tinged with a slight choke, was enough to make anyone’s heart soften and ache for her.

Miss Rabbit was earnestly explaining why she hadn’t left with him that night in the Divine City.

Yusen’s fingers, gripping the edge of the bed, turned white. He spoke slowly, "...I’m not angry."

From the moment he was reunited with Miss Rabbit, Yusen had said he wasn’t angry.

Yu Zhizhi was confused. "Then why are you ignoring me?"

Yusen: "I’m not ignoring you."

Yu Zhizhi hugged him from behind, burying her face in his back. Her voice was muffled. "You’re so quiet. You weren’t like this before."

’Sensen must be angry. That’s why he’s become such a stranger.’

Hearing the young woman’s insistent voice, a bitter expression crossed Yusen’s face. He looked down and pried her fingers open.

"I realized you might have had your reasons. Though I don’t know the specifics, but..."

Aside from that night by the sea, when he had lost his senses to heartbreak.

Once he returned to the Deep Sea and thought it over carefully, he could roughly guess why Miss Rabbit had made such a choice.

Yusen slowly broke free from the warm cage she had woven.

He moved Miss Rabbit’s hands from his waist.

"I’ve never been much of a talker. It’s not because I’m holding a grudge, and it’s certainly not directed at you. If you’re hoping we can go back to how things were, that’s going to be very difficult."

"...Why?" Yu Zhizhi didn’t understand.

’If Sensen isn’t angry anymore, why is he being so cold?’

Yusen kept his back to her.

Just like his tone of voice, which always carried a hint of distance. "We were lovers before. But now, what are we?"

Before, they were lovers and could do all the things lovers do.

But now...

The young woman’s silence made the look in Yusen’s eyes grow increasingly calm.

"For now, just stay by my side. When you’ve decided whether you want to return to Varolan, go to Moonrise, or anywhere else, you can tell me. I’ll see you off."

Just as Miss Rabbit had done everything she could to help him escape when he was imprisoned.

Although he had once thought that even if they met again, he would never get entangled with her.

Although...

When he faced her, his heart still pounded violently, making it impossible to remain completely calm.

The desire to keep her by his side forever—a desire he desperately tried to control, yet which always lingered—was overflowing, boiling over. Yet, he was still unwilling to take another step forward.

Because...

’It was too painful.’

No matter the reason, the result was always her leaving.

He would never forget the feeling of his heart being sliced away, piece by piece, with a knife. The pain made his very soul tremble. Compared to such agony, he would have rather died that night, at the very moment she left.

That way, he wouldn’t have had to watch her walk away.

Yusen wanted to keep a safe distance from her.

If possible, it would be best if they never saw each other again.

Bringing her back had already gone against his original resolve.

Yu Zhizhi more or less understood.

’Sensen meant that they were practically strangers now, so they couldn’t be as intimate as they were before.’

She slowly turned around, her back to Yusen.

The young woman’s long silence made Yusen’s heart tremble. His just-calmed emotions were suddenly provoked. "What exactly are you unhappy about?"

"I’m not..."

Yu Zhizhi choked up slightly. She wasn’t unhappy; she was just hurt. "Then from now on, should I call you Prince You Sen, just like they do?"

’Does this mean I can’t even call him ’Sensen’ anymore?’

Yusen abruptly sat up. "As you wish."

’She always knew how to stir his emotions. When he couldn’t see her, even thinking about her didn’t make him lose control like this.’

He suddenly started to regret bringing her back.

’All that talk about needing someone to warm his bed...’

’In reality, he could have just found someone to watch over her and make sure she wasn’t bullied again.’

Yusen had intended to leave.

But when he heard Miss Rabbit’s soft sobs, his figure, already at the door, froze. After a few seconds of hesitation, he suddenly turned back.

He yanked Miss Rabbit up from the bed. The dead silence in his ice-blue eyes was finally replaced by a flicker of suppressed fury. "What are you crying for? Can we or can we not part on good terms?"

Yu Zhizhi’s eyes and the tip of her nose were red. She didn’t speak, only letting out soft sobs. She realized that Yusen had, in the end, been swept away by the wind.

The person before her was no longer the boy who had built snowmen with her.

She tried hard to hold back her tears.

Yusen stared intently at her. Miss Rabbit hadn’t changed much; she still had that same carefree air. She smiled when she was happy and cried when she was sad, unable to hide the slightest emotion.

He gripped her wrist tightly. His breathing grew heavy, then slowly softened.

’—Forget it.’

’What’s the point of arguing with her?’

’In any case, their relationship could only stop here. It couldn’t advance even half a step.’

’That’s why he had to return to square one.’

’If loving someone was this painful, then he would rather not love at all.’

’Never again.’

He released her hand and turned to leave.

This time, he didn’t hesitate.

It was more like a hasty escape.

Yusen was afraid that if he stayed even a second longer, the resolve he had fought so hard to find would be shaken by her...

Yu Zhizhi lay back down on the bed, tears sliding from the corners of her eyes and wetting the pillow. This was completely different from the reunion she had imagined.

She had thought that if she just explained things clearly to Sensen, they could go back to how they were.

But that didn’t happen...

Sensen was now rejecting her attempts to get close. If this was what he wanted, then she was willing to do as he said and part on good terms.

Yu Zhizhi wiped the tears from her face. She began to slowly accept the reality that the Mermaid Youth was gone.

Just then, a system notification sound echoed in her mind—

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on unlocking the fifth main quest. You are required to conquer an adult male of the Shark Clan (status unlimited) within two months. Success will be marked by conception and giving birth. Failure or exceeding the time limit will result in obliteration! Please hurry, Host. The countdown begins now—]

Yu Zhizhi hadn’t heard the system issue a quest for a long time and was momentarily stunned.

When she came to her senses, she suddenly realized—the main quest had begun!

—The Shark Clan?!

Her face paled slightly. She quickly sat up and checked the quest details again, wanting to confirm the specific information.

’It really is the Shark Clan...’

The mere word "shark" made her tremble.

At that moment, a face involuntarily appeared in Yu Zhizhi’s mind. If she remembered correctly, Lord Shen He was a male of the Shark Clan.

And what’s more, he was a Great White Shark...

’Should I try to conquer him?’

A conflicted expression appeared on Yu Zhizhi’s face. Shen He was even harder to approach than Yusen. He had been quite nice on the ship, but he became a completely different person once they were on land.

’Maybe I should try a different shark.’

With this thought in mind, she couldn’t wait to find Buli as soon as dawn broke.

"Sharks?" Buli heard Miss Rabbit’s question and thought for a moment. "There are soldiers from the Shark Clan in the legion, but they can’t enter the Royal Palace."

"Ms. Zhi Zhi, if you want a Shark Clan soldier to protect you, you could request one from Lord Shen He."
