Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands

Hearing Buli’s suggestion, Yu Zhizhi’s expression became a little evasive.

...’The reason she was looking for a Shark Clan male was something she couldn’t tell anyone.’

’Should I go ask Lord Shen He for permission?’

It was his legion, his soldiers. Without his consent, no one could enter the Royal Palace.

Yu Zhizhi thought for a moment, then nodded lightly.

Buli brought Yu Zhizhi to the Royal Palace’s training ground. Lord Shen He performed his rigorous morning exercises there every day, like clockwork for the past ten years.

The entrance to the Royal Palace’s Miracle Training Ground was heavily guarded.

The man, having just finished his first round of training, was wrapping his left arm with gauze. A long saber was stuck in the ground before him, its blade mottled with bloodstains. His bare upper body was powerfully muscled under the sunlight, and he disdainfully watched the little female of the Rabbit Clan slowly approach.

As she drew closer, he could clearly see her somewhat pale complexion, and...

...her eyes, slightly swollen from crying.

’Looks like she cried all night. She was taken away by Yusen. What did he say? What did he do?’

’...*Do*?’

That single word made him pause in wrapping the gauze. He suppressed the unusual fluctuation in his heart, a smile freezing on his lips. His gray eyes, like those of a predator lying in wait, were fixed on the approaching prey.

"Lord Shen He."

Yu Zhizhi lifted her deep purple court maid’s long skirt and curtsied slightly.

She folded her hands in front of her. On the way here, Yu Zhizhi had prepared her speech, but facing Shen He, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread.

"It was my fault for injuring the esteemed guest from the Octopus Clan before."

Shen He raised an eyebrow. ’This little rabbit got her wish and was ’rescued’ by Yusen. Why would she need to apologize?’

"So?" The man’s voice was deep and rich, betraying little emotion.

"I think I was probably just too scared at the time. He suddenly rushed out, so..." Yu Zhizhi raised her eyes and said earnestly, "Lord Shen He, if Bishui Pavilion had one more soldier to protect me, something like this wouldn’t happen again."

’All this buildup from the little female, just to ask for a soldier?’

Shen He finished wrapping the gauze on his left arm. He grasped his long saber and began his second round of training.

The blade glinted coldly, the red bloodstains mottling it like cracks.

Yu Zhizhi waited quietly.

Buli stood to the side. Although he didn’t know why Miss Rabbit suddenly wanted a soldier, Lord Shen He hadn’t refused outright, which meant there was room for negotiation.

The second round of training ended.

Sweat trickled clearly down Shen He’s spine. His breathing was slightly heavy. Glancing at the little rabbit waiting obediently to the side, he tossed the saber to Buli.

"Who do you want?"

It was a rare concession from Shen He.

Besides, she was just a captive who had been brought here.

"A Tiger Whale?"

He remembered that on the ship, the little female had loved playing with the Tiger Whale Soldiers.

Yu Zhizhi slowly shook her head.

The image of Sea Snake Siqi appeared in Shen He’s mind. He gave the young woman a meaningful look. "A snake?"

’It’s been so long since she came ashore. Is she still hung up on snakes?’

Yu Zhizhi shook her head again.

Buli held the saber, standing silently to the side. But for some reason, he was very much looking forward to hearing Miss Rabbit’s answer. ’What would Lord Shen He’s reaction be?’

Yu Zhizhi said softly, "I would like... a soldier from the Shark Clan."

’If she could have a shark soldier protecting her every day, she should be able to find plenty of opportunities to complete her mission.’

A shark.

Shen He’s gray eyes narrowed slightly. The wind in the Miracle Training Ground dried the sweat on his body. He stared intently at this little female rabbit who had come to ask him for a "soldier," thinking of certain noble females in the Empire who had a penchant for keeping males as pets...

He tugged at the corner of his mouth. "You like sharks?"

Yu Zhizhi was startled, but she nodded instinctively. A Great White Shark was standing right in front of her; she didn’t dare shake her head in his presence.

Shen He was very satisfied with her response.

But he still refused.

"You’re safe with Buli. You don’t need another guard from the Shark Clan at all."

The brown-haired young man glanced quickly at his master, trying to discern the meaning behind his words—

’Does that mean from today onward, I’m supposed to be Miss Rabbit’s personal guard?’

"If you really want a shark soldier, go find Yusen. You’re his person now. Can’t he satisfy you? Did you have to go through all this trouble to come find me?"

Yu Zhizhi’s expression faltered. She slowly lowered her head, not responding.

’Find Yusen?’

Her relationship with Yusen was very tense right now.

She didn’t even know how to bring up a normal request,

let alone...

’...something for the sake of her mission.’

She couldn’t possibly ask Yusen for "a male from the Shark Clan."

Yu Zhizhi left the Miracle Training Ground.

On the way back, Buli comforted her, "It’s alright, Ms. Zhi Zhi. Bishui Pavilion is very safe. I promise what happened last time won’t happen again."

That injured Little Octopus was from the Beast God’s Homeland. His family had been born to serve the divine effigies for generations.

They were an extremely ancient family on the Beast World Planet.

Their status was extraordinary.

This time, the elders of the Octopus Clan had demanded a severe punishment for Miss Rabbit, insisting she kneel and apologize before their Young Master.

Prince Yusen happened to return just then.

He had said only six words at the time—

"No apology. Tell him to get lost."

The Octopus elder was so angry his beard trembled, but he could only grit his teeth and watch the newly-appointed Prince Merfolk leave.

On her way back, Yu Zhizhi kept thinking about her mission.

’She couldn’t leave the Royal Palace, and Lord Shen He wouldn’t agree to assign a Shark Clan soldier for her personal protection. That means the only shark she could get close to was this Great White Shark...’

’But he’s Yusen’s older brother.’

’And he has a strange personality and is very difficult to get close to.’

Yu Zhizhi was very quiet on the way back. After entering Bishui Pavilion, she went straight to her room. She needed to think carefully about what to do next.

Just as she pushed the door open, she saw a figure with his back to her.

Yusen tilted his head slightly. From the shadow cast on the floor, he could tell she had returned.

This was their first meeting since last night.

Yu Zhizhi thought for a moment, then lifted her skirt with both hands and curtsied. "...Prince Yusen."

Yusen was unfastening the buttons on his sleeves. His fingers toyed with a metal button, his ice-blue eyes as if covered by a thin layer of snow. "Mm."

Standing by the door, Yu Zhizhi felt a little awkward. She clasped her hands tightly in front of her, hesitated for a moment, then slowly stepped forward. "Your Highness, let me help you."

’She wanted to do more to prove her ’value’.’

’She didn’t want to be driven away by Yusen one day...’

Yu Zhizhi slowly drew near.

Yusen’s eyes were calm.

Today he was wearing very formal attire of the Empire’s nobility: a form-fitting white dress uniform with a red silk cravat shaped like a rose on his chest, which accentuated the fair, delicate lines of his jaw.

Standing in front of Yusen, Yu Zhizhi realized that he seemed to have grown a little taller.

He was more mature than she remembered, somewhere between a boy and a young man.

She lowered her gaze and carefully undid the fastenings at his wrists. Her snow-white rabbit ears brushed against the young man’s cheek. A flicker went through Yusen’s ice-blue eyes, and he turned his head away, avoiding the contact.

After unfastening his sleeves, Yu Zhizhi reached for his belt.

Shen He, having just returned from the training ground, happened to see this very scene.
