Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands
Chapter 245: Seducing the Shark! (Middle)In the Deep Sea Palace, the faint moonlight spilled through the window, scattering across the crushed-jade floor.
Yu Zhizhi was so nervous she could barely breathe.
She approached slowly, set the tea tray aside, then gripped the pheromones awarded by the system, preparing to drink them.
Just as her fingers closed around the edge of the slender glass vial, she felt a pair of eyes watching her from the shadows. Yu Zhizhi looked up, and her body instantly froze.
The shark lying on the bed had woken up at some point.
The man’s gray eyes were hazy with intoxication. He squinted at the "medicine" in the little female’s hands and her gradually paling face.
—as if she’d been caught doing something she shouldn’t have.
The corners of Shen He’s mouth lifted in what might have been a smile, but a chill entered his gray eyes.
He sat up and held out his right palm. When the little rabbit didn’t react, he raised it slightly.
His meaning was obvious.
He wanted her to hand over her "weapon."
The room was silent; neither of them spoke. Yu Zhizhi’s first instinct was to hide the pheromones, but the shark had already seen them. It was a little late for that now.
Yu Zhizhi lowered her gaze and slowly approached him.
The little female looked as guilty as a thief, her rabbit ears drooping, not daring to meet his eyes. Shen He watched as she placed the medicine from her hands into his palm.
Her fingertips brushed his palm for just an instant before pulling away.
He stared at the cool glass vial in his palm, thinking of the many similar incidents over the years. Those foolish people, always trying to challenge the limits of his Regeneration talent, using every method imaginable.
He just hadn’t expected this little rabbit to sneak in while he was drunk.
Perhaps it was because her disguise had been so convincing lately.
Shen He hadn’t been on guard against her at all.
Even Buli had let her pass without question. Had it been anyone else, Buli would have never let them into the room.
He had truly underestimated this little female from Varolan.
Shen He sat casually on the edge of the bed, toying with the medicine in his right hand. He peered at the faint, light purple liquid inside. "Let me guess what kind of damage this can do to my body."
"A highly corrosive agent that attacks the internal organs? Or perhaps something that causes irreversible damage to the cranial nerves? Or maybe..."
Shen He raised his cold, gray eyes. "...something that corrodes the Golden Beast Bone, thereby affecting my spiritual power and talent?"
He’d seen countless toxins.
What a pity...
No matter how severe the physical trauma, his body would eventually reform itself. Just like a shark’s teeth, which grow back continuously. Once destroyed, new, sharp teeth would quickly emerge.
He played with the tiny bottle of medicine in his palm.
Yu Zhizhi stared at him, stunned.
She had even thought Lord Shen He would just drink it without a care. After all, his voice was filled with ridicule, as if laughing at her foolishness.
But he didn’t.
Shen He was contemplating whether this medicine was some new type of biochemical weapon developed by Varolan. After all, they possessed the most dazzlingly brilliant Healing prodigy on the All Beast Star.
Medicine and poison were two sides of the same coin.
"I’ll give you five minutes to think about how you’re going to answer me to my satisfaction."
Shen He placed the purple medicine on the bedside table. Even sitting on the edge of the bed, he only had to lift his gaze slightly to see the little female’s nervous and uneasy expression.
Yu Zhizhi stood right in front of him.
Although the man hadn’t made a move, Yu Zhizhi felt as if this were an interrogation.
If she didn’t answer properly, she would suffer a cruel fate.
Seeing the little rabbit remain silent, Shen He’s rock-gray pupils darkened. "Are you calculating in your head if Yusen can get here in time to save you?"
"You can take that gamble. See if he’s faster than I am at killing."
The chilling, naked threat, uttered by a ruthless shark, sent a sudden shiver down Yu Zhizhi’s spine.
She remembered...
...that ship.
The first time she boarded it, the deck was covered in blood. Later, she overheard their idle chatter and learned that all ten thousand tourists on board had been killed.
All just to catch one spy.
He had ordered the death of everyone on that ship.
And that day, when they disposed of the spy, Yu Zhizhi had been there.
She squeezed her eyes shut, her voice trembling. "I... I’ll talk..."
"Mm," Shen He said, shifting his position. He leaned against the headboard, drew up his right leg, and rested his wrist casually on his knee. "I’m all ears."
If it had been anyone else who’d dared to do such a thing, he would have already had Buli take them away for execution.
But as for her...
Shen He didn’t mind hearing the little rabbit’s excuses.
’This is, after all, a pawn I chose myself.’
’Before she serves her purpose, I won’t take her life so easily.’
Although the man’s posture was casual, the oppressive aura he exuded as the Imperial Marshal of the Empire hadn’t diminished in the slightest.
Yu Zhizhi didn’t know the extent of the shark’s spiritual power, but judging from the respectful attitude everyone else in the Deep Sea Empire showed him, it had to be incredibly high.
Yu Zhizhi clutched the hem of her dress with both hands. "That’s not a toxin. It won’t cause any harm to Lord Shen He’s body."
"Oh?" The man’s expression was calm.
"And... it’s not for Lord Shen He to drink."
Shen He stared at the little rabbit before him. She seemed terrified, her body and voice trembling, her snow-white rabbit ears drooping as if she wished she could awaken an Invisibility Technique on the spot and make a run for it.
"It’s for...?" he prompted, playing along with feigned curiosity.
Yu Zhizhi felt utterly mortified. She’d never intended to poison Shen He; she had only snuck in while he was drunk to complete her mission.
The bottle of pheromones was a reward from the system.
Its full name was [Pheromones That Drive All Males Mad].
Her head sank even lower, her voice barely a whisper. But deep down, it was as if she’d decided to throw caution to the wind and blurted it all out, "That’s for me to drink. It... it... after I drink it, it can make males, it can..."
She was rambling incoherently.
Shen He, however, was quite patient. "It can what?"
’Let’s see what kind of story the little rabbit comes up with.’
’Depending on what she cooks up, I might even consider sparing her.’
Yu Zhizhi’s cheeks burned. "...It can make Lord Shen He... go into heat."
Shen He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected her to say that. He thought he must have misheard—
’What did the little female just say?’
’Go into heat?’
Yu Zhizhi took a deep breath. She opened her eyes and looked tremblingly at the man before her. "I can drink it to show you. It’s really not poison. If you don’t believe me, you can send the medicine for testing. It’s really, truly not poison."
Yu Zhizhi had drunk this type of pheromones twice before.
She’d had no adverse reactions.
She was still alive and kicking now.
So... it had to be non-toxic.
The shark was still reeling from her statement—"It can make Lord Shen He go into heat." He glanced at the purple medicine.
"What if you drink it and your body undergoes some kind of mutation, or you even become a source of contamination? You know the truce only lasts for half a year. If I were to become contaminated, the situation would be very dire for the Empire."
Desperate to prove her "innocence," Yu Zhizhi said, "Lord Shen He can tie me up. I’ll drink the medicine. I won’t mutate, much less degenerate."
’It’s just an ordinary medicine to induce heat in males...’
"Tie you up?"
Shen He’s gaze returned to the little rabbit, his throat tightening slightly.
’Doesn’t that mean...’
’...I can do whatever I want with her?’
