Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands
Chapter 255: Brothers’ War (Part 2)Yusen strode out of the hall without breaking his pace.
The term "older brother" was exceptionally grating to his ears. ’His relationship with Shen He wasn’t good enough for them to be called brothers.’
On the Beast World Planet, any so-called warmth between half-brothers sharing a mother was virtually nonexistent.
And if it did exist, it was merely a superficial illusion.
At a look from Lord Shen He, Buli walked forward and handed a letter to Prince Yusen.
Yusen saw the notice.
The name on the signature line—
[Rabbit Clan · Zhi Zhi.]
His legs suddenly felt as heavy as lead, as if he couldn’t take another step.
With the look of someone enjoying a good show, Shen He said, "You have good taste, don’t you, brother?"
Yusen stared at the notice, his ice-blue eyes dark and cold. A wisp of Ice Qi rose from his fingertips, and frost began to form along his arms, neck, and cheeks.
"The reason?"
Shen He tapped his knee with the fingers of his left hand, his right elbow resting on the back of his chair. An arrogant smile spread across his face. "I need a wife to bear my children."
"Does she agree?" Yusen, realizing his loss of composure, closed his eyes. The Ice Qi surrounding him gradually dissipated.
"She will agree," Shen He said, his tone utterly arrogant. "Perhaps one day, Miss Rabbit will come crying and begging me."
Outside the door, Yu Zhizhi shivered when she heard the words "Miss Rabbit."
’The shark often called her that...’
’Could it be...’
’No way!’
’Doesn’t he despise the Valoran Empire? And I’m from Valoran, no matter how you look at it. How could he possibly want to marry me?’
’It can’t be because of what happened that night, can it? Does Lord Shen He want to take responsibility?’
Yu Zhizhi lowered her head, her little white rabbit Beast Form hiding behind the doorframe.
’I... I was just on a mission! I don’t need him to take responsibility.’
’The truth is, I’ve been waiting for Yusen to finish his business in the Royal Palace and take me away.’
’If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to find a way to escape on my own...’
’Relations between the Deep Sea Empire and the Valoran Empire are so tense. I definitely can’t stay here long-term. What if war breaks out and they use me as a sacrificial pawn?’
A heavy weight settled in Yusen’s heart. His chest felt as if it had been pierced by a blunt object. There was no clean, sharp pain, only the numb sensation of a dull blade sawing through flesh—a feeling that ebbed and flowed with no rhyme or reason, shifting from light to heavy and back again.
His fingertips trembled slightly.
’—Forget it.’
’Just forget it.’
’I accepted it long ago, didn’t I?’
’Whether it’s the Duke or Louis... Zhi Zhi will enter into a permanent marriage contract with someone else one day.’
’And as for him...’
’He’s just an outsider.’
’A spectator.’
Yusen’s ice-blue eyes were utterly lifeless. He said faintly, "Is that so? Should I congratulate you in advance?"
Before Shen He could respond, he added, "I wish you a happy marriage. May you get what you desire."
The words didn’t sound much like a blessing.
Outside, Buli’s heart pounded nervously.
’Does Lord Shen He really have to bring this up so soon? What if something unexpected happens...’
’Besides, the relationship between Prince Yusen and Ms. Zhi Zhi really seems to have changed.’
’Even after hearing what Lord Shen He said, Prince Yusen showed no intention of stopping him.’
Shen He suddenly laughed. "Are you so sure she won’t choose me?"
Yusen replied, "That is her freedom."
Shen He raised an eyebrow. "You think you’re so noble? So detached? Have you ever stopped to think how miserable the rest of Miss Rabbit’s life will be if she really marries me?"
Seeing the Mermaid Youth’s unmoving back, Shen He’s tone grew even more mocking—
"You can’t possibly still be fooling yourself, telling yourself that her life has nothing to do with you?"
"How ridiculous. I never knew a Mermaid’s heart could be taken back. It’s like that Heart Scale you tore out—can it grow back?"
A Mermaid’s Heart Scale...
A permanent scar remained on Yusen’s chest. It was a Mermaid’s most precious possession; each Mermaid has only one.
"Is it fun, pretending you don’t care?"
A sneer played on Shen He’s lips. "Go on, keep this up. You finally escaped the Glacier, so go hide in your undersea world and be a numb royal puppet for the rest of your life."
"Then again, you already have an heir, so I suppose your life is complete."
"Naturally, you don’t need to worry whether Miss Rabbit lives or dies."
Shen He’s tone was utterly scathing and his words were sharp. He showed no concern that the guards at the door were witnessing a farce among nobility.
Yusen slowly clenched his fists.
In that moment, a flood of memories came to him.
He thought of Zero Star Street, of her cheerful voice as she spoke with the Duke. He thought of Divine Gift Mansion, of the suggestive gasps coming from inside the room. He thought of the final match at Paradise, of Tang Luo Ke holding her in his arms. He thought of the end in the domain, of the girl crying as she kissed the monstrous Spider...
’There were so many people by her side.’
’Even without him.’
’She would be just fine.’
’To Zhi Zhi, he was just a less-than-beautiful interlude.’
’Nothing special.’
"...She will be happy."
Yusen murmured.
The words weren’t a rebuttal; they were more for himself.
They were his blessing.
The youth turned and started to walk away.
Shen He let out a low chuckle, a shadow falling over his sharp, deep-set features. "Can you guarantee that some other male will take good care of Miss Rabbit?"
"If one day, she falls into my hands—"
The smile on the shark’s lips twisted into a predatory grin. "I’ll toy with her until she breaks!"
Outside the door, Buli’s eyes widened in astonishment.
’Ahhh! Lord Shen He, don’t say such things! Miss Rabbit is right there listening!’
’She’ll hate you if you talk like that!’
Sure enough, Buli glanced over and saw the little rabbit in her Beast Form, who was hiding by the railing, tremble violently. She had clearly heard Lord Shen He’s unfiltered words. The little white rabbit shrank further into the corner, cowering by the threshold and trembling uncontrollably.
At that very instant, Yusen, who had almost left the Political Hall, spun around. A ferocious glint erupted from the depths of his eyes. In a flash, Ice Qi exploded outwards, freezing the entire hall. An ice pillar shot from Yusen’s palm, piercing straight through the other man’s right eye!
SQUELCH—
This ultimate ice, born of towering rage, had not been seen in the Deep Sea Empire for a long, long time.
At the front of the Political Hall, Shen He’s imperious posture remained unchanged. His pierced right eye and the surrounding cheek were a mangled, bloody mess from which fresh blood spurted.
And yet, a fervent smile appeared on the man’s face—
’—Yes, just like this!’
’The Strength sealed inside Yusen’s body has finally emerged!’
’Even if it was just for an instant!’
The young man looked as if he had emerged from a frozen hell. A layer of frost coated his short brown hair, and his body began to tremble violently. Cold air drifted from his ice-blue pupils, and his every breath came out as a white, frosty mist.
In that single instant, upon hearing Shen He’s words, it was as if an invisible, giant hand had seized his heart and crushed it...
Waves of unprecedented pain washed over him. Yusen stared daggers at the provocative shark before him.
"If you dare to hurt her, I will kill you."
Shen He pulled the ice pillar from his face. New flesh slowly regenerated over his mangled right cheek. "You want to kill me? You’re not worthy."
