Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands

Chapter 265: Inside and Outside the Dream

A faint itch tickled her wrist. Yu Zhizhi heard someone calling her name. She groggily opened her eyes and saw, on the stark white ceiling of the hospital room, the nearly transparent, half-beast form of a spider.

His body was entwined with white spider silk, suspended like some bizarre work of art.

’The Lord of Paradise!’

Yu Zhizhi opened her mouth, but she found that she couldn’t seem to make a sound.

Compared to the last time she’d seen him so clearly, the Lord of Paradise before her now was barely there, like an ethereal phantom.

On the man’s pale face, his mismatched eyes glowed faintly in the darkness. He stared wordlessly at the young Rabbit Clan female. After a long moment, he seemed to utter two words.

"...So far."

’So far?’

’What’s so far?’

Just as Yu Zhizhi was about to speak to the Paradise Leader, she saw his emerald green eye slowly turn pitch-black. The white spider silk loosened slightly, and his form lowered from the ceiling until he was hovering just above her.

A stir went through Yu Zhizhi’s heart. "Louis?"

’She thought she was speaking.’

’It’s strange, it seems I can’t make a sound in the dream.’

Louis pressed the bridge of his nose. "I just entered the dream and the Spider already got out."

After the hunting season ended, that guy was as good as dead.

The moment he caught her scent, he tried to snatch control of the body.

Louis had barely managed to suppress him.

In private, they argued incessantly. Neither was willing to back down on who would be the one to perform the next Dream Entry.

In the end, Louis was the one who secured the rare opportunity.

He was here on a mission this time.

Seeing the girl beneath him, a hint of a smile touched his eyes. She opened her arms to Louis, as if asking for a hug.

Louis smiled and embraced her.

"Long time no see."

The last time they met in a dream, the distance had been too great. Compounded by their physical discomfort, his power to control the dream had waned, and he’d barely gotten to spend any real time with her.

Those few brief minutes had vanished in an instant.

She wouldn’t remember a dream as shallow as that.

It was like a fleeting bubble.

"Louis..." Yu Zhizhi hugged him, burying her face in the crook of his neck.

The sensation of his touch gradually grew clearer.

"Are you all okay?" Yu Zhizhi asked.

"Don’t worry, we’re fine. Everything in Paradise is back to normal. The hunting season is over, and it’s another three months until the next one."

Louis gently stroked the head of the young female in his arms—

’This means we have three months to find her.’

"What about the little one?" Yu Zhizhi calculated the time. ’It’s been over a month.’ "Has it hatched yet?"

"Not yet, but it should be soon."

Hatching times varied among different clans, and sometimes it depended on the hatchling’s individual condition.

Yu Zhizhi quietly hugged Louis. She knew this was a dream.

So much time had passed in a flash since she’d left Paradise.

The Deep Sea Empire was very, very far from Paradise...

"Zhi Zhi, you’re in the Deep Sea, aren’t you?" Louis’s voice drifted from above her, yet it sounded as if it came from a distant horizon.

She didn’t make a sound.

Louis let out a soft chuckle. He cradled the back of her neck, tilted her chin up, and gave her a light peck. "Speak."

Yu Zhizhi wasn’t sure if news of her being in the Deep Sea Empire had gotten out.

She just shyly tried to turn away.

Louis turned her face back and continued to give her light kisses.

"Who captured you? Was it that guy named Shen He?"

Yu Zhizhi’s rabbit ears twitched.

She hadn’t expected Louis to guess correctly right away.

Seeing her reaction, Louis let out a low chuckle. Someone had merely spotted traces of the Hanhai Army, so he had just asked on a whim. Still, whatever power went to such great lengths to abduct the little rabbit and then lock down all information about it couldn’t be an ordinary faction.

"Louis..." Yu Zhizhi said worriedly, "Don’t come here. I’m not in any danger."

"Is that so?" Louis’s thumb gently brushed the bandage on the little rabbit’s face. "Then what’s this?"

"I fell..."

"Zhi Zhi," Louis said suddenly.

Yu Zhizhi looked up at him. For some reason, her heart began to beat a little faster.

"Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing."

His body still hadn’t fully recovered from the final competition in Paradise. On top of that, being away from Paradise suppressed the Spider’s Strength, so Louis wouldn’t recklessly charge into the Deep Sea Domain.

"Okay," Yu Zhizhi replied.

Louis gave her lips a light peck. "Good girl."

"Tell me, are you in the Deep Sea Imperial City?"

Before the little rabbit had a chance to think, Louis kissed her again. This time, it wasn’t a light peck, but a long, deep kiss.

Until...

...she was breathless.

Yu Zhizhi’s mind went blank. She couldn’t think, only nod on instinct.

"The Royal Palace?"

Louis punctuated each question with a kiss.

Kissed until she was dizzy and disoriented, Yu Zhizhi blurted out all the honest answers.

"...Mhm."

"What’s the specific location?"

"...Bi-Bishui Pavilion." She panted softly, trying to turn her face away, but Louis stopped her.

"What are your plans?"

"I might... be going to the Chelsea Territory..."

Yusen had told her about it before.

The Undersea Palace needed more Healing Officers.

And in the Chelsea Territory, someone had awakened a Healing-type talent.

Yusen was going to personally extend an invitation on behalf of the Undersea Palace. When that time came, he would take her with him and leave the Imperial Palace.

They would go to the Chelsea Territory together.

Yu Zhizhi felt her whole body flush with heat. Louis seemed to lift her up. She clung to his human torso and felt the Spider’s limbs slowly sink into her.

’My face must be completely red.’

’It has to be.’

’Good thing this is just a dream...’

As she thought this, Yu Zhizhi opened her mouth and bit down on Louis’s shoulder.

「In the hospital room.」

The young woman was curled up, her body trembling lightly. A faint crimson blush crept over her snow-white skin, an evocative sight.

Thin moonlight spilled in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Yusen was wide awake. He watched the little rabbit, who looked as if she were experiencing something painful.

’Is she having a nightmare?’

He leaned in closer.

Then, he heard her soft moan. "...Louis."

Yusen’s body went rigid. He hadn’t expected to hear Louis’s name here.

Back on Zero Star Street, he had always been on guard against him.

’That detestable Spider.’

’Luring the little rabbit away while I was gone.’

The young female’s dark hair fanned out across the pillow, making her snow-white face look especially heart-wrenching. Yusen leaned in close, a sour note in his voice. "You’re not allowed to say his name. You’re not allowed to dream of him."

The Mermaid Youth’s thumb gently caressed her soft lips. The next second, he leaned down and kissed her. "You have to dream of me, you understand?"

He licked at her lips delicately.

Yu Zhizhi’s body grew even hotter. She groggily opened her eyes, seeming to wake up. She saw Louis, but in the blink of an eye, he had turned into Yusen.

She murmured, "Prince You Sen..."

On the hospital bed, Yusen’s fingertips undid the first button of her light purple dress. "Call me Sensen."

「In the dream.」

Louis sensed a rival.

’Who is it?’

He stopped, wrapping the young woman’s body in spider silk and forcing her to turn her face toward him. "Who is with you?"

The question-and-answer game was still in progress.

Yu Zhizhi murmured, "Sensen..."
