Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands

[System: Rewards have been distributed. You can open your inventory to view or use them!]

After saying goodbye to the soldier, Yu Zhizhi returned to her room.

She eagerly opened her inventory and checked the details of the newly acquired item.

[Quest Item: Absolute Command (Single Use)]

[Description: Can be used on any selected Beastman. Any command issued to them within ten seconds is guaranteed to be obeyed.]

[Note: Once bound to a target, it cannot be changed. If no command is given within ten seconds, the item will be rendered useless.]

Yu Zhizhi closed the system inventory.

’Buli and Mimi have confessed their feelings for each other, so that’s why my side quest is complete...’ she thought, feeling quite happy. ’He must have gone out so early this morning to see Mimi, right?’

Mimi must have been so worried when she heard Buli was injured that she rushed to Black Tide Harbor overnight.

Having this new item gave her a small sense of security.

For now, Yu Zhizhi hadn’t decided what to use it for.

It was just...

The Hanhai Army was going to search for smugglers. Yu Zhizhi looked at the light blue communicator by her bed. She felt she should contact Yusen.

She couldn’t...

...stay on the warship any longer.

Yusen was still in the Chelsea Territory. A day and a night had passed, and she didn’t know what his situation was now.

Yu Zhizhi decided to just give it a try. She dialed the communicator number and waited quietly.

「Meanwhile.」

Yusen, having just finished a battle, was sitting on the frozen ground. He saw a transparent call window floating in the air displaying the name "Zhi Zhi." The snow-like pattern on his skin faded by half.

He answered.

"Sensen."

Her voice, that of his little rabbit, came through. "Mhm," Yusen replied, his own voice tinged with exhaustion as he switched the call to a video connection.

After fighting nonstop, all Yusen wanted right now was to see her properly.

He knew that his little female had been picked up by the Hanhai Army.

On the video screen, she seemed to be in a room. The ocean was faintly visible through the round window behind her.

The young woman sat on her bed, her rabbit eyes shining, her smile as sweet as nectar. The moment he saw her, the icy aura around Yusen completely dissipated.

Yu Zhizhi could see the Mermaid Youth sitting in a dark place, illuminated only by a faint light. His short, brown hair was flecked with ice and slightly curled. His beautiful, ice-blue eyes resembled sapphires treasured in the deep sea, and his delicate features were flawless from every angle.

Yusen still had the air of someone fresh from battle. He asked, "Are you doing okay with the Hanhai Army?"

Yu Zhizhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly.

The soldiers of the Hanhai Army had been perfectly polite...

...but still...

Yu Zhizhi couldn’t stop thinking about the detection device. She didn’t know what she would do if she were really identified as a smuggler. The shark-man’s tone when he mentioned smugglers had been so cold and cruel; she couldn’t help but tremble at the mere thought.

Yusen knew this was no ordinary call.

He even faintly sensed that something was wrong.

His little rabbit seemed deeply troubled.

Yusen’s fingertips trembled where they rested on his knee. His gaze remained fixed on the face of his little female in the video. "Is it because..."

His voice was extremely gentle. "You want to go back to Varolan?"

From the day in Bishui Pavilion when the little rabbit had tearfully called the Duke Mansion, Yusen knew she would one day return to Varolan.

She was always worried about the gravely ill Little Amon.

He had known from the very beginning that a day of parting would eventually come.

The moment he had her, the countdown to their separation had begun.

Yusen had long been mentally prepared.

He just hoped that day would come later, much later.

Yu Zhizhi’s eyes widened slightly. She hadn’t expected Yusen to voice the very thought that had just crossed her mind.

The Deep Sea...

...made her feel uneasy.

She spent every day on pins and needles.

But now, even though Yusen had asked her directly, the words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn’t say them.

Yu Zhizhi lowered her head, feeling utterly lost.

Yusen didn’t press her.

「After a long while.」

Yu Zhizhi slowly raised her head. "Sensen, can you... help me leave?"

She nervously clutched the hem of her skirt.

She didn’t even dare to look into the Mermaid Youth’s eyes.

"I can," Yusen agreed.

Yu Zhizhi was slightly stunned. She looked at him again, only to find that the Mermaid Youth’s eyes were rimmed with red.

Nearby, the Black-clothed Steward felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

He looked at his Highness. ’Only this Rabbit Clan Lady can sway His Highness’s emotions so easily,’ he thought.

’He’s so afraid of losing her...’

’...yet he still agreed.’

’He’s going to send her away personally.’

Yu Zhizhi’s eyes also turned red. "Sensen, don’t cry..."

’I hate seeing Sensen cry more than anything.’

’It makes me feel so awful...’

’As if I’ve done something terrible. I feel like such a bad person for always making Sensen cry.’

"Tomorrow, before dawn, go to the deck. I will find a way to get you away." As he spoke, Yusen’s palm covered the camera, and Yu Zhizhi’s video screen went dark.

The shark was fast. He had to figure out a way to create several routes to throw off his tracking.

"...Okay." Yu Zhizhi rubbed the corners of her eyes. She leaned back against the headboard and curled her legs up.

A silence fell between them on the eve of their departure.

It felt as if any words would be futile.

In the end, they remained that way until the connection finally cut out.

Yusen covered his eyes with one hand, too grief-stricken to say a single word.

The Black-clothed Steward sighed softly. "Your Highness, you could have asked her to stay. Even if it were just temporary, I’m sure Ms. Zhi Zhi would have considered it if you’d said something."

He could sense that Ms. Zhi Zhi cared very much about His Highness’s feelings as well.

"No..."

Yusen’s voice trembled lightly. He took a deep breath, feeling a sharp pain in his heart. "She... is very scared."

Although he didn’t know what had happened, Yusen could see the fear and panic on her face.

’Of course, I could have begged her to stay through tears, making her hesitate, making her heart ache for me.’

’Or, I could have used forceful means, like my father did to my mother.’

’—But that’s not what I want.’

What’s more...

Yusen’s tone was tinged with resentment. "Louis isn’t the only one who cares about her feelings. Anything he can do, I can do too."

The Deep Sea, as it was now, terrified his little rabbit.

So he wouldn’t force her to stay.

Yusen slowly opened his right hand. He looked down at the wisp of cold air gathering in his palm, gradually freezing into ice. "One day, I will make the Deep Sea Empire into a place she loves. I’ll make her want to stay from the bottom of her heart."

’Before that, it’s more important to reach the Sixth Rank as quickly as possible.’

’Glacier Sixth Rank, then bind with my little rabbit.’

’After Soul Resonance, I’ll be able to protect her at all times.’

Si Qi had originally intended to invite Ms. Zhi Zhi to a meal. At her door, he thought he heard the sound of soft sobs. His raised hand froze in mid-air, then slowly lowered.

He went to give a full report to Lord Shen He.
