Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands

Yu Zhizhi left the Divine Hall Illusion Realm.

She returned to the book house to find that it was already dark. After changing out of her purple gown, she put it in a bamboo basket in the backyard.

At night, the bamboo shadows swayed, and the crescent moon hid behind dark clouds.

Wisps of steam rose from the hot water in the bath.

Yu Zhizhi slid into the water. She was so anxious she felt like she was holding her breath. Unable to help herself, she submerged her entire body, leaving only her two rabbit ears poking above the surface.

BLUB BLUB BLUB...

Bubbles rose to the surface of the water.

This was the sight that greeted the Duke upon his return.

The little rabbit was completely submerged in the bath, her fluffy ears soaked. After a moment, she slowly moved to the edge and reached up to rub them, as if cleaning them.

When Yu Zhizhi looked up, she saw the Duke standing by the bath. Her heart leaped into her throat as if she had a guilty conscience, and she instinctively wanted to duck back under the water—

She suddenly envied Sensen, who could even sleep at the bottom of the water.

Unfortunately, she could only hold her breath for a short while.

The Duke watched her antics in the water with amusement, and the gloom that had been weighing on his heart mostly dissipated.

A knock sounded from outside.

He slowly turned around.

"Come inside once you’re done washing."

It was cold in the courtyard.

With that, the Duke left.

Yu Zhizhi nodded lightly. She watched the Duke until he was gone, then climbed out of the water and wrapped herself in a towel. ’Thankfully... Zero didn’t leave any marks, except for that one spot on my chest.’

Clutching the towel to her chest, she slipped quietly behind a screen in the book house. Peeking out, she saw the Duke in the courtyard, speaking in low tones with a subordinate.

After changing into a white nightgown, Yu Zhizhi burrowed under the covers and turned to face the wall. When she heard the door open, she quickly squeezed her eyes shut and pretended to be asleep.

The Duke came in.

He glanced at the screen and walked toward the backyard.

When the Duke returned, he was faintly damp. He sat on the edge of the bed and saw the little female’s rabbit ears twitch, giving away her feigned sleep. A smile played on his lips as he gathered her into his arms from behind.

"Asleep? So soon?"

His warm breath brushed against her ear.

Yu Zhizhi kept her eyes closed, her eyelashes trembling lightly. She didn’t make a sound.

His little pet, fresh from her bath, smelled wonderful.

The Duke slowly turned her to face him and pressed a kiss to her lips. In the darkness, he watched the little rabbit pretending to sleep, saw how she was struggling to keep up the act, and felt an urge to laugh.

He played along, feigning ignorance. "You’re really asleep?"

Yu Zhizhi kept her eyes shut, not daring to move. Her eyelids fluttered. A moment later, a warm kiss landed on them.

Whenever the Duke returned, he would be all over her for a long time.

His kisses trailed down to her neck. Just as he was about to pull open the collar of her nightgown, she quickly grabbed it shut. "D-Duke, you’re back..."

The Duke looked up, and their eyes met.

The night was still and silent.

The book house was pitch-black, making the little rabbit’s eyes seem incredibly bright. She appeared a bit shy, her gaze darting away from his.

"I-I’m really sleepy today. I want to go to sleep..."

"What did you do all day to be so tired?" The Duke’s thumb caressed her cheek, a hint of scrutiny in his golden, slitted pupils.

He had asked Dai Li for a report the moment he returned.

The little rabbit had shut herself in her room all afternoon, seemingly practicing her Healing Skill.

"Just... I read for a bit."

Yu Zhizhi suddenly hugged the Duke, burying her face in his chest. "Where did you go this afternoon? Did you go see Miss Yu Xiang?"

She was trying to change the subject.

"Do you want me to go see her?" The Duke’s tone was calm, betraying no emotion.

’Did I want him to go, or not?’

Yu Zhizhi paused for a moment. Thinking of that gentle and tranquil Jinshe lady, she murmured, "If Miss Yu Xiang had something important, then you should have gone to see her."

The Duke’s eyes narrowed. He had the sudden urge to haul his little pet up and give her a firm spank—

’What was wrong with her? Wanting him to go see another female?’

Although Yu Zhizhi’s face was buried in the Duke’s chest, she could feel the shift in his mood. She hugged his waist tighter. "I’m so sleepy, I want to go to sleep... I want you to hold me."

The Duke’s mood softened slightly.

He stroked the little female’s rabbit ears. He still wanted to punish her properly, but in the end, he simply held her—

The little rabbit rarely said such things.

He tucked the covers around her and stared grimly at the wall. "Go to sleep. If you’re not asleep in three minutes, you’ll be in for it."

Yu Zhizhi quickly closed her eyes.

At first, she was very worried, but then she just fell asleep.

「The next day.」

By the time she woke up, the Duke had already gone to the Royal Palace.

Yu Zhizhi washed up and ate breakfast, then retreated to the study by herself and took out the Bright Moon Diary.

Within the diary, she found a clear path of progression.

In the beginning stages, one could not directly perform an Evolution for a Beastman.

Only upon reaching the second stage would one gain the ability for Evolution, but the failure rate was very high, requiring attempt after attempt.

Daily practice was crucial.

The diary detailed that even a healthy Beastman whose Beast Bone was not damaged could undergo Evolution.

However, ultimate success in Evolution was not only related to the Strength of the Bright Moon Divine Position. More fundamentally, it depended on the Beastman’s own Physique—whether it could withstand the strengthening of the Beast Bone.

Yu Zhizhi took careful notes.

She was now healing Little Amon every day. Once Little Amon was cured, her Experience Points should be enough for her to advance to the second stage.

Then, she could perform a Beast Bone Evolution for Tang Luo Ke.

With Tang Luo Ke’s Physique, he would absolutely be able to withstand the strengthening of his Beast Bone—

Or rather, this was what he needed most right now.

When she had left the Royal Palace, Yu Zhizhi had learned from the young physician that the current treatment plans involved forcibly suppressing Tang Luo Ke’s Strength, causing him to endure immense pain every day.

’I hope I can level up soon,’ she thought. ’And when I treat Tang, I hope I can succeed on the first try.’

’But I’ve never performed an Evolution for anyone before...’

Yu Zhizhi’s gaze drifted through the window and landed on the vast lotus pond in the book house’s courtyard. The red Little Octopus was happily waving its tentacles, puffing itself up on the surface of the water and floating around like an inflatable ball.

...Huh?

A thought suddenly struck Yu Zhizhi. ’The Little Octopus has always had very low spiritual power; it can’t even take on a human form. I’ve never checked its Beast Bone... I wonder if it’s like Wild Dog was, with its Beast Bone having been removed?’

A slight smile touched Yu Zhizhi’s lips at the thought of Wild Dog.

The last Beastman recorded in the diary was Wild Dog. That was why after going to Sun Ridge, Wild Dog had gotten his wish and received a Beast Bone Evolution.

Last time in Luosa Town, she heard from the Duke that Wild Dog, who had joined the Knight Alliance, had specially come to help her.

Otherwise, she might have been caught and dragged back by the Big Shark before she even reached the shore.

Yu Zhizhi stood up from her chair, walked to the window, and waved at the Little Octopus in the Youlian Pond.

The Little Octopus was in the middle of playing when it saw the Rabbit Clan female calling to it.

It leaped from the blue Youlian Pond and shot toward the book house’s windowsill like a kite.
