Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands

Yu Zhizhi suddenly bit down on the snake’s tail. It was so cold! Even in the hot spring, it felt as frigid as if it had just been pulled from a snowdrift.

The Duke’s serpentine pupils contracted abruptly. He stared fixedly at the little female before him, her eyes red-rimmed from crying.

Her tiny teeth had no bite force; to him, it was no more than a tickle.

In fact...

From the Duke’s perspective, she wasn’t biting him at all. It was clearly a kiss.

The pool was veiled in hot steam as a cold spring rain began to fall, soaking the Duke’s ink-blue hair. A deep desire began to surface in his eyes. His black snake tail suddenly loosened its grip, and the little female, who had been coiled tightly within it, plummeted unexpectedly toward the bottom of the pool—

The pool, which had always seemed so shallow to Yu Zhizhi, suddenly felt bottomless.

She sank deeper and deeper. The Duke, with his human torso and snake tail, floated on the surface, growing more and more distant.

Yu Zhizhi thought she was going to drown!

Her first reaction was to reach out her hand towards the Duke, hoping he would pull her up.

But he remained motionless.

Yu Zhizhi was at her limit. She clapped her hands over her mouth, her pale little face already turning bright red from holding her breath underwater.

SPLASH—

The Duke plunged into the depths of the pool.

He swam toward the little female. Reaching her, he grabbed her wrist and kissed her without a moment’s hesitation.

In the water, his black snake tail moved languidly, once again coiling slowly around the little female in his embrace.

Soon, Yu Zhizhi’s back touched the stone floor of the pool. The kiss softened from forceful to gentle, becoming tender and lingering.

The spring night’s rain fell upon the surface, and from below, the spreading ripples looked hazy and brilliant.

She found she could breathe again once the Duke reached her.

She only realized later that a Spiritual Technique was enveloping her body.

Her body was cradled in the Duke’s hands.

Yu Zhizhi slowly bit the back of her hand, but the man before her quickly took it, slowly intertwining his fingers with hers in the water.

The Duke stared deeply at the little female before him.

In the deepest part of his nightmare.

Here, at the bottom of the water he feared most.

Entwined with her in passion.

’I want... to devour you completely...’

’I want... to become one with you.’

’I am so... hungry...’

’You can’t leave me.’

’Never ever.’

...

The spring rain lasted for several days. After that night, Yu Zhizhi fell ill. Her body grew weak; she drank bitter medicine and ate sweet candies.

The Duke spent the following days in the study.

He never mentioned the male from the Cat Clan again.

It was all like a dream.

As if he had never found out.

Teacher Dai Li brought her dinner.

Yu Zhizhi had no appetite.

Peeking through the folding screen, she saw the Duke’s silhouette stir. She quickly sat up, picked up the soup, and began sipping it in small mouthfuls.

When she was done, she burrowed back under the covers, hiding deep inside.

Before leaving the study, the Duke glanced at the bed. Ever since that day, the little rabbit had barely spoken a word, whether because of her illness or for some other reason.

She was becoming more and more disobedient.

A far cry from the pet he desired.

The Duke pushed open the door and stepped out. In the courtyard, his attendants bowed in succession.

Hiding under the covers, Yu Zhizhi slowly let out a sigh of relief. ’That incident... It should be over now, right?’

She felt her legs. ’Whew, they’re still in one piece.’

Just then, the system’s voice appeared in her mind—

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Conception successful! The birth will be in approximately one month. Please ensure a healthy pregnancy!]

Yu Zhizhi’s eyes lit up—

’I’m pregnant!’

’I’m pregnant with little kittens!’

’I want to check on the kittens...’

[System: Please wait. Performing life scan... Scan complete. Species: Black Cat. Quantity: Three. Vital Signs: Strong. Talent: Incubating, not yet formed. Please stay tuned.]

A small smile played on Yu Zhizhi’s lips. She gently caressed her abdomen. The thought of welcoming three little black kittens in a month filled her with happiness.

—’What would Zero’s reaction be if he found out?’

’Would he want the kittens?’

Generally, cubs of the Beast Clan are raised by the father’s family. But Zero’s identity was a mystery, so Yu Zhizhi couldn’t be sure what he would want.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to give him the kittens, as long as she could use the Divine Hall Illusion Realm.

’When I get the chance, I’ll go to the Divine Hall Illusion Realm again.’

’Some things are better said in person.’

The thought of the Divine Hall Illusion Realm made Yu Zhizhi think of the Duke. He barely left her side now—Ugh, it was nearly impossible to escape his watch.

Yu Zhizhi didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if she went into labor in the study. She wouldn’t even have a place to hide the Beast Eggs.

The door to the study was pushed open.

The Duke was back.

This time, he had only gone to Yu Meng’s room next door to check on its lessons, as was his custom.

Yu Zhizhi didn’t dare make a peep.

She heard footsteps stop beside the bed and scooted further in.

The Duke gazed at the lump huddled under the covers. His chiseled features were cloaked in shadow, his golden pupils glinting with a profound light.

Given his usual temperament—

When he was angry, he would give her the cold shoulder for a while.

Lock her up.

But ever since the last incident, no matter how frustrated he felt, the Duke was unwilling to let her out of his sight for even a second.

He would never forget the little rabbit’s silent teleportation.

He wouldn’t give her another chance to leave until he figured out how she’d done it.

Yu Zhizhi hid under the covers, biting her lip. The Duke seemed to be standing frozen by the bed, neither leaving nor sitting down...

After a long while, she felt the side of the bed dip.

The Duke stared at the folding screen. The mere thought of that alley cat made him want to hunt the creature down and skin him alive.

But he didn’t know who it was.

He had pressed her for a long time underwater, but the little female had only shaken her head, murmuring, "I don’t know him..."

’Doesn’t know him?’

’After several nights of passion, and she still ’doesn’t know him’?’

’Sooner or later, I’ll drag that cat out—’

The Duke’s hand slipped under the covers. He took hold of the little female’s shoulder, and before she could react, he pulled her completely into his embrace.

He had held back for a long time.

He hadn’t touched her in days.

He was sick with longing.

The Duke hugged her, burying his face in her shoulder and inhaling her faint, milky scent of jasmine.

"If I don’t come to you, will you never come to me?"

The man’s hoarse voice held a hint of complaint.

Yu Zhizhi’s cheek brushed against his forehead. She took a slow breath, her gaze faltering.

...What?

’Isn’t the Duke angry?’

’How could I dare to say anything?’

He just held her like that. This was his favorite way to hold her—a tight embrace, as if trying to press her into his very bones.

Only this could soothe the soul that was so often startled awake by countless nightmares.

’I want to hold her just like this.’

’To hold her forever and ever.’

’If only time could stop right at this moment.’

’At least, in this moment, the little rabbit is his alone.’

The Duke’s embrace was tight, just like always, but something about it felt different. She was a little bewildered, unsure of what to do.
