Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands

Yu Zhizhi rested quietly in the Duke’s arms.

Just like countless times before, he held her. She said nothing, only burying her face in his chest.

The Duke held the small female in his arms tightly. He would never forget her scent.

"A few days before the cultural ceremony begins, move into the Royal Palace with me."

’Move into the Royal Palace?’

Yu Zhizhi tilted her head back slightly. "Mhm~"

This time, besides the ceremony, the most important event was the Level test for the S-Class females. Those who could be tested at the Royal Palace were the noblest of the nobility.

The little female agreed so cheerfully. The Duke lowered his gaze to look at her.

He had been waiting for her to come to him these past few days.

But she had been listless.

’If I wait for my little rabbit to come to me, I’ll be waiting until the end of time.’

He was still bothered about that cat. Every time he thought of speaking to her, a bitter pang of jealousy and resentment would rise in his heart.

’I should punish her.’

But he was afraid the little female would disappear without a trace again.

"Isn’t it good here with me?" The Duke’s eyes darkened slightly. His lips brushed against the little female’s rabbit ear, his voice hoarse. "We can be with Little Amon every day, and the other Snake Pups... they miss you very much too."

"You can do whatever you want. The Snake Clan will satisfy your every need."

"Stay."

The Duke kissed her ear, feeling her body tremble slightly. He slowly lifted her chin and gazed deeply at her.

"Stay by my side."

Yu Zhizhi stared at him blankly. Her own face was reflected in the Duke’s golden, slitted pupils. Everything around them fell silent as the spring night’s breeze drifted through the window, ruffling the strands of hair at his cheek.

The Duke had never spoken to her with such seriousness before.

His eyes held an emotion she couldn’t quite see or put a name to.

A ripple spread through Yu Zhizhi’s heart.

’Stay at the Duke Mansion...?’

Here, she lived a leisurely life every day. She could see Little Amon whenever she wanted and watch his condition slowly improve.

She actually... really liked it here.

Except for—

Sometimes, it was very difficult to complete the main quests.

Thinking about the new quests to come, Yu Zhizhi looked away, no longer meeting the Duke’s eyes.

Seeing the little female avert her gaze, the Duke’s eyes gradually grew darker.

She was hesitating. She was running away.

’What’s the reason she doesn’t want to stay here?’

’The Spider from Paradise?’

’The Mermaid from the Deep Sea?’

’Or that stray cat whose identity he still hadn’t figured out?’

’Who is my little rabbit really thinking about?’

’Who does she really want to go and find?’

Yu Zhizhi hugged the Duke, mumbling clingily, "I’m so sleepy, I want to go to sleep..."

This time, the Duke didn’t say anything more. He laid his little rabbit down on the bed.

Just as they had agreed, a few days before the cultural ceremony began, Yu Zhizhi moved into the Royal Palace with the Duke.

One after another, S-Class females who had rushed here from other regions of Valoran also moved in.

Teacher Dai Li was helping to adjust the hem of her dress when a figure shot through the doorway. The Snake Clan girl, Mumu, was back. She had been out having fun for a long time, and upon seeing the Rabbit Clan female, she pounced on her excitedly.

"Zhi Zhi! Long time no see!"

She had been a guest at the Duke Mansion before, traveling around and seeing the sights for a while, and she had also taken the opportunity to visit her hometown.

This time, she had rushed back specifically for the Level test.

It couldn’t be helped; this was extremely important for every S-Class female in the Empire.

Yu Zhizhi was very happy to see her old friend. Today, Mumu was wearing a brilliant golden gown that made her look like a little sun.

Teacher Dai Li smiled as well. "Young ladies, please hurry and get ready. The delegations from the Moon Rising Empire, Cang Mountain, and the Deep Sea’s Cat Clan will be arriving soon. We can’t let the other empires laugh at us."

Mumu stuck out her tongue, let go, and pulled her little rabbit down into a chair.

"I heard you just got back from the Deep Sea? How was it? Was it fun there?" the Snake Clan girl asked, looking at her with an expectant expression.

Yu Zhizhi nodded lightly. "It was quite nice. The breeze was refreshing, and the sea was very blue. Their Imperial City is unique, and the people are warm."

"I’m so jealous, I want to go too! But it’s very dangerous. Our Valoran Empire isn’t on good terms with them, so I wouldn’t dare set foot in the Deep Sea Domain."

Mumu stroked the Red Ruby Bracelet on her wrist, then suddenly thought of something else. "I’m planning to visit Moonrise’s Divine City next month. Do you want to go?"

’The Divine City...’

Yu Zhizhi’s expression faltered for a moment.

She had many memories there.

However, she didn’t dare get too close to any coastal areas now. She always felt like a Big Shark might pop out from undersea at any moment.

As Teacher Dai Li combed Yu Zhizhi’s hair, she spoke slowly, "Ms. Zhi Zhi just returned. It would be best for her to stay for a while longer."

"Teacher Dai Li, you’re so biased! Why are you only asking Zhi Zhi to stay and not me?"

The Snake Clan girl laughed.

Outside the door, another Snake Clan female had arrived.

She wore a light-colored, courtly noble’s gown and clutched a book to her chest, glancing somewhat apprehensively at the two who were chatting so enthusiastically inside the room.

Teacher Dai Li was the first to notice her. "Miss Yu Xiang."

Mumu immediately fell silent.

She looked over at once, sizing up this female from the Jinshe Clan from head to toe. On her way back, she had kept hearing rumors that a beautiful Jinshe female would very likely become the wife of the Valoran Empire’s First Duke.

Everyone used to think it would be the Little Princess.

But the Little Princess had been married to the Third Prince of the Moon Rising Empire.

By now, she was already in the Moonrise Royal Capital.

"Teacher Dai Li, Ms. Zhi Zhi, Miss Mu Mu." Yu Xiang clutched her book and gave a slight curtsy.

Mumu’s attitude was lukewarm as she stood and returned the curtsy.

Yu Zhizhi gave her a small smile.

Teacher Dai Li said warmly, "Miss Yu Xiang, please have a seat. We’ll be ready soon."

After she arrived, Mumu didn’t seem to want to talk much anymore.

’After all, her status is different now. What if something I say gets back to the Duke?’

Mumu fiddled with her fingers, bored.

Yu Xiang sat down in a chair behind them and said softly, "Miss Mu Mu, shall we go together for the Level test?"

Mumu gave her a polite smile. "Of course."

The S-Class females of the Snake Clan always went together.

It seemed that, for now, they were the only two from the Snake Clan qualified to enter the Royal Palace.

At that moment, Mumu suddenly thought of Tutu. She looked over and saw Teacher Dai Li instructing Zhi Zhi about something.

’According to the rules, Zhi Zhi doesn’t belong to the Snake Clan.’

’This Level test is quite important. After all, the whole Empire, and even the entire planet, will be watching.’

’She should be returning to the Rabbit Clan, right...?’

’But the people from the Rabbit Clan are taking forever to come get her. Is it just like the rumors say, that they don’t value her at all?’

’Zhi Zhi won’t be all alone for this test and cultural exchange, will she?’

Just then, a lazy voice drifted in from the doorway.

"Are you ready, Ms. Zhi Zhi?"
