Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands

Yu Zhizhi was in the middle of treating the Little White Snake’s injuries. When she heard the Duke’s long speech, her hands stopped. "...Huh?"

’Ask His Majesty the King to grant us a marriage?’

The Duke’s serpentine eyes were dark and profound. "Are you that impatient?"

In its sleep, Little Amon seemed to feel a warm touch and gently rested its head against her.

Yu Zhizhi gently stroked it a few times and tucked the small blanket around it.

"I... I never thought about it..." she said softly.

Yu Zhizhi stood up. Not wanting to wake the Little White Snake, she tiptoed toward the exit.

As she passed the Duke, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Answer my question." The Duke’s figure completely overshadowed her, leaving her no escape. "Do you, or do you not, want him as your Beast Husband?"

The doorway of the small room opened into the sitting room. The only dim light seemed to be coming from very far away.

The Duke’s presence was suffocatingly close. His golden pupils sharpened into slits, as if he would reveal his snake form the very next second and trap her for eternity if her answer was unsatisfactory.

Yu Zhizhi’s body trembled slightly. She turned her face away and whispered, "No..."

’All she wanted was to complete her mission. She’d never thought about taking the young man from the Cat Clan as her Beast Husband.’

The pressure from the Duke was too intense; every cell in her body seemed to be screaming at her to run!

But with her hand in his grasp, she couldn’t go anywhere.

The Duke lifted his chin slightly. He forcibly suppressed the darkness in his heart and said, word by word, "Hug me."

Yu Zhizhi’s rabbit ears twitched. She turned to look at the man before her, hesitated for a moment, then slowly leaned in and gently hugged him.

’It was so quiet.’

’She could hear his powerful heartbeat.’

Yu Zhizhi buried her face in his chest, feeling his stiff body gradually relax.

The Duke loosened his grip on her wrist.

He pressed his face into her neck, his nose brushing against the small female’s rabbit ear. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her tighter and tighter.

"Good. As long as you didn’t."

’No matter what happened between them before, now that his little rabbit was back in the Valoran Empire, all her ties to the outside world had to be cut.’

The Duke’s serpentine eyes were bottomless. He stared at the single gloomy patch of light on the floor. "Starting tomorrow, you are not to see him without my permission."

Yu Zhizhi was stunned. She instinctively tried to look up but was held fast by the Duke, completely unable to move.

’...How could she do that?’

’She still had to give the cat cub to Zero.’

Yu Zhizhi said, "But didn’t we perform a ceremony?"

’So many people saw it. They can all be witnesses.’

The Duke replied, "It was just a formality. Weren’t you just trying to save him?"

"But I already made plans with him," Yu Zhizhi said.

’The young man from the Cat Clan was going to be in the Valoran Imperial City for a month.’

’Was she not supposed to see him for the entire month?’

The Duke’s tone was chilling. "You can try to see him... if he’s still alive."

’A blatant threat.’

Yu Zhizhi suddenly shivered and clutched the Duke’s robes. "B-But he’s an honored guest of Varolan!"

"...Hmph."

Hearing the concern in the small female’s voice, the Duke sneered.

Yu Zhizhi didn’t know how much of the Duke’s threat was real, but she didn’t dare take the risk. She could only say in a soft voice, "...I understand."

"If I need to do anything in the future, I’ll ask for your permission first."

’The Duke was watching her too closely in reality for her to meet him, but the Divine Hall Illusion Realm should be fine.’

’The Duke probably didn’t know about that place yet.’

’Once she found a chance to tell Zero, he would surely understand.’

"Stay with the Snake Clan tonight."

The Duke slowly released her. "Tomorrow evening, I’ll take you to meet someone."

"Oh..." Yu Zhizhi nodded lightly.

She heard a noise from outside.

It seemed Mumu and the others were back.

The Snake Clan Beastmen who had attended the banquet were returning to the Snake Clan’s residence together.

Mumu of the Snake Clan saw that the lights in the sitting room were on. Glancing in curiously as she passed by, she happened to see Yu Zhizhi and the Duke.

She quickly bowed in greeting.

When the other Snake Clan Beastmen saw them, they also bowed one after another.

’Zhi Zhi actually came back to the Snake Clan!’

’The Snake Clan girl’s eyes lit up. The Duke must have sent someone to invite her. It seems the Duke really can’t stop worrying about her!’

Mumu didn’t want to disturb her and the Duke, so after bowing, she made a gesture to the Rabbit Clan female, indicating that she was going back to her room to sleep.

The other Beastmen also gradually departed.

The Jinshe female walking at the back bowed to the Duke just like the others.

She said nothing and followed the rest of her clansmen.

Yu Zhizhi bid farewell to the Duke.

The Duke’s personal attendant, Billy, was standing at the door. When he saw her, he smiled. "Ms. Zhi Zhi, this way, please."

Her bedroom was the best room in the entire villa, specially prepared for her by the Duke.

Yu Zhizhi followed behind Billy, her mind on the conversation between the Duke and Zero when they met...

She couldn’t help but ask, "Does the Duke know them?"

Them?

Billy thought for a moment and figured that Ms. Zhi Zhi was referring to the Cat Clan from the Land of Prophecy.

He nodded. "The Land of Prophecy has deep ties with our Snake Clan. Although this branch of the Cat Clan later moved there from Cang Mountain, they are now a prominent family in the Land of Prophecy and have very close connections with the local Snake Clan."

"Mmm..." Yu Zhizhi mostly understood. "So, that coin is very important to the Duke?"

Billy responded as he led the way, "Yes, it relates to a prophecy once made by Lady Sophia. It is extremely important to the Snake Clan."

"Lady Sophia?" Yu Zhizhi felt like she had heard that name somewhere before.

Billy explained, "Lady Sophia was an outstanding Prophet, and twenty years ago, she was the only Prophet in the world."

"She was once the most revered female of the Snake Clan, as well as the female with the highest status on the entire planet."

"—She was the Duke’s mother."

"The Duke has been searching for this Divination Silver Coin for many years."

’So that’s how it was!’

Yu Zhizhi had never heard the Duke mention his mother or anything related to the prophecy.

’So, the Snake Clan and the Land of Prophecy have always been in contact.’

’A branch of the Snake Clan is also in the Land of Prophecy.’

Yu Zhizhi murmured, "In that case, Zero should be able to leave the Valoran Imperial City safely."

’The young man from the Cat Clan is the only Prophet now.’

’If the Duke wanted to see the results of the silver coin’s divination, he would need to borrow his Strength.’

She breathed a small sigh of relief.

Billy smiled slightly and opened the door to a room. "We’re here. You’ll be staying here tonight, Ms. Zhi Zhi."

"Thank you for walking me here."

"You’re welcome. It’s my duty."

Yu Zhizhi walked into the suite. The lights were bright, illuminating the luxurious and elegant furnishings. Farther in was the bathroom. Just as Billy left, Teacher Dai Li entered with two maids.

After taking off the restrictive, magnificent court gown, Yu Zhizhi soaked in the bath for a while.

A maid placed a clean set of clothes on the rack.

Teacher Dai Li said softly from the doorway, "We’ll be taking our leave now. If you need anything, just ring the bell on the headboard."

"Okay."

Yu Zhizhi was getting sleepy. After a long and busy day, followed by a hot bath, she yawned. Drowsily, she tried to get up and go to bed.

But she discovered that her feet seemed to be bound by something...
