Chapter 26 "No matter how you look at it, they seem like a match made in heaven!"
[Ahhh, is she the little female of the Rabbit Tribe who has just advanced to S-rank? So cute, so cute, so cute]
[Her skin is so good and her eyes are so bright~]
[I declare! From today on, I will be the knight of this little female rabbit! ! ]
【Take me one! 】
[Wow, I envy the orcs on the platform. I can get close to her (throwing tears and rolling on the ground) (biting the handkerchief) (running and wailing)]
This time, those who are qualified to go up to the platform are all people at the level of the rulers of various races, or shining new stars.
The wolf tribe's ancestor worship ceremony is a tradition of the Valoran Empire and is of great significance.
Lisa followed Yu Zhizhi dutifully.
She introduced quietly: "The one in front is Miss Rouze from the Sand Cat Clan. Like Miss Zhizhi, she is also an S-rank female."
"The other young man in the black suit is the pride of the Ibe family, Noel."
When Yu Zhizhi came, all the orcs' attention was focused on her.
The little female had a pure smile on her face, which made them feel excited.
Rouze from the sand cat clan was wearing a white dress, and her slender legs were particularly attractive under the split skirt.
She took the initiative to come over: "Hello, Miss Rabbit."
"Hello." Yu Zhizhi responded softly.
Sand Cat Rouze: "I heard that you don't have a good relationship with that leopard~"
"Well…"
Is the leopard she was talking about Nana from the black panther clan?
The female sand cat blinked: "Have you ever heard of an old saying - the enemy of my enemy is my friend?"
Facing Miss Shamao's advances, Yu Zhizhi kept smiling.
The little golden ball flew over.
The female sand cat waved at it naturally.
Yu Zhizhi walked forward, and everyone was going to enter the tower. The black rabbit boy standing in the corridor was surrounded by noble orcs.
He was wearing a black suit, and looked like he hadn't woken up yet, with a hint of sleepiness in the corners of his eyes. The black rabbit ears on his head were slightly drooping, and he leaned against the railing, responding to them intermittently.
The boy caught a glimpse of a pretty figure from the corner of his eye and his gaze paused slightly.
—Besides him, the most popular person on the field now is Miss White Rabbit.
She walked slowly towards this side, surrounded by stars.
The little female perfectly inherited the delicate and beautiful genes of the rabbit clan. Her skin was glowing white in the clouds, her eyes were as clear as streams, and the light orange aristocratic fluffy long skirt she wore made her look like the most exquisite doll in the window. Her cherry lips were slightly parted, and every breath she took was captivating.
You don't have to think about what the barrage will look like.
The black rabbit boy yawned and looked away, too lazy to pay attention.
In his opinion, a female with only a body but no soul is no different from an artificial female.
Yu Zhizhi saw him from a distance.
She slowly came to him.
When the people around saw her coming, they consciously dispersed to both sides.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the little female rabbit walked straight up to the young man from the same tribe.
She held up her skirt and greeted him: "Hello, Noel."
"Hello." Noel wiped away the sleepy tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers. He leaned against the railing, and the wind blew through the strands of hair on his forehead.
Noel, who has awakened super healing powers since birth, has been admired by the entire empire since he was a child.
Many females are attracted to him because of his special healing powers.
At the side, the rabbit tribe manager who came with Noel immediately showed a friendly smile.
"Miss Zhizhi, I am the housekeeper of the Ibe family. I am here on behalf of the head of the family. I want to invite you back to your hometown. We in Green Field City welcome you very much."
Green Field City is the most suitable place for the rabbits to survive, and almost all the rabbits are in that town.
"Maybe, it will take some time..." Yu Zhizhi lacked confidence as soon as she opened her mouth.
Her most urgent task is to send the eagle eggs back to the Cangshan area.
I hope the third task doesn't conflict with what she wants to do.
As for Green City, she would like to go back and take a look if she has the chance in the future.
As a rabbit, she can't always live in the wolf's den.
The steward of the Ibe tribe was very sensible. He would try his best to invite them, but would not force them, especially when the little golden ball followed them like a shadow and the whole planet could see them.
"Miss Zhizhi, please come in—" the butler made an inviting gesture.
Yu Zhizhi walked towards the sacrificial pagoda.
When passing by the black rabbit boy, he suddenly grabbed his wrist.
She was stunned.
Noel lowered his head, looking at the little female's slender wrist. He held it in his hand. It was so white and delicate that the blue veins on the back of her hand were very light and almost invisible.
"Huh?" A surprised smile appeared on the boy's face.
"What, what happened..." Yu Zhizhi was a little nervous.
The black rabbit boy just stared at her with a half-smile. To outsiders, the two of them staring at each other was a very ambiguous scene.
The female on the side showed a jealous look—
Noel of the Ibe family is a genius in the healing department. His extraordinary healing ability is greatly needed by both the military and the powerful.
There was a long queue of orcs who came to Green City for treatment, and it would take more than half a year before they could see him in person.
In addition, his own mental strength is also extremely strong.
He was awarded a war medal at a very young age.
And at this moment.
There are so many comments in the live broadcast room that they overlap.
[Ahhhhh, let go! Don't touch her! ]
[Wow—Is this the healing genius? He is so blatant when courting.]
[Jealousy makes me twisted! I want to drink a hundred bottles of nutrient solution!]
[Am I the only one who thinks they are a good match...]
The rabbit tribe's genius male and S-level female, no matter how you look at it, seem like a match made in heaven.
Castle, minus 13th floor.
Tang Luoke, sitting on the mutant's corpse, looked at the live broadcast projected on the wall with an expressionless face.
In the picture, the rabbit boy leaned forward slightly, with his thin lips pressed between the snow-white ears of the little female rabbit.
No one knows what he said.
After he finished speaking, a layer of blush appeared on the little female's snow-white cheeks.
The live broadcast room was filled with comments very quickly, and many orcs were taking screenshots crazily.
[Ahhh! Help! She's so cute! I really want to raise one...]
[I'm dying! My blood tank is empty! ]
[Ms. Zhizhi, please choose me to be your beast husband! I am gentle and considerate, can help you take care of the house, and will never be jealous of your other beast husbands! ]
[What on earth did they say? I really want to hear it! ! ! ]
No one knows what Noel said.
Just see it.
After saying this, the young man had a lazy smile on his sleepy face. He tilted his head and stared at the little female rabbit with interest.
Yu Zhizhi felt her cheeks getting hot.
Her secret...
They were all discovered by the other party.
The rabbit boy was a great healer, he grabbed her wrist tightly, and with a slight touch of his fingertips, he discovered that her body had just given birth.
"What... do you want me to do?" Yu Zhizhi looked at him uneasily.
The boy smiled and said, "Come find me after the ceremony."
(End of this chapter) Although there is always a hint of laziness on the face of the rabbit boy, as if he has been up all night, it still cannot hide his handsome face.
There was a hint of an evil smile hidden in the drooping corners of his eyes.
It's like finding a new toy.
Is it torn to pieces, or can't let it go...
You won't know until you play it.
—It seems like I met a difficult guy.
Yu Zhizhi had no doubt that if he refused, he would directly announce that she had just laid an egg.
She had to protect the newborn cub!
Yeah!
Having made up her mind, Yu Zhizhi said, "Okay, I'll go."
The boy leaned against the railing and smiled lazily: "I hope Miss Zhizhi won't make me wait too long."
Yu Zhizhi pursed her lips. She seemed a little angry, but her voice was still soft: "...I know!"
Under the guidance of the housekeeper and followed by the live broadcast golden ball, Yu Zhizhi stepped into the only black tower in the clouds.
Many dignitaries in the imperial city have already taken their seats.
Yu Zhizhi discovered that all the orcs that came in were half-beasts.
Including her—
As soon as she stepped into the Black Tower, a faint white light appeared on her body. When she reacted, she saw an anthropomorphic rabbit under her gorgeous and elegant aristocratic fluffy long skirt. Her snow-white arms also became furry.
Although it still walks upright like humans, from the appearance, it is just a rabbit.
The black rabbit Noel, who was following behind her, also changed from a human to a half-beast form.
As soon as he came in, he smelled the strong pheromones on the female rabbit...
As a member of the same race, he was more sensitive to the scent of female rabbits than other races. Perhaps it was deep in his genes, filled with the desire for mating and reproduction.
"Let's go."
Seeing that the little female didn't move for a long time, he urged her in a listless voice.
Yu Zhizhi lifted her skirt and walked slowly down the aisle.
Inside the black tower, the light was dim.
She saw two animal shadows standing at the end.
As I got closer, my back felt numb and even my legs started to tremble.
The two brothers from the K family, who were greeting every guest, smiled meaningfully when they saw the snow-white rabbit shadow.
—They are the head of the K family, [Donald], and his twin brother [Donnell].
The two white wolves were wearing traditional sacrificial clothing, with family marks on their foreheads. They had auspicious knots hanging on their temples, staring at the petite and soft female rabbit in front of them, with a smile on their lips.
"Miss Zhizhi, nice to meet you again." The first to speak was Donald on the right.
Yu Zhizhi had been alone with him in the reception room.
At the time, he was in the form of a human youth, and she was already nervous.
Now facing two half-beast "wolves"...
The fear of carnivores deep in her genes spread uncontrollably, and Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but shiver.
"Hello... Hello..."
Behind her, the black rabbit boy pushed her maliciously.
This little female, I don't know what she's shaking for. So help her and go over there quickly.
Yu Zhizhi staggered and ran directly into Donald's arms.
The strong smell of wolf rushed towards her, almost drowning her...
She was suffocated for a moment!
Donal gently supported her shoulders and turned into a half-animal body. The little rabbit felt soft and furry.
She was so small, especially after she turned half-beast. The sizes of the males were affected by the tribe. In front of this little white rabbit, the wolf looked particularly tall and ferocious. Although he kept smiling, he still looked very ferocious.
Donald lowered his head and sniffed her rabbit ears with his wolf nose.
"Welcome to the altar of the wolf tribe. My noble princess, please take a seat."
Yu Zhizhi clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest.
When the beast-wolf approached, his entire body was completely unable to move.
In the animal world, rabbits always end up on the wolf's table.
With the restraint of the human form, the beast's aura would be much weaker. It would not be like it is now, where the rabbit body would be frightened and nailed to the spot just by seeing the approaching wolf shadow.
The barrage was filled with indignation—
[Hey! White wolf of the K family, stay away! You scared our little female! ]
[Don't you know that rabbits are naturally afraid of large carnivores? ]
[It is the responsibility of all animals to protect the Holy Female! 】
[The little rabbit is only S-level, okay? How come she is a saint? 】
[She will advance in the future! ! ]
All the males on the planet are very optimistic about this female, who is classified as S-level before her bidirectional ability is awakened. In time, she will awaken her bidirectional ability and will definitely advance to a holy female!
Sensing the fear of the little female, Donald loosened his hand and stepped back.
Only after they had some distance did Yu Zhizhi dare to breathe.
This is...
Was it the suppressed instinct of animal genes?
When she faced the wolf, her blood froze and her body became as stiff as stone.
Yu Zhizhi walked forward slowly...
The little female gritted her teeth and walked between the two wolves.
Negative 13th floor.
Tang Luoke, who had been paying attention to the ceremony, felt a wave of numbness and madness in his heart when he saw her become soft.
I wanted to pin her down and bite her neck directly...
Eat her bite by bite.
…
Yu Zhizhi looked at the round table on the field, which had about twenty seats.
From her perspective, there are deer, rhinos, polar bears, crocodiles, lions, dolphins, snow leopards, and so on.
All the guests were in half-animal form, wearing human clothes and walking like humans.
She found her place.
Sit down gently.
The door of the Black Tower closed.
The barrage gradually became quiet.
Next, it is the wolf tribe's most important and oldest ancestor worship ceremony.
The head of the K family, Donald K, walked to the front of the round table.
He spoke the most ancient animal language.
Yu Zhizhi, who traveled through time, didn't understand a single word.
He saw that everyone was excited. After his speech, everyone applauded, and Yu Zhizhi also clapped.
Donald's wolf eyes fell on the little female.
The expression on her face was worth studying.
—You are not a good kid at all. You don't listen carefully and pretend to understand even though you don't.
It seems necessary to give her a private lesson in person.
When the beast wolf was still standing in front of the round table, he noticed a light golden rune appearing in the sky.
That radiance becomes brighter and brighter.
All the beasts looked up.
The shapes and stripes are very strange and rarely appear in the Imperial City.
The big screen in the live broadcast room also projected the rune completely, and gradually, the formation brought about by it began to take shape.
"This is..." Donald's wolf eyes were deep.
At the side, Butler Qiao in lizard form exclaimed: "Oh no! It's the Sun Formation! The platform is going to fall!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire platform was split into two.
A blade of light descended from the center of the round table.
All the orcs on the periphery fell uncontrollably, including Yu Zhizhi! —
[It's over! I'm going to die!]
[This is 10,000 meters in the sky! —]
[Who can save this little female! ]
Thanks for voting for Baby Meng~See you tomorrow!
Chapter 28 "Don't cry."
The high platform in the air was split in half by the light blade brought by the sun formation!
Donald K reacted quickly and snapped his fingers.
A magic book wrapped in lightning fell from the sky.
The papers flipped open with a rustle—
Fixed on one of the pages, dark purple runes flew out of the book, and a huge projection enveloped the entire altar.
The high platform that was shaking in the wind gradually stabilized.
And the part that has fallen—
Donal raised his right hand and a stream of water flew out from his sleeve. The moment it rushed out of the tower, it was shattered by the light blade in the sun formation!
There was a flash of nervousness in his red eyes: "Zhizhi fell down."
The sun array shines brightly, gathering above the tower. All exposed objects will be attacked by the light blades.
Donnell's water system is of no use.
He was a little anxious.
"When Locke comes out, if he is greeted by the corpse of a young female, I'm afraid—"
"Then let him make a scene." Donald's tone was calm and almost cold:
"This is a restricted-level formation that has been lost in the empire for a long time. Today is destined to be a turbulent day. Whether she lives or dies depends on her luck."
Below the platform, the watching orcs all raised their heads.
The beasts didn't know what was happening. They only saw a huge formation gathering at the edge of the sky. The dark golden light was shining brightly, as if it came from the distant heaven.
The platform collapsed, and buildings and countless animal shadows fell together.
When the altar's spell was unleashed, the half-beast form returned to human form. The little golden ball responsible for the live broadcast did not dare to go under the formation and could only hide behind a pillar to absorb all the images.
The barrage was full of screams.
Lisa, who had not yet entered the tower, looked at the collapsed area in astonishment, not knowing what had happened.
Yu Zhizhi's figure fell rapidly from the sky!
Miss Black Panther, who was not eligible to participate in this event, sat on a chair and looked at the big screen in front of her.
The little golden ball knows the scene that all orcs want to see the most.
Its perspective was firmly locked on Yu Zhizhi, never shifting for a moment.
Woohoo!
Some soft-hearted orcs covered their eyes with their hands, unable to bear to watch the little female rabbit smashed into a pulp and covered in blood!
Black Panther Nana smiled slightly, she felt that she needed to celebrate tonight.
Yu Zhizhi was thrown out of the high tower and felt the whistling wind.
This was 10,000 meters in the sky, she passed through the clouds and fell straight to the ground!
The terrifying thing about the solar formation was the light blade attack.
She heard wailing in her ears.
Although the beast shadows that fell with her were forced to transform into beasts in order to gain more strength to dodge, they were mercilessly pursued by the light blade because of their [beast transformation]!
On the contrary, Yu Zhizhi, who had not awakened her two-way ability, was no different from air in the eyes of the Sun Formation.
Otherwise, a ray of light would be enough to cut her in half!
The air was in chaos.
Many animal shadows struggled desperately, but were tragically attacked by a series of light blades.
Some were lucky enough to activate their abilities and attach themselves to any outer layer of a building, thus avoiding the Grim Reaper's scythe.
—She is dead!
All the orcs present felt that the little female would not be able to escape this disaster!
In terms of strength, females are much weaker than males. The awakened spiritual power of females is generally only 10-50, while the starting point of males is 1000, not to mention the astonishing 18,000 of the four wolf cubs before!
There is also a wolf cub following his father, with an initial spiritual power of 30,000!
Unfortunately, this female rabbit who gave birth to them will die today. The death of an S-level female is a pain for the entire Beast World...
Yu Zhizhi had no way to slow down while falling.
She closed her eyes and said to herself, "I hope I won't feel any pain..."
If she could go home after death, she would take one last breath. She also wanted to take one more look at the clouds outside the hospital bed and her mother's face.
—Thinking of this, Yu Zhizhi felt a lump in her nose.
suddenly!
A black shadow appeared in the air, with huge, plump black wings, coming from far away and falling into the eyes of every orc!
Dracula, who had rushed all the way here, turned into a half-beast!
The eagle's vision penetrated the light and fell directly on Yu Zhizhi's body. He passed through like a gust of wind and steadily caught her petite body.
Feeling a warm embrace, Yu Zhizhi opened her eyes and saw a familiar face.
"Dracula..." she murmured, grabbing the clothes on his chest.
In the midst of the ruins, the eagle's wings were huge and powerful, like the wings of a devil, almost covering half of the sun!
He was flying in the air, surrounded by thick black fog.
To the orcs, this scene was extremely thrilling!
The barrage in the live broadcast room exploded!
[Eagle orcs?! Am I dazzled? ? ]
[The Cangshan Empire has been gone for so long, and their descendants have come to the imperial city of Valoran—]
[I feel this male eagle is so handsome...]
[Is he saving Miss Zhizhi? ]
[It's useless! The light blade of the solar formation will cut off their bodies! It seems that he will have to die with the little female in his arms—]
Dracula in half-beast form was not unfamiliar to Yu Zhizhi.
She had seen him like this in church.
Yu Zhizhi will always remember the night when he spread his wings, just like the night before him, surrounded by black fog.
Precisely because they were half-beasts, the solar formation could accurately lock onto their locations.
"Hold on tight." Dracula's voice was steady and powerful.
His figure soaring in the air, when faced with the attack of the light blade, suddenly folded his wings and protected the girl firmly to his chest.
Countless light blades smashed into his wings. In his half-beast form, his figure was several times taller than usual. His plump wings were cut off by the light blades, and black feathers fell from the sky. For a moment, it looked like a heavy black snow was falling in his territory.
Yu Zhizhi was held tightly in his arms.
She felt streaks of blood flowing down from above her head, almost blurring her vision.
Yu Zhizhi clutched the man's collar tightly, bit her lips, tears welling up in her eyes.
She was protected by him in the three inches of space in front of her, and was not attacked by any light blades.
And Dracula himself -
Already covered with bruises.
This scene shocked all the orcs.
Whether at the scene or in the live broadcast room, everyone watched this male eagle desperately protecting the little female in his arms. With such a powerful solar formation, his wings and blood fell from the sky and dripped onto the faces of the beasts below...
She was shocked by his strength that allowed him to withstand the attack of the Sun Formation, and she was also moved by his infatuation in protecting the female in his arms from beginning to end.
Dracula protected Yu Zhizhi and flew towards the distant jungle.
After flying out of the range of the solar formation, he finally got a chance to catch his breath.
Because of the fear of the sun formation, the little golden ball dared not fly out, and could only watch their backs getting farther and farther away...
【it's over?】
[Uwaaaaa! No matter what, the little female survived! ! Hooray! !]
[The Sun Formation is a restricted formation. Perhaps only the Eagle Clan can move freely in the air. As expected...]
[—As expected of the former sky overlord! ]
Dracula flew into the deep mountains and jungles behind his territory, found a safe place, and put the little female in his arms down.
He lowered his head and saw the little female's red eyes, and his heart suddenly tightened.
"Don't cry." Dracula's voice was a little hoarse, and he caught the tears falling from the corners of her eyes with his fingers Chapter 29 "I swear by the Eagle God of Cangshan Mountain—"
The man's tall and slender figure blocked out all the sunlight, and his black wings were covered with scars, with almost no intact area to be found.
In his half-beast form, his eyes were sharper, yet he was infinitely gentle as he gazed at Yu Zhizhi.
Yu Zhizhi knew that he was the one who saved her, her nose felt sore and tears started falling.
"Dracula..." She sobbed softly.
"Don't cry, I'm not hurt."
"Woo woo—"
Yu Zhizhi couldn't seem to stop crying: "I thought you were gone..."
"I'm sorry." Dracula wiped her tears.
The more he wiped away her tears, the more he cried. He leaned over and gently embraced the girl in his arms.
Dracula once thought that everything was a scam.
They are all lies told by little females.
But he regretted it.
I should trust her more—
"Follow this road and keep going forward. You will see a stream. There is a small wooden house next to it. It is a mountain supply station. You wait there and the escort rescue team will find you soon."
Yu Zhizhi looked back in a daze.
In the deep jungle, a path winds its way.
"Aren't we going together?" She clutched the man's clothes and tried to raise her head. Dracula in half-beast form was too tall and her neck was aching.
"No." He stared at the small female that was only as tall as his abdomen, and gently stroked her soft hair. "The Iron Cavalry of Valoran has surrounded this mountain. It will be dangerous for you to stay with me."
"But, eagle eggs—"
"Don't worry, our children are in the safest place."
Hearing this, Yu Zhizhi felt a little relieved.
Dracula really followed the scent and came here.
Then, the eagle eggs have most likely been taken out of the K family's territory.
But-
When Yu Zhizhi thought of Dracula's situation, her heart felt inexplicably gripped.
"They're coming to get you..." she murmured.
Dracula smiled slightly: "I'm not that easy to catch."
Yu Zhizhi's eyes were red.
The Cangshan Empire has a blood feud with the other three empires. If Dracula's identity as a descendant of the eagle clan is exposed and he is caught, he will surely die.
But he still came to save himself...
In full view of the public, he spread his wings, which symbolized his status.
"Take me with you, and let's go together..." Yu Zhizhi's voice choked with sobs.
Dracula had been seriously injured and she was very worried.
The little female's tears were shed for him, and at this moment, Dracula no longer expected anything.
He quietly wiped the little rabbit's tears.
He retracted his sharp nails for fear of hurting her.
"Take me away..." Yu Zhizhi leaned on his chest, crying.
"It will be hard for me to fight with all my heart if I take you with me. Sorry, I can't take you away." Dracula said softly.
Yu Zhizhi's eyelashes were stuck together. She raised her head, rested her chin on his abdomen, and looked at the huge half-beast eagle. Her mouth drooped and tears flowed like a faucet, unable to stop.
"Go to that wooden house and go back with the guards." Dracula stroked her left cheek with his big hand, "—wait for my good news."
He couldn't take her away.
The Imperial cavalry has surrounded the place, and if she follows him, she will die.
This time when he came to the imperial capital, he killed everyone he wanted to kill and did everything he needed to do. He should have left the city directly and flew back to Cangshan, but now he has no regrets.
I was the one who doubted her, and I was the one who wanted to save her.
This has nothing to do with others.
Dracula is willing to bear all the consequences.
He is not afraid of death, he just feels very sorry, very sorry...
I can't take her home.
Yu Zhizhi knew that if he took her with him, he would also have to divide his attention to protect her.
"...I'll listen to you. I'll go to the cabin and wait for the guard team to rescue me." She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers.
Now is not the time to cry.
Every second Dracula stayed was a second more dangerous.
The man in front of her half-knelt down, his eyes level with hers: "Help me put on the mask again."
Yu Zhizhi took the half-finished golden mask. After he squatted down, she could put it on him easily, smoothing it out inch by inch.
"If I can succeed in breaking through this time, I will come back to pick you up one day." Dracula said solemnly, "I swear by the Eagle God of Cangshan Mountain that I will never let you down in this life."
From the moment he saw the eagle eggs, Yu Zhizhi became, in his heart, the only wife of his life.
Will not waver again.
Looking at the little female's rippling eyes and her red nose and cheeks from crying, his heart turned into a pool of spring water. He gently folded his black wings and hugged and kissed her in the mountains covered with mottled shadows.
—This is a farewell kiss.
Unlike the past, which were full of aggression, this time it is particularly delicate and tender.
"Let's go." He released his wings and stood up, staring at the little female's face with a smile.
Yu Zhizhi nodded slightly.
She took two steps back. The hem of her light orange noble dress was slightly torn. She bowed to the other party according to the etiquette of the Beast World.
Dracula smiled softly, crossed one hand over his chest, and bowed to return the greeting.
He stared at the little female's slender figure as she walked away.
Dracula took out the white lace headband that he had hidden in his chest. The soft headband lay in the palm of his broad hand.
Flames were burning all over the sky.
He knew that the Imperial cavalry was approaching.
Dracula wrapped the soft white hairband around his left wrist layer by layer.
There is also the scent of a young female on it.
He lowered his head, bit the edge of the hairband with one hand, and used both hands to tie it tightly around his wrists.
As long as he is alive, the little female's lace headband is his blessing.
When he died, this was his favorite burial object.
From the moment Dracula chose to go back to find Yu Zhizhi, he was ready to face death.
He knew since he was three years old that he was born to restore his country.
Everything he did was to help the Cangshan Empire return to its peak and become the sky overlord of the Beast World Planet again.
This time, Dracula didn't want to think about the responsibility on his shoulders and the glory covered by the snow-capped mountains.
As the sound of the imperial cavalry's hooves shook the dark forest behind him, he gently kissed the hairband on his wrist.
"I would trade my life for my wife..."
His last bit of tenderness was buried in the mountains and hidden in the wind.
When the huge black wings behind him spread out, the eyes under his mask became extremely cold and murderous. The vast cavalry of the empire saw the half-beast eagle flying high in the sky, with his cloak fluttering, making him look like the black-winged demon king in ancient legends.
…
Yu Zhizhi was walking on a winding path in the mountains. Her shoes were not suitable for climbing, so she took them off and threw them into the grass.
She held up her skirt and walked slowly barefoot.
There was only one thought in my mind -
Find the cabin and wait for the good news of Dracula's escape!
But this road is much farther than she imagined. In the mountains on the other side, orcs discovered the girl's whereabouts.
Putting down the telescope, the orc servant beside the luxurious carriage bent down and said, "Your Excellency the Duke, it is Miss Zhizhi from the Rabbit Tribe."
"Oh?" A man's deep voice came from the carriage.
A slender pipe carved with a blue lotus lifted the curtain of the carriage.
"Go, ask her to come over."
The monthly tickets and recommendation votes cast by the Crab Crab babies~See you tomorrow!
. Yu Zhizhi met a servant of a noble in this forest.
He explained his purpose: "The master of the house invites you."
The sounds of fighting continued in the forest, and a raging fire started in the distance. Yu Zhizhi looked back at the deep red, her expression a little dazed.
The servant advised: "Miss Zhizhi, it is getting dark. It will be dangerous for you to be alone in the forest. Where are you going?"
"Supply station."
"That's still quite a long way to go."
"…"
"How about meeting our patriarch first? You should have seen him during the last wolf cub hatching ceremony."
When it comes to the [shell-breaking ceremony], Yu Zhizhi feels a little more confident.
—So he was a former distinguished guest of the K family?
She looked at the sky getting darker and darker, and nodded gently: "Please lead the way."
The Duke's attendant led the way with a smile.
After walking through a rugged path, we arrived at a more relaxed mountain path.
There was a carriage parked there.
The carriage looked magnificent, with delicate patterns carved on it. The front of the carriage was inlaid with sparkling gems, and the darker the sky, the brighter the light.
"Master." The attendant stood beside the car and whispered, "She is here."
"Good evening, Miss Zhizhi." The man's voice was low and pure, with a lazy smile, "In the mountains and forests at night, there are often unintelligent beasts. Why don't you get in the carriage and I'll take you back."
"Who are you…"
The attendant at the side quickly said: "Our master is the most distinguished duke of the Valoran Empire - Lord Bolan."
The setting sun gradually disappeared, and the fire in the distance could not illuminate the road at my feet.
Yu Zhizhi felt a little uneasy.
During the day, she traveled through the mountains and forests and felt that the trees here were unusually tall, many of them were dozens of meters tall.
Looking at it again at night, it was so densely packed and extremely scary.
Occasionally, you can hear the roar of unknown beasts...
"Are you really the Duke?" Yu Zhizhi asked softly.
The female's voice is soft, clear and clean, with a hint of nervousness, which makes people feel itchy.
Yu Zhizhi saw a pipe lifting the curtain of the carriage.
Bolan glanced at the girl standing outside the carriage. The hem of her light orange fluffy dress was torn by a branch. She was barefoot, and her fair and tender face was covered with dust. She looked quite disheveled, like a little princess who had run away from a picture book.
"Let her see it." The man slowly lowered the curtain.
The servant replied, "Yes."
He took out a badge from his arms, held it in both hands, and handed it to the female rabbit.
Yu Zhizhi took it.
She had seen emblems of different families in the library. The one in her hand, with its golden emblem engraved with retro and noble patterns, indeed symbolized the Duke of the Empire.
I vaguely remember that when this [Duke of Platinum] came to attend the shell-breaking ceremony, Donald specially entertained him.
There were so many guests at that time that Yu Zhizhi couldn't remember what he looked like for a moment.
"Do you believe it?" The man's voice was low and gentle.
"I have seen the Duke."
"You're welcome, Miss Zhizhi. It's so late, get in the car, I'll take you home."
"Thanks…"
Yu Zhizhi stepped on a low stool and got on the carriage.
The doors of the carriage were densely covered with golden embroidery, and the spacious interior was luxuriously decorated with silk curtains and a wealth of gold and jade.
The cushion in front looked like a bed.
There was a slender figure leaning lazily, he was wearing a dark blue retro robe and his face could not be seen clearly.
After coming in, Yu Zhizhi felt a little reserved.
She sat at the outermost edge.
Place your hands on your knees, sit upright, lower your eyes and observe your heart.
Seeing the girl's soft figure, a smile appeared on the man's lips.
—This little female is a little wary, but not much.
Although I have found out his identity, I have never thought about the relationship between the goodness and evil of human nature and identity
.
There was a sound of a lighter inside the carriage.
Yu Zhizhi, who was concentrating and daydreaming, smelled a faint scent of tobacco.
This kind of tobacco was much lighter than what she smelled in the real world, and even had a hint of the astringent scent of lotus seeds.
I don't know why, but when I smelled this smell, I couldn't help but think of Dracula.
The man, sitting on the cushion and leaning back lazily, caught a glimpse of the little female with drooping rabbit ears and red eyes, looking so pitiful.
But he is not a good person.
Seeing the little female's appearance, the man raised a smile.
—Don't be so quick to cry now.
It wasn't time for her to actually cry yet.
Yu Zhizhi leaned against the carriage and gradually felt sleepy. She didn't want to sleep at first, thinking that she would return to the territory of the K family, which was at least a familiar place for her.
But later...
My consciousness gradually blurred, and my head became heavier and heavier...
When she woke up, she found herself lying on the bed. She moved her body a little, and her hands were tied behind her back and her eyes were covered, so she couldn't see where she was.
"Is anyone there..." Yu Zhizhi called out softly.
She hadn't had any water for a long time, so her throat became dry and her voice became hoarse.
What's going on?
She had clearly fallen asleep in the Duke's carriage, so why was she taken to this strange place?
Did she encounter bandits on the road?
Was she kidnapped?
Yu Zhizhi called out a few more times, but perhaps because her voice was too soft, no one responded.
Helplessly, she could only call the system in her heart.
[Where… where am I?]
System: "This is not related to the mission. Please explore on your own."
[Then let me check my inventory. I want to know the last mission reward. Ah, I can't see anything now, please read it to me.]
The system read out the last mission reward.
In addition to the regular confinement gift package, there was also a nutrient solution for filling the stomach. In addition, there was something else Yu Zhizhi had never seen before -
【Mantra Potion】
"What about the main plot?" she asked softly.
[System: I told you when we were in the car, but you were semi-conscious at the time and had not yet decided to use the two-choice welfare coupon.]
Yu Zhizhi curled her toes slightly and asked nervously, "Will the welfare coupons disappear?"
[System: No. Host, do you want to use it now? ]
call…
Yu Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief.
That's good.
You can see two tasks at a time and you can choose at least one of them, which is relatively not difficult.
"Yes." Yu Zhizhi pursed her lips and listened quietly.
[System: The welfare voucher has been used. Two main quests are unlocked—]
[Main Path 1: Capture the adult male of the snake tribe.]
[Main Path 2: Conquer the leader of the fox tribe.]
【Host, please choose. 】
The adult male of the snake tribe and the leader of the fox tribe...
It seems that, judging from the content, the snake tribe has no requirements for identity and status, and only requires adulthood, which is simpler.
Yu Zhizhi prefers the first one.
But she had to ask clearly.
"What is this place? Are there... lots of snakes?"
【System: Quite a few.】
That's the case!
Yu Zhizhi made a decision: "I choose the first one!"
[System: Ding! Congratulations to the host for starting the third main mission. You are required to capture an adult male snake (regardless of identity) within one month. If the male conceives and gives birth to a cub, it will be considered a success. Failure or mission timeout will result in elimination! Please hurry up, the countdown begins—]
Yu Zhizhi struggled for a bit and found that her hands tied behind her back had become even tighter.
There were footsteps outside the door.
After more than ten seconds, the door was pushed open.
"Squeak—"
She heard a familiar voice.
"Ms. Zhizhi, please don't move. The thing wrapped around your wrist is alive. The more you move, the tighter it gets. If you don't want your wrist to be broken, just lie still." Chapter 31: Raising.
—It's the Duke in the coach!
Yu Zhizhi became nervous instinctively. She dodged backwards and found that her hands and feet were tied and it was difficult for her to move.
I felt the side of the bed pressing down on me.
The man sat down on the edge of the bed, holding a small silver teapot in his hand.
"Are you thirsty?" he asked in a low voice.
"Um…"
Yu Zhizhi was very thirsty. She had walked for a long time without drinking any water. Especially after a nap, her lips were dry and her throat felt like it was burned by fire.
The girl curled up on the white bed, her fluffy dress spread out messily, making her snow-white skin look even more delicate. With her eyes covered with a white ribbon, she could only see a blurry figure.
The Duke took a sip of his tea.
The small teapot in his hand was very delicate, with a silver luster and a small black snake carved on it, extending all the way to the tea spout, looking lifelike.
The man said lazily, "Open your mouth."
Yu Zhizhi was stunned.
"Aren't you thirsty?" He sat beside the bed with a faint smile on his face. "The little beast raised in the mansion must be hungry. It hasn't eaten meat for a long time, especially a lively little rabbit."
Yu Zhizhi's face turned pale.
Same voice, same tone, but the man became much more dangerous than when she was riding in the carriage.
Her throat was so dry that it hurt to swallow.
I feel like I'm going to die if I don't drink water.
Yu Zhizhi lay on her side, she turned her head and slowly opened her mouth.
A thin stream of water gently poured into her mouth.
There is the fragrance of tea.
The man held the small teapot and fed water to his new found pet.
Seeing that she was obedient, his tone became much gentler: "Guess what kind of tea this is. If you guess correctly, I can grant you one request."
…ah?
Yu Zhizhi drank two sips of tea to relieve her thirst. She was stunned for a moment and tried to speak: "...Green tea?"
The Duke paused for a moment, "Even three-year-old beastmen know what green tea is. Be more specific."
"Hmm." Yu Zhizhi began to think.
She seemed to have seen types of tea in a book.
"Lepsang Souchong…?"
"Wrong."
"Puro?"
"Wrong. You have one last chance."
"... Bamboo Leaf Tea?"
Yu Zhizhi thought, snakes like bamboo. Duke Bolan is a snake, so it makes sense that he likes bamboo leaf tea.
The little female guessed right.
The man smiled and took a sip of tea.
"You can make your request now."
What does this little female want? Does she want to untie her hands and feet, or does she want to have a good meal, or ask herself why she is here?
Although Yu Zhizhi is very hungry, what she is most concerned about now is Dracula.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Is he okay now?
"I want to know..." Yu Zhizhi's cheek pressed against the soft bed. She whispered, "Eagle orc, how is he?"
"You're already tied up here, and you still have the mood to worry about other males?" The man's voice was tinged with danger. "Since this is your first offense, I will not bother with you."
"...I want to eat." Yu Zhizhi curled up her body and changed her request.
"Did you hear that?" Duke Platinum looked back.
Two figures bowed and saluted: "Yes."
They left in a hurry.
"Bring some water." the man ordered.
The two figures standing outside the door saluted: "As you command."
"Is this your territory?" Yu Zhizhi asked in a low voice.
"What do you think?"
"Didn't you say you would send me back...?"
"I just said I would send you back, but I didn't say where. Living here is no worse than a wolf's den."
"…"
There were footsteps.
The maids put freshly poured hot water next to the bed.
The man picked up the towel, wet it, wrung it dry, and then held the girl's slender ankle with one hand.
Yu Zhizhi shuddered and wanted to hide.
The other party easily pulled her over: "It's so dirty, wipe it off."
The warm towel was placed on her feet, gently wiping away the mud. A pair of dark feet gradually revealed their original appearance.
The female rabbits have small and delicate feet, which are pure white, like a piece of fine jade, smooth and delicate, with slightly curled toes, looking very cute.
I wet the towel again and wiped it along her ankles to her round calves.
Yu Zhizhi was trembling all over.
This touch reminded her of when her mother wiped her body in the same way when she was in the hospital.
The man's actions frightened her and reminded her of the past.
"Why did you tie me here?" she said softly.
"When I was a child, I had a pet. I bathed it every day and held it to sleep. Later, it bit me." Duke Bolan's hands were delicate and gentle, and his tone was also smiling. "So I sent it to the slaughterhouse."
"But I really like to keep pets. So I kept many of them, of all kinds. They were very docile at first, but gradually, they became less obedient. But it didn't matter, I was kind-hearted, so I sent them to the hospital..."
"What's the point of sending him to the hospital?" Yu Zhizhi was puzzled.
"Euthanasia." The Duke smiled.
"They are much happier than the first pet that was sent to the slaughterhouse."
Yu Zhizhi: "…"
Does this snake have some kind of mental illness?
"I really like having pets."
Duke Platinum sat beside the bed and wet the towel again.
"I want to have a white, small, docile and well-behaved pet. I want it to eat and travel with me, and it can also nestle beside my legs when I'm working."
"If it's cute and obedient enough, I can even let it sleep in the same bed with me."
Yu Zhizhi just felt depressed: "What does this have to do with me?"
"Huh? How can it be okay?" The man laughed softly twice, "You are my new little pet."
"I thought about it. Those unintelligent creatures are just animals after all. It's too difficult to expect them to always understand my thoughts."
"However, it might be more interesting to raise a little female rabbit."
The Duke held out his hand.
The black snake that bound Yu Zhizhi slid up along the man's fingers and soon reached his shoulder.
My hands are finally free.
The next second, her wrist was held by the person in front of her.
"My requirements are not high. I need to be docile and obedient. I need to wash myself clean every day and not run around dirty."
"—I refuse."
Yu Zhizhi's voice was barely audible, like a stubborn little flower that was trembling but still trying to be strong.
"Heh..." The man laughed: "You have no right to refuse."
"I have just advanced to S-rank. According to the laws of the empire, you must protect me."
"Naive." Duke Bolan said lightly, "In everyone's opinion, you have been kidnapped by the Eagle Orcs."
"Even if you die here tonight, no one will know."
"How can the imperial law convict me of something that no one knows about?"
Duke Platinum didn't want to push the newly acquired pet too hard.
He dropped a candy bar.
"If you are willing to be my little pet, I can tell you anything you want to know if I am happy."
Yu Zhizhi's wrist was still held in the man's hand. She lay on the bed with her breathing slightly stagnant.
"Including news about the Eagle Orc?"
She asked softly.
When the little female mentioned this eagle male, even her tone changed.
Duke Bolan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Thank you for your votes, see you tomorrow!
Yu Zhizhi curled up on her side on the bed. She felt the person in front of her wiping her palms with a warm towel.
He wiped it very attentively.
Just when Yu Zhizhi thought he would not respond, the man spoke.
"-certainly."
If you want the little female to be obedient, you have to let her taste a little sweetness. This intelligence "sugar" is like a hanging carrot, hooking her to move forward.
Two maids brought in the delicious food. They put the tray on the table and leaned back.
Yu Zhizhi, who was blindfolded, smelled the fragrance of the food.
"Can I take off the blindfold?" Her left hand gently touched the white gauze on her eyes, and after getting the Duke's consent, she slowly pulled it off.
The light in the house was soft and dim. I hadn't seen anything for a long time, so everything in front of me seemed blurry.
The Duke was sitting beside the bed. After Yu Zhizhi slowly sat up and leaned against the bed rail, he spread out his hands slightly, and the black snake on his shoulder slid down and wrapped around the girl's wrists, locking them tightly.
...Huh?
Why is it tied up again?
Yu Zhizhi stared at the black snake on her wrist in a daze. It happened to be spitting its tongue at her...
The Duke saw that the little female shuddered.
She is afraid of snakes.
Yu Zhizhi has always been afraid of snakes. Once, a small green snake jumped into the ward and was quickly driven away by her mother. However, Yu Zhizhi was so scared that she couldn't sleep well for a week.
She didn't dare to look at the snake wrapped around her wrist, so she could only turn her head and look at the food placed beside her.
"I'm hungry…"
Yu Zhizhi's voice was like a wounded bird, soft and fragile.
She saw the man cut the pancake with a knife.
The Duke cut a small piece of vegetable pie into pieces and handed it to Yu Zhizhi's lips with a fork.
She smelled the rich aroma and her stomach growled.
Yu Zhizhi opened her mouth, held the piece of food, chewed it slowly and swallowed it.
—Delicious!
She opened her eyes slightly, the aroma of vegetables lingering in her mouth, leaving an endless aftertaste.
The food in the Duke's mansion tastes very different from that of the K family. Maybe snakes and wolves have different eating habits?
"I... I can eat by myself."
Yu Zhizhi didn't dare to look at him. She only knew that the man's figure was very close to her. In her sight, his robe was half open, revealing his chest slightly.
"I just found this little pet, so I will feed it myself."
He picked up another vegetable cake and handed it to the little female. Her cheeks were stained with a beautiful blush, she lowered her head, opened her mouth to hold the food in front of her, bit it off and chewed it gently, her cheeks slightly bulging.
Click, click.
The biscuits made a slight sound in her mouth.
It's like seeing a little rabbit chewing on a cabbage leaf.
The Duke smiled, and he couldn't help but sigh that he had indeed found a pet that satisfied him this time.
At least in appearance, there is no one more suitable than her.
After eating half a cake, Yu Zhizhi felt full. The Duke brought her cream of mushroom soup and fed her spoonful by spoonful.
The little female looks good in every way except that she is too thin.
A drop of cream of mushroom soup spilled from the corner of his mouth. The Duke raised his hand and gently wiped it away with his thumb: "Every day, I will watch you eat, and you are not allowed to leave a single bite."
He wanted to raise this little female into a fat rabbit so that she would be comfortable to hold.
Yu Zhizhi ate her fill.
It was the first time for her to be fed by a strange man.
Feeling her cheeks getting slightly hot, Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but lift her eyes and glance at him quickly. When she met a pair of golden vertical pupils, she immediately lowered her head and felt a tingling sensation in her chest.
...I couldn't see his appearance clearly.
It's that pair of golden vertical pupils that look too much like a "snake".
Ah, no, he is the snake!
The Duke noticed that the little female was peeking at him, and he shrank back in fear at the first glance. He looked lazy and said, "How can you please me if you are so timid?"
"Learn the rules these few days. When you have learned them well, come to me."
The man stood up and prepared to leave.
Yu Zhizhi asked softly, "What if I can't learn it well?"
He glanced at the little female and said lightly, "Slaughterhouse or hospital, choose one."
After the Duke left, the two black snakes tied to her hands and feet slowly slid down the bed and followed him away.
Finally free from restraints—
Yu Zhizhi collapsed all of a sudden. She leaned against the head of the bed, staring at the gorgeous chandelier above the room with a distracted look.
This room is large, yet empty.
There was nothing else except this big white bed.
I don't know if it's because of her "human" genes or because she's now a rabbit, but Yu Zhizhi is really afraid of snakes.
Just looking at it makes me feel creepy.
Thinking of the strategy mission, she felt a headache. If the male snakes all had vertical pupils like the Duke...
She was so scared, how could she get close?
After a while, a maid came in. She looked about 40 years old, wearing a pair of frameless glasses and had a kind smile.
"Miss Zhizhi, the Duke asked me to teach you the rules of being a pet."
When she saw Yu Zhizhi, the maid's eyes lit up slightly—
This is really a beautiful little female. No wonder the Duke is so patient with her and even lets me teach her personally.
"You can call me Teacher Dai Li."
"Teacher Dai Li." Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but sit up straight.
Dai Li adjusted her glasses and smiled, "In fact, the Duke's Mansion has very strict rules for servants, but it is particularly tolerant of the Duke's pets."
"Miss Zhizhi, you just need to remember that no matter when or where, do not disobey the Duke and obey all his instructions."
"The Duke is very good to pets. He once had a little white lion that lived a more comfortable life than the princesses in the palace. Unfortunately, when the little lion grew up, it was not so obedient, so the Duke sent it to the slaughterhouse."
"One thing is just a personal friendly reminder from me."
Dai Li walked to the bed, sat down, and said slowly -
"Your Excellency the Duke prefers pets that are more enthusiastic."
"For example, he'd like a happy puppy that greets him with a wagging tail when he comes home, but not a cat that's moody, bashful, and reluctant."
"If you are willing to show your enthusiasm and obey all his instructions, your days in the Duke's Mansion will be very comfortable."
"On the contrary..." Dai Li smiled: "You know, there is only one possible outcome for abandoned pets."
Abandoned pets die.
At least on the Beast World, those unintelligent little animals have no ability to survive independently. Once abandoned by their owners, they will either starve to death or be hunted down by the city guards.
The Duke's case was even simpler, his abandoned pets would be sent directly to the slaughterhouse. The better ones would be euthanized by injection in the hospital.
"Passion..." Yu Zhizhi whispered these two words, and she seemed to understand something.
Now, she not only has the task of [capturing male snakes], but also wants to get [the latest news about Dracula]. Therefore, she has to overcome her fear of snakes and gain the Duke's trust.
"Teacher Dai Li, please send me to the Duke tomorrow."
V! Dear friends, please support me~
Chapter 33: Hug and caress.
Yu Zhizhi's range of activities is limited to this empty room.
When she decided to go to the Duke tomorrow, Dai Li adjusted her mirror frame, turned around and said to the butler outside the door: "Go ask the tailor to come and tailor a few sets of clothes for Miss Zhizhi."
As Dai Li said, as a "pet", she does not need to follow the rules that servants follow.
All she had to do was wash herself clean, put on beautiful clothes, go to the Duke's study, and wait patiently for his return.
the next day.
Walking in the courtyard with a bridge and water, Yu Zhizhi looked at the red carp swimming in the pond. She noticed that the mansion had more ancient oriental style than the K family's castle.
The buildings all have a flavor that combines ancient aesthetics with future technology.
Yu Zhizhi noticed that the servants rarely spoke and walked very lightly.
"Teacher Dai Li." She called softly.
"Ms. Zhizhi, please speak."
"Where are all the snakes in the territory?"
The third main quest does not require the identity of a male snake.
If conquering the Duke is too difficult...
Then she will change one! As long as the task can be completed!
"Besides the young masters and young ladies, there are some guards carefully selected from the Snake Clan."
"...Master, Miss?"
Yu Zhizhi was stunned. "Is the Duke married?"
"No, the Duke is not interested in matters of mate." Dai Li couldn't help but glance at the little female rabbit following beside her.
In fact, a beautiful and lovely S-level female like this is the most qualified to be a duchess. Miss Zhizhi is much better than those other females who try their best to get close to the duke.
However, over the years, the Duke has not taken a fancy to any female beastman.
Knowing the little female's doubts, Dai Li explained with a smile:
"The two young masters and the two young ladies are all descendants of the snake clan adopted by the Duke. They are all good children."
After walking through a long corridor and turning into a secluded courtyard, as soon as you enter, you will see a large pond full of blue lotuses.
The deep and silent colors are magnificent and mysterious.
"This is the Duke's study. Miss Zhizhi, please wait inside. Don't be afraid or shy. The Duke hates pets that are shy."
"Good luck to you." Dai Li closed the door gently.
Only Yu Zhizhi was left in the study.
There was an antique chopping board with some office documents piled on it. Behind the round window, the white gauze curtain rolled up lightly, and the courtyard was mottled with shadows, so it was difficult for the sun to shine in directly.
The red floor was so clean that there was not a speck of dust.
Yu Zhizhi stepped on it barefoot. She prepared herself mentally: "Don't panic, don't be afraid. He looks like a human, not a snake—"
She waited a day.
The Duke did not return until all the light had gone out.
Yu Zhizhi turned on a desk lamp. She sat on the floor, leaning against the table, and waited patiently.
In the second half of the night, there was movement at the door.
Her bunny ears twitched slightly.
I opened my eyes sleepily, turned my head, and saw the study door opened and a slender figure walked in.
The man didn't pause even when he saw the little female beside the chopping board.
After he came back, he took a bath, had a meal, changed into a comfortable robe, and came over only after hearing the servant say that the little pet had been waiting in the study for a day.
He walked straight to the chopping board, sat down, and saw the little female staring at him blankly with her rabbit eyes open.
—Did you fall asleep?
"You, you're back." Yu Zhizhi thought of Teacher Dai Li's reminder, and she immediately sat up straight.
"Hmm? Missed me?" A strange smile appeared on the Duke's face.
Yu Zhizhi was a little flustered: "Do you need me to help you organize the books? Or, I can make tea for you."
Feel that the little pet is trying its best to be attentive.
Her attitude is much better than yesterday. Although it is still very awkward, there is a lot of room for improvement and she can be trained slowly.
"No need." The Duke leaned back on the soft chair. He sat lazily, his dark purple robe half-opened as he moved. "You are a pet, not a servant. Just do your duty as a pet."
"Then..." Yu Zhizhi didn't know what to do.
The Duke picked up the slender pipe on the table, took a pinch of dry tobacco, put it in the pipe and lit it.
"Come here." He said lazily, "Sit in my arms."
Yu Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, and she slowly moved over. When she came in front of him, she was a little nervous and hesitant.
The Duke in front of him looked to be in his twenties, with slightly long, slightly curly dark blue hair, devilish facial features, and particularly creepy golden vertical pupils. His dark purple robe was loose, but he had an indelible noble air.
—Just like the blue lotus planted in his yard, rich, beautiful, and with a hint of danger.
The little female came to my side, and the scent of jasmine mixed with milk hit my face.
He took a puff of his cigarette, raised his hand and held her small body in his arms.
Yu Zhizhi immediately lay on his chest.
The man's hand was facing upwards, slowly stroking her rabbit ears, back and forth, gently kneading them.
There was remnant of scented shower gel in her hair.
A pair of rabbit ears drooped slightly, as if shyly closing at the man's fingertips.
Yu Zhizhi trembled all over and her face turned red. She felt the Duke touching her ears, just like touching a real little rabbit.
Treat her completely as a pet.
"Hmm?" The Duke was enjoying the pleasure of petting the rabbit when he noticed that the rabbit's ears in his hands became hot.
He lowered his eyes and found that the little female's cheeks were like ripe tomatoes, red and smoking. She closed her eyes slightly, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and he didn't know whether she was comfortable or enduring.
The Duke's gaze became deep: "Don't like it?"
Hearing his voice, Yu Zhizhi shuddered and instinctively hugged his waist.
Yu Zhizhi always remembers what Teacher Dai Li said.
"No... I don't dislike it..."
"So you like it?"
"I like it." Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, barely audible.
The Duke was not going to let her off easily: "What do you like?"
"I like you touching my...ears..."
A wicked smile appeared on the man's face. He lifted the delicate chin of the little female with his fingers and said, "Then you should say, please touch my ears, Your Excellency the Duke."
His golden vertical pupils were reflected in Yu Zhizhi's eyes, and his viper's breath became even stronger and heavier, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Yu Zhizhi slightly opened her cherry lips and imitated what he taught her.
"Please... please, Your Excellency, touch my ears."
Seeing that she was obedient, the man nodded with satisfaction. He raised his hand and gently rubbed her head: "If you behave like this every day, I will satisfy you with whatever you want."
Want?
She wants intelligence.
I want a snake cub...
Can they really satisfy me?
"I...I..." Yu Zhizhi was trying to organize her words.
Even though this male snake was smiling while talking, he still looked scary.
"I want to know the follow-up to the collapse of the wolf tribe's altar."
She changed her words.
The Duke's fingers gently pinched her furry bunny ears, and he didn't stop moving when he heard the question.
"It just so happened that I heard a little rumor today."
"Six nobles died during the wolf tribe's ancestor worship ceremony. Twelve were seriously injured."
The man laughed joyfully, "Your lover is indeed amazing. He used a long-lost solar formation to turn the Imperial City upside down."
Crab Crab Baby voted for me~ Muah! See you tomorrow!
2024-07-08 Author: Tofu and Taro Paste
Chapter 34 "Do you like him that much?"
Those who died this time were all famous people.
The K family was busy for two days and two nights. They had to deal with things both inside and outside the territory.
The Duke held a slender pipe in his right hand. The top of the pipe was shaped like a blue lotus, and the fireworks of the burning tobacco could be vaguely seen.
He held the sweet and soft little pet in his right hand, stroked her rabbit ears for a long time, and then his palm slowly dropped and gently rested on her back.
The little pet is wearing a pure white gauze skirt with thin straps today.
She lay quietly on his chest.
I could feel my breathing becoming a little rapid.
"And...what else?" Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but ask.
"I'm a little tired. Let's continue tomorrow."
The Duke deliberately did not mention the eagle.
He saw a trace of confusion on the little female's face, and gradually, she became a little lost.
"Oh..." Yu Zhizhi didn't ask any more questions, but just nodded slightly.
"Unhappy?" The Duke glanced at her.
"No…"
"Remember, I don't like my pets being in a bad mood. Considering that you have just adapted to your new identity, I will not punish you today." The Duke said quietly.
He put down his pipe, patted her on the back and motioned for her to sit up.
After Yu Zhizhi got up.
The Duke stood up and walked barefoot towards the inner room of the study. His purple robe dragged on the ground, and through an exquisite and luxurious screen, Yu Zhizhi saw the Duke taking off his robe.
—She quickly turned her back.
He changed into a more comfortable white home robe with the collar open, and when he passed by the "avoiding suspicion" little pet, he glanced at it lightly.
"Your rabbit nest is in the back, go to sleep by yourself."
Seeing the little female staring at him in a daze.
He stopped, stared, and smiled: "Why, do you want to take a bath with me?"
"—I've washed it!" Yu Zhizhi responded quickly.
I was afraid that if I said it a second late, he would carry me to the bathroom.
After the Duke left.
The taut string in Yu Zhizhi's mind slowly loosened.
She was indeed sleepy now.
I stood up and walked behind the screen, and saw a bed. On the other side of the bed was a white, furry nest.
Could this be the rabbit nest the Duke was talking about?
Orcs can switch to beast form.
However, Yu Zhizhi has never become a complete little white rabbit.
[Satan—]
When in doubt, call the system.
[How can I turn into a rabbit?]
[System: Awaken your spiritual power.]
"Then when can I awaken my spiritual power?"
Yu Zhizhi's two abilities were both gray and had not yet been unlocked. During the last test, she remembered that the female black panther had awakened [mental power] and [superpowers] on the spot.
【System: Depends on individual circumstances, there is no unified time. 】
If you can't turn into a rabbit, you can't sleep in a rabbit hole.
Yu Zhizhi sat on the cushion beside the bed. She was so sleepy that she fell asleep with her head against the edge of the bed.
The Duke returns from his bath.
I saw that the little pet did not sleep in the rabbit nest, but fell asleep leaning against the corner of the bed.
The golden vertical pupil pondered for a moment, and he suddenly remembered that the little female had not yet awakened her spiritual power and could not turn into a rabbit now.
She didn't sleep in the rabbit hole.
I didn't go to bed without permission.
It is more human-like than any previous pet.
So obedient.
The Duke was in a pretty good mood and he picked up the little rabbit.
—Then let her go to bed.
As a reward.
Yu Zhizhi had a dream.
She dreamed that she was entangled by a snake, which became tighter and tighter until she could not breathe.
Struggling to wake up.
The sunlight from outside the window shone through the screen, and she found that she had been lying on the bed without knowing when, with a man's arm lying across her chest, tightly strangling her.
The bed curtains were blown up by the wind.
She dared not move, for fear of waking up the Duke who was sleeping behind her.
The female's breathing was deliberately slowed.
But the heartbeat in my chest was speeding up.
The Duke held her in his arms from behind. She felt soft and comfortable. If she had a little more flesh, it would feel better.
"Awake?" The man's voice was hoarse as if he had just woken up.
Yu Zhizhi nodded slightly.
He didn't let go.
Instead, he hugged her even tighter.
...Come to think of it, he hasn't slept so well in a long time.
A dreamless night.
He didn't like the smell of his previous pets. No matter how strong the fragrance was, it still felt a bit pungent.
She smelled very nice, a light mixture of jasmine and milk.
I feel like this is the right pet to keep.
The Duke gently stroked the little female's head and rubbed her rabbit ears.
After waking up, I hugged her and jerked her for a long time.
Yu Zhizhi bit the quilt gently and felt a tingling sensation in her ears. The man almost held her entire ears in his hands and slowly stroked them from bottom to top.
Her rabbit ears could no longer stand up straight and could only hang limply, allowing the Duke to play with them at will.
I pet the rabbit until I am satisfied.
The Duke sat up and said, "Someone come."
The door of the study opened.
The servants brought water and began to help their master get up early and wash up.
When they saw the female rabbit lying on the bed with her face covered by a quilt, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
—This is the first time I have seen a female on the Duke's bed!
After the Duke was dressed, he glanced at the bulging blanket behind him.
"Can't you pay it back?"
Yu Zhizhi sat up slowly.
The maid helped her change clothes and wash, and when everything was ready, she took her to the dining table.
A table full of delicious food.
In front of her was a pair of stewed carrots, cut into small pieces and looking fresh and colorful.
Yu Zhizhi picked up the fork.
The Duke was reading today's newspaper, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, he lazily read:
"According to the investigation, the one who triggered the Sun Formation was the current leader of the Eagle Clan. He had been lurking in the K Family as a godfather before the Wolf Clan's sacrifice."
Yu Zhizhi stopped eating, her rabbit ears slightly erected, listening attentively.
"Before that, the assassinated prince of the Valoran Empire might also be related to him. On the day of the sacrifice, the imperial iron cavalry surrounded the entire mountain and fought for two days and two nights. The leader of the Eagle Tribe fell into the air due to exhaustion—"
Yu Zhizhi stared blankly at the air.
When she left, Dracula was badly injured.
After fighting with so many imperial cavalry for two days and two nights, I was exhausted...
Tears as big as beans rolled down her eyes. The food on the plate in front of her became tasteless. Yu Zhizhi cried silently.
The Duke, holding a newspaper, saw the little female sitting opposite him crying.
His hand holding the newspaper paused slightly, and his golden vertical pupils fell on her tear-stained face. The little female cried so sadly that her eyelashes stuck together, and the plate on the table became a container for pearls.
The little pet has always been very well behaved, never complains, never resists, and allows anyone to pet him or her.
In bed, no matter how tightly I hold you, I won't struggle.
But now he keeps crying.
The Duke felt very upset when he saw this.
He said faintly: "Do you like him that much?"
It's better not to ask.
Upon hearing the Duke's voice, Yu Zhizhi could no longer control herself and burst into tears.
She had never cried so miserably since coming to the Beast World Planet.
It seems like I want to vent all my sadness today.
"Woo woo—"
She held the fork, crying breathlessly and even hiccuping.
The Duke originally wanted to punish her. In his mansion, no orc dared to cry in front of him.
Even pets are not allowed.
He is annoying.
But now seeing her pitiful appearance, the Duke's tone unconsciously softened, even with a hint of helplessness.
"It's too early to cry."
"At least listen to me finish reading."
There is another chapter at 7pm~!
(End of this chapter) Chapter 35 Wild Dogs.
She cried so sadly.
After they parted in the mountains, Yu Zhizhi had been worried about Dracula's condition. When she heard what the Duke read out and thought that he had been in trouble, she couldn't stop crying.
But the Duke said that she cried too early...?
Yu Zhizhi's crying stopped abruptly. She sobbed softly, raised her misty eyes, and looked at the man sitting opposite her.
He was wearing a loose dark purple robe and holding a newspaper in his hand. His golden vertical pupils stared straight at her. The follower beside him poured him a cup of black tea.
The Duke went on reading.
"The Huiyue formation under the forest was activated, and the leader of the Cang Nation disappeared in full view of everyone, and his whereabouts are unknown."
"Sun and Moon Dual Formation..."
"You are really capable."
An unfriendly smile appeared on the Duke's face.
...disappeared.
Yu Zhizhi silently recited these three words in her heart.
She suddenly saw hope.
Dracula may have escaped. We haven't caught him and our body hasn't been seen, which means he is still alive!
"Are you not crying anymore?" The Duke glanced at her.
Yu Zhizhi's hand holding the fork trembled slightly. She picked up a piece of carrot and stuffed it into her mouth.
The little female eats very seriously.
She seemed to have completely forgotten that she had just cried, even though her nose was red and there were tear marks at the corners of her eyes.
This new little pet is generally good, except that its tear glands are a little overdeveloped.
The Duke turned a page of the newspaper and picked up his teacup: "Don't cry in front of me from now on. Do you hear me?"
"I heard it." Yu Zhizhi responded softly.
There was the sound of wind chimes coming from the front.
The servant came to the door and bowed, "My lord, Earl Grey is here."
"Please ask him to come in."
After hearing this, Yu Zhizhi quickly stuffed the remaining food into her mouth.
"I... I'm done eating." She raised the plate, indicating to the Duke to eat it all himself.
"Go and have fun." The Duke put down the newspaper.
Yu Zhizhi's eyes lit up slightly, she quickly stood up, bowed and hurried out.
I almost bumped into someone head on.
She looked up and saw a young man in a white noble suit, with amber hair and eyes. When he saw her, he was slightly startled.
Yu Zhizhi lowered her head and slipped away from him.
She was wearing a white knee-length gauze skirt and walking barefoot on the wooden floor of the corridor, her steps brisk and filled with the joy of the early morning.
—She was sincerely happy about the news that Dracula was not dead.
The pond in the yard was full of blue lotuses. The servants cleaning the yard moved gently and quietly, making almost no sound.
Yu Zhizhi walked past them.
The followers saluted one after another.
She tried to go out and found no one to stop her.
Yu Zhizhi bit her lip and sneaked out. Leaving the study yard, there was a long road outside, lined with green trees and neatly arranged cobblestones on the ground.
There is a pavilion in front.
She had just taken a few steps when she heard a girl's sneer.
"Ugly!"
Accompanied by the sound of a whip, the girl mocked unscrupulously.
"Look at you now, what female master would be interested in you? I told you earlier that if you just obeyed me, I would guarantee you a life of wealth and glory. You are blind, and now you are in my hands! I will beat you to death!"
There were three consecutive whippings. Yu Zhizhi hid behind a tree and vaguely saw a figure kneeling on the ground being suppressed by two orcs.
—His back was straight, covered in blood, but he refused to bend.
Yu Zhizhi suddenly heard the voice of the system.
[System: Ding! The host has triggered the side quest! ]
[System: After completion, you can get a "teleportation scroll" and have a chance to teleport instantly on the lit map.]
[System: Host, would you like to accept this side quest? ]
Teleportation scroll?
If I have this, can I teleport directly after completing the task?
Yu Zhizhi nodded quickly.
[I take it, I take it!]
—She really wants the [Teleportation Scroll]!
[System: Ding! Congratulations to the host for activating the side quest "Save the Wild Dog". Save the wild dog from the female snake tribe and ensure his life. If the wild dog survives for more than a month, the quest is considered successful and a "Teleportation Scroll (single)" is awarded!]
Save wild dogs...
The wild dog refers to the one who is about to be whipped to death?
"Who is it?"
The servant beside the girl saw the small figure hiding behind the tree and immediately scolded him.
The guards on both sides of the pavilion drew their swords on the spot.
Yu Zhizhi had never seen such a scene before. She was shocked and her face turned pale.
Feeling a knife hovering at her neck, she dared not move and could only slowly walk out from behind the tree under the coercion of the guards.
The girl holding the whip narrowed her eyes slightly: "Rabbit tribe? Is there any banquet recently?"
"To answer the young lady, no."
"Who are you? Why are you in Lord Bolan's mansion? Are you a spy sent by other forces?" The girl approached with a whip.
"No, I just came back from abroad with the Duke."
Yu Zhizhi saw the girl gradually walking towards her. She had a pair of dark brown vertical pupils and a cold look in her eyes.
The eyes of the snake orcs are particularly easy to recognize, and are almost indistinguishable from those of snakes.
Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but take a step back.
The girl approached and pushed away the knife that was on the neck of the little female rabbit.
"I heard that Master Bolan brought back a pet. Is that you?"
"…Um."
"Why do you come to my pavilion when you can't just stay with Master Bolan?"
"Go for a walk."
After the female snake knew her identity, she waved her hand and all the guards stepped aside.
The danger is over.
The girl circled around the little female rabbit. She smelled sweet and no one knew what kind of shower gel she used.
Or is it body odor?
"My name is Mu Mu." She introduced herself, "I am from the distant snake tribe. I am here to visit Master Bolan's home on behalf of my parents. I will not be back until the end of the year."
"My name is—"
"I know you."
The snake girl interrupted Yu Zhizhi directly.
"I've watched the live broadcast. Now everyone is talking about you, saying that you were abducted by the leader of the Cang Nation. I didn't expect that it was Master Bolan who brought you back."
After confirming Yu Zhizhi's identity, the snake girl's hostility mostly disappeared.
The other party was a beautiful female rabbit, who was very pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, she, like herself, is of the noble S-class.
Yu Zhizhi took on the side quest. She really wanted the [Teleportation Scroll], so she asked softly, "What happened to him?"
"Him? He's blind. He must have offended me."
The snake girl crossed her arms and said, "He asked him to serve me at night, but he was not happy about it. He relied on his pretty face, but now I have scratched it~"
Yu Zhizhi looked at her blankly.
"Do you want to marry him?"
The snake girl's eyes widened: "How is that possible? What is his status? What is my status? At most, I can let him be my male pet. I will throw him away when I get tired of him."
"Unfortunately, he is disobedient and unwilling to commit himself to me. Then I will beat him to death." The snake girl said in a sad tone.
Yu Zhizhi's side quest is related to this wild dog.
She thought for a moment and said:
"Miss Mumu, can you give him to me? I can exchange him with other things."
"No, I'm still angry and I have to kill him, unless—"
"Unless Lord Bolan asks personally to give him to you."
A sly smile appeared on the snake girl's face.
"Miss Zhizhi, please go find the Duke."
Thank you all for your votes. See you tomorrow! Chapter 36 "Who do you like?"
Before this, Duke Platinum had never brought female beastmen back to his territory.
She was very curious, was this little rabbit a pet for Master Bolan, or was it something else?
—But.
Lord Bolan would never agree to her request.
The snake girl held a whip, put her hands behind her back, and slowly circled around the sweet little rabbit.
Yu Zhizhi thought about it seriously.
She nodded: "Okay, I'll go and ask the Duke. But...can you please spare his life first and stop beating him?"
"Ms. Zhizhi has already spoken, so I have to give her this favor."
The snake girl raised her chin slightly and said, "Take him to the warehouse and lock him up. No one is allowed to bring him food without my order."
"Yes." Two guards stepped forward and dragged the kneeling wild dog away.
Yu Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the "wild dog" had temporarily saved its life.
Facing the snake girl's brown vertical pupils, she smiled.
Yu Zhizhi stayed outside for most of the day. She saw the location of the warehouse, not far from the pavilion.
It takes about 30 minutes to walk from the study to the pavilion.
Not too close, nor too far.
It was almost dark when we returned.
The lights were on in the yard, and she saw the blue lotus in the pond, emitting a faint light, beautiful and hazy.
All the servants in the courtyard have left.
Yu Zhizhi tiptoed towards the study. She pushed the door open carefully and went in. She found a lantern with fireflies gathered on it on the chopping board in front of her.
The Duke disappeared.
She slowly sat down on the low table, looking at the official documents on it, wondering how she should ask the Duke for the "wild dog".
It was not until the afterglow disappeared and everything was silent that footsteps were heard behind me.
The door opened.
Yu Zhizhi turned around, saw the tall figure, stood up and trotted over.
When the Duke saw the little rabbit, her eyes were bright, her ears were cocked, she was holding the hem of her white skirt with her fingers, and she was slightly greeting him. She looked fresh, elegant, tender and cute.
He was in a good mood and nodded slightly: "Tired of playing?"
He was meeting guests today, so the little pet went out to play by himself for the day.
He didn't even come back for dinner.
Seeing her now, her long hair was slightly disheveled, and the Duke passed by her.
"Come with me."
Yu Zhizhi followed slowly, walked around the curtain, and came to a path from the back door. She stepped on the round pebbles and slowly, hot mist hit her face.
Ahead, the sound of water was gentle.
As far as the eye can see, there is a round bathing pool, surrounded by bamboo shadows and hung with red lanterns.
The pool was steaming and filled with blue petals.
"Your Excellency, do you want to take a bath?" she asked.
The Duke turned around, bent down slightly, stroked her head with one hand, and looked into her eyes: "You played outside all day, and there is a lot of dust on your body. You need to clean it well."
The little female opened her eyes slightly.
The Duke straightened up: "Sit in."
"I...I can wash it myself..." Yu Zhizhi said in a low voice.
"oh?"
The man's oppressive response made her alert immediately and she quickly soaked in the steaming pool.
Hmm—
The hot water flowed over her collarbone, and she leaned against the edge of the pool, feeling unprecedented physical and mental comfort.
It's just that she wasn't used to having people around, so she didn't dare take off her skirt.
...It would be nice if I could transform into a beast.
If I were really a chubby "rabbit" now, I wouldn't be so embarrassed, right?
When will my spiritual power be awakened?
Yu Zhizhi murmured in her heart.
Suddenly, she felt a hand gently touching her hair behind her.
It felt like it was covered with sticky, thick foam, and the person behind me was rubbing it gently.
The Duke was washing her hair carefully.
From the top of the head to the hair, every detail is taken extremely seriously.
In his eyes, Yu Zhizhi was just a little pet. Giving her a bath was the most normal thing.
By the way, I gently rubbed the rabbit ears.
The bubbles form in circles.
The Duke sat down.
He was at the poolside, his palms filled with soap, and after pressing and rubbing them, he placed his hands on the little female's shoulders and swirled them slowly.
The little female's skin is very smooth and delicate, and against the backdrop of foam, it looks like a freshly baked cake covered with sweet cream.
The Duke's hand slowly moved downwards...
Yu Zhizhi was soaked in hot water, and her cheeks were burning as if she had a high fever.
She closed her eyes, clasped her hands tightly, and tried hard to suppress the trembling all over her body.
The Duke thought of his previous pets, which struggled and cried in the water, but they were no match for the little female rabbit in front of him.
He increasingly felt that it was the right decision to keep this little pet.
After cleaning her, he covered her with a large towel, carried her back to the study.
The little female curled up in his arms, buried her head, her long wet hair still dripping, her rabbit ears drooping, as if she had just been drenched in the rain, very pitiful.
After returning to the study, he sat on the cushion, hugged her, and wiped the water stains from her hair.
The special material of the towel quickly dried the girl's hair.
Yu Zhizhi closed her eyes tightly and felt the towel wiping from her rabbit ears to her cheeks, then asked her to raise her head and wipe her neck.
The Duke's movements slowed down.
The little female had a delicate body, and the soft towel left red marks on her snow-white neck.
He smiled and his movements became lighter.
"Are you hungry?" he asked.
Yu Zhizhi didn't eat dinner at night, she nodded slightly.
She slowly opened her eyes, a layer of mist appeared in her eyes, her eyes were rippling like spring water, her cheeks were rosy and her lips were pink, making her look particularly delicate and lovely.
After returning from the Duke, she had hardly been to the fields.
He was holding me all the time.
Now she was sitting horizontally in his arms, her body slightly curled up, her hands clutching his dark purple collar, smelling his special scent.
The servants quickly brought the midnight snack.
It's a bowl of sesame dumplings.
The Duke hugged her, picked up the bowl, scooped up a glutinous rice ball with a spoon, blew it patiently to cool it down, and brought it to the little rabbit's lips.
Yu Zhizhi opened her mouth. The glutinous rice balls were a bit big. She took a bite and a spoonful of sesame seeds flowed out.
After eating half of it, put the rest into your mouth.
The dumplings here are delicious—
It feels like celebrating the New Year in the real world.
As she ate, her eyes became slightly moist.
"What's wrong?" The Duke noticed that the corners of his pet's eyes were slightly red, and he grinned: "Are you moved because you feel that I am so good to you?"
He had indeed never been so patient with any pet.
Maybe when they first raised it, they would take care of its diet. If it was thrown into the bathing pool, it would be washed by servants.
But she is different.
The Duke thought that he was the only one who could help her bathe.
After washing and wiping her clean, she smells soft and sweet when held in my arms. It is also easy to feed her.
After all, he was very satisfied with this pet.
If I live like this for my whole life...
It feels good.
"...I miss home." Yu Zhizhi sniffed.
She swallowed the second glutinous rice ball the Duke handed her, whole, with her cheeks puffed out.
Just a small bowl makes her full.
After eating.
Yu Zhizhi plucked up her courage and looked up at the man in front of her.
The Duke had slightly curly dark blue hair, and his golden vertical pupils revealed a hint of dangerous venomous snake. When he was not smiling, there seemed to be a layer of dark clouds between his brows, hiding faint lightning.
When he laughed, he was lazy and casual, without much happiness, and even a little creepy.
"I...I want a servant." She said softly.
"All the servants in the courtyard are yours."
"I, I've fallen in love with a—"
"Who do you like?" The Duke raised his eyebrows and asked in a gloomy tone: "Male or female?"
(End of this chapter) Chapter 37 "I want to have your snake baby..."
Male or female?
Uh...
Yu Zhizhi answered truthfully: "Male."
During the day, she could see clearly that the person kneeling on the ground was a male of the dog tribe.
The Duke had a meaningful smile on his face. He gently stroked the soft rabbit ears and thought, "What month is it now...?"
Yu Zhizhi lowered her head, her sitting posture remained unchanged, her nose buried in his chest, smelling the faint scent of shower gel on his body.
At the door, the servant responded respectfully: "April."
"April." The Duke murmured, "Could it be that the estrus period of the rabbit tribe is during these two months?"
Servant: "Your Excellency the Duke, the rabbit tribe is different from other tribes. The estrus period occurs every month."
Female rabbits, who are more talented, will be courted crazily by males from other groups.
S-level people like Yu Zhizhi are even more treasured!
The reason is—
They have a chance of getting pregnant every month.
For some groups, they may only be in estrus for one or two months a year, and even if they mate at other times, pregnancy will not occur.
"Is that so?" The Duke showed a lazy smile on his face. He lowered his eyes and looked at the little female sitting in his arms. "Although I have looked for partners for my pets before, there is no difference between raising one and raising a pair."
"But your words—"
"Why don't you tell me who you like first?"
companion?
Estrus period?
Yu Zhizhi was very familiar with these words.
She quickly shook her head: "No, I'm not looking for a spouse. I, I just want a servant. He is an orc from the dog tribe and is currently in the hands of Miss Mumu."
"Is there anything special about him?"
"…He was injured, seriously, seriously injured."
"Pity him?"
"Yeah." Yu Zhizhi nodded slightly.
The side quest accounted for half of the factor, and the other half, looking at the bloody back of the wild dog, was indeed a bit heartbreaking.
—He will really be beaten to death.
"You can save him." The Duke saw the little female's expression and knew she was not lying, "But you can't keep him in my yard. It's too dirty."
At the door, the servant bent over and said, "Your Excellency the Duke, why not put it in the utility room outside the courtyard?"
"Go and get the person early tomorrow morning," the Duke said gloomily.
"Yes, sir."
The servant closed the door gently.
Yu Zhizhi was delighted, thinking that if she took good care of the wild dog after it came, it should have no problem living for a month!
Then you can complete the side quest and get a one-time teleportation scroll!
Seeing the little female in his arms with curved eyebrows and eyes, the Duke's mood also became happy.
He lowered his head slightly and moved closer to her.
"I'm in a good mood now. If you have any other requests, you might as well raise them all at once."
As long as it's not too excessive, you can satisfy her.
In just two days, the Duke had decided to keep her by his side.
I dress her in different clothes every day, hold her while eating, hug her while sleeping, and caress her while working.
As long as we are at home, we are inseparable all the time...
The Duke actually asked himself.
What else do you want?
Yu Zhizhi's heart was beating fast. She raised her head and got very close to the man, almost nose to nose.
The firefly lights were dimly lit, and the entire study room fell into silence.
The Duke saw that the little female's cheeks were flushed, like an attractive little cherry blooming on a branch.
"I..." Yu Zhizhi was very shy. It was really embarrassing for her to say such words out loud.
She clutched the man's sleeve tightly: "I want to... have a snake baby..."
"...What?" Her voice was too soft for the Duke to hear clearly.
He moved closer.
Then.
He heard the little female say in a gentle voice: "I want to have your snake cub."
Every word is pronounced clearly.
This is Yu Zhizhi's main mission, which is to capture a male snake, regardless of his identity or status.
At the moment, the Duke seems to be the most suitable.
She is more familiar.
If I bypass the Duke and look for other people, I wonder if things will become troublesome?
As a member of the rabbit tribe, Yu Zhizhi is still afraid of snakes deep in her genes.
Other snakes' words -
It's even harder to get close to it.
And the Duke would be held in his arms and caressed for a long time every time, and his scent almost permeated her entire body.
The Duke's golden vertical pupils were slightly stunned.
He turned his head and looked at the little female in his arms. Her cheeks were like ripe tomatoes. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look him in the face.
"Don't joke with this duke." He said in a gloomy tone.
"It's not a joke." Yu Zhizhi buried her face in his arms, "I... really want..."
What did she want?
Did she want to have his cubs?
The little pet that was kidnapped from the K family had taken a bath and was now sitting in his arms, saying softly that she wanted to have his snake cubs.
As an adult male, the Duke naturally knew what she meant.
He was just surprised.
The rabbit clan's genes should make them fear the snake clan.
Actively seeking mating...
Is her estrus period a bit fierce?
The Duke patted her back gently: "Get up."
Yu Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, then she slowly stood up from the man's arms.
She was wearing a loose bathrobe and had her hands wrapped around her chest, holding the robe to prevent it from falling.
The Duke half leaned back in his chair and picked up the slender pipe beside him.
"Tell me who you are."
identity?
Yu Zhizhi murmured, "Rabbit tribe... S-level female?"
"This is your identity to the outside world. What about me? I have said it many times, what are you?"
"…pet."
Of course Yu Zhizhi knew.
The Duke mentioned it countless times.
She was the little pet he brought back from outside.
Keep it by your side and play with it when you have free time every day.
The air was filled with smoke.
The man's face was tinged with evil charm, and his voice sounded chilling: "As a pet, you must always remember your identity and don't overstep it."
"In my heart, the snake race is different from other races. They are the most noble beings."
"Except for the snake clan, they are all inferior."
"A rabbit like you can either be a pet or food. There is no third option."
"Do you understand what I mean?" The Duke glanced at the little female indifferently.
She lowered her head.
I don't know what I'm thinking.
Yu Zhizhi probably understood.
The Duke's contempt for other races. He seemed to have mysophobia, whether he was wiping her body or bathing her personally, he had to wash every part of her skin clean.
Perhaps deep down, they feel that other races are inferior to them.
If you think about it carefully, his "pampering" towards himself is indeed very similar to how humans treat kittens and puppies.
Hmm...
It was rejected.
Yu Zhizhi became so embarrassed that she couldn't even raise her head.
but.
The task still needs to be done.
She thought about it and asked softly, "Can I really not have a snake baby? Other male snakes will do..."
The Duke's hand holding the pipe froze slightly.
...?
His golden vertical pupils shrank slightly.
What? What is this little female talking about?
Other snakes?
Crab babies, please vote for recommendations and monthly tickets~~See you tomorrow!
2024-07-08 Author: Tofu and Taro Paste
Chapter 38 Dare you still think about other males?
Dare you still think about other males of the snake tribe?
The man refused.
"No, don't even think about it."
It seems that the little female has really reached estrus.
All she could think about now was mating.
The Duke was a little unhappy. He took a puff of cigarette and suppressed the irritation in his heart: "Without my permission, you are not allowed to have sex with any male of the beast tribe—"
He paused suddenly.
When female beastmen reach their estrus period, mating is a very normal thing.
The Duke discovered.
Not only the snake tribe, but even the males from other tribes, he could not allow them to get close to his pets.
Although he did have a pair before, giving his pet some companionship.
but-
She is different.
"Anyway, get in your position." The Duke looked away and stared at the top of the slender pipe, where a blue lotus was carved.
Yu Zhizhi was just asking.
Seeing the Duke's tough attitude, there was no room for bargaining.
She nodded slightly: "Oh."
This time, we have much more time for the mission than before.
This means she can make more preparations.
Maybe the Duke will change his mind tomorrow?
"Sleep?"
Yu Zhizhi asked softly.
After walking outside all day, she was a little tired.
The sound of a lighter.
A small flame jumped in the darkness.
Slowly, smoke drifted in.
The smell of this smoke is very light, with a quiet kind of incense.
"I'll look at some more documents. If you're tired, go to bed."
"oh…"
Yu Zhizhi held the bath towel and walked inside.
She saw the clothes behind the screen, with a crescent-colored lining, very loose. At this moment, she could not care about so much. After Yu Zhizhi put on the clothes and tied the belt, she barely wore clothes.
Snuggle into soft bedding.
It's a familiar taste.
A good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, following the Duke's instructions, the personal servant went to the residence of Miss Mu Mu of the Snake Clan to ask for the "wild dog".
The snake girl's brown pupils widened. "Did Lord Bolan really ask you to ask for it? He actually agreed?!"
Lord Bolan is a germaphobe and would never allow such a lowly slave to enter his field of vision.
Even if it was just outside his yard.
Not to mention, just to satisfy that little bunny's request.
The Duke's personal servant smiled peacefully, "Miss Mumu, I have to take him back and clean him up quickly."
The snake girl was still in shock.
She heard about the "pet" thing...
I also know that Duke Platinum has always been very good to pets.
It just changes more frequently.
However, the little rabbit is a female after all. Does the Duke keep her by his side without any thoughts?
—Agree with her to keep a male lover?
The snake girl patted her stiff cheek and turned around and said, "Go, take that wild dog out."
This world finally became insane and she no longer recognized it.
The personal servant was about forty years old and stood by with a smile on his face.
After they brought the person out, they walked towards the study together.
Yu Zhizhi was awakened by holding back.
While she was sleeping, she felt her nose was pressed into a sponge and she couldn't breathe.
The rabbit ears are completely pressed down.
She kicked her feet suddenly and opened her eyes.
What caught my eye was the collar on the man's chest.
The Duke got on the bed at some point and held her tightly in his arms, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
A drop of sweat ran down the man's chin and dripped onto Yu Zhizhi's eyelashes.
She blinked.
He found that the Duke in front of him was sweating profusely and his brows were furrowed.
It is in...
Having a nightmare?
His arms were like steel, holding her tightly.
The other party suddenly exerted force, and Yu Zhizhi let out a small moan.
Haunted by nightmares.
The Duke heard the little rabbit's humming and gradually regained consciousness.
He opened his eyes and saw the little female in his arms holding her breath until her cheeks were red. Her soft body pressed against his chest, and the clothes she wore were extremely ill-fitting. They were his usual nightgown, but on her, she looked like a child wearing adult clothes.
The Duke loosened his grip a little.
There was a slight gap.
Yu Zhizhi's breathing finally became smooth.
"Good morning." The man's tone was calm, with a barely perceptible smile.
Yu Zhizhi raised her hands, placed them on his chest, and kept some distance between them.
"Good morning..." The little female's voice was soft and sleepy, as if she had not woken up yet. She wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers.
"Are you okay?" Yu Zhizhi's eyes were full of concern.
The Duke looked at her in silence for a long moment.
The little female was extremely bad at concealing her emotions, and now she treated him like a patient, even trying to raise her hand to touch his forehead.
She really did that.
But it was not detecting his body temperature.
But...
Yu Zhizhi used her sleeve to wipe away the sweat on the Duke's forehead bit by bit. Her eyes were serious and her movements were extremely gentle and delicate.
My heart was slightly touched.
The man suddenly grabbed her slender wrist.
Before Yu Zhizhi could react, she was held in the other person's arms. He hugged the little pet and buried his face in her long hair.
Her slender waist was so soft that it looked like it would break if you exerted any force.
With such an intimate hug and a few small movements, the already loose clothes slipped slightly, revealing the round and petite shoulders.
And with no clothes covering their bodies, their skin was even closer.
Her warm skin pressed against his chest, especially the soft touch, made the Duke let out a comfortable sigh in his heart.
It felt wonderful to hold her in my arms.
It feels better than any furry pet I've ever had.
Yu Zhizhi was hugged tightly by him.
She could feel her heart beating violently.
The Duke's body temperature was icy cold, and when he hugged her, he couldn't help but shiver slightly.
After a long time.
The Duke let her go.
"I'm going to the palace today."
He pinched her rabbit ears very familiarly: "You are alone at home, be good. If you have any problems, go find your teacher Dai Li."
"Yeah~" Yu Zhizhi nodded.
The little female has always been docile, and so far, I have never seen her lose her temper.
The Duke picked up a strand of her hair and bent his head to sniff it.
"Before you go to bed, remember to take a shower. Don't bring dust into your bed."
"I remember." Yu Zhizhi replied softly.
"One more thing—"
"What?"
"Forget it, it hasn't been decided yet. I'll tell you when I get back in the evening."
He was actually very curious.
[What kind of expression will the little female have when she hears this news? 】
He rubbed her head.
The Duke sat up.
The servant outside the door came in to serve.
He left the study without having breakfast.
The maids held many sets of clean and well-fitting clothes for Yu Zhizhi to choose from.
She chose a plain knee-length skirt with a lace neckline. The maid was combing her hair and putting a pair of furry ball hairpins next to her bunny ears.
Hmm...
The rabbit lady that the Duke brought back is so cute.
While the maid was combing her hair, she couldn't help but sneak a peek in the mirror.
No wonder Lord Bolan likes her so much.
She is so beautiful and cute. If I were a male, I would definitely court her madly.
Not to mention—
[She is also an S-rank female. ]
The maid was very envious.
She suddenly remembered what the housekeeper had told her, and quickly said, "Miss Zhizhi, the stray dog you wanted to save has been brought back. It's been placed in the utility room outside the courtyard."
"I want to go and see it."
"Then I'll lead the way for you!" the maid volunteered.
There will be another chapter at 7pm!
Go out of the study, cross the pond and the corridor, and lead to the outside of the courtyard.
Yu Zhizhi ate a piece of freshly steamed rice cake. She couldn't wait to go and see the situation of the "wild dog".
We came to a path in a bamboo forest, where the morning light was shining and the air was filled with spring.
The maid followed her, holding a food box with fresh food in it.
Soon, Yu Zhizhi saw the storage room.
I heard that the place has been cleaned up and the wild dog can move in.
When Yu Zhizhi arrived, the doctor of the territory just walked out. He saw the little female coming towards him and nodded slightly.
"How is he?" Yu Zhizhi asked.
The doctor said earnestly, "His life has been saved for now, but his injuries are too severe. Whether he can hold on depends on himself."
Yu Zhizhi nodded.
She went up the steps with the maid.
"Squeak—"
Pushing open the door, there was only a crack left in the utility room window, and only the table, chairs, and an old wooden bed were left in the room.
In the corner, there was a figure curled up.
The maid was a little nervous.
She held Yu Zhizhi's wrist and said, "Miss Zhizhi, I heard that he bit his previous owner to death before he was sold to the Duke's Mansion."
After hearing this, Yu Zhizhi's pupils widened slightly.
"That…"
She thought for a moment and said, "I'll just put my things down and leave."
Just to make sure he's still alive.
Yu Zhizhi took the food box from the maid and slowly approached. The smell of rotting wood still lingered in the house.
At the innermost side of the wooden bed, the wild dog that had just been brought in had its neck and limbs tied with thick chains to restrict its movements.
Hear footsteps.
The brown ears on his head moved slightly, his body tensed, and his fangs gradually became exposed.
"I…"
Yu Zhizhi leaned against the wall and placed the food box next to the bed.
"I brought you some food, so remember to eat later. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me."
This voice...
He remembers.
I heard it when I was about to be beaten to death in the pavilion.
—It's her.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I've put the food down, and I'll come see you tomorrow."
Yu Zhizhi didn't stay for long.
She knew that the wild dog was badly injured, and when she got closer, the air was filled with the smell of blood mixed with the pungent ointment.
He probably just wants to be alone and not be disturbed.
After leaving.
The maid at the door held her chest with lingering fear.
"I was so scared. I was really afraid that he would suddenly pounce on me. Miss Zhizhi, are you really going to visit him tomorrow? In fact, you can leave small things like delivering food to the guards."
Yu Zhizhi smiled and said, "I hope he gets better."
The sound of their conversation was not loud, but some animals have keen hearing, such as wild dogs.
He heard every word of the conversation between the two.
After the female rabbit left.
He moved slightly and held the food box in one hand.
He has seen too many hypocritical orcs.
This one doesn't matter.
To heal his wounds, perhaps, is to destroy him again.
…
In the evening, the Duke returned home.
His personal servant bathed and changed his clothes for him.
The Duke was in the palace during the day, and he was always thinking about his little pet.
"What did she do today?"
The servant replied respectfully, "Master Bolan, Miss Zhizhi went to visit the rescued slaves after dinner this morning."
"How long?"
"Put the food box in and come out."
The servant recalled: "In the afternoon, I was led by the servant to visit many places in the palace. I met the patrolling guards."
Having said this, the servant paused, and he hesitated to speak.
After fastening his belt, the Duke walked barefoot on the cobblestones towards the library.
"What happened to the guard?"
The servant following the Duke could only tell the truth: "Miss Zhizhi had a very pleasant conversation with the captain of the guard. She treated him to a basket of lychees and gave each guard in the team a glass of iced lime tea."
"Oh?" The Duke came to the dining table, sat down, picked up the teacup, and asked with interest: "Which captain of the guard is it?"
"Captain of the Geo Guard."
The servant smiled and replied, "You are the young talent of the Snake Clan and promoted him to this position."
Geo? He remembered it was a green snake.
The Duke had a smile on his face. He spat the mouthwash into the exquisite porcelain held by the servant and rubbed the sharp teeth on his cheek with the tip of his tongue.
"Where is she?"
Servant: "We are waiting for Guard Captain Jeor to take over. According to the time, Guard Captain Jeor should have finished his shift and gone back to rest."
The smile on the Duke's lips was a little stiff.
Very good.
Wait until the other person gets off work.
Is he planning to go back to Guard Captain Geo's room for a more intimate contact?
"Go and tie this disobedient little pet back."
"yes."
In Yu Zhizhi's plan.
Find a male snake who is easy to talk to and find a way to complete the task.
—The humorous and talkative Captain Geo became her second choice.
We cultivated feelings for an entire afternoon.
Just as he was about to enter the house, the Duke's personal guard chained his hands and took him back.
Yu Zhizhi stepped into the study and closed the door behind her from the outside.
She didn't know what was going on.
Seeing the Duke at the table, he said happily: "You are back~"
Look, the little female still looks so innocent, as if she doesn't think she has done anything wrong.
The Duke was almost amused by her.
"From Geo?"
"Well…" Yu Zhizhi nodded: "Yes."
"Are you satisfied with him?"
Speaking of Jiao, Yu Zhizhi's eyes lit up: "He is very good, he can tell many interesting stories, and he sings very well too."
"…"
The Duke narrowed his golden vertical pupils slightly, and stared gloomily at the little female who was talking boastfully.
This is his little pet.
At this moment, he is bragging about the male green snake he met by chance.
Every word sounded particularly harsh.
Unable to bear it any longer, he interrupted her: "Yu Zhizhi."
This was the first time the Duke called her by her full name.
Yu Zhizhi was stunned: "...Yes."
"Have you forgotten everything I said last night?"
last night?
Yu Zhizhi thought back to last night, when they were talking about pregnancy.
The Duke rejected her.
And rejected her request to find other male snakes.
Seeing the little female's face change slightly, the Duke knew that she had remembered.
Yu Zhizhi's eyes dodged. She saw that the Duke had stood up and was walking towards her.
Instinctively stepped back.
With her back against the door, a tall figure came up to her and looked down at her.
In the dark night, the Duke's golden vertical pupils were particularly obvious.
His voice was charming like a spring night, but it was also dangerous: "Tell me, how should I punish you?"
"In the past, if a pet was disobedient, they would be beaten and locked up, saving them trouble and effort."
He pinched the cheek of the girl in front of him.
The soft face was forced to pout, and from this angle, it looked a bit cute and more like a rabbit.
Yu Zhizhi looked at him in a daze.
And the black snake that appeared on his shoulder...
The recommendation votes and monthly tickets cast by the Crab Crab babies~~
We are in the second round of PK, please vote and support, see you tomorrow! "What about you?"
The Duke leaned over, and the approach of his golden vertical pupils made Yu Zhizhi's body instantly stiffen.
This wasn't the first close encounter.
However, the Duke was much more indifferent tonight than usual.
Although there was still a smile on his face.
"How many lashes can your delicate skin withstand?"
Hiss—
As if to echo the Duke's words, the black snake on his shoulder spit out its tongue.
Yu Zhizhi raised her hands and gently held the Duke's wrists. There was a trace of panic and grievance in her clear eyes.
The little females of the rabbit tribe are used to using this innocent face to make people happy.
The Duke loosened his fingers slightly, allowing her to hold his palm and gently lean his cheek against it.
She blinked and said softly, "I'm hungry..."
The little female is acting coquettishly.
There was a hint of pity in his voice, and he tried to change the subject deliberately and awkwardly.
It seemed that this way he could forget what had just happened.
She should be punished.
The Duke felt the warmth of her cheek from his palm. His golden vertical pupils were deep and he stared at her trying her best to please him.
Yu Zhizhi gently held his cold palm, put her cheek against it, and rubbed it affectionately.
In the past, pets would be punished if they made mistakes.
—This was when the Duke was very patient.
Training means spending time.
And his time is valuable.
But when the little rabbit came up to him pitifully, the unhappy feeling in his heart gradually dissipated.
His fingers gently stroked the little female's face, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "After dinner, I will settle this account with you."
I won't let her off so easily.
If a pet is not taught well, it will become more and more troublesome in the future. When he loses his patience, the pet will not have a good ending.
The Duke withdrew his hand and walked towards the dining table in the other room.
Yu Zhizhi followed.
She was really hungry.
In the afternoon, she only ate a few lychees. She sat in a daze under the eaves of the corridor waiting for the guard captain Geo to change shifts.
Haven't eaten anything yet.
On the dining table, a candle lamp was burning quietly.
A table full of delicious food.
The color was hazy due to the candlelight.
The Duke sat down and looked at the little female following behind him: "Come here."
Yu Zhizhi walked up to him.
The next second, she was pulled into the Duke's arms and sat sideways on his lap.
Her cheek almost rubbed against the black snake on his shoulder. Yu Zhizhi's back immediately straightened and her body became stiff uncontrollably.
The Duke glanced at the black snake calmly.
The black snake slid swiftly along the other arm and disappeared into the darkness.
—The master's meaning is very clear.
Don't scare this little rabbit.
"I'm busy today and don't have time to feed you. Did you eat well?" The Duke put his arm around her waist, picked up a piece of cucumber with salad dressing on it with a fork, and brought it to her lips.
The little female ate slowly.
She nodded gently: "Yes."
Yu Zhizhi eats very full at every meal.
Tonight is a special case.
She was just wandering aimlessly in the Duke's Mansion when she saw the guards patrolling and learned from the maid that the young talent Geo was the captain of the guards.
I heard that he came to the Duke's Palace when he was sixteen years old, and in just three years, he became the captain of the guard and was deeply trusted by the Duke.
The most important thing is—
Not only is he extremely capable, he is also handsome and well-mannered, and there are many females in the Duke's Mansion who like him.
In Yu Zhizhi's mind, such a male snake could indeed be the second choice for the main mission.
after all…
The Duke's mind is elusive and too difficult to conquer.
With limited time, Yu Zhizhi had to complete the task as soon as possible. If she delayed it until the last few days and failed due to the time limit, she would simply fail.
After eating the cucumber, she saw the spoon handed to her by the Duke. She licked it gently and it tasted like glutinous rice porridge.
Yu Zhizhi likes to eat glutinous rice. A smile appeared on her face, and she held the spoon and swallowed the food into her mouth.
The female was very quiet while she ate.
—You eat what you feed.
The rabbit tribe's recipes have been handed over to the kitchen, which is working on making food that the little rabbits like to eat in different ways.
The Duke gazed down at the little female in his arms.
Under the candlelight, she ate with a focused expression, her eyelashes casting a shadow, her nose slightly tilted up, and she occasionally raised her eyes to steal a glance at herself. Her cheeks bulged slightly with food in them, and she chewed slowly. After finishing the porridge, she licked the remaining glutinous rice grains on the spoon.
Drink up a small bowl of porridge.
She raised her eyes to look at the Duke, with an expression that looked like she was asking for praise.
The female rabbit was a qualified pet, and he really liked her, except for her physiological needs which she herself could not control.
He put down the spoon and wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin.
"I don't have the habit of raising orcs."
"They're so dirty."
"Except for this matter, I can satisfy you in everything else."
...this matter?
Yu Zhizhi's brain froze for a moment.
The Duke drank his tea slowly and said, "Other pets can keep two to keep each other company, but not you. I only keep one."
Hmm.
Yu Zhizhi lowered her head. She was tired from eating and leaned weakly in his arms.
Seeing that the little rabbit looked listless, the Duke stroked her head gently.
The anger in my heart had long since dissipated.
In fact, it wasn't all her fault what happened today.
It is inevitable that pets will go into estrus.
Be careful no matter what you raise.
Smelling the sweet scent of the little female, he said softly: "Why not, I'll tell you two things that will interest you."
"What's the matter?" The rabbit ears moved curiously.
"Next week, people from the K family will come to visit the Duke's Mansion. They are the twin brothers. They seem to be very nice to you."
K Family—
The last time she saw them was on a high platform, two white wolves wearing vintage robes.
"Want to go back to the wolf den?" The Duke rubbed her rabbit ears gently.
"...No, I don't want to." Yu Zhizhi didn't hesitate too much.
This is what I really think.
She had originally planned to leave with Dracula.
Thinking of Dracula, he should have returned to Cangshan Territory, right? He had said before that he would come to find her one day.
"Is there another thing?" Yu Zhizhi asked.
The Duke said there were two things that would interest her.
As soon as she asked, she felt the hand on the rabbit ear slowly lift up. Five fingers inserted into her hair, gently stroking it down to the bottom.
Yu Zhizhi tilted her head slightly and felt his breath on her neck.
"There's news that the leader of Cangshan got an eagle cub."
"The cub had just hatched. If we calculate the time, it should have been in the Imperial City—"
"Then the question is, who is pregnant with this eagle cub?"
Yu Zhizhi: "…"
She said nothing.
Seeing that she was like a quail egg, the Duke understood everything.
The eagle risked its life to save her. Their relationship was extraordinary.
Unexpectedly, she even had a cub.
For a moment, the Duke didn't know what the heavy emotion in his heart was.
All he knew was that females had an estrus period every month.
"It seems that I have to find a way to satisfy you." Chapter 41 Please her.
The genes of orcs are more inclined towards beasts, and their words and deeds are affected.
Both males and females go through estrus.
If not dealt with, the female will think about mating every day.
If you don't watch her, she might run into the arms of another male and get sloppy. By then, her body will be covered with the smell of other males, and I don't know how long it will take to wash it off.
Given the Duke's picky nature, it would be difficult for such a small pet to stay by his couch.
So that my sense of smell would not be polluted, and also so that I could hold her in my arms while sleeping.
Duke Platinum made a decision.
Yu Zhizhi is still very confused.
She didn't understand what the Duke meant.
...satisfy her?
What does it satisfy?
"But..." The Duke changed his tone, with a hint of laughter in his voice: "You must punish first before you can reward."
There was a slight pain in the neck.
Yu Zhizhi frowned suddenly. She grabbed the dark purple robe of the man in front of her with both hands and felt his teeth gently biting her neck.
He didn't exert any force.
The female is delicate and soft, and if it is a little heavier, she might bleed profusely.
The itchy snake fang had not been sharpened for a long time, and when it came into contact with her delicate skin, it only embedded itself a little bit, not even piercing her skin.
The little rabbit whined and tried to struggle.
Said it was a punishment.
This is not a punishment at all.
He let go and licked the bite mark.
Yu Zhizhi's eyes turned red, and she felt like she was bullied and aggrieved.
He sneered: "Squeamish."
The little female was more delicate than any pet he had ever had.
I cry at the slightest provocation.
"You can't bear it just like this? What will you do next?" The Duke's voice was lazy. He gently wrapped one hand around the slender waist of the rabbit in his arms, and the other hand fell on her tailbone.
There, there is a furry rabbit tail.
The female rabbit's tail is a small round ball of fur that feels very soft.
He could easily hold it in his palm, and as his five fingers tightened slightly, he felt the soft body in his arms tremble suddenly.
"Hmm..." Yu Zhizhi bit her lip, leaned in the Duke's arms, and helplessly grasped his collar with both hands.
don't want…
Don't touch her tail...
The orc's tail is extremely sensitive, especially when it is deliberately stroked and teased. A slight numbness instantly spreads throughout the body.
Normally the Duke never touched it.
This is the first time.
Smelling the fragrance of the little female, it was slightly different from usual, with some special smell.
This smell will arouse the male's animal desire.
The Duke's golden pupils gradually took on a dark color, and he seemed to be smiling, and his voice sounded somewhat joyful.
"Are you ready?"
...Preparing for what?
Yu Zhizhi's brain was no longer able to work. She looked up in confusion and looked at the man's jaw in front of her.
"This Duke wants to reward you."
The hand that gently stroked the rabbit's tail slowly reached into her skirt.
She felt her whole body trembling.
Breathing also becomes rapid.
Yu Zhizhi's skin gradually turned red.
Such a clear touch...
Can't be stopped.
The Duke's movements were gentle and soft. His golden vertical pupils stared at her red face. Noticing the little female's dodge, he exerted a little force with his arms and easily held her in his arms.
"Don't hide."
"No matter what I give you, you must accept it with your heart and soul, and you are not allowed to refuse."
The strength of the fingers increased, bringing a hint of aggression.
The little pearl hidden in the softness was pinched hard.
Yu Zhizhi's legs were trembling.
With red eyes, she leaned in the Duke's arms, sniffed, and gently rubbed his shoulders and neck, silently trying to please him.
The Duke's movements became gentler.
His golden vertical pupils fell on the tip of the little rabbit's nose: "This is my first time serving a female, you must cherish it."
I would never do such a thing in the past.
Not to mention pets.
Even if she is the future Duchess, it is impossible.
But what is he doing now? He
is trying to please a pet in heat.
Although in the Duke's heart, females other than snakes were not worthy of mating with him, but he couldn't really leave this little female rabbit alone.
Helping her vent her desires was also a reward for her being obedient these days.
Yu Zhizhi leaned on the Duke's chest, trembling uncontrollably.
She heard the man chuckle in her ear: "After losing so much, is it so comfortable?"
"..." Yu Zhizhi closed her eyes tightly. She bit the man's clothes on his shoulders in silent protest.
On spring nights, the air in the study gradually becomes thinner.
There was a light, salty aroma at the tip of my nose, the scent of an aroused female was stronger than during the day.
The female rabbit's ears trembled slightly.
Yu Zhizhi bit harder, and through the clothes, one could feel her small rabbit teeth. She couldn't even tear the meat on the table, so she could only hold the Duke's wrinkled dark purple robe in her mouth.
As the surging feelings in her body fluctuated, her breathing became more and more rapid, and finally she couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
…She slowly opened her eyes, her pupils were misty, as if containing a pool of spring water.
after.
Yu Zhizhi hid herself in the quilt, curled up, and wrapped herself tightly without leaving any gaps.
Her cheeks were burning hot. Thinking about what had just happened, she didn't know how to face it, so she had to hide for the time being.
The little pet seemed to be angry with him.
He was in a very good mood now, without any signs, and felt that the happiness she could bring him was far beyond his imagination.
Yu Zhizhi felt the bed behind her collapse.
The next second, the Duke pulled her back into his arms along with the quilt.
The Duke coaxed, "Tomorrow, I will find you a better doctor to treat the slave you rescued."
...that wild dog.
His injuries were indeed too severe.
Yu Zhizhi buried her head in the quilt and said nothing.
The Duke continued:
"There are guests at home. Just in case, I will ask Guard Captain Geo to protect you in secret."
He can satisfy any wish of the little female.
but-
"You can be friends with him, but that's all."
"If I find out that you two have a more intimate contact, I won't let you off as easily as I did tonight next time."
"Did you hear that?"
Yu Zhizhi held the rabbit ears and said "oh" softly.
She still has no strength now.
When the Duke held her in his arms, her legs went weak.
Suddenly, the quilt was lifted.
A cool breeze blew in.
Yu Zhizhi's hot cheeks were exposed, along with her two rabbit ears, which drooped slightly, as if she was in a daze.
A man's low laugh came from behind: "Why, are you trying to suffocate yourself?"
—This stupid rabbit.
Holding her in his arms skillfully, the Duke found that he liked the feeling of sleeping with her more and more.
The frequency of the nightmares that have haunted him over the years has also decreased a lot.
When I hugged her, the empty space in my heart seemed to be filled.
If only I could keep her by my side.
Take it with you wherever you go.
You can hold her, touch her and tease her anytime and anywhere.
Or maybe.
Just like tonight.
Help her deal with her estrus desires.
Voting for the Crab Crab babies~See you tomorrow!
Something the Duke would never have done in the past.
If you break the rule once, there will be a second time, a third time...
If it was her, it seemed like he could accept it. He even began to look forward to it. How much more happiness could this little pet bring him?
Yu Zhizhi was a little depressed.
The main quest [Capture the Male Snake] encountered unprecedented obstacles, and the obstacle was the Duke.
Not only did he himself not want to, he also forbade her to come into contact with other male snakes.
—Then what should we do?
She remembered that she still had a bottle of [pheromone] in her inventory that she could use, but she didn't know if it would work on the Duke.
If she wanted to use it, she had to find the most appropriate time.
the next day.
When Yu Zhizhi woke up, the Duke had already left.
After washing up and having breakfast, she walked along the corridor towards the utility room.
Just as the Duke promised last night, a stronger doctor was invited and was applying medicine to the injured wild dog.
The servants standing outside the door saluted when they saw Yu Zhizhi.
"Good morning, Miss Zhizhi."
The maid who had taken her for a stroll yesterday was also there. She was a little hamster, with her little white ears hidden in her hair, only a little showing.
"The one who came this time is not an ordinary doctor, but a healer who has awakened the ability to heal!"
The hamster maid lowered her voice and whispered softly in Yu Zhizhi's ear.
In her opinion.
The Duke really cares too much about Miss Zhizhi, and even specially invited a healer to treat the slaves she rescued.
The servants never dared to dream of such treatment.
Yu Zhizhi waited quietly outside the door.
After a long time.
The doctor came out of the room, his face was sad.
The patient's condition is very bad. If he can't be cured, how can I explain to Master Bolan?
I saw a graceful female rabbit waiting at the door. The servants were very respectful to her. I thought she was also the young mistress of the Duke's Mansion.
The doctor saluted and said, "Miss, are you here to visit the patient in the room?"
"Yes." Yu Zhizhi asked with concern: "How is he?"
"Oh, his condition is very bad." The old doctor hesitated to speak.
He was a well-known healer in the Imperial City of Valoran, and had never encountered such a difficult situation.
"Miss, do you know that the [golden animal bone] on his back was taken away by someone?"
When Yu Zhizhi heard this, she looked slightly surprised.
When she was in the K family, she often went to the library, where she came across books about the beast world and heard about how important [Golden Beast Bones] were to male beastmen.
On the side, the hamster maid gasped.
The golden animal bone was pulled out!
What a cruel act!
On the Beast World, class distinctions are strict. For male orcs, the golden beast bones that carry spiritual power and talent are extremely important.
Without it, he would be disabled!
"The wounds on his body can be cured, and the scar on his face can be healed by applying medicine and slowly taking care of it. But the bone in his back is almost impossible to grow again. Only the [Bright Moon Priesthood] can 'cure' him."
"Haoyue Priesthood?" Yu Zhizhi heard this term for the first time.
The old doctor explained: "In the superpower column, if you awaken the talent called [Evolution], in time, you may grow into a capable Haoyue priest. It's more like evolution than healing."
The hamster maid nodded in agreement:
"Yes, in the entire Beast World, there are no more than three Bright Moon priests. In our Valoran Empire, there is not even one."
"Evolutionary talent..." Yu Zhizhi silently recited these four words.
She had an impression.
In his profile, both abilities were in gray and unlocked. Neither his mental strength nor his supernatural talent had awakened yet.
The hamster maid looked longing: "It would be great if I could get to know the [Bright Moon Priesthood]. Maybe, with their guidance, I can also evolve~"
"Don't we have it in our empire?" Yu Zhizhi also became interested.
The hamster maid shook her head: "No, the Valoran Empire began to gradually go downhill because of the lack of the Bright Moon priesthood..."
Suddenly, she covered her mouth. She couldn't say such things carelessly, especially in the Duke's Mansion!
If the news reaches the emperor's ears...
That would be terrible!
The old doctor said goodbye to them and the servants saw him off.
Yu Zhizhi picked up the lunch box and slowly walked into the house.
Just like what I saw yesterday, he was sitting alone in the corner of the wooden bed. He had changed into blue clothes, his hair was tied up, and there was a hideous and terrifying scar on his face.
His eyes were exceptionally beautiful, like the clear sea, pure blue and transparent.
Although his face is covered with scars, his handsome features can still be seen.
Still handsome.
It is the age between adolescence and young adulthood.
But…
Yu Zhizhi felt a little bit sorry when she thought about how his golden animal bones were being taken away alive.
—That must be very painful.
What's more, without the golden bones, the male orcs would lose any possibility of climbing up and would be slaves for life.
Smelling a familiar scent, he raised his eyes and stared at the female rabbit who came over. She was wearing a light pink gauze dress, with snowy skin and watery eyes, and she put the food box down very gently.
Yu Zhizhi didn't say much.
She stepped aside, hid behind a pillar, and watched him secretly.
The wild dog's physical condition seemed to be better than yesterday, at least he could sit up. He remained motionless, staring coldly at the food box.
Occasionally, I would glance at the hiding figure, and the other person would quickly hide his face behind a pillar and pretend not to exist.
...the childish rabbit tribe.
His body was healed by the healer and was pulled back from the abyss of death.
We should be grateful to this female rabbit.
What a pity.
He has seen many evil deeds by beasts.
There is no way to trust her any more.
The wild dog pulled the food box back to his side and ate in silence with his head down.
"What's your name?" Yu Zhizhi, who was hiding behind a pillar, asked curiously. She also introduced herself: "My name is Yu Zhizhi."
The wild dog ate the roasted meat on the plate without replying.
Just when Yu Zhizhi thought he would ignore her, he spoke hoarsely -
"Each of my masters has given me a name. You can give me a new one, too."
"What about your own name?"
"No."
He was born without a name.
His parents died, his golden animal bones were taken away, and he was abandoned by his tribe. He has been wandering ever since.
"Then I need to think about it carefully..."
Yu Zhizhi murmured softly: "Naming is a very important thing. It must have a good meaning and carry the blessing of the person who gave the name."
The wild dog laughed at himself.
Just a dog.
What good name can he ask for, and who will bless him?
"Safe." Yu Zhizhi's eyes lit up: "How about calling you safe?"
Two simple words, a simple wish.
The wild dog's body stiffened slightly.
A word of peace means a lifetime of peace.
"May you live a peaceful life~" Yu Zhizhi's voice was soft and crisp.
At the door, the hamster maid called softly, Chapter 43 Engagement.
—Old friend?
Yu Zhizhi's eyes flashed with confusion.
She remembered that the Duke said last night that people from the K family would come to visit, but that would be a week later.
If it wasn't the acting leader of the K family [Don Nard K] and his brother [Don Nard K], who else did he know?
Yu Zhizhi walked out from behind the pillar, adjusted her skirt, and walked outside.
When he left, he said to the wild dog, "Take good care of yourself. I'll come to see you tomorrow."
After returning to her residence, she changed into a more formal aristocratic dress. According to the Duke's instructions, the little pet needed to be dressed up beautifully before being taken out to meet people.
Led by the hamster maid, Yu Zhizhi went to the reception room.
The ancient buildings, under the sunlight, appear more mysterious and elegant. The simple tiles sparkle with golden light in the sun, and each bluestone slab is polished smooth like a mirror.
From a distance, you can see the golden trees in the courtyard, shining brightly.
Yu Zhizhi followed the maid into the yard, walked around the water corridor, and came to the reception room of the Duke's Mansion.
There are several bronze flower pots on both sides of the porch, planted with some exotic flowers and plants, exuding a faint fragrance.
Pushing open the door, a spacious hall is presented to you.
The floor is covered with a deep red carpet, and the vintage and precious wooden furniture is neatly arranged. The tea table is located next to the window sill, and the murals are carved with beautiful landscapes. Everything complements each other so well.
Yu Zhizhi stepped on the carpet and saw several figures standing in the reception room. The one sitting in the host seat, who had just returned from the palace, was the Duke of Platinum.
In the Valoran Empire, the Duke of Platinum has an extremely honorable status and he needs to deal with many government affairs every day.
Unlike the loose dark purple robe he often wore at home, the Duke today wore a dark blue noble dress with a medal on his shoulder that symbolized the honor of the Valoran Empire.
When he saw Yu Zhizhi, a hint of ambiguous smile flashed in his golden vertical pupils.
"Zhizhi, come and meet the distinguished guest from the Duke's Mansion."
Yu Zhizhi stepped forward.
Just by looking at the boy's back, I recognized him.
—It's the pride of the rabbit tribe, Noel.
I've seen him before at the K family's ancestral worship ceremony.
The young man turned around slowly and saw a familiar figure, his pupils slightly startled.
She is not...
Was she kidnapped by the Eagle Clan leader?
The girl walked slowly, lifted her skirt with both hands, and saluted gracefully. Her pretty face was even rosier than the last time she saw her, like a peach blossom in early spring, and she also exuded a faint fragrance, which was very suitable for the Duke's Mansion.
At that moment, Noel understood why the Duke had arranged a marriage between him and a female snake when they were in the palace.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he returned a gentleman's greeting: "Nice to meet you again, Miss Zhizhi."
Yu Zhizhi slowly walked to the Duke's side.
The man gently pulled the hair off her cheek and said in an ambiguous manner: "Did you sleep well?"
Yu Zhizhi's cheeks immediately turned red.
She lowered her head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "It's okay."
Black Rabbit Noel smiled at them, and the relationship between the two seemed very close. He was invited to the Duke's Mansion to stay for a while and cultivate his relationship with his fiancée from the snake clan.
He originally thought it would be boring, but after meeting Yu Zhizhi, he found it interesting.
"This is Noel from the Rabbit Tribe, whom you have met."
The Duke also watched the live broadcast.
The pleasing image of the rabbit tribe's talented male and S-level female standing together appeared in his mind, and the barrage of comments flew everywhere.
They are said to be a perfect match.
If a small pet wants a mate, it may consider a male rabbit first.
What a pity ~
there is no chance now.
The Duke had an obvious smile on his face: "His Majesty the King has granted a marriage to Mr. Noel. The Rabbit Tribe and the Snake Tribe are going to marry."
Yu Zhizhi blinked her eyes. What a coincidence.
I didn't expect to meet Noel again here.
Not being familiar with him made Yu Zhizhi feel more relaxed.
She smiled and unconsciously leaned towards the Duke.
"And his Majesty the King already knows about your matter." The Duke touched the little female's head lovingly.
"In order to prevent you from being kidnapped by criminals, you need to choose a husband as soon as possible. However, I have asked His Majesty the King to give you more time, so you can take your time to choose."
Yu Zhizhi was slightly stunned.
Did everyone know about her affairs in the Duke's Mansion?
The nobles of the Valoran Empire knew who the villain was in the Duke's words.
If the Eagle leader really snatches the S-level female Rabbit away, and gives birth to a bunch of eagle cubs in three years, and the cubs have higher talents, they will eventually become a major concern for the Valoran Empire.
Every S-rank female in the empire will be ceremoniously protected.
Never allow other empires to covet it.
The higher the female's rank, the more beastly husbands she has. In addition to reproducing offspring, she also needs more and stronger males to protect her.
Of course the Duke didn't want to hand over the little female rabbit just like that.
The pet he found with great difficulty.
I have to keep her by my side no matter what before I get tired of her.
So I found an excuse to delay it for three to five years, or even longer.
If he doesn't let go, the little female will have to stay in the Duke's Palace as a "guest of honor".
Behind his back, I still let him touch me and hug me.
It is his own little pet.
When one day he feels bored, he can choose a beastly husband for her who is excellent in every aspect. Before that, no one can possess her.
At the same time, Duke Platinum must also take responsibility for protecting her and not let other forces abduct her.
Led by his servants, Black Rabbit Noel went to meet his fiancée.
Yu Zhizhi watched him go away.
As she was watching, the person behind her suddenly bent down and hugged her.
Because there were outsiders present just now, the Duke had been restraining himself and did not make any more intimate moves.
He had only been away for one morning, but he already missed the smell of the little female. Yu Zhizhi leaned in his arms, still thinking about the main task.
Then I heard the Duke's lazy voice, floating in my ears: "Who are you going to choose as your beast husband?"
"…I have no idea."
"Don Locke is coming out soon, don't you miss him?"
The most gifted wolf cub of the K family in the past hundred years, and also the most valued war weapon of the empire. To Duke Bolan, Tang Luoke has a new identity—
The ex of the pet.
Yu Zhizhi's face turned pale when she thought of Tang Luoke.
During the few short days they spent together on the negative thirteenth floor, she thought every day that she would die in his arms.
This caused my legs to go weak at the thought of him.
I don't want to...
Couple with him.
However, now is not the time to think about this. Yu Zhizhi raised her head, looked at the man behind her, and asked softly, "Are you coming back for dinner tonight?"
She had to find a way to complete the main story first.
I have to take out the remaining bottle of [Pheromone that drives male orcs crazy]...
Now, the most important thing is to capture Snake.
The rest have to go to the back.
It seemed that the little female really had no extra thoughts about the wolf cub, and seemed to only care about whether she would come back tonight.
The Duke's mouth curled up slightly.
He admitted that he was very happy.
—Because of the "attachment" to the little pet.
"Of course I'll come back." He rubbed the little rabbit's head: "Wait for me obediently."
Recommendation votes, monthly votes, and Xiaoxiang votes from Xie Xie Baby Mengtou~ Muah! See you tomorrow!
Chapter 44 A pool of spring water.
Yu Zhizhi went back to where she lived, soaked in the bathtub alone, and opened the system inventory.
The more special props are [Pheromone that drives males crazy x1] and [Eavesdropping Card x1].
There is also the [Perfect Concealing Breath Elixir]. I used it more when I was in the K Family, and there are 5 left now.
The rest are [a foundation] that has not been unlocked and [a pet egg] that has not been hatched.
Currently, she is at level 2, and she needs 1,500 points to upgrade to the next level. The way to get it is to complete the main quests, and some side quests will also reward extra points.
Yu Zhizhi took a look at her personal information.
【Name: Yu Zhizhi.】
[Race: Rabbit (Adult)]
[Spiritual power: not awakened]
[Super Talent: Unawakened]
【Fertility: Top】
[Number of times: 2]
【Overall rating: S】
The two abilities, mental power and supernatural talent, are still in a gray and unlocked state.
Yu Zhizhi thought about the [Evolutionary Talent] that the old doctor and the hamster maid had talked about during the day, and felt a little yearning in her heart.
If only I could awaken my evolutionary talent...
If not, other talents are also very good. I heard that there are extremely strong orcs who have awakened two talents.
However, the awakening of mental strength and supernatural talents is the track for males.
Their class divisions are closely tied to these two, and the class system is very cruel.
The vast majority of females will not awaken supernatural talents.
The mental strength of females is basically between 1 and 50, which makes it convenient to switch back and forth between animal and human forms.
Yu Zhizhi still remembers that Miss Nana of the Black Panther clan had awakened 20 points of mental strength and the superpower of [sleeping for three days].
Compared with other talents, this superpower seems mediocre.
The Beast World has developed a special medicine for sleeping—
Full name: [Potion that requires only one hour of sleep per day]
The kings of rolls can also achieve this effect by taking medicine.
In the information panel, females care most about [fertility], which accounts for 70% of the female score.
As for [Number], it should refer to the number of times a female has given birth. The more times, the more points are added, and the greater the probability of advancement.
She opened the taskbar.
The golden main quest [Capture the Male Snake] and the white side quest [Save the Wild Dogs] are both displayed as [In Progress].
Yu Zhizhi leaned against the pool, her body slightly flushed and her cheeks rosy. She took out [Pheromone] from the inventory, hesitated for a moment, and drank it all in one breath.
The round stone pool is very large, and the surface of the water is sprinkled with faint blue petals.
When she went into the pool, she was wearing a white skirt, which was also completely soaked by water.
She leaned slowly against the pool, twisting a petal in her hand, quietly waiting for the Duke to arrive.
...Should I be able to seduce her successfully today?
The pheromones have been arranged.
Only once is needed.
There is a high probability that you can get pregnant with snake cubs.
The Duke might be "angry"? Feeling tempted by his pet?
That's fine.
Anyway, she will stay away from others after she gets pregnant with snake cubs.
Once the mission is completed, she will have to find a way to leave the Duke's Mansion. She can't always be the Duke's pet, nor can she hastily choose a beastly husband to marry.
Then... I can only avoid it temporarily.
Thinking about the mission in her mind, Yu Zhizhi's body slowly moved downwards with her nose buried in the water.
Gurgle…Gurgle…
The bubbles spread out in all directions.
The water temperature in the pool is just right, slightly hot, making people reluctant to leave.
The pheromone you drink is effective for 24 hours.
Yu Zhizhi felt her body temperature slowly rising, and she didn't know if it was because of the bath or the pheromones.
Outside the study door.
Black Rabbit Noel, who was waiting for the Duke, frowned slightly. He looked up at the closed door and could vaguely smell a female rabbit...
The smell of estrus.
Noel turned his back. He was familiar with this smell, as he often encountered it in Green Field City. But this time was different. He felt the blood in his body stirring.
As a member of the same tribe, Noel is more sensitive to this smell than any other male.
The boy's sleepy eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, and the sweat on his forehead gradually became obvious. His face became paler and the strong desire appeared in his eyes...
Noel took out a syringe with trembling hands and stabbed his arm hard.
"Hmm—"
A suppressed groan.
The green juice flowed down the syringe and deep into the skin.
The mist in the boy's eyes slowly dissipated.
His black pearl-like eyes were rarely sleepy, and his moist gaze fell on the door, as if he could see the little female rabbit living inside.
Noel didn't expect that the calming potion would be used at this time.
He pulled out the syringe, and a trace of blood slowly coagulated.
He leaned against the wall and took a long breath.
At that moment, the sadistic desire in my heart was about to burst out—
The scent of the female rabbit was so alluring that I could hardly control myself even though there was a door between us.
Just like he dismembered the insects he caught as a child, he also wanted to destroy this pure, clear and beautiful little rabbit.
He walked slowly out of the yard.
The servant followed.
"Lord Noel, aren't we waiting for the Duke?"
"I'm sleepy."
…
It was already late at night when Duke Bolan returned after handling government affairs.
Ever since the little pet came, he seldom returned to his dormitory. Most of the time, he stayed in this yard planted with blue lotuses.
The moonlight is sparse.
He pushed open the door and smelled the faint scent of jasmine milk in the air.
It's the smell of a small pet.
It just seems sweeter and stickier than usual.
He walked along the pebbles in the backyard and came to the bathing pool surrounded by swaying bamboos. In the round pool, a delicate figure was soaking.
In the misty water, a little female rabbit with skin as white as jade and face as beautiful as an elf leaned against the edge of the pool, her snow-white gauze skirt soaked by water clung to her body, her curves were hazy. Her wet long hair fell behind her, her clear eyes were like those of a newborn deer, but they also hid a hint of nervousness that was difficult to conceal.
Yu Zhizhi finally waited for the Duke.
The tall man, wearing a dark purple robe, stood by the pool, looking down at her.
There was a faint smile with ambiguous meaning in his golden vertical pupils. After seeing her, he did not say anything, but instead observed her every move with great interest.
The Duke wanted to know what his little pet wanted to do.
The entire outdoor bathroom was filled with the scent of jasmine milk. As cold-blooded snakes, they rarely had any desire other than appetite for the rabbits with soft fur.
Yu Zhizhi had been soaking in hot water for a long time, her cheeks burning. She raised her misty eyes and murmured, "Master Bolan, can you pick me up? I seem to have no strength left."
The little pet called his name for the first time.
Duke Platinum walked to the edge of the pool, squatted on one knee, saw the girl with her elbows resting on the stone, and reached out to slowly stroke her cherry lips.
"certainly."
Chapter 2 will be updated at 7pm!
(End of this chapter) Chapter 45: Lure the Snake!
The girl's face becomes more beautiful because of the mist.
Purity yet lustful.
The scent of jasmine mixed with a hint of milk filled his nose, and the air was filled with charming mist. The Duke easily rescued the girl from the pool.
She curled up in his chest like a kitten drenched in the rain.
The long wet hair was dripping water.
The slightly curled round and cute toes, the breath Yu Zhizhi exhaled gently, blended into the mist. The watery eyes flickered, alluring.
The Duke walked on the distinct pebbles and carried the little female back to the house along the way.
Sitting beside the bed.
Use a towel to wipe the little female's long hair, and her curved rabbit ears tremble slightly twice under the wiping of the towel.
Yu Zhizhi bit her lip nervously, glancing at the man in front of her from time to time—
[Pheromones should be useful, right?]
She thought to herself.
To prevent her from catching a cold, the Duke spread out his hands, and the heat slowly emanated from his palms...
Duke Platinum's supernatural talent seems to be related to "clouds".
Yu Zhizhi has never seen it.
Stunned for a moment.
Fine steam slowly lingered around her, and her wet rabbit ears gradually dried up, returning to their snow-white and soft appearance.
Hmm—
The point is not drying.
Yu Zhizhi leaned in his arms and rubbed him gently. She found that the other party stopped moving. She looked up and stared at his golden vertical pupils, his strong nose bridge, and his thin lips.
As if she had mustered up her courage, she propped up her hands, raised her upper body and kissed him—
This was the first time she took the initiative to kiss a man.
The Duke had a faint scent of tobacco and mint on his body. His golden vertical pupils were slightly startled, and he felt the restless little female in front of him actually kissed him.
Their lips touched gently, but at this point, the other party didn't know what to do.
Yu Zhizhi could only clumsily try a light kiss...
What then?
What should she do next?
She was a little anxious.
Duke Bolan seemed unmoved, with a look of surprise in his eyes, but soon, he lowered his eyes, as if thinking about something. He even lazily stroked her back, wondering what else this little pet could do to surprise him.
—This stupid rabbit.
She can't even seduce a man.
He admitted that her scent was particularly strong and fascinating today. However, snakes are cold-blooded animals, and they would not have any thoughts about mating except during the estrus period.
Yu Zhizhi kissed him for a while and found that the Duke had no reaction.
Her face was ripe.
I lowered my head, feeling completely defeated.
With his forehead resting on the Duke's shoulder, it seemed that he had gained nothing today.
"Is that all?" The Duke's lazy voice was a little bewitching, "I was almost moved—"
real?
Yu Zhizhi suddenly raised her head and stared into the Duke's snake eyes.
When she noticed the smile in his eyes, she realized that he had teased her. She felt a little annoyed and aggrieved. She pursed her lips and tears began to well up in her eyes.
The little pet is about to cry.
The smile on the Duke's face froze slightly. This little female he raised was good in every way except that she loved to cry and couldn't stand being teased.
He hugged her gently and comforted her patiently: "Dear, I was just joking with you."
He stroked her rabbit ears and murmured, "Didn't we just deal with it last night? How come she's in heat again?"
—There is no estrus period.
Yu Zhizhi has never felt the constraints brought by the estrus period.
Maybe later.
But she was 100% sure that it was not the estrus season!
It turns out that raising rabbits is such a troublesome thing.
The Duke held her soft body in his arms, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out a small crystal carrot.
Transparent color, looks pure and clean.
Huh?
Why did he suddenly take something out? Yu Zhizhi looked at him in confusion.
"What is this?" she asked.
The Duke smiled: "Here's something to eat for you."
Yu Zhizhi's eyes widened: "Ah?"
She reached out and touched it; it felt cool and smooth, like glass.
This is not food, how can I eat it?
The Duke stared at the little female in his arms with his golden pupils. He said seriously, "I will eat them all."
"Hmm—"
Yu Zhizhi bit the back of her hand, she leaned on the Duke's chest, and a thin layer of sweat gradually appeared on her body.
The cool touch was extremely clear, bringing about waves of numbness.
The Duke's movements were very gentle.
His eyes were dim, as if tainted with lust.
The corners of Yu Zhizhi's eyes gradually turned red. Thinking about the failure of today's attack, she started to cry in grievance.
...a troublesome little female rabbit.
The Duke lowered his head and licked the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Just like last time, she would cry when she was moved. She would cry when the tide receded. Her eyes were always red, and her body was covered with a light blush, like a cream cake coated with a thin layer of strawberry jam.
Yu Zhizhi cried very sadly.
She clutched the Duke's robe tightly, feeling the coldness of it, and there was a hint of hidden joy in her crying voice.
Seeing her crying pitifully, the Duke held the back of her neck and pressed her towards himself.
He kissed her gently.
Occasionally, it's okay to kiss your pet.
Just think of it as a comfort.
Duke Platinum kissed her lips gently and pecked her lightly. Her crying gradually turned into a tremor. She opened her misty eyes and looked into the man's deep eyes in front of her with a hint of lazy tenderness.
As if being caressed by its owner, the little pet forgot to cry and just stared at him.
The Duke hugged her affectionately and kissed her bunny ears.
—That's great.
She just sat so obediently in his arms, and he held her in his arms, day and night.
Although the estrus period is a bit troublesome.
But no matter how many times, he was willing to handle it for her.
Yu Zhizhi didn't remember when she fell asleep.
I was completely exhausted and had no strength left in my body. The Duke held me in his arms and laid me on the bed. I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow.
When I woke up, I was in the Duke's arms.
He hugged the pet in front of him tightly, and his pale face was covered with sweat.
Yu Zhizhi looked at him in a daze.
Gradually, the Duke woke up. He saw the first rays of morning light shining in through the window, and his pet Shui Ling staring intently into his eyes, and he felt very relieved.
He bent down and kissed her bunny ears.
"Good morning." The man's voice was hoarse and seductive.
"...Good morning." Yu Zhizhi felt a little embarrassed when she thought about what happened last night. She lowered her head and wanted to hide her rabbit ears.
And no one knew where he threw the crystal product that had become wet and sticky.
Woo…
After he goes to the palace, she will find it and throw it away!
"I will be busy these few days and will be back very late every day. You don't have to wait for me for dinner or sleep." The Duke specifically instructed.
"oh…"
Yu Zhizhi rubbed the corners of her eyes. She looked up and saw the Duke stand up. His pillow was soaked with sweat.
"you…"
She was a little worried: "Are you having a nightmare?"
"Um."
"Can I use medicinal food to treat it?"
Sometimes, I could feel his pain in the middle of the night.
"It's no use. This is an old disease."
The lingering nightmare that had haunted him since he was a child accompanied him every night.
Waking up countless times.
"Then... you can also try to speak it out. I heard that if you tell your nightmares out loud, they will gradually get better." Yu Zhizhi said softly.
Received a message from the promotion station! Thank you for your support! See you tomorrow at 12 noon~
Please vote! Please read on!
(End of this chapter) "Who said that?" This was the first time Duke Bolan heard such an excuse.
Yu Zhizhi said seriously: "My mother told me."
When she was young, she would crawl into her mother's arms in fear when she had nightmares. Every time, her mother would gently comfort her.
She would tell her mother about her nightmares, and it seemed that she felt less scared after she told them.
Yu Zhizhi also sat up, clutching the quilt against her chest with both hands.
"If you want to talk, you can tell me. I'm willing to listen to your nightmares."
The Duke's body stiffened slightly.
He never thought that the little pet would say such a thing...
Warm words.
Unlike those unintelligent pets that cannot speak human language, only she would say such words.
She was the only one who would ignore his status as a duke.
Dare to speak your mind.
He did not wear the uniform for going to the palace today, but changed into a luxurious dark purple robe. Walking barefoot on the mahogany floor, he walked to the chopping board, sat down, and picked up the slender pipe from the shelf.
Through the screen.
Some words...
It might be easier to say it out loud.
"When I was a kid, if I made a mistake, I would be locked in an airtight box and sunk into the water. Deep in the middle of the lake, I couldn't hear anything. It was a small, claustrophobic space, and I was the only one there. No matter if I spoke or admitted my mistakes, no one would pay attention to me."
Yu Zhizhi listened quietly.
What a small box.
It was so dark, and it was sunk to the bottom of the lake, cutting off all contact with the outside world.
The smoke gradually rose.
Bolan leaned against the soft chair, holding a slender silver pipe in her right hand. The tobacco was burning quietly in the lotus carved on the top.
When he talked about the past, there was no significant fluctuation in his golden vertical pupils.
To him, those things seemed like things from a previous life.
As the only son of the old duke, he could not have any injuries on his body, and the punishment he received was confinement in deep water day after day.
He curled up in a small, cramped box, holding tightly in his arms the gift his mother had given him when he was born.
A white stuffed teddy bear.
Platinum craves all touches.
I always want to hug something furry.
To this end, he has kept many pets.
It seemed that he could only feel a moment of peace when he was holding his pet.
But those pets were not to his liking.
They are livestock after all.
Not understanding human nature.
Until, this female rabbit was abducted back—
Bolan took a puff of his cigarette and looked at the screen. Behind him was the little female sitting on the bed, listening attentively to his nightmare.
His most satisfying pet to date.
Although its spiritual power has not yet awakened and it cannot transform into an animal, it is more suitable to be held in his arms than any furry creature he has raised before.
Just, I cry a little.
The estrus period is also a bit troublesome.
These were minor problems compared to the pleasure she could bring herself.
"Someone come here." he called.
The door of the study opened and several maids walked in.
"Help Miss Zhizhi wash and eat."
"Yes, Master Bolan."
The Duke put down his pipe.
He stood up.
He picked up his robe, put it on, and walked away.
During the few days that Yu Zhizhi lived in the Duke's Mansion, she gradually got used to the rhythm of the place. Unlike the K family, the secluded courtyard where she lived was rarely disturbed by anyone.
The entire mansion is as lazy as its owner. The bamboo shadows in the backyard are dim, and even the sunlight can hardly come in.
After breakfast, Yu Zhizhi came to the desk and looked at the scroll spread out on it, with the calligraphy written in neat and sloppy brush strokes.
Next to him was the long and thin pipe he often used.
Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but touch it. It had a smooth, cool silver long stem, with a lotus-shaped pipe on top, and a little bit of ash in it. The mouthpiece was golden, as if it was made of gold.
The Duke often smoked a cigarette while reviewing documents in his study.
It has his scent on it.
Yu Zhizhi thought about the "nightmares" he had mentioned before, all of which were things he had experienced personally when he was very young.
The Duke always had an unfathomable smile on his face.
Even today, I couldn't hear the emotion in his words.
Thinking of the strategy mission...
Yu Zhizhi's rabbit ears drooped down, and she suddenly became weak.
Every time I tried to capture Duke Platinum, not only did I fail, but he would also tease me in various ways...
[How long will it take?]
She couldn't help but ask in her heart.
[System: There are nineteen days left until the mission is completed.]
Yu Zhizhi was like a deflated ball: "If I had known that pheromones were useless to him, I would have saved them for other snakes."
[System: Snakes are cold-blooded animals, and are relatively slow to sense the pheromones of other species during their estrus period. However, it is sufficient in most cases.]
"Then why is Duke Platinum not affected?" Yu Zhizhi was stunned.
He was perfectly rational yesterday.
The golden vertical pupils were as clear as usual.
He was sober and calm, unilaterally...
Play with yourself.
Ugh!
Yu Zhizhi pressed her forehead against the chopping board, refusing to lift it up.
[System: Please explore on your own. ]
There are many things that the system will not reveal, even if you ask, it will not tell you. Most of the things that can be told are related to the task.
Yu Zhizhi suddenly remembered something: "So, what about favorability? How much does Duke Bolan like me now?"
Simple and crude pheromones are not useful. There is always a chance to get pregnant with a snake baby by increasing the favorability, right?
[System: Name: Bolan, Race: Snake (Adult), Favorability: 12, Note: "It is a favorable impression of the pet." Please keep up the good work, host.]
Yu Zhizhi: "…"
Only nineteen days left.
But the favorability is only this little bit.
Then we have to change the snake.
Previously, the guard captain of Geo, whom she had "taken a fancy to", had been avoiding her for the past two days. In short, she had not met him since the last incident.
The Duke of Platinum also said that he could be friends with him.
There was not even a shadow of a snake, and there was no chance of any close contact.
"guest!"
Yu Zhizhi's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Aren't we going to entertain guests? There will definitely be other male snakes visiting that day, right?"
In addition to the K family, there should be other families.
It seems that she needs to find Teacher Dai Li to find out what happened on the day of the dinner.
Teacher Dai Li, who was watering the flowers, adjusted her glasses when she heard the female rabbit's question.
"Miss Zhizhi, there are many distinguished guests coming to the dinner, including our snake tribe. Do you know Earl Grey? Last time, he came to visit the mansion and met you at the door of the study."
"Hmm…" Yu Zhizhi thought about it and nodded: "Now I remember, I did meet a young man in a white uniform that day."
"He is Lord Grey."
When Teacher Dai Li mentioned this, her face was filled with pride.
"To be honest, he is a talented person of our White Snake Clan and is highly appreciated by His Excellency the Duke and His Majesty the King."
"He is gentle, modest, and extremely talented—"
"I traveled around the mountains and rivers two years ago and published a book on geography and customs, "Between Mountains, Waters and Fog," which became a bestseller in the Valoran Empire."
"Earl Grey is a best-selling author who is loved and admired by many orcs."
It feels good!
Yu Zhizhi asked softly: "When will he come to the Duke's Mansion?"
Teacher Dai Li: "For the marriage, he has already arrived and is living in the villa."
Seeing Yu Zhizhi was a little confused, Dai Li smiled and said, "Miss Zhizhi, you may not know yet, but the one who is going to marry Lord Noel of the Rabbit Clan is the lady of the White Snake Clan, and also the younger sister of Earl Grey - Nicole."
"...I want to meet them."
"Please follow me."
There is another chapter at 7pm~ Chapter 47 Ambiguity.
Dai Li is responsible for all of Yu Zhizhi's trivial matters in the Duke's Mansion.
Her position is similar to that of a housekeeper, but more like a teacher, and she gives regular lessons to the young masters and young ladies of the Duke's Mansion.
He is highly respected in the mansion.
All the way to the villa.
From a distance, the scenery is beautiful. There are large lotuses planted in the lake. Different from the blue lotus in the book house, the lotus here is snow-white and pleasing to the eye.
Walk through the corridor.
From afar, I could hear laughter like silver bells.
A girl in a pink dress stood on the flower stand, holding a paintbrush and a colorful palette in her hands.
Next to her was a sofa chair.
Miss Mu Mu from the snake clan was holding flowers in her hands and posing in a fixed posture, acting as her model.
When she saw the female rabbit coming, a smile flashed across her brown vertical pupils.
"Ms. Zhizhi." She took the initiative to greet him: "Are you here to visit Nicole too?"
The news that Miss Nicole of the Snake Clan was going to marry Lord Noel of the Rabbit Clan had spread throughout the Valoran Empire. All the orcs thought that this was a very good marriage.
I heard that it was the Duke who personally arranged the marriage, and His Majesty the King granted it in public.
Everyone in Green City was overjoyed, and they were ready to welcome the bride from the Snake Tribe.
"Ms. Mumu." Yu Zhizhi returned the greeting.
She looked at the girl in front of the drawing board. Her amber eyes were particularly beautiful, and she was staring at her with interest.
"It's you." Nicole recognized her at a glance.
In the previous live broadcast, I have seen this newly advanced S-level rabbit female. She was originally a guest of honor of the K family, and now she has been invited by the Duke to live in the mansion.
Mu Mu had said before that the Duke was special to her.
Nicole was a little curious—
I don't know what this special method is?
Nicole, who was drawing, was completely attracted by this female rabbit.
She saw the rabbit ears on Yu Zhizhi's head and wanted to touch them, but her hands were covered in paint and she would get them dirty.
Nicole resisted the urge, a sly look flashed across her amber pupils:
"Ms. Zhizhi, when you are free, please come to the Garden to play with me more often. I am painting for Miss Mumu now, if you like, I can also paint for you alone later."
"Okay~"
Yu Zhizhi agreed immediately.
She could feel Nicole's enthusiasm and kindness.
Yu Zhizhi usually doesn't have much to do in the Duke's Mansion, so it's nice to meet some friends.
Mu Mu on the side was quite dissatisfied:
"Ms. Zhizhi, why do you avoid me every time you see me? I have invited you several times, but you are unwilling to spend dinner with me?"
"It just so happened that something happened during those few days..." Yu Zhizhi felt a little guilty.
Nicole made a playful face: "Of course it's because Mumu is usually too fierce, unlike me, who is always so considerate."
"Divine Gold~" Mu Mu, a snake holding flowers, struck a better pose, his brown vertical pupils full of smiles.
Yu Zhizhi's attention was focused on the room. She could see a figure who was preparatory to writing a book.
Nicole, who was painting, saw this and said with a smile:
"My brother is in there, if you want to say hello to him, go ahead~"
"but-"
"He is writing a new book now and doesn't like to be disturbed. I suggest Miss Zhizhi wait until the sun sets before going in."
Ever since her brother, Earl Grey, wrote the book "Between Mountains, Waters and Mists", countless orcs have come to his door every day to ask for his autograph.
Now that I have arrived at the Dukedom, in just a few days, many book fans have come to visit me.
Nicole Weiwei, this rabbit lady is also a fan of the book.
With an excuse, Yu Zhizhi felt a little relieved.
She nodded.
"Then I will wait until evening and then visit Earl Grey."
"That's perfect!" Miss Mumu waved: "Zhizhi, come and be a model with me!"
Three girls of similar age played together until the sun went down.
Yu Zhizhi did not forget the main purpose of her visit.
She walked slowly into the house.
Gray, who was holding a pen and writing, heard footsteps and thought it was the accompanying servants.
He asked, "Is the rose cake ready?"
"Ahem..." Yu Zhizhi said softly, "I passed by Villa today and wanted to come and pay a visit to Miss Nicole and Earl Grey."
A clear and sweet voice was heard, and the Count paused slightly in holding the pen.
He looked up.
Beside the desk stood a petite figure. She was wearing a simple white gauze dress, with skin as white as jade and eyes as bright as stars. She had a pure and lovely temperament. Upon closer inspection, she looked a little familiar.
...Where have you seen me before?
"May I ask your name, young lady?"
"Yu Zhizhi."
It's her!
Lord Grey remembered.
He had seen her at the door of the Duke's study, and the rabbit lady almost fell into his arms.
Putting down the pen, he stood up and returned the greeting: "Miss Zhizhi, you are welcome."
Gray had heard a little about this female of the rabbit tribe.
When they first met, he just watched from afar as she gave blessings to the cubs. Later, he was deeply impressed by the glimpse of her in the book house.
Yu Zhizhi looked at the books on the table. He seemed to be writing a new article.
In order to ease her inner uneasiness, she whispered, "I...I wanted to get Earl Grey's autograph, but I forgot to bring the book."
"It doesn't matter."
Gray showed a gentle smile on his face: "I have many books here, I can give one to Miss Zhizhi."
The young man from the snake tribe was also wearing a white uniform today, and his amber vertical pupils looked as soft as water.
Non-aggressive.
It's completely different from the feeling the Duke gives.
"Hold on."
After saying that, he turned and walked to the bookshelf and took out a brand new copy of "Mountains, Waters and Mists".
He wrote his name and his blessings to Yu Zhizhi with a black pen, stroke by stroke.
Gray walked up to her.
Present the book solemnly with both hands.
The scent of the female rabbit had been filling his nose since she entered the room.
At this moment, I couldn't help laughing when I saw a trace of paint on her bunny ears.
Yu Zhizhi took the book.
I saw the young man in front of me quickly hand over a clean handkerchief.
The smile in his amber pupils was like the warm spring sun, refreshing to the heart.
"Here." Gray pointed at the air above his head. "There's some paint on the ear."
"Oh..." Yu Zhizhi hurriedly used a handkerchief to wipe it, but it was not convenient to hold the book with one hand, and she could not find the right position.
Gray reached out and took the handkerchief from her hand: "Let me do it."
Under the fragmented sunset, he lowered his head and carefully wiped the red paint on the rabbit's ears with the handkerchief in his hand.
Yu Zhizhi held the book in both hands, motionless.
Earl Grey...
He is gentle and has a mellow voice. It is very comfortable to get along with him.
Maybe the hand that was wiping the rabbit ears was too gentle, but Yu Zhizhi unconsciously leaned towards him.
Watching from afar, they looked like lovers, hugging each other sweetly.
At the door, Nicole, who was packing up paint, opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at this ambiguous scene in disbelief.
Until, the voice of Teacher Dai Li rang in my ears—
"Your Excellency the Duke."
Thank you for your votes, my dears~ See you tomorrow!
Chapter 48: Jealousy.
It's unknown when Duke Bolan arrived at the villa. When Teacher Dai Li found him, he was already standing in the shadow of the corridor, staring at the scene happening inside the open door.
Inside the door.
The little female rabbit had her back to the outside and lowered her head obediently, allowing the male in front of her to gently wipe her ears with a handkerchief.
The young man wiped every time with extreme care and attention.
The girl almost leaned in his arms.
The two of them looked particularly intimate and ambiguous. When the young man lowered his eyes to look at her, there was a warm smile in his eyes.
—It was the first time that Nicole saw her brother being so close to a female.
She stopped packing up her drawing board and remained motionless for a long while.
"Huh?" The wolf Mu Mu couldn't help but look back in the direction Nicole was looking. When he saw the situation inside the house, his eyes suddenly widened.
Daly is closest to the Duke.
She no longer cared about what was happening in the house.
All she knew was that Lady Bolan was in a very low mood and she didn't dare to raise her head at all.
The Duke stared at the two sweet figures in the room, his jawline tense and waves surging in his golden pupils. He was trying his best to suppress something.
"Okay." Lord Grey let go of her hand, still with a gentle smile on his face: "My little sister is naughty, I hope Miss Zhizhi won't bother with her."
Yu Zhizhi raised her hand and touched her rabbit ears. She shook her head gently: "Miss Nicole is very good. I like playing with her."
She didn't care about getting stained with paint.
Just go back and take a shower~
The young man from the snake tribe raised his eyes and saw the two females standing outside the door in a daze, and—
A figure has been standing in the corridor for a long time.
Earl Grey took two steps to the side and saluted solemnly: "Your Excellency the Duke."
Duke?
Hearing this title, Yu Zhizhi trembled instinctively.
She stepped aside feeling a little guilty and turned her head cautiously to look at the man walking towards her.
I just said goodbye to him this morning.
After not seeing him for a day, the aura around him became much more unfamiliar and cold.
Duke Bolan came into the room, with a faint smile on his face, and his voice was as lazy as usual: "I have some official business to discuss with Earl Grey."
As he spoke, he glanced at the little female with drooping ears next to him and said, "I am not disturbing you two, am I?"
Earl Grey was stunned for a moment, and he quickly replied,
"Your Excellency the Duke misunderstood. Miss Zhizhi had some paint on her ears, and I just wanted to wipe it off for her."
"My actions were indeed a little abrupt. I hope Miss Zhizhi can forgive me."
Earl Grey looked at Yu Zhizhi with an apologetic look on his face.
The Duke said calmly: "Your Highness, you don't have to apologize. Maybe she doesn't care."
—Not only do I not care, I may actually like her in my heart.
"Uh." Yu Zhizhi followed the Duke's words, "Yes, Lord Gray, you don't have to apologize~"
The Duke glanced at her coldly.
Yu Zhizhi shrank her neck.
What's the matter?
Isn't she agreeing with the Duke? Why is the way he looks at her even more terrifying than at the beginning?
Nicole and Mu Mu from the snake tribe also came to pay their respects to the Duke.
They want to discuss official business.
Nicole quietly pulled Yu Zhizhi out.
Mu Mu was secretly laughing on the side. She was just watching the fun and didn't mind the trouble.
Lord Duke is the highest-ranking male orc of the snake clan. Mu Mu has never seen such an expression on his face before. He almost wanted to pierce the scene in the room with his eyes.
Thinking about the "pet" thing, Mu Mu felt that in the Duke's heart, this female rabbit must be an extremely special existence.
She was even allowed to keep a male lover.
Of course, Mu Mu also heard that the wild dog was just locked up in the utility room next to the yard. Perhaps Miss Zhizhi just felt sorry for him and treated him as a slave.
No matter what, Mu Mu felt that the Duke was particularly patient with this little female rabbit.
It's different from other orcs.
Even though they were both members of the snake clan, he would not have such an attitude.
The door of the room was wide open, and the Duke could be seen sitting at his desk, with Earl Grey standing respectfully opposite him.
I don't know what they are talking about.
Miss Mu Mu of the snake clan has left, and Nicole is tired from playing and goes back to the house to rest.
Dai Li sat on the sofa with Yu Zhizhi, waiting quietly.
Just when Yu Zhizhi was about to fall asleep, she heard Teacher Dai Li calling softly: "Miss Zhizhi, the Duke is out."
Yu Zhizhi hugged the pillow and opened her eyes drowsily.
Seeing the Duke walking by, a group of servants followed him in an orderly manner.
Teacher Dai Li showed a look of "sympathy".
Seeing the Duke's cold attitude, Miss Zhizhi wondered if she would be punished after returning.
Yu Zhizhi followed him.
As the night grows darker, the street lights remain quietly on.
The servants all stayed away.
Duke and Yu Zhizhi were walking on the tree-lined path. He asked casually, "Did you have fun today?"
"Well, Miss Mumu and I were models for Miss Nicole. She was really good at drawing and even gave me one as a gift."
As she spoke, she began to flip through the book.
Turn over the folded drawing paper.
The Duke glanced at the cover of the book. It was signed by Gray and had a blessing:
【May the gods bless you. 】
"Earl Grey, the most outstanding young male of the White Snake Clan. He has a good status and a particularly good reputation. If you choose him as your beast husband, it will also be a good story."
Duke Platinum's tone was serious and he didn't sound like he was joking.
Yu Zhizhi was stunned.
Choose him to be a beastly husband?
—She had never thought about it before.
However, the progress of the third main mission is stuck. If you don't hurry up, you will be eliminated if the mission is not completed within the time limit!
Compared to this, if choosing a beast husband can complete the task, it is not impossible, but it may be more troublesome?
Seeing the little female thinking seriously, Duke Bolan showed a sneer on his face. He quickened his pace with a gloomy face, and Yu Zhizhi hurriedly trotted to catch up.
—She was moved.
This little thing.
The moment she heard that she could choose Earl Grey as her beastly husband, one could see from her eyes that she was truly shaken.
This is different from the previous mention of the K family, where she rejected it without hesitation.
What you see with your eyes doesn't lie.
It was such a "harmonious" and "sweet" scene that Bolan saw at the door. Although the little female had her back to the door, one could imagine the shy smile on her face.
It was exactly the same expression as when he was usually held in his arms and caressed.
Walk outside the courtyard.
The Duke stopped suddenly.
Yu Zhizhi almost hit his back.
Just as she was wondering, she saw the man in front of her turn around. He held her chin with one hand, leaned over, and his golden vertical pupils emitted a cold light: "Do you like him very much?"
He? Who?
Lord Grey?
Because of the pinching of Yu Zhizhi's jaw, she was forced to raise her head and even stand on tiptoe - in the eyes of others, the little female was about to be lifted up by him.
Bolan didn't get the answer she wanted to hear.
At this time, the female should say "no" or "no", which are negative words.
But she said nothing.
It was not until he saw tears in her eyes that the Duke let go of her hand.
Yu Zhizhi covered her chin and looked at the man in front of her timidly.
—Why is the Duke suddenly angry?
During the day, it was fine.
When he woke up in the morning, he said "good morning" gently...
There will be another chapter at 7pm!
"Someone come here." The Duke turned sideways.
A group of servants and guards followed behind him and walked quickly, kneeling on one knee in unison.
"From today on, this yard will be locked and no one is allowed to enter or leave."
"yes."
Yu Zhizhi stood there in a daze.
The Duke walked down the stairs. Yu Zhizhi wanted to follow him, but the guard beside him stopped her with a knife.
"Ms. Zhizhi, please go back to the house."
The Duke is not going back to the study tonight?
He walked in another direction, accompanied only by a personal servant.
Teacher Dai Li, who was following behind everyone, breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the Duke has decided to lock Miss Zhizhi up temporarily. As for whether there will be other punishments later...
That depends on what the Duke thinks after the dinner.
Yu Zhizhi stood at the door, watching the man walk away.
She looked at Teacher Dai Li for help.
Dai Li smiled: "It's okay, Miss Zhizhi, you go back to your room and rest first, dinner will be served soon."
"Hmm~" Yu Zhizhi responded softly.
She held the books, stepped over the threshold and entered the familiar courtyard.
A pool of blue lotus, shimmering with light.
She was the only one left.
Yu Zhizhi stepped on the wooden floor at the door, took off her shoes, and walked into the study barefoot.
There was a firefly light on the desk. She put the book in her arms on the table and looked back outside the courtyard. The moonlight was quiet and the lotus was swaying in the wind.
The servants soon brought dinner.
But he didn't dare to enter the yard.
Just put it at the door.
When Yu Zhizhi heard the noise, she walked over and saw a small low table with four plates of exquisite food on it.
She squatted down, sat on the cushion, silently picked up the chopsticks, and started eating the grilled seasonal vegetables in front of her.
In the past, dinner was always held in the house with the lights on. The Duke had a faint, delicate fragrance on his body, which smelled very much like the blue lotus in the pond.
Sometimes he would hold her in his arms and feed her spoonful by spoonful.
In this comparison, she now seemed particularly lonely and desolate as she sat alone at the door eating.
The servants dared not step forward.
Teacher Dai Li just stood by the door, looking at Yu Zhizhi with a hint of pity in her eyes.
—It's actually very good.
His Excellency the Duke was not so patient with his pets in the past.
"It will be fine." Dai Li comforted: "After this busy period, the Duke will come back."
I won't keep ignoring her.
Yu Zhizhi ate half a piece of toast, spread a layer of milk sauce on it, and nodded slightly.
After dinner, she returned to the house alone.
The steaming hot pool in the backyard is used for bathing.
After cleaning herself up, she returned to bed and fell asleep hugging her pillow.
This time, without the Duke to "dry" her hair, she sneezed when she woke up in the morning. Her nose was red and her throat was itchy, which seemed to be caused by the cold.
When Teacher Dai Li found out, she gave her a small pill.
For several days the Duke did not return.
Moreover, no orcs were allowed to enter the yard, and Yu Zhizhi was not allowed to leave. Her activities were limited to the front and back yards.
Yu Zhizhi realized that she was imprisoned.
She was extremely anxious.
But there was no sign of the Duke. Teacher Dai Li said that he had been staying in the palace.
Even when working, I set up a chopping table in the dormitory.
Yu Zhizhi was the only one living in the study.
Until the day of the dinner, Yu Zhizhi still could not go out.
She has cut off all contact with the outside world.
"Only one week left..."
Yu Zhizhi sat in a soft chair, counting the time. There was still a whole week left before the deadline for the third main mission.
Tonight, the focus of the Duke's Mansion is on the dinner.
This place is quite remote, and there are only two guards guarding the door.
Perhaps it was because Yu Zhizhi had behaved well this week, eating and sleeping on time, and never trying to "escape". The guards all relaxed unconsciously.
There was a grand dinner being held ahead, and everyone wanted to join in the fun.
Yu Zhizhi sneaked to the corner of the backyard.
She had discovered before that there was a "passage" here, which was short and small, but she could just get out by lying down.
Just by doing this, my hands and clothes got dirty, and my cheeks were rubbed with dust.
Run all the way from the backyard and you will find the utility room in just a few steps.
She sneaked over during the night.
Unlike during the day, this road at night was even more silent and eerie. The shadows of the trees did not move at all, and not even a breeze could be felt.
Seeing this utility room, she felt a lot more at ease.
In short, go in and wash your face and hands first, and then try to find a way to "encounter" a male snake.
When Yu Zhizhi approached, she knocked on the door gently: "Ping An, are you in there?"
A week has passed.
Teacher Dai Li said that servants brought him food every day.
Most of his injuries have healed.
The wild dog lying on the bed was startled when he heard the familiar voice.
Haven't seen her this week.
I thought...
She was fed up.
He stood up and walked quickly to the door, turned sideways, and opened it a crack.
The person standing outside the door was indeed a female rabbit.
Yu Zhizhi saw the door open and spread her hands: "I want to go in and wash my hands and face. I won't disturb you for too long."
The girl's eyes were as bright as stars, and the wild dog couldn't help but look away.
"oh."
He turned around and opened the door.
After seeing the girl come in, he gently closed the door. But then he felt it was inappropriate, so he half-closed it, leaving a crack.
Yu Zhizhi knew that the place where he washed was inside. After entering the bathroom, she turned on the faucet to wash the dust off her hands.
She tried to turn on the light and found it was broken.
Fortunately, there was a small window through which a little moonlight fell.
Yu Zhizhi squatted under the wash basin, silently thinking in her heart -
[I'm going to take out the eavesdropping card!]
Tonight is important.
At the most critical moment, she will use this last voice card.
The floating light blue inventory slowly opened in front of her, and a card fell into her hand, gradually turning into a real object.
She held the cards in both hands.
Because of time constraints, she has to wait until she needs it before starting it.
There were footsteps at the door.
Seeing that she had been alone in there for a long time, the wild dog came to check and found her squatting under the washbasin, muttering to herself.
I just couldn't understand what she was saying.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
Yu Zhizhi nodded gently: "Okay."
"Let's go when we're done."
It was so late, and if she was seen by other orcs coming to the utility room, gossip would spread throughout the Duke's Mansion the next day.
Yu Zhizhi looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"Something?" He stared at the girl squatting on the ground.
"I want to ask you to do me a favor—"
Yu Zhizhi was worried: "There are many distinguished guests at the banquet today. I want to avoid them and find Earl Grey. Can you please pass on a message for me?"
The wild dog was listening to her carefully, his ears moving slightly. He suddenly entered the bathroom, squatted down and covered the girl's mouth.
He made a silencing gesture.
—Someone is coming.
Moreover, this breath exuded a strong stench and malice. The wild dog with a keen sense of smell frowned, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Soon, they heard a burst of devilish laughter.
"Don't hide, Miss Zhizhi, I know you are in there~"
The third round of PK has begun~ Please vote! Please read on!
See you tomorrow, baby ^_^
(End of this chapter) Chapter 50 She is like a rose.
This sound...
A little familiar.
Yu Zhizhi's mouth was covered by the wild dog. Her pupils widened slightly. She heard footsteps approaching and stopping at the bathroom door.
"Today's dinner is very lively, Miss Zhizhi, don't you want to go and take a look?"
There was a smile in the young man's voice. He leaned against the wall, staring deeply at the wooden door, as if he could see what was happening inside the door.
The orc has a very strong sense of smell. He followed the scent of Yu Zhizhi all the way and tracked her down here.
In his opinion, the little female rabbit was already a trapped fish with nowhere to escape.
There was just one thing that made him unhappy—
In addition to the little rabbit, there was also the smell of a wild dog, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"Ms. Zhizhi, why don't you reply?" The smile in his amber pupils gradually faded, and his expression became indifferent, even cold. "Do you need me to ask you to come out?"
Yu Zhizhi reached out and gently held the wild dog's arm.
The hand blocking her way loosened slightly.
Yu Zhizhi said softly, "I'm here."
The wild dog's expression twisted slightly, and he instinctively stopped the female behind him—
Danger!
Yu Zhizhi used the eavesdropping card through the door.
She didn't know why she used it directly instead of looking more closely into Earl Grey's eyes.
I feel a little panic in my heart...
"Mr. Grey, what is it that brings you to me?"
Hearing the little female say his name.
The young man from the snake tribe smiled and said, "The moonlight is beautiful tonight. I would like to invite Miss Zhizhi to go to the gate to enjoy the moon together."
"Squeak—"
The bathroom door was pushed open slightly, revealing a gap.
Yu Zhizhi could clearly see that the young man standing in the front was wearing an extremely formal white suit with a rose pinned on his chest.
His amber pupils seemed to be stained with a layer of shadow, and the smile on the corners of his mouth was eerie.
This is completely different from the one I saw during the day.
[The moonlight is too bright, it needs blood to embellish it. ]
[Nothing is more suitable than this little female rabbit...]
[The cold corpse is like a faded rose. We need to inject new paint into it~]
【hehe…】
Yu Zhizhi was confused after hearing these words.
But after all, it's not a good thing!
She said softly: "I, I'm a little tired and can't see the moon."
"Is that so?" The young man from the snake tribe nodded slightly: "I understand. Then, let me take Miss Zhizhi back to the courtyard."
He looked at the crack in the door and stretched out his hand slightly: "Come, I'll take you back."
[I don't want to wait even a second. ]
[From the first moment I saw the little female rabbit, I wanted to touch your cold body. ]
Hearing Earl Grey's voice, Yu Zhizhi's body couldn't stop shaking.
She said timidly: "The Duke will know."
No matter what he wants to do, it is difficult to hide it from the Duke's eyes. When the Duke of Bolan finds out, he will definitely not sit idly by.
Earl Grey smiled softly: "Lord Bolan, I haven't seen you for a long time. For him, pets can be discarded directly if they are disobedient."
"…He's just busy."
"I didn't even invite you to the dinner. Are you just too busy? Oh, by the way, the two white wolves from the K family mentioned you tonight. The Duke said you were sick."
The young man from the snake tribe kicked the door open.
"Admit it."
He looked down at the weak female rabbit hiding behind the door.
"You have fallen from grace."
Earl Grey's amber pupils darkened, and a smile gathered in his eyes: "The guards are all in the front yard. No one will know that you are here."
"Originally, I wanted to sneak into the study directly."
"Now that I think about it, this might be the most appropriate place. After all, we have a scapegoat." The young snake man glanced at another dark shadow in the bathroom.
"The wild dog got lustful and accidentally killed his savior. I'm sure everyone will enjoy watching this play."
The right time, the right place, and the right people.
All three.
Tonight is the most convenient night to commit the crime.
While the banquet attracted everyone's attention, in a remote corner where no one cared, the prey he had been eyeing for a long time finally fell into the net he had woven.
"Earl Grey, you are different from during the day." Yu Zhizhi murmured.
He chuckled softly as he saw the color drain from the little female's face.
"I don't like living females..."
"I only like corpses. The rotting, cold corpses that never speak."
"It's a pity that I can't take you home and keep you safe."
"It doesn't matter~"
"It's enough to give me temporary pleasure."
The young snake man drew out the rapier from his waist. The sword light reflected his dangerous amber eyes, and his long snake tongue licked the corner of his mouth.
Hiss—
In the quiet utility room, the sound of snakes spitting out their tongues is particularly clear.
Yu Zhizhi's body couldn't stop shaking.
Earl Grey was completely different from the one he had seen before!
At that time, he was humble, gentle, and polite. But now he was especially strange. If he hadn't had the same face, Yu Zhizhi wouldn't have dared to recognize him.
"Bang!"
The bathroom door was suddenly closed by gravity.
Wild Dog held the wooden door with one hand and whispered, "Escape through the small window and call for help!"
"But you—"
"I can't get out of such a small window."
The wild dog turned his head and stared at the wooden door in front of him, feeling the male outside kicking again and again.
Lord Grey's meaning was obvious.
Kill the little female and put the blame on the wild dog.
—Who would believe that Earl Grey, who is of noble status, talented and has countless fans in the Valoran Empire, would brutally kill S-class females of the rabbit tribe?
instead.
The lowly slaves became beastly and tortured and killed their masters to convince the masses.
"Go!" The wooden door was about to crack.
The wild dog saw the tears in the little female's eyes and laughed at himself: "I am just a worthless person, and it is not a pity to die."
He...
Just a stray dog that wanders around picking up trash.
A lowly beast for the amusement of the powerful.
From the moment the golden animal bones were taken away from his body, his entire life was frozen on that day.
However, he was rescued.
Perhaps she had other intentions behind her kindness.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
From the day Yu Zhizhi came to deliver meals with a lunch box, he seemed to have something to look forward to in his life.
Then she disappeared for a week.
When he heard her voice, the wild dog could not hide his joy.
Soon, I fell into endless self-mockery.
"Ping An, hold on." Yu Zhizhi didn't dare to delay any longer. She stood up, opened the small window, and said in a trembling voice, "I'll go call someone. I'll go now!"
She climbed up the window, but her legs slipped and she fell down. Her knees hit the bathtub, and she burst into tears in pain.
Ignoring the pain in her legs, Yu Zhizhi flipped over again.
The narrow window is usually only used for ventilation, and is large enough for only a child to get out.
And petite females.
The wild dog blocked the door tightly and refused to give in.
He caught a glimpse of the little female stepping out of the window and a smile appeared on his face.
Earl Grey behind the door had lost his patience. The long sword in his hand pierced through the wooden door and firmly nailed the wild dog's body.
"She will just run away desperately, getting farther and farther away. Call for help? Who do you think you are? Can she come back to find you?"
"But the Duke's Mansion is so large, can she run as fast as me?"
"It's unnecessary."
Boom!
Lord Grey drew his sword, and blood splashed onto the door.
Chapter 2 will be updated on time at 7pm!
