Chapter 51 The Duke is coming.
The road ahead was dark and eerie, and the sound of insects could be faintly heard among the shadows of the bamboos.
Yu Zhizhi hurt her knee, and she felt a sharp pain every time she took a step. She endured it and limped towards the front yard of the library.
But…
She walked too slowly.
Without awakened spiritual power, he couldn't even run faster than ordinary orcs.
Turning back, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow approaching him with a bloody rapier. The smile on the young man's face was blurry and a little weird.
Woohoo—
How did Earl Grey become so terrifying? Was his usual appearance just a disguise?
He deceived everyone!
Yu Zhizhi was still worried about Ping An, afraid that something might have happened to him. Tears welled up in her eyes and a few drops fell in the wind.
This long trail seems to have no end.
"thump!"
Yu Zhizhi was tripped by a stone and fell to the ground.
Earl Grey didn't even need to use his mental strength, he easily caught up with the weak little rabbit.
The sword in his hand, the bloodstain solidified in the wind.
Came to the front of this little female.
Seeing her miserable appearance, the killing desire in his heart became more and more uncontrollable—
Earl Grey killed many females.
But this is the first of its kind, a distinguished S-class.
The taste of a corpse might be different from those mundane things.
I 'm looking forward to it more and more~
Yu Zhizhi looked at Earl Grey in horror as he came to her, his amber vertical pupils glowing with a sinister and vicious light.
"Don't be afraid, I will be very gentle."
The young snake man laughed.
He slowly raised the silver rapier in his hand and aimed it at the little female's heart.
"Right here."
Lord Grey's voice was extremely gentle, as if they were meeting for the first time: "I promise, I will kill him with one strike."
【There is no point in killing people. 】
【Only corpses are interesting.】
[Those female fans who came to me, their rose-like bodies, are all frozen deep in the ice cellar. Every time I look back, I can inject new white pigment into them.]
—Who could believe that Earl Grey, who is of noble status and great reputation, would do such a thing behind the scenes?
When Yu Zhizhi heard his thoughts, she felt a tingling sensation in her spine. Her legs were out of control and she was completely unable to move.
She closed her eyes tightly, her whole body trembled, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
I am dying...
That was the only thought in her mind.
"bite!-"
There was only a crisp sound.
A gust of wind blew, and Yu Zhizhi smelled blood.
The rapier that was originally pointed at her was deflected by the force of gravity, and Earl Grey cut his own body.
Yu Zhizhi sat on the ground, opened her eyes tremblingly, and saw Guard Captain Geo in black guard uniform. He appeared behind Earl Grey at some point.
The sound of many footsteps was heard in the previously quiet bamboo forest.
Guard Captain Geo bowed and said, "Sorry, Miss Zhizhi, I'm late."
His duty is to protect Yu Zhizhi.
It's just that she has been locked up in the study during this period of time, and with today's dinner, relatives who haven't seen her for a long time came to the Duke's Mansion, and she drank too much.
Fortunately, we were able to stop it in time—
[If the Duke hadn't reminded me…]
The outcome is disastrous.
The orcs gradually gathered together.
They all came from the banquet, or rather, they came with His Excellency the Duke.
Most of them wore evening gowns, and many of the females had wide and fluffy skirts, which made it very difficult for them to walk, and they needed servants to hold the corners of their clothes from behind.
Yu Zhizhi stared blankly at the familiar figure who walked through the crowd and came in front of her.
Tonight, the Duke wore a dark purple robe with a black belt embroidered with a python. His golden vertical pupils passed over Earl Grey and fell on Yu Zhizhi.
The little female's white gauze skirt was covered in dust, her cheeks were dirty, her nose was very red, and her clear eyes were staring at him blankly, like a pool of spring water, trembling and slowly overflowing.
Her tears fell one by one.
He must have been terribly scared.
A face as pale as paper, trembling eyelashes, crying silently.
"what happens?"
"I don't know—"
The guests who gathered around did not come too close, but just stood far away and whispered to each other.
The snake girl Mu Mu stood in the herd, pinching the hem of her sky blue skirt with both hands, looking at Yu Zhizhi in astonishment.
I heard that she was neglected by Lord Bolan and had been locked up in a remote courtyard.
She was not even allowed to attend the dinner party.
I didn't expect that when I saw her again, she was in such an embarrassing situation.
She and Earl Grey?
Is there something wrong?
"Brother!" White Snake Nicole squeezed through the crowd and came to Earl Grey's side: "You...what happened to you?"
The young man from the snake tribe showed a gentle smile on his face. He put away his rapier and said softly,
"It was just a misunderstanding."
Guard Captain Geo frowned suddenly. He arrived the fastest, so he saw everything clearly.
What a misunderstanding!
It's obvious that Earl Grey wants to assassinate Miss Zhizhi!
However, the guests who were watching arrived late, and could only see that Earl Grey's arm was scratched, and the blood kept flowing down like a thread...
Lord Grey was fearless.
He just smiled gently, facing the Duke, and saluted without arrogance: "Lord Bolan, I can explain to you what happened tonight. I received a letter from Miss Zhizhi, so I came here at night-"
"Oh?" The Duke glanced at him with interest, "And then?"
"When I passed the utility room, I noticed something unusual happening - a male dog was trying to do something indecent to Miss Zhizhi."
Earl Grey looked serious, and he spoke word by word:
"I seriously injured the wild dog, and Miss Zhizhi took advantage of the chaos to escape. I was afraid that something might happen to her, so I chased after her. But Miss Zhizhi misunderstood. Maybe she saw the blood on the sword in my hand, or maybe she was frightened-"
He looked at Yu Zhizhi again, his face full of apology:
"I'm really sorry for scaring Miss Zhizhi. I'm willing to accept the punishment."
Lord Grey is lying.
He knew that without evidence, no one could convict him.
No one would believe that wild dog was just a slave.
Even if Guard Captain Geo saw him holding a sword, it couldn't prove that he wanted to kill Yu Zhizhi. After all, there were no wounds on the body of this little female rabbit.
In addition, there were red marks on her knees from the fall.
Not to mention—
The little female rabbit has fallen out of favor.
The Duke would never harm his own people for her.
Even if he is guilty...
Lord Bolan will also cover up for him.
Seeing Earl Grey's sincere attitude, Guard Captain Geo even thought he was seeing things.
The Duke listened quietly to everything Earl Grey said.
He looked at the little female sitting on the ground, crying softly. She was all dirty, her white gauze skirt had turned gray, her two rabbit ears drooped in grievance, and pearl-like tears rolled down her pale cheeks. She kept crying.
"Miss Zhizhi, do you have anything to say?"
There was no emotion in the Duke of Platinum's voice, which was still slightly hoarse, with a hint of indescribable laziness.
Yu Zhizhi was very scared.
With misty eyes, she raised her slender jade finger and pointed at the white figure in front of her.
"he-"
The little female rabbit's voice was still a little choked up, her tone was soft and weak, but with an unprecedented firmness:
"...He lied!"
Thank you for the recommendation votes, my dears~~ there are so many, I'm happy! Hehehe!
Thank you for the 588 points from [洁]!
See you tomorrow~~

Chapter 52 Confrontation.
The clear, choked voice of the little female fell into the ears of every orc present.
Guard Captain Geo's expression changed slightly, and he glanced sideways at Yu Zhizhi.
A "distinguished guest" from the rabbit tribe, although everyone knows that she is the Duke's new "pet", but in Geo's heart, she is a guest of the Duke's Mansion and must be treated well and protected.
Facing Yu Zhizhi's accusations, Earl Grey's face showed no sign of panic.
His amber pupils showed a hint of apology: "It seems that I really scared Miss Zhizhi."
All the orcs' attention was focused here.
The Duke stared at the little female sitting on the ground: "Why did he lie?"
This was the first time that Yu Zhizhi experienced such a thing.
Confronting someone face to face -
She was extremely worried. She raised her pale face, her tearful eyes stubbornly said, "I didn't send him a letter."
Hearing these words, there seemed to be a hint of smile in the Duke's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"Yeah." He nodded and encouraged, "Anything else?"
"And the canine male in the utility room, he didn't try to hurt me. On the contrary, he saved me!"
"He saved you?"
"Yes! The person who really wants to harm me—"
Yu Zhizhi looked at Earl Grey who was wearing a white uniform.
His amber vertical pupils were full of apology, and his temperament was gentle and humble. In the eyes of all the orcs in the Valoran Empire, he was a model of noble maleness and a future orc husband that many females preferred.
He is an imperial noble, with a hereditary title, overflowing with talent, and with the full support of the snake clan, he has a bright future.
In full view of everyone, Yu Zhizhi read out his name.
"The one who really wants to harm me is Earl Grey!"
It's him!
It's this beast in human clothing standing in front of her!
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
The orcs watching were in an uproar.
Nicole, who was closest to Earl Grey, widened her amber snake eyes: "Impossible! Brother would never want to hurt you!"
—Ms. Zhizhi is a newly advanced S-class female.
On the Beast World, harming an S-class female is a serious crime!
"My brother has always been polite and law-abiding. There must be a misunderstanding."
A bitter smile appeared on Earl Grey's face, and he patted Nicole's shoulder soothingly.
"It doesn't matter."
"I can understand Miss Zhizhi's feelings."
"No matter what happened tonight, it's all my fault. Please punish me, Your Excellency the Duke."
Earl Grey's attitude was very sincere, and the bitter smile that flashed across his face was also seen by the orcs.
It's like...
I suffered a great injustice.
But for the sake of the overall situation, I swallowed it all.
"It should be... a misunderstanding, right?"
The orcs nearby couldn't help but communicate in low voices.
"How could Earl Grey do such a thing? Maybe he offended that S-rank female rabbit."
"That's right. Why would Earl Grey want to harm her for no reason?"
The Duke looked calm and made the final decision.
"Ms. Zhizhi, how do you want to punish him?"
Nicole's face showed indignation -
"Your Excellency the Duke! My brother must be wrongly accused!"
The Duke of Platinum glanced at her with his golden vertical pupils, and the snake girl immediately fell silent.
Really going to punish him?
Mu Mu, who was standing by, was also surprised.
Earl Grey is a talented person of the Snake Clan. The Duke loves talents so much, so he should protect him, right?
But judging from what Lord Bolan said, it seemed that this matter was entirely up to Yu Zhizhi to decide.
She said to punish, so I punish.
Whatever punishment she says, that's the punishment!
"According to the laws of the empire, if you displease an S-class female, you should be imprisoned for more than ten days but less than thirty days, depending on the severity of the situation. In extremely serious cases, the punishment will exceed thirty days, and the maximum punishment may be six months of confinement."
The Duke gave a brief introduction to the law.
This is mainly for this little female to hear.
The orcs had different expressions.
-yes.
Because S-level females are extremely rare, they are protected by law. No beastman can harm them or make them unhappy.
People can be locked up for any reason.
Half a year...
If the female rabbits really took half a year to choose, it would be an unexpected disaster for Earl Grey!
When Yu Zhizhi heard the Duke's words, tears gradually welled up in her eyes.
To punish Earl Grey, not because he made her unhappy, but because he had to pay the price for what he had done!
She held the hem of her skirt tightly, her weak body trembling helplessly in the night wind.
The Duke looked at her quietly.
The nobles watching the scene also began to look at her in a strange light. In their opinion, this S-rank female wanted a more severe punishment. This was really...
Be unyielding even when you are right.
However, the S-class females in the empire are more spoiled than each other, and they are used to it.
When I watched the live broadcast before, I thought she was different.
Now it seems, they are all the same.
"Poor Earl Grey, he has offended her." Some of the onlookers could not bear to watch and complained in a low voice.
No...
No...
Yu Zhizhi pursed her lips, trying hard to hold back her tears, not wanting to cry anymore.
It's Earl Grey who's lying!
He is acting!
He is hypocritical!
But no orc believed that Earl Grey would do something so evil.
The power of punishment lies in Yu Zhizhi's hands.
But she was unwilling to convict him just like that.
In the eyes of the orcs, Earl Grey was oppressed by the S-level females, how pitiful he was.
Seeing the little female trying hard to hold back her tears, the Duke's heart was finally moved.
He reminded: "Ms. Zhizhi, do you need additional evidence?"
Evidence...?
Yu Zhizhi raised her eyes and stared at the Duke in a daze.
Ah!
She suddenly remembered!
Yu Zhizhi's face showed a trace of excitement. She reached out and grabbed the Duke's sleeve: "I, I have... I'll tell you."
The Duke crouched down slowly.
All the orcs saw that the female rabbit raised her upper body and whispered something in the ear of Duke Platinum.
She told it to no one but the Duke.
Evidence? Could it be that the S-rank female really had evidence? Could it be that things were going to turn around?!
All the beastmen held their breath and watched them intently, fearing to miss any details.
Yu Zhizhi finished speaking.
She whispered, "…that's all."
In fact, Yu Zhizhi was very nervous, and her evidence was what she heard when she used the [Voice Eavesdropping Card].
Earl Grey killed many females.
The body was hidden in the ice cellar.
There was a hint of coldness in the Duke's golden vertical pupils. He stood up and slowly spread out his right hand. A cloud of smoke appeared on his palm and gradually rose into the air.
The cloud of smoke gradually gathered into the shape of a lotus.
In everyone's sight, it transformed into a blue lotus, which slowly blossomed. Crystal clear light appeared all around, and this lotus was magnificent and heart-stirring.
Sound travels thousands of miles.
The Duke's order has been given.
—Is there really any evidence?
The beastmen looked at each other in bewilderment, and many noble females approached this side with their fluffy skirts. They all wanted to be closer to Youlian so that they could know the truth more clearly.
There will be an update at 7pm!
Lord Grey knelt on one knee, with a hint of confusion in his drooping eyes.
【What evidence can this little female rabbit provide? 】
The most important thing is that he never expected that the Duke would actually use his mental power to search for her. This blue lotus can link to the situation in another place in real time, which left him no time to prepare!
The young snake man looked at Yu Zhizhi nervously.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he didn't dare to make any unnecessary moves.
Almost…
She was almost killed in the utility room.
If it weren't for that wild dog blocking the way -
"Hmm?" The Duke looked at the lotus blooming in the air, a hint of obscure emotion flashing across his golden pupils.
All the orcs looked over as well.
In the night sky.
The blue lotus slowly rotated, and a clear projection gradually emerged on it!
After Nicole saw the picture clearly, she murmured: "The Earl's Mansion?"
The Duke is using his mental power to explore the Earl's mansion?
Why?
If according to the female rabbit, her brother wanted to harm her, then how come the evidence was in their house?
A snake guard appeared in the picture.
He knelt on one knee and saluted the Duke.
After getting up, he quickly shuttled through the night. Behind him, there was an invisible camera that could project everything around him onto the dark lotus, so that all the orcs present could see it.
Yu Zhizhi pinched her skirt nervously. If they could find the "ice cellar" that Earl Grey had in mind, then everyone would know that he was a murderous demon!
His usual gentleness and humility were all fake!
The picture gradually became clear -
Following the Duke's instructions, the snake guards found an old building in the Earl's mansion.
It looks like a post-war ruin.
Usually, servants rarely come.
The snake guard walked down and came to a stone door. He placed the key in his hand on the stone wall, and the three-meter-high stone door slowly opened.
A gust of icy fog came towards them. The snake guards put on black masks vigilantly, holding a lamp in their hands, and walked towards the depths.
The further you go in, the colder it gets.
The ground under my feet seemed to be frozen, and I couldn't see any scenery along the way. I walked all the way to the deepest part, where there was an ice cellar.
Pushing open the frozen door with the butterfly specimen, what comes into view is a frozen coffin that looks like a vertical glass box—
There were about a dozen of them, and each one could clearly see the young females lying inside. Their eyes were slightly closed, their faces were ruddy, and their lips were red, as if they were asleep.
The images on the blue lotus are like a documentary film, with high-definition quality.
All the orcs stared at this scene in amazement.
The snake guard stopped in front of an ice-made glass. He picked up the lamp and covered the female deer. Her antlers looked withered. There were still mottled traces of dirt on her ruddy face.
The guard turned around and knelt on one knee.
"Your Excellency, according to your instructions, we have found the bodies hidden in the ice cellar. There are thirteen in total."
Nicole stared blankly at the picture on the dark lotus. This place was a forbidden place in the Earl's Mansion. It was rumored that a vicious curse had been left behind and no one could get close to it.
But there is an ice cellar here?
There are so many young female corpses hidden here? ?
The smile on Earl Grey's face froze, and his hands hanging by his side trembled slowly. But he was still calculating rapidly in his heart -
Just found the body.
If he refuses to admit it, who can prove that he murdered these females?
Then, we can find a scapegoat from the earldom...
The Duke listened to what the guard said and said in a gloomy tone: "Check the marks on the body."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke."
Lord Grey turned pale.
He didn't expect that the matter in the ice cellar would be discovered. The traces he had left behind so recklessly before had become evidence tonight.
The orcs looked at Earl Grey again, and their expressions became ambiguous.
No oral description is as shocking as seeing it with your own eyes.
There were already some females who were a little timid, covering their mouths with their sleeves and trembling all over.
Until the results come out.
The snake guard said word by word: "It is the body fluid left by Earl Grey."
With one word, he was crucified.
Nicole looked at her brother who was kneeling on one knee in front of her in shock. She couldn't believe that her brother, who had always been polite, had actually killed so many females in private!
Then tonight...
Thinking back to what Miss Zhizhi said, my brother was so crazy that he wanted to kill the S-rank females of the Empire? !
—Is he crazy? !
All the orcs around understood!
Some female orcs covered their chests and almost vomited.
Everyone saw the traces left on the body.
It wasn't even from a long time ago, but was left behind recently, otherwise it wouldn't have been taken away for testing.
During the dinner, many females gathered around Earl Grey, holding his books and asking for his signature.
How much they like this talented snake earl.
So much so that when Yu Zhizhi accused him, many orcs thought it might be a misunderstanding, or even that this female rabbit just disliked Earl Grey.
In short—
Earl Grey must be innocent!
And the truth is always unbelievable!
Lord Grey's face was as pale as paper.
When the snake guard said that, he knew that everything was over.
No one will believe his excuses anymore.
This is his unknown habit.
It has been well hidden all along.
But this female rabbit—
How did she know?
No one heard what she said to Lord Bolan. All we know is that after that, Duke Bolan found the place where the body was hidden accurately.
Many male orcs at the scene showed angry expressions—
In the Valoran Empire, fertile females are extremely valuable, not to mention S-level females like Miss Zhizhi!
Earl Grey actually wants to harm her!
Unforgivable!
Guard Captain Geo clenched the sword in his hand and knelt down.
"My Lord Duke, according to the laws of the Empire, those who harm S-rank females will have their titles revoked, their political rights deprived for life, and sentenced to life imprisonment!"
As a member of the same snake clan, Geo felt very ashamed!
He didn't even dare to think that if he came a step later -
What will be the fate of Miss Zhizhi? !
A female crane in the herd angrily threw the "Mountains, Waters and Mists" in her hand to the ground.
It also has Earl Grey's autograph on it...
It seems particularly ironic.
Snake Mu Mu tightly grasped the whip in her hand, her brown pupils gloomy, she gritted her teeth and said: "What a scum of the snake clan...!"
She thought of the bodies that seemed to be sleeping in the ice cellar.
Think about what happened to them.
Thinking of the female rabbit being hunted tonight—
Mu Mu was so angry that he wanted to whip him hard!
Everyone was waiting for the Duke's punishment.
Everything is clear.
Yu Zhizhi pursed her lips slightly, the tears in her eyes had disappeared. At this moment, she looked stronger than usual.
She tried to stand up.
The piercing pain in her knee made her sit back on the ground.
The Duke's eyes moved to the little female's knees, where the skin was broken and a lot of blood was flowing.
He thought—
Normally, I didn't dare hug her too tightly, for fear of accidentally breaking her soft waist.
He held her in his arms and fed her one spoonful at a time.
I hope she gains some more weight.
Even when punishing her, he did not dare to use too much force. He just bit her delicate skin lightly, without even a trace of blood.
But tonight, his precious little rabbit was targeted by an evil ghost.
"Captain Geo, you are right."
The Duke's golden pupils darkened, his tone was cold, and his usual laziness and smile were no longer visible.
"According to Imperial law, he should be imprisoned forever."
"But today—"
"I want to follow the rules of the snake tribe."
There is one more chapter today. Turn to the back →
(End of this chapter) Chapter 54 "Close your eyes, dear."
—The rules of the snake tribe?
What does it mean?
If he is publicly punished by the imperial law, he will be imprisoned for life!
The S-class female personally accused that what happened tonight was clearly Earl Grey's [attempted murder]!
Those thirteen bodies may not be important.
But Miss Zhizhi's accusation is very important!
So many orcs witnessed it—
Earl Grey will be punished by the most severe laws of the empire!
But the Duke said that we should follow the rules of the snake tribe?
this…
Could it be that His Excellency the Duke wants to make a big deal out of a small matter?
If you think about it carefully, Earl Grey is a talented person of the snake clan and the most outstanding young man of the white snake clan. If the Duke wants to protect him, he can always find a reason.
Most of the orcs present were of noble birth, but they were not in a position to interfere in the Duke's "family affairs".
In today's Valoran Empire, Duke Platinum has supreme power and is the most trusted orc of His Majesty the King.
If he wants to keep Earl Grey...
It's not a difficult task.
There was a hint of surprise in Earl Grey's eyes, and he quickly knelt on his knees, facing the Duke.
"Your Excellency the Duke! I know I was wrong! I am willing to accept any punishment!"
So what if he killed a dozen females?
He had specially selected some females of low rank and weak family background. If they died, no one would notice.
Even if we find out their identities—
It doesn't matter!
"Yes." Duke Platinum spread out his hands, and Captain Geo beside him immediately handed him the rapier.
He held the sword, and his golden vertical pupils stared at the little female who was slumped on the ground. Her eyes were red. She had been pampered in the yard for some time and had never been so embarrassed.
"According to the rules of the snake tribe, if an orc in the tribe makes a mistake, as the leader, you have the right to deal with it, right?"
Guard Captain Geo responded: "Yes, Lord Bolan."
Every country has its own laws and every family has its own rules.
Lord Bolan is both the Duke of the Empire and the leader of the snake clan.
Earl Grey is a member of the snake clan. Whether his punishment is severe or light depends entirely on the Duke's decision.
The White Snake youth no longer cared about his image. He supported himself on the ground with both hands, performed the highest level of salute, and knocked his forehead heavily on the ground.
"I swear! After tonight, I will change my ways and serve you wholeheartedly!"
Duke Platinum touched the smooth side of the rapier and had already made a decision in his mind.
"According to the rules of the snake tribe, anyone who dares to harm the distinguished guests of the Duke's Mansion should be sentenced to death."
...What?
Lord Grey thought he had misheard.
Even if he is taken before His Majesty the King, the worst that can happen to him is life imprisonment!
How did it become a capital punishment when it came to the Duke?
"No!—" Earl Grey shouted out of control: "You can't kill me without permission!"
Then, the Duke's cold gaze made it impossible for him to say the next words.
"Ms. Zhizhi."
Bolan looked at Yu Zhizhi, and his eyes softened a little: "Close your eyes, be good."
Yu Zhizhi looked at him in a daze. After hearing these words, she lowered her head and closed her eyes tightly.
—She couldn't see anything.
I only vaguely felt a flash of sword light before my eyes, and then the crowd around me burst into exclamation.
Many females retreated, and some fell to the ground!
After Yu Zhizhi closed her eyes.
The Duke raised his sword, giving almost no chance for any orc to react, only to hear a bone-piercing sound -
"Bang!"
A stream of blood gushed out, and Earl Grey, who was kneeling on the ground, instantly turned into a headless orc.
The head rolled in the air and fell onto the bluestone slab like a ball.
It rolled to the feet of a female crocodile.
The crocodile girl screamed, covered her face and stepped back!
"Ah!—"
The herd was in turmoil.
No one expected that the Duke would use the death penalty on Gray!
Nicole's face was as pale as paper, her shaky body swayed a few times, and she sat on the ground with a plop.
The Geo guard bent down and took back the rapier.
"Entertain the guests well." The Duke said to his personal servant beside him.
The servant saluted: "Yes, Master."
The matter is settled.
Earl Grey is extremely good at disguising himself. He appears to be very handsome on the surface, but secretly kills many females.
And today, he was even more audacious, wanting to extend his claws to the S-rank females of the Empire...
Duke Bolan used clan law to sentence her to death!
Yu Zhizhi still had her eyes closed.
All she heard was screams, hustle and bustle, and... the Duke's voice coming up to her.
"Okay." Bolan looked at the little female in front of him. It had only been a few days since they last saw each other, and she had made herself so embarrassed.
"You can open your eyes now."
Lord Grey's body had been carried away.
Won't scare his little pets.
Yu Zhizhi slowly opened her eyes. There was noise all around her and the lights were dim.
All the restlessness is over...
"Your Excellency the Duke." She said nervously, "I want to go to the utility room to take a look..."
Yu Zhizhi wanted to go and see how Ping An was doing.
When she escaped, Earl Grey quickly followed.
I wonder how Ping An is doing now?
"good."
The Duke knew she was worried about the wild dog.
Yu Zhizhi wanted to stand up, but it was very inconvenient, so the Duke simply picked her up.
The guests who had not yet left saw Duke Bolan pick up the little female rabbit. His movements were very gentle.
At the side, Guard Captain Geo considerately put the cloak around her.
All the orcs witnessed it all.
The Duke is really special to this female rabbit.
Thinking of His Majesty's will.
[Will he also want to run for the title of Beast Husband...? ]
Everyone thought the same thing.
Outside the herd, a pair of white male wolves stood far away. They watched the whole process without saying a word.
Until the end, Donald K sighed: "The little rabbit said he was unlucky, but he was lucky."
Everyone originally thought that she was caught by an eagle and ran away.
Unexpectedly, I came to visit the Duke's Mansion.
Now the king also knows that she is here, and the K family has already been notified about the beastly husband.
They have to prepare in advance and submit a list of candidates.
—Who else could it be?
Although Donnell really wanted to write his own name on the list.
However, in order to increase his chances of success in the election for the position of "First Beast Husband", he can only write "Don Locke K".
The Duke carried the little pet in his arms all the way to the utility room.
Reaching the door, the little female struggled to get down.
He put Yu Zhizhi on the ground.
Following them came the doctor from the Duke's Mansion. He carried a medical box and followed the smell to find the seriously injured wild dog sitting by the door in the bathroom.
The lamp was broken, so he could only put the luminous beads on the ground.
After carefully examining the wound on the wild dog, he sighed, "Miss Zhizhi, this sword was too cruel. Even if you save it, I'm afraid it will become a vegetable."
"Look…"
A wild dog without any family background, a stray dog without even a name, and currently just a slave in the Duke's Mansion.
Even if he is saved, he will be in a vegetative state and there is no value in saving him.
—Can you still save him?
The wild dog leaned against the cold wall. He could no longer open his eyes, but he could vaguely hear the hesitation in the doctor's words.
He wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
This is him.
An abandoned, homeless stray dog.
I might as well die here.
However, he heard the girl's voice trembling with excitement -
"save!"
...She is back.
Dingo's fingers moved slightly.
【She came back to find me. 】
This chapter is a new chapter~ Please vote and read on!
Thank you for your support, dears!
Thanks to the editor for the encouragement!
Thanks to [Happy Spicy Hotpot] for the 588 points!
See you tomorrow! ~
Yu Zhizhi held onto the wall beside the door with both hands, looking at the wild dog lying in a pool of blood.
The luminous beads on the ground emit a hazy light.
The old doctor helped him up, leaned his back against the wall, and took out a syringe from the box.
There is green liquid inside.
He gave the wild dog an injection.
"Let's strengthen his heart first, to prevent his heart from stopping during the operation."
He was impressed by the wild dog.
The last time he was diagnosed, he knew that his golden animal bones had been extracted. He was currently unable to awaken his spiritual power and supernatural talents.
He couldn't even do his job of guarding the house.
Not to mention higher level positions.
All they can do is be a slave, serving tea and water and being ordered around by their masters.
"His bones are actually very good, and his strength is pretty good. If he can awaken his mental power, he'll be a good candidate." The old doctor's tone sounded regretful.
"Then...when will he wake up?" Yu Zhizhi asked with concern.
The old doctor said, "There is no fixed time for this. Such a serious injury will leave sequelae. He may be in a coma for three months, or a year or two... or even longer."
Outside the utility room.
The Duke heard the conversation between the two.
He said, "For his contribution in saving lives, the Duke's Mansion will take good care of him. He can sleep as long as he wants until he dies, and all medical measures will not be interrupted."
This is said to the little females.
Reassure her.
Guard Captain Geo, standing by, had a guilty look on his face.
If he had not been careless, Earl Grey would never have had the opportunity to take advantage of him.
I drank too much tonight and it delayed everything.
He was about to kneel on one knee when he heard the Duke's words -
"It's too late. Go back. We'll discuss your punishment tomorrow."
"yes!"
Geo responded immediately.
He bowed and saluted: "I will take my leave."
When Guard Captain Geo was leaving, he saw the rabbit man Noel coming towards him and he saluted respectfully.
Noel has also been following this matter.
He came to the door of the utility room and said slowly, "I have a way to make him wake up in the shortest possible time without leaving any sequelae."
The Duke smiled and said, "Thank you, please."
Yu Zhizhi heard the voice and turned around in surprise. Seeing that it was Noel from the Rabbit Clan, she remembered that he was the most famous doctor in the Valoran Empire!
—The supernatural talent he awakened was [Healing]!
The old doctor saw who was coming and his face was full of surprise: "Lord Noel, please come in!"
It was the first time for him to have close contact with this rabbit boy.
The power of a healer is much more effective than lying in a cold hospital.
The old doctor simply treated the wound to ensure the wild dog's life. As for the rest, he originally wanted to take the dog to the operating room in the territory, but when he saw the healer, he quickly stood up and made way.
Noel from Green City, a date with him is worth a fortune.
Yu Zhizhi saw the young man walking past her.
She whispered, "Thank you."
Noel from the rabbit tribe curled his lips slightly, looked ahead, and said lightly: "This love, in the future-"
He whispered in a voice that only Yu Zhizhi could hear, "You have to pay it back."
After the old doctor came out, he saw the wound on Yu Zhizhi's knee and made a "please" gesture.
"Ms. Zhizhi, come here, I'll treat your knee to prevent it from getting infected."
"good."
Yu Zhizhi agreed.
She slowly moved to the stool in the utility room, sat down, and saw the old doctor taking out disinfectant and cleaning her wound.
The special medicine he used didn't hurt, and even had a slight cooling effect.
Blood scabs formed at the broken places.
After cleaning, cover it with a waterproof bandage to ensure it does not come into contact with airborne bacteria.
The old doctor handed Yu Zhizhi a bottle of white medicine: "It can promote blood circulation and relieve pain. It may taste a little bitter, but it's good for your health."
After drinking it, you can walk normally.
Yu Zhizhi took it and drank it all in one gulp.
Just like the old doctor said, it tastes a bit bitter and astringent, like licking metal.
The effect is significant.
As soon as I drank it, the pain in my body disappeared.
Yu Zhizhi tried to move her legs and found that she could straighten and bend them normally.
Several servants came to the door, including Teacher Dai Li.
She walked to Yu Zhizhi and said softly, "Miss Zhizhi, it's so late, go back and rest first, I'll watch over here."
"Hmm~" Yu Zhizhi nodded slightly.
In the bathroom, Noel had already drawn up the healing formation. Even from a distance, she could still feel the holy light surrounding her.
Yu Zhizhi stood up and walked slowly to the door.
Outside the courtyard, the moonlight was scattered all over the ground.
The Duke stood alone beside the bamboo shadows. He looked up and stared at the night sky in the distance. His dark purple robe swayed in the wind, and there was a trace of weariness and loneliness between his brows.
The black snake wrapped around his shoulder slid down his body onto the bamboo after seeing the girl and quickly disappeared into the night.
Yu Zhizhi walked behind him.
The Duke heard footsteps, turned around, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in the depths of his pupils.
"I'm fine~" Yu Zhizhi slowly lifted the hem of her skirt and showed the Duke her newly bandaged knee, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Let's go."
The Duke walked towards the library.
Yu Zhizhi followed.
She found that this time the Duke walked very slowly, and she could easily keep up with him without jogging.
The two walked along the green path, one in front and one behind. Passing by the wall of the backyard, the Duke casually glanced at the hole under the wall.
"Run away from here?"
Yu Zhizhi blushed: "Yeah."
"It's hard to believe you can find it."
The Duke's lips curled slightly.
This hole.
It was left over from a Chow Chow puppy I raised many years ago.
It has been a long time, and after planting green plants, it is basically invisible. If it weren't for the small pet sneaking out, he would have forgotten about it.
Back to the bookstore.
Yu Zhizhi took off her shoes at the door, held them in her hands, stepped on the cobblestones and did not go into the house, but walked along the path beside and went directly to the backyard.
It's a mess today, we need to clean it up properly.
The round bathtub is filled with hot steam.
The moonlight in the sky is bright.
There is a dim small lamp hanging by the pool.
She could almost see the moonlight swaying on the water, hazy and beautiful. Yu Zhizhi put her shoes away, slowly sat down by the pool, and soaked her legs in the hot water.
When the Duke arrived, he saw the little female sitting by the pool, seemingly in a daze.
He sat down too.
Yu Zhizhi was still thinking about what happened tonight and was still frightened.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she felt like she had survived the scythe of the god of death.
If it weren't for the [Eavesdropping Card], she might have died at the hands of Earl Grey.
I looked through the system mall before, but didn't find this card.
She couldn't help but ask in her heart.
[I want to buy two more Eavesdropping Cards, is that ok?]
[System: Sorry, not for sale at the moment. There is a chance that they will drop into the reward pool after completing the main quest.]
Yu Zhizhi remembers.
Neither the first nor the second mission rewards the Eavesdropping Card.
These two cards were opened from the novice gift pack.
I hope I can receive this reward for the third main mission.
But, thinking about the third main mission...
Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but lower her head, her rabbit ears drooping, feeling very confused.
[The Duke has never had any sexual desire for me.]
The Duke found that the little rabbit was wilting.
Doesn't look very happy.
He couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
Yu Zhizhi didn't think about it and blurted out: "...I'm thinking about you."
Update Chapter 2 at 7pm~
The Duke had never felt any desire for her.
Those times...
It was all her teasing on the quilt.
Yu Zhizhi thought about it and thought, in real life, she wouldn't have any extra thoughts about the cats and dogs she raised, right?
Even if we like someone, the liking for pets is different from the liking for humans.
The Duke has always kept her as a pet.
When Yu Zhizhi realized what she had answered, her face turned slightly red. She lowered her head and looked at the steaming pool. Just as she was about to go down and hide in the water, she found out—
Her shoulders were held down.
"Thinking of you"...
The little female's voice is so soft and sweet that I can never get enough of it.
"Miss me?" The Duke put his arm around her shoulders and held her in his arms. He held her chin with his other hand and stared into her eyes with his golden vertical pupils. "What do you miss about me? Huh?"
The air was filled with mist.
In the heat, the little female's wet eyes sparkled. Her snow-white cheeks were stained with a layer of crimson, which spread little by little, and even the tips of her rabbit ears turned red.
But…
What should she say?
I had tried everything I could to stop him, but the Duke remained indifferent.
He just had a smile on his face, and his cold fingertips teased her wantonly, staring at her ups and downs.
Yu Zhizhi was a little sad.
The Duke saw that the light flickering in the little female's eyes slowly went out.
She lowered her eyes, as if hiding her inner emotions.
...What's wrong?
Why are you unhappy?
The Duke found that he cared a lot.
Was the little pet frightened tonight, or was it worried about the dying wild dog?
Why does it look so sad?
Her eyelashes were gradually stained with tears. Yu Zhizhi pursed her lips. She didn't want to cry, but when she thought about the failure of her snake clan's "third goal" and the almost finished mission time, she couldn't stop crying.
Obliterated...
What will it be like?
Will it hurt?
Will the memory fade?
Will she leave a mark in this world?
She hasn't been able to go home yet, hasn't been able to see the people she wanted to see...
The Duke looked at the crystal tears in the corners of her eyes, and his heart was moved slightly.
He used his fingers to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Immediately following.
He leaned over and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"What's wrong, sweetheart?"
The man's magnetic voice was low and slightly hoarse. No matter what, he hoped that the little female could be happier at this moment.
Yu Zhizhi's tears became more and more violent.
She felt the kiss on her lips.
Gently, ticklishly.
The Duke pecked the girl's lips lightly, but as if he was fascinated, he pecked her again and again.
Noticing that the little female's tears were gradually stopping, he twitched his lips slightly. It turned out that...
She likes kisses.
The Duke used his hands to lift her up from his side and made her sit face-to-face in his arms.
Yu Zhizhi instinctively hugged the person in front of her, she was afraid of falling into the water.
Before she could react, she felt the Duke holding her waist tightly, holding the back of her head with his other hand, and leaning down to kiss her.
This time, it was not a shallow peck to test the waters, but a deep attachment.
The unique sweet jasmine scent on the little female, he savored it carefully, it was as tender and affectionate as a lover in love.
—Comfort her.
I want her to forget the unpleasantness of tonight.
I hope she can be happier.
Yu Zhizhi was confused at first. She didn't expect the Duke to take the initiative...
His cold fingers gently stroked her smooth back.
She sat on the Duke's lap, her toes touching the hot water below her, and she couldn't stop shivering.
Yu Zhizhi felt like her whole body was melting.
The rabbit ears shrank shyly...
Blushing heartbeat.
The Duke ended this long kiss. His voice was hoarse, and his golden vertical pupils were filled with desire: "Do you want it?"
Like a devil holding a poisoned apple, asking a lost girl.
There is a hidden temptation in his words.
[The 7pm update was blocked~ I will slowly revise it and post a small chapter first]
Thank you for your votes, dears~
Thank you [Book Friend 8215] for the 400 points~
See you tomorrow!
Chapter 57 Missing.
He felt lonely at night these days without her.
I miss her breath, her body temperature, her voice, her heartbeat...
Miss everything about her.
The Duke was struggling with his own ideas. He shouldn't have any feelings for his pets, at least not for females other than the snake clan.
But at this moment, all of this was forgotten.
Facing the Duke's question, Yu Zhizhi curled her toes slightly, and said in a soft voice: "...I want to."
She responded in a very quiet voice.
Some things are really hard to say.
The Duke's golden vertical pupils gradually dimmed, and as the girl breathed, the fragrance of her body was full of temptation.
Yu Zhizhi became a little bolder.
She wanted to get the job done.
So she moved forward and raised her head, just enough to kiss the man's Adam's apple.
"I want..."
She was afraid that the other party didn't hear clearly.
Humming again.
Feeling the little female's needs and attachment, ripples appeared in his heart, and he admitted that he liked her initiative.
The Duke held the little female in his arms tightly, rubbing her soft waist gently with his fingertips, and lowered his head to lick her shoulder.
The scent of jasmine became more and more obvious where my eyes fell.
His throat rolled.
"...Hmm." Yu Zhizhi groaned and hugged the person in front of her.
She was held in the other person's arms, face to face, and her rabbit eyes gradually turned red.
The moonlight swayed in the steaming water.
The delicate shadow of a flower rises and falls.
…
Suddenly I felt cold.
The wind in the middle of the night blows through the tips of my hair, bringing a slight chill.
The moon hid in the fog.
Yu Zhizhi also hid in the water, the hot water overflowed over her shoulders, and her heart was beating wildly.
The Duke sat by the pool, his dark purple robe opened wide. He looked at the little female hiding in the water, his voice full of lust.
"What are you hiding from?"
"...No more." Yu Zhizhi blushed. The water was hot and the heat gave her a sense of security.
The Duke chuckled: "Where are we now?"
…
At daybreak, she was carried back into the house.
Yu Zhizhi buried her face in the quilt. She felt sore all over that she barely had the strength to speak.
The Duke, who had always been unmoved by her "seduction", seemed to have opened Pandora's box and took her many times in the water without getting tired.
At this moment, seeing that she only remembered to hide her body but forgot the white rabbit ears exposed, the Duke couldn't help laughing.
"Get some sleep."
The man's voice was full of satisfaction after a meal: "Wake up, go meet them. The two distinguished guests from the K family seem to have something to say to you."
During the dinner, they specifically asked about Yu Zhizhi's situation.
I heard that something went wrong with the monster of the K family, but the matter is very secretive, and I'm afraid that no one knows the details except the current acting leader.
Yu Zhizhi heard the Duke's footsteps leaving.
He changed his clothes and went out directly...
[Did it work?]
She couldn't help but mutter to herself.
But she knew that it would take a week to detect whether she was pregnant.
[System: Host, please wait patiently. ]
After so many times last night, there shouldn't be any problem.
Yu Zhizhi slept until the evening, and when she turned over, she felt sore waist and legs. Her throat was dry, and she struggled to get up, and found that tea had been placed on the bedside table in advance.
Clear and fragrant bamboo leaf tea.
It is the favorite flavor of snakes.
Yu Zhizhi sat beside the bed, holding the glass teacup and drinking it in small sips.
I can't help but think of the Duke...
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
The last chapter of today~
Let's see if it can pass the review QAQ
Darlings, see you tomorrow!
Chapter 58 Tang Luoke's Gift.
The voice of the hamster maid came from outside: "Miss Zhizhi, are you awake?"
She heard some noise in the house.
Yu Zhizhi said softly, "Please come in."
The hamster maid at the door came in and said with a smile: "Teacher Dai Li asked me to help Miss Zhizhi get up~"
On the soft bed, the gauze curtains swayed slightly in the wind.
Yu Zhizhi pinched the quilt with one hand and nodded slightly.
When the hamster maid came closer, she noticed the red marks on her shoulders and neck, and couldn't help but smile.
She really liked Miss Zhizhi~
this S-rank female of the empire. Although she was of such a noble status, she treated her servants very well and never made fun of them.
It would be great if Miss Zhizhi could stay in the Duke's Mansion forever!
Teacher Dai Li said that she is now Miss Zhizhi's personal servant!
Yu Zhizhi changed into a light purple gauze dress. She sat in front of the dressing table and saw the marks on her neck. She couldn't help but pick up the brush and dipped it in powder.
She brushed lightly and covered it with gouache.
The hamster maid was combing her hair.
After finishing, he said softly, "After dinner, we have to go meet the guests. Lord Nad and Lord Nar of the K family are waiting in the reception room."
"Hmm~"
The Duke told her in advance.
She had met Donald once in private before, so she had some impression of him.
For Donald...
Yu Zhizhi is very unfamiliar.
They had never met in private, but she still remembered the day she stepped onto the platform and the pair of identical white wolves standing at the door.
Donald is the current acting head of the K family and handles all affairs of the K family.
Donald is his twin brother.
Although they look the same, their personalities are completely different.
"By the way, how is Ping'an?" Yu Zhizhi came to the dining table and asked hurriedly.
The hamster maid smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Zhizhi, Ping An is fine. He is now in the ward, receiving 24-hour treatment and care. He woke up once two hours ago, drank a lot of nutrient solution, and is now asleep again."
woke up…
It seems that the rabbit boy was not exaggerating, he really cured the wild dog.
That's great.
Yu Zhizhi sincerely hopes that the stray dogs are safe.
In addition to personal emotions, there are also side quests.
In another week, if she completes the side quest, she will get the [Teleportation Scroll] she has been longing for.
"The Duke also said..." The hamster maid brought a small bowl of nourishing medicinal food, "When his illness is completely cured, he will be allowed to guard the library."
Yu Zhizhi picked up the spoon and drank the soup slowly.
The meal is over.
Led by the maid, Yu Zhizhi walked towards the reception room.
The soft sunset cast a layer of pale gold on the ground. She saw the golden tree in the courtyard of the living room again.
Across the yard, there was Donal standing by the door.
He was wearing a dark green uniform, with a bright smile on his face, and his white hair looked like a thin layer of snow.
"Good evening, Miss Zhizhi."
Yu Zhizhi lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and bowed gently. The wolf youth stood up straight, placed his right hand across his chest, and bowed to return the greeting.
Arriving at the door of the reception room, she looked inside and saw no one else except the servants.
Donal knew what she was thinking and said with a smile, "My brother is busy today, so I will take over. Please -"
Yu Zhizhi walked into the reception room and sat on a chair. A butler came over with some tea and snacks and filled her glass.
"Is it good to live here?"
Donal asked straight to the point: "How does Duke Bolan treat you? If you don't like it, the K family welcomes you back at any time."
The wolf youth spoke in a familial tone.
His ruby eyes, always smiling, made people want to get close to him.
"The Duke..." Yu Zhizhi paused and nodded, "He treats me very well. I, I will stay for a while longer."
Don Nar K said nothing more.
He stretched out his hand and the follower beside him handed him something.
The wolf youth slowly walked up to the girl and said, "This is what Tang Luoke asked us to bring to you."
"What is this?" Yu Zhizhi took something wrapped in black cloth.
"He said - it's a gift."
Gift?
Yu Zhizhi removed the black cloth, revealing an exquisite drawing board.
She slowly turned it over and saw the abstract pattern on the canvas -
In the boundless spreading black, there is a faint red figure with bared fangs and claws, like a demon; then there is a small white figure with a strange shape, but a pair of rabbit ears are particularly obvious.
This painting is very sloppy.
It's hard to understand.
Yu Zhizhi picked up the teacup with one hand and took a sip of tea.
The red shadow caught a glimpse of it from the corner of my eye, and I felt it was extremely terrifying. It was like a huge evil beast, with its fangs piercing through the white rabbit's body.
She seemed to understand something.
His hand shook and all the tea spilled out, flowing down his chin and onto his neck.
The servant beside him quickly handed over a clean handkerchief.
Yu Zhizhi put down the teacup.
Her heart was pounding. She took the handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then slowly wiped her neck.
His eyes were fixed on the painting.
This giant red shadow represents Tang Luoke himself.
And the white balls—
Its rabbit ears are very clear and the meaning is vivid.
Why did Tang Luoke send this painting? Was it a threat, a warning, or a foreshadowing?
Besides that, there was also a strong...
desire.
Yu Zhizhi didn't know.
She just wiped the spilled tea stains in confusion, her rabbit eyes looking very innocent.
The young wolf smiled as he watched the change in the expression of the little female rabbit.
From confusion to fear, and then to the innocent and pitiful look now. She held the painting, slowly wiped her neck with a handkerchief, and gradually...
After the gouache was wiped off, the ambiguous red mark was particularly vivid, as if it was branded on her snow-white neck.
A hint of ambiguous smile flashed across Donald's deep red eyes.
This is really...
He didn't expect it.
Duke Bolan had an almost pathological obsession with cleanliness when it came to choosing a mate. Over the years, no matter how the King tried to persuade him, he was unwilling to choose a female other than the snake clan.
Perhaps in his mind, all those outside the snake clan are aliens.
In the eyes of the snake clan, the rabbit clan is so weak that they can barely even be considered food.
The little female in front of him was wearing a light purple corseted long skirt, looking delicate and cute. The lace headband was also the same color, and her two rabbit ears were erected. If there weren't so many servants around, Donald really wanted to pinch her.
Especially the red mark on her neck...
It's very imaginative.
"Miss Zhizhi, are you curious about Tang Luoke's situation?"
Yu Zhizhi held the drawing board. She looked up at the wolf youth in front of her and asked softly, "How is he...?"
It has been almost a month since I left the K family.
When she left, Tang Luoke had not come out yet.
Now…
Donal smiled slightly: "His mental state has deteriorated and is now under strict control. The family is urgently developing drugs."
"After hearing the news about you this time, he asked me to bring you a message."
There will be another chapter at 7pm!
Yesterday's chapter was blocked for review, so it was over an hour late.
Tofu pudding is usually on time!
If nothing unexpected happens, see you at 7pm~
(End of this chapter) Chapter 59: Caring for Snakes.
Don Luke asked someone to bring her this message...
Hearing this, Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but become nervous.
She looked at the white-haired young man in front of her, and saw his ruby-like wolf eyes. She smiled obviously, but her voice was deliberately lowered a few degrees.
"Don't get caught by me."
He imitated it word for word, even the laugh at the end.
"Hehe~"
Yu Zhizhi shuddered suddenly and almost dropped the painting in her hands.
Donald returned to his normal self and looked at her with a smile: "Whenever you want to come back, just come back anytime. We always welcome you."
Rabbits are timid, so you need to treat them gently.
At present, other forces in the empire are ready to make a move...
Everyone wants to compete for the beast husband of the S-rank female rabbit.
Yu Zhizhi straightened the drawing board and forced a smile.
With Tang Luoke around, she didn't dare go back.
Moreover, we still don't know what the fourth main mission is.
Donald sat back in his seat, picked up his tea and blew gently: "What happened last night has spread throughout the empire today."
When this matter was mentioned, Donald's expression turned cold for a rare time.
"Earl Grey has been disgraced. The White Snake Clan has kicked him out of their family tree. His headless body has been thrown into a mass grave to be eaten by vultures. No orc is allowed to bury him in water."
On the Beast World planet, it is customary for orcs to be buried in water after their death.
Their philosophy is -
【Everything comes from the ocean.】
[After death, the soul should also return to the bottom of the sea. 】
For orcs, not being able to be buried at water is equivalent to falling into the Avici Hell, where the soul will never be at peace.
Donnell continued, "His fans have been deceived by his disguise and they want to burn down his mansion."
"Some cried bitterly, unable to accept the collapse of their idols."
In any case, Earl Grey lost all his reputation overnight, which was quite gratifying.
Many orcs present spared no effort in posting to publicize what happened that night.
As he spoke, he was full of admiration for the female rabbit who had exposed his hypocritical mask.
You know, the little female was in a very bad situation at that time.
Most of the orcs doubted her.
Who would believe that the gentle and humble Earl Grey would have murderous intentions towards the noble S-class female of the Empire?
But the evidence showed that she was not lying.
Yu Zhizhi held the drawing board quietly. It was good that Earl Grey received the punishment he deserved. The thirteen bodies hidden in the ice cellar could also rest in peace.
Thinking that I had also been deceived by Earl Grey's appearance...
Yu Zhizhi felt from the bottom of her heart that he was warm and kind, and it was very comfortable to get along with him. The Duke had been unable to conquer her, so she really placed her last hope on Earl Grey.
fortunately…
I didn't follow him blindly.
Seeing the little rabbit's pale face, Donald knew that she had not yet recovered from what happened last night.
"I don't have anything else to say. If Miss Zhizhi didn't sleep well, you can go back and continue to rest."
Yu Zhizhi stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the house first."
"Hmm~"
On the way back, Yu Zhizhi walked very slowly. The aches and pains in her body had not gone away, and she felt that she had not slept well. Now she wished she could fly back to the study and sleep for another three days and three nights.
The hamster maid followed her and took the drawing board from her.
I looked at it for a long time.
I didn't understand the content of the painting.
It is so abstract, black, red and white are all mixed together, and I have no idea what the orc who painted it was thinking.
It's the white one with two ears, like a rabbit.
When Yu Zhizhi returned, the guard outside the courtyard whispered:
"Miss Zhizhi, please walk more quietly. The Duke... is sleeping."
After hearing this, the hamster maid did not enter the yard.
Yu Zhizhi nodded.
She stepped over the threshold and walked along the corridor beside the pool to the door of the study.
He took off his shoes and walked into the house slowly.
It was already evening when I got up.
It was just getting dark and there was no light in the study.
There was freshly boiled tea on the desk, bubbling with the sound of gurgling.
Yu Zhizhi didn't see the Duke.
She walked behind the curtain and found the man. He hadn't changed his clothes yet, and was wearing the dark blue noble dress he wore when he went out. He leaned against the door, as if taking a nap.
Next to him was a long and thin pipe.
In the night, the man's eyebrows and eyes were delicate and handsome, less lazy and evil than during the day, and more easy-going and gentle.
When I got closer, I found that he might be really tired.
I didn't sleep last night.
I left in a hurry early in the morning and now I have a rare chance to close my eyes and rest.
But there was a little sweat on his forehead.
Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but take out her handkerchief and wipe it gently.
The Duke, who was dozing off, gradually woke up. A trace of pain flashed across his golden vertical pupils. He smelled the faint scent of jasmine milk coming from in front of him. He looked over and saw the little female who had returned from the living room wiping her sweat.
"Are you having a nightmare?" Yu Zhizhi asked softly.
"Um."
He unbuttoned a metal button in front of his clothes, letting the evening breeze blow into his clothes. He was sweating too much and felt very uncomfortable.
Yu Zhizhi wiped the sweat off his forehead.
She thought that the Duke always liked to hug her, perhaps because he often had nightmares.
After hesitating for a moment, she knelt on her knees, straightened her upper body, and hugged the man sitting in front of her.
Just like...
He held me gently, just like he used to hold me, and stroked my head with his palm, over and over again, as if to comfort me.
The Duke's golden vertical pupils were slightly startled.
The little female was holding him.
Comforting him.
Perhaps due to his childhood experiences, he longed for physical contact, but due to his aversion to other races, he could not accept females other than the snake clan.
However, snakes are cold-blooded animals.
No temperature.
He doesn't like it.
The rabbit in front of him was so soft and fragrant, with a scent of jasmine mixed with a hint of milk, which became more and more obvious.
I became more and more addicted to her scent.
The Duke buried his face in front of her, and couldn't help but stretch out his hands and hug her waist tightly.
It is fragrant and soft, with a slender waist that seems like it would break with a slight bend.
I want to make her rounder.
But she ate too little.
He had to think of a way...
"Will this be better?" Yu Zhizhi asked softly.
The Duke could not help laughing.
"How can it be cured?"
He slept for a while, and the little female came, arousing the desire in his heart.
Once something breaks through the constraints of the heart, it will become unbridled. Zero times, or countless times, there is no middle ground.
only…
The Duke slowly loosened his hand, stroked the little female's head, and let her sit down beside him.
He leaned against the door, enjoying the evening breeze, and lit the slender pipe beside him.
Yu Zhizhi leaned quietly in his arms.
"There is one thing I need to tell you in advance."
The Duke's voice was slightly hoarse, with a rare hint of seriousness: "I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what?"
Yu Zhizhi looked at him blankly.
Why did the Duke apologize all of a sudden?
Thank you for your recommendation votes~monthly votes~Xiaoxiang votes~~
Thank you [book friend 8215] for the 100 points reward^_^
See you tomorrow at noon!
Chapter 60 "I'm pregnant~"
The moonlight was silent and the air was filled with smoke.
The Duke took a puff of cigarette and stared at the lake in the distance: "As for me, I will not choose any other tribe as my wife except the female snake tribe."
This was the idea that had been instilled in him since birth.
His mother is the most noble female in the snake clan, and his father is the most powerful male in the snake clan.
They had eleven children together.
Among them, only the Duke was extremely obsessed with cleanliness and found it difficult to accept that his wife was from another ethnic group.
Bolan couldn't remember when it started.
It seemed like overnight.
He had this stubborn idea.
The Duke took a puff on the slender pipe in his hand and glanced at the expression of the little female in his arms. Seeing that she was a little confused, he was afraid that she didn't understand, so he spoke more clearly.
"I will not run for your beastly husband."
Even if they were close to each other, even if they had a baby—
He also will not mate with females from other groups.
Including the rabbit tribe.
"Hmm~" Yu Zhizhi understood.
She nodded.
The Duke looked at her expression carefully, afraid to see her sad, but also afraid not to see her sad.
Seeing that the little female didn't react much, he felt a little uncomfortable.
But, this is also okay.
He could tell her his true thoughts without any hesitation.
"When will you decide on your first beast husband? His Majesty the King attaches great importance to it. I will personally keep an eye on this matter, and later-"
The Duke lowered his voice a little: "When I think you can leave one day, I will prepare a wedding for you and personally send you to the church."
Wait until he is no longer attached to this little pet.
Wait till he gets tired of it.
Wait until he finds a replacement.
Or, wait until he stops having nightmares.
Wait until he meets the female snake he likes.
etc…
The Duke didn't know the exact day, but he felt that day might come soon.
Well, before that.
He hopes the little female can stay with him forever.
"Well…" Yu Zhizhi responded softly: "Thank you."
The pipe in the Duke's hand trembled slightly. He thought he had heard wrongly. He lowered his head and stared at the little female in his arms, squinting his eyes unconsciously.
How can it be a thank you?
Shouldn't I be angry?
Her reaction was as if she had never considered me being her beastly husband.
The Duke didn't want to delve into the reasons for the flash of depression in his heart.
He held the pipe with a slight force, and his knuckles turned pale.
The Duke said nothing.
Afraid he would misunderstand.
Yu Zhizhi wanted to say that she was not a sticky person and she insisted that he take responsibility.
after all…
Conquering him is a task assigned by the system.
To be honest, she was the one who concealed the truth.
She raised her head and looked at the man in front of her seriously, word by word -
"You said I was your pet. Lord Bolan, don't worry, I will always remember my identity and will never overstep it."
This is what the Duke once said to her.
Let her remember who she is.
Don't overthink it.
Now the Duke heard these words again and found them very offensive.
He had a gloomy face, smoked silently, and didn't respond for a long time.
There was a moment—
The Duke thought that the little rabbit did it on purpose,
but she was definitely not that kind of person.
He can't speak ambiguously and is full of ulterior motives.
Her joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are all shown on her face.
After a long time.
Yu Zhizhi heard the Duke's helpless sigh, he lowered his head helplessly and kissed the little female's forehead.
"It used to be a pet."
"Now…"
"An additional identity."
Yu Zhizhi's rabbit ears moved slightly, and she asked curiously, "What is it?"
The Duke pinched her cheek with his fingertips, and his voice returned to his usual lazy tone: "Lover."
She is a pet and a lover.
He was too lazy to think about what happened after that.
It seems that even if we don't want, time can be frozen forever tonight.
—The wind tonight makes me sleep well.
Yu Zhizhi looked up at the man's golden snake eyes. She actually felt a little shy being stared at by him like this.
The Duke bent down and kissed her.
He took a drag on his cigarette.
Lower your head again.
A faint smell of cigarettes spread between her lips and teeth. Yu Zhizhi tilted her neck back, enduring this slightly aggressive kiss.
Yu Zhizhi grabbed the collar of the Duke's dark blue dress with both hands. The Duke's eyes dimmed. He reached behind her with his right hand and slowly untied the waist of her light purple dress.
"Do, do what..." Yu Zhizhi held down his restless hands.
The Duke chuckled, "Do what lovers should do."
…
In the second half of the night, the Duke took Yu Zhizhi to the bathhouse to clean herself.
Wash it and bring it back to bed.
The Duke embraced her from behind.
Yu Zhizhi placed her hand gently on her lower abdomen, murmuring in her heart -
[Should it be successful? ]
The frequency of the past two days was really too high. She was now completely limp, lying on the bed and not wanting to move at all.
The Duke behind him fell asleep.
Yu Zhizhi was too sleepy to open her eyes and gradually fell asleep.
In the following days, the meals in the library became more frequent, with five meals a day and sometimes midnight snacks.
After a week, I finally heard the sound of the system.
[System: Congratulations to the host, pregnancy has been detected. Please rest assured and take care of the baby. ]
—That's great!
Yu Zhizhi is very happy.
After conception, the countdown was frozen. When the baby was born, the mission was completely completed!
She sat at the dining table, holding the spoon, and couldn't eat the fish balls in front of her. When the Duke came back, he saw that she had left a lot of food.
Before he could say anything, he saw the little female running towards him with eager eyes.
Yu Zhizhi took the man's hand and whispered, "I'm pregnant~"
"?" There was a moment of surprise in the Duke's eyes.
—How long has it been?
It takes a long time for the Beast World Planet to conceive.
This little rabbit is already pregnant? ?
The Duke's golden vertical pupils fell on her flat abdomen: "...Mine?"
Yu Zhizhi was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head and her cheeks turned pink.
"Of course it's yours. During this time... there are no other males."
She said it very subtly.
A smile appeared in the Duke's eyes. He put his arm around the little female's shoulders and walked towards the dining table.
"Since you're pregnant, you should eat more."
"oh…"
After dinner.
The old doctor came to take Yu Zhizhi's pulse.
He reminded her of some things. The weather was getting hotter. Although it was spring all year round in the imperial city, she should be careful not to sweat too much.
This is not good for the baby in the belly.
In addition, pregnant females should take more walks.
Three days later.
Accompanied by her hamster maid, Yu Zhizhi was walking slowly beside the pond in the study. Suddenly, she heard a system prompt.
[System: Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest "Save the Wild Dogs"! Rewards are being distributed! ]
[System: Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a "Teleportation Scroll (Single)"! ]
[System: The host can open the inventory and click to query or use. ]
It's time for side quests!
Counting the time, the wild dog has lived for more than a month!
Yu Zhizhi sat in the pavilion on the pretext of something, and the hamster maid went to bring her some fruit.
She summoned a light blue floating inventory.
I discovered that there was a glowing golden scroll inside, which was slowly spinning.
Yu Zhizhi couldn't wait to click it—
There is another chapter at 7pm~ Chapter 61 Want to protect her.
The golden teleportation scroll slowly unfolds.
Inside was a complete map that depicted the entire Beast World planet.
Item information appears below—
[Name: Teleportation Scroll (Single)]
[Introduction: You can select an unlocked location and teleport quickly. ]
[Tip: The transmission time is ten seconds. You may feel dizzy and nauseous during the process, which is normal.]
[Note: A small part of the unlocked areas can be redeemed with points. ]
Yu Zhizhi roughly understood the usage of this scroll.
She looked carefully at the map in the painting.
Yu Zhizhi found her location [Valoran Empire·Imperial City] and clicked on it to see a more detailed description of the area.
There is a small note next to the Imperial City:
The unlocked areas are [K Family] [Duke's Mansion].
Yu Zhizhi was stunned.
The teleportation scroll is convenient to use, but the requirements are very strict.
"Unlock" should refer to the places she has been to.
In the K family and the Duke's Mansion, you can choose any unlocked scene as your base.
All other places are unlocked.
If you want to go, you need to redeem your points in the mall.
Yu Zhizhi looked at it for a long time.
She found the location of the Cangshan Empire.
It is very far away from the Valoran Empire.
In the lower right corner, there is an area marked in purple font—
【Host Territory】
Yu Zhizhi thought of her previous reward, which included an unlocked foundation. Could it be that this was the area where she could settle down in the future?
Hearing footsteps, she put away the scroll.
The system panel disappears.
The hamster maid brought a plate of fruit, including grapes, apples, watermelons, and bananas. She placed it on the table in the gazebo and said with a big smile, "Miss Zhizhi seems to be very happy."
Yu Zhizhi smiled slightly: "The wind is very comfortable today."
"Yes, the weather in the Imperial City is always very good."
Here, it is spring all year round.
What's the world like outside...
Yu Zhizhi has never seen it before.
I just heard that things are not peaceful. It seems that many places are invaded by monsters, and the mutations caused by pollution sources have also caused many forces to be attacked from all sides.
With this scroll, Yu Zhizhi has the right to choose.
Although many places have not been visited and have not yet been unlocked.
But as long as it can be redeemed with points, it will definitely come in handy at the critical moment.
She thought of wild dogs.
This side quest is the reward for saving his life.
"Let's go check on Ping An~"
Yu Zhizhi picked up an apple.
Hamster maid: "Okay, Miss Zhizhi, please follow me."
The Duke's territory was very large, and after leaving the library yard, the maid found an open carriage.
Yu Zhizhi sat on it.
The wild dogs are now housed in the territory's medical ward, a building near the lake with vermilion eaves and gray walls.
The hamster maid led the way.
The doctors and nurses whom I met by chance all bowed respectfully.
In their opinion, this noble female rabbit is likely to be the future duchess.
Yu Zhizhi came to the room where the wild dog lived.
He was leaning against the bed with a newspaper in his hand.
Hearing the footsteps, the furry ears on his head moved slightly. After confirming the identity of the person coming, his dark pupils were slightly startled.
"Hello~" Yu Zhizhi greeted him happily.
Haven't seen you for many days.
He has a very good complexion.
The wild dog raised his eyes and glanced quickly at the girl, then hid the newspaper.
"Yes."
The next second, a crimson apple was handed to him.
"Thank you." He took it, his voice hoarse.
Yu Zhizhi sat on a chair nearby and said softly, "I haven't formally thanked you for what happened last time. If it weren't for you, I might have died."
"unimportant."
The wild dog's eyes were cold.
She thought of that night in the utility room when he said that his life was worthless and death was not a pity.
Yu Zhizhi pursed her lips slightly and said solemnly: "But your life is very important to me."
The wild dog holds a red apple and its ears move slightly.
He didn't look up, not wanting the girl to see the emotions in his eyes.
This was the first time in his life that someone had said such words to him.
The hamster maid smiled admiringly at the side.
Miss Zhizhi was a very gentle female. Apart from her, no noble would care about the life and death of slaves.
I really hope that everything goes well for her in the future and that she will always be safe and happy.
It would be even better if she was willing to be a duchess~
"Then... do you have any wish?" Yu Zhizhi asked softly.
He saved himself.
The right thing to do is to cure him.
Besides, she wanted to be nicer to him.
"If you don't want to be a slave, I can-"
"No need." Wild Dog interrupted her.
This female rabbit seemed not to understand that being a slave was not her choice, but that without the [Golden Beast Bones], she could not have any other career except that of a slave.
He hid at his side, his hand holding the newspaper clenched slightly.
On the Beast World, males without fighting ability, like females without fertility, are the lowest beings.
In the Duke's mansion, besides serving tea and guarding the door at night, what else can he do? He
can't even patrol.
If he could awaken his dual abilities, he would not have been seriously injured by Earl Grey that night.
Even a male who usually only holds a pen can kill him with one sword. Even if he wants to be a guard, wants to protect—
[I want to protect her...]
No one has that ability.
Yu Zhizhi looked at the stray dog thoughtfully.
She nodded: "Then you eat the apple first, I will come to see you tomorrow."
Yu Zhizhi left.
The wild dog's eyes followed her figure.
After she left, he took out the hidden newspaper. The front page headline had a few big words written on it:
[Great turmoil in the Knights Alliance! ]
"Miss Zhizhi, are you thinking about Ping An?" the hamster maid asked curiously.
"Um…"
"If it is a wish, I think he must hope to awaken his mental strength and supernatural talents."
The hamster maid sighed: "But this is difficult. After all, the Valoran Empire has not awakened the evolutionary talent of the [Bright Moon Priesthood], so it is impossible to help him reshape the golden animal bones."
So, the wild dog didn't say what he thought.
Deep down in his heart, he felt that this was an impossible wish.
Yu Zhizhi murmured: "Let's find a way to give him freedom first, maybe there will be a turning point in the future..."
if-
[It would be great if she could awaken her evolutionary talent. ]
Enter the yard and return to the study.
As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I was restrained by a strong arm from behind.
The door was blown shut by a gust of wind.
Yu Zhizhi was startled. She held the arm across her neck with both hands. The Duke leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Your life is very important to me."
"Tell this Duke how important that wild dog is?"
"Um?"
Thanks for the votes, baby Meng~see you tomorrow!
[This map of the Beast World took Douhua a long time to make, hahaha~I am very happy to see the results! ]
Thanks to [Book Friend 8215] for giving 100 points! (*^▽^*)
Chapter 62 "Tame me."
There was a hint of ambiguous smile in the Duke's low and affectionate voice.
He held her tightly in his arms.
Yu Zhizhi said softly: "He saved me..."
"I hope he's OK."
The Duke had a pleasant smell of shower gel on him, his collar was wide open, her back was pressed tightly against his chest, and she could feel the man's strong heartbeat.
hiss…
She felt a sudden lick on her neck.
It feels so much like a snake!
"Is the apple delicious?"
The Duke's golden vertical pupils smiled: "Why don't you give me a gift?"
"Ah~" Yu Zhizhi reacted and gently tugged at the man's wide sleeves. "How about tomorrow? I need to think about what to give you."
He admitted it.
I felt very uncomfortable when I heard the report from my servants.
It was clearly just a stray dog.
He must be crazy.
Even an apple is of particular concern.
Hearing the soft voice of the little female, he relaxed: "...Okay."
"One more thing—"
Yu Zhizhi took the initiative to turn around and said, "I want to give him back his freedom. Is his indenture contract in the Duke's Mansion?"
"Yes. This is easy. I can give you this contract."
The Duke looked down at the little female in front of him: "But even if the contract is torn up and he leaves the Duke's Mansion as a free person, he will be captured by other orcs. Anything is possible."
Seeing a hint of confusion flash across Yu Zhizhi's watery eyes, the Duke couldn't help but pinch her fair little face.
"For male orcs, without power, there will never be freedom."
This is a planet where the strong prey on the weak and only the fittest survive.
The weak can only survive.
"At least he will be safe if he stays in the Duke's Mansion. I can find him an idle job, in the front hall, the kitchen, the garden—"
"Except the library," added the Duke.
Before, I was thinking of coming to the book house to look after the stray dog after its injury healed.
Now it seems that he needs to be sent to a farther place, the farther the better.
The Duke held her shoulders and walked towards the dining table in the next room. The table was full of delicious food, exuding an enticing aroma.
After he sat down, he pulled Yu Zhizhi into his arms.
"I haven't fed you for a long time." The Duke handed the spoon for soup to her lips and saw the little female lower her head obediently and drink it slowly.
"He might want to leave." Yu Zhizhi murmured.
The Duke's golden pupils flashed a faint smile: "You want to send him away?"
"Um…"
"I heard that many females in the territory often visit him in the ward, and there are too many flowers to put away."
—Can you bear to send him away?
That wild dog.
He has a good appearance.
The key is that it requires no mental power and is extremely easy to control.
In the eyes of some females, although he cannot be a bestial husband, he can still do other things.
After all, most females on the Beast World are very casual. If they have the choice, strong males can be their husbands to reproduce their genes, and good-looking males can be raised for their enjoyment.
As long as they are high enough level.
The laws of the empire support them in doing so.
The wild dogs, however, were only one level higher than the crippled males, and were suppressed by the many females in their rank, so they had no choice but to accept their fate in the face of them.
Mu Mu from the snake clan also took a fancy to him and wanted to take him home to raise, but he disagreed.
He was nearly beaten to death.
And now, Mu Mu has found a new male lover and takes him out to travel.
Yu Zhizhi held the noodles on her chopsticks while the Duke slowly fed her. The noodles were fragrant and the soup tasted delicious.
Hearing the Duke's words, she whispered, "I always feel that he doesn't want to stay here."
He probably doesn't like being locked up.
Otherwise I wouldn't have rejected Mu Mu.
The Duke put down the bowl, picked up the tissue, and gently wiped the corners of her mouth.
"Do you know Sun Ridge?"
Yu Zhizhi felt that the name was familiar. She thought about it and remembered that she had seen it on a map before.
"I know. It's not far from the World Tree."
The World Tree is the source of all power.
Not part of any empire.
The continent where the World Tree grows is an isolated island, with [Sun Ridge] and [Knights Alliance] on it.
"The Knights' Alliance is in chaos right now."
The Duke used a napkin to carefully wipe the girl's fingers. "The war is raging. It looks like it will take a long time."
"I heard that the Moon Rising Empire's [Bright Moon Priesthood] went to Sun Ridge. The wild dog's bones were taken away. If we can find the Bright Moon Priesthood, maybe it can be saved."
"However, it is very dangerous there. He has no mental strength. If he goes there, he will be in danger of death."
"If he eventually chooses to go..."
"I'll give him a pass and make sure he gets to Sun Ridge."
Yu Zhizhi understood.
She looked up at the man in front of her, who was concentrating on wiping her hands.
The Duke's dark purple robe was half open, his dark blue semi-long hair was slightly curled, his eyelids blocked his evil golden vertical pupils, his perfect jawline revealed his nobleness, and there was a smile at the corner of his mouth, lazy and uninhibited.
Yu Zhizhi felt a little touched.
"I…I thank you on his behalf."
The Duke paused for a moment, raised his eyes, and clenched the girl's hand: "You can't replace him."
She said this as if the wild dog was already hers.
The Duke put the tissue on the table after wiping.
He stroked the little female rabbit's lips: "Are you full?"
"I'm full."
"Well... now it's my turn to eat."
The next second, her lips were blocked.
Hmm—
Yu Zhizhi placed her hands on his chest and tried to push him away, but was restrained by his hand.
The Duke pulled up her two white wrists, and a ball of white smoke appeared and slowly coiled around her.
She sat there with her hands hanging as if by a rope.
Now, I can't move at all...
Gradually, a thin layer of red appeared on Yu Zhizhi's face. She bit her lip, but still groaned occasionally.
…
The second day.
Yu Zhizhi went to the ward again and conveyed the Duke's intention.
On the bed, the wild dog was stunned for a long time.
He never thought that one day he would be able to leave this place—
Seeing the girl sitting beside the bed with a sweet smile, she handed the [Sun Ridge Pass] to him.
The wild dog's gaze dropped, and the corners of his eyes became moist.
"Or..." Yu Zhizhi changed the subject, "If you are willing to stay in the Duke's Mansion, that's also good. In addition to guarding, there are many other positions."
If you go out, you may die without a burial place at any time.
"Thank you." Wild Dog held the golden and black pass.
He was determined to get to Sun Ridge.
Find the [Bright Moon Priesthood].
Even if it means selling your soul, you must become extremely powerful.
Death is also acceptable.
He was never afraid of death.
He was just afraid that he didn't have the strength and could only watch her get hurt.
The wild dogs are leaving.
According to the Duke's instructions, after Wild Dog makes a decision, a carriage will come to the door to pick him up.
Yu Zhizhi stood at the window of the ward and watched him get into the car.
The moment the wild dog got on the carriage, he looked back at the window of the ward and saw the girl waving at him with a smile.
He stared deeply into the face of the female rabbit, as if he wanted to carve her into his bones.
—She doesn't know.
He had made up his mind that night in the utility room.
If I can survive...
He fell in a pool of blood, and as his consciousness gradually faded, he whispered softly: "...Tame me."
In his long, dark years...
A rose bloomed in his dry heart.
He wanted very much—
【Protect his little rose. 】
"Miss Zhizhi, here is a letter for you." The hamster maid came over.
Hehe~ Chapter 2 will be updated at 7pm! "letter?"
Yu Zhizhi saw the kraft paper envelope and took it. The matte texture felt very comfortable to the touch.
But there is a seal on this letter.
Cannot be disassembled at the moment.
On the envelope, there were a few dark red, faintly glowing characters:
【Temple Alliance】
Yu Zhizhi murmured: "Why would they send me the letter?"
Yu Zhizhi had heard of this organization.
On the Beast World Planet, many people with rare supernatural talents will choose to join.
"How do I open this letter?" Yu Zhizhi was very curious about the contents of the letter.
"Once Miss Zhizhi awakens her spiritual power, she should be able to take it apart."
"So - can I have someone else unpack it for me?"
"No." The hamster maid said quickly: "This letter has the seal of the temple. It is not Miss Zhizhi herself. It is easy to be backfired."
"Hmm..." Yu Zhizhi nodded thoughtfully.
She looked toward the intersection.
The carriage carrying the guards had disappeared around the corner.
Yu Zhizhi held the letter in her hand and leaned against the window. She felt sad as she thought that she might never see a stray dog again.
It seems that when we come to this world, we have to learn how to say goodbye.
I hope he gets what he wants.
Please don't let anything happen.
The place he went to was Sun Ridge, where monsters were rampant. Like the [Temple Alliance], the [Knight Alliance], which did not belong to any force, was falling apart.
In this case, go to...
It's more likely to be a bad thing.
But I still hope he can succeed!
If he can find the [Bright Moon Priesthood] and re-evolve the [Golden Beast Bones], Wild Dog will be able to awaken his dual talents.
I heard that his ancestors were from a branch of the Daquan family, and he was born into a powerful family when he was young.
Later, his parents died in battle, and his golden animal bones were extracted by the elders of the tribe, and he became what he is now...
The battles between the families were brutal.
Without the protection of his loved ones, I really don't know how he survived.
If I could really evolve a new golden animal bone—
With his parents' genes, the talent he can awaken is likely to belong to the [First Sequence]!
The hamster maid sighed: "He is so brave."
If it were him, he would definitely not choose to leave the Duke's Mansion. In this situation, he has done a favor to Miss Zhizhi, and the Duke's Mansion will take good care of him.
It's so dangerous outside.
Not to mention Sun Ridge, even if you leave the Imperial City of Valoran, you may die at any time.
Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but touch her belly.
The main task will be completed only after the snake cubs are successfully born. I wonder how many points I will be rewarded then?
Oh, by the way,
she also has to prepare a gift for the Duke.
I promised him yesterday.
But-
The Duke has everything he needs, so what should she give him?
"Is there a market or something like that? I'd like to go shopping."
"Yes, Miss Zhizhi, today is the weekend, and the market in the Imperial City is very busy - I'll go get the car ready."
"good."
Yu Zhizhi has never gone out since she came to the Duke's Mansion.
As for the Imperial City, she didn't know what it looked like.
In the past, the K family's territory had everything, but no one would take her out for a walk.
The hamster maid came over quickly, and with her was the captain of the guard Geo.
Yu Zhizhi saw that a whole guard team came down from the building, with about twenty guards.
So many people?
Seeing Yu Zhizhi's slightly surprised expression, Guard Captain Jiao smiled and explained: "Miss Zhizhi, you have a special identity, we must ensure your safety 100%, so there are a few more guards accompanying you, please forgive me."
The imperial city is prosperous and bustling, but it also hides mysteries.
In particular, after the last Earl Grey incident, Geo was fined half a year's salary and received forty military sticks.
He had just recovered from his injuries, and was guarding Yu Zhizhi with all his heart and responsibility.
Yu Zhizhi got into the spacious carriage.
Captain Geo, the guard, hung a dark blue lantern with the Duke's Palace logo in front of the carriage.
The group headed to the Imperial City Market.
It was Yu Zhizhi's first time out, and when she heard the noisy noise, she couldn't help but lift the car curtain.
The buildings on both sides are tall and ornate, with staggered towers and painted canvases.
Various strange decorations are hung on the eaves at the entrance of the store.
The orcs on the road were wearing various costumes and had different appearances.
There is a shop directly opposite, with many exotic items displayed at the door.
"Let's choose this one." Yu Zhizhi said softly.
The carriage slowly stopped.
Geo lowered the steps and Yu Zhizhi got out of the car. The orcs passing by all looked sideways at this noble female.
She was wearing a light blue corseted long dress today, with snowy skin and starry eyes, long hair scattered behind her, and white rabbit ears standing quietly, making the animals unable to take their eyes off her.
The guards stayed by her side diligently.
Ordinary orcs dare not approach.
Everyone make way.
The shop owner was wearing a half eye patch and holding a cane. He looked about fifty years old. He saluted gracefully: "Miss, what can I do for you?"
Being able to open a store in the imperial city market, you can keep your eyes and ears open in all directions.
He had already discovered that the female in front of him came in the carriage of the Duke's Palace.
Even if it's not the snake clan.
Her status is either rich or noble.
Looking at the row of guards behind her, with such a large presence, they must be distinguished guests from the Duke's Mansion.
—Don't be negligent.
Yu Zhizhi looked at the various products in the store and said, "I want to buy something as a gift."
"Excuse me, miss, are you going to give me a male or a female?"
"male."
"Which ethnic group?"
"snake."
Male, snake, the Duke's carriage...
The shopkeeper's eyes twitched slightly. Could it be that this beautiful and lovely rabbit lady was going to buy a gift for the most distinguished duke of the Valoran Empire?
His little shop was really a great honor...
Just as the shop owner was considering whether to take out the store's treasure, a sneer came from the side.
"Lord Bolan's birthday is coming soon. Are you afraid of being kicked out of the Duke's Mansion by trying to curry favor with him?"
The shopkeeper was startled and turned around quickly. There was another distinguished guest behind him.
This young and beautiful female snake was wearing a light golden aristocratic fluffy long skirt and holding a white lace umbrella. She had dark curly hair like a waterfall and her golden pupils were luxurious and charming, but her tone sounded full of arrogance.
The attendant behind her said sternly, "What are you looking at? Princess Fei'er is here, why don't you kneel down quickly!"
—Your Highness Fei'er!
The shopkeeper took a deep breath and knelt down quickly.
The orcs standing at the door all knelt on the ground after they realized what was happening.
Among them are the guards of the Duke's Mansion and the hamster maid.
In a blink of an eye, Yu Zhizhi was the only one standing alone.
The hamster maid trembled.
A large group of orcs were kneeling outside the door, with their heads bowed to the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
The shop owner is the closest.
He muttered in his heart -
[Isn't this rabbit lady afraid of death? ]
Yu Zhizhi looked at the crawling figures around her in confusion, and then she heard the sound of heels stepping on the wooden floor, gradually approaching her.
"Why, do you look down on me?" The arrogant female snake stared at the girl in front of her with displeasure. She sneered, "Someone, break her legs!"
"puff-"
A sudden laugh was heard from the herd.
"Hahaha…"
"Ahem! Sorry, I couldn't help it for a moment."
The young man sat on the roof of the carriage, swinging his legs, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers - it was unclear whether he had just woken up or they were tears from laughing.
He said sleepily, "Your Highness, I advise you not to provoke this little female."
"Otherwise, you will regret it."
Thank you for the recommendation votes, monthly votes, and Xiaoxiang votes from Baobei Meng! Bobobo!
Thank you for [Jie] for the 200-point reward
. Meet Baobei Meng on time at 12 noon tomorrow! Chapter 64 "She is pregnant with the Duke's child."
As a top noble of the snake clan, Fei'er was adopted by the royal family of the Valoran Empire since childhood, and is now the most favored and honorable princess of the empire.
Glancing at the figure of the rabbit tribe's genius, she shrank her golden pupils in displeasure.
"Noel, are you still asleep? Listen to what you are saying."
"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I slept well last night. However, Your Highness has been in the Moon Rising Empire for a long time, so you may not know—"
"I know!" The female snake interrupted him impatiently, "She is the Duke's pet!"
"You don't know." The young man held his chin with one hand and said leisurely, "She is pregnant with the Duke's child."
Noel from the rabbit tribe said word by word: "According to the laws of the empire, pregnant females do not need to pay homage to any nobles, including the royal family."
"You want to punish her? And break her legs? The Female Protection Association will sue you in the Holy Law Hall. Even if you are a princess of the Empire, you will be punished with torture."
-What?!
Fei'er's golden eyes widened as she looked at the weak female rabbit in front of her in disbelief!
She was pregnant?! She
was actually the blood of the Duke of Platinum!?
All the orcs present could hear clearly the words of the rabbit tribe's genius.
The shop owner was shocked.
She had thought that this little female was of noble status, but she had never expected her to be so noble!
No wonder there are so many guards from the Duke's Mansion to escort you on your trip today.
Fei'er was so angry that her teeth were itching.
She stared gloomily at the girl in front of her. She had only been in the Moonrise Empire for half a year, but this hateful rabbit had gotten there first!
When they met at the market today, she originally thought that the Duke was just trying to be fresh and wanted to show him off, but she turned out to be pregnant! !
On the Beast World Planet, pregnant females enjoy all the privileges.
Even beyond their own class.
Whether it is C or S+, as long as they conceive, they will receive all-round care. Orcs who dare to embarrass them will be sued by the Female Protection Association to the Holy Law Hall—
That's not a good place.
No matter how arrogant a noble is, he will be skinned alive if he goes in.
No matter how angry Fei'er was, she had to take a few steps back.
What if this little rabbit had ulterior motives and fell on purpose? She would never be able to clear herself of this sin even if she jumped into the Yellow River!
"…snort."
Princess Fei'er held an umbrella, walked around, and deliberately chose the longest route to go out of the store.
She glanced at the little female rabbit coldly and said: "Even if you are pregnant with Duke Platinum's cub, he will not be your beastly husband."
"He's just playing with you!"
The orc who was kneeling at the door slowly stood up after Her Royal Highness the Princess walked away.
They looked at each other—
I didn't expect that I would hear big news while visiting the market!
The most distinguished duke in the empire actually had a child?! All we know is that he never married and adopted four children from the snake tribe.
If the rabbit lady is pregnant with the Duke's blood -
I should be able to inherit his talent perfectly!
This is a great joyous event for the Valoran Empire!
You know, the Duke has awakened the rare [Cloud] talent, and although his mental power has not been announced to the public, his overall rating has reached SSS+!
You can imagine how high his mental strength is!
Originally, only people in the Duke's Mansion knew about Yu Zhizhi's pregnancy.
Now the whole imperial city knows about it.
They looked at Yu Zhizhi again, their faces full of respect, and bowed to her as they left.
The shop owner wiped his hands again and again with a handkerchief, and his movements were very gentle when he leaned on a cane.
"Miss, if you want to give a gift to the Duke, I have a treasure that has just been shipped from Cangshan Mountain. Would you like to take a look?"
The Duke's birthday is coming soon.
The nobles of the empire were all buying gifts, and Her Highness Fei'er even went to the market to choose personally.
The little female rabbit in front of me must have the same feeling.
"Cangshan?" Yu Zhizhi was slightly startled. She shook her head gently: "...It seems not possible."
The Duke gave her the impression that he didn't like Cangshan very much.
I especially don't like her mentioning -
【Dracula.】
So far, no one seems to know his name.
Yu Zhizhi kept it in her heart and did not mention it to any orc.
She looked at the lucky bags hanging on the beams of the shop. Most of them were red and embroidered with retro and beautiful patterns.
Among them was an ink-blue embroidered blessing bag with retro blessing fonts on it, tied with a red ribbon, and the pendant underneath was a small copper coin.
Yu Zhizhi fell in love with him at first sight.
"I want that."
The shopkeeper looked in the direction she pointed, and when he found the lucky bag, a flash of realization flashed in his eyes: "Wait a moment, I'll get it for you, Miss."
In the Valoran Empire, lucky bags are used to pray for blessings from the gods, and are usually bought as gifts to one's loved one.
He forgot.
The relationship between the female in front of him and His Excellency the Duke is very close.
Even though Her Highness Fei'er's words were extremely harsh, they could not conceal the fact that the female rabbit was pregnant with the Duke's snake cub.
For this reason alone, even if they separate in the future, this young lady will always be a distinguished guest of the Duke's Mansion.
When the cubs grow up, they will be extremely filial to their mothers.
The store owner brought out the blue lucky bag.
Yu Zhizhi held it in her hands and examined it carefully before finally deciding on it.
besides.
Yu Zhizhi also asked for a red lucky bag.
The hamster maid paid.
Surrounded by her guards, she walked towards the carriage.
I looked up at the rabbit boy sitting on the roof. He had his legs crossed, his chin in his hand with boredom, and his eyes were indifferent.
Yu Zhizhi smiled at him, placed her hands on her chest and nodded slightly.
"Thank you for helping me today."
"You're welcome."
He just happened to be at the market today, saw the Duke's car, and wanted to take a ride. Then he saw a wonderful scene.
The spoiled Princess Fei'er of the empire is making things difficult for the little rabbit.
Publicly, as the pride of the rabbit tribe, he should protect his people. Privately, this little female rabbit aroused his interest, so naturally he didn't want her to suffer.
Yu Zhizhi groped in her arms and took out the things she had just bought in the store.
"This is for you."
Before, Noel had saved the wild dogs, but she never had the chance to thank him.
And just now he helped himself.
After choosing a gift for the Duke, she saw this beautiful red lucky bag and bought it as well.
Noel from the rabbit tribe was slightly startled.
He lowered his head.
Looking at the girl's raised right hand beside the car, her jade-like fingers were holding a red lucky bag, the silk on it fluttering in the wind.
The wind blew the hair on her cheeks, lifted her light blue skirt, and the lovely and bright smile on her face.
The guards around were all shocked.
The hamster maid almost dropped the various small objects in her hands to the ground.
Soon, they all turned their backs, not daring to look any further.
Guard Captain Geo was shocked.
Miss Zhizhi actually gave Lord Noel a lucky bag?
She...
[She likes Lord Noel? ]
Noel from the rabbit tribe stared at her for a long time, then raised his lips playfully: "Give it to me?"
"Yes." Yu Zhizhi nodded.
She was afraid that the boy on the roof of the car couldn't reach it.
So, stand on tiptoe.
There will be another update at 7pm! Chapter 65 I want to kiss her.
The weekend market is bustling and prosperous.
The wind rang the bell on the shop door, making it ring sweetly and crisply.
Noel looked into the girl's clear eyes. He stretched out his hand, bent down slightly, hooked his fingers on the red rope on the lucky bag, and pulled it gently. The object of blessing from the gods fell into his palm.
"It would be disrespectful to refuse it." The young man's voice was as clear as spring water. "I accept this kind gesture."
The little female rabbit doesn't seem to understand the true meaning of giving the lucky bag to the opposite sex.
But it doesn't matter.
He rubbed the golden embroidery on the lucky bag. The warm sunlight above his head made him feel sleepy.
The girl had already gotten into the carriage with the help of the hamster maid.
The guards had different expressions.
They dared not say anything more.
On the Beast World Planet, S-level females can indeed have multiple beast husbands, but only males of a lower level than her.
Whether it is Lord Duke or Lord Noel of the rabbit tribe, they are both males standing at the top of the tribe.
Miss Zhizhi is currently an S-rank female, and wants to have both of them at the same time...
I'm afraid not.
If she could advance to SS level, it would require the consent of both high-level males.
Don't say that Lord Noel doesn't want to.
Duke Bolan, how could you possibly give in?
His rank is so high that unless he is an SSS-level Saint Female—
Otherwise, the future Duchess will have to stay in the Duke's Mansion and behave herself.
However, on the Beast World planet today, there hasn't been a [Saint Female] for a hundred years.
On the way back, the hamster maid wanted to speak several times, but when she saw Miss Zhizhi quietly flipping through a book, she held back.
...What does Miss Zhizhi think?
she-
Don't you like the Duke?
But when they were together, they were obviously very close.
The hamster maid often serves in the study.
She can see it.
The Duke often held her in his arms wherever he went. Miss Zhizhi was like a newborn cub, curled up in his arms.
However, no matter who Miss Zhizhi likes in her heart, the hamster maid will bless her.
Because she is an S-level female!
She has the right to freely choose her spouse!
The carriage entered the Duke's Palace, drove a long distance, and slowly stopped outside the gate of the study courtyard.
After getting off the bus, Yu Zhizhi sneezed.
She rubbed her nose with her fingers: "I think I have a cold."
The wind in the imperial city has been blowing quite strongly these days.
The hamster maid bent down and said, "Miss Zhizhi, please come in first. I will make you a cup of ginger tea to warm you up."
"Thanks."
She returned to the room, went to the low desk and sat down on the cushion.
He put the half-read book in his hand on the table.
Yu Zhizhi felt a little sleepy.
She fell asleep on the desk, resting her head on her arms.
The hamster maid made ginger tea and saw that Miss Zhizhi was asleep, so she didn't disturb her. She still put the ginger tea on the small stove to keep it warm.
She retreated quietly and stood guard at the door.
It's getting dark.
The Duke appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and his guards and entourage saluted together.
He returned in the sunset, holding a few dark blue lotus in his hand.
As soon as I entered the study, I saw a little female sleeping on her stomach.
The Duke had a smile on his face as he slowly approached and placed the lotus in his hand into the vase on the table.
Yu Zhizhi was sleeping soundly.
He didn't say anything.
He just sat down quietly and stared at her intently.
The little pet's bunny ears are drooping.
There were some red marks on her fair cheeks from sleeping, and her long eyelashes were pressed tightly against her cheeks. She seemed to have had a good dream, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
Even when she's asleep, she's still so cute and adorable...
It felt like a fine strand of fluff had fallen on the tip of the Duke's heart, and a slight itch came from his heart.
The sun sets.
The room became dark.
The Duke's golden vertical pupils were deep. He leaned over, slowly approached, and placed a light kiss on her slightly upturned lips.
—Just want to kiss her.
At this moment.
Hmm...
In her sleep, Yu Zhizhi felt her lips were a little itchy and numb. She opened her eyes blearily and saw the vague outline of the Duke.
I found she was awake.
The Duke put his hand on the back of her neck, not letting her escape, and deepened the passion between their lips.
Yu Zhizhi felt that she was gradually unable to breathe, and her cheeks turned red. The other party slowly let go and licked her lips lovingly.
"You're back."
The little female's voice was as soft and sticky as if she had just woken up.
The Duke touched her cheek, pulled her up, and held her in his arms.
Yu Zhizhi's expression paused slightly, she stretched out her hands and hugged the man in front of her.
A quiet hug for a moment.
The Duke is in the palace today, troubled by many trivial matters, and he misses this little pet at home very much.
It seems that when I hold her in my arms, I can forget everything for a while.
He was addicted to this feeling.
Yu Zhizhi had been waiting for him to come back. She buried her face in the Duke's chest, raised her head, and whispered, "I...I brought you a gift."
The Duke stroked her rabbit ears: "What gift?"
He asked for it yesterday, and gave it to him today. This little pet is as well-behaved and obedient as ever.
Yu Zhizhi fumbled for a while and took out the blue lucky bag she bought during the day from her arms.
It was solemnly handed over to the Duke.
"I went to the market and saw this and it seemed like a good fit."
The Duke held a dark blue blessing bag with ancient prayer characters embroidered on it, and a hint of astonishment appeared in his golden vertical pupils.
Lucky bag?
Yu Zhizhi smiled at him.
This color suits the Duke very well.
The lotus planted in his yard is dark blue.
The Duke looked at the red rope tied on it, his throat moved slightly, then he looked at the little female and found that the smile on her face was a little dazzling in the dim room.
On the Beast World, the meaning of lucky bags is very romantic.
He clenched his fists, unable to lower the corners of his mouth.
"Didn't you say that you dare not forget your identity as a pet?"
Yu Zhizhi was stunned.
Why did the Duke suddenly ask this?
Doesn't he like this gift?
Just when she was wondering whether to ask for it back, she saw the Duke hung the dark blue lucky bag on the slender pipe he often used.
The falling blessing copper coins swayed slightly.
"It won't happen again." The Duke held his pipe and stared at the dark blue lucky bag hanging on the pipe, his pupils deep.
I made it very clear to the little female last time.
The relationship between them can only be that of lovers, with no possibility of going further.
but why…
Is he in a particularly good mood now?
The fatigue of the day was gone.
…
like?
Still don't like it?
Yu Zhizhi stared at him blankly, not understanding his thoughts for a moment.
But no matter what, the Duke accepted the gift.
"By the way, I received a letter today."
Yu Zhizhi took out the letter sent by the Temple Alliance.
The Duke glanced at the letter with his golden vertical pupils. The servant had already reported the letter. He didn't expect the little pet to be so frank.
"What will be in the letter?" Yu Zhizhi looked at him straight.
The little female's thoughts are written on her face.
"Want me to open it for you?" The Duke tapped the ash from his cigarette.
Yu Zhizhi nodded.
Thank you for your votes, baby Meng.
Thank you for [Tianjiang Bibi] for giving 300 points.
See you tomorrow at noon!
Chapter 66 Time to awaken.
"It's not impossible."
The Duke picked up the envelope, looked at the mark on it, and said in a lazy voice.
"But if you do that, it will break the rules of the Temple Alliance, and you might end up on their blacklist."
"The Temple Alliance rarely sends letters to orcs on their own initiative. This means that they think highly of you. It is also possible that they want to give you some 'benefits'."
"If you don't write it in person, the contents of the letter will not be fulfilled."
Yu Zhizhi probably understood.
She looked conflicted.
The Duke took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Well, do you still want me to open it?"
"Then..." Yu Zhizhi took the letter back and said softly, "I'll open it myself. But when can I awaken my spiritual power?"
Yu Zhizhi wants to awaken her spiritual power.
Until now, she still cannot change into animal form at will.
If you awaken your spiritual power, you don't need a lot, just enough is enough. She wanted to try turning into a "rabbit" and also wanted to open the letter.
The Duke gently tangled a lock of her hair in his fingers: "Every day is possible."
This is different from the male, which will awaken dual abilities as soon as it hatches.
A female's mental strength and supernatural talents will awaken without any warning on an ordinary day.
"A wizard will come to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow. Do you need him to test you?" asked the Duke.
Yu Zhizhi nodded gently: "Okay~"
Imperial wizards have the ability to test mental strength. In the Imperial City, the nobles' mansions invite wizards to visit every month to remove filth.
the next day.
Yu Zhizhi and the Duke went to the main hall together.
The youngest wizard in the empire stood up, took off his hat, bowed and saluted: "Your Excellency the Duke, Miss Zhizhi, good morning."
Yu Zhizhi saw the goat horns on the wizard's head. He was half-beast, with a human body and a goat face. He wore a loose black wizard robe and a turquoise gem necklace on his chest, emitting an enchanting light.
Mu Mu, a member of the snake clan who was traveling outside, also came back.
She was unusually dignified today, holding up her skirt with both hands and bowing to the Duke and the Wizard.
She blinked at the sight of the cute female rabbit.
In addition to Mu Mu, some female snakes came one after another. They all came to see Mr. Wizard specifically to test whether they had awakened their spiritual power.
The Duke sat on the main seat, holding a slender pipe in his right hand, and the servant lit the dry tobacco in the lotus pipe.
His golden vertical pupils fell on Yu Zhizhi. Among the many orcs, the only one he could see was this little female rabbit.
"It's really lively."
The girl walked over surrounded by many servants, holding a white lace umbrella and with a proper smile on her face.
"I knew Mr. Wizard would come to the Duke's Mansion and do a test with everyone~"
"I went to the Moon Rising Empire for half a year to exchange ideas and see if my mental strength has increased."
When the orcs saw her, they all bowed to her.
"Greetings to His Highness Fei'er."
Fei'er is a snake orc. Although she is arrogant and domineering, she is very patient with her tribesmen.
When she caught a glimpse of the petite figure, her smile froze slightly. She unconsciously glanced at the flat belly of the female rabbit and snorted in her heart.
The whole house is full of snakes.
A rabbit came running in, and it looked nasty no matter how you looked at it.
Of course, Mr. Wizard is an exception.
Fei'er put away the umbrella and handed it to the follower beside her.
The antelope wizard stepped forward and bowed: "Since Your Highness Fei'er is here, please allow me to test Your Highness first."
All the orcs looked over curiously.
Mu Mu is closest to Yu Zhizhi.
She tilted her head and whispered in the bunny's ear, "Your love rival is here."
—Love rival?
Yu Zhizhi's ears twitched slightly, and she turned around, looking confused.
The attention of all the orcs in the main hall was attracted by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and no one paid attention to Yu Zhizhi and the other person in the corner.
Mu Mu raised his hand and covered his mouth.
"Her Highness Fei'er is currently the most outstanding female in the snake tribe. She was taken away by the royal family and raised since she was a child. She has an extremely noble status."
"Besides, it's no secret that she likes His Excellency the Duke."
"How is it, is it stressful?"
Mu Mu couldn't help but pinch the rabbit girl's pink cheeks. If the Duke wasn't there, she really wanted to spit out her snake tongue to scare her.
Yu Zhizhi listened attentively.
She groaned, thinking of what the Duke had said before -
[As for me, I will not choose females from other tribes as my wives except females from the snake tribe.]
so…
The most outstanding female of the snake tribe, Her Highness Fei'er, is the most suitable candidate in the Duke's mind?
The antelope wizard held the gem pendant on his chest, and the deep blue light enveloped it.
Fei'er felt a hint of coolness invading her forehead. A confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. After a while, she heard the wizard's praise.
"Compared to half a year ago, Your Highness has made a lot of progress."
The Antelope Wizard put away the light of the gem.
"Currently, I have 500 mental strength."
—Five hundred!
The surrounding females all stared with their eyes wide open. For females, 50 is already a very high spiritual power, and Her Highness Fei'er has more than ten times that!
Mu Mu looked envious: "She can maintain the beast form of a snake for a week - no, if she lies still, even half a month."
Compared to males, females have very low mental strength.
However, mental strength is directly related to how long a female can maintain her animal form.
There are many times when people prefer to stay in animal form, as it is more comfortable and allows them to recover their strength quickly.
The antelope wizard's gaze passed through the crowd and fell on the female rabbit.
She is currently the only non-snake female in the main hall.
Looking again, the Duke sitting in the main seat had a hint of smile in his eyes as he looked at the female rabbit.
Then he probably understood.
today-
The Duke probably hopes that he will take special care of Miss Zhizhi.
I heard that she was pregnant with the Duke of Platinum's snake cub.
She is an S-class female.
That should be treated even better.
The Antelope Wizard slowly walked towards Yu Zhizhi.
The attention of many orcs was attracted.
"Ms. Zhizhi, do you need a test?" the Antelope Wizard asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Yu Zhizhi was a little nervous.
The last time I tested my fertility was when I was with the K family.
"Please give me your hand."
Antelope spread out his palms, his expression gentle.
Yu Zhizhi slowly extended her hand.
His gentlemanly grip transmitted the power of the Fateful Gem through his fingertips.
The deep blue light quickly surrounded the two of them.
Mu Mu, who was standing aside, had a look of anticipation on his face.
On the Beast World Planet, the male's spiritual power will awaken on the day he breaks the shell, but for the female's, there is no fixed time.
Some of them will be tested together with fertility in adulthood.
But most of them are in gray.
The Antelope Wizard felt the power in the girl's mind, and the blue gem in his hand emitted a soft light.
"Almost there." His eyes could see the hidden line.
The Antelope Wizard smiled and said, "In a month or so, your mental strength and supernatural talent will awaken together."
Yu Zhizhi's heart skipped a beat!
She looked at the antelope wizard in front of her in surprise: "Really?!"
More than just mental power!
And super talents!
There will be another chapter at 7pm!
Chapter 67 "Let me hug you."
At the side, Mu Mu of the snake clan raised her eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared in her brown vertical pupils. The awakening time measured by the antelope wizard has always been very accurate.
She is looking forward to it.
I don't know what kind of super talent Miss Zhizhi will awaken?
"You must tell me the first time you awaken." Mu Mu pulled Yu Zhizhi's little finger.
"Okay." Yu Zhizhi replied happily. She then remembered something and asked seriously, "But what if we are far away?"
"Then write to me!"
"Um!"
The orcs in the main hall congratulated one after another.
Princess Fei'er snorted coldly and walked towards the Duke.
A smile returned to her face.
In stark contrast to her previous arrogance, she greeted him gracefully, her fluffy and noble snow-white skirt swaying gently.
"Lord Platinum."
The Duke sat in a chair, surrounded by smoke: "Welcome back."
Fei'er looked at him in a daze.
There is a hint of sweetness in my heart...
She is so happy.
The Duke said, welcome back.
These were the best words she had ever heard since returning from the Moonrise Empire.
The man in front of her always sat lazily, holding a slender silver pipe in his hand, and his outline in the smoke made her more excited.
only…
There is a "pendant" in the middle of the pipe in his hand—
【A dark blue lucky bag. 】
The snake girl narrowed her eyes slightly, and a hint of unwillingness flashed in her golden pupils.
The Duke's pipe was his most frequently used item. However, he decorated the lucky bag given by the little female on it so that it could be seen at any time.
If I hadn't been in the Moon Rising Empire for half a year...
How could the little rabbit take advantage of
the situation ?
The Duke's requirements for a spouse are no secret in the empire.
He doesn't consider any females except those of the snake clan.
No matter how interested he was, it was impossible for him to actually mate with that female rabbit.
Maybe, when I get tired of it one day, I will get rid of the little female rabbit.
and-
His Majesty the King is concerned about the marriage of the female rabbits, and she always wants to choose a beast husband.
Fei'er gritted her teeth secretly. She would definitely wait until the day when the Duke abandoned the little female rabbit!
Just like...
He had so many pets before.
Haven't they all been sent away?
Fei'er calmed down and told the Duke with a smile about the interesting things she had experienced in the Moonrise Empire.
In the main hall, many females walked outside after testing their mental strength.
Someone noticed that the Duke and Princess Fei'er seemed to be having a very happy chat.
Hearing the orc's mumbling beside her, Yu Zhizhi raised her head and looked towards the main seat not far away.
The man sat on a chair. The snake girl standing in front of him was gesticulating and dancing. He watched patiently. The dark blue hair was cast a layer of light gold by the sunlight from the window behind him.
Yu Zhizhi looked at the scene of them together and felt an incomparable harmony in her heart.
They are all snakes.
They all have golden eyes.
Mu Mu looked at the little rabbit with a bit of pity. Was the scene not far away a bit cruel to her?
"Let's go." Mu Mu took her wrist and led her out.
Yu Zhizhi smiled, lifted her skirt with one hand and followed.
Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of that petite figure, following the snake Mu Mu.
The Duke handed the slender pipe to the attendant beside him.
He stood up.
I came here just to accompany the little female to do the test.
The antelope wizard stepped forward and said, "Lord Bolan, today's snake test has been completed. If you have no other instructions, I will-"
"There is one more thing. Please follow me." The Duke walked out.
Fei'er was stunned for a moment, and she shouted, "Master Bolan, would you like to have dinner together tonight?"
"No."
The attendant holding the pipe in both hands saluted Duke Feier, and he followed silently. When leaving, pay special attention to the blue lucky bag hanging on the wall, and don't lose it.
After Yu Zhizhi returned to the study, she was extremely excited thinking that in just over a month, she would be able to awaken her mental strength and supernatural talents.
She has been looking forward to it for a long time.
Moreover, once his spiritual power awakens, he will be able to open the letters sent by the Temple Alliance.
Yu Zhizhi was very curious about what was written inside.
In the evening.
The Duke's personal attendant came to the door.
"Miss Zhizhi." He reported softly, "The Duke is staying at the palace tonight. His Excellency means that you don't have to wait for him."
Inside the house.
Yu Zhizhi was reading a book about the history of the Beast World. She said, "Okay."
Except for the destroyed Cangshan Empire.
The remaining empires on the planet now are the [Valoran Empire], [Moonrise Empire] and [Deep Sea Empire].
The Moonrise Empire is located in an extremely cold area with blizzards all year round.
In the deep sea, water and land coexist.
Valoran has the most advantageous geographical location, with vast land, pleasant scenery and warm weather all year round.
[Can I predict the fourth mission in advance?]
Yu Zhizhi murmured in her heart.
[System: No. The next task will only be unlocked after the current task is successful.]
"oh…"
Yu Zhizhi continued to flip through the book in her hand.
She needs to understand each force.
This way, when the fourth task pops up, she will know where to go.
It's late at night.
There was a noise at the door.
Yu Zhizhi's rabbit ears suddenly stood up, and she quickly sat up from lying on the bed.
The door opened.
The Duke's figure appeared. He looked at the screen and found the hazy figure of the little female, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
Didn't he send someone back to report it?
Yu Zhizhi closed the book and said, "I was reading late and forgot about it. Master Bolan, you won't be coming back, right?"
The Duke had originally intended to stay at the palace.
I drank a lot of wine tonight.
However, he didn't know if it was the wine that had the problem, but the more he drank, the more the cute face of the little female rabbit appeared in his mind.
He came back after all.
The Duke walked towards the backyard.
"If I don't come back, where can I go?"
Yu Zhizhi put the book on the bedside table. She got out of bed barefoot, walked on the wooden floor to the backyard, and heard the sound of water.
She leaned against the door railing and thought seriously: "His Highness Fei'er seems to like you very much."
The Duke paused in scooping water.
A trace of astonishment appeared in his golden pupils, and then he couldn't hide his surprise. He held the water scoop, and couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth.
—Does she care?
Thinking about how she left without saying goodbye during the day, the little female's back looked a little "lonely". Could it be that she was unhappy at that time?
There was a hint of laughter in the Duke's voice.
"I didn't see her tonight. I was drinking with His Majesty the King in the palace. He was worried about the little prince's homework."
He reported every detail of his whereabouts.
Afraid that the little pet will misunderstand.
The Duke had lived for so many years and had never been so "frank" to anyone.
I feel very comfortable.
He sat in the pool, leaned his elbows back on the edge, tilted his head back and closed his eyes.
The Duke's heart was surging with joy, and he could not suppress it. There was a "splash" in the pool, and countless splashes of water appeared.
A black-scaled snake was exposed in the water. The white jade-colored crescent moon reflected on the surface of the pool was engraved on the snake's tail like a brand.
Hear some noise.
Yu Zhizhi walked over with some curiosity.
However, there was a layer of white mist covering the surface of the pool, and she could not see anything.
There was only a bare-chested man wearing a simple dark purple robe, his neck raised and his throat rolling slightly.
Keeping the posture still, the Duke opened his eyes and looked at the figure of the upside-down girl in the depths of his golden pupils.
"Be good, come closer."
The snake's tail at the bottom of the pool was ready to move.
"Let me hug you."
The votes cast by the Crab Crab babies~The fourth round of PK has begun, so please give me your monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and Xiaoxiang tickets~Haha! 2024-07-08 Author: Tofu and Taro Paste
Chapter 68 Falling in love.
Yu Zhizhi stood by the pool. From her angle, she couldn't see the scene beneath the mist. She could only see the Duke's upper body sitting in the water, his robe open, his wet dark blue hair dripping with water, flowing over his sexy collarbone and chest.
Her eyes froze, and she slowly approached.
The Duke's voice was like magic.
Yu Zhizhi entered the pool, and the Duke's arms lazily circled her, and the little female sat directly in his arms.
The water splashed lightly and the air was hazy. Her sparkling eyes were filled with a hint of shyness. She lowered her head and lay quietly in his arms.
The Duke smelled the jasmine scent on Yu Zhizhi, and the snake's tail at the bottom of the pool moved slowly.
Afraid of scaring her.
He tried his best to resist the urge to wrap his arms around her.
You can only approach slowly and stealthily.
The Duke's lips gently touched the female's ears. He said in a low and charming voice, "Raise your head and let me kiss you."
Yu Zhizhi raised her head and looked at his golden vertical pupils staring at her, his eyes full of deep desire.
She couldn't help but close her eyes.
Seeing the little female's well-behaved and shy appearance, the Duke held her chin with his right hand and slowly lowered his head.
The black snake tail in the pool slowly approached.
The snake's tail trembled slightly because of the joy in its chest, and the water flowed along with the surge of its heart.
I can no longer control myself—
The snake's tail in the water slowly surrounded the delicate body of the little female, layer by layer, wrapping her tightly.
"Hmm…?"
During the kiss, Yu Zhizhi felt a hint of coolness on her arms and back, as if something was tightly wrapped around them.
Just as she was about to open her eyes, the Duke covered them with a gauze ribbon.
The scene before my eyes became blurry.
Only the outline of the man could be vaguely seen.
—What happened?
What touched her in the water?
The little female was a little nervous and a little scared. She clutched the Duke's dark purple collar and trembled slightly.
"There's...something strange in the pool."
"Heh..." The Duke couldn't help but chuckle. He pecked the tip of the little female's nose affectionately, "Don't be afraid, it's me."
The more powerful the male, the better he can control the beast form.
They usually don't expose themselves easily.
But this time, because I was too happy, I couldn't help but reveal my snake tail—
The Duke couldn't take it back for the time being.
In order not to scare this timid female rabbit, he could only cover her eyes temporarily.
In the moonlight and mist.
The innocent and pitiful look of the little female was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Her long hair was wet, and the veil on her shoulders was thin and delicate. Her eyes were covered by a white ribbon, her small and delicate nose was stained red, and her lips were helplessly slightly opened, tempting to pick.
A drop of water on the girl's forehead dripped slowly down her cheek.
Snake-
Has the duke in front of me turned into a snake?
Yu Zhizhi didn't know.
In her memory, the Duke's upper body still looked like a human, with a warm embrace and strong arms.
The snake's tail slowly wrapped around her waist, with only a thin layer of gauze separating it from her skin.
Warm water, cold snake body.
Circle tightly.
To calm his pet, the Duke gently stroked her rabbit ears.
The fear of snakes deep in my genes seems to have been effectively alleviated.
Yu Zhizhi breathed softly and took the initiative to hug the man in front of her.
…She was actually hugging a snake?
In other words, a human body with a snake tail.
This is something Yu Zhizhi has never done before.
After overcoming her fear, she actually wanted to "touch it".
I want to touch...
The Duke's snake tail.
She turned her face to the side, her cheek pressed against the Duke's chest, which was hot. But the snake's tail tightly wrapped around her was icy cold. In the alternation of hot and cold, Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but stretch out her fingers and gently touch the scales on the snake's body.
It was smooth and cold, causing her to shudder.
The fear of snakes deep in her heart made her feel numb all over. With her eyes separated by a layer of gauze, she could not see the shape of the snake. Yu Zhizhi could only snuggle up to the Duke in front of her, causing the man to laugh in a low and joyful voice.
The little female looks like this...
It was as if she wanted to get into his body.
He rubbed the girl's rabbit ears with his fingers, lowered his eyes, and smiled in his golden pupils. His voice was gentle and affectionate: "Do you want to merge with me?"
Hmm—
The water ripples, the mist gathers and disperses, and it is vague.
The Duke's golden vertical pupils gazed deeply at the little female in his arms. He caught the tears falling from the corners of her eyes with his index finger and held her tighter with his snake tail.
The water ripples like waves, spreading slowly.
Yu Zhizhi heard the Duke's deep and mellow voice, and was entangled with a trace of desire: "Only you."
What?
"You are the only one by my side."
The Duke's voice was hoarse.
The only candidate for his wife in his mind could be a female from the snake tribe.
but-
The Duke refused the King's offer of marriage.
Her Highness Fei'er was the most suitable candidate in terms of both status and rank. All the beastmen of the snake tribe believed that Her Highness Fei'er would definitely become the Duchess.
But the Duke had no way to marry another bride at this time.
Maybe we will separate in the future, but at least for now...
The Duke's eyes could only see the little rabbit in front of him.
No other females were ever seen.
He would feel happy because the little female cared about him, and satisfied because of her smile. Even though they had just separated, he wanted to see her all the time.
When we met—
I always can't help wanting to hug her, touch her, and kiss her.
This may be the legendary "honeymoon period".
The Duke wanted to laugh.
In the past, he thought that male and female love was a boring thing, and that getting married and mating was just for the purpose of reproducing offspring.
But it's different now.
He became addicted to it and couldn't stop.
…
"cough…"
Yu Zhizhi woke up from her dream and felt a burning pain in her throat.
She thought of what happened in the pool, and pulled the quilt with both hands, covering half of her face. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she glanced at the bedside table next to her, where there was a cup of warm water.
Yu Zhizhi gently touched her belly with her hand. It shouldn't be...
Will it have an impact on the baby?
[…Is the baby still alive?]
She asked in a very low voice in her heart.
[System: Host, rest assured. The female is protected by the reproductive system during pregnancy, and the cub will be safe.]
[That's good…]
Yu Zhizhi sat up and drank half a cup of warm water. She saw faint red marks on her arms, waist and abdomen.
Thinking of the Duke's snake tail, the cool touch was like smooth ice silk satin, with a hint of softness, and it imprisoned her very powerfully.
She held the glass in both hands, and the tips of her ears turned red.
The Duke returns home.
Seeing Fei'er waiting outside the gate, she was holding a white lace umbrella and crying silently.
"Lord Bolan." The snake girl cried with tears in her eyes, "I heard that you rejected the marriage proposal from His Majesty the King - why?"
There is no holy female in the empire, and no one can force the noble Duke to marry.
Princess Fei'er will awaken her dual abilities in the second half of the year and advance to S+ female. She has no way to directly choose Duke Bolan as her beast husband unless His Majesty grants her marriage.
However, the Duke refused.
Obviously, there is no one better than her in the entire snake clan!
Fei'er refused to give up. She choked up and said,
"If I become a duchess, I will fulfill my duties and take care of my husband and children. I swear that I will never look for another beastly husband. In this life, I will only be with you until we grow old!"
Good morning, baby, this chapter is updated~ There will be updates at noon and in the evening!
Chapter 69: Possessiveness!
Other females will have many beastly husbands.
But as long as the Duke is willing to marry her, she will not look at any other male.
Your Highness Fei'er is willing to offer all his loyalty.
The Duke walked past her without pausing for a moment.
"Your Highness, it's cold, go back."
"Are you going to marry that rabbit?" Fei'er shouted unwillingly, "Don't forget what you have always insisted on! Don't forget Madam Sophia's prophecy!"
The Duke stopped suddenly.
He turned his head, his golden vertical pupils were cold and sinister, and the black snake on his body made a hissing warning sound.
Fei'er was so scared that she trembled and burst into tears.
On the side, a young rabbit boy who was watching the show had his arms folded across his chest, a stick of maltose in his mouth. He came at a really bad time and actually heard something incredible.
[Madam Sophia's prophecy? ]
What prophecy?
I guess only the orcs of the snake tribe know this.
Moreover, the status cannot be low.
Fei'er, the most favored little princess in the empire, cried so hard that her tears and snot were all over the place. The servants beside her did not dare to step forward for fear of being taken out on.
She cried so sadly.
But Duke Platinum never looked back.
"Lord Noel." The Duke's personal attendant stepped forward and said with a smile, "Please follow me."
The Snake Tribe has been busy lately.
Among them, the one that the whole empire knew about was the Earl Grey incident.
After he was punished by the Duke, his sister fell ill because she could not accept that the brother she had trusted since childhood was actually a serial killer.
Now that her health is in poor condition, the White Snake Clan has also requested His Majesty to cancel Nicole's marriage with Noel from the Rabbit Clan.
His Majesty referred the matter to the Duke.
Now, the Duke wants to ask Noel what he thinks.
When we arrived at the reception room, the aroma of tea filled the air.
The young man from the Rabbit Clan sat on a chair, his chin resting on one hand as he looked a little tired. "I don't have any opinion. It all depends on what Miss White Snake thinks."
Marry a wife? Reproduce?
These are what every capable male orc would do.
He just went with the flow.
As for who the candidate is, it's all fine.
As long as the female's level is high enough, everyone will welcome her to Green City as her husband.
Whether it's a snake or a rabbit, it doesn't matter.
He is not like the Duke, who has this obsession.
Noel sat on a chair, his fingers wrapped around a red rope hanging from his waist, with a crimson lucky bag tied to it.
He played with it quietly, with a smile on his face, as if he was savoring something.
Noel thought of the little female rabbit.
In the busy and noisy street market, she stood under the carriage, her eyes bright, and she tiptoed slightly to hand over the lucky bag.
—Oh, no.
Thinking about it more, I wish I could take her back to Green City right now.
I had noticed her as early as when I was in the K family. I had made an appointment with her to come to my room, but I didn't expect what happened later.
Noel listened absentmindedly as the Duke's personal attendant introduced the detailed information of other female snakes.
Nodding to himself.
Okay, fine, no problem.
It will be all right.
casual.
It doesn't matter who you marry, it's just a marriage between two families.
It's getting dark.
The snake follower put away the scroll and said with a smile, "Lord Noel, we will discuss the rest in detail tomorrow."
After Noel left.
The Duke stared at his back for a long while, then put down the slender pipe in his hand.
"What's that hanging around his waist?"
"Reporting to Lord Bolan, it is a lucky bag."
The Duke thought of a possibility in his heart. His jawline was tense, and he smiled: "Where's Geo?"
"Captain Geo is guarding the library."
"Send him over."
"yes."
On the way here, Green Snake Geo felt confused.
At this time, the Duke usually ate with Miss Zhizhi, why did he summon him alone now?
As soon as he entered the living room, he felt the oppressive atmosphere.
Geo didn't dare look up.
He knelt on one knee: "Greetings, Your Excellency the Duke."
"Get up and answer."
"yes."
Geo stood up.
The Duke twisted the new dry tobacco between his fingers and rubbed it gently, and the tobacco residue fell into the small white jade plate.
"Tell me what happened on the day of the market. Repeat everything, every word the female rabbit said."
There was a flash of surprise in Geo's eyes. It turned out to be related to Miss Zhizhi.
He responded and began to recall.
The Duke picked out some better tobacco leaves, put them into his pipe, picked up a match, struck it lightly, and a small flame jumped in front of his eyes.
He lit a cigarette.
Geo is recounting the events of that day.
The Duke always had a smile on his face, and his eyes dropped slightly to the blue lucky bag. He loved this "gift" so much and regarded it as a treasure.
Geo was horrified.
He didn't dare hide anything.
When talking about the girl giving a red lucky bag to a boy of the same tribe in public, Geo felt his mouth dry and his eyelids twitching.
It seems like something big is about to happen.
He had never seen the Duke like this.
The imperial nobles were always calm and composed no matter what they faced, but at this moment, their golden vertical pupils exuded a hint of coldness, and the black snake wrapped around their shoulders revealed its fangs.
It understands its owner's mood best.
The Duke smoked quietly.
As he listened to Geo's words, his mind flashed back to how bright the smile on the little female's face was when she handed out the lucky bag.
To outsiders, the rabbit tribe's genius male and the rabbit tribe's S-level female are a perfect match.
On the day Yu Zhizhi advanced to the Imperial S-class female, the entire Green City celebrated.
If he had not arranged the marriage between the Snake Tribe and Noel earlier, His Majesty the King would probably have granted the marriage to the two of them.
In the past, the Duke thought that it was very comfortable to keep this pet, but for the sake of the Valoran Empire, when he got tired of it, he would choose an excellent beast husband for her and let her reproduce.
And now—
The Duke had to admit that deep in his heart, there was only one thought clamoring wildly.
【Her all to myself! 】
[Never! Never! I will never send her away! ]
Whenever he thought of the little female smiling sweetly at other males, he felt sour and his throat tightened.
The Duke's face remained calm, but the snake's teeth were faintly creaking.
"Go, bring the female rabbit here."
The personal attendant was startled: "Yes, Master."
Instead of going back to the study, you summoned Miss Zhizhi here?
When Geo retreated, his back was soaked with sweat.
He didn't dare say much.
He retreated all the way to the door of the reception room and followed his followers to find Miss Zhizhi.
When Yu Zhizhi heard the news, she was eating the sticky rice dumplings. She swallowed the last one, drank a mouthful of the sweet soup, and smiled brightly: "Okay, I'll go now."
The Duke is looking for her.
The personal attendant opened his mouth, wanting to remind her that the Duke was very angry.
But in the end, nothing was said.
He didn't dare say anything more.
Hope everything goes well tonight...
Led by her entourage, Yu Zhizhi came to the reception room.
Like a happy little bird, she held up her skirt with both hands and ran all the way from the corridor into the main hall.
Seeing the Duke sitting, Yu Zhizhi walked straight up to him, bent down slightly, and looked curiously at the handsome face of the man in the smoke.
"I'm here~"
The girl's voice was sweet and soft, with a hint of joy, and her rabbit ears trembled slightly, all of which symbolized her happy mood at the moment. 2024-07-08 Author: Tofu and Taro Paste
Chapter 70 "Don't even think about leaving me, even if you die."
The lights were dim in the main reception hall. On the main seat in the center, the Duke, wearing a dark green aristocratic dress, was gently stroking a dark blue lucky bag, with smoke rising from the side of his pipe.
A gust of wind blew, the smoke dispersed, and the Duke's hazy features gradually became visible.
There was a hint of an obscure smile in his golden vertical pupils. The man had handsome features, a face as sharp as a knife, and an evil temperament, like the Tai Sui God in the world.
"Good evening, Miss Zhizhi."
The Duke put down the dark blue lucky bag, raised his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him.
The smile on Yu Zhizhi's face paused. She slowly straightened up and pinched the hem of her skirt a little stiffly: "Good evening..."
The Duke looked different from before.
He was smiling.
But there was no warmth in her pupils; instead, they were cold and dim, just like a poisonous snake hanging on a treetop, staring directly at its prey.
Yu Zhizhi slowly took a step back.
She held her breath, and seeing that the other party seemed to "not see it", she slowly took a small step back.
—Want to run! She wanted to hide quickly!
The Duke saw the little female's behavior, thinking he was blind, and couldn't help laughing: "Why hide? Did I allow you to leave?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of smoke enveloped Yu Zhizhi. Her legs trembled slightly under the snow-white veil, and she was pushed by the smoke and came in front of the man.
Her hands were pushed behind her by an invisible force...
The black snake crawled over and tied her wrists.
After a stagger, she knelt down in front of the Duke.
The man sat lazily, holding a slender silver pipe in his right hand, with red sparks coming out of the pipe.
"How many lucky bags did you buy?" he asked quietly.
Yu Zhizhi's hands were tied behind her back. She knelt down and replied in a daze, "Two."
"Why not buy four?" The Duke poured some water into his pipe.
The spark went out.
He glanced at the girl nonchalantly. The bunny ears on her head were slightly bent, and her expression was confused and innocent.
Her clear eyes seemed to be asking—
Why buy four?
The Duke chuckled twice and wiped his pipe with a handkerchief. "You only bought two lucky bags for me and Noel, so what about your other two lovers? Don Locke and Dracula, they don't have lucky bags to receive, aren't they pitiful?"
…ah?
Yu Zhizhi had a dazed look on her face.
She hadn't thought about this question...
Looking at the little rabbit's extremely innocent appearance, with misty eyes, as if it was seriously considering the possibility of buying two more lucky bags and sending them to Don Locke and Dracula, the Duke was so angry that his teeth itched.
How he liked this gift.
Treat it as a treasure.
Hang it on the things he uses most so that he can see it anytime and anywhere. In this way, the Duke will remember the little female who gave him the lucky bag.
Thinking of her sweet smile, soft voice, and fragrant body, she would always lean shyly in my arms.
The joy is hard to suppress.
The emotions were out of control, and even the snake's tail could not be hidden...
But today he saw it.
The same gift, the same intention, appeared in the hands of another male.
It turned out that she bought two copies on the same day and at the same time.
One for him and one for Noel from the rabbit tribe.
Even, it was the bastard who was given it first.
—It made his joy that night look like a joke.
"What do you take me for?"
The Duke held the slender pipe tightly in his hand, his golden vertical pupils staring straight at the girl kneeling in front of him.
Yu Zhizhi was too nervous. The Duke's mood was changeable, and such questioning made her swallow her saliva.
"I..." The little female's voice was soft and nasal, "You are the Duke."
She avoided his gaze and stammered:
"I, I'm not your...pet?"
The Duke's face darkened even more.
The pipe in his hand lifted the little female's chin, forcing her to look up at him.
"You're pregnant with my cub, and you're still courting other males?"
Yu Zhizhi's face turned pale, and she denied it outright: "I didn't!"
Noel's engagement with the snake Nicole has been cancelled.
Would the little female be very happy to hear this news?
The Duke heard that the males of the rabbit tribe could best arouse the reproductive desire deep in the genes of the females of the rabbit tribe.
"I told you before I choose a husband for you, you can only stay with me as my pet."
The cold pipe carved into the shape of a lotus supported the girl's chin.
"Do you dare to give him a lucky bag?"
The Duke stared at her coldly, his golden pupils gradually becoming darker: "Why, are you planning to die in bed?"
Yu Zhizhi looked at him blankly.
The Duke suddenly became angry, and very angry.
His voice sounded completely different from usual, as if he was suppressing something. Yu Zhizhi shuddered when she heard his last words.
"I-I'm pregnant-"
She was afraid that the Duke would do something extreme, so she reminded him tremblingly.
There was a hint of crying in the little female's voice.
She knelt on the ground, her hands tied tightly behind her back, her shoulders trembling slightly, her rabbit ears drooping in grievance, and she was frightened by the Duke so much that pearl-like tears fell one by one.
Cry?
This is her usual trick.
This time, he won't be soft-hearted.
The Duke looked at her coldly: "Since you want to be a pet so much, then from today on, be a good pet."
"Your cage will be moved to the backyard soon."
"Don't even think about going anywhere before the cubs are born."
Yu Zhizhi cried even harder, sob—
She doesn't want...
She doesn't want to live in a cage!
"I haven't awakened my spiritual power yet, so I can't transform into a beast, wuwuwu…"
Yu Zhizhi cried with tears in her eyes, looking weak and pitiful.
"The cage is tailor-made for you. You can live in it." The Duke put away his lotus pipe, leaned back in his chair, and crossed his legs. "After you give birth, I will announce your death to the world."
"From now on, you will stay by my side forever as a pet."
"I won't let you go—"
"Even if I get married in the future and marry a female from the snake tribe, you will still be my pet."
Doesn't she like being a pet?
Then she will be his pet for life.
Let him play with you as he pleases.
The Duke sentenced her: "...Don't even think about leaving me, even if you die!"
Wow—
When Yu Zhizhi heard this, she cried even harder.
The Duke stared at her with a gloomy face. Even when the little pet cried, she sounded delicate and breathless, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She sobbed and seemed to be crying to death in this living room if she was not picked up.
Yu Zhizhi cried so sadly.
She thought that she would have to live in a cage in the future and be locked up all the time, unable to go anywhere. Even when the Duke got married, he would not let her leave and would imprison her for the rest of her life.
Ugh—
Even the Duke cannot deprive her of her freedom like this.
Before she reaches level ten, the system will continue to assign her tasks.
Without her freedom and without completing her mission, she will eventually be wiped out...
Yu Zhizhi cried and cried, her upper body leaning forward. She leaned on the Duke's knees, tilted her head, and tears flowed down her nose to her ears.
Woo woo woo… Chapter 71 What's the real reason?
The Duke sat on the chair, feeling his trouser legs at the knees wet by the little female's tears. His face was tense, with a half-smile on his face.
In the past, when I saw her crying, I would pick her up and comfort her in my arms.
The Duke wondered if he had been too kind to this little pet.
Yu Zhizhi cried for a while and found that the other party did not respond.
She raised her chin and looked over with tears in her eyes.
The Duke just looked at her quietly, his golden snake eyes unable to see any emotion: "Are you done crying?"
Yu Zhizhi looked at him aggrievedly.
The Duke's pupils were cold: "When you are done crying, go back to your cage."
Glancing at the pool of tears that was quickly filling up again, the Duke lowered his voice and threatened, "Hold back your tears, or you won't be able to sleep tonight."
Hearing this.
Yu Zhizhi immediately bit her lips and tried hard to hold back her tears.
It seems that the Duke is determined to make her sleep in a cage...
Fearing that he might do something else, Yu Zhizhi struggled to stand up. However, her hands were tied behind her back and she could not move. She stood up unsteadily, and her frail little body seemed like it would fall down if the wind blew.
Her long hair was a little messy, her skin was fair and her cheeks were rosy, her eyes were misty, and her eyelashes were bright because of tears.
The Duke turned his head indifferently and picked up his pipe again.
Outside the door, the attendant whispered, "Miss Zhizhi, please."
Yu Zhizhi's hands were still tied, so she could only walk out slowly, looking back every few steps, hoping that the Duke would tell her to stop.
The Duke's figure was hazy and distant in the mist.
For a moment, Yu Zhizhi felt as if there was an uncrossable river between them.
We were still on good terms yesterday...
Yu Zhizhi followed her entourage and left the reception room.
The Duke looked at her back and resisted the urge to chase after her and pull her into his arms.
She was presumptuous...
Or was he just too presumptuous?
Was it her who overstepped the boundaries, or was it him who overstepped the boundaries?
Why be so sincere to a pet?
Yu Zhizhi returned to the study.
The servants had already moved the cage to the backyard.
She looked at the tall golden birdcage, which seemed to be forged from a special material and was carved with red roses.
The attendant specially had someone put a warm cushion in the cage, and also prepared a thin blanket and a small wooden board with tea on it.
...This cage was indeed tailor-made for her, just as the Duke said.
Yu Zhizhi walked in and the golden iron door behind her was locked.
She stood alone in the cage, her back looking lonely. The luxurious golden cage was intertwined with bloody roses, and the girl was like a canary, being kept captive.
Yu Zhizhi sat down with her back against the cage.
The thick cushion was soft and warm, and there was a wisp of hot steam coming out of the teapot next to it.
only…
Her hands were tied and she couldn't drink water.
The servants all left.
She was the only one left in the entire backyard.
There was a pool not far away, with steam rising from it.
Yu Zhizhi sniffed softly. She hadn't gotten enough rest today, and after all this trouble, she soon felt sleepy.
When the Duke came back, the lights in the study were off and the backyard was quiet with a night light on.
He walked straight to the cage.
When I first raised her, I built a birdcage specifically for her, but I thought it would never be used.
The little female leaned against the iron cage and slept quietly.
The Duke's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he stared closely at the girl's figure—
[No matter who you are, don't even think about being her beastly husband. ]
[He will never give up this little female.]
[Even if she is concerned about other males.]
[I will also keep her by my side and never let her go for the rest of my life. ]
Yu Zhizhi slept with her hands tied, and she felt uneasy. Moreover, her wrists felt too cold, and she even groaned in grievance in her sleep.
The Duke approached slowly.
He squatted down and wanted to reach out and touch her rabbit ears through the cage.
But his fingers froze halfway.
Yu Zhizhi woke up.
When she saw the man outside the cage, she instinctively wanted to move closer, but was blocked by the cold iron cage.
Looking up at him pitifully, she said softly, "I'm so thirsty..."
The Duke picked up the small teapot, held her chin with one hand, and fed her water as if they had just met for the first time.
The tea was cold and overflowed from the corners of her mouth. She pursed her lips in grievance.
"My wrist hurts..."
The Duke did not respond.
She blinked and whispered, "I'm hungry."
"Why, do you still want me to feed you?"
The Duke put down the teapot, squinted at her, and a dangerous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The little female's eyes turned red in a second.
Is she really made of water?
Yu Zhizhi said softly: "I can eat it myself..."
All she had to do was call back the snake from her wrist.
She would rather eat by herself.
The Duke seemed not to hear what she said. He went to the study and brought in a plate of snacks.
It is a crispy and fragrant rose cake.
He cut it into small pieces with a knife and held them to her lips.
Yu Zhizhi held it in her mouth, her eyelashes trembling slightly as she ate it, and she would look up and glance at him quickly from time to time.
The Duke's aura was oppressive, but his movements were as gentle as usual.
There was some biscuit crumbs on the corner of her mouth, and the Duke wiped them away gently with his thumb.
that's all.
When she was locked in a cage, she was very quiet, without any noise or fuss, at most she sobbed a few times, and ate obediently and docilely.
I can see her every day when I come back.
Just like raising a real pet, when you feel lonely, just open the cage and hold it in your arms and pet it.
She is a pet. It is enough for her to please me. What else can she expect?
Yu Zhizhi finished eating the rose cake and wanted to drink water.
She doesn't want tea.
It was a cool night, and she whispered, "I want to drink hot milk."
See, she's the best at making requests.
She is hungry, thirsty, and now wants to drink hot milk. Will she want a bed and quilt after she finishes drinking it?
She is more troublesome than any pet I have ever had before.
The Duke had to admit, however, that it was because of his pampering that she became so unscrupulous.
If other pets are disobedient, they will be beaten.
What about her?
How should he be punished?
—How could he bear to do it?
She drank the hot milk in small sips, feeling very satisfied. Yu Zhizhi squinted her eyes comfortably, her rabbit ears moved slightly, she raised her head and licked the white stain at the corner of her mouth: "It's a bit cold at night, I want a soft quilt, preferably one that has just been exposed to the sun."
The Duke almost laughed out loud.
Just as he guessed, after eating and drinking, the little rabbit wanted to sleep.
He looked at the little female's soft and lazy appearance, with her rabbit ears drooping, as if she was about to fall asleep soon.
She knelt on the mat in the cage, her hands clasped behind her back, her body delicate and slender. Her clear rabbit eyes were a little confused, her cheeks were rosy after she had just finished her meal, her nose was slightly upturned, her lips were slightly pursed, and her expression was innocent and pure.
The little female can always arouse his desire easily.
The Duke's eyes dimmed.
He gently rubbed her lips through the cage: "...please me."
Good morning, baby Meng~ There will be updates at noon and in the evening! Chapter 72 Gave birth to six snake cubs!
—If it pleases him.
Then forgive her once.
Here's the deal.
The full moon hanging high in the sky is hazy and charming. The mist in the pool is blown by the night wind, bringing warm and moist air.
A golden bird cage embroidered with blood-red roses.
The girl's eyes were red, she tilted her head back, and her throat was tight.
She moaned softly, brokenly, and tremblingly, as if she was trying hard to suppress something, and her vision gradually blurred.
In front of him, he looked down at her with cold, vertical golden pupils, with a hint of amusement. His large palm pressed the back of her head, and a faint blush appeared on the Duke's face.
The man groaned and took a half step back. His cold eyes concealed a strong desire. The Duke glanced at the girl's wrist behind her back. The black snake quickly left and burrowed into the bushes.
After the joy, the Duke no longer looked at her and left indifferently.
Her cough, choked by the cold spring night wind, sounded faint and fragmented, like soft sobs.
Then.
The servants brought soft pink bedding, which somehow felt warm to the touch.
The rose cage became a rabbit hive.
Yu Zhizhi is very tired.
She was so sleepy.
There were bright red marks on her wrists that had been untied. She hid under the quilt, hugged the dry and fragrant pillow, and gradually fell asleep.
Then the Duke got busy.
I rarely come to see her.
I heard from Teacher Dai Li that the war on the front line and the conflict with the Deep Sea Empire are gradually deepening.
Yu Zhizhi has been living a leisurely and comfortable life during this period.
The servants dared not neglect her.
Teacher Dai Li also comes to accompany her every day.
Although her activity area was limited to the backyard, the rose cage became her bed.
Just occasionally, occasionally...
I'll think of the Duke.
She had a lot to say to him, but she couldn't see him.
So she wrote all those words in a letter.
As the due date approaches, she is full of anticipation.
Yu Zhizhi counted the time. On a dawning morning with dew still hanging on the leaves, she finally heard a familiar system voice.
[System: The host has three minutes left to give birth, please be prepared! ]
Ahhh!
The production period has arrived!
Yu Zhizhi quickly spread out the quilt and lay down in it. With the experience of the previous two times, plus the [Painless Birth Pill] given by the system, giving birth to a baby was particularly quick and convenient.
Joy grew in her heart.
One minute later.
[System: Ding! Congratulations to the host for giving birth successfully! 300 points as a reward! Because six snake cubs were born, an additional 600 points as a reward!]
[System: Ding! The confinement gift package has been distributed! Please claim it in time! ]
[System: Friendly reminder, the host is currently at level 2, and is 600 points away from the next upgrade.]
—Six, six!
Yu Zhizhi was stunned.
Is it because she has been with the Duke too many times?
She looked at the snake eggs piled in the pink quilt. They were black and mixed with deep red, similar in color to the Duke's snake tail that she vaguely saw last time.
There are mysterious cracks on the eggshell, symbolizing the ancient snake.
"one two three…"
Yu Zhizhi counted them and her face turned slightly red.
There are really six!
That's too many!
It was a bit chilly in the early morning of spring, and she was afraid that the "snake cubs" would get cold, so she covered them all with a quilt.
The scent of the snake eggs will spread quickly.
By then, the entire Duke's Mansion will know that she has given birth!
According to the Duke, her death will also be announced to the public on this day.
From then on, the entire Valoran Empire didn't know that the female rabbit was still alive...
She will remain imprisoned in the Duke's Palace.
There is not much time left for Yu Zhizhi.
Although she was a little hesitant, she still had to find a way to leave first.
Yu Zhizhi immediately opened the [Postpartum Gift Package] to see if there were any useful rewards.
She clicked the shiny button in the air.
The red gift bag was opened before my eyes—
【Congratulations to the host for receiving the confinement reward! 】
Transparent bubbles appear rolling.
【Super delicious food set x30】
【Male identification information card x1】
【Eavesdropping Card x1】
[Perfect Concealing Breath Elixir (effective for 72 hours) x10]
[Nutrient solution for smooth and white skin x10]
[Temporary loss of voice nutrient solution x1]
[Disguise Evolution Rune x1]
[Storage Bar + 10 Cards x 1]
Some of the items were things I had seen in the confinement gift packs before, and they were very effective, but some were new to Yu Zhizhi.
Identify male information card?
Nutrient solution for transient loss of voice?
Disguised evolution rune?
Hmm...
What she liked most was the Eavesdropping Voice Card. The first time she used the Voice Card, it helped her complete a side quest, and the second time it saved her life!
Yu Zhizhi didn't hesitate at all. She immediately opened the Good Pregnancy Mall and looked for the place where she could redeem the card on the teleportation scroll.
Before that—
"Satan, what is my next mission?"
【System: Not unlocked yet.】
The main task will not pop up directly before completing the previous task.
Sometimes early, sometimes late, at a certain time, the system will give a prompt.
Yu Zhizhi hesitated for a while and said, "The cheapest place is the [Paradise] of the Moon Rising Empire."
On the teleportation scroll, redemption in other places requires 500 points, but only 100 points are required for the paradise.
It is not easy for Yu Zhizhi to earn points, so she is reluctant to spend 500 to unlock an area for easy teleportation.
Since Paradise is the cheapest, then that's it!
She immediately used 100 points to exchange for the teleportation qualification of the [Moonrise Empire Paradise] area, and the green font in the scroll was shining.
—I'm leaving!
Yu Zhizhi was quite emotional. She had lived in the Duke's Mansion the longest, for two whole months...
After thinking for a while, he took out the letter he had written earlier and placed it on the tray on the edge of the cage.
Finally, Yu Zhizhi leaned over and gently hugged the six snake eggs through the quilt.
This is a farewell hug.
…
The scent of the little snake in the bookstore soon filled the entire Duke's Mansion. Teacher Dai Li was so excited on the way over that she almost fell down.
And long before her, the Duke had already returned—
The entrance to the library was crowded with guards and servants kneeling. Teacher Dai Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt on her knees.
The Duke's personal servant trembled as he took out six snake eggs one by one from the quilt.
Snake eggs are so beautiful, with black and red colors intertwined, and the patterns unique to the snake family are arranged in an orderly manner. If you look closely, they look like a work of art.
And snake eggs have temperature.
The servants could hear the young masters' breathing.
The Duke, however, was not happy about having six cubs. He stared at the empty cage with a gloomy face, the pipe in his hand was almost crushed.
"try to find!"
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from his teeth: "I will search the entire empire to find her!"
The personal servant finally reacted.
Miss Zhizhi is missing!
He thought the Duke had someone take her to rest.
But, the library was so heavily guarded, how could she escape?
The Duke almost lost his mind, and his golden pupils burst out with endless killing desire. At this time, no one dared to step forward to comfort him. The personal servant knelt outside the cage, and suddenly, he saw the letter on the wooden tray.
He mustered up his courage and said, "Master Bolan, Miss Zhizhi seems to have left you a letter...?"
Hearing his attendant's words, the Duke turned around abruptly.
He saw the white envelope and when he took it, he could smell the faint scent of jasmine.
There is another chapter at 7pm~ Chapter 73 "I missed you."
The Duke's pupils suddenly shrank!
He held the letter tightly, his fingertips trembling slightly.
【—From the Duke himself. 】
What caught his eye were four large characters.
"Teacher Dai Li brought me some chocolate with fillings today. I like them very much. She said that the Duke specially sent them back from the palace."
"Jeo brought in many classical books as I requested."
"It also includes the history of the snake tribe."
"I have always been curious about where the Duke lives. What are the habits of the snake tribe? When you were very young, was the scenery you saw different from now?"
"But~"
"I know you won't tell me this on your own initiative."
"I ate a lot of glutinous rice balls today and drank a strawberry milkshake. Teacher Dai Li said that you are very busy recently and will come to see me when you are free."
"I know."
"I heard that wars are breaking out in many places. You have to deal with many government affairs and you don't even have time to sleep."
"Hmm…"
"Actually what I want to say is that I seem to miss you a little bit."
After saying a lot above, Yu Zhizhi finally got to the point.
Although the Duke never came to see her again after that night, the time they spent together before -
She remembers it all.
When the Duke saw these words, his throat tightened, his jawline tensed, and his golden vertical pupils stared at the letter in his hand.
"I received a postcard from Mu Mu today. She went to Cuiwei Canyon and had a great time."
"I'm so envious."
"I want to go out and play, too..."
"What are you doing now?"
"Did you have a good day today?"
"Have you eaten? Have you slept? Are you having nightmares again?"
"When will you come to see me..."
"Take me out to play~"
This letter spans a long period of time and cannot be written in one day.
The content of the letter was jumpy. The little female seemed to write whatever she thought of, and the writing was intermittent and incoherent.
Just watching, the Duke felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
He seemed to see the little female sitting alone in the cage, waiting for his return day after day.
He had deliberately ignored her during this period of time.
The Duke knew that he was about to fall. He needed to withdraw, to regain his calm and soberness, and not to be entangled with her anymore.
But…
But she wrote—
"I'm a little scared."
"I don't know how long I will be locked up. I envy Mu Mu, who can go wherever she wants. She has seen many sights that I have never seen."
The Duke's body was stiff. He read every word in the letter, and his heart pulse almost stopped beating.
"I…"
"I'm leaving now."
"There are many, many reasons. I'm sorry I can't tell you."
"I'm going to a very far place, and I don't know if I'll have the chance to come back. So, I want to write down everything I want to say now."
"I hope you can be happier."
"I pray to God that you will never have nightmares again."
"Don't look for me~"
"I probably used something like a teleportation array and have already left the Imperial City. Let everyone have a good rest and don't blame them. They have all been very nice to me."
"It's time to say goodbye..."
"If we can really meet again in the future..."
"My Lord Duke, I hope you won't punish me."
"and-"
"I hope you can hug me."
Yu Zhizhi didn't know why the Duke was angry.
She was a little scared.
I didn't know how to get along with the angry Duke, and my instinct was to avoid him.
And she had a mission to accomplish.
Can't stay in this place.
This time he left without saying goodbye, leaving only a letter for the Duke.
In the future, if we meet again—
If only the Duke would hug me.
She didn't want to be locked up anymore.
at last.
She left a sentence -
"Be nice to the kids."
…
Yu Zhizhi used the teleportation scroll and felt dizzy. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a ruin covered with snow.
Just as the instructions on the scroll said, her stomach was sour, and the feeling was very similar to motion sickness.
When I came to my senses a little, I felt a biting cold.
"Ah...A-choo!"
She sneezed and hugged the red backpack tightly in her arms. She looked around and found that everywhere she looked was white snow.
Suddenly, I came from a place with spring flowers to a cold area.
Is this the Moonrise Empire in the far north?
She remembered that the place she chose was Paradise.
Listen to the name...
It feels like a very happy place.
And it only takes 100 points.
It's just a little cold.
Yu Zhizhi was wearing very little, luckily she had put on an extra coat when she was teleported. She stood up from the snow pile, staggered, and walked towards the store not far away.
Suddenly, a system sound appeared in her mind—
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for starting the fourth main mission. You are required to capture an adult male mermaid (regardless of identity) within two months. If the mermaid 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—]
The fourth main mission has begun!
Yu Zhizhi carefully browsed the task content—
Mermaid...tribe?
Well, she had seen it before when she was reading ancient history books. It was said to be a very rare race that lived in the most secluded place in the Deep Sea Empire.
However, she remembered that the Moon Rising Empire and the Deep Sea Empire were in completely opposite directions...
The girl stood there blankly.
"Should I stay in the Duke's Mansion for a while longer...?"
[System: Staying in place, unable to unlock the main line. ]
Therefore, the key is to "walk around" at the right time.
"oh…"
The place where Yu Zhizhi came was the [Paradise] of the Moon Rising Empire. It was currently unknown what area it was in, and it was surrounded by desolate land.
There were dilapidated buildings everywhere, towering into the sky and covered with snow. Every step you took seemed to be bottomless.
When she was about to approach the only store—
Suddenly, an alarm sounded in the sky!
Soon, the rigorous announcement was transmitted through the loudspeaker to the ears of every orc at the scene.
"The fourth snow wave of the year is approaching. All residents are requested to bring their ID cards to the evacuation tower. Please note that you will not be able to enter the evacuation site without your ID card. Please be sure to hang your ID information on your chest."
"In thirty minutes, the snow tide will cover the entire park—"
"Please arrange your time and go to the Refuge Tower in an orderly manner. Be careful not to crowd. Violators will be punished by the Paradise."
…ah?
Snow tide?!
Yu Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, and saw many beastmen of various shapes and sizes rushing out of the store, their expressions were extremely panicked.
One of the orcs drove an off-road vehicle. After everyone got in, the vehicle sped up and disappeared from Yu Zhizhi's sight in the blink of an eye.
She opened her arms and waved hard, trying to catch up, but fell because the snow was too thick.
No orc noticed that there was a little female in the border area.
The cold wind rushed into her throat, like a knife cutting her flesh, and Yu Zhizhi choked to the point of tears. She hugged her red backpack tightly, braving the fierce cold wind, and chased after the car step by step in the direction where it disappeared.
But the road is too difficult to walk...
Every step Yu Zhizhi took was pushed back by the wind.
Wow, she wouldn't just die in this bad weather, would she?
Snow Tide...
The name sounds like mudslides and volcanic eruptions.
Just as Yu Zhizhi was daydreaming, a pair of dark brown boots appeared in front of her.
"Sizzle—"
The visitor had a walkie-talkie in his hand and he reported to his superior immediately.
"A female rabbit was found in the coordinates 223,466 area. Her power and rank are unknown. Do you want to take her back?"
Thank you for your votes, baby Meng.
Hehe, to thank you for your support, I will continue to update tomorrow morning! Douhua will work hard to write!
See you tomorrow~
(End of this chapter) Chapter 74: Honorable S-class female!
After receiving confirmation from the chief of the law enforcement center, the young man put away the intercom, bent down, and stretched out his right arm: "Miss, can you still stand up?"
Yu Zhizhi was shivering from the cold. She looked up, but the wind and snow blurred her vision.
Trembling, she held onto his arm and tried to stand up, only to feel a dull pain in her sprained left leg.
"That's abrupt."
The young man from the law enforcement team didn't waste any more time. After saying this, he directly picked up the female rabbit.
He jumps very fast.
In a flash, a row of heavy footprints were left in the snow.
There is a vintage steam engine parked in the distance.
When she opened the door, a wave of heat hit her, and Yu Zhizhi instantly felt so warm that her rabbit ears stood up.
She was put in the passenger seat.
The steam helicopter gradually left the ground and flew away into the distance.
Snow fog covered the glass windows, and she could vaguely see the vast snow-covered valley below and the tsunami-like snow tide in the distance.
...saved.
Yu Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief.
She had a little free time and couldn't help but turn her head to look at the young beastman who was flying the plane. He was wearing a dark brown uniform and was looking ahead intently.
Noticing the female rabbit's gaze, he spoke slowly,
"We are now heading to the Paradise Command Center, which will not be affected by the snow tide."
"OK."
Yu Zhizhi sat down obediently, holding the seat belt with both hands and not disturbing the other person anymore.
The steam engine landed on the platform.
The guards conducted a routine check.
When she arrived at the entrance, Yu Zhizhi hugged the red backpack tightly. She saw the young man scan his fingerprint and was allowed to pass.
And she—
She swiped her fingerprint, but the machine remained silent.
When the deputy captain of the guard looked up at her, he was slightly startled, but he still held the pen seriously and said, "Please show me your ID."
Proof of identity...
"I, I didn't bring it."
Yu Zhizhi doesn't remember having this thing.
The guard glanced at the young man from the escort team who brought her here, as if to ask, why did you bring back such a suspicious female?
The young man from the escort team stood aside silently.
The guards at the entrance all looked at this strange female rabbit.
She had too little clothes on—
Although he was wearing a brown coat, his lower body and legs were exposed, and he was shivering.
"Sorry, according to the rules, you can't go in."
The guard made the decision righteously.
"Then...can I squat at the door?" Yu Zhizhi asked timidly.
[If she is driven away now, she will be swallowed up by the snow tide, right? ]
The deputy captain of the guard responded coldly: "No. Please leave immediately."
A younger guard at the side showed a look of pity. This female rabbit looked very pretty and cute. If she had her ID card, the guards would definitely welcome her as a VIP.
Unfortunately...
There are wars going on on the Beast World Planet right now, and no one knows whether she is a spy sent by other empires.
Yu Zhizhi was stunned.
She hugged the red backpack tighter. Suddenly, she thought of something. She hurriedly opened the zipper and took out a badge from it.
"this!"
She raised her hand, hoping that the 1.9-meter-tall guard standing in front of her could see clearly what she was holding.
"This represents my identity!"
What the girl was holding was an exquisite aqua blue badge with the logo of the Valoran Empire on it.
The relationship between the Moonrise Empire and the Valoran Empire is relatively mild, and they are temporarily in an alliance.
but-
They would never allow the orcs from the Valoran Empire to infiltrate.
The guard stared at the badge, making no attempt to take it.
A younger guard whispered, "Deputy Captain, why don't we let her hide here temporarily while we slowly check her identity? After all, she is from the Valoran Empire..."
It's considered a half ally.
Yu Zhizhi was very nervous and she was afraid of being driven away.
Just as she was racking her brains to think of how to convince them, the young man from the escort team who brought her here suddenly approached.
He took the light blue badge from Yu Zhizhi's hand and studied it carefully.
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
"…S-rank?"
On the back of the aqua blue badge, there is a golden S engraved.
Although it is small, it is very clear.
All the guards present were stunned.
When Yu Zhizhi heard this question, she nodded slightly: "Yes."
this…
She only knew that she had absolute preferential treatment in the Valoran Empire, but she didn't know if it would work here.
The youngest guard lost his grip on the intercom and dropped it to the ground.
He stared blankly at the female rabbit who had suddenly visited him.
"Is this true or false?"
How could an S-class female suddenly come here!
You know, no matter which empire it is, S-class females are the focus of protection. Even if they are traveling, they will contact the empire's top leaders in advance to arrange protection tasks within the territory.
They didn't receive any information about the visit of the S-class female from the Valoran Empire?
Was there something wrong?
Although her identity was questionable, the guards' attitude had obviously changed.
The young man from the escort team saluted her for the first time: "Dear Miss Rabbit, please wait a moment. I need to ask the commander again."
He glanced at the 1.9-meter-tall deputy captain of the guards and said, "She wants to go in with me."
Although the deputy captain of the guard didn't quite believe in his heart that there would be a wild S-level female who got lost and happened to come to the paradise of the Moon Rising Empire -
He nodded stiffly: "Understood."
Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, we cannot be disrespectful to potential S-rank females.
This is the law of the Moonrise Empire.
No matter which empire an S-class female comes from, as long as she comes to the Moonrise Empire, she must be given the highest level of reception.
Keep them safe and meet their every need.
The guard finally let us pass.
Yu Zhizhi followed the young guard into the safe area.
The other party explained as they walked: "Dear lady, in order to confirm your identity, we need to re-test your abilities. I hope you can understand."
"Okay."
Yu Zhizhi is not afraid to take the test.
Her identity as an S-class female is genuine.
At the door, the deputy captain of the guard said, "Go in and see if she has reached S-level. If not, drive her out immediately."
The youngest guard immediately saluted: "Yes! Deputy Captain!"
…
Valoran Empire.
On the evening of the day Yu Zhizhi left, two hot posts appeared on the Empire Forum.
One of the titles is -
[Duke Platinum has offspring for the first time! Six snake cubs are born! ]
Once this news was released, it quickly topped the hot list!
Duke Platinum is extremely popular in the Valoran Empire, and any movement in the Duke's Mansion will be immediately spread on the Internet.
Since the day when the news of Miss Zhizhi's pregnancy leaked out, posts related to her and the Duke appeared in the forum one after another, and an orc even created a [Snake-Rabbit Alliance] to facilitate CP pairing.
At midnight on the same day, another post quickly dominated the charts!
[Don Locke K! — Imprisoned for three years and four months, released tonight! The Empire's ultimate killer weapon sees the light of day again! !] Chapter 75: Mermaid Auction.
Being at a high position in the park's command center, one could see a waterfall-like snow tide raging in the valley, with a rumbling sound that sounded like thunder.
Yu Zhizhi followed behind the young guard with her rabbit ears drooping, trying to block out the vibration sound outside.
At the end of the corridor filled with flashing lasers was an intelligent machine that slid like a tank. It had a broken eye, and it was empty and dark: "Firepower has been aimed, alien species are invading, should we bomb?"
The mechanical right arm was pointed towards Yu Zhizhi.
It seemed as if it only needed a command to blow the head off this alien species.
Yu Zhizhi's face turned pale.
She hid uncontrollably behind the young guard, trembling with fear.
Soon, a gentle voice came from above my head.
"Don't be afraid, it's just playing a joke on you."
"…real?"
Yu Zhizhi poked her head out and saw the robot happily spinning in circles on the ground because its prank had succeeded.
"…"
"Okay, Aru, stop making trouble."
The guard unlocked the door with his fingerprint. "I'm going to take this distinguished lady to test her abilities. Please patrol carefully and don't let anyone suspicious get close."
"By the way, make us two cups of hot coffee, thank you."
The tank robot raised its arm, presumably in a military salute: "What~question~"
Snore—
The tank machine was half a person's height. It ran a small motor and rolled its wheels, sliding past the two men.
The young guard pushed open the door.
There is a testing instrument in the empty room, and a blue halo is projected on the ground. You just need to stand in it.
The young man saluted the male orcs in the room.
Under their guidance, Yu Zhizhi stood in the light circle.
At the door, a young guard was peeking out.
The instrument spun quickly, and soon the determined level appeared on the display screen.
【S-level! 】
Now it was confirmed that she was a genuine S-level female of the Rabbit Tribe!
The male who was originally sitting immediately stood up.
The guard boy slipped away quietly. He wanted to go back and report the news to the deputy captain.
The male in charge of testing the level said:
"Luther, take this young lady to the lounge. Whatever she needs, try to meet them. I need to go to the chief for a morning meeting. Beautiful young lady from the rabbit tribe, don't panic. You are our honored guest. Please."
The young guard named Luther nodded slightly and led the way.
After walking through the clean corridor, we arrived at the lounge of the command center.
There is a long dining table and comfortable soft chairs.
The tank mech came in with a tray and placed two cups of freshly brewed steaming coffee on the table.
It specifically circled around the little female rabbit.
"Excuse me, do I need to collect her information?" The tank machine raised his head and looked at the young man in brown uniform.
Yu Zhizhi sat on a chair. The room was warm, in stark contrast to the ice and snow outside.
She was a little reserved, with her hands on her legs, not sure what to do.
Luther said slowly, "Let's collect them next time we meet."
This rabbit lady has just arrived in an unfamiliar environment and needs some time to adapt. It is the same if she collects information a few days later.
The tank mechanically slid away on the wheel.
Yu Zhizhi looked at the hot coffee in front of her. She couldn't help but hold the cup with both hands and lowered her head to drink.
"Excuse me, what is your name?"
"Yu...Zhizhi."
"Miss Zhizhi, is there anything we can help you with?"
Luther's attitude was very gentle, and even his tone was full of patience. He looked at the little female rabbit that seemed to have fallen from the sky, afraid that a louder voice would scare her.
"I need a place to live." Yu Zhizhi drank half a cup of coffee, she looked up and looked at the beastman in front of her.
Luther nodded: "I'll arrange it. Do you have any requirements for accommodation?"
"I hope the security situation will be better, and...it will be warmer."
"No problem." The young man smiled slightly: "You are an S-level female from the Beast World Planet. You will receive the highest level of treatment no matter which empire you go to."
"Any other requests?" he continued.
Yu Zhizhi hesitated for a while and asked, "Are there any merpeople here?"
Hearing this question, Luther was stunned.
He recalled the message he had seen before: "There wasn't one before, but one was delivered two days ago."
"…transport?"
"It was airlifted back by a steamship. It will be auctioned at the park at 8 o'clock tonight. Miss Zhizhi, are you here for the mermaid? I can take you to the auction site."
If the female rabbits came for the mermen, that would make sense.
Thinking of the mermaid, Yu Zhizhi nodded quickly: "I want to go!"
The mermaids live in the Deep Sea Empire. If she wants to rush from the Moonrise Empire to the Deep Sea Empire, she needs to safely pass through the Dragon's Cave and cross the entire Valoran Empire.
The risk is too great.
It's dangerous out there and she doesn't have a dedicated guard team.
Not to mention entering the Valoran Empire, you will definitely be intercepted.
It would be so convenient if we could meet mermaids in Paradise!
This mission will take two months...
I feel like as long as I seize the opportunity, everything will be fine!
The other side.
The male in charge of the inspection asked, "Sir, the information has been verified. She is an S-class female rabbit from the Valoran Empire. Luther just sent the latest report. She came to the park probably for the mermaid auction."
This reason also makes sense.
The mermaids of the Deep Sea Empire are the most mysterious. It is said that every mermaid is extremely beautiful. In addition, they have some special abilities, which makes them very popular among the females of the Moon Rising Empire.
The news was released as early as half a month ago that new species would be put on the auction.
Many noble females arrived at the paradise early and made preparations.
So, it is normal for noble females from the Valoran Empire to come.
"Do we need to contact the Valoran Empire and tell them that Miss Zhizhi is now in our territory?"
In front of the long table in the conference room, the officer in military uniform tapped the table with the pen in his hand: "Are you stupid? Of course, you don't need to tell them about this kind of thing."
"…"
"Now that she is here, no matter how long she wants to stay or what she wants to do, we must fully support her. Perhaps this female rabbit will be willing to stay in the Moonrise Empire permanently."
S-level females are what I long for.
"If anyone asks, she will say that she has always lived in the God-given City. Let Luther 'kindly' remind her that for safety reasons, she should not reveal to any orcs that she is from the Valoran Empire."
"Yes! Sir!"
The little female rabbit got lost and accidentally entered the paradise of the Moonrise Empire. That means she is a baby who was born and raised in the Moonrise Empire.
Seven o'clock in the evening.
Luther took Yu Zhizhi to the [Lost Tower].
Many of the park's buildings are located at different heights and in different levels in order to prevent snow surges.
She saw a handsome man standing at the entrance, welcoming guests.
The patrons are basically females of all races.
"This is..." Yu Zhizhi murmured.
Luther smiled: "This is a place for noble ladies to have fun."
"The mermaid is in there?"
Yu Zhizhi was only concerned about her main mission.
Luther: "The Lost Tower holds an auction every month. I asked someone to inquire this afternoon. The one being auctioned tonight is the mermaids. I'm sure it's there."
that is…
There was one thing that Luther didn't know whether he should remind him of.
