Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands

Chapter 146: Chapter 146: In the Name of Love

Alive? Or dead?

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on them.

The young man found a random corner and dropped her. The White-eyed Young Boy was right next to them. He gripped his scabbard tightly. Despite his pale face, he stubbornly straightened his back, jutted out his chin, and looked up at him.

Their gazes met, and the young boy felt his heart stop!

Those dark, emerald eyes were just like the eyes of a Demon from the abyss.

No one dared to meet his gaze...

The young boy’s scalp tingled with fear.

He glanced at the female from the Turtle Clan who had been tossed on the ground. Her breathing was steady, as if she were asleep.

...?

’How could she sleep while with such a terrifying guy?’

When the young man returned, the male from the Leopard Clan was terrified but still took the initiative to walk up to him. "May I ask your name, sir?"

"Lou."

"Mr. Lou, would... would you like to join our team?" the Leopard Clan male invited, forcing himself. "With you, our team would be full!"

In Paradise’s live-streamed hunts, each team was composed of three to six people.

They had to fight their way from the outer rim to the core area. In the end, the two strongest teams would break through to compete for the championship.

The team that achieved final victory would be allowed to leave Paradise, all members included. No matter what sins they had committed before, all would be wiped clean.

Lou sat leaning against the wall. His long legs were casually arranged, his posture lazy. The gauze on his face only added to his sickly appearance. "Where’s the captain?"

Ai Li of the Butterfly Clan was startled. She approached nervously. "I’m here."

Lou glanced at her. "I need hot water."

"Right away, Lord Lou!" Ai Li didn’t dare to delay and quickly shot the Leopard a meaningful look.

Following her lead, the other two males also began addressing him as "Lord Lou." They all understood that this mysterious man was not someone to be crossed.

If he wanted hot water now, they had to find a way to get it.

The Leopard had a Water Element ability: Rain Control. He crouched at the cave entrance, and a small, dark cloud materialized above his palm.

A soft PITTER-PATTER of tiny raindrops fell into an iron bucket.

Ai Li dragged her exhausted body over to start a fire. She had never done a servant’s work back home and was soon drenched in sweat from the effort.

When it was done, she stopped the Leopard who was about to carry the bucket.

She carried the water over to Lou.

’What does he need the water for?’

Lou didn’t even look at her. "Towel."

Ai Li froze for a moment. The Stag at the side finally seized his chance and hurriedly handed over a clean white towel.

Lou took it and soaked it in the hot water.

His gaze fell upon the small female from the Turtle Clan, who was curled up asleep.

Her face and arms were covered in dirt and sand. Lou’s fingers hooked a strand of hair from her cheek, then he covered her face with the hot towel and began to carefully wipe it clean.

Ai Li was stunned.

’She never imagined that the hot water Lord Lou had demanded was to wash the Turtle Clan female’s face?’

A bitter feeling welled up inside her. She had been pampered and lived a life of luxury since childhood; she never thought she’d end up as a water-boiling maid.

She looked again. The young man who had been radiating aggressiveness when they first met was now skillfully cleaning the girl’s cheeks with the towel. His movements weren’t crude at all; on the contrary, they were exceptionally meticulous, as if he did this often.

Lou was halfway through wiping when he realized something was wrong.

His expression suddenly darkened—

’Fuck, was Louis some kind of lapdog before?’

’Why am I so good at taking care of someone?’

Lou clutched the hot towel, hesitating for a moment, but still pulled up the girl’s slender, pale green wrist and wiped away the unsightly sand from her arm.

Ai Li watched him secretly. The young man’s profile looked like it had been sketched with a charcoal pencil, the smooth lines hiding a sharp edge. His emerald eyes gleamed with a faint light, his nose was straight, and his lips were thin. He still carried the bloody, morbid air of someone who had just killed, and she couldn’t help but swallow hard.

’...Lord Lou was incredibly handsome and immensely powerful.’

’If they had such a powerful backer, they might really become the sole winning team, and she could successfully earn the right to return to the Imperial City.’

Her heart began to beat a little faster.

But seeing him constantly taking care of this little unconscious turtle, Ai Li felt a tightness in her chest.

Lou frowned. "What are you looking at? Scram!"

Ai Li’s heart leaped into her throat. She quickly retreated, not daring to stay near him any longer.

She was terrified that he would raise his rusty knife in the next second.

Yu Zhizhi was utterly exhausted. In a state between sleep and wakefulness, she felt a warmth on her cheek. Someone was wiping her with a towel.

She weakly opened her eyes for a moment and saw a blurry figure. It looked like Louis.

Back in the log cabin, whenever she was sick, it was always Louis who took care of her.

Thinking that Louis was still by her side, a smile graced her lips. She couldn’t help but grasp his wrist and rest her forehead against it.

"I’m so sleepy..."

The little female’s sleepy voice was soft and sticky. "Let me sleep a little longer..."

Lou tossed the towel into the bucket.

’As expected, this little turtle wasn’t afraid of him at all.’

’From the moment they met, she had run towards him with a smile. Later, she had taken it upon herself to treat his wounds without permission, and now, she had simply fallen asleep without a care in the world, not the least bit worried about her own life.’

Although Lou didn’t know why she was like this, he had a fresh idea back when he was outside the cave—

Ordinary killing was dull and numbing.

Why not play a more interesting game?

Like weaving an inescapable net in the sky, he would lure his prey to willingly fall into it. Then he could dismember and devour her at his leisure.

Gain her trust.

Gain her love.

And then, watch her despair, watch her fear, watch her die in hatred.

Love me.

Hate me.

Lou longed to see these two emotions intertwined on the little female’s face.

That would surely be more delicious than the smile he saw today.

Lou lowered his eyes, a fixed smile on his lips.

In the eyes of the others, the scene was far too intimate.

The Leopard was dumbfounded.

’Lord Lou has taken a liking to a female from the Turtle Clan? Why? Is it because she’s green?’

From a male’s perspective, Ai Li of the Butterfly Clan was obviously the one with a face as beautiful as a flower and a moonlit night, exceptionally gorgeous and captivating.

Besides, Ai Li had been punished and sent to Paradise because her family got into trouble.

Her Fertility was most likely A-rank or higher.

But as for this little turtle... it was hard to say...

She had no powerful background and was thrown into Paradise, most likely because her Fertility test came back as D, and she was classified by the Empire as a defective female.

...

When Yu Zhizhi woke up, it was the middle of the night.

The cave was silent.

She could even hear the Leopard’s snores.

After a good sleep, her spiritual power had recovered, and she now felt refreshed and clear-headed.

Sensing the person beside her, she lifted her head slightly and saw "Louis" leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.

Yu Zhizhi felt a surge of joy.

This was the first time she had felt happy since accepting the Camp Task.

Yu Zhizhi slowly sat up, tidied her hair, and began to read through the rules related to [Paradise] that came with her system, using the moonlight to see.

[Excuse me...]

Yu Zhizhi asked softly in her mind.

[Where is the Lord of Paradise?]

Her conquest target was the [Lord of Paradise]; she had to find him as soon as possible.
