Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: "Who kissed you?

"Ms. Zhi Zhi!"

Luther suddenly grew tense.

He bent down, looking directly into Yu Zhizhi’s rabbit-like eyes. "You can’t let yourself be fooled by his act!"

With the Housekeeper gone, he was growing more and more worried.

What if the Rabbit Clan Lady was tricked by the Mermaid into undoing his chains and stopping his medication from the Lost Tower?

Luther was terrified that one day he would return from a mission to find the young girl’s cold, lifeless body.

Yu Zhizhi was startled by him. Her rabbit ears twitched, and she nodded repeatedly.

"I-I know!"

Luther straightened up. "I have to go on patrol tonight. If anything happens, call the Guard Team directly."

"Okay."

「After he left.」

Yu Zhizhi carried the apples to the kitchen.

Dusk was falling. The Moon Rising Empire was located in an extremely cold region, with few sunlit hours during the day and very long nights.

She washed the apples clean, carefully cutting them into small pieces and arranging them on a plate.

’The Mermaid has his eyes now.’ A flicker of anticipation mixed with nervousness stirred in Yu Zhizhi’s heart.

She walked to the bathroom door.

After a moment’s hesitation, she gently pushed the door open.

Inside the dark bathroom, only a sliver of light from the courtyard lamps filtered through the window. The cerulean water in the bathtub seemed to glow, shimmering faintly.

The Mermaid was leaning against the tub, his eyes lightly closed. The white silk ribbon was gone from his face, and a single drop of water trickled down from his temple.

Yu Zhizhi approached slowly and said softly, "I brought you... apples."

The little female’s voice was soft, sweet, and just as he remembered.

Since being captured and brought to Paradise, the Mermaid had lost his eyes and had never once seen her face.

Hearing her voice, Yusen tilted his head slightly.

He wasn’t yet used to his newly installed eyes, and with the bathroom full of steam, he could only make out a petite silhouette.

Yu Zhizhi took two more steps forward.

She sat on the low stool beside the tub and held the plate out to him.

When she saw the Mermaid’s eyes, she froze for a second.

They were as clear and blue as the ocean, a perfect match for the youth’s exquisitely handsome features, like forgotten pearls of the sea. His gaze fell upon the carefully sliced, crisp apples, then followed her fingers up to her fragile neck.

He remembered.

Right there. It felt as if one gentle bite would be enough to tear open her carotid artery and cause a massive hemorrhage.

But the little female had just said—

’He was very gentle...?’

His gaze traveled up from her neck, and he finally saw her face.

Even though the light was dim and the air was thick with steam, Yusen could see the little female’s snow-white skin, her lively rabbit-like eyes, and her tender pink lips—

Everything was just as he had pictured her in his mind.

Suddenly, a darkness fell over the youth’s light blue eyes.

He saw a distinct bite mark on the little female’s soft lips.

While the Mermaid was observing her, Yu Zhizhi also got a clear look at him. Her breath hitched. Perhaps it was because this was the first time she had ever seen such a beautiful...

Male of the Beast Clan.

She averted her gaze and lifted the plate a little higher. "Would you like some?"

The Mermaid moved his arm, and the iron chains clanked in the water.

Yu Zhizhi paused.

She put down the plate, speared a piece of apple with a fork, and brought it to his lips.

Just like she used to feed him before.

What Yu Zhizhi didn’t know was that the chains hidden beneath the water had been unlocked at some point.

As she was feeding him the second piece of apple, he suddenly grabbed her wrist. The world spun, and before she could react, she was pinned beneath the Mermaid.

She was half-submerged in the water, her long hair fanning out like seaweed.

Yu Zhizhi stared at him in shock.

The Mermaid’s ice blue eyes stared intently at her. CLICK, CLACK. With two sharp sounds, both of her wrists were shackled.

Immediately after, he removed the iron chain from his own neck.

Glancing at the little female’s stunned eyes, he smiled. "The chains aren’t hard to undo. I just didn’t have the strength before."

"So how do I have the strength now?"

"For that, I have you to thank."

"You never checked when you gave me the medicine. I just held it in my mouth; I never actually swallowed it."

As he spoke, he fastened the chain around the little female’s fair neck.

The other end of the chain was tethered to the side of the tub.

Now, Yu Zhizhi’s entire body was bound.

Her gaze flickered. "Then... why didn’t you escape?"

Earlier today, they were all gone.

’If the Mermaid had the strength to unlock his chains, why didn’t he take the opportunity to run?’

Yusen looked down at the little female chained beneath him. The azure water made her skin look even more delicate. With just the slightest movement, her neck was already chafed red by the iron chain.

A hint of a smile touched his light blue eyes.

"To wait for you, of course."

"...Wait for me?"

"Didn’t your guard say it? A Mermaid always kills its master. No exceptions."

Mermaids captured by other Empires will, upon gaining their freedom, kill their keepers to vent their personal grievances.

To this day, there have been no exceptions.

Yu Zhizhi couldn’t help but stir. The iron chains on her wrists were heavy; only after wearing them did she realize just how much they weighed.

The shackle around her neck was so tight it was suffocating. She couldn’t struggle, forced to tilt her head back as a tear formed in the corner of her eye. "I’ve been very good to you. I even got your eyes back."

’So... you can’t kill me.’

Yusen stared at the little rabbit’s pitiful expression as he grasped his own wrist, rotating it gently.

"You only kept me because you think Mermaids are Rare, isn’t that right?" the youth’s voice was chilling.

"That’s not it..."

Yu Zhizhi wracked her brain. "I... I also brought you apples."

’That’s right. She had brought him apples. She’d cut them into little pieces and brought them in so happily. She’d used the precious broken dream to buy him. She hadn’t forced him to get prosthetic eyes. Her mind was full of him even during her heat. She’d even found the Mermaid’s Eye for him. And she’d brought him apples.’

’So—’

"Do you like me?" Yusen asked, looking down at the little female half-submerged in the tub. The azure water had soaked her white dress, causing it to cling to her skin like fine gauze, her slender waist faintly visible.

"..."

Yu Zhizhi stared at him blankly. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

She wasn’t under the influence of that strange drug now. Her mind was clear, and faced with such a question, she didn’t know how to respond.

The Mermaid waited for a moment.

He didn’t get the answer he wanted to hear.

His gaze turned cold, then a malicious smile appeared on his face. "Then let me ask a different question."

His ice blue eyes were like a placid lake, and yet also like the sky just before a storm.

His lips parted and closed. After hearing his question, Yu Zhizhi’s cheeks instantly turned bright red.

Her rabbit ears burned as she instinctively cried out, "Of course not!"

’No way! That day, it was only because I’d been fed that strange medicine... that’s why I was so clingy with him... After all, he was the only Mermaid in the Moon Rising Empire. He could both neutralize the poison and help me complete my mission. It was the perfect solution.’

Seeing the little female’s struggle and denial, Yusen’s eyes darkened. The bite mark on her lips was especially glaring.

"Third question."

Yusen’s hand slowly wrapped around the chain. He gave it a gentle tug, and the iron shackle tightened around the little rabbit’s neck, forcing her closer.

The youth caressed her cherry-red lips. "Who kissed you?"

Yu Zhizhi sensed the dangerous aura radiating from the Mermaid, and her body couldn’t stop trembling.

Seeing her avoid the question, the Mermaid smiled. "Was it Louis?"

As another male, he could smell the sickening scent on that guy. And that day, when Louis made the little rabbit choose, his lust for her had been obvious.

"I want him dead."
