Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands

Buli had never expected Lord Shen He to suddenly ask about this.

He thought of that love letter, of the undisguised affection within.

"Th-this..." The brown-haired young man stammered. He didn’t know how to bring up matters of the heart.

Seeing his subordinate’s discomfort, Shen He casually looked away. "Forget it. You don’t have to answer. Go run."

Buli: "...Yes!"

He was relieved.

The love letter from the young lady of the Dolphin Clan was too explicit; he really couldn’t bring himself to describe it. Buli’s personality was naturally cautious and reserved; he wasn’t used to bringing such matters out into the open.

’Thinking of these eight hundred laps...’

Buli gritted his teeth and caught up with the army’s ranks.

The Hanhai Army he belonged to was directly commanded by Lord Shen He and was the most powerful and valiant fighting force in the Deep Sea Empire.

The army’s military achievements were outstanding, as boundless and vast as a river of stars.

Because of the army’s name, Lord Shen He was revered on the Beast World Planet as the Hai Giant Shark.

Their daily training was exceptionally rigorous.

And Lord Shen He himself had been just as dedicated for a decade, never once stopping.

The Miracle Training Ground was where he spent most of his time.

「Evening.」

A carriage stopped outside Bishui Pavilion.

Seeing Royal Palace servants coming and going, the brown-haired young man stopped one to ask what was happening before reporting back to Lord Shen He.

"My lord, I’ve found out what’s going on. It’s about the Little Prince Blue Whale. His appetite was astonishing before, and everyone thought he was just having a growth spurt, but then..."

"It was Miss Rabbit who discovered that he might be sick. He has parasites in his stomach."

Buli’s tone was full of admiration:

"Miss Rabbit is so meticulous. She’s truly worthy of being a rare Healing System power user. If she hadn’t discovered it early, who knows how much the Little Prince would have suffered."

"Is he cured?" Shen He asked.

Buli: "He is. Miss Rabbit healed him personally."

Shen He entered Bishui Pavilion.

He saw that the lights were on in the Little Prince Blue Whale’s room.

The door was ajar. Inside, the young woman was feeding the Blue Whale Cub, and Yusen was at her left, watching her quietly.

It was unclear what the mermaid said, but she looked up, smiled at him, and handed the utensils she was holding to Yusen.

She stood slightly on her tiptoes, moved closer to Yusen’s ear, and appeared to be whispering a secret.

Shen He calmly watched this exceptionally harmonious and beautiful scene.

They looked just like a young couple deeply in love.

His chest gradually tightened. He averted his gaze, his pace not faltering in the slightest. "Does the army have a physical examination tomorrow?"

Buli: "Yes, my lord."

The Hanhai Army has a physical examination once a month.

It’s a huge undertaking.

It requires a large number of medical personnel.

"Bring Miss Rabbit along." With those words, Shen He closed his door.

The brown-haired young man froze.

’Did I mishear him? Lord Shen He actually wants to bring Ms. Zhi Zhi along.’

He never let outsiders get involved in the Hanhai Army’s affairs.

Of course, Buli was happy to see the relationship between Lord Shen He and Ms. Zhi Zhi improving. He went to the Little Prince Blue Whale’s room, faithfully relayed his lord’s wishes, and formally invited Ms. Zhi Zhi to accompany them to the army barracks tomorrow.

Yu Zhizhi was more than happy to.

She nodded. "Okay~"

She had gotten along with some of the army’s soldiers on the ship, though at the time she had only thought they were members of the ship’s crew, or maybe even "pirates."

But they had gotten along very well.

Besides, she hadn’t seen Sea Snake Siqi or the Tiger Whale Soldiers in a long time.

Nearby, Yusen, who was feeding the Blue Whale Cub, quietly averted his gaze. His hands didn’t stop moving; thinking of that Great White Shark’s actions, he knew this matter wasn’t so simple.

’The typical trick of a despicable, mature man.’

’Using work as an excuse to slowly encroach.’

’I will never let Shen He succeed.’

「Nightfall.」

After Yu Zhizhi fell asleep, Yusen went to the bathroom. He submerged himself in the pool, the frosty aura from his body causing the bathroom’s temperature to plummet to fifty degrees below zero. The hot water turned to an icy river, the cold so piercing that his internal organs began to ache.

After a night like that, he successfully fell ill, just as he had wished...

When Yu Zhizhi found him, the Mermaid Youth was leaning against the side of the pool, the water having long since gone cold.

Fever had flushed Yusen’s pale face crimson. His short, slightly curled brown hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to his forehead. When he looked up at her, his misty-blue eyes were clouded with a haze from the fever, making him look utterly pitiful.

"Prince Yusen..."

She hurried over and reached out to feel his forehead.

’So hot!’

With the help of the Black-clothed Steward, Yusen was moved to his bed.

Yu Zhizhi began looking for medicine for him.

At the door, Buli had come to find her early in the morning. "Ms. Zhi Zhi, it’s time to leave."

Lord Shen He was waiting outside.

"You should go..." Yusen said slowly, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible. "I’m fine."

The Black-clothed Steward immediately interjected, "How can you be fine? You’re burning up! Your Highness, you should have Ms. Zhi Zhi stay and take care of you. The army has plenty of medical staff; they won’t miss one person like Ms. Zhi Zhi."

Buli glanced impassively at the Undersea Steward, then quickly spoke up:

"Actually, it’s also time for Si Qi’s check-up. Since Ms. Zhi Zhi was the one who healed his contamination last time, it would be best for her to check on him personally."

They were both trying to secure an advantage for their respective lords.

The gazes of the Black-clothed Steward and Buli clashed mid-air, and faint sparks seemed to crackle between them.

Yu Zhizhi looked at Yusen. Curled up in bed, he looked so pitiful.

She pursed her lips slightly. "Mr. Buli, please tell Lord Shen He that I won’t be going today. As for Si Qi, I can find another time to visit him."

Buli knew that Miss Rabbit had made her decision.

She had chosen Prince Merfolk.

He nodded. "Very well."

Before leaving, Buli glanced at the Mermaid Youth lying in bed. Even as a fellow male, he couldn’t help but marvel. Prince Yusen was truly worthy of the Mermaid Clan, with his naturally stunning looks. How many females in the Empire had lost their hearts to him after just a single glance?

’If I were Miss Rabbit, I’d also feel pity for him in his sickly state.’

Yu Zhizhi sat by the bed and gently wiped the sweat from Yusen’s cheeks with a damp towel.

Suddenly, she felt her fingers being grasped.

Yusen slowly drew closer, pressing his scorching face against the back of her hand. The tip of his nose brushed against her fingers, his warm breath tickling her skin. His brilliant red lips were very, very close to the young woman’s slender fingers...

The Black-clothed Steward quickly turned and left, closing the door on his way out.

Buli reported faithfully, "Prince Yusen is gravely ill."

That was why Ms. Zhi Zhi had chosen him.

He saw that Lord Shen He’s deep-set features, there in the carriage, seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud, and even his rock-gray eyes had turned dark and grim.

After a long moment, a smile tugged at the man’s lips, but it didn’t reach his eyes. It was a little unsettling. "Gravely ill? Good. Excellent. He’s finally willing to make a move."

In Shen He’s estimation, Yusen should have done this long ago.

His goal had been achieved.

It wasn’t a waste to have taken that blow from Yusen in the Political Hall.

Buli couldn’t help but mutter inwardly—

’Prince Yusen has finally decided to win Miss Rabbit back. Lord Shen He, are you truly happy about this now?’
