Chapter 208: The Little Rabbit is Carrying His Child

"I finally left Paradise and went to the residential area. According to my plan, I was going to visit the Mystical Forest within the Empire and become a trainee guard, patrolling the territory."

"My thought at the time was that I would use those two months to fulfill all my fantasies about living a normal life."

"But in the end, I never made it to the Mystical Forest to become a guard."

"I went to Zero Star Street and became the personal Steward of a beautiful young lady."

"Of course, that was my choice."

"For me, those were the two most beautiful months of my life. In that small wooden cabin, I would sometimes wake up, look at the thick snow in the yard, and feel like it wasn’t real."

Louis’s experience of "real life" didn’t take him to some distant land; it happened right within the Paradise Area.

He cherished every single day he spent with the little female from the Rabbit Clan.

It was a beautiful, beautiful dream.

But all dreams must end.

"Actually, even before I managed to get this vacation, I had already made up my mind. After I came back, I would give up everything and fall into an eternal slumber."

"I was so sick of my days in Paradise. Every minute, every second was torture."

As the only personality who wanted to escape Paradise, Louis had been imprisoned here ever since his birth.

As the personalities fought for control of the body, gradually descending into madness, he had done many things to harm himself.

To outsiders, it looked like one act of self-harm after another.

Among all the personalities, his desire for self-destruction was the strongest.

In this struggle that dragged on day after day, year after year, Louis eventually saw through to the essence of it all. In that moment, nothing mattered anymore.

Becoming the sole master of the body was no longer important.

Living was no longer important either.

He left Paradise. In the Lost Tower, during Lou’s prank of trying to seize control of the body, he pulled a little female of the Rabbit Clan from the sole point of Light in the midst of chaos.

Desire surged in the depths of his heart.

Louis restrained himself with all his might. He didn’t want to harm this innocent little rabbit.

’I should have fallen into an eternal sleep in the darkness...’

The moment he shut the door, the little female stopped him.

She handed him the "antidote."

Through the crack in the door, Louis saw her clear, sparkling eyes, and in that instant, the sound of his own heartbeat became deafeningly clear.

Recalling their first meeting, a slight smile graced Louis’s lips. "Miss, I truly like you very much."

"I like everything about you. I want to be close to you, but I can’t."

"My life is already on a countdown..."

Reason warred with emotion, desire tangled with affection. Louis knew he was sinking, fully aware.

"Louis..." It was the first time Yu Zhizhi had heard him say these things, and for a moment, she didn’t know how to respond.

"After returning to the depths of Paradise, I had intended to follow my original plan and fall into an eternal slumber."

"But then you came. I just couldn’t rest easy. I was afraid they would hurt you, just like right now, I’m afraid Spider will make things difficult for you."

"My way of thinking changed. It was as if my numb body had been struck by sunlight, and it sparked with new life."

"I have never been so determined—"

"I want to live."

"Even if it means going back to the same uninteresting, tedious days that I despise, I still want to live."

"I absolutely cannot leave you here alone to face this cold, cruel world by yourself."

"Lou is willing to die for you..."

Louis’s dark, deep eyes were filled with tenderness. His fingers brushed a strand of hair from the young woman’s face. "I am willing to live for you."

Even though the battle was grim, and the Spider, with his incomplete Strength, could perish at any moment, Louis insisted on the existence of his own personality, all for this very moment.

"So, you don’t need to hesitate at all. Whatever you need, I will do everything in my power to fulfill it."

"And don’t worry about hurting me..."

"You once asked me, if you had to choose between Moonrise and Varolan, how should you choose."

"My answer is the same—"

"Please, Miss, follow your own heart and pick the one you truly want. You don’t need to worry about anything else."

"You are the most important being in this world. You deserve all the love and beauty it has to offer."

"No matter what you choose, no one will truly blame you."

Louis seemed to guess that Zhi Zhi was being considerate of his feelings.

He smiled and emphasized, "No matter what you choose, I won’t blame you."

Although he would be sad and he would be hurt, he wanted the little rabbit to be happy more than anything.

"So... Miss, what do you want me to do?"

In the eyes of the crowd, the sole master of Paradise, the powerful leader who controlled everything, had at this moment become incomparably gentle and devout. "Please, give me your command."

Hearing Louis’s words, Yu Zhizhi’s heart surged with emotion. Her nose tingled, and a trace of joy and happiness welled up inside her. She couldn’t help but reach out and take his hand.

Her eyes were telling him something without a word—

Louis looked into the young woman’s clear rabbit-like eyes, and his gaze shifted slightly to her abdomen. In that instant, he understood.

A flicker of movement in the man’s deep eyes. He resisted the urge to reach out and touch her, overwhelmed by the excitement that was about to burst from his chest.

’The little rabbit is carrying my child.’

If Spider found out about this, it would be even more impossible for him to let her go.

And Zhi Zhi didn’t want to see Lou disappear.

So...

"I can use the power of Paradise to send you to a relatively hidden place. Including that wolf, of course."

Yu Zhizhi nodded emphatically.

She had to leave!

She had to take Tang Luo Ke with her!

Yu Zhizhi was afraid that if she left alone, the battle still wouldn’t end.

Louis looked at her, full of reluctance. A trace of bitterness was hidden in his tone. "Then so be it. I’ll send you over now."

He had already chosen a location.

It was neither within the borders of Moonrise, nor in the territory of Varolan—

Louis spread his hands. Just as he was about to summon the Array, the young woman in front of him suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Beneath a dark night of churning storm clouds and a deep violet vortex, a colossal spider body stood amidst the ruins. Its upper half maintained the form of a human male. The young woman before him slowly stepped onto a stone in front of her, rose onto her tiptoes, and initiated a kiss on his lips.

The live chat in the stream exploded like never before!!

Over a billion viewers watched this scene with bated breath. If it were just a screenshot or a video clip, no one would believe such a poignant farewell scene came from the Paradise Hunt!!

Louis felt the little female’s tenderness and affection.

He gently held her in his arms.

The kiss ended.

Yu Zhizhi lowered her heels. She looked up, her gaze fixed on Louis’s eyes. "In the future... someday in the future, I might have my own territory. Louis, will you come find me then?"

Louis stared at her, stunned.

’This is...’

’Her invitation?’

When a female who has her own territory invites a male, it means...

[The female wishes to form a bond with him.]

Yu Zhizhi nervously gripped his wrist and repeated, "Will you come find me? Please?"

A smile appeared on Louis’s face. He nodded. "Yes."

He agreed!!

「Meanwhile, at the Duke Mansion.」

The personal attendant stood by the door, watching the entire live broadcast of the hunt’s finale with the Duke. At this moment, he didn’t dare lift his head to look at the Duke, his back already soaked with sweat.

The personal attendant never would have imagined that Ms. Zhi Zhi would publicly "propose" to a male...

"CRACKLE—"

The personal attendant heard the sound of a match being struck inside the study.
