Chapter 225: "I Am the Cub’s Father!

A damp, hot kiss landed on her cheek, lingering before moving to the corner of her lips.

Yu Zhizhi shivered slightly.

The Lord of Paradise’s body was cold, but his kiss was exceptionally hot.

A silent exchange.

Their breathing grew heavier.

Yu Zhizhi’s consciousness began to blur, and her body felt weightless. She could feel the touch of spider limbs, and a scythe-like spider leg pressed gently against the side of her thigh.

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

The little rabbit’s dark hair fanned out, her innocent face flushed with a sublime allure. The corners of her watery eyes were tinged with red. She felt spider silk wrap around her waist; without the blindfold, she could see everything with perfect clarity.

A hint of panic appeared in her eyes. "Wh... Why are there three?"

’Why does a Spider have three reproductive organs?’

"To prevent being devoured by the female during mating." The Lord of Paradise’s voice was slightly hoarse. His voice caught, then he suddenly laughed.

’That description isn’t quite accurate.’

’Devoured...’

Thinking of a certain possibility, desire flared in his eyes.

Yu Zhizhi’s voice trembled uncontrollably. "I can’t... I can’t take all of them..."

He picked her up.

The man’s hoarse voice fell beside her ear. "You can. With proper allocation, it’s just right."

...

The Spider’s consciousness returned to Paradise.

When he awoke, he was sitting in the empty grand hall.

The flush on his face was proof of his pleasure.

’It all felt so real...’

’A pity it was only a Dream Entry.’

If it had been real, the collision of their souls would have been clearer, more intense. He leaned back on the throne, looking up at the wisp of dark green spectral fire above the hall, the deep desire in his heterochromatic eyes hard to conceal.

His power of Manipulation included dreams.

The little rabbit’s lingering scent had allowed him to follow her into her dreams.

But she never told him where she was.

Even when...

Even when he’d tormented her until her cries were hoarse, she had still just clutched his clothes tightly and shaken her head desperately.

She’d said, "No more, no more."

But she didn’t know that the more she cried, the more aroused the Spider became.

A Crow flew into the grand hall, landing on the floor before the throne.

"Lord Leader." It looked up. "I’ve found it. In the deepest part of the Thunder Abyss, there is a..."

The Crow’s black feathers trembled slightly, its body shaking with excitement. "Your Beast Egg."

’A Beast Egg?’

The Lord of Paradise suddenly looked over.

After retaking control of his body, the first thing he did was look for the little rabbit.

He hadn’t noticed that something new had appeared in his territory.

The Crow’s form slowly grew larger. It flew to the doorway, then carefully cradled the Beast Egg in its claws as it approached the throne.

The Lord of Paradise saw the snow-white Beast Egg. He had only ever seen such a pure color on the little rabbit.

’A certain possibility instantly surfaced in his mind...’

The moment his fingers touched the Beast Egg, he confirmed that it was his own bloodline.

What excited him most was the lingering scent of the little rabbit on the Beast Egg.

’This is our...’

’Our child.’

Those two words nearly stole his breath and stopped his heart. Unsuppressible joy appeared on the Lord of Paradise’s face, but when he remembered the Beast Egg had been brought from the depths of the Thunder Abyss, his body suddenly stiffened.

"...Louis!"

The Spider ground his teeth.

’That despicable bastard, he knew the little rabbit was carrying our child all along?!’

’He even hid the Beast Egg!’

’What, was he planning to keep it for himself?!’

The Crow immediately flapped its wings and flew away, afraid of being caught in its lord’s wrath.

Just as it landed at the entrance, it sensed something was wrong—

The Leader’s three personalities appeared in rotation; at any given time, only one of their auras was present.

’But now they seemed to be mixed together?’

The Crow stared blankly.

On the giant throne of bone, three different expressions shifted unpredictably across the man’s face.

At times furious, at times overjoyed, at times calm.

The fury belonged to the Spider, who was enraged that Louis had hidden the Beast Egg.

The ecstatic joy belonged to Lou; he had never imagined the little rabbit would bear him a little spider child!

The calmness belonged to Louis. With Yu Zhizhi gone, he couldn’t be bothered to fight for control of the body and would rather just get some sleep.

Of the three, Lou, the weakest, was the first to speak: "That’s my child! I can smell it! My scent is all over it!"

The Spider resisted the urge to roll his eyes. In fact, their scents were identical.

’After all, they shared the same body.’

Louis remained silent.

Lou continued to shout, "In Paradise, the little rabbit spent the most time with me! Hmph, we did it the most, so it must be my child!"

Louis airily tossed out, "I was the first."

Lou choked.

A thread of silk wrapped around the Spider’s fingertip as he said darkly, "During her heat, for those three days in the grand hall, it was only me. Therefore, I am the child’s father."

Louis let out a laugh. "I was the first."

It was like a knife to the Spider’s chest. He looked up coldly.

Meanwhile, Lou’s breathing grew heavier, and he said, flustered and exasperated, "You actually hid the Beast Egg in the depths of the Thunder Abyss! You animal, were you trying to keep the child all to yourself?!"

"Hm? And what of it?" Louis said nonchalantly. "After all, I was the first."

This one sentence had a triple meaning.

He was the first of the three to be intimate with the little rabbit.

He was also the first of the three to know the little rabbit was carrying their child.

And he was the first of the three to see the Beast Egg.

Lou couldn’t take it anymore. He shrieked, "That bastard deserves to die! Spider, let’s kill him together!!!"

...

The captured young female from the Rabbit Clan didn’t wake up until noon the next day.

The brown-haired young man was very worried and reported the matter to Lord Shen He.

The door opened.

Shen He walked in.

Inside the room, the curtains were tightly drawn. In the dim light, he saw the young female lying on the bed. The blanket was kicked aside, and her body was covered in a thin sheen of sweat.

The brown-haired young man standing guard outside slowly closed the door.

Shen He pulled out a chair and sat by the bed, his gaze falling on the young female’s sweat-dampened face. He didn’t know what she was dreaming about, but her cheeks were flushed crimson, her breathing was rapid, and she looked as if she were in pain.

Suddenly, she let out a moan.

Shen He’s eyes showed a flicker of surprise.

Soon, he realized what was happening.

’He’d only gotten a good look at her twice in total.’

’The first time was in his room. The young female had been trembling, not daring to lift her head or look at him. Her back was practically glued to the door; anyone could see she wanted to escape.’

’The second time was in the dining hall. She was covered in blood, saturated with his scent. Her dazed and clueless look had truly pleased him.’

’And this time...’

Shen He leaned back in his chair, crossing his right leg over his left knee, and watched with great interest as the little rabbit made those suggestive sounds.

’To think that such a side was hidden beneath her pure, innocent exterior.’

’Having a wet dream while asleep in a dangerous situation?’

’What a lewd little rabbit.’

’I wonder who she’s dreaming about.’

The man felt his pocket, pulled out a cigar, and bit down on it thoughtfully.

Yu Zhizhi gradually woke up.

She had been trapped in a long, long dream.

In the dream, the Lord of Paradise’s presence had been so fiery and distinct that everything felt real. She even felt sore and weak all over, finding it a struggle just to get out of bed.

Suddenly, she saw that someone seemed to be sitting by her bed.

The faint red ember stood out in the darkness.
