Chapter 392: "Who Did You Miss More, Him or Me?

Yu Zhizhi was really looking forward to Spirit Art class now~

Today had been an exception. She had taken the Ice Crystal Dragon out for a spin, and by the time she got back, it was already dark, so class was naturally canceled.

Louis held her from behind. He thought about the news reports. ’Did she cross mountains and rivers, coming to such a dangerous place, just to see Cang Lan?’

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. Louis pressed a hand to his right eye. ’This familiar aura...’

"Lou."

Louis warned in a low voice, "Don’t cause trouble."

Hearing Louis’s words, Yu Zhizhi turned around in surprise.

’Does Lou want to come out?’

"Is that Lou?" she asked.

Seeing the little female’s sparkling eyes, Louis slowly released his hand. "Not just yet."

With Lou’s personality, he would probably whisk the little rabbit away the moment he came out.

"You want to see him?" Louis’s dark eyes stared intently at the Rabbit Clan female before him.

Yu Zhizhi pursed her lips slightly. "It’s been a while since I last saw him."

In her dreams, she mostly saw Louis and Spider.

’Can Lou not compete with them?’

For some reason, Yu Zhizhi suddenly wanted to laugh. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly as she wrapped her arms around Louis’s. "Have you eaten? Should I go find you something?"

"I have," Louis replied, walking into the house with her.

Yu Zhizhi was going to take a bath.

Louis stood guard outside the door.

He listened to the sound of running water inside, his back against the door. He lowered his head slightly, his short black hair nearly covering his eyes.

’If I’m to take Zhi Zhi away, the safest place would be Paradise.’

’But—’

’Given Spider’s personality, I’m not sure if returning to Paradise would be any better than staying here.’

’What does Zhi Zhi think?’

Ever since she advanced to SS+, the eyes of the entire world had been on her.

The position of First Beast Husband was of the utmost importance.

Yu Zhizhi finished her bath. She was wearing a long, white nightgown and had towel-dried her hair until it was half-damp before slowly walking out of the bathroom.

She opened the door and saw Louis’s figure stir.

He turned his head to look at the little female who had just finished bathing. Her cheeks were flushed as if from the steam, and her eyes shimmered with a watery mist. Damp strands of long hair fell across her chest, her collarbone peeking out from beneath her neckline.

A flicker of emotion crossed Louis’s eyes. He took the towel from the little rabbit’s hands. "Let me."

Yu Zhizhi only came up to his chest. She obediently let him dry her hair for her.

Louis smelled the sweet jasmine scent on her, which was even stronger after her bath. He dried her damp rabbit ears first, their fine fur fluffing up slightly.

The long, quiet night felt just like being back in the little wooden cabin on Zero Star Street long ago.

Louis had always taken care of her daily needs.

Yu Zhizhi was tired from her outing today, so she naturally leaned into Louis’s embrace.

He smiled, put down the towel, and picked her up.

She clung to Louis lazily.

Yu Zhizhi was placed on the bed, but she still clung to Louis’s hand.

"Where do you want to go next?" Louis asked softly, leaning against the bed frame.

Yu Zhizhi thought for a moment. "...I’m not sure yet."

’I won’t know what the next mission is until I complete this one.’

Louis: "Do you want to go back to Varolan?"

Yu Zhizhi froze for a second, then slowly shook her head.

’No way.’

’Otherwise, the Duke will catch me and force me to marry some other young man from the Snake Clan.’

’It was so hard to escape...’

Louis’s thoughts turned to news about Tang Luo Ke. He had been missing for a long time, and his whereabouts were still unknown.

Yu Zhizhi murmured, "If only... I could have my own territory..."

’Then I wouldn’t have to keep running around everywhere, right?’

However, her qualification for a territory was being held up by the Empire Alliance. She didn’t know which requirement she failed to meet, but it hadn’t been approved yet.

’So complicated.’

And once she actually had a territory, the first thing she’d have to worry about was the problem of military strength.

Without troops, the territory could be attacked by sea pirates.

Louis thought of the little rabbit’s earlier invitation. The corner of his mouth curved up, and he reached out to gently caress her cheek. When he saw her lift her glistening eyes to his, his heart stirred, and he couldn’t help but lean down and kiss her.

Yu Zhizhi felt a soft kiss land on her eye.

She closed her eyes.

Louis’s kisses slowly traveled down, past the tip of her nose, to the corner of her lips.

’Even though he hadn’t said a word...’

Yu Zhizhi felt a ticklish, tingly, and warm sensation in her heart.

Louis’s warm palm rested on her waist and slowly slid upward. A shiver ran through Yu Zhizhi’s body. She hugged the man in front of her, feeling his gentle caress.

Yu Zhizhi couldn’t help but let out a soft moan.

Her cheeks were flushed, and she shyly buried her face in his chest.

Louis chuckled softly.

The gentle press of his thumb sent a deeper tremor through her.

Yu Zhizhi’s body went completely limp.

She felt Louis brush away the strands of hair clinging to her cheek, then lift her by the nape of her neck to meet his deep kiss.

’Ngh... My brain is running out of oxygen.’

When she finally realized what Louis was doing, Yu Zhizhi froze for a moment, then hurriedly tried to stop him. "Don’t, don’t..."

Louis easily caught her wrists. He knelt on one knee and lifted her by the small of her back.

Yu Zhizhi was on the verge of crying from panic.

’There...’

’Don’t kiss me there.’

She covered her mouth with both hands, a faint moan escaping between her fingers. As she felt Louis’s tenderness, the corners of Yu Zhizhi’s eyes turned red, and her misty gaze made it look as if she’d been bullied to tears.

The more intense the desire in Louis’s heart grew, the more the other two forces within his body surged. He stopped, propping his forehead up with one hand, his eyes darkening slightly.

’Oof... He finally stopped.’

Yu Zhizhi quickly burrowed under the covers. It was sticky and damp.

And there was a unique scent.

Gradually, Louis’s black eyes turned emerald green. He sneered, "Couldn’t hold back, could you? I still got my turn in the end!"

A man as rational and calm as Louis would only lose control when it came to the little rabbit.

Lou looked up and saw the little thing curled up under the blanket, and a fire of irritation ignited in his heart—

’Ever since I saw that bullshit newspaper, this little female has been so fickle. Wasn’t she just inviting us to her territory? How could she suddenly announce she’s marrying that dead tiger?’

He yanked on the blanket. "What are you hiding for? Come out. We need to talk."

Yu Zhizhi flinched slightly. The young man’s tone had clearly changed. She slowly peeked her head out and met a pair of deep, emerald eyes.

She said in surprise, "Lou?!"

Lou snorted. "So you still remember me. How touching."

’The little rabbit must have had her fun while she was out.’

’First that stupid cat, now this dead tiger.’

’What, you’re into felines now?’

An undeniable joy appeared in Yu Zhizhi’s eyes. She had been worried about Lou, afraid he might have disappeared. But it seemed he was still as lively as ever.

Lou stared intently at the curled-up little female. Thinking about what Louis had just done to her, he asked in a sour tone, "Were you more eager to see Louis, or me?"
