Chapter 420 - 419: Why Did You Stop Biting?

Cang Lan stared at the little female before him. Her question was so sincere that for a moment, he forgot to push her away.

Yu Zhizhi didn’t know what the Big Tiger liked.

’Something he cares a lot about...’

’It’s probably the Ice Crystal Dragon, but the Ice Crystal Dragon is far away in the Moon Rising Empire, so there’s no way for me to take care of it.’

’Other than that...’

The only other thing Yu Zhizhi could think of was her blood.

But Cang Lan didn’t seem willing to drink her blood right now. Besides, the mere thought of the Big Tiger drinking her blood made her tremble with fear.

Cang Lan found this rabbit utterly infuriating.

’What on earth is going through her head when she does these things?’

’Is she toying with me?’

He tightened his grip on Yu Zhizhi’s wrist, then abruptly let go. "You want to make me happy?"

Cang Lan’s tone turned mocking. "Why don’t you just divorce your husband?"

Yu Zhizhi froze. "...Divorce him?"

"When you’ve publicly divorced that wolf, then you can come find me."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Yu Zhizhi said in a small voice, "I-I can’t."

’In any case, because of this marriage contract, I don’t have to choose to go to any Empire for now. When Tang Luo Ke comes back, he should be willing to let me stay in his territory.’

’Besides...’

’If I really "divorced him," and Tang Luo Ke found out...’

Yu Zhizhi didn’t dare to think about it any further.

Seeing the troubled look on the little rabbit’s face, Cang Lan felt a pang of bitterness. ’She really is incredibly fond of that wolf, isn’t she.’

’So many people came to the Extreme Ice Palace, yet she didn’t choose a single one.’

’The Valoran Empire’s most powerful War Weapon...’

’I heard that she was already with that wolf back when she was just a D-level female.’

’They’ve been together the longest.’

’What a deeply devoted couple.’

Yu Zhizhi didn’t know what to say. She looked at the single Firefly Flower still in her hand, then turned and placed it in the vase.

Cang Lan watched her. He had been watching ever since she was in the flower garden, picking flowers.

The little rabbit had busied herself for ages, carefully selecting this particular bouquet that looked exceptionally beautiful at night.

Yu Zhizhi was very pleased with her flower arrangement. She admired it for a moment, then, realizing it was getting late, she bade Cang Lan farewell. "Your Highness, I’ll be leaving now. You should get some rest. Good night."

She knew the Big Tiger wouldn’t respond.

So she didn’t wait and simply turned to leave.

Yu Zhizhi felt a little nervous, probably because Cang Lan had suddenly brought up the matter of divorce. She reached the door and had just opened it when a gust of wind swept up behind her—

Cang Lan was suddenly behind her. He reached out from behind and pushed the door she had just cracked open shut.

CLICK.

A crisp sound.

Yu Zhizhi felt Cang Lan’s presence closing in, right behind her. It was as if he were enveloping her in an embrace from the back.

"Didn’t you want to make me happy?"

Cang Lan slowly lifted the long hair from her shoulder, gently sweeping it aside. He drew closer to the little rabbit’s shoulder. The sweet scent that he had smelled on her from the very beginning was now even richer, constantly tempting him.

Yu Zhizhi had a faint idea of what the Big Tiger wanted to do...

Her breath caught, and she slowly tightened her grip on the hem of her dress.

Cang Lan bared his sharp fangs. He lowered his head and bit down.

A sharp pain shot through her shoulder, but it vanished quickly, replaced by an indescribable wave of pleasure. Yu Zhizhi’s cheeks flushed red. Cang Lan held her by the waist from behind, his other hand securing her jaw and making her turn her head slightly—

His lips left her shoulder and moved to the Rabbit Clan female’s snowy-white neck. Sensing her slight tremble, Cang Lan grew more excited.

He bit down harder.

The long period without feeding heightened his senses toward this "delicacy." The little rabbit’s blood was even more alluring than before, and he found himself completely addicted.

Cang Lan heard her faint, shallow gasps.

He swallowed a few times, then slowly lifted his head. Seeing a trickle of blood run down her neck, he licked it away.

Yu Zhizhi opened her misty eyes. Her body felt weak; if he hadn’t been holding her, she might have already collapsed to the floor.

She gently took hold of the hand Cang Lan had placed on her waist.

Cang Lan’s movements paused. Just as he thought the little rabbit was about to push him away, she simply stroked his knuckles slowly.

’...Did getting bitten make her stupid?’

’Has she lost even her most basic survival instinct?’

Yu Zhizhi noticed the person behind her had stopped moving. She turned her head in confusion, looking up to stare earnestly into his eyes, as if asking—

’What’s wrong?’

’Why did you stop biting?’

Cang Lan suddenly realized she had probably interpreted his actions as him wanting to bury the hatchet...

His bloodlust suddenly faded, becoming light enough for his reason to control.

Now, looking at the little female before him, she still had that innocent expression. He slowly lowered his head, getting closer and closer until their noses were almost touching.

Yu Zhizhi’s heart skipped a beat. Thinking Cang Lan was about to kiss her, she couldn’t help but close her eyes.

After a long moment, she didn’t feel the Big Tiger make his next move.

She suddenly heard a soft, mocking laugh beside her ear.

Cang Lan touched her lips with his finger, his voice slightly hoarse. "...What are you expecting? You’re just a blood bag. Who would kiss you?"

’So I misunderstood...’

Yu Zhizhi opened her eyes, her cheeks flushed, and she averted her gaze uncomfortably.

’...A blood bag?’

’Oh well, a blood bag is a blood bag. At least I can get close to him now. I just don’t know if this will increase his affection for me.’

Yu Zhizhi lowered her head, her rabbit ears drooping slightly. She looked a little wilted.

Cang Lan suddenly pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him. "You’re not willing to be a blood bag?"

"...I am," she replied softly. "It’s just... if you drink too much blood, my head gets dizzy."

’If it could end relatively quickly, like today, that would be even better.’

The little rabbit’s voice sounded a bit pitiful. Cang Lan glanced at the bite mark on her neck, which was still a faint crimson.

The mere sight of it made his fangs ache.

He looked away. "Drink more Blood Replenishing Potion."

"Oh..."

"Come here tomorrow morning," Cang Lan said, his tone a bit stiff.

Yu Zhizhi’s eyes lit up—

’The Big Tiger actually invited me over!’

She nodded eagerly. "Okay, okay!"

The previously wilted little rabbit immediately perked up, as if she had been long anticipating his invitation.

Cang Lan slowly took a step back.

’I have to stay on guard at all times.’

’This rabbit abandoned me once; she’ll do it a second time.’

’I can’t let myself get attached.’

’Since she has no intention of divorcing her husband, I’ll just let her be a blood bag.’

"You can go now."

Cang Lan started to usher her out.

Yu Zhizhi, her mind still on his invitation, happily pulled the door open. After taking just one step out, she feared the Big Tiger might change his mind and turned back to look at him. "So, I’ll come over tomorrow morning?"

Cang Lan gave a soft "Mm."

Only then did Yu Zhizhi feel relieved.
