Chapter 433 - 432: Honeymoon Battlefield! (Part 1)

In the pitch-black room, the man’s long hair cascaded down like a waterfall. His left eye was like obsidian, and his right resembled jadeite agate. Yu Zhizhi saw her own reflection in the depths of his eyes.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes brimmed with moisture. She shyly clutched the corner of the Lord of Paradise’s robes. "Ma-Master Spider..."

Following the man’s instructions, she slowly lifted her hips.

Yu Zhizhi felt like her heart was about to explode. She had no strength left and could only beg for mercy in a soft, breathy voice.

But all she got in return was a more ruthless impact.

’The Spider is so rough sometimes...’

’SOB SOB...’

Later, she couldn’t remember how much time had passed. Yu Zhizhi finally saw Louis and tearfully rushed over to him.

Louis held her and gave her a light kiss.

After a while, he coaxed her to get on top of him.

...

「The next day, at dusk.」

Yu Zhizhi gradually stirred awake. Curled on her side under the covers, she felt a pang of indignation thinking about last night. She heard voices conversing in the hallway—it was Ai Xi and Louis.

She pulled the blanket up and hid.

Louis didn’t push open her door.

The little rabbit was truly exhausted; he wanted to let her rest more.

At the Extreme Ice Palace, Cang Lan had been distracted all day.

The Lizard Servant had been standing guard outside the long hall. Ever since Ms. Zhi Zhi’s bonding, the Prince had not come out.

After a whole night, there was finally some movement from within the room.

Thinking the Prince was getting up, it entered the room to attend to him.

But instead—

It saw the Crown Prince using a Transmission Ripple, and in his hand, he was carrying the Young Master...?

The Lizard Servant froze on the spot.

"Y-Your Highness, where are you going?" ’The fighting within the Moon Rising Empire has died down quite a bit recently, so why is His Highness using a Transmission Ripple?’

The Lizard Servant hurriedly shouted, "There’s an Empire council meeting this afternoon! If the council members ask—"

Cang Lan cut him off directly. "Tell them I’ve gone to the Sky Star Territory."

The Lizard Servant watched, wide-eyed, as Cang Lan vanished through the Teleportation Array.

’I didn’t mishear him, did I?’

’The Sky Star Territory?!’

’Isn’t that Ms. Zhi Zhi’s territory? She just had her bonding ceremony two days ago. She should be on her honeymoon with the Paradise Leader right now.’

’Why in the world is His Highness going there now?’

Yu Zhizhi sat at the dining table, scooping up a sesame tangyuan and popping it into her mouth. Across from her, the Little Octopus was reading the latest newspaper delivered by a Vulture that morning. A dark, ice-colored Little Elf rested obediently on Yu Zhizhi’s shoulder, its small wings fluttering gently.

"Hmm, a provisional victory?" The Little Octopus looked at the news from the Deep Sea Empire. It flipped the newspaper with one tentacle and propped up its head with another. "Looks like we won’t have to deal with those smugglers for a while."

As for the Moon Rising Empire, the news was just the usual reports of various discussions and meetings.

There was also a summary of the Paradise Leader’s bonding process.

As for the Valoran Empire—

The First Duke’s wedding was approaching, and discussions about it were at a fever pitch.

The Little Octopus set the newspaper aside, picked up its bowl, and swallowed all the remaining tangyuan one by one.

"I’m going back to my room to check on Xiao Hong!"

With that, it scurried away.

As soon as the Little Elf heard "Xiao Hong," it quickly followed.

The "Xiao Hong" it mentioned was another dark red Pet Egg. Although it had been placed in the Incubator with Aquilia, its development was clearly much slower.

Yu Zhizhi saw the newspaper the Little Octopus had left behind. She picked it up and slowly scanned through it.

Her gaze paused for a moment when she saw the news about the Duke.

She carefully searched the rest of the paper, but there was no news about Tang Luo Ke.

*Sigh.*

Yu Zhizhi sighed softly in her heart.

Back in Greenfield City, some soldiers from the Deep Sea Empire who had been captured by smugglers were rescued by the Big Shark, but Tang Luo Ke had vanished without a trace.

Although he was much stronger than those soldiers, his spiritual power was prone to going berserk and becoming chaotic, so Yu Zhizhi was extremely worried about him.

She always paid extra attention to any news about the Valoran Empire.

Yu Zhizhi prayed silently, hoping Tang Luo Ke was safe and would return soon.

Footsteps echoed from the hallway outside the dining room.

Ai Xi, standing at the door, bowed and said, "Lord Leader."

Hearing that it was Louis and the others, Yu Zhizhi’s rabbit ears twitched. She turned her back in a huff, not wanting to acknowledge their arrival.

As soon as Louis entered, he saw the little rabbit with her back to the entrance. She was still holding her bowl, her small spoon slowly stirring the white tangyuan inside.

"Zhi Zhi." Louis walked to her chair, knelt on one knee, and looked up at the small female of the Rabbit Clan before him. "I’ve already spoken with them. For the next few days, we’ll let you rest well."

The little rabbit still had a tangyuan stuffed in her mouth, her cheeks puffed out slightly, and a trace of indignation lingered in her eyes. She looked just like an angry little dumpling, impossibly cute. Louis cleared his throat and averted his gaze.

’Damn.’

’If I look at her for two more seconds, I’ll want to...’

Yu Zhizhi placed the small, porcelain-white bowl on the table and began to protest. "There are three of you, and only one of me...!"

She hadn’t been able to get out of bed for the past two days.

Even Louis would just smile and coax her, and before she knew it, she’d be completely devoured, her head spinning.

*SOB*—

Yu Zhizhi was now afraid to even see them.

A faint smile appeared on Louis’s face. He gently took Yu Zhizhi’s hand. "They will restrain themselves."

He slowly lifted the little rabbit’s hand and placed a light kiss upon it.

Suddenly, a flash of gold approached. Louis smelled a familiar scent. Just as he looked up, he saw a glittering golden tiger cub pounce into Yu Zhizhi’s arms—

"AWOO~ AWOO~~"

The little tiger cub was finally reunited with its mother. Its round tiger eyes crinkled into smiling slits, and its tail wagged back and forth behind it.

Louis’s expression faltered for a moment.

The little tiger cub’s paws landed right on the back of his hand.

It kicked a few times with a clear goal—to make this stinky Spider move his hand!

Louis slowly and deliberately withdrew his hand. He stood up, looking down at the unexpected guest that had suddenly appeared.

They hadn’t even brought the spider cubs with them to the territory this time, precisely so their honeymoon wouldn’t be disturbed.

But this tiger cub...

Having gotten its way, the little tiger cub grinned even more happily. It burrowed into Yu Zhizhi’s embrace and refused to come out.

Yu Zhizhi hugged it, a little surprised. "Little Star, you... how did you get here?"

When it left before, Yu Zhizhi didn’t even have a chance to say goodbye.

The Moon Rising Empire was very far from the territory. She immediately thought of the Transmission Ripple Prince Canglan had left here.

She shot to her feet—

’The Big Tiger didn’t come too, did he?’

The little tiger cub "AWOO"-ed a few more times. It was a size bigger than when it had left, and it was now a bit of a struggle for Yu Zhizhi to hold it.

’Soon, I probably won’t be able to carry it at all!’

"Lo-Louis, I’m going to take it to get cleaned up..."

Yu Zhizhi quickly left the dining room, holding the little tiger cub.

She had to go see if Prince Canglan had arrived. Her short message on the night of the bonding had gone unanswered, and Yu Zhizhi had been planning to contact him after Louis left.
