Chapter 131: Chapter 131: You Got Pregnant Fast
The little rabbit was filled with desire for him.
Even a light kiss was enough to make her wet.
This made Yusen extremely happy.
He had always loathed his half-Enchanting Shark blood, but in this moment, he was actually starting to feel grateful for it.
Because of this little female, the very part of himself that Yusen hated most was reshaping his entire self-perception.
’So what if I’m an Enchanting Shark?’
’As long as she likes it, there’s nothing disgusting about Enchanting Shark blood.’
Hearing the merman’s teasing, Yu Zhizhi’s face instantly flushed crimson. Even the fuzzy tips of her rabbit ears turned red.
She couldn’t help but squeeze her thighs together, which only made her more sensitive to his teasing fingers.
His words left her barely able to think.
Yu Zhizhi gasped softly.
"...Okay."
’Anything he said was fine with her.’
Hearing her answer, Yusen leaned down and kissed the corner of her mouth.
"It’s a deal. No backing out."
Or else...
...
Now that Yu Zhizhi had awakened her spiritual power, she often changed into her Beast Form and scurried all over the cabin.
Her rabbit form was an excellent jumper, and she would sometimes leap up to high places, only to be caught by an exasperated Louis.
Remembering the letter from the Divine Hall Alliance, Yu Zhizhi bounded up the stairs and scurried back into her room.
She went back to her bedroom.
The moment she landed on the bed, she shifted back to her human form and fished the letter she had been hiding out of her backpack.
It was an old-fashioned kraft paper envelope, stamped with the seal of the Divine Hall Alliance.
Yu Zhizhi stroked the seal. She was discovering that controlling her spiritual power was actually very simple. She just had to *think* about what she wanted to happen.
And so, she focused her thoughts: ’I want to open this letter.’
She felt a flow of pure white Spiritual Power travel from her fingertips into the envelope. A moment later, the seal broke, and a white light bloomed, bright but not blinding.
The letter was open.
A look of delight crossed Yu Zhizhi’s face. She opened the letter and pulled out a sheet of golden paper.
Unfolding it, she saw it was covered in elegant, flowing script written in black fountain pen ink, filling the entire page.
Hello, Ms. Zhi Zhi.
First, I must congratulate you on awakening your spiritual power and opening this letter yourself. Allow me to introduce myself.
I am the Zero Messenger of the Divine Hall Alliance. You may call me Zero.
What I am about to say is of the utmost importance. I hope that you, Ms. Zhi Zhi, will keep this to yourself and not tell a soul.
On behalf of the Divine Hall Alliance, I formally invite you, Ms. Zhi Zhi, to join us.
To put it simply, the Divine Hall Alliance is a gathering place for the unorthodox. Our purpose is to explore the profound mysteries of the world.
Perhaps, one day, you too, Ms. Zhi Zhi, will come to truly understand this planet.
If you are willing, you may memorize the Spell at the bottom of this letter. On the night of a full moon, light a candle and recite the Spell. You will then be able to enter the Divine Hall’s dreamscape and meet with us.
There, you can learn more about the Divine Hall Alliance and the benefits of joining us.
I await your arrival.
—Zero.
The Spell was simple, just a string of ancient words.
Yu Zhizhi didn’t recognize them, but miraculously, she knew how they were pronounced.
After just one glance, it was as if they were etched into her mind.
The moment she instinctively repeated the Spell, the letter in her hand turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished.
The envelope vanished along with it, leaving no trace.
"Divine Hall Alliance, a full moon, a Spell, a dreamscape..."
Yu Zhizhi murmured to herself.
’It all sounds so mystical.’
If Duke Bolan hadn’t personally confirmed back at the Duke Mansion that the letter was from the Divine Hall Alliance, Yu Zhizhi probably would have dismissed them as a bunch of con artists.
’They sent her a letter that early?’
’She hadn’t even awakened her spiritual power or Super Talent back then. What could she possibly do if she joined the Divine Hall? Be their mascot?’
’No matter how I look at it, it’s all so strange...’
’Well, I’ll just wait until the full moon and see. Maybe by then I’ll have changed my mind and will be willing to visit that so-called dreamscape.’
「Weekend.」
It was time for her call with the Duke.
Yu Zhizhi lay on her bed and put on the communication device. A cool sensation spread from her earpiece as she tapped it twice, and a connection tone began to sound.
BEEP... BEEP...
The call connected.
Yu Zhizhi said cheerfully, "Good evening, Duke!"
She heard a low, hoarse laugh, laced with a hazy drunkenness. "Good evening."
"You... have you been drinking?"
There was a long silence on the other end.
He seemed to finally realize it was Yu Zhizhi who was calling.
BEEP—
The communication device vibrated, and a floating prompt box popped up in front of Yu Zhizhi, asking to switch to video.
She quickly sat up and pressed the "accept" button.
The video feed appeared.
Yu Zhizhi saw that the room was dim. The lights were off, with only a sliver of moonlight spilling in from the window.
The Duke was leaning against the headboard, a deep purple robe draped over his shoulders. There was a faint flush on his cheeks, and his golden, vertical pupils were slightly unfocused as he stared, unmoving, at the screen.
Yu Zhizhi waited a moment, but he didn’t move.
She asked softly, "...Where’s Little Amon?"
"In a medicinal bath." The Duke’s hand went slack. CLINK. The sound of a wine bottle rolling away was exceptionally clear in the quiet of the night.
"Then... I won’t disturb your drinking."
The atmosphere felt wrong, and Yu Zhizhi decided to beat a retreat.
The Duke’s voice was hauntingly low. "Is there nothing you want to say to me?"
"Er..." Yu Zhizhi sat ramrod straight. She thought for a moment, then mumbled, "I’ve awakened my spiritual power. I can change into my Beast Form now."
"Oh?" The Duke narrowed his eyes at the screen. "Change for me. Let me see."
"Okay~"
Yu Zhizhi was more than happy to show off her newly learned Skill to people she knew. She silently counted to three, and with a soft POOF, she successfully changed into her bunny Beast Form, lying obediently on the pillow.
She lifted her little bunny head and looked proudly into the video feed, her expression clearly begging for praise.
The moment he saw the snow-white rabbit, the Duke’s previously cold expression vanished, and his golden, vertical pupils constricted sharply.
He felt a wave of heat boiling within him...
This little snow-white rabbit before him looked even more alluring...
’The merman was probably the first one to see her like this.’
A restless fire stirred in his heart.
He thought of the news he had received just today. Desire and anger tangled within him. He stared at the little rabbit for a long time before letting out a low chuckle. "Got pregnant quickly, didn’t you."
Yu Zhizhi, still reveling in her Beast Form, tilted her little bunny head. "What?"
"The merman’s child," the Duke gritted out.
The little bunny jolted, so startled that she instantly snapped back into her human form.
Yu Zhizhi sat there in a daze. She looked at the Duke’s grim expression on the screen and fearfully pulled the blanket up to her chest.
"Please... please don’t hurt the baby..."
Hearing this, the Duke flew into a rage. He shot upright. "Is that what you think of me?"
Yu Zhizhi’s eyes turned red.
The Duke’s face was taut, his breathing growing heavier. His chest felt like it was on fire, a searing pain that seemed to burn down to his very bones.
