Yu Zhizhi's cheeks flushed, and she slowly nodded.
The Duke chuckled softly, "Good girl, Zhizhi."
This time, the kiss lasted longer.
The Duke gave the little rabbit no chance to catch its breath.
His kisses slid from her lips to the corners of her mouth, and then from the corners of her mouth to the small patch of thin, hairless skin at the base of her rabbit ears.
Yu Zhizhi's legs went weak, and her entire weight rested on his arm that was around her waist.
“…Your Grace.” Her voice trembled, as if it contained half-melted snow.
He gave a soft "hmm," his lips brushing against her earlobe, his breath hot, before returning to her lips.
This kiss was deeper than before, carrying the aftertaste of champagne and a serpentine, slow, lingering embrace that seemed to want to devour her whole.
Yu Zhizhi was so dizzy from the kisses that she felt disoriented.
She felt drunk even though she hadn't drunk any alcohol.
Even she seemed to have caught the scent of champagne.
When the Duke's lips left, Yu Zhizhi's eyelashes were still trembling.
He lowered his head, his forehead touching hers, his golden vertical pupils half-closed.
Their breaths mingled, his breath brushing against her slightly swollen lips, cool and carrying the lingering sweetness of champagne.
Yu Zhizhi clutched the fabric of his shirt, as if afraid that if she let go, he would disappear into the golden light just like when they arrived.
But he knew that the Duke would be leaving soon.
“Your Grace,” she asked softly, “how long will you be staying this time?”
“Two days.” The Duke tightened his arm around her waist.
Her dark blue hair fell down, enveloping her in a dim, cool atmosphere.
Her bunny ears were pressed against his chin, and she could feel the slight movement of his Adam's apple, and the heart beating in his chest.
"I thought...it would take a little longer." Yu Zhizhi's voice was tinged with melancholy.
The Duke did not speak, but waited quietly for her to slowly pull out the words she truly wanted to say from those roundabout, fearful, and hesitant attempts to get her to admit it.
Yu Zhizhi suddenly raised her head and stared at the Duke's face: "Can't the clone stay a little longer?"
A very tactful attempt to persuade them to stay.
So subtle was the fact that if he hadn't been watching the little female closely, he wouldn't have noticed that the tips of her rabbit ears had turned a faint, almost imperceptible pink after she finished speaking.
A ripple stirred in the Duke's heart.
“This isn’t an avatar,” he said softly. “My real avatar stayed in the Valoran Empire. The one who came to Earth this time is myself.”
Despite the risks, the Duke wanted to feel the rabbit's presence more realistically.
Yu Zhizhi was stunned.
The Duke lowered his eyes and looked at her face.
Small and white, with upright rabbit ears and a slightly open mouth, it looks like a silly rabbit that has been hit by a sudden surprise and doesn't know what to say first.
She hadn't expected that the Duke had actually teleported here in his true form...
When he was first summoned, he was still a clone!
She thought this time would be the same.
Yu Zhizhi knew beforehand that the Duke's true form could not leave the Valoran Empire, nor would he.
But once again, he took a huge risk for himself.
Yu Zhizhi's eyelashes trembled. Something welled up in her eyes, hot and stinging, swirled around in her eyes, and she forced it back by blinking hard.
She suddenly leaned in and gently kissed the Duke's chin.
A flicker of surprise crossed the Duke's golden, vertical pupils.
He lowered his head and kissed her bunny ears back, the movement was very gentle, and his breath was warm.
"Go to sleep. Once you're asleep, I'll carry you back to your room."
Yu Zhizhi nodded gently.
"Don't wake Sui Sui."
"Mmm." Yu Zhizhi closed her eyes.
She felt the Duke's hand still holding hers, their fingers intertwined, palms pressed together, like two trees with their roots intertwined.
She curled up in his arms, feeling the cool night breeze, and fell into a deep sleep.
the next day.
Yu Zhizhi woke up in bed.
aside.
Year after year, it floats in the bubble, its tail tip gently touching the transparent membrane, like a teacher tapping on a blackboard on a platform.
Its eyes were closed, and its eyelashes trembled slightly with the rhythm of its recitation, looking quite serious.
"...The thirty-seventh Deep Sea Lord implemented salt route reforms during his reign, bringing the salt fields on the west coast under royal control. This angered the salt merchant clans, triggering a seven-year salt war. The signing of the Treaty of Blue Abyss marked the end of the war..."
Its voice was delicate, and it pronounced each word very carefully.
However, some words were clearly not fully understood, and reading them sounded like reciting a string of incomprehensible incantations.
Its tender, sticky echoes reverberated within the bubbles.
Noel leaned against the incubator, the black rabbit's ears drooping as if it might fall asleep at any moment.
He lazily rested one finger on the glass wall of the incubator, tapping it lightly with his fingertip, as if listening to Sui Sui recite a poem, or as if he were dozing off.
The Duke stood on the other side of the incubator.
His dark blue hair fell to his shoulders, and his golden vertical pupils were half-closed as he gazed at the fine, deep red runes on the eggshell.
The lines in the text are so fine that if you don't look closely, you might mistake them for the texture of the eggshell itself.
But Platinum recognizes them.
The script of the Beast God's homeland is infused with spiritual power in every stroke; it is both a seal and a blessing.
"It seems that, due to the influence of Earth's magnetic field, this beast egg will hatch before tonight."
Noel's voice was languid, and he didn't even lift his eyelids.
Yu Zhizhi ran over excitedly.
"Tonight? So soon?"
If it really happens tonight, that would be wonderful!
The Duke is here too!
He can witness the birth of the baby crayfish with his own eyes!
Sui Sui poked its head out of the bubble. It hadn't finished reciting yet, but it had clearly sensed the change in the atmosphere.
Yu Zhizhi was filled with anticipation as the baby arowana hatched.
She originally thought that the baby arowana would come into this world secretly, but she never expected that the Duke and Noel would accompany him, as well as Sui Sui!
"The ceremony..." Yu Zhizhi was filled with excitement, "What's missing?"
“For a cub, as long as its mother is there, it lacks nothing.” Noel’s voice became unusually serious.
What the cubs care about most is their mother's blessing.
However, very few of the cubs actually receive their mother's blessing.
In the vast majority of cases, it was the elders of the father's clan who prayed for them.
Yu Zhizhi softly hummed in agreement.
She looked again at the eggs in the incubator.
Inside this red egg, there is a tiny life, its eyes still closed, unaware of what the world looks like, using its last moments to gather the strength to hatch.
And for some reason, her eyes suddenly became a little moist.
Yu Zhizhi stayed by the incubator the whole time.
Until, the incubator showed signs of spiritual energy fluctuations.
And accompanied by a crisp notification sound:
[Beep~ Beep~ Beep~]
The beast egg is about to hatch!
See you tomorrow~
