Thousands of Love

The little rabbit was unwilling to go back to the Valoran capital with him, and even threatened him with his own life for the sake of another male.

The Duke has always been upset about what happened that day.

When they met again in Silan City, her attitude was ambiguous. Even though the Duke was angry, he couldn't do anything about her.

Doesn't she care about the wedding?

Why bless him again?

The Duke knew that the little rabbit was not so cunning and would not do anything to try to please him.

The night in the holy tower is especially quiet.

The fog swayed in the wind, slowly gathering and then slowly dispersing.

The Duke rested his chin on the head of the little female rabbit. He hugged her quietly, and his emotions were relieved at this moment.

Yu Zhizhi was still confused by the Duke's answer.

Don’t you like Miss Elaphe?

"...It's been too long." The Duke's tone was so light that it seemed like an illusion that she heard it.

"What?" Yu Zhizhi wanted to look back at him.

"It's been so long since I hugged you."

The Duke slowly reeled in the snake's tail and wrapped the little rabbit layer by layer.

This time, his movements were gentle.

As if not satisfied with her facing away from him, the Duke turned her body around and hugged her head on.

Just like before, holding her tightly and firmly.

He felt the blood pulsing in his body.

Yu Zhizhi buried her face in the Duke's chest. She heard the strong heartbeat of the man in front of her. Even now, her mind was still confused.

Your Excellency the Duke has no sweetheart?

Task……

Any chance of finishing it?

The Duke held her in the fog without loosening his grip. There seemed to be no gap between them, not even a wisp of air could squeeze in.

Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but tremble in such a strong and enveloping hug.

Kind of...

It feels like being swallowed whole by a python.

When pythons hunt, they also wrap their prey tightly.

"When will you be back?" The Duke's voice sounded in her ears.

Yu Zhizhi was stunned: "...I have a territory now."

"I know." The Duke's voice was filled with dissatisfaction. "There's no need to keep reminding me. Even if I have a territory, I can always go back to the Valoran capital."

The Duke never consulted anyone about what he wanted to do.

But now it’s different. If the little rabbit is pushed into a corner, she might hurt herself.

The Duke had no choice but to try another approach.

Let’s coax her back first.

"After Yunze advances, he will go on a long journey. Don't you want to meet him?"

The Duke moved out the cubs.

"Yumeng's test day is coming soon. If you were here, he would probably do better."

When Yu Zhizhi heard about the snake cubs' deeds, her heart softened.

Although she couldn't see the Duke's eyes from this angle, she always felt that he seemed to be staring at her.

Well……

Return to the imperial capital of Valoran?

What if the Duke goes crazy again and wants to lock her up?

Yu Zhizhi didn't respond for a long while.

After a long while, she slowly spoke: "My Lord Duke, you can also come to my territory as a guest, and bring little Amon and the others with you."

The Duke raised his eyelids slightly, his golden pupils calm and still: "You still don't want to come back."

"why?"

"Can't bear to leave them?"

Sensing the Duke's change in mood, Yu Zhizhi said anxiously, "I'm in the territory, no one cares about me."

It's very free.

The Duke frowned: "Do you have anyone to look after you in the capital?"

How could there not be? Yu Zhizhi pursed her lips slightly. Wasn’t it the Duke himself who was in charge of her?

She didn't say a word.

The Duke felt a little strange today, but while they were talking about this topic, Yu Zhizhi gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"Lord Bolan." she called softly.

The Duke hummed.

Yu Zhizhi whispered, "If I...if I send you an invitation, will you accept it?"

When she said this, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

For some reason, my cheeks started to feel hot.

Although it was a tentative question, it almost made her thoughts clear.

If the Duke agrees, can he maintain his favorability?

The Duke said calmly, "I won't attend a banquet in person."

Yu Zhizhi was stunned.

She originally wanted to explain that it was not an ordinary territory banquet, but an invitation to form a relationship.

But at this moment, she thought of the snake clan's prophecy.

Yu Zhizhi suddenly woke up.

Even asking this question will not help.

The Duke will not agree.

He hadn't formed a bond with Miss Elaphe this time. Would he encounter other female snakes in the future? Would the bond-forming ceremony be successful then?

Before that, it would be nice if all the tasks could be completed.

She can go home.

Yu Zhizhi's mood had been fluctuating wildly over the past few days. One moment she thought the mission was going to fail, and the next moment she saw hope again.

The Duke's thoughts are indeed the most difficult to guess...

Yu Zhizhi's rabbit ears were slightly bent. She didn't say anything else, but just stayed quietly in the Duke's arms.

It seemed as if the reunion was only for a moment and they would soon be separated again.

The Duke was still thinking about the Tianxing Territory.

Because of the special circumstances at the time, he allowed the application for the territory to pass the alliance review.

The little rabbit doesn't want to go home now.

He is in no hurry.

Sooner or later, the Tianxing Territory will belong to the Valoran Empire, and then it will be natural to bring her back to the imperial capital.

As for...

Those that have already formed a bond should all be divorced from the little rabbit.

She will stay in the Valoran Empire and by his side for the rest of her life.

At this moment, the voice of the personal servant came from outside the door.

"Lord Bolan, the distinguished guest from the deep sea has arrived."

The distinguished guest from the deep sea was the great sea shark. He had taken on the important task of Blazing Star, yet he had found time in his busy schedule to visit the Holy Tower. Apparently, he had heard that Miss Rabbit was staying the night.

The personal attendant waited quietly at the door for the Duke's instructions.

Deep sea, distinguished guest?

Yu Zhizhi almost immediately thought of the great shark, and her first reaction was to break free from the Duke's arms.

The Duke lowered his eyes, his golden pupils were deep and profound.

He stared at the little rabbit for a long time before slowly letting go of his hand.

The fog in the room dissipated.

The snake's tail also disappeared.

The Duke sat in front of the coffee table, his dark purple robe covering the cushion beneath him. He had his hands tucked into his sleeves and sat in a casual posture.

"Let him in."

Yu Zhizhi stood by the coffee table, unsure of where to stand. As she hesitated, she heard footsteps approaching from afar.

The attendant pushed open the door.

Shen He strode in from outside. He had just finished his work with the Blazing Star and came directly to the Holy Tower.

The moment he caught a glimpse of the little female rabbit, he said directly: "I'm here to pick you up."

The little rabbit wants to stay in the Santa Claus Tower?

How can that work.

Yu Zhizhi was stunned for a moment. She had already told Brie. Could it be that Brie didn't explain it clearly when he conveyed it?

"Lord Shenhe, little Amon is here, I..."

"Just now there was a call from the bottom of the sea." Shen He interrupted her, "The mermaid cub is sick and wants to see you."
