Chapter 36 "Who do you like?"
Duke Bolan had never brought an orc female back to his territory before.
She was very curious, was this little rabbit a pet to Master Bolan, or was it something else?
——But.
Lord Bolan will never agree to her request.
The snake girl held a whip and slowly circled around the fragrant little rabbit with her hands behind her back.
Yu Zhizhi thought seriously.
She nodded: "Okay, I'll go and ask the Duke. But... can you spare his life first and stop beating him?"
"Miss Zhizhi has already opened her mouth, I still want to give you this face."
The snake girl raised her chin slightly: "Take him to the warehouse and lock him up. No one is allowed to give him food without my order."
"Yes." The two guards stepped forward and dragged the kneeling wild dog away.
Seeing that the "wild dog" had temporarily saved his life, Yu Zhizhi felt relieved.
Facing the snake girl's brown vertical eyes, she smiled.
Yu Zhizhi stayed outside for most of the day. She saw the location of the warehouse, not far from the pavilion.
It takes about 30 minutes to walk from the study room to the pavilion.
Not too close, not too far.
It was getting dark when we went back.
The lights were on in the yard, and she saw the blue lotus in the pond, emitting a faint light, beautiful and hazy.
All the servants in the courtyard have left.
Yu Zhizhi approached the study room softly. She opened the door carefully, and after getting in, she found a lantern with fireflies gathering on the chopping board in front of her.
The Duke went nowhere.
She slowly leaned against the low table, sat down, looked at the official document scroll on it, and thought about how to ask the Duke for "wild dogs".
It wasn't until the afterglow disappeared and everything was silent that the sound of footsteps appeared behind him.
The door opens.
Yu Zhizhi turned around and saw the slender figure, stood up and trotted over.
The Duke saw the figure of the little rabbit. Her eyes were bright, her rabbit ears were raised, her fingers were holding the hem of her white skirt, and she was slightly greeting her. She was fresh, elegant, childish and cute.
He was in a good mood and nodded slightly: "Tired from playing?"
Today he met with guests, and the little pet ran out to play for the day.
Didn't even come back for dinner.
Seeing her now, her long hair was slightly messy, and the Duke passed by her.
"Follow me."
Yu Zhizhi followed slowly, bypassing the curtain, and there was a path from the back door. Stepping on the round pebbles, slowly, a hot mist hit her face.
Ahead, the sound of water was gentle.
As far as the eye can see, there is a circular bathing pool, surrounded by bamboo shadows and hung with red lanterns.
The pool is steaming and filled with blue petals.
"Your Majesty, do you want to take a bath?" she asked.
The Duke turned around, bent slightly, stroked her head with one hand, and looked into her eyes: "You have been playing outside all day, and you have a lot of dust on your body. You need to clean it well."
The little female opened her eyes slightly.
The Duke straightened up: "Sit in."
"I...I can just wash it myself..." Yu Zhizhi whispered.
"oh?"
The man's extremely oppressive response made her immediately alert, and she dipped into the steaming pool.
Uh--
The hot water covered her collarbone, and she leaned against the edge of the pool, feeling unprecedented physical and mental comfort.
It's just that she's not used to being around people, so she doesn't dare to take off her skirt at all.
...It would be nice if he could be in animal form.
If I were really a chubby "rabbit" now, I wouldn't be so embarrassed, right?
When can I awaken my spiritual power...
Yu Zhizhi murmured in her heart.
Suddenly, she felt the hair behind her being gently touched by a hand.
It seemed like it was covered in sticky, rich foam, and the person behind him was gently rubbing it.
The Duke was washing her hair carefully.
From the top of the head to the hair, every detail is taken extremely seriously.
In his eyes, Yu Zhizhi is just a little pet. Giving her a bath is a perfectly normal thing.
By the way, I also rubbed the rabbit ears gently. Foam around.
The Duke sat down.
He was at the edge of the pool, his palms filled with soapy liquid. After pressing and rubbing, he put his hands on the little female's shoulders and swirled them slowly.
The little female's skin is very smooth and delicate, set off by the foam, like a freshly baked cake, covered with sweet cream.
The Duke's hand slowly moved downwards...
Yu Zhizhi's whole body was soaked in hot water, and her cheeks were as hot as a high fever.
She closed her eyes, clasped her hands, and suppressed the trembling all over.
The Duke thought of the pets he had raised before, struggling and screaming when thrown into the water. None of them could compare to the little female rabbit in front of him.
He felt more and more that this little pet was the right thing to raise.
After cleaning her, she covered her with a large towel and carried her back to the study.
The little female curled up in his arms, burying her head, her long wet hair still dripping with water, and her rabbit ears hanging down, as if she had just been soaked in the rain, which was pitiful.
After returning to the study room, he sat on the cushion, hugged her, and wiped the water stains from her hair.
The special material of the towel quickly dried the girl's hair.
Yu Zhizhi closed her eyes tightly and felt the towel wipe from the rabbit's ears to her cheek, then raised her head and wiped her neck.
The Duke's movements slowed.
The little female has a delicate body, and a few touches of this soft towel actually caused red marks on her white neck.
He smiled and his movements became lighter.
"Are you hungry?" he asked.
Yu Zhizhi didn't eat at night, so she nodded lightly.
When she slowly opened her eyes, a layer of water mist appeared under her eyes, and her pink cheeks and cherry lips looked particularly delicate and cute.
She had hardly been out of bed since her return from the Duke.
Always being held by him.
Now she was sitting in his arms, her body slightly curled up, her hands holding his dark purple collar, smelling the special fragrance of his body.
Servants soon brought a late-night snack.
It's a bowl of sesame glutinous rice balls.
The Duke hugged her, picked up the bowl, scooped up a glutinous rice ball with a spoon, cooled it patiently, and brought it to the little rabbit's lips.
Yu Zhizhi opened her mouth and saw that the glutinous rice balls were a bit big. She bit them lightly and a spoonful of sesame seeds dripped from them.
After eating half, put the rest into your mouth.
The glutinous rice balls here are delicious——
It feels like celebrating the New Year in the real world.
She ate, her eyes slightly moist.
"What's wrong?" The Duke noticed that the corners of the little pet's eyes were slightly red, and he grinned: "Is it because he feels that the Duke is treating you too well, so he is moved?"
He really has never been so patient with any pet.
Maybe when they were first raised, they would take care of their diet. Even if it is thrown into the bath, it will be cleaned by the servants.
But she is different.
The Duke believed that he was the only one who could help her bathe.
After washing and wiping it clean, it smells soft and sweet no matter how you hold it in your arms. Feeding her food is also a matter of convenience.
After all, he was so satisfied with this pet.
If you live like this for the rest of your life...
It feels good.
"...I miss home." Yu Zhizhi sniffed.
She swallowed the second glutinous rice dumpling handed to her by the Duke, one whole, and her cheeks puffed out.
One small bowl and she was full.
After eating.
Yu Zhizhi plucked up the courage and looked up at the man in front of her.
The Duke's dark blue hair was slightly curly, and his golden vertical pupils exuded a dangerous aura of poisonous snakes. When he was not smiling, a dark cloud seemed to gather between his eyebrows, hiding faint thunder and lightning.
When he laughs, he is very lazy and casual, not very happy, and even makes people feel creepy.
"I...I want a servant." She said softly.
"All the servants in the courtyard are yours."
"I, I've fallen in love with someone-"
"Who do you like?" The Duke raised his eyebrows and said in a faint tone, "Male or female?"
