Chapter 326 "Like him? How much?"
Yu Zhizhi followed the entourage, thinking that during the day, the Duke didn't seem to take her matter to heart.
She thought she would be spending the next few days with the orcs from the rabbit tribe.
Returned to the Snake Clan's residence in the palace.
Yu Zhizhi lived here when she first arrived. At this moment, the orcs from the Snake Clan are still in the banquet hall, and the entire courtyard is very quiet.
Entering the living room, there was only a dim light on.
The Duke's personal attendant Billy stood outside the door with a smile on his face: "Miss Zhizhi, Mr. Yu Ling, please come in."
In the dark living room, a figure sat.
The Duke's eyes fell on the little female who entered the room first. She seemed to have drunk wine, with a trace of blush on her cheeks.
Following closely behind was the cat from the land of prophecy.
The cat tribe young man wears a cat mask on his face, and you can vaguely see the raised corners of his mouth.
"Your Majesty the Duke." He bowed slightly.
Outside the door, Billy couldn't help but take another look at the young man.
The land of prophecy is very far away from the Valoran Empire.
They traveled across the ocean to come to the imperial city of Valoran.
This young man named Yu Ling is the most promising young master in the Land of Prophecy. Regardless of whether he awakens the power of prophecy now or not, he will be the only prophet on this continent in the future.
This was determined from the moment he was born.
"It's been a long and dusty journey, thank you for your hard work." The Duke sat on the chair, folding his hands in his sleeves, and stared at the young cat tribe man with his golden vertical eyes.
"It's not hard." Ling smiled.
Duke: "Have you brought anything?"
The young man from the cat tribe took out a silver coin from his arms.
He stepped forward and placed the silver coins on the table.
Yu Zhizhi looked over——
Compared with the silver coin that Ling gave her before, this silver coin looked much older, as if it was currency from a long time ago.
……Um?
Wait, Lord Duke and Zero, do they know each other?
Yu Zhizhi later discovered that they seemed to know each other.
The young man from the cat tribe took two steps back. He and Yu Zhizhi stood together: "This is the silver coin that Mrs. Sophia used for prophecy back then. If you want to recreate the scene she saw, in addition to the power of prophecy, you also need to find her at that time." A ruby ring that I always carry.”
The Duke glanced at the silver coins on the table, which were somewhat similar to what he remembered.
"In the future, I will need to rely on your strength."
Zero nodded slightly: "It's an honor."
Yu Zhizhi's originally tense emotions slowly relaxed. She originally thought that today the Duke would...
But this is best.
She couldn't help but have a smile on her face.
The young man from the cat tribe turned his head to look at her. Yu Zhizhi seemed to notice his gaze, raised her head and smiled at him.
A cold gaze came from directly in front, and Yu Zhizhi felt the cold wind whistling on her neck.
She looked over blankly and saw the Duke looking down at the divination silver coin in his hand in the dim light, as if the feeling just now was just an illusion.
A small black snake slowly emerged from behind the Duke and came to his shoulder.
"It's too late, I won't bother you anymore." The young man from the cat tribe said with a smile.
"Billy, see you off."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke."
The attendant at the door stood up and made a "please" gesture.
Yu Zhizhi also turned around: "Then I'll go back too~"
"Little Amon hasn't seen you these days and has been crying for a long time. I brought it here and it's in the inner room. You go and see it."
Yu Zhizhi suddenly stopped. "It's here? That's just right. The healing process can be continued."
When the young man from the cat tribe came to the door, he looked back.
The rabbit female slowly walked towards the Duke. The content of their conversation was like a couple who had been together for a long time, talking about their children as if no one was around.
The smile on his lips slowly faded.
Zero withdrew his gaze, followed the Duke's personal entourage, and slowly left the Snake Clan's residence.
While walking on the road, he thought of the rumors from the outside world——
The snake clan of the Valoran Empire will not marry other clans.
Although there is a female rabbit tribe living in the Duke's residence, the Duke's attitude towards her is lukewarm.
Saw it with my own eyes today...
Why does it seem different from the rumors?
As soon as he entered the room, he felt a familiar aura from the Duke's body. Although it only appeared for a moment, it was covered up by the spring night wind.
At least at that moment, Zero felt that the Duke had murderous intentions.
If he hadn't brought the divination silver coin used by Lady Sophia, he might have died in a foreign land.
And is all this because of Miss Rabbit Clan?
If so, why don't you care? This is clearly...
The young cat tribe man stopped slowly. He stood outside the snake tribe's residence and looked at the white moon frost on the ground without moving for a long time.
Yu Zhizhi went to the back room of the banquet hall.
Little Amon is indeed here.
However, it fell asleep, its soft white body huddled in the warm nest of the bamboo basket, and it was snoring gently.
Yu Zhizhi's movements were very light, and she did not disturb little Amon. She slowly used the evolution technique to heal its golden animal bones.
The Duke came to the door at some point. He looked at the little female sitting at the table, concentrating on healing the little white snake.
As he had guessed before, Yu Meng's physical improvement was indeed related to his evolutionary ability.
He never asked, just wanting to see when this little rabbit would take the initiative to tell him.
Result——
Until today's test, she took the initiative to step onto the crystal test platform for the sake of other orc males.
The Duke had been in a gloomy mood all day. While everyone was cheering, outside the crowd, he watched the little rabbit staying with the cat tribe youth from a distance, with a smile on his face and his eyes turned into little crescents.
——So happy?
——Do you like it that much?
"Tell me, when did you meet?"
The Duke asked quietly.
The tip of his tongue licked the snake's fangs, and his golden vertical eyes stared closely at the back of the little female's neck.
Yu Zhizhi didn’t know how to answer...
She could only skip the temple and said a vague time: "Just, we met before."
The more he talks, the more he feels guilty.
But what to do? When I joined the temple, I signed an agreement and I couldn't reveal anything about the temple's illusion to the outside world.
"Did you go to the Hughes family to look for the cat because of him?"
The Duke continued his questioning.
At first glance, the little female is hiding a lot of things.
How did she get to know the cat in the prophesied land? In the realm of the rising moon? After he came back, because he missed him too much, he wanted to find a young man from the cat tribe who was similar to him so that he could live in his house and be with him day and night?
Oh.
"I really can't tell that you have such deep affection for him."
The more the Duke thought about it, the angrier he became, and his back molars were almost broken.
When the female sand cat called her by name, the little female was probably very panicked. How worried she was, afraid that the wild cat would be snatched away.
In front of everyone, even if you risk not advancing and being laughed at by the crowd, you still have to challenge the SS-level female.
"Do you like him? How much do you like him? Just being a butler is not enough. Do you want to accept him as a pet, or simply become a beastman? Haven't you decided who you want to be the first beastman yet? I think this cat It’s very suitable. Just go to His Majesty the King tomorrow and ask him to grant the marriage.”
