Chapter 31: Raising.

—It’s the Duke in the coach!

Yu Zhizhi was instinctively nervous. She dodged backwards and found that her hands and feet were tied and it was difficult for her to move.

I felt the side of the bed pressing down on me.

The man sat down on the edge of the bed, holding a small silver teapot in his hand.

"Are you thirsty?" he asked in a low voice.

"Um……"

Yu Zhizhi was very thirsty. She had walked for a long time without drinking any water. Especially after a nap, her lips were dry and her throat felt like it was burned by fire.

The girl curled up on the white bed, her fluffy dress spread out messily, making her snow-white skin look even more delicate. With her eyes covered with a white ribbon, she could only see a blurry figure.

The Duke took a sip of his tea.

The small teapot in his hand was very delicate, with a silver luster and a small black snake carved on it, extending all the way to the tea spout, looking lifelike.

The man said lazily, "Open your mouth."

Yu Zhizhi was stunned.

"Aren't you thirsty?" He sat beside the bed with a faint smile on his face. "The little beast raised in the mansion must be hungry. It hasn't eaten meat for a long time, especially a lively little rabbit."

Yu Zhizhi's face turned pale.

Same voice, same tone, but the man became much more dangerous than when she was riding in the carriage.

Her throat was so dry that it hurt to swallow.

I feel like I'm going to die if I don't drink water.

Yu Zhizhi lay on her side, she turned her head and slowly opened her mouth.

A thin stream of water gently poured into her mouth.

There is the fragrance of tea.

The man held the small teapot and fed water to his new found pet.

Seeing that she was obedient, his tone became much gentler: "Guess what kind of tea this is. If you guess correctly, I can fulfill one of your wishes."

……ah?

Yu Zhizhi drank two sips of tea to relieve her thirst. She was stunned for a moment and tried to speak: "...Green tea?"

The Duke paused for a moment, "Even three-year-old beastmen know what green tea is. Be more specific."

"Hmm." Yu Zhizhi began to think.

She seemed to have seen types of tea in a book.

“Lepsang Souchong…?”

"wrong."

"Puro?"

"Wrong. You have one last chance."

"... Bamboo Leaf Tea?"

Yu Zhizhi thought, snakes like bamboo. Duke Bolan is a snake, so it makes sense that he likes bamboo leaf tea.

The little female guessed right.

The man smiled and took a sip of tea.

"You can make your request now."

What would this little female want? Would she want to be untied, or would she want to have a good meal, or would she want to ask herself why she was here?
Although Yu Zhizhi was very hungry, what she was most concerned about now was Dracula.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Is he okay now?

"I want to know..." Yu Zhizhi's cheek pressed against the soft bed. She whispered, "Eagle orc, how is he?"

"You're already tied up here, and you still have the mood to worry about other males?" The man's voice was tinged with danger. "Since this is your first offense, I will not bother with you."

"...I want to eat." Yu Zhizhi curled up her body and changed her request.

"Did you hear that?" Duke Platinum looked back.

Two figures bowed and saluted: "Yes."

They left in a hurry.

"Bring some water." the man ordered.

The two figures standing outside the door saluted: "As you command."

"Is this your territory?" Yu Zhizhi asked in a low voice.

"What do you think."

"Didn't you say you would send me back...?"

"I just said I would send you back, but I didn't tell you where to go. Living here is no worse than a wolf's den." "..."

The sound of footsteps came.

The maids placed freshly poured hot water next to the bed.

The man picked up the towel, wet it, wrung it dry, and then held the girl's slender ankle with one hand.

Yu Zhizhi shuddered and wanted to hide.

The other party easily pulled her over: "It's so dirty, wipe it off."

The warm towel was placed on her feet, gently wiping away the mud. A pair of dark feet gradually revealed their original appearance.

The female rabbits have small and delicate feet, which are pure white, like a piece of fine jade, smooth and delicate, with slightly curled toes, looking very cute.

I wet the towel again and wiped it along her ankles to her round calves.

Yu Zhizhi was trembling all over.

This touch reminded her of when her mother wiped her body in the same way when she was in the hospital.

The man's actions frightened her and reminded her of the past.

"Why did you tie me here?" she said softly.

"When I was a child, I had a pet. I bathed it every day and held it to sleep. Later, it bit me." Duke Bolan's hands were delicate and gentle, and his tone was also smiling. "So I sent it to the slaughterhouse."

"But I really like to keep pets. So I kept many of them, of all kinds. They were very docile at first, but gradually, they became less obedient. But it didn't matter, I was kind-hearted, so I sent them to the hospital..."

"What's the point of sending him to the hospital?" Yu Zhizhi was puzzled.

"Euthanasia." The Duke smiled.

"They are much happier than the first pet that was sent to the slaughterhouse."

Yu Zhizhi: “…”

Does this snake have some mental illness?
“I really like having pets.”

Duke Platinum sat beside the bed and wet the towel again.

"I want to have a white, small, docile and well-behaved pet. I want it to eat and travel with me, and it can also nestle beside my legs when I'm working."

"If it's cute and obedient enough, I can even let it sleep in the same bed with me."

Yu Zhizhi just felt depressed: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Huh? How can it be okay?" The man laughed softly twice, "You are my new little pet."

"I thought about it. Those unintelligent creatures are just animals after all. It's too difficult to expect them to always understand my thoughts."

"However, it might be more interesting to raise a little female rabbit."

The Duke held out his hand.

The black snake that bound Yu Zhizhi slid up along the man's fingers and soon reached his shoulder.

My hands are finally free.

The next second, her wrist was held by the person in front of her.

"My requirements are not high. I need to be docile and obedient. I need to wash myself clean every day and not run around dirty."

"--I reject."

Yu Zhizhi's voice was barely audible, like a stubborn little flower that was trembling but still trying to be strong.

"Heh..." The man laughed: "You have no right to refuse."

"I have just advanced to S-rank. According to the laws of the empire, you must protect me."

"Naive." Duke Bolan said lightly, "In everyone's opinion, you have been kidnapped by the Eagle Orcs."

"Even if you die here tonight, no one will know."

"How can the imperial law convict me of something that no one knows about?"

Duke Platinum didn't want to push the newly acquired pet too hard.

He dropped a candy bar.

"If you are willing to be my little pet, I can tell you anything you want to know if I am happy."

Yu Zhizhi's wrist was still held in the man's hand. She lay on the bed with her breathing slightly stagnant.

"Including news about the Eagle Orc?"

She asked softly.

When the little female mentioned this eagle male, even her tone changed.

Duke Platinum narrowed his eyes slightly.
