Chapter 69: Chapter 41: You’re Just a Fake Substitute (Part 2)

"My Lady, just focus on your pregnancy. You can leave the rabbit to me—I’ve got time to take care of it!" Leon’s eyes lit up when he saw the little, snow-white rabbit, and he couldn’t wait to reach out and pet it. "This is the first time I’ve ever seen a white rabbit. Hey, it’s the same color as me!"

"Alright, you can take care of it then." Before Sang Luo could even hand him the rabbit, Leon scooped up the Rabbit Beast like a precious treasure. He cradled it in his arms and ruffled its soft, snow-white fur. It felt incredible. "My Lady, would you like to give it a name?"

"It’s so white. Let’s just call it Little Bai."

’Fine, I’m terrible at naming things.’

Sang Luo never would have guessed that Leon was secretly a sucker for fluffy things. He carried that Rabbit Beast around every day, caring for it with the utmost attention.

Sang Luo had raised two rabbits back on Earth, so she knew they were easy pets that didn’t require much effort. There was a patch of woods on the manor grounds where the Rabbit Beast was usually left to roam free and nibble on grass, requiring almost no supervision.

One day, a few servants carried some freshly delivered food into the kitchen.

The Rabbit Beast’s ears twitched, and it propped itself up on its forelegs. A Beastman, after glancing around furtively, slipped into the kitchen.

It finished nibbling the grass in its mouth and followed him.

It saw the Beastman take out a small packet of colorless powder and pour it into the Water...

Just as the man was about to turn, it scurried away.

...

A month and a half had passed in her pregnancy, and her appetite had finally stabilized. Sang Luo had to eat five or six meals a day, which had been keeping the kitchen incredibly busy.

A Beastman brought her meal up.

Sang Luo poured a glass of Water and was just about to drink when a white shadow suddenly shot forward, knocking over the glass. Half of her dress was soaked through.

A vein throbbed on Sang Luo’s temple. She grabbed the rabbit by its ears and lifted it. "Looks like we’re adding spicy rabbit head to the menu tonight."

"My Lady, how can you bully Little Bai!" Leon suddenly appeared, snatched the Rabbit Beast away, and placed it on top of his head.

"You certainly dote on it. The little thing just rushed forward and knocked over my Water."

When Leon heard this, he got angry too and smacked its bottom. "You’re being too reckless! My Lady is pregnant! If she’d actually gotten bumped or hurt, it’d be spicy rabbit head for you and spicy leopard head for me!"

Little Bai frantically wriggled out of his grasp and leaped onto the table. Propping itself up on its forepaws, it pretended to take a bite of the food, then flopped backward, lying flat on the tabletop.

"..."

"..."

Leon seemed to understand the abstract pantomime. His expression instantly turned grim. He took out several collection vials from his space, poured the remaining half-glass of Water into one, and collected a few samples of the food. "...There might be something wrong with the food and Water. My Lady, wait here. I’ll take these to be tested!"

A moment later, he hurried back, his expression grim. "The food and the Water are both poisoned!"

Sang Luo’s eyes widened. "Someone poisoned me?"

"Yes. This poison is unique. It’s..." Leon glanced carefully at her face. "It can cause a pregnant woman to miscarry!"

"..."

"This drug doesn’t cause an immediate miscarriage. Instead, it slowly harms the fetus. After it’s ingested, the cause is untraceable, making people suspect the miscarriage was just an accident. If a large enough dose is taken, it could even kill both mother and child right before labor!"

Sang Luo shot to her feet. ’Who did this? How utterly vicious and sinister.’

"Rest assured, My Lady. I will get to the bottom of this and show no mercy!"

Then, both of them turned their gazes to Little Bai.

"Alright, speak. Who are you, really?" ’This level of intelligence couldn’t belong to a wild animal; it had to be a Beastman.’

There was no point in hiding anymore. The Rabbit Beast spoke timidly in a human voice, "Um, could you give me a piece of clothing?"

’A... a young female?’

Leon froze.

After her initial surprise, Sang Luo handed over one of her own dresses. The white rabbit ducked under the fabric and transformed into a young female with short, white hair.

She had red eyes, a round face, and very pale skin. Her features were delicate and cute, but she was a little too thin.

Females were precious in the Beast World, and the standard of beauty leaned toward a plump, sturdy build. Conditions in the tribes weren’t as good, so you might occasionally see a thinner female there, but Sang Luo had rarely seen one so frail on the Western Continent.

Leon’s face instantly turned beet red. ’For all these days, he had been holding her... naked. And sleeping with her...’

’And... and he’d spanked her bottom!’ 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"I-I’ll go investigate first!" He transformed into his beast form and streaked away.

"That leopard is really strange," Little Bai commented, glancing after him.

"Don’t mind him." Sang Luo asked, intrigued, "What’s your name?"

"Shelaine Tolles Butte."

"..." ’The names of Beastmen from the Western Continent are getting harder and harder to remember,’ Sang Luo sighed. "I think I’ll just keep calling you Little Bai. Do you mind?"
