Why are you sleeping outside Rory’s door?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Rory’s suspicion had been right. This rabbit definitely wasn’t normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of ordinary rabbit would worry so much about its owner that it would sleep outside their door all night?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A normal animal simply wouldn’t have that kind of awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cotton Candy... are you worried about Rory?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix crouched down and picked up the rabbit, his expression full of concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll take you to see her. Rory is sitting on the balcony getting some sunlight. Once you’re beside her, you have to stay quiet, okay? Don’t disturb her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren lay quietly in Nix’s arms without moving, but he carefully memorized every word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Female Master needed quiet rest. He must not disturb her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix carried the rabbit over to the balcony and spoke gently to Rory, who was sitting there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory, I’m going downstairs to bring you breakfast. Let Cotton Candy stay with you for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory’s complexion was even paler than the day before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned weakly against one of the balcony pillars, as though she barely had the strength to sit upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she saw Cotton Candy in Nix’s arms, she gave a faint smile and patted the seat beside her, signaling for Nix to place the rabbit there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a beautiful morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sunlight fell softly across the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From where Rory sat, she could see the artificial lake stretching across the manor grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Small fish occasionally broke through the water’s surface before splashing back down again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flowers along the lakebank bloomed brightly, their petals still dotted with sparkling morning dew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory gently stroked the rabbit’s back, her tone filled with quiet regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cotton Candy... don’t you think the scenery here is beautiful? It’s a pity... I might never see such beautiful sights again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chi-chi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Female Master, that won’t happen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will definitely cure you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren had no interest in the scenery around them. In his eyes, there was only Rory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cool, clear voice called out from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen stood by the lakeside, dragging a large suitcase behind him. He waved enthusiastically toward the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, I’m back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Rory saw the man standing by the lake, a flash of surprise lit her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t forget that she was still acting. Maintaining her weak demeanor, she raised a hand and gave Wen a small wave from the balcony, signaling for him to come up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beastfolk had exceptionally sharp eyesight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen immediately noticed how pale Rory’s face was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on his lips froze. The next second, he dropped the suitcase in his hand and leapt straight up from the ground below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He landed on the balcony in a single bound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing before Rory, he took in her pale, fragile appearance—and his heart clenched painfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears burst from his eyes. One pink pearl after another fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... what happened to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he left, she had been perfectly fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory watched the pink pearls dropping steadily onto the floor and had to suppress the overwhelming urge to gather them all up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping her voice weak, she said softly to Wen, \"Wen... I’m sick. I might not be able to be your master for much longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Wen heard those words, his tears fell even harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he left, she had been healthy. How could she suddenly fall ill? And so seriously?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... that won’t happen. You will definitely get better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More pearls fell, bouncing lightly against the floor. Some rolled across the balcony and slipped through the gaps in the railing, dropping all the way to the ground below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory’s heart nearly ached at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, she would definitely ask Nix to go pick them up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each pearl was the size of a pigeon egg—losing even one made her feel painfully wasteful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wen only cried harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he cried, the more pearls dropped, rolling everywhere—many of them already tumbling down to the courtyard below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory was starting to feel restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were those actual pearls?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were Wen’s tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little fish looked beautiful even when he cried—perhaps even more so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wen... stop crying for now,\" Rory said weakly, quickly trying to calm him. \"I’m feeling a bit tired. Help me back to bed so I can rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good boy. Let’s go cry inside.That way, the pearls won’t keep falling downstairs.You can cry as much as you like there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen didn’t want to cry either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing Rory so weak made the tears flow uncontrollably. \"Master... I’ll help you back to bed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully supported Rory as she stood and led her back into the bedroom. Behind them, pink pearls scattered across the floor like tiny beads of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory glanced at the pearls rolling everywhere in the room, then at Wen—who was still crying without stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help worrying that if he kept crying like this, he might run out of tears entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wen... please don’t cry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... I—I can’t help it! Seeing you like this... I just... I can’t stop myself from crying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice trembled. More tears fell. The floor was already covered with pearls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cotton Candy, who had followed them in, was nearly buried under the pile of pearls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory could not let Wen keep crying like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Cotton Candy present, she couldn’t tell Wen the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she quietly opened her wrist device and sent a message to Xarion and the others, asking them to come upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix and Jasper had just finished preparing breakfast when Rory’s message arrived. They rushed upstairs immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Nix pushed open the door and saw the floor covered in pearls, he froze in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many pearls? Wen was really a crybaby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when Vincent had invited several elders of the merfolk clan to the estate, those old fellows combined hadn’t cried enough to produce this many pearls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of the King of the merfolk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Jasper and Xarion, who arrived just behind Nix, were taken aback when they saw the mountain of pearls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion stepped forward, lifted the rabbit out of the pearl pile with one hand, and grabbed Wen with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he spoke gently to Rory, \"Female Master, I’ll take these two outside first. Let Nix clean up the room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not leaving.\" Wen shook his head stubbornly. \"I want to stay with my master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chi-chi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not leaving either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren also wanted to stay beside Rory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Wen like this, Rory suspected that if he went outside, he would only continue crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Xarion. \"Xarion, take Cotton Candy out first. I want to speak with Wen alone for a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion glanced at Wen, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he carried Cotton Candy out of the room, Rory immediately dropped the weak act she had been maintaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice regained its strength. \"Wen, stop crying. I’m not sick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen blinked in shock. He stared at Rory, so stunned that even his tears stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... you...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory quickly explained, \"I was pretending just now—to trick Cotton Candy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Wen had returned, it was time for him to know the truth. Rory briefly explained everything about Cotton Candy and the suspicions surrounding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen understood very quickly. \"That rabbit... is actually a beastfolk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of rabbit clan could possibly produce anRank 11beastfolk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never heard of such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Wen said thoughtfully, \"Master, could it be that he isn’t really a Rank 11 beastfolk... but used some special method to disguise himself like this? That would explain why no one can detect anything unusual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the empire was vast. It wouldn’t be strange if there were secret techniques unknown to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory still couldn’t say for certain. \"No matter how he became a rabbit, our goal remains the same. We need to make him reveal his true identity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Nix had begun directing the household robots to gather all the pearls scattered across the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, they collected them and placed them into an empty ring storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everything had been gathered, Nix handed the ring to Rory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory, all the pearls in the room are stored inside this ring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1388,"2026-06-05T18:17:47.496Z",1,"novelbin.me","5ae7515c48ed87a8e4ad0d6106eac6ff544d2be26d4236d7da8513db0a0163a3","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-199","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-197",315,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finterstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-cover.jpg"]
