The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 24
“He’s back again.”
At the long-awaited voice, Neris lifted her head.
Cledwin, apparently returning from swordsmanship practice, wore a tough leather shirt and trousers. Through the dark teal fabric, a flash of pale skin revealed a red line—freshly wounded.
“Who hurt you?”
Neris asked without thinking. Cledwin raised one eyebrow.
“Why? Are you worried?”
“Why would I be? I just need to know if there’s someone in this school capable of hurting a senior like you.”
As far as Neris knew, at this point in time, no one at the academy possessed the skill to wound Cledwin Maindlant.
That is, among those she had ever heard of during her lifetime before becoming crown princess. Cledwin gave a smile so cold it couldn’t possibly be mistaken for genuine amusement.
“It wasn’t someone from the school.”
Ah. Neris understood. When she fell silent, Cledwin tilted his head slightly. Leaning against the pillar, his face appeared like a statue carved and affixed there—so exquisitely refined.
“Does that satisfy your curiosity?”
“Why? Do you want to satisfy my curiosity?”
Not a single word slipped by easily.
Though the impertinent reply came from a much younger child of inferior status and wealth—someone who should have earned his ire—Cledwin merely laughed. After a brief pause, he looked directly into Neris’s eyes and answered.
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
The male lead being so proud of his wife is honestly adorable, even when he gets jealous.
And the female lead is so elegant and beautiful—I can’t wait to see this scene illustrated
Haha, did the ML really just say that to the FL? He’s so cute when he gets a little jealous.
Can’t wait for next chapter
The ML is so considerate of his wife. He treats her with so much care and gentleness, even when she doesn’t say a word—he just understands her. He’s honestly so perfect, I can’t 😭
I really hope the FL can overcome these painful feelings soon. I can’t bear to watch her suffer this much. 💔
