This Life, I Will Save The Duke (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 61
Between the narrow path appeared Kaius, seated atop a massive black horse. His mere presence was imposing, and when he smiled slightly, Ariel involuntarily swallowed hard.
“What’s going on…?”
What had started as an indulgence—humoring Ariel’s little antics—was no longer enjoyable at all. For a while, he had found her flustered attempts to push him away oddly endearing, even thinking perhaps she just needed time to recover from the incident at the library. But not anymore.
Now, facing the unmistakable wariness in her golden eyes, it became all the clearer. Ever since returning from the capital, Ariel’s attitude had changed. He needed to find out why.
Kaius, his eyes narrowed slightly as he watched her, extended his hand forward.
“Come here.”
Ariel stared blankly at the outstretched hand before exhaling a quiet sigh and obediently stepping toward him. His blocking the narrow path on horseback clearly meant he had no intention of stepping aside. She knew well enough that, in such cases, things always ended up going his way. As she drew near, he swiftly pulled her up and settled her onto the horse in front of him.
Turning his mount around right before the narrow greenhouse entrance, he started heading back.
“Where are we going?”
“To the lake.”
At his low reply, Ariel gave a slight nod and once again recalled the troubling thoughts that had been weighing on her mind lately.
Her next task was to rescue Aliune and then propagate it to produce a large quantity of antidote.
But for that, the dragon first needed to awaken and complete its initial growth phase. Even Kaius couldn’t possibly bear alone the dangers awaiting them in the Demon Realm. Next, she would either have to tell Kaius the truth or hope he’d follow her without asking why. He certainly wouldn’t go to the Demon Realm just for some plants—so in the end, she had only one choice.
Still… maybe she should ask him anyway. Encouraged slightly by the warmth radiating from behind her, she gathered her courage.
“…Kaius, have you ever been to the Demon Realm?”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
