To You, So Noble and Vulgar (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 49
She leapt from the speeding carriage, curled her body, and rolled across the ground. When Ariana abruptly lifted her head, she saw the legs of a black horse.
The knight on horseback muttered in a slow, low voice.
“What’s this? Some child bursting out to welcome me?”
The assassins realized from the sound behind them that their mission had been ruined.
A girl with sky-blue hair and dressed in an elegant gown had leapt from the carriage as if fleeing—leaving no room for any excuse.
The assassins reacted swiftly.
They abandoned the carriage and attempted to escape.
The light-footed assassins tried to push off the ground and leap away—but they had overlooked one thing.
Sshh-!
It wasn’t only the assassins who acted quickly.
The man atop the black horse also assessed the situation rapidly and, the moment the assassins pushed off the ground, drew his sword and threw it.
The long blade sliced precisely and sharply through the air, embedding itself in the back of the assassin who had tried to flee first. In an instant, the sword pierced his skin and tore through his lungs.
The assassin dropped to the ground with a thud, unable to utter even a single scream.
The other assassins fled without glancing back at their fallen comrade.
Knights and soldiers stationed near the city gate blocked the assassins’ path. Some tried to scale the wall using ropes, but the knights were already rushing toward their escape routes.
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.
Here’s a mother who refutes the “instinctive motherhood” notion.
