Chapter 18: Fine, Don’t Kiss Then

Inside the room.

The atmosphere felt awkward.

Just yesterday, she had tossed and turned in heat, rumpling the bedsheets, always subconsciously hoping to meet the Prince again and do more than just kiss.

But now that the moment had come, Ye Lu couldn’t focus for a long time.

All because of that unabashed conversation between Weilan and the Prince just now.

Every single word was clearly about her.

Fortunately, Ye Lu had been at the school for two years, her theoretical grades always ranking at the top—she wasn’t stupid.

The Prince’s meaning was so straightforward.

How could she not understand?

“Test the waters first, and if I’m not careful…”

“Just kissing can’t get you pregnant.”

Saying such disgusting things, completely treating her like air.

Ye Lu felt displeased.

And, if she hadn’t guessed wrong,

The Prince… this person.

‘Could he have accidentally bound her as a mating target?’

‘From the way he spoke, it seemed like the kind that couldn’t be forcefully canceled.’

…

“Let’s start. Are you ready?”

The Prince seemed to deliberately lower his voice, deep and vigorous.

His strong arm wrapped around her shoulder.

Ye Lu gently shook her head in refusal, but to her surprise, the Prince had already closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and quietly moved closer to her slightly parted lips.

She flusteredly raised her hand, trembling fingertips pressing against the Prince’s hard chest.

She pushed with all her strength, but it was like cotton pressed under a stone.

Her frail arms, completely lacking muscle, couldn’t budge him an inch.

Instead, a sound accidentally escaped her, as if she was flirting.

‘A girl’s body is so weak.’

‘But thinking about it, it makes sense.’

Ye Lu’s height was definitely not short, about 1.65 meters.

The Prince, however, was a full 1.9 meters, an overwhelming size difference.

‘Even if he changed back to a male body, it would probably be tough.’

Ye Lu’s eyelashes trembled as she watched her own lips about to be sealed, her pupils contracting.

‘If they touched,’

‘…she would probably be invaded inside too, right?’

She swallowed hard.

Although her face was red and her heart was extremely excited, especially feeling his warmth.

But this couldn’t go on.

Ye Lu pulled her arm away, lifted it suddenly, and covered her own mouth with her small hand, urgently shouting, “No, no!”

The Prince stopped.

After a moment, still maintaining that pose, he said nothing.

Ye Lu realized something was wrong, her heart nearly sank, and she immediately lowered her hand, her tone becoming incoherent: “No…”

“P-Prince, today, I suddenly feel a bit unwell.”

“So…”

The excuse was flimsy, but Ye Lu had no choice.

In truth, for her body, kissing a man was her .

Very comfortable… and relaxing.

It would fill something in her empty, weak body.

But she had to suppress this desire; she understood that this wasn’t the time to be reckless.

Because…

If her speculation was correct, for a powerful Celestial Demon like the Prince, killing a Succubus was no different from crushing an ant.

What he cared about was also this matter closely related to reproduction.

Yet he never mentioned anything about lower body matters; both times he only mentioned kissing.

With his status,

He could do it whenever, wherever.

And there would be no burden.

But he only kissed…

Then in this situation, there was only one possible explanation.

That is.

The Prince’s kiss.

Is something that can replace sex and make people pregnant!

…

…Pregnancy, huh.

This word was very sensitive to her.

That was a woman’s matter.

It was about quietly nurturing another life inside the body.

It was a possible, unavoidable result after the most intimate act between a man and a woman.

She would be like all women, her abdomen swelling day by day, growing round and full.

Then, at some moment, a new, tiny life would separate from her body.

A… baby born for some man.

…

‘Absolutely not!’

‘She absolutely did not want to have children!’

‘In that case, it wouldn’t just be about becoming someone like her mother—wasn’t she already becoming a mother?’

‘This was absolutely not what she wanted.’

Ye Lu only thought about graduating and living alone, a life without disturbance or restriction.

Even more, she didn’t want to bear that meaningless racial responsibility.

“You don’t want it?”

“Mm, I don’t want it.”

“Alright…”

“Then… what about tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow too… I don’t want it.”

Ye Lu’s answer was absolute.

After saying it softly, she didn’t dare lift her head to meet the Prince’s expression.

“…”

“…”

“As expected, you like me, right?”

“?”

“I don’t like you!”

Why would she say something like that?

Struck at her sore spot, Ye Lu panicked instantly, and this time she nearly shouted.

But she heard the Prince say calmly, not knowing if he was seeing through her.

“Your body is hot, your face is red, there’s a heart-shaped star in your eyes, and the tip of your tail has turned pink.”

“Ugh… where…”

“…”

“In the end…”

“Isn’t this still the emotion of liking me?”

“Girls really are as troublesome as the books say.”

“…”
