Became a Demon with Pregnancy System-Chapter 85: The Seven Bow Their Heads

Ethan White—Luke recognized him immediately.

The same arrogant fool he had punched into a wall not long ago.

Apparently, Ethan hadn’t learned his lesson.

Bella’s expression darkened. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Cousin, you don’t need to interfere in my business," she said, her voice colder than usual.

Luke raised an eyebrow.

Interesting.

Even her own cousin wasn’t enough to sway her from following him.

Ethan, however, looked completely stunned.

His lovely, obedient cousin—the one who had always listened to him—was defying him for... Luke?!

"Bella, what the hell?!" he stammered.

"You... you’re seriously taking his side over your own family?!"

Bella sighed tiredly.

"Ethan, I said—stay out of it."

Luke chuckled inwardly.

The girl was falling faster than he expected.

Ethan’s face twisted with fury, and he snapped his head toward a middle-aged man standing nearby.

"Uncle Lucas!" he shouted.

"Give me permission! Let me deal with him!"

The middle-aged man, Lucas White—a third-tier high-level mage—frowned deeply.

"Ethan," he said in a low voice, "this is Celestial Academy. If I act, the price will be very high."

Ethan gritted his teeth.

"I don’t care! I’ll bear the consequences!"

The moment Ethan declared war, a group of figures suddenly approached.

Luke’s eyes flickered.

Seven people.

All of them carried an aura different from the normal students.

They weren’t freshmen.

They were main campus elites.

Luke recognized them instantly—

Drake Vadis, Daniel Craig, Logan Quinn... and the rest of the main campus seven.

Ethan’s face lit up with excitement.

"Perfect timing!"

He turned toward them.

"Guys! Help me—"

But before he could finish his sentence—

Something unexpected happened.

Drake Vadis and the other six—

All bowed their heads toward Luke.

"Luke."

Drake’s voice was calm, respectful.

"The... events of the past few days have opened our eyes."

"We admit that we were... wrong."

"And we wish to settle our grievances here."

The other six followed suit, speaking one by one.

Ethan’s smile vanished.

"What the hell?!"

His voice cracked.

"W-why are you... bowing to him?!"

Luke simply grinned, enjoying the sight of Ethan’s world crumbling apart.

He turned his gaze to Lucas White.

"Still interested in attacking me?"

The middle-aged man hesitated, then shook his head.

"I withdraw."

Ethan staggered back, his mind breaking.

"How... how could this happen...?"

Luke simply patted Bella’s head, then turned away.

"Let’s go," he said, smirking.

Bella followed eagerly, her eyes shining with admiration.

Meanwhile, behind them—

A loud slap echoed as Lucas White backhanded Ethan across the face.

"Idiot."

"Luke... I’m sorry. My cousin is like that. Please don’t take it to heart," Bella White said softly.

The two had already walked out of the campus, entering a more upscale residential community.

She had been holding back her words the entire way but couldn’t resist apologizing anymore.

Luke glanced at her with an amused expression.

"Bella, you are you. He is him."

"I can tell the difference."

His words, said with such ease, made Bella pause for a moment, her heartbeat subtly quickening.

She smiled shyly.

"Uh-huh, thanks for understanding," she murmured, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

Her good impression of Luke deepened even further.

The elevator slowly ascended, and within a short time, they reached their destination.

Luke stepped out first, but instead of taking out a key, he simply knocked on the door.

Knock. Knock.

Bella blinked, confused.

"Luke, isn’t this... your place?" she asked.

Luke shook his head, knocking again, this time a little harder.

"Nope," he replied casually.

"Then... where is this?"

Bella’s curiosity grew.

Luke turned his head slightly, grinning mischievously.

"Didn’t I tell you?" he teased.

"This is where we’re going to see the mermaid."

Bella stared at him in shock.

"...What?"

"Who keeps a mermaid inside their house?" Luke said playfully, knocking even louder.

Bella took a few steps back, her heartbeat accelerating.

Was he serious?!

At first, she had thought Luke was just joking.

But his casual demeanor and confident knocking made her doubt herself.

’A mermaid... in the human world?’

’No... that’s impossible.’

Her mind raced, and suddenly, images from horror movies flashed before her eyes.

’What if... it’s not a mermaid but something else?’

’What if... this is a trap?!’

A cold chill ran down her spine.

Her breathing grew shallow, and her fingers trembled slightly.

For a brief moment, she looked at Luke’s side profile—and suddenly, a terrifying illusion formed in her mind.

She was back at Qingdou Pavilion.

She saw the giant Skywing Wolf, staring down at her like a predator ready to devour its prey.

Her breath hitched.

"Lu—Luke..." she stammered.

"Maybe... maybe we shouldn’t do this."

She wiped the cold sweat forming on her forehead.

"I—I think it’s better if we just leave."

She smiled awkwardly, trying to step back further.

But just then—

BANG!

Luke smashed the door open with a single slap.

Bella froze.

Her entire mind went blank.

’DID HE JUST—?!’

’DID HE JUST BREAK A DOOR WITH HIS BARE HANDS?!’

She didn’t even have time to fully process it when suddenly—

Two high-pitched screams echoed from inside the apartment.

One male, one female.

Luke calmly grabbed Bella’s hand and walked into the room.

The moment she saw the scene before her, her face exploded in redness.

A man and a woman—completely naked—were tangled together on the bed.

Bella screamed in horror, quickly covering her burning red face with both hands.

Her ears felt like they were on fire.

’W-WHAT IS THIS?!’

The man snapped his head toward them, his face turning a deep shade of red—not from embarrassment but from anger.

"Who the hell are you?!" he shouted, reaching for a bedsheet to cover himself.

"Who let you in?!"

The woman, now hiding under the blanket, peeked out nervously, her eyes wide with panic.

"Get out! G-get out!!"

Her plump arms trembled as she clung to the sheets.

But Luke?

He remained completely unbothered.

"Ah... my bad," he said casually, rubbing his chin.

"Didn’t expect to interrupt a special moment."

Bella whipped her head toward him, still covering her face.

"LUKE, WHAT THE HELL?!" she hissed, her voice shaking with embarrassment.

"You—You brought me here to see THIS?!"
