Demon King – Chapter 281 – Qi Rong is Looking for the Loli

“Look～at～the～stars～” Sitting on the edge of the school rooftop, Her Majesty the Demon Lord dangled her legs in the air, staring up at the night sky while waiting for the break between evening classes.

She had to admit, although the East District of Huanghai City was not as developed as the West District, it did have one good point: the city’s neon lights didn’t blot out the stars.

Today the milk tea shop owner had some business and closed for the day, so Eiru had the night off. Seeing his best friend had nothing to do in the dorm, Yuki dragged her up to the school rooftop.

Bored out of her mind, Her Majesty the Demon Lord drew a circle and used magic to create a magic array, observing the situation in Yuki’s classroom. But that only bored her further.

The Honor Class lived up to its name. The studious atmosphere was overwhelming. Everyone was buried in problems and memorization, occasionally going up to the teacher with questions.

“Stupid Yuki even asked me to join their class… if I went, wouldn’t I just be a bad influence?” As a playful girl, she felt utterly out of place in such a focused environment.

She waved her hand to disperse the magic, and with that, the array dissolved into blue particles. Still bored, Eiru flapped her wings twice and leaned out over the edge to look below and see if anything interesting was happening around the school grounds.

The moment she leaned out, she spotted a familiar figure near the basketball court. She quickly enhanced her vision with magic.

Crap, it’s that shut‑in woman again? Her heart jumped. With enhanced vision, she immediately locked eyes with the familiar figure below.

Normally, because of the building structure, people on the ground couldn’t see the rooftop. And from this distance, there was no way to recognize any details. But because Eiru had leaned far out and spread her very conspicuous wings to balance herself, there was no mistaking it.

Sure enough, the woman froze for a moment, then dashed toward the school building.

“Curiosity kills the cat…” Eiru held her head, turned, and gently pushed herself back onto the rooftop floor.

“Time to scram! You shut‑in, you won’t catch me!” She snapped her fingers, her body fading from bottom to top until she vanished completely.

“Lu Baby!” The rooftop stairwell door slammed open. Qi Rong burst in, clutching several documents and panted as she leaned against the doorframe.

She looked around the empty rooftop, then stomped her foot in frustration. Eiru had escaped again. Still, at least it was proof, Lu Baby really was at this school. All she needed to do now was check the class rosters. After all, since she knew her name was Eiru, finding her wouldn’t be hard.

With that thought, Qi Rong’s irritation faded. The monk may escape, but the temple cannot, so Qi Rong decided to go to her class to capture her. Though, wait, hadn’t she thought the same thing about that student named Eiru before?

Her expression darkened. Since the term began, she hadn’t even seen that legendary truant once. Not only had she failed to lecture him, she hadn’t even seen his face.

Who knew someone could skip every single class like that! True, she’d heard the boy had shown up once or twice, but those times Qi Rong just happened to be away, missing every chance to catch her.

After hearing that Eiru was Yue Yue’s boyfriend, Qi Rong had even considered using Yue Yue to lure him out. She kept an eye on her student, watching for rendezvous opportunities to catch the truant.

It was great in theory, but reality was harsh. After half a month, she couldn’t believe someone could be such a scumbag boyfriend—never even showing up, leaving the poor girl abandoned and alone. Incredible.

Instead, Qi Rong ended up focusing on Yue Yue, giving her private tutoring and advice, acting like a caring big sister and eating meals with her. Their relationship had grown closer.

Just now Qi Rong had even printed out study materials for her before heading back to class, and she happened to spot that familiar figure on the rooftop.

Even though Eiru got away, Qi Rong hadn’t expected it to be easy anyway. With the documents in hand, she simply left, ready to return to and help her new little sister who was abandoned by that ‘trash guy’…

What she didn’t know was that Eiru, bored as always, had stayed transparent and floated invisibly above her head the entire time.

Trailing along behind Qi Rong, Her Majesty the Demon Lord wanted to see where this shut‑in was going. She was also curious about why this woman was even here at her school.

Floating behind Qi Rong, Eiru followed her… straight into her own classroom.

Wait, why here? What the hell? Had she already figured it out and was now lying in wait?

Panic set in as she saw Qi Rong walk into the classroom and head straight for her desk.

Crap! She really knows! Time to run! You cunning shut‑in! Terrified, Eiru spun around and bolted toward Yuki’s class.

——POV Change——

At his desk, a certain silver‑haired boy looked like he was focused on homework. His deskmate glanced over—only to see him playing Sudoku.

“You done with all your assignments? You’re just playing this?” Jixian twitched. Everyone else was doing homework, why was he the only one goofing off?

“Finished. What, you want to copy?” Yuki had paused at a tricky number, taking the chance to chat with his deskmate and roommate.

“How are you so fast? It’s homework for nine classes, are you trying to fly away?”

“Shh, keep it down…” Yuki made a gesture. “Half of it was written by Lu Brat. She’s got nothing better to do.”

“What the hell, you actually let your girlfriend do your homework? You scumbag!”

“Damn it, how is that scummy? She was the one who grabbed my homework and wrote it!”

“You’re not even denying she’s your girlfriend? Unfair! I want a loli to do my homework too!”

As the two bantered noisily in the back row, a ghostly figure crept up behind them…
