Demon King – Chapter 339 – The Manly Man Holds a Grudge

“You really do have wings and a tail…” Yue Yue gently stroked the wings sprouting from the little girl’s back with a face full of wonder and curiosity.

“Don’t press too hard, just touch it lightly…” Sitting on the bed with her hands propped up in front of her, the Demon Lord wore a slightly unwilling expression.

After all, wings and tails are rather sensitive; being touched can be uncomfortable. Of course Yuki is different, not everyone can pet her in that way and make her feel perfectly at ease.

“Hey Little Lu, why don’t you stay for dinner?” Qi Rong called, trying to coax the silver-haired girl to stay.

“No thanks, I should head back… if I’m late they’ll worry.” Eiru declined her homeroom teacher’s offer. If she returned late, a certain someone might fret and not eat properly, which would be a headache.

“Head back? Worried? By the way, where do you live?” Qi Rong frowned, sensing something was off.

Yue Yue had already explained that Eiru usually disguised herself as a boy and that she had been raised as one, which shaped some of her habits and mindset.

If she’s disguising herself as a boy… does she actually live in the boys’ dorm? That thought crossed Qi Rong’s mind and she felt compelled to ask directly.

“Ah? I live in an apartment in a neighborhood nearby… the walk is within half an hour, I think?” Eiru decisively chose to hide the truth. “Yue Yue, you’ve been to my place before, right? Remember?”

“Oh? Oh… I remember.” Yue Yue quickly played along. “Wasn’t it on your birthday?”

“Bingo~”

So she lives off-campus… Qi Rong relaxed slightly. If it were the dorm she would have a bigger problem on her hands. Considering Eiru’s nonhuman identity and issues around propriety, she definitely needed to intervene.

“Alright, stop touching… I’m off!” The Demon Lord shook Yue Yue’s hand off her wings and flapped down from the bed.

“Yue Yue, are you staying for dinner?”

“Yes, Sister Rong invited me.”

“I see. Old otaku… teacher, you can cook? You won’t order takeout, right?” Seeing Qi Rong’s suddenly wide eyes, Eiru hurriedly corrected her address. She wasn’t about to take another beating.

“Don’t underestimate your beloved teacher. Let me tell you, back in college…” Qi Rong rolled up her sleeves and struck a pose as if to recount her glorious university days.

“Alright, alright, stop it, Sister Rong…” Yue Yue pulled her away. “Lulu, if you’re in a hurry then head back first. Be careful on the way.”

“Okay~” After putting on her shoes and waving goodbye, the Demon Lord chose the unconventional route: she opened her wings and flew off from the balcony.

“Why do you call me Lulu? That’s weird…” Eiru’s mutterings as she left made Yue Yue smile a bit sheepishly.

“Yuki, you’ve been sulking here forever…”

“Well? Our little princess has a teacher taking care of her, and that person knows her secret… aren’t you overreacting?”

In the boys’ dorm, Jixian and Ziyu watched someone slumped over a desk. The listless, soulless look made them speechless.

You’d think his wife ran off with someone else… oh wait, maybe she did? But she always comes back, so it’s probably just a short detour.

“I’m really worried about her… is she awake? Did she eat? Is she okay? Could something happen on the way back… ahhhhh.” Yuki buried his head in his hands, his words a mix of helplessness and fury.

“Yuki, you’re losing it…” Jiaqi couldn’t help but tease. “Eiru is cute and makes you fret, but still…”

Mid-sentence, Jiaqi felt a few pats on his shoulder from behind. He turned to find Ziyu looking at him with an expression that said he’d seen through everything.

“You don’t get it. He’s a mother… As a mother, if his child is somewhere unfamiliar, of course he’d worry.”

“She’s my wife, not my daughter, thanks. This is how a boyfriend is supposed to worry, ok?” Yuki protested at Ziyu’s remark.

“Sure sure, I’m single so I don’t get it…” Ziyu waved it off, then glanced at the dorm balcony and froze, as if he’d seen something unbelievable.

Jiaqi and Jixian shared the same stunned expression. Only Yuki, still slumped over the desk, hadn’t noticed.

“She’s so immature sometimes. I’m really scared something could happen to her out there… She’s so spoiled and boyish, and ridiculously carefree…”

“Honestly, if she weren’t such a shut-in who hardly ever goes out, she’d probably get sold by someone while still helping them count the money,” Yuki muttered, doodling circles on the table as he fretted.

“You were talking bad about me behind my back?” A sweet yet childish voice sounded as a small body pressed up against Yuki’s back and wrapped an arm around his neck.

“Brat Lu? You’re back?” His tone lit up with joy the moment he recognized her.

“Stop changing the subject. I heard everything you said about me…”

“I’m full, I’m off.” Jiaqi opened the dorm door and made a hasty retreat—he was stuffed so full of dog food he couldn’t handle it anymore. And since he was still the loser, the scene was too embarrassing.

Ziyu wanted to follow Jiaqi but this was his dorm after all, so he stayed. He could only sit and nibble on the dog food being served.

Jixian didn’t react much and just played on his phone, though the smiles flickering across his face made the others wonder what he was looking at.

“Honey, you’re a macho man, you won’t hold grudges, right?” Yuki forced a smile, panicking—he’d been caught talking behind his wife’s back, what should he do? Waiting online, urgent!

“Nope, I’m a loli now~ I hold grudges, you know~” The Demon Lord pressed her face into Yuki’s neck and nuzzled affectionately.

But to Yuki, this affection felt a bit like a raccoon cleaning its food—he half expected to be bitten.

“Yuki, you should know girls can hold grudges for a long time~”

“But you’re… supposed to be a macho man?”

“Less talk! I’ll bite you to death right now!”

“Ow ow ow ow! Don’t bite my face! Don’t bite my face!”
