Demon King – Chapter 430 – A Wish Machine with Limited Capabilities

As the dazzling blue-violet radiance faded away, under Ziyu’s excited gaze, he discovered that… absolutely nothing had happened.

Good thing it was daytime. If this were at night, leaving aside whether Room 1503 would gain some new rumors, the dorm supervisor would have rushed over immediately.

Ziyu looked left and right, scanning around for a long while, but did not find any extra girl appearing beside him. Then he looked at Gulu. The big cat was still that same big cat, with no sign whatsoever of turning into a human.

“What the hell, so after all that, it was just a wave of special effects?”

After confirming that nothing had changed on himself either, Ziyu’s mood, which had been riding sky-high expectations, instantly crashed to rock bottom.

“I think it probably gave you a buff that attracts the opposite sex?”

The little Demon Lord was still wearing that lazy look. Knowing the limits of the little one’s abilities, this was the only thing she could roughly deduce that it had done.

Yuki, on the other hand, looked worried. After all, with the precedent of that small village, who knew whether this roommate of his, who was desperate to stop being single, might get screwed over badly.

“Relax, I’ve checked. There aren’t any weird problems.”

Noticing Yuki’s expression and guessing what he was thinking, Eiru quickly reassured him.

“I’ve got it covered, nothing big can happen.”

‘With you covering things, nothing big really will not happen. But what about small things?’

After getting her reply, Yuki felt less worried, but his expression became even more helpless.

Given this prank-loving girl’s mischievous personality, there was an eighty percent chance she had dug some kind of pit for Ziyu again. Nothing catastrophic would happen, sure, but Ziyu was definitely not going to have an easy time for a while.

“So that means picking up girls will be easy for me now?”

Ziyu did not realize the seriousness of the situation at all. In his mind, since he now had the ability to attract the opposite sex, getting out of being single was basically just a matter of time.

Yuki let out a deep sigh. Thinking back a bit on what Her Majesty the Demon Lord had said earlier, someone as sharp as him had already guessed exactly what kind of trap that girl had dug.

“Mhm, good luck.”

The little Demon Lord rolled over and hugged Gulu into her arms.

As Eiru moved, the little one, now without a place to stand, flew straight over and lay down on Yuki’s head instead. Watching Ziyu hop around happily like a monkey, it seemed to be in a great mood as well, chirping along with him.

Thinking was one thing, action was another. Upon learning that he had gained a powerful buff, Ziyu could not wait any longer and rushed out to seek his romantic fortune. In the dorm, one demon, two beasts, and one human watched his monkey-like departure with speechless expressions.

“Lu Brat, are you sure nothing will go wrong?”

“Don’t ask me, ask the little one. I didn’t do it.”

“What are you two talking about?”

Watching his two roommates speak in riddles, Jixian sensed that something was off, but he did not know the specific reason.

And compared to that, there was something else he cared about even more. Since this little one really did have such magical power, could he also ask it to give him some kind of buff?

Even a ridiculous reason like Ziyu’s could get a strong buff. All I want is to successfully pursue Xuenan or something. Asking for a romance-protecting fate buff or whatever is not too much, right?

“Aunt Mu wants to pursue his childhood sweetheart, and wants you to give him a related enhancement buff.”

Before Jixian could even open his mouth, the perceptive little Demon Lord had already translated his wish for him.

Seeing Jixian’s conflicted expression, Eiru immediately guessed what he was thinking. There really was nothing else that could make him look like that.

The little one tilted its head. After receiving the girl’s instruction, it began preparing, and some of the patterns in its fur slowly started to glow.

But unlike when it fulfilled Ziyu’s wish earlier, after suddenly freezing for a moment, the little one showed a conflicted and troubled expression, shaking its head at Eiru with a deeply aggrieved look.

“Oh right, you can’t directly influence people’s hearts now.”

Eiru was not surprised at all. After all, even inducing and guiding things still had a defined scope.

“Wha… what does that mean?”

Jixian was a bit confused. But from what Eiru had revealed, he thought of a terrifying possibility. Could it be that Xuenan does not like me at all?

“It doesn’t mean anything special. This is just something you have to do yourself.”

Sensing that Jixian had misunderstood something, Yuki patted his shoulder and explained.

“The little one’s abilities are limited. It can’t help with everything. Feelings and relationships are something you have to handle on your own. It can’t interfere with that.”

“And besides, compared to relying on external factors… shouldn’t your own relationship be something you pursue yourself?”

Yuki said earnestly, throwing a few meaningful glances at the girl on the bed hugging the big cat.

“You’re right.”

Jixian slapped his own face lightly and adjusted his mental state. Then he slapped Yuki hard on the back.

“Brother Yuki, you’ve really gotten smug after winning over the little princess. Your confidence is overflowing. I was the one who pushed you back then.”

Jixian laughed, recalling how he had once helped Yuki come up with plans.

Truly, the person involved was confused while the onlooker saw clearly. Back then he had spoken so confidently, yet when it came to himself, he became just as timid as Yuki had been.

Having figured this out, and in order not to repeat Yuki’s past mistakes, Jixian decided to launch a more proactive offensive toward Xuenan, aiming to confess his feelings sooner rather than later.

Once he made up his mind, Jixian could not suppress his excitement. He immediately rushed out of the dorm to put his plan into action. And just like that, Room 1503 was left with only that silver-haired couple once again.

“Wait, what? Why is it that every time we come back… the dorm ends up with just the two of us left?”

The little Demon Lord grabbed the long fur of the big cat in her arms, feeling a bit baffled.

Clearly today we did not really feed them dog food… bah, feed my ass. Who’s feeding dog food with him? We’re just trying things out!

“Oh? Isn’t having some time alone together nice, Lu Brat?”

With no one else around, Yuki started letting himself go, his tone carrying a bit of a suggestive flavor.

“This gentleman is asked to mind himself. Don’t spout dirty talk here. Be careful not to corrupt the little one on your head.”

“Corrupt it, then corrupt it. Let it see how loving its parents are.”

As he spoke, Yuki nimbly climbed up the ladder onto the bed and hugged the girl, starting to add some little demon elements.

“Damn it, you’re really doing it! Let me say this first. I’m the dad, you’re the mom. Got it?”

“Sure sure, whatever you say. As long as we’re a pair, it’s fine.”

“Peh, who’s a pair with you? I’m telling you I—wait! Don’t grab my tail! Let go! Don’t touch the ring! Hey!!!”

Flapping its wings and floating in midair, the little one watched its ‘parents’ interactions with a face full of curiosity. Their display of ‘affection’ delivered an enormous shock to its young heart, which was young in body but whose age spanned who knew how many centuries.
