Demon King – Chapter 476 – The Abnormal Demon Lord

While Yuki was still complaining in his head, one of the people he was thinking about received a phone call that completely caught him off guard.

“Hello, Lu Brat, what do you want? Shouldn’t you be calling your husband? Why are you calling me instead?”

Jiaqi was in the middle of playing a game when the call cost him a life, so his tone was understandably pretty annoyed.

“It’s Eiru, Jiaqi! I’ll say this one more time! He is my wife! I am the husband! You better get the identities and positions between me and him straight!”

As the person on the other end of the phone roared, Jiaqi reacted fast enough to move the phone away from his ear, barely saving it from being destroyed. On the other hand, the girl’s shouting instantly drew the attention of the other people in the dorm.

“My little ancestor, I’m in the dorm, I’m begging you, keep your voice down… can we talk properly. What do you suddenly want with me.”

Jiaqi sighed in his heart. Now that his childhood friend had turned into a girl, he really could not snap back at her the way he used to.

“Oh, right, business. I just sent you a photo. Take a look, do you recognize the person in it.”

“The hell, acting all mysterious…”

Muttering complaints, Jiaqi opened the photo Eiru had sent him, then froze on the spot.

The person in the photo was someone he could say he did not know, but also could not say he did not know. He did not know who this person was, but he was extremely familiar with that appearance.

“What’s going on here? After Little Ya, now there’s another one who looks exactly like you.”

Jiaqi really wanted to complain. Since when did silver haired girls become this common? And they all looked the same.

“Be normal. She just looks similar… she’s not exactly the same as me like Little Ya is, okay?”

The little Demon Lord on the other end corrected him. With her reminder, Jiaqi finally noticed the differences between the person in the photo and his own childhood friend.

For some unknown reason, Eiya’s appearance had been gradually moving closer and closer to her older sister as time passed. By now, aside from lacking the inhuman parts on her sister’s body and the little stars in her eyes, the two sisters could basically be called twins.

But the one in the photo was different. Aside from silver hair and blue eyes, only the face shape was similar. Looking closely, the other person had short hair, and her facial features were very clearly different from Eiru and Eiya.

“Where did you see her? Don’t tell me it’s some over the top thing like… your long lost sister.”

He joked with his mouth, but his expression was very serious, because silver hair and blue eyes carried extremely bad associations for him.

“At an orphanage. I passed by and saw some photos posted inside… then I saw this person on them, that’s all.”

While explaining where the photo came from, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was currently standing in front of a memory wall covered in photos, examining the pictures and the scattered bits of information under them.

Earlier, the little Demon Lord who had been following Jixian and Gao Xuenan had gotten emotional after being force fed affection, so she directly chose to go on strike. After wandering away from that commercial street for a bit, she suddenly noticed the existence of an orphanage and, on a whim, went inside to look around, only to discover this unexpected find.

“Uh… then did you tell Yuki?”

“No. Why would I tell him? He knows less about things like the Daughters of Amber Crystal than I do… and he’s very busy. You understand this stuff better, so I won’t bother him for now.”

The answer the little Demon Lord gave was not wrong, but Jiaqi inexplicably had a feeling that this girl was deliberately hiding it from Yuki.

“Then you’re looking for me because you want me to help you decide something. Or do you want to find the person in the photo?”

Jiaqi helplessly scratched his head and put on some clothes, preparing to head out and look for her.

“You won’t find her, don’t bother…”

On the other end, Eiru glanced at some of the information under the photo and gave a baffling answer.

“Huh?”

“I said, you won’t find her… and I’m guessing you’ve already gotten dressed and are about to come over. Just sit down like a good boy. Even if you come, it won’t help.”

As her childhood friend, the little Demon Lord could easily guess what he was thinking. After all, if it were her, she would have wanted to rush over and help immediately too.

“Stop talking in riddles. Why did you call me? Just say it straight.”

Jiaqi dropped back into his chair and pulled out a pen, ready to write things down.

She had been like this since she was a kid. Whenever she had some plan, she would act all mysterious. There was no special intention behind it, she just thought it was fun.

And every time that happened, Jiaqi was basically the one running errands for her. From childhood to now, it had always been like this, he was used to it. So the moment she showed this reaction, he was already prepared to take notes and organize the errands he would be running next.

“It’s nothing much. Just these next few days, help me… keep an eye on Little Ya.”

“Little Ya? What exactly am I supposed to watch out for?”

The sudden mention of Eiya caught Jiaqi off guard. After all, Eiya’s condition had been stable for a long time now. Logically, nothing should happen.

“Everything. I don’t know the specifics either, but something might happen on Little Ya’s side, so help me keep an eye on her. If anything goes wrong, ask that little thing on your head for help.”

On my head. What the hell… Jiaqi looked up, and a purple blue unidentified object slapped itself right onto his face.

‘What the hell is this, you left Hulu with me. I’ve got other roommates here.’

Jiaqi freaked out and immediately grabbed the thing off his face and stuffed it into his arms, then looked around, only to find that his roommates showed no reaction at all. It was as if they could not see the unidentified creature at all.

“Relax. I already told Hulu that aside from you and the few people in my dorm, it’s not allowed to let anyone else see it. So right now it’s keeping itself in an invisible state. Only you guys can see it.”

“Then you could’ve said that earlier. Are you trying to scare me to death.”

Letting out a breath, Jiaqi complained about how she had tormented his poor heart.

“Wait. You give Hulu to me and tell me to watch Little Ya… what are you trying to do?”

Jiaqi suddenly realized something was wrong, because these were not things he should be the one handling.

Given Eiru’s doting attitude toward her sister, if her sister might be in trouble, she would normally rush over herself first instead of dragging someone else in to help. This was abnormal to the point of being ridiculous.

And Eiru was always extremely careful about anything that might expose her non-human identity. Yet now she suddenly handed Hulu over to him.

“Help me fool Stupid Yuki. I might not be going back for dinner tonight. That’s all, bye.”

“Wait, Lu Brat, you…”

Before Jiaqi could finish, the phone was already filled with the beeping of a disconnected call.

Holding the photo she had taken down from the memory wall, the little Demon Lord looked up at the orphanage building not far away.

It was clearly daytime, but through the windows and door cracks, the inside of the orphanage was pitch black. It was practically screaming suspicious.

“Really does look like a horror movie.”

After making that comment, Her Majesty the Demon Lord put the photo back on the wall, then flapped her wings and floated toward the orphanage’s main entrance.

The photo wall was filled with daily life photos of young children. Under each photo was a number representing a year, followed by a wave symbol, seemingly indicating the child’s birth year and month.

Eiru had hidden one thing. There was not just one girl in the photos, but more than a dozen.

As if they had been carved from the same mold, there was not the slightest difference in their appearances. Silver white hair and blue eyes were their most striking features.

Under the photos of these girls, there were also numbers representing years. The only difference was that after the wave symbol, there was an extra string of numbers.
