Demon King – Chapter 480 – Of Course She Would Be Raised as a Daughter

Carrying their feelings and longing for each other, this pair of childhood sweethearts and happy rivals ultimately fulfilled the vows they had made back then and ended up together.

The turning point in their relationship was that girl who had already passed away. Even though they had long forgotten her name, she continued to live on in their memories.

Even now, Officer Li still remembered the things the girl had said to them back then. Although they did not really understand at the time, now that they had grown up and ended up together, they finally understood the good intentions behind her words.

That crude portrait of a person, rough like a child’s doodle, was still kept in the album the two of them treasured. Though it had taken on many traces of time, it was still preserved fairly well. Every time they saw that drawing, it felt as if the girl’s voice was right beside their ears.

“Even though she does not exist right now… probably? But if one day you meet her, you must get along with her properly, okay? It might sound strange, but back then, she must have just been an ordinary little child…”

Even though it sounded mystical and unreasonable, neither of them treated those words like some crank’s rambling. For some reason, they believed from the bottom of their hearts that even if she did not exist now, there would definitely be such a girl born someday.

Of course, over the years, Yuki’s parents had kept an eye out for whether a girl resembling the one in the drawing might appear around them. But whether because the drawing style was too abstract to recognize, or simply because they truly never ran into her, they never saw such a child appear, all the way until Yuki was born.

Back when Ning Xin was close to giving birth to Yuki, Officer Li, who had been busy with work outside, took leave and hurried back home. Lying on the hospital bed at the time, Ning Xin joked with her partner to ease the tense atmosphere.

“If it is a girl, maybe what she said back then was about our child. Especially if she has white hair and blue eyes like me.”

“That would be great too. We would definitely dote on her properly, would we not?”

Usually serious, Officer Li was rarely amused by his lover like this, and he followed along with her joke.

Of course, Yuki turned out to be a boy, so their guess naturally fell apart. But that did not stop them from treating Yuki as the apple of their eye. While training him, they also did their utmost to protect and care for him.

Because of their busy work, their only regret was that they could not properly accompany Yuki during his childhood. Even so, they found a nanny to take care of his daily needs and did their best to give him sufficient affection.

So in terms of experience, Eiru and Yuki were actually very similar. Both of them failed to receive enough parental companionship during childhood, leading to more or less some psychological issues.

The difference was that Yuki was an only child, with all the family’s care and resources focused on him. Eiru, on the other hand, had most of the attention taken by her younger sister, leaving her with very limited affection.

In their spare time from work, Yuki’s parents also investigated the situation of that girl from back then, and eventually uncovered the legend of the Daughters of Amber Crystal. After cross-checking the information, they found that everything matched perfectly. Their childhood companion who died young was undoubtedly one of the Daughters of Amber Crystal.

But compared to other girls who spent their entire lives confined indoors, she could be said to have been enviably fortunate. She could play in the yard, read books and learn knowledge, and she had people around her who genuinely cared about her.

Every Daughter of Amber Crystal, in the final stage of her life, would inexplicably receive some strange information. Because this girl had encountered far more things and understood far more than other Daughters of Amber Crystal, she became the only one who comprehended most of that information.

This tragic cycle would eventually come to an end, and the trigger lay with some child whose existence was not even certain yet. Relying on her own intuition, the girl did everything she could to pass on the information she knew to her two little companions.

So the clues Yuki had been desperately searching for to solve the problems on Eiru’s body had actually always been right by his side. Even before he was born, his parents already knew quite a bit of the inside story.

That day, while handling the case at the apartment, the moment Officer Li saw the person who opened the door, he understood everything the girl had said back then. This little demon was exactly the existence she had spoken of.

Even though there was no concrete evidence, and the only lead was a child’s drawing composed of a few simple shapes, Officer Li just knew that the little demon in front of him was the person they had been searching for all along.

Because he had long known they would meet someday, Officer Li was not particularly surprised, even though he saw through her non-human nature at first glance. As far back as his own childhood, he had known that such a special girl would definitely exist. No matter what was special about her, she was still just an ordinary child.

Carrying some guilt toward that girl from back then, and also to fulfill her final wish, Officer Li chose to keep things confidential in order to protect this foolish girl, all while being unaware that the higher-ups had already investigated her information long ago.

After that, Officer Li sincerely cared for and looked after this troublesome girl from the bottom of his heart. It was as if he were treating her as his own daughter, watching over her in his own way.

He had originally wanted to tell his lover about this matter as well, but every time he got busy, he would forget about it. On top of that, Ning Xin was also busy with work, so there were indeed not many opportunities to talk about such things.

By the time Officer Li finally remembered this matter on a rare occasion when she was at home, he hesitated. It was precisely because Yuki had brought Eiru home that this memory resurfaced.

If not for the fact that her parents were still alive, Officer Li would have wanted to directly adopt this little demon. He believed his lover would understand and make the same decision, because this was their shared secret.

But the problem was that his son had gone and fallen for this little demon, which made things very awkward. Every decision Ning Xin made placed Yuki’s life as the top priority. If she learned of the situation right now, how she would treat Eiru was something Officer Li could not judge at all.

So he had to wait and see for now, at least until he had properly sorted out his son’s mindset and made sure it would not affect his future. Only then would Officer Li have a way to help this young couple put in a good word and get his lover to accept the situation.

“It has been so many years, and we still have not seen that little girl she talked about…”

Ning Xin noticed the drawing in the album and sighed with emotion.

“If you did meet her, what would you do?”

“Then I would probably bring her back and raise her as a daughter. That goes without saying. And we could also find a little sister for Little Yuki to keep him company. He would definitely be happy about having an extra sister.”

‘Forget it, he would definitely not be happy.’

With a headache, Officer Li sighed. He knew very well what it felt like to like someone. Turning lovers into siblings, if that idiot kid found out, he would probably jump up and go berserk on the spot.
