Demon King – Chapter 504 – Eiya’s Doomsday

After dinner, in order to avoid any bad reactions if a certain girl were to see her sister, Yuki shot Jiaqi a meaningful look. The latter immediately understood what he meant.

“Little Ya, you didn’t tell your parents before coming out this time, did you?”

“Nope. But I said I was coming to see my sister. They probably wouldn’t say anything, right?”

Eiya did not really care. Although Ei Yuan and Liu Wan usually restricted her outings quite strictly, as long as there was a proper reason, they generally would not scold her.

“But if uncle and aunt get worried and start looking for you, that’ll be troublesome. I’ll just take you back first.”

Jiaqi nudged her along, trying to escort this spoiled girl out of the apartment. Before Eiru woke up, this girl absolutely had to leave the place.

“What are you doing? I came all this way just to see my sister. What’s that supposed to mean?”

Eiya was extremely dissatisfied. She had not even seen her sister’s face yet. What was the point of coming all this way if that was the case?

“Be good. Next time… next time for sure.”

Pushing her to the door and urging her to put on her little leather shoes, Jiaqi then made an OK gesture toward Yuki inside the room.

“I’ll take Little Ya home. Lu Brat’s on you to look after… don’t let anything happen to her, or this little tiger next to me will eat you.”

“Who are you calling a tigress? You were clearly the fiercer one just now! And you were the one bullying me!”

Eiya immediately bared her claws and teeth, pretending she was about to pounce and bite someone, only to be pinned down on the spot by Jiaqi’s quick reflexes.

“We’re heading out!”

“What is this… big sis didn’t even look at me once…”

Amid Eiya’s complaints, Jiaqi took her away. The apartment instantly quieted down. With those two living disasters gone, Yuki suddenly felt the place become a little too silent.

“Get better soon… I still like you lively and mischievous.”

Walking to Eiru’s bedside and gently stroking her little face, Yuki’s expression was filled with both affection and worry.

He did hope his little girlfriend would be a bit more well-behaved, a bit more like a proper girl, but that had to be built on the premise that she was happy. The way she was now was absolutely not something he wanted to see.

—————

An hour or two later, Jiaqi finally managed to deliver the spoiled little princess beside him back home.

Along the way, this girl launched all kinds of attacks on him, biting, punching, and the like. Thankfully, he was much more mature now and did not bother to argue with her. If this were his younger self, that bratty girl would have already been messed with until she could only stand there going “aba aba”.

“Auntie, I’ve brought Little Ya back…”

Opening the door, Jiaqi saw a certain mother who had been so worried over her missing daughter that she was pacing around like an ant on a hot pan.

“Oh, Little Qi… thank you so much, thank you.”

Seeing her daughter safe and sound, Liu Wan finally let out a sigh of relief. After shooting a vicious glare at a certain girl, she warmly greeted Jiaqi.

Jiaqi’s father and Eiru and Eiya’s father had been close brothers since childhood, rolling around in the same fields together. Influenced by them, and with both families living in the same village, their relationship had always been extremely close and harmonious.

As such, Jiaqi, who had grown up playing together with her children, was to a large extent treated by Ei Yuan and Liu Wan as half a child of their own.

As everyone knew, when families were on good terms, parents tended to be even more polite and considerate toward other people’s children. Especially when that child was outstanding enough to serve as a role model, the treatment went up another level.

Whenever the two families sat together, both sets of parents would even joke around saying that since the three kids got along so well, Eiya might as well marry Jiaqi in the future.

Of course, this was just a joke. Many families liked to tease like this. As parents, as long as their children were not being deceived emotionally or having their lives affected, they would still leave the choice of romantic partners to the kids themselves.

“Where did you run off to? Not even a word… are you trying to learn from your brother and go fool around outside? He’s a boy, that’s one thing, but you’re a girl. Can you pay a bit more attention to your safety and image?”

Grabbing hold of Eiya, completely ignoring that Jiaqi was still there, Liuwan started scolding her daughter directly, even looking like she was about to hit her.

“Auntie, Little Ya went to see her sister… I mean, his brother. And Uncle Ling was the one who took her to Lu Brat’s place.”

Hearing this, Jiaqi felt a bit displeased, but he still stepped in to help Eiya out.

“I see… then would you like to sit down and have something to drink? There are still some snacks at home. It’s a shame Little Lu didn’t come back, otherwise you could all play together.”

Taking advantage of the moment, Eiya wriggled free from her mother’s grip and immediately hid behind Jiaqi. Mischievous as she was, she was not stupid. She naturally knew how to find the best shield on the scene. And as long as Jiaqi was here, her mother would not do anything to her for the sake of face.

“No need. I just had a few things to say to Little Ya, then I’ll head back.”

Jiaqi waved his hand to decline their hospitality, then turned back, half squatted down, and spoke softly to Eiya.

“Pudding and milk tea are fine, but ice cream will have to wait until your cough gets better. So I’m counting on you, alright… don’t mess it up. I’ll get going.”

“Don’t worry. If I’m on the job, there’s nothing I can’t handle.”

Eiya patted her own rather underdeveloped chest, then suddenly realized a very serious problem.

“Wait, you’re leaving right now?”

The fact that she had secretly run off after dance class was already confirmed. The reason her mother had not dealt with her yet was purely because Jiaqi was still here.

Originally, Eiya’s plan was to use Jiaqi as a shield for a while and drag things out. Once her mother calmed down and forgot about it, she would be completely fine. But now Jiaqi was straight up preparing to bolt. This meant she was absolutely screwed.

“Lu Brat isn’t even here. How am I supposed to stay? You’re not a little kid anymore either. You think it’s still appropriate to hang around together like when you were little?”

Jiaqi felt like laughing. This girl knew to talk about propriety when protecting her sister, but now that her life was on the line, she did not care about any of that at all.

“Wait wait wait, I think you can stay a bit long—”

“Nope nope, I’m out.”

Jiaqi smiled and waved goodbye to Liu Wan, then lowered his head and whispered a single sentence into Eiya’s ear.

“Get ready to be beaten, you little brat…”

After tossing that out, Jiaqi immediately slipped away, leaving behind a girl standing there in a daze, bearing the crushing pressure from behind.

“Eiya, come to the room. I want to talk to you.”

“Yes…”

As if she had been sentenced to death, Eiya drooped her head and followed behind Liu Wan. When her mother stopped using nicknames and instead called her and her sister by their full names, she could already predict the ending.

“Face the wall. Stand there. Then tell me where you secretly ran off to today, and how you even dragged your Brother Jiaqi in to cover for you. You’ve really grown capable, haven’t you?”
