Demon King – Chapter 507 – Falling Into Panic

At this point, Liu Wan almost wished her daughter really had gone bad and dyed her hair. But she could not deceive herself, because this matter was tied directly to her child’s life.

Dyed hair and naturally formed hair color were very different things. Whether hair was dyed or not, most people could tell at a glance. And Liu Wan, who knew quite a bit about the Daughters of Amber Crystal, had no chance of being wrong about this…

“Mom, don’t be so anxious… it’s just that my hair turned white, it’s not that big of a deal.”

Eiya tried to calm her increasingly agitated mother, but it did not seem to have much effect.

“What do you mean it’s not a big deal? Do you have any idea that this—”

She shouted in her panic, but halfway through, Liu Wan suddenly remembered that their family had never told Eiya about this matter.

Out of fear of causing panic in the children, Ei Yuan, Liu Wan, and all the relatives who knew the truth had reached a consensus. While searching for a solution, they would also avoid revealing these things to Eiru and Eiya, so as not to affect the two children’s lives and growth.

Because she did not know that Eiru and Eiya had already gathered detailed information through their own channels, Liu Wan’s words got stuck in her throat. Getting anxious at an “uninformed” daughter would not only be useless, it might even scare her.

Maybe the child was afraid that her parents would think she had gone bad. To avoid scolding and lectures, she had been wearing a wig to hide it all this time. She herself had been too anxious and had not considered that the most frightened one might actually be the child.

“Little Ya, just now Mom was too worked up… don’t be afraid. Be good and tell Mom, when did your hair become like this?”

Thinking this through, Liu Wan forcibly suppressed the anxiety in her heart and squeezed out a gentle smile.

The most urgent thing now was to clarify the situation, while also avoiding arousing her daughter’s suspicion and fear. So Liu Wan tried her best to appear kind, soothing her daughter as she asked for specific details.

“Mom knows you definitely didn’t go dye your hair after going bad, so you don’t need to be scared… Mom won’t blame you for this. Just tell me, when did your hair turn like this, okay?”

“Probably… the year you had sis… brother move out? After some time, my hair started turning like this. I was afraid you’d find out, so I kept using hair dye, and only recently started using a wig.”

Seeing that she could not hide it, Eiya honestly confessed… though in her foolishness she nearly let slip some important details.

“That’s not right. You were already over ten back then…”

Hearing her daughter’s answer, Liu Wan fell into deep thought. Because she was so anxious, she did not notice the abrupt word her daughter had used.

Eiya could only smile awkwardly. She did not dare tell Liu Wan that she was actually in the know. And with her sister’s mana guaranteeing things, she was very confident that nothing would happen to her. There was no special reason for that, she simply trusted Eiru.

That said, she really was complaining inwardly at this moment. Wigs really were not as reliable as hair dye… but if she could not use hair dye, there was nothing she could do either.

“Have you been feeling unwell lately… wait a second, you’ve been coughing really badly these past few days…”

Cursing herself and her husband for having let their guard down because of work, Liu Wan was about to ask such a foolish question when she suddenly remembered how badly Eiya had been coughing recently.

At first, she had only treated it as a normal cough from something like a sore throat. She bought cough syrup, had Eiya hold honey in her mouth, and so on… Liu Wan had not taken it seriously at all and had dealt with it like an ordinary issue.

But now, looking at her daughter still coughing badly, with all those usually effective methods having no effect whatsoever, it was hard not to associate this with that sensitive topic at home.

“You go back to your room and study properly. If you’re tired, rest a bit… get more rest, your health is important. If there’s anything, Mom will call you.”

Forcing a gentle smile, Liu Wan sent her daughter back to her room. She did not even want to pursue the matter of her sneaking out behind their backs anymore.

She knew very well what was important and what was not. Whether the child had gone bad no longer mattered. The most important thing now was preserving her daughter’s life.

After locking the room door and making sure her daughter would not come over to eavesdrop out of curiosity, Liu Wan took out her phone with trembling hands and called her partner…

“Sis, this is bad… Mom found out about my hair.”

With a hint of tears in her voice, a helpless Eiya began asking her sister for a way to solve the problem.

Mother and daughter really were mother and daughter. In this regard, they were surprisingly in sync. While Liu Wan was on guard against Eiya listening in, carefully dialing Ei Yuan’s number, Eiya, separated by two doors, was also on guard against her mother, taking out her phone and calling her sister.

When the little Demon Lord picked up the call and heard her sister’s voice, a chill ran down her spine and she shuddered. Even though she had thought things through, deep down she still suspected that all of this was her responsibility. The shadow of it had not faded so quickly.

Yuki sat helplessly beside his little girlfriend as she took the call, gently stroking her back like smoothing fur to comfort her. With his efforts, the girl finally managed to speak and communicate with the loli on the other end of the line.

“No way. Where’s the wig I gave you? You forgot to wear it? I put a lot of effort into making it, there’s no way it should’ve been noticeable.”

“I went over to your place today without telling Mom and Dad. Then when Mom was lecturing me, we struggled a bit, and the wig got pulled off…”

“Little Ya came over today?”

Hearing her sister’s reply, Eiru was confused. She lowered the phone and confirmed it with Yuki beside her.

“She did. You were sleeping… before you woke up, Jiaqi sent her back.”

Since the girl’s condition had mostly recovered, Yuki did not hide anything and told her about Eiya’s visit.

“Then why didn’t you wake me up? If Little Ya came, shouldn’t I have taken care of her?”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord complained a little.

“And with me not around, Stupid Qi definitely bullied her, right?”

Her sister had come all that way, yet she herself had been asleep the whole time. As a good big brother who doted on his little sister, Eiru felt she had unquestionably failed this time.

“Silly girl, think about what state you were in before. Would I have dared let you see little Eiya? Before she came, I specifically coaxed you to sleep, because I was afraid you’d get PTSD seeing her and cause trouble for both of you.”

Yuki tapped her forehead unhappily. Who do you think I did all this for?

“Alright… but next time…”

The little Demon Lord was about to say something more when the helpless and anxious voice from the phone interrupted her.

“Sis? Are you still there? Are you there? What should I do? Mom really looks anxious… I’m so scared something will go wrong…”
