Demon King – Chapter 508 – Controlling Mother

“Don’t panic, don’t panic. Your big brother will think of a way…”

The little Demon Lord hurriedly put the phone to her ear and started coaxing her little sister, her head aching badly right now.

Why did something have to go wrong at this exact moment? Even if she ran back now and told their parents that she had stabilized Little Ya’s condition, she could not produce any concrete proof.

“Still calling yourself big brother…”

Yuki muttered quietly, finding these two sisters genuinely amusing in his heart. You call me big sister, I call myself big brother, everyone calls themselves whatever they want.

It took quite a while to finally calm down the person on the other end of the call. After leaving behind a line about how she would figure something out, Eiru hung up and started scratching her head in frustration.

“What happened, what’s going on? What did little Eiya do over there?”

Yuki had been sitting beside her the whole time, but out of respect for her privacy, he would not eavesdrop on his girlfriend’s call, so he naturally had no idea what had happened.

“Little Ya’s wig got knocked off, and my mom saw it. I heard my mom completely freaked out.”

Just a daughter changing her hair color already made her that anxious. If she found out that her son had not only turned into a daughter but even changed species, what kind of reaction would that be? Yuki complained silently in his heart as he reached out and grabbed Eiru’s hands, stopping her from scratching her head.

“Stop scratching, it won’t look good if your hair falls out.”

“My hair won’t fall out, okay? Even if it’s cut off, it’ll grow back immediately. That’s not the point though. What I’m worried about now is my parents pulling some weird stunt again. This stuff is really sensitive in my family.”

What the Demon Lord was most worried about right now was whether Eiya would be taken by their clueless parents to the hospital for some strange treatments.

Every so often, Eiru would personally check on her little sister’s physical condition. Although she could not explain why the hair color changed, she was certain there were no major problems with Eiya’s body.

If Ei Yuan and Liu Wan worried too much about this and forcibly treated a perfectly healthy person as sick, demanding treatment, who knew what kind of bizarre issues might arise. It was not that she doubted the doctors’ abilities, but treating a non-ill person as ill was troublesome for everyone.

“If you’re worried about all these uncertainties, you could just come clean and explain the situation between you sisters clearly. I think that could work.”

Looking at the troubled loli beside him, Yuki offered his suggestion.

He had also thought about the possibility that Eiru’s parents might not be able to accept their son turning into what she was now, but no matter what, he felt this was not something that could be hidden forever.

And the current Eiru was different now. She had him behind her. If her family did not want her, he could become her best support and shield. Worst case, he would just bring her back to his place.

“No, absolutely not. I’d rather hide it from them for my entire life.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord rejected the proposal without the slightest hesitation. Her current life was pretty good, there was no need to take that kind of risk.

“Then just use dyeing hair as an excuse to muddle through?”

“That wouldn’t be much better. You don’t know my mom. Her need for control is extremely strong.”

The little Demon Lord sighed.

“Everything about me and Little Ya has to go according to her wishes. The slightest disobedience and both of us get scolded and punished.”

Liu Wan had always been extremely strict with her children. Sending Eiru out was also meant as a form of tempering. Although Eiru’s performance had greatly disappointed her, toward this “good-for-nothing” son she still maintained an attitude of caring but not paying attention.

That was to say, she cared about Eiru’s situation, but more often than not had no time to spare for this son who was away. As long as he did not run into any major trouble outside, she would not bother managing him at all.

So the one who ended up unlucky was Eiya, the child in whom all hope was placed. While receiving all the care and doting, Liu Wan, even amidst her busy work schedule, would supervise every aspect of this treasured child. In some sense, the loli outside actually lived a more relaxed life.

“Let’s not even talk about how our hair color is obviously different from dyed hair. Even if she really believes it. Just based on how we normally have to report in just to go out and have fun, do you think my mom wouldn’t grab Littleya by the head and force her to go dye it back?”

Based purely on her usual understanding of Liu Wan, the little Demon Lord could already picture the scene in her head. That ferocious face, one hand pressing down on her sister’s head, escorting her straight into a hair salon.

“I get it. My mom’s control issues are pretty strong too. You know that she still doesn’t allow me to associate with you.”

Yuki smiled bitterly. In this regard, he could empathize quite a bit, though his daily performance was good enough that he had earned himself a fair amount of freedom.

“Exactly. If she really gets dragged off to dye her hair, and then they find out it can’t be dyed black, won’t the problem just go right back to square one?”

“Then do you have any better ideas? Other than coming clean and explaining everything, there’s really no other way, right?”

Yuki still did not give up on persuading her. Besides, this was also something his old man had entrusted him with.

The father and son had privately discussed this before and unanimously felt that, in every respect, it would be better for Eiru to explain things clearly to her family.

Yuki had once questioned this, asking what if the other family could not accept it. But Officer Li, who believed he understood his old friend very well, felt that Ei Yuan would not care about this sort of thing.

In the end, he even gave Yuki his word. If something like that really happened, he would find a way to bring the girl into their home. If worst came to worst, they could rent an apartment outside. Schooling and living issues would all be handled by them.

With the escape route already paved, Yuki dared to persuade his girlfriend to come clean with her family. He had to consider everything thoroughly. When it came to her matters, he would never offer empty promises.

“I don’t want to. Or how about this. If Little Ya really gets sent to the hospital, I’ll swap places with her. You help me take care of Little Ya for a while?”

“No, I refuse. I can’t believe you’d even think of such an idea.”

Yuki flicked Eiru on her little forehead. Loving your sister still needed limits. Was this something you could just swap at will?

Eiya was still a human no matter what. If she went into a hospital for examinations, they would not find anything wrong. But you, you little demon, go in there and the moment you get some random X-ray, you would be exposed on the spot.

And Yuki was very clear that he was actually quite selfish about this. The one he liked was Eiru. He did not want her sister to suffer, but if it came to letting Eiru suffer in Eiya’s place, that was absolutely unacceptable to him. That was his bottom line.

“Let’s wait and see for a few days. Maybe it’s not as serious as you think. Since your parents know about the Daughters of Amber Crystal, they should also understand that going to the hospital for this kind of thing is useless.”

Yuki felt that no conclusion could be drawn at this stage. If Eiru and Eiya’s parents were not idiots, they would most likely observe for a while just like they were.

“Yeah. For now, that’s all we can do…”
