Demon King – Chapter 513 – You Think the Demon Lord Is Dumb? She’s Sharp as Hell

“Anyone here? Where is everyone?”

When Xuenan returned to the dorm, she opened the door and called out a few times into the room. When there was no response, she immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Since no one else was around, there was no need for her to put on any kind of act. She suddenly slammed her bag down onto the desk, shouting angrily as if venting, grumbling to herself in this small space.

“How can someone be this stupid! What kind of bewitching soup did that Yuki feed her? Saying she doesn’t like him? She’s already been completely bewitched and doesn’t even know it!”

Sitting down on a chair and pounding the table hard, Xuenan looked like she hated iron for not becoming steel. But more than that, it was the resentment and unwillingness of having a beloved toy snatched away by someone else.

“No, I can’t just let her get ruined like this. I have to think of a way to drag her out… Even someone that cute he could go after. You really can’t tell. Turns out that Yuki is that filthy.”

Casually slapping such a label onto Yuki, all that remained in Xuenan’s mind was the thought of snatching that little girl to her own side. Good things should belong to oneself. Wasn’t that only natural?

Hearing the banging and clattering noise below, Yunyue, who had been lying on her bed with headphones on watching videos, poked her head out. After seeing clearly who was down there, she frowned, confused about what kind of crazy thing this madwoman was up to again.

Judging by her roommate’s violent mood, Yunyue figured that trying to calm her down right now would probably mean walking straight into the line of fire. To avoid becoming the target of her venting and starting a huge argument that would ruin everyone’s mood, Yunyue decisively chose to turn up the volume on her headphones and ignore the commotion below.

Yunyue really did not want to get involved in so many things, much less get tangled up in Xuenan’s affairs. But just as she was about to put her headphones back on, after hearing a few familiar words, her hand suddenly froze…

“What do you mean wanting to like him? Huh? If she doesn’t like him, how could she have such a bizarre thought? This is so stupid it’s the first time I’ve ever seen it. No, this is really too cheap for that guy…”

Oh, she’s probably talking about Eiru… Although the description was vague, Yunyue could still guess who Xuenan was talking about. After all, in her impression, the only one who could pull off something like this was Eiru.

As one of the little Demon Lord’s few friends, Yunyue naturally knew that Yuki and she were already together. That girl had even come to her for advice before, and through that she had learned about Eiru’s special circumstances.

Lulu was raised as a boy, and she and Yuki were best buddies. You barging in out of nowhere, of course you wouldn’t understand their relationship. Yuki’s position in her heart has always been important, the weight has always been there. What she’s troubled by is just how to turn that feeling into romance.

Sighing to herself, Yunyue quickly lost interest in this matter. She did not think her roommate could stir up any waves between those two anyway…

“Right! I remember now!”

Just as Yunyue put her headphones back on, Xuenan’s excited voice rang out, as if she had thought of some brilliant plan.

“So what did Gao Xuenan say to you? You went out strolling together, right?”

Looking at the silver-haired girl who obediently sat in his arms the moment she came back, Yuki asked considerately about what she had seen and heard today.

When interacting with people, Eiru had always come off as clingy and overly lively. Not good at starting conversations, whether online or in real life, she especially liked to rely on meaningless, seemingly cute phrases and meme stickers, acting like a chatterbox who bothered people for no reason.

But as long as you noticed her and started talking to her, she would become happy and excited beyond measure, opening the floodgates and chattering endlessly. To put it bluntly, she had been lonely for too long and wanted to attract attention, even if it was just simple chatting with someone…

So looking at his little girlfriend staring at him with anticipation, Yuki could already see the words “ask me, ask me” written all over her face. Naturally, he responded thoughtfully.

“I asked her about romance today, and she turned around and asked me about you… But her evaluation of you wasn’t very good.”

“Huh? My stuff? Oh… You told her that we’re dating?”

Yuki froze for a moment, but quickly understood what she meant.

“Yeah. Actually she’s a pretty nice person and quite concerned about me. She just doesn’t understand you or what’s between us, so she thinks you tricked me. Hehe~ She was super indirectly trying to persuade me to break up with you.”

What Xuenan never expected was that a certain girl actually understood all the implications in her words perfectly. She had just been playing dumb the whole time. Thinking that the other side was simply worried about her but did not understand the situation, Her Majesty the Demon Lord could only respond this way, while also taking the opportunity to gauge her views on such matters.

“Seriously, girls’ thoughts really are hard to understand… There’s always all kinds of things hidden in her words. If that’s the case, Aunt Mu’s future days probably won’t be easy.”

Slumped against Yuki as she complained, the Demon Lord could not help but worry about her roommate’s future love life.

“Yeah. But my Lu Brat is different. Super easy to understand, zero scheming.”

Yuki said with a grin, expressing agreement while also teasing his little girlfriend in return.

“That’s because I’m a tough guy. And there really isn’t anything I need to hide from you anyway…”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord yawned.

“Playing mind games all day is exhausting. I’m very lazy, you know.”

“Ah, we’re off topic… Let’s talk business. I did manage to dig out some pretty serious issues from Xuenan.”

Suddenly remembering something, the little Demon Lord flipped over and straddled Yuki’s thigh, her expression turning serious.

Yuki had let Eiru go probing for information precisely because he had a great deal of confidence. Although this girl was dumb-cute and a bit slow, she was not stupid. When she had a goal and intent, she could be very black-bellied and sly.

Coupled with her strong analytical ability, she could naturally extract scattered but crucial bits of information in conversation. As long as it was not about herself, once she got serious, mixed truth and lies like Xuenan’s were very easy for her to filter something out of.

“Xuenan generally has a pretty bad impression of boys. And more importantly… she deliberately hid Jixian’s matter from me. There must be something going on behind the scenes.”

Thinking about how the other side knew that Jixian and Yuki were roommates, the little Demon Lord had also thrown out her identity as Yuki’s girlfriend. It was a hint, making the other side think that she might know about her relationship with Jixian.

But Xuenan still deliberately avoided Jixian’s existence, the entire conversation revolving around her and Yuki instead… This inevitably made Her Majesty the Demon Lord suspicious. Perhaps between those two, there really was some kind of problem lurking beneath the surface.
