Demon King – Chapter 523 – A Chapter Without the Demon Lord Appearing

That said, why was Xuenan suddenly so concerned about this? Was she worried that Eiru and Yuki would get caught? But she didn’t seem close to Yuki, and she didn’t know Eiru either, right?

Given Eiru’s reputation on campus, even delinquent students had to detour when they saw her. Aside from the few of them who knew the inside story, basically no one had the guts to get involved with that girl.

As an aside, the fact that a certain girl had transferred into the Honor Class had caused quite an uproar. A lot of people, including many of the current Honor Class students, unanimously believed that she had cheated.

Back to the topic at hand. Xuenan’s unusual attitude made Jixian think of a possibility. Could it be that she had accidentally let something slip, so she was worried that Yuki and Eiru would be investigated?

While Jixian was spinning all kinds of theories in his head, Xuenan beside him was already mentally cursing the boys’ dorm supervisor nonstop. What the hell are you even doing? He brings a girl back every single day and you can’t find a damn thing? That’s pathetic…

“Um, Xuenan… did I mention before that someone in my dorm brings his girlfriend back?”

The more he thought about it, the more confused Jixian became, and he decided it would be better to just ask her directly.

“Yeah, you told me… and I heard voices on the phone that day too. What’s wrong?”

“Well, I was just wondering… did you maybe accidentally tell someone about this? I’m not blaming you or anything. Everyone slips up sometimes… if you really did, it’s fine to say it. I just want to confirm.”

Afraid she might misunderstand him, Jixian hurried to explain his intent after asking.

“As far as I remember, no…”

Xuenan thought about it for a moment, then decided to hide it. Besides, it wasn’t really an accident anyway. If that girl started suspecting her, her impression score would plummet, and the plan would be dead in the water.

“I see. That’s good… I trust you.”

Jixian let out a sigh of relief. At least the person he cared about wasn’t the leak. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know how to explain things back to his dorm brothers.

But if it wasn’t Xuenan either, then who had leaked the information? Not just Jixian, this question had been bothering the others for quite some time as well. Every suspect had been ruled out. It couldn’t really be that stupid girl or her sister pulling something, could it?

As he thought about it, looking at the person beside him, Jixian suddenly remembered the advice Yunyue had given him some time ago. Although she had put it very tactfully, the way she said it… could it be that there was some kind of bad blood between the two of them?

“Xuenan, um… do you know someone called Yunyue?”

The more he thought about it, the more it bothered him, and Jixian couldn’t help asking the question. Then he noticed that the moment the person beside him heard that name, her expression suddenly became a bit off…

“You… do you know her?”

“Hm hm hm~”

On the rooftop of the teaching building at a high school in Huanghai City, a cute-looking blonde girl was holding a lunchbox and happily eating the fruit inside.

Although she looked quite young and was only slightly taller than a certain silver-haired girl… people who knew her all understood that this outwardly childish-looking cute girl was actually already an adult third-year high school student.

That’s right. She was Yunyan, known among her online friends as the Wulong loli. Unlike a certain girl whose mentality had regressed to childhood, the aura she gave off was clearly closer to that of a young woman. She could be naive at times, but overall she was relatively mature.

“Looks like you’re in a good mood, baby…”

A boy pushed open the stairwell door and walked in, teasing Yunyan as she hummed a little tune.

“You took advantage of your leave to come bring me fruit. Of course I’m happy~”

Yunyan replied with a slightly coquettish tone, tilting her head and leaning directly against the shoulder of the boy sitting beside her.

“Don’t forget about going out together this weekend～”

“I know. Every day you want me to go with you, drink with your friends… you really want to show me off in front of them that badly?”

She muttered with a bit of dissatisfaction, but didn’t show much actual opposition.

There had been a period before when he had been quite cold to her, making her wonder if she had done something wrong. But now their relationship had been mended. As long as his requests weren’t too excessive, Yunyan didn’t really have any reason to refuse.

Still, as a girl, Yunyan felt some resistance toward staying among a group of guys drinking. But since it was just showing affection, and her boyfriend would be there anyway, even if she couldn’t hold her liquor and got drunk, he would protect her, right?

“If I get drunk, you have to protect me, okay~”

“Of course. You’re my little baby~”

The boy hooked a finger under Yunyan’s nose.

“I’m bringing you there so they can envy you. Let them see you but not touch you.”

“Such a smooth talker… hee…”

A blush spread across Yunyan’s cheeks as she shyly gave him a light punch.

“Oh right, can I bring a friend along?”

Suddenly remembering that she hadn’t told him about Eiru yet, Yunyan took the chance while her boyfriend was here to bring it up.

“You know, even with you there, being the only girl among a bunch of guys is still kind of awkward, so I want someone to keep me company.”

“Huh? Your friend? A guy or a girl… ah, sorry, dumb question. How many people?”

The boy raised an eyebrow.

“Is she as cute as you?”

“Huh? What are you trying to do?”

His flippant tone instantly darkened Yunyan’s expression.

“You already have me, and you’re asking if someone else is cute. What’s that supposed to mean?”

“No no no, I was just asking casually… don’t take it seriously.”

Realizing things were going south, the boy hurriedly waved his hands and explained.

They had been together for quite a while, and he more or less understood her personality. Yunyan was great in every way, usually acting like a clingy little wife, obedient to him in everything…

But beneath that docility, Yunyan had an almost pathological level of possessiveness when it came to relationships. You could treat her however you wanted most of the time, but the moment her boyfriend showed even a hint of flirtation toward other girls… her yandere potential would surface without mercy.

Hearing his explanation, brimming with survival instinct, Yunyan’s expression eased slightly. She half-closed her eyes, glanced at him, then pulled out her phone and fiddled with it for a moment before showing a photo to the person beside her.

“She’s a really good friend of mine. She said she also wanted to come out and have some fun, keep me company… here, this is her photo.”

Looking at the silver-haired girl in the picture, the boy frowned, looking thoughtful. That subtle reaction didn’t escape Yunyan’s eyes and immediately provoked her questioning once again.

“That reaction of yours… don’t tell me you know her?”

Yunyan narrowed her eyes, a faint killing intent seeping into her tone.

The boy instantly broke out in a cold sweat. It felt like if he answered even slightly wrong, the girl beside him would pull a knife and stab him on the spot… this was not something he dared to gamble his life on.
