Demon King – Chapter 534 – Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s Handsome-Man Trap

It was another routine outing. When Yuki arrived at the supermarket, he noticed a familiar figure not far ahead of him. The other person was alone, leaning against the wall while fiddling with her phone, with no particular expression on her face.

“You’re… Gao Xuenan, right? What are you doing here by yourself?”

Yuki stepped forward and greeted her. The action looked natural on the surface, but his heart was full of helplessness.

“Hm? Nothing really… just planning to walk around here.”

Xuenan was clearly surprised to see Yuki appear here as well, but she quickly reined in that surprise and replied politely.

“Since we sort of know each other… and I need to buy some stuff here too, how about we walk together?”

With a forced smile on his face, Yuki was actually extremely resistant inside.

‘I have a girlfriend, damn it! What the hell is this supposed to be!’

“Alright…”

After thinking about it and realizing she had no other plans, Xuenan agreed to Yuki’s suggestion. With their own thoughts in mind, the two formed a temporary team and began wandering around the supermarket together.

Their meeting looked like a coincidence, but in truth it was something a certain Demon Lord had arranged in advance. After observing Xuenan for some time, she had summarized her behavioral patterns and confirmed that today was a time slot when Xuenan would be alone.

The time rewound to that afternoon, when Her Majesty the Demon Lord proposed the troublemaking plan she had come up with to Yuki in the dorm.

“I have a plan. If she harbors ulterior motives, it will surely force her to reveal her true colors!”

“I’d like to hear the details.”

“The ancients said that heroes cannot pass the test of beauty. We can dispatch a beauty to test her. If she harbors ulterior motives, then she will surely…”

“Stop, stop, stop. Speak like a normal person. Aren’t you tired of talking in classical Chinese?”

Yuki quickly interrupted Eiru. This wasn’t an opera performance. Could she please talk properly?

“Fine, fine. Anyway, it’s just testing her. If she doesn’t have genuine feelings for Aunt Mu, I think she’ll fall for it pretty quickly…”

During this period, the little Demon Lord had done some basic investigation on all the boys who had dealings with Xuenan. Although their places of residence and schools were all different and they had no connections with each other, she still found what they had in common.

Aside from Jixian, who had the extra layer of being a childhood sweetheart, Eiru discovered that everyone who had dealings with Xuenan met the following three conditions. Decent looks, good academic performance, and very good family finances or at least strong personal financial conditions.

“So, Stupid Yuki, you perfectly meet all the conditions! You go test her out. If there’s a problem, one test will expose it.”

Yuki’s looks at Seventh High were unquestionably at campus-heartthrob level, not to mention his wealthy family background and his status as the top student of the grade. If Xuenan really was stringing those boys along as her wallets, then by her screening standards, as long as she had the chance, there was no reason for her to let a fat piece of meat like Yuki go, right?

Eiru’s plan sounded logical at first glance, but to Yuki, it was infuriating and headache-inducing.

‘I’m your boyfriend, damn it! And you want me to go flirt with another woman? I’m not even going to start. Let me put it bluntly, is there something wrong with your brain!’

Seeing the strange and awkward look on Yuki’s face, the little Demon Lord quickly realized the reason for his reaction. She reached out and gently patted his back as she explained.

“Relax, it’s just the normal kind of making friends. I’m not asking you to use any handsome-man trap to seduce her. If she treats you like a wallet or shows any abnormal behavior, I’m sure the two of us will notice.”

“But I still don’t like it… and aren’t you afraid Aunt Mu will find out and beat me to death?”

Yuki let out a long sigh, lamenting what kind of ridiculous situation this was.

“Don’t worry, I’ve calculated it. Right now, Xuenan has dealings with four boys in total, and she rotates through them according to a specific time pattern.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord counted on her fingers as she described the conclusions she had drawn from her observations, telling Yuki about Xuenan’s scheduling habits.

No one knew whether Xuenan was deliberately leaving a few extra slots open or reserving some alone time for herself, but according to the pattern Eiru discovered, her schedule actually still had quite a lot of free time. That was what made Eiru come up with this idea, to have Yuki go test her.

“I’m not doing it. Why don’t you let Jiaqi go instead?”

“He’s not as sharp as you, and his conditions aren’t as good either. Don’t worry, I’m really not asking you to cheat. You’ve received so many love letters without batting an eye. If you get close to her, it might even make her let her guard down and reveal her flaws. Of course, that’s only if she really has a problem…”

The little Demon Lord was getting anxious too. She felt that Yuki had misunderstood her intentions, and she kept emphasizing this point while explaining.

In the end, unable to argue her down, Yuki reluctantly accepted the proposal. The two of them made three rules. As soon as Xuenan showed overly intimate behavior, Yuki would immediately withdraw. Not betraying his own little girlfriend was his absolute principle.

Time returned to the present. Yuki and Xuenan were wandering around the supermarket, with hardly any conversation between them, simply picking out the things they wanted.

Yuki hadn’t forgotten his original purpose and was thinking about how to test Xuenan without violating his principles. He wasn’t particularly good at striking up conversations with girls, and since he was always cold toward others, taking the initiative to chat was even less likely.

As for why he could talk so freely with Yunyue, it was because both of them cared about Eiru. And through long-term interaction, he had genuinely come to regard Yunyue as a good friend. As for this Xuenan, Yuki really couldn’t muster any desire to talk to her.

On the other side, Xuenan was also thinking about her own plans. Yuki’s reputation was known by everyone in the entire grade. It was impossible for her to say she hadn’t thought about turning him into her premium wallet.

But compared to that, she had even deeper intentions. Not long ago, she learned that the silver-haired boy beside her was the boyfriend of that silver-haired loli she valued so much. So Xuenan, who always held a bias against men, was completely focused on how to make the two of them break up, and then make that silver-haired girl her own.

That’s right. As long as she could let that girl see this scumbag’s true nature, it would be enough. Xuenan came up with a plan. No girl could forgive a partner’s infidelity. As long as she could make Yuki develop feelings for her…

She was calculating ways to get closer to him, but looking at Yuki’s cold and unapproachable demeanor, doubts crept into her heart. Is this guy really that easy to hook? If it fails, wouldn’t it just make that girl think he’s steadfast and loyal, producing the opposite effect?

With their own schemes in mind, the two kept a certain distance, backs to each other, absentmindedly selecting goods from the shelves. And not far behind them, suspended in midair, a transparent loli figure was also secretly observing.

“What are you even doing? You’re not here to shop! Stupid Yuki, stop buying stuff already and hurry up and test what her problem is!”
