Demon King – Chapter 537 – Another Break Again?
“Sigh, one of my roommates got written up and kicked out of the dorm… it feels pretty awful…”
It was still the same ‘normal’ way of getting along, but today Gao Xuenan suddenly dropped this bomb on Li Yuki.
“Written up and expelled from the dorm? What did your roommate even do?”
“Kept a small animal and got caught… directly expelled from the dorm, plus a disciplinary record.”
“Huh? A small animal…”
The moment that came up, Yuki felt a little guilty. After all, their dorm had committed the exact same offense. One big cat, one weird little creature, and one loli…
Today, Yuki was still following his little girlfriend’s arrangement, coming over to warm things up and feel Xuenan out a bit. But even if it was called probing, with him keeping his distance, at most it was just casual chatting like normal friends.
That certain loli did not secretly trail behind them like before. Taking the attitude of out of sight, out of mind, the unlucky kid directly chose to run off somewhere else to have fun on her own.
Her Majesty the Demon Lord handled things in exactly this freewheeling way. Unless it was something absolutely necessary, she would not think about unhappy things, nor would she go near them. Living comfortably was the most important thing anyway. Why deliberately make herself uncomfortable?
‘If you feel bad inside, then stop doing this kind of thing and think of another way, wouldn’t that be better?’
That day, Yuki had actually suggested something like that, but she had rejected it outright.
“A real man keeps his word. Going back on it halfway through, what kind of thing is that? It was my decision, after all. Going back on my word would make people look down on me!”

‘Who would look down on you over something like this? And what kind of real man are you anyway…’
Yuki honestly did not know how to roast this stupid loli anymore.
‘Since you are dead set on saving face while suffering for it, then there is nothing else I can do.’
‘If you have the guts, then come over and watch. Running off on your own like this, what the hell is that supposed to mean…’
Knowing that Eiru was not secretly watching them, Yuki let out a deep sigh.
So why is she always this stubborn when it comes to these weird things?
Just as he was feeling helpless, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. When he took it out and looked, Yuki’s eyes went wide. Because the stupid loli he had just been thinking about actually called him out of the blue.
Unbelievable. Weren’t you a firm believer in texting? Didn’t you say you never make calls… He gestured to Xuenan to indicate he was answering the phone, then picked up. The slightly childish loli voice came through the line.
“Hello~ There’s a milk tea shop next to me. Want me to bring you a cup?”
“For something like this, you actually called me… did the sun rise from the south today?”
“Huh? What are you saying? I was worried you’d be chatting too happily with her and wouldn’t see my messages, okay? This is thoughtful consideration from a tough guy. What are you even thinking?”
Rеaԁ oո КαtReαԁіոgCαfe
The voice on the other end sounded a bit unhappy, but what she was really thinking, Yuki understood perfectly.
‘You always reply to her messages instantly even during class. Whether chatting with someone else would affect your replies, you know that yourself. In the end, you are just feeling uncomfortable, so you used buying milk tea as an excuse and conveniently called to check in, right?’
“If you want it, say it already. What do you want to drink, Lu Brat? I’ll bring it back to the dorm.”
“Then I want to drink you.”
“You fucker… Xuenan is right next to me. If you are going to act like a pervert, can you at least pick a time when the living world is open?”
“Okay okay, my bad. Anyway, you know what I like to drink. Just pick something for me.”
The stupid loli on the other end was easy to tease. Yuki smiled along, every word filled with indulgence toward her.
Watching this scene from the side, Xuenan was grinding her teeth a bit. From his reaction, she could already tell who was on the other end of the call. Especially the contrast between his cold attitude toward her and the way he was acting now made her even more irritated.
On one hand, there was the anger she had mentioned before, the irritation of her cherished things being tainted by someone else. On the other hand, there was jealousy. Xuenan, who was always admired by all kinds of guys, naturally felt unhappy being treated so differently.
‘Sure, that loli really is cute, but is your reaction saying that I am nowhere near as good as her? That is infuriating, okay? Being cold to me while fawning over her like that, it seriously makes me sick…’
Xuenan was seething internally. If it were not for maintaining her image, she would probably already be stomping on the spot in anger. At the same time, she became even more determined. She had to find a way to lure Yuki over.
Not just to make the two of them break up and turn that loli into her own, but also to prove that her own charm would not lose to anyone.

“Got it. I’ll buy you a new drink, tomato and egg soup. You’ll like it, right?”
“Hey, is that milk tea? Lu Brat, what are you doing? Lu Brat!”
“Not talking anymore, not talking anymore. I’m out of phone credit. You’re drinking this thing. Bye!”
Yuki still wanted to say something, but the other end of the line was already filled with the beeping tone.
‘Fine, mess around all you want now. Once I get back to the dorm, you are dead.’
“Oh right, Li Yuki, do you have any plans next week?”
Seeing Yuki hang up, Xuenan stopped thinking and asked him.
“Next week? Why? Maybe yes, maybe no… wait, next week seems like there’s a break?”
With that reminder, Yuki suddenly remembered. Because Seventh High’s teaching building was going to be renovated, there would be some adjustments to where classes were held for their grade.
Since there were not enough empty classrooms, some classes would be sent home to study on their own. By normal school logic, it was always the key classes that stayed, while the slacker classes were sent home to run wild.
But Seventh High was a weird school. It insisted on doing the opposite. Only the two top classes in arts and sciences were given a break, while all the other classes had to squeeze into the old teaching building and make do. It never followed the usual script.
Reaⅾ оn KαtReаⅾіnɡСаfе
The reasoning was also very solid. Letting top students balance work and rest was one thing, and they had good self-discipline in their studies anyway, so studying at home would not affect much. As for the other classes, if you let them go home, that basically meant they would not study at all…
The teachers and administrators were all people who had been through it. Did they really not know whether you would honestly study when sent home on break? Who the hell studies on vacation seriously, except for the unlucky ones dragged off to cram schools?
‘A break, huh. Where should I take Lu Brat to play?’
But for her, whether there was a break or not did not really make a difference. She did not attend classes in the first place… No longer in the mood to keep bickering with Xuenan, Yuki’s attention was completely on planning the vacation with his little girlfriend.
On the other side, the little Demon Lord, after buying the milk tea and returning to school, saw a girl under the sun near the teaching building, struggling to load her luggage onto a cargo handcart.
“Eh? Yueyue! What are you doing? Are you moving dorms?”
Her Majesty the Demon Lord hurried over to help. Seeing a girl carrying so many things, as a tough guy, she could not just stand by and watch.
“Huh? Lulu… thanks…”
After seeing who it was, Yunyue showed a grateful smile, but within that smile, there was also a hint of bitterness.
“I’m not moving dorms. I got expelled from the dorm by the school. I was just kicked out by the dorm auntie…”
