Demon King – Chapter 539 – Searching for Evidence

After settling Yueyue’s temporary living situation, the little Demon Lord hurried back to the dorm. When she walked in, she happened to run into Yuki, who had only been back for a short while himself.

“That’s how it is. Someone actually set Yueyue up. It pisses me off so much… Oh right, your milk tea.”

After emotionally telling Yuki everything that had happened to Yunyue earlier, Her Majesty the Demon Lord suddenly remembered that she was still holding an untouched cup of milk tea.

Not long ago, she had given her own portion to Yunyue, but Yuki’s cup had been kept the whole time. After being outside for so long, the drink inside had practically turned warm.

“It’s been sitting in the sun for a while. I’ll chill it for you first.”

Eiru held the milk tea with both hands. As a faint blue glow spread across her palms, the temperature of the drink instantly dropped.

“Your magic really is convenient…”

Taking the cup that felt like it had just come out of a freezer, Yuki could not help but marvel at the abilities of that certain girl.

“So what are you planning to do? Go help Yunyue demand an explanation? You’re already a well-known troublemaker yourself. Besides, do you even have a clue who did it?”

Yuki knew about Yunyue’s situation too. She always kept to herself and never provoked anyone, but unfortunately her reputation and popularity on campus were genuinely terrible. Anyone could have pulled some kind of prank or taken revenge on her behind her back.

Honestly, Yuki could not figure it out either. Yunyue was such a good girl, and her personality was actually well suited for making friends. How had her life ended up like this?

“I do! I’m telling you, a few days ago Xuenan and Yueyue had a fight! I think there’s a good chance it was her!”

That tense, sword-drawn atmosphere between the two of them back then was something the Demon Lord remembered very clearly. Naturally, Xuenan became the prime suspect in this incident.

Yuki shook his head. If Xuenan really was the kind of calculating person who was good at putting on an act, then even if they were sure it was her, without direct evidence there was no way they would be able to get anything out of her mouth.

“As long as we know the time and place of the incident, it’s fine. A Demon Lord’s methods aren’t something ordinary people could ever think of!”

The little Demon Lord braced one hand against the other and struck a pose like she was about to throw hands. But a stance that would look threatening and powerful on a guy only made her look stupidly cute instead.

“Anyway, once I get the evidence, remember to contact Su Qianmeng and Su Qianchen, okay? Have them help pass it along.”

“Why don’t you give it to them yourself? And wouldn’t it be fine if I just handed it straight to the school…”

Yuki sounded a bit reluctant. He had been feeling lazy lately, and to be honest, he did not really want to interact with other girls that much.

“That won’t work. I’m not that familiar with those two, right? And if you hand it to the school yourself, it’s basically you standing up for her directly. The school will suspect you and Yueyue are dating.”

“At times like this you sure think things through. When are you going to think this carefully about your own problems?”

Yuki laughed and poked his little girlfriend on the head.

“And ‘not familiar’ or whatever, the two sisters would be hurt if they heard that.”

“But we really… aren’t that familiar… I mean, they came to help me celebrate my birthday, so I do treat them as friends. But actually talking and stuff, I still get scared…”

The Demon Lord covered her forehead, looking a bit wronged. They had only met a few times. Where did “familiar” even come from?

“Alright, alright, I’ll handle it then. But how are you going to get the evidence?”

“Hehe. You don’t need to worry about that. A tough guy has his own ways!”

——The Demon Lord set off on her investigation——

“Fifth floor, room thirteen…”

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was in class, a silver-haired girl muttered to herself and snuck into the school’s girls’ dormitory.

Obviously, she could have walked in openly and legitimately, but maybe this dumb girl had watched too many movies. With how deeply she was getting into character and sneaking around, anyone who did not know better would think she was some kid who had snuck out from home and was hiding from adults.

Of course, she was also using invisibility. So why was Eiru still going out of her way to dodge and hide everywhere? Only she herself knew the answer to that.

“Found it. 0513, Yueyue’s dorm… There shouldn’t be anyone inside.”

After wandering around outside the door for a bit and confirming the location, the little Demon Lord spread her wings and flew along the corridor to the outside of the dorm building, planning to sneak in from the balcony. Even if she had a key, she would not honestly go through the front door, let alone now that she did not.

“I’m not a pervert, not a thief, no offense meant, no offense meant…”

After entering the dorm from the balcony, Her Majesty the Demon Lord clasped her hands together and muttered to herself nonstop. After all, her heart was still that of a boy. Anyone who said they would not be nervous entering a girls’ dorm was lying.

The girls’ dorm was actually pretty ordinary, nothing like that so-called princess atmosphere people imagined. If it were not for the presence of some items that guys would never use, Eiru might have suspected she had gone into the wrong dorm for a moment.

“Focus on business, focus on business. Finish it and get out fast…”

Fluttering her wings, the little Demon Lord floated up and held her phone, which had the recording function turned on, searching for a suitable filming angle.

Once she found the right position, Her Majesty the Demon Lord began to activate the magic within her body. The ring-like patterns on her tail lit up as her magic flowed, and the scene inside the room suddenly began to change.

“The time should be…”

Based on what she had asked Yunyue earlier, Eiru calculated in her head and invoked the authority known as “time”.

Honestly, this thing was basically a cheat. Anything that had to do with time could almost always be done with it. It was absurd. Just like now, through that authority, the Demon Lord directly reproduced a scene from the past.

Of course, this was not some kind of time travel ability. It was just a replay. But since the goal was to record what happened back then as evidence, this level was more than enough.

Only Yunyue was in the dorm. The other three girls were nowhere to be seen. After waiting for quite a while, Yunyue seemed to be getting ready to shower. She opened the wardrobe, took out a few pieces of clothing, and went to the balcony.

At the exact moment the sound of running water came from the bathroom, the dorm door was unlocked with a key. Two girls walked in, chatting and laughing. The Demon Lord did not recognize either of them. But the person following behind those two, she definitely recognized.

After noticing that Yunyue was taking a shower, Xuenan walked over to the two girls and whispered something to them in a sneaky manner. The three girls burst into laughter, as if they had reached some kind of agreement.

The two girls went back to their own beds. Xuenan glanced at Yunyue’s wardrobe, and after confirming it was not locked, took out a delicate little… cage from her bag.

Looking at the lively little thing inside, crawling all over the place, Eiru could already guess that this was the culprit that had forced Yunyue to move out.

Finding a hidden spot, Xuenan carefully placed the cage into Yunyue’s wardrobe. She then quickly returned to her seat, picked up a book, and started chatting nonsense with the other two girls.

“Isn’t she afraid of mice? Isn’t this going a bit too far?”

“It’s just a prank. Scare her a little. Nothing bad will happen anyway. It was Xuenan’s idea. We’re just here to watch.”

“Just imagine how flustered she’ll look. It’ll definitely be super funny. She’s usually kind of lifeless anyway. This is just to liven her up.”

The three girls discussed it off and on. After a while, Yunyue finished her shower. When the bathroom door opened, they quickly turned their heads away, putting on expressions like nothing was wrong.
