Demon King – Chapter 540 – Cleared at Last

Seeing her roommates acting like that, Yunyue did not pay it much attention. Since Xuenan had hidden the cage in an inconspicuous corner, and she did not check carefully, she naturally failed to notice it.

After simply tidying up the wardrobe, Yunyue climbed onto her bed, scrolling through her phone while waiting for her hair to dry, clearly getting ready to sleep.

Watching this scene, the little Demon Lord felt conflicted for a moment.

‘So it really was just a prank? But if it was just a prank, why did they not come out and explain it? If they had, the three of them would at most have gotten criticized. Why did it have to escalate to the point where Yunyue got kicked out of the dorm?’

But everything that needed to be recorded had already been recorded. Just as Eiru was about to cancel her ability and leave, she accidentally glanced at something on Xuenan’s phone.

Anonymous report letter. Girls’ dorm room 0513. Someone is secretly keeping a pet in the dorm behind the backs of the other roommates. Requesting strict handling.

Seeing the content on the other girl’s phone, Her Majesty the Demon Lord froze. She genuinely did not expect this person to be this calculating, using the cover of a prank to pull such a vicious move.

No wonder there was a sudden inspection. So it was because of a report? By turning the other two roommates into so-called prank accomplices, she could openly stuff it in there while also preventing anyone from stepping forward to speak up for Yunyue. Ruthless. Truly ruthless.

With a wave of her hand, she dismissed her ability, and the scene returned to normal once again. Originally, Eiru had been quite conflicted about how to deal with this supposedly harmless prank. Now she was no longer worried at all. This could be reported directly.

“I really misjudged you. I honestly wanted to treat you as a friend…”

Sighing as she looked at Xuenan’s seat, the Demon Lord spread her wings and left the dorm.

After leaving the girls’ dorm, the little Demon Lord was still drifting around in the sky when she immediately sent the recorded video to Yuki. And in keeping with the principle that the person involved also had the right to know, she planned to send a copy to Yunyue later as well. Yunyue was in class right now, and sending it over would not only be a distraction, she would not have time to watch it anyway.

Remember to send it to Qianmeng and Qianchen. They know about Yueyue getting kicked out of the dorm and are pretty anxious right now. After sending this message to Yuki and seeing the OK reply on the other end, Her Majesty the Demon Lord finally relaxed, thinking that this matter was basically coming to an end.

After school in the afternoon, she came to the apartment that Jixian had lent to Yunyue to stay in temporarily. Eiru had originally planned to check on whether Yunyue was getting used to living there, but after arriving, her attention immediately went off in a completely different direction.

“Holy shit, did his old man set this up as a marital home for him? Two bedrooms, a living room, a study, plus a storage room? What is this, rushing him to get married?”

Did not Aunt Mu say this was something his dad threw together temporarily because he was worried Jixian would not get used to living in the dorm? Mine is just a one-bedroom, one-living-room place. Yours is this. Is this what having money in the family looks like?

Of course, since it had not been taken care of for quite a while, a lot of the tidying had actually been done by Yunyue herself.

While a certain girl was running around the apartment screaming nonsense, Yunyue was sitting on the edge of the bed watching the video she had sent, her expression extremely complicated.

There was no gloom she had imagined. On Yunyue’s face there was only disappointment, unwillingness, and helplessness. Even though their relationship was not great, being set up like this by roommates she had lived with for a year still dealt her a heavy blow. At this point, though, there was nothing left to be angry about. All that remained was bitterness.

“Ah, don’t worry, Yueyue. I’ll help you get justice!”

Hearing Yunyue sigh, the little Demon Lord hurried over to comfort her.

“I’m fine, silly Lulu…”

Looking at how foolishly cute this girl was, Yunyue immediately felt a lot better. girls really were healing to the heart.

“But how are we going to talk to Jixian about this?”

Thinking about Jixian’s current relationship with Xuenan, and the fact that she was staying in his place, Yunyue felt the situation was a bit tricky.

“What are you afraid of? She was the one scheming in the first place, right? If you have done nothing wrong, you are not afraid of shadows. This is clearly her fault. What do you have to be scared of?”

“That’s not what I mean. You’re still young, you don’t understand these things…”

Yunyue smiled. What she was thinking about was far more complicated, and it was not something she could easily explain.

“I’m just a bit short. Why does everyone say I’m young? But instead of worrying about that, why not ask Teacher Qi Rong for help? She likes you quite a bit, right? If there’s a problem, she should help you.”

“No, let’s not trouble Sister Rong.”

Yunyue shook her head.

“She hasn’t been at Seventh High for long either, and she’s not familiar with her colleagues yet. I’m also one of the problem students at Seventh High. If she keeps helping me, I’m worried it’ll make it hard for her to get along with the other teachers or the administrators.”

That was why Yunyue had not even dared to tell Qi Rong about getting kicked out of the dorm. Given her personality, she would definitely rush over to demand an explanation and a thorough investigation. Making such a big fuss over a problem student was indeed not good for her future relationships with her colleagues.

“But you’re always thinking about other people. You should think about yourself more too. Don’t wrong yourself…”

“I’ll give that right back to you, silly Lulu. Your Yuki complains about this problem of yours to me all the time. And you still have the nerve to lecture others?”

—————

In the end, following his little girlfriend’s instructions, Yuki handed the recording over to Qianmeng and Qianchen. The two sisters then submitted the evidence to the school. Using their status as honor students, they managed to draw attention, and Yunyue was finally cleared of wrongdoing.

Although the punishment was revoked, Yunyue hesitated over whether to return to living in the dorm. She had not wanted to trouble Jixian any longer in the first place. Even though she had not stayed for long, it was still someone else’s place.

But Jixian persuaded her to stay and not go back to the dorm. After hearing that Yunyue had been set up by her roommates, he did not feel comfortable letting a girl go back to that dorm to face possible harm again. Not to mention that he himself felt guilty toward her.

However, Jixian did not know who Yunyue’s roommate was. The few people who knew all kept this information from him. Everyone agreed that now was not the time to let him know. His head was still overheated right now. It would be better to tell him everything at once when Xuenan’s true face was exposed.

Jixian explained the pros and cons to Yunyue. With roommates like that, going back could very well lead to further retaliation. Since there had been no dorm transfer yet, he suggested that she stay in his apartment for now and return to live on campus after the transfer application was approved.

“If you really feel bad about it, then help me take care of the place, cleaning and stuff…”

Jixian scratched his head, trying to give Yunyue a way out.

“See, this place can’t just be left untended all the time. And you happen to need somewhere to live. That’s a win-win, right?”

“Yeah, yeah. Yueyue, listen to Aunt Mu. If it’s too tiring, I can come over to help when I have time too!”

The Demon Lord also did not think sending Yunyue back to the dorm was a good choice, so she naturally stood on Jixian’s side.

“Then… I’ll trouble you for a bit longer.”

Unable to refuse such kindness, and also persuaded by their reasoning, Yunyue bowed deeply to Jixian.

“No need, no need. We’re all friends… Look at this little prin—”

Before he could finish speaking, the two of them turned their heads and saw that a certain girl had already been picked up.

“Hm? It’s fine, you two keep talking. I’m just taking my Lu Brat home.”

Yuki waved at them to indicate they did not need to mind, tucked that squirming girl under his arm, and strode off into the distance.

Translator Note

So, I guess Jixian and Xuenan will break up sooner or later, but then Jixian will be together with Yunyue.
