Demon King – Chapter 544 – The Place Where It Began Is Also Where It Ends

Just as Yuki had expected, Jixian, who ran off to confront Gao Xuenan and demand an explanation, came back in a completely dazed state.

“What happened? What’s going on here?”

Ziyu hurried to ask the little girl who had followed back right behind him. He had heard the general situation already, but Jixian looking like this really did scare him.

Because they were worried something might go wrong, everyone had kept it from Jixian and arranged for a certain Demon Lord who could turn invisible to follow behind him at all times. So if something happened, naturally they had to ask Eiru.

“Don’t even mention it. Those hotheaded guys already called Xuenan to demand an explanation, so before Aunt Mu even went over, she already knew exactly what he was going to do.”

Knowing that this whole pile of wallets was basically unusable now, Gao Xuenan relied on her slick way with words to trick out exactly which people had gone to Jixian’s dorm that day. After learning that there was still one person who knew nothing and had not gone along, she decisively abandoned the others and focused entirely on locking down that one.

Even though she could not figure out how she had been exposed, she did not have time to care about that now. The important thing was to stop the bleeding. So when faced with the aggressive Jixian, Xuenan had already made her preparations in advance.

What Jixian saw when he arrived was Xuenan intimately holding onto another boy’s arm. And in response to his questioning, she threw out an explosive piece of information.

‘Didn’t you ask me for an answer before? I’ve thought it through. I want to be with the boy next to me. You’re a good person, and I hope you can find someone suitable for yourself.’

That’s right. In order to cut her losses in time, Xuenan confirmed a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with the last remaining boy at lightning speed. With this lethal move, she dispelled all of his doubts, kept him hooked, and at the same time made her stance clear, stuffing all the things Jixian wanted to say right back into his mouth.

With things having reached this point, Jixian, who had still been thinking about whether there might be some way to salvage things, was completely dead inside. More than ten years of pursuit, ending in this kind of result. He did not even know how he made it back to the dorm.

The others in the dorm wanted to take him out to get some air, but Jixian proposed an unexpected idea. He wanted to drink, to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

At this point, no one felt right stopping him, so the group could only be dragged by him to the river embankment. Maybe he wanted to end everything at the place where he had met her? Jixian found himself inexplicably wanting to come here and take a look.

Watching him sit there, can after can, drinking nonstop, the roommates looked at each other, not knowing what to do. All they could do was offer advice that was basically useless, telling him one after another to try to think things through.

“What’s wrong with him?”

Yuki, Jiaqi, and Ziyu were all gathered around trying to persuade him, when the little Demon Lord, who had run out to help throw away some trash, was rubbing her head in frustration. The sudden voice at her ear almost scared her soul out of her body.

“Little Ru! Don’t scare people like that! And it’s so late at night, why aren’t you home? Why are you still hanging around here?”

“Ah, sorry, sorry. You were all gathered there so I felt awkward going over. I saw you come out so I figured I’d ask.”

Liru pressed her hands together apologetically, but her curious gaze never left the group of boys.

“Long story short, he got dumped…”

Considering the other girl was only nine, Eiru had no idea how to explain something this complicated to her. After holding it in for a long time, that was all she could squeeze out.

“The girl from last time? That makes sense. I didn’t see any pink on that girl back then… but it took this long to break up?”

Liru nodded, then said something baffling again.

“To be honest, they were never even together…”

The little Demon Lord shrugged.

“I originally wanted to go help too, but Stupid Yuki said this was a guy’s business and it wouldn’t be appropriate for me, a girl, to get involved, so he chased me out.”

“Pfft pfft, then that boy really likes you. He’s covered head to toe in pink. Pfft pfft, it’s my first time seeing so much of it.”

‘What are you even talking about? Stupid Yuki, pink? Do you think he’s a Barbie doll or Hello Kitty or something…’

Glancing at Yuki’s all black outfit, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was completely baffled.

“I don’t really get it, but I guess it’s a good thing, since that girl never liked him from the start, right?”

“Alright, alright, enough of that. It’s this late and you’re still hanging around instead of going home. Are you trying to get your butt blooming? I’m telling you, when I was your age, if I was still outside at this hour, what awaited me was rattan stewed meat.”

“Emmmmm… I’m waiting for someone?”

Liru tapped her finger against her lips, tilted her head, and gave that answer.

“I feel like I can wait for him today, so I stayed a bit later. Normally I wouldn’t stay out this late.”

“Waiting for who?”

“I don’t know. I don’t know his name either… but I think I’ll be able to recognize him?”

“Uh… then good luck?”

Kids being all mystical like this was nothing unusual. After a moment of speechlessness, Eiru ran back over to Yuki’s side to see how things were going.

“Hm? What are you all doing here?”

Just as the little Demon Lord rejoined the group, a voice familiar to everyone present drew their attention.

“Huh? Yueyue? What are you doing here? Aunt Mu is self-destructing, we’re trying to talk him out of it.”

“I’m not self-destructing, it’s just… my heart hurts… hic…”

Jixian, still somewhat conscious, heard the little girl’s words and immediately protested, then picked up another can of beer and prepared to pour it into his mouth.

“I heard about him going to confront Gao Xuenan today, and I was a bit worried… You told me their story before, so I guessed Jixian would come here.”

Yunyue spoke as she reached out and pressed down on the beer can in Jixian’s hand.

She owed Jixian a favor, so coming over to check on him was only right. And if he really ended up thinking of doing something extreme, she might be able to stop him? With that in mind, she had run over here as well.

Looking at the clumsy way a bunch of grown men were handling things, Yunyue felt she had definitely come to the right place. She waved her hand and chased the obstructive guys a short distance away, then sat down, gently supporting the drunk Jixian and placing his head on her lap.

“Yueyue is really good at taking care of people…”

Seeing this, Her Majesty the Demon Lord sighed with feeling. Then Liru’s voice sounded by her ear again.

“Who’s that girl? His new girlfriend? Didn’t you say he just broke up?”

Liru’s tone sounded a bit unhappy. Looking at Jixian resting on Yunyue’s thighs, her expression was completely that of someone looking at a scumbag.

“No, just friends. They’ve helped each other before… Aren’t you able to see pink and all that? Just take a look and you’ll know.”

Eiru teased Liru with a grin, and at those words, the other girl’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

“That’s true. It looks like they’re just ordinary friends for now…”

As she spoke, Liru reached out and poked Eiru in the waist.

“Then… what’s his name? Can you tell me?”

Translator Note

“Ordinary friends for now.”

Heh, heh~ I don’t need to read a lot of romance story to guess the plot~ *feels proud

But… When is my turn? Hic, hic…
