Demon King – Chapter 557 – A Soul Piercing Interrogation from Big Brother

Around dinner time, Her Majesty the Demon Lord finally crawled out of bed. If she kept sleeping, she really would not need to sleep at night anymore, and then tomorrow she would not be able to get up again.

This was not home or school. She did not dare keep fooling around. Rubbing her rumbling little belly, the little Demon Lord puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

“Eating only replenishes magic power. Logically I should not be hungry… what the hell are you yelling for.”

Like a child, she took it out on her own stomach, but hungry was hungry. It was her own belly, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Jumping off the bed, Eiru looked around and confirmed nothing seemed off, then tiptoed to the door and quietly checked the situation outside.

‘Emmmmm, no one there. Great. They must have gone out to play. Missing the activity and staying here alone, that was a huge win, right?’

She had not even been happy for a few minutes when she heard children playing noisily downstairs. Someone who had always feared bratty kids immediately shuddered hard.

“Damn human larvae.”

Letting out a meaningless roar, Eiru reluctantly switched back into her male state, opened the door, and slowly went downstairs.

“Awake? Hurry over and eat some barbecue. We saved quite a bit for you.”

Maybe because everyone was lively and happy together, that pair of magical parents were in a pretty good mood today. Seeing their son come down, they warmly called her over.

“Barbecue. So that was the activity they mentioned…”

Casually glancing around, Eiru suddenly noticed her little sister happily cooking together with several kids at a grill.

“Wait a second. There is not anything grilled by Little Ya in here, right?”

Seeing that silver-haired loli’s excited expression, there was a real chance some dark cuisine had already slipped in unnoticed.

“What kind of thing is that to say. Your sister is not grilling poison or anything.”

While speaking, Ei Yuan turned his head to glance at his daughter and saw her fully immersed in what she was doing. He then bent down toward Eiru and lowered his voice.

“Everything she grilled is piled over there. No one dares eat it. Later your mom and the others will see if they can throw them back on the grill and try to salvage them.”

Ei Yuan pointed at a certain plate on a nearby table. Looks like no one dared volunteer as a taste tester for Eiya’s creations after all.

“Then why let her grill at all… did you forget her banlangen beef stew?”

“Everyone’s eating barbecue together, the atmosphere is there. We cannot really forbid her from touching it…”

Feeling a bit speechless at her father’s answer, Eiru did not bother to complain further. She sat down and obediently ate barbecue. By the time she finished, it was already completely dark.

Several kids were running around inside the house. Several adults gathered around the table chatting about family matters. Her Majesty the Demon Lord casually found a seat on the sofa in the villa living room, planning to rest for a bit and enjoy this rare moment of peace.

Chatting with family was absolutely not happening. Not only could she not fit into the topics, forcing herself in would be awkward and would basically result in being ignored in various ways. So even if there was a lively loli living inside her heart, the Demon Lord would rather act like a withdrawn kid in front of them.

“Lu Brat, now that things have settled down, your big brother wants to ask how you have been lately.”

Lin Miao suddenly sat down beside Eiru. One hand habitually moved to hook around her neck, but he suddenly realized something and awkwardly pulled his hand back from midair.

“Honestly, I don’t mind. You are my brother after all.”

Watching Lin Miao’s confused movements, the little Demon Lord twitched at the corner of her mouth. She did not think brothers slinging arms over shoulders was anything strange.

“You are a girl now. It is better if I respect you a bit.”

Lin Miao sounded somewhat helpless. Still calling yourselves brothers. Have you looked at whether you still have that thing.

“What is the big deal. Little Ya and I used to sling arms around too. Did you not as well?”

“That is different… tch. Forget it, I cannot explain it clearly to you. Just know this. You have to keep some distance from boys. Even if it is me, your brother, it is the same. Got it?”

After thinking for a moment, he gave up on explaining and directly lectured her as her older brother.

“So how have you been lately? Is your allowance enough? If you are short on money, your brother can give you some. You can buy a few clothes to wear too. I heard from Little Ya that you often borrow her clothes.”

Getting back on topic, Lin Miao patted Eiru on the back and started checking in on the recent situation of this new sister of his.

“It is actually fine. I would not say I have no clothes to wear. It was a bit like that before, but not anymore.”

There was nothing she could do. Little Ya was a little rich girl. It was not that she had no clothes, but looking at that pile of lolita outfits and all kinds of pretty skirts made her jealous, so she just wanted to borrow them to wear.

Before, Yuki had also bought her a bunch of clothes. With his timely relief, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was not really lacking clothes for her loli body. So she smiled and politely declined her brother’s support.

“As long as you are doing okay. Your brother is just afraid you might be wronged outside.”

Reaching out to rub Eiru’s head, thinking about all the hardships and prejudice this kid had endured, Lin Miao’s voice carried some heartache.

“But if you run into difficulties, you must tell me. If I can help, I definitely will. You are often not sensible enough. Your brother is really afraid you might get tricked outside. Do not casually rely on help from others, especially boys.”

Of course, Lin Miao did not know that this tender little cabbage had already been plucked. While he was explaining these principles, the plucked cabbage in front of him had no awareness of being plucked at all.

“Some boys just want to use favors as an excuse to get close to you. When you were a boy before, there was no need to worry about this. Now you must pay attention. Understand. Keep a certain distance from boys outside. Everyone is the same.”

“Oh.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord replied somewhat perfunctorily.

‘I am a macho man. Why would I be scared of this stuff. Do not underestimate me.’

“Speaking of which, you did not actually get a boyfriend outside, did you? Oh right, you usually do not show your real appearance either. Then you cannot date girls either. Getting out of being single is pretty hard for you.”

After finishing his lecture, perhaps trying to lighten the mood, Lin Miao suddenly made this joke.

But as he laughed, he suddenly noticed Eiru’s gaze flickering.

‘Hearing that joke just now, why did this silly kid suddenly seem to avoid his eyes and look flustered?’

Thinking of a not so good possibility, Lin Miao’s smile froze. After taking a moment to carefully choose his words, he spoke somewhat stiffly.

“Lu Brat… you… could it be… you really are dating someone outside?”
