Demon King – Chapter 569 – The Demon Lord Does Not Want to Go Out

The next morning, the little Demon Lord who had returned to the villa was immediately interrogated by her parents. Finding her missing early in the morning had clearly put both of them in a bad mood.

“Where did you run off to? You were gone first thing in the morning… or did you sneak out through the window again last night?”

When it came to this, Eiru was a repeat offender. Before moving house, she had done plenty of late-night window escapes. So compared to going out early in the morning, the two of them were more inclined to believe she had slipped out again in the middle of the night.

Eiru did not answer, only shaking the bag of buns in her hand at them. She knew she was bad at lying, so she might as well muddle through and guide things this way.

Ei Yuan and Liu Wan indeed took the bait, thinking their son had simply gone out early to buy breakfast. Their frowns immediately relaxed. Only Eiya beside them, yawning, avoided eye contact. Knowing the truth, she could not be bothered to expose anything.

“What’s the plan for today? Also, we’re going back tomorrow, right?”

Taking a look at Eiya leaning on her shoulder and trying to fall back asleep, Her Majesty the Demon Lord gnawed on a bun and asked about today’s schedule.

“Originally, if we went to the amusement park yesterday, today we’d go to the hot springs or the zoo… but since we went to the zoo yesterday, today should be one of the other two.”

Ei Yuan answered uncertainly. After all, he was not the one who arranged the itinerary. He only knew the rough outline.

“Good thing we listened to you and went to the zoo yesterday. I heard that zoo is closed today. No idea what’s going on.”

Checking the messages on her phone, Liu Wan sighed a little.

Two fierce beasts escaped. How could they not suspend operations for rectification? This time nothing happened. Next time they might not be so lucky. Hearing the conversation, Eiya thought this to herself and rubbed her small head against her brother’s shoulder again.

“Brother you’re really skinny. Your bones are poking me and it hurts a bit…”

“If you don’t like it then lie on the table. I’m letting you lean on me and you still have so many demands…”

Eiru rolled her eyes at her sister, wondering if this little brat was acting up with princess syndrome again.

“No. I’m leaning on you… it’s cool…”

‘Cool my ass. In my male state I have a normal body temperature, alright? Please think before you speak. Oh right, you’re not awake yet. Then yeah, you don’t have a brain right now.’

Complaining inwardly, Her Majesty the Demon Lord planned to negotiate with her parents. She was not interested in either the hot springs or the amusement park. She wanted to apply to just laze around in the villa today and maybe hang out with Yuki or something.

“You don’t want to go? What’s your reason?”

Hearing her son’s request, the two of them frowned in unison. With so many people coming out together as a family, saying you are not going out just like that seemed a bit inappropriate.

Especially Liu Wan. Hearing this, she originally wanted to scold and lecture her “inconsiderate” son. But with other relatives present, considering Eiru’s face and everyone else’s face, she did not directly discipline him.

“Went too wild yesterday. Kind of tired… so I’m asking to rest today.”

Hands clasped together in a pleading gesture, even Eiru herself knew this excuse was very flimsy.

“Then today we’ll go soak in the hot springs. That’s good for relaxing too…”

“Forget it, auntie. Just let Little Lu rest here for a bit. I think she finds living in a villa novel and wants to experience it more, you know.”

Before Liu Wan could finish, Lin Miao suddenly stepped in with a smile to help.

He also knew that Eiru was afraid of water. A hot spring place was not as big as a zoo or an amusement park. If everyone really went there together, he was quite worried this kid would end up exposing herself.

“And the little ones seem to want to go to the amusement park more. Hot springs and all that, I think for them it’s just playing in water anyway.”

Pointing at the rowdy kids in the living room, Lin Miao also persuaded from another angle.

This counted as double insurance. If they really did not agree to let Eiru stay alone, the amusement park was relatively better. For his little cousin, Lin Miao was truly worrying himself sick.

“Alright then. But Little Lu, you really aren’t going to accompany your sister? She was really looking forward to coming out to play with you…”

Barely agreeing to Lin Miao’s proposal, Liu Wan still tried to persuade Eiru, even bringing out Eiya as her trump card.

“Zzzzzz…”

Looking at Eiya already asleep on Eiru’s shoulder, everyone fell silent. Liu Wan’s trump card instantly collapsed, and it was no longer appropriate to force the issue.

“Fine then. Little Miao, sorry to trouble you to stay here and keep Little Lu and Little Ya company. When Little Ya wakes up, take her wherever she wants to go play.”

In the end, today’s group split into three. One group went to the hot springs to soak and relax. One group took the kids to the amusement park. And Lin Miao, Eiru, and Eiya stayed behind at the villa to rest, planning to decide again after Eiya woke up.

After everyone else left, looking at her sister sleeping soundly on the sofa and her cousin watching TV not far away, the little Demon Lord had some thoughts of her own.

‘Wait no, how am I supposed to find Stupid Yuki like this? With big Brother here, I can’t call him over. If I go out, big Brother will definitely follow me. No, I need to think of a way to have Little Ya hold him back, but she’s sleeping. What do I do?!’

“You’re really planning to just stay here today?”

While Her Majesty the Demon Lord was still tangled up in her thoughts, Lin Miao suddenly spoke to her.

“You came out on a trip. You’re not actually planning to stay in this villa all day, are you? You used to love sneaking out to play… running off to play with Hui Jiaqi, right?”

“That was before. This is now… people get old. Don’t really like moving around anymore. I’m past that age.”

Sprawled on the sofa like a salted fish, the silver-haired girl made a statement completely inappropriate for her age.

“You little brat who hasn’t even grown all your hair yet, old my ass. Look in the mirror. You’re clearly getting younger the longer you live… you’ve even shrunk.”

Lin Miao pinched the back of his cousin’s neck, his expression half laughing, half exasperated.

“But seriously, you’re still young now. You’ve got plenty of time. I suggest you go out more, make more friends, Brotheraden your horizons. Like your brother here, once you start working, it’s really hard to find time and chances to go out anymore.”

“But I’m lazy～ I used to have a lot of energy. Now I really feel like my stamina isn’t great. I get tired after messing around for a bit. Even if I want to have fun, I can’t.”

Complaining about her current physical condition, the little Demon Lord indicated that she still had a pile of lingering issues from before.

Not even talking about stamina and mental problems, just this pile of physical issues was troublesome enough. Even the bones in her wings were not fully set straight yet. They were still crooked, alright? If she could slack off, of course she would slack off. Where would she get so much energy?

Of course, if it was Yuki dragging her out, she did not really mind these things. Not that he was special or anything, but going out to play with Yuki was genuinely relaxing. It did not make her tense or mentally exhausted like being with other people.

So later she should let Brother Miao take Little Ya out, then call Stupid Yuki over and have the two of them play together? Though she forgot to ask yesterday whether he brought his game console. Otherwise they could even link up and play together…
