Demon King – Chapter 579 – Opening Your Heart Does Not Always Let Honey In

After a few days, once the renovation of the teaching building was finished, everyone who had been enjoying their break had to return to campus, some with happy faces, some with gloomy ones.

During the noon break, the little Demon Lord sat on a chair, holding up a little guy’s front paw, happily playing with it.

“You seem to be in a pretty good mood after going home this time?”

Yuki spotted the change in a certain loli’s state at a glance. It was like she had run into something good. Even her overall vibe felt different.

Of course it was. Even though her mother hadn’t said much, this was the first time in her sixteen years of life that she had actually felt care coming from her family.

As if to make it up to her, Ei Yuan had bought her plenty of things and fussed over her quite a bit during those few days back home. Maybe it was also because work hadn’t been that busy lately, and Eiya was either in class or asleep, so he finally had the time to care about Eiru.

Whatever the reason, Eiru really had been in a good mood these past few days, and it showed. At least now, as long as Liu Wan wasn’t around, she wasn’t as lifeless at home when facing her dad as she used to be.

“So this is the cat your dad gave you?”

Yuki curiously sized up the little kitten in Eiru’s hands. He hadn’t expected his little girlfriend to actually get permission from her family to raise a pet. He himself hadn’t even managed that.

“Yup. A friend of my dad’s had a tabby that gave birth to a few kittens, so my dad secretly brought one for me without telling my mom. Look, it’s super cute.”

As she spoke, the Demon Lord lifted the little tabby toward Yuki.

“Nya~”

It seemed to have been born not long ago. The little tabby could only make soft, broken baby sounds, but that tiny milk voice instantly melted all the grown men in the dorm.

Gulu lay in a corner of the dorm, watching this loving scene, his big cat face immediately drooping. Feeling aggrieved, he suddenly felt like he had fallen out of favor.

Originally, by agreement, Eiru was not allowed to bring the cat into the dorm. But since she lived in the dorm anyway, and considering the previous incident where she had been kidnapped by traffickers, Ei Yuan didn’t really dare let his son hang around off campus either. In the end, he loosened up and tacitly allowed her to bring the cat into the dorm.

Of course, something that was basically challenging school regulations was not something he could openly support as a father. All he could say was that the kid needed to be careful, and if she got caught, he wouldn’t be responsible.

That was what he said, but in reality, he had already given maximum support behind the scenes for his son raising a cat. Cat food, canned food, litter boxes, water dispensers, all of it had been prepared for her.

“He even had people install all kinds of cat climbing frames at my place, plus a bunch of stuff I almost couldn’t understand. People with experience really are different. He really knows his stuff.”

“That’s so nice, I’m jealous…”

Yuki never thought he’d live to see the day he’d be jealous of his little girlfriend’s family. At his place, those two would pet the cat while forbidding him from raising one. He was honestly at a loss.

While the two were talking, Ziyu seized the chance to come over and tried to reach out to rub the kitten, but the Demon Lord guarded it tightly and refused to let him touch it.

“Don’t be so stingy, let me pet it.”

“No. It’s still little, it can’t just be touched by anyone.”

“So what’s its name? Did you name it yet? Don’t tell me it’s another Hulu or Gulu. Every time I call them together, my tongue almost ties itself.”

Jixian’s comment was met with agreement from everyone in the dorm. A certain girl’s naming sense was really… hard to praise.

“I named it already. It’s called Mango.”

She stretched out a finger toward the little tabby’s mouth, and it very cooperatively wrapped its mouth around its owner’s finger.

Why didn’t she name it based on its cry this time? Everyone complained silently in their hearts. They had thought that the unused names would finally get some use. They were even wondering if the cat would end up being called Goo yi.

“By the way, how’s your sister doing? You said she’s been extremely sleepy lately. Is something wrong?”

The Demon Lord froze for a moment. It wasn’t that she found the question strange. The problem was that the person asking it didn’t quite match who she had expected.

“Wait, why are you so concerned about someone else’s sister? Even Brother Yuki hasn’t shown concern for his sister-in-law yet. Why are you asking first?”

Jixian laughed as he patted Ziyu, who had asked the question. The childhood friend and the boyfriend hadn’t even asked yet. Why were you jumping the gun?

Jiaqi and Yuki also cast subtle looks at Ziyu. Especially Yuki. His hand had already gone into the drawer, feeling around for something.

“You have to understand, every girl could be my future wife. And the little princess is so cute. Her sister must totally be my type too. I need to act fast… wait, I’m joking. Brother Yuki, put that thing away!”

When Ziyu saw Yuki pull out two shiny limited edition handcuffs, he panicked immediately.

“And why would you even have that kind of thing in a dorm room?”

“Oh, those are probably meant for me to wear.”

The Demon Lord calmly took the two things from his hand and bent them a bit. Sure enough, they were soft.

“You two really play wild…”

Jixian no longer knew what to complain about. He could only marvel at how terrifying high school students were these days.

“Little Ya’s fine. Before coming back to school, I gave her another thorough check.”

Shaking the handcuffs in her hand, the little Demon Lord shot Yuki a look. Understanding immediately, he obediently went to stand facing the wall.

Watching this bizarre scene, the others all had the same feeling. It looked exactly like a husband being caught by his wife. Looking at Yuki standing there like he was reflecting on his mistakes, then looking at the loli sitting there with her legs crossed and a boss-like air, the grown men all swallowed unconsciously.

Eiya was still very sleepy, but it really hadn’t affected her daily life that much. Classes were fine. It just affected meal times a bit, because she usually came back and went straight to sleep, only waking up two or three hours after everyone else had finished eating.

Her dear parents were naturally worried about this too, but after hospital checks showed nothing and both kids repeatedly insisted there was no problem, they could only put the matter aside for now.

As mentioned earlier, because he finally had the time and opportunity, the Demon Lord’s father finally looked like a father, giving his child a certain degree of warmth. It slightly melted and touched her already half-sealed sensitive heart.

It wasn’t that she had forgiven him, but at least Eiru was now willing to chat and talk with her dad. Compared to that cold, rejecting attitude from before, she at least acted more like a child much of the time.

Though having been a loli for so long, she sometimes failed to hide her behavioral habits, which made her dad suspicious. It even made him want to complain a bit about why his grown son sometimes acted like a little girl.

But considering that kids always liked to act spoiled in front of their parents, Eiru’s behavior, even if it wasn’t really acting spoiled, still seemed normal. So he didn’t think too much of it. He would still occasionally teach her to have a bit more manly spirit and the like.
