Demon King – Chapter 619 – Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s “Rehabilitation” Exercise

Without realizing it, afternoon had already arrived. Looking at the two cats lazily sprawled under the window taking their afternoon nap, the little Demon Lord suddenly felt a bit bored.

She limped over to the fridge, planning to grab a drink, only to find that the drink stock was already empty. Not only that, she also noticed there was not much food left inside the fridge either. She needed to think of a way to restock.

“I should still have some money…”

After thoroughly rummaging through her cabinet, aside from two large denomination bills, there was only a pile of loose change left.

Because she did not bring her phone with her and chose to leave it behind, this bit of cash in the cabinet was Eiru’s final little emergency fund. After counting it, although it was not much, there was still around two hundred yuan. It could hold out for a while at least.

“I’ll go buy some groceries then… I remember the supermarket and the wet market aren’t that far?”

Recalling the scene when Yuki brought her here, the little Demon Lord had paid attention to the surroundings back then and remembered that there was a supermarket and a market nearby.

The rain outside had already stopped for quite a while. Judging by the situation, it probably would not start raining again. Eiru tidied herself up, grabbed her crutch, and prepared to go out for a walk.

At this time, Yuki had not gotten out of school yet, and Eiru had no other way to contact him, so she could only personally go buy some groceries herself. And for things she could handle on her own, she did not really want to trouble others again.

She had not even left the hotel yet when she already attracted a lot of attention. A cute little girl like this was rare enough, and with bandages wrapped around her body and a crutch in hand, it was hard not to draw the attention and sympathy of passersby.

With so many eyes around, she could not use her wings or anything like that. She could only grit her teeth and slowly move along with the crutch. Walking was a bit difficult now, but at least she had a crutch. Compared to dragging a leg along by herself before, it was much easier.

“I should’ve asked Stupid Yuki for a wheelchair or something… tired and slow…”

It took several times longer than usual just to walk out of the hotel. Her Majesty the Demon Lord muttered complaints under her breath, though she was just venting. She did not have the thick skin to ask for something that expensive.

“Hello, little sister… do you need any help?”

A few reception staff at the hotel entrance noticed her. One of them politely stepped forward, intending to lend a hand.

“No need, I’m just going to the supermarket next door. I’ll be back soon, and I don’t have any luggage or anything.”

She waved her hand to refuse their kindness. They were hotel staff after all. There was no way the little Demon Lord would let them accompany her to the supermarket to buy groceries.

Watching the girl’s departing back, one of the receptionists suddenly made a gesture toward the front desk colleague. The other person understood and dialed a certain number, seemingly reporting something…

“Discount cabbage… nice luck.”

Putting the selected items into the cart, Her Majesty the Demon Lord realized her luck today was unexpectedly good.

Maybe because everyone was at work or school, and because the location was relatively out of the way? There were hardly any customers in the supermarket today, so she did not need to worry much about bumping into others.

And looking around, quite a few things in this supermarket were on sale today. With her rich experience in shopping, Eiru also paid attention and noticed that these discounted items were not about to expire.

“Running a promotion and still this empty. This supermarket is really in a remote spot…”

While complaining, Her Majesty the Demon Lord lightly pushed off with her crutch, pressing her whole body onto the shopping cart and sliding forward.

This way of moving was effortless, fast, and especially fun. Already quite childlike at heart, the little Demon Lord would almost always take the chance to do this a few times whenever she used a shopping cart.

And now there were almost no other customers in the supermarket, just a few scattered people. The aisles were clear, and the shelves were not densely packed or complicated. With such a perfect chance to race, how could Her Majesty the Demon Lord possibly miss it?

However, in the eyes of the other customers in the supermarket, Eiru’s actions were not fun at all. Seeing her so lively even with bandages wrapped around her, several people were genuinely sweating for her. If she slipped and fell, the scene would be unimaginable.

Getting a bit too carried away, during one glide, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was not careful and her body suddenly tilted. Both her and the cart shook violently. Fortunately, her reaction was fast enough and she grabbed on in time, successfully avoiding falling to the ground.

“Phew, scared me…”

Letting out a breath, just as Eiru was about to push the cart and keep going, she noticed a young man who was also shopping in the supermarket walking straight up to her.

“Little sister, how about I help you? To be honest, what you just did was really scary…”

The nearby customers had already seen their blood pressure and heart rate spike from that scene. This young man really could not hold back anymore and stepped forward to offer help.

“No need, no need, I’m fine here. You’ve got your own things to buy and stuff to do, right? I’m really fine here~”

She rejected another person’s kindness. In some aspects, Eiru was extremely competitive and did not want to cause trouble for others. But after she continued doing her blood pressure inducing cart gliding, two or three customers who should have had nothing to do with each other started talking among themselves.

“Should we notify Officer Li?”

“Hurry up. My heart’s in my throat watching this… way too scary.”

“Before she actually falls, hurry and get Officer Li over here to scold her.”

So five minutes later, Officer Li, who rushed over after hearing the news, also saw this blood pressure maxing scene involving a certain girl. She had not even noticed his arrival. Eiru had completely forgotten her original purpose and was happily gliding the cart back and forth.

“Eiru!”

Rushing forward and grabbing the cart handle, Officer Li could not stay calm anymore. You can barely walk right now, can you have some self awareness?

“Unc… unc…… uncle? Why are you here?”

Like a child caught pulling a prank, seeing Officer Li’s stern face, the little Demon Lord was so scared she could barely speak.

“That’s what I should be asking you. Why aren’t you resting properly over there? What are you doing running out here? And playing with a supermarket cart at that. Do you not know what condition your body is in right now?”

“I I I… I… rehabilitation? Yeah. Rehabilitation exercise! And buying some groceries on the side!”

The moment she said it, even Eiru herself felt like her brain had short circuited. What kind of absurd excuse was this? Who would believe that playing with a supermarket cart was rehabilitation?

Officer Li was not stupid. He obviously did not believe this ridiculously clumsy excuse. But he did not plan to pursue it further. As long as she was not hurt, that was fine. He just needed to take her back quickly.

He already quite liked this lively little girl. Plus, with the relationship of his old friend’s daughter, Officer Li had always been very caring and tolerant toward Eiru.

On top of that, with certain things and regrets from his own childhood, and feeling sorry for the girl’s situation, Officer Li could already be said to have treated this sensible girl as his own daughter…

“If you don’t behave and go back right now, I’ll tell Yuki about this… I might not be able to control you, but you know better than me what will happen if he finds out you snuck out.”

Officer Li was not very good at, or perhaps could not bring himself to, disciplining a naughty loli like Eiru. But did he not have a son whose skill points in this area were maxed out? If he could not deal with her himself, letting his son handle it would do just fine…
