Demon King – Chapter 630 – What Belongs to Herself

Hearing Eiru say that, Ei Yuan and Liu Wan both panicked. To them now, anything else could be discussed, but this child absolutely could not be lost.

“Little Lu, Dad and Mom really know we were wrong, we know we’re sorry to you… so can you give Dad and Mom a chance to make it up to you, okay? Look at these injuries of yours, someone has to take care of you. Let Dad and Mom help you find a doctor or something, alright?”

“No need, no need. You really have the nerve to talk about these injuries? I don’t even know who was the one that hit so hard…”

The little Demon Lord yawned.

“There’s nothing to make up for. I can take care of myself. No need for the two of you to take time out of your busy schedules to look after a useless person like me.”

The moment they heard this, the two of them became so anxious their hearts were about to jump out. They almost wanted to kneel down in front of the child and beg her to come back. They had already heard about Eiru’s future plans earlier. Letting her go alone to Qionglong City? What kind of joke was that?

Even though this child had been living outside for so long and her ability to take care of herself was far stronger than her peers, at the very least she had been within Huanghai City, with neighbors and landlords they had entrusted to keep an eye on her… If she really ran off alone to another city, how could the two of them not be scared to death?

“I’ll say a few words to her…”

Seeing that communication within this family was not going smoothly, Officer Li, who had been observing the situation, spoke up.

“So… Uncle, you also want to persuade me? To go back with them?”

Looking at Officer Li squatting down in front of her, the clever Demon Lord could guess his intention, but she completely could not understand it.

‘These two had beaten me into this state, and it was also them who said such heartless things. Why should I go back? After so many things had happened, did they really think a few words could just send me back? Did they really think I had no temper?’

“No. The choice is yours. Uncle is just telling you my own thoughts. Whatever you choose in the end, I won’t interfere.”

A broad hand rubbed Eiru’s small head. Officer Li tried his best to put on a kindly smile, but the expression on his face honestly looked a bit twisted and scary.

Luckily, after spending so much time together, the little Demon Lord was not scared by that expression anymore. As long as someone was genuinely good to her, she naturally would not care about superficial things.

“Let me say this first. I won’t forgive them… absolutely not.”

Her entire childhood could be said to have been completely messed up by this pair of trash parents.

If it were not for trusted brothers and friends like Lin Miao and Jiaqi, who knew where she herself would have ended up. And the fact that she did not end up resenting these trash parents also owed a lot to the warmth those people gave her when she was at her loneliest.

“Whether you forgive them or not is your own matter. It’s also not something I can solve by saying a few words… but in Uncle’s view, you’re still a child right now. Many things still require the protection of adults. You shouldn’t have to carry everything by yourself.”

“So? I need their protection?”

The Demon Lord glanced at the two of them, the disdain in her tone impossible to miss.

‘Only now did they know to come look for me? What were they doing earlier… Carrying everything myself, whose fault was that, did they really not know? If there had been even one person she could rely on, would she have had to handle everything personally?’

“How should I put it. Uncle isn’t good with words and doesn’t know how to talk about grand principles… but Uncle doesn’t mean to make you forgive them, nor is Uncle saying you should give them a chance or anything like that. That’s your own decision, and Uncle has no right to interfere.”

Children receiving their parents’ care is something completely natural. It is something they should have had in the first place. Since parents brought a child into this world, they have to take responsibility.

“So their compensation to you is something you deserve. Uncle hopes that you can firmly grasp those things that should belong to you.”

There was not much grand reasoning behind it. Officer Li simply hoped that this adorable and sensible child could live a little better. Some things he and Yuki could not give her, or even if they gave them, she would not be willing to accept them that way.

Even if she did not forgive them, at the very least, Officer Li hoped that Eiru would follow her parents home and properly receive care. This was not about giving her parents any kind of chance. It was purely about taking back what belonged to her.

“Guuu~”

With her little head being gently rubbed by his big hand, listening to the person in front of her speak, the little Demon Lord let out a sound that was comfortable and almost like she was acting spoiled.

“If they’re still stubborn and do something that wrongs you again, Uncle’s place will always welcome you…”

When he said this, Officer Li even raised his volume a bit. These words were not only for the girl in front of him, but also a warning to the two people beside her.

‘Do not do anything that hurts this child again. If you do not want this child, then our family can fully take her in.’

As long as those two were not stupid, it was easy to understand what he meant.

And after understanding the whole chain of events, Officer Li believed that after so much had happened, the two people beside her probably would not dare do anything else to hurt this child’s heart again.

The higher-ups’ intention was to see whether this child could get in touch with her parents. If things went smoothly, they could directly coordinate with her parents in the future, saving a lot of trouble.

Officer Li himself did not have too many extra thoughts. Especially today, after learning that Eiru planned to go to another city to make a living, this was something he absolutely could not agree to. But he also knew this child’s stubbornness and strong will. Trying to stop her head-on would definitely not work.

“Uncle, hug…”

Stretching out one arm toward the person in front of her, Her Majesty the Demon Lord looked like she wanted to act spoiled. Officer Li smiled and pulled her head into his arms, gently rubbing it.

Seeing their child acting spoiled in someone else’s arms, the pair of trash parents beside them felt extremely uncomfortable. Especially Ei Yuan. Thinking back to how Eiru used to dodge his hand whenever he wanted to rub her head…

Seeing this scene, he finally understood. His daughter had never been repelled by others touching her head. She simply rejected him touching her head.

“Uncle…”

The little Demon Lord lifted her head, watery eyes staring at Officer Li with a look like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

The two people beside them were still overwhelmed with mixed emotions, when their daughter seemed to deliver another finishing blow, striking them hard once again.

“It’d be so nice if I were your child… wuu~”

Whether intentional or not, the Demon Lord’s voice was not loud, but its lethality was extremely high. The parents beside her almost wanted to clutch their hearts and vomit blood. That feeling of having someone dig at their wall was not something just anyone could ignore.

“Silly child…”

Officer Li was also amused by the girl’s innocent words. He had long since regarded her as his own daughter.

Besides, if that silly boy of his worked a bit harder, this girl would rightfully become his family anyway, would she not? No matter what the identity was, Officer Li could completely accept this adorable child becoming a member of his family.

“Bleh~ not silly~”

Making a face, the little Demon Lord then turned to look at the two people beside her who were just about to put on expressions of heartbreak.

“I’ll give Uncle Li some face, then~ I’ll go back with you this time… but only this. The relationship we talked about before won’t change, got it?”

“Okay okay, as long as you come home with us, anything is fine…”

The two of them knew they had no room to bargain and quickly nodded in agreement.

Forgiveness or not, they also knew exactly what they had done over the years. How could they dare expect so much now?

Translator Note

Finally~ the peak drama is over~

See, 630 chapters, in the end the problem can be solved with just a little bit of communication, because the root cause itself was lack of communication…

Because it was stated clearly since the beginning of the novel that her parents clearly love their son. I’d say they are just like common parents in reality~ They love their child, but don’t want to express it with words explicitly.

How many times have you heard your parents say “we love you” to you? As for me, almost never~ maybe just less than ten times in my entire life? Or maybe less than five? Idk… But one thing for certain is that I knew their feelings for me is real, so I don’t need their words for confirmation~

So if there are among you readers who have had similar experiences, then it’s better to try open up, communicate with your parents, if you need confirmation then ask them whether they love you or not, ask them why they do something you hate to you, tell them what you hate from them, tell them what you want from them. I know it’s embarrassing to communicate these things, but communication is the only solution to solve this kind of problem.

Of course, I hope you all have a peaceful, happy family~ If there is some of you who doesn’t, then I hope all your problems with your family can be solved soon~

Oh well, anyway, if after this Eiru’s parents will still neglect her, then it’s hopeless. If it happens, maybe the author would just patch it up with an excuse “it is already a habit”. But after knowing the author’s intention until now, I doubt the author will write something like that. There shouldn’t be a problem with her family anymore, it will only be about the recovery phase of their relationship~
