Demon King – Chapter 631 – The Demon Lord Feels Absolutely Nothing

“Gulu, Mango.”

Just as a certain pair of trash parents started preparing to help move things and take the child back home, the little Demon Lord let out a soft call. In response, one big and one small cat came trotting over with rapid little steps.

The two clever cats seemed to sense that their little owner was about to make a break for it. As soon as they heard the call, they hurried over to show off their presence. The big one even had a soft squishy unidentified creature clamped in its mouth.

“You keep… cats? Two of them?”

Compared to Ei Yuan, who knew full well and even acted as an accomplice by staying quiet, Liu Wan knew absolutely nothing about Eiru keeping cats.

Even Ei Yuan, who had personally gotten his daughter a little tabby before, was completely dumbfounded when he looked at the big cat that could practically be called a small tiger. There are cats this big in the world? Is that really a cat?

“I’m definitely taking these two back with me.”

Pointing at the cats, Her Majesty the Demon Lord made her stance crystal clear. Forget any talk about not being allowed to keep pets.

‘If I’m here, the cats are here. You two better think carefully.’

“Alright alright, take them back, take them back.”

Liu Wan had not even spoken yet when Ei Yuan agreed right away. He never really opposed keeping pets in the first place.

Eiya had grown up by now, her health was no longer an issue, and there were no longer any of the old family reasons that forbade raising small animals. The only thing worth worrying about was whether these two cats might suddenly get aggressive and scratch people.

It took quite a while to load everything into the car. Only then did Ei Yuan and Liu Wan truly realize how many things Eiru had been secretly hiding away on her own like the plushies Yuki bought for her and the like. It made them feel even more strongly that they truly did not understand this child at all.

“Don’t touch me. I can walk by myself.”

Rejecting Liu Wan’s attempt to come over and support her, the little Demon Lord propped herself up with her cane and limped into the car. After sitting down, she waved goodbye to Officer Li with a hint of reluctance.

“Um, Uncle, I can still come visit you guys in the future, right?”

“Come by anytime you want. Rest well at home and recover properly. Don’t make such a fuss in the future.”

Officer Li reached out and patted Eiru on the head. To be honest, he had already started to quite like the feel of this girl’s head under his hand.

“Meow!”

The two cats that had already jumped into the car let out overlapping meows. Clearly, they were extremely excited about moving to a new environment.

After the car started up, the two adults did not forget that Eiru got carsick. Along the way they kept asking if she was cold or uncomfortable. Now they finally understood why this child used to grit her teeth and refuse to sleep no matter what.

If the two of them had paid even a little more attention back then, they would have discovered Eiru’s true situation long ago. The moment she fell asleep, she would revert to her original form. Did that not mean that over all these years, the two of them had never once seen Eiru sleeping?

Faced with all this concern, it would have been normal for the little Demon Lord to feel warm inside. That is, if that incident had never happened. If their heartless words had not completely crushed her heart.

As things stood now, Her Majesty the Demon Lord felt absolutely nothing inside. Not a ripple to speak of. What was more, the way these two were acting now gave her a strong sense of them trying to curry favor, which honestly made her want to laugh.

As for all of Liu Wan’s questions, she could not be bothered to answer. None of it had anything to do with her anyway. She really wanted to snap back with a ‘what’s it got to do with you,’ but because the carsickness had her feeling so awful, she just responded with perfunctory hmms and ohs, eyes half-closed as she continued resting in the car.

The two cats lying next to Eiru were extremely well behaved at the moment. Because it was still young, the little tabby curled into a ball, clearly nervous and scared.

Gulu, lying beside it, leaned over and used her cat tongue to groom the other’s fur, offering reassurance in this way. It gave off a very strong big sister taking care of her little sister kind of vibe.

After another long stretch of driving, something that had always been pure torment for the little Demon Lord, the car finally braked just as she was about to fall asleep. They had arrived at their destination at last.

Surrounded by the two cats, she slowly got out of the car and headed toward the elevator in the underground parking garage. Mango nearly ran off several times out of excitement, only to be chased down by Gulu, who grabbed the scruff of its neck and hauled it back.

Back home, a certain silver-haired girl still in recovery heard the commotion and slowly wandered out of her room. When she saw the familiar petite figure outside, she almost jumped on the spot.

“Big sis!”

Eiya lunged over excitedly, but she seemed to have forgotten her current condition. With that sudden movement, her legs went weak and she flopped down onto the nearby ottoman with a smack.

“Pfft… you probably still haven’t fully adapted yet, right? Don’t embarrass yourself…”

Seeing her little sister’s mortifying state, Eiru burst out laughing. She reached out to help her up, but as soon as she pulled, pain shot through her joints and her face instantly turned pale.

“Mm…”

Puffing out her cheeks, Eiya lifted her head, wanting to complain a bit. Only then did she notice the bandages wrapped all over her sister’s body, and she swallowed her words back in fright.

“Big sis? What happened to you? What’s going on? What’s with all these injuries? Broken bones? Did you fall? No… it looks like you were beaten? Who did this!”

“Yeah, who did it, I wonder? How could they be so cruel…”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord said in a deliberately sarcastic tone, her gaze flicking toward the two people at the doorway who had just finished carrying things upstairs.

The sisters’ conversation was heard clearly by the pair who had just entered. For a moment, they did not know how to react. They could only awkwardly pretend they had heard nothing, continuing to move things without daring to respond.

“Huh? Big sis, you came clean?”

Seeing their parents at the door, Eiya was a little shocked.

“It wasn’t me who came clean. Forget it, let’s not talk about that. Let’s go back to the room, I’ll check you over.”

Eiru clearly did not want to keep bringing up the two people over there and deliberately changed the subject.

The reason she agreed to come back was not only to give Officer Li some face. She was also worried about her younger sister and her grandmother at home. Even if it was not much, there were still people in this household who genuinely cared about her. She could not just leave without looking back.

“Check my ass. You should be checking yourself. And wasn’t all of this arranged by you anyway… wait, your memories still haven’t come back?”

“Memories? Come back? Ah… if you put it that way, then probably not?”

The little Demon Lord froze for a moment, then quickly understood what the other meant.

“Back then you used your memories as chains to seal the non-human part of me inside your body. You also locked away my memories while you were at it. Now that I’ve recovered, there’s no reason you still wouldn’t have.”

As she spoke, Eiya swayed the tail behind her. Though she was still not fully used to it, at least she could control that thing properly now.

“Huh? When did you grow an extra thing?”

Only now did Her Majesty the Demon Lord notice the additional appendage on her sister.

“Weren’t you a human? Where did that tail come from?”

“See! You really haven’t recovered! All of this was clearly within your calculations back then!”
