Demon King – Chapter 639 – Childhood Sweethearts

You could really tell the difference when a professional doctor handled things. Combined with her outstanding self-healing ability, in just half a month, Her Majesty the Demon Lord had already recovered to the point where she could walk without needing a crutch.

She still could not do any intense exercise, of course, but at least it was no longer this kind of torment. The doctors had originally estimated two to three months. This recovery was an unexpected surprise.

But compared to the happy Ei Yuan, Liu Wan, and the doctors, Yuki and Eiya, who knew quite a bit of the inside story, did not think this was a good thing at all. On the contrary, they were even more worried.

Eiru’s self-healing ability was passively allocated depending on the situation. Since her external injuries were recovering so quickly, did that mean the balance she had been maintaining internally, constantly fighting against organ failure, had been broken?

However, since a certain girl still looked quite lively and normal on the outside, there were no obvious problems for the moment. Naturally, they could not bring this up lightly. They had also never seen the detailed examination report. Even now, they still did not know what her internal condition actually looked like.

“Why didn’t Stupid Yuki come today?”

Looking at Jiaqi, who had come to visit her, the little Demon Lord tilted her head. She was just one step away from shamelessly shouting I want Stupid Yuki.

“Because your parents are at home, so I came to represent him,”

Jiaqi said with a grin.

“He said he’s also afraid he might end up fighting with your parents.”

For various reasons, Yuki only came to visit his little girlfriend when other people were not around. Jiaqi, on the other hand, had the identity of Eiru’s childhood friend. The two families were close, so relatively speaking, there were fewer things to worry about.

“Little Ya. I heard you went back to school, right?”

As he moved closer to Eiya, who was tidying up her schoolbag, Jiaqi suddenly struck out with his hand and pressed it down on her head.

“Wah, what are you doing again? You scared me!”

“Bullying you. It’s been a long time since I teased you,”

Jiaqi said, messing up her hair. Thankfully, the two of them had known each other since childhood and were familiar enough. If it were another girl, he probably would have been slapped already.

“Let go. My hair is a mess. Why do you always bully me? You’ve been like this since we were kids!”

Eiya struggled. After finally breaking free from Jiaqi’s clutches, she scampered behind her sister to hide.

During this period, Eiya could be said to have fully returned to normal, aside from needing to hide one extra part. So she quickly resumed her daily life and went back to school.

With such a smart older sister, her biological younger sister was naturally not bad either. Even though she was not as absurdly overpowered as Eiru, the time she had fallen behind was nothing to Eiya. Very quickly, she returned to being among the top of her grade.

“But Little Ya is actually wearing a skirt now. So cute. Wow, these white stockings, I’m healed. Before, no matter how much I asked, you wouldn’t wear them.”

Admiring Eiya’s cute outfit, Jiaqi made an extremely perverted comment. It scared a certain girl so much that she shuddered and shrank even closer behind her sister.

“Stop talking. Even at school, people keep glancing at me all the time. Wearing a skirt feels so awkward. I really want to go back to wearing pants.”

Puffing out her cheeks and glaring at Jiaqi, the silver-haired girl trait combined with her good looks made Eiya even more likely to attract the attention of young boys at school now. For someone who was already shy and introverted, this was extremely distressing.

“Alright, alright, good girl.”

The little Demon Lord reached out and pinched her sister’s cheek to comfort her.

“It looks good anyway. It’s fine.”

“You used to be a boy. You don’t understand this kind of thing.”

“Wuwuwu, Little Ya, come give me a hug. I haven’t hugged you in so long. Don’t always cling to your sister. We grew up together too, didn’t we?”

Half-joking, Jiaqi leaned in again, trying to pull Eiya away from her sister. In his eyes, Eiya was still a somewhat unstable existence, who might suddenly go berserk at any time.

Not knowing that Eiya had already fully recovered, Jiaqi often used this teasing, fur-raising method to shift her attention onto himself, to prevent her from suddenly going berserk and hurting her sister. Of course, he always controlled the degree. He was not actually some gentleman who touched girls improperly.

“I don’t want to. It’s exactly because when I wore skirts as a kid, you wanted to hug me every day and kept encouraging me to wear skirts even when nothing was going on, that I started wearing pants!”

“Wuwuwu, Little Ya doesn’t want Brother Jiaqi’s hugs anymore. She used to cling to her big brother so much when she was little. Then I went abroad, and everything changed.”

Watching Jiaqi start his fake crying routine again, Eiru suddenly felt like she had gone back to childhood. Jiaqi often used this trick on Eiya. Against that soft, obedient little girl back then, it worked every time.

“Cut it out. I’m not little anymore. That trick doesn’t work. I know you’re fake crying.”

Eiya stepped forward and knocked Jiaqi on the head, interrupting his fake crying.

But even though she said that, she then very naturally sat down on Jiaqi’s lap. More or less influenced by her sister’s experiences, she was no longer that resistant toward trustworthy boys around her. Especially not Jiaqi, whom she had grown up with.

“Only for a little while, okay? And only hugging. No touching or groping. Just because we grew up together.”

“Wow, Little Ya, why did your personality suddenly soften? You feel like before, cute and squishy. Did you take the wrong medicine?”

Jiaqi was pleasantly surprised. He had only been joking. Eiya’s reaction really made it feel like they were back to the childhood trio again.

If this were before, Eiya would have definitely kicked him and started a fight. It was hard to imagine that this fiery little madwoman who was like a powder keg would actually be this soft and cute today.

“If you don’t know how to speak, I suggest you don’t speak.”

Eiya rolled her eyes at the person behind her.

“With such a foul mouth, you’ll get beaten up outside. Don’t even think about finding a girlfriend.”

“Come on. I only bully you. With everyone else, I’m polite and well-mannered.”

“Why?! Do we have some kind of grudge?!”

“You two really have a great relationship.”

The Demon Lord sighed, watching the two of them grab each other’s cheeks and fool around.

“Who has a good relationship with him!” “Our relationship is exactly that good.”

Hearing their opposite answers, Eiya turned her head and glared fiercely at the person in front of her like a puffed-up kitten. Jiaqi just looked at this girl next door with doting eyes, thinking about what he should do next to tease this little powder keg.

“If you think about it carefully, Jiaqi and I are also childhood friends at heart. You two are the real childhood sweethearts.”

“Why don’t you two just get together? Internal digestion is actually pretty good. I believe both sides’ parents wouldn’t object.”

The trouble-loving little Demon Lord clapped her hands and teased them, watching the show with a playful look.

““What?””

“Her?” “Him?”

““Forget it.””

Ah… so now it’s Jiaqi and Eiya’s turn to get shipped… sigh…
