Demon King – Chapter 642 – The Conflict That Erupted Again

“Thank you for your hard work, teacher. We’ll be relying on you to take care of our Eiru from now on…”

While exchanging polite words, Ei Yuan and Liu Wan stood up and escorted the teacher, who was about to return to school, to the door.

Now that he had a clear understanding of Eiru’s family situation and had confirmed that there was no reason like he had imagined for her not attending classes, the homeroom teacher naturally had no reason to stay any longer. Besides, it was already getting late.

“Huh? Old Ban, you’re leaving already? So everything’s settled?”

With both hands pinching the cheeks of a whimpering silver-haired girl, Jiaqi had just walked out of the room when he saw his homeroom teacher preparing to leave.

“Oh, Hui Jiaqi, I almost forgot about you… You’re not going back to the dorm? Did you ask the dorm supervisor for leave?”

Seeing Jiaqi bullying Eiru’s sister, the teacher frowned slightly, but thinking about how they had grown up together, he did not say much more.

“No no no, I’ll head back by car in a bit… The two sisters just recovered from a serious illness, so I came over today to check on them.”

“Then let go, stop pinching me, wuwu… You know I just recovered from a serious illness and you still do this?”

Eiya was already having the urge to bite someone. But Jiaqi had noticed it first and was already holding her cheeks firmly, leaving her helpless on the spot.

“Then hurry up and pack your things now. I drove here, I can give you a ride on the way. What time is it already? If you’re any later and the dorm lights go out, just wait to get your name written up.”

Sighing, the overworked homeroom teacher pointed at the watch on his wrist to remind him of the time. Kids these days really had terrible procrastination and zero sense of time.

“What? Old Ban is giving me a ride? Coming, coming right now!”

Getting a ride from the homeroom teacher was not something you could enjoy any time you wanted. Jiaqi immediately tossed the silver-haired girl aside, grabbed his bag, and chased after him.

“So I’m not even as important as a free ride?”

Eiya, who had been suddenly abandoned, was a bit stunned.

“No, go on then, don’t let me keep you. And don’t come back to bully me again!”

“Next time for sure!”

“For sure my ass. If you dare come, I’ll bite you!”

Downstairs, after getting into the car, the homeroom teacher rested both hands on the steering wheel, thought for a moment, then asked the student beside him.

“So you and Eiru grew up together. You always knew she was a girl, right?”

“No, I didn’t know before… She used to be a boy. I only found out recently.”

So she really was publicly presented as a boy before and raised as a boy. Jiaqi’s answer made the teacher develop a subtle misunderstanding.

“But still, she’s just a little girl. How did all those weird rumors even spread… To be honest, before she came to my class, I almost believed them myself.”

“Maybe it’s because no one’s ever seen her? So some strange rumors got spread?”

Jiaqi did not have much of a reaction to his homeroom teacher’s complaint. He had been overseas back then anyway. How the rumors spread was not something he could possibly know.

“By the way, I might ask you more things about Eiru in the future. I’ll be counting on you then.”

“Got it, got it. Our dear Old Ban cares about every student in the class. Everyone knows that.”

He made an OK gesture. He had originally wanted to add something like you can ask dear Yuki instead, but considering the current relationship between those two, he did not dare to say it out loud.

After the two of them left, Eiya, who had been bullied all day, originally wanted to complain a bit to her sister standing by the door. But when she saw the gloomy expression on her sister’s face, she decisively stopped herself.

“I’m telling you right now, I’m going back to live in the dorms. Don’t even think about withdrawing me. This has nothing to do with you.”

She spoke coldly. If the homeroom teacher had not been there just now, Her Majesty the Demon Lord would probably have already gotten into a fight with the two of them beside her.

Dorm 1503 was one of the very few warm little nests Eiru had. It was lively and bustling. Ever since she started boarding at school, she had barely gone back to her single apartment.

Everyone got along well and took good care of her. Every day was relaxed and cheerful. She did not have to watch anyone’s face. It was far better than this unpleasant home.

“What are you saying? Even if you used to be a boy, now you’re a girl. How can you live together with a bunch of boys?”

Liu Wan squatted down and tried to persuade her daughter, but only received an even more intense response.

“Weren’t you the ones who sent me there in the first place? You dumped me outside and ignored me for so many years, and now you’re pretending to care? Every time I finally manage to adapt to a new environment, you come in to interfere and change things. Is it really that hard to let me live peacefully?”

She only had a few friends to begin with, and almost all of them were in that dorm. Not to mention that she had finally faced her feelings for Yuki. She had not even had the chance to start being all lovey-dovey yet, and now the two of them wanted to separate them?

Before, she could endure it. But this time, the Demon Lord did not want to give in. Even if it was only for less than two years, she wanted to continue being dormmates with those idiot brothers.

“Don’t talk to me about men and women needing to keep their distance. They treat me way better than you do. The things that should be paid attention to, they understand better than you ever did. They’ve never done anything that crossed the line with me!”

“You…”

Liu Wan immediately felt her temper flare up, but Ei Yuan noticed it at once and pulled her back, stopping her.

“Mom and Dad will discuss this first. Don’t rush, alright? Focus on recovering and taking care of your body. We can talk about these things later.”

As he spoke, Ei Yuan shot Liu Wan a look, the meaning obvious. ‘Do not irritate the child anymore. Stabilize her first, then talk about everything else.’

Smacking her lips, having already made her stance clear, the Demon Lord did not want to say anything more. She turned around and pulled Eiya, who had been standing off to the side watching the situation, back into the room.

“What are you even thinking? You’re really going to let her go back and stay with a bunch of boys? She’s your own daughter. Are you sending a lamb into a wolf’s den? And if word gets out, what will Little Lu do in the future?”

As soon as the two daughters left, Liu Wan dragged Ei Yuan back into the room. The door had barely closed when she launched into a barrage of accusations.

“Of course not. But look at Little Lu’s current state. If we keep talking, with your temper you’ll definitely end up arguing with her. Aren’t you afraid she’ll run away from home again?”

Ei Yuan could put everything else aside, but they absolutely could not afford to offend their daughter again. If Liu Wan’s bad temper drove Eiru away once more, he really would lose it with her.

When it came to their daughter’s reputation and education, no matter what, the two of them could not truly send Eiru back to live in the boys’ dormitory. But with their relationship with the child at a freezing point, they were also acting with restraint, afraid of provoking her again.

“In any case, don’t bring this up for now. We’ll talk after we find a solution. Getting angry will also affect her recovery. Healing properly is the most important thing for her right now. Try to rein in that temper of yours.”
