Demon King – Chapter 657 – The Person Her Majesty the Demon Lord Is Afraid Of

“I told you there was no need to buy me all this stuff… hehe~”

Sitting on her bed and holding a brand-new phone, the little Demon Lord said so with her mouth, but her expression clearly showed she could not put it down.

Because he really could not stand being out of contact with his wife, and since yesterday happened to be the perfect opportunity, Yuki gave Eiru the phone he had prepared for her. Along with it came the phone case, the ring holder, and all the other accessories, everything already set up for her.

“It’s even the latest model. He really spent a lot again…”

Rubbing the phone against her cheek a couple of times, Her Majesty the Demon Lord once more fell into a question she used to think about often.

Clothes, phones, and even the hotel expenses from before. No matter how you looked at it, she really should give something back, right? But speaking of gifts, she vaguely remembered there was still a model she had left in someone else’s care.

Thinking back to that whole incident, the corners of Eiru’s mouth twitched slightly. Back then, she really was too stupid, huh? How did she get led around so easily? Was it because her brain memory usage was too high and her intelligence dropped?

“But I still have to go get that model and give it to Stupid Yuki. Better to cut ties with that guy early… though it doesn’t really seem like I have much to do with him anyway.”

Scrolling through the pages on her new phone, the little Demon Lord muttered to herself, and her thoughts naturally drifted to that blonde girl, making her a bit worried about how she was doing.

Earlier, she had found a chance to explain the voodoo doll situation to Yunyan. But the other girl was, in the end, still kind and naive. Unaware of someone’s filthy behavior behind the scenes, she had no intention of using something like that to control her boyfriend. She rejected the thing in Eiru’s hands that sounded extremely evil and dangerous.

“At least that Wulong loli doesn’t seem to have anything abnormal? Either that guy learned his lesson and behaved himself, or he hasn’t been found out…”

Letting out a sigh, even though it would be cruel to that devoted girl, Her Majesty the Demon Lord still really wanted to find a chance to expose that guy’s true colors right in front of her.

But without direct evidence, there was nothing she could really do. On top of that, the mess on her own side had been overwhelming lately, so she ended up pushing the matter to the back of her mind.

“Speaking of which, where did I put that voodoo doll?”

Putting down her phone, Eiru suddenly realized this serious problem. If that thing really got lost, it seemed like it would be a huge deal.

“Feels like I left it at the rental place? Whatever, I’ll find another chance to go get it later…”

Shaking her head, the little Demon Lord was just about to rua the three little ones beside her when the noise outside the door made her prick up her ears.

“Hey, brother, why are you here, and you even brought so much stuff… leave it there, leave it there, I’ll carry it.”

“Little Lu is home, right? Things at the fields are pretty much done, so I came by to take a look.”

Did someone come over? The noisy sounds outside stirred Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s curiosity. Today wasn’t the weekend or anything, so having guests at home was a pretty rare thing.

Then, with a shout from her old man outside, the little Demon Lord’s curiosity vanished without a trace. Like a startled cat with its fur standing on end, she immediately jolted upright.

“Little Lu, your eldest uncle came to see you!”

The moment she heard who it was, Eiru was just one step away from jumping out the window to escape. After all, her eldest uncle was, just like her grandpa, one of the people she feared the most.

Of course, fear also came in different kinds. The little Demon Lord’s fear of her eldest uncle and her grandpa was more of an instinctive fear a junior had toward elders. Both of them were very serious types, a bit like Officer Li when she first met him.

Before starting elementary school, Eiru had lived in her hometown. Back then, Ei Yuan and Liu Wan had taken Eiya to Huanghai, and the ones responsible for taking care of her were her grandparents and her eldest uncle’s family.

Kids in the countryside being lively and mischievous was nothing unusual. When she was little, Eiru had been extremely naughty, and she had taken no small number of scoldings from her eldest uncle and her grandpa.

When it happened often and over a long time, it was inevitable that a kind of fear would develop. Besides, back then Eiru was essentially living under someone else’s roof, so she really was afraid of offending them.

But fear aside, the little Demon Lord did not actually dislike them. On the contrary, she respected these elders very much.

After all, she had been raised under their care, so gratitude was definitely there. Even though her eldest uncle was a rough man and had only finished elementary school, Eiru herself had not even gone to kindergarten. It was her eldest uncle who had held her hand and taught her how to read and all kinds of basic knowledge.

Trembling slightly, she walked out of her room and leaned against the doorframe, secretly peeking at what was going on outside. Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s current timid and adorable figure really made it hard not to laugh.

“Little Lu, I haven’t seen you in a long time.”

Recognizing his familiar yet unfamiliar eldest niece at a glance, Eiru’s eldest uncle strode over to her with his rough steps, startling her so badly she almost shrank back into the room.

“Did I scare you? Don’t be afraid. Your uncle really did scold you a lot back then…”

Scratching his head, Eiru’s eldest uncle looked a bit embarrassed.

“N-No… it’s just that I’m a bit nervous…”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord said softly while holding onto the doorframe. Seeing her delicate and cute appearance, a big hand came down to rest on her head, gently rubbing it.

“You’ve been wronged, girl… suffering so much all these years, and I, your uncle, didn’t even notice.”

Sighing, Eiru’s eldest uncle was filled with guilt and self-blame. After all, since her birth, it had been his family taking care of her. He truly had treated Eiru as his own child.

“Look at these skinny arms and legs of yours… sigh. Back then, your uncle shouldn’t have arranged so much work for you.”

“No no, uncle, weren’t the things you gave me all pretty easy jobs? You all handled the hard stuff. I just helped a bit where I could.”

Back then she had still been a boy, so relatively speaking the work she did was not that extreme. And every time she went back to the hometown later, her eldest uncle never arranged too much heavy labor for her. The little Demon Lord understood all of that very clearly.

“You child, you’re just too sensible…”

Smiling, her eldest uncle rubbed Eiru’s head again, then turned around and shot Ei Yuan a meaningful look.

“To have such a sensible child, that’s a blessing for parents. You can’t go not cherishing a child like this.”

This was basically calling him out by name. You could say it was just one step away from pointing at Ei Yuan’s nose and scolding him. Faced with his elder brother’s reproach, Ei Yuan did not dare breathe too loudly, only managing an awkward bitter smile on the spot.

Back then, Eiru’s eldest uncle had dropped out of school precisely to deal with the issue of all his younger brothers and sisters going to school, helping manage the family’s fields.

He had also helped take care of and raise all his younger siblings. It could be said that without his contributions, Ei Yuan and his siblings would never have achieved what they had today.

As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father. Because of that, in the hearts of Ei Yuan and his siblings, their eldest brother’s status was absolutely unquestionable.
