Demon King – Chapter 665 – The Demon Lord’s Family Background

The moment she stepped through the door after getting home, what greeted Her Majesty the Demon Lord was an unexpected figure.

“Oh, Lu Brat is back?”

“Brother!”

The little Demon Lord rushed over excitedly. Because he’d been away on a business trip, she hadn’t seen this cousin of hers in quite a while.

Looking at Eiru running over to him, Lin Miao, who had been teasing Eiya just moments ago, smiled and reached out, gently rubbing that small head with its amazing hand-feel.

“Wuwawa…”

Even though it looked like she was being bullied, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was clearly enjoying it. After all, Yuki rubbed her head like this all the time too.

Off to the side, Ei Yuan didn’t feel good at all watching this scene. Several times he had tried to gently pat his own daughter’s head, only to be met with strong rejection and dodging.

He used to think it was just that the kid didn’t like people touching her head. But now Officer Li could touch it, Lin Miao could touch it, even Doctor Su Yuze and the homeroom teacher she hadn’t known for very long could touch it.

In the end, everyone could touch it except him, her own dad. How was he supposed to feel good about that?

“So big bro, why’d you suddenly come over? All done with the business trip?” Eiya asked.

“Yeah, all done. Came back this time to help you two girls sort something out.”

With each hand pinching the backs of the two girls’ necks, Lin Miao made it clear that he’d been called over by Ei Yuan to help out.

Having barely been involved in family matters for years, Ei Yuan knew full well that he didn’t understand his kids. So with a nephew like Lin Miao, who knew the two girls well, he pulled him in as backup.

“Shh…”

Seeing that Lin Miao was about to let something slip, Ei Yuan quickly made a quiet gesture at him. He was planning to give his daughters a surprise. He couldn’t let it get sold out just like that.

“OK, OK, don’t worry…”

Lin Miao replied with a no-problem gesture, then went right back to rubbing the two girls’ heads.

After dinner, the little Demon Lord hugged the teddy bear Yuki had given her and sat on the bed in Eiya’s room, chatting with her and the long-unseen Lin Miao.

“This whole thing’s kind of on me too. If I’d leaked a bit back then, you wouldn’t have gotten beaten… that’s on me for not thinking it through.”

After learning about Eiru getting beaten and running away, Lin Miao scratched his head in self-blame. This was something that could’ve been avoided. Why did it have to happen right when he was on a business trip?

“No, I was the one who said to keep it secret. Honestly, if you had leaked it, I’d have been pissed instead. Eiya had a big mouth back then, and I was mad for quite a while.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord glanced at Eiya, who was petting a cat beside her. Turning around and leaking secrets like that still left a bad taste in her mouth even now.

“Sis, I’m sorry… next time I definitely won’t pull that kind of self-deciding crap again…”

“But speaking of which, originally after you graduated college, your aunt and uncle were planning to arrange for you to go help out at one of the factories under them, to learn management and all… now it doesn’t really seem doable anymore, huh?”

Lin Miao propped his head up helplessly. The current Eiru really was hard to put at ease. He didn’t know if Ei Yuan and Liu Wan had any new plans either, and he couldn’t get any hints out of them right now.

“I don’t want their arrangements. I hate being led around by the nose the most.”

The little Demon Lord looked full of disdain. She was already unhappy with her parents. If they tried to interfere with her life on top of that, she’d definitely blow up.

“A factory under them? Brpther Mia, what does our family actually do?”

After hearing her cousin, Eiya felt confused.

The two sisters had no idea what their family situation really was, because Ei Yuan and Liu Wan had always kept it hidden. Even now, they still didn’t know what their parents actually did for a living.

“Yeah, hiding it from you now feels kind of pointless too… anyway, your uncle started his own business, runs a home furnishing and interior decoration company. Not huge scale, still in its growth phase. I work for your family too, you know. Hahaha…”

‘Huh? What does that have to do with me…’

The little Demon Lord tilted her head. After hearing all this, there wasn’t much of a ripple in her heart.

She’d never really had much sense of connection to her family anyway. Even though she’d heard that her family background was pretty good, she still felt like it had nothing to do with her. After all, the only things linking her to that family right now were just the two people sitting beside her.

Seeing both sisters tilting their heads with confused looks, the conversation fell into an awkward lull. Lin Miao scratched his head and had no choice but to shift the topic to the move. This time, being called over by Ei Yuan was also to help deal with the sisters’ moving arrangements.

“The house is already picked. Your rooms are both on the first floor, directly across from each other. I’m pretty confident in my design. I think you two can look forward to it?”

Having grown up together, Lin Miao had plenty of shared topics with his two cousins. He couldn’t say he understood everything going on in their heads, but the stuff he put together would definitely be something Eiru and Eiya liked. That much confidence he had.

So Ei Yuan handed the entire design of the two daughters’ new rooms over to Lin Miao. Not only that, the two of them also planned a surprise that the sisters would absolutely love. It was still being kept secret for now.

“Wow, can’t wait…”

The sisters’ deadpan delivery made black lines pop up on Lin Miao’s forehead.

‘Damn it, so annoying. Just you wait. When the time comes, I’ll make you so happy you go crazy. This is a big brother’s surprise, you little brats…’

As he was thinking that, Ei Yuan suddenly called him from outside the door, so Lin Miao had to get up and leave the room.

“My only worry is whether the new place will be convenient for me to bring Stupid Yuki over…”

Hugging her teddy bear, the little Demon Lord suddenly flopped down. Eiya, lying beside her, felt both speechless and unsurprised.

“Then why don’t you just have Brother Miao build you some kind of secret room? That way it’s convenient for you to hide a man, sis?”

“What do you mean hide a man? I’m a tough guy! If I hide Stupid Yuki at home… he’s my wife, so that should be called hiding a beauty in a golden house!”

What the hell kind of hiding-a-beauty-in-a-golden-house is that… Eiya didn’t even want to complain about this weird phrasing anymore. But as a hardcore Lu-Yu supporter, she was more than willing to help her sister out.

Most of the time, her sister didn’t even realize she was a girl. Without Brother Yuki keeping an eye on her, problems were bound to happen. Sure, it was a hassle, but it also gave her a different kind of cuteness.

‘Maybe that was exactly what Brother Yuki liked about her?’

Watching her sister hugging the teddy bear and rolling back and forth on the bed, Eiya felt helpless. But along with that helplessness, a bit of envy also crept into her heart.

‘When would I meet a boy like that too? Someone who could tolerate me, someone I could rely on… If I had that, I could probably be as happy as her sister, right?’

Translator Note

Yeah, I wonder about that too… When would I meet a girl who would rely on me? TvT
