Demon King – Chapter 667 – Her Majesty the Demon Lord Starts Showing Off Again

Because of school and pickup considerations, Ei Yuan ultimately decided that before the move, Eiru would temporarily stay in the rental apartment near the school. On weekends, he would take her back home.

The next afternoon, he brought Eiru back to the rental apartment. This time, Ei Yuan was not going to let his daughter stay there alone anymore.

With two cats and a whole pile of stuff in tow, there was no way he would not stay with his daughter. For this period of time, Eiru’s daily commute to and from school would be handled personally by him.

Because his eldest daughter’s situation was special, he did not feel comfortable leaving it to anyone else. As for Eiya, Lin Miao happened to be free recently and could handle picking her up and dropping her off, so that part was entrusted to him.

“We only have one room here?”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord sat duck-legged on the bed, looking at her dad still hauling in various cat supplies, feeling a bit speechless.

“It’s fine. Dad will sleep on the sofa. We’ll just make do for now. We’ll be moving soon anyway.”

“Even though I don’t really like you…”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord muttered softly. No matter what, the person in front of her was still her dad. Disliking him was one thing, but she was not about to pull some performative ‘filial piety’ nonsense either.

“I’ll sleep on the sofa instead. Even if I don’t like you, I don’t want people talking behind my back. It just feels weird.”

“Don’t worry. Your dad is still sturdy. Sleeping on the sofa for a while is nothing. You, on the other hand, should pay more attention to your health. You two kids are everything to Dad now.”

‘Tch. If you had been like this earlier, how would our relationship have ended up this bad.’

Complaining inwardly, the Demon Lord could tell that he meant it. But once a rift formed, simple goodwill like this was not enough to do much.

‘She is clearly so sensible. I really must have been blind back then to believe all that crap those people said.’

While tidying things up, Ei Yuan also scolded himself harshly in his heart.

‘Always thinking of others, even toward someone like me who hurt her so deeply. Even with rejection in her heart, she still unconsciously shows kindness and concern. A child this sensible is really just like big brother said, you could search with a lantern and still not find another one.’

Watching her dad busying himself, the Demon Lord wanted to say something, but the phone beside her suddenly rang. Picking it up, sure enough, it was her little sister calling.

“It’s Little Ya calling. I’ll take it.”

“Hm? Where did you get that phone?”

Drawn by the ringtone, Ei Yuan did not remember him or his wife ever buying that kind of phone for their child.

“A friend gave it to me. Bleh.”

Making a face, Her Majesty the Demon Lord took the phone and scooted to the corner of the bed, starting a long call with her little sister.

“Sigh…”

Ei Yuan scratched his head and continued tidying up, even closing the room door for them so as not to disturb the sisters’ call.

Many parents, when they find out their child received a gift from someone without their knowledge, instinctively tell the child to return it. What they do not realize is that doing so often makes things awkward for both sides.

So Ei Yuan did not plan to make Eiru return the phone. Seeing that she seemed to really like it, he figured he would just find a time to ask who gave it to her and privately reimburse them.

Inside the room, the two sisters unexpectedly ended up talking about something very serious. For the two of them, who were usually full of nonsense, chatting about proper business like this was actually quite rare.

“Sis, how many pieces of Abyssal Amber are you still missing? I remember there were three fragments left outside. You’ve found two now, right?”

“Yeah. The one on you, and the one currently sprawled on my head, Hulu.”

She patted the soft little lump on her head. Even though Eiru really did not want to admit it, this lazy and embarrassing little thing really was a part she had split off.

In fact, as the main body, her own age was not even a fraction of its actual age. Well, if you counted from when it was still a stone.

Recently, though, the Demon Lord had also realized that some of the things that happened before were inseparable from the little thing on her head. She had been somewhat dissatisfied with it lately, even though she knew it was probably not acting out of its own will.

“Then what about the last piece? Your body should be fine now, right? If all three aren’t recovered, you’ll still have problems because of the damage, won’t you?”

“Relax. I’ve checked myself. There’s absolutely nothing wrong. Even if there aren’t any leads right now, there’s plenty of time to look.”

‘Uh. Hopefully you’re using the same standards you used when you checked me to evaluate yourself.’

Eiya complained inwardly. But since Eiru said so, she did not say anything more. After all, Eiru herself understood this stuff better.

“Then I’ll see if I can help ask around on my end. You should also get Brother Jiaqi and Brother Yuki to help…”

“No!”

The Demon Lord suddenly cut her off.

“They’ve already been really busy and worried lately. There’s no need to trouble them with this.”

“Ah, this…”

“Be good and listen to your brother. Don’t tell them about this. I can handle it myself.”

Eiru’s thinking was simple. She had already received too much care lately and really did not want to keep bothering other people.

Besides, everyone else still had work and school. They were not like her, an idle slacker with nothing better to do. And for this kind of mysterious stuff, it was obviously more appropriate for her to deal with it herself. Other people would not be able to find any leads anyway.

“Are you sure you’ll actually look properly? You won’t just slack off?”

Eiya was doubtful. She had seen her sister’s life experiences from start to finish. Whether she would really take this seriously was still a questionable proposition.

“I’ll slack off while looking. There’s plenty of time anyway.”

“This is about your life. Don’t let your procrastination kick in at a time like this, okay?”

“I won’t, I won’t. I’ll look properly.”

The Demon Lord rolled around on the bed while saying this. Anyone who knew her would still be skeptical of her words.

“I’m telling you, sis. If you don’t behave and just slack off, Brother Yuki will catch you and spank your butt hard. Are you scared?”

“Hah? I’m scared of him?”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord immediately sat up, feeling her authority as an older brother being challenged.

“I’m telling you, don’t underestimate your brother. Even if ten of him came, your brother here, as a macho man, wouldn’t be scared at all, got it?”

“Ten Brother Yuki you might not be scared of, but you’d probably be so happy you’d go stupid, then be unable to move the next day…”

“Are you driving?”

Eiru frowned, feeling that something about that line sounded very wrong.

“No no, how could my driving speed ever compare to yours, dear sister?”

“???”
