Demon King – Chapter 673 – An Unknown Creature in the Drainage Channel

“Wait. Wait. Dad. This isn’t what you think. I’m not taking advantage of her.”

Seeing his own father silently pull out his belt with a look that clearly said he was ready to carry out righteous extermination, Yuki panicked. If he failed to explain this properly, this was absolutely going to end with on the spot police action.

According to what Eiya said, the best method originally was to make use of the vampire component inside Eiru’s body. But in her crashed state, she clearly could not carry out any blood sucking measures, so the only option left was to settle for second best and use kissing to make use of the succubus part.

As for Officer Li, things were pretty much as Yuki had guessed. His heart was filled with grief. He truly could not imagine his own son daring to commit an offense right in front of him.

Yuki explained in a fluster, and as he listened to his son’s explanation, Officer Li stopped pulling the belt. His heart full of complicated emotions, his brows knit even tighter.

As a father, he naturally knew his son was not someone who would joke or lie about this kind of thing. But this matter also involved that girl’s reputation.

Not to mention her dad was still outside the door. Letting his son take advantage of his old friend’s daughter did not seem appropriate.

But if he stopped it, that girl most likely would not be able to wake up, and things could get even more troublesome. Thinking about all this, Officer Li felt torn.

“Dad, I swear, I will absolutely take responsibility. In this life, I will marry no one but her.”

Seeing his father’s hesitation, Yuki raised one hand to the sky and swore to him.

‘Of course I believe you’ll take responsibility. If you wouldn’t, I’d have beaten you already. But how old are you two right now. And if things go like this, how am I supposed to explain it to her dad?’

Looking at Yuki’s serious expression, Officer Li covered his face with one hand, feeling even more troubled.

Dragging this out was not a solution either. To break the deadlock, Yuki gritted his teeth and had no choice but to drop a heavyweight bombshell on Officer Li.

“Dad, you know we’ve been dating for a long time already. Actually this isn’t even the first time. The situation is urgent right now, so cut me some slack.”

“You…”

Officer Li’s blood pressure shot straight to the ceiling. So the pig from his own family had already ruined someone else’s cabbage.

“Just hurry up.”

Letting out a sigh, Officer Li finally relented.

Turning his back and walking to the door, Officer Li rubbed his aching head, thinking that later he absolutely had to ask these two clueless brats how far things had progressed. Letting young people run wild like this really could cause big problems.

With permission granted, Yuki turned back toward the so-called sleeping beauty lying on the bed. Watching her small mouth open and close slightly with her breathing, Yuki swallowed.

Thinking back, it seemed that the previous few times, it was always this girl who took the initiative and leaned in herself. She was the one leading, while he was the passive one.

Thinking that, Yuki smiled helplessly, then took a deep breath. One hand gently lifted her head as, for the first time, he took the initiative and sealed his lips over hers.

On the other side, Jiaqi seemed to have made some discoveries as well. After searching around nearby for quite a while, he spotted two familiar little… one big and one small cats.

The big cat had already caught the fleeing little tabby. But after biting the back of its neck, it did not obediently return upstairs. Instead, at an unhurried pace, it moved toward a certain direction.

“No way, you’re running too. Do I have to catch two cats now.”

Complaining as he spoke, Jiaqi hurriedly chased after them. Eiru really liked these two cats. If they were lost, she would definitely be upset.

But as he chased after them, he realized something was off. Gulu did not seem to be running away, nor did it seem to be playing. Jiaqi felt like it had sensed something and was using that faint sensation to search for something.

He had experienced something similar before. Jiaqi remembered that time, it seemed like Gulu had led him and Yuki to find two lolis.

With no other leads anyway, instead of running around like a headless fly, it might be better to follow Gulu and try his luck. With that decision made, Jiaqi followed behind the two cats, intending to see what exactly they were looking for.

After tailing them for a while, Jiaqi noticed a group of stray cats and dogs gathered not far ahead. These cats and dogs were not fighting. Instead, like onlookers, they were surrounding something.

Immediately abandoning the two cats, Jiaqi broke into a run toward them. Honestly speaking, it was hard not to be curious about such an abnormal situation.

When he got closer to take a look, the stray animals were gathered around a drainage channel, crowding around several missing grates on it. Looking down through the gaps, there was only pitch black darkness inside. Nothing could be seen.

“Uh. It shouldn’t be, right.”

Feeling a bad premonition, Jiaqi took out his phone and turned on the flashlight, shining it into the drainage channel.

This look nearly scared him half to death. Inside lay an unmoving unknown creature, its entire body covered in mud and filthy water. It lay in the drain like a corpse, making it impossible to tell whether it was still alive.

Jiaqi did not react immediately, but very quickly he realized that the little thing down there was the Hulu he had been looking for.

It seemed to have suffered serious injuries, and combined with the mud stuck to its body, the little creature was now completely unrecognizable. Even Jiaqi, who had taken care of it for a while and was relatively familiar with it, failed to recognize it at first glance.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you. You didn’t get hit by a car, did you.”

Calling out as he spoke, Jiaqi reached his hand in, ignoring the filth, trying to fish out the thing that was likely Hulu.

But of all things, the little creature had ended up right near the junction between the drainage channel and the sewer inlet. It looked like it had been there for quite a while. Washed by the water in the channel, it got stuck at the sewer entrance, making it impossible for Jiaqi to reach.

“Fuck, what the hell is going on. At least move a bit. Aren’t you some kind of divine stone incarnation or something. What is this supposed to be.”

Cursing nonstop, Jiaqi still could not hook the little thing out no matter how hard he tried. In his panic, when his fingers brushed against Hulu’s body, he accidentally caused it to slide a bit deeper into the sewer.

“Tch…”

Now Jiaqi did not dare to reach in recklessly anymore. If Hulu fell into the sewer, the difficulty of retrieving it would skyrocket. With no solution at hand, he could only call for some outside help.

“Hey, Yuki. I found Hulu. Something definitely happened to it. I’ve run into some tro—”

“Don’t worry about that yet. Little Lu woke up. She’s already flying toward you. Where are you? I’m on the way too.”

Before Yuki even finished speaking, Jiaqi noticed something racing toward him at high speed from the horizon.

“I think I already see—”

Sensing danger, the stray animals scattered instantly. Before Jiaqi could even react, with a loud bang, a certain loli descended beside him like a missile strike.
