Demon King – Chapter 716 – Should You Really Eat the Grass by the Nest?

“Wulong loli’s phone number? Why are you asking about that?”

“Oh, nothing really, I’m just kind of curious! I was wondering how she’s been!”

While feeding the cats, the little Demon Lord looked at her sister with some confusion. Little Ya had only met Wulong Loli once, right? Logically speaking, they shouldn’t be that close…

“Well, I did see what she went through with you, sis. I have a pretty good impression of Wulong Loli too, so I just… want to check on her! Get to know her a bit more!”

“That’s fair. At your age, you really should make more friends…”

Barely accepting Eiya’s explanation, Her Majesty the Demon Lord pulled out her phone and started scrolling through her contacts, looking for the number of a certain blonde loli.

You don’t have that many friends yourself, sis. And you still have the nerve to lecture me on this… Eiya complained silently, leaning her little head over to look at the screen of Eiru’s phone.

“By the way, didn’t you used to call her Sister Yunyan? Why are you suddenly calling her Wulong Loli too?”

“I learned it from you. You call her that all the time, so I got influenced, obviously~”

Speaking with a mischievous tone, Eiya wrapped her arms around her sister’s shoulders and pressed her whole body onto Eiru’s back.

“Then since you’ve seen everything already, why don’t you just look up Wulong Loli’s number directly from your memory? Why ask me?”

“Sis, I’m human… I don’t have your kind of ability.”

For a moment, Eiya felt utterly speechless.

“Besides, aren’t you flipping through your phone right now too?”

Because she had seen Eiru’s entire life experience from within her body, Eiya understood very well that some aspects of her sister could only be described as monstrous. Ordinary people’s memories could at best recall a rough outline. That Demon Lord, on the other hand, was more like browsing through files. Even tiny details in a single scene could be pulled out directly.

As for why she still needed to scroll through her phone to find a number, of course it was because she was too lazy to dig through her own memory. Eiya’s question was mostly just a complaint. She knew her sister’s habits all too well.

“Here, the number’s right here… don’t go stirring up trouble, alright? She can be pretty dumb sometimes. Don’t forget what we’ve always called her.”

“Because she messes things up all the time, that’s why she’s Wulong loli, right~ I know.”

After getting the phone number, Eiya immediately pattered back to her own room. Not understanding what she was planning, Eiru tilted her head, gave up thinking about it, and turned back to continue feeding the two cats in front of her…

“Oh right, sis! Did you not eat dinner?”

Eiya’s voice suddenly came from her room. She remembered that her sister hadn’t eaten dinner at Jiaqi’s place like she had.

“Ah, I forgot!”

The next morning, Jiaqi lay sprawled on his desk. Even though the whole class was immersed in a serious studying atmosphere, his mind was completely stuck on what had happened last night.

His childhood sweetheart sitting on his lap. Her petite body felt incredibly comfortable to hold, and there was a pleasant scent about her. Combined with her ridiculously cute outfit yesterday, even though his gaze kept darting away, he couldn’t pull his eyes off her at all.

“Fuck, am I possessed or something? Why is my head full of her? We were even closer before and it was never like this…”

Muttering under his breath, Jiaqi couldn’t figure out what kind of state he was in right now. That little girl was sometimes temperamental and pretty bratty. Even though he spoiled her like a sister, he still found her a bit annoying.

Aside from being really cute, Eiya’s personality should count as the kind he found kind of troublesome, right? So why was he obsessively thinking about her like he’d lost his mind… Even rabbits don’t eat the grass by the nest. If he really had feelings for her, what would that make him?

Jiaqi shook his head hard, trying to temporarily fling the image of his childhood sweetheart out of his mind. He slapped his cheeks, trying to pull himself together. But the moment he stopped, the image of that silver-haired loli popped back into his head.

Thinking about it like this, even though she was sharp-tongued, hadn’t Little Ya always been the one getting bullied by him? Even though her mouth never spared him, in practice she was actually pretty soft and timid…

‘No, what am I thinking?! Why do I keep thinking about her? There’s no way the two of us could ever become anything… I mess with her every day, so she should be pretty annoyed with me too.’

With that thought, Jiaqi slumped back down onto his desk, feeling dejected. He had a very clear understanding of the relationship between himself and Eiya. A guy bullying her like this all the time, honestly speaking, if it weren’t for the childhood sweetheart bond that was basically like siblings, it would already be good enough if she didn’t hate him. How could he possibly have the nerve to develop feelings for her?

“What’s wrong with you? Lovesick?”

A familiar voice came from the front. Jiaqi raised his head and saw that the silver-haired loli who slacked off all day had somehow already turned around. Both her hands and her head were resting on his desk. It looked like she’d been observing him for quite a while.

“W-W-W-What the hell? Lovesick my ass! You stupid loli, don’t talk nonsense!”

“No, I was just teasing… why are you so flustered?”

Seeing Jiaqi’s panicked reaction, the little Demon Lord was confused for a moment, then seemed to realize something and revealed a slightly dark, mischievous smile.

“Spit it out. Did you fall for some girl? Say it and let your bro help you analyze it, maybe give you some advice while we’re at it?”

Hearing lines like that coming out of the mouth of an ultra-cute loli, Jiaqi didn’t even know what to complain about anymore. Then again, this wasn’t the first time. He was already used to it…

“Bro my ass. Whether it’s me or Yuki, we’re both older than you, right? You stupid little sister…”

“Huh? Let me tell you, I’m very fierce, okay? A macho man like me calling people little brother is already me being generous. And you dare call me sister? You looking for a beating?”

Hearing that, Jiaqi expressionlessly sized up Eiru’s current appearance, then couldn’t help but snort out a laugh. Before the loli in front of him could explode, Yuki, who’d overheard their conversation, directly handed over a mirror and held it up in front of Eiru’s face.

“Stupid Yuki!”

Seeing her reflection in the mirror, Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s face instantly flushed red. In shame and rage, she immediately started flailing her little fists and pounding the chest of the person next to her.

“Next time she calls herself bro or macho man or whatever, just do what I did. Hand her a mirror.”

While enduring his girlfriend’s soft punches, Yuki said calmly. Reminders like ‘you’re a girl now, things are different’ got annoying when repeated too often, so he’d switched to this brand new method.

“Alright, stop messing around! The problem right now is Stupid Qi. Hurry up and tell me, did you fall for some girl or not!”

‘You’re the one messing around the most, aren’t you?’

Yuki complained internally, but didn’t bother saying it out loud. He also knew exactly what kind of mindset Jiaqi was in right now, but didn’t expose it. Instead, he put on an interested look, clearly intending to enjoy the show.

“Come on, say it, say it. Don’t look at me like this. I can give you some very valuable references and advice! Look, I’ve already got a wife, tons of experience in this area!”

‘You only have experience being picked up, don’t you? And you’re still acting all smug about it…’

Watching Eiru tug on Yuki’s clothes with a proud expression, Jiaqi felt he’d be better off just asking Yuki to theorycraft with him.

‘But then again… Yuki and Lu Brat… wait, doesn’t that mean he’s also eating the grass by the nest?’
