Demon King – Chapter 717 – Jiaqi Tries to Ask for Advice

The final weekend before the final exams had arrived. Everyone was nervously preparing and revising, and as for our little Demon Lord, she naturally was… absolutely not going to revise along with them.

Sitting on the sofa and petting cats, with one big and one small cat snuggled up on either side of her, Her Majesty the Demon Lord at this moment gave off a rather strong impression of being waited on by cats in the eyes of others.

“Huh, Little Ya, you’re going out to have fun?”

Catching sight of her younger sister at the door changing her shoes and clearly about to head out, the little Demon Lord could not help but sigh inwardly. Being on break really was great.

“Yeah, I made plans to go out and walk around with someone.”

“A friend? Could it be that Wulong loli?”

“Not really a friend, just someone I know… and it’s not Wulong loli.”

After thinking it over, Her Majesty the Demon Lord decided not to ask too much. She was a bit worried about Eiya’s safety, but Eiru was not the type like their parents who would lock someone inside and forbid them from going out.

Besides, Eiya had insurance she herself had properly set up, so letting her go out and have some fun was not a bad thing. And honestly, the fact that she could go out and hang with friends at all made Eiru, as her bro… sister, happy more than anything.

“Sis, do you want to come with me?”

After putting on her little boots, Eiya tiptoed and turned back to invite her sister.

“No no, finals are coming up. You can’t keep running around outside, you still need to pay attention to your grades.”

‘Who are you fooling…’

Eiya rolled her eyes at her sister, secretly impressed by her ability to spout nonsense with a straight face. She did not bother exposing her though. After all, grades were never an issue for her sister in the first place.

“Alright! Then it’s settled, time to go pay attention to my grades!”

After Eiya left, Her Majesty the Demon Lord suddenly sprang up from the sofa, her whole body radiating the vigor of hard work and determination.

Then in the very next second, she flopped right back down onto the sofa with a plop, hugging the two cats and yawning as she returned to her lazy salted-fish state.

“Anyway, it’s all ridiculously easy stuff, so I’ve already paid attention to it.”

Not long before that, Jiaqi had also made a rare visit to Yuki’s place. Sensing something, he seemed to want to consult Yuki about something.

“What an honor, what an honor. What wind blew you over here? Not revising anymore? Lu Brat’s slacking-off revision method isn’t something the two of us should be copying.”

Yuki was genuinely surprised by Jiaqi’s visit. At a time like this, other than those who had given up completely or those who were outright cheating, everyone should be revising, right? Could it be that he came to exchange study tips with me?

The last one who had run over to ask him about effective ways to improve grades was Ziyu. Being almost at the very bottom of the honor class, he really was under immense pressure at times like this.

When grades reached their level, to be honest Yuki did not really know how to teach anymore. At most, he could help those in the mid to lower range. Feeling that his own ability was limited, he very decisively dumped the responsibility onto his little girlfriend. After all, do not forget that as the grade’s number one, he himself had been taught by Eiru.

Back then, Eiru was still living in Dorm 1503. Loving to mess around, she directly suggested that Ziyu put his textbooks and summary outlines under his head while sleeping at night.

“As long as you do this every night, knowledge will seep from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration!”

Osmotic revision method, huh… Yuki was speechless, but he did not bother saying anything, just treating it as a joke from that loli.

Then the cursed thing was that Ziyu’s grades really did improve noticeably. When Yuki later dragged Eiru over to ask her about it, her answer nearly shattered his worldview.

“Huh? Because I was too lazy to teach him, so I converted the knowledge into information pheromones carried by magic, then stuffed them into his textbooks and outlines so he could sleep on them at night… Didn’t I say it would seep from high concentration to low concentration?”

‘How was I supposed to know you were serious?! You can really do that kind of thing?! What’s next, are you going to pull out some memory bread or something? Cheating isn’t supposed to work like this, is it?’

While Yuki was standing there dumbfounded, the little Demon Lord took out several packs of snacks in front of him and then said something even more outrageous.

“Of course, you could also put these into his food and have him eat them. That works about the same too.”

You really do have memory bread?!!

“If it’s about revising, I suggest you look for Lu Brat. Seriously, her ridiculous magic stuff just makes all effort feel like a joke.”

Back in the present, Yuki scratched his head and suggested that Jiaqi go ask that silver-haired girl about studying. Honestly, because it was so convenient, he had more than once felt tempted to just give up and let her stuff knowledge straight into his head.

But he wanted to stand by her side and become a man she could rely on. Driven by that thought, Yuki did not allow himself to easily compromise on something like that. He wanted to become someone worthy of Eiru through his own effort, not someone who only knew how to rely on her abilities whenever problems came up.

“No, no, I really don’t have any mood to study right now… I’m seriously about to be annoyed to death.”

After getting Yuki’s permission, Jiaqi sat down at the edge of his bed, holding his head as he complained.

“And then I thought of you and Lu Brat’s situation. I feel like the problem I’m facing now is very similar to what you ran into back then.”

“So what exactly is it?”

“Yuki…”

Jiaqi paused and organized his words.

“Is the grass right next to the nest tasty?”

“Huh?”

“Ah, let me put it another way. I mean… what does it feel like to eat the grass right next to the nest? Doesn’t it weigh on your conscience?”

He gestured with both hands, then felt like he was somehow making it sound even worse.

“No, what the hell are you talking about? Why can’t I understand you? You’re not saying that Lu and I…”

With the limited information available, Yuki could only half-interpret Jiaqi’s words. Before his brain could fully process it, a small hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.

“What are you talking about, what are you talking about?! What grass next to the nest? Are you talking about how I hooked this Stupid Yuki?”

“Where the hell did you pop out from?!”

The sudden appearance of the silver-haired loli scared Jiaqi half to death. It was his first time encountering a situation like this.

‘Shit, did she figure out that I might be trying to chase her sister? No, wait, she’s pretty dumb about this kind of thing. She probably didn’t catch on.’

“Ah, Lu Brat has my house key. On weekends, if she’s bored, and doesn’t find me in the dorm, sometimes she’ll just sneak over like this.”

Rubbing the loli’s head beside him helplessly, Yuki explained to the visibly shaken Jiaqi.

“So, Stupid Qi, what do you mean by eating the grass next to the nest? Is it that the girl you like is in a similar situation to us, so you’re asking me how I chased Stupid Yuki?”

Flipping around and sitting directly on Yuki’s lap, the little Demon Lord swung her legs wrapped in black pantyhose, making it impossible for Yuki’s gaze to move away from them.

Her gossip instincts suddenly ignited. While thinking about how to describe the story between herself and Yuki to Jiaqi, Her Majesty the Demon Lord also sifted through the girls around Jiaqi who fit similar conditions…

Since it was grass next to the nest, that meant a girl with an extremely close relationship, someone that even Stupid Qi would feel burdened pursuing… As she kept thinking, the smile on the little Demon Lord’s face gradually disappeared.

“Hui Jiaqi… you’re not talking about my little sister, are you?”
