Demon King – Chapter 720 – She Runs, He Chases, She Cannot Escape Even With Wings

Regret. What filled Yuki’s heart right now was pure regret. If he had known this would happen, he should never have just tossed the clothes there and ignored them. He should have either hidden them or washed them beforehand. Then his mom would not have discovered them at all.

If they had at least been soaking in water, his mother probably would not have been bored enough to pick them up and examine them. Since she had asked so directly, she had definitely noticed the size was off. There was no way to use his cousin as an excuse anymore.

“What’s going on here? I don’t remember your cousin having clothes like this. And there’s no way she could even fit into them…”

A faint red light flickered in her eyes as Yuki’s beloved mother came out of the bathroom holding the clothes and questioning him.

She had only gone in to casually wash her face, yet somehow she really did catch something suspicious. Recently, she had often heard that her son had been getting close to some girl. She had never found a chance to catch him in the act, but today she finally did.

At a glance, she noticed Yuki’s bedroom door was tightly shut, with two grown boys staying outside. What reason could there be for the bedroom door to be closed? Combined with the clothes in her hands that were clearly changed out of not too long ago, Yuki’s mother concluded that there had to be a fourth person in this house.

“Wait, Mom. Mom.”

Seeing his mother about to charge toward his room, Yuki rushed over to block her in panic, his mind desperately searching for a way out.

It’s over. Just wait for death. Lie flat and give up. Jiaqi, standing to the side, had already realized there was no salvaging the situation. He had often heard Eiru talk about how fiercely protective Yuki’s mom was of her child.

Right now, your options are either to say the clothes are yours. Wait, you can’t fit into them either. Then maybe claim it’s a collection hobby. Or just come clean. Other than that, there’s only the one method you really don’t want to use.

Jiaqi shot Yuki frantic looks. Somehow, Yuki actually understood what he was trying to say.

‘Bro, if you don’t want to die, just use me as a shield and say the one inside is my girlfriend.’

Yuki rejected that option without the slightest hesitation. Out of everything, the one thing he would never compromise on was his identity as Eiru’s boyfriend. Hiding things was one matter, but even if it were just verbal deception, he would never allow himself to hand his girlfriend over to someone else.

And honestly, compared to fooling his mom, Yuki was more worried about the girl inside. That shout just now definitely woke her up. Being startled awake with no one beside her, Yuki was afraid Eiru might panic, then driven by the urge to find him, sneak straight out of the room.

Seeing that her son was blocking her but could not come up with an explanation, Ning Xin, as the mother of this clever child, guessed a few things already. Then, while he was distracted thinking, she slipped past him and rushed to the bedroom door, twisting it open in one swift motion.

And then she froze. Because there really was no one inside. She looked left and right. The window was tightly shut, and the security bars were not decorative. There was no way anyone could have escaped through the window.

“See, Mom, you were just overthinking it.”

Yuki let out a breath of relief and put on a smiling face to placate his mother.

Looks like Lu brat’s reaction speed and comprehension were pretty solid. Just from hearing the noise outside, she had already reacted in time. Illusions really were useful.

“You got lucky this time. But you still need to give me an explanation for these clothes. There is definitely no one in our house who wears this. Explain clearly where they came from.”

“Maybe they belong to cousin Xueli’s friend? The two of them seemed to have gone out not long ago?”

Seeing the situation stabilize a bit, Jiaqi stepped up to help smooth things over. With him present, Ning Xin did not want to make her son lose too much face, so she reluctantly accepted the explanation.

“You little brat. I won’t pursue it today. But let me tell you this. If I catch you dating early, you know what’s going to happen.”

After throwing out that harsh warning, Ning Xin placed the clothes on the back of the sofa and prepared to head out to continue her errands.

“Yes yes yes, you won’t catch me.”

“What did you say?”

“I mean, I’ll put studying first. I won’t let things like this affect my life.”

Yuki straightened his posture and answered seriously. Satisfied, Ning Xin nodded, gave a few simple reminders, grabbed her handbag, and left.

“Holy shit, that was really dangerous. For a second I thought I was dead.”

The moment Ning Xin left, Yuki collapsed onto the sofa in relief.

If I get dealt with, that’s one thing. But Lu brat can’t leave me right now. If she really gets put under supervision, that would be a disaster.

And if Mom openly opposed or warned her in front of her, who knows. That stupid loli might start thinking about not causing trouble for others, then spiral into wild thoughts again.

“I caused you trouble again? Maybe I shouldn’t have come today?”

Just as that thought surfaced, a small silver-haired head popped up from behind the sofa.

‘See, I knew it.’

Yuki felt speechless. He reached out and rubbed the little head, making his stance clear through his actions.

“You got woken up, so hurry back and keep sleeping. Weren’t you really tired?”

“I’m okay, I guess. Compared to that, I’m more worried you’ll get torn apart by your mom because of me…”

Tilting her head, the little Demon Lord voiced her concern.

“That won’t happen. No matter what, I’m still her biological son. There’s no way she’d actually tear me apart. At most she’ll be angry for a bit, then it’ll pass. I know her too well.”

“Yeah yeah, his mom’s that protective. How could she tear Yuki apart? If anyone’s getting torn apart, it’d be you, Lu brat.”

Jiaqi’s words sent a chill straight down the Demon Lord’s spine. Thinking that Yuki’s mom might do a sudden return, she quickly said goodbye to Yuki and prepared to make a run for it.

“Be careful on the way back. Watch your safety.”

Considering that his mom probably thought the owner of the clothes would come back to retrieve them, Yuki agreed with his girlfriend. Letting her stay here any longer was way too risky.

After putting on her little boots, the little Demon Lord turned back and hugged Yuki, thoroughly tormenting the poor single dog present. Then, taking advantage of the lack of people around, she opened the door and bolted.

‘I’m out, I’m out, before I cause trouble for Stupid Yuki.’

Thinking this, and glancing at the elevator floor indicator, Eiru did not even dare take the elevator. She chose to flee down the stairs instead.

The moment she entered the stairwell landing, a pair of merciless iron hands clamped down on her head from both sides. At the same time, a pair of eyes filled with killing intent reflected in the Demon Lord’s pupils.

“Little brat, I’ve caught you this time. A bunch of kids still want to fight an adult?”
