Demon King – Chapter 722 – Yuki Calls for Backup

Although not every family is like this, the vast majority of parents and children are unable to reach anything resembling true consensus when their opinions clash.

As harsh as it may sound, elders and juniors, the older and the younger, are inherently unable to communicate on a truly equal platform.

If it is something neither side understands, they may ask each other for advice. But when both sides already have their own sets of views, then to be honest, most parents will use their status and so-called life experience to apply pressure on their children. It is not a matter of who is right or wrong. It can only be said that this is an age gap that is very hard to cross.

If this had been Yuki from a few years ago, hot-blooded and impulsive, he probably would have already started arguing with his mom by now. But the current him was very clear that doing so would not solve anything, and would only make things more troublesome.

Compared to meaningless arguments, Yuki was now more inclined to think about effective solutions. And his clever brain quickly came up with a way to deal with the current situation. While listening to his mother’s machine-gun-like lecture, one of his hands started frantically operating his phone behind his back.

At the end of the day, as a junior, it was difficult for him to persuade elders, fundamentally because everyone could not stand on an equal platform to communicate. Since that was the case, then all he needed to do was find someone who could talk to her on equal footing.

At the same time, Officer Li had just finished handing over his work at the police station. With some free time on his hands, he was about to take a short break when he saw a text message from his son.

‘Dad, trouble! SOS!’

Looking at this rather baffling message, Officer Li figured his son should be at home studying at this hour. But he also knew Yuki’s temperament. If it were not real trouble, he would not deliberately disturb him.

It just so happened that he had nothing urgent at hand, so Officer Li asked the station for a short leave, drove back home, and planned to see what exactly was going on.

Opening the door, the moment three silver-haired heads in the living room came into view, Officer Li instantly understood the situation. Even so, steady as he was, he still felt a headache coming on from this troublesome scene.

“Come here, Xin.”

As Yuki’s biological father, Officer Li could naturally guess what kind of scheme that brat was up to, so he spoke up and interrupted his wife’s lecturing of the kids.

Shooting Yuki a glare, Ning Xin stood up and followed Officer Li into their bedroom. Before leaving, she did not forget to warn Yuki to not get any funny ideas about making a move on that loli in the living room while they were gone.

“Stupid Yuki, is this really okay?”

The moment the two of them entered the room, the little Demon Lord immediately burrowed into Yuki’s arms and sat down on his lap.

“Relax, my dad will take care of it.”

Yuki smiled, signaling that there was nothing to worry about. Having an elder at home who could communicate and understand him was just that convenient. When faced with someone impossible to communicate with, just let him step in and explain everything.

And after getting scolded like that, Yuki was actually even happier inside. Because judging from his mother’s attitude, he felt that things between him and the loli in his arms were actually more likely to work out.

As mentioned before, Yuki’s mom was an extremely overprotective mother. In order to prevent him from early romance, any girl who got too close to him would only receive her rejection and disgust.

And yet Ning Xin, in today’s incident, even after learning that the two of them had been dating for quite some time, had kept her fire aimed almost entirely at him. Aside from a few lines in the middle where she criticized both of them together, she had barely shown any intention of blaming Eiru.

“Looks like my mom actually likes you quite a bit, Lu brat…”

To be honest, the moment Yuki saw Ning Xin holding Eiru’s hand and walking into the house, he already felt that this matter was not going to be that difficult to handle. Not to mention that he had also noticed how every time his mother looked at the loli in his arms, there was a hint of tenderness hidden in her eyes.

“What nonsense are you spouting? Your mom hates me the most, okay? Don’t forget before, every time I came to your house I had to hide from her. She couldn’t wait to kick me out!”

Thinking about the fierce attitude she had always shown toward her, the little Demon Lord could not help but shiver. She was absolutely terrified of Yuki’s mom.

Her favorability toward her had already been in the negatives to begin with. Now add on the crime of seducing her son and dating him for a long time, and she even felt like she might not be able to walk out of this house in one piece.

“It’s fine. Trust me…”

Unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, Yuki ignored his mother’s warning, tightened his arms around the girl in his embrace, and even pressed his face against hers, rubbing his cheek against her soft little face.

“We’ll be together… and we’ll be together openly…”

As he spoke, Yuki really could not hold back anymore. He lowered his head and planted a deep kiss on the exquisite little beauty in his arms.

“There are some things I think it’s about time you knew. But honestly, I only found out myself not too long ago. I was busy, so I never told you.”

Inside the room, Yuki’s parents were discussing their child. Ning Xin could not possibly fail to see that her husband was preparing to speak up for the two kids outside, and she immediately expressed her strong opposition to their early romance.

At this point, any other reasoning was meaningless. Seeing that the timing was just right, Officer Li decided to bring out some real substance and try to persuade his wife from the standpoint of facts.

“Whatever you say is useless. How old are they? Is this the time for romance? At this age, what matters is studying. Studying!”

“Stop. I’m not talking about that right now.”

Officer Li raised a hand for silence. His next sentence made the strong-willed mother freeze on the spot.

“Our son attempted suicide once back in middle school. You didn’t know about that, did you?”

“You… you’re joking with me, right? How could Little Ki do something like that? You’re joking, right?”

Clearly, this explosive revelation scared this doting mother badly. And although she said that out loud, Ning Xin also knew her husband was not the kind of person who liked joking around.

“No, I’m calling him in right now!”

Seeing the serious expression on his face, Ning Xin panicked inside and turned to go out, intending to call her son in to ask him directly.

“Don’t rush.”

Officer Li grabbed his wife’s arm.

“Our son’s best buddy, Eiru. You know him, right?”

“Why are you bringing him up now? That brat who’s always hanging around Little Ki trying to lead him astray. What’s there to talk about?”

“It’s very necessary. Do you know why those two get along so well, and why Yuki has always spoken up for him?”

“Because?”

To be honest, Ning Xin had never really thought about this question. In her eyes, friendships between boys did not need any special reason. But now that he brought it up, she could not help but grow curious.

“Because that suicide attempt of Yuki’s was stopped by Eiru. In other words, without Eiru, the two of us would have already lost our only son…”
