Demon King – Chapter 724 – Family Joy (Not Really)

Sitting in the classroom, Yuki rested his chin on one hand and looked at the silver-haired loli sleeping soundly beside him, the smile on his face completely impossible to suppress.

Today was clearly the first day of final exams, when everyone was doing their last-minute review sprint before heading to their respective exam rooms. Yet Yuki, calmly smiling there, and Eiru, seizing every second to catch up on sleep, stood out in the classroom like cranes among chickens.

“Ashi, what’re you grinning about… you’re that confident?”

Jiaqi lifted his head after staring at the textbook for a while and rubbing his eyes, finally noticing Yuki sitting there with a silly smile.

“Our thing… it worked out.”

Yuki kept the same pose with his face propped up, and when he heard Jiaqi’s question, the smile on his face only grew wider.

“Huh?”

The moment his mom asked that question back then, Yuki already knew that from then on, he could be openly together with Eiru. Honestly, right now, nothing made him happier than having his parents support his relationship.

“Even though I knew Mom would definitely end up liking Lu Brat, I really didn’t expect it to turn out like this…”

Scratching his head, she had been acting like there was absolutely no room for discussion just moments ago, and then in the blink of an eye she was already telling her to call her Mom. At least his dad was still holding a neutral stance of neither supporting nor opposing it, right? Ning Xin’s lightning-fast change in attitude was way beyond what Yuki had expected.

“I’ve said it before. I was never against you dating early. I was worried that dating early would affect your studies and delay your future.”

Gently rubbing the head of the silver-haired girl in front of her, who had already turned into a full-blown steam engine, Ning Xin naturally had no reason left to oppose things after understanding the full situation between the two of them.

“If you can manage not to be affected and even support each other’s growth, then forget opposing it. I fully support you.”

Looks like Dad helped Lu Brat speak up quite a bit… Yuki glanced at his father, who had a faint smile on his face, his eyes filled with gratitude.

“But Eiru’s situation, your father already told me about it. She was raised as a boy all along before, right? Dating is fine, but you, Li Yuki, don’t even think about taking advantage of the fact that she doesn’t understand these things. You need to show girls basic respect and courtesy.”

Ning Xin’s expression suddenly turned serious. Sitting on the sofa, she looked completely like a mother protecting her cub as she pulled the delicate and adorable silver-haired loli into her arms.

“You two aren’t old enough yet. You absolutely cannot do anything that crosses the line. Not even out of curiosity. And you too, Little Eiru, you need to be careful. Don’t let others take advantage of you so easily.”

“Huh? Um… are you talking about me?”

Recovering slightly from her steam-engine state, Her Majesty the Demon Lord finally managed to hear what everyone was talking about.

“Yes, I’m talking about you. I’ve already heard about your situation, so from now on, I’ll be educating you properly.”

“Huh? That’s really not necessary, is it? Um, Auntie, I think I’d rather—”

The little Demon Lord froze for a moment. Before she could finish her protest, a finger pressed against her lips, sealing off whatever she was about to say next.

“Still calling me Auntie? Didn’t I just say it. Come on, call me Mom.”

“Huh? Um…”

Thinking that this day would come sooner or later anyway, after twisting and hesitating for quite a while, the little Demon Lord clasped her fingers together on her lap and slowly spoke with a flushed face.

“Mom… Mommy?”

“Eh! Good girl! Such a good girl!”

Both hands immediately went to kneading that unbearably cute little face. Between the shy reaction and the soft, glutinous voice, Ning Xin felt a wave of maternal love surge through her, her heart practically melting.

“Um, Dad… why is Mom like this?”

Yuki nudged his dad’s arm with his elbow, feeling more confused than anything at this scene.

Even though his little girlfriend did have a terrifying ability to trigger protective instincts and affection in others, wasn’t his mom’s reaction a bit too exaggerated? This was supposed to be the first time she had seen her true form. Just from descriptions alone, it shouldn’t have reached this level, right?

“Because your mom and I, about some things from when we were kids… we’ve actually been looking for that girl for a very long time.”

Your mom even wanted to directly find a way to abduct her and turn her into a daughter after finding her. She even thoroughly researched adoption procedures…

Officer Li had a helpless look mixed into his smiling face. If his wife really did something like that, not to mention how he’d explain it to old friends, if they really became siblings, Yuki would definitely be the first one to jump out and object.

But honestly, the way things were now wasn’t bad either. A daughter-in-law could also count as a daughter. No need to deal with the hassle between two families. Aside from some issues that could be slowly corrected and her petite build, there really wasn’t much to nitpick.

Mischievous and adorable, yet extremely sensible. Having lived alone for many years also showed she had strong self-care abilities and wouldn’t trouble others in that regard.

She always prioritized others when things happened. Even though that could sometimes be a flaw, with his son watching over her, nothing major would go wrong.

Plus the irreplaceable position and bond the two of them held in each other’s hearts. If Officer Li had only maintained a neutral stance before, now he had to admit that he was very willing to help bring this young couple together.

“Guh?! Ugh…”

Perhaps Ning Xin’s technique was a bit rough and unpracticed. With her sensitive body, and having always enjoyed Yuki’s professional-level service, Her Majesty the Demon Lord inevitably felt a bit uncomfortable, letting out some dissatisfied sounds.

“Mom, that’s not how you rub her! Here under the chin, like this, press here and then scratch…”

Unable to watch his mom’s amateur technique any longer, Yuki jumped up excitedly and started teaching her hand-in-hand how to properly pat this silver-haired silly loli.

“Guh~ so comfy~”

With Yuki’s guidance, the little Demon Lord immediately felt much better, squinting her eyes as she began to enjoy it.

Even the wings and tail behind her started swaying back and forth, her hands braced on her thighs as she lifted her chin high. Right now, she looked exactly like a coquettish little kitten trying to seduce someone.

“Alright, now call Mommy again for me~”

“Mommy~”

“Eh~! Good girl~!”

—————

More than half an hour later, walking home, the little Demon Lord covered her face, seemingly mortified by her shameful performance at Yuki’s house.

“What was that… why did I call them Dad and Mom so easily…”

Her face burning red, others aside, but just recalling how she completely lost her mind and crazily acted cute in someone else’s parents’ arms… as a tough man, Eiru genuinely felt that her behavior just now was way too embarrassing.

Even though the feeling itself wasn’t unpleasant, it was so damn embarrassing, okay?! But then again, why did she actually feel kind of happy about it?

“So weird… but, heehee…”

Covering her mouth as she snickered, for some reason, the little Demon Lord felt that the happiness in her heart was completely impossible to hold back.

Perhaps what she had always longed for deep down was exactly this. Being able to curl up in the arms of adults who cared about her and were close enough, and freely release her childlike nature without restraint.
