Demon King – Chapter 743 – The Little Demon Lord Who Needed Company

The students were on vacation, but working adults still had to grind away. Ei Yuan, who was on a business trip out of town, got up early in the morning, washed up, and prepared to head out to handle matters.

While sitting in the car on the way to his destination, Ei Yuan was on the phone with his assistant, going over various key points and instructions.

After finally finishing everything that needed to be emphasized, he had just put down his phone, ready to take a short nap in the car. Before he could even slip the phone into his pocket, it suddenly rang again.

Wondering what it was this time, already accustomed to being buried in work, Ei Yuan sighed. But when he lowered his head and saw the caller ID, the fatigue and helplessness on his face instantly vanished. He immediately picked up the call and pressed it to his ear.

“Hello… Dad…”

A slightly childish voice came from the other end of the phone, carrying a strangely healing quality.

“Ah, Little Lu. What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

It was rare for his daughter to take the initiative to call him. The father’s face filled with an uncontrollable smile. Full of guilt toward his eldest daughter, he also wondered whether the child back home had run into some kind of difficulty.

“It’s nothing… I just wanted to ask if you’re still working right now.”

“Yes. Dad’s about to inspect the branch office here… and then I’m meeting with some clients to talk business.”

“I see… then it’s nothing. Sorry to bother you.”

Her tone was polite, yet carried a trace of distance. Ei Yuan felt that his daughter’s voice held a hint of hesitation. He couldn’t help but wonder if she was still afraid of him even now…

“If there’s anything, you can tell Dad directly. You don’t have to be afraid. Is your living allowance not enough? I can transfer more to you right away…”

“No need. It’s enough. I just wanted to ask when you’re coming back. If it’s inconvenient, I won’t trouble you.”

For some reason, Ei Yuan felt a faint sense of loneliness and disappointment in her voice. He understood that the child still harbored some resistance toward him, but a father’s instinct told him that Eiru was seeking something from him, yet lacked the courage to say it.

“So what exactly is it? Don’t make Dad worry. Just say it. I’ll definitely think of a solution.”

“It’s nothing much. Uncle Yuze asked me to come for a physical examination today…”

Early in the morning, following the address given by Doctor Yuze, the little Demon Lord arrived at her destination. She immediately felt that something about the place where she was supposed to undergo the physical examination was… off.

From the layout, it was clearly newly renovated. The overall style felt strangely subtle to her. Rather than a hospital clinic, it looked more like a small research center.

After entering, she noticed there were no outside patients. Everyone inside looked busy. They were either adjusting and testing various instruments or comparing unknown sets of data on their computers.

Why does it feel like this place was set up specifically for me?

With that strong sense of déjà vu in her heart, Her Majesty the Demon Lord looked around, searching for a familiar figure. Soon, her father’s old friend walked out from inside and warmly received her.

“You came alone? No one accompanied you?”

Seeing the little girl standing there by herself, Doctor Yuze seemed somewhat surprised that she had come alone.

“Isn’t it just a physical exam? I’m not a child. It’s not like I need someone to accompany me for everything.”

“It is technically a physical exam. But it’s quite different from the ones you’ve had before… so I’d still recommend having your parents come with you.”

Doctor Yuze looked troubled. He truly hadn’t expected the girl to come alone. Today’s examination was rather special. He was worried whether the child might feel nervous or afraid. No matter what, this little demon’s psychological well-being was also within their scope of responsibility.

Squatting down, Doctor Yuze patiently explained the situation to the girl in front of him. Due to previous approval processes and equipment issues, they hadn’t had the proper specialized instruments prepared. They had only conducted basic examinations on her before.

Moreover, those assessments had been done according to human standards. The conclusions were not particularly rigorous. Eiru was not human by nature, so they needed to establish a health evaluation standard tailored specifically to her.

So the Demon Lord’s intuition was correct. This wasn’t a hospital or clinic. It was a small research facility set up specifically for her.

It wasn’t just Doctor Yuze’s medical team. There were also several experts with significant achievements in biology. All these big names were gathered here to conduct comprehensive examinations and research on Eiru, in order to formulate her own personalized health standards.

“So I’m going to be a lab rat? An experiment subject for you?”

Hearing this, the little Demon Lord genuinely began to panic.

‘Holy shit, this sounds terrifying. Comprehensive research and all that… they’re not going to perform surgery on me or even dissect me, right?’

“No, no experiments like that. At most we’ll take a small sample of your tissue cells for research. It won’t harm you.”

Doctor Yuze smiled awkwardly. No matter what, she was still a child. It was normal for her to feel nervous and scared.

That was exactly why he hadn’t recommended that this pitiful little girl come alone. Besides, nervousness could also affect the examination results. Whether from a professional standpoint or a personal one, he hoped at least someone, family or friend, could accompany Eiru.

“Why not call your parents? See if they can come back to accompany you? Uncle really doesn’t recommend you going through the examination alone.”

After thinking for a while, the little Demon Lord had to admit that she was genuinely a little scared now. So she accepted the suggestion, took out her phone, and made a call to her father, one she hadn’t been particularly willing to make in the first place…

“Little Li, turn the car around. We’re going to the airport. Right now!”

After hearing the explanation from the other end, Ei Yuan immediately instructed the driver to change direction.

“President Ei, aren’t we going to the branch office? You still have business to—”

“Let them handle it themselves! Don’t make me deal with everything! My daughter has something going on. I need to get back right now!”

After roaring that out, Ei Yuan picked up the phone again and spoke in a gentle tone to comfort his daughter on the other end.

“Don’t be afraid. Dad will figure something out. I’ll find a way to get back as soon as possible.”

“You won’t make it in time… planes aren’t that fast.”

The Demon Lord sighed. From the very beginning, she hadn’t expected her father, who was still out of town, to make it back in time anyway…
