Demon King – Chapter 748 – Reverse Fishing

“Just wander around. No need to deliberately look for her. When fate arrives, you’ll naturally run into her.”

Hearing Eiru’s fortune-teller-level mystical nonsense, Hui Jiaqi was left completely confused and dumbfounded.

‘She’s your biological little sister. Aren’t you the one who dragged me here to handle this? How are you this calm about it? Don’t tell me you actually have no idea where she is either!’

With no other choice, Hui Jiaqi could only roam the streets aimlessly. Luckily, he was free today and had nothing to do. His parents had even been nagging him to go out more anyway. Not that he could go back home looking like this.

He wandered until lunchtime, grabbed something to eat outside, then kept wandering. Before he knew it, it was already afternoon. The so-called fate that that bratty loli mentioned still hadn’t appeared. He hadn’t even caught a glimpse of Eiya.

At this point, Hui Jiaqi was starting to suspect that that mischievous loli had colluded with his parents and used this excuse to kick him out for a walk.

‘You told me to find Eiya. Where is she? Where?!’

Meanwhile, on the other side, the little Demon Lord had already run off to Yuki’s house, sitting primly on the sofa with her hands resting between her knees.

Ning Xin had taken time off during work hours to come keep her daughter company, so she didn’t have anything else to do at the moment. After dropping the two kids off at home, she went back to continue working.

You think the next stretch of time would be a sweet little two-person world? How naïve. Afraid that her son might take advantage of someone else’s daughter, how could Ning Xin possibly be so carefree as to leave this young couple alone together?

Tilting her head, Eiru watched Yuki tutoring his cousin on her homework. Seeing someone’s blood pressure skyrocketing like that, Her Majesty the Demon Lord felt this was way more entertaining than any soap opera.

It was precisely because Xueli was home that Ning Xin dared to leave and return to work. Before leaving, she had even specifically instructed Xueli to keep an eye on her cousin. Don’t let him, while the adults aren’t around, fail to restrain his little thoughts and make a move on a certain loli.

“Bro, how about this? You go get all lovey-dovey with her and let me off the hook for this homework. Win-win, right?”

Staring at the workbook that looked like a heavenly scripture to her, Xueli, in an attempt to escape this terrifying ocean of knowledge, immediately pulled a move that would have sent Ning Xin’s blood pressure through the roof.

‘What? Watch him? Was that even a thing? They’re boyfriend and girlfriend, and the parents already approved. Why should I bother controlling them?’

But Yuki didn’t immediately fall for the temptation. Sure, he wanted to be lovey-dovey with his girlfriend, but there was time for that anytime. Right now, his cousin’s future was looking dire.

“Little sis, if you keep slacking like this, what are you gonna do about the college entrance exam?”

Even though the person involved didn’t care, Yuki still wanted to try pulling this girl back. He couldn’t control other people slacking off and didn’t care to, but Xueli was still his cousin.

As for why he was letting his clearly more tutoring-capable girlfriend sit there watching the show, on one hand, Xueli wasn’t really familiar with Eiru. On the other hand, Her Majesty the Demon Lord simply didn’t want to take on such exhausting work.

If someone doesn’t want to learn, no amount of tutoring helps. Forcibly stuffing knowledge into her won’t work either. The little Demon Lord declared that her teaching methods only worked on those who actually wanted to study. Xueli was Yuki’s problem to handle.

“Didn’t I just teach you this problem?! It’s just different numbers! It’s the original question, little sis! What’s wrong with you?!”

Watching Yuki’s blood pressure explode, Her Majesty the Demon Lord swayed her head happily, enjoying the show, when the phone beside her suddenly rang.

“Hm? An unfamiliar number? Doesn’t look like a customer service call either. You two keep torturing each other. I’ll take this first.”

Taking the phone to the balcony, spending two or three seconds confirming in her mind that it was indeed an unknown number, the little Demon Lord answered the call.

“Hello? Is this little sister Eiru? You have a younger sister called Eiya, right? There are some matters regarding her that we think we need to discuss with you.”

‘Hm? Something about Eiya?’

The flippant voice on the other end made Eiru frown.

If this were back when she had to constantly cast suggestions and illusions to hide her identity, stuck in a perpetual nerfed state, she probably would have panicked and immediately asked what was going on.

But now she no longer needed to conceal herself or devote her mind to so many other things. The big cat was no longer occupied. The little Demon Lord wasn’t about to fall for such low-level tricks again.

The first thing she did upon hearing that was sense the protective measures she had placed on Eiya’s pendant. After confirming that her safeguards hadn’t been triggered, Her Majesty the Demon Lord couldn’t help but reveal a wicked smile.

“Eh?! What happened to Eiya? Did something happen to her? Did she cause trouble on your side?”

Putting on a panicked tone and saying lines that even she found bizarre, the little Demon Lord covered her mouth to suppress laughter, waiting for the response.

“It’s not exactly trouble. It’s just hard to explain over the phone. If possible, we’d like to ask you to come over and talk in person.”

“Okay, okay! I’ll head over right now! Just tell me the location and I’ll be there!”

Hanging up, Eiru jogged back into the room, ran behind Yuki, who was still in the middle of his Führer-style roaring, and suddenly pounced onto his back, covering his eyes with her hands.

“Lu Brat? What’s wrong?”

Yuki, who had been roaring moments ago, instantly turned gentle as if flipping a switch. The affectionate look made black lines crawl across Xueli’s forehead.

“I’m heading out for a bit. Some idiots are trying to use Eiya as bait. I’m going to drag them into the river.”

Yuki smiled. From her tone alone, he could tell this girl already had her own mischievous plan.

“Be careful. Staying for dinner tonight?”

In this state, there was no chance of Lu brat flipping the car. Letting her go cause some trouble wasn’t an issue. Thinking this, Yuki agreed to his girlfriend’s plan of pretending to be prey for some reverse fishing.

“Mm-hmm. Save me a portion!”

She nodded, then rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment before adding.

“I might bring Eiya. Maybe also a very stupid lolicon. So make that two extra portions.”

“Even though I know you’re not talking about me, that description is very easy to misunderstand.”

—————

“She took the bait?”

“She took it! We’re gonna have a great time this round!”

After hanging up, several boys in a narrow alley laughed lewdly, as if their plan had already completely succeeded.

“Fuck, that guy Agui only knows how to chase her little sister and even warned us not to touch either of them before him. He just wants to eat first and then let us play with the leftovers, right?”

“He won’t get his way this time. Look at how cowardly he is.”

“Anyway, he’s busy focusing on the little sister and doesn’t have time to worry about this side. The older sister is ours!”
