Demon King – Chapter 763 – Laying Low

Since the research had only just begun, the frequency of medical checkups was relatively high during this initial period. It had only been a week, and Her Majesty the Demon Lord was summoned again by Doctor Su Yuze.

This time, however, Ning Xin accompanied her the entire way, so the little Demon Lord wasn’t nearly as flustered. After smoothly completing the examination, the group sat down once more to listen to Doctor Su Yuze’s summary report.

The conclusion was simple. Although Eiru was not someone who would never fall ill, due to certain special factors, her self-healing ability far surpassed that of ordinary people.

But rather than calling it self-healing, it was more accurate to call it restoration. It was as if Eiru’s body had a fixed standard state. Once any change occurred, it would consume mana to restore itself back to that standard.

Whether it was injury or illness, even small matters like cutting her hair short or dyeing it, her body would treat it as an abnormal change and automatically consume mana to revert to its original state.

To put it in simpler terms, Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s body had a save file stored. No matter what changes occurred, her body would automatically reload that save and restore itself. Of course, the speed depended on many factors, including the amount of mana available and the extent of the restoration required.

“But more importantly… you’ve probably seen her various strange abilities, right? The most typical one would be that monstrous strength triggered by mana.”

“If she falls ill or gets injured, because her body will automatically call upon mana to heal… all her abilities will be weakened. In serious cases, she may temporarily lose them entirely and be no different from an ordinary girl.”

The implication was obvious. Doctor Su Yuze was reminding Ning Xin and Yuki to keep a close eye on this child and not let her recklessly court death for no reason. These extraordinary abilities were her best and final line of defense. With her personality, even a temporary loss of power would undoubtedly put her in danger.

As for the fact that Eiru’s body was still in a state of gradual weakening, Doctor Su Yuze didn’t mention it to the two of them. They hadn’t fully understood the cause yet. Giving careless advice might produce the opposite effect, and her self-healing ability had slowed the rate of decline anyway. For now, he could only continue observing.

Of course, the little Demon Lord herself knew about it. Doctor Su Yuze had definitely told her. She simply didn’t take it seriously. As her memories continued to recover, she had also recalled a great deal of inherited knowledge from the demon race.

She was very certain that she was the only demon left in the world. And the immortality possessed by every past Demon Lord gave her enormous confidence.

She couldn’t die. She could recklessly court death all she wanted and not be afraid.

As long as the next Demon Lord had not been born, the Abyssal Amber would do everything in its power to preserve the life of the current one. Not to mention that Eiru’s body was now directly formed from that massive blue crystal.

With her HP lock cheat activated, whether she fell ill or continued to weaken, there was no real threat to her life. As long as she didn’t suffer complete bodily destruction, she would always cling to a final breath and absolutely would not kick the bucket.

After the checkup, Ning Xin drove her home. The moment Her Majesty the Demon Lord stepped through the door, she was greeted with the bizarre sight of her younger sister pinned to the ground by a large cat, unable to even crawl.

“…So, what did you do this time?”

“Wait, sis? Your first reaction is that I did something? Shouldn’t you be wondering what the cat did?”

Faced with her sister’s lack of trust, Eiya wore a deeply wounded expression. Then Hulu suddenly popped out from who knew where, snatched a small cooking ladle from Eiya’s hand, and carried it over to Eiru.

“Oh. You snuck into the kitchen… and got caught by Gulu.”

Seeing the ladle, the little Demon Lord immediately understood. No wonder the usually well-behaved big cat had suddenly subdued Eiya. It was for the sake of its own survival.

Ever since moving here, the two cats’ meals had changed from canned food and raw meat to cat meals personally prepared by the little Demon Lord. So the two cats also knew that if Eiya was allowed into the kitchen, the meal they ate might very well be their last.

“Forget it. I won’t bother scolding you. There’s a reason you’re not allowed in the kitchen.”

Waving her hand dismissively, Eiru let off Eiya, whose face was full of embarrassment. She was in a good mood today and didn’t plan on making an issue out of her attempt to enter the kitchen.

“By the way, Dad and Mom are coming back tomorrow. If there’s anything you want to do, you’d better hurry up. Once they’re back, we won’t be as free.”

Sure enough, the moment she heard that, Eiya’s expression changed.

Perhaps out of guilt or something similar, their peculiar parents didn’t dare and didn’t really need to interfere much with their eldest daughter. But she, the younger one, was a different story.

Although she had been doted on since childhood, the way she was managed was absurdly strict. Leaving aside everything else, the rule that she wasn’t allowed to go out without accompaniment alone gave Eiya a massive headache.

“How about you take me to stay at Brother Yuki’s house, sis? I’m kind of scared…”

Honestly, when you raise two daughters to the point where both of them want to hide from you, that’s really something. Should it be called tragic, or just well-deserved?

“…You really are a little genius.”

The little Demon Lord was speechless.

“Putting aside whether there are enough rooms, how exactly did you manage to say you want to stay at your sister-in-law’s house?”

“Isn’t he my brother-in-law?”

“It’s sister-in-law! I’m your brother! A manly man! He’s my wife, so he’s your sister-in-law!”

“Yes, yes…”

“Don’t brush me off! But since you want to avoid them, why not stay at Stupid Qi’s house? If it’s there, no one would really say anything, right?”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord exploded in anger for a moment, then quickly regained her composure and offered that suggestion.

“Seriously, sis? I’m your biological sister and you’re trying to sell me off to another man?”

“Stop saying weird things, thank you! And who was it that used to follow him around as a kid, calling him ‘big brother’ sweetly over and over?”

“Ahhh! Stop talking!”

Suddenly having her embarrassing childhood history exposed, Eiya’s face flushed red like an apple. She waved both hands frantically to stop her sister from continuing.

As for going to Jiaqi’s house to lay low for a while, it wasn’t as if she hadn’t considered it.

After all, the two families were close. That side would welcome her, and her own family wouldn’t say much either. As people often joked, anyone who didn’t know better might think the two of them had an arranged childhood engagement.

But for some reason, Jiaqi’s inexplicable sentence that day kept lingering in her heart.

Every time she recalled that scene, Eiya felt her heart pounding wildly. She had no idea what was going on.

So for a period afterward, although she deliberately teased him in a playful way, deep down she truly didn’t know how to face her childhood playmate.

At least until she figured things out and adjusted her emotions, she really didn’t dare to get too close to Jiaqi.

Let alone move into his house.
