Demon King – Chapter 776 – What Did You Do? Nothing at All

No matter how unwilling she was, in the end Eiya still could not escape disaster. Like a little chick being grabbed, she was carried off by her parents.

However, regarding her running to a boy’s house in the middle of the night, Ei Yuan and Liu Wan did not really scold her. Instead, they coaxed her home in a tone meant for comforting a child.

Things like your sister keeps cats at home, going back won’t be boring and there’s plenty to play with, Dad and Mom won’t be leaving for a while and can stay with you girls, and so on.

Being spoken to so gently, Eiya felt too embarrassed to keep acting spoiled and stubbornly staying. In that sense of being soft rather than hard, she really did resemble her sister.

And on a very distant rooftop, a certain silver-haired couple were forming circles with their hands like binoculars, using Eiru’s little magic to spectate like gossip-hungry bystanders.

“What’s this? You were saying it’s inappropriate and impolite and you didn’t want to look, but Stupid Yuki, your body’s pretty honest.”

“Wasn’t it you pressing my head down and making me look? And that’s it? Nothing strange even happened. They just picked her up and went home normally, right?”

Hearing Yuki’s words, the little Demon Lord’s lips curled slightly.

‘Naive child. Do you really think my parents are the type to just let it go that easily?’

Down below, after Eiya plopped herself into the back seat of her dad’s car, she suddenly realized something.

‘Crap. I fell for it.’

Because they were at someone else’s house, first for the sake of face, and second to spare her dignity, scolding a child was generally not something done in front of others.

And most parents had that classic mindset. Other people’s kids are never the problem. If something goes wrong, it must be my kid.

Ei Yuan had been away on business for years, so Eiru and Eiya did not understand him that well. But at least the sisters were certain that their mom definitely had that classic parental thought process.

“Eiya.”

Sure enough, just as the silver-haired loli realized she had been tricked, her mother sitting in the front seat with a darkened expression spoke.

“Eh?!”

Eiya nearly jumped from guilt. A bad premonition rose in her heart, and Liu Wan’s next words confirmed it.

“I don’t recall ever teaching you to run to someone else’s house in the middle of the night. And a boy’s house at that.”

That was to avoid you, Eiya grumbled inwardly. But knowing she was indeed at fault, she did not dare say a single word.

“Hey, don’t put it so harshly. How old is Little Ya anyway?”

Ei Yuan, who was driving, stopped his wife’s subtle sharpness.

“It’s a good thing that the two of them get along. We can just guide them slowly. Don’t always assume the worst.”

“Why do you always take their side? Little Lu or Little Ya, aren’t you afraid of spoiling them rotten?”

Liu Wan said unhappily.

“And she’s already fifteen. Not little anymore. You understand the idea of boys and girls being different, right? Running to a boy’s house in the middle of the night. What does that look like if people hear about it?”

“Then don’t let people hear about it.”

Ei Yuan laughed awkwardly.

“Jiaqi isn’t an outsider, right? And they also said it themselves. Two kids living in such a big house will inevitably feel scared. That’s on us.”

“Then why not go somewhere else? She had to run to a boy’s house…”

Seemingly moved by Ei Yuan’s words, Liu Wan’s tone was no longer as cold and rigid as before. But this daughter’s behavior that looked suspiciously like offering herself still gave her a massive headache.

“Little Ya, tell Mom the truth. What do you think of your Brother Jiaqi now? Why didn’t you stay with your sister and instead run to him?”

‘Isn’t that obvious? My sister went to find her future brother-in-law. Was I supposed to go be a third wheel?’

Eiya complained inwardly, but seeing that her parents still did not know what kind of situation her sister was in, she obviously would not betray Eiru.

“Because I just get along best with Brother Jiaqi, I guess? As for what I think of him. He’s a big brother I can play with and occasionally bully?”

Still clueless about romance, Eiya naturally did not have that kind of feeling toward Jiaqi. She answered honestly. In her heart, aside from Eiru, Jiaqi was indeed her closest playmate.

What? You say Eiya clearly understands her sister’s relationship and even has her own opinions, so how could she be clueless in this area?

Watching others fall in love and falling in love yourself are two completely different things.

It was like watching a food show. The dishes on screen come with all sorts of descriptions. You can imagine the flavors, but it will never be the same as actually tasting it.

Though no one knew what Jiaqi would feel hearing those words, the couple acting like paparazzi in the distance felt a kind of anger at his lack of initiative.

“He’s so useless. An entire night and zero progress?”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord stomped her foot. She knew Jiaqi was timid, but this was ridiculously bad.

You two were alone on the same bed for more than one night. Sure, if you dared make a move I’d confiscate your crime tool, but you seriously didn’t even push the strategy forward a little?

“So Lu Brat, you really are trying to set them up?”

“I’m not at all. Don’t talk nonsense.”

The little Demon Lord floated up and lightly tapped Yuki’s head with a hand chop.

“My sister is such an amazing girl. I don’t want anyone touching her. But rather than being tricked away by some bad boy outside, it’s better to give Stupid Qi more chances.”

Isn’t that just a bad option and a worse option? In the end you still want to set them up.

Yuki smiled helplessly. But when it came to Jiaqi’s embarrassing performance, he did not really have the qualifications to criticize. Back when he chased Eiru, he had been about the same. Countless nights alone together, and somehow the progress was still zero.

“No way. I’m going to slap him a few times. So spineless.”

“Don’t, don’t. Give him some time. You can’t get fat in one bite, right?”

Yuki quickly stopped his girlfriend. Even though she did not mean it that way, he always felt like Eiru was indirectly mocking him.

“Besides, Little Eiya is still young. If she hasn’t realized these things yet, forcing it won’t help.”

“Uh… Stupid Yuki.”

The little Demon Lord suddenly stopped moving and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“What?”

“Don’t be fooled by how she looks. She looks small, but she’s only a bit more than a year younger than me. Not even two.”

Other people often treated Eiru and Eiya like children because of their appearance and some of their behavior. But as sisters who shared that age gap, they were more aware of it.

So not just Eiya. Sometimes Yuki even treated Eiru like a child to be taken care of. Many people did not realize that Eiya was already fifteen. There were plenty of things she actually understood.

Not to mention she had witnessed Eiru’s life since the age of seven. In terms of mentality and experience, she was far beyond her peers.

And unlike herself, who used to be a boy, Eiya was purely a girl. So in Eiru’s view, girls at this age were about at the point of falling in love.

To prevent her from being snatched away by some bad boy first, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was trying to push Jiaqi to step up.

But that coward’s performance truly did not satisfy her at all.
