Demon King – Chapter 783 – Let Nature Take Its Course

Because she really did have the problem of being afraid living alone in a big house, during the time Ei Yuan and Liu Wan were away, Eiya had indeed developed the bad habit of needing her sister to sleep with her.

Though calling it a newly formed bad habit was not quite accurate. It was more like she had picked back up an old habit she had suppressed for a long time.

On top of that, there were two cats in Eiru’s room. The attraction for her was absolutely enormous.

So even after the adults returned home, this silver haired loli still hugged her pillow every night and ran over to her sister’s room with a series of light pattering footsteps.

With her legs covered in black over the knee socks crossed and swaying lazily, the little Demon Lord propped her chin on one hand as she lay on the bed, smiling while admiring her younger sister’s adorable sleeping face.

The mischievous and restless Her Majesty the Demon Lord used her other hand to occasionally draw small circles on Eiya’s soft cheek.

As for why she was not sleeping so late at night… naturally because she was fiddling with someone else’s dream again.

After connecting the two of their dreams once more and watching yet another replay of her little sister guiding Hui Jiaqi into confessing his true feelings and then agreeing to date him, Eiru wore a meaningful smile, feeling emotional that her sister had grown up.

“Even if she hasn’t fallen in love, since he sincerely likes her, she can still give him a chance… heh, it’s kind of like me and Stupid Yuki back then.”

Of course, the little Demon Lord had not realized that Eiya was basically a clueless little dummy when it came to this sort of thing. Being able to make that decision was almost entirely influenced by her.

“Even though Stupid Qi is cowardly as hell, it’s exactly because he’s cowardly that big sis feels reassured he won’t mess around casually. That’s why I think he can date you.”

Murmuring to the sleeping Eiya as if talking to herself, the Demon Lord sighed again. Watching the little sister she had raised since childhood grow wings and fly off with someone else, her feelings were complicated.

“What is this… why does it feel like I just sold her off…”

The strange sense of déjà vu popped into her head, making Eiru puff out her cheeks. Her other hand reached out and patted Hulu, who was lying on the pillow.

“Goo yi?”

Suddenly being patted by its little master, the small creature lifted its head. With their mental states completely synchronized, if the loli was not sleeping, it could only lie there with its eyes closed and rest.

“See? Even though they don’t remember anything, it’s still the same outcome. So in reality it should be the same too, right? As long as we let nature take its course…”

“Goo yi…”

“Dreams come from reality and reflect reality… Even if nothing is remembered, their existence must have some meaning, right?”

Hulu immediately showed a look of disdain, the expression in its eyes clearly saying, ‘I can’t even talk, why are you discussing something this philosophical with me?’

“Speaking of which, Hulu, do you dream? We sleep in sync, so I can’t really see your dreams.”

Hulu shook its head. As a companion beast, sleep for it was merely standby mode. If it had to say, maybe it could watch its little master’s dreams instead. But it would probably only be from Eiru’s perspective, and most likely it would not remember them either.

“Come to think of it, I can search through all the details of my memories. Dreams shouldn’t be an exception, right? But some dreams I remember very clearly, while others I can’t recall at all…”

The little Demon Lord tilted her head, unable to figure it out. After all, she practically possessed perfect memory. Although most of the time she chose not to think and therefore did not recall things, in theory she should be able to remember every detail of her dreams clearly.

“Goo yi? Goo yi… Goo!”

“Hm? You mean my dreams have surface layers and inner layers? Oh, right, that is a thing. Thanks for the reminder.”

Thanks to a certain level of telepathic connection, Her Majesty the Demon Lord could usually understand what the little creature wanted to express.

“But my dreams are too dangerous. They fully reflect reality, all sensations are reproduced and everything.”

Thinking about how Yuki had once said he wanted to enter her dream, Eiru had immediately shut that idea down seriously. Her dreams were not just dreams. They were constructed based on reality. If something went wrong inside, you might not be able to get out.

“Even though most of my memories have recovered, I still can’t clearly remember what I was trying to do when I erased them back then… But since it was me, then whatever happens in the future must have already been calculated, right?”

Her past self must have already included future circumstances in the plan.

Utterly confident in her own calculating ability, the little Demon Lord firmly declared that she could relax and coast. Any backup measures must have already been prepared long ago.

Hulu showed a disdainful look again. It did not know exactly what the previous Eiru had done. But judging from its lazy little master’s usual behavior, her way of thinking and acting was not hard to guess.

“Though… hm? Forget it, this thought is kind of chuunibyou… But just sealing off Little Ya’s non-human part shouldn’t require shackles that use memories as the price, right?”

The latter half she did not say out loud, only muttering it silently in her heart. She had a vague intuition that speaking those words might trigger troublesome consequences.

Hulu, having sensed her thoughts through their mental connection, also said nothing. It quietly lay back down again. The master and pet stared at each other silently, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.

The little Demon Lord always had the feeling that the reason her past self had used memories as shackles was, on one hand, to seal something.

On the other hand, there seemed to be something she did not want her present self to know.

Or perhaps it was simply dangerous information. So before the timing was right, she should not dig any deeper.

“Forget it. My head hurts…” Eiru rolled over and lay flat on the bed. “Since I did it, I must have had my reasons.”

If her past self had already paved the road, then she just needed to let nature take its course and walk it.

With that thought, the little Demon Lord stopped thinking and decided to continue living her days as they came.

The truth had already taken shape in her heart, but since the time had not yet come, she could just keep pretending to be clueless.

“By the way, Hulu… when you were still a stone, do you remember how you separated from that main large crystal?”

There had still been no clues about the last piece of Abyssal Amber. Even though she did not hold much hope, Her Majesty the Demon Lord still wanted to see if she could get anything meaningful from Hulu.

“Gooo… goo? Yi…”

“You remember a little? Hm… A part of it cracked off and flew away when it fell from the sky? I see.”

As expected, there was still nothing particularly useful from Hulu’s side.

Though that large crystal… it was not actually indestructible after all?
