Demon King – Chapter 829 – Even So

After the commotion on that side died down, everyone’s attention returned to Eiru.

Looking at her quietly sipping her drink, so well-behaved it felt unnatural, they still found it hard to adjust.

Her current appearance was far too different from her usual scheming and lively self. Other than Yuki, the rest of them simply could not get used to the present Eiru. It always felt like something was missing.

As for why Yuki felt no discomfort?

Aside from having been mentally prepared in advance, the more important reason was that she was his wife. His wife was obviously the cutest, no matter what she turned into.

“Big sis really feels like a doll right now…”

Eiya reached out and poked her sister’s cheek. But aside from glancing at her once, Eiru gave no other reaction.

“More or less. Lu Brat’s in a state where she’ll only do something if you tell her to. She won’t think about why, and she doesn’t understand how to refuse.”

“Wasn’t she supposed to teach me how to be a girl? In this state, she can’t teach me anything, right?”

Xixia had originally been somewhat looking forward to it. After all, the little Demon Lord was similar to her in some ways. They had both once lived as boys. Perhaps they would have a lot in common on that front.

And besides, she was the Hero, and Eiru was the Demon Lord. Xixia had always enjoyed chatting with this mischievous loli. Even if she was always suppressed by her in their exchanges.

But wasn’t that how Heroes usually were? Facing the Demon Lord, they started out at a disadvantage, then gradually leveled up and struck back.

Clinging to such confidence, Xixia overlooked a very important issue.

The loli Demon Lord in front of her was a commander with no troops. Forget about Four Heavenly Kings. She did not even have a single minion. What exactly was Xixia supposed to grind experience on?

“That’s not entirely true.” Yuki denied Xixia’s claim. “Lu Brat just lost her emotions, so she won’t take the initiative to think. It doesn’t mean she can’t think.”

“And her memories are all intact. Anything she could do before, she can still do now. Though…”

At this point, Yuki paused, looked Xixia up and down, and shot her a meaningful glance.

“Are you sure you want her to teach you how to be… a girl?”

Beside them, Eiya had already shrunk into Jiaqi’s arms, covering her mouth as she snickered. Learn restraint from her sister? She probably did not even know how to write the word restraint herself.

Xixia lay face-down on the table, beginning to ponder the meaning behind Yuki’s words.

Meanwhile, Yuki started explaining his little girlfriend’s current condition to Jiaqi.

“Other than her emotions, everything else is still there. For example… habits.”

As he spoke, Yuki leaned close and whispered a few words to Jiaqi, signaling him to act accordingly.

So Jiaqi extended his hand, palm up, holding it out in front of the little childhood sweetheart in his arms.

While Eiya was still trying to figure out what he was doing, her body reacted before her brain did. She leaned forward and rested her chin right on his palm.

“Good girl, Little Ya.”

Eiya’s face flushed red instantly. She turned around and started pounding lightly against Jiaqi’s chest with her small fists.

While fending off his little sweetheart’s attacks, Jiaqi also noticed that Yuki had made the same gesture toward Eiru.

The Little Demon Lord, who had been drinking, froze for a moment.

Then, under everyone else’s horrified gazes, she suddenly bit down hard.

Her teeth snapped together with a sharp crack. If Yuki had not pulled his hand back quickly, he might have lost a chunk of flesh.

“See? The habits her body remembers are still there. But since she’s lost her emotions, she doesn’t know to hold back. She doesn’t understand the concept of going easy.”

Yuki gave a helpless smile and rubbed his little girlfriend’s head.

The girl tilted her head in confusion for a moment, then resumed sipping her drink.

“Honestly, according to what you’re saying, Yuki, Lu kid’s current condition is pretty dangerous…”

Jiaqi could not help but worry.

If someone with ill intentions, or someone who held a grudge against Eiru, found out about her current state and secretly approached her with some excessive request, things would get troublesome.

“I already thought of that. She might not refuse anything right now, but have you considered what she would do if two people gave her opposite instructions?”

“She’d… follow the last instruction she heard?”

Eiya guessed. Something similar had happened at home.

When Ei Yuan and Liu Wan urged the two sisters to go to bed, the Little Demon Lord had already obediently climbed into bed. But after hearing a voice from Eiya’s phone video say, ‘Sleep? What sleep? Get up and party!’ she immediately sprang back up.

Then Ei Yuan noticed something was wrong, came in, coaxed her for a while, and finally got her to lie back down.

Based on that incident, Eiya assumed she would act according to the last command she heard.

“That’s one aspect. But there’s another.”

As he spoke, Yuki’s lips curled upward slightly. He gestured for them to casually give Eiru a command right now.

“Then… Little Demon Lord! Pour out your drink!”

Xixia acted first.

But after quite some time, Her Majesty the Demon Lord did not move at all. It was as though she had heard nothing, continuing to sip her drink through the straw.

“Huh? Little Demon Lord? Put the cup over here?”

This time, Eiru complied. She jumped off Yuki’s lap, carried her cup over, sat down next to Xixia, and placed the drink in front of her.

“Then… Little Demon Lord? Pour out the drink?”

“…”

Still drinking from her cup, the Little Demon Lord showed no reaction whatsoever to Xixia’s request.

Everyone except Yuki was completely baffled.

“What the hell? Does she still have some kind of prohibited command in her head?”

“That’s because I told her to finish her drink properly. So no matter how you try to trick her, she absolutely won’t pour it out.”

As Yuki explained, he stood up and pulled his little treasure back onto his lap.

Though she had lost her emotions, the Little Demon Lord still retained her unconditional trust in Yuki.

Even without the ability to judge right from wrong, she still believed that whatever Yuki said must be correct.

“Wifey, give me a meow.”

“Meow~”

She responded sweetly, even rubbing her head against Yuki’s chin in cooperation. Then she lowered her head again and continued carrying out Yuki’s instruction to properly finish the drink in her cup.

“I’ve already told her everything she needs to know. Even in this state, Lu Brat won’t be easily taken advantage of.”

Knowing Eiru as well as he did, how could Yuki possibly not have anticipated such situations? He had already prepared his little treasure in advance, strangling all unfavorable possibilities in the cradle.

Listening blankly as the others discussed her, the Little Demon Lord felt no stir in her heart. It was as though they were talking about someone completely unrelated to her.

Yet the sensation from the hand resting on her head and the arm around her waist made her inexplicably intoxicated.

She had no thoughts at all, but the voice of the person behind her gave her a strange feeling.

It felt as though she was meant to listen to him.

Even without emotions.

Even without knowing what she should do.

Even without understanding why she acted as she did.

Even if I have become like this, my dependence on you and my trust in you will not change in the slightest.
