Demon King – Chapter 830 – An Unexpected Gift Package

“Let’s go, let’s go! Brother Jiaqi! This shop, let’s hit it!”

As the group walked along the street, Eiya’s eyes suddenly lit up. She grabbed Jiaqi beside her and dashed straight into a store.

“Huh? Huh?!”

They had been walking perfectly fine, and suddenly two people ran off. The Hero girl was left at a loss.

She turned to look at Yuki, who was still squatting there wiping Eiru’s mouth. It did not seem like the two of them intended to chase after the pair. Considering that the loli currently could not really communicate properly, and that she herself was more familiar with Jiaqi anyway…

“W-Wait! Wait for me!”

Thinking that, Xixia clutched her small bag and hurried after them with somewhat stiff steps.

“Want to check out the shop Little Eiya went into?”

Looking at Eiru like this, Yuki still hoped she would recover soon. So today he deliberately tried from time to time to hand decision-making power to her, giving her a bit of stimulation to maybe speed up her recovery, even if only by a little.

The Little Demon Lord shook her head again, still indicating that she did not know.

Right now, she simply felt that as long as she followed Yuki, wherever he went, she would go.

“Alright then…”

Yuki rubbed his little girlfriend’s head. His gaze was suddenly drawn to somewhere not far away. He noticed that a shop already had quite a long line forming at its entrance.

Taotao…? Were they selling some kind of peach-filled pastry?

Thinking that the girl had liked this sort of sweet snack before, Yuki decided to go line up and buy two portions for Eiru.

After taking a few steps, Yuki realized that Her Majesty the Demon Lord had followed him.

The way she silently and obediently trailed behind him was inexplicably adorable. But considering her current state, Yuki did not really want her squeezing into the crowd with him.

“Wait here for me, okay? Don’t wander off. I’ll get you something.”

He led her to a suitable spot where she would not block passersby. After giving her a simple instruction, he ran off to queue up.

The Little Demon Lord stood where she was, her gaze fixed in the direction Yuki had left.

A silver-haired loli, so cute it was almost criminal, standing there blankly like an exquisitely crafted doll, naturally drew quite a bit of attention from passersby.

A delicately dressed child in a refined dress, looking like some young lady from a wealthy family, standing alone at the side.

It was not a common sight.

And in a crowded, chaotic place like this, it was inevitable that someone might see her and start harboring crooked thoughts.

Not to mention that Her Majesty the Demon Lord had already been targeted by human traffickers two or three times before. It seemed she possessed some strange constitution that attracted wolves and criminals.

Sure enough, after observing her for a while, a shifty-eyed man began entertaining ill intentions.

“Hey, little girl, why are you here all by yourself?”

Seeing that Eiru was only a little over 1.4 meters tall, the thin man assumed she was some elementary school kid. With so many people around, he decided to first coax her somewhere less crowded.

“…”

No response.

The silver-haired girl merely glanced at him briefly before turning her gaze back to where she had been looking, continuing to wait for someone’s return.

“Tch, that’s not very polite, is it? At least answer uncle’s question.”

“Waiting for someone.”

She gave a flat reply, then fell silent again. She had no intention of dealing with this suspicious, rat-faced individual and simply continued carrying out Yuki’s instruction to remain on standby.

For quite a while afterward, no matter how the suspicious man tried to persuade her, the loli showed not the slightest reaction.

He could not even provoke a response, let alone lure her somewhere deserted.

Forget it. I’ll use force.

After thinking it over, the thin man rolled his shoulders and slowly pushed out a small spray can hidden in his sleeve. He sprayed some of it onto a handkerchief he took out with his other hand, planning to seize an opportunity to press it directly over the girl’s face.

Because Eiru was too eye-catching and there were people constantly passing by, he did not dare act rashly under the occasional glances from strangers.

So he could only prepare in advance and patiently wait for an opportunity, thinking that once he succeeded, even if he did not sell her for a good price, he could at least extort a hefty sum from her parents.

After waiting for quite some time, when a nearby shop suddenly announced some promotional event and drew everyone’s attention, the man quietly circled behind Eiru and abruptly covered her face with the handkerchief.

As long as the drug-soaked cloth covered the target’s face, even an adult man would lose consciousness within a dozen seconds.

Just as he was certain he had succeeded and was about to drag the girl away, his hand suddenly stopped a few centimeters from her face, as if it had been jammed by something.

“?”

Looking carefully, he saw that at some unknown point, the Little Demon Lord had already raised her hand and was now gripping his wrist tightly.

Before the man could process this absurd situation, a sharp pain shot through his arm.

The loli in front of him squeezed and twisted.

The next second, the man was slammed to the ground in a miserable heap.

Throughout the entire sequence, the Little Demon Lord’s gaze remained fixed in the direction Yuki had left.

If not for the fact that she was still gripping the fallen man’s wrist, one might have thought she had not even noticed the attacker beside her.

Lying on the ground, the man struggled through the pain, desperately trying to pull his wrist free.

Absurdly, it felt as though his hand had been nailed in midair. No matter how hard he struggled, Eiru did not move in the slightest.

“Let go! You damn brat! Let go of me!”

He became enraged out of humiliation. The possibility of being noticed by passersby at any moment made him panic.

At the same time, a trace of fear crept into his heart.

What kind of monster was this girl?

Yet what surprised him was that after he shouted that, the girl obediently released her grip.

Not daring to waste even a second, the man scrambled up in terror and fled the scene in a disheveled mess before drawing attention.

“Her grip nearly crushed my bones. What the hell is she?”

Hiding in a nearby restroom to inspect his hand, he was horrified to find that his wrist was nearly deformed from her squeeze.

He had been too tense to feel it earlier. Now that he had calmed down, waves of searing pain were making him close to collapsing.

“This place is cursed. I need to get out of here…”

With an injury like this, he could not delay. He decided to leave this troublesome place immediately.

But as he reached the restroom entrance, three young men suddenly blocked his way.

“Hello. We’re police. We saw everything you just did.”

“And there’s also a serious case in Qionglong from a few days ago with a suspect still at large. You… well, anyway, please come with us.”

After showing their credentials, the three young men very “kindly” produced a limited-edition pair of silver bracelets and warmly invited him to take a seat with them.

Honestly, they found it rather amusing themselves. They had only been secretly protecting that girl. Who would have thought she would suddenly deliver such a big gift package?

So really, why did you have to mess with her?

After firmly subduing the still-confused man, the three young officers discussed briefly. One stayed behind to continue watching over a certain loli, while the other two escorted the newly captured fugitive away.
