Demon King – Chapter 835 – The Demon Lord Returns to School

Because Eiru’s current condition wasn’t looking too optimistic, the rest of the holiday was basically spent staying at home or having Hui Jiaqi take her out for a stroll. Well, technically it was Yuki taking her out. Nothing much really happened.

So the not-too-long, not-too-short vacation passed just like that, and it was time to return to campus again. But the condition of a certain loli showed no obvious improvement.

After long discussions, Ei Yuan and Liu Wan still decided to let their child go back to school. Although they were extremely worried, keeping her at home without contact with the outside world didn’t seem like it would improve her condition either.

Because of that, they called Hui Jiaqi over again and gave him endless reminders and instructions, hoping he would properly look after the current Eiru. Hui Jiaqi responded and agreed on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking, ‘I’d like to manage this, but she’s not under my jurisdiction, okay?’

Right now she’s got a male mom doting on her like she’s the apple of his eye. Even if you remind me, it’s kind of useless, right? Compared to that, Hui Jiaqi was more curious about when those two would finally dare to make their relationship public.

Yuki: ‘If you’ve got the guts, why don’t you announce you’re dating Little Eiya first?’

On the other hand, having received advance notice from Ei Yuan and Liu Wan, the invincible homeroom teacher Lao Ban also paid special attention to a certain loli. During the first few days back at school, nothing went wrong.

But as time passed, the once lively and mischievous Eiru suddenly looked like she had no interest in anything in the world. Naturally, rumors began spreading among the classmates.

“You’re saying she got dumped? She was hit by heartbreak so she turned into this?”

“What else could it be? Her dad still drives to pick her up every day, so it doesn’t look like family trouble. Must be a breakup, right?”

“That’s ridiculous. Which blind idiot would do that? If I had a girlfriend as cute as her, I’d treasure her like a baby…”

Similar gossip spread through the class. And aside from attending lessons and studying, Yuki had all his attention focused on his little girlfriend, so he naturally didn’t notice these rumors at all.

It was another self-study period that day. While taking care of the little Demon Lord who was napping on her desk, Yuki gently stroked her back with one hand. That loving scene immediately triggered another round of gossip in class.

“Look how much Li Yuki takes care of her. Poor Demon Lord. If I knew who her boyfriend was, I’d definitely beat him up for her.”

“Hey, is it possible her boyfriend is Li Yuki?”

“Impossible. Li Yuki has always taken care of her. How could he let her become like this? And look at their hair, they clearly look like siblings, right?”

Although most people in the Honor Class believed Yuki and the loli beside him were siblings, it wasn’t like no one had ever suspected they were dating. But now that Eiru had become like this, the correct answer was inexplicably eliminated by everyone.

“But they don’t share the same surname?”

“Cousins maybe? Didn’t Li Yuki always take care of the Demon Lord? I remember when she was still in the Problem Class, he kept running over there…”

Students from the Honor Class had always been at odds with students from other classes, let alone the openly targeted Problem Class. So Yuki constantly speaking up for Eiru back then and frequently running to another class did look pretty strange in many people’s eyes.

“Ridiculous…”

Su Qianchen quietly leaned toward her sister and muttered. As half a person in the know, at least the sibling theory sounded completely absurd to her.

“Hm? Ah… what?”

Su Qianmeng still looked half a beat slow. She lifted her head from the sea of practice problems, big confusion written all over her eyes.

“Nothing. Just keep being dumb.”

Seeing that the other girl hadn’t even been listening, Qianchen complained speechlessly. The next second, her ear was grabbed by her dear sister.

“Little Chenchen, I’m your older sister~ Talking to your sister like that is very rude, you know?”

“Sorry! I’m sorry! You pink-cut-black!”

Qianchen quickly begged for mercy. Although she was usually the more tomboyish and dominant one, an older sister was still an older sister. The seemingly slow and soft Qianmeng always managed to keep her firmly in check for some reason.

Qianmeng released her and went back to grinding practice questions. Rubbing her aching ear, Qianchen shot her sister a resentful look. She turned around, ready to complain to the silver-haired couple, only to have another mouthful of dog food stuffed straight into her mouth.

“Guh~”

Eyes narrowed in enjoyment, the little Demon Lord let out a pleased sound like a kitten. Although she had temporarily lost her emotions, long-standing habits were still there. In that regard, she looked no different from usual.

“So why did she lose her emotions anyway? Did you do something to her and scare the kid silly?”

“Hey, how is that even possible? What the hell is in your brain?”

Without stopping the soothing motion on Eiru’s back, Yuki picked up a ballpoint pen with his other hand and knocked Qianchen on the head.

“Lu Brat’s situation is special. I can’t really explain it… Just treat it as her being sick. She’ll get better after a while.”

“Tsk tsk tsk. You really didn’t do anything? By the way, do your families know you two are dating?”

Resting her chin on her hand, Qianchen, ever the bit of a troublemaker, had no intention of telling Yuki about the recent rumors. Watching this unlucky guy’s reputation get mysteriously damaged was honestly kind of entertaining.

“My family knows. Her family doesn’t for now, she refuses to say. We’ll see after she recovers.”

“When the time comes, remember to send me an invitation for the wedding. As for my sister, you two can decide what to give her. She’s pretty slow, she might just forget—ah!”

“You’re being rude again. I’m your sister, you know.”

Qianmeng suddenly knocked her little sister on the head, dropped that line, and turned back to her workbook.

“Sis, were you listening to us the whole time?”

“Not really… Did you say something?”

“You didn’t hear anything, so why did you hit me?”

“Mm…” Qianmeng thought for a moment. “Because I felt like you said something rude again? I’m your sister, so I have to keep you in line.”

‘Can your radar be more sensitive in other areas instead of this weird intuition?!’

“Ridiculous. She obviously…”

Qianchen stopped mid-sentence, glancing fearfully at her sister who was focused on writing problems, worried she might suddenly smack her from behind again.

“Forget her. Anyway, remember to invite me to the wedding. I’ll give you two a red envelope~”

“It’s way too early… We’re still in high school.”

Yuki laughed awkwardly. Although he believed their relationship wouldn’t waver, talking about marriage at their age was indeed too early.

“But I really do want to be openly together with Lu Brat as soon as possible, and marry her earlier…”

Yuki leaned down as well, gazing affectionately and indulgently at the obedient loli beside him. Hearing his voice, Eiru suddenly opened her eyes. She tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then threw out words that made Yuki’s head ache instantly.

“Marriage? Now?”

“No, we’re still in high school, Lu Brat…”

“Hm? Then when you said marry, you meant you want to eat m—mmph?”

Before she could finish, Yuki’s expression changed drastically. Predicting what this brat was about to say, he immediately covered her mouth and interrupted the spell.

‘Seriously, why can you still drive at high speed after losing your emotions? Does your Demon Lord bloodline only have succubus left in it?’
