Demon King – Chapter 848 – There’s Always Someone Worse for the Wicked

Lacking the ability to debate against a crowd, and facing the combined pressure of so many onlookers, the auntie quickly realized the situation was turning against her. She no longer dared continue making trouble for the two girls.

After shooting a vicious glare at the little Demon Lord who was still fake crying on the ground, she grabbed her son and forced her way out of the circle. In no time, the two of them disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Finally free from that bear parent and bear child duo, Her Majesty the Demon Lord climbed up from the ground. After giving a slight bow and politely thanking the surrounding crowd, she pulled Xixia back to Yuki’s side.

“Wait, Little Demon Lord… we’re just letting them go like that? They haven’t apologized yet!”

“Come on, look at the way they were. Do you really think they’d apologize?”

Eiru patted Xixia on the back, looking completely in control.

You can’t force someone like that to apologize. It’s like trying to wake someone who’s pretending to sleep. They don’t think they did anything wrong. If they kept dragging it out, it would just become endless. Better to cut it off and leave.

“Of course, since you’re already following me now, I’m definitely not letting you suffer for nothing… So this macho man has already made a little move on your behalf and vented your anger.”

As she spoke, the little Demon Lord revealed her long slender tail behind her. From the faint glow spreading across the patterns on the ring, it was obvious she hadn’t just been fake crying earlier.

“Wait, when did I start following you… Little Demon Lord, you’re talking like some delinquent boss!”

“That’s not wrong. In a certain sense, Lu Brat really is a delinquent girl.”

A hand suddenly reached out from behind as Yuki pulled his precious loli into his arms and started rubbing her.

“I’m clearly a three good macho man. How am I delinquent—guh…”

“Macho man?”

Yuki curled his lips slightly. Under Eiru’s horrified gaze, he grabbed her tail that was still swaying in midair.

“Loli! Loli! I’m a loli! Don’t touch my tail!”

“Mm. Good.”

Yuki released her in satisfaction. Watching the girl loli get put in her place, Xixia suddenly felt a mischievous urge.

“Um… Little Demon Lord? Just now you…”

“Hmm? Just now? Well, since I’m small, I just made use of my size to put on a show.”

“No, I mean…” the hero girl organized her words. “Can you call me… big sister… one more time?”

“Get lost! Dream on! Big sister my ass! I’m older than you! Don’t think just because you’re taller you can act smug! You dummy hero!”

Looking at Xixia’s height of over one sixty, the little Demon Lord was genuinely displeased. Still, she was long used to her height issue. After a moment, she stopped dwelling on it.

So how exactly did Her Majesty the Demon Lord help her “bestie” vent her anger?

The answer naturally lay in the magic she had borrowed from Yuki earlier.

When Yuki had asked her about it, Eiru had just shaken her little head mysteriously and said, “There’s always someone worse for the wicked. You fight magic with magic.”

Naturally, Yuki had responded to such riddling behavior with a heavy handed lesson. After being thoroughly teased and reduced to a soft, limp state, the little Demon Lord obediently explained everything.

“I used my Authority, Fate, to interfere with their fate lines… So in the future, they’ll frequently run into people just as unreasonable as they are.”

There’s no need to reason with people like that. The best way to deal with them is to let them experience the same thing. Who knows what kind of wonderful drama would unfold when two sets of bear parents and bear children run into each other.

“It’s also a disguised way to stop them from bothering normal people. From now on, the people they meet probably won’t be good people either. Let them hurt each other. Whatever happens afterward has nothing to do with us.”

“Although considering you might still not feel satisfied, dummy…” The little Demon Lord suddenly leaned closer to Xixia. “So how about we go mess with that little brat later?”

A hero shouldn’t have such wicked thoughts.

But Xixia had to admit that faced with the proposal from the little devil beside her… she was tempted.

‘Wuwuwu, I’m sorry, senior heroes. I’ve been tempted by the Demon Lord and fallen into evil…’

Though that’s what she thought internally, the anticipation written all over her face made it clear the hero girl was quite the mischievous type herself.

“Anyway, go early and come back early. Pay attention to safety, alright?”

Yuki pinched Eiru’s cheek, not planning to stop the mischievous loli.

After everything they had been through, this unlucky kid wouldn’t be as reckless as before. Still, what needed to be said had to be said.

“Okayyy. Stupid Yuki, remember to come to my house for dinner tonight. My dad wants to see you.”

“Alright, alright. I’ll prepare properly.”

“Wait wait wait!” Eiya suddenly popped out from who knows where. “If there’s something fun, count me in! Count me in!”

And so, the three girls formed a little expedition team to crusade against the bear child. The two helpless boys had no intention of joining. After giving a few safety reminders, the small group split into two teams and temporarily went their separate ways.

“So what are we doing later? Going to find Ziyu and Jixian?” Jiaqi asked Yuki about the next plan, only to be stabbed in the back by his good brother.

“I’m meeting the parents, so I need to prepare properly… After all, before long I’ll be marrying Lu Brat.”

He even mimed the motion of adjusting a tie. Though he wasn’t wearing one, the pose combined with those blatantly show off words made his meaning painfully obvious.

“What the hell? You’re showing off that too? You used to flaunt your dog food. Now that I have Little Ya, you can still find another way to flex on me?”

“Who told you to be such a coward? Tsk tsk… You keep sneaking around. I’ll be sticking close with Lu Brat openly and proudly.”

Yuki was practically glowing with happiness. Both families had basically agreed to this marriage. There were no obstacles left between them. The only thing remaining was time.

“Get lost! Screw off! As brothers you only know how to hurt me! And hey, you’re not getting married until at least college, right? That’s still far away! What the hell are you showing off for?”

“Anyway, it’ll still be earlier than you and Little Ya.”

“You’re not even acting human anymore, are you?!”

—————

“Ta da! You’ve heard of it, right? One of Huanghai’s most famous urban legends. The abandoned school building in the Southern District where ghosts appear!”

Bringing the two girls flying across several streets to their destination, the little Demon Lord spread her arms wide in front of the abandoned campus as if presenting it.

“We’ve heard of it… but why are we here?”

The two girls looked confused. What did this place have to do with scaring a bear child?

“You two just don’t get it. We’re going to pretend to be ghosts and scare him. If we want maximum effect while minimizing impact, of course we use urban legends like this.”

“But what if it’s real?” As a chuunibyou, Xixia held a deep reverence for such things.

“As if. It’s all rumors. Not a single one is real.”

“Then sis, what about the giant bat in the Eastern District?”

“Don’t bring that up! Didn’t Dad… I mean, Uncle Li and the others already suppress that?!”
