Demon King – Chapter 868 – A Subtle Misunderstanding

Whether for Eiru or for Yuki, today was a long anticipated and extremely important day.

“So I’m saying, Stupid Yuki, you’ve got to perform well, okay? Even though my dad doesn’t meddle much, he has a lot of say at home… As long as he supports us, no matter how much others object, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

Looking at the silver haired loli standing at the doorway earnestly reminding him, Yuki suddenly felt like this girl seemed even more nervous than he was. He could not help but find it a little funny.

“Isn’t this my home turf? Why are you more nervous than me, Lu Brat?”

“I’m not nervous! Not at all! He’s meeting you, not me…”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord flared up at first, then her voice inexplicably softened.

“Even if he doesn’t agree, I’ll definitely marry you and bring you home anyway… Mm, that’s how it is! There’s absolutely nothing to be nervous about! Just act normal! Gwu?!”

Her little head was suddenly patted by Yuki. The Little Demon Lord looked up and saw his meaningful smile. Watching her adorable reaction, the bit of nervousness Yuki had felt earlier completely vanished.

“Hey, you two… we’re still here. Can you not block the door?”

Eiya and Hui Jiaqi, who were still waiting behind them to open the door, finally grew impatient seeing the two dawdle at the entrance for so long.

“It’s just meeting her dad. What are you scared of? And you two still call me timid?”

Hui Jiaqi mocked. He claimed he often met with the sisters’ dad to chat and had absolutely nothing to be nervous about.

“Oh? Should I go announce that you’re dating Little Ya then?”

“Don’t. Sister, I was wrong.”

The moment Eiru said that, Hui Jiaqi instantly caved. He still wanted to live a few more years. That kind of thing absolutely could not be publicized.

“What sister? Call me brother. And call Stupid Yuki sister-in-law.”

“Okay okay, brother brother brother, please spare me!”

“You’re missing the sister-in-law.”

‘No way. I really have to say it?’

Looking at Yuki covering his face with one hand in helpless resignation, Hui Jiaqi’s mood was complicated.

‘As a good brother who had known him since elementary school, you want me to call him sister-in-law? Lu Brat, have you lost your mind?’

“Are you saying it or not? If you don’t I’ll—Mmph?!”

“Alright, stop messing around.”

Yuki scooped up his little girlfriend who had started acting up. He himself could not quite accept that bizarre title either. Burying his face in her neck, he gave her a deep kiss, and the little girl immediately quieted down.

“Gwu… bad guy…”

“What bad guy? You don’t like it? Then I won’t do that next time.”

“No! It’s not that I don’t like it… Anyway, if you want to, you can anytime.”

Watching the young couple radiate thick dog food energy, Eiya and Hui Jiaqi could not help but sigh. The whole tactic of playing hard to get had truly been mastered by Yuki.

Taking a deep breath, the Little Demon Lord opened the door. After the four of them entered, sure enough, the person who had specifically requested to meet the future son in law was sitting on the living room sofa playing with the cat.

Liu Wan was not home today, so Ei Yuan had decided to take this opportunity to invite Yuki over for a talk. Seeing the children enter and noticing Eiru’s small hand being held by Yuki, a bitter and complicated smile appeared on the middle aged father’s face.

“Hm? Jiaqi came too? Want to stay and…”

“No need, you guys talk! I’ll take Brother Jiaqi to grab something!”

Before her father could finish, Eiya grabbed Hui Jiaqi and bolted. Whoever got involved in this kind of situation would feel awkward. Better to leave all the time and space to them and let her sister deal with the headache.

Watching the childhood sweethearts slip into the room in a flash, Ei Yuan shook his head helplessly. With the relationship between the two families as it was, it was not a bad thing that Eiya and Hui Jiaqi were close.

‘Still… were those two a little too close?’

The thought had just surfaced when Ei Yuan dismissed it. Eiya was still so young, and Hui Jiaqi had always treated her like a younger sister. Why overthink it? Better deal with the matter at hand first.

After exchanging a few polite words with Yuki and bringing out drinks and some snacks to entertain him, Ei Yuan glanced at his eldest daughter sitting obediently beside Yuki and handed her an unopened bag of shrimp chips.

“Little Lu, go back to your room for a while, alright? Dad needs to talk to Yuki about something.”

“Oh okay.”

The Little Demon Lord took the shrimp chips and stood up. Just as Ei Yuan was thinking how sensible his daughter was, she casually added a sentence that made him break into a sweat.

“It’s about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relations, right? I get it, I get it… I’ll avoid the scene. You two have a good chat.”

Watching the loli leave with black lines across his face, not only Ei Yuan but even Yuki was left speechless by his little girlfriend’s bizarre remark.

“It’s fine, Uncle. Lu Brat is always like this. You get used to it.”

Compared to Ei Yuan, Yuki, who was already accustomed to this unfortunate loli’s strange comments, quickly recovered and smoothed things over.

“Sigh, true enough… I’ve already heard about you two from your father. So regarding Little Lu’s situation, it is indeed rather complicated.”

—————

Her “wife” was still in the living room discussing things with her dad. There was no way Eiru could really stay quietly in her room.

‘Would Dad make things difficult for Stupid Yuki? Probably not. He’s not Mom… But what if Stupid Yuki blurts out a bunch of nonsense? And we used to be good brothers. Will Dad misunderstand something?’

Her mind was filled with these questions. Back in her room, the Little Demon Lord was completely restless. She could not exactly run out to eavesdrop, so to keep herself from turning into an ant on a hot pan, she desperately needed something to distract herself.

Fortunately, the secret base connected both Eiru’s and Eiya’s rooms. Since staying alone would not solve anything, she crawled through the passage toward her sister’s room to kill some time.

“Holy shit, you’re playing that big? Sorry, I came at the wrong time. I’ll take my leave!”

The moment she entered, what greeted her eyes was a rather subtle scene.

Eiya was sitting in a duck sit posture, straddling Hui Jiaqi from the opposite direction. Hui Jiaqi was lying on the bed, and due to the angle, his expression could not be seen.

Eiya’s hands were resting on Hui Jiaqi’s pants in a way that looked extremely wrong. The unnatural blush on her face made it even harder not to think in a very wrong direction.

Eiru’s sudden appearance startled Eiya badly. Realizing the other party might have misunderstood, she hurried to stand up to prove her innocence. But she tripped over Hui Jiaqi’s body and nearly fell off the bed entirely.

“No, wait, sis! It’s not what you think!!!”

“Little Ya, brother respects your decision, so I won’t disturb you two… but young people must pay attention to safety.”

Thinking she had walked in on something intimate, the Little Demon Lord took a step back and reached to close the door, preparing to flee. At the same time, she could not help but sigh inwardly. Things are progressing fast. Is it because Little Ya is a proper girl? They’re actually moving faster than me and Stupid Yuki.

“I said it’s not that! Listen to people when they talk!!!”
