Demon King – Chapter 877 – A Resentful Little Eiya

Time rewinds slightly to a bit earlier.

After finishing the grand feast Ei Yuan had prepared for his two daughters and his future son-in-law, and after some persuasion from him and Eiru, Yuki decided to stay the night.

As for Hui Jiaqi, that someone did not even know his youngest daughter was dating him, yet he somehow ended up freeloading a future son-in-law welcome dinner for free. Afterwards, because something came up at home, he hurriedly said goodbye and left in a rush. It really gave off the vibe of eating a free dinner and bolting at top speed.

Ei Yuan even helped tidy up a guest room for his future son-in-law. Although he supported the two dating, no normal parent at this stage would allow the two kids to share a room overnight.

Yuki understood that. Trying to explain that sort of thing would just make everything even more confusing. The little loli beside him, however, wore a visibly unhappy expression on her face. You really had to admire how easy she was to read.

Sharing a room overnight was impossible, but as for spending some alone time together before bed, Ei Yuan would not interfere. He had been through that stage himself. Having dated before, Ei Yuan expressed full understanding toward these two young lovers.

Besides, they had just finished dinner and tidied up the rooms. It was still early before bedtime. There was plenty of time for them to deepen their relationship, though frankly, this silver-haired couple did not really need to deepen anything anymore.

“By the way, Dad, if Stupid Yuki stays over, won’t Mom nag us to death if she sees?”

“Your mom is busy today. By the time she gets back, you’ll already be asleep. Don’t worry about it. Even if she sees, I won’t let her do anything to you.”

Rubbing his daughter’s head, Ei Yuan smiled and reassured them that they could completely relax about it. He had been busy before and did not manage things much at home. It was hard to say whether his two daughters had started seeing him as some household pushover with no authority. It was about time he proved otherwise.

“Hmph, Mom is just unreasonably harsh with me and Sis for no reason…”

Eiya chimed in from the side. On this matter, she was also sweating on behalf of Eiru and Yuki.

She was perfectly reasonable and polite with outsiders, even kind and easygoing with other people’s children. But when it came to the two sisters, not only was she extremely controlling, she also loved making decisions for them without reason.

“Sigh, I don’t really understand your mom’s temper either. Anyway, she doesn’t want to harm you. Her methods just aren’t great. I’ll talk to her properly.”

Now that he was spending more time at home with the kids, Ei Yuan realized that handing over the responsibility of raising the two girls to Liu Wan back then had been an outrageously wrong decision.

She had no issues taking care of their daily needs. But making decisions for the children on her own, forcing her own thoughts to interpret their behavior… most importantly, for the sake of her pride and status, Liu Wan would almost never admit her own mistakes at home.

“So honestly, at first I even thought about just cooking the rice first and talking later…”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord dropped a line that would make any parent’s blood pressure spike. Before Ei Yuan could respond, Yuki had already flicked her on the forehead.

“Alright, that topic ends here. You kids go do whatever you’re supposed to do. The adults’ matters are not for you to worry about. Dad will handle it for you.”

“Hehe~ Then this emperor shall take Stupid Yuki back to the room first~”

“Mm.”

Ei Yuan smiled and nodded. When his gaze met Yuki’s, however, his expression turned slightly serious.

Although he already fully acknowledged and trusted Yuki, he even felt that when it came to his daughter, the boy might take better care of her than he himself could.

But Ei Yuan was still a father who loved his children. On matters of principle, there was no room for compromise. The words “know your limits” were practically written across his face.

‘I know, I know…’

Yuki responded helplessly with a look and a small gesture. Then he was directly dragged back to the room by his freakishly strong girlfriend.

The moment they entered, Her Majesty the Demon Lord impatiently dove into Yuki’s arms and rubbed against him. Her slender tail swayed up, down, left, and right behind her according to her mood. She looked clingy beyond belief.

“Um, Sis, I’m still here… I don’t mind you two being all lovey-dovey though…”

Eiya raised her hand weakly, trying to assert her presence.

“Huh? Why are you here?”

“Brother Jiaqi ran off. It’s boring staying alone… I thought you two were going to the game room to play something, so I followed…”

As she spoke, Eiya puffed up her cheeks. They were already trying to date, yet that cowardly idiot really did just leave his childhood sweetheart behind and run off?

‘Well, he did have something at home. Nothing could be done about that…’’

Eiya quickly calmed down. She was not some unreasonable kid. Under the puzzled gazes of Eiru and Yuki, the little girl crawled beside the wardrobe and returned to her own room through the secret passage connecting to the game room.

“So what was she here for? Didn’t she say she liked watching the two of us together?”

Watching her back, Her Majesty the Demon Lord felt that her little sister’s inexplicable resentment did not seem to be just from eating dog food. Did something happen between her and Hui Jiaqi?

“Maybe… because she’s not single anymore?”

Yuki said uncertainly. He did not really understand girls’ hearts either.

“See? That’s why my wife is so easy to understand~ No need to guess so much.”

“It’s husband! And are you seriously sleeping in the guest room tonight?”

—————

After being lovey-dovey for the whole evening, and after everyone had showered and waited for their hair to dry, it was finally time for bed.

Normally, with the little Demon Lord’s habits, sleeping this early did not fit her style at all. But for now, she did not want her mother discovering the relationship issue.

It would not only cause trouble on her end, it would also create problems for her dad. So Her Majesty the Demon Lord could only obediently climb into bed early to prepare for sleep.

However, in the middle of the night, long after Ei Yuan and Liu Wan had returned and gone to bed, the door to the guest room where Yuki was sleeping suddenly opened quietly.

A text message popped up on his phone. Yuki could only grit his teeth and crawl out of his room, tiptoeing to his girlfriend’s door. Just as he was about to knock, the door suddenly opened and a small hand grabbed him and dragged him inside.

“Lu Brat, if we get caught, we’re both dead.”

“What? You scared?” Eiru crossed her arms, a slightly mocking smile on her face.

“It’s not like we haven’t done similar things before. Climbing out the window to go to internet cafés, sneaking into construction sites to set off firecrackers, and…”

“Stop, stop, stop, don’t say it. That’s different, okay?”

Having their dark history dragged out again by this unlucky girl gave Yuki a headache. Why did this loli love rebellion and thrill-seeking so much?

“Mainly… I can’t sleep.” Her tone suddenly softened. The little Demon Lord tugged at Yuki’s sleeve, looking pitiful.

“It was fine when you weren’t at my house. But knowing you’re clearly here and I can’t hold you… ugh…”

“I’ve already reached the point where I can’t live without Stupid Yuki. So you have to take responsibility!”

“Alright, alright, I’ll take responsibility, I’ll take responsibility. I’ll take responsibility for you for the rest of my life.”

Scooping the little girl up in a princess carry, Yuki walked to the bed and leaned back, falling onto it together with the girl in his arms.

At the same time, in the game room, Eiya, who was secretly gaming in the middle of the night out of boredom, heard the faint noises coming from the other side and could not help frowning.

“I kind of guessed you two would… sigh. At least keep it down, okay? This just makes me look pitiful. Brother Jiaqi too. He knows all the secrets now and still ran off… hmph.”

Forced to eat dog food again, the little loli puffed up her cheeks. The next time someone saw her, that person would probably have to endure a wave of resentment from his own childhood sweetheart.
