Demon King – Chapter 892 – Her Majesty the Demon Lord Provides Wake-Up Service
“Dad, we’re going to Stupid Qi’s house to check on him~”
Her little head poked into the kitchen as she reported to Ei Yuan, who was busy preparing food. Since they could not get through on Hui Jiaqi’s phone, the Demon Lord planned to take Yuki over to his place to see what was going on.
“Mm, alright. Come back early for dinner. Oh right, his parents went out today. They said for him to come eat here, so bring him along while you’re at it.”
“Mhm, got it, got it.”
Answering as she spoke, Her Majesty the Demon Lord dragged Yuki and Eiya out the door. Hearing they were going to find Jiaqi, a certain loli naturally got interested in tagging along.
“Looks like he got abandoned by his parents again. Pfft hahaha.”
When they reached the entrance, Eiru could not resist adding that jab.
Well, it was not the first time Jiaqi had been left behind by his parents anyway. Sometimes the three of them had even suspected that when Jiaqi was sent abroad to study, it might have been because his dear parents thought the kid was getting in the way of their couple time, so they just tossed him out.
“If I remember right, during the time Brother Jiaqi was overseas, uncle and aunt really did travel a lot…”
“Well, at least his living expenses are covered, so it’s not a big problem. Unlike me, all my money comes from working.”
The Demon Lord shrugged and muttered a small complaint. Even though she now knew that her wages back then had actually been paid by Ei Yuan and Liu Wan, she still felt speechless about that arrangement.

Because the two sisters had moved into this new house, Jiaqi’s home was now some distance away from theirs. To save time, the Demon Lord ducked into a small alley, fiddled with a concealment trick, then grabbed the two of them and took off on the spot, flying straight toward Jiaqi’s house.
When they arrived at his door, the three of them pressed the doorbell several times but got no response. The adults were not home, but Eiru figured that at this hour Jiaqi should not be out either.
So under Yuki’s complicated gaze, Eiru directly pulled a key out of her pocket. Beside her, Eiya also froze for a second while holding an identical key, then quietly stuffed hers back into her bag.
“You two… why do you have that?”
“Because our families are close. Didn’t I tell you?”
After opening the door, the Demon Lord patted Yuki’s back, clearly seeing the little overturned vinegar jar in his expression.
When they were little, the Eiru sisters and Jiaqi often visited each other’s homes to play. Even though Jiaqi had gone abroad for a while, Eiru and Eiya still occasionally went over to his place to freeload meals, for example when Ei Yuan and Liu Wan were not home.
So to make it easier for the kids to hang out together, both families had given them keys to each other’s front doors. That was why it was not strange at all for the sisters to have Jiaqi’s house key.
After entering, the house was very quiet. But judging from the shoes at the entrance, Jiaqi was obviously home. After confirming that, the two girls tiptoed over to the tightly shut bedroom door while Yuki watched helplessly.
They quietly twisted the handle and pushed it open a crack. Sure enough, a certain unlucky guy was lying on the bed wearing an eye mask, sleeping very comfortably through an afternoon nap.

“Hah, I knew it, you unlucky bastard are sleeping.”
Seeing nothing had happened, Her Majesty the Demon Lord let out a sigh of relief. But since he had made her worry for nothing, the little girl still felt a bit annoyed.
“Wake up, you unlucky bastard. The sun’s already on your butt!”
Eiru slapped the bed like she was beating a drum, leaving Yuki utterly baffled.
Because the Demon Lord was usually mischievous but not obnoxious. If someone was sleeping, at most she would quietly play a prank. Unless it was something important, she would never deliberately make noise to wake someone.
This unusually bratty behavior made Yuki frown. Even stranger was that Eiya just stood there watching her sister make a racket, with absolutely no intention of stopping her.
“Hm? Relax. He’s basically a pig. This level of noise won’t wake him.” Noticing Yuki’s look, the Demon Lord explained.
“How do I put it? He’s about the same as Stupid Yu. Once Stupid Qi falls asleep, unless you splash a basin of water on his face, even if you lift him up and throw him on the floor, he won’t wake.”
The description was exaggerated, but precisely because normal methods could not wake Jiaqi, the Demon Lord dared to mess around this freely.
Sure enough, Eiya had already very tacitly handed over a pen. The two sisters were preparing to create a masterpiece on the sleeping victim’s face.

“So Stupid Qi never sets alarms when he sleeps, because alarms can’t wake him. But he has a very magical special ability, something countless people dream of having.”
Jiaqi could decide before sleeping what time he wanted to wake up, and he would wake exactly on time. This strange physique of waking precisely at the set time and absolutely not before often made the sisters tease him as a mechanical pig.
“But we came to get him for lunch and games, right? Are you planning to wake him with a basin of cold water, or just wait here until he wakes up himself?”
Watching the sisters draw all over Jiaqi’s face, Yuki could barely stand to look. Helpless, he spoke up to remind them not to forget why they came.
“That’s easy. He’s hard to wake, not impossible. You just need a special method.”
Her drawing was basically finished. Hearing Yuki’s reminder, the Demon Lord prepared to summon her unlucky childhood friend out of dreamland.
“Just saying, Lu Brat, if you dare pull a Sleeping Beauty stunt, I’m grabbing your neck and spanking your butt till it swells.”
“Hey, as if. Do I have that little integrity?”
The two bantered half jokingly. Yuki suddenly noticed that when she heard her sister mention a special method, Eiya quietly stepped back a few steps and stood to the side with a slightly disdainful expression.
Yuki was still wondering about it when he saw his mischievous little girlfriend lean close to Jiaqi’s ear and, in a voice not loud but audible to everyone, slowly say one sentence.

“Wow, Little Ya’s actually wearing black stockings today~”
“Where?! Where?!”
The person on the bed shot upright like a carp leaping from water, yanked off his eye mask, and looked around. Then his gaze locked onto his childhood sweetheart’s slender legs not far away.
“You lied to me. Aren’t those clearly still white stockings? Though white ones are great too…”
Smack. Unable to hold it in anymore, Eiya puffed her cheeks, face red, rushed forward, and slapped Jiaqi hard on the forehead.
“???”
Still not fully awake, Jiaqi stared blankly at the back of his childhood sweetheart running out of the room, completely clueless about what had just happened.
When he saw his childhood friend laughing so hard he was doubled over and his good brother desperately holding back laughter, he finally realized something was wrong.
“Holy crap! Lu Brat! Why are you in my house?! Wait, what just happened?!”
