Demon King – Chapter 906 – You’re Going Out in This Weather?

After disciplining the child, Xixia directly shut down the computer, leaving behind a little ghost standing there going “waaah waaah” fake crying.

She’s even learned how to fake cry now. Who knows what the heck this kid has been learning online. Watching a girl who used to be completely disconnected from society turn into this crafty little gremlin, the Hero Girl felt utterly speechless.

“If the little Demon Lord saw you like this, who knows if she’d blame me for not supervising you properly…”

Xixia muttered softly. Meanwhile Shang, who had lost access to the computer, started stirring up trouble again out of boredom.

If you don’t let her play on the computer, she can soak in the internet for days and nights without sleeping, more hardworking than those game gold farming studios. But the only time the little ghost behaves is when she’s gaming or watching TV. Cut off her computer, and she’s guaranteed to cause trouble.

Like right now, the little thing floated over and tugged on Xixia’s arm, whining that she was bored at home and wanted to go out and play.

‘Go out and play? Are you serious…’

Glancing at the howling wind and torrential rain outside, a few drops of cold sweat slid down the Hero Girl’s forehead. Even with a body far stronger than ordinary people, she still couldn’t stroll around outside in typhoon weather.

“No, in this kind of weather where exactly do you want to go? Ghosts might not be afraid of typhoons since the wind can’t blow you away… but try wandering outside in your physical state if you’ve got the guts.”

“I can though. The wind can’t blow me away anyway. If Master’s scared, just grab onto me when I materialize and you’ll be fine.”

‘Right, forgot this brat weighs twenty tons.’

Xixia covered her face with one hand, thinking about how to kill this little thing’s idea of going out in this hellish weather.

“So where exactly are you trying to go out to in weather like this? Everywhere’s closed, okay?”

“That place you mentioned the other day… what’s it called… the hospital inpatient building or something. I wanna go there!”

‘Good grief. Other people pray that they and their loved ones stay safe and never have to go near a place like that their whole lives, and you’re trying to run toward it yourself?’

Grumbling inwardly, the Hero Girl was also a little curious what exactly was there that could attract this little thing who hadn’t left home for who knows how many decades…

And the internet probably wouldn’t encourage something like that, right? Could it be she watched too many horror movies and thought there’d be some “big and small cuties” ghosts and monsters for her to play with over there?

“It’s just… I feel like there might be someone there I know. Because there’s a really familiar aura!”

As soon as Shang said that, Xixia got even more confused. Ever since the day they brought this girl out of the abandoned campus, they had all used their own methods to help investigate her background.

Eiru and Yuki even asked Officer Li for help, hoping he could use his position to check archives and things like that to see if there was any information matching Shang’s identity.

Rеаԁ оո КаtReαⅾinɡCаfе

But after all this time, they still knew absolutely nothing about Shang’s identity. Mainly because the scope was too wide and the information too vague. No name, no address, no age…

Even the person involved couldn’t provide any useful clues. All she knew was that she used to be one of the Daughters of Amber Crystal. With nothing else to go on, how were others supposed to find anything?

Before becoming a ghost, Shang had stayed at home her whole life and never gone out, which meant she couldn’t provide any clues about the era she lived in when she was still human.

And after taking on that responsibility, she only came out of her own ghost home once every who knows how many years… not to mention the time flow inside that ghost home was different from outside.

Based on the information they had and the pattern that a Daughter of Amber Crystal appears once every five years, the little Demon Lord guessed Shang was already over a hundred years old. After all, they knew of quite a few Daughters of Amber Crystal already, so she definitely couldn’t have been born recently.

With zero clues, and now Shang suddenly saying there might be someone she knew in the hospital ward building, Xixia couldn’t help reconsidering whether they should actually go check it out.

Still, going out in this weather was out of the question. Better tell the little Demon Lord another day. Just in case, it’d be best if she came along. Thinking this, the Hero Girl reached out and pinched the little girl’s cheeks.

“I’ll take you later. We’ll bring the little Demon Lord along too… if we really can find someone you know or learn something about your background.”

‘Besides, a place like a hospital isn’t somewhere you can just wander into whenever you want. With Eiru helping cover for them, it’d be easier for the few of them to sneak in.’

“But if I happen to be busy and can’t go that day, try not to cause trouble for the little Demon Lord, okay? She looks lively now, but actually her condition isn’t that great.”

“Huh? What’s wrong with her?”

Hearing Xixia’s warning, Shang looked puzzled. When she beat her up that day she was pretty fierce, and the few times they met after that she seemed fine. Why suddenly say her condition wasn’t good?

“How should I put it… to some extent it’s because of you. But don’t worry too much. The main reason is that evil Demon Lord messing around.”

—————

Because the weather was hot, by midday the little Demon Lord was already feeling unbearable and wanted to take a bath. With no choice, Yuki braced himself and brought the girl into the bathroom, helping her wash that soft silver white long hair…

“Mmm~ Stupid Yuki is really good at washing hair~ Sure enough, compared to washing it myself, having someone help is way better~”

Sitting on a small stool with her eyes closed, feeling Yuki knead her foam covered hair, that massage like sensation made Her Majesty the Demon Lord somewhat addicted.

Yuki smiled and didn’t say anything, lowering his head to continue his practiced work. This girl’s hair quality really was amazing, and paired with that faint fragrance, washing her hair honestly felt like a kind of enjoyment.

“By the way Stupid Yuki, after you finish washing mine, want me to wash yours?”

“No, I’ll pass… I’m used to showering at night.”

Reaⅾ οո КαtRеαԁіnɡСаfе

Smiling, he refused Eiru’s suggestion, saying bathing wasn’t really troublesome for him, so he didn’t need to spend even that bit of time sticking close to her.

“Actually Stupid Yuki, you dragged me over to stay at your house… you wanted to take care of me these days, right?”

Hearing that, Yuki’s hands paused. After seeing the cute smiling face turned toward him, he sighed helplessly.

“You figured it out?”

“Well yeah. You were way too eager this time when you pulled me over to stay. Asking my parents, asking your dad and all… and actually that question should’ve been mine. You noticed, didn’t you?”

“Yeah… your physical condition’s a little off. But it doesn’t seem like you’re sick.”

Normally this girl had magic protecting her body, basically like having a built in air conditioner. Complaining about how unbearably hot it was like she had lately was something that normally wouldn’t come out of her mouth at all…

But it couldn’t be mana exhaustion or illness either, so Yuki had no idea what exactly was going on with Eiru. Even though there wasn’t any danger, he still judged that right now she probably needed close personal care from him.
