Demon King – Chapter 922 – Different Thinking Modes

What do you mean he’s Yunyue’s little brother; we’re here to observe and gather information, we shouldn’t fight; figure things out first and don’t be impulsive… You think that’s what Yuki was going to say? No. Hearing Eiru’s thoughts, his answer was only two words.

“Go ahead.”

If there was any reason that might make Yuki hesitate, it would only be that a certain loli’s current physical condition wasn’t suitable for using magic. But even he was already boiling with anger from what he had just seen. At a time like this, there was no way he would stop the little loli beside him who was bristling with fury.

“Then Stupid Yuki, you go comfort Yueyue. I’ll deal with her little brother. She probably hasn’t run far. You should be able to catch up.”

The moment they jumped down from the wall, pulled by Eiru, the little Demon Lord threw out a line that instantly made Yuki’s blood pressure spike. What kind of person pushes her own boyfriend to be alone with another girl?!

‘You’re telling me to go comfort another girl by myself? Should I say Lu Brat has a huge heart, or that she just doesn’t know how to get jealous at all? And I’m not even good at this kind of thing. You think everyone’s as easy to comfort as you?!’

“Isn’t your relationship with Yueyue perfectly normal? I’m not that unreasonable… She’s really upset right now. Stupid Yuki, hurry up.”

Pushing him while urging him forward, Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s mind was filled with how sad Yunyue must be at this moment. She definitely needed comfort right now. And since she herself needed to teach someone a lesson and couldn’t split her attention, this kind of thing naturally had to be handed to Yuki.

“Lu Brat.” Yuki suddenly reached out and pinched Eiru’s cheek. “Switch to that demonized mode. Now. Immediately.”

“?”

Though confused, the little Demon Lord still did as he said. She closed her eyes and when she opened them again, black stars once more appeared in her pupils, accompanied by a clear shift in aura and temperament.

“I’m going to be alone with Yunyue to comfort her. You okay with that?”

“No. Not okay. I don’t agree! You’re mine. If you dare go with another girl—”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord suddenly released killing intent, but halfway through she seemed to realize something. The black stars in her pupils faded back to white, and her face flushed red instantly.

“N-No… Stupid Yuki, this…”

“Still okay with me going to comfort Yunyue?” Yuki teased her, watching this dramatic contrast before and after, almost laughing inside.

“It’s different! My thinking mode in those two states is different… And just to be clear, this isn’t split personality!”

Waving her hands in embarrassment and indignation, the little Demon Lord knew that Yuki had already completely figured out her demonized state and had now added it to his teasing toolkit. It’s only been a few days. Why are you already this skilled at it?

In her normal state, if she heard something like Yuki being alone with another girl, she would first think it through in her head.

She would sort out the situation and the reasons, combine that with her trust in Yuki, and ultimately reach the conclusion that there was no need to mind it or feel jealous.

But the demonized state was different. That state, filled with wildness and instinct, basically did not think things through at all.

At times like that, the moment she heard Yuki was going to be alone with another girl, she wouldn’t think about anything. She would just bluntly express the displeasure in her heart.

“So do you still want me to go comfort Yunyue?” Yuki continued teasing his little girlfriend who was radiating contrast energy, then felt his hand being grabbed.

“W-Wait for me a bit. Let’s… go together later…”

Blushing, the little Demon Lord muttered in a voice so soft it was almost inaudible. Seeing how adorable she looked, Yuki couldn’t help but lean down and plant a fierce kiss on her cheek.

—————

“Why’d you chase your sister away again? It’s always like this. I still wanted to get familiar with her…”

Watching Yunxing return alone, the others could already guess what had happened. One of the delinquents even slung an arm over his shoulder.

“Yeah, yeah. Your sister’s a rare little beauty. Not introducing her to us is really not cool.”

“So annoying, and you guys actually like that.” Yunxing shot them a look of disdain and sat back down, quietly putting the lunchbox away.

Though his movements were natural and subtle, they still noticed the lunchbox in his hand and all their gazes turned toward it.

“Your sister made that? Nice, I’ve barely tried her cooking.”

“Stop messing around. That’s my wife, right, Xingzi? You’d definitely be fine with me becoming your future brother-in-law, huh?”

Watching them bicker and try to grab the lunchbox, Yunxing looked helpless. Just as he was about to say something, a crushing pressure suddenly filled the entire alley, slamming down on the few of them.

“?!”

Not knowing what was going on, they all turned toward the alley entrance. There, a silver-haired loli with a gentle smile on her face was slowly walking toward them step by step.

The source of the invisible pressure quickly became obvious. Looking at that adorable yet terrifying figure that was practically etched into their DNA, the delinquents swallowed hard, not daring to act rashly.

The silver-haired loli curled one hand into a claw, her fingers plunging deep into the wall beside her. As she walked forward step by step, the red brick wall offered no resistance at all. Under her fingers it was like plunging into loose rice at a supermarket, leaving behind several horrifying grooves.

“I think we didn’t provoke you today, right… There shouldn’t be any need for us to be at odds?”

Under the overwhelming pressure, the leader among them stepped forward to negotiate with the little fiend in front of them. In his view, they were just hanging out today. There shouldn’t have been any reason to offend this little ancestor.

“Mm~ You’re right. I’m reasonable too… The others can go. You stay.”

After thinking it over and acknowledging that the others weren’t really involved, the little Demon Lord accepted the negotiation. She simply pointed at Yunxing, naming him to stay behind.

Seeing how this was unfolding, they all realized that this little ancestor had come specifically for Yunxing. After hesitating for a moment, though leaving him alone here wasn’t exactly loyal, the brothers couldn’t just get wiped out for no reason either.

With that in mind, the leader leaned in and whispered a few words into Yunxing’s ear, then agreed to Eiru’s proposal and quickly left the scene with the others.

“I know what you’re here for. It’s because of her, right?” Though left alone to face Eiru, Yunxing showed no fear on his face, as if he had expected this all along.

“Good. That makes it easy. I’ll give you two choices. Go apologize, or eat a punch.”

“I only do what I believe is right. Even if it’s you, if I don’t want to do something, you can’t force me.”

“So there’s no room to talk?” The little Demon Lord smiled, but the resentment bottled up in her heart only grew fiercer at his attitude.

‘Beat him half to death. Leave him breathing. Be careful not to leave visible injuries…’

Thinking this, Her Majesty the Demon Lord raised her fist. Opposite her, Yunxing very sensibly closed his eyes.

But halfway through the swing, Eiru’s fist suddenly stopped in midair. Looking at Yunxing’s reaction and posture in response to her attack, a trace of confusion and hesitation appeared on her face.

After a long moment, the little Demon Lord lowered her fist.

Yuki, who had just arrived, looked at the scene in confusion. Before he could say anything, she suddenly turned around and pulled him out of the alley.

“Lu Brat? What’s wrong? Not hitting him?”

“I’m not sure… But I’m still really angry.” Faced with Yuki’s confusion, Her Majesty the Demon Lord only left him with that baffling sentence.

“We’ll test him again next time. Even if I beat him now, it wouldn’t do much. Let’s settle it together next time…”
