Demon King – Chapter 931 – Be More Proactive, Got It?

“Wait, are you serious? Pfft…”

Even though she knew it was just Hui Jiaqi shooting his mouth off without thinking, Her Majesty the Demon Lord still could not hold it in and burst out laughing.

Who else could your wife be? Isn’t it just Eiya? Sure, Eiya had been pampered since childhood, but when it came to housework and daily living, she at least knew a thing or two. It was not like she was some kind of complete idiot.

“She’s definitely better than you at grocery shopping. But are you really sure you want her helping you buy groceries?”

‘That certain little loli’s rebellious spirit and so-called innovation in the kitchen was something everyone had witnessed with their own eyes. Hui Jiaqi, if you hand over control of the raw ingredients to her, do you still expect to eat normal food in the future?’

“Uh… forget it. I’ll just go to the supermarket myself next time. And I was joking anyway. A wife or whatever is meant to be spoiled, right?”

Coming back to his senses, Hui Jiaqi imagined the scene Eiru had just described and immediately chickened out. He had no desire to see his tongue permanently crippled under his little childhood sweetheart’s culinary torture.

Besides, fear was one thing. With his somewhat male chauvinistic mindset, Hui Jiaqi could never really push all those trivial chores onto his childhood sweetheart. If he let that little loli handle everything, that would be pretty embarrassing for a man.

To put it bluntly, in that regard he was actually quite similar to Yuki. The type who would rather spoil their wives into useless little girls than let them get tired.

Of course, the two strong willed sisters would never agree to being raised into uselessness anyway.

“Not bad. Makes sense. Just like this macho man right here. I dote on my wife a lot.”

The little Demon Lord nodded, reaching a macho consensus with Hui Jiaqi on this point. Although hearing those words come out of her mouth felt rather subtle.

“Uh, are you sure you’re not the one being doted on by Yuki?”

“What are you talking about? I’m his husband. And besides, don’t I dote on him too? Look, I was even worried he’d have nothing to eat at home at noon, so I’m going over to cook for him.”

She lifted the bag in her hand, proudly showing off her wifely power.

“Alright, alright, I won’t argue with you. But you ran out like this, what about Eiya? Your parents should be home today, right?”

“Mm? No idea. Why don’t you go to my house and check?”

Instead of answering directly, the little Demon Lord’s brain came up with another mischievous idea. She grinned wickedly and deliberately left Hui Jiaqi hanging.

“Forget it. Eiya is probably still mad at me…”

That day after school, he had been fighting wits with thin air, which directly led to the two of them sitting in each other’s classrooms until it was almost evening self study.

As for the silver-haired couple who knew the truth, they had run off laughing and watching the show, just leaving this pair of childhood sweethearts to awkwardly swap classrooms.

The most ridiculous part was that it was not like they had never suspected anything. They had even gone back to their own classrooms to check. But perhaps that was what made them childhood sweethearts. They returned at exactly the same time and perfectly missed each other.

The result was that Eiya became convinced she had been stood up and angrily took a taxi home alone. Hui Jiaqi, who lived on campus and still had evening self study, could not immediately run over to explain himself even though he was suffering in silence.

Over the next few days until the weekend, the sulking Eiya stopped waiting for him after school. On top of that, the seniors in third year got out later than the first years. By the time Hui Jiaqi rushed over after his own classes, that little loli had already slipped home.

It was not like he could not look for her during breaks. But sensing that she was angry, and being somewhat timid to begin with, Hui Jiaqi did not dare to step on that landmine when he had no idea how to coax her.

These past few days, they had not seen each other at all. Even asking about each other’s recent situation was done entirely through Eiru as the middleman.

“Seriously, I’m starting to doubt whether you two are even childhood sweethearts,” the little Demon Lord rolled her eyes at him. “Even if you went abroad, you wouldn’t just lose your memory, right? What exactly did you experience over there?”

‘You two grew up together. Don’t you understand that silly little loli’s personality? She’s just a mild and not very obvious tsundere. When has she ever truly been angry at someone close to her?’

‘Though come to think of it, I’m not really qualified to talk either…’

At that thought, Her Majesty the Demon Lord felt a bit embarrassed. Back then, her relationship with Eiya had also been pretty tense.

“Listen to your big bro for once. Take advantage of this wonderful weekend and go spend some time with her. That girl has never needed anyone to coax her. When you messed with her as kids, she never actually got mad, did she?”

Casually patting Hui Jiaqi on the back, Eiru put on the air of an experienced senior giving heartfelt advice. Every time it’s been my sister taking the initiative between you two. As the guy, you need to show something sometimes, right?

‘Besides, if she were really angry, she wouldn’t be asking me every day how you’ve been lately.’

‘And during breaks these past few days, she, who used to love going to the convenience store, has been sitting obediently at her seat. Even when her classmates called her, she would not leave. Some things are so obvious, yet you’re the only idiot who cannot see them.’

‘I cannot say whether she has fallen for you or not. But as childhood sweethearts, Stupid Qi, you really have no idea how much you matter to her.’

“Anyway, my parents won’t be home until tonight. She’s alone at home right now. Your house is empty too. I’m giving you a chance at a private two person world. Don’t disappoint me. Make good use of it.”

Hearing his childhood friend put it that way, Hui Jiaqi was indeed moved. He felt that he really should go over and show some initiative. Having made up his mind and about to change his destination toward the sisters’ home, he suddenly realized something.

“Wait. If your parents aren’t home, you just left her alone… You weren’t planning to come find me from the start, were you?”

Only now did Hui Jiaqi belatedly recall that whether it was Yuki’s house or Eiru’s house, both were quite far from here.

Sure, distance meant nothing to her since she could fly. But no matter how you looked at it, she would not come all the way over here just to buy groceries. Was I her original target all along?

“Mm? Guess?”

The little Demon Lord blinked playfully, not answering his question. That reaction only made Hui Jiaqi feel even more like he had been set up.

“Alright, alright, hurry up and get over there. If Eiya ends up hungry later, I’ll come after you.”

“The hell, you still dare say that? Weren’t you the one who ditched your sister to go find Yuki? Plastic sisterhood.”

“Want me to kick you?”

“Don’t, don’t, I was wrong…” Seeing Eiru raise her foot threateningly, Hui Jiaqi immediately surrendered. With her little arms and legs, he could not afford to take a hit.

“If I’d known I was going to your place, I wouldn’t have bought these groceries. Damn it.”

“If you’re really that scared, I’ve got another method. I can turn you into a loli before you go.”

“Get lost. I’m her boyfriend. What’s there to be scared of?”
