Demon King – Chapter 936 – Parents Who Do Not Expect Their Child to Become a Dragon

After saying goodbye to Qi Rong, the Little Demon Lord walked home, turning over the information she had just learned in her mind.

‘Come to think of it, I have never actually used magic to check Yunyue’s body or anything, have I? It is not like with Eiya. If I suddenly ran up to her and said let me examine your body, that would just count as harassment.’

‘Forced blanking out, huh? What a strange constitution. Sure, when I overuse my brain, I get fatigued and space out too. But at least if I grit my teeth and tank the intelligence debuff, I can still keep causing trouble.’

“Poor Yueyue. Why does every troublesome thing land on her? She is such a good person…”

Framed by her roommate, dealing with all sorts of problems at home, liking someone only to be harshly struck down, and now possibly having something physically wrong with her body?

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt on Yunyue’s behalf. Her Majesty the Demon Lord lightly kicked a small stone by the roadside, venting her displeasure that way.

“No! When she goes home during break, I have to go visit her!”

Simply interacting with Yunyue at school would not yield any useful information. Some things had to be asked face to face at her home. Even if someone tried to hide something, it would be easy to see through it in person.

While Eiru settled on this plan, Yuki in the dorm was also reviewing the information that Eiya had helped him gather.

Yuki’s guess had been correct. Although the three of them were not particularly close, Yu Qiu had indeed known Yunyue and Yunxing for quite some time.

And as the mischievous little devil girl everyone acknowledged as someone who loved stirring up fun and pulling pranks, someone who pursued the perfect prank for maximum amusement, of course she would thoroughly investigate her targets before making a big move.

So the information Yu Qiu had was far more than others imagined. Although no one knew what kind of prank she was planning that required digging into someone’s family background to such an extent.

“According to her, Sis Yunyue’s family isn’t very well-off. So their parents intended to concentrate their resources on cultivating just one child.”

A daughter would eventually marry out and belong to someone else’s family. That mindset made Yunyue and Yunxing’s parents lean even more toward investing in their son. Not to mention that Yunyue’s stepmother would naturally be more biased toward her own biological child.

What troubled and pained the two of them was that Yunyue had already shown intelligence and maturity from a young age. Compared to her younger brother, Yunyue was outstanding in every sense.

Originally, their plan had been simple. Yunyue only needed to live a plain and simple childhood and youth. Being successful did not matter. As long as she grew up to be an ordinary person and married into a suitable family, that would be enough.

But after seeing how exceptional their daughter was, they could not bear to hold her back. Favoring their son was one thing, but they could not just discard their daughter entirely.

Fine. We will grit our teeth and endure a bit of hardship.

Just when Yunyue’s parents had made that decision during her middle school years, an accident occurred.

“After that, Sis Yunyue’s grades plummeted. Yu Qiu doesn’t know what happened either. Maybe only her dad, her mom, and her younger brother know?”

When Eiya extracted this information from Yu Qiu, she had been shocked and regretful as well. Whatever mysterious accident had happened to Yunyue had directly destroyed what should have been her bright future.

When their daughter was no longer as intelligent and outstanding as before, Yunyue’s parents reverted to their original plan.

Let her live an ordinary, normal life.

They gave up on Yunyue and refocused on cultivating Yunxing. But unfortunately, the boy truly did not live up to expectations. His grades were mediocre, and he was not very obedient in daily life. Only in front of his older sister would he act like a well-behaved child.

And the accident had not only affected Yunyue. Not long after, Yunxing’s temperament also changed. He inexplicably went astray, even ceasing to care about the sister he had once adored. That transformation left their parents completely at a loss.

One child had turned from a phoenix into a crow. The other had always been average and difficult to discipline.

As time passed, the parents simply gave up altogether.

Whatever happens, happens. They could not be bothered with the siblings anymore.

Aside from providing sufficient living expenses each month or helping resolve difficulties when asked, at other times Yunyue and Yunxing’s parents were like nonexistent air.

“Although their parents didn’t create another account. Maybe they really can’t afford to raise more kids.”

Yu Qiu’s odd remark at the time had left Eiya speechless. With the serious yet mischievous smile on her face, no one could tell whether she was joking or speaking sincerely.

“Their parents are probably just too tired and don’t want to manage anymore. That’s understandable. And I think not having another younger sibling might also be because they don’t want to add more burden to the two of them?”

Yu Qiu held her twin ponytails and offered this strange analysis. She believed that Yunyue’s parents had now fully focused on securing their own retirement funds and no longer placed expectations on their two children.

As long as the two kids could take care of themselves, that was enough. These parents did not want to increase their burden further. They no longer expected their children to support them in old age. They just hoped the children would not drag them down in the process.

If the children could not rise to prominence, then let them live ordinary, peaceful lives and safely see out their days.

“Mm… So what exactly was that accident?”

After reading what Eiya had sent him, Yuki felt like he was reading a novel that cut off right before the big reveal.

There was plenty of useful information, except for the most crucial part. Without knowing what had happened to Yunyue and Yunxing, they could not address the problem properly.

“Sigh. I guess we just do what we can. If there’s no way, then there’s no way…”

Yuki sighed. Thinking about his girlfriend’s temperament, he steeled himself and continued investigating.

For ordinary people helping a friend, if something was extremely difficult, backing off with an apology would be understandable, right?

But that mischievous loli was not like that. When it came to her friends’ matters, she would not stop until she achieved her goal.

Fulfilling what you promised was a good habit.

But completely disregarding your own abilities and the difficulty of the situation was not.

“Good thing she’s loaded with cheat abilities. There should be a way, right?”

Thinking about the pile of strange magic and authorities on Eiru’s body, she did have the capital to ignore such concerns. In her eyes, ordinary troubles were not really a big deal.

With a helpless smile, Yuki briefly organized the information.

Before evening self-study, he would wait for his girlfriend to get home and then share all the intelligence he had gathered with her.

Translator Note

Oh, yes, marry Yunyue to another rich family.

Seems my prediction this time would come true again.

Jixian is rich, right?

Sigh…
