Demon King – Chapter 940 – The Nemesis of the Little Devil

“Waaah, Sister Yunyue, Little Gorilla is bullying me…”

After losing track of Yunxing yet again, Yu Qiu was wandering around in frustration when she happened to spot Yunyue out buying something. Without hesitation, the little girl threw herself into the arms of the long-unseen big sister and started fake crying.

“Huh? What did he do? And these injuries… did he cause them? That can’t be right. Xing has never hit girls.”

Noticing the thick bandages wrapped around Yu Qiu’s hands, Yunyue’s heart tightened. The thought that her own younger brother might have lashed out briefly flashed through her mind, but she quickly dismissed it.

“He won’t play with me! He’s always avoiding me!”

“Ah… is that so? Well, he doesn’t like girls. It’s pretty normal that he won’t play with you.”

Realizing the injuries had nothing to do with Yunxing, Yunyue let out a sigh of relief and helplessly rubbed Yu Qiu’s head. With her brother already out of her control, she honestly didn’t know how to comfort this girl.

Of course, Yu Qiu didn’t dare mention that she actually wanted to follow Yunxing to check out his delinquent gang. If she said that, she would definitely get a lecture from Yunyue.

As for Yunxing, whenever he was asked about this matter, he couldn’t even be bothered to explain. He would just brush it off with vague responses. So Yunyue was completely unaware of the true reason behind Yu Qiu constantly pestering her brother.

But then again, was Yu Qiu’s enthusiasm for harassing Yunxing really just because she wanted to see what delinquents were like?

The little Demon Lord, observing from the shadows, watched the interaction between the older and younger girls. For a moment, her loli instincts made her want to run over and act spoiled too… Forget it. She could just find Stupid Yuki later.

After not seeing each other for a long time, the two girls found a place to sit and rest, and it seemed like they had endless topics to talk about. Though in reality, it was mostly Yu Qiu talking nonstop while Yunyue simply smiled and listened.

“Little Gorilla is so fierce now!”

“That’s just his temper… You’ve known each other for so long.”

Since childhood, Yunxing had always been wary of the people around him. Thinking back to the little boy who used to hide behind her, Yunyue couldn’t help feeling a bit sad.

“So Sister Yunyue, you really don’t remember?”

“Hm? Remember what?”

Yu Qiu suddenly tossed out that line for no apparent reason. Yunyue was caught off guard, and seeing her confused expression, the little girl just shook her head and continued playing the riddler.

“It’s nothing. I heard about it before, but it’s probably better that you don’t remember.”

Back in middle school, quite a few students, including Yu Qiu, had heard rumors circulating throughout the school. Supposedly, something had happened to the Yunyue and Yunxing siblings.

Although the gossip spread widely, it seemed the school had deliberately concealed the details. Everyone only knew that something had happened to the two of them, but no one could explain what exactly it was.

In the end, nobody ever found out the truth. The rumors about the siblings remained just rumors. Before long, the buzz faded, and life went on as usual.

However, as someone who had relatively closer contact with the siblings, Yu Qiu had secretly investigated the matter in private. Not only for the sake of entertainment, but also for that big sister who had always cared for and doted on her.

Though Yu Qiu was clever and resourceful in causing trouble, she was still just a middle school student at the time. After digging as much as she could, she only discovered that Yunyue’s family had reached some kind of agreement with the school and certain students’ families.

The only ones who truly knew what had happened were probably Little Gorilla and the other people directly involved.

Thinking this to herself, it wasn’t as if Yu Qiu had never tried to pry something out of Yunyue.

Given Yunyue’s personality and the way she doted on her, she probably wouldn’t have hidden anything. But the strange thing was, Yunyue seemed to have absolutely no memory of what happened that day. No matter how Yu Qiu asked, she would only look at her in confusion, having no idea what she was talking about.

As for the Demon Lord hiding nearby, after reporting to Yuki, she had previously taken advantage of an opportunity to examine Yunyue while they were alone. Of course, she had only examined her brain. As a pure-hearted little virgin, she did not have the guts to offend a girl in any improper way.

The results were just as Eiru had expected. There was a long-standing blockage in Yunyue’s brain, severely affecting her thinking and even impairing her memory to some extent.

Of course, as a nearly omnipotent walking bug, there were practically no problems that the little Demon Lord couldn’t solve. But Yunyue’s condition was indeed somewhat tricky. She couldn’t act rashly for now.

The issue had accumulated for far too long, and it involved the brain, an organ that could not be treated carelessly. Even if she were to resolve it in one go, it would require an extremely long time.

One reason was the previously mentioned accumulation of disordered mana. The other was that Her Majesty the Demon Lord currently couldn’t sustain such a long period of high-precision work.

If her mental state faltered even slightly and she made a mistake, causing some kind of problem, Eiru would blame herself for the rest of her life.

She definitely had to deal with it, but only after making thorough preparations.

Still, through this investigation, Eiru had grasped quite a few clues. At the very least, she could narrow down a few people who knew the truth. Even if they couldn’t provide much information, as long as she knew the approximate time and place, she could use her authority to recreate the scene from back then.

“Who even remembers that I originally promised to help Yunyue discipline her brother…”

She muttered softly to herself. What had seemed like such a simple matter had somehow dragged in so many people and events. Why did it feel like things were getting more and more troublesome?

The two girls continued chatting and laughing happily. But suddenly, Yunyue seemed to remember something. Her expression turned serious as she reached out and pinched Yu Qiu’s cheeks.

“Yu Qiu, you’re not a day student, right? Why are you outside at this hour? Don’t you have evening self-study?”

‘Oh no, I have been found out.’

Yu Qiu’s heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face stiffened. Yunyue was wonderful in every way, except that sometimes she would transform into a nagging mother figure and start lecturing.

“Sister, actually I came out because there was a rea—”

“You skipped class again? Hurry back to school!”

Cutting off Yu Qiu’s attempt at an excuse, Yunyue, fully aware of the girl’s dishonest tendencies, wasn’t about to be fooled by such a clumsy lie.

With her overwhelming big sister instinct, Yunyue practically regarded Yu Qiu as her own little sister. She had failed to keep her own brother on the right path. She absolutely couldn’t make the same mistake with this little sister.

“Sister, sister! Don’t pinch! I’ll go back! I know I was wrong!”

The little devil who usually gave everyone headaches and was impossible to read had no temper at all in front of Yunyue. Completely suppressed, she obediently submitted without a trace of resistance.
