Demon King – Chapter 950 – Shock

Looking at this little girl who had popped out of nowhere, the group of hooligans exchanged glances, unable to react for a moment.

Normally, everyone else avoided them like the plague. Even if a few bold ones wandered in, the moment they saw this bunch, they’d be scared out of their wits and run off in panic.

But someone like Yu Qiu, who not only dared to walk straight into their turf but even tried to get friendly the moment she saw them, was truly a first. Not to mention she was a girl.

Of course, one person was an exception.

The moment he saw that ridiculously familiar pink twin ponytail, Yunxing’s eyes practically shot fire. He wanted nothing more than to march over right now and kick the brat a couple times so she’d learn what real-life consequences felt like.

Noticing Yunxing’s gaze that practically screamed he wanted to beat her up, Yu Qiu shrank back a little, feeling guilty. But she had already come all this way. She couldn’t just get scared off by a single look. That would be way too lame.

“So what are you big brothers doing gathered together like this? Let me join you~ I think you guys are super cool~”

One of them, quicker to react, sized up Yu Qiu’s bizarre outfit and her unusual hair color. He immediately judged that this little girl was definitely no well-behaved good student.

“Oh? Looking at you like this, you’re a bit small, but you’re quite the little beauty… You really came running over here because you want to play with your big brothers? Just so you know, we don’t have money to give you~”

Who knew which family this bad little girl had run out from. She looked tender at barely one fifty, but the guys had never touched a woman in their lives. With such a pretty little thing delivering herself to their doorstep for free, why not take advantage?

“Mm… that’s not the kind of playing I meant~”

Clever as she was, Yu Qiu instantly caught the hidden meaning in his words. She was still a girl. She came to stir up trouble and have fun, not to throw herself into the wolf’s den for real.

But once a sheep entered the tiger’s mouth, the hooligans weren’t about to care about that. They surrounded Yu Qiu, grinning wickedly as their hands reached out, ready to cop a feel and savor this prey that had walked right up to them.

“Come here.”

Just as things were about to get troublesome, a cool voice sounded. Yu Qiu was suddenly yanked away by a hand. Losing her balance, she stumbled straight into someone’s chest.

“Xingzi, what’s this?”

Seeing Yunxing suddenly pull the pink-haired girl into his arms, the group looked like they’d just seen a ghost. Didn’t he hate women the most? And now he was taking the initiative to drag a girl into his arms? What the hell, did the sun rise in the west?

“Holy shit, Xingzi actually?!”

“Love at first sight? Fell for her? So this is his type?”

Surrounded by teasing and banter from his brothers, Yunxing’s head was already pounding. Lowering his gaze to the troublemaker in his arms, blinking her big eyes up at him, his head hurt even more.

“Well, if Xingzi likes her that much, you can go first… After that we’ll—”

“Yeah, rare to see woman-hating Xingzi take the initiative with a girl…”

One of the hooligans who usually liked to stir things up generously offered to let Yunxing have first dibs on this rare prey. The others chimed in. But Yunxing’s next sentence almost made them choke on their own spit.

“She’s my girlfriend. She came to find me.”

‘Huh? What? What the hell did he just say? Xingzi’s girlfriend? You’ve got to be kidding…’

Their eyes widened like copper bells. It wasn’t that they didn’t trust their brother. It was just that this was way too outrageous.

“Hoo, so why did you come here? I told you to stay put… Aren’t you skipping evening study?”

Suppressing the urge to smack Yu Qiu across the head, Yunxing forced himself to speak gently so the lie wouldn’t fall apart. Seeing his rare display of kindness, the hooligans’ jaws nearly hit the floor.

“Mm… I was just bored~ Little Gorilla, take me with you, okay?”

‘Fuck, they really do know each other?!’

Hearing that intimate nickname from Yu Qiu’s mouth, they had no choice but to believe it.

Unbelievable. He had a refined, elegant older sister and now a mischievous loli girlfriend. He could fight, and he was the only one among them who got into high school… What kind of life-winning, brains-and-brawn combo was this?

“In a bit we’re going to talk business with Huzi’s group. Isn’t it a bad idea to bring her?”

One of them reminded. Their leader quickly made a decision.

“Xingzi, five minutes. Finish up and get back here.”

“Huh? Take me—” Hearing they were about to send her away, Yu Qiu immediately got restless, only to be rewarded with a solid knock on the head.

“Wah… Little Gorilla hit me. He never dares to hit me.”

Black lines covered Yunxing’s face. He knew full well his lie was full of holes. He had only stunned his brothers temporarily.

If they stayed any longer, it might unravel. Grabbing Yu Qiu, who was fake-crying, Yunxing prepared to drag her out of the alley. But just then, their leader called out.

“Wait.”

The leader walked over to them, sizing up Yu Qiu, who looked visibly nervous. Placing a hand on Yunxing’s shoulder, he leaned in and spoke quietly.

“I don’t know when you got yourself a girl, but keep your own woman under control. Don’t let something happen and make everyone lose face.”

Unlike the useless bunch under him who only knew how to fight and drift through life, the leader clearly had some capability. Otherwise he wouldn’t be able to maneuver between several larger gangs while keeping this ragtag group afloat and living relatively comfortably.

From Yu Qiu’s outfit, her speech, to her behavior, she was clearly trying to lean into the delinquent punk girl image. But the immaturity and restraint in her movements hadn’t escaped his sharp eyes.

He had seen real delinquent girls before. None of them would start panicking the moment they were harassed like Yu Qiu just had.

Probably another rebellious, clueless little girl yelling about wanting to learn to be bad. He’d seen plenty of these troublesome brats.

“I don’t know which family’s rebellious kid she is, but joining our circle isn’t as simple as saying you want to be bad… You understand that. Handle her problem yourself.”

“Of course, if she truly wants in, I welcome her. But once she’s in, what she has to do won’t be up to her anymore… And one last thing.”

“Since you want to protect her, I’ll turn a blind eye this time. You know those guys have never touched a woman in their lives. If there’s a next time, I won’t be able to stop them.”

Lowering his voice so only the two of them could hear, the leader gave Yunxing a final warning before turning away, calling the others to continue preparing.

Yunxing didn’t dare linger. Grabbing Yu Qiu firmly, he dragged the little girl straight out of the alley…
