Demon King – Chapter 951 – Naughty Loli Meets a Bratty Little Devil

“Have you played enough yet? I’ve already been more than patient with you. Can you stop causing me trouble?”

Once they were out of the alley, Yunxing no longer needed to keep up the act. He shoved the girl behind him forward. The force was so sudden that Yu Qiu, caught off guard, stumbled several steps and almost fell flat onto the ground.

“Waaah, Little Gorilla, you’re so mean! Don’t you know you’re supposed to be gentle with girls?!”

“So mean. You were just saying I’m your girlfriend a second ago~ hehe. Little Gorilla, don’t tell me you actually really like me?”

After tossing out that strange complaint, Yu Qiu instinctively continued teasing him. But when she turned and saw the blank, emotionless look on his face, she quickly shut her mouth.

‘Uh oh… did I actually make him mad this time?’

“I honestly don’t know what’s going on in your head. You just had to run in there and offer yourself up, huh? Do you even know what kind of place that is? If you want to ruin yourself, go find any random alley and walk in. Plenty of people will be happy to ‘satisfy’ you. Don’t come to mine.”

Yunxing had thought that no matter how much Yu Qiu messed around, she wouldn’t actually go this far. Usually she talked about following him, but at the very least she didn’t dare casually step into an alley like that.

“If you won’t think about yourself, at least think about how much my sister cares about you. I seriously almost left you there. Do you have any idea what would’ve happened to you if you stayed?”

“But… weren’t you there, Little Gorilla? And besides, if I blended in as a delinquent girl and got along with them, they probably wouldn’t just make a move on me, right?”

With her hands behind her back, she stuck out her tongue playfully. Even while being scolded, Yu Qiu looked a little sheepish.

“Ha. Do you even know what the prerequisite for ‘blending in’ is? Do you seriously think we’re some kind of heroes robbing the rich and helping the poor?”

He sneered coldly at the pink-haired girl in front of him. They’d known each other since middle school, even earlier. Yunxing knew exactly where this strange fixation of hers came from.

“I know you were once saved by someone like us. I get that you’re grateful and maybe admire that. But can you stop being this naive?”

Yunxing didn’t know what mindset or motive that so-called hooligan back then had when he helped Yu Qiu. He didn’t know the exact details either. He only knew that something like that had happened. It was only today that he realized how much that incident had influenced the girl in front of him.

“I’ll say it again. Stop dreaming. We’re just a bunch of trash who bully the weak. The world isn’t as nice as you think.”

“Then if that’s the case, why did you protect me, Little Gorilla?”

Before he could finish scolding her, the girl suddenly grinned and launched a direct counterattack.

“Don’t say it, let me guess~ Is it because… you only do what you believe is right, right?”

She mimicked his usual tone, repeating his personal motto. Seeing her acting like she was pouring fuel on the fire, Yunxing grew even more irritated. He wanted to slap her twice just to wake her up.

He’d already said more than enough. Whether she listened was her own problem. Yunxing, who had never liked her in the first place, no longer intended to keep arguing. He gave her a firm shove outward and turned to head back into the alley.

“Little Gorilla.”

Yu Qiu suddenly dropped her usual carefree attitude and called out seriously to the boy in front of her.

“Even if you like putting yourself down, I know… you’re actually very gentle, aren’t you? So… you’re not trash at all.”

“Then let me give you one more piece of advice…” Yunxing sighed. “Stop showing off how smart you are out there. It’ll only bring you… forget it. You’d probably just be happy if you got into trouble anyway.”

With that, he walked back into the alley without looking back, leaving the pink-haired girl standing alone outside. For a brief moment, her expression looked somewhat lonely.

“Sigh, didn’t manage to build a good relationship… I thought I could blend in and become some big shot.”

Seeing how things had turned out, Yu Qiu knew she couldn’t just wander back into the alley again. Still, at least she now knew the location. It wasn’t a total loss. She could always find another opportunity later.

With that thought, she turned to head back toward school. It was just a pity that she’d put so much effort into this outfit to blend in with the hooligans. She’d have to fix it before going back in, or she wouldn’t even be allowed through the gate.

“Yo, had a fight?”

She had only taken a few steps when she heard a somewhat familiar voice. Turning her head, she realized that at some point a black-haired loli holding a milk tea had appeared beside her.

“Huh? Aren’t you Senior Li Yuki’s girlfri— oh! Senior sister!”

‘Hm? That’s a first.’

Her Majesty the Demon Lord, sipping milk tea, felt slightly surprised.

Given her stature, most people tended to assume Yuxi was some heavy-industry worker. It was rare for someone to directly recognize her as someone close to adulthood.

“You do give off a bit of a childish vibe, but there’s clearly a certain aura about you, Senior sister! That’s not something a child could have!”

As if reading Eiru’s thoughts before she even asked, Yu Qiu preemptively explained. Just as Yunxing had said, this unlucky girl was genuinely smart. She just loved showing it off.

For some reason, the moment Yu Qiu saw the girl in front of her, she felt an intense fondness. She even had the sudden urge to step forward and hug her.

The last time she’d felt this way… seemed to be at the opening ceremony, when she saw that Demon Lord senior? And her younger sister Yaya?

Yu Qiu was the type to act on impulse. With her affection spiking like this, she really almost reached out to hug her.

But the sudden chill that shot down her spine reminded her of what had happened the first time they met.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Yu Qiu suddenly look terrified and take several steps back, the little Demon Lord felt puzzled.

‘What the hell? Do I look that scary?’

Although she had only been passing by, when she saw this pink-haired girl acting suspiciously inside the shop earlier, Her Majesty had already sensed something interesting was about to happen.

Recalling her little sister’s instructions and Yunyue’s request, Eiru had decided not to leave. She’d slightly disguised herself. After seeing the girl sneak into the alley, she’d even decisively bought a cup of milk tea from a street vendor and waited nearby to watch the show unfold.

Sure enough, not long after, she saw Yunxing dragging this unlucky girl out and scolding her. Although she knew that certain little brother was the classic sharp-tongued soft-hearted tsundere, she was still somewhat surprised he cared this much about a girl he supposedly disliked.

“Uh… hahaha, S-Senior sister, I was just joking that day. I wasn’t trying to steal your boyfriend…”

Seeing Yu Qiu trembling like that, the little Demon Lord waved her hand to show she didn’t care. Inside, she found it rather amusing.

‘So that’s what this is about? A macho man like me would never be so bored as to hold onto such a tiny grudge.;

“Mm, I know~ Because you’re Yunxing’s girlfriend, right? I know everything~ Like how wild you two play and all that?”

“Huh?”

Eiru’s strange words stunned Yu Qiu for a moment. A second later, when she noticed the mischievous smile on the senior’s face, she realized she was being teased.

‘So you do hold grudges after all! You definitely do!’
