Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

"No soul..."

"..."

Another ghost monster.

Chen Ming laughed. The world is truly full of wonders, from sword immortals who deliver takeout to demons who can't eat chocolate, and this soul monster...

I escorted the landlady to the teacher's office and greeted the teacher before reporting for duty.

The teacher nodded and said—

"Why don't you parents ever come here? Every time we see Qin Ying all alone, it's so dangerous. She's so young. You parents should be more concerned about her..."

Ah this...

Chen Ming wanted to explain.

But looking at the teacher's tense face and slightly furrowed brows, the deep-seated fear of teachers that had been ingrained in him since childhood left him speechless.

Qin Hui, on the other hand, was much more shameless in this situation, maintaining a smile, truly befitting a bad student.

……

The two watched from outside as the landlady held a class meeting, not daring to speak loudly.

Qin Hui glanced at him and said softly—

"Mr. Chen Ming... what do you think of Xiaoying?"

"What do you mean, how is it? Of course, it's extremely cute."

Chen Ming looked completely bewildered. "My landlady is the cutest girl in the world, and I won't accept any arguments against her."

Qin Hui narrowed her eyes and asked again—

"So, what kind of woman does Mr. Chen Ming like?"

"...Is there any connection between these two questions?"

Chen Ming narrowed his eyes.

What do you mean?

Are you trying to say he's a lolicon?

Chapter 109 Miss Qin Hui dug her own pit and fell into it.

It seems that the term "lolicon" has become very common since it was introduced to China.

Hugging and kissing little girls is considered being a lolicon, playing with them is considered being a lolicon, and even taking them to the supermarket to buy snacks is considered being a lolicon.

Unless you're with a little boy, but nowadays even little boys have a thing for cute boys that's making people jealous.

When did being close to children become so tainted in some people's eyes? Is this really the case in reality? Surely not.

In reality, there are more normal people than people on the internet, which is a breeding ground for filth and corruption. Everyone is genuinely concerned about their children...

Or you might find unruly kids annoying.

Chen Ming was certainly not a lolicon. Ultimately, he liked the landlady because he thought she was sensible and well-behaved, and he had no improper thoughts about her.

Children can get closer to each other.

But now that we know she's a teenager, we should still keep our distance.

He was aware that he had been taken advantage of by the landlady. But he couldn't tolerate being accused of anything because of that.

He's a fine young man with a beautiful wife at home, why should he suffer such criticism?

I felt cold and shivering.

When will normal people be able to get rid of prejudice?

Qin Hui, seeing his unfriendly expression, curled the corner of her lips and said—

"It's nothing, I was just asking."

"..."

"Don't believe me!" Chen Ming really thought Qin Hui was being a bit cheeky. After asking how the landlady was and answering that she was cute, she immediately followed up with, "What kind of woman do you like?"

His intentions are despicable.

Chen Ming looked at Cerberus wagging its tail at his feet and wondered if he should let the dog bite her.

Chen Ming said—

"What kind of women do I like... When I was little, I thought petite and cute women were better, and I didn't like big-breasted monsters. Then when I grew up, I felt like it didn't matter, as long as they were pretty, I would like them. But later I felt that as long as they were pretty, it didn't matter if they weren't human."

Chen Ming's thinking was probably influenced by many fantasy works, and he was not so resistant to other races, so he didn't react much when he encountered Lucifer and Cerberus.

That's what he meant, but it sounded different to Qin Hui. She took a step back from him in alarm and repeated—

"It doesn't matter if you're not human... what are you doing..."

"...Damn it, what are you thinking!"

Chen Ming, seeing her expression, realized that in a normal person's worldview, there are no demons or anything like that; besides humans, there are only animals...

Qin Hui watched as Chen Ming nearly jumped up and down, her expression instantly shifting from fear to a delighted smile, and said—

"Just kidding, you mean this kind of elf-eared girl, right?"

"..."

It seems I've been tricked by this fox again. Chen Ming narrowed his eyes.

Qin Hui tapped her chin with her index finger and said—

Is Mr. Chen Ming an expert in animation?

"...Are you being sarcastic towards me?"

The outdated, amateurish title of "anime expert" is incredibly embarrassing. Qin Hui definitely did it on purpose; if not intentionally, then it was deliberate.

Qin Hui smiled and said—

"How could that be... Speaking of which, I have some friends who also love cosplay. Should I introduce them to Mr. Chen Ming?"

"No thanks, I've heard the industry is chaotic."

Chen Ming hadn't really understood it, but everyone said it was very confusing.

Qin Hui waved her hand and said—

"She's not from any particular circle, just a friend who likes to dress up, does it on her own, a nice girl. I think we should be able to get along."

"Is your friend some kind of rich girl? I'm not going to hire her as a lackey."

“I think you’re prejudiced against us. Even if we’re a little rich, we’re not like the people on TV.”

Qin Hui continued with a smile—

"Hey, honestly, I think it's a great idea. My friend doesn't need money anymore, and all she wants to do is talk about anime all day. She always dresses... so cute, yeah, cute. Don't you want to get to know her?"

"...offering unsolicited favors."

Chen Ming looked at Qin Hui, knowing he couldn't easily agree to what this sly fox was saying; she was probably plotting something against him. There was definitely something fishy about her promoting her friend like this.

Seeing his unyielding attitude, Qin Hui clicked her tongue and continued—

"How can you call it offering help for no reason? You're our family's savior, and you've taken such good care of Xiaoying. My friend doesn't have a boyfriend, so I'm trying to match you two up. This is a perfect match for me."

The more attentive they become, the more dangerous they become.

Chen Ming narrowed his eyes and said—

"It may not be the best way to put it, but you're putting so much effort into promoting her. Is your friend really that unattractive? Or has a terrible personality? Otherwise, why would you be working so hard to get her to go out with you?"

"Ah, this..."

Qin Hui was both amused and exasperated. So, people who are offered things don't appreciate them? Her friend's appearance was considered ugly? Although she was definitely a bit slow on the uptake.

She changed direction and said—

"What do you think of a mature woman in black stockings? When you think of a mature woman, you think of black stockings, a pencil skirt, and high heels, with her hair up and her slender neck showing. Just thinking about it makes me feel pretty good."

"My secretary is also single. She's too busy to date, so she wants to find a man who cares about her and get married. He has a great physique and is gentle and considerate."

"I think Mr. Chen Ming is the type she likes because he enjoys taking care of people."

Qin Hui was still going on and on.

"..."

What's going on here? Has Qin Hui expanded into matchmaking?

He stared at Qin Hui, pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said—

"I also think mature women are quite nice."

"Right? It's better for girls to be a little more mature."

Qin Hui's eyes lit up, as if she had succeeded.

Chen Ming narrowed his eyes and said—

"Indeed, little girls are more immature and noisy all the time, while mature older sisters are more understanding, caring, and tolerant."

"Yes, yes." Qin Hui nodded.

"Moreover, her figure is very attractive after she has grown up. She has come to understand the value of true feelings after entering society and knows how to take care of the younger generation in her family."

“That’s right, that’s right.” Qin Hui looked like she was a promising student.

Chen Ming smiled and said—

"So, the best is a mature, working woman around 26 years old. She's at the perfect age to get married, not too old, but not as immature as a young girl. She's understanding and caring. Wearing a business suit, with her hair up, and a great figure..."

"..."

Qin Hui felt that Chen Ming's gaze was a little strange. He glanced at her; she was wearing a suit, her hair was tied up, she was 26 years old, and she was a mature, sophisticated woman...

Slightly stunned.

No, really...
