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

With Cerberus around, it would be possible to protect the landlady through the door, but that wouldn't be convenient enough. It would be safer to reinforce the door so that ordinary people could come and go freely.

Cerberus thought for a moment and said—

“You said you wanted to hide the formation, so I’ll hide it for a bit, but that way it will be hard to tell whether the formation is active or not.”

The landlady could have observed the array to determine if it was open, but since it was hidden, and she didn't understand how to sense the flow of the array, she couldn't make a judgment.

The landlady said—

"After that, I'll just buy a sign to mark it and hang it on the door, one side for open and the other side for closed."

"OK then."

Cerberus nodded, opened the door with the landlady, and went inside.

The landlady smiled.

The thought of going home filled her with anticipation. Home was where someone was waiting for her, where someone cared about her; it was her safe haven.

Although she always scolded him for being a womanizer, she decided to let it go since all the older women took good care of her.

She followed Cerberus.

It seemed as if a streak of light flashed by, countless stars shifting and passing by her in an instant, making it impossible to touch her, and even her thoughts came to a standstill for a moment.

Immersed in a wonderful feeling.

This is……

Before she could even think, she found herself at the balcony door of Chen Ming's house.

"You're back..."

It was truly amazing. The landlady lifted her white-stockinged leg and stomped it on the ground.

She smiled happily, then looked up...

"..."

The landlady's happy smile froze on her face, as if she had seen something unexpected.

……

Afu took the watering can and prepared to go to the balcony to water the flowers. Taking care of the flowers and plants at home was something a maid should do. She hadn't stopped since she arrived at the house, helping with cleaning, cooking, and other chores.

Chen Ming told her not to be so polite and to just wait for him and Lucifer to finish cooking and eat. But Afu seemed unable to rest, as if she derived a sense of satisfaction from helping out at home.

A sense of accomplishment, after all, she took care of the whole family, and it also proved that she wasn't useless except for practicing swordsmanship.

She was always content when she was with him.

It was definitely the right thing to shamelessly stay by his side. I never told him I was going to be his dowry maid. Looking back now, I realize I was really shameless.

Afu blushed again.

I'm about to open the balcony door to water the flowers.

The array on the door suddenly lit up.

Click.

The balcony door opened by itself.

Ah Fu tilted his head, as if someone was coming over?

Tread...  

A cute little girl wearing round-toed leather shoes and white stockings stood in front of Afu.

"Wang!"

Cerberus cried out at her feet.

Chapter 120 Does Love Disappear?

The landlady stared blankly at Afu, another beautiful woman...

She was slightly slender, with long, gray hair that reached her waist, just like Dong Yi. Her delicate figure looked almost frail, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

His grey eyes shone with a lively light, and there was a sense of having seen through the world.

She was dressed in a simple, dark-colored robe, which made her look very elegant, but this otherworldly air was broken by the watering can in her hand.

It was as if they had fallen to the mortal realm.

The landlady looked at her ethereal face and was speechless for a moment.

Afu blinked and said—

"Excuse me, who are you...?"

"It's the landlady!"

Cerberus had already cried out, and then said to the landlady—

"She is Afu."

"Ah Fu?"

The landlady had a blank expression, staring straight at the fairy in front of her. It was easy to guess that someone with such an aura must be a sword immortal.

Unlike a good-for-nothing like Dongyi.

It seems to be the traditional kind, which fits the general impression of a sword immortal.

Very beautiful.

The landlady gazed at that graceful figure… Although there was something lacking in her bust, that guy probably wasn't picky; as long as someone was pretty, cute, and beautiful…

He doesn't pick and choose.

Perhaps it's more accurate to say that small breasts are a scarce resource?

The landlady was well aware of the old lecher's intentions. She forced a smile and said—

"Hello, I am Qin Ying."

"Hello, landlady, I'm Fu, you can call me A-Fu."

Ah Fu was always very polite and didn't treat the landlady any differently just because she was a child, greeting her properly.

The landlady opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything; she was still a little shy.

The two passed each other. A-Fu smiled and nodded, then went to the balcony to water the flowers. The landlady, on the other hand, went back to the living room, looking somewhat hesitant.

Maybe it's not what she thinks? Perhaps she's Dongyi's friend, just here for fun...

The landlady still held a sliver of hope. Looking at Dongyi, who was lying on the sofa playing on his phone, she asked—

"Sister Dongyi, who was that Sister Afu just now...?"

"Ok?"

Dongyi seemed to be playing some MOBA game, and couldn't seem to get enough of it, so he just gave a perfunctory answer.

"Oh, is that A-Fu? She's here to help."

"Help? Help with what?"

"The shop is busy."

Dong Yi thought for a moment and said—

"She said she came to work, but it's all her own home now. After all, we're all going to be family. She was supposed to be a dowry maid, so there's nothing wrong with her helping out at home. She's quite happy about it."

Dongyi was quite happy. With Afu around, she didn't have to do anything. After all, Afu was her replacement, so she might as well go to Afu instead of doing anything else.

She smiled smugly.

Being able to be proud of one's own incompetence is a skill in itself, and Chen Ming really couldn't do anything about it.

However, Dongyi also had her own pride, and the only thing she could compare to Afu in was...

She puffed out her chest confidently.

Although it's not very large, it's still large enough for ordinary people, completely different from the Shenzhou tablet like Afu's.

The landlady looked at this good-for-nothing who had no sense of crisis at all, and tapped her on the head.

"Fool."

"Hmm... why is the landlady here too..."

Dongyi felt that things were really getting out of hand; his status in the family was steadily declining...

The landlady looked at Dongyi with some annoyance and said—

"What rank?"

"bronze."

"Delicious food!"

"What? Don't talk about bronze-level skills. Bronze-level skills are still very powerful."

Dong Yi shook his head and said—

"A tower that a King wouldn't dare cross, a Bronze player would. A team fight that a King wouldn't dare initiate, a Bronze player would. Bronze players dare to do things that Kings wouldn't. In short, Bronze players dare to do what Kings dare to do, and Bronze players dare to do what Kings wouldn't. What do you call that?"

"...Actors? They must be expensive."

The landlady's words hit the nail on the head. To be honest, she's become more and more adept at stabbing people in the heart lately, and she's sure to leave everyone feeling utterly heartbroken.

"..."

Dong Yi's imposing aura deflated, and he said—

"The food is a little bland... it's okay if it's a little bland, right?"

The landlady squinted. It's fine if you're bad at the game, but the problem is that you're not only bad, but you also have to bring along a fairy to annoy your teammates.

He's a total jerk.

Is he already evolving from a good-for-nothing to a complete disaster? At least a good-for-nothing is harmless, but a disaster ruins your teammates. The landlady thinks that actively recruiting Dongyi, a competitor, is indeed a bit foolish.

He gently tapped Dongyi's head again.
