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

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Chen Ming's forehead. Looking at the gloom in Urd's wife's eyes and feeling her hands gripping his neck, he couldn't help but raise his hands.

I've finally learned what it means to say, "Women are inherently gentle, but become strong when they become sisters."

Perhaps it's best not to tease your wife too much.

But I just couldn't help it.

Urd stared intently at him, then finally let out a sigh of relief and said—

"Always interrupting serious matters...you bad boy!"

As she spoke, she patted him on the shoulder again, complaining.

She knew perfectly well that he was trying to ease the tension; the conversation, which had just become serious, suddenly turned inappropriate again.

Only he could use such a peculiar way of comforting people, making them so angry that they forgot their worries.

It's really weird.

She pursed her lips, her eyebrows furrowed, and said—

"Ok."

"All right?"

Chen Ming tilted his head, wondering what she was suddenly talking about.

Urd looked at him and said—

"If you return safely... I will tell you about them, as a reward for you."

Chen Ming opened his mouth, looking at Urd's desperate appearance. It seemed that he was really forced to the point of no return, even if it meant betraying his own sisters.

His importance in her heart had become greater than anything else.

"puff."

Chen Ming couldn't help but laugh. Although he should actually be quite touched, he also felt the scene was somewhat comical, and said—

"Using her own sister as a trophy? What an evil older sister."

"It's all your fault!"

Urd punched him twice more, his ears turning bright red, and said—

"I've already gone this far, I can't allow you to fail! You're tied to me, I absolutely cannot allow you to leave me! This is your... destiny!"

Thus it was declared by the goddess of fate.

Chen Ming smiled, lowered his head, took one of her hands, gently kissed the back of her hand, and said—

"Okay, my goddess."

……

Finally, it was time to eat. Even though everyone had some disagreements, they all ended up eating together at the same table.

"Here, have some."

"Okay, thank you, honey."

Chen Ming smiled as he watched Lucifer serve him food, seemingly no different from usual.

"..."

However, Mom frowned as she watched everyone eating together. She exchanged a glance with Dad, who nodded slightly. They seemed to have communicated with each other through their eyes.

"cough."

Mom suddenly coughed lightly and said to Chen Ming—

"Chen Ming, come with me for a moment."

"Ok?"

Chen Ming looked at his mother who had stood up, wondering what had suddenly happened.

Could it be that Lucifer told his mother too?

He looked at Lucifer.

Lucifer shook his head and communicated with his eyes—

I didn't tell my parents.

"..."

So what's going on?

……

P.S.: How do I get pyroxene? How exactly do I get pyroxene? (ω)

Chapter 1490 Mom, please don't do this...

"What's wrong, Mom?"

Chen Ming was led by his mother's small hand to the outside of the balcony. He bent down slightly to look at her slender back and seemed to sense that his mother was a little unhappy.

I was holding him while he slept and treating him like my precious son, but it didn't last long before I had to go back to how I was before?

Chen Ming felt somewhat regretful.

I couldn't help but smile.

The mother turned around and saw his grinning face. She frowned slightly, released his hand, put her hands on her slender waist, and looked up at her tall, burly son, speaking in a lecturing tone—

"What have you done recently? Tell me honestly."

"What? I didn't."

Chen Ming immediately denied it, thinking that his mother might have misunderstood something after he said he was going to visit her in prison, and said—

"It was just someone I know who made a mistake; I didn't do anything wrong."

And it even saved the survivors of an entire era.

The mother looked at her son, then slowly narrowed her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips, and rested her chin on her hand as she spoke—

"You're not telling the truth, are you?"

"..."

grunt.

Seeing his mother's expression, Chen Ming felt a chill run down his spine. Despite being such a petite woman, she made him feel like a mouse facing a cat.

This is a suppression of the source.

Hey, hey?

Didn't I say I wouldn't be rough with him today because I was in a good mood? It's only been a short time, not even a whole day since that night, and she's already back to being the same old mom.

Is it because I explained my relationship with the Queen Mother of the West that my biological mother is now acting with impunity? Does she feel that her position as the mother in the family is secure, so of course she can act recklessly?

Chen Ming finally understood this and couldn't help but secretly lament that he should have made his mother feel more threatened, made her competitive, and turned her into a gentle and caring mother...

I'd better not; it just feels weird.

He sighed softly and said with a wry smile—

"I... I didn't lie to you... Ah, are you talking about Liuli's matter? She originally had other things to do, it wasn't that I didn't want to bring her back..."

Even though his mother hadn't said a word, Chen Ming reflected on everything he might have done that might have earned him a lecture. Then he realized that he had almost exposed himself, and if he continued talking, he might say something wrong. So he immediately stopped talking.

His mother looked at him and remained silent, then smiled and said—

"It seems you really have a lot of things you're hiding from me."

"No, no, how could that be..."

"You said you were going to visit someone, but you didn't say whether it was a friend, classmate, or colleague. That means that person's identity is rather sensitive, and they are quite important to you. Hmm... that's really interesting."

His mother gave him a cat-and-mouse look, which made Chen Ming look away. He didn't know where to put his hands, scratching his face and then his head.

I broke out in a cold sweat.

My goodness, Mom was terrifying after reverting to her original state! I knew it. Her sensitive identity, her importance to him, the person he couldn't explain to his parents, combined with his harem-loving persona…

The answer is already obvious.

Whether it's friends, relatives, classmates, or colleagues, it's not hard to talk about even if these people end up in jail. But there's one kind of relationship that's really hard to be honest about.

It's his wife. His wife committed a crime, which is a family scandal that's hard to talk about, and naturally he doesn't dare tell his parents.

Think about the identities of the wives he brought home before? Queens, CEOs, fairies, and now a prisoner has arrived. If his parents find out, won't they make him end the relationship on the spot?

Seeing his cold sweat dripping down his face, his mother gave him an understanding smile, then reached out, stood on tiptoe, grabbed his ear, and pulled him down.

"Ouch! Ouch! Mommy, Mommy, I know I was wrong..."

"What did you do wrong?"

It's another classic dialogue. These parents seem to only know this one rhetorical question; there's nothing new about it.

Chen Ming felt disdain.

His face showed deep remorse, and he honestly said—

"I shouldn't have kept this from you. Actually, that person is my wife... Although she did something wrong, it was all for my sake, and it didn't really cause any major problems..."

Chen Ming didn't think being stabbed and nearly killed was a big deal, so he felt he wasn't lying. To protect his good brother and wife, he really… I'm heartbroken.

Mom frowned deeply and said—

"You actually have the heart to lay a hand on a criminal... What did she do wrong?"

"It's nothing..."

Chen Ming's eyes darted around, and he scratched his head casually, saying—

"I had some bad ideas, but I didn't put them into practice (because I was stopped), and then, I 'accidentally' hurt 'someone,' but now that person is alive and kicking, completely unharmed..."

Mom interrupted her directly—
