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

Her voice trailed off as the person leaning against the headboard closed their eyes, their long eyelashes slightly obscuring the beauty mark at the corner of their eye.

A thin blanket covered her body from the waist down, and her slender hand held an open notebook over her lower abdomen.

Her even breathing proved that she was truly asleep, with a peaceful expression on her face.

Dong Yi winked at her, waved his hand in front of her, then hesitated for a moment before gently tapping her cheek and saying with some curiosity—

"She fell asleep so quickly."

And he slept very soundly.

In the past, Dongyi would never be able to touch Lucifer and would be locked in the Shadow Mental Dark Room by Lucifer, ostensibly to help her sleep and prevent her from staying up late.

Wearing a white silk nightgown, Gu Qing looked over with her red eyes and said—

"Lord Lucifer has been like this lately, always seeming quite tired."

The one referring to "Lord Lucifer" is definitely Lilith's consciousness. She's actually a part of Satan, which is why she rarely speaks when the main body is present, and there's no real need for her to.

Qin Hui, dressed in a slightly mature-style nightgown like her aunt, leaned closer with some concern, looking at Lucifer's sleeping face, and said—

"Powerful cultivators don't seem to need sleep, right? Is that alright? Is it because of your husband's situation that you're feeling mentally exhausted?"

The only person capable of influencing a powerful being like Lucifer is Chen Ming. Whenever she exhibits any unusual behavior, it's always safe to first suspect the unscrupulous harem king.

In this family, the sisters love each other and are all united against a certain scoundrel. Now that they see Lucifer acting strangely, they can't help but gather around him.

Seeing such a powerful being sleeping like this, Huang Yi couldn't help but feel a little curious—

"He's sleeping soundly. Sister Urd, could you see what Lucifer was dreaming about? The Queen Mother of the West said that your magic is related to dreams?"

"That wasn't my magic. It was just the World Tree guiding his return. I was just leading the way for him."

With his flaxen hair, Urd hurriedly raised his hand and shook it repeatedly, firmly denying that he was the culprit who led him into the dream.

Recently, because of this, the Queen Mother of the West has been looking at her strangely, as if she is about to be skinned alive and torn apart at any moment. This is because the Queen Mother of the West believes that it was because she led her precious son away that he suffered such a terrible fate.

That doting, spoiled mother is capable of anything.

Huang Yi blinked, chuckled, nudged her gently with her elbow, and said—

"It's alright, the Queen Mother of the West isn't here, there's no need to be afraid."

"I... I don't know what you're talking about, anyway, I don't know the magic of dreams..."

They were talking in hushed tones when Lucifer suddenly twitched her eyelids, slowly opening her red eyes. Looking at her sisters surrounding her, she said somewhat dazedly—

"Is it already morning?"

"...No, everyone's still awake."

Her older sister looked at her, gently placed her hand on her forehead, and said—

"Lucifer, are you feeling unwell?"

"..."

Lucifer, seeing the concern in his sister's eyes, stroked his lower abdomen, then, as if remembering something, looked away and said—

"Hmm... I'm just a little tired lately. It's okay, everyone go to sleep. The more we overthink, the more chaotic things will become."

"..."

The older sister tilted her head, increasingly feeling that Lucifer was acting strangely. Just now, there seemed to be a strange sense of guilt in the way Lucifer had looked at her...

It's like a child who feels ashamed after stealing food, feeling guilty but also secretly pleased.

wonderful.

Seeing his longtime friend like this, Cerberus affectionately licked Lucifer's cheek and said to her—

"Are you hungry? Lucifer, you haven't eaten much today."

"It's because you ate too much."

Little Blackie glanced at the silly dog, who was always eating like a glutton. Lucifer, on the other hand, always ate according to human standards, and today was no exception.

Lucifer's eyes darted around, looking at everyone who cared about him, a hint of apology in them.

She said—

"Don't worry about me, go to sleep. He definitely won't let this go tomorrow. If you don't get proper rest, he'll easily find an opportunity to take advantage of you."

"Ah."

Everyone nodded. After all, upon closer inspection, Lucifer seemed to be in good condition, with plenty of energy and vitality, so they all lay down to rest.

Only the older sister remained somewhat suspicious.

Lucifer is definitely hiding something from everyone, and it must be something quite significant.

Chapter 1503 I treated you like my best friend, but you want to be my mother!?

"Ladies, it's time to go to sleep."

The orange-haired fox girl takes care of several little girls. Although they all look about the same age, unlike the young ladies, Xiao Jiu is a senior who is quite old.

The dark-skinned girl, wearing a loose short-sleeved shirt and shorts, revealed her healthy, tanned legs and feet. She seemed unconcerned about the tan lines on her thighs, and stared brightly in the direction of Chen Ming's room, saying—

"Is Uncle asleep now? Why don't we ambush him?"

"Huh? Night, a night attack..."

Yuqian, a well-behaved girl, blushed slightly upon hearing her classmate's bold words.

But seeing Zhou Siqi's innocent expression, he realized he had misunderstood and that she was just playing a prank. He lowered his head in shame.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu hurriedly waved her hand and said—

"No, you can't do that. Ladies, you need to get some sleep and shouldn't disturb your master's rest."

Although she felt that even if a few little girls ran to his room and bothered him, he would only be happy, because that guy really liked the young ladies.

But it still didn't work, because although he slept in a separate room from the female protagonists, he still brought Wang Shen with him. It was obvious that Wang Shen would be in charge tonight, and it would be inappropriate for children.

The landlady, who undid her twin ponytails and let them hang down her shoulders while sleeping, making her look more mature, smiled as she looked at the dark-skinned loli who was still thinking about causing trouble late at night—

"Not sleeping properly really makes you a child, and that fiancée thing was just a lie after all?"

"Ugh! I'm going to sleep now!"

The dark-skinned little girl immediately burrowed into bed, trying to prove to everyone that she was an adult who could sleep well.

So adorably childish.

The landlady smiled and lay down beside her, stroking her hair.

"...I feel like Xiaoying is becoming more and more mature."

Yuqian watched this scene. Although they were all the same age, Xiaoying would occasionally radiate this kind of loving glow, taking care of her classmates as if she were coaxing children.

The landlady glanced at Yuqian and said meaningfully—

"Yuqian is the same. The most mature thing to do is to hide your maturity, right?"

"!"

Yuqian was startled, her eyes darting away in a panic, and she said—

"W-what do you mean? I don't quite understand..."

A bead of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

The landlady chuckled and said—

"I don't know where I read that, don't worry about it, it's just nonsense."

"..."

You're not just talking nonsense; you came prepared!

Yu Qian pursed her lips, placing her hand on her small chest, feeling her own heartbeat. Using her status as a child, and the pretext of being an "innocent daughter," to get close was truly cunning.

He's such a cunning and treacherous adult.

Girls grow up quickly; sometimes all it takes is a certain opportunity, like falling for someone...

"Are you happy to be his daughter?"

The landlady gently took her hand and said—

"He's not much older than you, it's such a strange relationship."

Yuqian is fifteen years old this year, and Chen Ming is twenty-three. They are only eight years apart, so calling him "brother" would be enough. But the feelings Yuqian wants are stronger than "brother," so things turned out this way.

Yearning, yet trying to conceal it.

They became father and daughter.

Yuqian's cheeks flushed red, and her pink toes kept clenching, feeling as if Xiaoying had seen through everything about her.

"Then, what about Xiaoying?"

She bit her lower lip lightly, her slender body pressing close to the landlady, and said—

"Landlady, landlady... isn't this a bit too much?"

Now that things have come to this, how could they still be just ordinary landlord and tenant? Qin Ying and Chen Ming's relationship has long been inseparable, tightly bound together by this emotion.

The landlady smiled and said—

"We're going to get married in the future, it's a promise."

"Huh, huh?"

Yu Qian's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't expected the other person to admit it so readily, without any pretense. This made Yu Qian freeze, and although she opened her mouth, she couldn't say a word.

The landlady looked at her quietly, then suddenly said—

“No one in the family can really stop him once he makes a decision. No one dares to say what the future holds. Maybe this is the last chance… Yuqian, don’t you have any thoughts?”
