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

Chapter 146 Hmm? Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm?

blah blah blah...

The small footsteps were somewhat hurried.

The landlady, her small feet in white stockings and slippers, walked through the balcony door and returned to her rented room, where she immediately pounced on her bed.

He used both his hands and feet to hug his blanket.

Rolling around, rolling around...

I actually fell asleep in his arms today! I was so careless. Although I feel like I got lucky—or rather, I guess it's all thanks to my terrible sleeping posture?

The landlady's face was flushed.

Recalling the warmth of his embrace, she couldn't calm down. Although he had hugged her before, this was the first time she had fallen asleep so close to him like this.

Is she too tired, or is it too comfortable to be with him?

Maybe both.

The landlady lowered her head, buried half her face in the blanket, and chuckled a few times.

But what she said was—

"What's wrong? You look so happy... Just an idiot, Chen Ming..."

He's a womanizer, sometimes likes to bully people, and there are more and more girls in his family. What's so good about someone like that? There's nothing good about him.

Aside from being somewhat handsome, considerate, caring, and fairly responsible... aren't there only flaws besides his strengths? What else is good about him?

The landlady laughed.

He is certainly very good; perhaps beauty is in the eye of the beholder… well, Xi Shi refers to Chen Ming.

A gentle guy.

Hmm... a harem man?

Or, to use the local terminology, it's like a nasty central air conditioning system, which seems to offer warmth to everyone, attracting so many people to come and seek warmth.

How many are there now?

She counted on her fingers.

Starting with Lucifer's sister, then Cerberus's sister, then his sister, Dong Yi, A Fu's sister, and now there's an angel lady...

Well, the landlady always felt that her silly older sister was pretty much falling for his tricks too. She kept saying she didn't want to get married or find a man, but she would completely surrender the moment she met him...

Ha, not getting married...

The landlady puffed out her cheeks slightly.

This can't be happening! He could very well be your future brother-in-law. Competing with your sister for a man... this sister is really terrible.

"...I'll continue to bully her next time."

The landlady murmured.

……

"Achoo!"

Qin Hui was taking a shower when she suddenly sneezed and rubbed her nose.

……

After the landlady's initial excitement subsided, she was filled with deep worry.

Putting everything else aside.

The people gathered around him now were all so outstanding; what was he then? A middle school student with decent grades? Utterly ordinary…

She received his undivided attention, and he always said he liked obedient and sensible girls like the landlady...

In his eyes, she was a child.

There's nothing we can do about it, but time can help.

If one day she grows up and is no longer a little child who needs to be loved, then when she truly stands in front of him, who can she compare to beside him?

Um... Dongyi doesn't count.

He mentally dismissed Dongyi and didn't show much respect for the useless young lady.

Lucifer and Cerberus are formidable visitors from Hell. Afu is a master swordsman, her sister is an excellent researcher, Qin Hui at least manages a company, and the angel lady has enormous breasts…

The landlady sighed as she thought about it.

I have trouble sleeping.

Maybe I slept at his place too much, or maybe I was overthinking things.

"Meow~"

A soft call.

The landlady looked over and saw a white cat lying by the window, watching the troubled girl with what seemed to be amusement.

The landlady blinked, walked over, reached out and picked up the white cat, looked into its blue eyes, and placed it on the bed.

"Where did you go? Did you eat properly?"

She lay back down on the bed, stroking the white cat's soft fur. Sleeping alone was a bit lonely; having a cat for company was nice.

She lay on her side, constantly stroking the cat's fur with her hand.

The white cat gently squinted its eyes, raised its head, and seemed to be quite comfortable, lying on the bed with an elegant posture.

"...Xiaobai, sometimes I think it might be better if we never grew up."

"Meow?"

The white cat tilted its head, seemingly puzzled.

The landlady thought that the little white cat might be able to understand her.

She smiled and said—

"If I never grow up, will he always take care of me? If I grow up and am no longer a child, will I no longer be able to act spoiled with him? ... They say I can fight for it, but how can someone as ordinary as me compete?"

Growing up is great, but I'm unwilling to break the status quo, even though things might not be better after I change.

She was somewhat afraid, worried that if she lost her current relationship, she wouldn't be able to get what she really wanted... she was caught in a cycle of gain and loss.

The white cat's sapphire-blue eyes gazed at the troubled girl, listening intently to her story.

The landlady said—

"If I had talent, if I could become better..."

Maybe then we won't have to worry so much.

The landlady kept talking, and the hand that was stroking the white cat slowly stopped. The girl, filled with melancholy, drifted off to sleep.

Starlight shone down, and the sapphire-like cat's eyes gazed at her. It moved closer to her, pressed its forehead against hers, and gently closed its eyes.

……

The landlady had a strange dream.

She seemed to be floating in a galaxy, watching countless shooting stars flash by, and one after another, huge galaxies converged into a torrent.

In the distance beyond the reach of sight, countless rays of light converged together.

She reached out in confusion, trying to stop one of the stars, but it turned into a stream of light and vanished through her fingers in the blink of an eye.

"here it is……"

The landlady wasn't afraid; she only felt a strange sensation, as if she were in a dream, where everything absurd seemed reasonable.

A white cat appeared at her feet. She lowered her head; it's not uncommon for things from reality to appear in dreams.

The white cat raised its head, its blue eyes looking like stars, and it actually spoke—

What are your expectations?

"what?"

"If you have any expectations, feel free to speak them out. They may not come true, but they might be of some help?"

The landlady didn't understand what the white cat was saying at all.

It licked its paw and continued—

"Okay, explaining this might be too complicated, so let's just keep it simple..."

The landlady saw a screen appear in front of her, covered with writing, which gave her a headache...

what is this?

User Notice... Confidentiality Agreement... Why does this sound like some kind of app?

This dream is getting stranger and stranger.

Anyway, no one would seriously look at this kind of thing, so the landlady subconsciously checked the box and skipped it.

"..."

The white cat tilted its head. Why are people like this lately? Nobody reads the well-intentioned instructions, and even the beginner's tutorial is being skipped.

I don't know who I am or where I am, but I'm about to start the game?

This habit is really bad...

The white cat seemed to sigh, but still asked to confirm—

"Let me just ask you directly... Would you like to become a magical girl?"

Chapter 147: A three-headed dog on the left, a sword immortal on the right, covered with a breast angel.

Chen Ming felt that although he now had the help of reliable girls like A Fu and Lucifer, he still seemed to be busy with just as many things every day.

For example, combing the girls' hair. Dongyi and Afu both have very long hair, the kind that reaches their waists. It's very satisfying to comb, but it takes quite a bit of time.

There's also walking Cerberus, lecturing Dongyi not to be too lazy, telling Afu to take a break, and caring about the landlady... It seems like he has more things to worry about now.
