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

"What are you looking at?"

"Uh, it's nothing."

Chen Ming shook his head and said to her—

"Anyway, thank you for your concern, but I'm going home now."

"Okay, take me with you."

The girl nodded, as if she had already made up her mind, but in fact Chen Ming had never said he would take her back.

Chen Ming looked at her speechlessly, feeling that this girl was rather overly familiar with him. He said—

"Aren't you going home? Why are you following me?"

"Isn't there a big problem in your family? I can already sense it. There must be a great monster in your house that is over a thousand years old. Fortunately, it is injured now, so I can help you get rid of it."

She adjusted the black box slung over her shoulder, her expression somewhat grave, and said—

"Actually, I'm not sure I can beat them, but I can't just leave them alone."

"..."

A great demon… could it be Lucifer? Chen Ming raised an eyebrow slightly. Was this guy going to cause trouble for Lucifer?

Chen Ming hesitated for a moment, then said—

"If it's really as you say, and there's a monster in my house, what are you going to do about it?"

"Try to them first, and if that doesn't work, then fight... That's generally how it works..."

She smiled slyly and said—

"But actually, those heretics don't have a good relationship with us. We should strike while the iron is hot, beat them up to vent our anger, and then drive them out."

"...Settling personal scores under the guise of official business."

Chen Ming looked at the girl with a sinister smile. Perhaps it was her good looks, or a touch of wicked cuteness, but what she was about to do was anything but admirable.

Taking advantage of someone's injury to launch a sneak attack, and using that as a means to settle personal scores—what a despicable person!

She sighed regretfully and said—

"If I hadn't never harmed anyone, I would have just killed him with one sword. Now I can only expel him... But it's fortunate that he hasn't harmed anyone, no one has suffered."

sword?

Chen Ming looked at the long, black box again. So it contained a sword? It's not good to carry a controlled knife on the street.

Chen Ming looked at her and said—

"You have such a lisp... is it okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

She waved her hand and said—

"Anyway, not many people would believe you if you told them, and they would just think it was fake if you took a picture, right? I know your society well. I got 80 points in my secular studies, the only subject I didn't fail."

"..."

What's going on? This feels like a university education! Wearing a retro school uniform, is this guy really a student? And he only passed one subject. Shouldn't he be thinking of ways to improve his grades?

I have so many complaints, I don't even know where to begin.

The girl had already nimbly flipped over and sat in the back seat of the car, saying—

"Alright, alright, let's go. This is a motorcycle, isn't it? It looks pretty interesting."

"Forehead……"

Seeing that the girl had already latched onto him, Chen Ming was somewhat at a loss and could only say to her—

"Wait a minute, I'll go make a phone call."

"okay."

She touched and fiddled with everything, seemingly oblivious. Chen Ming walked aside to make a phone call, then suddenly remembered something and said—

"You can't eavesdrop on other people's phone calls, you know?"

He was a little worried that this strange girl might have some means of overhearing his phone call, since he wanted to discuss it with Lucifer.

The girl waved her hand and said—

"I know, I know, it's about privacy, right? I won't listen."

Only then did he feel relieved enough to make a phone call.

……

……

dong dong dong...

Lucifer was in the kitchen considering whether to help Chen Ming with some work when the door suddenly rang, and she turned around.

"Are you back?"

She walked out in her slippers.

When he opened the door, he didn't see Chen Ming, but a woman with very dark circles under her eyes.

Lucifer tilted his head and asked—

"You are……"

"You must be Mr. Chen Ming's girlfriend? You're very beautiful."

The person opposite smiled and said—

“I am your neighbor. Mr. Chen Ming said he would like to speak with you.”

She handed me a cell phone.

Lucifer accepted it and thanked him.

"Thank you."

"It's alright, just take it to the first room upstairs when you're done. I'm going back now. Haha..."

I let out a big yawn, and then the neighbor left.

Lucifer blinked her red eyes. It seemed she had been mistaken for Chen Ming's girlfriend many times, but she was too lazy to explain. Anyway, she was going to lose something.

She picked up her phone and said—

"Hello? What's wrong?"

"Lucifer? Uh, something's happened here."

Chen Ming's voice was somewhat lowered.

Lucifer frowned and said—

"Are you OK?"

"I'm fine, it's just that...it seems like they're looking for you."

"I?"

Lucifer thought of many people in an instant, but then shook his head and said—

"Is this someone I know?"

"No, she doesn't seem to know you. She said you're a monster, an outsider, and that she's going to expel you."

Chen Ming explained the whole story to Lucifer in detail.

"Ah... I see..."

Lucifer stroked his chin, realizing what that feeling was all about. After a moment's thought, he said—

"It's alright, you can bring her back."

"Are you alright?"

“I think I noticed her before, but she was so inconspicuous that I overlooked her.”

Lucifer reassured Chen Ming and then hung up the phone.

She looked around and murmured—

"Although it seems like a small fry, it's better to be safe than sorry..."

She went back to the kitchen, took out a bowl of water, and started drawing around it...

Chapter 19 The Sword Fairy

Chen Ming had no choice but to take the strange girl on his motorcycle. In the rearview mirror, he could see her looking around with great interest.

I always feel like he's naive and inexperienced.

He tried to inquire—

"What were you referring to when you said 'heretical paths'?"

"They're just some non-mainstream things."

She answered very readily—

"We are the mainstream."

"What's the mainstream?"

"The mainstream outside of the secular world."

What does "beyond the secular world" mean? Chen Ming became increasingly puzzled by the question, but if it were interpreted literally, it would mean the realm beyond ordinary people, right?

After thinking for a moment, she added—

"Well, the scope might need to be limited to the East."

So, there are other forces operating elsewhere? Claiming to be mainstream is just self-praise, he chuckled.

Chen Ming had also read many online works, so it was only natural for him to ask—
