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

Do you cultivate immortality?

"You mean like in cultivation novels, right? I know, I know."

It seems this girl has read some online novels; she got quite excited when it was mentioned, saying—

"An ominous event occurred in his later years; a great battle took place in the conference room, and even the Great Dao was obliterated?"

"This is inhumane. The great principles have been extinguished again... You can tell whose work you've been reading just by looking at their mouth."

Chen Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was truly a classic. Did this girl actually watch this kind of work? Although it had a somewhat stereotypical feel to it, girls generally didn't like this kind of thing, right?

Although he didn't quite understand it, he figured that domineering CEOs, time-traveling concubines, celebrity scandals, and having multiple children in one pregnancy were probably the mainstream themes.

Of course, this is just Chen Ming's personal opinion.

He's a man and doesn't really understand female-oriented content; it's all just his personal impressions.

Discovering shared interests can bring two people closer, and Chen Ming found this kind of girl quite interesting.

He felt he could ask—

"Who exactly are you people?"

"Hmm...a student?"

She tilted her head, unsure of what to say, and after a moment's thought, said—

"Some people also call us sword immortals."

"The one from Mount Shu?"

"I've also watched The Legend of Sword and Fairy, and I really wanted to cry when I saw Long Kui."

"Yeah, damn screenwriter... wait, how did we get off-topic again?"

Chen Ming felt that when he chatted with this guy, he always went off-topic, like a friend who was just rambling and bragging, even though they had only known each other for less than an hour.

He's really outgoing and friendly.

She smiled and said—

"In short, just think of it as something like cultivating immortality, except that there are strange things like final exams every year."

"Are there any penalties for failing a course? Will I not be able to graduate? Um... a Sword Immortal Certificate?"

Chen Ming couldn't imagine what would happen if such a thing were mixed into the world of cultivation; he felt the sense of incongruity was about to explode.

She seemed to recall something terrifying, shuddered, pursed her lips, and said—

"There's no humanity there. They'll lock people up in a dark room until they pass the test before releasing them..."

Chen Ming was taken aback, thought for a moment, and then said—

"Well... on the bright side, it ensures that students can learn something."

"..."

After hearing Chen Ming's words, she sighed deeply and said softly—

"I heard that there was a senior who has been locked up in a dark room for thousands of years and has not been released yet. He keeps failing his exams and keeps failing his courses... I wonder if he is dead or not."

"...Holy crap?"

That sounds a bit scary, and a bead of cold sweat trickled down Chen Ming's forehead.

Wait, something seems off.

He thought for a moment, and realized he had reached an intersection. He turned into a side street and said—

"Didn't you say before... that you failed all your courses except for one secular subject?"

"Yes, it's really terrible..."

The girl, still shaken, said—

"So I ran away again."

They escaped again?

"So you're a repeat offender already?" Chen Ming was momentarily speechless. After pondering for a while, he said earnestly—

"You still need to study hard..."

But what he was really thinking was, thank goodness he'd graduated and didn't have to study anymore... Chen Ming just couldn't bring himself to like studying.

Learning to cook is actually quite interesting.

……

……

Chen Ming parked his car in front of the hospital.

The girl in the back seat looked at the hospital, tilted her head, and said—

"Is this a hospital?"

"Okay, let's pick someone up first."

Chen Ming nodded and picked up his phone to call the landlady.

I waited for a while.

The landlady came out of the hospital, taking small steps, her pigtails swaying gently in the wind.

She stood at the door and looked around. She saw Chen Ming waving and smiled, but when she saw the Sword Fairy sitting in the back seat, her expression turned slightly puzzled.

She walked over, looked at Chen Ming, frowned slightly, and said—

“Mr. Chen Ming… being a womanizer is wrong.”

Miss Lucifer has only been around for a few days, and she's already hanging out with another girl again? Hmm... this time the style is delicate and pretty, while Miss Lucifer is stunning.

Chen Ming looked down at the landlady and joked—

"The landlady is also one of the targets."

"Hello, is this the police? Or is it that person?"

The landlady pretended to make a phone call, and Chen Ming smiled and patted her head. Then he looked behind her, but the woman from that morning was no longer there.

He asked—

"Where did that aunt from this morning go?"

"Pfft... What did you say? Auntie? Hahahaha..."

The landlady laughed so hard she clutched her stomach, as if she had heard something hilarious, and couldn't stop.

"Ouch...hahahaha...ouch, my stomach hurts from laughing...but, Auntie...hahahaha..."

"..."

Is it really necessary to laugh so exaggeratedly? Chen Ming scratched his cheek. Could it be that he made a mistake?

He tentatively asked—

"Um, isn't it Auntie?"

"No, just call me Auntie, that's what you'll call me from now on."

The landlady looked at him with a smile, but he always felt that she was trying to rip him off.

The sword fairy observed from the side and said—

"that……"

"Oh, right."

Chen Mingcai realized he hadn't introduced the two yet, so he pointed to the Sword Immortal and said—

"This is...is...huh?"

He then realized that he had never introduced himself, and the Sword Fairy had never mentioned his name.

For a moment, it was a little awkward...

The landlady sighed and said—

"Mr. Chen Ming, hello... I am the landlord of this careless man, my name is Qin Ying."

"Hello, landlady."

The sword fairy smiled, and seeing that Chen Ming seemed about to add a self-introduction, she interrupted him—

"Mr. Chen Ming, is that right? You womanizer, I'll remember that."

"...Don't remember strange things, and they're not even true."

Chen Ming felt wronged.

He's not a womanizer; he was just joking.

The sword fairy smiled and said—

"My name is Dong Yi."

Chapter 20 Mom, I Want to Marry Her

"arrive."

Chen Ming looked at his front door and then at Miss Dongyi, whose expression had turned serious.

What is meant to be will be; what is meant to be will be.

No matter how much time is delayed, they will come back eventually. Lucifer should be prepared, though. She said it's alright, so there shouldn't be any problem.

The landlady, oblivious to the expressions of the two people beside her, casually started walking towards Chen Ming's room, saying—

"Alright, let's go, I'm starving..."

Dong Yi grabbed her shoulder, and she looked at him with a puzzled expression.

The sword fairy then moved her into Chen Ming's hands and checked the long black box on her back.

"The inspection is complete," the sword fairy said.
