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

"Forget it, A-Fu, let's stick with the old model. We can talk about the new model once he's gotten used to it."

"Old model?"

Chen Ming tilted his head.

Afu looked at him, thought for a moment, and said—

"Older models are also available, but they are very large and cumbersome."

He took out his spatial bag, glanced around, felt something was amiss, then looked up at the sky and tossed the bag into the air.

An array was set up, and then a huge floating object slowly appeared.

A purple glint flashed in Lucifer's red eyes. The strange new thing had no presence in the eyes of outsiders, so it was best not to attract attention.

Chen Ming and everyone else looked up at the things floating in the sky.

Its entire body seemed to be made of wood, giving it a mechanical feel. Its shape resembled a giant bird with outstretched wings, and it appeared to be more than ten meters long and wide.

Chen Ming was somewhat moved; he had finally seen something that matched the art style.

Dong Yi, however, rested his chin on his hand and said—

"This is a very old model, isn't it? It seems like there hasn't been a model like this for thousands of years. I've only ever seen it in elective textbooks."

Thousands of years?

Chen Ming secretly glanced at A Fu. She had long gray hair, gray eyes, delicate skin, and a beautiful figure... She would even tilt her head cutely after noticing his gaze.

She's clearly a beautiful girl.

Chen Ming selectively ignored Dong Yi's words.

Afu blinked, seeking his opinion, and asked—

Is this okay?

"Well, actually either one is fine."

Chen Ming scratched his head. Actually, it wouldn't have mattered if he flew a Wuling X-ray, but A Fu still changed it for him. Even the slightest thing he cared about would be magnified in her eyes.

Because she cares so much.

Afu stood gracefully in front of him, seemingly waiting for something.

Chen Ming looked at her, could it be...?

He reached out and touched her head.

"Um……"

Afu smiled slightly, as if she had received a compliment.

Chen Ming wondered if he had raised the girls in a strange way, as they all seemed to enjoy having their heads patted more and more.

It was clearly just him who wanted to touch them at first, and they were all somewhat unwilling at first.

When did it start to feel so tender? Patting someone's head really does increase affection, Chen Ming smiled.

"Let's go."

Lucifer pulled his hand, a purple halo surrounding him, and six purplish-black wings sprouted from his back, carrying Chen Ming as they flew onto the airship.

Afu and Dongyi also took off on flying swords with the landlady, while the angel lady spread her holy wings and followed behind them.

Everyone entered the flying boat.

Chen Ming looked at his wife's purplish-black wings, rested his chin on his hand, and said—

"Lucifer, are your wings real or fake?"

"...Would you like to touch it?"

Lucifer smiled gently, encouraging him to touch it. She knew her man had many interests.

Feet, armpits, chest, waist, and wings, etc...

He easily falls in love with anything beautiful. You could say he's good at discovering beauty, or you could call him a pervert—it's all the same thing.

She also liked how he discovered and developed all sorts of wonderful things about her.

He liked many things that she herself found inexplicable... It felt as if he liked Lucifer more than Lucifer himself did.

It feels good to be liked like this.

Chen Ming, of course, didn't stand on ceremony with Lucifer. The two sat together, and he reached out and gently stroked her wings.

The purplish-black wings shimmered with purple light, unlike the angel's wings; they felt more like a physical manifestation of energy.

Chen Ming tilted his head and said—

"So you don't have wings?"

"I'm not an angel, of course I don't have wings."

Lucifer's answer was so matter-of-fact that Chen Ming scratched his head. Wasn't he the fallen angel Lucifer? Did he lose his wings after falling?

I don't quite understand.

He reached out and plucked a feather, which slowly turned into purplish-black energy.

I'm a little disappointed.

"I was thinking that if you really had wings, I could collect your feathers."

"..."

Lucifer raised an eyebrow. Had her husband developed some strange collecting obsession? Was he trying to collect feathers from strange creatures?

She looked up and said—

"Or I'll take you up there to catch angels, they're hairy."

"..."

What's with this tone, like someone catching grasshoppers in the grass? They're supposed to be angels, can't they at least show some respect?

But Chen Ming was inexplicably tempted...

Kidding.

The dog, nestled in his arms, suddenly became excited upon hearing about catching an angel and exclaimed—

"Doesn't that mean we can eat lots of big chicken wings? Master, Master, Master, when are we going to catch some?"

"...Let's talk about it later, when we have time."

Chen Ming gave the dog a perfunctory reply.

The landlady was curious about the flying boat, looking it over from all angles. Actually, there was nothing special about it; it only had a few seats and was quite empty.

Dong Yi looked at her and said—

"This design is only good for flying; the comfort and space utilization are not very reasonable. Such a large airship can only carry so few people. At least the previous vans had air conditioning and refrigerators."

"..."

The landlady looked at Dongyi and asked, "You just mentioned 'van,' right? Absolutely, right?"

Sure enough, that was a minivan.

At most, it's just like a regular van with the added feature of being able to fly.

Afu placed his hand on the core to charge it, and then it started to activate. Energy flowed through the patterns engraved on the mechanism, as if injecting blood into the giant bird, and light patterns lit up.

The landlady was very excited, but her phone suddenly rang.

She took out her phone with some confusion.

Is it Qin Hui?

She answered the phone—

"Hello? What's up?"

"...Xiaoying, where are you now?"

"Me? I'm with Chen Ming."

"Chen Ming? Didn't we agree that I would pick you up?"

Qin Hui's tone was very resentful, like that of a woman who had been abandoned.

Chapter 199 I can be this close to your sister!

Qin Hui is actually very happy today.

Her beloved younger sister was on vacation, and she was going to pick her up and take her home.

Having already requested leave in advance, and not backing down despite the grumpy face of her black-stockinged secretary, she was determined to spend a whole week having fun with Xiaoying.

She also bought several large dolls for this purpose. She's still not quite sure what the little girl likes, but she can spend time with her during this holiday.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and she drove to the school gate.

The wait could last for several hours.

As the crowd gradually dispersed and darkness fell, Qin Hui's expression shifted from anticipation to doubt, and then slowly turned indifferent...

I waited here foolishly, even bought a gift, but then no one showed up.

"Qin Ying? She and her brother have left."

That's what the homeroom teacher said.

Qin Hui's heart skipped a beat. Brother? Where did this brother come from? There are only older sisters and younger sisters in the family, no older brothers.

Was she kidnapped by bad guys?

Her first thought was to call the police, but after thinking it over, she rationally dialed the landlady's number instead, and got through very easily.

The landlady's excited voice came over, saying—

"Hello? What's up?"

The landlady's words were not very friendly, and could even be described as somewhat distant, which immediately dampened Qin Hui's momentum.
