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

"Let's not go back today. It's too late and too dangerous."

The message was, "Don't even think about running away, or you'll regret it." The Sword Fairy looked ashen-faced.

Click.

The bathroom door is closed.

Chen Ming looked at the Sword Immortal Miss, whose face was filled with despair, and said—

"Where did Miss Dongyi come from? I keep hearing you mention failing courses, are you from the same school?"

"It is indeed called a school now..."

The sword fairy looked somewhat dejected, but regained some confidence when the topic turned to school, saying—

“If my teachers and classmates find out I’m missing, they will definitely come looking for me, so you’d better let me go. Don’t worry, I promise I won’t tell anyone about what you’re doing.”

"Besides, it's actually fine if people talk about it. Right now, it's not necessary to eliminate heretics. Just give them a warning and they won't actually do anything. Really."

"I knew it was wrong of me to hit you before, but you kept it from me too, so we're even, right? Please, please let me go. I have elderly parents and young children to support..."

How did it turn into a classic plea for mercy line? Chen Ming thought for a moment, but she had mentioned a senior who had been imprisoned in a dark room for thousands of years.

Based on this reasoning, the age range of those people should be quite large.

He raised an eyebrow and said—

"You have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise. Aren't you a senior citizen who's thousands of years old and a junior who's hundreds of years old?"

"...I was just saying. Besides, where would I get hundreds of years old descendants? I'm not one of those old monsters."

Miss Sword Fairy seemed a little unhappy, probably because her age had been mentioned and she was a bit annoyed. Chen Ming looked at her; although she was a sweet and pretty woman with long hair that reached her waist, she had a beauty reminiscent of the water towns of Jiangnan.

But then he thought about how she might actually be older than his mother...

The sword fairy noticed something was off about his gaze and knew exactly what he was thinking. She slammed her hand on the table and shouted—

"I'm only 23 years old! To be honest, the one who went in to take a shower is the one that costs tens of thousands..."

The sword fairy's words came to an abrupt end.

Chen Ming could see her body begin to tremble again, her brown eyes staring in the direction of the bathroom, as if she had seen something terrifying, her pupils constricted.

What kind of terrible thing did I just do?

The sword fairy broke out in a cold sweat. At such close range, anything she said would obviously be heard by the guy inside.

She could almost see endless shadows spilling out from the bathroom doorway, slowly spreading to her feet. She almost cried out—

"I...I...you can't find one as young and beautiful as this among tens of thousands of people."

Then she saw the shadow slowly retreat back into the bathroom.

Chen Ming found it strange that Miss Sword Fairy kept staring at the floor. He looked around but didn't see anything, then glanced at the bathroom door.

Turning to the sword fairy, he asked—

"What's wrong? Why do you have such a strange expression? But it's true, Lucifer is very beautiful..."

Chen Ming lowered his head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"..."

pretty?

You call that monster beautiful? Foolish man, you have no idea about her darkness. The Sword Fairy's cheek twitched, she kept complaining in her heart, but dared not say it out loud.

Speaking of which, that monster is called Lucifer? Hmm... I seem to have heard of him somewhere before? For someone from a heretical sect to even have some impression of him, he must be a big shot. After all, you wouldn't be familiar with an unknown nobody.

The swordswoman sighed, utterly exhausted by fear, and began to feel that nothing mattered anymore; just a quick death was enough.

"Let's just get straight to the point. What do you want me to do? I'll agree to anything."

"Really? Then let us stay for a while."

"Are you trying to see if I'm trustworthy? I agree."

"Going out is fine, but someone must accompany you."

"Household custodial? I agree. But will you get food?"

"Of course, you're still a guest in name only, so I'll cook for you."

Chen Ming said this, and the Sword Fairy Miss raised her head and thought for a moment. She could eat such delicious food for free every time? Wow? Isn't this a huge profit?

They had little money and nowhere to stay when they ran away, but now they're getting free food, drink, and lodging without spending a penny.

House arrest is nothing! There's food and drink here, and Chen Ming speaks so nicely. I love being here.

Chen Ming raised an eyebrow as he watched her expression shift from worry to joy. Why was this girl's mood so volatile, going from dejected to happy in an instant?

He stroked his chin and said—

"Stewed potatoes with meat?"

"agree."

"Cola chicken wings?"

"agree."

"Beef rice?"

"agree."

"Marry Chen Ming?"

"Agreed! Uh... um???"

Without thinking, Miss Sword Fairy answered using her habitual thinking. She was stunned for a moment. Wait, did she just agree to some incredible proposal?

Huh? This, could this be... a confession...?

He lowered his head and thought for half a minute.

The Sword Fairy's face slowly turned red. Looking at Chen Ming, who was already laughing hysterically, she realized she'd been tricked. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying—

"Chen Ming..."

"Pfft... Yes, sorry, I just suddenly thought you might fall for it, and it's quite interesting."

Chen Ming burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.

Playing pranks on others can be fun, even if it's a perverse hobby.

The sword fairy couldn't take it anymore and, feeling both ashamed and angry, punched him a few times, saying—

"It's been like this from the very beginning. You're the worst. You pretended to be harmless, but then you betrayed me!"

If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have ended up in such a state.

"Ouch, are you really hitting me? Stop hitting me, it hurts so much..."

He quickly defended himself, and said with a smile—

"I didn't deliberately set you up. You came to me on your own, saying you wanted to exorcise the demon. I didn't ask you to."

"You're still trying to deny it! You're just trying to deny it!"

Not satisfied with just hitting him, the sword fairy kicked his shin, releasing all the pent-up resentment and making him feel much better.

She looked at Chen Ming, who was constantly crying out in pain, and curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

Hmph, serves him right.

Chapter 26 The Strange Sword Immortals

Miss Sword Fairy felt that Chen Ming and the other person really had no intention of harming her. Although she was still a little afraid of Lucifer, she didn't complain too much since she had food and lodging.

She looked around and reached out to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming was somewhat puzzled and asked—

"what?"

Where are my things?

Chen Ming thought for a moment, then walked into the room. A moment later, he returned with the long box, handed it to her, and said—

"Is this it? It's quite heavy."

"After all, it's a sword, and the scabbard is also quite heavy."

The sword fairy picked up the black box with one hand, as if it were effortless, and she picked it up very easily.

Chen Ming blinked and asked curiously—

"You say this is a sword, but I can't find the switch to turn it on."

"How can we let ordinary people open it so easily?"

The sword fairy shook her head and said—

"It takes some skill, like this..."

No one knows what she did, but a stream of light suddenly appeared in the black box. Before Chen Ming could see it clearly, a very simple longsword floated behind the Sword Fairy.

The sharp blade gleamed with a cold light.

The air seemed to have gotten colder.

Chen Ming found it very amazing. Although Dong Yi had said that he was a sword immortal, this was actually the first time he had ever seen something so amazing.

What's the underlying principle?

Chen Ming reached out to touch it, but the flying sword gently drifted away, preventing him from touching it.

The Sword Immortal said—

"Don't touch it carelessly, it's very dangerous. If it's covered in sword energy, you won't be able to keep your hand."

Chen Ming said—

"Can't I even take a look? I just want to see it; I've never seen a real sword before."

"It's just an ordinary sword, nothing special."
