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

Both black and white are incredibly soothing.

I wish I could stay like this forever, drowning in this world of tenderness.

Well, that sounds a bit derogatory. Maybe it's better to put it another way... I wish things could stay like this forever, with my wife, kids, and a warm bed—nothing could be better.

The child refers to the landlady (?).

However, the matter of Cerberus remains unresolved.

He opened his eyes and asked—

"Where is Cerberus?"

"I'm hiding at my aunt's house."

Lucifer said—

"You've only eaten so little, even Mom thinks it's strange."

It's certainly worrying if a child who usually eats a lot suddenly loses their appetite.

Chen Ming smiled and said—

"It's alright, she's only eaten so little, she'll probably be hungry again soon. I'll make her something to eat and also give her some advice."

Give your dog some food to help it regain its energy.

Chapter 254 Catching the Silly Dog Girl

Actually, raising a dog is quite troublesome, but since you've already chosen to raise one, you should take full responsibility for it.

In addition to diet, we should also pay more attention to physical health and mental well-being, as dogs that are depressed are also more prone to illness.

For example, if you can't eat, like you usually eat three big bowls of rice, but today you only eat one bowl, you won't get enough nutrition and your immunity will drop.

As the owner, you have the right to own your dog and also the corresponding responsibilities.

Chen Ming walked into the kitchen. After thinking about it, he realized that he had much less work to do in the kitchen than before, because girls like Lucifer and Afu helped him and shared the burden.

What a good girl.

Even now, when he's cooking, A-Fu is peeking in from outside, seemingly wanting to help, but he just put restrictions on her overworking behavior and now doesn't know what to do.

Chen Ming glanced over, and A Fu's gray little head shrank back.

This girl...

A highly respected sword immortal senior? I can't tell at all. She seems like an ordinary, somewhat timid little girl who likes to take care of others.

Chen Ming smiled and said—

"You just ran away like that, what about the Sword Immortal Martial Arts Competition?"

"Hmm...it seems like it's been paused for now."

Ah Fu craned her neck and stood on tiptoe to look into the kitchen, but she was careful not to overstep her bounds, afraid that he might say something.

This feeling of being controlled by him, I don't find it unpleasant. I can't always be working, so I stick close to him and see what he's doing.

"Can a martial arts exercise be paused so easily?"

Chen Ming tilted his head.

Ah Fu said—

"Since only three people were going to participate in the next martial arts demonstration, I was going to abstain, but the Heretic Emperor said I could wait, and Lu Bu agreed, so we paused."

"Lu Bu..."

Chen Ming frowned, remembering the living corpse.

"What exactly happened...?"

"Perhaps... Lu Bu practiced some kind of transformative technique? But her age has been confirmed by the school."

Afu's expression turned slightly serious. If it were a method of complete transformation, at least the soul would remain unchanged. If the soul had changed, the person would no longer be the same.

That living corpse was at least tens of thousands of years old, which is completely different from Lu Bu.

Chen Ming didn't quite understand these things either, so he shook his head and said—

"You should ask around later, don't let this little bastard dig up some old tomb of Lu Bu's ancestors... that's really despicable."

Chen Ming shook an empty soy sauce bottle vigorously.

"Waaaaaah..."

The little fish was dizzy inside, and looking at Chen Ming, she said—

“I’ve already confessed. I didn’t dig up the grave. I just went to a place, took down that piece of paper, and returned it now.”

Which place?

Afu tilted his head.

Little Fish said—

"It seems to be an underground place, which you pass through through a crack."

Chen Ming said—

"I'll hand you over to Lucifer later, and you can explain things to her properly."

"No, no... Waaaaah..."

Little Fish had a bitter look on his face. He knew he wouldn't fare well if he fell into Lucifer's hands, so he'd better just confess honestly.

That demon was only gentle to Chen Ming and those who were good to him.

Everything revolves around him.

Mischievous little fish like this need to be taught a lesson.

As Chen Ming chatted, he had already prepared a plate of crispy, sweet wraps, which he was about to take to Cerberus. Looking at Afu at the door, he smiled and said—

"Ah Fu, come here, here's one for you."

"Ah."

Ah Fu, of course, liked his cooking skills and took one.

Chen Ming whispered—

"Don't let anyone see this, okay? I'm giving the rest to Cerberus; she hasn't eaten yet."

Ah Fu blinked. So, if she wasn't watching, she wouldn't get to eat it? She was really lucky then, she said with a smile—

"I see."

Chen Ming smiled. A Fu was always so obedient, but he always bullied others. He was really shameless.

Watching Afu eat the pancake in small bites, he dipped a crumb of the pancake in his finger near her lips, put it in his mouth right in front of her, and said with a smile—

"sweet."

"Well……"

Afu lowered her head shyly.

Having teased the little maid again, Chen Ming, carrying the plate, went outside. He first went to the balcony, handed the soy sauce bottle to Lucifer, and said—

"Could you ask them for me? I've already delivered food to Cerberus. Do you want some?"

"no need."

Lucifer looked at him with his red eyes, smiled, and said—

"I'm already full."

Not only was there dinner earlier, but also a lap pillow for Chen Ming, so he was full in every sense of the word.

Chen Ming draws energy from her lap pillow, and she also finds satisfaction in such intimate gestures; love is always a two-way street.

He stroked her white hair with a touch of lingering affection before carrying the plate to his aunt's house across the street.

He stood in the living room and looked around, but didn't see Cerberus. Before, if he could smell Cerberus approaching, he would come running over.

Chen Ming put one hand on his hip and said—

"Cerberus? Are you playing hide-and-seek with me? Come out now."

I searched everywhere, but there was no response.

Could it be that……

Chen Ming looked at the wardrobe. He opened the wardrobe door. This wardrobe was not used often and had been modified into a "door" by Cerberus.

With one step, he was already back in their small home.

Whether it's this small rented room or the several rooms at my aunt's place, they all sleep together, so it doesn't seem to matter whether it's a little bigger or smaller.

Actually, after thinking about it, there are actually many places to stay outside the landlady's room and A-Fu's room, but no one wants to sleep anywhere else; they all want to snuggle up next to him.

He was happy to do so.

As soon as he arrived, Cerberus could smell him and the bread.

Splash splash splash...

There was a commotion in the room.

Chen Ming went over to take a look.

Cerberus buried himself completely in the blankets, leaving only his kneeling rear end exposed, his tail drooping limply.

What kind of posture is this, where you only care about your head and not your butt?

He walked over with a smile, pulled up her blanket, and said—

"Alright, come out quickly. You're still not full? Time to eat."

"I...I'm not hungry..."

"Then come out and let me see you."

"I won't let you see it."
