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

"Huh? I, I wasn't working."

Afu quickly explained.

Qin Hui smiled. This girl was quite cute. She said—

"Don't worry, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask where you all sleep. With so many people, are there enough rooms?"

"It's enough, since we all sleep together."

"Ok?"

Qin Hui raised an eyebrow. What did that mean?

Sleeping together under the same quilt?

I suddenly became a little unsettled.

Chapter 257 She's your aunt, and also your mother-in-law.

When Cerberus awoke, his head was still a little numb.

Chen Ming held her in his arms, gently stroking her head and lower abdomen. In the end, Cerberus lost consciousness for a moment.

The spirit flew away.

The extreme relief almost drove her crazy.

She couldn't help but cry and vent, then had a hysterical outburst, finally calming down in his arms, and is now slowly regaining her composure.

Cerberus looked at him and pursed his lips—

"Master... is a pervert."

"puff."

Chen Ming laughed and stroked her forehead. "Good dog, you know how to criticize him now, that's good."

"That's right. I'm not a saint. You always think I'm very gentle, but that's not actually the case. You're just over-idealizing it... But I'm glad you see me that way..."

Because it means how much you love me.

However, sometimes being too reckless can cause significant harm to oneself. Like now, taking all the blame upon oneself.

Cerberus looked into his eyes, then shook his head and said—

"My master is very good, it's just that I've always been too willful..."

She claims she's punishing herself by dieting, and that she's too guilty to approach him. But actually, this only makes everyone worry about her and causes trouble for others.

Ultimately, it's because I'm too stupid; I didn't even understand something this simple.

How could someone who loves her and likes her possibly want to see her torment herself? In the end, it only caused him more worry.

She reached out and grabbed the hem of his shirt, buried her face in his chest, pressed her face against his heart, and closed her eyes.

"Master, I'm sorry..."

"I am sorry for deceiving you, for doing such a terrible thing to you, and for forgetting your words and not waiting for you."

Chen Ming held her in his arms. If they absolutely had to share the burden, then Chen Ming would definitely have a share too. So, they should just share the responsibility together.

You must feel lonely by yourself.

He reached out and touched her back to calm her down.

Chen Ming said—

“You know, here, if a dog makes a mistake, the owner is responsible. So, if you always say you're wrong, it actually means I'm wrong too. Whatever you do, I share the responsibility... So, I'm your owner, and I'll always be with you.”

"……Um."

Cerberus listened to his heartbeat and smiled with relief.

Seeing this expression, Chen Ming felt relieved.

……

……

"Master, master, master! I'm hungry! I want to eat, eat, eat!"

Cerberus swung Chen Ming's arm, and despite claiming to be hungry, she was surprisingly strong. Chen Ming felt like she was about to tear his arm off.

Chen Ming remembered that she had indeed said before that she wanted to eat one of his arms, and he couldn't help but worry that she was starving.

He said—

"Alright, alright, I'll go heat up your food. You go and have a mooncake, and some fruit and snacks."

"Great!"

Cerberus trotted over to Lucifer and grabbed a variety of snacks, devouring them with gusto.

"Uuuuuuu..."

Cerberus looked around, realizing the food was a bit too stuffed.

Lucifer smiled, poured her a glass of water, and Cerberus quickly took it and drank it down in one gulp, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Lucifer tilted his head and teased—

"Didn't you say you were full? Are you hungry again so soon?"

"Hmm... I was full before... It's all Master's fault, he ate it all again."

Cerberus pursed his lips, which amused Lucifer. Cerberus had learned to blame Chen Ming, but he clearly felt that their hearts were more in sync.

The dog kept eating, leaving crumbs around its mouth, and then it noticed a strange thing on the table: a small fish.

Listless and dejected.

Cerberus poked it and asked Lucifer—

"Can I eat this?"

"Well..."

Lucifer gave a meaningful smile, and Little Fish shuddered, quickly saying—

"I confess, I've confessed everything, I really told you everything, sob sob sob... Don't eat me..."

Clinging to Lucifer's fingers, she burst into tears.

It's not hard to imagine what methods Lucifer used to make it open its mouth.

Well, actually, she didn't use any special methods. From the beginning, Xiaoyu was honest and told everyone everything in an attempt to get forgiveness.

But Lucifer always felt... I haven't even forced you, yet you've already said this. How credible are those words?

The little fish was stunned on the spot.

In the end, he still suffered some kind of treatment from Lucifer. It was really terrible. He had already said it, but they still did it. It was so tragic...

The little fish immediately became withdrawn.

To be honest, this is a punishment for it being a thief. Since it has come to accept this home and wants its protection, it has to be disciplined by the home.

Such a mischievous child needs to be properly educated.

However, according to Xiaoyu's confession, he directly entered a spatial rift, removed the person's life talisman, and was then relentlessly pursued.

That's it in simple terms.

When asked why there are cracks underground or what kind of place they are, they know nothing.

Cerberus tilted her head. Now that she had come to her senses, she realized that ninety-nine percent of the blame for her master's danger should be placed on this guy, right?

Her eyes slowly turned dangerous as she spoke to Lucifer—

"Lucifer, let's eat it."

"Eeeeeeeeeee!"

The little fish covered its head, pretending to be pitiful.

……

……

Chen Ming heated up some food for Cerberus, but his mother came over just then. Watching him open the pot, she said—

"Is Cerberus willing to eat now?"

"Yes, I am hungry."

My stomach is empty, how can I not be hungry?

Chen Ming looked at his mother and sensed she seemed hesitant, so he asked—

"Mom, is something the matter?"

"Um...it's about your aunt..."

Mom sighed and said—

"No matter how we pressure her, she won't tell us. It's been a worry for your father and me for so many years. Xiaomei is the most troublesome child."

"I see... Then let my sister go ask her. Where is my sister?"

Chen Ming looked outside.

"It seems like your sister and she are having a fight. To be honest, I've never seen Xiaoxiao have a fight that lasted this long. Look how anxious Xiaomei is."

Mom smiled and continued—

"Go and help those stupid mother and daughter. They'll probably never be able to reconcile like this. Also, find out what happened."

"Huh? This... how should I ask?"

Chen Ming scratched his head. Should he just ask his sister who her biological father was?

Isn't that too abrupt?

Besides, this is a matter for the elders; what's the point of a young upstart like him asking about it...?

I was about to refuse...
