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

What's with this feeling of working for a public institution?

Yuqian thought for a moment, then seemed to realize something and added—

"The association has also changed its name. It used to be called the Witch Association... That seems to have been a long time ago. The seniors back then had a very difficult time... They were the ones who were called witches. Maybe they know why there was such a change."

"I see. So what is this association for?"

Chen Ming decided to learn more about the association, as it seemed to be a very large organization.

Yu Qian said—

"It started as a mutual aid organization where people got together to help each other. Later, they gradually united and evolved into what it is today."

Chen Ming understood a little, and then asked—

"Xiaoyuqian, what were you planning to do at the riverbank earlier?"

They even used their abilities to disperse the crowd...

It was as if they knew a battle was going to happen there.

Yu Qian thought for a moment and said—

"I received a mission to help the senior seamstress stop a monster... By the way, the senior seamstress used to be a witch, and everyone still calls her that now."

"The Tailor Witch?"

Chen Ming raised an eyebrow. He couldn't help but think of the girl in black. Lucifer had mentioned before that she was a witch, so it must be her.

That seamstress witch knows more, doesn't she?

He had a thought in his mind.

"Aha……"

Yuqian suddenly rubbed her eyes and yawned, as if she had become very sleepy.

Chen Ming quickly waved to the landlady, beckoning her over. He shook Yu Qian's shoulder and said—

"Tired?"

"Mmm... Daddy's arms are so warm..."

Yu Qian closed her eyes beautifully.

Chen Ming looked at her sleepy face, scratched his head. She must be exhausted from being tormented by nightmares, but there was one last question.

He said to the landlady—

"Lift your feet up."

"……abnormal."

The landlady blushed and mumbled something, but still sat on the bed, raised her little feet and offered them to him. He grabbed the little girl's fair and delicate feet, shook Yuqian, and said—

"Don't sleep yet, Xiaoyuqian, do you know what this is?"

"Ok?"

Yu Qian reluctantly opened her eyes, looked at the two overlapping feather marks below the landlady's ankle, and said—

"This is the mark of a two-striped magical girl, and it's already activated. But I feel like Xiaoying is acting a bit strange. I guess the Boss signed her up for a contract..."

"Boss?"

Who is this person?

Chen Ming was clueless, but the landlady had recalled that dream the moment she heard the word "magical girl"... Could it be...?

Chen Ming wanted to ask more questions.

goo goo...

Yuqian felt a strange noise coming from her lower abdomen, and she touched it.

I'm hungry...

Chen Ming then remembered that he had brought breakfast for her, and he had been so busy asking about the landlady that he had completely forgotten.

He looked at the little girl in his arms...

She sighed softly.

She smiled and said—

"Let's eat then. I made pancakes today, why don't you try them?"

He took the biscuit from the bedside table.

Yuqian blinked and said—

"Dad, feed me."

"……it is good."

After all, she was very well-behaved, and Chen Ming couldn't bear to be indifferent to her.

He took the pancake, held it to her lips, and said—

Come on, ah~

"Ah...mmm..."

Yuqian was happily fed, kicking her toes in the air.

The landlady rested her chin on her hand, watching the interaction between the two... Would she act the same way if she considered Chen Ming an elder?

That's really good, but she has bigger ambitions.

Seeing that Yuqian was eating rather dry food, Chen Ming said to Dongyi—

"Go get a cup of soy milk from Mom and Dad."

"Oh."

Dong Yi quickly took it; the teleportation portal was quite convenient.

Yuqian hugged the cup, gulped down a large glass, then smiled happily, patted her belly, and said—

"I'm full, my tummy feels nice, Daddy..."

As she spoke, she finally couldn't stay awake any longer; her eyelids kept drooping, and she was about to fall asleep.

She clutched the hem of his shirt, a faint, unreal smile appearing on her face—

"Dad... I wish he could stay here forever..."

"..."

Chen Ming looked at her; she was already asleep, breathing evenly.

Lucifer said—

"By the time she wakes up, she should be fully recovered."

"I see..."

Does that mean she won't call him "Dad" anymore?

He smiled and gently stroked her forehead.

Goodnight, my adopted daughter...

Chapter 277 Mother-in-law, please have some self-respect

After calming Yuqian down and getting her to lie down and sleep again, she still didn't want to let go of Chen Ming, her slightly loosened hand still clutching his clothes.

He carefully released her hand.

Looking at her little face.

He smiled.

This was truly a novel experience; he had become a father for once. Although the daughter was a bit older, fifteen or sixteen, about the same age as the landlady, and much taller.

But that expectation of his father was not unfounded.

It was something she had always longed for in her heart.

The landlady, a twin-tailed loli, seems like a mischievous girl next door, clever and witty, seemingly knowing everything, but actually quite shrewd.

Rain Fiber is simple.

After all, her mental development had regressed to that of a toddler.

I recovered after waking up.

Little Yuqian has grown up.

Even though it was only a short time since he started communicating with "Xiaoyuqian," he already felt a little reluctant to part with her.

Just as Lucifer said, he always wanted to respond to other people's feelings. When Xiaoyuqian called him "Dad," he subconsciously thought about taking care of her.

I think having such a lovely daughter is pretty good.

"..."

The landlady looked at him with disdain and said—

Why do you look so disappointed?

Do you really enjoy being called "Dad"? Just how badly are you trying to portray yourself?

"My little Yuqian..."

Chen Ming touched his chest, feeling genuinely heartbroken, like watching his daughter grow up and fly away.

What man doesn't love an obedient and adorable daughter?

Dong Yi blinked, smiled, tilted her head at him, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said—

"dad?"

"..."

This isn't the kind of daughter I want!
