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

Although this seems alright... cough cough.

Ignoring their mocking expressions, Chen Ming looked at Lucifer and said—

"Wife, do you know a lot about witches?"

"Well..."

Lucifer thought for a moment and said—

"It's like doing things for that dark, gloomy guy in hell, you could say it's his agent... that's how it used to be."

"Before? And now?"

"...I don't know now."

Lucifer's red eyes looked at the landlady's mark. After Yu Qian's explanation, he now confirmed that the system was indeed a bit different.

But it's very subtle.

Chen Ming touched the landlady's head worriedly and said—

"You said before that dark thing might be using the witches as expendable resources, so now... could we talk to it and ask it to let Miss Landlady go?"

"...The unclear part is this: it may not even have the power to deal with these witches now."

Lucifer's eyes narrowed. Just who was that guy...?

The landlady looked at her toes, then at the adults discussing serious matters, unsure whether she should reveal her dream.

The mention of magical girls reminded her of that time.

Would you like to become a magical girl?

That's what the white cat said.

Is it not just a dream?

The landlady frowned.

After settling Yuqian in, everyone went back to their place. Before leaving, they opened the bottom shelf of the refrigerator and took a look at the guy who looked a lot like Lu Bu.

The talisman was firmly affixed, but she remained motionless.

A red-haired beauty was stuffed into a small refrigerator. The scene looked rather eerie, and if an outsider saw it, they would probably be scared half to death.

This matter should be dealt with.

Chen Ming and the three girls returned to their parents' house.

My aunt stood on her toes, carefully trimming her toenails.

Dad glanced at her, shook his head, and said—

"Everyone's here, your actions are really..."

"What? You've been nagging all day long since I got back."

My aunt was really annoyed. She had to get criticized for everything she did. Who could stand that?

"We're all family, why are there so many rules? You're right, aren't you?"

"what?"

As soon as Chen Ming stepped into the house, his aunt asked him to uphold justice... But with his aunt and father as his two elders, he could only try to smooth things over.

He said—

"There's nothing wrong with it, but it's never a bad thing to be careful."

He was impartial and unbiased; when he was in clubs, people said he was a master at mediating disputes.

His aunt glanced at him with her pale eyes, tilted her head and smiled, her flaxen hair flowing down to one side, and said to Chen Ming—

"Mingming, come here, help your aunt trim her toenails."

"……Why?"

Chen Ming looked at her matter-of-fact expression and didn't want to be taken advantage of and work for free, not even by her aunt.

Auntie lifted her foot, and her silkworm-like toes twitched. They were fair and delicate, just like the tender feet of a young girl.

Auntie said with a smile—

"I've done you a great favor, so what's wrong with repaying your aunt?"

Chen Ming felt somewhat confused and asked—

What has my aunt ever done for me?

There might be something wrong with that statement. His aunt had indeed helped him a lot since he was a child and had always doted on him. But judging from her tone, she wasn't bringing up the past, so he thought about it and realized that his aunt hadn't helped him much lately.

"Really are……"

His aunt pursed her lips and waved to him.

Chen Ming blinked and sat down next to his aunt.

His aunt smiled and leaned close to his ear, about to speak, but then laughed a few more times... It sounded a bit lewd, and the fragrance wafted over him as she laughed, making his ear itch.

I couldn't help but think of my sister... and the bathroom...

Aunt's voice rang out at just the right moment—

"What did you and Xiaoxiao do last night? You little rascal..."

"..."

Chen Ming remembered; his sister's key must have been given to her by his aunt… He stared blankly at his aunt, who was always up to no good…

How dare you admit it!

What kind of mother encourages her daughter to try and outdo others...?

And he even came to claim credit with a smug look on his face?

Really are……

...Well done.

Chen Ming blushed and turned his head away. He couldn't match the thick skin of his aunt, that old rogue. To say something like that so bluntly—his aunt was truly extraordinary.

Seeing that he had looked away, his aunt couldn't help but pat him and say—

"Hey, then tell me, wasn't that thanks to Auntie?"

"...My sister and I were mutually in love from the start."

Chen Ming said, forcing himself to speak.

His aunt's eyes widened, and she pinched his arm, saying—

"You little ingrate, your aunt has helped you so much, and you actually want to deny it."

"..."

Chen Ming remained silent for a moment.

Actually, from God's perspective, the aunt only gave a key; it was more about the sister's own determination and the strength of their relationship.

My aunt tried to please both sides with this kind of thing, which shows that the elders have more experience.

The aunt lay down to one side, put her feet on Chen Ming's thighs, gently nudged him, and said—

"I don't care, you have to smell your aunt's stinky feet today, or don't even think about marrying my daughter."

"..."

Chen Ming twitched his lips, looking at his "mother-in-law" who was acting like a child. She was clearly so old, but she was acting like a little kid.

He sighed helplessly.

Chapter 278 The Conflict Between Wife and Mother-in-Law

Chen Ming looked at his aunt, who had been like this since he was a child. Although she doted on him, she would occasionally do some strange things to amuse him.

My aunt is a very free-spirited person who can do anything. She's quirky and clever, and as an elder, she often leaves the younger generation both amused and exasperated.

Chen Ming remembered her kindness, so of course he wouldn't be dissatisfied with his aunt's funny behavior. It was just a way for her to stand on his aunt's feet, nothing serious.

Anyway, it doesn't smell bad.

He sighed and thought it was simply a matter of respecting the elderly and caring for the young; there was nothing wrong with taking care of an elder who had difficulty moving around.

Although my aunt is so young that you can't tell she's an elder, honestly, if she and Chen Ming walked down the street, you'd think they were siblings.

Chen Ming and his mother walking together are like siblings...

He secretly grumbled to himself, but he certainly wouldn't dare say it out loud. He was too old to want to be beaten anymore; an adult should know what can and cannot be said.

He picked up the nail clippers, muttered something under his breath, and said—

"Let me make this clear beforehand, I don't know anything about manicures, I can only cut your nails short."

"Ok?"

The aunt wiggled her toes, looked at her nephew, and said with a smile—

"You know about manicures? Do you want your aunt to teach you? There are so many girls in the family, it would be fun to help them with their nails."

Chen Ming thought of his wives' ice cream... He lowered his head slightly, looked at his aunt's feet, and said—

"no need."

He prefers other ways of doing things to manicures. And a natural look is just as good; his wives are all naturally beautiful, with gorgeous features from their hair to their toenails.

"Hmm...I guess my aunt counts too, her feet are beautiful too," he said.

"I've heard that getting manicures too often isn't good, and my aunt is already very pretty, so there's no need to overdo it."

"I don't do it anymore."

The aunt looked at her fingernails and said—

"It's really not that interesting... Hehe, Mingming speaks so sweetly. If it weren't for my aunt being old, my heart would really flutter."

It's no wonder he's the nephew who's building his own harem.
