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

"...Are you Chen Ming?"

"Uh, yes."

After Chen Ming answered, the Emperor was somewhat pleased, but after thinking for a moment, he realized it was impolite to look down on someone like that, so he sat down cross-legged and looked at him. He reached out his hand and gently touched Chen Ming's cheek.

“…” “…”

Neither of them spoke. Chen Ming was at a loss for words and was in a daze, while Huang seemed to be lost in memories.

"...It really is you."

"what?"

Chen Mingzhi felt completely baffled.

The emperor thought for a moment, then suddenly rummaged through his clothes and checked his spatial bag. He seemed to have not found what he was looking for, and paused slightly in surprise...

"I didn't bring it..."

How could I have forgotten to bring it... No, it seems those old guys hid it away, and it's been a long time.

The emperor gritted his teeth, looking at him with some resentment. After thinking for a moment, he covered his mouth with his hand and then handed him a silver bead.

"Uh, for me?"

Chen Ming reached out to take it, somewhat confused.

"Lord Huang!"

The little follower cried out nervously, "How could Your Majesty give this to that man? What's going on?"

The emperor watched as he held the bead in his hand, then reached out and bent his palm, firmly grasping the bead. His silver eyes looked at him, and he said—

"Take this carefully, I will come to see you."

"Huh? Wait a minute..."

Before Chen Ming could even ask her what she meant, she had already grabbed her little follower and stepped into the air, transforming into a beam of light on the horizon.

Xuan raised an eyebrow and said—

"They left the school."

"...What exactly is going on?"

Chen Ming looked at the silver bead in his hand, which seemed to have mysterious patterns on it and shone with a silvery light, reminding him of those silver eyes...

……

……

A few days later, at the ancestral home of a certain clan.

The emperor searched everywhere for something, but found nothing.

"No, no... Where did it go..."

She gritted her teeth impatiently. They certainly wouldn't dare to mess with her things, especially her most treasured possession. If they dared to throw it away, she'd skin them alive!

"Damn it..."

Unable to find it, she had no choice but to confront those old men.

"Oh!"

The door was kicked open.

"Who dares to force their way into the ancestral hall?"

A group of elderly men glared angrily at them; each one was a formidable figure. For a clan that relied on bloodlines, ancestral halls and ancestral lands were the most important places, guarded by the strongest and most respected members.

But when they saw that tall figure, their momentum waned.

"It's Your Majesty, when did you return..."

"Hand over the items."

The emperor didn't waste his breath on them.

They were slightly taken aback and asked—

"what?"

"My thing."

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and sneered—

"Fine, if you won't give it to me, then I'll destroy this place."

boom!

With one kick, he blasted a hole in the wall next to him.

After dealing with these old folks for a while, they finally stopped when others came to persuade them to.

"...what you want."

"Humph."

The emperor took the box, gently opened it, and looked inside...

It was a worn-out collar...

Chapter 292 Lu Bu Wants to Become Stronger

Chen Ming blinked, looking in the direction Huang Yuan had gone. Then he looked back at the silver bead in his hand. Wasn't that the girl who spat it out?

Um, thinking about it that way makes me feel a little disgusted.

However, since it was spat out by a beautiful girl, it's more acceptable when you think about it that way.

Moreover, there was no saliva or other dirt on the beads, and they felt as smooth and round as a piece of jade when held in the hand.

"……What's this?"

Chen Ming blinked and glanced at Xuan.

Xuan shook his head and said—

"It looks a bit like the Golden Core, but the Emperor didn't follow that path. However, it should also be a kind of power crystallization."

Some laws may look similar, but they are actually quite different and cannot be considered the same thing.

"Well……"

Cerberus frowned, looking at the thing in his master's hand, feeling a sense of crisis... not that the bead was dangerous, but rather the dog's intuition about its status.

The last time I felt this sense of crisis was when Miss Angel turned into a dog.

She shrank back and nestled in her owner's arms.

No one can take her place as a good dog.

Chen Ming carefully put the bead away, feeling that he was getting more and more strange things: cards with black and white vortexes, angel feathers and angel tears, and little fish; and now he had obtained a strange bead.

Hmm... My strange collection keeps growing.

Although he didn't know what it was for, he still kept it carefully. He had a bit of a hamster-like habit and liked to hoard fun and interesting things, and couldn't bear to throw them away.

……

Afu searched everywhere for Lü Bu's whereabouts, and after inquiring with others, she found her deep within the Sword Tomb.

It was a towering mountain peak, with countless sword fragments stuck in it, scraping and swishing from the violent sword energy, and the sky was obscured by the storm.

At the mountaintop, amidst a storm of sword energy, she sat quietly in meditation.

After thinking for a moment, Afu lightly touched the flying sword with his toes and strolled leisurely through the storm of sword energy.

Tread...  

It landed beside the man, the flying sword flashed through the air, and then sheathed itself.

Lu Bu slowly opened her eyes, her gaze sharp and piercing, displaying the most dazzling brilliance on her journey with unwavering loyalty.

She slowly turned around, looked up at A-Fu behind her, her face expressionless, and said—

"Senior Fu, is there something you need?"

"Yes, something's come up."

Afu looked at her. This exceptionally gifted genius, in the world of sword immortals, was only in his early twenties and still considered a child, yet she was already poised to dominate the world.

Compared to her, all geniuses are like stars compared to the moon, utterly incomparable.

Afu looked at her face, his brows furrowing slightly. She was exactly the same as the zombie in his house. Except for the color of her eyes and hair, everything else was identical.

The zombie in the house has red hair and red eyes.

what on earth is this kind of happenings?

Afu looked at Lü Bu, deep in thought. Lü Bu also looked at Afu, his eyes slightly lowered.

She suddenly said—

"Senior Fu has won."

"what?"

Afu's train of thought was interrupted by her words.

Lu Bu looked at A Fu and said seriously—

"I lost to Senior Fu before, and now I've lost to the Emperor, but Senior Fu has defeated the Emperor... Why has Senior Fu become so strong?"

"...It was all by chance."

Ah Fu truly felt that way. How had she become stronger? Her cultivation had fallen behind because she had to take care of him and the family. She didn't want to think about fighting either; her mind was filled with thoughts of him.

Lu Bu shook his head, reached out and stroked the blade of the sword resting on his knee, and said—

"Senior Fu has indeed become stronger. It's as if some kind of power is supporting him from behind. His footwork and moves have become more vivid."
