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

"Forehead……"

Xuan paused slightly, then averted his gaze with his dark purple eyes. There was no coercion, but bribery was another matter… Xuan felt slightly embarrassed.

Dong Yi persisted, saying—

"Come on, tell me, what did he promise you?"

"..."

Xuan pursed her lips.

But the dog betrayed her, saying—

"The master allowed her to see Afu often."

"Oh……"

Dong Yi deliberately drew out his voice.

As expected, my husband is a bad guy, although he probably doesn't even realize there's an opportunity here.

Sometimes they seem like a block of wood, but at crucial moments they are surprisingly perceptive.

Xuan felt slightly uncomfortable being stared at by Mrs. Dongyi, and his toes twitched slightly.

Hey?

Dongyi suddenly realized that if her husband used Afu to force Xuan to submit, it might actually work.

I would do anything for my master's happiness...

Ugh, that's so evil.

Dong Yi shook his head.

Whoosh-!

Afu also returned on his flying sword. Looking at the group of people getting along well, he blinked his gray eyes.

"master."

Xuan's eyes lit up slightly when he saw his master. Afu walked over with a smile.

Chen Ming looked at his little maid and asked—

"What did Lü Bu say?"

"Hmm... Lu Bu doesn't seem to know."

"I see."

Chen Ming felt this was a bit troublesome, but things couldn't be forced. If there was no way to deal with it for the time being, then he would put it aside for now.

It's getting dark, time to go home.

Chen Ming led his group back to the door.

Before leaving, Xuan thought for a moment, then handed his black sword to Chen Ming, averting his gaze and saying somewhat nervously—

"Here, you can use this sword. You don't have a flying sword yet, do you?"

"Um... is this okay?"

Chen Ming took the black sword.

Xuan said—

"It's nothing. I'll just go to the Sword Tomb and find another one later. Maybe I can find a divine weapon."

"Huh? But didn't you say before that there were no divine weapons in the Sword Tomb?"

Chen Ming was slightly taken aback.

Her dark purple eyes looked at him, her face clearly exuding heroic spirit, but her current smile revealed a hint of mischief. She said—

"You can't tell the truth to outsiders."

But now you're no longer an outsider.

The moment the words left his mouth, he felt something was off, as if they were implying something. His cheeks flushed slightly, and he finally said—

Anyway, that's settled.

With that, he stepped into the air and vanished.

Chen Ming looked in the direction she left, picked up the sword Xuan had left behind, and scratched his head.

Afu blinked and said—

"His relationship with Xuan has become very good."

"is it?"

"A sword immortal wouldn't just give away their sword so easily, would they?"

Dong nodded, then smiled and said—

"Would you like to give it a try?"

"Try what?"

“Tell Xuan to be my wife, or I’ll bully your master and spank her every day. Hahaha, I think she’ll agree.”

"..."

Chen Ming was speechless for a moment, while A Fu blushed and gently covered her bottom.

Dongyi looked at Afu and said—

“What do you think, Afu? Come and act out a tragic scene. You can get a spanking, and Chen Ming can get a wife. It’s a win-win situation.”

"I...I don't know...but Xuan won't agree, will he?"

And why would her getting spanked be a win-win situation? She didn't...

Afu blushed.

……

"Achoo!"

Xuan, still unaware of Dong Yi's despicable tricks, rubbed his nose in confusion.

Chapter 294 Her Collar

Inside the hotel, the tailor, dressed in Gu Qing's clothes, had a hint of anxiety in his dark gray eyes.

A long time has passed, and Yuqian has still not been found. Even after asking her companions to investigate, they still couldn't find any trace of her.

It was such a big deal, yet it was as if an invisible hand had severed all the cause and effect, making it impossible to trace.

Gu Qing now removed the cloth covering her eyes, revealing her red eye. She felt that the color of her eye was getting darker and darker, as if it were stained with blood.

The tailor, dressed in a loose-fitting dress, moved with surprising efficiency, quickly preparing her belongings. She nodded and said to Gu Qing—

"I'll go to the site myself to take a look and investigate."

"Huh? Okay, okay..."

Before Gu Qing could say anything, the senior tailor had already swiftly walked out...

Bang!

Seemingly unaccustomed to such a dress, the tailor stumbled slightly, her forehead slamming against the doorframe.

"Waaah..."

She clutched her forehead, stomped her foot slightly, her deep gray-blue eyes filled with tears, and her face flushed red with embarrassment.

She looked at Gu Qing, who was looking at her with concern, waved her hand, and said—

"No, I'm fine..."

The heels on these shoes are way too high. The tailor carefully stepped outside.

Gu Qing looked at her with some concern...

He sighed.

She jumped onto the bed, kicked off her shoes, hugged a pillow, and her eyes slowly filled with disappointment.

"I've been left behind again... Anyway, I'm just a burden..."

Running into obstacles everywhere in the world of superpowered individuals, it seems I really don't belong here; I'm too weak. It's no wonder Gu Qing thinks this way; the more hopeful she was before, the more disappointed she is now.

Om-!

Her phone rang, and after glancing at it, her expression turned even more sour.

Answer the phone—

"Hello? What's up? You guys can handle this little thing..."

He then hung up the phone.

It's nothing more than letting her go back to take charge of the overall situation, to be an ordinary rich kid, to inherit the family business, isn't that enough? Why is she running around complaining for no reason?

"Ugh……"

Gu Qing let out a long sigh.

It's not about pursuing dreams or anything; I just simply like superpowers. Don't you find those amazing abilities in novels and anime interesting and cool?

I don't want to be part of that kind of circle, using time stop to do homework, flying ability to travel, or burning fruit to roast sweet potatoes?

Of course, some people might say that money is also a powerful asset, but she feels that the difference in perception is still significant.

It's ridiculous. At such an old age, they're still acting like teenagers, dreaming about these unrealistic things. But when they finally find their place, they discover they're not needed at all.

The disappointment was immense.

Although he mocked Qin Hui for giving away her money, she had clearly found a sucker to take her in and received the warmth of a home she had always dreamed of.

This is so unlike me. The things I pursue are so far removed from reality. I'm almost thirty and still struggling between my dreams and reality.

"If only I were stronger... The world of ordinary people is meaningless..."
