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

"I, I'll talk..."

Yu's slender fingertips tapped together slightly as she spoke—

“I said I would listen to you obediently… We agreed before that as long as you don’t kill me or turn me into a dog, I would listen to you.”

"???"

Chen Ming was completely baffled. What was wrong with this girl's thought process? How did she get so far off track? He was asking her if she understood that everything before was a misunderstanding.

It's not about confirming that kind of thing.

Seeing his conflicted expression, Yuqian scratched her head and said—

"I know, I already know your secret, so in order to keep me quiet, you have to make me obey. Don't worry, I will be very obedient, I will keep your secret, and I will come to check on you every now and then..."

She blushed again when the word "inspection" was mentioned.

"..."

Chen Ming was 1000% certain that this girl was thinking about some kind of inappropriate scenario, like a doctor examining a nurse. Girls these days are really precocious...

The landlady covered her face and said—

"Yuqian, what are you saying?"

I feel like my IQ has dropped a bit... Hmm, that's a little strange.

Chen Ming smiled wryly, tapped the thin girl on the head, and said—

"I really don't know what you young girls are thinking. Don't worry, I believe in you. Sleep here tonight, and then go home first thing tomorrow morning. Do you need me to take you home?"

Chen Ming felt that his strength had improved considerably after his entanglement with Lucifer, and he should now be able to barely fly with a sword.

However, it's not suitable for carrying people, but he does have his wings—the Angel. The Angel usually carries him, always by his side; they've practically become his own wings.

It wouldn't be difficult to get Miss Angel to send Yuqian back.

Alternatively, you can drive.

Chen Ming was seriously considering how to send the girl back, but Yu Qian panicked a little when she saw his posture.

Is this really the time to let her go?

From now on, we have no further relationship...

Yu Qian pursed her lips, then said—

"Are you... are you still going to do something to me? Just put me at ease first, and then after tonight I'll cease to exist and become a stupid dog that only knows how to fawn over others."

"Wang?"

Cerberus tilted her head, her red eyes narrowing slightly. Even with her not-so-bright brain, she seemed to sense that she had been scolded. Was it just her imagination?

"Ah, this..."

Chen Ming was speechless for a moment. He really hadn't thought about anything and wanted to just let the matter go. Why was Yu Qian still making things up in her head?

This child could perhaps write novels.

He gave a wry smile and said—

"If you're worried, you can go home by yourself now, but I'm just a little concerned."

She's still a little girl, after all. It's not good to let her go home alone in the middle of the night, even though Chen Ming knows she's not some weak woman who can't even kill a chicken.

Yu Qian glanced at him, nodded, and said—

"So they really don't trust me? They'll probably ambush me on my way back, giving me hope first, then utter despair..."

"...Don't worry, I know Yuqian is a good girl, so she won't do anything to you."

"I understand, being a good boy means I should obey..."

"..."

Chen Ming twitched his lips. "You've figured it all out again. You've figured it all out. Maybe you could run for president over there?"

Seeing his helpless expression, Yuqian turned her head slightly away and said—

"Where in the world is there such a cheap deal? You stumbled upon such an astonishing secret, and you didn't even keep quiet, just carelessly letting them leave. Do you think I'm a fool?"

"???"

Chen Ming seemed to be unable to reason with her, because what she said was not without merit.

She looked at Chen Ming and said—

"Mr. Chen Ming, think about it yourself. If on TV, someone stumbles upon a major secret, and instead of keeping it quiet, the other person treats her to a nice meal and then drives her home, wouldn't you think the screenwriter who designed such a scene is out of their mind?"

"...This is different."

"What's the difference?"

"You're a girl..."

"What's wrong with girls? Women hold up half the sky."

"..."

Chen Ming felt a sense of unreality, and he increasingly felt that what she said did make a lot of sense... But what was she doing? Was she trying to persuade him not to let her go?

You'd be an idiot if you let me go.

No, what's going on here? He pleaded with Yuqian to let her go, but Yuqian urged him not to let her go so easily…

Okay, this is so confusing...

Chen Ming felt a little dizzy. Had the positions of both sides been reversed?

Having been caught, he proactively requested that the pressure be increased. Chen Ming had never heard of such a request in his life... Well, it seems there is one. Dong Yi seems to have done the same thing, having been caught and proactively requesting to stay at home and not move.

The landlady was initially laughing, finding Yuqian's sudden lapse in intelligence amusing. But slowly, her smile froze on her face, and the more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed…

This technique...

Something's not right... something seems off...

The landlady stared intently at Yuqian, the famously talented girl in the school. Although she had done things like slacking off and catching birds at school, could she be a fool?

Yuqian noticed the landlady's gaze and lowered her head somewhat guiltily.

Chapter 308 My Daughter is a Magical Girl

Chen Ming was actually a little confused by what this girl was saying, and he couldn't figure out if she had lost her mind or what.

He sighed and said—

"I really won't do anything to you, you can go now."

"No."

Yuqian hunched her shoulders and shook her head, her bony feet stepping on the bed, her slender, fair fingers clearly showing her childlike innocence.

She hugged her knees, her delicate back taut yet supple, stole a glance at him, thought for a moment, and said—

"You, you must be trying to break the contract."

"Breach of contract?"

Chen Ming was slightly taken aback. What breach of contract? Did he have any agreement with Yu Qian?

Seeing his bewildered expression, Yuqian reminded him—

"You must be trying to lure me away so that our agreement that you'll let me go if I behave will be void, and you can then do terrible things to me with a legitimate reason... I'm not stupid."

Yuqian kept shaking her head, her eyes filled with the wariness of a small animal as she looked at him.

"..."

So, when I relaxed and decided to let her go, it only made her suspicious?

Chen Ming's expression was somewhat distorted.

This is really troublesome.

Click...

Just then, Lucifer opened the door and walked in. Chen Ming and the others looked over, and Lucifer said to them—

What are you doing?

Then, looking at Chen Ming, he raised an eyebrow slightly and said—

"I need to get ready. Didn't we agree to make some arrangements tonight?"

"Ah, yes."

Chen Ming seemed to remember something and nodded. There were still some things to take care of tonight.

However, Yuqian's expression turned surprised upon hearing the word "planning." Huh? Could it be that all her ramblings were true? Did Mr. Chen Ming actually never intend to let her go?

"As expected..."

Yuqian was afraid.

Chen Ming looked back, rubbed his forehead, and said—

"It's not a scheme against you."

"Who is that for?"

"My cat."

Chen Ming and Lucifer had discussed it and decided to use a combination of persuasion and coercion tonight to get the white cat to talk. Since they really didn't know what tricks the white cat was up to, they needed to prepare carefully.

However, Yu Qian, who was unaware of the situation, tilted her head and said—

"cat?"

"Oh, right..."

The landlady seemed to have thought of something and asked Yuqian—

"Yuqian, when you became a magical girl, did you ever dream of a cat?"

"A dream? A cat?"
