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

She slept in a proper sleeping position, her hands folded on her lower abdomen, her white hair spread out on the pillow, as pure as a lotus flower in bloom.

Her exquisite features are stunning.

Dong Yi thought Chen Ming was right; she was indeed quite beautiful. However, she had already formed a preconceived notion and always felt that there was unfathomable darkness hidden beneath that stunning appearance.

It's frightening.

Aren't you going to sleep yet?

Lucifer's sudden words startled the Sword Fairy, who clutched the thin blanket tightly and said—

"I want to sleep now, soon."

"..."

Lucifer opened his red eyes, first glancing at Chen Ming on the floor below, then looking at Dong Yi. After thinking for a moment, he said—

"I want to apologize for what happened before. I'm sorry."

"Hey?"

The Sword Fairy was taken aback by Lucifer's words and was momentarily at a loss for words.

Lucifer said—

“I’m worried that you’ll attract a lot of people. Although it won’t affect me much, he’s just an ordinary person, and it would be troublesome if he were targeted by those people.”

"I see."

The Sword Fairy's gaze passed over Lucifer and landed on Chen Ming, who was lying on the floor. Was it because she was worried about Chen Ming?

Dong Yi hesitated for a moment, then asked—

“Lucifer…sir…”

"Just call him Lucifer."

"Um, okay, what's the relationship between Lucifer and Chen Ming?"

He said I was his creditor.

"Creditor?"

Miss Sword Fairy was somewhat confused.

Lucifer's Way—

“I saved his life, and he said he wanted to pay me back. I felt that was enough, but he wouldn’t let it go.”

"Lucifer saved Chen Ming?"

Can demons save people? And it sounds like Chen Ming is the one who's going to be the sucker?

Dong Yi couldn't help but laugh and said—

"What a strange guy."

"Right? I also think he's weird."

"The strange thing I'm talking about includes Lucifer, too."

"How to say?"

"Demons don't usually save people, right? Ah, unless it's at the cost of a soul or something? Did Chen Ming sacrifice his own soul?"

In Dongyi's various works, it's usually necessary to sacrifice a soul to get a demon to do something, right?

However, Lucifer said—

"No, I just took a pancake."

"...What did you take?"

"Jianbing, or more accurately, jianbing guozi?"

"No, no, no, it's not a matter of species."

The sword fairy sat up, her eyes wide, staring at Lucifer in disbelief, and said—

"Saving a life and all you got in return was a few dollars' worth of bread?"

"That's how the deal was agreed upon, but he's actually given me so much more. He keeps saying that his life is worth more than just this..."

Lucifer spoke expressionlessly, but now, in the eyes of the Sword Fairy, this expressionless face no longer felt terrifying; instead, she found it rather cute.

She really wanted to give Lucifer a good whack on the head. "You're a devil! Trading a life for a piece of bread, are you doing charity?"

Even charitable workers don't have a conscience like you, you devil.

Although he often says that he does good deeds anonymously and without seeking anything in return, going to the hospital costs money. He said it was a transaction but only accepted a piece of cake in exchange for saving a life. No matter how you look at it, he is a great philanthropist.

Lucifer, unaware of Dong Yi's inner thoughts, continued—

"Anyway, that's why I'm here. Chen Ming didn't know about the nightmares you had before, so feel free to tell me if you have any complaints."

Don't involve others?

The Sword Fairy understood the implication in Lucifer's words, and she increasingly felt that... this demon might actually be a good person?

Lucifer continued—

“I had previously suggested erasing your consciousness, but Chen Ming stopped me from doing that to you. He helped you, so please don’t resent him.”

Miss Sword Fairy glanced at the sleeping Chen Ming again. Could it be that Miss Lucifer wanted to take on all the blame herself?

She looked into Lucifer's red eyes, beautiful like rubies, clear and bright, and smiled, saying—

"okay."

"That's good."

After Lucifer finished speaking, he slowly straightened his face, which had been turned to the side, and gently closed his eyes, preparing to sleep.

But Dong Yi suddenly said—

"Miss Lucifer is a good person."

"what?"

Lucifer opened his eyes again, and frowned as if he had heard something unbelievable.

She said—

"I'm going to erase your consciousness and turn you into a doll, and you still think I'm a good person? Do you really have Stockholm Syndrome, like Chen Ming said?"

"Well, maybe there's a little bit of that."

The sword fairy hesitated slightly upon hearing her words, but still spoke—

"But I think Miss Lucifer is really a good person."

"……Why?"

"Because you saved Chen Ming's life, didn't you? You saved his life for nothing, how much help would a pancake really be to you?"

"..."

Lucifer pursed his lips and retorted—

"A transaction is a transaction; even the price of a pie can be justified."

"I actually think that's more like an excuse."

Dongyi wondered if Lucifer's pace had been disrupted. She said, amused—

"It's like giving yourself a reason to get involved, just making up a random excuse."

"...You are really quite ill; these are all just your guesses."

Lucifer was starting to want to shut this guy up.

Dong Yi continued smiling as he spoke—

"Well, how about I guess again? When you saw my condition before, you pointed out that something was wrong with my mental state. Did you want me to notice it and adjust myself?"

"And in our current conversation, you're trying to take all the blame upon yourself and prevent me from targeting Chen Ming, an ordinary person, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, when you captured me, you must have suggested leaving so that everything could go back to normal. The reason you didn't do that must be because Chen Ming stopped you, right?"

A kind-hearted man, fond of self-sacrifice—the Sword Immortal had already formed the image of Lucifer in her mind. She smiled and said—

"That's why I don't believe Miss Lucifer would actually do anything outrageous."

"..."

Is this guy really that smart? Wasn't he supposed to be a loser who failed almost every subject?

Dong Yi, somewhat carried away by his pride, said—

"Miss Lucifer? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you shy? How adorable..."

Lucifer's lips twitched.

His red eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Dong Yi with a sinister gaze and said—

"Dongyi, do you know how smart people usually die?"

"Huh? This...I..."

Dong immediately sensed something was wrong and was about to beg for mercy.

Lucifer grabbed her head with one hand, his eyes flashing with a purple light, and said—

"Die from talking too much."

"Wrong..."

He was only halfway through pleading for mercy.

Dongyi's vision went black as he fell into a nightmare.

Chapter 32 Lolis are so good, why not control them?

Chen Ming got up early to make breakfast.

Actually, you don't need to do much. There was a lot of leftover food from yesterday's meal, so we just heated it up and ate it.
