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

"Don't be angry. Haven't I treated you well? I give you massages and cook you delicious food. You're so picky. I'm good enough for you... I'll take care of you from now on. Don't bite me again. I'm your master."

That little ingrate! He's always been fed and cared for so well, yet he still bites him so hard and even brings him here to bully him. Being his owner is really tough.

"Master...meow...meow..."

As Liuli listened to his last words, she slowly lost consciousness, calmed down, and felt his embrace, meowing softly with her mouth open.

It's already... impossible...

My mind immediately relaxed.

Then suddenly something connected her and him. Chen Ming's eyes widened slightly as he watched a mark slowly appear on the back of his hand.

First, a small pattern appears, then a white ring passes through it and closes. Finally, another line connects the ring, continuing to circle the entire pattern.

Chen Ming's mouth was slightly open.

what is this?

The Mark of a Magical Girl?

I've become a magical girl too?

Chen Ming had a bunch of question marks on his forehead, while Liu Li had already fainted again, leaving him alone in a mess.

Chapter 325 Aunt's Loneliness

Sometimes, the long night can feel lonely.

The aunt slept alone in her sister's room, looking utterly aggrieved. Holding her daughter's blanket, she turned over, smelling the faint scent on it, feeling even more desolate.

Mingming returned home and reunited with everyone, but now things are getting strange.

The main thing is...

Everyone else has company, so why is she the only one who has to sleep alone? And it's because someone has taken over her house and she was kicked out by her own daughter.

Waaaaah... She doesn't want her mother anymore now that she has a husband. I can't keep a daughter like that!

She didn't even want to sleep with her biological mother!

That's really going too far.

Aunt finally understood what it meant to be all alone. Before, when Mingming wasn't married, she could occasionally drag him to sleep together or go to his room in the morning to give him a scare.

Now there's no expectation left, like an old woman truly forgotten by everyone, slowly decaying...

"At least... let my sister-in-law keep me company, or leave me a dog or a cat, that would be fine too. I came all this way home, how come my sister-in-law doesn't care about me and my nephew doesn't love me at all..."

The problem is actually quite simple: both the sister-in-law and the nephew are with their spouses and have no time to deal with her.

She lay on her side in bed, clutching the blanket, her mature figure exuding charm. She looked at her body, her beautiful legs and feet…

To say she's not young is true, but she's by no means old. It's just that she's not interested in other people, so she's all alone.

Normally, I wouldn't feel anything special, just a sense of freedom and ease. But when I can't sleep at night, I inevitably feel lonely.

Her eyelids lowered slightly, her pretty face puffed out gently, and she mumbled—

"Once you've settled down and started your own family, you don't care about your aunt anymore. Xiaoxiao is the same, and so is Mingming... You idiots..."

I really miss the old days. Every time I came back, I would hold Mingming to sleep, and Xiaoxiao would glare at me and insist on staying with me. I would fall asleep peacefully with both children in my arms.

Actually, taking care of the child also gives her a sense of peace.

Like fallen leaves returning to their roots, no matter how long she wanders away, she always wants to come back and put the children to sleep... thinking how wonderful it would be if this could continue forever.

But children eventually grow up, and her little haven seems to slowly become an illusion.

Feeling unwanted by your children, and...

Her mood gradually darkened, then she suddenly sat up, lightly slapped her cheeks with both hands, and said—

"What's wrong? Why are you so downcast? You look like a lonely woman confined to her chambers..."

She talked to herself and regained her spirits.

Hmm, to change my mood, I'll sleep in Mingming's room tonight.

She laughed, grabbed her blanket, and ran to Chen Ming's room next door. She used to sleep here with Mingming and Xiaoxiao, competing with her sister-in-law to soothe the children.

Lying on her familiar bed, Auntie thought about Chen Ming, her expression conflicted.

That's my own nephew...

Why are you with the mission objective...?

She was asked to find the magical girl Yuqian when she returned, but before she even started looking, Chen Ming carried her home.

He claimed it was a chance encounter, so as his aunt, she naturally didn't want to doubt him...

But what do we do now?

She took out her phone, somewhat conflicted about whether to report it to her superiors... Well, actually she wasn't conflicted at all, and casually tossed her phone aside.

When it comes to Chen Ming, she wouldn't hesitate at all; as his aunt, how could she not side with him?

And Yuqian seems alright; she hasn't been hurt or forced. Although her face was a bit pale at first, she gradually seemed to have been tamed by her nephew... no, I mean, gained his trust.

It should be fine. Maybe Yuqian will report to the association on her own tomorrow.

She trusted her nephew very much.

Having watched him grow up, how could one possibly suspect him of doing something wrong?

Well, although I've brought quite a few girls home.

She rested her head on Chen Ming's pillow, seemingly able to smell his scent. Her fair legs rubbed against the bed, and her flaxen hair gently covered her pale eyes, but could not conceal her insightful gaze.

He clearly has many secrets too...

She smiled gently. She really had grown up.

I hugged the other pillow to my chest, bending my legs to hold it between my legs, just like I used to hug Mingming, but the pillow still felt rather empty…

……

……

As night deepened, the tailor, dressed in a flowing princess dress, looked up with her deep gray-blue eyes at the desolate street.

Such a small city is ultimately not as lively as a big city, and there aren't many people around at night.

Another day of searching, still no results.

Whether it's the terrifying zombies, the Boss, or any traces, everything seems to have been severed by a single stroke, leaving no trace.

"Hey……"

The tailor couldn't help but feel a little sad. He shook his head slightly, his long, dark gray hair swaying gently.

stomping on...

The crisp sound of the little leather shoes clicking on the ground echoed along the road.

brake--!

A truck suddenly stopped in front of her, and she looked up.

A few people came out, nodded to her, then opened the carriage and pushed out a black motorcycle.

"...Thank you for your help."

The tailor nodded to them, then climbed onto the motorcycle, inserted the key, started the engine, and let out a deep roar.

She drove, looking at the empty road ahead, slowly tightening the accelerator, and the speed kept rising, the speedometer readings were astonishing.

She sped along like a black lightning bolt, roaring as she raced across the road.

She was venting her frustration.

Wearing an adorable dress, straddling a menacing motorcycle, and driving in such a ferocious manner creates a striking contrast.

buzz-

After a long while, she finally stopped and looked back at the city lights in the distance.

The witch was also filled with loneliness.

"...I have to say, as expected of you. Even though you're so close, I still can't find you."

She felt that her inability to find any clues was probably due to the interference of the powerful Boss.

For the Boss, her "looking for her mother" behavior must have been very interesting, right? So she kept hiding, treating it like a game of hide-and-seek.

It's both innocent and cruel...

How long does the chase have to last before the game ends?

The tailor lowered his eyelids slightly, gently placed his hand on the hood of the car, rested his head on it, and looked at the distant horizon...

long long time...

As the sky slowly turns white, dawn will eventually arrive, dispelling the darkness.

But what cannot be dispelled is the coldness in people's hearts.

……

"Hmph hmph hmph, hmph hmph hmph..."

As dawn broke, a young lady was strolling around the city, her left eye covered by a silk scarf, while the other eye was a bright red, blood-like color.

Chapter 326 Can we sleep together, Dad...?

Chen Ming slowly opened his eyes.

The surroundings were completely silent, making the ticking of the clock outside the living room all the more distinct.

He stared at the familiar ceiling, the last image in his mind being that vast, boundless galaxy... Was it just another dream?

He remembered the dream the landlady had mentioned, which seemed exactly the same as the one he had just experienced.

So it really was Liuli who did this?
