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

Then he was holding a large, human-shaped dog, which was a bit out of character.

He smiled and said—

"Ah Fu, I always see you working. Have you been working without resting in places I can't see? No, you can't work today."

"what?"

Afu picked up another piece of clothing. Upon hearing his words, her eyebrows furrowed, and she looked at him pitifully, as if she had been bullied by her domineering master, feeling extremely wronged.

It's only noon today. Even if I had worked non-stop since I got up, it would be impossible to work for eight hours straight.

She bit her lower lip, trying to reason with him, and said—

"Isn't it eight hours a day...?"

"Well... eight hours is the maximum, but if I say I can't do it, then I can't do it."

"Why...?"

"Ok?"

Chen Ming looked at A Fu with some surprise. It seemed that he had gradually intensified the little maid's rebellious spirit.

But it makes bullying them even more interesting.

He smiled and said—

"Because I am the master of this house. My parents and sister are not here, so I make the decisions."

He was rather domineering.

The young maid was at a loss and tugged at her fingers in displeasure.

You can't even work? What kind of master are you? If you're a master, you'll exploit the maids. You always want the maids to have holidays, the kind that only allows them to work three days a week.

Chen Ming also found it a bit funny. He never thought that such a good thing as letting people rest and not work could be used to bully people.

It's not like they don't work or get fed. I can understand someone as lazy as Dongyi, but Afu is strangely cute.

Chapter 344 The Little Maid's Grievance

Ah Fu looked so wronged, just staring at him without saying a word. She was clearly unwilling, but she didn't dare to talk back. It was so cute.

That's why he enjoys bullying people so much... Actually, he has something to say: how is it bullying if he doesn't let Afu do any work?

There may be other hardworking girls in this world, but you probably can't find another one like Afu.

Even nannies aren't this dedicated.

Her little maid was really working too hard.

He was clearly a highly respected figure in the world of sword immortals...

She ended up giving herself away without even realizing it, becoming Dong Yi's dowry maid. Well, if you put it that way, Dong Yi had already sold her out once before, making a secret deal with A Fu.

There's just no way to deal with her.

Chen Ming looked at his maidservant dressed in ancient costume and said—

"Alright, I just wanted you to rest for a bit. I'll help you out too."

"...Really? Then can I still cook later?"

Afu's gray eyes slowly brightened, and he looked pleased. So why is working a reward?

It was because she wanted him to eat the food she cooked, to live in the room she cleaned, and to wear the clothes she hung out to dry... If Chen Ming hadn't strongly objected, A Fu would have even wanted to hand-wash his clothes and let him wear the clothes she washed herself.

Leaving your mark in countless little details and surrounding him with your love gives you a great sense of accomplishment.

More important than cultivation is making her feel joy.

With Chen Ming, she had already wasted her time. Her cultivation had stopped progressing, and she had become complacent. She only wanted to stay by his side as a little maid and win her master's favor.

The pure and abstinent sword immortal had his mind corrupted by his filth, falling from grace and being taken into his hands.

Or rather, she willingly allowed herself to be held in his grasp.

Nothing else matters anymore.

He's all I can think about. This morning I couldn't control myself and did something so outrageous...

Ah Fu remembered what happened this morning, and couldn't help but blush and lower her head. Her black-stockinged slippers and toes lightly touched... It's been quite normal for a little maid to sneak food, from ancient times to the present...

I can't help but find excuses for myself in my mind to justify my behavior.

Chen Ming went over to help A Fu hang up the clothes, but with a "big dog" hanging on him, he was having trouble moving around. He gave a wry smile and said—

"Cerberus, be good. Let me do some work first, then I'll play with you, okay?"

"That wretched master, is he trying to abandon me again?"

"No, I just want you to come down first..."

No way! No way! No way!

"..."

Chen Ming was both amused and exasperated, but there was nothing he could do. He doted on Cerberus, so he let her be.

With a beautiful young woman weighing over 100 pounds hanging on his back, he bent over, picked up the clothes, used a rack to support them, and then straightened his back to hang them up.

It was a little tough, but it was alright.

"..."

Cerberus saw that he was struggling and sweat was trickling down his face, and felt a pang of sympathy, but he said—

"I don't care about masters or anything like that."

As she spoke, she climbed off him and curled up into a beautiful ball at his feet.

He glanced down at her and said with amusement—

What are you doing?

You're a grown woman now, not a little puppy. It looks very awkward for you to be curled up on the ground like that.

Cerberus glanced at him and said—

"Since my owner doesn't like dogs anymore, I'm too lazy to change back."

She thought about it carefully and realized that the reason her owner took the angel birdman out but not her was probably because he preferred pretty girls to dogs.

Don't keep saying dogs are silly. Dogs are actually very smart. The way they look at other dogs is different from the way they look at other people.

Sometimes when their eyes look strange, they'll sneak around with others doing something, without letting the dog go and check.

Then the owner's relationships with others improved; something must have happened.

Cerberus couldn't possibly be indifferent to her master's affairs. She always loved to stick close to her master, but he was always looking for opportunities to get away from her and others, doing who-knows-what.

How can a dog tolerate this?

Well, actually, it's not that her master never looked at her like that... When her master bathed her, she would sometimes comfortably turn back into a girl, and at those times, her master's gaze was also very strange.

So the problem must lie in the appearance; the owner definitely prefers girls.

However, he couldn't shake off the dog's behavior patterns while he was around, so he compromised by using a pretty girl's body to mimic the dog's movements, curling up in a ball at his feet.

perfect.

But looking at the clump of Cerberus at his feet, Chen Ming felt that his dog seemed to have become even dumber...

He shook his head, hung the clothes up to dry, glanced at A-Fu who wanted to help, suppressed a laugh, and said with a stern face—

"No, this is my job."

"Waaah... This is bullying... How can a master steal a maid's job?"

Afu complained softly, directly stating that she was now a maid. Chen Ming smiled and said—

"Don't be like that, it's like I'm bullying you."

"...You're just bullying me."

A-Fu's gray eyes showed a hint of resentment, a rare expression, but it was still a long way from true rebellion.

Chen Ming smiled, reached out and patted her head, and said—

"How did I bully you? I'm not as strong as you."

"You're amazing, you're all I think about..."

Afu muttered something unconsciously, then realized that her almost confession-like words seemed a little embarrassing, and her cheeks flushed again.

Chen Ming suddenly had a urge to invite Xuanxuejie to his home, so that she could watch him tease Afu and see her master blushing and unable to resist as he played with her.

She was already his submissive maid, allowing him to bully her at will.

This scene seems quite interesting. I bet even the Xuanxue sister has ever seen this side of her master before. She might be quite surprised.

Xuan had given Chen Ming a high-quality sword, which was also her personal weapon that she had used for a long time, so Chen Ming had a very good impression of her.

She loves her master so much and begs him to make him happy. Such a good girl, it would be really inappropriate not to invite her over.

Chen Ming finished hanging up the clothes, looked at A Fu, and said—

"Shall we invite Sister Xuanxue over for a visit sometime?"

"Senior Sister Xuan?"

Afu blinked, then looked up and thought for a moment.

Chen Ming twitched his lips and said—

"Mysterious Sister, he's your disciple, the Sword Immortal Fu."

Don't forget, have you? We met before.

"Ah, that's incredible."

Seeing Ah Fu's sudden realization, Chen Ming felt a pang of sympathy for Xuan. Ah Fu had always cared for him as her master, yet Xuan had completely forgotten about her; Xuan was truly pitiful.

No, I absolutely must invite her to my home at least once.
