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

The aunt raised her pale eyes and glanced at her concerned daughter, Chen Ming's wife...

I felt even more guilty.

Her own daughter treats her so well... how could she...

The aunt felt even more guilty...

Chapter 371 A longing for her father's warmth within her body

Chen Ming was pulled away by the landlady. Unexpectedly, she wanted to watch him fish. He picked up a sturdy stick from the ground, tied the fishing line to it, hung the hook, and tied a piece of foam plastic a meter away from the hook to use as a float.

Digging for earthworms is too much trouble, so let's splurge a little today and use some scraps of meat to fish. Others can catch fish with just any bait they use, so Chen Ming thinks he can too.

He cast the line and the hook went into the water.

He grabbed a stool, sat down by the river, looked at the little girl with pigtails beside him, and said with a smile—

"Why do you suddenly want to watch me fish?"

"No, I just think it's troublesome for everyone if you keep causing trouble and bullying others like this."

The landlady rolled her eyes at him. Everyone spoils you, so she'll punish you herself and make sure you can't bully others. She, the landlady, is a champion of justice.

Chen Ming squinted and said—

"Oh ho? Is the landlady going to stand up for everyone?"

"You can't bully others anymore."

"Alright, I'll bully the landlady then."

As he spoke, he put the pole aside, reached out and grabbed the landlady, pulling her into his arms. He buried his face in her pigtails, inhaling the scent of the little girl, and felt a surge of satisfaction.

Who in this world doesn't love cute little girls?

He smiled, hugged her, and gently patted her back.

The landlady gently pushed him with her small hand, but how could she resist him? She could only let him do as he pleased.

"Humph……"

The little girl pouted and quietly pressed herself against his chest without saying a word.

Holding half-cooked vegetables in her hand, Qin Hui shook her head and walked over to take them away, intending to return them to her once they were cooked.

This is everyone's little hero! To prevent everyone from being tormented by the big bad Chen Ming, he took the initiative to lure him away and bear his bullying himself.

Could it be said that the little girl sacrificed herself to feed the tiger?

Whether there was any ulterior motive or not, everyone knew perfectly well. They watched over her with gentle eyes, knowing that children need more care.

The landlady was somewhat pleased by this, but she couldn't accept being treated like a child, and her feelings were very complicated.

He sighed softly...

She looked at the buoys on the river and said—

"If you have a bad character, you won't be able to catch any fish."

"Really? But I've already caught one."

"where?"

The landlady looked around in confusion, her legs struggling to sit up, but with some difficulty.

Chen Ming smiled and hugged her tightly, saying—

"So it's the landlady! You actually took the bait for your companion. I'm going to eat you up..."

As he spoke, he rubbed his cheek against hers again.

The landlady blushed, pushed his face away, and said—

"Stop fooling around... um..."

She was already starting to regret leading him away. How could she have been so blinded by greed and actively provoked him?

It's still because I like him. Even if being bothered by him is a bit annoying, I still like him, I like his hugs and closeness.

I really want to explain to him that girls have the right to consent to sex after the age of fourteen...

Hmm... Even if I told him, it would only scare him away, right? It would be like trying to steal a chicken and losing the rice instead. The landlady isn't stupid; she wouldn't be so impulsive.

Her toes, suspended in mid-air, kicked gently. Her toes, clad in white sandals, were crystal clear, attracting Chen Ming's attention.

It looks a bit like a pomegranate. I wonder if it tastes sweet? Chen Ming shook his head, dismissing these wild thoughts.

……

……

As darkness fell, she staggered through the dense forest, clutching her lower abdomen. Her clothes and delicate skin were tattered, and blood was seeping out.

"Damn it... damn it..."

Fear spread through her heart. Why were these witches so relentlessly pursuing her? They had chased her from the city to the wilderness, and they still hadn't shaken her off.

Her red eyes were filled with tears as she looked behind her. Even though she was injured, she didn't dare to stop, hoping to circle around in the dense forest and shake them off.

tread……

Worrying too much about her back made her neglect other areas. As soon as she stepped on the ground, she realized something was wrong, and her red pupils contracted slightly.

Om-!

A magic circle beneath her feet glowed faintly, and a chill seemed to travel from her feet to her brain, so she quickly retreated.

Click, click, click...

The overgrown ground was instantly frozen solid. She barely managed to dodge it by flying into the air, but one of her shoes was already frozen to the ground, turning into an ice sculpture along with the weeds.

Before she could even catch her breath, she heard the sound of something cutting through the air behind her again. Six needles shot towards her stealthily and swiftly. She had no way to dodge them while she was in mid-air. By the time she noticed the needles, they were already in front of her, and a blue magic circle lit up, which kept enlarging in her eyes.

puff!

"Ugh!!!"

Her body was thrown backward by the blow, and blood splattered into the air, dripping onto the frozen ground and instantly freezing.

boom!

She was slammed into a huge tree trunk by the blue array. Six needles pierced through her limbs, dantian, and neck. Blue array patterns cut across her body, locking her firmly in place.

"Cough...cough..."

She coughed up a little blood and foam, and looked ahead in a daze. Her legs struggled slightly, but they were tightly bound, and her feet could not even touch the ground.

stomping on...

A witch dressed in black leather slowly walked out of the dense forest, her deep gray-blue eyes looking at "Gu Qing" in front of her without saying a word.

Behind her, the thin girl also came over, and seeing the disheveled figure on the tree trunk, she breathed a sigh of relief and said—

"We've caught them."

"...No, not at all."

The tailor gently shook his head, denying Yuqian's words.

Yu Qian tilted her head, about to say something... but Gu Qing's figure had already slowly disappeared, leaving only the array engraved on the tree trunk.

"...She got away again."

Yuqian sighed. She had originally planned to finish her task quickly and go back to have a barbecue with her father. Now, she was already missing her father's warmth, wanting to be filled with his comforting touch…

Of course, she meant eating hot, roasted meat. Yuqian is a good girl; she wouldn't have any unhealthy thoughts.

Sometimes she doubts her feelings, wondering if there's something else mixed in... but she doesn't know yet.

The tailor stepped forward and said—

"Let's go."

"Ah."

Yuqian followed. This time, there was no need to set up any more formations. The opponent had suffered such a loss, so they probably wouldn't try to go around in circles again. That would only give Yuqian the opportunity to set up traps.

……

"Cough..."

Gu Qing covered her mouth, her vision blurring.

Is it going to fail?

Are we about to be caught?

No, no… delicious food, games, wealth, love, and so many other things she hasn’t experienced yet. She doesn’t want it to end like this…

Someone, please save me...

Suddenly, she lost her footing...

Splash...

It fell into the icy river...

Chapter 372 Minors Can Eat Too

Holding a little girl while fishing—it seems Chen Ming once had such a dream: to hold his daughter while watching TV, or simply do nothing at all.

But it's highly likely that children will dislike it.

The landlady is somewhere between a child and a woman; teenage girl is such a wonderful stage, it feels like you can hug her, but you can't be too intimate.

He wasn't unaware of the landlady's intentions. In the end, his actions had gone far too far. Hugging and cuddling a teenage girl would have been considered indecent assault and could have resulted in immediate execution in the past.

It's not as exaggerated now, but generally, people shouldn't be that intimate, especially between men and women, as men and women are not supposed to touch each other.

If he already knew all this, why did he still do it?

Of course, it was because he wanted to do it. He loved hugging the landlady, and the landlady gradually accepted this behavior. So he pretended to be normal and hugged the little girl.

Sometimes I can't help but feel guilty...
