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

Then slowly, a white shadow appeared on the water's surface, leaving both the landlady and Chen Ming stunned.

White clothes, black hair... that thing floated quietly on the water...

The landlady's eyes widened, then she looked at Chen Ming with a look of terror... So you were serious? You really brought a corpse up here?

Chen Ming was also scratching his head and sweating profusely.

Ah this...

Chapter 383 The Real Way to Pick Up Girls

The little girl, staring at the "floating corpses" on the river, was genuinely frightened, no matter how mischievous she was. She couldn't help but grab Chen Ming's sleeve, glancing at him cautiously, and weakly said—

“Chen…Chen Ming…”

Her tone was no longer spoiled; instead, it became very obedient, as if she wanted his comfort.

He glanced down and saw that the landlady, who was curled up in his arms in fear, was unusually adorable compared to usual...

Oh wait, what kind of time is this to be thinking about such nonsense?

He gently shook his head, patted her head with his large, comforting hand—

"It's okay, I'm here, don't worry."

"Um……"

The landlady nodded gently.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Chen Ming turned his gaze to the thing floating not far away... It really is a person, right?

The white clothes and the long hair suggest it's a woman.

It's really unbelievable! He was just saying it casually, how could such a thing really exist?! Actually, he was also very scared. How could a normal person not be afraid when they see a floating corpse?

But the landlady was still with him, so how could he panic?

We still need to hold on.

He placed the landlady beside him. The moment she stepped out of his arms, she felt the chill and couldn't help but cling to his waist and grab his clothes.

woohoo hoo...

The night wind blew incessantly, sending chills down one's spine...

Why does it suddenly feel like I've stepped onto a horror movie set? He thought this place was a casual, everyday setting, but now there's this unexpected turn of events?

He slowly pulled the woman towards the shore with a fishing hook. No matter what, he had to get her up first before considering calling the police.

I've heard that after someone reports a crime, the police usually suspect the person who made the report as the first suspect. I don't know if that's true or not, but it's really going too far. After all, Chen Ming feels like he's going to get into trouble now.

No, things have already gotten into trouble.

He sighed softly, then tightened his face. After pulling her to the shore, he hesitated for a moment before reaching out to drag her ashore.

...This hand is no longer usable.

Chen Ming smiled wryly, knowing that he would probably have to wait a while.

"Alas……"

The landlady looked at the object in front of her and realized it was indeed a woman. She was wearing a white dress, had lost one shoe, and her black hair looked like messy seaweed.

Startled, she hid behind Chen Ming and said—

"Call the police..."

The landlady was quite brave; she didn't scream or have any excessive fear or stress reaction, showing that she had a good mental fortitude.

But actually, it's because he's by her side that she feels at ease.

Listening to the landlady's words, Chen Ming was also planning to call the police, but suddenly felt something was wrong. Having cultivated, he could already sense subtle things...

"Hmm... wait a minute."

He crouched down gently, hesitated for a moment, and then moved closer to the woman.

"Chen Ming!"

The landlady held his hand.

"It's alright, it's alright..."

Chen Ming comforted her for a moment, then reached out and turned the woman over, revealing a pale face.

"Wow!"

Unable to hold on any longer, the landlady cried out softly, her legs trembling.

Chen Ming's expression became even more serious. He reached out and touched the woman's nose, saying—

"Sure enough, it's still breathing."

"what?"

The landlady was slightly taken aback.

Chen Ming had already reached out and picked her up. The woman, who had been soaking in the river for who knows how long, still had a heartbeat, and there was no doubt that she was still alive.

However, she was very weak.

Chen Ming wasn't a doctor and didn't know how long this situation could last. He was a little anxious, so he reached up and took a golden halo from his hand, which he quickly placed on the other person's head.

The golden light healed her body, with remarkable effect. Soon, she started coughing and spitting out water until she vomited it all out. Then, her heartbeat and breathing gradually became clear again...

"Cold...so cold..."

She started shivering and kept repeating, "It's so cold..."

Chen Ming thought for a moment, then hugged her tightly and used his strength to slowly warm her up, bringing her a warm feeling... This wasn't really a special technique; Dong Yi and A Fu sometimes used their strength to dry their hair as well.

The woman felt the warmth, and her brows slowly relaxed...

So warm... this feeling...

Her body began to crave this warmth, as if she had grasped a lifeline, and she subconsciously began to shrink into his arms, her cheeks slowly regaining some color.

The landlady blinked. Was this guy really developing into a "central air conditioning" system? Now it could actually be used as a heater/air conditioner! What was with this strange attribute bonus...?

Her lips twitched.

"Wang Wang!"

Cerberus ran over, immediately sensing a strange smell, and rushed to check. Even though she's currently in her beautiful girl form, she didn't know why she barked twice... probably just out of habit.

Her red eyes looked at the woman in Chen Ming's arms, she grinned, and said—

"Master, master, master..."

"Okay, I'm fine."

Chen Ming smiled and patted her head, saying—

"Don't worry, I just hooked up with a girl."

"..."

A question mark popped up above Cerberus's head: Can girls be fished out? How?

If someone were to ask Chen Ming this question, he would probably answer that he used his own pancakes to attract customers, hoping that this would increase pancake sales.

After all, he wasn't lying.

Cerberus looked at Chen Ming with a strange expression.

He looked at her strangely and asked—

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

The dog is looking at me with such suspicion, it must be something. If it's wagging its tail and looking over with a smile, as if it can't contain itself, then it's in heat... just kidding, it just wants to play with its owner.

Cerberus put his index finger to his lips, bit it gently, and tilted his head as he said—

"Isn't this that person?"

"You know him?"

“Master, you know him too?”

"Ok?"

A few question marks popped into Chen Ming's head as he looked back at the woman in his arms.

Indeed, after Cerberus mentioned it, he seemed to have some recollection of it, but he couldn't quite remember it, so he frowned.

Cerberus sniffed, confirmed the scent, and said—

"That's right, it's her, the one who was with Qin Hui before..."

"Gu Qing!"

Chen Ming finally remembered, and looking at Gu Qing in his arms, he suddenly realized.

Miss Gu has a kind of adolescent delusions, and she's like a willful princess. The contrast of her current disheveled state is so great that he didn't remember her.

The landlady seemed to know as well—

"The eldest daughter of the Gu family?"

"Hmm... Qin Hui said earlier that something seemed to have happened to her..."

Chen Ming frowned.

How is this going?

Chapter 384 Baby Face and Huge Breasts

Chen Ming still remembered Gu Qing. Qin Hui had told him about Gu Qing before, saying that she didn't know what had happened and that her family was looking for her.

Qin Hui, as her friend, was also somewhat worried, and Chen Ming comforted her at the time.

I didn't expect to meet that rather interesting young lady so soon... even though he was the one who fished her out of the river...

He was somewhat dazed. Sure enough, he could be considered a seasoned angler, right? After fishing for so many years, he hadn't caught a single decent fish, but today he had even caught a girl.
