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

"Originally, I used the method of merging souls to temporarily complete her missing parts. In fact, I can also see what she went through."

"is it?"

"Furthermore, there are some contracts that involve some organizations on the human side. The organizations on the other side have no idea what's going on and think they've been recruited by an organization because they have superpowers."

"What? The research institute is also connected to you?"

Gu Qing was surprised. It turned out that the people at the research institute also knew about Lilith's existence. But how could such a thing be kept from her? She should have a complete grasp of the Gu family's affairs... Wait, could it be that the old man was also involved?

A storm raged in her mind, and Gu Qing had an instant urge to go home and confront them, but Lilith suppressed her.

Lilith said—

"There's no need to rush things with the Gu family right now. Everything was planned anyway. It's even better that you survived the mishap. It's easy to resolve. The key issue is that you're being hunted by the witch. If you go out carelessly now, you'll easily get caught."

"Witch?"

Chen Ming finally caught the crucial part and then asked—

Why is the witch chasing you?

"They think I've possessed Gu Qing, which is almost true, but this is a contract!"

In the eyes of demons, contracts are still something worth keeping, no matter how cruel or unequal they may be; once agreed to, they must be obeyed.

"If they catch them and send them to the research institute, that's fine. But if they're taken back to their headquarters, then there's no way to explain it."

Lilith gave a bitter look.

Chen Ming and the others exchanged glances, seemingly discussing their opinions.

Lucifer smiled and said to him—

"Let's invite Yuqian over for dinner. She probably hasn't eaten yet tonight."

Chen Ming nodded, called his daughter back for dinner, and then discussed with her what to do.

Glug glug...

"Ok?"

There seemed to be some strange noise, and everyone's eyes turned to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing clutched her stomach with her left hand, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said—

"me……"

Some things are hard to explain. In reality, this body has been hungry for almost a whole day and has been chased for a whole day, so it's normal for it to be hungry now.

Chen Ming smiled, took out the pancakes he had prepared earlier, handed them to her, and said—

"You eat first, and then we'll get you some more barbecue, okay?"

"Um……"

Gu Qing reached out and took it, eating it in small bites. This time, her movements were more coordinated, indicating that Lilith was also hungry and was actively cooperating with her.

The meal was quiet. Duck sat on the sofa, her baby face making her look adorable... even though she's actually thirty years old.

Chen Ming hesitated, his outstretched hand wavering. Was it inappropriate to touch a mature woman's head? Gu Qing noticed his movement, reached out with her left hand, grabbed his hand, and pressed it to her own head, saying—

"I'll give you the right to pat my head, since you saved my life."

"I see."

Chen Ming smiled; Gu Qing was quite an interesting person.

As she felt Chen Ming's caress, a thought began to form in her mind. This man had saved her and was connected to a group of unusual people; he must be quite a capable individual, right?

It seems to meet her expectations somewhat...

Unfortunately, he already has a wife.

Huh? He already has a wife, so what's Qin Hui doing here? She must have fallen for him too, right? She even went to their house…

She looked around and realized that he seemed to be the only man there; everyone else seemed to be very close to him.

Could it be the Crystal Palace?

Gu Qing's eyes blinked, as if she was considering something, a little excited inside... But, this didn't seem quite right, did it? He was Huihui's man... Wouldn't that make things easier for her as her best friend?

No, no, what am I thinking...?

……

For the time being, Gu Qing was left in the van. Chen Ming carried Cerberus out, but the dog refused to get down.

There's no other way, even if he's in human form, I'll just hug him like a dog. Anyway, he's not heavy for him right now.

Chen Ming to Lucifer—

"The research institute that Lilith mentioned should be..."

"This must be where my sister works."

Lucifer picked up the conversation, having just inquired carefully about the research institute; that location should indeed be where his sister was.

It really is a mysterious place, even having deals with demons.

Even if you ask your sister, she probably wouldn't know either. There are many projects there, each with a security classification, so they might not even know what the others do.

My sister can come back on holidays, which means that she is not highly confidential and just helps out at other people's homes. She doesn't want to be unable to see her family because of work, or to have too deep a rift with them.

Chen Ming first spoke with A Fu, asking her to bring some barbecue back to the van for Gu Qing to eat. Then, seemingly remembering that his sister had mentioned seeing A Fu at the research institute, he asked—

"By the way, A-Fu."

"what happened?"

"I heard you and your sister met at the research center before?"

"Ah, now that you mention it, it does seem to be true."

"Does the Sword Immortal also have collaborations with that place?"

"some."

Chen Ming was a little curious, but he had other things to do, so he let her leave first. Anyway, A Fu was always by his side, so it would be easy for her to find out the inside story.

A master swordsman, through his collaboration with the research institute, would certainly have a general understanding of the situation.

But no rush, let's deal with Gu Qing's matter first.

Lucifer was holding his phone, talking to Yuqian, seemingly at a loss, then looked at him and smiled—

"I'll have someone else tell you..."

As he spoke, he handed the phone to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming blinked and said—

"What's wrong? Didn't you see I'm holding Cerberus? My hands aren't free."

“Your good daughter is very responsible. She refuses to give up her mission and come back no matter what. You should talk to her about it.”

As he spoke, he held the phone to his ear.

Chen Ming listened carefully and said—

Is it Yuqian?

“It’s me, Dad…Mr. Chen Ming…”

Now that things have come to this, you should just call me Dad. I really don't mind having a good daughter.

He smiled.

Chapter 391 My Daughter is a Daddy-Obsessed Person

Along the overgrown riverbank, the sounds of insects and frogs filled the air, but there was no sign of human habitation. The dense, dark forest cast deep shadows, with only the faint glow of streetlights on the opposite bank; here, it was utter darkness.

stomping on...

The sound of footsteps startled the small animals in the grass, causing them to fall silent for a moment.

brush brush...

Black boots moved with nimble steps through the weeds, followed by a pair of flat shoes, the exposed bony ankles possessing a delicate beauty.

His deep gray eyes gleamed with a blue light, adding a unique touch to the darkness. The tailor, his hands in his coat pockets, gazed at the river before him, lost in thought.

Yuqian followed, looking at the river in front of her, and said—

"Did they hide them in the river?"

"possible."

The tailor nodded. Gu Qing must have suffered serious injuries, so there was a high probability that they could catch up by following the river.

We need to hurry. If we delay any longer, Gu Qing's soul will be devoured, and then it will be too late.

The tailor continued—

"Now we're waiting for Xiaohong to bring the car over. There are a lot of instruments on it, so hiding in the river won't help."

"Oh, I see."

Yu Qian nodded obediently, but then her phone suddenly vibrated. She was slightly startled, then looked over and saw the senior tailor also looking at her, and couldn't help but say—

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Then she quickly took out her phone, glanced at it, and saw it was Lucifer's sister? Why would she call at this time?

Yuqian was a little embarrassed, as she was still on a mission.

The tailor smiled at her and said—

"It's okay, it will take a little while for Xiaohong to bring the tools."

"That's right, senior tailor."

Yuqian planned to call Lucifer and talk to her, as she was quite busy right now.

He answered the phone, held it to his small ear, and said—

"What's wrong, Sister Lucifer? I'm still on a mission."
