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

"Have I ever ordered my little girl to do anything? The most I've asked her to do is find some cat food..."

"Oh, so the landlady gave you the cat food I hid. You actually stole it."

"...I ate it in front of other people, so it doesn't count as stealing food."

Liuli turned her head away, licked her paws, and said, "I didn't steal anything. Eating in front of a little girl doesn't count as stealing."

Chen Ming recalled the scene where the landlady tried to summon Liuli. It seemed that the landlady had been feeding the cat recently, probably because she found it fun. After all, Liuli was very cute, and it was normal for her to want to feed her.

Lucifer looked at her and suddenly said—

"Where is the little girl at home..."

It seems she's slowly accepting this family, but she just won't openly admit it.

Liuli glanced at Lucifer but remained silent.

Lucifer smiled and said—

"If you're not developing them to risk their lives, then why are you cultivating witches in the first place?"

"She's a magical girl."

Liuli pointed it out and then said—

"There's no particular reason. I just took the system from that imposter out of interest, and then I found it quite interesting."

"A fake?"

Chen Ming tilted his head and understood a little. In other words, this system originally didn't belong to Liuli, but to that "fake" one, who just snatched it and played with it.

Lucifer nodded in realization and said—

"So that's how it is..."

It seems like I've figured out a lot of things.

Liuli said—

"Good that you understand. From now on, we'll call her Magical Girl. It sounds so nice! Witch sounds so unappealing."

"..."

Actually, Chen Ming thought "witch" sounded cooler, while "magical girl" sounded a bit too childish.

Of course, many of the magical girl anime series nowadays are not suitable for children and would be considered children's cult material. Watching them would likely leave children with significant psychological trauma.

"Then why insist on focusing on children?"

Chen Ming still had some doubts.

Liuli said—

"Children have more potential, and there are more possibilities for cultivating abilities from a young age."

"Um... one last question."

Chen Ming looked at Liuli seriously and solemnly asked the question that had been in his heart for a long time—

"Why are there only magical girls and no magical boys?"

"Because men are not lovable."

"..."

Chen Ming stared at Liu Li, who looked completely at him with an air of entitlement, and almost choked on his breath. He shuddered, thinking, "When will this man ever stand up for himself?"

He said with difficulty—

"Boys...can be cute too..."

I was trying to save face for the men, but somehow the way I said it just felt so strange...

"..."

Liuli was speechless for a moment, looked at him, and said—

"Alright then, I'll try signing some as long as they're cute boys."

"...Forget it, I was just kidding."

Chen Ming imagined a group of boys wearing little skirts and calling themselves cute magical boys... and he felt a little uncomfortable. As a straight man, he found it hard to accept.

Liuli squinted at him and said—

"Actually, aren't there magical boys?"

"Ok?"

"It's you! The mark is still on your hand, pfft..."

"..."

Chen Ming narrowed his eyes, gently massaging Liuli's body with his fingers, causing her to tremble and momentarily lose her senses. She then snapped back to reality, glaring at him and exclaiming—

"You again... um... meow... meow..."

Liuli's angry expression was instantly subdued by him, her face softening into a comfortable look, and her body suddenly lost control, indulging in the pleasure he gave her.

Damn it...

Liuli tried to scratch him with her claws, but she was already weak and powerless. When she landed on his chest, it was more like she was being affectionate.

"Hmph, you naughty cat that kidnaps little girls, take it to the market and sell it. You've eaten so much, you've gotten quite fat."

Chen Ming smiled and scratched her chin.

With her last bit of strength, Liuli looked at his pocket, then turned into a beam of white light and disappeared into the spatial pouch inside his pocket.

"what?"

She actually managed to escape. Chen Ming blinked. A Fu had told him that living things are generally not allowed to enter the space bag, but Liuli seemed to be unrestricted.

Previously, they would also hide in A-Fu's spatial bag and board the flying boat together.

Never mind, let her go for now.

Chen Ming reached out to take Lucifer's hand, and the two finally arrived at the market after much dawdling.

Lucifer took him shopping.

"Boss, how much are these ribs? We want to buy more, can you give us a discount?"

"Sister, do you grow your own vegetables? We've bought from you so many times, can you give us a discount for regular customers?"

"This is too expensive. Let's go to another stall and see if it's really this pricey... Can't you lower the price?"

……

Chen Ming watched as Lucifer skillfully bargained, feeling slightly bewildered... In a slightly dirty and chaotic market, a queen of hell was "dominating the scene."

This description might be more accurate.

But actually, they're haggling...

Chen Ming scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. He never bargained when buying things... No, but he probably wasn't the only one who did that, right?

He believed that many men were the same and didn't haggle, so he shouldn't be singled out for criticism.

Chapter 414 Good Wife and Mother

Boys aren't good at bargaining; generally speaking, girls tend to be more careful with their money... Well, that's just Chen Ming's excuse for not being too lazy to haggle. He followed Lucifer through the market.

He helped her carry her things, looking at the pile of groceries in his hands, and said—

"Actually, there's no need to be so fussy. You can't save much money by doing that."

"This is not about money."

Lucifer looked at him and smiled, saying—

"Well... how should I put it? Bargaining with others is actually a form of communication, you know. It can build trust a little, and you might even get some other benefits. Of course, those benefits aren't the most important thing. The most important thing is..."

"What is it?"

Chen Ming blinked, waiting for Lucifer to continue, his curiosity slightly piqued.

Lucifer stared straight at him, smiling—

"Most importantly, being able to negotiate prices can improve my reputation as a daughter-in-law in my parents' eyes, giving me a good impression of being thrifty and hardworking. Although my family is not short of money, I can still get this impression."

His wife was really smart; even with such a little bit of scheming, she wasn't annoying. On the contrary, it made Chen Ming feel that she was even more considerate.

He smiled and said—

"Actually, it's not just my parents, you've also earned a lot more points in my heart. You're such a virtuous wife and loving mother."

"Yes, that's natural, no need to explain."

Lucifer nodded matter-of-factly; everything she did was ultimately for his benefit. Winning over her parents was no exception; she knew he loved filial daughters the most.

Chen Ming, however, said with dissatisfaction—

"Why don't you say anything? Are you so sure?"

"I'm absolutely certain I have you completely under my control."

As Lucifer spoke, he gently kissed the man's lips, placed his hand on his shoulder, then tilted his head and smiled, his eyes narrowing.

"Right?"

"..."

Yes, absolutely right, there's no way to refute that.

Chen Ming felt like he was being attacked very fiercely, but he was holding things in his hands and there were many people around, so he couldn't immediately put them back into his spatial bag and couldn't give her a hug to retaliate.

A single kiss made him overjoyed, and his body felt light.

However, it doesn't matter if he's completely dominated by him, because Lucifer is also completely dominated by him. They can't live without each other, so they can only grow old together.

Well, although Lucifer was originally white-haired...

Chen Ming suddenly paused, as if he was just realizing what was happening.

Lucifer took two steps forward, then noticed him stop, turned around to look at him carrying many bags, and asked—
