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

Dong Yi said—

“There are rankings in our school. Generally, the top ten are very strong, and their strengths are basically similar. But Lu Bu is an exception.”

The girl remained motionless as her flying sword struck her opponent's vital point. The man had no time to react and could only slightly turn his head away, leaving a cut on his face.

The flying sword ignored inertia, stopping mid-air and spinning as it slashed towards him. He had no choice but to retract his own sword and barely manage to defend himself.

It kept resisting the intrusion of the flying sword, slowly, little by little, getting closer to the girl.

Dong Yi continued—

"Once, Lü Bu faced three of the top ten masters. Everyone thought she was courting death, but she surprised everyone by fighting them all without being at a disadvantage. In fact, if her teacher hadn't intervened, she might have actually won."

The battle in the scene quickly reached its final moment. The man gritted his teeth and rushed in front of the girl, his flying sword streaking like a comet.

clang!

Lu Bu's flying sword blocked the opponent like a ghost, and the tip of the sword landed right in front of the opponent's neck, as if the opponent had deliberately come forward.

"I appreciate your concession."

Lu Bu's voice has a serene quality that makes people forget their troubles.

Dong Yi smiled and said—

"See? It's a complete annihilation. Her deeds are like those of Lü Bu in the Three Kingdoms. She could fight three people at once, so we call her Lü Bu, which also means 'unparalleled in the world'."

Chen Ming scratched his head. He couldn't really tell if it was a complete domination, but he could definitely feel the girl's strength.

only……

Isn't it a bit too unlucky to have the nickname Lü Bu?

I have a feeling it will be White Gate Tower...

Chapter 41 Raising a Girlfriend to the Point of Waste

I'm going to bed now.

Chen Ming escorted the landlady downstairs.

He said—

See you tomorrow.

"..."

The landlady turned around and stared at him with her dark eyes, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Asking the Way—

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

He looked himself up and down, then looked at the landlady. Today, the landlady was wearing a red pleated skirt, white tights, and round-toed leather shoes.

To be honest, white socks aren't for everyone; if your legs aren't shapely, they can make you look heavier. But the landlady is very pretty, with a soft, delicate look to her.

Kids these days really know how to dress up.

But it seems to be a school uniform? Have the schools here finally figured it out? Back when Chen Ming went to school, he always wore a "big green sack".

The landlady followed his gaze and saw her calves. She took a step back and said—

"What are you looking at?"

"...No, just spacing out."

It wasn't entirely a lie; he'd just been lost in thought and his gaze had inadvertently fallen there. Chen Ming looked away, feeling a little guilty.

The landlady sighed and said—

"That's why I'm worried..."

What are you worried about?

Chen Ming was puzzled.

The landlady pursed her lips. What could she possibly worry about? He was a virile young man sharing a room with three girls.

Even if you trust his character completely, isn't it possible for things to go awry? Besides, how much self-control does he really have? He was just staring at her calves…

Old pervert.

The landlady felt a surge of resentment. She had arrived first, but due to her age, she found it inconvenient to do anything, while those who came later overtook her one by one.

That's really tragic.

Although Lucifer promised to give her a chance, she was still a little uneasy.

The landlady kicked the pavement and said—

"Don't do anything out of line."

"What outrageous thing did you do?"

"It's...something really outrageous..."

"...You're overthinking it. There are four of us there. How could we possibly have any opportunity to do anything?"

"Why don't we just do it together?"

"I think it's time to put a kindergarten mode on your phone. You're always thinking about all sorts of random things."

Chen Ming roughly ruffled her hair, messing it up. She cried out, trying to stop him, and tidied her hair, saying—

"Hmph, men are all lecherous old men. You dare say you've never thought about such things?"

"……No."

He still needs to pretend to be virtuous and upright in front of his children, so as not to set a bad example for them.

"cut."

The landlady rolled her eyes dismissively.

Chen Ming smiled and said—

"Go back to sleep. Children won't grow tall if they don't sleep. Don't regret it later."

Do you like tall girls?

"Hmm... I actually prefer someone petite. My dream is to be able to carry my girlfriend around the amusement park."

"...That's basically taking care of a daughter!"

The landlady couldn't help but complain, "What kind of strange dream is this? Don't most people hope to earn countless 'small goals'?"

But then I thought about it again, and it seemed like I was exactly what he wanted, that I could be carried to the amusement park by him... but it really felt like I was taking care of a daughter.

The landlady sighed and said—

"A girlfriend isn't a daughter, is it?"

"Isn't that right?"

Chen Ming looked very serious as he said—

"Buy her clothes, take her out to play, cook for her, feed her, and then lull her to sleep... that should be right."

"Although it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it, after what you said before, it looks like you're taking care of your daughter now. I can't go back to looking at it this way."

The landlady's headache worsened, and she said—

"Besides, you shouldn't spoil your girlfriend like this, right? You'll spoil her badly."

"But that's exactly how I treated the landlady."

"Varied……"

"The landlady is very sensible."

Chen Ming genuinely felt that the landlady was a very nice person, and that he should just spoil her as much as possible... Uh, why is she blushing?

The landlady's face turned bright red. She covered her cheeks with her hands and muttered angrily—

"What, what... it's always like this..."

Why treat your girlfriend like that, but your landlady like that? If it were a confession, you should have said it seriously. But it definitely wasn't a confession, of course she knew that, so she was both embarrassed and angry.

She silently resolved that she would teach Chen Ming a lesson one day.

"Landlady?"

Chen Ming asked with concern.

She glared at him, her face still flushed, and said—

"In short, your view of love that spoils your girlfriend is not advisable. Even in a romantic relationship, spoiling her too much can lead to serious consequences."

"...What serious consequences?"

"It's like... it makes people unable to resist being willful, then they become very dependent on you, and in the end they might even become useless people who can't live without you, they've been spoiled and ruined."

"Isn't that great? If you spoil me, I won't be able to leave you at all, and I'll become completely dependent on you. Anyway, I'm not going to let you go."

Chen Ming sometimes says some truly terrifying things; his gentle care hides such filthy thoughts.

The landlady kicked him in the knee and said—

"That won't do, you bad guy!"

"I was just expressing my love in a very positive way?"

"Love can sometimes hurt others, so it should be expressed in moderation."

"Even though she's never been in a relationship, the landlady is a real expert in love."

"What? Have you ever been in a relationship?"

"..."

Chen Ming paused for a moment in an odd silence, then frowned and pondered for a while before hesitatingly saying—

"There shouldn't be... no..."

"...What's with that strange silence!? What do you mean by 'shouldn't be'?"
