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

"Humans are inherently unfair, and human relationships are even more so. What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"...The landlady just said that she has someone she likes."

"...Who did she say she liked?"

"No."

Chen Ming gritted his teeth and brushed Cerberus's fur even more vigorously, causing Cerberus to tremble slightly.

He said—

"If I find out which brat it is, I'll skin him alive. Is the landlady still a child?"

"..."

Lucifer squinted at Chen Ming in front of him and couldn't help but chuckle.

Chen Ming was somewhat dissatisfied and said—

"What are you laughing at? This is a very serious matter."

"Okay, okay, I understand, but isn't it too cruel to peel off that human skin?"

"Cruel? I'll show him what real cruelty is with my fists the size of a clay pot."

Watching Chen Ming raise his fist, Lucifer rested his chin on his hand and smiled, looking like he was enjoying a good show.

The Sword Immortal shook her head.

And Cerberus...

She's already rolling her eyes.

Chapter 43 The Sleeping Sword Immortal Miss Won't Resist

Cerberus felt like he had ascended to heaven. He had been living in hell where no one dared to pet dogs, but now he was experiencing such excitement here.

She was trembling all over.

He's...unable to get married...

Her eyes were filled with tears.

Staring at Chen Ming, who didn't seem to care at all, it decided to just bite him to death. It bared its ferocious fangs and bit down hard on Chen Ming's hand.

"Ok?"

Chen Ming looked down at Cerberus in his arms; she was gently nibbling at his thumb. He stroked her head and said—

"Stop fooling around, it's time to sleep. I have to open the shop tomorrow."

"Who's messing with you? I'm going to eat you up!"

Cerberus spoke fiercely, but Chen Ming could tell from the way her tail was wagging incessantly that she was actually in a good mood.

Sure enough, learning the correct way to pet a dog helped me build a good relationship with it. It just felt like Cerberus was acting a little strange just now.

After nibbling on Chen Ming's thumb for a while, Cerberus spat it out and said—

"You'd better take responsibility."

"Okay, okay, go to sleep."

Chen Ming waved his hand, then hugged Cerberus and prepared to fall asleep.

Cerberus was somewhat angry. What was with that nonchalant tone? How could he act so casually after doing such a thing? Wasn't he human? This behavior was more demonic than that of a demon.

Seeing that Cerberus was still unwilling to give up, Lucifer reached out and picked her up from the ground, saying—

"Okay, stop bothering him. He works really hard."

“Lucifer…I, I have been defiled…”

"...What are you talking about? I just brushed its fur a little."

"...That's true."

Cerberus found it somewhat unacceptable.

Lucifer said—

"Hmm, maybe it's because you don't usually have much contact with people, and your body is too sensitive?"

"I don't know, I almost peed myself just now."

Cerberus barely managed to hold back, glancing at Chen Ming who was asleep, and bared his teeth.

Lucifer's red eyes seemed to be looking at her with displeasure, but her tail was wagging happily, clearly revealing her feelings.

She would occasionally have a mischievous thought, and said with a smile—

"Okay, since you hate it so much, I'll talk to him tomorrow and ask him not to do it again, okay?"

"..."

Cerberus paused slightly, its wagging tail stopping for a moment, then it seemed somewhat reluctant to say—

"Although I don't like it, there's no need to be so indifferent. Let's just let things take their course."

"..."

I can tell you're clearly addicted, but you're unwilling to admit it. Lucifer smiled helplessly, placed Cerberus on the bed, and she immediately jumped off.

She snuggled up next to him, found a spot to lie down, and seemed to rub against him almost imperceptibly.

Why would someone with a bed choose to sleep on the floor or next to him instead of sleeping on it?

Lucifer shook his head, lay down, and looked at Dongyi, who had turned on his computer, and said—

"Aren't you going to sleep? Playing games so late?"

"I'll just play one game. Lucifer, you go to sleep. I'm wearing headphones."

Dong put on his headphones, and the mouse was muted, so it was quiet. This setup was what Chen Ming used when he was in college. He often played computer games until late at night, so he wore headphones and even changed his mouse so as not to disturb everyone's rest.

Now it's the Sword Fairy who benefits.

Chen Ming had spoken to her about it several times, but she always said that she was "cultivating immortality".

Chen Ming was speechless. This isn't how you cultivate immortality, is it? Although staying up all night is often referred to as cultivating immortality online, everyone's just joking.

The longer they spent together, the more they realized that Miss Sword Fairy was a hopeless good-for-nothing.

Lucifer couldn't do anything about her either. Although he could force her to sleep and rest, it seemed too much to bully her if he did that all the time.

Lucifer lay down and said to her—

"You should get some rest."

"Okay, I'll go to sleep after I finish this game."

Then the Sword Fairy opened the Stars.

……

……

Chen Ming got up early to make breakfast, and Cerberus kept rubbing against his calves, making him feel that the dog had become more clingy.

I made a few pancakes and put them on the table, and also cooked some porridge; you can have porridge if you want. The pancakes, as always, didn't sell well, so I used the remaining ingredients to make breakfast for everyone.

Everyone seems to like it, but outsiders don't seem to appreciate it as much, which is quite strange.

He placed the bowl and chopsticks on the table and said—

"Dinner's ready."

Lucifer was sitting on the sofa with his old phone, looking at something. When he heard that it was time to eat, he put down his phone and came over.

Chen Ming watched her sit down properly, take out her bowl and chopsticks to prepare to drink the porridge, and her red eyes turned to him as she asked—

"What are you looking at now?"

"Look at you, stop asking such obvious questions."

Now Chen Ming doesn't hide anything, openly looking at Lucifer's white hair, red eyes, rosy lips, long eyelashes... everything about her is beautiful.

Lucifer listened to Chen Ming's words, smiled slightly, and said—

"I was too talkative."

"Actually, this is not bad. It's good to make conversation when there's nothing to say."

It doesn't matter what we talk about; as long as we're talking, we can feel each other's feelings. Language is a very important channel for communication.

Chen Ming handed her a glass of milk and said—

"for you."

Lucifer nodded, but after thinking for a moment, he said—

"It's strange not to drink milk when you're having porridge."

"That's true, but I thought you liked milk?"

"why?"

"Westerners all like milk."

"Actually, I think soy milk tastes better; it's very fragrant and sweet."

"Okay, I'll buy soy milk next time."

Chen Ming looked at Lucifer with some pleasure. She had started making small requests, which meant that she was becoming closer to Lucifer rather than distant from her.

He said—

"I got a new phone, you can use the old one. It seems Dongyi needs to use her phone for class too... You should keep an eye on her, she's such a lazybones... By the way, where is she?"

Lucifer shook his head and said—

"They probably played games late and haven't gotten up yet."

"This guy..."

Chen Ming shook his head and walked back to his room, where he saw a slender girl lying on his bed, wearing shorts and a white undershirt.
