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

Unfortunately, Chen Ming couldn't understand it at all; he just thought it was a very artistic painting, and he couldn't even decipher the signature...

Surely he's not the only one who can't understand cursive script, right? Well, actually, he doesn't even know if it's cursive script or not; he just can't understand it.

He blushed, trying to make up some excuse in his mind, like he wasn't a liberal arts student... He probably didn't recognize anything except standard characters.

Ah, I've recently been able to understand some small seal script characters, thanks to A-Fu's teaching, which has added a touch of literary flair to his otherwise steely mind...

Forget about it.

Chen Ming looked at Cerberus and said—

"Shall we go to Huihui's house to find her? Is she off work by now?"

It's a shame I can't see her in the office. I really want to suddenly attack her while she's working diligently and catch her off guard.

Cerberus thought for a moment and said—

"Maybe not, she seems to have gone out for a social engagement."

She vaguely heard something like that when her clone left earlier. Chen Ming nodded. She's really busy, having to entertain guests in the middle of the day?

I feel a little sorry for her.

He said—

"Let's go to Huihui's house first. This is the company, so it's not very convenient."

"Great, that's perfect, I need to make another door too."

Cerberus wagged its tail. Qin Hui was very good to it, buying it lots of delicious...dog food. She also played with Cerberus. In Cerberus's heart, Qin Hui held a certain place.

It's always easier to win a dog's favor.

She's generally easy to talk to, as long as it doesn't take away her well-behaved dog's place in the family.

Surely no one would be crazy enough to try and take this weird position, right? Someone who doesn't want to be human but only wants to be a dog—that kind of weirdo is probably rare.

Cerberus flicked its tail, and a red magic circle appeared beneath its feet—a spell it had used before to eliminate its presence, even allowing it to evade cameras.

It's a really practical method.

He confidently carried the dog out, closing the door behind him without disturbing anyone.

As I walked out, I realized the floor was quite large. It took me a while to find the elevator that led down the stairs. There were also many people in suits walking around.

But no one noticed a young man wearing a short-sleeved shirt, casual pants, and canvas shoes, carrying an adorable dog, walking past them silently to the elevator and going downstairs.

I walked outside through the lobby where security guards were stationed.

Chen Ming then realized that he didn't seem to know where Qin Hui's house was. He scratched his head and said—

"Cerberus, can you smell the scent of the painting?"

"Hmm... there are several routes."

Cerberus couldn't tell where Qin Hui's house was. She hadn't been there with Qin Hui before; instead, she had stayed up all night in her office fixing the door.

Chen Ming thought for a moment and said—

“Huihui should go home alone. When she goes out for social events, she probably brings other people with her, right? So the side of the house where she only smells is her home.”

"I see."

Cerberus nodded, freed himself from his embrace, sniffed the ground, and pointed in a direction, saying—

"This is it."

"Then let's go."

Huihui's home shouldn't be too far from the company; you can walk there slowly.

Chen Ming strode forward, but Cerberus impatiently grabbed his trouser leg, its tail throbbing restlessly, not wanting him to leave.

He asked in confusion—

"what happened?"

"Master, haven't you walked the dog in a long time?"

The dog's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

Chen Ming was slightly taken aback, then realized that it was true; he hadn't walked the dog for several days, and Cerberus's red eyes were staring straight at him.

He smiled and said—

"What are you doing? Haven't I carried you around to many places already?"

"This is different! It's different when there's no leash and the dog isn't dragging its owner along!"

The dog jumped up, as if in protest.

Let's not even talk about dog leashes, but dragging the owner around like that is probably out of the question, isn't it? So you want to walk the owner? Chen Ming gave a wry smile.

He eventually took out a dog leash and put it on her. Cerberus looked at the thick dog leash around his neck and led the way with great satisfaction.

The dog leash and collar were proof that she belonged to him; the thicker the chain, the more secure it was, and the more at ease she felt.

Chapter 465 No matter how high-class it is, it's still stewed beef.

Sniff...

Cerberus was relatively quiet this time, not as lively as usual. It seems he was in a good mood today and didn't want to walk around.

She wandered around the green path, occasionally sniffing the flowers and plants with her little nose, looking quite amusing. It was hard to tell if she was even focused on leading the way.

Looking at his dog, he really needs to be careful this time so she doesn't turn back into human form; it always causes big problems.

Cerberus ran around, the leash sometimes tight, sometimes loose. Sometimes when she got excited and was about to pull Chen Ming away, he would slyly throw the leash away.

Anyway, Cerberus couldn't possibly run away; he was a loyal dog, and would usually immediately pick up the leash and place it at his feet while barking.

"Master, you need to hold the dog leash tight!"

I was complained about like that.

It's unclear why Cerberus liked this kind of restraint; he believed she wouldn't cause trouble because he had instructed her otherwise.

So there's no need for a dog leash. Cerberus has excellent self-management skills, and no one can see them in this state, so they don't need to worry about being complained about by others.

Is it only when she's being led by a chain that she feels truly at ease?

She's a born bitch.

Hmm, something seems off, but there's nothing wrong with it.

Chen Ming scratched his head and said with a smile—

"I'm sorry, I'll make sure I hold on tight."

That's exactly what I meant.

Cerberus raised its head and started digging in the ground by the roadside again. Chen Ming seems to have been spending less time with her lately, so I'll just play with her slowly. Anyway, Qin Hui is probably out socializing and won't be home for a while.

After the zombie incident, Cerberus was not as willful as before, and he no longer constantly insisted on walking the dog. He was more caring and understanding towards him.

It seems that all the girls in the family are like this, willing to compromise themselves for him, but there are downsides to this, namely that he doesn't want them to feel wronged and wants them to be a little willful.

Feelings are truly a strange thing. Everyone wants what's best for the other, but this can also lead to conflicts.

Chen Ming doesn't want the other person to sacrifice for him; he wants the other person to gain more and take better care of him.

Chen Ming looked down at Cerberus. At first, it was a lively dog, but after meeting him, it became willful. Now, their bond had deepened, and he was thinking of Cerberus's best interests.

This slight maturation made him feel a little heartbroken.

I really want to keep Cerberus's innocence, even if it's just a little willful. Becoming an adult means thinking too much, and I'm not as happy as I used to be.

He pursed his lips and said—

Cerberus.

"Ok?"

The dog wagged its tail and turned around, its red eyes reflecting its owner.

Chen Ming smiled and said—

"I love Cerberus the most, so I can be a little more willful."

"..."

Cerberus tilted her head, seemingly unaware of Chen Ming's meaning. She probably hadn't even noticed her own change, so she simply called out—

"I love my master the most too, hehehe..."

The answer is no different from before.

Chen Ming scratched his head, wondering if he was being a little sentimental. The dog was still as silly as ever, seemingly unchanged.

The man and his dog strolled leisurely, not in a hurry, playing and frolicking for about an hour, before arriving at a towering gate.

Chen Ming looked up at the garden inside. The lawn and trees were all well-maintained, and there was an unremarkable white two-story building inside.

But upon closer inspection, it has a very unique charm.

This is the villa where Qin Hui lives.

Chen Ming thought for a moment and then rang the doorbell.

There was no response; they probably hadn't returned yet. I should go inside and wait a bit, since Cerberus still needs to open the door for her at home.

He carried Cerberus and leaped lightly over the tall gate. As a cultivator, he was not going to be stopped by such a small thing.

He walked straight in, and when he reached the door, he simply waved his hand and opened it.

The security system is practically made of paper.

Chen Ming frowned. Fu seemed to have given Qin Hui a talisman before, right? Should he make one for her too? He truly didn't trust these ordinary security guards anymore.

However, he didn't consider that he was carrying Cerberus, a powerful being that guards the "door." If she were to follow him, the security system would detect it, which would be absurd.

Moreover, Chen Ming himself was no novice; his cultivation level increased dramatically after being dual-cultivated by his wives.

You can't really blame the security system; it did its best.

Chen Ming walked into the house and looked at the living room, where there was a sofa, a TV, a coffee table, and some snack crumbs on it.
