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

She glanced at the landlady and suddenly felt that Xiaoying was a bit cunning. Since she didn't have a roommate, she could stay here for a whole afternoon, playing and sleeping with her father.

Uh...

so envious.

Yuqian felt increasingly aggrieved by the situation. Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at Chen Ming, grabbed his leg, and pleaded pitifully—

"Dad...it's not fair..."

"what?"

"Xiaoying doesn't have to go back to school, that's not fair..."

"..."

The landlady's eyes widened. So her well-intentioned reminder was interpreted like this?

Yuqian, something's wrong with you.

Chapter 504 The Daughter Snuggling in My Arms

The landlady squinted at her classmate, her future daughter, clinging to his leg and crying—it was truly a pitiful sight…

However, what he said was somewhat unreasonable. It was simply a case of not being concerned about scarcity but about inequality. He was envious of others' possessions because he didn't have them himself.

It's clear how much Yuqian cares about Chen Ming.

Chen Ming, however, was pleasantly surprised. Yu Qian was actually so jealous and cried like a spoiled child.

They are really very cute.

It also made him feel gratified that the obedient Yuqian had finally been corrupted by him... well, no, it should be said that she had shown a girlish nature.

She's usually very well-behaved and doesn't want to cause him any trouble. She wants to be a good daughter, and it's rare to see her being willful like this. This is probably the first time she's cried and made a fuss like this.

He couldn't help but show a look of relief for his elderly father.

No one likes a naughty child, but a child who is too sensible is so pitiful. It's better to be willful with him occasionally and vent your feelings.

It's perfectly normal for children to be willful; we shouldn't deprive them of that right. Once they become adults, they rarely have the opportunity or the inclination to be willful anymore.

It would be so pitiful if a person never acted willfully in their entire life.

At least, he wants his child to be able to cry and fuss in his arms without causing trouble for others, so what's wrong with that?

He smiled, picked her up, and comforted her—

"Oh, yes, yes, it's not fair at all. The landlady is so awful, isn't she..."

"?"

The landlady, veins bulging on her forehead, tilted her head as if a question mark had appeared above it, and stood with her hands on her hips, watching this foolish father and daughter...

I'd like to give each of them a flick on the forehead.

The kind that uses an iron head-flicking device.

I kindly reminded them, but they both complained at the same time. What's wrong with this time? Will it ever get better? When will the landlady finally stand up?

Chen Ming was now focused on comforting Yu Qian, and said while holding her—

"If Yuqian doesn't want to go back, then don't go. I'll help you ask for leave afterward if the teacher comes to find you."

Just spoil the child.

Fortunately, Yuqian was just crying and complaining; she was actually a very sensible and good child. She rubbed against his strong chest and said—

"No, I still need to go back. I can't let my classmates worry..."

"What a good child."

Chen Ming nuzzled her cheek and held her slender, delicate body, making her incredibly endearing.

Yuqian hugged his neck, looked up at him with her big, watery eyes, and said hesitantly—

"But...can I ask for a little compensation? Just a little bit will do..."

"What kind of compensation? Whatever it is, Dad will agree to it."

Chen Ming is currently in a state of being swayed by his daughter, and he almost always grants her every request.

Yuqian's cheeks flushed slightly. She leaned over and gently kissed him on the cheek, saying—

"Like this."

It felt like being chirped by a little bird.

Chen Mingxin melted, hugging Yuqian and kissing her cheeks repeatedly, saying—

"You can stay in your father's arms forever. He will take care of you and you don't need to go to school anymore."

"This won't do! You idiot!"

The landlady finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she raised her white-stockinged leg and gave him a light kick in the back of his knee.

This idiot dad... he really is...

They're a hundred times more troublesome than unruly kids!

……

……

The landlady struggled mightily to finally throw Yuqian into the portal. She leaned against the doorframe, panting heavily.

Really are……

It must be really tough for her to shoulder the family responsibilities of disciplining her husband and daughter at such a young age.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, the twin-tailed loli panting as she looked around the room... and saw her older sister Lucifer covering her mouth and snickering beside her...

"..."

Yes, Lucifer is still here, so why didn't she come to help just now?

Sister Lucifer, why are you just watching!

Can you really bear to do this?

The landlady pursed her lips, looked at her, and said—

"Sister Lucifer..."

Lucifer blinked his red eyes, feeling that he was being a bit too much of a showman, but actually watching the three of them bickering was like watching a comedy, which was very interesting, and he unconsciously stopped paying attention to it.

However, the outcome was a happy one for everyone.

Is it the landlady who has to work so hard and complain?

She smiled and patted the little girl with pigtails on the head, whispering to her—

"Because you and I are the same, aren't we..."

The landlady didn't want the child to have a legal status; she wanted him to be like Lucifer. In fact, Lucifer might be quite cunning, accurately grasping what his family truly desired.

Just like the landlady, who always wanted to be recognized, she didn't want to be his child... Now Lucifer directly recognized her, saying that she was the same as him, and this recognition immediately made the landlady's eyes widen.

So that's how it is. In Lucifer's eyes, I'm already at a level comparable to her?

Hehehe...

She couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing the landlady's happy expression, Lucifer smiled, put his arm around her shoulder, and rested his soft body on her head.

What an easy child to coax...

She raised her red eyes, exchanged a glance with Chen Ming who was eavesdropping beside her, and gave him a mysterious smile.

Chen Ming felt a chill run down his spine.

He pretended to look away, glancing at Cerberus wagging her tail at his feet, then bent down, picked her up, and changed the subject—

"Wife, aren't you leaving?"

"I don't need to take a nap over there... um..."

The landlady's instinctive reply startled Chen Ming, who quickly blushed and said—

"No, no, I misheard..."

"..."

Landlady, you'd better be careful. One wrong word and you could send me to jail... A bead of cold sweat trickled down Chen Ming's forehead. Perhaps she was the most dangerous person in this house for him.

Lucifer laughed, looked at him, and said—

"It's time to go, but crossing the gates of hell isn't that simple. I want to take a dog back with me."

"Wang?"

Cerberus, being caressed by Chen Ming, stuck out its tongue, its limbs struggling somewhat unnaturally, trembling slightly.

He handed the helpless dog to Lucifer and said—

"Here, this is my favorite dog..."

As soon as Chen Ming finished speaking, he inexplicably thought of Xiao Hei from before... He hesitated for a moment, then added—

"……one."

"Wang?"

Cerberus, despite being a silly dog, suddenly looked at Chen Ming with an incredulous expression.

One of what?

"My favorite" should be added as "one of my favorites"?

The dog sensed an inexplicable crisis.

Chapter 505 Master, do you have another dog on the side?

Cerberus had never suffered such an injustice. A flash of red light appeared on his body, and he created another clone that remained in Lucifer's arms. He then jumped back onto Chen Ming, clinging to his chest, his red eyes fixed on him, and cried out—
