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

She closed her eyes, seemingly with a sense of humiliation, and said—

"As long as it's for Master..."

"Then..."

Chen Ming had enjoyed Xuan Xuejie's changing expressions for a while and was about to let her go with a smile.

At this time.

Click.

The door suddenly opened...

Chapter 537 Kissing the Little Maid

A graceful figure swept past above the clouds, gray hair tracing a beautiful arc behind her, and gray eyes that were ethereal and otherworldly.

She lightly touched the flying sword with her toes, causing her loose clothes to flutter and reveal a section of her fair, slender, and shapely calves.

A beautiful figure, her chest brings a sense of peace.

Afu's flying sword travels at an extremely fast speed; to ordinary people, it might just be a faint, imperceptible light that disappears into the horizon in an instant.

Holding her phone in her delicate hand, she felt a pang of embarrassment as she recalled her previous conversation with Chen Ming.

Having been by his side for so long, I can already glean a lot from his tone of voice; reading between the lines is an essential skill for a young maid.

Of course, to put it more nicely, it's about being in sync.

Chen Ming's tone was telling her the truth, with a hint of teasing. It seemed nothing had actually happened between him and Xuan; it was just an awkward situation that arose by chance.

It's probably something like Xuan falling down.

He's a very gentle person, especially towards pretty girls, so he must be helping Xuan. The advantage of central air conditioning is that it makes everyone around feel warm.

It's just too awful.

Afu felt that it was really wrong of her to assume that Xuan had been harmed by him just because she heard some noise, and that they had some kind of ambiguous relationship.

He was Xuan's master, but he didn't show the demeanor a master should have in front of her. Instead, he was extremely jealous over the smallest things.

Thinking of this, Afu felt extremely ashamed and involuntarily hung up the phone. This act of avoidance made her feel even more cowardly.

She did become weaker after meeting him. Although she won first place twice in the martial arts competition, she knew in her heart that it was just a coincidence. Now, she should have regressed a little.

"I'm such a bad mentor..."

How can someone who wallows in self-pity be a role model for others?

She was consumed by self-blame.

She should trust and care for her apprentice more; acting like a jealous little girl is just ridiculous.

Besides, Xuan is a respectable person. Chen Ming will recruit him into his family in the future, and he will become Xuan's master. Xuan would never do such a thing.

It's impossible!

Ah Fu finally understood and felt relieved. She immediately felt that she should make it up to Xuan. She must have hurt Xuan a lot by misunderstanding her before. She hadn't listened to Xuan's explanation, and she felt really sorry for her.

He has worked tirelessly for his own cause for so many years without complaint or regret. Such a deep bond between teacher and student will never be betrayed.

I must reward her properly when we get back.

Thinking this, Afu had already arrived above the landlady's rental building.

Clang.

She sheathed her flying sword at her waist and landed as lightly as a feather, gently stepping onto the ground.

Afu's expression calmed down. As a sword immortal, he was good at adjusting his state of mind. Now that he was alright, he felt relieved.

He slowly walked up the steps and took out his key.

Arriving at the door, I opened it with a click.

Thinking to myself, I must apologize to Xuandao properly later; I can't let my disciple's heart be broken...

squeak-

Afu opened the old door.

She smiled calmly, looking into the room—

"Bully me, but stop bullying Master. I can take Master's place."

Xuan's voice came from inside.

Afu's calm expression froze instantly.

Don't bully Master anymore, I can take Master's place...

No need for a mentor, I can take her place...

replace……

The ethereal and otherworldly sword immortal stood frozen by the door, motionless as if petrified.

Recalling the strange things like Xuan being a decent person, a man who wouldn't harm his master, and the deep bond between master and disciple, Afu felt as if her heart had fallen into an ice cave.

His grey eyes stared intently at the couple sitting close together in the room, so close that Xuan was practically in his arms, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Ok?"

The adulterous couple suddenly felt a chill down their spines and turned to look at the slender figure by the door.

"Master, Master."

Xuan seemed to have been electrocuted, and she jumped away from him, her hand trembling slightly as she put it to her mouth, because she felt a terrifying aura spreading out.

woohoo...

A cold wind suddenly blew into the small room, making one shiver involuntarily.

Chen Ming was also somewhat frightened. Looking at A Fu, he felt a sense of impending doom, like he'd been caught in the act of adultery. A bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead as he said—

"Ah, Fu...you're back..."

"..."

Click click...

Afu's neck seemed rusty as she slowly turned her head, her gray eyes staring blankly at him, her gray hair moving without wind, floating up as if tinged with black mist.

Just as the two people in the room were trembling with fear, her imposing manner suddenly vanished, her expression turning tearful, and she covered her mouth with one hand, saying plaintively—

I shouldn't have come back!

With that, he turned and ran downstairs.

"Master! That's not how it is!"

Xuan Chong stretched out his hand at the door, his expression as if struck by lightning. She was so shocked that she didn't know how to move, her body stiff and at a loss.

Chen Ming, being thick-skinned, sensed something was wrong and immediately gave chase.

He had just rushed down the stairs when he saw Afu staggering and running outside. He hurriedly rushed over and called out—

"Ah Fu, wait, where are you going?"

Despite being a master swordsman, he was so badly injured by such a blow that he could barely walk and almost fell over after being tripped by the long hem of his ancient-style clothing.

"what……"

Just like any ordinary girl, she simply closed her eyes and waited for the pain to come.

Snapped.

Chen Ming suddenly pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and said—

"If you're not going home, where are you going?"

"Waaah..."

A-Fu bit her lower lip, her gray eyes misty, and clutched his clothes, saying—

"I have no idea……"

Where else could he belong besides him? Of course, he was well aware that A-Fu, whom he had pulled into the mortal world, was no longer the carefree sword immortal who depended on him for survival.

She pushed against his chest and said—

"Anyway, you don't need to worry about it anymore. Xuan will take my place. She's younger and prettier than me, and she's not like me, a flat-chested girl who gets teased by you all the time. It won't make any difference if I leave..."

He held her delicate body in his arms, finding it somewhat amusing. It was rare to see A-Fu throw a tantrum, and her current jealous expression only made him like her even more.

He smiled and said—

"How interesting. Who's in charge of this house? Hmm? My little maid, you think you can just leave like that? Did I even give you permission?"

"I……"

Before Afu could speak, Chen Ming lowered his head from above her and sealed her delicate lips with his.

Afu's eyes widened, and the force she used to push him away gradually weakened until she finally gave up resisting completely. Her face flushed and her eyes were hazy as she savored the kiss.

"ah……"

Some children around covered their eyes, but couldn't resist peeking through their fingers.

Silly couple showing off their love in public, so embarrassing...

Chapter 538 Confession, Date, Little Maid

Afu felt as if her mind was covered by layers of fog, and a faint electric current kept stimulating her senses. Her body slowly went limp and melted into a pool of spring water in his arms.

That's incredibly cunning.

She had no way to resist him. The moment he took her hand and pulled her close, she would lose all will. He was right; she was a maid, and he was her master, the one who controlled everything about her.

In his presence, her words had no weight; everything was up to him.

"Um... um..."

Her grey eyes held only affection, and her delicate nose exhaled a warm breath that brushed against his face, seemingly stirring his heart and causing a slight itch.
